Jingfu Port.

Rhine stood in front of the dock, wearing a white executive cloak and holding a glass of iced juice, watching the workers in front of him carrying goods coming and going.

"There is actually official trade between Solstice and Mondstadt?"

Rhine asked Leonid who was standing beside him.

“Sir, although the relationship between the two countries is not very harmonious, it is still pretty good on the surface, and Mond’s specialties are indeed widely praised by the people.

Especially the dandelion wine produced by Chenxi Winery. Although it is not strong enough, the taste and flavor are good, and..."

When it comes to wine, Leonid suddenly seems to become knowledgeable.

As Rhine made his way to the steamer, he listened to Leonid's brief talk about alcoholic beverages.

"Dear Rosalin, we are about to return to winter. I wonder if you miss the snow in the north." Rhine opened his arms to welcome her, still looking out of place.

"Fortunately, I am not from the Winter Solstice."

At this time, Rosalin had nothing to do, so she was standing at the bow looking at the sea level, and then turned to look at Rhine.

If she remembered correctly, Rhine had only been a member of the executive officers for a short time, and there was not much trace of his life in Winter Solstice. How could he feel a sense of belonging there?

"Thinking back on the trip to Mondstadt, it was really hard."

Rhine drank the ice hook juice and suddenly sighed.

Rosalin and Leonid behind Rhine looked at him with suspicion.

Hard?

Stay in the hotel and enjoy a massage, make an appointment with the Knight of Favonius to go out in the middle of the night, drink at the tavern with public funds, go on an adventure to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, and listen to the bards singing when you have nothing to do.

If this is considered hard work...

When Rhine is doing serious work, he is often with the Knights, so he is not easily observed by the Fatui, but when he is doing other things, even if there is no need to track him deliberately, some members will discover his whereabouts.

For example, eating, drinking and having fun.

Rhine never brought anyone with him when he traveled, so no one recorded his movements.

While he did complete the Queen's mission perfectly, no one knows the true details.

In the eyes of everyone, Rhine somehow gained the trust of the Knights and obtained the Heart of God, which made him even more mysterious in the minds of many Fatui members.

But when it comes to hard work, Leonid knows that all the task approvals, process reports, and action guides of all sizes, even those far away in Liyue and Inazuma, which should have been done by Rhine, were all done with the help of "Madam".

In Leonid's eyes, as the leaders of the Fatui, the executive officers do have to deal with these matters. Even an executive like Tartaglia who only knows how to fight has to fulfill some responsibilities of leading newcomers.

However, what many people don't know is that those jobs belonging to Rhine have been assigned to Rosalin by the general officer Piero on the grounds of helping newcomers.

Yes, Rhine could be found in Rosalin's office almost every day, not because of her strong sense of responsibility, but because she did many things that should have been assigned to Rhine.

Rosalin's expression was usually cold, which well concealed her dissatisfaction at the moment.

After all, Rosalind also had the arrogance of an executive. If Rhine hadn't sent her flowers every day to please her, she would really ignore the advice of the general manager and push those tedious and boring things to Rhine.

The fire in Rosalin's heart had indeed been obscured by the power of the Ice God, but she was no fool.

We are all executives. Why should you, a newcomer, go to the pub and drink every night while I have to deal with those documents?!

Rosalin wanted to tell her everything, but when she thought about the fact that Rhine had obtained the Heart of God and became the greatest contributor in Mondstadt, all she had to say turned into a cold roll of the eyes.

"We're going back to winter soon, so don't be unhappy."

Rhine didn't know all this, and in Rosalin's eyes he was still a heartless person.

"But do we have to go back? Wouldn't it be more convenient to send someone to bring the Heart of God to the Queen, and then go directly south to Liyue to start a new plan?" Rhine suddenly asked.

"Of course we have to report to the Queen. We are executive officers, the pinnacle of power under the Queen. We are not some guerrillas. You can go wherever you want."

Rosalin returned to her usual state, speaking to Rhine with a tone that was a bit disdainful and a bit cold, but she still explained it to him in detail.

Even Leonid knows this, but this executive knows nothing.

Rhine was like an ignorant newcomer who had just joined the Fatui. Only after listening to Rosaline's responsible but cold introduction was he finally able to leave the deck.

When he walked into the cabin, it was still the same room he had stayed in when he first came to Mond, except that he had added some fruit drinks, pastries and snacks to the room in accordance with Rhine's small request.

Rhine lay on the bed, looking at the familiar ceiling, stretching one hand into the air and gently stroking it.

A black and red cube, a one-handed sword soaked in black and red, and an ice crystal, three objects were floating in the room.

The power of "Heavenly Law", the Sword of Humus, and the power of Slice that was plundered by the Sword of Humus and should have belonged to "Doctor" Dotole. I wonder if it comes from the gift of the Ice Queen.

Of course, there is also the alchemical ability that Albedo unlocked for him.

“It seems like yesterday.”

Rhine sighed.

The last time I boarded a steamship, I was hastily appointed executive officer and rushed to Mond, in a very confused state.

Although I am not very smart now, at least I have adapted to the environment.

With a light touch of his finger in the air, a mirror floated in the air, facing Rhine, reflecting his young face and cross-shaped pupils.

Far in the north, in a magnificent and empty palace, a mirror made of ice is suspended, making the palace, which is not warm to begin with, even colder.

In the center of the palace, a white figure sat on a high-backed throne, staring at the frosted mirror with the gloomy man beside her.

However, what was reflected in the mirror was not the two people present, but a young man lying on the bed with half a piece of date palm honey in his hand.

The man chewed honey, his cross-shaped pupils slightly narrowed, and his face looked very comfortable.

"What do you think of him?"

The man sitting high on the throne asked.

"Queen, we don't have much time left. At least in my opinion, he should be trustworthy. Moreover, if everything is true, his position will definitely be consistent with ours."

The man standing nearby replied calmly.

"hope so……"

It is a consensus among the people of Zhidong that the Port of Zhidong is frozen all year round. However, thanks to the high-quality heavy industry technology of Zhidong Country, the ice in the port cannot even block the medium-sized steam ships produced in the country.

If it were a large steamship, it would be possible to travel unimpeded even to the oceans further north. However, for ordinary people, there were no resources that could be mined by the public further north, and instead there were terrifying water beasts, so there was really nowhere to go.

At this moment, in the snow and wind, a large steamship happened to enter the port. If someone had good eyesight, they might be able to see the figure standing on the bow of the steamship, almost blending into the white snow.

Standing on the deck, wearing an executive officer's cloak, the new executive officer "Heretic" reported to the Ice Queen with the treasure obtained from the God of Wind.
