Chapter 2
The story is about the author's life.
(The protagonist is based on the author himself. The more tactful the protagonist is, the more tactful the author is)
No one talked along the way, and soon they arrived at the Winter Palace.
As soon as he entered the Winter City, Jingliu was taken to the door of the Winter Palace by Barnabas before he had time to appreciate the architecture of the Winter Palace.
In front of the Winter Palace, stood a black-haired girl with dark ginger highlights, a mesh veil on her face, and a six-winged headdress on the back of her head.
"Then let Columbia be your guide next. If you have anything, you can come to the Winter Palace to find me. Remember what I said before." After Barnabas finished speaking, he walked towards the depths of the Winter Palace.
"Hello, I am the third seat of the Eleventh Executive Officer of the Fatui, "Girl" Columbia, just call me Columbia." Columbia smiled and stretched out her hand to Jingliu and said.
Columbia was full of curiosity about this girl brought by the Queen herself.
Jingliu looked at the delicate jade hand in front of him, suppressed the urge to lick it, and quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Columbia, hello, hello, my name is Jingliu"
Columbia's little hand was icy and cold, as if touching a piece of fine jade. Feeling the touch in his hand, Jingliu couldn't help but giggled (¯﹃¯).
"Jingliu?" Columbia looked at the giggling girl in front of him and was a little confused. Did the Queen bring back a fool?
However, Columbia had to admit that with Jingliu's appearance, even if he broke into a perverted smile (¯﹃¯), he was still very beautiful.
"Ah, oh, sorry. What are we going to do now?" Jingliu heard what Columbia said, and quickly wiped the saliva from his mouth and asked Columbia.
"Hmm~" Columbia thought for a while, and then said: "The Queen did not explain where to go next, so let me, the guide, take you to visit the Winter City."
"Hmm, where do we start?"
"It's far away in the sky, but it's right in front of us. The Winter Palace is the most iconic building in Winter City and even the whole Winter. It represents the consciousness of the Queen of the High and Pure Ice."
"Only three types of people can enter and exit the Winter Palace freely. One is the Queen of Ice, the second is the eleven executive officers of the Fatui, and the last is those who have made great contributions to the Winter Kingdom. It can be said that the Winter Palace is the "holy land" that all the people of Winter yearn for."
"Hey, then I don't belong to these three types of people, why did Barnabas agree to let me enter the Winter Palace to find her at will? "Jingliu asked in confusion.
"I don't know. The Queen has her own considerations. I dare not guess the Queen's mind at will. Maybe you are special to the Queen." Columbia explained patiently.
"Well, maybe." Jingliu didn't know what Barnabas was thinking.
"Okay, let's go to the next stop." Columbia took Jingliu's hand and led Jingliu out.
...
"This is the largest church in Zhidong, "St. Mary's Cathedral". Every day, there are endless people from Zhidong coming and going. It can be said that "St. Mary's Cathedral" is the second spiritual pillar of the people of Zhidong." Columbia introduced to Jingliu seriously.
Moreover, Columbia paused, and then said with a slight smile: "St. Mary's Cathedral was founded by me (^_^)"
"Hey, people like Columbia also believe in these things?" Jingliu asked in confusion.
"Believe? Maybe? This is just my duty, just what I should do."
Jingliu could see that Columbia didn't want to say more, so he didn't continue to ask.
"Well~ where are we going next?" Columbia fell into thought again.
"By the way, Jingliu, you are new to Winter Solstice, right? The Queen shouldn't have taken you to the city government to register your identity, right?" Columbia looked up and asked.
"No, I came to Winter Solstice with Barnabas, and then went directly to Winter Solstice Palace."
"Well, let's go to the city government to register next. Also, in Winter Solstice, it's better not to call the Ice Queen's demon name directly. If some fanatical fans hear it, they will inevitably be disgusted. If it is spread out, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in Winter Solstice," Columbia reminded.
"Ah? So serious?" Jingliu was scared for a while. Although he didn't care about other people's opinions, if he was hated wherever he went, it would have a great impact on his life.
"Okay, it's okay. If that time comes, I will stand up and speak for you.
"Columbia said with a smile.
"Hey, Columbia, you are the best~"
...
"Hey, Jingliu, can't you write?" Columbia asked Jingliu who was slow to write.
Hearing this, Jingliu couldn't help blushing, and then said "um" awkwardly.
"Then you say, I'll help you write"
"Okay"
"Uh" Columbia looked at the application form in front of her, which was almost blank except for her name.
"This application won't pass, what should I do?"
Just when Columbia was thinking, a voice suddenly came out.
"A distinguished guest is coming, why don't you come to inform me, an old guy?"
Jingliu heard the voice and looked in front of him. It was a... little old man? Wearing glasses and a top hat, holding a cane.
"Hehe, this distinguished guest seems to be thinking about something rude. Let me introduce myself, I am the fifth seat of the Eleventh Executive Officer of the Fatui "Rooster" Pucciniella. At the same time, he is also the mayor of Zhidong City," Pucciniella said, pushing his glasses.
"This is Jingliu, the person brought back by the Queen from outside."
"Jingliu, the person brought back by the Queen from "outside"." Pucciniella lowered his head and could not see his expression clearly.
"I wonder if you have encountered any problems? Can you tell me about it?"
"It's like this," Jingliu explained hurriedly
...
"I see, these are not a big deal, I just say hello to them," Pucciniella said with a smile after listening.
"Will this be a bit bad?"
"How could it be? The people brought by the Queen must be treated at the highest level. Just treat it as making friends," Pucciniella said with a smile.
"Well, thank you "Rooster", Jingliu, it's getting late, let's go first." After submitting the application form, Columbia took Jingliu away.
"Haha, Jingliu, the people brought by the Queen," Pucciniella watched the backs of the two people leaving.
It feels like something big will happen in a few days.
