The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 46: The power concept of the hill people

Chen Tianfeng took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, thought for a while, left his long knife behind, put a dagger in his pocket, and took a small box before leaving the guest room.

The maid waiting outside the guest room bowed slightly to Chen Tianfeng and took him to the restaurant where the winery entertained guests.

The difference between the real Dawn Winery and the one in the game is that the winery in the game is more like a luxurious single-family villa, while the one in reality can be called a manor.

But whether in reality or in the game, one thing is the same - Chen Tianfeng can't afford it.

Chen Tianfeng glanced at the maid in front of him who was wearing the standard black and white maid uniform, then looked at the winery's grand decoration and pursed his lips.

I’m so envious! This is a wonderful life that only appears in dreams.

When I have money, I will buy a manor like this.

Forget it, it's just a house, it's fine as long as it's habitable. Besides, living in such a big house by myself, I probably won't be able to adapt.

"Mr. Chen, we are here."

"Well, thank you."

Chen Tianfeng nodded in thanks and walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant was brightly lit, but its style was not as soft as the ones in Mondstadt, but rather a bit tough. I guess Diluk redecorated it according to his own ideas.

"Mr. Chen, please sit down."

Diluk sat in the main seat, and Curry sat on the other side to keep him company.

"Thank you."

Chen Tianfeng took a seat and subconsciously glanced at the various delicacies on the table, his eyes flickering slightly.

It seems that Curry is not just a small businessman of Dawn Winery as he said.

These various dishes, with good colors, aromas and flavors, reminded Chen Tianfeng of the banquet at Liuli Pavilion. Diluk treated him with such specifications, naturally because of Curry, and Curry was naturally not a "small businessman".

"What are you planning to do in Mond? Business?"

Diluk tried his best to control his tone so that his question would not lean towards an interrogation. "If you want to do business, Dawn Winery has some influence in Mondstadt. If Mr. Chen needs anything, feel free to ask."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Diluc. It's just that I'm used to being idle, and I'm afraid I have neither the intention nor the ability to do business. I came to Mondstadt this time only because I heard that Mondstadt has great scenery, so I came here specially to see it for myself." Chen Tianfeng naturally didn't care about Diluc's tone, nor was he surprised that this noble young man from Mondstadt was a little wary of him.

In the plot, Diluk angrily quits the Knights for some reason, and thinks that except for a few people, the Knights are all incompetent fools. But this does not hinder Diluk's ideal of protecting Mondstadt, nor does it affect his transformation into a "Night Hero", hiding during the day and working at night, silently contributing.

——It is reasonable to suspect that this character’s personality is modeled after the nobleman in Gotham City.

"What does Mr. Chen do?"

“Something of a writer.”

"writer?"

Diluk raised his eyebrows. He had never heard of any writer who was responsible for several deaths.

"Yes. Mr. Diluc, do you know the 'Guide to Teyvat Travel'?" Chen Tianfeng's eyes showed yearning, and it didn't seem fake. "My greatest wish in this life is to travel around the world like the author of this book, witness the scenery, and finally write a travelogue, so that many people who have never traveled far can see the exotic scenery from the text."

"The Teyvat Travel Guide. The travel notes published by Ms. Alice in the travel magazine sponsored by the Adventurers' Association?"

"Yes, Mr. Diluk really knows about this wonderful travel journal."

"Wonderful."

Diluk was silent for a moment, then looked up at Chen Tianfeng: "Mr. Chen, what do you think of the Hill tribe living in the Dadaupa Valley?"

"Hmm?" "Have you ever thought about building a huge spherical rotating cage in the depression in the center of the valley, capturing all the hill people in the surrounding area and locking them in it, so as to provide energy for all the Mondstadt mills?"

“Ah? Hahaha, it turns out that Mr. Diluc was talking about Ms. Alice’s amazing points.”

Chen Tianfeng smiled, recalling a distant memory: "I remember that Ms. Alice also suggested: 'Send the old and exhausted hillbillies to the mill to be processed into feed, and feed them to the strong hillbillies, perhaps they can generate energy for a longer period of time, and maybe they can easily drive a huge factory like the Winter Kingdom!'"

"It's a really jaw-dropping idea, so wild and unconventional."

Chen Tianfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Only a great person like Ms. Alice can have so many wonderful ideas. I am just an ordinary person. At most, I just record some scenery."

"Recording scenery is also a great thing. Mr. Chen is too modest." Diluk raised his glass: "I would like to congratulate Mr. Chen on his success in advance."

"Then I will accept Mr. Diluc's advice."

Chen Tianfeng also raised his glass and faced him from a distance.

"Brother Chen, have you decided where to go next?"

Curry put down his glass and asked cheerfully, "Star-picking Cliff? Wind-rising Land? Or Eagle Soaring Beach?"

"No, no, I've been walking for too long, and I'm just dying to be alone." Chen Tianfeng said, "To be honest, I want to find a place to stay in Mondstadt and stay there for three to five months. It's also a good time to record what I've seen and heard along the way."

"That's fine. Mondstadt welcomes every traveler from afar."

Curry nodded and said, "Brother Chen is new here. If you have any difficulties, just tell us and we will work together to find a solution."

Diluk nodded. “That’s what I meant as well.”

"This..." Chen Tianfeng looked hesitant.

"If you trust me, Mr. Chen, just tell me directly."

"To be honest, I do have something I would like to trouble you with, Mr. Diluc."

Chen Tianfeng cupped his hands and said, "I wonder how is Mr. Diluc's relationship with the West Wind Church?"

"Not good, but not bad either." Diluk narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why do you ask this, Mr. Chen?"

"I have heard that the West Wind Church is very good at creating instruments that guide elemental forces. I would like to ask the church to help me create an item, but I have no connections and my influence is not strong enough, so I would like to ask Mr. Diluk to come forward."

Chen Tianfeng took out the small box, placed it on the table, and pushed it slightly towards Diluc: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't despise it, Mr. Diluc."

The maid serving nearby took the box, opened it, and placed it in front of Diluk.

A [Burning Wish Agate Block] that was faintly emitting heat lay in it. It was one of the outputs of the earth veins that the brothers of the Red Hand Society helped Chen Tianfeng to dig.

In Teyvat, this kind of gemstone containing pure elemental power is rarely produced, so it is extremely precious. A small [Burning Wish Agate Fragment] is worth tens of thousands of Mora, not to mention [Burning Wish Agate Fragment] and [Burning Wish Agate Block].

As for the complete [Burning Wish Agate], it is a treasure that is hard to come by.

Apart from the extremely wealthy and powerful, only those powerful adventurers possess complete gems and jades.

Diluk glanced at it and didn't care. He looked at Chen Tianfeng with a curious look in his eyes: "What does Mr. Chen want to make? A sword, a bow, a gun, or some other weapon?"

"A glove."

".Gloves?"

Diluk was stunned. He really didn't understand why this man would go to so much trouble to make a pair of gloves.

A glove, not a boxing glove, nor an arm guard.

Not even a pair!
