Dragonspine Snow Mountain, near the Snow Burial City, Lawrence Station.

"Patriarch, this is a complete frame-up, we have all retreated so many steps, and they still refuse to let us go."

The young Lawrence man had a look of grievance on his face.

Apparently, they had received news that the Lawrence family had kidnapped the businessman.

"What the hell is going on with that man?" Eula is also a little troubled, and she finally settled down, why did she have an accident again?

The young Lawrence replied: "When we were out on patrol, we met him in a coma, and we kindly brought him back, but as soon as he woke up, he ran wildly. ”

As he spoke, the young man's expression became even more aggrieved,

As a Lawrence, they finally did a good deed,

In the end, not only did he not receive thanks, but he also became a kidnapper, which is so hurtful.

Eula frowned slightly, she believed what her people said.

After all, the Lawrence family, despite the great cost of getting out of the quagmire of Mondstadt, was not weak enough to kidnap small merchants to suck blood.

"So, someone is stirring up a wedge between us and the Knights."

Eula came up with this answer in an instant.

After all, there is no other answer.

"Patriarch, why don't we go, don't stay in Mondstadt, and go straight to Liyue, or beyond, it's too ...... here."

The young Lawrence wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to describe it.

Eula glanced at him and reached out to pat the young man on the shoulder: "Remember this feeling of grievance, this is our atonement for our past sins, the glory of Lawrence has not yet been restored, the glory of our ancestors under the ice and snow still needs to be found, even if we want to leave Mondstadt, we should be the glorious Lawrence, not run away." ”

The young Lawrence man blushed,

Glory, glory, will always be something that the noble blood cannot give up.

When Eula said this, he was ashamed and annoyed, but he regained his ambition.

Looking at the changes in the young man, Eula sighed slightly in her heart, just after taking over the Lawrence family for such a short time, she was completely accustomed to this kind of talk.

"Patriarch, Lord Diluc and two other guests from Liyue would like to see you." Some people came to report.

Diluc's family is [Lygunfende], which originated from the Knight of Dawn, and is a family as old as Lawrence.

And [Leggunfender] is still strong,

So, the Lawrence people are very respectful to Diluc,

As for Xingqiu and Chongyun,

One is the young master of the Great Chamber of Commerce, and the other is the ancient Fang Shi inheritance,

Naturally, it can also be recognized by Lawrence.

"Lord Diluc?" Eula's eyes flashed slightly,

He actually came earlier than the Knights?

"Invite them in, and make some cedar tea."

Eula commanded.

soon

Diluc and the three were in Eula's tent.

And the Lawrence people also served tea,

"I'm sorry, it's barren here, there's no better tea." Eula nodded apologetically, and then asked, "I don't know if the three of you came to me for something?" ”

Diluc was also not verbose: "For the kidnapping case, this is Young Master Xingqiu, from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and some of them have also been kidnapped." ”

Eula frowned, "Do you think we Lawrence did it?" ”

Diluc immediately shook his head: "No, the acting head and I both think that this is the mastermind behind the scenes, provoking the relationship between Lawrence and the Knights, and restraining the Knights' energy. ”

"And what are you here for?" Eula was a little puzzled.

Since you don't suspect Lawrence, what are you doing with me?

Diluc told Eula what they had speculated about.

After hearing that the mastermind behind the scenes should be in the snowy mountains,

"Really? In the middle of a snowy mountain? Eula immediately stood up,

This is really a threat to the Lawrence family.

You know, in order to get out of the quagmire of Mondstadt, the Lawrence family sent the last elite of the family to the Grand Master.

If there really was a gang of outlaws around Camp Lawrence, it would be a very big threat.

Just as he was about to continue talking, another voice came from outside the tent,

"Patriarch, Amber, the scout knight is here."

Although the Lawrence family does not like the people of the Knights, they also know that Amber and Eula are friends.

Amber has free access to Camp Lawrence,

If it weren't for the presence of guests, the Lawrence wouldn't even report a word.

So saying, Amber went into the tent.

"Ah, looks like I'm catching up." Amber patted her chest, "Eula, this is a letter from Captain Jean to you. ”

Amber pulls out a letter to Eula.

Eula didn't rub it off, and immediately dismantled it,

Sure enough, Captain Jean made it clear in the letter that he believed in the Lawrence family, and hoped that Lawrence could cooperate with Diluc's team in the investigation.

In addition, the Knights of Scout will reside at Camp Lawrence and disguise their investigation to deceive those behind the scenes, making them think that the Order's energy is being sucked away.

After reading Captain Jean's letter, Eula looked at Diluc with a serious expression: "Next, how is Lawrence going to cooperate with you?" ”

"We need a detailed map of the snow-capped mountains to verify where we can station a large number of people......"

Diluc officially entered the state, saying one request after another, while Eula nodded lightly and instructed the people below to prepare.

……

The top of the snow-capped mountain,

The snow-capped mountains, which were supposed to be covered in snow, have been transformed into the appearance of the base.

A great number of Fatui are stationed in this place,

And in the center of the Fatui camp, a laboratory rises from the ground,

"Pay attention to the warmth of the material, it's getting more and more difficult to arrest people now, don't die unnecessarily, if it's not enough, I'll put you on top." Dressed in winter clothes, standing in the laboratory where the cold wind could not blow in, the doctor said coldly to his subordinates.

The Fatui officials shuddered, "Yes, my lord. ”

"Also, how's the plan going?" The doctor continued.

"It's going well, the citizens of Mondstadt have protested against the Knights." The Fatui officials hurriedly reported.

"Heh, these are just illusions, and they must be real." A sneer appeared at the corner of Dotore's mouth, "That [Ryunfende] who escaped from us is not so easy to fool. ”

The Fatui officials lowered their heads and continued to tremble, not daring to answer.

Lord Diluc had a brilliant record, and after he left the Knights, he went on an 'adventure' 'alone'.

Later, because of some things, several Fatui executives attacked him, but they didn't leave him behind.

This is a shame for many executives.

"Still, he's still too tender, and as long as he casts a little bait, he'll still come and bite the hook."

"Hehe, how can ordinary people as materials compare to a [Lygunfender]."

The doctor sneered,

His purpose has never been ordinary people,

If he wanted an ordinary person to be a test subject, why would he come to Mondstadt?

As long as he stays in the winter, he will have an endless supply of 'materials'.

The reason why he came to Mondstadt at the risk of being discovered by the Lord of the Red Sands, and trying his best to avoid Barbatos's gaze, was to attract the Leghornfender out.

"A test subject who can match the Sublime Eye as perfectly as an executive is what I need."

With a cold glint in the doctor's eyes,

Diluc once left his Vision behind and used his father's evil eye to 'take risks'.

He investigates all the way and discovers that his father's death and the evil eye in his hands are inseparable from the Fatui.

Later, with the help of an unknown intelligence force, Diluc confronted the Fatui many times.

In the most dangerous time, the Fatui even dispatched several executives,

But even in this situation, the Fatui were unable to keep Diluc behind.

Later, Diluc returned to Mondstadt and regained his vision.

The Evil Eye is sealed.

But the Doctor was obsessed with Diluc,

A person who can use the Evil Eye to confront other executives, what is the difference between this and an executive,

The only difference is that he can't experiment with other executives, and this outsider he can use (the World Tree is modified, and the doctor no longer has the memory of the Balladeer, so he thinks he hasn't done experiments with other executives.) ）

Thinking about it, Torore raised his head and glanced at the sky spike suspended not far away,

"If it weren't for the traveler repairing it, I wouldn't have found out that the Sky Spike still has such a strong hidden effect, even the gods can hide it."

He used the Tiannail to hide the perception of Wang Daoyi and Wendy.

In fact, the reason why the Heavenly Spike can hide the hidden aura is not to hide the two gods,

It was the power of the sky that suppressed everything here.

Even the leylines are dead silent, let alone the breath of a person.

Dotore was crooked, hiding from Barbatos' sight.

"Go ahead, they are probably coming over soon, let the people below prepare, don't scare people away." Dotore waved his hand.

The Fatui official nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, we have narrowed the line of defense, and the guarantor can come to you." ”

He didn't really understand what the doctor was doing.

On the one hand, disinformation was released to obstruct the investigation of the Knights,

On the one hand, the defense line was removed, allowing the investigation team to enter.

However, although he didn't understand, he knew that the most important thing to do under the doctor was to be obedient.

He will not necessarily reward you if he is satisfied, but he will definitely get you if he is not satisfied.

Of the Fatui's many executives, the Doctor is also the most difficult to serve.

If you don't have a snack eye, you really won't live long under him.

"Well, let's go down."

His gaze withdrew from his men, and Dotore looked at the Spike,

"What a perfect power, if you could..."

A look of longing flashed in his eyes,

Dotore's inner ambition is growing wildly.

O power of the sky!

……

Longji Snow Mountain, at the foot of the mountain,

"Diona, there's old mint over here."

Xiangling beckoned to the kitten bartender not far away,

By her side, the pot seemed to be very happy, rolling around in the snow,

They came to collect mint from the snowy mountains.

But it's not all mint,

Teyvat's mint is actually not the same as normal mint,

First of all, Teyvat's mint does not wilt.

That is, it will grow all the time,

Well, the older the mint, the better,

Then, if Diona wants to make wine that others can't eat, she needs this old mint,

And if Xiangling wants to make mint dishes, she needs young shoots.

The two helped each other find it, and then collected it separately.

Suddenly, the pot that was rolling in the snow looked at the snow-capped pine trees not far away.

"Guoba, what's wrong?" Xiangling sensed that something was wrong.

"Luba~Lulu~" Guoba stretched out his little short hand and shouted a few times at the pine forest not far away.

Xiangling frowned: "You said, someone was watching us over there just now?" ”

She became a little guarded, and her right hand shook the void, and the extinction in the box appeared in her hand.

Wisps of fire elemental begin to come alive.

"What's wrong?" Diona noticed that something was wrong with Xiangling and ran over to ask.

"Guoba said someone was spying on us." Xiangling whispered.

Diona's eyes narrowed in a kitten-guarded gesture, and then she looked at the pine forest not far away.

And nothing was found.

"Could it be that the pot is wrong, this is a snow-capped mountain, and there are often adventurers haunting, it may be that passing adventurers saw us and observed it." Diona guessed.

Xiangling immediately shook her head: "It's impossible, Guoba will only feel the malicious gaze, if it is a normal observation, Guoba will not pay attention to it." ”

"The other party must not be a good person." Xiangling emphasized in particular.

Diona immediately believed it, she felt that Xiangling couldn't joke about this kind of thing: "Then let's go, go back and report to the Knights, or inform the adventurer camp under the mountain." ”

At the foot of the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain, there is an adventurer's camp, where people from the Adventurers' Association are stationed all year round.

Although Xiangling is confident in her own strength, and she also has confidence in Guoba,

But this is not Liyue after all, and it's hard to explain what happened.

So he agreed to Diona's plan, and left the snowy mountain area first, and went to the adventurer's camp to inform the situation.

After the two left,

In the pine forest before, out of a squad of Fatui came out,

"Boss, are we going to chase?"

"No, our mission is to hold this side and not let those adventurers go to the top of the mountain."

The leading Fatui waved their hands, dispelling the idea of their men wanting to pursue,

Then he looked at the backs of Xiangling and Guoba, and frowned slightly: "It's really strange, this girl, have you seen it somewhere." ”

After thinking about it, he couldn't remember it in the end, and then he returned to the pine forest with his men.

Unbeknownst to Dotore, his men were close to saving him.

If this Fatui captain recognizes Xiangling's identity, he will definitely report it to Dotore,

With Duo Torre's jealousy of Wang Daoyi, even if it is just the people around Wang Daoyi, he will run away as soon as possible.

It's a pity that the tasks for several days, coupled with Xiangling's low-key personality, made the Fatui not recognize her immediately.

……

On the other side,

With the help of the Lawrence family, the investigation team began to march to the top of the snow-capped mountain.

Although it was said to be a search, the three Diluc had already been reminded by Wang Daoyi that there was something wrong with the top of the snow-capped mountain.

Therefore, the atmosphere on the road seems to be tense, but in fact it is relaxed.

"It seems that the other party doesn't seem to have arranged much protective measures, and we all walked straight up."

Xingqiu said with some surprise.

There were a lot of difficulties along the way, but they were either monsters or terrain difficulties.

On the contrary, everyone guessed that the sniping belonging to the Fatui never came,

If Wang Daoyi hadn't told them clearly, there was a problem at the top of the mountain, and they would have thought they were in the wrong place.

"Crises are often hidden in calm, and the more unusually calm there is, the more it proves that something is wrong."

Diluc said in a deep voice, and there was already a faint sense of crisis in his heart.

This kind of premonition is very sensitive, and when he is out on an adventure, he often relies on this premonition to avoid danger.

"There's an ambush ahead, let the Lawrence family leave first."

Wang Daoyi's voice suddenly sounded in Diluc's ears.

Diluc's expression remained unchanged, but he stopped.

"What's wrong?" Eula, who was accompanying the search, paused slightly, and looked at Diluc with some confusion.

Diluc looked up at the top of the mountain, and then looked down the mountain: "I've searched here, and I haven't found anything, Eula, please let your people spread out the search down, let's just continue to go up." ”

Eula just wanted to refute, after all, no matter when, in the face of an unknown enemy, it is not a good idea to separate your own manpower,

But she noticed that Diluc winked at her very subtly,

Eula reacted, probably because Diluc had discovered something, so he asked the ordinary people to leave first.

"Okay, I see." Eula looked at her people, "You guys in groups of three, search down from here, and if you don't find it, go straight back to the camp." ”

The Lawrence people did not suspect him, and took the order very seriously, and spread out to search.

When they're all gone,

Eula looked at Diluc: "Senior, did you find anything?" ”

Because Jean is called Diluc's senior, Eula also calls her, after all, she is the head of the Lawrence family, and it is not good to follow the clansmen, called Master Diluc.

"There should be an ambush ahead, everyone be careful." Diluc said.

Eula's expression became solemn and looked ahead,

A trail in the wind and snow, flanked by high and raised cliffs, placed in military operations, this is indeed a good place for ambush,

Several of them became serious, wisps of elemental power converging on their bodies, ready to strike at any time.

But on the surface, they still pretended not to know, and approached the trap set by the other party step by step.

"Get in, go in, hey, hey, hey."

On the high raised cliff, the captain of the Fatui in a snow lurking suit looked at the prey below and muttered in a low voice.

Then, he saw the members of the investigation team stop in front of the trail and stopped moving forward.

"What's going on?" The captain of the Fatui squad was a little overwhelmed, and he saw that his prey was about to be trapped, so why did he stop.

Soon, he saw the red-haired man below raise his head, showing a pair of big white teeth at him.

The smile is beautiful, but the hearts of the Fatui are cold.

"Discovered!"

didn't wait for the panic in his heart to end,

Below the cliffs,

Diluc's right hand was held in the void, and a great sword appeared in his hand,

With his feet on the ground, the whole person rushed up the cliff,

The steep cliffs were like flat ground at his feet,

But in the blink of an eye, Diluc rushed up the cliff,

"Hehe, maybe, you can tell me something."

The flaming sword slammed into the Fatui squad, and the blazing flames swept through the area in an instant, and the flames came into contact with the wind and snow, and white mist rose up.

With just one blow, the Fatui squad lurking here was wiped out and wailed all over the field.
