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

knocking.

Fukaros went over and opened the door.

“Lady Furna.” Clorinde stood at the door. “Lady Aina asked me to tell you that the second expedition list has been finalized, and detailed documents have been prepared outlining the battle lines and the allocation of supplies. Please take a look.”

Fukaros looked down at the documents Clorind handed her, paused for a moment, and then said in a tone similar to Frinna's, "Take it away, I'm not interested in these."

Clarind sighed softly, "Lady Frinina, even if you didn't care before, the expedition to the Abyss is no small matter, and you should at least know about it."

"Let Navelette see for me."

"That's...okay."

"By the way," Fukaros called out to Clarinde, who was about to leave, "any news about Ryder?"

Claude shook her head.

“I have already ordered the special patrol team to increase manpower, and the search has never stopped, but so far there has been no news about Lord Ryder.”

"That's it..."

Fukalos waved his hand.

She walked to the window and stared blankly at the scenery inside Fontainebleau.

"Hey, Funina."

"what?"

The sound of a jar coming from under the covers.

Let's go on a trip.

"what?"

A corner of the blanket was lifted, and Funina's head popped out, blinking her eyes.

Fukaros turned around and smiled: "Forget about Fontaine, let's go find Ryder!"

...

Rice wife.

Castle tower.

Torachiyo lay on the coffee table, turned her head to the right, and looked at the figure kneeling on the cushion, quietly drinking tea.

"Um...seriously, where has Shadow been all this time?"

Zhen put down her teacup and chuckled, "Of course I have things to do."

"So what's going on? Last time you came back, you didn't even say hello, and you looked really sad. Then you suddenly ran off again. What's going on?"

"Alright, Chiyo, stop asking so many questions," said Kitsui-miya from the side. "It's no use asking."

"I'm just worried about Ying."

"Everyone is worried."

The day Kage returned, he was completely distraught, as if he had lost his soul. He hugged Shin and kept crying. I had never seen Lord Narukami cry before, so something more terrible than the sky falling must have happened.

However, after receiving genuine comfort, Kage rallied his spirits the next day and then left Inazuma with his sword.

Don't know where he went.

"no need to worry."

Zhen raised her head and looked at the seabirds flying across the sky, her purple eyes shimmering with a gentle charm.

Don't worry... he will definitely come back.

...

Mond.

The fiery red little guy spread his arms and ran up the steps one by one, finally standing on the top step and turning around.

"Nasita! Nasita! Hurry, hurry!"

Klee smiled sweetly and waved to the figure on the steps.

“Klee, you’re running too fast,” Nasita said.

"You're too slow~ Slowpoke Nasita, be careful you don't grow up to be fat!"

What does walking slowly have to do with gaining weight?

"Fat people just walk slowly."

Nasita pouted, thinking to herself, "You little brat, you have no common sense at all. Your older sister is the goddess of wisdom, you know. Be smart, you silly little sister."

“That’s what Mom said.” Claire pointed to Alice next to Narcida.

Naxi Da raised her head.

Alice smiled.

Nasita immediately said, "Mother Alice is right."

"Hehe~ Nasita is such a good girl." Alice smiled and patted Nasita's head.

After returning from their trip to Mount Meru, Narcida reciprocated by accompanying Klee to Mondstadt, where Klee would act as her guide and show Narcida the unique features of Mondstadt.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

Just then, a group of people in silver armor ran past them quickly.

The sounds of Mondstadt citizens talking could be heard from the surrounding area.

"Is this the second batch already?"

"Yes, since the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, we have increased our forces for the expedition to the Abyss."

"Thanks to Leader Jean, otherwise Mondstadt would never have been able to field so many people before."

"Once the commander and the others return, we can have another half as much."

Alice watched as the knights disappeared through the city gates.

"An expedition to the Abyss... Sigh~ Really, even though things have changed, there's still fighting and killing. Can't this world be a little more peaceful?" Having learned almost the whole truth from the Great Tree King, Alice never doubted Su Chen's return, and she would wait for him no matter how long it took.

"Mom! Hurry up! The first Fisherman's Toast from the Deer Hunters is about to be stolen!"

Alice snapped out of her reverie, looked at the enormous statue of Socrates standing in the square, and couldn't help but smile: "Here it comes."

...

To the Winter Palace.

The biting wind grew increasingly fierce, never ceasing since the change of order. Even the executors of the Fools dared not easily set foot here, for they all knew that the wind here symbolized the will of the Ice Queen, and the stronger the wind, the angrier the Queen was.

As the clown pushed open the palace gates, he was chilled to the bone by the absolute icy aura that greeted him. It was the first time he had ever felt the Empress's anger so acutely.

"Your Majesty," the clown said as he entered the palace, bowing. "The expeditionary force has set off. This time, the captain is leading the team, with the young master assisting him."

A cold and majestic figure emerged from the wind and snow on the throne.

"I understand... Pierre, how's the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Bronya said indifferently.

"There is no progress yet. The governor seems to have disappeared from anywhere, and even the servants' intelligence network cannot find a single clue."

Bronya narrowed her eyes slightly; the sudden drop in temperature inside the palace reflected her current mood.

"Liyue," she asked, "what has Liyue been up to lately?"

Liyue? ...The clown thought for a moment and said, "It seems not. As far as I know, the army that went to conquer the Abyss has already set off... However, it seems that the Human Emperor Festival in Liyue is coming soon, so it's quite lively."

"The Human Emperor's Sacrifice?"

Bronya had a sudden thought.

The next moment, her figure disappeared from the throne.

...

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Everyone in the back, keep up!"

"This batch of supplies must be delivered to the front lines as soon as possible; the soldiers are waiting for it urgently!"

"Give it! Give it!"

Liyue, on the streets.

The long marching column, like a dragon, was carrying a large amount of supplies and was rushing out of the city.

Pedestrians on the street consciously parted to both sides. At this moment, every citizen of Liyue remained solemn, offering their blessings to the marching Thousand Rock Army.

Once the army had left, the streets returned to their usual bustling state.

As the Emperor's Festival approaches, Liyue Harbor, as in previous years, has witnessed a change in order that has brought about a new civilization. However, for most people, life will remain the same as it was before.

A suitable candidate? One that can breathe fire, spew water, and blow wind?

That's the government's job. The lucky ones mutate, and those who don't mutate just hope to have offspring that mutate. Until then, they eat and defecate as usual. Living well is always the core value of civilization.

Eat Tiger Rock.

With a clatter of the chopping board, the storyteller in the tavern began to speak—

"The story I'm going to tell you today is one of the most glorious achievements of the Human Emperor, titled 'Xuanyuan Settles the Nine Provinces.' Legend has it that back then..."

"Three bowls and you're done in the harbor," perhaps due to the festive atmosphere, the place, which is usually deserted, was almost full today. The tavern owner was so happy to see this that he grinned from ear to ear.

at this time.

In the corner of the tavern.

One person, one pot of wine, a slender figure.

Everyone else who came to drink faced the storyteller, listening to the tale while drinking, but he was the only one with his back to him.

He drank slowly, sip after sip, cup after cup, while the tavern's customers came and went, but he remained seated.

Then, a young nobleman with a braid walked in, glanced around, and walked straight toward the man.

Sit down and order a pot of wine.

"You're a bit late today," the man said.
