[After reading the mural, my heart is heavy. I don't know if there's a mural in the back, I hope there is, but the road has come to an end, I'm running out of food, I'm running out of torches, it's time for me to go out. 】

[On June 13th, it was already the thirteenth when I returned to the camp at the bottom of the mountain, and before I knew it, I had been on the snowy mountain for so many days. Even though it's been a while since I saw the mural, my heart is still quite heavy. 】

[What did that ancient country do that caused the sky to rain punishment?] What kind of punishment makes this place a world of ice and snow? Will Mondstadt one day experience such a change?

No, it won't! Lord Barbatos will not sit idly by! 】

[October 21. It's been a few months since I last left the snowy mountains, and I still can't rest assured about the mural. I was desperate to know what the punishment from the sky was. I looked through the diary of that senior, and the senior was in the same mood as me. 】

[On October 25th, I came to the snowy mountain again, this time I stayed in the snowy mountain for half a month, and found nothing except a few frozen wild boars. 】

[On November 28, York said that he had found a cell in the snowy mountains, where it was said that the old nobles of Mondstadt had been imprisoned, and I was not interested. 】

[On January 17th, I discovered a place with strange terrain. It took me half a month to crack the mechanism, and when the mechanism was opened, the ground sank, revealing a hole in the frozen area.

I jumped down in delight, only to find out that there was a powerful monster living inside, and I almost died in it. 】

[On March 8, I discovered a huge cave inside the snowy mountain. It's big inside, but it's also quite dangerous, and from time to time icicles fall from above. The hilichurls seem to have been living in the cave, and they don't know how long they've been here......]

[March 10. I followed the path in the cave all the way up, trying to reach the highest point of the snow-capped mountain, but even when I came out of the highest exit, it was only halfway up the mountain. How do I get to the top of the mountain? 】

Install the latest version. 】

[May 15th.] I was going to climb all the way up the snow-capped mountain until I reached the highest point of the snow-capped mountain, for which I prepared for a month. 】

[On May 18th, I failed. The higher I went, the worse the visibility, and in the wind and snow, my limbs were stiff and I couldn't see anything but snow. Even because of the cold, he fell down the mountainside, but fortunately he was rescued, so he was saved from freezing to death. 】

[On November 9th, I cultivated for more than half a year. After I was ready, I tried to fly all the way from the top of the snowy mountain, but I couldn't find a place higher than the snowy mountain nearby. 】

[On March 26, I entered the snowy mountain again. I found that there are many more Fool camps in the Snow Mountain, but fortunately, these people generally don't shoot at the adventurers passing by, and I don't know what these Fools are doing in the Snow Mountain......]

[January 1. Another year has passed, and my doubts are still unanswered, and I still can't find any way to the top of the mountain. From time to time, I flipped through the diaries left by my predecessors, trying to find some useful clues. 】

[On January 12th, I learned what kind of tree they were sacrificing to, it turned out to be a leyline tree, but what exactly is the purpose of the leyline tree? 】

[On January 15th, I picked up an icy tiara, which was quite old, resembling a bundled white branch made of metal. Because it is frozen in ice, it still retains its original appearance. I took it to my scholar friends. 】

[February 18th.] My scholar friend told me that this crown is called the Ice Sacrifice Crown, which should have been worn by the previous rituals, and it is quite old and has very high research value. 】

[On March 20, I continued to search along the place where I picked up the tiara, and I found a stone tablet. A few short sentences are engraved on the stone tablet that the country was once the capital here.

"Far from the snow and strife, and arrived at the verdant land of paradise, he erected this monument, and set up his capital here, and named it Charles Finddenier."

I finally learned the name of this ancient country that was covered in ice and dust, and it may be older than I thought. 】

[On March 29th, I returned to Mondstadt to research some materials and refreshed some history of Mondstadt. The country called Findneld was a long time ago, even older than the founding of Mondstadt. 】

[Back in the days of the Demon Wars, when the land of Mondstadt was completely unsuitable for human life, and the people of Mondstadt were imprisoned within high walls by a tyrant, the snow-capped mountains were completely different from the land of Mondstadt, a paradise without ice and snow.

Later, Lord Barbatos, the god of wind, led the people of Mondstadt to overthrow the tyrant's rule, blow away the wind and snow, and establish the free city-state of Mondstadt.

And that verdant kingdom was finally covered with ice and snow because of the punishment that fell from the sky......]

Katis flipped through his diary as he poured the boiling hot water into the thermos.

Before you know it, this snow-capped mountain already has his footprints everywhere.

He looked out at the darkness outside the cave and the white snowflakes falling in the air, and after a long time, he exhaled a hot breath and flipped the notebook to the latest page, and began to write on it with his somewhat frozen fingers.

[October 13th.] This should be my last visit to Snow Mountain.

My health is not good anymore, my past adventures have left me with a lot of pain, my knees start to ache as soon as the cold weather arrives, and my heart for adventure is not as determined as it was at the beginning.

I knew that if I didn't set out again, I might not have the courage to go up again.

I don't know if I'll be able to climb to the top of the mountain this time, but I really want to know what it's like on the top......

What is the punishment that comes down from the sky? Can the question that has plagued me for so many years be answered this time?

Unfortunately, too much time has passed, and there is no material left of this ancient country that was once covered in snow except for the murals, and I don't even know what time period they existed.

However, one thing is certain, before the demon dragon ravaged Mengde, this was already a snow-capped mountain.

Perhaps, this state existed before Mende was founded?

However, after so long, the remains of the demon dragon Du Ling have turned into dry bones, and there should be no trace of the punishment from the sky......]

Kartis jotted down his scattered thoughts, leaving no detail unobtrusive.

Just as he once picked up the diaries of his predecessors and learned the stories of this dusty ancient country in the snowy mountains, one day, his diary will also guide others in the way.
