[After seeing the mural, I felt very heavy. I don't know if there are any murals behind, I hope there are, but the road has come to an end, I don't have much food, the torch is almost out, it's time for me to go out. 】
[On June 13th, it was already the 13th when I returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain. Unknowingly, I had already stayed on the snow-capped mountains for so many days. Even though some time has passed since I saw the mural, my heart is still quite heavy. 】
[What did that ancient country do that caused the sky to rain down punishment? What kind of punishment turned this place into a world of ice and snow? Will Mondstadt experience such a change one day?
no, I can not! Lord Barbatos will not sit back and watch this happen! 】
【October 21st. It's been a few months since I last left the snowy mountains, and I still can't let go of that mural. I desperately want to know what the punishment from the sky is. I looked through the diary of that senior, and he felt the same as me. 】
[On October 25, I came to the snow-capped mountains again. This time I stayed in the snow-capped mountains for half a month and found nothing except a few frozen wild boars. 】
[On November 28, York said that he found a cell in the Snowy Mountains. It was said that the old nobles of Mondstadt had been imprisoned. I am not interested. 】
[On January 17th, I discovered a place with a very strange terrain. It took me half a month to crack the mechanism. After the mechanism was opened, the ground sank, revealing a hole in the originally frozen place.
I jumped down happily, only to find that there was a powerful monster living inside, and I almost died in it. 】
[On March 8, I discovered a huge cave inside the snow-capped mountains. It's really big inside, but it's also quite dangerous. From time to time, icicles fall from above. Those Qiuqiu people seem to have been living in the cave, and I don’t know how long they have been here...]
【March 10. I walked all the way up the road in the cave, trying to reach the highest point of the snow-capped mountain. However, even if I came out from the highest exit, I was only halfway up the snow-capped mountain. How exactly does it take to get to the top of the mountain? 】
Install the latest version. 】
【May 15th. I plan to climb all the way up the snow-capped mountains until I reach the highest point of the snow-capped mountains. I have been preparing for this for a month. 】
[On May 18, I failed. The visibility got worse as we went higher. In the wind and snow, my limbs were stiff and I could see nothing but snow. He even fell down the mountainside because of the cold, but luckily he was rescued and was saved from freezing to death. 】
[November 9th, I have been practicing for more than half a year. After recovering, I tried to fly all the way to the top of the snow-capped mountains. However, I could not find any place nearby that was higher than the snow-capped mountains. 】
[On March 26, I entered the snow-capped mountains again. I found that there are more camps of fools in the snow-capped mountains, but fortunately these people generally don’t take action against passing adventurers, and I don’t know why these fools come to the snow-capped mountains...]
【January 1st. Another year passed and my questions still remained unanswered, and I still could not find any way to the top of the mountain. From time to time I look through the diaries left by my predecessors, trying to find some useful clues. 】
[On January 12, I found out what kind of tree they were offering sacrifices to. It turned out to be a leyline tree. However, what exactly does a leyline tree do? 】
[On January 15th, I picked up a frozen crown. This crown was quite old-fashioned, like white branches made of metal that were tied together. Because it was frozen, it still retained its original appearance very well. I took it to my scholar friends. 】
【February 18th. My scholar friend told me that this crown is called the Ice Ritual Crown. It should have been worn by previous sacrifices. It goes back quite a long time and has very high research value. 】
[On March 20, I continued searching along the place where I picked up the crown, and I found a stone tablet. A few short sentences are engraved on the stone tablet, recording that the country once had its capital here.
"Away from the ice, snow and strife, we arrived at the paradise land of green, so we erected this monument and made our capital here, calling it Shar Findnir."
I finally learned the name of this ancient country covered in ice and snow. It may be older than I thought. 】
[On March 29, I returned to Mondstadt to research some information, and also learned some history of Mondstadt. This country called Findnilde is indeed very old, even older than the founding of Mondstadt. 】
[During the ancient Demon War, the land of Mondstadt was filled with wind and snow and was completely unsuitable for human survival. The people of Mondstadt were imprisoned within high walls by a tyrant. At that time, the snowy mountains and Mondstadt were The land of Germany is completely different. It is a green paradise without ice and snow.
Later, Lord Barbatos, the god of wind, led the people of Mondstadt to overthrow the tyrant's rule, blew away the wind and snow, and established the free city-state of Mondstadt.
But that green country was eventually covered by ice and snow due to the punishment from the sky...]
Katis poured the boiled hot water into the thermos kettle while flipping through the diary.
Unconsciously, this snow-capped mountain has his footprints everywhere.
He looked at the darkness outside the cave and the white snowflakes falling in the sky. After a long time, he exhaled a breath of hot breath, turned the notebook to the latest page, and started writing on it with his frozen fingers.
【October 13th. This should be my last trip to the snowy mountains.
My health is no longer in good shape, and I have a lot of ailments from my past adventure life. My knees begin to ache whenever the cold weather comes, and my adventurous heart is not as firm as it was at the beginning.
I knew that if I didn’t start again, I might not have the courage to go up the mountain again in the future.
I don’t know if I can climb to the top of the mountain this time. I really want to know what the top of the mountain looks like...
So what exactly is the punishment that falls from the sky? Can the questions that have troubled me for so many years be answered this time?
Unfortunately, too much time has passed. This ancient country that was once covered by heavy snow has no information left except murals. I don’t even know in what time period they existed.
But one thing is certain, before the magic dragon plundered Mengde, this place was already a snow-capped mountain.
Maybe this country existed before Mengde was founded?
But after so long, the remains of Demon Dragon Du Ling have turned into withered bones, so there should be no trace of the punishment from the sky...]
Katis wrote down these scattered thoughts without missing any details.
Just like he once picked up the diary of his predecessor and learned the story of this dusty ancient country in the snow-capped mountains, one day, his diary will also guide the way for others.
