Chapter 1359 Ineff's Intelligence (Part 2)
After hearing this information, Shao Yun thought to himself that there was already a way to deal with the Wild Hunt. The Lamplighters had unique methods, and the Frostmoon Children's land could suppress the Wild Hunt because of the Moon's torque. This clearly showed that there was a mature system of countermeasures.
So, Falgar wrote to them, hoping to make his family the suckers? Luckily, I'm one step ahead; don't even think about it!
After silently cursing Falga's "cunning scheme" a few times in his mind, Shao Yun suppressed his emotions and turned to ask the core question that he truly cared about.
After all, the key to this trip is to help Ying obtain the last elemental power.
In his mind, since Nordkale belonged to the Winter Solstice, there must be a statue of the Ice God.
“Then let me ask you another question,” Shao Yun organized his thoughts and asked, “Is the statue in the Nordkale region a statue of the Ice God?”
He had expected a positive answer to this question, since it was the territory of the Winter Solstice, and it was reasonable to worship the Ice God.
However, reality exceeded his expectations; Ineff gave a negative answer without hesitation.
“No. According to the historical records of the Frostmoon Children and the data from on-site surveys, the statues in the Nordkale region are all statues of the moon goddess 'Kutar'; not statues of the second-generation ice goddess 'Anastasia Feodorovna Schneitsnaya'.”
When Shao Yun heard Inef say that there was no statue of the Ice God in Nordkare, his eyes widened instantly.
"Isn't Nordkale an autonomous region under Winter Solstice? How come there's no statue of the Ice God?"
In his understanding, even if the regions under the rule of the seven kingdoms were just autonomous regions, they should still have statues of the corresponding gods. This was a basic common sense.
Just like the Coral Palace area of Inazuma, even though they are the people of Orobas, the statues are still Balzebub!
Faced with Shao Yun's surprise, Ineff's tone carried a mechanical bewilderment.
"I cannot understand the core of your question. According to all the data related to Nordcale stored in the database, there is indeed no statue of the Ice God in that region."
She paused for a moment, then offered alternative information and directions.
"Excuse me, are you looking for information about the statue of the moon goddess Kutar? I can provide you with searchable data such as the statue's location and historical origins."
Shao Yun frowned, quickly calculating in his mind.
Since there is no statue of the Ice God in Nordkare, the only way to help Luminous obtain ice elemental power is to give up looking for opportunities in Nordkare and go directly to the homeland of Winter.
This unexpected turn of events disrupted the original plan, but it also made the goal clearer.
Thinking of this, Shao Yun shook his head, directly rejecting the idea of learning about the Moon Goddess statue, and instead asked for key information.
"No, I don't care about the Moon Goddess statue. Then let me ask you, do you have any information about the Winter Solstice Kingdom itself?"
Ineff nodded slowly, her mechanical head lowering slightly, clearly beginning to operate the processor at full capacity to retrieve information.
"Query command received. Detecting information related to the Winter Kingdom... Searching..."
A moment later, she looked up and began her broadcast.
"Winter Kingdom, one of the seven kingdoms of the Teyvat continent, is located in the northernmost part of the Teyvat continent."
"Climate data: The average annual temperature in the country's rural areas is 0°C, and winter temperatures are generally below -30°C, and in extreme cases, they can drop as low as -70°C."
"Frequent and prolonged blizzards in some areas during winter pose a continuous threat to the survival of non-native residents due to extreme snow and ice conditions."
"The area also features unique landforms such as ice lakes, ice fields, and glacial canyons."
"Major cities: Fort Winterfell, Newgagetown, Seashade Town..."
At this point, Ineff's voice suddenly faltered, and the light in her eyes began to waver. "Follow-up information is missing... Port Bellovod... Data retrieval failed..."
Before she could finish speaking, a piercing crackling sound of electricity suddenly emanated from Ineff's body, and the hum of the processor became unusually intense.
She suddenly raised her hands to cover her head, her mechanical body trembling slightly, the light in her electronic eyes flickering.
"Warning! Processor overload! Forced cooling program initiated! Information broadcast paused!"
As the forced cooling procedure was initiated, Ineff stood frozen in place, temporarily unable to respond to any questions.
……
When Ineff announced the name of the winter city, Shao Yun immediately perked up his ears.
The name of the city where winter arrives! This is a crucial clue to help Ying find the power of ice element, far more important than those irrelevant local customs and traditions.
"Wait a minute! Could you elaborate on those winter-endowed cities you mentioned earlier, like New Gijer and Port Belovodi?"
Ineff did not answer, but simply waited for the CPU forced cooling process to complete.
Then, she mechanically nodded in response: "The cooling process is over, and the information retrieval function has been restored."
New Kijie City, geographically located on the northern border of Nordkale, bordering the southern coastal region of the Winter Kingdom, is an important coastal city connecting the Winter Kingdom and Nordkale…
“Nordkare to the north, Winter to the south,” Shao Yun quickly calculated in his mind. This location was right in between the two, and starting from Nata, it was undoubtedly the closest Winter city.
He immediately seized on the key point and pressed for an answer, his tone filled with anticipation: "Is there a statue of the Ice God there?"
Shao Yun's question jumped too abruptly, and Ineff's processor couldn't keep up with the logic for a moment. Her eyes flickered twice, and she mechanically asked a confused question.
"I cannot understand the core of your question. Please ask again."
Seeing this, Shao Yun quickly adjusted his wording and added explanations to make the issue clearer:
"Okay, I asked too hastily. Let me rephrase. Where is the nearest statue of the Ice God to Nata?"
He paused, then directly pointed out two candidate locations, further narrowing down the options: "Is it the New Gijer City you just mentioned, or that Port Belovodi? Which of these two places has the statue of the Ice God?"
"Correction command received. Retrieving tourism information related to 'distribution of ice god statues in the Nata area during winter'..."
Ineff's CPU started working at high speed again.
A moment later, the search results came out, and she announced them smoothly.
"New Jijie City is a key coastal city in the southern part of Zhidong Kingdom. The average annual temperature is around 1 to 7 degrees Celsius, and the climate is relatively mild. There are brewing workshops and mining facilities in the city, making it an important distribution center for goods in southern Zhidong."
"Bellovodi Port, the busiest port in Winter Country in terms of throughput, handles a significant portion of Winter Country's overseas trade and occupies a key position in Winter Country's economic system..."
She paused at this point in the broadcast before responding to the core issue: "Detailed information about Port Belovodi is missing... It is speculated that this may be due to missing data."
After a brief processing, Ineff's processor filtered out the messy and redundant data, and gave Shao Yun a confident and concise answer:
"However, based on the available and valid information, you can find the local statue of the Ice God in New Kycielda."
As Shao Yun sorted through the fragmented and incomplete information Ineff had gathered, he was still somewhat uneasy and pressed for further details.
"You mean, this place called 'New Gijj City' does indeed have a statue of the Ice God? But if we want to go to Winter, don't we have to enter from Port Belovodi first? Is that the logic?"
Faced with this question containing two related issues, Ineff neither nodded nor shook her head. The light in her electronic eyes dimmed again, and her tone carried a clear sense of data disorder.
"Data conflicts...information database chaos...unable to provide more accurate intelligence."
Her fuselage swayed slightly, as if there were signs of overload again.
Shao Yun could tell at a glance that Ineff's condition was not right, and she looked like she might explode at any moment due to overload. He didn't want to force her anymore, so he could only temporarily stop asking questions and instead focus on confirming the most important question.
"Okay, okay, let's not ask any more questions. Anyway, one thing is certain, right? It's that if you go north from Nordkale to the place with the statue of the Ice God in Winter's End, it's this place called 'New Kjell'?"
The core information of this problem is clear, and there is no complex logical connection. Ineff's processor can barely handle it.
She nodded slowly, giving a clear and affirmative response.
"That's right. This information can be cross-validated with existing data to confirm its accuracy."
Having obtained this crucial core intelligence, Shao Yun knew that asking any further questions would not yield any more useful information and might even cause Ineff to completely overload and break down.
That would be troublesome...
He nodded to Ineff and sincerely thanked her, saying, "Okay, thank you very much for the information, it helped me a lot."
Before leaving, Shao Yun remembered something and asked another question.
"By the way, do you remember? Besides delivering Falga's letter to us, did you have any other mission when you came to Nata?"
Although Falga's letter activated a lot of information about Nordkare, Ineff's memory of the additional mission to Nata remained blank.
She paused for a moment, then replied curtly, "Memory... missing. No relevant mission records."
