Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

Qin Ye silently took two steps back, and his elemental power surged once more.

So I didn't say how long "short time" means. I think no one would mind if I used some small tricks.

Chapter 183 The Plan Begins

"What did Dionysus confirm for you that made you so worried about going to Cape Oath?"

The servant crossed his legs, took a small sip of the "Ancient Sunset," and felt his mind instantly become much clearer.

Tatiana had just sat down when she shook her head helplessly: "Brother Qin Ye said that the Seven Gods statues over there are probably being targeted by the Abyss. Although the Wind God didn't take it too seriously, it's still better to check them out."

She could tell that even Qin Ye didn't expect to be able to stop this from happening. After all, the Aeolus of Mondstadt was too "free." If you didn't ask, they might even drink the incident down with a sip of wine and never remember it again.

What does the Abyss need a statue for?

Arecino's professionalism was impeccable; upon hearing such a topic, she immediately took out her notebook and meticulously wrote down what the other person was saying.

"Brother Qin Ye said he couldn't be sure either, but since the other party's goal is related to the Rock King Emperor, it's probably to create some kind of super-powerful enemy, or a tool to weaken the god's power."

Tatiana believed Qin Ye's analysis wholeheartedly; she herself probably wouldn't have been able to figure everything out in such a short time.

"Didn't he leave any plan to stop it?" The servant's expression turned serious.

Being able to threaten the Rock God means that she is a formidable opponent for the Seven Gods, as her Empress's strength is no match for Morax.

"..."

The girl at the opposite table suddenly fell silent.

"how?"

"Although Brother Qin Ye told me that these kinds of problems should be left to the Rock King Emperor to worry about, I still feel that it was my responsibility to fail to stop the Abyss from taking away the statue this time... Maybe this is part of Brother Qin Ye's important plan."

Tatiana slowly lowered her head, looked at the table, and showed a look of shame.

“...I think you’re overthinking it.” Arecino chuckled awkwardly. “I think his mission after arriving in Mondstadt was entirely focused on that traveler.”

The servant was fully aware of this. For the Fool, anyone who piqued his interest, unless they were one of his own like the young lady or the young master, would inevitably be sold off...

No, it should be that she will be used on very important occasions, so that she will be willing to dedicate her strength.

Qin Ye could have easily taken matters into his own hands and fooled the blonde girl himself, but to be on the safe side, he had Tatiana do it, which shows that he was in a hurry. He not only had more things to do, but also didn't have much time or confidence to gain the other party's complete trust.

“I understand what you mean, but…” The girl sighed, then shrugged as if relieved: “It’s okay, I’ll do better in the next mission.”

"..."

So perfectionists are really outrageous.

Are you both here?

A familiar figure walked gracefully into the private room; it was none other than the CEO, Ms.

"Rosalyn? What have you been up to lately? You haven't even had time to watch anything funny?"

Arecino crossed her arms and looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression.

"Moti."

The lady casually sat down on the chair next to the servant, picked up the unopened bottle of red wine in front of him, poured it into a wine glass, and began to savor it.

"You still don't know how to enjoy life. When it's time for a mission, you won't even take a sip of such fine red wine."

Rosalyn finally showed a slightly pleased expression.

"Hehe, what can I do? I'm too busy with work. Unlike diplomats who have time to enjoy wine lately. But then again, I don't have anyone above me to keep an eye on me."

Arecino's words were quite pointed, but the lady only glared at him before angrily clutching the wine bottle to her chest.

In order to win in the end, what's wrong with me listening to the 12th seat's arrangements?

The goal is simply to win, there's nothing shameful about it.

"Well, you two, I have some things to attend to. Please forgive my rudeness..."

Seeing that the lady and the servant, these two good friends, had finally met together, Tatiana felt there was no need for her to stay any longer.

"Go ahead, you don't need to report these things to us." Arecino waved her hand casually.

"Yes."

Anyway, although this girl was respectful to all the executives on the surface, she always had a sense of pride in her heart.

Of course, this arrogance is not a derogatory term, but rather an expression of absolute trust and admiration for one's superior.

As it turns out, the Fool's abilities did not disappoint her devoted heart.

However, the servant had been working with the two for so long that he had actually had enough of these awkward pretense.

After all, as the leader of the dark side of the Fools, the ability to see through people's hearts can be said to be an innate talent.

For example, even if you can't rationally analyze how much truth or falsehood is mixed in Dionysus's words, you can still avoid the big pitfalls he sets for you.

Therefore, the Fool doesn't necessarily want to completely control her every move; it's more about a win-win situation.

Rosalind was basically appeased with a couple of sweet treats, while D'Artagnan was even more outrageous.

When did the influence of a last-place seat become so great?

-

"Traveler, do we really need to hide in such an inward location?"

At the gates of Mondstadt, Ying quietly hid in the bushes, her eyes fixed on Timmy on the bridge, and she couldn't help but silently take two steps back.

“I’m starting to have some post-traumatic stress disorder. I feel like every time I see him I’m going to complain to the nun and get a scolding. I also have to chat and play with the pigeons. I feel like a lunatic.”

Ying suddenly trembled involuntarily.

too frightening.

"But this mission seems pretty normal and relaxing. Guarding the main gate of Mondstadt is a pretty easy and enjoyable task, isn't it?"

Paimon changed the subject, trying to reassure the traveler about the reward and the mission.

"..."

Ying chose to remain silent.

Haven't you noticed that the tasks the Fools assign us are all a little problematic?

Even if it seems perfectly normal on the surface, it will definitely become a major event that affects Mondstadt when it comes to the important stages.

So she is still taking this task quite seriously.

It's definitely not because the Fool gave too much.

(at the same time)

In the ruins of the Wind Dragon, Kong, who was standing on the outer perimeter pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

Columbia wasn't there, and Qin Ye didn't leave the snow mountain either.

"Let's begin." He raised the longsword in his hand, which was imbued with the power of the abyss, and plunged it into the barrier protecting the ruins.

A shattering sound rang out, and the blond boy vanished instantly.

In Mondstadt, Venti, who was chatting and laughing with a lieutenant of the Fools, was no longer smiling. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he disappeared.

the other side.

Tartaglia, far away in Liyue, finally arrived at the scene of the Summoning Ceremony, accompanied by Zhongli.

"It's about time to begin," Zhongli murmured softly, squinting his eyes.

"Huh? What's starting? Is the ceremony about to begin?"

D'Artagnan straightened up.

Chapter 184 Guarding Mondstadt

"Whoa! Traveler! What's going on?!"

Paimon retreated back into the city gate and saw Ying already stepping forward with her sword. He quickly reached out to stop her.

"Work is coming your way, Paimon, you better hide."

The Abyss Mage landed on the Mondstadt Bridge, and the surrounding pigeons were instantly reduced to dust by the flames.

Timmy was so startled that he sat down on the ground, bracing himself with his hands behind his back. After a few quick movements, he rolled over and scrambled away.

The Abyss Mage waved his staff, and a large number of Hilichurls gathered outside the bridge charged forward.

"Now there's no need to protect the pigeons' right to pursue freedom."

Ying glanced silently at the child running away beside her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Although the Hilichurls in front of them were already shoulder to shoulder, a large portion of the large Hilichurls had already been cleared from the area they had previously visited.

It can only be said that Miss Fool, who designed this whole thing, was quite prescient, and she even happened to run into some of them on the way and managed to eliminate them all.

So why would the other side choose to attack Mondstadt? Is it because Mondstadt is not a priority for them, or do they simply want to use this wave of Hilichurls as cannon fodder to hold back their progress?

Ying shook her head. For her, such guessing and strategic maneuvering weren't her strengths; the most important thing now was...

"Go with the wind!"

Because of their ability to "transform into water," and because Mondstadt only has one main gate, the Hilichurls charged at them like targets.

The whirlwind swept up enemies in its path, and the wind and fire caused an elemental reaction in the Hilichurls' hands, transforming into a fiery whirlwind that swept over enemies, reaping their lives as if they were nothing.

The knights who were originally guarding the gates of Mondstadt could no longer bear the sight of so many enemies and abandoned their duties to flee into the city.

"Oh? Your task seems to be guarding the gate, right?"

The fleeing knight felt a weight on his shoulder, and with a start, turned to see who it was.

His tone became hesitant and stammering: "A...cavalry captain?!"

Kaeya kicked the opponent in the back knee, and a scream followed as the knight knelt on one knee.

"Kaiya, let's not deal with these things for now."

A woman's voice came from afar.
