Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, Snow Burial City. Old Palace, outside the secret room.
"…No trace of Parsifal has been found in the city. Subsequent investigations have revealed that the wound that pierced Bird's heart was large, and it is suspected that the murderer was a great sword. The murderer is unknown."
Eberhardt quickly read the message from Priscilla silently, then took out the feather pen he carried with him, placed the letter paper in the palm of his left hand, and wrote briefly on the back.
"Alright. Continue monitoring Mondstadt and return in less than a week."
Then, Eberhardt looked up at the dove that had landed on the snow-covered stone. The dove flew human-like on Eberhardt's left arm, which was placed in front of his chest.
Erberhardt rolled up the small piece of letter paper into a small strip, placed it on one of the pigeon's legs, and released it.
The pigeon's snow-white figure quickly disappeared in the wind and snow.
Carrier pigeons are very suitable for delivering important information. There are plenty of pigeons in Mondstadt, and even if someone shoots pigeons, the probability of hitting a confidential pigeon is small.
Besides, who would shoot pigeons for no reason except playful children?
"Master Erberhardt, Master Ingobert is calling you over."
"The circular gate is very strong and cannot be opened by brute force. Master Ingobert said that this is a mechanism and the clue is hidden in the inscription." Ruther walked behind Eberhart and said respectfully.
These days, Eberhardt has proved with his actions that he is not the same kind of nobleman who is always causing trouble rather than accomplishing anything, and he has won the admiration of all the members of the expedition team.
Eberhardt turned around, glanced at Priscilla's brother Ruther, and hummed coldly.
Returning to the secret room, the first thing Eberhardt saw was Ingobert who was having a heated discussion with his men.
"How's the snow outside?" Ingobert asked hurriedly when he saw Eberhardt.
“It has subsided somewhat.”
"Alas," Ingobert sighed, "a storm suddenly arose some time ago. The climate in the snowy mountains is so unpredictable. I don't know if those younger generations who fell behind can survive it."
"Don't worry, they are all trained nobles and are capable of returning to the camp on their own," said Eberhart.
Erberhardt’s usual performance was convincing, and with his comfort, Ingobert breathed a sigh of relief and focused on another matter.
He pointed to a stone tablet in the secret room.
"When you came here, I remember you said you knew something about ancient characters. Can you understand them?"
Eberhart looked at the stone tablet. He knew the truth about what happened in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. This was what he later discovered when he and Protace were searching for the power of the black dragon Durin.
Thousands of years ago, he was not interested in the past of the Snow-Covered City. He used the "ancient country sealed by ice and snow" and the "magic power of things that fell from the sky" to lure Ingobert, who was keen on adventure, away from Mondstadt and look for an opportunity to take action.
[…It is made of soul and star silver. But the foreigner who can wield it and cut through the ice and snow is Imonlo…]
Erberhardt translated it.
Everyone was shocked.
"Imon Roka, why does my family's surname appear here?" Ingobert frowned, and gradually became excited, "This is a major discovery!"
"There must be a huge secret behind this circular door! Perhaps there are well-preserved murals, or even some ancient weapons made of star silver!"
"Brother asked us to achieve fruitful results on this trip, and the goal is within sight!"
"Eberhardt, let's look for other inscriptions and see if there is a way to open the circular gate. As for the ruins on the southwest side, we will go there later."
"Ah."
Unlike the excited Ingobert, Erberhardt seemed calm.
No one doubted it; after all, that was the image Eberhardt presented: reliable and knowledgeable.
Eberhardt knew clearly what was happening to the group of people before him. In the next few days they would encounter strong snowstorms, their supplies would be lost, and they would be in a desperate situation.
All this is thanks to the climate and Eberhard.
Although the plan was made in advance, from the current situation, everything is happening according to what has already happened, haha.
…………
Since Bird was killed, other nobles have been killed in the streets one after another.
The murderer must be the same person because the bodies were hung on street lamps.
The nobles were furious and sent people to look for the murderer at all costs, while the common people who were just watching the show felt very happy and discussed privately who would be the next one.
With Lin Ye attracting firepower, Kreuzlid continued his performance while looking for partners.
There were many sparks of resistance in Mondstadt, even though they were brutally suppressed by Eberhardt.
Finally, Kriuzlid contacted the Gunhild family.
The Gunhild family is one of the three noble families who followed Wendy to conquer the world. Imon Roca represents fighting, Lawrence represents pioneering, and Gunhild represents protection.
For thousands of years, Gunhild has never fallen. It is even rumored that every baby born into the Gunhild family says "Eternal Guardian Mondstadt" before learning to call mom and dad.
In the old Mondstadt period, the Gunhild family was not sure of taking on two enemies at once, so they did not go along with the corrupt, and did their best to take in refugees and protect the innocent.
The pleasure-seeking nobles might not have noticed that Gunhildr, who had always been strict with herself, had sensed the undercurrents in Mondstadt.
They agreed to the meeting proposed by Kriuzlid.
Lin Ye usually uses his true appearance. When he makes sure that no one is following or monitoring him, he will temporarily transform into Parsifal when he comes into contact with Kreuzlid.
The two men disguised themselves, pretending to be flower delivery men, sneaked into Gunhild's castle and met with the owner of the house.
Kruzilid was in charge of the talks with the head of Gunhild's family, while Lin Ye stood on the side, wearing a robe and a hat, as a bodyguard.
The head of the Gunhild family is a gentle and elegant gentleman. His speech and behavior are easy-going and friendly, but he gives people a feeling that he should not be underestimated.
Most importantly, the head of the Gunhild family gives people a very clean impression. This is not only in appearance, but also in a mysterious temperament, which is different from the corrupt nobles.
Kriuzlide was a rough but meticulous man. On the way here, he discussed things with Lin Ye. He also seemed very sophisticated when talking to Kane, the head of the Gunhild family, and was testing them.
Kane paused for a moment, then suddenly sighed, shed tears, looked up to the sky and complained, which translated into: Mondstadt was so powerful when the God of Wind was in power, and he denounced the current moral decline and rampant insects.
Upon hearing this, Kreuzlide burst into laughter based on what Lin Ye had said in advance.
Kane pretended to be angry and asked Kreuzlid what he was laughing at!
Kriuzrid gave a long speech, and to sum it up, a real man should not think about reporting to the God of Wind and the people of Mond, so what is the point of crying? Crying day and night, will it kill Landrich and Horsa?
When Kane heard this and confirmed Kreuzlid's attitude, his expression straightened and he finally got down to business.
Kreuzlid also confirmed Kane's attitude and subtly revealed the three-step plan.
Kane thought for a long time and decided to follow.
This is a choice that would change and rebuild the country's destiny if we win, or destroy the family if we lose.
It requires caution and courage.
Kane thought this plan was feasible. The main reason that prompted him to agree was his inner uneasiness. He was over 40 years old. Looking at the current situation of Mondstadt, Gunhild's sense of mission made him feel guilty. He wanted to do something big before he died.
Kreuzlid and Kane had another discussion, and they gradually put themselves in each other's shoes and analyzed the situation.
Lin Ye listened for a long time. He was good at fighting alone, but when it came to a fight involving tens of thousands of people, he had to leave it to a great noble like Kane.
Finally, Kreuzlid and Kane agreed on a cooperation agreement to work together to eliminate the insects.

Chapter 256 Bloodstained Spear
There are seven days left until the Badminton Festival.
Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, ruins on the southwest side.
Blood flowed down his arm and was blown away by the biting cold wind before it fell.
Ruther glared angrily at the handsome young man with a gun. He was forced into a desperate situation.
The wind and snow sobbed and howled, the wound was burning with pain, and the body was shaking. Ruther felt lonely for the first time. Before death came, he missed Mondstadt and his home very much.
"Why!" Ruther questioned.
Eberhardt responded to Ruther's confusion and spoke thoughtfully.
"Despite your preparations, did you still let Ruther escape?"
Step by step, Eberhardt, holding the royal hunting rifle, was like the god of death on the Dragon Spine Snow Mountain, reaping one noble after another who left Mondstadt that sheltered them.
Ruther gritted his teeth and clenched his sword with his left hand. His calf was injured by an arrow shot by Eberhardt. He couldn't escape in the ice and snow, cold wind, low temperature and fog.
Originally in the secret room, Ingobert did not open the door of the secret room. At Eberhardt's suggestion, he went to the ruins on the southwest side.
We encountered snowstorm again and our team members fell behind.
Supplies and fuel were running low.
A feeling of despair lingered in the hearts of every team member.
Gradually, except for Ingobert, everyone else prayed for rescue and gave up the expedition.
Ruther went out to catch a snow rabbit for Ingobert, and when he came back, he witnessed a scene that stunned him.
Eberhardt, the man whom all the expedition members trusted, actually used a spear to pick up Master Ingobert, and the tip of the spear pierced his heart, and the tip of the spear was stained with blood.
Why……
Luther rushed forward to stop it immediately.
In fact, Ruther's martial arts skills were not inferior to Eberhardt's. Eberhardt was injured due to carelessness, but Ruther was more seriously injured. He escaped and later died of his injuries.
In the second round, Eberhardt would not let this happen again. He killed all the members of the expedition team, leaving only Ruther. He launched a surprise attack and killed Ingobert in front of him.
Ruther tried his best to escape, with only one thought in his mind, to convey the news of Eberhardt's rebellion back to Mond, and let Master Landrich punish this monster in human skin.
But Ruther was hit by an arrow.
There is no escape.
There is no escape.
In the blizzard, Ruther roared and limped towards Eberhart.
In the mist, two figures crossed each other, one of them took a few steps and fell down.
The direction of the fall is Mondstadt.
Priscilla, my sister...
Bye now.
After wiping the tip of his gun, Erberhardt walked toward where the supplies were hidden.
Time to go back to Mond.
The signal smoke at the Cape of Good Hope was not lit.
The family's hawks didn't find out.
well.
Another nail on the road to becoming the head of the family was pulled out, leaving only the last one.
The last one.
…………
There are four days left until the Badminton Festival.
Thanks to Lin Ye’s contribution, nobles rarely come to the commercial district to wreak havoc. There are more people on the streets and the sun seems brighter.
Elvis played a song for a girl and she clapped and praised him.
The girl has platinum hair, delicate and fair skin, and a beautiful smile, as pure as the moon.
The girl's name was Lola. Elvis rescued her from a group of gangsters and fell in love with her at first sight.
Lola also liked Elvis's gentleness and humor, as well as his music.
This is a rare date for them.
But Elvis had bad news for Laura.
The plan reached a critical stage, and Elvis had to avoid meeting Lola.
Laura didn't get an answer from Elvis, but she didn't ask any further questions. She could see that Elvis was hiding something.
It's ok.
Laura is willing to wait for the day when Elvis will say it himself.
