Chapter 963: Winter, Funeral and Planning

When Jiang Yi took Heulia to visit the new era and went to Yuehai Pavilion to discuss Fusheng Technology Rune Company with Keqing and Ningguang, in that distant winter... last night.

"call--!"

The sky was dark, and beneath the howling snow and wind there was a faint red flame.

The red flame was not a lamp that warmed people's skin, but an immortal butterfly.

The Flame Immortal Butterfly stumbled forward against the strong wind and blizzard, unafraid of the severe cold of the extreme winter. While being blown back again and again, it flapped its wings again and again, flying towards the destination in its heart.

This is the night sky without the sun or the moon, this is the deathly silent sky in the far north.

There is a faint singing voice coming from afar, it is a lullaby sung by a young girl, soothing, comforting and gentle surrounding this extremely cold winter night.

The Flame Immortal Butterfly came to a towering church in the middle of winter. The church had a white glow of ice and snow, which was so conspicuous in the dark night.

Inside the church, light from the windows illuminates a black and white chessboard.

On the black and white grids, the black and white chess pieces, chariots, horses, soldiers, elephants, and queens are arranged alternately, as if they are fighting each other.

The most eye-catching thing is the golden and blue heart of God inside, emitting elemental light.

Outside the chessboard, there are two black pieces standing and two black pieces falling to the ground.

"The wise men think they know everything, but we only understand the morality behind those foolish actions." A deep, majestic and mysterious voice resounded throughout the silent church.

The tall figure was buried in the darkness.

He took out from his sleeve a glowing black and white chess piece that was different from all the black and white chess pieces on the field.

There is still some warmth on top that has just been made.

"It is impossible to define... a chess game from another world."

"boom!"

The black and white chess pieces fell on the chessboard. The unique colors made it seem like it could transform into any side at any time, or break away from it.

It doesn't fit in on the black and white chessboard.

A white horse-shaped chess piece glowed, and under the gaze of the black and white chess pieces, it collided with a black chess piece.

"boom!"

Black chess piece falls to the ground.

“In a war, there is no such thing as a discarded pawn. Once you enter the game, you are no longer aloof.” The man with a deep and mysterious voice stretched out his white-gloved hand, and a flaming immortal butterfly flew in.

"Because for this game, 'checkmate' is not the end."

The Flame Immortal Butterfly landed on the fallen black chess piece on the chessboard and fluttered its wings slightly.

The lullaby sung by the girl still lightly surrounds the entire church.

The lights were dim, shadows and light were intertwined, and the vast and empty church had rows of neatly arranged chairs, with no one on them.

Marble pillars support the tall dome of the church, with many vertical ice and snow flags with blue and red backgrounds hung on it. At the bottom of the long flags, there is a flag covered with cold frost.

The darkness was deep, and the light was at one end of the church hall.

One after another, men and women wearing winter executive coats, with crystal cones of different colors hanging on their bodies, looked forward together.

There, there is an exquisite coffin carved with the symbol of winter.

The light shone, and a girl with black and red hair, wearing an executive coat, lay on the coffin with her hands folded, her eyes closed, wearing a hollow white eye mask, humming softly, and the feather decoration on her head was holy and white.

An executive with short stature, pointy ears, a pointy nose, glasses, a white beard, and a blue top hat, leaning on a cane in both hands, with an oppressive feeling that did not match his body shape.

He spoke slowly, and when everyone was present, he made the announcement.

"We are gathered here today to commemorate our good companion. Her sacrifice is worth a full half-day stoppage for the entire winter."

His glasses reflected the light, and his squinting eyes opened, revealing golden pupils.

It has been unknown how much time has passed since the last time all the Fatui executive officers were summoned.

A tall, handsome, bespectacled man with hands folded and wearing multiple purple rings emerged from the darkness and spoke with a smile.

"Only half a day... They say that the Northland Bank is circulated with blood, tears and wailing, but Mr. Mayor, your values ​​are even more twisted than mine, a banker."

A woman came forward, her hair was silver-white in the light, her pupils were dark and crisscrossed with red crosses, revealing a cold and hard feeling.

"Rosaline fell in a strange land... her power and wishes were taken away by others. Only a thought remained to return to Winter. Her soul fell into the land of Mondstadt, which she hated the most."

"These experiences should be unimaginable for you wealthy businessmen and politicians who lack empathy and can only find excuses to hide in the winter..."

The red crystal cone on her executive officer's coat shook: "In that case, just shut up."

"Otherwise the children will cry."

The gentle man smiled.

The young man with short brown hair, a red scarf, and an executive coat crossed his arms across his chest: "Hey, hey! Even I think this is not a suitable place for a 'fight'."

“No one knows what Rosalyn’s final thoughts were.”

"When she was in Mond, she once reported information about Jiang Yi." The young master raised his hand.

"Come to think of it, Lord Tartaglia, you use up the Mora of Liyue Northern Bank very quickly!" The gentleman chuckled.

"Hey, hey!" The young master was speechless, "Don't mind Mora!"

"Ha!" A huge human-shaped puppet, sturdy and strong, wearing a hat, used his big hands as a chair, holding up a girl in a noble lady's long skirt, a flowered hat, and an executive coat.

The blue-eyed girl lowered her eyes.

"Ridiculous!"

This mocking voice silenced the young master.

"Just because you restored the West Wind War Dance?" said the tall man next to him who was wearing a mask and whose face could not be seen clearly. "Boring! Who of you will take back Lowfat's power and wish?"

The scene was quiet. The man looked around and talked about another important matter.

"Although the means used were tarnished by honor, her sacrifice is still regrettable. The arrival of changes and the departure of Lowefat will not stop us from moving forward."

"What about 'Dottore', 'Scaramuzi' and Inazuma's Heart of God?"

Hearing his question, the doctor with blue hair and executive coat held the potion and shook the blue liquid inside.

"The grand curtain is opening, what an extraordinary promotion..."

"Common sense in the world believes that 'God's Spiritual Knowledge' is a sacred knowledge that cannot be understood by reason. After conquering 'God's Eyes', he will take a new step..."

Two sentences, two people.

The noisy hall gradually became quiet, and everyone fell into their own thoughts.

Only the ethereal and ethereal singing voice remains, bringing people to sleep.

The funeral was still a solemn one.

The footsteps stepped out, revealing a figure.

"It's time to end this foolish play of the night..." A tall man walked out from the shadows, with a weathered and resolute face, wearing a half mask and long platinum hair.

His voice was deep and majestic, and he looked at the many executive officers.

"You have no audience at the moment!"

The minds of executives lie in the shadows.

They gathered on both sides of the coffin in the hall, including the girl who had just been lying on the coffin.

A tall, half-masked man stood alone at one end of the coffin, with eight executioners in front of him.

“All noble sacrifices will be engraved on the ice and last forever with the country.” He led the mourning ceremony, and nine people bowed their heads under the light.

Let's observe a moment of silence for the lady.

It was not until three minutes later that the magnificent and resolute voice sounded again.

"Under the command of the noble Ice Queen, we will seize the power of the gods..."

In the sky, the wind and snow disappeared, the night sky was full of stars, and the blue-green aurora flowed and changed brilliantly.

The will of God has arrived, vast and majestic.

Frost spread out from the gate of the church, and continued to spread, turning into ice that froze the entire church. Countless ice cones rose in the square, blocking people from disturbing them.

Inside, gorgeous and huge ice flowers bloomed outside the coffin.

The executives were watching from the outside.

The man's voice still echoed.

To him, whether there was a soul in the coffin or not, it was the sleeping Rosaline, the executor of Winter.

"You may be sleeping in this coffin, in the ice, but... Rosaline, I promise you..."

"Your coffin will be the entire 'Old World'."

Military boots stepping.

The flaming immortal butterfly landed on the coffin, burned into flames, and gradually disappeared.

A new piece of information arrived through the delivery portal.

"The Bodhisattva Wonderful Leaf Master has saved all sentient beings and brought them back to the Liyuan and Dihuazhou..."

The doctor looked at the information and said, "What a pity!"

He regretted that he was not there to observe.

"I guess... now he can't use much strength to suppress the hatred of the gods in his body! The previous experiments are really valuable references." The doctor smiled and analyzed.

"But it will be a greater threat! Especially to you... Doctor! What do you think he will do to you when he finds the chance?" The girl with long black and red hair intertwined and eyes closed, wearing a hollow eye mask, spoke.

"Poor 'Dottore'..." The doctor did not respond, but said, "According to the intelligence, he has a lust for young girls. Are you free, Columbia?"

"Ha! You are so ruthless, Doctor!" The girl Columbia smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I will end up on the same side as him?"

"Well! Maybe this is also a new experiment for you." The girl's voice was still calm and lifeless.

The doctor did not comment: "I will make arrangements in Xumi and invite you to help prevent his arrival..."

There are not many executive officers today who possess the fighting power of gods.

"Will you change my appearance?" The girl smiled. To approach the changes in the outside world, she needed to be well prepared. "I won't listen to your arrangements when I get to Xumi."

"Please ask Her Majesty the Ice Queen to bring down more power..." the doctor said to the girl, "Just in case."

How to ask Her Majesty the Ice Queen to descend upon her power is another plan.

"Then let me ask you... Doctor, where is the slice of you in your prime now? You look very young today!" the girl asked.

Being young is hardly a flattering thing to a doctor.

The doctor looked up at the dawn, and it was as if he saw charred mountains, a burning sea of ​​fire, and an enormous tree that was burning, red and dazzling, hot and beautiful.

"During an experiment...on 'blasphemy'..." he replied.

……

It's noon.

In the distance on Xumi, a girl who was taking a nap on the table was suddenly awakened.

She has long green hair, clothing with the characteristics of Xumi, and divine eyes of grass element.

"Cole, go patrol the forest." Someone called.

"Got it, Master Tinari!" the girl responded, looking at her hands and the restlessness coming from within that made her heart beat faster.

"What just happened was..."

"Dream?"

She hadn't had a dream for a long time, especially in Xumi.

The strange scene in the dream seemed like the World Tree was burning.

"Strange!" The girl suppressed her doubts and went to work quickly.

On a piece of paper on the table, there was a picture of a rabbit earl.
