Hutao uses me to judge my performance

He doesn't know when his first customer is going to have an accident, but he knows it's okay to be prepared.

"Emergency ropes, non-slip boots, warm sleeping bags, firewood and charcoal for heating, biscuits and meat pies for hunger, sunglasses to prevent snow blindness..."

He tapped everything one by one, and put everything neatly, not letting go of every inch of San Qingling's space.

"Three cubic meters still feels a bit small..."

It looks big, but it's not enough when things are put up.

In particular, he also put a pile of dry wood and charcoal from the kitchen, and the space that was originally empty was suddenly stretched.

As for why he put firewood in the space, it is probably because he was afraid that he could not find dry firewood to make a fire on the snow mountain to keep warm...

After all, he has no experience of going to snow mountains, and all his knowledge of snow mountains comes from the distant view of Liyue Port.

After packing up his things, Jiang Bai pushed the door out and happily went to play with Walnut.

He didn't know when he was going to embark on a hard work trip, and now that he had time, he had to have fun.

"Hall Master, Hall Master, where are you, let's go out and catch fish~"

He yelled, and was about to get a speaker to play the Walnut Finder.

Walnut, who was lying on the roof basking in the sun, threw a tile, "What the hell are you screaming! How noisy is it!"

Jiang Bai flashed his body and deftly avoided the flying attack.

"Master, it turns out you are here!"

Seeing the walnuts on the roof, Jiang Bai built a ladder with rock elements and climbed up to the roof.

"A piece of tile and ten moras, if you step on it, you will be compensated according to the price."

Jiang Bai, who had just stepped on the tiles, froze, raised his legs carefully, and retreated to the stone ladder.

"Master, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't you see? I'm absorbing the essence of the sun!"

The walnut is lying on the roof in a large font, facing the sun without any shelter.

"Is there any use?" Jiang Bai tilted his head.

"In our line of work, it is inevitable that there will be a heavy yin on the body, so we need to get more exposure to the sun."

Hu Tao raised her hand. Under the sun, her hands were as white as whitewashed walls, and with the black nail polish, they looked unhealthy at all.

Looking at this unhealthy hand and those pure black and pure black nails, Jiang Bai suddenly became a little worried.

"Master, did you paint your nails yourself or did you cause it?"

Hu Tao withdrew his hand and looked at it, then said with a smile, "Of course I painted it myself!"

She sat up, with her hands drooping in front of her, making a scary little ghost.

"How about it, doesn't it look like the hand of a female ghost?"

"Like, so similar!"

"I just want this kind of effect, how can I scare people without this kind of effect~"

Yang hasn't recovered yet, and my aunt came again. She seemed to be infected with the flu, and her nose kept running...

It’s really a leaky house and it rains all night... (*)

Chapter 100 Diary

On the top of Tianheng Mountain, Ye Lan, wearing a moon-white cloak, stood on the top of the mountain.

This cloak was the spoils she seized from the Fools a few days ago. After a little modification of the style, it still fits well.

The wind in the mountains blew her hair, and she looked at the rushing Clear Water River in the distance, her eyes and eyebrows covered by her hair could not see her expression clearly.

"My lord, all the information you want has been collected."

A middle-aged man climbed to the top of the mountain out of breath and handed her a scroll.

Ye Lan took the scroll and looked down.

This is the investigation report on why Jiang Bai appeared in the Bishui River.

They investigated all the people living along the upper and lower reaches of the Bishui River, including but not limited to fishermen who often went fishing, treasure robbers stationed by the river bank, and merchants passing by.

Everyone who might have seen the scene in the lake was asked, trying not to let go of any clues.

Ye Lan took a rough look and took out a map from her pocket.

The Bishui River is connected to the hydrology of the entire Liyue. Whether it is the snow water that melts from the snow mountain or the underground water in the Huaguang Forest, they all converge in the Bishui River.

Therefore, it is not a simple matter to find out how Jiang Bai appeared in the Bishui River.

"[No one on either side of the Taiwan Strait has seen him...] Then the possibility of being thrown into the river halfway is relatively small."

"[Someone saw ice floes as big as boulders on the river...the time when the floes appeared was similar to the time when Jiang Bai was picked up...] Then the underground water in Huaguanglin can be ruled out..."

"There is no particularly cold place in Liyue, and the temperature is not high enough to form large ice floes. Therefore, only Longji Snow Mountain can produce large ice floes..."

She quickly analyzed, and looked at the towering Longji Snow Mountain.

Longji Snow Mountain covers a vast area, towering into the clouds, and there are countless underground rivers under the ice and snow.

It is very likely that Jiang Bai fell into the underground river with the huge ice floes, and was washed all the way to the source of clear water.

He even belonged to a part of the ice floe, and as the ice slowly melted, his body was revealed, which was discovered.

"In other words, he, he may not be from Liyue..."

It was only because he wasn't in Liyue's territory at the beginning, that's why he couldn't find any traces of him in Liyue.

It's just that the snow mountain is not a good place to go...

It doesn't belong to Liyue's territory either...

"My lord, shall we continue to investigate?"

"Go and find out if anything happened in the snow mountain a month ago..." Ye Lan said calmly.

People who have been in the ice will not appear for no reason, and they will not leave the snow mountain suddenly without external force.

If this is found, maybe Jiang Bai's true identity can be found out by this.

After receiving the order, his men quickly left. Yelan stood on the top of the mountain, looking alone at Liyue Harbor below.

For her, what matters is not Jiang Bai's identity.

It's about knowing all of this.

As Liyue's secret guardian, she must ensure that all dangers are under control.

……

For Katis, the road to the snow-capped mountains has been traveled thousands of times.

He skillfully avoided monsters and hid in the cave before the heavy snow came.

The night fell with the heavy snow, and the heavy snow that fell all over the sky rendered the whole world white.

He lit the dry wood that had been in the cave, and the crackling sound of the flame drove away a little bit of the cold.

He set up the pot, and put a handful of clean ice and snow from outside the cave into the pot. The ice and snow slowly melted into clean drinking water, and it would boil in a short time.

He rubbed his hands, let out a mouthful of warm air, then carefully took out a notebook from the interlayer of his clothes, and started to read it by the light of the fire.

This notebook is a record of his travels, recording his travel experiences.

In the past, he didn't have the habit of keeping a diary. After all, what he saw and heard was no different from those ordinary adventurers.

But later experiences changed his mind.

He was trapped in a cave and escaped through the notes left by his predecessors.

At that time, he was thinking whether he should also record his experiences on the journey, so that he could leave something after his death.

He learned from his predecessors' way of recording, and recorded little by little what he saw and heard about his journey.

[June 6rd, this is my second visit to Snow Mountain.Although I almost died here the first time I came here, I am obviously not someone who will give up easily. 】

【On June 6th, according to the guidance of my predecessors' diary, I came to a ruined ruin. This ruin has been abandoned for a long time, and I can't tell what the building was used for.

There are a lot of institutions here, as well as some relic monsters.I carefully lured those monsters away one by one and solved them. 】

[On June 6, I tried my best to unlock the mechanism here, and the stone wall turned, revealing a path.There is no light on this road, and I don't know where it leads, and I am not ready to go in and see. 】

[June 6.I went to the camp at the bottom of the mountain to resupply, supplemented food, and brought enough torches to burn for three days and three nights.I returned to the ruins and opened the door again. 】

[On June 6th, I don't know how long I walked along the passage, I saw a lot of murals.These murals should be very old, and some paints are no longer clear, but it is enough for me to see and record them. 】

[In the mural, at the beginning, a group of people danced around a huge ancient tree, as if they were offering sacrifices.A man put on a crown in front of a big tree, and the people in front of him knelt on one knee, and he raised his scepter and became the first king here.

The king would offer sacrifices under the big tree every once in a while, begging for the stability and good weather of the country.

Under the command of the king, people built magnificent buildings and carved murals on the walls. This gathering place without the protection of gods and few people began to take the embryonic form of a country.

Gradually, there was a princess beside the king.

The princess gradually grew up, and she and Ziming worshiped the huge pure white ancient tree together.

However, the good times didn't last long, the punishment from the sky came, the ancient trees withered, and the ground was frozen.

Heavy snow began to fall on this land, and the cold caused the people to die one by one. The people knelt down to the sky and begged for forgiveness.

The old king died in the severe cold, and the princess took over the duties of the old king and led the people to live again in this cold land.She sent a warrior to the outside world in an attempt to find a way to forgive the sky.

The blizzard was getting bigger and bigger, the people died one by one, and the warrior who went out never came back. 】

Chapter 101 The Ancient Country Covered in Snow and Ice

[After reading the mural, my heart is very heavy.I don't know if there are any murals in the back, I hope there are, but the road has come to an end, I don't have much food, and the torches are almost burnt out, I should go out. 】

[On June 6, the camp at the bottom of the mountain was already No. 13. Before I knew it, I had stayed on the snow mountain for so many days.Even though it's been a while since I saw the mural, my heart is still heavy. 】

【What did that ancient country do to cause the sky to send punishment?What kind of punishment turned this place into a world of ice and snow?Will Mond City experience such a change one day?

no, I can not!Lord Barbatos will not sit idly by! 】

[October 10st.It has been several months since I left the snow-capped mountains last time, and I am still worried about that mural.I desperately want to know what the punishment from the sky is.I looked through the senior's diary, and the senior's mood was the same as mine. 】

【October 10th, I came to the snow mountain again. This time I stayed in the snow mountain for half a month, but found nothing but a few frozen wild boars. 】

[On November 11, York said that he found a prison cell in Snow Mountain. It is said that the old nobles of Mond were once imprisoned. I am not interested. 】

[On January 1, I found a place with a very strange terrain.It took me half a month to decipher the mechanism. After the mechanism was opened, the ground subsided, and a hole was exposed in the frozen place.

I jumped down with joy, only to find that there was a powerful monster living inside, and I almost died in it. 】

[On March 3, I discovered a huge cave inside the snow mountain.It's really big inside, but it's also quite dangerous, with icicles falling from above from time to time.Those Qiuqiu people seem to have been living in the cave, and I don’t know how long they have been here...]

[March 3.I walked all the way up the road in the cave, trying to reach the highest point of the snow mountain, but even if I came out from the highest exit, it was only halfway up the snow mountain.How exactly do we get to the top of the mountain? 】

[May 5th.I am going to climb all the way up the snow-capped mountain until I reach the highest point of the snow-capped mountain. I have prepared for it for a month. 】

[On May 5, I failed.The visibility gets worse as I go up. In the wind and snow, my limbs are stiff and I can't see anything but snow.Even because of the cold, I fell from the mountainside, but fortunately I was rescued, so I was saved from freezing to death. 】

[November 11th, I have been recuperating for more than half a year.After getting better, I tried to fly all the way to the top of the snow mountain from a high place, but I didn't find a place higher than the snow mountain nearby. 】

[On March 3, I entered the snow mountain again.I found that there are many camps for fools in the snow-capped mountains, but fortunately, these people generally don’t attack passing adventurers, and I don’t know why these fools come to the snow-capped mountains...]

[January 1st.Another year passed, my doubts were still unanswered, I still couldn't find any way to the top of the mountain.From time to time, I read the diary left by my predecessors, trying to find some useful clues. 】

[On January 1, I found out what kind of tree they worshiped. It turned out to be a leyline tree, but what is the function of the leyline tree? 】

[On January 1th, I picked up a frozen crown, which is quite old-fashioned, like white branches made of metal and tied up.Because it was frozen, it still kept its original appearance very well.I brought it to my scholar friend. 】

[February 2.My scholar friend told me that this head crown is called the Ice Sacrifice Crown, which should have been worn by a previous sacrifice. It dates back quite a long time ago and has very high research value. 】

[On March 3, I continued to search along the place where I picked up the crown, and I found a stone tablet.A few short sentences are engraved on the stone tablet, recording that the country was once the capital here.

"Away from ice, snow and strife, I arrived at the verdant paradise, so I erected this monument, and set up my capital here, named Shal Fendnir."

I also finally know the name of this ancient country covered in ice and snow, it may be older than I imagined. 】

[On March 3, I returned to Mondstadt to research some information, and also learned some history of Mondstadt.This country called Fendenir is indeed very old, even older than the founding of Mondstadt. 】

【During the long time ago, during the War of Demon Gods, the land of Mond was filled with wind and snow, which was completely unsuitable for human survival. The people of Mond were imprisoned by a tyrant within the high wall. The land of Germany is completely different. It is a paradise without ice and snow.
