The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 310 Challenger

Ye Lan glanced around, trying to figure out where and how to break out, while quickly thinking about which force was in the dense forest. In order to deal with them, they had made such a big move, and the cave might have been tightly surrounded.

Is it the Winter Faints or the Sumeru Thirty?

There are not many forces capable of doing this in Xumi, so it is easy to rule them out... These people appeared silently, and from just now until now, the frequency of the breathing sounds she tried her best to hear in the dense forest was surprisingly consistent. Ordinary training courses cannot achieve this effect...

Ye Lan lowered her eyelids slightly, already realizing who had set up a trap for her and the others. She took a step forward, quietly made a gesture behind her back, and looked towards the dense forest: "You have prepared such a grand welcome ceremony, but you are not going to show up? The second executive officer of the Winter Fatui, [Doctor] Dotore?"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Applause sounded, and a man dressed as a mercenary walked out of the dense forest. He smiled and stopped a few steps away from Ye Lan and the others. He exclaimed: "You are worthy of being the Dark Night Queen of Liyue. I can't hide my little tricks from you.

It was indeed him... Ye Lan became more and more alert in her heart, but she did not show any sign on her face. She still looked fearless and calm: "I am very curious, how did you know our whereabouts and how did you set the trap."

"It's very simple. Xumi is at a critical moment right now. And for some reason, I was very concerned about the foreigners who came to Xumi during this period. That's how I luckily discovered the traces of your existence. As for how I knew your whereabouts... that's even more of a coincidence."

Dotore explained, without even a hint of hostility: "The loss of [God's Canned Knowledge] is the biggest disturbance at present. Although the Church of Gods has tried its best to cover it up, this behavior has exposed their folly in taking this matter seriously. I think that since you have come to Xumi, you will naturally find out the secret that the Church of Gods is trying so hard to cover up."

"You already knew where the [God's Canned Knowledge] is?"

Ye Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, and at the same time she was a little confused about Dotole's attitude. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Dotole was too respectful to them, or to her - as if she had a trump card in her hand that could kill him at any time.

So what will it be?
Ye Lan's eyes flickered as she thought in her heart.

"Yes, not only that, I also know what caused [God's Canned Knowledge] to become like this, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you for the time being."

Dotole nodded and looked at Ye Lan. A lot of information about the Queen of Dark Night flashed through his mind. The most important one was: her position in Chen Tianfeng's heart was very likely equal to that of the blond traveler.

After the incident in Liyue, he realized that the biggest mistake he had made was to create a puppet that was extremely similar to Chen Tianfeng's friend and tried to use this puppet to lure him into a trap.

——This was undoubtedly a blasphemy and provocation, and was also the root cause of his subsequent experiences.

Therefore, no matter what, he must not let the past happen again, otherwise what would be delivered to Zhidong and delivered to him would no longer be just a "small lesson" like a disposable bomb.

"The Order of the Lord has been tracking down the location of the [Divine Canned Knowledge]. Under my guidance, these 'ambushers' arrived here three days ago. All that is left is to wait."

"I don't think my men would be so careless as to ignore the signs of an ambush while searching the surroundings, especially since they have been lying in wait for three days."

"Because before you arrived, the 'ambush' was in a dormant state, almost the same as stone. It is normal that no one noticed it."

"Hibernation..."

Ye Lan repeated in a low voice, carefully looked at the mercenary standing a dozen steps away, and suddenly said: "Isn't this your real body?"

It’s not even a slice... But does this executive who “cut” himself into more than a dozen pieces really have a distinction between “main body” and “slices”?

"Miss Ye Lan has a keen eye." Dotole nodded without arguing or denying.

At this moment, Qian San, who had just left quietly after seeing Ye Lan's gesture, returned and shook his head at Ye Lan. He looked a little confused, but more relaxed.

The situation was quite different from what they had expected. Apart from the mercenaries who were weakened by three days of "hibernation" in the dense forest, there were no ambushes in other places. In other words, they were the ones who wanted to leave or stay, and they were the ones who had the initiative.

Ye Lan raised her eyebrows and turned her gaze back to Dotore: "Tell me your purpose, Dotore."

The second executive officer has put so much thought into this, it is impossible that his purpose is just to meet with them. I just don't know what his purpose is and how big his appetite is.

"I would like to ask Miss Ye Lan for a favor. It is not difficult and it does not go against one's conscience. For Miss Ye Lan, it is an easy task to accomplish. As for the reward..."

Dotore thought for a moment and said, "Miss Yelan, just speak up. I will never shirk my responsibility as long as I can do it."

"Oh? You will never shirk your responsibilities?" Ye Lan seemed to smile, and said casually: "Then if I want all the assets of the Northern Bank in Liyue, or the list of all the spies that Zhidong has planted in Liyue, that is also OK?"

Dotole hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Ye Lan was stunned when he heard this, and Qian San and others behind him widened their eyes with an expression as if to say "Is this guy crazy?"

"you sure?"

"I swear to Her Majesty the Queen and the Rock King."

"..."

Ye Lan became even more alert. To be able to easily agree to such a huge reward, Dotore's plan must be even more shocking. It is definitely not as easy as he said: "What do you want to do?"

"Just to make up for a stupid thing I did."

Dotole sighed, took out the envelope from his bosom, and with a flick of his finger, sent it to a position two steps away from Ye Lan, saying, "In a short while, maybe two or three days, Mr. Chen Tianfeng will arrive in Xumi, and what I want is for Miss Ye Lan to help me pass this letter to him."

Before confirming Chen Tianfeng's movements, he was thinking about how to invite this adult to move to Xumi. When he finally confirmed the adult's whereabouts, he found that he had come too early - the gift he prepared was not yet ready, which really caught him off guard.

Is he doing this for Tian Feng? Is he afraid of Tian Feng?
So, his respectful attitude is because he is worried that I will complain to Tianfeng?

Ye Lan understood but was also a little confused. Tian Feng... is he so scary?
There may be some trick involved. Dotole might have behaved this way in order to use her to do something detrimental to Tianfeng.

"I will mobilize all the people I can. When Mr. Chen Tianfeng arrives in Xumi, I will convey the news to you as soon as possible." Dotore controlled the mercenary man's body to salute, "Miss Ye Lan, do you have any questions?"

"Of course." Ye Lan pointed at the envelope two steps away, narrowed her eyes, and tried to find something unusual on Dotore's face: "Can I read this letter?"

Dotore's expression did not change at all: "Given the relationship between Miss Ye Lan and Mr. Chen, she can naturally watch it at will."

"How did you find out about Tian Feng's movements?"

"The recent sudden outbreak of the Xumi Demon Scale Disease indicates that a certain existence may have already stopped caring about the Demon Scale Disease in order to cope with the upcoming challenges."

Dotole sighed and said, "And Master Chen Tianfeng is a challenge that even gods must deal with with all their strength."
