At the top of Tianheng Mountain, Ye Lan, wearing a moon-white cloak, stood on the top of the mountain.
This cloak was a trophy she had seized from the Fools a few days ago. She had slightly changed the style, but it still fit her well.
The wind in the mountains blew her hair, and she looked at the rushing clear water river in the distance, her expression unclear under her eyebrows covered by her hair.
"Sir, all the information you want has been collected."
A middle-aged man climbed up to the top of the mountain out of breath and handed her a scroll.
Ye Lan took the scroll and looked down at it.
This is an investigation report on why Jiang Bai appeared in the Bishui River.
They investigated everyone living along the upper and lower reaches of the Bishui River, including but not limited to fishermen who often go fishing, treasure stealing groups stationed on the river bank, and merchants passing by to rest.
Everyone who might have seen the scene in the lake was questioned, trying not to let go of any clues.
Ye Lan took a quick look and took out a map from her pocket.
The Bishui River connects the hydrology of the entire Liyue. Whether it is the melted snow water flowing down from the snow-capped mountains or the underground water swamps of Huaguang Forest, they are all eventually collected in the Bishui River.
Therefore, it is not a simple matter to find out how Jiang Bai appeared in the Bishui River.
"[No one on either side of the Taiwan Strait has seen him...] Then the possibility of being thrown into the river midway is relatively small."
"[Someone saw ice floes as big as boulders on the river... The ice floes appeared at the same time as Jiang Bai was picked up...] Then the underground water pool of Huaguang Lin can be ruled out..."
"There is no particularly cold place in Liyue, and the temperature is not high enough to form large ice floes. Therefore, the only place that can produce large ice floes is Longji Snow Mountain..."
She quickly analyzed and looked at the towering Longji Snow Mountain.
Longji Snow Mountain covers a vast area and towers into the clouds. There are countless underground rivers under the ice and snow.
It is very likely that Jiang Bai fell into the underground river together with the huge ice floe and was washed all the way to the blue water source.
He was even part of the ice floe. Later, as the ice slowly melted, his body was exposed and he was discovered.
"In other words, he may not be from Liyue..."
It was only because he was not in Liyue at the beginning, so there was no trace of him in Liyue.
It’s just that the snow-capped mountains are not a good place to go…
That place doesn’t belong to Liyue’s territory either…
"Sir, do we still want to continue investigating?"
"Go and check to see if anything happened in the snowy mountains a month ago..." Ye Lan said calmly.
There will be no people who appear for no reason and have been stuck in the ice, nor will they suddenly leave the snow-capped mountains without external force.
If this is found, maybe Jiang Bai's true identity can be found out.
After receiving the order, his men quickly left. Yelan stood on the top of the mountain, looking alone at Liyue Harbor below.
For her, what matters is not Jiang Bai's identity.
But the knowledge of all this.
As the secret guardian of Liyue, she wants to ensure that all dangers are under control.
…
For Katis, the road to the snow-capped mountains has been traveled thousands of times.
He skillfully avoided monsters and hid in a cave before the heavy snowfall.
Night comes with heavy snow, and the heavy snow falling all over the sky renders the whole world white.
He lit the dry wood that had been placed in the cave, and the crackling sound of the fire drove away a little of the cold.
He set up the pot and put a handful of clean ice and snow from outside the cave into the pot. The ice and snow slowly melted into clean drinking water, and it would boil in a short time.
He rubbed his hands together, exhaling a breath of warm air, then carefully took out a notebook from the jacket of his clothes, and began to read through it by the light of the fire.
This notebook is a record of his travels, recording his experiences during his travels.
In the past, he didn't have the habit of writing a diary. After all, his experiences were no different from those of ordinary adventurers.
But subsequent experiences changed his mind.
He was trapped in a cave and escaped through the notes left by his predecessors.
At that time, he was thinking whether he should also record his experiences on the journey so that he could leave something behind after his death.
He learned the recording methods of his predecessors and recorded his experiences bit by bit about his journey.
[June 3rd, this is my second time to the Snow Mountain. Although I almost died here the first time, I am obviously not someone who will give up easily.]
[On June 5th, following the guidance of my senior’s diary, I came to an abandoned ruins. This ruins had been abandoned for quite a long time, and it was completely impossible to tell what the building had been used for before.
There are a lot of mechanisms here, as well as some ruin monsters. I carefully lured those monsters away one by one and solved them.]
[On June 6, I tried my best to unlock the mechanism here. The stone wall rotated, revealing a road. There was no light on this road, and I didn’t know where it led. I was not ready to go in and take a look.
】
[On June 8th, I went to the camp at the foot of the mountain for supplies, replenished food, and brought enough torches to burn for three days and three nights. I returned to the ruins and opened the door again. 】
[On June 9th, I don’t know how long I walked along the passage, and I saw a lot of murals. These murals should be from a long time ago, and some of the paint is no longer even clear, but it was enough for me to see and record them clearly.
】
[In the mural, at the beginning, a group of people danced around a huge old tree, as if they were offering sacrifices. A man put on a crown in front of the big tree, and the people in front of him knelt on one knee. He held up his scepter and became
The first king here.
Every once in a while, the king would offer sacrifices under the big tree to pray for the country's stability and good weather.
Under the command of the king, people built magnificent buildings and carved murals on the walls. This gathering place without the protection of gods and without many people began to take the shape of a country.
Gradually, there was a princess beside the king.
As the princess grew up, she and Ziming worshiped the huge pure white ancient tree together.
However, the good times did not last long. Punishment from the sky came. The ancient trees withered and the earth froze.
Heavy snow began to fall on this land, and the cold caused the people to die one after another. The people knelt to the sky and begged for forgiveness.
The old king died in the severe cold. The princess took over the responsibilities of the old king and led the people to live a new life in this cold world. She sent a warrior to the outside world in an attempt to find a way to obtain forgiveness from the sky.
The wind and snow got worse and worse, people died one after another, and the brave man who went out never came back.]
