Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 180 Aberdo

Noticing the other person's gaze, Huiyuan pretended not to see it.

Seeing that Huiyuan had looked away, Rosalia's tone became fierce.

"Who are you? And what's your purpose in getting involved with this 'Knight of Honor'? If your motives aren't pure... I'll have to take some action."

Paimon leaned forward, shocked. "Huh! The nuns of Mondstadt can arrest suspicious people?"

"At the very least, we can't turn a blind eye to obvious hidden dangers. Can't a nun have a sense of justice?"

After hearing Rosalia's words, Paimon was speechless and had no idea how to refute them.

After a careful explanation, Huiyuan revealed that he was the general who assisted the Knights in healing Dvalin.

Rosalia nodded, understood the situation, and then changed the subject.

"Let's talk about you. Why did you come to the snow mountain?"

Ying answered truthfully, "I'm here to see Mr. Abedo."

"Hmm... I specifically looked for his tracks beforehand. After the snow stopped, many people traveled to and from the snow-capped mountains, so hopefully the traces along the way haven't been covered up yet."

Seeing Rosalia do these things, Paimon asked, "Could it be that you're here to see him too?"

"No, it's more of a professional habit. I sensed residual elemental energy on these footprints, so it's always good to be cautious."

Upon hearing this, Ying was stunned.

So this is what the professional habits of nuns are?

"For a nun, you seem too mysterious...like a detective."

Rosalia ignored Ying's thoughts and turned to lead the way.

"I don't care what you think. Let's go. I'll go see what he's doing on the way."

Ying and Paimon had no choice but to follow, and Huiyuan followed closely behind.

Looking at the towering snow-capped mountains surrounded by blizzards, Huiyuan felt a sense of awe. The Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain before him was much larger than in the game.

Because it is a Teyvat of true scale, Huiyuan once calculated that if an ordinary person walked at a normal pace, it would take at least 100 hours of continuous walking without eating or drinking to walk from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt.

At the speed of the carriage, the journey took exactly 3 days, which matched the time it took for Hunyuan to go to Mondstadt for the first time.

The previous journey with Mona was made possible by the fact that everyone's physical abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people, and the wind element resonance within the team enabled them to reach Mondstadt within 24 hours.

When Hui Yuan was working as a porter at the dock, he heard a rumor.

It takes about 10 days to travel from Liyue to Inazuma. Because of thunderstorms on the way to Shanghai, the travel time is fixed at 10 days or more. So, one round trip takes about a month.

The wind and snow were blinding. After crossing a broken stone bridge, we entered the border of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

Stepping on the still relatively shallow snow, the group struggled to follow Rosalia forward.

Using the elemental vision, follow the footprints on the ground that appear to have been left by Abedo and start walking up the mountain.

Paimon disappeared into thin air because it was too cold, or perhaps he hid in some mysterious space. But worried about Luminous's condition, Paimon would come out to check on her from time to time.

Rosalia became curious about this elusive ability.

"Speaking of which, little floating object, I'm quite interested in your ability to suddenly disappear and reappear..."

Realizing the small floating object was referring to himself, Paimon asked with displeasure, "Huh? What's wrong?"

"...After committing the crime, they will be able to leave the scene silently."

"You're being far too suspicious! Why are you basing this on the assumption that I would commit a crime?"

Rosalia smiled with amusement, ignored Paimon, and continued leading the way.

The fog from the snowstorm had thickened to the point that the view below the mountain was obscured, and at the same time, the temperature was dropping lower and lower.

As Paimon rubbed his palms together, his upper and lower teeth began to chatter, and he was just short of snot running down his face, which then turned into icicles.

"Ugh...it seems to be getting colder. Rosalia, don't you feel cold?"

Paimon looked at Rosalia, who was dressed no more than him but didn't seem to feel the cold at all.

Rosalia's tone was very calm, and there was no trembling like when she was cold.

"Me? I'm alright, I'm used to operating in harsh environments."

"Well... should we say the nuns of the Church of the West Wind are very knowledgeable...?"

Seeing that Paimon was so afraid of the cold, Huiyuan snapped his fingers and created a heated space using trace amounts of fire and wind elements.

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief as his body temperature subsided.

"Thank you, Sister Lingling."

"You're welcome. Oh, by the way, I have a jacket, you can put it on."

As she spoke, Huiyuan summoned the top of the "Dawn" General Set from the Eye of God space.

Paimon wrapped himself up, feeling the warm weight, in a physical sense.

"Ugh, it's so heavy... Oh well, it's better than nothing."

Following the footprints, we passed a large iceberg, which seemed to contain something sealed inside.

After a system scan, Huiyuan learned that this was what the honeysuckle tree looked like before it thawed.

I didn't pay too much attention to it and kept moving forward, figuring out what was going on first and then figuring out what this thing was good for.

Perhaps watching it won't be worthwhile, since Huiyuan has no intention of exploring the snow-capped mountains and searching everywhere for crimson chalcedony.

It's not that the exploration process is boring, but rather that the speed at which you can earn Mora from these things might be less than that of reselling gems.

Continuing to follow the traces of the golden rock element, I don't know how far I walked, but the fog of the wind and snow had thinned considerably, and I finally found someone.

This person has blond hair, a youthful build, and is dressed in a way that gives off the air of a wise scholar. Standing in front of a drawing board, he looks like someone who has lived for a very long time, but whose age does not match his appearance.

Directly in front of him was a group of Hilichurls performing some kind of ritual.

"Is that Aberdo? Why would he be in a place like this?"

Paimon asked a question, and Rosalia replied, "I heard that Abedo loves to paint, so it's not surprising that he sketches anywhere. The view here is great, and the scenery is beautiful; both the distant and the close-up views are worth depicting."

"But...did he even notice these Hilichurls? What if he gets suddenly attacked?! —Meow?!"

As soon as Paimon asked the question, the Hilichurls turned their gazes toward them and attacked.

Including Abedo, who was drawing earlier, everyone worked together to wipe out the group of small Hilichurls.

With the crisis averted, Abedo looked over with a wary but discreet gaze.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing them? Luckily, my painting is finished. It would have been a shame if I hadn't been able to finish it for these special Hilichurls."

Hearing the youthful yet composed voice, Ying said, "So you're drawing Hilichurls."
