Jiang Bai added a few pieces of firewood to it to make the fire burn more vigorously.

He thought he would be able to see a picture of himself, but he didn't.

It may be that he came here later than the fall of the ancient kingdom, or it may be that his deeds have not been recorded.

Or maybe he's just an inconsequential member of the list and doesn't deserve to be recorded.

In short, there are so many possibilities.

Only, how did he fall into the river?

Yes, he was now almost certain that he had been frozen in ice.

Although he didn't know how he was frozen or how he appeared in that hilichurl tribe, it was undoubtedly a definite fact that he had been frozen before.

I just don't know if it's really frozen in the hilichurl tribe as he thought.

Or somewhere else.

But how did he fall?

Because the ice broke by chance? Or did something happen that he didn't know about, causing the ice to break?

Or is it just a crack in the ice?

……

Longcrest Snow Mountain foothill camp.

The people gathered in the camp at this moment were all talking about the explosion that had just occurred on the top of the mountain.

Many of them have been here for decades and have even built houses nearby, but nothing like this has ever been seen before.

Not to mention that there are no known people who have been able to reach the top of the mountain, and secondly, they do not know the situation at the top of the mountain, let alone how such a large explosion occurred.

Was it man-made, or was it accidental?

Or is it the effect of some kind of monster?

The people in the camp looked uneasy and talked a lot.

Wen Yuan was also one of the restless camp people.

He is an intelligence officer directly under Yelan and is Yelan's subordinate.

On the order of Yelan, he came to the Snow Mountain to investigate the situation related to Jiang Bai.

Yelan guesses that Jiang Bai emerged from the Snow Mountain, most likely frozen in the ice, and later accidentally fell into the underground river, following the water all the way to Liyue.

It's just that there is always a reason for everything, and the intelligence officers' intuition tells them that Jiang Bai's falling into the water from the ice is definitely not accidental, and something may have happened in it, which caused the ice that froze Jiang Bai to fall into the water.

So he's been in this camp all this time, trying to find some insiders who can provide clues.

He did sort out some useful information from the mess.

For example, almost a month and a half ago, there was a small avalanche somewhere in the snowy mountains, and there was a loud noise nearby, and someone later checked and found that it was caused by the ice subsidence.

He tried to confirm it around there, hoping to find some clues.

However, the avalanche that happened a month and a half ago completely buried the vicinity, and even if there were clues, it was hidden under the snowdrifts.

For example, at about the same time, an adventurer discovered that there was a group of hilichurls in the cave of the snowy mountain that was not normal, and was a little too irritable than usual.

But this information is only based on the personal feelings of the adventurer, and it is of little reference value.

Another example is one adventurer who said that he saw a blond-haired man sitting on the body of a ruin guard during that time, as if he could control the ruin guard.

But he only saw it, and when he rubbed his eyes, there was no one on the ruin guards, only the ruins guards who had already spotted him and were ready to attack him.

He thought he was too cold and hallucinated, and told the story as a self-deprecating joke.

These are all pieces of information that we got some time ago.

Recently, there are relatively few things related to the snow mountain, but it may have something to do with the explosion of the snow mountain this time.

There is a well-known adventurer [Katis] in the camp's snow-capped mountain explorer circle who went up the mountain some time ago to challenge climbing to the top of the mountain.

Two days ago, there were people from the Order who went up the mountain, and today there was an explosion on the mountain.

Wen Yuan speculated that the explosion might have something to do with Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius.

They may be conducting some kind of experiment on the top of a mountain, or they may be dealing with some dangerous monster.

While this may involve Mondstadt's secrets, the Dragoncrest Snow Mountain, as a border with Liyue, must investigate for Liyue's safety.

And the priority of the investigation is higher than the investigation of Jiang Bai's origin.

He wrote a letter, and the pigeon brought the news back to Liyue Harbor.

After that, he packed his bags and prepared to go up the mountain to see what was going on.

There are also many adventurers who are curious about what is happening at the top of the mountain, and it is not unreasonable to walk with them.

Hillside.

By this time, the avalanche had completely stopped, and after making sure that the avalanche would not continue to occur, Kaeya set off towards the top of the mountain.

Although he was also involved in the explosion, the outcome would have to wait until he went up to see it.

】

He hadn't gone far when he heard an explosion coming from the top of the hill again.

This explosion was different from the previous violent explosion, more like the small dumb firecrackers in a large roll of firecrackers were rekindled.

It's not very powerful, and it's not hurtful enough.

Kaeya stopped and looked up at the snow on the mountain wall.

Originally, the mountain wall was covered with a thick layer of snow, but after an avalanche, only a thin layer of snow remained on the mountain wall.

This thin layer is no longer enough to form another avalanche.

After confirming that nothing would happen again, he moved on.

At this point, Klee is throwing a bomb at the shattered Nail of the Frost.

When it comes to frying nails again, it means blowing nails again, and it doesn't contain lakes at all.

She pursed her lips and tried to make a vicious appearance.

However, her eyes are too round, and even if she tries to make them look fierce, she still doesn't feel fierce, but rather cute.

Albedo stood by in case Klee was in danger.

Even if there are no monsters in the vicinity that can pose danger to Klee, that doesn't mean there is no danger.

Exploding shrapnel, blown up ice cubes, these are all things that can cause danger.

Klee threw bombs one bomb after another, and although these bombs were powerful, they were not as powerful as the huge amount of gunpowder that detonated directly, and they did not have much impact on these broken stone pillars after all.

At most, it is to completely crack a few pieces that have cracks on them.

It wasn't until Klee was tired of throwing bombs that Albedo patted her on the head and picked her up.

Leaning into Albedo's arms, Klee looked aggrieved.

The bomb, which has always been invincible, has encountered a setback in this nail of the cold sky.

"Klee's bomb didn't work......"

"How could Klee's bomb be useless? It was all Klee's bombs that allowed us to blow this big nail to pieces. ”

Albedo spoke softly and affirmed the role of the bomb.

"That's different......" Klee pouted and shook her head.

It was gunpowder that smashed the big nails, not the bomb she had researched.

"And when we get home and work on more powerful bombs?"

"Hmmm! Klee needs to research more powerful bombs! ”
