Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!

Chapter 11 Executive Officer

As Columbia waved her hand gently, a carriage soon came and Columbia stood in front of the door.

Maizelen was a little confused. Did he want to open the door for her himself?

Maizeron opened the door for Columbia, and Columbia got on the carriage with a chuckle. Then Maizeron also got on the carriage.

"Go to the Winter Palace~"

"Yes, Mr. Executive!"

The coachman drove the carriage towards the palace in the city center without hesitation. Mazeren watched but did not ask any questions.

"You want to ask why he gave us a ride, right~"

Mazeren nodded, and Columbia sat next to him, gently brushing away the snowflakes on Mazeren's head.

"In Solstice, the authorities are very simple and clear. They are Her Majesty the Queen, the Chief, and the eleven executive officers. These three authorities can use all facilities in Solstice, and all Solstice citizens must unconditionally cooperate with the executive officers."

"You are an executive officer too?"

"Yeah, I'm also an executive officer."

"Although I don't remember who I am, I remember that I came to Winter Solstice to find the third seat of the Executor."

"Well, I wonder what you're doing with the Third Executive Officer."

"I should hold her and look at her."

"Hmm~ That's why."

"I'm sorry, I don't remember. That's all I remember. As for why I did this, I really don't remember."

"I believe you, Maizelen. By the way, don't you want to meet the third seat?"

"If you want to see the Third Seat, you first need to become an executive officer."

"And if you want to become an executive officer, you need to show your worth to Her Majesty the Queen."

"There are usually two ways. The first is that you are outstanding in some aspect, such as military, politics, business, espionage, education, etc."

"The second method is much simpler. It involves force. You challenge an executive officer. If you defeat him, you can take his seat. At the same time, he will be demoted."

"If you want to see the third executive officer, you must approach her. I recommend that you challenge the fourth officer."

Maizelen was silent. He didn't expect that meeting a third seat would be so troublesome, but he still nodded to accept it.

"I choose the second option and challenge for the fourth seat."

Columbia was not surprised to hear Mazeren's answer. Instead, she was very happy to introduce the information about the fourth seat, Kugavina, to Mazeren.

I can only say that you are worthy of being a black-hearted fairy. Kugavina looks down on Pucciniella and Pantalone because they only know how to hide in the winter. There is no conflict of interest between Kugavina and you. Is it really okay to cheat your colleagues like this?

"The fourth seat is Kugavina, who is in charge of intelligence work and the head of the Hearth House. Her direct troops call her "children" and she is the mother. Her intelligence network has won over the six countries. Although she is responsible for intelligence, she is actually very powerful in terms of military force."

"Kugavina" Fire God's Eye, Thunder Evil Eye, Weapon "Red Moon Shape" A sickle that can transform vitality into power. Be careful not to get scratched."

"Her talent "Between Life and Death" puts Kugavina into combat mode, and her power increases over time. Likewise, she loses life force."

"[Transformation of Life and Death] Kugavina will turn into a blood thorn and rush towards you. After appearing behind you, she will mark you with the Curse of Life and Death. At the same time, Kugavina will sacrifice part of her own blood. After the blood sacrifice, the Curse of Life and Death will be detonated. When the Curse of Life and Death is detonated, your vitality will be converted into her vitality."

"In the Land of Life and Death, Kugavina will pull you into a dark space where all five senses will be blocked."

"Kugavina, the Death of Life and Death, will use part of her own life force to nourish the sickle in her hand. The sickle will become more powerful, and each of the following moves will be an elemental attack. When it reaches a critical point, it will devour the owner, and then the blood light in the explosion range will plunder all the vitality within the range. "

"That's about it. Kugavina doesn't care about the order. If we're just sparring, she'll only use the first three moves."

"I understand, Columbia."

"By the way, Columbia, which seat are you in?"

"I~ You'll know when you become the fourth seat, but before that, keep it a little mysterious~"

Soon the carriage stopped in front of the Winter Palace. The remaining carriages were not allowed to enter, so Columbia took Mazeren in.

It is called a palace, but it is actually a huge arsenal. In addition to the main hall, there are twelve palaces around it to protect it.

"The main palace is where Her Majesty the Queen resides, and the twelve palaces are where the executive officers live. The palace closest to the Queen is where the coordinator, Mr. Piero, resides."

"The rest are the Military Palace, the Laboratory, the Song Spirit Palace, the Fireplace Master House, the City Hall, the Qiye Jizhao Secret Main Hall, the Puppet Theater, the Witch's House, the North Country Bank, and the Martial Arts Hall."

"There is one empty seat, right? Because the tenth seat has been vacant for a long time, and this palace has been unused."

"But now that you've joined us, it's just perfect~"

"The names of these palaces are all related to their respective executive officers. But I want to ask, why is this seven-leaf one so long?"

"Ah~ You're talking about Scaramucci. He's a noisy kid. Of course, it may also be related to his experience, but I won't go into details."

Mazeren nodded, and Columbia introduced him to the buildings, facilities, and uses of the Winter Palace.

Following Columbia, we arrived at the door of the main hall. The tall door seemed to be for giants to pass through. With the sound of gears, the door slowly opened.

A dark, chilly passage appeared before the two of them, and Columbia put her cloak on Mazeren.

"Maizeron, you have not yet been blessed by the Queen, so you cannot bear her authority. I will lend you this cloak first."

Mazeren looked at Columbia who was only wearing a thin white dress, and put the cloak on her again.

"Don't worry about me..."

A ray of purple light flashed on Maizeren's robe, and the robe seemed to be activated. The mountains, rivers, birds and beasts on it seemed to come alive, and immortal power flowed, isolating the cold air outside.

"This dress of yours... is his power. Now I am curious about who you are."

Columbia, who had been smiling all the time, stopped smiling at this moment. Instead, she looked a little serious and her tone became a little colder.

"Sorry, I don't remember."

"I have another piece of this dress in my Eye of God."

As he spoke, Mazeren took out spare clothes from the Eye of God space, and Columbia felt them carefully.

"Sure enough, it's the power of Morax. What a pity that you really have lost your memory, otherwise I would be quite curious about your relationship with him."

"Forget it, just go in."

Columbia returned the clothes to Mazeren, who put them into the God's Eye space and followed Columbia.

The further they went in, the colder it became. Immortal power alone was no longer enough to defend against the cold, but then a golden barrier appeared on Maizeren's clothes, isolating the cold air outside.

"Sure enough, it is the power of Morax. Meizelen, it seems that your identity is not simple."

Mazeren shook his head, ignoring Columbia's inquiring gaze.

Following Columbia, we turned left and right and arrived at a hall. There were twelve stands on the walls around it. In front of Maizeron was a high platform, and on the platform was an icy throne.

"Columbia, you summoned us from our busy schedule. I hope you have something important to tell us."

A tall man with a white beard and a mask appeared on the first stand.

"Pierrot"

"Girl, my experiment is at a critical moment."

A young man wearing a bird-beak mask and shaking a test tube in his hand spoke to Columbia with a smile.

Doctor Dottore

"Hmph! Wasting time, hurry up if you need anything."

Scaramucci

"Haha, since the girl has gathered us here, there must be something important. You should be patient."

Pantalone the Rich

"Well, there are still a lot of affairs to attend to at the City Hall. Young lady, I can only stay here for an hour."

Pucciniera "The Rooster"
