Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

After mechanically swinging the sword three hundred and four times, Rhine sat on the empty laboratory table holding the Sword of Humus.

“Can’t we change the experimental project?

How about we find a way to lure a Dotoreimond, I'll be the bait and you'll lie in wait, to try, uh, the different possibilities of similar samples under the same experiment?"

Albedo shook his head and ignored Rhine's strange experimental proposition: "According to what you said, the strength of the "Doctor" slices varies. If I attract a powerful slice, I may not be able to deal with him."

He stretched out his hand to Rhine: "Give me the Sword of Humus."

Rhine handed the hilt to Albedo. After he touched it for a long time, red lines spread on the Sword of Humus starting from the hilt.

That is a sign of being eroded by "natural law."

Albedo waved his hand, and the Sword of Humus floated in the air, along with it, there was a piece of blood-red ore with a texture similar to the Deep Red Stone.

Under Albedo's operation, the blood-red ore liquefied in a form that Rhine could not understand, like a strand of blood, surrounding the Sword of Humus and then attached to the sword.

"That way, there should be no problem."

Albedo raised his hand and the Sword of Humus floated towards Rhine again.

"You just happen to be lacking a weapon. Take this. I have already strengthened this sword. It was once able to absorb the power of the executor. It has basically reached its limit.

But just now when it merged with Durin's heart essence, I used alchemy to change its structure, and now it can absorb more power."

Albedo's interest in the Humus Sword is obviously not as high as before: "If you kill a powerful enemy with this sword one day, you can come to me again. Maybe I can test its other data."

Rhine nodded and took the Sword of Humus.

……

"Leonid, do you think an Executor could work in the Fatui's logistics department?"

Inside the Goethe Hotel, Rhine stood on the balcony, looking at the endless flow of people downstairs.

Even standing behind Rhine, Leonid would bow his head slightly when answering: "Sir, the work of Lord Rooster and Lord Rich can be regarded as the logistics department, but as far as I know, their work is not easy."

During the days he followed Lord Heretic, Leonid had already gotten a rough idea of ​​the new executive's personality.

Apart from performing official duties and doing a few things that interest him, this gentleman spends most of his time traveling or lying down to sleep.

So when Rhine asked this kind of question, it was obvious that he wanted to find a quiet place to hang out after returning to Winter Solstice.

Rhine shook his head. He knew what Leonid was thinking, but since he could use the power of "Heavenly Principle" to find the Heart of God, General Officer Piero would not let him sit idle.

Rhine sighed and turned to walk towards Rosalin's room.

"How did you know I was here?"

Rosalin was sitting in her bedroom, with her head down, thinking about something.

"Anastasia, she never hides anything from me."

Rhine recalled Anastasia's expression, and it seemed that she even laughed secretly when she knew he was looking for Rosalyn.

A large bouquet of roses appeared in Rhine's hand and he handed it to Rosalyn.

In addition to the bright red roses in the bouquet, there is also a touch of green that is particularly eye-catching.

Rosalin took the rose in one hand, pinched out the Heart of God from the bouquet with the other hand, and looked at Rhine with a puzzled look.

"Don't look at me like that. I have already done what I wanted to do. The Heart of God has no value in my hands anymore. In other words, we can return to Solstice and report to the Queen." Rhine explained with his hands spread out.

"It's the best."

Rosalin raised her head slightly. "Where are your girlfriends? Foreign travelers, knights of the Knights Templar. Don't you want to say hello to them before you leave?"

"You are so good at joking."

Rhine just smiled, and it seemed that she was in a much better mood because she was finally able to complete the task.

After parting with Albedo, Rhine greeted his acquaintances in Mond.

"I will be away for a while, maybe traveling to other countries, or maybe returning to my hometown. The wind in Mondstadt is free, but no one will stop in freedom."

This was the common language used by Rhine when he said goodbye to everyone.

"Drink less, I'm leaving now."

This is what Rhine said when he woke up the sleepy Wendy in the tavern.

"Remember...hiccup, you can come back and visit during the Windblume Festival." Wendy once said to him in a daze.

"Scaramzi is still investigating the meteorite, but it seems his identity has been discovered. He is said to be an astrologer."

Rosalin paced slowly in the room, chatting about unimportant things. It seemed that she was in a really good mood.

"As an astrologer, it's normal for him to be a little perceptive."

Rhine also remembered that Mona would also participate in the meteorite investigation.

“But I’m also an executive officer.”

Rhine suddenly thought that although he had not received the Queen's blessing, he possessed the power of "heavenly justice". He wondered if Mona would discover anything unusual.

"Although the Fatui's infiltration into Liyue is slow, there has been some progress. After this, we will also go to Liyue and join them." Rosaline suddenly introduced the situation in Liyue to Rhine.

"Tartaria has already started working on the replica of the 'Hundred Taboos' and is also investigating the whereabouts of the many demon gods in Liyue.

Liyue is different from Mondstadt. This country is still under the governance of the God of Rock. It is said that the God of Rock, Morax, will send down oracles every year to guide Liyue's development for the year.

In addition, there are some hidden immortals in Liyue, but they are not a concern. What we need to consider are the Seven Stars of Liyue..."

Rhine leaned against the window, with his back to the sun, listening to Rosalyn's patient explanation.

After successfully obtaining the Heart of God, Rhine felt that Rosaline's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a lot. After all, he had no background, but joined the executive team, so it was normal for others to be dissatisfied with him.

But Rhine, who had never experienced the blessing of the Queen, was able to find Barbatos in the territory of the God of Wind and successfully obtain the Heart of God. Such ability should not be underestimated by Rosaline.

Although Rhine concealed a lot of information and did not disclose the details of his actions, he evaded the question by saying that it was "absolutely confidential and needed to be reported to the commander-in-chief."

But executives only look at results.

Just like "Doctor" Dottore spoke to Rhine in an equal and polite manner when questioning him, to them, Rhine was already capable enough to be on the same level as them.

"We will return to Winter Solstice soon and report to the Queen before heading to Liyue. Rhine, there is no need to hide your achievements." Rosaline looked at Rhine, and her eyes finally relaxed.

"Yeah." Rhine nodded.

It was a very normal arrangement. Compared to the mission, Rhine was more curious about whether he could see the true face of Her Majesty the Queen this time.

"There is no award from the Queen, and no testimony from a private soldier."

Rhine still remembered what Scaramucci said to him when he met with the other executives.

He was right. It was too easy for Rhine to become an executive officer, and the timing of his appearance was too coincidental. This made him always feel that the Queen and Piero were hiding something from him.

"Heretic", this is the name that the Queen herself gave to Rhine. It should not be meaningless, at least not as casually as drawing a card.

I wonder if I can make any new discoveries this time when I return to winter.
