Troffen Schneitzvich is an orphan from the land of ice and snow, an orphan of the House of Fireplaces.

He had been ordered to come to Sumeru a few years ago and be ordered to capture the legendary creature, Ranara.

After establishing that there was a Lanara living near Vimo Village, he lived here.

He stayed under the guise of being injured and amnesia, and gave himself the name Alfonso.

As time passed, he gradually integrated into the place, liked the environment, and unconsciously fell in love with the resolute and brave forest ranger Lana.

However, the objectives of his mission have never progressed.

He has gathered too much intel about Lannaro over the years.

If it weren't for the existence of this information, he would have thought that Lannaro was just a legendary creature, active only in children's fairy tales.

But all these years of exploration have taught him that Lannaro is real.

It's just that he can't see that creature.

These elves who live in the forest seem to be able to sense malice, and he has tried several times to capture them, but to no avail.

As the mission lengthened, the measures given by the letter above became more and more intense, and if he didn't make any more achievements, he would soon be replaced and abandoned.

He was a child without blood relatives, a lowly servant of Mingwei.

In his left hand, he holds a shield to defend his homeland, and in his right hand, he holds aloft the sword that acts for the Solstice Pole.

This is his belief, in order to practice the will of the Ice Empress, he will not regret his death!

Between faith and the children who already got along with him, he chose the former.

He lured the children of Vimo into the forest, trying to capture Lanara.

The first, the second, the third......

He sent the children to a heavily guarded camp, but Lannaro was always able to rescue them without even knowing it, and even the children who returned shortly after their disappearance did not even remember this memory.

I don't remember how he tricked them into the forest.

Alfonso was suffering from the condemnation and guilt of his heart, and at the same time anxious about the task.

He had not received any letters urging him lately, as if he had been abandoned.

He didn't know what to do anymore......

At night, as he walked aimlessly through Vimo, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something familiar on a windowsill.

It was so familiar, he had seen it in the materials I don't know how many times.

Lannara!

It's actually Lanara!

The lights on the road weren't bright, but they reflected the clear outline of Lannaro.

This sudden appearance of Lannaro may be his last chance.

Alfonso's heart was beating fast, and he carefully ducked into the shadows to avoid being spotted by the Lannaro.

He had to make sure that he captured the Lannaro.

Taking out the net bag he was carrying, he carefully touched the bottom of the windowsill and covered it with lightning speed.

The net was heavy, and the Lannaro inside was motionless, and Alfonso picked it up to see what Lannaro was, just a stone sculpture made in the shape of Lannaro.

As big as the expectations, there are as many disappointments as there are. He angrily tried to throw the Lannaro stone, but the window above his head snapped open.

A white-haired head poked out.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Bai frowned and looked at this sneaky person with a net, this posture was to take the Lannaro stone carving he placed on the windowsill as real?

Cold sweat flowed from the corners of Alfonso's forehead, but he was not flustered after being trained.

He scratched his head and put the stone sculpture back.

"Ah, I thought it was a strange creature on the windowsill, but it turned out to be just a stone sculpture......"

There was a warm yellow light in the window, and Jiang Bai could see the person's appearance clearly.

The bridge of the nose is high, the eye sockets are deep, and although he is wearing a Sumeru outfit, he does not look like a Sumeru person, but like a solstice person who has lived in a cold environment for a long time.

Jiang Bai glanced at his net, "Have you ever seen this creature?" ”

"Nope." Alfonso's eyes flashed, and he shook his head neatly.

Jiang Bai smiled at the corner of his mouth, "But I've seen it." ”

"Hmm!"

Alfonso looked at him instantly.

Seeing Lanara, is it really fake?

But if you haven't really seen it, how did this stone sculpture come about?

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Jiang Bai opened the door.

Alfonso hesitated for a moment, but finally walked in.

This is probably his last expectation to complete his mission.

In the room, Hu Tao was lying on a chaise longue with a blanket on his body and tea and snacks at hand.

She was holding a book in her hand, and as she read it, she couldn't help but close her eyelids.

Seeing that a guest was coming, she immediately put down the hypnotic book, and she was completely sleepy.

Jiang Bai invited him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

"This gentleman, can you introduce yourself?"

Hu Tao came over with a blanket and sat on the sofa next to him.

She naturally knew about the movement by the window just now, but Jiang Bai went to see it, so she naturally didn't need to look at it again.

She's going to see the excitement now.

Alfonso pursed his lips and didn't drink his tea.

"My name is Alfonso, and I usually do a little business in the village."

"That's it?"

"Hmm......" Alfonso lowered his head, but then he raised his head sharply again and stared at Jiang Bai.

"Have you really seen Rannara?"

"Yes, I made that stone sculpture in the image of Lannaro."

Jiang Bai picked up the tea, blew the hot air in the water, and took a sip gently.

"Mr. Alfonso, if I'm not mistaken, you must be the Solstice. More accurately, the Fatui, right? ”

Jiang Bai held the teacup and broke his identity lightly, not caring at all about the other party's tense muscles in an instant.

"Who are you?"

Alfonso brushed away from his chair, even pulling out his weapon.

From such vigorous skills, it can be seen that he decided that he is not an ordinary person.

"Don't be so nervous. I am a friend of your Sixth Balladeer. ”

"Balladeer-sama's friend?"

Alfonso wasn't sure.

Legend has it that the Sixth Balladeer was temperamental, and it was not a good job to work under him.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. But do you think you can beat the two of us alone? ”

Jiang Bai clasped his hands together, obviously without any dangerous movements, but it gave Alfonso an indescribable sense of crisis.

Alfonso's gaze swept over the visions of the two of them, and he finally put away his weapons and sat down again.

He is not bad, otherwise he would not have been sent to Sumeru alone to carry out this mission.

But he didn't think he could defeat the two Vision wielders, and even if he relied on the Evil Eye, he wouldn't have much chance of winning.
