Explorer of Teyvat

The northern border is a place shrouded in wind and snow,

In the station of the Knights of the West Wind,

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

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

However, the Knights of the West Wind are still human beings, and at least they provide these people with food and shelter.

In the main business account,

Falga put down Qin's autographed letter, with a hint of surprise on his heroic face: "Hahahaha, that little guy Yula can actually do this. It's really admirable."

Qin explained to Falga in the letter that Yula was in charge of the Lawrence family.

He also said that these Lawrence warriors were "actively" dispatched by the Lawrence family, and hoped that the Grand Commander could accept them, at least not to let them all die in the battle.

Warriors from the Lawrence family may not necessarily be accepted by the expeditionary force.

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

Qin's request is probably to ask Falga not to break up the Lawrence soldiers, but to let them act together to increase their survival rate.

"This is a problem, Grand Master." [Cardinal of Dawn] Simon said without hesitation.

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

Even the soldiers of the expeditionary force would find it difficult to face these Lawrence soldiers calmly.

"Simon, no matter what, the Lawrence family has apologized and shown sincerity. Now it's time for us to show sincerity." Falga is not a complete force, and his political skills are not weak, otherwise he would not be able to organize This great expedition.

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

"Don't be anxious, Frederica." Falga responded, then took out the map and looked at it.

After a while, Falga pointed on the map: "Leave this place to the warriors of the Lawrence family. If you want to be forgiven, then make a show of it and let them participate in patrol first."

Frederica and Simon glanced at the place pointed out by Falga. It was a small pass, part of the outer defense line.

"That's okay. Even if they lose, it won't have much impact on the defense." Simon nodded.

If a small pass on the peripheral defense line is lost, it will not have much impact. The rear defense line can react quickly to resist the enemy.

"Well, if they can hold on, they can naturally gradually change everyone's impression of them. Just like little Youla, she won everyone's recognition with her practical actions."

Falga said boldly.

No matter what you say, everything is false. Only things that are truly done are convincing.

at the same time,

In Lawrence's temporary camp,

Several Lawrence leaders got together and were also discussing their futures.

"Farga is not hostile to us, but the [Cardinal of Dawn] doesn't seem to like us very much."

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

"Miss Youla... Chief Youla's order, we only need to obey Falga's order, and we don't need to worry about anything else."

"Will he send us to die?"

"Although I don't like the Knights, Falga is not that kind of person. Moreover, our mission is to atone for our sins. Even if we are forced to die, we must die heroically."

As soon as these words came out, the camp became quiet.

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 camp relaxed a little, and everyone started chatting again.

"By the way, do you want to give that thing to Falga?" asked a Lawrence.

"The commission we received was to bring the things here, but it didn't say to give them to Falga." Lawrence, the leader, said, and then took out Wang Daoyi's positioning crystal 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 entrusted to bring the crystal to the Expeditionary Force and then crush the crystal.

Lawrence, the leader, hesitated for a moment, and finally let go: "Let's wait a little longer until Falga assigns us a task and makes the camp independent."

He was worried about what would happen if the crystal was crushed.

The Laurence family is already a walking trouble in the eyes of Mondstadt people.

If something strange happens, people like me might be even more marginalized.

It’s not too late to settle down first and then deal with the crystals.

Anyway, the commission didn't say to crush it immediately.

The others also understood the leader's worries and nodded, thinking it would be better to play it safe.

Of course, what they didn't know was that when they brought the crystal here,

Wang Daoyi on the other end had already sensed it.

Crush the crystal to actively summon the king's way to come.

And even if they don't crush the crystal, Wang Daoyi can use the crystal as a coordinate to forcefully open the earth channel and come here.

Of course, they are not in a hurry, and neither is Wang Dao.

Big Red Sand Sea, Fertile Oasis, Red Sand Headquarters,

Three hundred holy warriors with terrifying momentum and three thousand red sand elites with bloody aura were gathered here.

They are all warriors who have been pioneering outside,

Since the establishment of Chisha, their battle has never stopped.

In remote deserts and deep underground ruins, they have been fighting.

Now, they have been summoned and gathered here one after another.

These elite warriors holding sharp blades stood on the tribal training ground, attracting a large number of desert people to watch.

Even the caravans coming from outside would inevitably take a few more glances.

Many people speculated whether there was going to be another big disturbance in Chisha.

Even the warriors themselves were speculating on the purpose of the Red Sand Lord summoning them.

"Does my god want to wipe out the barren rocky desert at once?" someone speculated.

"It's possible. In the desert right now, except there, there seems to be no place worthy of gathering so many people."

"That's good. I heard there are many powerful monsters over there. It's time to give my new ax a try."

The soldiers talked a lot.

However, they soon stopped whispering,

Because West Germany is coming.

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

Moreover, West Germany is 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, without further ado, please come with me." Sid didn't say anything more, beckoning everyone to follow him.

The soldiers didn't ask too many questions, they would all know in the end anyway.

With West in front, the Skeleton Warriors in the back, and the ordinary soldiers in the back, the huge team walked towards the lake in the center of the tribe.

In the central lake, there is already a large group of alien dragon lizards playing and playing.

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

These alien dragon lizards exuded power wantonly in the lakeside, ice elements gathered, and there were faint pieces of ice floating on the lake.

The soldiers followed West Germany here and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Then their hunch came true.

Sid stood by the lakeside, feeling the cold chill coming from around him, and nodded secretly in his heart,

The strength of these alien dragon lizards cannot be underestimated.

He turned around and looked at the many warriors: "My God has ordered that we need a group of warriors who can adapt to the cold. You are all the most elite warriors in the tribe, so I have summoned you. You will all be trained here in the coming time." , adapting to the cold.”

Then he pointed at the alien dragon lizards in the lake behind him: "They will continue to cool this place in the following days until the call of the gods comes. And you, only by persevering can you follow the gods to the unknown. opportunity."

The soldiers looked at the slightly frozen lake, their eyes filled with excitement instead of worry.

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

West Germany also knew the arrogance of these soldiers, so he did not say anything more and waved his hand: "You can go in. You will spend the rest of your life here. I will have people deliver food every day."

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

The alien dragon lizards have long been accustomed to the breath of the red sand warriors, and they swim around the warriors in the water, spitting out the breath of ice from time to time.

"Hiss~"

The warriors who remained silent in the blood and fire made a sound of inhaling after coming into contact with the cold lake water.

It’s not that they have never taken a cold shower. In the desert, taking a cold shower is also a kind of enjoyment.

But the current lake water is definitely not as simple as a cold bath.

This is an ice bath.

The cold invasion made these warriors unable to help but pump up their energy and blood to fight against the cold.

There were also people who gritted their teeth but did not use any strength and used their bodies to bear the cold attack.

But no matter whether they resisted with strength or with their bodies, no one chose to give up.

Following the Lord of Red Sand on an expedition into unknown territories, no one would give up on this supreme honor.

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

West Germany appeared here again, looking at the soldiers all over the lake with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

"The time is up, everyone can come back to eat, let your body relax for a while, and then continue after eating."

The human body has its limits, and even elite warriors will be in great trouble if they suffer from severe frostbite.

Hearing West Germany's call, the soldiers climbed up from the lake one after another.

Yes, it’s good to climb up after freezing for a day.

The food is rich and nutritious.

But the soldiers were not in a good mood.

Because while they were eating, those bastard dragon lizards started breathing ice breath again,

The already cold lake water became even more chilling to the bone.

Then the soldiers saw the dragon lizards running to the shore after exhaling the breath of ice. Someone actually prepared a feast for them.

How long will the warriors train here, and how long will the dragon lizards breathe out the breath of ice?

Then the dragon lizards will naturally eat from the public family.

After the meal, without waiting for West Germany's urging, the soldiers walked back to the lake one by one.

Their generation of warriors had all experienced the most barren era of the desert. They knew that opportunities were hard to come by, and naturally they did not need supervision or urging.

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

Nicored came here with his alchemy apprentices.

Glancing at the big men all over the lake, Nicolád waved his hand: "Arrange all the instruments."

Extreme ice adaptation is dangerous,

At this time, alchemical equipment is needed to check the vital signs of the soldiers.

Once someone's vital signs are unstable, the alchemy equipment will alarm, and then the alien dragon lizard will drag the corresponding person up.

Very user-friendly security measures.

The cold training in the desert is constant,

In the Xumi Order, some scholars also began to prepare.

"According to the information given by Mr. Little Lucky Grass King, the unknown land is extremely cold, so we must prepare enough cold-resistant materials."

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

"I don't know if the earth veins over there are stable. If the earth veins are normal, we can use the earth vein instrument to extract the energy of the earth veins for temperature protection."

"In this case, whether we have to bring some cold-resistant crops, the time of exploration is still unknown. Logistics is very important. If it cannot be supplemented through the Order Academy, then establishing a logistics base is essential."

"Take it with you. Even if it's not needed for logistics, it can still be used for environmental comparison experiments."

"Where's the security? Are you going to bring some weapons?"

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

"Warmth, food, safety, that's about it. With these three aspects guaranteed, everything else is easy to talk about."

"Okay, then I'll get ready."

…

For a time, merchants in Xumi City found that various winter supplies that were usually unsold were suddenly in short supply.

Originally, there was no winter in Xumi, and the climate of the rainforest was not even cold-proof.

Now I suddenly need a large amount of cold-proof supplies, but I can't get them.

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

As a large chamber of commerce that has just opened its doors in Xumi, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has shown sufficient strength.

A large amount of cold protection materials were mobilized from Liyue.

These things were originally business deals with Beiguo Bank.

Later, Liyue North Bank was taken over by Wang Dao one by one, and these supplies were all left.

Among them, cotton clothes, kerosene, and spirits, the categories and quantities are very impressive.

Knights of Mondstadt Zephyr

After returning to Mondstadt with the members of the mission, it was still up to the Clerk of the Knights and the Sister of the Church to report on the results of this mission.

Abedo himself took Keli into the head's office.

"Welcome back, Abedo, did your mission go well?" Qin raised her head from the pile of documents.

Abedo patted Keli and motioned the girl to play by herself, and then looked at Qin: "It went relatively smoothly. Every country has its own demands, but fortunately we and Liyue formed an alliance a long time ago. We can Let both sides work together to strive for greater interests among the countries."

The business alliance between Liyue and Mondstadt was established a long time ago to fight against the financial invasion of the Fools. But now, the influence of the Fools in the two countries has become increasingly smaller.

This alliance gradually evolved into more cooperation.

"That's good. Since the Grand Commander is not here, we need to protect Mondstadt's interests." Qin nodded and said, "We and Liyue are neighboring countries, and it is important to maintain friendly relations."

Cooperating with Liyue can be said to be the most correct choice Qin Zairen made.

Although her pen pal Tianquan Xing Ningguang is indeed strong and has repeatedly gained the upper hand in cooperation, Mond's interests have not been harmed, but have made more and more money.

This is a win-win cooperation and it is getting more and more win-win.

After briefly talking about the mission, Qin found that Abedo seemed to have something else to say.

Glancing at Albedo curiously, Qin nodded, indicating that you're welcome.

"The Lord of Red Sand hopes to cooperate with us and participate in the Grand Leader's expedition." Abedo conveyed Wang Daoyi's opinion.

Qin was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly,

The Grand Master's expedition was not decided on Falgar's whim.

But it was Mond's long-standing unfulfilled dream.

When Mondstadt experienced a dark disaster, the Knights of Mondstadt held an expedition to explore the source of the disaster.

Of course, that expedition failed, or rather, it was not successful.

Whether the Lord of Red Sand could be allowed to intervene in Mondstadt's unfinished expedition was something Qin couldn't decide for a while.

However, Qin does understand a little better.

That means the Lord of Red Sand should be able to descend there.

The crystallization that the Lord of Red Sand entrusted her to bring to the expedition area with Lawrence warriors was the location thing, and this Qin knew it.

"So, whether I agree or not, the Lord of Red Sand will come over there, right?" Qin looked at Abedo and asked.

"Probably so."

Abedo nodded. Based on his understanding of Wang Daoyi, Wang Daoyi would definitely take action regardless of whether Qin agreed or not.

It's just that if you agree, you can act with Mond. If you don't agree, Chisha will act on his own.

Qin understood: "In that case, then agree. I will write a letter and forward it to the Grand Leader. The Grand Leader will naturally accept the Lord of Red Sand's... help."

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

Qin took out the letter paper and immediately wrote a letter, describing in detail about the Lord of Red Sand and the friendly relationship between Mondstadt and the Lord of Red Sand.

After finishing writing, Qin handed the letter to Albedo: "I think you have a way to deliver this letter to the Lord of Red Sand."

Abedo nodded: "Leave it to me."

As technology advanced, he and Nikolaid were able to stay in touch.

Just sending a letter, it can be done.

then,

But half a day later,

The Lord of Red Sand obtained the letter delivered by Nicored in the temple.

"Captain Qin agreed to your request and gave this letter to Grand Commander Falga, who will share the information with us."

Nicored handed over the letter and said.

On the throne of God, the Lord of Red Sand stretched out his hand, and the letter flew into his hand.

He had no intention of opening it and simply nodded: "Okay, thank Albedo for me."

Nicorette nodded: "Then I'll leave first."

He still had experiments to do and had no time to chat with the Lord of Red Sand.

The Lord of Red Sand did not hold back and let Nicored go.
