[For the sake of concealment, there are not many rangers, only fifteen in total, only one-tenth of the number of the exploration team. However, these people are excellent rangers who have been dealing with bounty hunters for many years. In addition, you do not need to confront the exploration team head-on, so these rangers are enough. ]
[You followed the exploration team all the way. Twenty days after leaving Mondstadt, you arrived at the outer area of Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. You will rest here for a whole day today and officially enter the snow mountain tomorrow.]
[The Witch of the Gun had already agreed with Eberhardt that after entering the snowy mountain area, the rangers would hunt down the lone members of the expedition team one by one, and Eberhardt's mission was to lure Ingbert to continue moving deeper into the snowy mountain as the expedition team was losing members, and to leave clues on the road in case you lost the expedition team halfway.]
After seeing this message, Tsumugi Kujo left Qin's body, said hello to Qin and walked into the tent, and Qin followed closely behind. This scene made the peeping Ying and Paimon whisper to each other non-stop.
It's obvious that Kujo Tsumugi and Koto are having an affair!
Ying's eyes suddenly brightened as she thought about how to teach Kujo Tsumugi a lesson next.
Tsumugi Kujo entered immersion mode after entering the tent.
In a situation like this that could be a side quest, Tsumugi Kujo decided not to miss it.
"so cold……"
As soon as she entered the immersive mode, Tsumugi Kujo couldn't help but tighten her clothes.
Although Kujo Tsumugi and the others were ready to enter the snowy mountains, the life of civilians in this era was not really good. All they had prepared were some cloth clothes, and they didn't even have cotton clothes. If they entered the snowy mountains in such clothes, they would easily die suddenly.
However, Vanessa also took this into consideration. One of the rangers she sent was the owner of the Fire God's Eye. With him, she could ensure that her group would not be frozen to death.
How miserable... Why would the simulated self do such a thankless task...
Kujo Tsumugi sighed and followed the team into the snowy mountains.
During the first few days after entering the snow mountain, Kujo Tsumugi and her companions did not take any action. After all, they were attacked right after entering the snow mountain. Even a fool should know that they were being targeted. Kujo Tsumugi and her companions followed Ingbert and his companions for five full days, until the early morning of the sixth day, when they finally took action.
On this day, there was thick fog in the snow-capped mountains, but the idiot Ingbert dared to continue moving forward in the fog. What a fool he was. If he didn't take action when there was such a perfect opportunity, he would have wasted such good weather.
Kujo Tsumugi and her team began to launch sneak attacks on those expedition members who fell behind at the end of the team. At the end of the day, they reaped a lot of rewards. More than a dozen exploration team members fell silently in the snow.
"Father, there are thirteen people missing from the exploration team today."
Tsumugi Kujo and her companions acted very secretly, and even Eberhardt did not notice it. However, he could probably guess that the disappearance of the dozen soldiers was caused by the Witch of Gun, and his task was to do everything possible to prevent Ingbert from becoming suspicious.
"Oh, where did they go?" Hearing Eberhart's words, Ingbert put down the hot soup in his hand.
"They probably took advantage of the thick fog to escape. After all, not everyone in the exploration team is willing to come to the dangerous snowy mountains."
Erberhart said casually, pretending not to care.
"Hmph! Those untouchables!" Ingbert's face was as cold as frost, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "When we return to Mondstadt, we will hang all those who escaped from the team. Eberhardt, you will do it."
"I understand, Father."
Seeing that Ingbert had no doubts, Erberhard felt a little relieved.
The next day, the team continued to advance deeper into the snow-capped mountains. In order to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to escape again, Ingbert organized each of the remaining soldiers into small teams. Members of the team supervised each other to prevent others from escaping.
This method was indeed very effective, and there were no more deserters for several days. However, just as Ingbert began to feel proud of his wise decision, he was surprised to find that the soldiers began to disappear again, and in groups.
When the third team was small, Ingbert could no longer sit still. At this moment, Eberhardt found him and told him a piece of news that was not sure whether it was good or bad.
Just now, the soldiers on patrol were ambushed by a group of rangers. Five soldiers died, but a ranger was also successfully killed. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party quickly retreated. Obviously, the soldiers who disappeared before were quietly dealt with by the rangers.
"Ranger...those rats outside Mondstadt?" Ingbert frowned when he heard that. If it was a head-on battle, the soldiers of the exploration team would certainly not be afraid of those rangers, but the problem was that those rangers only knew how to fight guerrilla warfare and would never engage in a head-on battle.
At this moment, Engelbert had a flash of inspiration and noticed the point that he had previously overlooked.
"How did those rangers follow us for so many days?"
You know, the snowy mountain area is not a flat land like Mondstadt. In the past few days, Ingbert's team has been wandering in the valley. If it weren't for the map, even he, who has rich adventure experience, might not be confident that he can get out of the valley. However, those rangers can accurately find their group in the complex terrain of the snowy mountains. In other words...
"There's a traitor in the team, secretly providing clues about us to the rangers!"
After reaching this conclusion, Engelbert felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear.
"So all we have to do is find the traitor in the team and get rid of those rangers, and then we can continue our adventure."
To be honest, this was a very dangerous decision, and Ingbert understood this, but even so, he was willing to take the risk and continue into the snow-capped mountains.
Perhaps because he inherited the pioneering passion of his ancestors, Ingbert loved adventure since he was a child. However, after becoming the head of the Lawrence family, he could only stay in Mondstadt most of the time. Ingbert had not left Mondstadt for adventure for a long time. As he got older, his declining physical strength reminded him that he had passed the golden age of adventure. However, Eberhardt deduced from ancient books that there was an ancient country covered with ice and snow hidden in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, which aroused Ingbert's passion for adventure. He planned to conduct one last expedition before he was completely old, so he formed a team and entered the snow mountain.
Ingbert has made plans for the future. After this adventure is over, he will give Erberhard the surname "Lawrence", which means that Erberhard will completely get rid of his illegitimate status and become the next head of the Lawrence family. Ingbert plans to retire and enjoy his old age.
...Of course, all of this planning is done after returning to Mond.
Precisely because this was the last adventure, Ingbert was unwilling to return to Mond, but would rather continue to move forward despite the danger.
"Eberhardt, you are responsible for finding the traitor in the team and eliminating him."
Ingbert intends to train Erberhard's abilities.
"I... understand, father. I will go back first then."
Erberhardt put one hand behind his back and pinched his arm, which was necessary to keep himself from laughing.
It seems that Ingbert is really too old and his brain is not working well. He did not give such an important task to his confidant, but instead gave it to his illegitimate son.
Inwardly, Erberhard laughed at Engelbert.
For nobles, their confidants are more trustworthy than their blood relatives. After all, blood relatives may target their position and stab them in the back, but confidants trained since childhood will hardly betray them.
Forget about the blood-thicker-than-water kinship, as that is a joke to the nobles. The evidence is that every time the position of the head of the family changes, there will be a bloody storm within the family. Why did Ingbert, a guy who loves adventure, become the head of Lawrence's family?
The reason was that all the other heirs died in various conspiracies and intrigues. In the final count, it was found that Ingbert, who was adventuring outside, was the last remaining heir. He then became the head of Lawrence's family.
However, perhaps it was precisely because Ingbert had not experienced the cruel killing of his own kind that he still had a glimmer of fantasy about family affection. From the time Parsifal left Mond a few years ago until now, Ingbert had never doubted Eberhart, who had benefited the most.
In this way, although Engelbert guessed that there was a traitor in the team, he gave the task of finding the traitor to Erberhard, which was a big mistake. In Erberhard's frame-up, most of Engelbert's confidants were labeled as "traitors" and quietly executed.
Of course, this could not be done without the cooperation of Tsumugi Kujo and the others. After Eberhardt eliminated most of Ingbert's cronies, he told Tsumugi Kujo and the others about this matter through secret means. Tsumugi Kujo and the others also cooperated very well and stopped attacking the exploration team, successfully giving Ingbert the illusion that the traitor had been eliminated.
At this time, the exploration team had lost one third of its members, while Kujo Tsumugi had one dead and one injured. If we only look at the casualty ratio, Kujo Tsumugi has a huge advantage.
Since Ingbert believed that the traitor had been eliminated, the defense would inevitably be relaxed. Kujo Tsumugi and the Witch of the Gun decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the exploration team.
One night, you sneaked in front of the exploration team under the cover of darkness and ambushed them. When the exploration team passed through the valley, the rangers who had been ambushing for a long time suddenly appeared on the cliffs on both sides and threw down the stones they had prepared. For a while, the valley was filled with wailing. After throwing all the stones, the rangers took out their bows and arrows and killed the remaining exploration team soldiers one by one.
After seeing that Ingbert and Eberhardt were unharmed in the two waves of attacks and escaped from the valley with some of their confidants, Kujo Tsumugi became a little anxious. He picked up the spear and rushed forward without caring about the Witch of Spear's obstruction.
"Father, here!"
Under the guidance of Eberhard, Ingbert and his group escaped into the intricate ice cave, with Kujo Tsumugi chasing closely behind.
"I don't want to suffer the cold in the snowy mountains anymore. Ingbert, please let me kill me so I can leave quickly!"
At this time, Kujo Tsumugi had been wearing cloth clothes and entering the snowy mountains for more than half a month. If there had not been someone with the Fire God's Eye in the team, she would probably have been frozen to death.
You have to know that as the second daughter of the Kujo family, Kujo Tsumugi has never had such a miserable life since she traveled to the continent of Teyvat, so she is about to reach her limit. If the sunk cost was not too heavy, Kujo Tsumugi would have given up the side quest and exited the immersive mode long ago. Now that she finally sees the opportunity to get rid of Ingbert, how could Kujo Tsumugi give up?
"Tsk, that person behind you is really troublesome, go and deal with her."
Ingbert decisively ordered his trusted men to hold back Kujo Tsumugi.
And those trusted followers also followed the order faithfully, lined up in a row in the ice cave, and blocked Kujo Tsumabu's route.
"Get out of here, miss! I'm in a hurry!"
Seeing that these soldiers were standing in front of him without knowing the consequences, the furious Kujo Tsumugi directly took out the Rock Fury. Dozens of fist-sized rock elemental balls instantly appeared behind him and flew out directly.
It has to be said that human potential is forced out. If it were in the past, it would be impossible for Kujo Tsumugi to condense dozens of rock element groups in an instant. But at this time, due to the eagerness of the pursuer, Kujo Tsumugi actually broke through his own limit invisibly and unknowingly raised his strength to a new level.
However, at this moment, Tsumugi Kujo didn't care about these little things at all. All she was thinking about now was how to kill Engelbert as soon as possible and then exit the immersion mode. Tsumugi Kujo couldn't stay in this damn place for even a second.
"Click... click click..."
Just when Kujo Tsumugi was about to continue the pursuit, due to her previous attack, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground below the ice cave, and as luck would have it, Kujo Tsumugi was standing in the center of the spider-web cracks.
Even though Kujo Tsumugi was so anxious that she almost lost her mind, she calmed down instantly when she saw this scene.
Don't be in a hurry, lift your foot slowly and slowly, then step down gently, and you will be able to leave...
The moment Kujo Tsumugi's feet landed, the surrounding ground could no longer support her body and the ground shattered into more than a dozen pieces.
"Fuck! Why?!"
Tsumugi Kujo only had time to curse out this sentence before her body was pulled downward at a high speed by gravity and fell into the ice cave below...
Fortunately, Kujo Tsumugi's death did not end there. She just hit her head and passed out during the fall.
Ten minutes later, Tsumugi Kujo rubbed his head and looked at the surrounding environment blankly.
"What bad luck... I actually fell from up there..."
Kujo Tsumugi looked up at the place where she fell. It was more than ten meters high and it was impossible for an ordinary person to climb up.
Fortunately, Kujo Tsumugi is not an ordinary person. It is easy for her to use the wrath of rock to create a rock elemental creature or to let the puppet Tsumugi take her up. However, it is impossible to chase Ingbert. The terrain inside the ice cave is more complicated than outside. Once lost, even the puppet Tsumugi cannot catch up with him.
Just as Kujo Tsumabuki was about to go up, suddenly, a strange stone pillar came into her sight.
"Huh? This is..."
Chapter 103 Death of Ingbert
What appeared in front of him was an angular stone pillar with strange patterns engraved on it. As a qualified Genshin Impact player, Kujo Tsumugi recognized at a glance that the stone pillar in front of him was the Candle of the Ruins that eliminated the cold value for players in the snow mountain area.
The real Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is naturally impossible to have such stone pillars everywhere like in the game. This is the first relic candle that Kujo Tsumugi encountered after entering the snow mountain area.
Its appearance not only means that Kujo Tsumugi can finally eliminate her own coldness, but also indicates that Kujo Tsumugi has found the ruins of the Kingdom of Findnir.
"Ah...alive!"
After searching on the Candle of Relics, Tsumugi Kujo quickly found the switch of the Candle of Relics and turned it on. The heat emitted by the Candle of Relics bathed her body and made her feel like she was reborn.
I don’t know what technology the relic candle uses, but it can still be used normally even after a thousand years. One can’t help but marvel at the wisdom of our ancestors.
Humans during the Demon War had mastered such a unique technology, but thousands of years later, humans didn't even know what the Candle of Relics was. It was obvious that with the passage of time, the development of human civilization should have gradually progressed, but the Seven Midgards on the continent of Teyvat seemed to have stopped in time. After thousands of years, the entire civilization had made almost no progress.
Take Liyue as an example. Those merchants have been doing business for thousands of years, but even the sprouts of capitalism have not been born. The society is as stable as a stagnant pool of water. It is simply out of character.
Even the prosperous Liyue is like this, let alone Mondstadt and Inazuma. Inazuma can still explain it with reasons like "it's difficult for island countries to develop", but Mondstadt's development is so unbelievably slow that people can't understand what they have been doing for thousands of years.
Feeling that the coldness in her body had almost subsided, Kujo Tsumugi stretched lazily, took out the puppet Tsumugi, and controlled the puppet Tsumugi to go deeper.
It's a rare opportunity to see the ruins of the Kingdom of Findenir, it would be a shame not to go and see it.
The doll Tsumugi braved the severe cold and moved forward in the ice cave. After walking for about an hour, some abandoned stone houses began to appear in front of them. It seemed that they had entered a residential area from here.
"The Kingdom of Findenir is quite big." The puppet Tsumugi muttered to himself.
I remember that there were a lot of ruins of the Findnir Kingdom on the top of the snow-capped mountain in the game, but now the place where the puppet Tsumugi is located is probably halfway up the snow-capped mountain, which means that from here to the top of the snow-capped mountain, it was all part of the former Findnir Kingdom.
Even though a thousand years have passed, it can be seen from the remaining ruins that the Kingdom of Findenir must have been a rich and prosperous country at that time.
Continuing along the ruins, the puppet Tsumugi suddenly felt a sense of danger coming from the front.
This is really interesting. You know, the puppet Tsumugi is very powerful. In the last simulation, she was able to cooperate with Cripps to kill the dragon Ursa. It is estimated that even Vanessa at this stage may not be able to beat the puppet Tsumugi. But with such a powerful strength, she actually feels danger?
The puppet Tsumugi narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately became alert, leaving the main road and moving forward in the alleys between the ruins.
After walking for another twenty minutes, Tsumugi saw the source of the sense of crisis - it was a group of humans, but they were not the escaped Ingbert and Eberhardt, but a group of people wearing uniform white uniforms. The source of the sense of crisis was not those humans, but the ruins guards, or "tillage machines" following behind those humans.
The Kanreya people believe that land should not be plowed with farm tools, but should be fought for with blood and flesh. Therefore, they named the mass-produced combat machinery "tillage machine", which is the ruins guard that can be seen everywhere in the game.
The Kanreyans...what are they doing here?
Tsumugi roughly counted and found that there were about 100 humans in total, and there were about 30 Ruins Guards. It was no wonder that such a terrifying number made Tsumugi feel a sense of crisis. You know, in the game, the four Ruins Guards in Guyun Pavilion are the nightmare of new players, but here there are 30 of them!
These Kanreya people were resting in their camp. Tsumugi felt that now was not the time to alert the enemy, so he quietly lurked in the dark and followed the group of people.
……
On the other side, the Gun Witches also found Kujo Tsumugi who fell into the ice cave. They asked the owner of the Divine Eye in the team to take out a rope from the space, and the group quickly pulled Kujo Tsumugi up.
“Tsumugi! You can’t act like this again next time!” The Witch of the Gun was really angry this time. She put her hands on her hips, her beautiful eyes filled with anger. “Do you know how dangerous your behavior is? Even if our ambush is a complete success, there are still so many confidants around Ingbert. If…if something happens to you…”
When she finished speaking, the Gun Witch's voice became a little choked.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault."
In response to the Spear Witch's concern, Tsumugi Kujo responded somewhat awkwardly.
Tsumugi Kujo is not good at responding to other people's kindness, perhaps because few people really care about her since she was a child. Except for her sister, Kujo Sara, Tsumugi Kujo didn't have anyone who could be called a "friend" in her childhood. She spent her entire childhood in loneliness, which also made her develop a withdrawn personality. Later, she formed a hunter unit and hunted the Fatui everywhere on Narukami Island. The long-term killing slowly distorted Tsumugi Kujo's personality, and finally became the disliked personality she has today.
"I promise that I will never do such a dangerous thing again next time."
Tsumugi Kujo used her method of acting like a spoiled child, hugging the Witch of the Gun and rubbing against her.
"You think if you apologize in this way I will... Wait, don't rub there, the rangers are right next to it!"
The Witch of the Spear blushed at Tsumugi Kujo's little move. She looked around and was relieved to see that the rangers around her didn't notice them. Then she whispered viciously in Tsumugi Kujo's ear: "When this is over... I will definitely take revenge."
