Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"Ok?"

Giant lotus leaves rise up all around, intertwining and weaving together to form natural curtains that block out all sight.

Countless days and nights have passed, the wind has gently caressed the mountains, and the sacred moon lotus in the lake has quietly opened its stamens. The sweet, fragrant juice has slightly moistened the petals, and the lake water ripples, causing the moon lotus to sway gently with the impact of the waves.

Finally, even the sun stopped shining here, leaving only the moonlit night for company.

Only after Nasus, who was waiting outside the courtyard, tore off the Shurima calendar once more did Su Chen emerge from the courtyard, feeling refreshed.

“Your Majesty,” Nasus bowed slightly, “there is something I need to report to you.”

"What is it?" Su Chen asked.

"The diplomatic letter to Winterfell has already arrived at Winterfell Palace, but there has been no response from them for a long time. I understand and believe that they still do not intend to take any responsibility for this matter... Leaving aside Mora's compensation, this is the conclusion I have drawn from the recent events in Liyue and Inazuma."

In recent days, Nasus has been busy preparing for the Ascension Ceremony and keeping an eye on things in Winterfell.

Oh right, and should I also deal with Nasita's pestering? This little one has been keeping bothering me lately with questions about my father and mother.

Even if Nasus knew a lot, he might still reveal it.

To speak ill of His Majesty the Emperor and the Tree King is a grave offense, and as a priest, he should be even more mindful of this.

So Nasida isn't very happy lately.

Fortunately, Nasus was clever and tricked the little guy into returning to Sumeru City by saying that "if the Grass God and the Tree King are not here, Sumeru City will be in chaos".

Then there's Winterfell. As mentioned earlier, considering Winterfell's strength and geographical location, it would be quite troublesome for Shurima to retaliate against them.

"I expected that," Su Chen said calmly. "If it were any other request, then forget it. But the Doctor is the second executor of the Fatui. Neither the Empress nor the Commander-in-Chief would want to sacrifice him."

The fact that the Fools can act this way on the mainland means they have a reason to be confident.

Leaving aside any possible secret deals between the gods, among the other six nations on the continent, there is a high probability that they will choose to resolve minor issues to ensure domestic stability, including things like Mondstadt Inazuma. As long as it is not a major issue that shakes the foundation of the nation, there is no problem.

But Su Chen didn't intend to give up so easily, not for the sake of face or anything, but simply because he felt that keeping someone like the PhD around was dangerous.

“Your Majesty, I have a suggestion,” Nasus said.

"explain."

"I suggest we unite with Liyue and Inazuma, and at the same time put pressure on Winterlands."

"Oh?"

Su Chen pondered for a moment.

Nasus explained, "As far as I know, the Doctor released the sea demon Oser in Liyue, causing a huge uproar. If we express our stance, given the Seven Stars' style of doing things, there's a high probability they'll take action."

"Although the matter on Inazuma's side is unrelated to the Doctor, the Fools' infiltration of the Narukami Shogunate and their interference in the politics of other countries have had a negative impact. Now that Inazuma is in a period of recovery, I heard that the Thunder General will soon lift the isolation order. Sumi can take this opportunity to form an alliance with Inazuma. In this way, firstly, we can gain the upper hand and obtain priority in trading with Inazuma, and secondly, we can put pressure on the Winter Kingdom together."

"If the three kingdoms unite, even if the Kingdom of Winter is strong, it is impossible for them to remain indifferent."

It must be said that Nasus's analysis is very comprehensive.

After thinking about it for a moment, Su Chen felt that this method was quite good.

After all, if the Desert Emperor makes the suggestion, the Liyue Emperor and the Inazuma Dragon King would probably agree!

"Okay, let's do it!"

...

Chapter 92 Desert Emperor: Attack Until Winter Human Emperor: Seconded Dragon King: Seconded [9k]

to winter.

The land of ice and snow in the northern part of the mainland.

A sacred palace, covered in snow and ice, sits atop the bustling city. It is called the Winter Palace and is the residence of the Ice Queen.

As one of the Seven Gods, the Winter Solstice is the gathering place of the people's faith. Its powerful strength has inspired countless people to believe in it. The warriors of the Winter Solstice Kingdom, who have been tempered by the bitter cold of ice and snow, all take the will of the Ice Queen as their goal. The eleven executive officers under her jurisdiction are renowned throughout the continent for their strength.

For the people, the power of the gods is essential, but it is said that long ago the Queen was also the gentlest of the gods. She sang with her people and participated in festivals together. Her gentleness and beauty are recorded in ancient books.

Whether these records are the author's own imagination or the truth of history remains unknown.

At least for the people of Winter's current reign, their queen is not so 'gentle', and the iron-fisted laws of Winter's Kingdom are known to everyone on the continent. Otherwise, how could they train such excellent Winter warriors?

With powerful soldiers and advanced technology, and under the leadership of a powerful executive officer, the overall military strength of the Winter Kingdom can be considered the best on the continent... well, at least for the past five hundred years. As for five hundred years ago, in the distant desert kingdom, the Ironclad Cavalry was known to almost everyone.

at this time.

Within the ancient city, sheltered from wind and snow, the peaceful daily life is shattered by a question from the desert.

Initially, people doubted the authenticity of the news. After all, that desert kingdom had perished five hundred years ago. Was this a letter of inquiry from hell?

But soon the news was confirmed. It was said that a bard from the Land of Wind told the story of the ancient desert kingdom's resurgence. In his vivid description, the image of the great emperor appeared in the minds of every citizen of Winter.

Well, whether it's true or not, this wonderful story alone deserves a full one hundred moras.

The first to feel troubled by this news were naturally the many executives of the Fools, because as the diplomatic corps of the Winter Kingdom, they also had to take responsibility for the problems committed by the Doctor. In the end, the Queen's punishment would not be solely the Doctor's fault.

So the buffoon, who was in charge, was in a bind. He immediately went to ask the doctor about the last slice, but the doctor had obviously expected this and had hidden it beforehand.

Even if the clown really wanted to search, he might still be able to find the other party.

But instead of going to see her, he went directly to see the Ice Queen.

After leaving the Winter Palace, the clown who had received the divine oracle immediately summoned the other executors.

Inside the long table conference room, a group of people dressed in executive coats gathered.

Although they were all executives, there was no real friendship between them. However, considering their current situation, the executives present remained silent and pondered with their heads down.

The clown emerges from the shadows.

A snow-white cloak draped over her shoulders, her cool gaze inadvertently sweeping around the long table, her brows furrowing slightly.

Why are so many people missing?

Beside her, the woman said casually, "Dartaria is still confined to Liyue, and as for the skirmishers... heh~ I'm not sure, they've probably already been dismantled."

"The doctor has disappeared without a trace."

"The captain is still on the battlefield."

"The rich man has gone out; it seems he's planning to do something while Morax is retiring."

Very good, eleven people, five of them are missing.

The clown remained silent, then said in a low, hoarse voice, "You should all be aware of what Dottore did in Sumeru. Although I have never had any expectations of your principles, if the trouble you cause harms the interests of Winter, or even targets the Queen, then that's a different story."

Sensing the chill in the clown's words, the executives present all abandoned their joking thoughts.

His expression was solemn.

Listen to the teachings of the chief official.

"Convey the Queen's will," the clown said slowly. "First, from now on, prevent such things from happening again. Second, search for the Doctor's whereabouts. Third, expedite the acquisition of the Heart of God."

Everyone was silent.

They didn't care about the first two points, except for the last one.

We can only try to avoid it, but if it's unavoidable, there's nothing we can do, not to mention that the third command obviously has a higher priority than the first.

As for the second point, investigating the doctor? How will the investigation be conducted? How long will it take?

They didn't say anything.

The meaning is that since he's hiding, he should just keep hiding.

The clown didn't say much, but gave the final order: "Everyone else can leave, Rosalyn, you stay."

The executives left one after another.

The woman asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

The clown said in a deep voice, "Rosalind, you did a good job with Liyue. Inazuma's situation was unavoidable, but Mondstadt should not fail."

“I’ve already explained this,” the woman waved her hand. “It’s because Barbatos is too cunning. Who would have thought he would transfer the Heart of God beforehand? Now we’ve lost the best opportunity to seize the Heart of God, and it will be difficult to find him now.”

“No need to look for him.” The clown’s gaze was deep. “According to the information, the disappearance of the Heart of the Wind God may be related to a man named Su Chen. He enjoys an extraordinary status in Mondstadt… Rosalyn, your next task is to investigate Su Chen and find the Heart of the Wind God that he may have hidden.”

"Ah..." The woman opened her mouth, paused, and nodded in response, "Okay, leave it to me."

End of the meeting.

The clown crossed the ice bridge under the wind and snow, heading towards the highest sacred palace.

Upon reaching the palace, the clown maintained the utmost respect and bowed to the aloof figure seated on the throne.

"Great Empress, your will has been conveyed."

The area around the throne became its own world, with snow swirling around it, obscuring the Queen's figure, before a cold voice rang out.

That will suffice.

The clown pondered for a moment and said, "But Shurima probably won't let this go so easily."

The Queen's voice remained cold: "The most troublesome one is that Azir."

A hint of apprehension flickered in the clown's eyes: "I have witnessed firsthand his confrontation with the heavens, an unimaginable power... Your Majesty, I think perhaps we can try to make contact with Shurima, which would greatly increase our chances of success."

The figure on the throne remained silent for a moment.

"Let me think about it."

Upon hearing this, the clown bowed again and respectfully left.

Inside the desolate palace, only the wind and snow fell. The Ice Queen slowly raised her hand, her slender white hand catching a soft snowflake.

The fluffy clumps of learning materials landed in my palm, but they didn't melt, because the temperature of my hand was the same as ice.

“If my teacher were still here, what would I have to fear from Azir…” She raised her head, a deep longing appearing in her clear, cold eyes. “Teacher… you once said that you would return one day, but where are you now?”

...

The central area of ​​the columned sand plain.

With yellow sand filling the sky, this environment is difficult to survive even for desert dwellers.

Since when did black sandstorms begin to rage here year-round? The ominous power emanating from the wind instills fear, while the occasional roars emanating from the ground seem like ancient demons, unwilling to be bound by the earth's veins, trying to break free of their shackles.

Two figures descended from the sky.
