Although it was preparation, there was nothing Rhine could do. He had to follow the familiar route to Piero's laboratory. Along a row of familiar shelves, he reached up and pulled out a bag of good quality coffee beans.

"How did you find this place?"

Behind Rhine, a voice colder than the wind and snow outside sounded.

Holding the bag, Rhine slowly turned his head and said, "Well, I came to see you. It was not convenient to talk about the past in front of the Queen just now, so I came to see you in person."

"Yeah." Piero looked at the grinning Rhine, his face still serious.

"I can feel that there is another aura about you."

Piero walked up to Rhine and touched his forehead with his hand.

Along Rhine's forehead, golden lines spread all over his body.

"You are learning alchemy, no, you have 'mastered' alchemy." Piero said firmly.

“I don’t have any foundation, but it’s a good start.”

Rhine nodded: "I have untied the alchemical shackles that Rhinedort placed in this body. Although I don't fully understand it yet, I can indeed use alchemy."

"Are you interested in alchemy?" Piero asked.

Apart from himself, no other executive was a true alchemist. Although Rhine did not have much talent, he had the foundation of Rhinedort.

If he wants to learn, I can teach him some knowledge.

"Alchemy is so profound that I cannot get involved without any basic knowledge. To reach your level, both talent and hard work are indispensable. My current ability is already my limit. I dare not ask for anything more."

Rhine answered modestly.

This is not called laziness, it's called self-awareness!

"Oh, right."

Rhine's tone suddenly became serious, which made Piero pay attention.

"Do you have any milk and sugar?"

"..."

Piero seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

"Nevermind."

Rhine held the coffee beans in his hand, and golden light overflowed from between his fingers.

Apparently, he was grinding his coffee using alchemy.

"Remember to put the things back." Piero walked to the side, as if to check the results of his experiment.

Looking at Rhine who was grinding the coffee beans finely, Piero suddenly felt fortunate that he did not pass on his knowledge to him.

After chatting with Piero for a few words and asking for advice on operations in Liyue, Rhine said goodbye to Piero after drinking a cup of coffee without any seasoning and left the laboratory.

Piero glanced at Rhine. Unlike Rhine's clear cross-shaped pupils, his eyesight was still very good, but there was only coldness in his eyes.

"Young man."

He seemed to see himself in Rhine's eyes, that high-spirited and naive young man.

Unfortunately, he was too young at the time and failed to realize the intention of the "sage" early on, nor did he have enough eloquence to persuade his king.

In the winter harbor, the steamship was as majestic as before, except that the red figure was no longer visible.

"Where's Rosalyn?"

Rhine walked onto the deck and took the kerosene handed to him by Leonid.

"The lady has entered the cabin. Are you looking for her? Do you need me to lead the way?" Leonid replied.

Rhine waved his hand and took a big sip of fire water.

It tastes spicy, as if a fire is burning your whole body along your throat.

This wine, which is produced only in winter, is indeed very strong. Once you get used to the taste, dandelion wine can only be considered a low-alcohol beverage.

However, when Rhinedort created Rhine's body according to the template of the Kanreya people, it seemed that they also took into account their tolerance for alcohol.

This kind of fire water that would make Diluk fall asleep for three days after drinking it was just a little strong in Rhine's opinion.

"I feel like I can give Wendy a drinking contest."

Rhine talked to himself, leaving Leonid beside him confused.

Liyue Harbor, as the name suggests, is a coastal city.

As the port with the largest trade volume in Teivat, its cargo throughput is unmatched by ordinary ports.

In such a port, the appearance of giant cargo ships is common. Even a large steamship from the Kingdom of Winter would not look out of place in such a crowded place.

"Sir, we are here."

Leonid found Rhine and woke him up.

At this time, Rhine was lying on a lounge chair, holding a cup of triple sugar sunset juice and sunbathing.

"You are at leisure."

Rosaline rubbed her forehead and looked at the Jade Pavilion floating above Liyue.

Liyue is not like Mondstadt. This country is still ruled by the God of Geo. There are gods above and the Seven Stars of Liyue below. There are also a few idle immortals in the wild.

Although the Fatui have been planning in Liyue for a long time, the results have not been ideal.

Although it won't be long before the annual "Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony" begins, the Rock God Morax will appear.

However, they were not yet fully prepared as to how to keep Him and how to obtain the Heart of God.

But when there is a lack of preparation, opportunities that come too early can be a bad thing.

If the immortal summoning ceremony doesn't work, we can only follow Master Tartaglia's method and try to summon Osel, the demon god of the whirlpool, to lure Morax.

But Rosaline was not confident enough that she could take away Morax's Heart of God after facing him.

If Rhine heard what Rosalin was thinking, he would just think that this woman was crazy.

Facing the lively Morax head-on, and taking away the Heart of God?

You've lived too long.

But Rhine didn't know what Rosaline was thinking. He only thought of one thing now.

"Should we go to Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Pavilion first?"

Madam, I'm hungry, I want to eat.

"Ask Tartaglia." Rosalin looked at Rhine with disdain.

Can you still do something serious?

The steamer finally stopped at the port. Rhine put on a cloak and a mask before getting off the ship with Rosalin.

"Long time no see, my brothers and sisters."

Tartaglia was standing at the port. When he saw the two people getting off the boat, he walked forward to greet them.

If it was just Rosaline, Tartaglia would not have come. This woman is too scheming. He is a pure warrior and cannot get along with such a person.

On the contrary, Rhine gave him a good impression when he first met him in Winter. Moreover, he is a newcomer, a newcomer who can help Tartaglia get rid of the title of "last place". It is okay to let him come to welcome him.

Tartaglia said cheerfully, "I have booked a banquet at Xinyuexuan. As long as you can use chopsticks, I guarantee you will have an unforgettable welcome banquet."

Liyue cuisine is very famous throughout Teyvat, and Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan have developed the Liyue cuisine and Yue cuisine to the extreme.

Rosalin ignored Tartaglia's enthusiasm: "It's better to hurry up and get down to business. Hmm? Why are you pushing me?"

Rosalin was a little confused when Rhine suddenly pushed her.

Rhine lowered his voice and said, "Well, I think our brother has spent a lot of effort to prepare a banquet for us, so how can we let him down?

Rosalyn, this is so wrong.

Listen to me, let's listen to Tartaglia this time and go to Xinyuexuan."

After saying that, Rhine took the initiative to hold Tartaglia's hand and shook it.

"Long time no see, Brother Ya, no, Brother Tartaglia, we have been traveling all the way and are a little tired. I didn't expect you to understand me so well."

Rosalin was somewhat helpless: "It's far from our mission..."

"What, you still want to go to Liuli Pavilion? Let's go in the evening, don't be too greedy." Rhine interrupted Rosalin.

Are you kidding? Only a fool would not eat at a free banquet.
