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

After saying goodbye to Albedo, Rhine put on his mask again and returned to the Goethe Hotel.

At this point in time, the main force of the Knights Templar should be attacking the Temple of the Four Winds and have no time to take care of him.

But it's better to be careful after all.

"Heart of God."

Rhine could have relied on violence to seize the Heart of God, but he couldn't bear to be so open-hearted to Wendy.

As for gaining Wendy's trust, tricking him into giving the Heart of God to Rhine willingly.

"We still need to think about it in the long run."

Rhine walked into Rosalind's reception room, and the cold-faced queen was checking the report given to her by her subordinates.

"Snapped."

Rhine snapped his fingers lightly, and a rose emerged from the black cube in his hand.

Against the backdrop of the black gloves, the bright red roses look delicate and juicy.

"What are you busy with?"

Rhine asked softly.

“Someone recently discovered that the Abyss Cult was suspected of targeting that beast.

There is also the Sky Harp, which is a treasure left by the God of Wind. It may still contain the power of the gods. I have sent people to look for it. The artifact may be hidden in the West Wind Cathedral. "

Rosalin put down the report and looked at the rose in Rhine's hand.

"What are you here for?"

As far as Rosalin knew, Rhine had been hiding his identity for the past two days and had been approaching the Knights of Favonius openly. Some people even saw him walking into the Knights' base camp.

I hope he doesn't do anything stupid and disrupt the plans of the Fatui.

"Someone saw the leader of the Knights Templar leaving Mondstadt at the city gate. This is a great opportunity for us to implement our plan.

The city is not well guarded, so we can directly target the owners of the Wind Elemental God's Eye and investigate their identities."

Rosalyn stated the plan in a calm tone.

Rhine raised his eyebrows and said, “It’s better to be careful when attacking Mond people in Mond City.

You should also know that I sneaked into the Knights today and found that they have other powerful forces staying in Mondstadt..."

Rhine stopped speaking, pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the withered roses in the vase, then put the flowers in his hand into the tall glass in front of Rosalin.

Rosalin looked at Rhine, her face becoming even colder. Entering the Knights' headquarters with the cavalry captain, was this called "infiltration"?

"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Rhine scratched his face with his middle finger.

"What do you mean by a strong defensive force?" Rosalyn asked in a reproachful tone.

You should tell the whole story.

"Albedo, the chief alchemist of Mondstadt, I don't know how much you know about him, but you definitely don't know his other identity - the eldest disciple of "Golden" Rhinedot."

Rhinedot was a man of the same era as the Fatui leader "Buffoon" Piero. Even before the fall of Canrea, his reputation far exceeded Piero's.

With a character like that, her disciple could never be simple.

“If you are accidentally exposed and incur the hatred of the Knights, you are the only one here who can confront them head-on.

Don't count on me either. My role is not in direct confrontation. If we encounter a fight, at most I can help you block a few fatal injuries, but I will probably hide first."

Rhine advised Rosalin.

He knew very well that beneath Rosalyn's delicate and cold face, there was a burning madness.

Rosaline's first love Rustan died in Mondstadt. Perhaps she thought that it was the inaction of the wind god that led to her lover's death.

So she hated Barbatos, and by extension Mond.

In the original plot, Rosaline, with two thunder magicians and a debt collector, dared to face one of the seven rulers of the world and seize his heart of god.

If Wendy hadn't deliberately let her win, would the power she received from the Queen really be enough to defeat the Wind God who once blew away the snow and split the mountains?

Rhine's tanking is based on the premise that everything is going well.

If Rosaline, who resents Mond, really does something wrong, Rhine, as her colleague, probably won't be able to live in peace.

"In short, I have now gained the trust of the top leaders of the Knights of Favonius. If there is any news, I will tell you the first time.

But correspondingly, you shouldn't do anything reckless, at least not so crazy.

After all, our target is the true God, and the Queen's plan cannot afford to make mistakes."

Rhine stood up, threw his cloak away, and turned to leave.

Rosalin looked at Rhine's back.

"Have they penetrated the interior?"

Unexpectedly, after just a few days, this newcomer accomplished what they had not done for a long time. As expected, those who can be favored by the Queen are not simple roles.

As if she had thought of something, Rosalin fixed her eyes on the fresh rose that Rhine had brought, with a look of resentment on her face.

The rose is bright red, and the clear crystal cup is at just the right height, as if it was made specifically for this flower. The dew on the petals looks much more crystal clear than the water in the cup.

But that was the cup she drank from.

In the "Angel's Gift" tavern, Rhine drank the apple wine in his hand.

After coming out of the Goethe Hotel, he first went to Mond Square and then to the tavern, but did not see Wendy.

"It looks like the injury is pretty serious."

When Wendy was purifying Tevarin, he was interrupted by Ying and suffered the backlash of the poisonous blood.

"Probably recuperating under the big tree in the wind."

Rhine couldn't help in clearing the poisonous blood, and he only looked for Wendy to confirm his condition.

I just didn’t expect to sit there for so long that by the time I left the pub, it was already completely dark.

"Today is also a fulfilling day..." Rhine stood in front of the tavern sign, stretched, and the windbreaker on his shoulders almost fell off.

"I don't know what happened to Ying and the others. In reality, there should be more than just a few slimes guarding the Four Winds Temple, huh? That's not right."

Rhine sniffed. The unrestrained breeze blew away the smell of alcohol near the tavern, bringing with it a burnt smell.

With the blessing of the alchemical body, Rhine's sense of smell is not as good as that of a hunting dog, but it is sensitive enough.

The smell of burning was unique, different from that of cloth or wood, and a smell that Rhine had never smelled before.

And the fire element mixed in it is a bit too pure.

At this point in time, there is indeed a unique possibility...

"Fire, burn out!"

At the edge of Mondstadt, scorching flames flashed orange and yellow light, illuminating the entire dark alley.

A man in a black robe held a huge sword in his hand, and the flames wrapped around his body roared silently, as if they were going to swallow up the endless darkness.

At the other end of the alley, the Abyss Mage lying on the ground clutched his staff tightly and tried to raise his head, as if trying to see the face of the man hidden under the mask.

The hoarse and strange voice of the Abyss Mage sounded: "It's... you again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body turned into a ball of fire and burned to ashes without even a scream.

"How interesting! I didn't expect that Mond's richest man, worth tens of billions of Mora, is also a friend of justice."

Rhine stepped out of the corner, and the clatter of his boots on the stone slabs became the only sound nearby.

The next moment, a ball of fire came roaring.

Rhine stretched out his hand and the fierce flames transformed into gentle fire snakes, which coiled around him and illuminated the familiar face of Diluk.

"Don't be so fierce, Master Diluc. I mean no harm."

Rhine waved his hands, and the fire snakes on his body dissipated.

"It's actually you."

Diluk's voice was grim.

"I'm curious, how do you know my true identity?"

Rhine spread his hands and tilted his head slightly: "Guess."

As if time had stopped, the two of them stood still in the alley.

"This isn't a good place to talk. How about we go somewhere else?"

Rhine was in a stalemate.

If no one passed by here, he doubted that Diluk could stand with him until dawn.

How come no one noticed such a huge flame?

In the end, the two left.

In the lobby of Mondstadt Winery, Diluk took off his black robe and sat on the sofa.

"Go ahead. Since you've revealed my identity, you must have something to ask of me. If the conditions you offer are suitable, I will consider it."

Although Diluk did not want to make his identity as the "Hero of Dark Night" public because he wanted to investigate the Abyss Cult alone, it would not cause him much trouble even if the whole world knew what he had done.

For Diluk, revealing Rhine's identity merely gave Rhine an opportunity to talk to him, rather than a bargaining chip to threaten him.

Besides, Diluc Leggenfond, a proud hunting owl, would never allow anyone to threaten him.

Rhine threw his body on the soft leather sofa and crossed his legs.

"If I say that I only revealed your identity on a whim, would you believe me?"

Diluk looked at him as if he was a fool. "That kind of talk doesn't work on me."

Rhine leaned back, enjoying the softness of the sofa as if it were his own home.

"Okay.

I do have something to ask you, and it's a win-win situation for both of us."
