The North, a land shrouded in wind and snow,

Among the Knights of Favonius Quarters,

After a long journey, the last warriors of the Lawrence family also arrived here.

The wind and frost along the way made these soldiers seem particularly indifferent.

However, the Knights of Favonius were still human, and at least they were provided with food and shelter.

In the main tent,

Falga put down the handwritten letter of the piano, and a trace of surprise appeared on her heroic face: "Hahahaha, that little guy Eula, can actually do this level, it's really admirable." ”

In the letter, Jean explained to Falgar about Eula's rule of the Lawrence family,

It was also said that these Lawrence warriors were sent by the Lawrence family 'on their own initiative', hoping that the Grand Master could accept them, at least not let them all die in battle.

The warriors of the Lawrence family may not necessarily be accepted by the expeditionary force.

If these people are scattered and assigned to the expeditionary force, it won't be long before these people will die in the confrontation with the extraterritorial monsters.

Jean's request is probably to ask Falgar not to break up the Lawrence warriors and let them act together to improve their survival rate.

"It's a nuisance, Grand Master." Simon said without hesitation.

As bishop of the Church of Zephyr, he knew how hostile the people of Mondstadt were to the name Lawrence.

Even the soldiers of the expeditionary force could not face these Lawrence warriors calmly.

"Simon, no matter what, the Lawrence family has apologized and shown sincerity, and now is the time for us to show sincerity." Falgar was not a complete force faction, and his political skills were not weak, otherwise he would not have been able to organize this expedition.

"What do you want to do?" The tall female knight asked.

"Don't worry, Fredrica." Falgar replied, then took out the map and examined it.

After a while, Falgar pointed to the map: "Give this place to the warriors of the Lawrence family, if you want to be forgiven, then make an appearance first, and let them participate in the patrol first." ”

Fredrica and Simon glanced at the place Falgar pointed out, a small pass, part of the outer defense.

"That's fine, even if they lose, it won't affect the defense too much." Simon nodded.

A small pass in the outer defense line will not have much impact if it is lost, and the defense line in the rear can quickly react and defend against the enemy.

"Well, if they can hold on, they can naturally gradually change everyone's impression of them, just like Eula's little guy, isn't she recognized by everyone with practical actions."

Falga said heroically.

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, how much you say is false, only what you really do is convincing.

meanwhile

Lawrence Temporary Camp,

Several Lawrence leaders got together to discuss their futures.

"Falgar is not hostile to us, but the Cardinal of Dawn does not seem to like us very much."

"Normally, there is no one in the Church of Zephyr who likes us, as long as he doesn't embarrass us, we don't have to care about his eyes."

"Miss Eula... Patriarch Eula told us to just follow Falga's orders, and we don't need to worry about anything else. ”

"Will he send us to our deaths?"

"Although I don't like the Knights, Falga is not that kind of person, and besides, our mission is to atone for our sins, even if we are sent to death, we will die a heroic death."

As soon as these words came out, the tent fell silent.

Yes, the purpose of their trip is to 'seek death'.

After a slight silence, someone raised his head: "For the glory of Lawrence!" ”

Others responded: "For the glory of Lawrence!" ”

The atmosphere in the tent eased slightly, and everyone chatted again.

"By the way, is that thing going to be handed over to Falga?" One Lawrence asked.

"We were commissioned to bring things here, but we didn't say they were going to give it to Farga." Lawrence, who was in the lead, said, and then took out the positioning crystallization of Wang Daoyi from his arms.

"The patriarch said that this thing seems to be related to a god."

"God, it's incredible, do you want to crush it?" Someone asked.

They were commissioned to bring the crystal to the land of the expeditionary force and then crush the crystal.

Lawrence, the leader, hesitated for a moment, but finally let go of his hand: "Wait, wait until Falga assigns us a task and sets the camp independently." ”

He was worried about what kind of vision would happen if the crystals were crushed,

The Lawrence family is already a walking problem in the eyes of the people of Mondstadt.

If you create any vision, maybe your own people will be even more ostracized.

It's not too late to settle down first, and then to deal with crystallization.

Anyway, the commission didn't say that it was going to be crushed immediately.

The others also understood the leader's concern, and nodded their heads, thinking that it was better to be safe.

What they didn't know, of course, was that when they brought the crystals here,

Wang Daoyi on the other end had already sensed it.

Crushing crystals is to take the initiative to summon the royal road to come,

And even if they don't crush the crystals, Wang Daoyi can also use the crystals as coordinates to forcibly open the leyline passage and descend here.

Of course, they are not in a hurry, and Wang Daoyi is not in a hurry.

Great Red Sand Sea, Rich Oasis, Red Sand Headquarters,

Three hundred terrifying Holy Relic Warriors, as well as three thousand Red Sand Elites with a bloody aura, were gathered here.

They are all warriors who have been pioneering outside,

Since the establishment of Chisha, their battle has not stopped,

Remote deserts, deep underground ruins, they are always fighting.

Now, they are called to gather here.

These elite warriors with sharp blades stood on the tribal training ground, attracting a large number of onlookers from the desert.

Even the caravans from outside will inevitably take a few more looks.

Many people speculate whether Chisha is about to make a big move again.

Even the warriors themselves were speculating about the purpose of the Lord of the Red Sands summoning them.

"Is my god going to sweep away the rocky desert at once?" Someone speculated.

"Possibly, in the desert now, there doesn't seem to be a place worth gathering so many people except over there."

"That's good, I've heard that there are a lot of powerful monsters over there, so let's try my new axe hard."

The fighters were talking.

Soon, though, they stopped talking to each other.

Because West Germany is coming.

As the great steward of Chisha, West Germany still has some weight in the hearts of these soldiers.

Moreover, the strength of West Germany was not weak.

Wang Daoyi once gave him the power to control the wind and sand, and West Germany also used this power to destroy the Tanit tribe.

"Everyone, don't talk nonsense, please come with me." Sid didn't say much, beckoning everyone to come with him.

The fighters didn't ask much, they would know in the end anyway.

With West Germany in front, the holy warriors behind, and the ordinary warriors behind, the huge procession headed towards the lake in the center of the clan.

In the central lake, there is already a large group of xenomorph dragon lizards frolicking.

Their minds are very simple, anyway, they will do whatever the king tells them to do.

These xenosaurus lizards unleash their power in the lakeside, and the ice elemental converges, and there is a faint floating of broken ice on the surface of the lake.

The warriors followed West Germany here, and suddenly had a bad premonition,

Then their hunch came true.

Sid stood by the lake, feeling the cold chill coming from his side, and nodded secretly in his heart,

The strength of these xenomorph dragon lizards should indeed not be underestimated.

Turning around, he looked at the many warriors: "My god ordered that a group of warriors who can adapt to the cold are needed, and you are all the most elite warriors in the tribe, so I summoned you, and in the next time, you all have to train here to adapt to the cold." ”

Then he pointed to the xenosaurus in the lake behind him, "They will continue to cool this place for the rest of the day until the gods summon them." And you, only by persevering will you have the opportunity to follow the gods to unknown places. ”

The warriors looked at the slightly frozen lake, their eyes full of excitement without worry.

Blood and fire didn't defeat them, how could a mere frost make them retreat.

Sid also knew the arrogance of these warriors, so he didn't say anything more, and waved his hand: "You can go in, you will all spend time here, and I will have people bring food every day." ”

After West Germany finished speaking, one by one the soldiers couldn't wait to walk into the lake.

The xenosaurus lizards had long been accustomed to the breath of the Red Sand warriors, and they swam around the warriors in the water, spitting frost from time to time.

"Hiss~"

The warriors, who were silent in the blood and fire, let out inhales after coming into contact with the icy water.

It's not that they haven't taken cold showers, and in the desert, taking cold showers is also a treat,

But the current lake water is definitely not as simple as a cold shower,

It's an ice bath.

The invasion of the cold made these warriors can't help but stir up their qi and blood to fight the cold.

There are also people who grit their teeth, but they don't use their strength, and they use their bodies to carry the cold invasion.

But whether it is resisting with strength or with physical resistance, no one chooses to give up.

Following the Lord of the Red Sand on an expedition to an unknown region, no one will give up this supreme glory.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was evening,

Sid appeared here again, looking at the warriors who were full of lakes, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"When the time comes, everyone can come back to eat, let your body relax, and then continue after eating."

The human body has limits, and even elite fighters will be very troublesome once they have severe frostbite.

Hearing the call of West Germany, the warriors climbed up from the lake one after another.

Yes, climb up, it's frozen for a day, it's good to be able to climb.

The food is plentiful and nutritious.

But the fighters were not in a good mood,

Because while they were eating, those bastard dragon lizards began to breathe cold breath again,

The already cold waters of the lake are getting worse and worse.

Then the warriors saw the dragon lizards spew out the cold breath and run to the shore, and someone actually prepared a big meal for them.

How long the warriors have to train here, how long the dragon lizards have to breathe out the cold breath here,

Then the dragon lizards naturally eat public meals.

After the meal, without waiting for the West Germans to urge, the soldiers walked back to the lake one by one.

Their generation of warriors have all experienced the most barren era of the desert, and they know that opportunities are not easy to come by, so they naturally do not need to be supervised and urged.

Soon, West Germany left with the people of the canteen,

Nicholred came here with the alchemy apprentices.

Glancing at the big man who was full of the lake, Nicholred waved his hand: "Arrange all the instruments." ”

Extreme ice adaptation is dangerous,

That's when alchemy equipment comes into need to check the warriors' vital signs.

As soon as someone has unstable vital signs, the alchemy device will call the police, and then the xenosaurus will drag the corresponding person up.

Very user-friendly security measures.

Cold training in the desert persists,

And in the Sumeru Akademika, some scholars also began to prepare.

"According to the information given by the little auspicious grass king, that unknown place is extremely cold, so we must prepare enough cold materials."

"Cotton clothes, fire oil, fire element fragments, and even wood all need to be prepared."

"I don't know if the leylines over there are stable, if the leylines are normal, we can use the leyline instrument to extract the leyline energy for temperature protection."

"In this case, whether we want to bring some cold-resistant crops, the time for exploration is still unknown, logistics are very important, if it cannot be supplemented through the Akademiya, then the establishment of a logistics base is essential."

"Bring it, even if the logistics are not used, it can be used for environmental comparison experiments."

"What about security guarantees? Do you want to bring some weapons? ”

"I heard that there are warriors from Chisha who are going with us, and safety should be guaranteed, but we can't be completely assured, bring some, and find some small self-defense weapons that you can carry with you."

"Warmth, food, safety, almost, these three aspects are guaranteed, and the rest is easy to say."

"Okay, then I'll go and prepare."

……

For a while, the merchants in Sumeru City found all kinds of winter materials that could not be sold in the past, and they suddenly became in demand.

Originally, Sumeru did not have winter, and the climate of the rainforest was not cold-proof.

Now I suddenly need a large amount of cold protection materials, but some of them can't be taken out.

At this time, the importance of foreign chambers of commerce is reflected,

As a big chamber of commerce that has just opened up the situation in Sumeru, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has shown sufficient strength,

A large number of cold-proof materials were mobilized from Liyue.

These things were originally business with the Northland Bank.

Later, Liyue Northland Bank was served by Wang Dao one by one, and these supplies were left.

Among them, cotton clothes, fire oil, spirits, the category and quantity are very considerable.

——

Mondstadt Knights of Favonius

Returning to Mondstadt with the members of the Mission, it was still up to the Knights Clerk and the Church Sisters to report on the results of the mission.

Albedo himself walked into the captain's office with Klee.

"Welcome back, Albedo, did the mission go well?" Jean looked up from the pile of papers.

Albedo patted Klee and motioned for the girl to play on her own, before looking at Jean, "It's going well, each country has its own agenda, but luckily, we and Liyue formed an alliance a long time ago, so that we can fight for the greater good of the two kingdoms together." ”

Liyue and Mondstadt's business alliance was originally created to fight the financial invasion of the Fatui, but now the Fatui have become less and less influential in both countries.

This alliance gradually evolved into more cooperation.

"That's good, the Grand Master is not here, and we need to protect Mondstadt's interests." Jean nodded and said, "We are neighbors to Liyue, and it is important to maintain friendly relations. ”

The collaboration with Liyue was arguably the right choice for Jean.

Although her pen pal, the Celestial Star Condensation, was indeed strong and repeatedly had the upper hand in cooperation, Mondstadt's interests were not damaged, but became more and more profitable.

It's a win-win partnership, and it's getting better and better.

After a brief talk about the mission, Jean noticed that Albedo seemed to have something to say.

Glancing curiously at Albedo, Jean nodded, signaling that he was not welcome.

"The Lord of the Red Sands wants to cooperate with us and participate in the Grand Master's expedition." Albedo conveyed Wang Daoyi's opinion.

Qin was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly,

The Grand Master's expedition was not decided by Falgar's whim,

It's a long-held dream of Mondstadt.

When Mondstadt experienced the Scourge of Darkness, the Knights of Mondstadt conducted an expedition to find out the source of the disaster.

Of course, that expedition failed, or rather, did not succeed.

Whether or not the Lord of the Red Sand could intervene in Mondstadt's unfinished expedition was a difficult decision for Jean for a while.

However, Jean understands a little,

That is, the Lord of the Red Sand should be able to descend over there.

At the beginning, the Lord of the Red Sand entrusted her to let the Lawrence warriors take the crystallization to the expedition area, which is the thing of positioning, and this piano knows it.

"So, whether I say yes or not, the Lord of the Red Sand will come over there, right?" Jean asked, looking at Albedo.

"Probably yes."

Albedo nodded, with his understanding of Wang Daoyi, whether Qin agreed or not, Wang Daoyi would definitely act.

It's nothing more than a promise, you can act with Mondstadt, and if you don't agree, Chisha will act on her own.

Qin said: "In that case, then agree, I will write a letter and forward it to the Grand Master, and the Grand Master will naturally accept the Lord of the Red Sands...... Help. ”

Since you can't refuse, it's better to accept it directly.

Jean pulled out the letter and immediately wrote a letter detailing the Lord of the Red Sands and the friendly relationship between Mondstadt and the Lord of the Red Sands.

When he was done, Jean handed the letter to Albedo: "I think you have a way to give this letter to the Lord of the Red Sands. ”

Albedo nodded, "Leave it to me." ”

As technology has advanced, he and Nicholred have always been able to keep in touch.

Just send a letter, you can do it.

thereupon

But half a day later,

The Lord of the Red Sands received the letter from Nicholred in the temple.

"Captain Jean has agreed to your request and handed this letter to Grand Master Falca so that the other party will share the information with us."

Nicholred handed the letter out as he spoke.

On the throne of the gods, the lord of the red sand stretched out his hand, and the letter flew into his hand.

didn't mean to take it apart and look at it, and simply nodded: "Okay, thank you Albedo for helping me." ”

Nikored nodded: "Then I'll go first." ”

He still has experiments to do, and he doesn't have time to chat with the Lord of the Red Sands.

The Lord of the Red Sands did not hold back, and let Nicholred go.
