Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal
Chapter 525: The Mystery of the Trial (Part 1)
She was all too familiar with the Fallen Angel Troupe's reputation. In the past, she might have simply treated them as ordinary enemies.
However, after the tsunami in Sangang Bay, the insect plague in Shaling, and the thunderstorm in Linglang, she realized that what they did was no less than the Sangyang Rebellion of that year.
Rex's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a regular sound.
"You're right. So now, we need to constantly monitor the enemy's movements so we can prepare for the next crisis. I think you should be able to do that with your stealth abilities."
Pelville nodded. "Indeed, that's fine. But Lord Rex, isn't this conversation a bit frivolous?"
She subconsciously closed the door behind her, then walked silently to the door with light steps and quickly turned the handle.
Gordon——!
"Not good!" Tianlang reacted quickly, exerting elemental power to forcibly transfer everyone.
When Peruvian opened the door, it was already quiet outside.
"Run away? Pretty good reflexes." Then she turned to look at Rex, "As expected, your guest has been eavesdropping on our conversation since just now."
Rex stood by the window, sighed, and said calmly, "It's to be expected. It's okay, you know Tianlang. After all, he and I are colleagues, and the other four are his friends. Since they heard it, we don't have to explain it again."
As he said that, he turned and looked out the window again: "Let's go down first. At least don't treat them badly during this period of time."
……
On the other side of the castle, a shadow flashed by, and Tianlang, Mo Yan and others staggered into an empty corridor.
"That was a close call!" Kailin patted her chest, still feeling a lingering fear. "I almost got caught! Luckily you reacted quickly. That Peruvian is incredibly perceptive, isn't she?"
Tianlang smiled helplessly: "Otherwise, how can I become Rex's contractor?"
At this moment, Mo Yan realized: "Aren't you guys one of us? Is there really any need to run?"
"Oh, that's right." Tianlang was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head awkwardly and laughed, "Sorry, it's become a habit."
"Habit?" Zhao Heng raised his head slightly and asked in confusion.
"Oh, nothing, just the bad habit of eavesdropping I had before," he evaded.
"Huh? Something's wrong." Kailin said suspiciously, but quickly put on an indifferent attitude. "Forget it, let's first think of a way to deal with the glacier trial and those guys in the Fallen Angel Troupe."
"That's true." Zhao Heng lowered his head in thought. "From what I heard just now, the Fallen Angel Brigade has already stationed near the glacier, but it seems they haven't made any major moves yet."
"Is that guy trying to cause an avalanche and bury this place?" Karen asked worriedly.
"You're worrying too much." Sirius smiled. "Although the glacier is surrounded by icebergs, the terrain here has been carefully designed to avoid key areas. Even if the avalanche were to shift towards the nearby town, it would be protected by the barrier set up by Rexos. Therefore, they would return empty-handed."
"Is that so..." Kailin blinked blankly and was stunned for a few seconds.
Mo Yan sighed angrily, "Oh, so at this point, shouldn't we be considering the trial first? The glacier is not the abyss. With people like Rex and Miss Peruvian here, do we really need to worry about it?"
He folded his arms and looked cold.
"Um...that's true..." Zi Xuan said hesitantly.
"But speaking of the trial..." Kailin looked at Tianlang, "I was just about to ask, what exactly is it? You have to give us some clues, right? We can't just go in blindly, right?"
Tianlang spread his hands, a trace of helplessness on his face: "Well... to be honest, I'm not too sure."
Mo Yan looked at him: "Aren't you colleagues? Don't you know anything about me?"
Tianlang raised his head and folded his arms as he replied, "I can't say I know nothing, but I can only say it's minimal. Instead of asking me, it would be better to ask the contestants back then. After all, they risked their lives to earn this honor, and only they have the most experience to judge."
"Contestant? Glory?" Kailin keenly grasped these two words. "Wait, you mean, this trial... is public? Many people have participated?"
Tianlang nodded, then shook his head: "It's not wrong to say it's public. After all, the purpose of holding the trial is to select the contractors that are suitable for him."
"Then who are the contestants you mentioned who participated in the competition back then..." Zhao Heng pondered.
Tianlang lowered his hands: "Actually, you have already seen them. They are Ms. Pelvilli and Ms. Clavi."
"Is it them?"
The four people said almost in unison.
After the words fell, Kailin held her forehead and said, "It's over. If it was just Miss Clever, it would be fine, but I'm worried about that mushroom eye. You saw it too, the aura around her..."
"Mushroom Eyes?" Mo Yan tilted his head. "How long have we just met and you've already given me a nickname?"
"Well, there's nothing I can do. It's because she's so scary." Karen said, curling up her hands and feet.
"But no matter what, we have to ask them for information." Zixuan said.
"Well, that's true." Karen scratched her head.
"Then let's go back." Mo Yan said.
Zhao Heng nodded: "I agree."
Although she was reluctant, Kailin had to give in in order to go home. For a moment, the four of them looked at Tianlang again.
Tianlang was stunned: "Ah? Why is there something about me?"
Kailin put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course. You're the only one who's been to this castle, so you're the one who's going to lead the way."
Hearing this, Tianlang was speechless for a moment. Looking at the four people looking at him, he sighed helplessly and his shoulders slumped.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to find them." He shrugged and shook his head.
"That's right." Kailin laughed and nodded, and at this moment...
"Hey, who are you guys...looking for?" A clear, teasing female voice came from behind the crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Clevi standing there, her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward, with a curious and lively smile on her face, looking at them with her head tilted. Her red hair was particularly eye-catching in the light of the corridor wall lamp.
"Ms. Clavi?" Karen was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's me." Clavi smiled.
"Why are you here? Aren't you with Rex?" Mo Yan asked.
"Yes, it was the master who asked us to arrange accommodation for you, so we came." Cleverly said with a smile.
"We? Could it be that..." Karin's back tightened and she turned around stiffly. Sure enough, Peruvian had come quietly behind her without her knowing.
