Chapter 134: A message from the ruin guards
As the cavalry captain of the Knights, Kaeya has a certain amount of credibility in his own right, and Mondstadt knows him well. He was also able to disperse the adventurers in this neighborhood in the name of the Knights, which was better than him and Jiang Bai.
"3 p.m. should be enough for us to fully plant the bombs, and we'll detonate them at this point, and you have to make sure that no one comes here during this time."
"No problem."
Kaeya gladly agreed.
It's getting a little dark now, but it's not dark yet.
Until tomorrow, this time is all his own.
He turned his head to look at the huge cold nail, and his eyes seemed to burn with a scorching flame in the reflection of the fire.
The plan was set, and several people rested.
After climbing the snowy mountain for a day, even if the physical strength is good, you need to rest at this time.
Jiang Bai baked his big peaches, which were a little wet because of the snow, and prepared to teleport along the anchor point one by one later, to see if he could find the walnut.
Albedo was preparing dinner for them, and Klee sat and drooled.
In order to reduce the influence of the chaotic leylines, Katis sleeps in his journal and does not appear unless someone calls him.
Only Kaeya walked in front of the Frosty Spike after her body warmed up.
He looked up at the huge nails, his expression full of complexity.
Although he is the cavalry captain of the Knights of Mondstadt Favonius, he has another layer of identity - the last descendant of the ancient kingdom of Kanria.
Kanria, a country that was destroyed five hundred years ago and disappeared into history.
Few people know about their existence now, and very few people mention their names.
But the ruins that are guarded throughout the continent of Teyvat all originate from the once prosperous country of Zi.
The history of this country is no longer known, except that it is hidden deep underground, a land ruled by gods.
Kaeya doesn't have many memories of Kanria, having arrived in Mondstadt when he was still a child, and all his memories of Kanria come from his father's teachings.

The huge Frosty Nail in front of him came from the sky, and Kanria also died under the sky.
He looked up at the sky, and under the layers of clouds, he seemed to see the island of floating people in the sky.
Her name is [Tianli], and she looks at the land.
He looked up for a few moments, until his neck was sore, and then he lowered his head.
He didn't touch the Frosty Spike, but paced around slowly, trying to spot something.
This is by no means a nail of cold weather that fell for no reason, there must be something special about this snow-capped mountain.
As far as he knew, there was an ancient kingdom in this snow-capped mountain, and then the ancient kingdom was destroyed.
He didn't know how the ancient kingdom had fallen, but now he was about to answer.
It was the spikes that fell from the sky that nailed the country and brought it to ruin under the wind and snow.
This is similar to what happened to Kanriya, the difference is only that what is falling is different.
But what did this country do to cause such punishment from the sky?
He walked around on the top of the mountain, looked around, and soon found the ruin guard who had been knocked down by Jiang Bai and covered in snow.
The relic guard was paralyzed and unable to move, but its core still flickered and made sounds of unknown significance.
Kaeya swept the snow off the ruin's guard, revealing the dark core.
Without the snow blocking it, the sound became clear.
After listening for a moment, Kaeya looked surprised.
The ruin guard was sending a string of messages, using a unique section of Kanria's encryption that he had just learned.
After deciphering it, he got a string of texts.
[For the sake of the country, we cannot give up this heavenly power, but we have failed. 】
The power of the heavens?
Failed?
Does this convey refer to this ancient country, or does it refer to Kanria?
The decipherment made Kaeya more confused and more questions.
He stood up and continued on his way until he reached the highest point of the snow-capped mountain, which was once known as the closest point to the sky.
By this time, the closest point to the sky had long since been broken, and only half of the altar had been built, and the other half was covered in thick snow.
Standing here, the whole snow-capped mountain comes into view.
At this time, the sun had just disappeared into the mountains, and the snow-capped mountains rarely showed a clear sky.
He stood here, staring at the sky, his eyes swelling with inexplicable emotions until the sky was covered with night.
……
Jiang Bai nibbled on the roast snow rabbit made by Albedo, and his mouth was full of oil.
Albedo's craftsmanship is quite good, especially the barbecue skills, which are superb.
"That's good! Albedo, you're good at barbecue! ”
"I used to barbecue a lot." Albedo chuckled and talked about his previous experience.
"When I was doing experiments with my master, I often encountered a large spider under the petrified ancient tree, although this spider did not look good, but the meat was extremely delicious.
"I will tie it tightly with gardenia and citronella, and then smear it with white cardamom and smoke it for a few hours, and the taste is several times more beautiful than this snow rabbit......
As he spoke, Albedo missed the smell of the spider a little.
Jiang Bai thought back to the appearance of the spider, and after confirming that the spider here was the same species as the spider in his impression, he sent out deep doubts.
"Can spiders eat it?"
Can a creature with hair all over its body and no meat or two on its legs actually roast and eat it?
Jiang Bai didn't understand.
"The spider is huge, one bigger than Klee......" Albedo gestured to Klee's size.
Klee sucked her saliva, "Big spider, roast and eat ......"
She remembered that there were a few web-covered spiders in the attic, and when she got back, she caught them and let Brother Albedo roast them!
Kaeya walked back, a somewhat cynical smile on his face again.
"Looks like I came back too late and didn't make it to dinner."
"Well, I've got one for you."
Albedo roasted four snow rabbits, one for each of them.
Kaeya picked up the snow rabbit and took a bite, sighing, "If only there was a cup of [Death in the Afternoon] at this time......"
Wine and barbecue are paired.
However, the conditions here were very poor, and there was no wine he wanted to drink.
Jiang Bai, who was well-fed, burped contentedly, wrapped the torn rabbit leg in oiled paper, and put it into his clothes to avoid it from cooling.
He had left it behind to give Hu Tao a taste.
As an excellent little brother, there are good things that must not be forgotten by the master of his own hall.
"I'll go out to find our hall master, she should also be in the snow mountain."
After saying hello to them, Jiang Bai walked towards the teleportation anchor point.
