The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 48 Two Liars
Then Diluk faced Adeline's disappointed gaze and explained to her for nearly ten minutes that he had not forgiven Kaeya yet, and that he was not asking him to come back this time to reconcile, but to discuss something.
The head maid sighed quietly, and the young master fled in panic.

Kaeya, the current cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius. His full name is Kaeya Alberic. He is the adopted son of the wine tycoon [Legenfind] and Diluk's adopted brother.

On the rainy night when their common father, Cripps Leggenfond, died, Kaeya knocked on Diluk's door and told him a long-buried secret.

——Of course it’s not a secret like “I’m actually your half-brother.”

About five hundred years ago, in addition to the seven countries on the continent of Teyvat, there was also a [country without gods] called Kanreya.

The Kingdom of Kanreya has no gods, not because it once had a god who left or passed away, but because it has had no gods since its establishment. Kanreya is a country built entirely by humans, an unprecedentedly prosperous country, and the pride of mankind - at least that's what the Kanreyans think.

Witnessed by the gods, Kanreya, who touched the taboo and tried to control the abyss, met his demise, and brought irreparable trauma to the entire world: the power of darkness spread and polluted everything it encountered. During that time, barbarians multiplied on the earth and monsters raged.

People's living space is compressed within the city walls, and the wilderness is full of dangers.

The countries of Teyvat made tremendous efforts and sacrifices to deal with the dark disaster. During that dark period, countless families were broken, wives and children were separated, death was no longer far away, and countless heroic deeds occurred.

However, some Kanreya people do not think so. They believe that the Seven Gods and the laws of nature cannot tolerate a country that belongs only to humans. It is these wanton gods that destroyed Kanreya and ruined the pride of mankind.

Kaeya is a remnant of Kanreya, a chess piece planted by Kanreya in Mondstadt. He was abandoned in a foreign country by his father when he was young.

[This is your chance, you are our last hope.] - These are the last words Kaiya's biological father left him.

Kaia, who should have served Kanreya, was shaken by Mond and his adoptive father's adoption and this precious happy life.

If there is a war between Kanria and Mondstadt, which side should he stand on? Between his biological father who cruelly abandoned him and his adoptive father who took him in and raised him, who should he help?

For a long time, Kaia has been tormented by this unsolvable dilemma, and his body and mind are filled with fatigue and pain.

Until that day, Klips died in an accident, breaking the balance. Kaeya felt relieved, but also ashamed of his selfishness. Out of guilt, Kaeya knocked on Diluk's door. The heavy rain covered the smell of lies, and the secrets were revealed that night.

Then the brothers "broke up", drew their swords and fought each other, leaving a knot between them
It is worth mentioning that Kaia obtained the Eye of God in this "attack from his brother", and it is unknown whether his wish is "to show his true self" or "for my brother to love me again".
All these secrets were buried in that rainy night.

But this did not prevent Chen Tianfeng from being surprised when he suddenly saw the dark-skinned cavalry captain wearing an eye patch like a pirate.

He remembered that there was a problem in the relationship between the brothers Kaeya and Diluk. Generally speaking, the probability of seeing the God of Wind Barbatos in the Dawn Winery is greater than seeing Kaeya.

“Oh, I’ve heard that a guest from Liyue came to Master Diluk’s winery. Seeing him today, I can see that my friend is indeed extraordinary.” Kaeya smiled warmly and extended his hand: “Hello, I’m Kaeya, the current captain of the Knights’ Cavalry.”

"Hello, my name is Chen Tianfeng."

Chen Tianfeng stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, wondering why the cavalry captain appeared here.

It can't be because of him, right?

"What are you doing here, friend?"

"I have nothing to do, so I just wander around."

"Oh? That's a coincidence. I happen to be free too. Do you mind if I go with you, my friend?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? I just feel too bored wandering around alone. If you are willing to come with me, I would love to have you!"

The two men looked at each other, their three eyes filled with eager smiles, and they looked like they had met too late, making people wonder if they were brothers who had been separated for many years.

Diluk stood by the window on the second floor of the manor, looking at the two people chatting animatedly below. He could not help but remain silent for a few seconds, then closed the curtains with a "swish".

His idea was indeed correct, but it was a little too correct.

"Master Diluk, are you really not going to join their conversation?" Adeline's eyes were filled with concern and expectation. "No, if I stay with these two, I will probably be unable to resist drawing my sword and forcing these two liars to shut up."

Diluk shook his head, then raised his eyebrows slightly: "Adeline, I am curious about something now."

"You say."

"What kind of intelligence can two liars gain from each other when they test each other with lies?"

"This"

"The answer, of course, is nothing but lies."

This guy is really good at talking nonsense!
Kanreya is clearly an underground kingdom. How come you, a Kanreya survivor, have a pirate grandfather?

Chen Tianfeng smiled heartily, without showing any anger in his heart, and he was just about to become sworn brothers with Kaiya.

This guy is as good at talking as me!
No matter how prosperous Liyue Harbor is, it is impossible to suddenly meet a rich man on the street who will cry and beg to give you Mora, right?
Kaiya was still chatting with Chen Tianfeng with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart. He had an inexplicable sense of having met a worthy opponent.

The two chatted aimlessly while strolling along the path surrounding the winery. When they returned to the starting point, both Chen Tianfeng and Kaiya stopped communicating tacitly.

After checking with each other's eyes, I can tell that they are all good people whose words are all false.

So there is no need to make any more useless attempts.

"Let's be frank. What is Mr. Chen's purpose for coming to Mondstadt?"

Kaiya sighed, stopped, turned around and looked into Chen Tianfeng's eyes: "If possible, I might be able to provide some help to Mr. Chen."

"It's really just a trip." Chen Tianfeng also sighed, "Mr. Kaeya, I can assure the Rock King that I have no ill will towards Mondstadt. You and Mr. Diluk really don't need to be so wary of me."

"."

"."

"Okay, I believe Mr. Chen."

Kaiya looked away and walked towards the gate of the manor: "Mond is a free city-state. We welcome all guests from afar. If Mr. Chen encounters any difficulties in Mond, you can come to the Knights to find me. I will not hesitate to help you."

"To be honest, I have a small problem right now and I would like to ask Mr. Kaia for help."

Chen Tianfeng smiled sincerely.

"Oh? Mr. Chen, please go ahead."

"Mr. Kaia is the captain of the cavalry, right?"

"Yes."

"It's like this. I have a good bay horse that has been with me for a long time and has worked hard for me. But I have to stay in Mondstadt for several months now, so I don't think I can raise the horse myself. So I would like to ask Mr. Kaia to recommend a place to foster horses."

"That's easy. The Knights have a special stable. I can help Mr. Chen take the horses to the Knights to raise them."

"Thank you very much. How much Mora will it cost?"

"Well, the Knights have a special allocation for expenses, Mr. Chen, don't worry about it."
