Further down in Wyrmrest Valley, a river flows that never freezes. This unassuming river has nothing special about it, nor has anyone ever given it a name.
Dragonspine is already a place rarely visited by people, and even fewer would pay attention to a very ordinary glacier.
However, perhaps even Albedo, who frequently visits Dragonspine, doesn't know that this inconspicuous river is often favored by a certain female Knight.
Eula, the Spindrift Knight, Captain of the Knights of Favonius' Reconnaissance Company, and the eldest daughter of Mondstadt's Lawrence Family. As an Electro element Vision holder, Dragonspine is an excellent training ground for her.
The abundant Electro element energy, combined with the undisturbed environment, allows her to practice Favonius Bladework without reservation.
After her Favonius Bladework practice, Eula habitually takes an ice-cold bath to wash away the sweat and fatigue from her body.
Today, Eula, as usual, after two hours of practicing Favonius Bladework on Dragonspine, arrived at her secret ice lake. In the severe cold environment, she skillfully removed her clothes and plunged into the ice lake.
As an Electro element Vision holder, such things are normal for Eula; she doesn't have to worry about problems like frostbite or catching a cold.
If it were just the sight of Eula taking an ice-cold bath, it wouldn't have been enough to shock Yuto, who was nearby.
I'm a person who has seen the world; what's there to be surprised about?
However, the next moment, Yuto saw a scene that he would never forget.
After enjoying her ice bath, Eula, for some unknown reason, suddenly felt inspired. Instead of putting on her clothes immediately after climbing out of the ice lake, she simply glanced around and then, in a state of 'unity with nature,' began to dance right by the ice lake.
Yuto, who had watched Eula's character demo PV countless times, immediately recognized that Eula was performing the Dance of Sacrifice, Act III: Flickering Candlelight!
Holy cow!!!
The version with clothes on was already incredibly alluring, let alone the version Yuto was watching now, which was naked!
That graceful dance, a figure no less explosive than Shenhe's, an exquisite face, and captivating… slurp!
How… how could anyone resist this?!
Yuto, watching from a distance, was like a victim of petrification, frozen in place. However, the tomoe in his Sharingan spun, enlarged, and shrank continuously, as if focusing or recording something.
Eula's dance only lasted a few minutes; she didn't complete the entire Dance of Sacrifice. Perhaps Eula was just suddenly inspired, but dancing naked was indeed still a challenge for her.
Although the Dance of Sacrifice is intricate, it is one of Eula's rare ways to relax and enjoy herself.
After the cleansing of the ice bath and the Dance of Sacrifice, Eula finally remembered that she was still naked. She calmly picked up her Knights of Favonius uniform nearby.
And as she dressed, as the Captain of the Knights of Favonius' Reconnaissance Company, she did not forget to look around to check her surroundings.
When she glanced at Wyrmrest Valley in the distance, Eula noticed something was amiss.
Strange? Wyrmrest Valley today feels different from what I've seen before. What's changed?
Huh?! No, wait, it seems one of the dragon's ribs is missing! Who did it?!
After getting dressed, Eula hurried to investigate. Someone stealing dragon bones from Dragonspine? This matter isn't really big or small. After all, this thing has been here for hundreds of years, and no one from Mondstadt has claimed ownership or sent Knights or archaeologists for protection.
Moreover, the hardness of these giant dragon ribs is extraordinary compared to ordinary materials. Eula had even tried with her exclusive weapon, Song of Broken Pines, but with minimal effect, and it wasn't necessary.
Now, seeing one of the dragon bones missing from Wyrmrest Valley, she was merely curious and went to observe.
At this moment, Yuto saw Eula approaching him with her greatsword and thought he had been discovered. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings when they met, Yuto quickly fled the scene.
But it was Yuto's action of turning and fleeing that allowed the sharp-eyed Eula to finally discover his presence.
A blush immediately appeared on Eula's face, whether from shyness or anger, her heart was already in turmoil.
Someone was hiding there just now! Could it be a pervert specifically peeking at me bathing?! Oh no! I was just dancing naked; doesn't that mean he saw everything? My innocence! My reputation!
No! To protect my innocence and reputation, I must bring that person to justice.
Eula instantly sprinted with her greatsword, and with agile movements, she arrived at the spot Yuto had just left.
Indeed! She found Yuto's footprints there. Eula stood where Yuto had been and looked back. She could indeed see the place where she had just bathed, but at that distance, it should be impossible to discern specific body details with the naked eye.
Could it be… that pervert brought binoculars or a Kamera specifically to spy on me?
At this thought, Eula was furious. She quickly chased in the direction the person had left, but after only a few steps, she was surprised to find that the traces on the ground had vanished into thin air.
But this is neither a cliff where one could glide down with a Wind Glider nor a mountain where one could climb up. How did this person disappear?
Losing the trail, Eula had no choice but to return to the original spot to gather clues. Through elemental sensing, she quickly discovered that there was Electro element residue here. Could it be an Electro element Vision holder?
The Electro element Vision holders in Mondstadt seem to only be Lisa, Fischl, and Razor. The first two are also females and don't seem like people who would do such sordid things.
As for Razor, although he is male, he also doesn't seem like the type to do such a thing.
Could it be a Fatui Electro Cicin Mage? They certainly have that possibility and a motive for doing so. Are they trying to blackmail me with this leverage?
Or is it an Electro element Vision holder from another country? That would be troublesome.
Following this, Eula was surprised to notice the mysteriously missing giant dragon rib. The cross-section was clean as new. This… what kind of divine weapon could achieve such a feat? And how much power would it take to cleave such a massive dragon rib in one blow?
Eula pondered for a moment, then looked at another giant dragon rib nearby. She picked up the Song of Broken Pines in her hand and took a deep breath.
"Glacial! Avenging Eula!"
Eula fiercely swung the greatsword in her hand, striking hard at the giant dragon rib. With a clang, Eula felt a huge recoil force, making her hands and the web of her thumbs ache. Her greatsword had only cut about two-thirds of the way into the rib, and even where it did cut, the cross-section was very rough.
Seeing this, Eula decided to first go find Albedo, who was also on Dragonspine, and ask him if he had seen any suspicious individuals recently. Then, she would also need to investigate foreigners who had recently arrived in Mondstadt, especially those with an Electro element Vision.
Hmph! I've marked this grudge down!
