Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 583 Stop Playing Tricks Behind the Scenes

Rek'os remained silent, the icy flames in his eyes slowly receding, transforming back into a bottomless pool of cold water.

“It seems you know them better than I thought,” Rek'os said slowly, his tone returning to calm.

“Of course, once bitten, twice shy. They took advantage of me in the abyss, and I won’t make the same mistake twice. So this time I’m well prepared,” Rednos said with a smile.

"So, it's a pleasure to cooperate?" Rek'os extended his hand to Rednos.

“Yes, no need to be polite, it’s just a matter of mutual benefit.” Rednos nodded.

The two looked at each other and shook hands, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.

"Well then, I'll go make the arrangements now. Bye~"

Rednos turned around, but just as he reached the door, he was stopped by someone else.

"Wait a moment."

"Hmm? Is there something else?" Rednos turned around and looked back.

Rek'os crossed his arms and said, "Of course, although I agree to cooperate with you, it doesn't mean I'll condone your reckless behavior. You'd better not do anything underhanded within the glacier territory, or you'll know the consequences."

"Hmph, of course, I'm not that tactless," Rednos chuckled. "Well then, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he walked out the door, disappeared into the shadows the next second, as if he had never been there.

Silence returned to the office, leaving only Rek'os. He walked slowly to the window, gazing at the snowy world outside, his eyes filled with unfathomable thoughts.

……

Back in the room in the castle, the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Karin lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling and sighing, "Sigh... The Fallen God Guild is such a huge problem right in front of us, but we can only watch and prepare for some kind of trial..."

Zixuan sat at the table, carefully wiping her staff, and said softly, "There's nothing I can do. It's the Holy Venerable's order. To obtain the certificate, one must pass the trial, and the trial gates will open in two days..."

Zhao Heng leaned against the wall and said in a deep voice, "But we can't completely ignore it. So we don't know what they are planning, but if they succeed, the entire glacier will be in crisis, and our trial will probably not be able to proceed smoothly."

"What's there to be afraid of? Aren't those two guys there? They have their own plans. Even if those guys have some kind of conspiracy, they won't necessarily succeed easily. Wasn't that the most typical example back in Linghuang?" Karin turned over, lay face down on the bed, and rested her chin on her hand.

Yes, back in Linghuang, the Fallen God Guild nearly stole Li Xueyan's Guardian Certificate using the Thunder Bird. If Rednos and Rekoos hadn't appeared at the crucial moment, they probably would have succeeded long ago.

Even so, it still makes people a little worried. After all, Itt wouldn't fight a battle unprepared. He dared to appear on the glacier, so he must have made preparations.

Mo Yan sat by the window, gazing at the frozen scenery outside, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the window frame.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Oh? You guys don't trust me and that guy that much?"

Mo Yan and the others were startled and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw that Rednos had been leaning against the door frame at some point, with that usual, unpredictable smile on his lips, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

Karin jumped out of bed: "Wow! When did you come in? There wasn't a sound!"

Rednos chuckled lightly. "This is one of my 'little' hobbies. I'm so sorry to have disturbed your gloomy moment." He apologized verbally, but his face showed no remorse.

Mo Yan looked at him and did not deny it: "We have fought against the Fallen Gods Brigade more than once, and we know their madness and cunning well. Dr. It is especially good at using the environment and unexpected factors. This device is probably not that simple."

“You’re right.” Rednos nodded, unusually abandoning his usual cynicism. “That guy is definitely a problem. That’s why we need to be more thorough in our preparations.”

His gaze swept over the four people.

"What you're worried about is nothing more than the fear that we're not well-prepared, or that the Fallen Gods' Guild has some hidden tricks up its sleeve, such as... a feint attack."

Zhao Heng's eyes narrowed: "You think so too?"

“It’s not that I think so, it’s just that I want to have a few more plans. That guy Itt loves playing these kinds of tricks. The obvious setup might be bait, or it might be a decoy, and his real intentions are likely much deeper and more far-reaching,” he said, arms crossed.

"So you know his purpose?" Mo Yan asked.

“I don’t know,” Rednos said, spreading his hands.

"Then what are you spouting nonsense about here!" Karin slammed her hands together and roared.

Upon hearing this, Rednos sneered a few times: "Don't be in such a hurry. In my opinion, what you're worried about is simply not being able to help Glacier during the trial. But in my view, it's never a bad thing to have more plans and precautions."

He straightened up and tapped lightly on the door frame with his fingers.

"The trial realm, though an independent space, is nothing more than a special domain formed by elemental power, which is no different from the 'Laws in the Shadows'."

"You're talking so much, as if you have a way to make sure neither of us is in trouble," Karen said coldly, hands on her hips.

Rednos chuckled lightly: "Of course, since you are so worried about the glacier and want to help, how could I let you down?"

"Since you are all so concerned about the Trial and the Fallen God Guild, let's put it another way and just stagger the two, or... I should say, postponing the Trial is a more reliable statement."

"The trial has been postponed?" everyone asked in surprise.

"Is this even possible?" Karin asked.

"Of course, don't underestimate my abilities. But as for how I'll do it, please allow me to leave you in suspense for a moment. Stay tuned!"

After speaking, Rednos's figure faded away as if into the shadows, leaving behind only a meaningful sentence that lingered in everyone's ears.

"Please remain calm and focus on your preparations until the final moment arrives. After all, both the trials and the impending disaster require ample energy to handle."

The voice faded completely, and the room returned to silence.

"What...what does he mean?" Karin scratched her head. "What do you mean by postponing the trial? Can he really do that?"

Zi Xuan pondered, "Shadow Guardian... controls shadows and some spatial laws. If the Trial Realm is essentially a special spatial domain constructed from elemental power, perhaps he really does have a way to interfere with or delay it?"

Zhao Heng said in a deep voice, "But will Rek'os allow it? The trial is an order from the Holy Venerable, and the Ice Emperor seems to value it highly."

Mo Yan stared in the direction he had disappeared, his brows furrowing slightly. "He doesn't seem to be joking. But he clearly doesn't intend to tell us exactly what he's going to do."
