Genshin Impact

Chapter 48
Rosalin knew that the Queen's personality was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, nothing would happen to Xia You, so she left without any hesitation.

In the cold winter palace, only Xia You and the Ice Queen were left.

"Although it's the first mission, it's done well. According to my estimates, it shouldn't be so fast with a lady alone. You must be responsible for it." The Ice Queen said lightly.

Xia You's heartbeat gradually accelerated. The empress wanted to give herself a reward. Would she like to get a promotion, a salary increase, or teach her new moves based on her own characteristics?
He couldn't help looking forward to it, but all he had to wait for was a brief sentence from the Ice Queen.

"From today onwards, change your name to Alahato."

Xia You was a little dazed, he raised his head to ask about his reward, but was pushed down by an invisible cold wind.

"Don't be too greedy. To be named by me means that you have been truly recognized by me. This is already a great honor. If you want more rewards, go and accomplish more goals for me."

"So I don't have any other rewards?" Xia You didn't look up, he asked a little disappointed.

The Ice Queen on the throne did not speak, she was silent for a while, and finally spit out two words, "It's gone."

In the end, Xiayou walked out of the Winter Palace in despair, and met a lady waiting for him and the "girl" Columbia at the gate of the palace.

Colombia closed her eyes and waved to him gently, while the lady looked at Xia You curiously.

"You seem to be in a bad mood, did Her Lady Empress say something?" the lady asked suspiciously.

Xia You shook his head, he turned to look at the lady, "Is there no reward for the executive officer to successfully complete the task?"

Columbia showed a surprised expression when she heard the words, as if she was wondering why Xia You would think of rewarding them, they were all working for nothing.

The lady asked simply, "Do you feel like you have something you want?"

Xia You frowned, he didn't seem to have anything in particular he wanted, did he want to learn stronger moves?It seems that it is.

"I just feel that at least I need to give me something. It feels weird to have nothing." Xia You sighed and said, suddenly Xia You remembered something and said: "Oh, yes, Her Ladyship gave me a name Yes, it's called Alahato."

"Isn't that great?" Columbia asked, tilting her head.

Looking at the lady's expression, she seemed to agree that this was a good reward, which made Xia You think that she was actually being too greedy.

Sitting in the carriage with the lady and Columbia, Xia You felt uncomfortable.

"Do you need to rest for a while before going to Liyue this time?" The lady asked indifferently.

"I still need to go to Mond again, and then go to Liyue." Xia You explained.

On the contrary, Columbia showed a curious expression when she heard Mond and Liyue.

"Mond. What's it like there?" Columbia asked with interest.

Xia You touched her chin, "Mond is a green field, where there is a warm monsoon, beautiful flowers, and a group of interesting people."

Hearing Xia You's words, Columbia showed a yearning expression.

"When the queen's wish is fulfilled, I really want to visit there. I heard from Sister Rosalind that the children's stories there are very interesting!" Columbia said with a smile on her lips.

Just when Xia You was about to continue talking, he saw the lady wink at him, as if telling him not to continue talking.

Although he didn't know the reason, Xia You still decided to trust the lady.

Columbia was not angry when she saw Xia You stopped talking and just sat there quietly, dangling her legs.

In short, the young girl gave Xia You a very strange feeling, and there seemed to be some problems with her personality.

Finally, after getting off the carriage, the girl skipped and left here. Before leaving, she did not forget to say goodbye to the lady and Xia You.

After she left, Xia You cast a puzzled look at the lady.

"Why don't you let me continue?" Xia You asked.

The lady seemed to be scruples, but finally said it out.

"That child is a bit special. For some reason, she can't open her eyes, she can't see the outside world, and she has a different perspective on many things from us.
She is usually in the doctor's laboratory and is interested in many things from the outside world, but Her Majesty ordered us not to take the initiative to approach her, she asked us to answer, that's all
Superfluous words were not allowed, and she was not even allowed to leave Solstice until she was ordered. "

Xia You was slightly taken aback, "In that case, she is too pitiful."

The lady didn't answer any more, she didn't seem to want to discuss similar issues anymore, the atmosphere fell into silence, and Xia You had no choice but to bring up the topic.

"I plan to set off for Mond tomorrow, when do you plan to go to Liyue?"

"There is a young master in Liyue for the time being. I will go there by boat in about three days. Now I just hope that guy's mission goes well." The lady said without the slightest emotion in her tone.

The lady brought Xiayou back to her home. She also has a place to live in Zhidong. Like the young master, it is a villa, but it is in the style of Mond.

She arranged Xia You into a room, and then went up to the second floor.

Xia You was about to go out to have a good dinner, but saw a lady with hidden mirrors standing at the door of the villa waiting for him.

"Master Apprentice, Her Majesty the Empress has something for you." The hidden mirror lady said calmly.

Xia You's gaze stayed on the wooden case she was holding, on which was a new executive uniform and an ice mirror that seemed to be made of ice.

She looked at Bing Jing with some doubts and found nothing special, and the uniform of the executive officer was similar to the one he wore.

It was very ordinary, but Xia You couldn't figure out the queen's intention.

After the Tibetan lady left, Xia You sat on the sofa in the lady's house and meditated with these two things.

"The uniform of the executive officer represents the position of the executive officer. Opening the mirror means self-examination. The meaning of the combination probably means looking at yourself in the mirror. I can make you an executive officer, which is already very good!"

Xia You thought about the meaning of these two things in her own mind, and finally she was so sad that she was on the verge of tears.

I don't know when the lady came to Xia You's side, she asked curiously: "Where did these two things come from?"

"My lord empress sent someone to bring it over," Xia You replied with a bit of heartache.

The lady pondered for a while, "Maybe Her Ladyship doesn't know what you like, so maybe I gave you these as rewards."

Xia You raised her head and looked at the lady, "Are you serious? Her Majesty the Empress clearly told me that there are no other rewards."

"My Lady Queen has always been like this. She says merciless words on her lips, but she actually considers her subordinates very gently."

　If I am backstabbed by Mi Huyou, please reward me with a silver alliance to comfort me, please.

　　Please build me a tipping building, I will check in every day
