Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

As things stand, everything is under control, but...

"What exactly is Master doing?"

Su Ming was silent for a few seconds. So why hasn't the real protagonist, Sister Yingzi, arrived yet? We mean, she can't still be on her way on horseback at such a crucial moment, right?

At this moment, Ying was still on her way on horseback... no, on foot.

Ying gazed at the boundless sea and fell into a long silence.

"Paimon, didn't you say you knew the way?"

"Ying, you didn't tell me it could go this far off."

At the top of Star-Picking Cliff, Ying and Paimon looked at each other, both feeling somewhat awkward.

If Su Ming saw these two, he would probably say something like, "Aren't you two rushing off to fight in the Abyss?"

Chapter 085 Are you serious about taking half a step back?

If I remember correctly, the normal sequence of events is that Luminous meets Wendy and Dvalin, and then unexpectedly discovers her own key ability to purify, thus continuing to advance the main storyline.

just now.

Master.

They've disappeared!

Su Mingren was somewhat numb. He hadn't expected Yingzi to be so unreliable. Although the culprit behind this situation was the Hermit himself, did that mean the main storyline could also be affected?

He thought that no matter how much he messed around, it wouldn't directly affect the main storyline, but Ying didn't even show up. What should he do next?

Will the Knights still have a reason to pay attention to Ying then?

Su Ming remained silent for a few seconds. If things really came to that point, he would have no choice but to write a letter of complaint to the Knights... no, a letter of recommendation.

He's just a passing righteous enforcer, after all; he has to do his part to protect the peace of Mondstadt!

As I said before, the person who opened their heart was a woman; what does that have to do with the hermit?

The Hermit has completed his mission in Mondstadt, and the Queen hasn't assigned him any further tasks, so he can basically let himself go. Even if he were to personally dress the Queen in white stockings now, there would be no reason for him to be criticized. Don't ask, the answer is freedom.

It's normal to feel a bit more free after spending a long time in Mondstadt, right?

Su Ming peeked out from behind the tree and saw Wendy and Dvalin chatting happily. He figured that Yingzi wouldn't be able to come, so he simply started writing a letter of recommendation in advance.

Greetings, dear Knights of Favonius.

Don't worry about my identity; I understand the difficulties you are facing.

Are you still struggling to completely resolve the dragon plague?

Are you troubled by the inability to find the mastermind behind the murder?

Are you still wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly?

Now, don't hesitate, take action! The Ultimate Traveler, instead of 998, take it home for just 10 Primogems!

Purification is easy for anyone; the mastermind behind the scenes will deliver himself to our doorstep, leading us straight to the final battleground!

Go immediately to room 418 of the Goethe Hotel; the path to salvation lies there.

An anonymous, righteous passerby.

that's all.

"No... this person is sick."

Kaiya commented above, saying he simply couldn't understand why such an outrageous letter would appear in the Knights' complaint mailbox. How bored must this person be to do something like this?

But when she thought about the recent high-profile robbery of the white stockings, Kaiya suddenly felt that this was nothing.

"This guy knows the specifics of the Dragon Disaster..."

Kaeya pondered for a moment, deciding that it couldn't be treated as a simple prank, since the Knights didn't have much information about the Dragon Disaster and were still in the exploratory stage.

At this moment, a guy who knew more about the Dragon Disaster than they did suddenly appeared. It was hard not to suspect his identity; he might be connected to the mastermind behind it all.

Kaeya is always decisive, and what she needs to do now is to go to the so-called room 418 to find the "Premium Traveler" mentioned in the envelope.

Whether it's useful or not, at least it can provide more intelligence, which is enough. It's much better than continuing to act haphazardly without any clues.

What the Knights Order lacks most right now is simply a clear goal.

Once a breakthrough is found, forces can be concentrated to stop the dragon scourge before it occurs and protect Mondstadt as much as possible.

Goethe Hotel...

Kaiya remembered that more than half a month ago, the place had been rented for a whole year by the envoy from Winter, and the only person living there could be Miss Antalina.

Who exactly is the traveler mentioned in the envelope?

Kaiya couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. There were more and more troublesome things. The Wind Flower Festival was only four days away from its official start, but given the current situation, it was questionable whether it could continue.

The safety of the people is always the top priority, and in the worst-case scenario, evacuation preparations may be made in advance.

Kaiya stopped outside the Goethe Hotel. What came into view was a variety of white hairs fluttering in the wind under the bright sunlight.

"?"

Kaiya fell silent, then stepped back and turned to leave.

This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Anyone who can stay in a hotel like this is no normal person; they're downright abnormal.

"Are you serious about taking half a step back? Such a small movement, yet it causes so much damage!" Su Ming hummed a song as he stopped Kaiya, his face full of sincerity. "Brother, I see you have a rosy complexion; something good must be happening to you today."

Kaiya's lips twitched slightly as she began to wonder if coming to the Goethe Hotel was a mistake; this guy clearly wasn't a normal person.

The aura of perversion was practically overflowing from Mondstadt.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" The sweet-voiced, adorable girl pushed Su Ming aside and said with a smile.

Kaiya breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, a normal person had appeared. This beautiful girl was someone he could communicate with normally, at least not some white-stockinged pervert.

"I'm looking for the traveler in room 418. Has anyone seen him/her?"

Kaiya stated his purpose briefly and made his request straightforward, hoping to find some clues regardless of whether the so-called traveler could help.

Linglan blinked, glanced at Su Ming, and then smiled slightly. "That traveler should be back soon; he just went out not long ago."

Although she didn't know what good (perverted) things Su Ming had done, the tacit understanding they had recently developed allowed her to give the perfect answer.

"Well... I'll wait here for a while then."

Kaiya nodded slightly. It was almost dusk, so even if they waited, it wouldn't be too long, unless the traveler spent the night in the wilderness.

Who would choose to spend the night in the wilderness when they have a hotel room?

Haha.

"Waaaaaah! My soft hotel bed, my delicious meal, my hot bath—all gone!"

Paimon let out a mournful cry that would break the hearts of all who heard it and bring tears to their eyes. He lay on the haystack with a face full of despair. None of his family understood. He had just accidentally passed through a purple tunnel and arrived at a small island in the sea, the location of which was unknown.

There was nothing but a strange circular archway, and all around was the vast ocean. How was we going to get back?

Paimon is already imagining a future where he lives as a primitive man fishing on an island—no way!

Ying looked up, her face full of speechlessness and numbness. Why was her luck always so bad lately? She had inexplicably ended up in a place like this. Who knew how she was going to get back!

Is it like being able to walk on water with light-footed skills?

She simply couldn't do that!

Even with the Wings of Wind, they would just quickly fall into the water and wouldn't be able to fly to land.

She also lacked the Eye of the Ice Element, so she couldn't freeze herself across the sea and could only watch the azure ocean longingly.

"Someone, please save me—!"

"Please come and save me!"

"Help me!"

"help me!"

"help me!"

"I!"

Ying sighed, sat down on the beach, and fell into a state of deep contemplation.

Chapter 086: It’s very simple to fill it out next time

In order to allow the Fools' slacking off to continue in a pleasant way, Su Ming decided to help the pitiful Ying and bring the main storyline back to the most correct route.

It shouldn't be so far off course that Dvalin is already strolling around Mondstadt while Luminous is still playing cards with Paimon in front of the Abyss.

That would be too outrageous. Su Ming couldn't let that happen. The plot could be outrageous, but it couldn't be bizarre.

Su Ming was afraid that by the time he arrived in Liyue and finished admiring the assassination of the Emperor, Yingzi would still be lost in Mondstadt. Now, the Fatui's plan could be said to be completely unimpeded.

Goodness, the more I think about it, the more something seems off.

But upon closer reflection, this is also for the sake of Her Majesty the Queen. As the Ice Queen of Winter, how could the task of seizing the power of the gods be smooth sailing? That would not be in line with Her Majesty the Queen's style.

As a noble empress, there should naturally be a level of difficulty befitting her status. Collecting all the Hearts of God so easily would be far too tedious.

As the Empress's loyal subordinate, Su Ming decided to share the burden of the great Empress by slightly increasing the difficulty of the plan.

It wasn't at all about making it easier to slack off later on; it had nothing to do with any thoughts that would be contrary to the image of an executive officer. It was simply about protecting Her Majesty the Queen's dignity and the glory of Winter.

then.

At this moment, standing before the abyss, Ying held two playing cards between her index fingers and softly exclaimed, "A pair of 2s!"

"I can't afford it!"

Paimon blinked, staring at the pair of threes in his hand, and fell silent.

Ying chuckled and shoved Paimon's hand away, then said smugly, "So you're just a pair of little scoundrels."
