Chapter 156 Heading to the Snowy Mountains
[Wang Hao, do you want to follow the main storyline and fight Tevarin? ]

[Yes, do you want to follow the main storyline? ]

[The main storyline will take a long time. I remember doing multiple tasks in preparation.]

[Wendy didn't want to fight Tevarin at first, he wanted to resolve the issue peacefully.]

[Oh, I remember now, the next part is the story of the Sky Harp. 】

【…】

On the way back to the embassy, ​​Wang Hao was carrying three cups of juice, watching the questions from the comments.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Hao denied the comments in the barrage.

"No, I won't follow them all the time. I'll just take a look at them when it's critical. I have other things to do."

Although according to the comments, Ying is the protagonist, and following her will definitely bring you a lot of benefits.

But for Wang Hao, such profits are still not big enough.

Why should I follow?
For example, Ying’s current mission is to resolve the dragon disaster brought by Tevarin.

Everything she is doing now is actually paving the way for the final decisive battle and is a preparation.

Wang Hao didn't need to watch the preparatory work at all.

Wang Hao just needs to go and take a look when they go to fight Tevarin.

The time saved is enough for Wang Hao to do many things.

For example... go and take a look at the snow-capped mountains.

After swallowing some dirty blood fragments, Wang Hao's strength increased again, which made him very interested in Du Lin's heart in the snow mountain.

If swallowing a little bit of crumbs can make you stronger, then if you eat them all, you will be able to take off.

Moreover, after swallowing this heart, Wang Hao will be more confident in dealing with the Wind Demon Dragon.

Even though he defeated the opponent last time, the Wind Demon Dragon's actual strength is higher than Wang Hao's.

It's just a wind dragon, crazy, evil and deaf, so it can't display its actual strength.

If Wang Hao really faced the rational East Wind Dragon Tevarin, it would be unlikely for him to win.

Because the opponent will not land at all, as long as we occupy air supremacy, the endless storm can destroy everything.

As for Wang Hao's throwing spear, sorry, there is only one Yuhua Oath, and Wang Hao can't always throw it without being sure.

Ordinary spears might not be able to break through Tevarin's defense, or might not be able to withstand Wang Hao's power.

All in all, it's a rather embarrassing situation.
Faced with flying enemies, Wang Hao still lacked means to deal with them.

"By the way, besides the Durin's Heart you mentioned, is there anything else worth noting on the snowy mountain?"

Wang Hao asked the comments.

He remembered that the barrage said that there were many ruins on the snow mountain.

However, Wang Hao did not pay much attention to what specific things to pay attention to.

He was only thinking about Du Lin's heart.

[On the snowy mountain, the Frost Nail? ]

[And the real overlord of the snowy mountains. 】

[The Wild Boar King, right?]

[I remember there were many tillers left by Kanreya.]

[There is also a branch of an ancient silver tree. ]

[Damn, now that I think about it, there are so many things on the snowy mountain.]

【…】

The barrage of comments gave out information one after another.

Wang Hao watched quietly, and suddenly asked: "Is there anything else related to the Demon God, or the Demon God level?"

His sudden words caused the barrage of comments to pause for a moment.

[Why do I feel that... Wang Hao is particularly interested in the devil. 】

[It seems so. He also asked us about the Lone King of the Tower and the Salt God Ruins before. ]

【Brothers, I have a bold guess】

[It is known that Wang Hao's power increase speed is very abnormal, and he often asks us about the demon god. In addition, he has come into contact with the demon god's resentment many times...]

【so what? 】

[So, could Wang Hao use something like the devil's resentment to improve himself? ]

[What a great guess, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense. ]

【…】

The barrage did not answer Wang Hao's question this time, but instead there were different voices.
The power that Wang Hao had displayed before was completely different from the power that the commentators knew about Wang Hao.

Therefore, even the commentators couldn't help but wonder where Wang Hao's power came from.

In fact, we have been together for such a long time.

The barrage of comments were also clear about some of the things that were not right with Wang Hao.

After all, it is not normal for one Eye of God to control two elements.

Moreover, Wang Hao's strength is increasing too fast.
It's even almost to the point of being outrageous.

At the beginning, he had a hard time beating a gangster and needed Keqing's help.

Later, I went to practice martial arts and went down the mountain to fight the demon. At that time, the barrage thought it was the three little ones working together, so I didn't pay much attention.

Later on, the killing of Yan Li and the wiping out of the Fatui showed that Wang Hao was growing rapidly.

It was not until Wang Hao shot Tevarin through the head that the barrage realized that Wang Hao had grown to this extent.

This is not reasonable.

Because Wang Hao has also been under their observation in the past two years.

So they had more suspicion.
After Wang Hao asked again, he also asked Wang Hao questions.

Is it possible to strengthen oneself through the power of the devil?

After a moment of silence, Wang Hao nodded slightly: "I do need the remains of the Demon God to strengthen myself."

[Fuck, I knew it.]

[It seems that we are not your biggest golden finger. 】

[You really are the protagonist. ]

[Damn it, I am still alive. 】

【Why do all the good things belong to you?】

【…】

Barrage...the crowd was in an uproar.

Just think about it, the barrage originally thought that they were Wang Hao’s biggest golden finger, and they were enjoying the satisfaction of raising Wang Hao.

But now, Wang Hao told them that he actually had a golden finger.

Isn't this a kind of NTR?

Especially many comments that regard Wang Hao as a friend.

We hope you get better and better, but we don’t want you to take off all of a sudden.

[There is a feeling that my brother really has Land Rover. 】

[I thought we were going through thick and thin together, but I didn't expect that Wang Hao would give you special treatment.]

[It's really hard to hold your breath. You've been hiding this from us. ]

[That’s right, you actually hid it from us. ]

[Damn it, Wang Hao. ]

【The bad boy is getting worse. 】

The comments were full of condemnation of Wang Hao.

Wang Hao didn't care much.

When he was with Keqing and the barrage was turned off, the insults were even more unpleasant.

It was just some small venting, Wang Hao could naturally see it.

After letting the comments curse for a while, Wang Hao smiled and said, "But you didn't tell me, what are you?"

【…】

【…】

[It's bad. He has caught me. ]

[We wanted to say it, but we couldn’t. ]

[Hello everyone, I am Hu Tutu from Room 2, Building 1001, Fandou Garden, Fandou Street]

[My father's name is Hu Yingjun, my mother's name is Zhang Xiaoli, my name is Hu Tutu, my brother's name is Zhuangzhuang, and my grandfather's last name is Niu. Come and see if I do it or not, and you'll be done.]

【I'm waiting for you on Shenyang Street. 】

【…】

Watching the barrage turn into a mess, Wang Hao's mouth curled up slightly.

In the past four years, although he has tried to find out the origin of the barrage more than once, it was the same every time. It either turned into garbled characters, **, or some nonsense.

Just can't tell their true origins.

In fact, Wang Hao has learned about the so-called barrage. In their explanation, barrage is the commentary subtitles sent by the audience when watching videos or live broadcasts.

In other words, behind every [account] that sends a barrage, there should be a [person].

But behind these [people], what truly manages the entire barrage system is something that these [people] cannot influence.

In their explanation, it should be called a platform.

But for Wang Hao, it should be a higher-level existence. In other words, the barrage that appeared in Wang Hao's eyes should actually be an intersection of higher-level dimensions.

And this intersection is controllable. There is an existence that Wang Hao cannot understand for the time being, controlling everything.

He allowed the existence behind the barrage to observe Wang Hao, and also allowed Wang Hao to refuse the observation of the barrage.

This "He" who may or may not exist is the one who truly controls the barrage.

Of course, this is just Wang Hao’s current inference and not necessarily the truth.

On the intellectual level, he is not yet capable of understanding something so profound.

But it did not prevent Wang Hao from using this guess to deal with the barrage.

The barrage said that Wang Hao had a little secret, so Wang Hao said that the barrage also had a little secret.

Everyone has little secrets. If we give each other a way out, the matter will be over.

The barrage was noisy for a while before returning to normal.

Returning to the previous topic—Wang Hao can use the remnants of the demon god to become stronger.

Putting aside the unhappiness of Wang Hao hiding his little secret from them,
For many comments, Wang Hao showed a very cool way to become stronger, and they were actually very happy about it.

It is equivalent to the character you raised having more room to grow.

It will be more enjoyable to watch later.

With this mood, the barrage began to brainstorm.

[As for Mondstadt, there is Durin in the snowy mountains, a tall tower in the ancient city, the remnants of the Temple of Time overseas, and a king wolf...]

[There are Salt God Ruins in Liyue, and Osel is sealed in them. But it seems that there are other demon gods, who are also sealed in there by the Emperor...]

[Inazuma went straight to the wreckage of Orobas. It was very large and conspicuous...]

[It seems that there are no demon gods left in Xumi...]

[Little Jixiang Grass King is still in solitary confinement. ]

[There may be power left by the Red King or other gods in the desert. Don't forget that the desert is the main battlefield of the Kanreya War.]

[In Fontaine's case, what was Dulin's brother, Melusin's father, called? ]

[Erinus, one of the works of 'Gold' Rhinodot, a giant beast brought from the deep universe.]

[Ah? Wasn't it created by the power of the abyss? What does it have to do with the universe? ]

[I don’t know, but that’s what the text says anyway.]

【…】

The commentators began to cite a large number of examples.

Wang Hao looked at it carefully.

Among them, Wang Hao has already made preparations for the two places in Liyue.

Whether it is the ruins of the Salt God or the seal of Guyun Pavilion, Wang Hao will not let them go.

As for other places, they are too far away now.

Therefore, Wang Hao focused his main attention on the Mond area.

Snow-capped mountains, the Wolf Territory, the ruins of the ancient capital occupied by the Wind Dragon, and... the remains of the Time Temple overseas?

There was a hint of surprise in Wang Hao's eyes.

If you count it this way, Mond has quite a lot.

It’s a pity that I have spent the past two years.

Of course, Wang Hao has no regrets. After all, his main responsibility is to maintain the relationship between Liyue and Mondstadt.

There wasn't much need for increased strength before.

However, now that the traveler has appeared, I naturally have to become stronger quickly.

Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the snow mountain first, and then go to see the one from the Wolf Leader. After a while, the traveler should have completed the 'preliminary task'."

It just so happens that the damage caused by the dragon disaster needs to be dealt with, and the entire Mondstadt is still under repair.

There are not many large-scale diplomatic events held, so Wang Hao can completely leave the affairs to others.

Let Shi Jie and Zhi Yi suffer more, and I will take the blame.

Wang Hao had a merciless look on his face.

Anyway, he didn't want to deal with those trivial matters anymore.

Back to the embassy,

Wang Hao told the two of them about the arrangements for the next steps.

Shi Jie is responsible for internal arrangements, while Zhi Yi is responsible for external arrangements.

Wang Hao is going to be away for a while.

Shi Jie felt a little resentful about this. It was impossible for an ambassador to leave the embassy for so long.

But Zhiyi was happy, as he thought this was adding to his burden.

Wang Hao didn't care what the two thought and left the embassy quickly.
However, he left numbers 4 to 7 at the embassy and only took number 3 with him.

If anything happens, Shi Jie and his men can also ask the few remaining warriors to find Wang Hao and pass on the message.

Like No. 3, they have all signed a contract and can use the power of the contract to sense Wang Hao's location.

Depart from Mondstadt and head to Dragonspine Snow Mountain.

You need to first walk along the road next to the wind rising area, then enter the area of ​​the howling hillside, and then walk a distance towards the Dadaupa Valley.
Turn at the three-way intersection before Dadaupa Valley.

After walking for another half a day, you can see the adventurer camp set up under the snow-capped mountains.
The manager of the Snow Mountain Adventurer Camp is Sister Yuxia.
Of course, the title of sister is given by other adventurers or people who come here.

She is a very, very reliable person.
At least more reliable than her brother.

Oh, her brother is Serius, the branch president of the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild.

They had once gone on adventures together as siblings and were considered very famous adventurers. Wang Hao had once inquired about many adventurers in order to find out about his parents.

Among them is the story of these two siblings.

In addition, Sister Yuxia has also been commissioned to serve as the branch president of the Adventurer's Association.
However, she rejected it.

If she agrees, then she will most likely be the president of the Liyue branch.

Yes, Sister Yuxia has a very typical Liyue appearance.

Many people are curious about the appearance of these two siblings, one from Mondstadt and the other from Liyue.

However, this seemed to involve their parents, and neither of them explained it.

When Wang Hao arrived here,
I saw a scholar talking to Sister Yuxia.

"Sister Yuxia, are there any adventurer teams going to the snowy mountains recently? I really need to go up there again."

The scholar wore glasses, had brown hair, and was dressed in very typical Mond style clothes.

Yuxia shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry, Stevens, the last time you left the camp alone, everyone was scared. In the next three months, no one will be willing to take you to the snowy mountains."

"What? What about my research? The ancient civilization on the snowy mountain is still waiting for me. I..."

Scholar Stevens looked sad and indeed seemed to like the Snow Mountain Civilization.

Sister Yuxia looked like she had a headache, and then she took out an ancient book and said, "Okay, okay, it's impossible for you to go up the mountain, but I also told everyone to pay attention to the ancient books in the snow mountain ruins. You just wait down there."

As he said this, he threw the ancient book in his hand to Stevens.

The scholar changed his sad expression and put a smile on his face again.

"Haha, I knew that Sister Yuxia, you are the best."

As he said this, he took out a bag of Mora from his arms.
"This is a deposit. If there are more ancient books, I will take them all. Compared to weapons, coins and the like, these documents are the real treasures."

Wang Hao watched them from a distance and listened to their conversation.
His gaze rested particularly on the scholar.

[What's wrong? Why is Wang Hao staring at this person? ]

【Calling the originator. 】

[Stevens, a scholar studying Snow Mountain civilization, is stationed in the Snow Mountain camp. In addition, he should have a holy relic. ]

[Holy Relic?]

[Good fellow, we haven't seen many holy relics in all these years. ]

[After all, this is not a game. Holy relics are the result of the ultimate spiritual desires of human beings or civilizations. It is impossible for holy relics to be everywhere. ]

[Normally speaking, in the Teyvat world where Wang Hao is currently, any holy relic is unique.]

[It’s hard to say. Human wisdom is endless. Maybe they have already developed a process for replicating holy relics.]

[Sacred relics are the inheritance of stories and spirits. If it is not subjective, then there is indeed a possibility of reproduction. 】

[The originist is talking incomprehensible words again. Just tell me, what kind of holy relic is this person carrying? ]

【Ice and Snow Set, Crown.】

【Thank you, Yuanxuejia. Please take care. 】

【…】

Holy relic?
The barrage gave information, and Wang Hao naturally knew what the strange aura he felt from the other party was.

That kind of unshakable belief, like solid ice, was probably the feeling that the other party's holy relic gave Wang Hao.

"Hello, excuse me, is there a map of the snow mountain here?" Wang Hao walked forward and asked Sister Yuxia.

"Hmm? I seem to have seen you somewhere?" Hearing Wang Hao's voice, Sister Yuxia turned her head, glanced at him, and felt somewhat familiar.

In fact, Yuxia rarely goes back to Mondstadt, otherwise she would definitely be more familiar with it.

The Adventurer's Association is an important member of Mondstadt. Often, when Wang Hao attends banquets, the top leaders of the Adventurer's Association will also be present.

Yuxia probably saw Wang Hao at some gathering.

Many prominent people in Mond know Wang Hao in this way.

"Maybe it was at some banquet. I also felt that Sister Yuxia looked familiar." Wang Hao said with a smile.

"Well, that makes sense." Yuxia nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Hao, "You're going to the snowy mountains? Just alone? Have you prepared any supplies, such as thermos bottles? If not, that won't work."
