"We're here!" Paimon raised his hand excitedly and pointed to the distant horizon. At this time, the sun was setting, and the red sunset glow made the sea surface sparkle.

“This…” Rosalin stared at the vast ocean in front of her, and a wonderful emotion surged in her heart.

"This is so beautiful!" she couldn't help but exclaimed.

The four of them walked slowly along the horizon until they came to a huge rock and stopped. The sea water flowed with the waves, hitting the rock again and again, making waves.

On the boulder, a crude fishing rod still stood firmly.

"Hey, Paimon, do you still remember this?" Ying raised the fishing rod with a wicked smile on his face.

"Although it's a bit crude and I didn't catch many fish, I did catch a little Paimon~"

Hearing this, Paimon snorted and turned away proudly, indicating that she would ignore you if there was no delicious food.

"So Paimon was fished out?" Rosaline asked, trying hard to suppress her smile.

"No...no!" Paimeng retorted angrily, her little face flushed red, as if she had suffered great injustice.

"I was just too tired and didn't notice that I fell into the water. Ying, you are too much..."

Seeing Paimon's cute and stubborn look, everyone couldn't help but laugh. However, Qianyu knew that this was not the time to laugh. He patted Paimon's head gently and comforted him with a smile:

"Okay, don't be angry, little Paimon. Time is running out, so let's split up and look for clues." After saying that, his eyes slowly swept over everyone.

Paimon seemed to want to argue a few more words, but when she met Qianyu's firm eyes, the dissatisfaction in her heart instantly dissipated. She bit her lip and nodded to show her agreement.

Qianyu took a deep breath and continued, "In that case, let's act immediately. Perhaps this is really our last chance." There was a hint of determination in his voice, which moved people.

Hearing this, Paimeng's heart suddenly tightened. So, she hurriedly urged: "Then let's split up and look for it quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, the four of them quickly took action.

Ying and Paimon were in charge of searching the beach, carefully searching for the soft sand, while Qianyu went to the horizon with Rosaline, hoping to find some clues on the vast sea.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, four figures gradually walked away.

After a long time.

"How could this happen, Ying? We have already run along the beach three times. Maybe we are in the wrong place." Paimon complained.

"It shouldn't be. I always feel that Fenghua won't appear so easily." Ying analyzed, and suddenly her eyes looked towards the sea level.

"What's wrong, Ying? Did you find something?" Paimon asked. She followed Ying's gaze and found that Rosaline was squatting on a rock by the sea.

"Let's go take a look, Paimon." They walked towards Rosaline.

At this moment, the sun sets, and some clouds are floating in the sky like clouds. They block the afterglow of the sunset, but bloom with colorful light under the dusk, as if a colorful picture scroll is presented before people's eyes.

Rosalin stood quietly, gazing at the extremely romantic scenery before her, her thoughts involuntarily drifting back to a hundred years ago.

At that time, a figure always lingered in her mind, making her feel endless longing and melancholy. And now, this feeling came back to her heart again.

"Rosaline?" Ying walked quietly to her side and patted her shoulder gently. Rosaline turned around slowly, with a look of loss and sadness in her eyes.

"Ruth...Oh, it's you..." Rosalyn's voice was slightly low, and seemed to carry an unspeakable pain.

Paimon noticed Rosaline's mood change and asked with concern: "Rosaline, why do you seem a little sad? Did something happen to you?"

Hearing Paimon's question, Rosaline's face became a little hesitant. She clenched her fists tightly, as if trying to restrain her inner emotional fluctuations.

"This..." Rosalin hesitated to speak, with a complicated look in her eyes.

At this time, Ying held Rosalin's hand and said gently, "Just tell us what's wrong. As friends, we are willing to share your burden."

Rosalin nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Actually... I don't belong to this timeline."

In an instant, Ying and Paimeng were stunned, as if they were hit by a bolt from the blue, and stood there in a daze.

"Not belonging to this timeline? What does that mean?" Paimon was the first to come back to his senses, blinking his big eyes and asking in confusion.

Rosalin smiled bitterly and explained softly, "If calculated according to the life span of ordinary people, I have actually been dead for hundreds of years."

"Huh?! That means you are hundreds of years old? This...how is this possible!" Paimon was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, his little face full of disbelief.

Hearing this, Rosalyn agreed.

"Have you heard about the disaster that happened in Mond five hundred years ago?" She suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.

"Yes, Captain Qin told us about it when we were in the Knights Templar." Ying recalled the story she heard at that time and answered slowly.

Rosalin's eyes flashed with pain, and her voice became a little low: "I... personally experienced that disaster. Countless monsters flew all over the sky, and the dark disaster almost destroyed everything in front of me..."

She paused and continued, "Before the disaster broke out, he and I made a vow. But I never thought... that he would not survive the disaster." At this point, Rosalyn's voice began to tremble. She looked at the sunset, and her eyes gradually became moist.

"Who is 'he'?" Paimon asked curiously, blinking his big eyes.

Rosalin's eyes were somewhat sad, and she replied softly, "His name is Rustan, and he was once the vice-captain of the Knights of Favonius. To me, he is a very important person."

She seemed to be lost in her memories, her voice becoming a little low: "At that time, I didn't know his true identity. If I had realized this earlier, perhaps everything would have been different... Maybe he wouldn't have been on the front line of that disaster..."

Paimon opened his mouth in surprise: "So he is Rustan, the hero that Captain Jean mentioned?!"

Rosalyn smiled bitterly, tears flashing in her eyes.

"That guy always likes to act strong in front of me, but in fact he bears everything silently..." Her tone was full of helplessness and emotion.

Ying gently patted Rosalin's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be too sad, Rosalin. He must have his reasons and difficulties for doing this. After all, as the vice-captain of the Knights Templar, he shoulders the responsibility and mission to protect everyone."

"Yes, I have comforted myself in this way countless times at that time. However, when I arrived at the battlefield and heard the tragic news that he was seriously injured, I still couldn't resist the surging emotions in my heart.

I will never forget that moment, he lay in my arms, dying, blood gushing out of his mouth, until he finally took his last breath...

In that endless sorrow, I felt as if my body was burning in a raging flame, but these physical pains were insignificant compared to the grief deep in my heart.

The flames in the sky were like dancing moths, they surrounded me and gradually merged into my body. Just when I was about to be swallowed up by the sea of ​​fire, my mentor, Barbiros, saved me. She was one of the eight witches of Mondstadt, and everyone used B as her code name.

In the long years that have passed, she took me in when I was alone and helpless, and taught me the secret of how to control this powerful flame." After saying this, Rosalin's fingertips began to slowly gather fire elements, and in a moment, they turned into two or three small and exquisite moths.

"A few days ago, my master suddenly told me: 'You should go back to Mondstadt. Perhaps there, you will meet someone who can change your destiny.' Although I was a little confused, I always believed in my master's words. So, I embarked on a journey to Mondstadt.

As I strolled through this familiar yet unfamiliar city, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in my heart.

That day, I was sitting by the fountain where Rustam and I first met, and I met you guys who came to chat with me. "

"Maybe you are the one who changes my destiny." Rosalyn said with a smile, with a look of relief on her face.

"Thank you. I haven't been as happy as I am today in a long time in the past hundred years."

Hearing Rosaline's words, Paimon shouted in surprise: "It turns out that Rosaline is another hero of the dark night!" There was a light of sudden enlightenment in her eyes, as if she understood everything at that moment.

"'Hero of the Dark Night'? Haha, I didn't expect those people would give me such a title." Rosalyn couldn't help laughing out loud, but there was a hint of bitterness in her laughter.

She shook her head slightly, as if trying to get rid of this strange title from her mind. Then, she looked out along the horizon again, her eyes revealing a deep thought.

“I think I understand now why you are so selfless, Rustam,” Rosalyn said softly, thinking back to the days she had spent with Rustam and his unwavering determination to protect others.

"I will use my strength and your will to protect Mondstadt with you." Rosaline's tone became unusually firm, as if she was making a promise to someone far away.

However, at this moment, Rosalin suddenly turned her head and her eyes fell on Ying, with a hint of curiosity and doubt in her eyes.

"Ying, if one day, the person who occupies an extremely important position in your heart suddenly leaves you and disappears from your life, will you feel sad?"

"Maybe..." Ying spoke silently, her eyes were a little confused, but full of nostalgia for the past and determination for the future. Her mind began to emerge with the adventures she had experienced with her brother in various worlds, and every scene was so clear, as if it happened yesterday.

"But no matter what, I will find him, even if I have to travel all over the world." Ying's voice became more determined, and she clenched her fists tightly, as if she was swearing to herself. This was not just a simple statement, but also her deep belief and motivation.

"This is the meaning of my journey," she said softly, with a twinkle in her eye.

Hearing these words, Rosalin fell into deep thought. She originally thought that Ying was just an ordinary traveler, but now she understood that Ying had such great strength and determination in her heart.

"So that's how it is..." Rosalin murmured to herself, her expression becoming a little complicated.

Suddenly, Rosalin realized that they had been talking for so long that they had forgotten the original purpose of looking for Fenghua.

"Oh, we've been chatting for so long that we even forgot about looking for Fenghua!" Rosalin exclaimed, with a hint of apology on her face.

"I'm sorry, Paimon." She looked at Paimon guiltily.

"It's okay, Rosaline. Seeing you can resolve the knot in your heart makes me happier than eating sweet flower-stuffed chicken!" Paimon smiled understandingly.

"I didn't expect that Paimon's mind is full of food!" Ying said jokingly.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Paimon immediately retorted, "I am very smart, okay!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind them: "Haha, it seems you guys are having a great chat!"

Everyone looked back and saw Qianyu standing there with a gentle smile on his face.

"Qianyu? When did you ..."

"Have you been listening from behind the scenes the whole time?!" Paimon shouted in surprise.

"Hehe, since you were squatting here." Qianyu replied with a chuckle.

When Rosalin heard this, her cheeks instantly turned red, and a strong feeling of shyness surged in her heart.

At this moment, Qianyu pointed to a stone beside them, where a pure white and innocent wind flower emitting a faint fragrance was standing quietly.

Ying looked at Fenghua with some surprise.

"There was absolutely no sign at all, it was like it appeared out of thin air..."

"Okay, let's go back before it gets dark," Qianyu suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement, then stood up and walked in the direction they came from.

However, they did not notice that on the high cliff next to the beach, there was a blond figure watching all this silently.

"So, you are one of the sinners just like me, Diekarapian."

Holding the Sage's Book in her hand, Golden Reindort's eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions as she whispered to herself. It was as if at this moment, she saw her former self, the one who also carried a sinful past...
