The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 123 The Power of Faith
"Brother Chen, aren't you curious about what kind of agreement Wendy and I have reached?"

"Your Highness, please play chess seriously."

"...Brother Chen, don't you want to know our plan?"

"No, I just want to finish this game of chess now."

"...Brother Chen, business is more important."

"Your Highness, you may not know that there is a rule in my hometown that once you start playing chess, you cannot stop."

"You didn't tell me there was such a rule before we started."

Kong held the black and purple chess piece in his hand, looking at the clear situation on the chessboard, and was reluctant to put down the chess piece.

"Oh, that's what I forgot to say. I'm adding it now." Chen Tianfeng said lightly.

"..."

The corner of Sora's eye twitched, and he put the chess piece back into the box and sighed, "I lost."

"Concession."

Chen Tianfeng cupped his hands and smiled politely: "Your Highness, now it's time to get down to business."

It's okay that he's not very good, but he's also so confident. At first, Chen Tianfeng really thought that this traveler who traveled through the starry sea knew everything and was proficient in everything.

The result is just average, and at most can bully novices who have just started playing Go for one or two years.

Chen Tianfeng smiled and removed the force that maintained the shape of the chess pieces, and the chess pieces on the chess box and chessboard shattered silently, turning into grayish-white, dull fine gravel.

"Just call me Sora. You are not a member of the cult, nor a citizen of Kanreya, so you don't need to call me [Prince]."

Kong glanced at the gray gravel, then turned to Chen Tianfeng: "You should have noticed the deal between Wendy and me."

"I only guessed part of it." Chen Tianfeng did not deny it.

"Which part?"

"The Abyss Cult has abandoned its plan to capture and transform Tevarin."

"...You really do know a lot."

Kong looked at Chen Tianfeng deeply. Apart from the members of the Abyss Cult, only Wendy had noticed that the Abyss Cult was planning to attack Tevarin.

If this was not told to Chen Tianfeng by Wendy, then it means that Chen Tianfeng had some channel to know that the Abyss Cult had this plan that had not yet been implemented, otherwise he would not have guessed that the cult had abandoned the plan.

So what is Chen Tianfeng's channel, and what does he know... Kong lowered his eyes and quickly understood.

It is part of a future that is no longer absolutely real.

In other words, part of the future of Teyvat would be without the arrival of Chen Tianfeng.

It seems that neither the God of Wind nor the God of Rock asked Chen Tianfeng about the "future". It is indeed precious, but it is just precious, not something that must be known.

Both gods rejected this "future" that could be used as a reference... Sora thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​asking.

"It's not just Tevarin." Kong collected his thoughts and looked at Chen Tianfeng with a solemn expression: "The cult gave up all plans that would have a negative impact on Mond in exchange for the promise of the God of Wind."

"What promise?"

Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. In order to make the Abyss Cult make such a concession, Wendy must have paid some unimaginable price!

"you."

"...?"

"Don't be surprised. This promise is indeed about you."

Kong suddenly smiled and said cheerfully, "To put it simply, Wendy sold you for a good price."

Chen Tianfeng: “…”

"Sold it for... a good price?"

Chen Tianfeng looked stunned. It was ridiculous, but he also felt that this was something Wendy could do. The corners of his mouth twitched: "Can you tell me the details?"

"of course."

Kong nodded, waved his hand, and the chessboard and chess box on the table disappeared at the same time, leaving only a large number of small gray-white gravel. Kong was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Tianfeng with a complicated look, and waved his hand again, summoning a gust of wind, blowing the small gravel off the table and piling it at the foot of the oak tree.

Kong glanced at the oak tree and confirmed that it was not contaminated by the gray gravel before retracting his gaze and turning to Chen Tianfeng: "How much do you know about your situation?" "My situation?" Chen Tianfeng frowned slightly: "Is it related to the transaction?"

"It is related to, or rather, it is your uniqueness that makes this deal possible." Kong said.

"I didn't expect that I would be so important." Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "My situation... To be honest, I don't know what's special about me."

Sora stared at him. After a few seconds of silence, he nodded and said, "I understand. Then I will tell you about the special things I know about the transaction."

"Brother Chen, you are very hungry, right?"

"..."

Chen Tianfeng tapped the arm armor with his right fingers rhythmically and suddenly asked, "Why?"

"Brother Chen, are you asking me why I know this?"

Kong looked him in the eyes and gave the answer: "Because Brother Chen is very special, a specialness that can be concealed without any need to be concealed. As long as you reach a certain level, you can see how special Brother Chen is."

"How special is it?" Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can it pollute an entire country?"

"Yes."

"..."

Chen Tianfeng's face twitched immediately, and then he was full of doubts: "But how come I don't know? In my imagination, I can only pollute a few lakes at most, and at most two rivers...To pollute an entire country, is such a thing really possible?"

The countries in Teyvat in reality are not as small as those in the game. Even those dead demons cannot pollute the entire country.

Also, he is so powerful, how come he doesn’t know anything about it?
"real."

Sora nodded and said, "It is precisely because you can do this that I agreed to Wendy's deal."

"...Please tell me the details of the transaction. It would be better if I could be more detailed."

"You will become Ying's companion."

"……Gone?"

"Gone."

"But, why?" Chen Tianfeng couldn't understand: "If I was really that dangerous, wouldn't you be pushing Ying into the fire pit?"

"Because you can destroy an entire country." Kong automatically omitted the word "now" and said, "As long as you and Ying are together, any existence that wants to plot against Ying must consider whether their plan will irritate you."

Chen Tianfeng: “…”

Very good, this is using it as a highly polluting nuclear bomb.

"This is Wendy's suggestion, and I think it makes sense."

Sora said, "For this reason, in addition to abandoning our operations in Mondstadt, the Order will also ensure that we create opportunities to prepare a feast for you."

"Feast?" Chen Tianfeng thought about it and then realized: "Magic Dragon Durin?"

"It is the transformed dragon's heart that carries a large amount of abyssal energy."

Kong stretched out his hand, and a scarlet heart about the size of a fist, still beating, appeared in his hand.

Chen Tianfeng took the dragon's heart, and the moment his fingers touched the scarlet color, his instinct became agitated, and he almost madly shouted out his hunger!

"It's pure energy now. You should be able to [eat] it directly."

Kong paused, motioned Chen Tianfeng to look at the lush, towering oak tree beside him, and said softly: "And this, you should be familiar with it - this is the power of the Wind God's people's faith in the Wind God."

"Incredible, right?"

Sora turned to look at him. "Wendy told me that he wanted to give you everything he had. I asked him why. Do you know what he answered?"

“…How did you answer?”

Chen Tianfeng looked a little dazed. Although he had already guessed that the strange energy he had been consuming was Wendy's power of faith, he was still confused until this moment.

Why? Why would Wendy do this?
"Because you want to know the truth, but for some reason, he can't tell you the truth directly, so he can only choose to let you eat and figure it out on your own."

Kong sighed softly and said, "He said that you are his friend, so there is no need for a reason."
