[You said you were going to gather intelligence, but neither you nor Ketzlein had any intention of taking any action.]
[…I think talking without doing is a bad habit that needs to be corrected.]
[“Indeed.” Katzlein agreed, still with no intention of leaving the bed.]
[“Forget it, let’s take a day off today. The weather is too cold.” You tightened the quilt around you, but felt a pair of hands reaching into your clothes through the gap.]
[“If you feel cold, do some exercises to warm your body.” Katzlein said this with a blank expression on her face, but you could see a hint of joy in her eyes. Then, she didn’t give you time to refuse and started “preparing” directly.]
[As a result, Katzlein's goal of warming you up was not achieved. Although you did sweat all over during the aerobic exercise, the water stains that appeared inexplicably wet the quilt and sheets. So when you finished your exercise and were about to rest, you noticed that the soaked quilt and sheets no longer played a role in keeping you warm.]
[Katesline does have a set of dry bedding, but...]
[“Tsumugi, come in.” Katzlein lifts a corner of her quilt and invites you in. ]
[“I’m not going in, or else even our spare blankets will get wet!” You rolled your eyes at Katzline. You didn’t believe she could behave herself.]
[“Oh, right, the holy relic!”]
[You suddenly remember the set of Naberis Heart Relics. Although that set of relics is not very warm, it is better than nothing.]
[So you put on your clothes and put the holy relics on the outside, and then the whole Naberish suit glowed slightly. ]
【! ! ! 】
[You and Ketzlain immediately stopped arguing. Master Liuyunjiefeng said that this is a sign that the remaining holy relic, the Heart of Naberis, is nearby.]
[You packed up and relaxed, and immediately walked out of the hotel to search in Winterfell. Although your glowing birdman suit attracted the attention of many passers-by, you didn't pay any attention to the people around you, and focused on finding your target.]
[The closer you get to the Heart of Naberis, the brighter the light emitted by this set of holy relics becomes. By observing the strength of the light of the holy relics, you and Ketzlain determined the location of the last remaining Heart of Naberis—the Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Winter.]
[“When you stood outside the palace and looked up at the magnificent palace on the mountain, you and Katzlein fell into deep despair.”]
[Although both of you have skills far beyond those of ordinary people, neither of you is confident that you can sneak into the heavily guarded palace without being discovered.]
[Therefore, when you and Ketzlain found out the location of the Heart of Naberis, you didn't feel happy at all and returned to the hotel in despair.]
[It's impossible to sneak in. The guards of the palace are not StarCraft players. How can you not be discovered wearing a glowing birdman suit? Even if you successfully sneak into the palace and bypass the guards, but... what about the God of Ice? ]
[Even if you can avoid the guards, what will you do if you are discovered by the Ice God? ]
[You and Katzline both fell into confusion after returning to the room, not knowing what the future holds for you.]
[40 years old: In the blink of an eye, you have already been in the Kingdom of Winter for a year. ]
[Although you clearly know that you can't find the Heart of Naberis, but when you think about what you have experienced in the past ten years, you still can't just return to Liyue in disgrace, so you and Ketzlaine settled down in the Kingdom of Winter.]
[During this year, you used alchemy to make goods for sale. With excellent quality, the goods you sold were well received and attracted many people from the Kingdom of Winter to buy them. In just one year, you became famous in the Kingdom of Winter and became a small rich man.]
[And the product you made is also very simple - it is a bow for hunting. ]
[Due to the location of the country of Zhidong in the snowy mountains, it is impossible to grow crops. Most people in the country are hunters, so the importance of a good bow to the people of Zhidong is self-evident.]
[Of course, you can’t make a bow without the guidance of the archery master, Katzlein. Otherwise, you who don’t know how to shoot arrows at all can’t make such a well-received bow. ]
[One day, when you were looking towards the direction of the Solstice Palace as usual and wondering whether you should take Ketzlain back to Mondstadt, Ketzlain found you and told you an important message.]
[When she was searching for monsters in Winterfell, she found a cave to hide because of a sudden snowstorm, and found a body that had been frozen into an ice sculpture inside.]
[“It’s just a corpse, what’s the point of worrying about it?” You didn’t take Katzlein’s words seriously.]
[“But the clothes he was wearing looked very much like the style of the Kingdom of Kanreya, and he also seemed to be an alchemist. There were many alchemical tools in that cave.” Although Katzlein had never been to Kanreya, you had told her a lot about the Kingdom of Kanreya over the years, so she had some knowledge of various things in Kanreya.]
[“Oh? Really?” After hearing this, you sighed, “Then I’ll go and help collect his body.”]
[That Kanreya alchemist might be your former colleague, you thought to yourself. Under the guidance of Ketzlein, you came to the cave, and after seeing the corpse, you fell silent.]
[There is an old saying in Liyue that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. But now it seems that this saying is not true at all. ]
[You finally understand why the Kingdom of Winter was the only one among the seven kingdoms in the mortal world that did not suffer from the dark disaster, because your apprentice was killed by others before he even started to cause trouble.]
[“Albedo…” You looked at your apprentice’s corpse and whispered his name, then sighed, and suddenly a sense of melancholy arose in your heart.]
[Skirk and Albedo both left before you. Perhaps you are the only person in the world who has a deep understanding of the Kingdom of Kanria and is still alive today.]
[A brilliant kingdom was destroyed by a disaster from heaven, and even those who knew of its glorious past died one by one.]
[Thinking of this, you feel very uncomfortable. You also think of how you have been running around in various countries all these years just to collect the Naberish Relics to revive Silkok. In the end, you finally found the Heart of Naberish, but you couldn't get it. You feel tired and feel that you have been wasting your time all these years. ]
[You looked down at Albedo's body. His body had been completely frozen by the hard ice. You and Ketzlein were unable to move, so you could only make do with burying his body with snow and burying him in this foreign land.]
[After burying Albedo's body, you began to carefully observe the interior of the cave. It was obvious that this was once his laboratory. He must have been killed by someone who broke in while doing experiments. You wanted to find Albedo's research log, hoping to get a glimpse of Albedo's final mental journey, but you couldn't find it anywhere, and you didn't know whether it had been eroded by the wind and snow or taken away by someone else.]
[“Let’s go.” After finishing all these things, you said. Katzlein also noticed that you were in a low mood, so he responded and followed you.]
[After returning to the inn in Solstice, you began to seriously discuss with Ketzlaine whether to return to Mondstadt and live a dull daily life together, and Ketzlaine's answer to you was "Wherever you go, I will go."]
[Although you had already guessed Katzlein's answer, you were still very happy with her answer. You didn't want her to continue to suffer in the snow with you, so you decided to return to Mondstadt.]
[Just as you were packing your luggage, there was a knock on the door of the room. You opened the door and saw a strong middle-aged man with a thick pale beard standing in front of the door. After seeing his appearance clearly, you opened your mouth wide and rubbed your eyes in disbelief. ]
[“Piero?!” You called out the name of the person in front of you in surprise.]
【And Piero didn't expect to meet you here, and frowned slightly, "Gold? You're still alive?"】
[Piero is an unsuccessful minister in the Kingdom of Canrea. Because his ideas are not in line with the king, he has always been neglected by the king, but he has always been loyal to the king.]
[As mentioned before, since they have no demon god to protect them, the Kanreyan people are very anxious about the safety of their country. In this context, many Kanreyan people rely on their own experience and knowledge to put forward different opinions and submit them to the king for decision-making.]
[Piero's idea is to unite the countries of Teyvat, led by Kanrea, so that there is no need to be afraid even if Sky Island attacks. ]
[The king believes that the seven nations are all dogs of Sky Island and are not trustworthy. He believes that he must create a mechanical demon god belonging to Kanreya in order to protect his country. ]
[The king and Piero's ideas conflict, but Piero is a veteran of the previous dynasty and has great prestige among the ministers. The king does not want to make enemies with him, so he came up with a solution, saying that it was your idea to create a mechanical demon god, and the king just supports your idea. ]
[The king successfully used this method to make Piero and you quarrel. At that time, almost everyone in Canrea knew that you and Piero were not on good terms.]
In the eyes of the king, this is just his way of diverting conflict, but for you, this is a disaster from heaven. 】
[I am just an employee, why do powerful officials hate me for no reason? ]
[However, fortunately, you are very favored by the king, and Piero is also a very upright person, so he did not attack you behind your back. ]
[You thought he died in the capital of Kanreya like everyone else, but you didn't expect that he survived and that you two met.]
[“I didn’t expect there are still survivors of Kanreya… Come in and talk.” You sighed. Although you two didn’t get along before, now that the Kanreya Kingdom has become history, there is really no reason for the two of you to be hostile. ]
[Sure enough, Piero came in, sat on the sofa, and told you about his story.]
[“I had prepared a lot of words, but since it’s
[In the previous disaster, Pierre was saved by the Ice God in the turmoil and then taken to the winter. Through the Ice God's words, he finally understood why the Seven Gods came and destroyed Kanriya - because it was the order of heaven.]
[Pierre noticed the dissatisfaction with Heaven in the Ice God's tone, so he used all kinds of rhetoric to finally make the Ice God agree to secretly accumulate power and become an enemy of Heaven. This is also the reason why the Winter Fools were established.]
[Originally, Pierre came here because he heard that there was a skilled craftsman who could make top-quality weapons. He came here to discuss business, but he didn't expect to meet you here.]
[After listening to Pierre's words, you were also filled with emotion, and told him about your experiences over the years. Silkock was trapped in the earth veins, and your apprentice Albedo was dead. You are currently working hard to revive Silkock. ]
[After listening to your words, Piero continued to say that he was not the only Canreya here.]
[The king's son, the prince of Kanria, and Dainsleb are also currently staying in the Kingdom of Winter.]
Chapter 173 The Curse of Kanria
[“Is Deinsleb here too?” Hearing Piero’s words, a smile appeared on your face. It turns out that you are not alone in this world. ]
[“Although it is still here... it will be gone soon.” Piero’s tone was filled with regret. “Perhaps you don’t know yet, but since the fall of the Kingdom of Canreya, God has cursed the Canreya people, turning the Canreya people who survived by chance into Hillcholls.”]
[“I know this, and then what?”]
[“The prince and I used special medicine to cure the curse, but when we reunited with Dainsleb, the special medicine had run out.”]
[Piero said with regret that if he had known that Dainsreb was still alive, he would rather give up the drug treatment and give it to Dainsreb. If he, who is known as the "Sword of the Last Light", were to take revenge on the Seven Gods, his chances of winning would definitely be much higher than his own.]
[“He is still relying on his own willpower to resist the curse, but judging from the current situation, he won’t be able to hold on for much longer.” Piero told you about Dainsleb’s physical condition.]
[“Can I go see him? I might be able to help.”]
[You remember that you still have the Intivat flower containing Ying's blood. It should be no problem to use that flower to temporarily suppress the earth vein energy in Dainsreb's body. Even if it can't completely cure the disease, it can alleviate his symptoms a little.]
[“Really? Then let’s go.” Hearing that Deinsleb could still be saved, even Piero, who was known for his calmness, couldn’t help but get excited. ]
[“Well, wait, I’ll pack my things.” You left this sentence and walked into the bedroom, where you saw Katzline holding your panties with both hands, putting it in front of his nose and sniffing the smell.]
[“No, it’s not like that!” Even though Katzlein is a nobody, he couldn’t hold back when you bumped him into such a socially dead scene. He waved his hands around in front of him and started to talk nonsense. “I just couldn’t help myself. No! I couldn’t help myself… No! Yes, I was possessed by a ghost for a while! It was just a sudden whim! That’s right! That’s it!”]
[You pursed your lips. Although Ketzlaine's behavior gave you a huge shock, you and she are already an old couple. So although Ketzlaine's behavior is abnormal, it is still within your tolerance. "I came in just to tell you that I met friends from the Kingdom of Kanria here. We don't have to go back to Mondstadt for the time being."]
[You take out the Intivat flower and the Naberis relic from your luggage, and look back at Ketzlaine, "I should be able to enter the Winter Palace today. I'll try to get the Heart of Naberis out. Don't worry, there's no danger."]
[After you gave him a brief instruction, you found Piero again.]
[“Okay, let’s go.” You said to Piero.]
[Afterwards, under Piero's guidance, you entered the Winter Palace unimpeded, and successfully went deep into the palace and found the Deinsleb Room inside the palace.]
[When you open the door, you see Dainsleb lying on the bed. He is much thinner than when you first met him more than ten years ago. Although he is not skinny, his sickly pale skin makes it clear that he is a sickly person who has been bedridden for many years.]
[It is hard to imagine that the person in front of us was once the most powerful "Sword of the Last Light" in the Kingdom of Kanreya. ]
[When Dainsleb heard the door open, he turned around and saw you, and he immediately became excited. However, due to his weak body, he immediately started coughing violently.]
[“Don’t get excited. Calm down.” You said kindly, and then handed the Intivat flower to Deinsreb. Ying’s blood immediately played its due role. The moment Deinsreb took the Intivat flower, he felt that the curse on his body had faded a little. Although he still felt severe pain in various parts of his body, it was finally reduced to a tolerable level.]
[“This…” Dainsleb looked at the Intivat flower in his hand in disbelief. He didn’t know that the Intivat flower could also cure diseases.]
[“This is the Intivat flower that I transformed with my alchemy. It should be able to reduce the burden on your body.” You explained.]
[“Yes, I am much better now. Thank you very much, Mr. Gold.” Deinsreb thanked you. Then, upon your inquiry, Deinsreb told you about his own experience. You also told Deinsreb about the fate of Sora, Silk and Albedo.]
[“So that’s how it is. Did he leave Teyvat?” Dainsreb looked a little dejected, but he soon cheered up. “This should be the best ending. I hope he can spread the story of Kanria and let people in other worlds know that in a certain continent, there was a group of people who created a paradise for humans without relying on the protection of God.”]
[“When your physical condition gets better, I will teach you how to control the earth vein energy in your body.” The reason why humans become hill people is because too much earth vein energy has accumulated in their bodies. If we can control the earth vein energy in our bodies, we should be able to completely solve this problem.]
【“Thank you very much.” Dainbraith responded. 】
【Then, the three people in the room fell into silence. 】
[“By the way, I actually have another request.” After a long silence, you were the first to break the silence, then took out the Heart of Naberis and looked at Piero beside you.]
[“If I want to revive Silk, I must first collect the Naberish Relic Set. I have confirmed that the Heart of Naberish is currently in the Solstice Palace. Can I…”]
[“That should be possible.” Piero hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.]
【"Very good!"】
[You immediately put on the Naberish suit, but to your surprise, the Naberish suit did not glow like before.]
[“Eh? Why isn’t it glowing again? The Heart of Naberis is no longer in the palace?!”]
[In the past year, you and Ketzlein have walked around the Solstice Palace several times wearing the Naberish suit, and you are 100% sure that the last piece of the Naberish Heart is definitely in the palace. But after not wearing this suit for only half a year, it actually stopped glowing?!]
[At this moment, Piero provided you with a clue that was not really a clue, "Two months ago, the wind god Barbatos stole the Queen's scepter. Do you think there is a possibility that the Heart of Naberis you are looking for is that scepter?"]
[“Where is the wind god Barbatos?!” you asked anxiously. ]
[“He left a letter, saying that the Queen should find Him... But the Queen is now concentrating on perfecting the Fatui Army, so she threw the letter away after taking a look at it.”]
[For the current Ice Queen, nothing is more important than accumulating strength to fight against the law of nature. As for Barbatos's prank... it's just a scepter, the Ice Queen really doesn't take it seriously. ]
[“So, does that mean I have to search for the Heart of Naberis again?” You stuttered.]
[My defense is broken. This time, I am really broken by Barbatos’ behavior. 】
[After finally entering the palace, the Heart of Naberis is almost within reach, but the cooked duck flies away in front of you, and before leaving, it uses its wings to give you a set of military punches.]
[Heart of Naberis: What is extreme pull? (Tactical retreat)]
[“I…I’ll go back and take some time off.” You stood up from your seat and staggered back to the hotel.]
[41 years old: After a year of treatment, Dainbres's body has recovered to the point where he can fight. During this year, Piero and the prince of Canrea have been urging you and Ketzlain to join the team against Tianli, but you have declined.]
[After confirming that Dainbraith's health is gradually improving, you and Ketzlain also decided to pack your bags and continue to search for the Ice God's Scepter that was stolen by the Wind God Barbatos.]
[“Dain, what are you going to do after you recover? Are you going to seek revenge against Heavenly Justice with Piero and the others?” You asked Dain Brace before parting.]
[“No.” Dain shook his head. “I plan to continue traveling in the Seven Kingdoms and then settle down somewhere with pleasant scenery.”]
