The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 364 High Imitation
"Let's go, Fukaros should have discussed it with Navilette."

Chen Tianfeng stood up, extended his hand to Funina, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Quickly end this battle, and the sooner it ends, the sooner you can enjoy the life that truly belongs to you."

Fu Nina stared at him blankly, then suddenly smiled. She grabbed Chen Tianfeng's hand, used the force to stand up, and nodded heavily: "I understand, thank you Mr. Monster."

"You don't have to call me Mr. Monster... Never mind, as long as you like."

Chen Tianfeng shook his head and did not insist on asking Funina to change her address. Although when he was fully resurrected, he said that he would no longer allow anyone to offend him by calling him a "monster" to his face, but Funina at least added a "sir", right?
It’s better not to bother with this little girl.

Finina lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at the hands they were holding, and reluctantly let go of them.

"what?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Monster?"

"I saw two acquaintances, well, I should say one."

Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the sea. There was a fleet there. On the deck of the leading ship stood two executive officers of the Winter Faints.

"acquaintance?"

Furninna stood on tiptoe, put her right hand on her eyes, and tried to look in the direction of Chen Tianfeng's sight, but she only saw some blurry silhouettes of ships: "Hmm, is it Mr. Monster's friend?"

"Barely."

Chen Tianfeng gave an ambiguous answer, thought for a moment, and said, "They should also be going to Fontaine. It's a good opportunity to take a boat. How about that?"

"Well, listen to Mr. Monster."

……

Alechino looked towards the direction of Fontaine Port with a serious expression, as if the closer she got to her destination, the more nervous she became.

"I say, why are you so sad all the time?"

Tartaglia folded her arms and glanced at Arlecino: "Didn't Her Majesty tell you the key to solving the prophecy?"

“That’s the crux of the matter.”

Alechino exhaled, and unconsciously exerted force on the palm of his hand resting on the deck railing.

If she had a choice, she didn't want to have any contact with that existence.

"Mr. Chen is a very easy-going person... well, at least most of the time."

Tartaglia thought of the giant snake that beat him up in the Golden House, and he couldn't help but feel phantom pain. He coughed lightly and said, "As long as you are reasonable and don't think about competing with him, you will be fine under normal circumstances."

"..."

Alechino turned his head and looked at Tartaglia with a strange look. He glanced at him and said nothing.

She must be crazy to think of fighting with that monster. She is not Dotorei, who cut herself into so many pieces, and there are still a group of them if one dies.

Immediately, Arlecino thought of something, and her eyes looked strange and surprised. She looked at her colleague who was known for his "innocence" and "combativeness" and asked, "Have you ever had a competition with... Mr. Chen?"

Then how come you are still alive and well?

"…It wasn't a sparring match, I just got beaten up."

Tartaglia's face was slightly gloomy, as if he didn't want to recall the scene at that time. He grinned and said, "But there are still gains. At least the Heart of God of Liyue and Mondstadt was obtained."

Alechino didn't know how to comment on the way Tartaglia got the two Hearts of God, so she retracted her gaze and continued to look in the direction of Fontaine.

The Queen once promised her that when the Fatui obtained the Heart of Fontaine, she would let her keep it for a period of time and try to resolve the Fontaine prophecy crisis by using it - even if there would probably be no results, it was at least an idea.

Now that the real key to solving the prophecy crisis has appeared, she doesn't know how to contact that existence. Should she visit him directly, state her purpose, and ask him to help?
But why should he help Fontaine? What kind of reward could he offer?
Indirect contact, creating coincidences, and when the time is right and things are natural, then use emotion and reason to persuade them?
But does that being really have a human sense of good and evil? If the "salvation" he understood was to make all the people of Fontaine completely embrace death, then by then, she would not even have the chance to regret.

And Funina…what is she doing now that the Fontaine prophecy is approaching and the monsters have arrived in the Water Kingdom?
Alechino's eyes flickered slightly. She had suspected a long time ago that Finina was not a god, but she had always lacked the necessary evidence.

She exhaled lightly, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She realized something was wrong and turned around immediately, her pupils shrinking suddenly.

On this deck, two figures suddenly appeared without anyone noticing!
"Such a familiar smell... Is it the abyss?"

Chen Tianfeng sniffed and looked at Alecino with a kind smile: "The Fourth Executor of the Fatui, [Servant] Alecino... do you want to make a deal?"

"…What deal?"

Alechino recognized Chen Tianfeng and his heart was tense. He even subconsciously ignored Funina beside him.

"How about I use this to exchange for the curse on you?"

Chen Tianfeng raised his hand, and an emerald green chess piece appeared in his hand.

"This is... Xumi's Heart of God?!"

Alecino was shocked. She gritted her teeth and her expression changed again and again. Finally, she took a long breath with difficulty and shook her head, saying, "Alecino, thank you for your kindness, but the curse is also power. I don't want to give up now."

"pity."

Chen Tianfeng didn't care. He was about to put the chess piece away when he saw Fu Nina's curious look. He handed the chess piece over and said, "Here, a high-quality replica of the Heart of God. I'll give it to you."

"Eh? Is that okay? Thank you, Mr. Monster!"

Fu Nina happily took it, but then she was stunned for a moment: "What does high imitation version... mean?"

"It's a replica, or a fake."

Chen Tianfeng patiently answered, "The real Heart of God is in the hands of the Great Compassion Tree King. After all, it belongs to Xumi, so it's not easy for me to take it away, right?"

"..."

Finina blinked, thinking that what he said made sense, but also that it didn't make sense. She glanced at Alechino secretly, and seeing her wonderful expression, she finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

The slight fear that Furninna had towards Alechino due to some things disappeared at this moment.

High imitation, fake...Alechino's face twitched, and when he heard the laughter again, he noticed that Fernina was also there. Then he realized the overly close distance between Fernina and Chen Tianfeng, and the name "Mr. Monster".

Alechino's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, but he was not sure for a moment.

Could it be that the reason why Chen Tianfeng came to Fontaine was because of Funina’s request for help?
If this is true, then Funina must be a god. Only in this way can she have the qualifications and confidence to communicate with Chen Tianfeng on an equal footing. And it seems that Funina is not afraid at all...

Could it be that Furninna had been pretending all along?

Alechino fell into deep thought.

at the same time,

Momang Palace,
Navilette, who had changed to a new cane, nodded solemnly, agreeing to Fukaros's request, then hesitated for two seconds and said worriedly: "That... Mr. Chen Tianfeng, will you take this opportunity to eat another Dragon King?"

He couldn't help but worry. After all, compared to transferring power, it was easier for Chen Tianfeng to swallow the Dragon King and then strip away the power.

"Probably...not right?"

Fucaros was also unsure, and he and Villette looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.

But even though they were worried, they could only choose to believe in Chen Tianfeng and hope that he would not break his promise.
