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

Kong could only sigh. Just as he was about to leave, he found himself unable to lift his feet for a long time.

That's not right.

That's as if he knew I absolutely couldn't live without Teyvat...

Moreover, the conversation went from being friends to me becoming his subordinate.

"..."

You're really good at fooling people.

Chapter 297 Arrival

"It's almost over."

Columbia gazed at the dark sky, feeling the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere of Kanria, and silently shook her head.

"Although this day was bound to come eventually, I didn't expect it to come so soon."

This is a good thing for both Qin and me.

"So you were here."

Daines Reeb's voice was much lower than usual, and although his words still carried a respectful tone, his clenched fists proved that he was not as respectful as he appeared.

"What, the seven gods are about to descend, and you still have the mood to come here looking for me?"

"..."

Dain maintained her composure and responded softly, "Lord Qin Ye will be fighting against the enemy in the royal city, sharing life and death with Kanria. The people are also looking forward to your appearance, which will boost their morale."

The girl stood quietly, looking at the guards who were already on high alert, and chuckled softly: "My goal has been achieved. The rest is up to you."

He didn't hesitate to distance himself from her relationship, which startled Dain.

Although I had considered that the other party might not be willing to help, I did not expect them to be so blatant.

“I know what you want to say. I hope you can understand one thing, Daines Reeb: even without me and Qin, with your king… that good-for-nothing’s mind, annihilation will come sooner or later.”

"..."

The man fell silent; he couldn't find a reason to refute that one sentence.

"Do you know that although Qin used you, he also gave you a chance to make amends, so that justice would not completely erase Kanria's existence? But he also has to face a death with an unknown outcome for this."

Columbia took out her lute and softly began to sing a song, a song that was no longer cheerful, but rather sad and melancholic.

"As the head of the palace guard, you are responsible for protecting this country and its people. You have friends, family..."

The petite girl turned to look at the silver-haired man walking slowly towards her; from today onwards, the two would begin working together.

Unfortunately, the other party was unwilling to tell her Qin's purpose, and she didn't even know what the doll made of [Gold] looked like.

Because she understood that if she knew, her uncontrollable feelings and impulses would definitely ruin Qin's plans.

So it's better not to try to understand it in the first place.

"Dain, I also had a father, and I also had a sister..."

Her hands pressed down hard on the lute strings: "But now I only have Qin left. Even if it's just self-deception, I don't want to see him suffer such an end."

"But the people of Kanria..."

"That's just them imposing their expectations on me. By the way, Qin considers you a friend, so it's better not to add the suffix 'sir' to you. Anyway, there won't be any Kanria left in the future, so such a title is even more unnecessary."

Columbia turned away without looking back, leaving only a resentful Dain behind.

"Lady Columbia...why..."

Piero was somewhat puzzled.

"What good would it do to tell him? Tell him that even if I intervene, the people of Kanria will be cursed? Tell him to take revenge on the abyss and the laws of nature? Tell him that no matter what, I can't protect what I cherish most in my heart? It's better not to let more people experience that feeling."

The girl shook her head: "From now on, you should also change how you address me. Remember not to call me 'sir,' and treat me like a subordinate."

"...But"

"Is there another 'but'?"

"No...that's not the case."

Piero sighed inwardly.

People never completely blame themselves for mistakes, nor do they easily admit their incompetence; this is not a problem that reason can solve.

If Daines Reeb fails to protect Canria, he could turn his anger on anyone...

But not now; his hatred will only be directed at Columbia.

Unexpectedly, Lady Columbia took on a difficult task.

"By the way, have you decided on my code name yet?"

The girl changed the subject.

"...I really can't decide this for you, so I brought the titles and corresponding seats with me."

"Let me see."

Colombia took the list.

Clown, Doctor, Pigeon, Captain, Rooster, Skirmisher...

Why does it get worse and worse as it goes on?

And a young master?

This title is both frivolous and casual.

"If all else fails, then let's go with the lady; at least it's easier to pronounce."

"This...Does Lord Qin Ye mean that according to the ranking of strength, you should at least choose a title within the top five?"

The girl frowned, which startled Piero so much that he swallowed hard.

"Seriously, they still do all this formalism. After all these years, they still like to do useless things."

She looked at the silver-haired man: "Fine, I know you're loyal to him, so I won't let you make any major changes."

Columbia looked up at the seven elemental lights descending from the sky.

Unlike Fanes, she is no longer confused; she will definitely become the final winner with Qin.

"..."

When you first met Qin?

"How about this, you change the pigeon for the third seat."

"Whatever your command."

"Let's change it to 'young girl,' I like that name."

Seeing Colombia smile, Piero finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What kind of title would you like?"

"What title?"

"Young Master is Tartaglia, and Doctor is Dottore. Would you also like to use a pseudonym?"

The girl's gaze sharpened again: "You've already abandoned your former self, do you want me to abandon the name Qin gave me too?"

"Ah, no, no, no... I'm just asking on behalf of Lord Qin Ye, just going through the motions."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It would be an honor to serve that person."

"Let's go."

The two figures quickly disappeared into the distance, leaving behind this place of trouble.

-

"Wow, you've arrived pretty quickly. I haven't even figured out how the machines in Kanria work yet."

Qin Ye scratched his head: "The original tillers have already been moved away?"

“I’ve given it to my friend.” Rhein-Dort stood up and tore the letter in his hand to shreds.

Which friend of yours?

"You don't know her, female friend."

"...Okay, but you certainly tore this letter up completely, boyfriend?"

"...My son's graduation certificate."

You have a son?!

Rhein-Dörgütt curled his lip.

This amnesia really means he doesn't remember anything... The external forces are truly extraordinary; I really should have used him as my guinea pig back then...

It's too late to say anything now, it's such a pity.

Qin Ye twisted his neck and looked up at the seven gods in the sky.

"..."

I'm really not confident that I can take on seven opponents at once.

Chapter 298: The End is Also the Beginning

"Hey~ Is this where Qin Ye is?"

Raiden smiled as he observed the heavily armed Kanria below: "It really is a prosperous place. I was quite surprised when I first came here."

"..."

The other six gods remained silent.

It's like they don't know that you, Lei Dian, are secretly colluding with Qin Ye.
