The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 63: The Liar and the Noble

Kaiya naturally didn't believe that Chen Tianfeng had mastered any bullshit forbidden technique, and he was skeptical about the fact that he had been to Inazuma. After much thought, the only possibility was that "Chen Tianfeng was greedy and intended to raise the price."

But this may be the most unlikely.

How can a greedy person shout "Yes, I love money" while calmly saying that he can get more rewards if he wants, or nothing if he doesn't?
So this bastard is setting a trap for him. Kaiya understood it in his heart, and glanced at Eula beside him with regret. If Eula was not there, he would go with the flow and say that it was just a treasure-stealing group, and it didn't matter if they all died, and Mr. Chen could just do it.

Maybe you could even see Chen Tianfeng looking embarrassed, but it's highly unlikely that he would be embarrassed. He would most likely just say something like "I was just talking nonsense, let's talk about the infiltration" without changing his expression.

Eula looked at Chen Tianfeng who was still smiling, and then at Kaia who was also smiling. She inexplicably felt that she was the redundant one in the tent.

Why are these two guys more difficult to deal with than her, the "Descendant of a Sinner"? !
The corner of Eula's eye twitched, and she patted the table again: "You two! This is an emergency! Don't bring up topics that are suitable for discussion in a tavern! Okay!"

"What do you think, Mr. Chen?" Kaiya kept smiling.

Chen Tianfeng remained calm and said, "Captain Youla is right. Let's talk about the infiltration."

Tsk, Kaeya's brother complex is such a problem. How about trying to trick Diluk into dealing with him some other time?
While the three men in the tent were discussing how to infiltrate the enemy, the leaders of the treasure-hunting group in the ruins also gathered together, some with sad faces, some sighing, and from time to time they glanced at the three men in the first place who were not from the treasure-hunting group.

It’s almost like saying it directly, the trouble is caused by you guys, no one wants to go into the Knights’ cell and undergo any kind of transformation, so come up with a feasible solution quickly!

The man who was the leader of the three was wearing black clothes, and his face gradually turned darker. He even began to doubt that cooperating with these treasure-stealing gangs who were nothing but rats was the worst choice he had ever made.

It was dark, they attacked by surprise, and they had the advantage in numbers. He really couldn't understand why, under such "advantages on my side", these treasure-stealing groups were still easily defeated after receiving some equipment support from the Fatui!

There were even a large number of casualties!

Sergei, the new debt handler of the Fatui, was in a somewhat irritable mood, especially after he found out that the original 17 treasure-stealing groups had been reduced to 11 groups after the defeat that night.

——These damn treasure-hunting groups would not deliberately sell out their teammates in order to take over the inheritance, right?
Sergei twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that this was most likely the case. One really should not overestimate the bottom line of these treasure-stealing groups, because they might not have this thing at all.

"Has the seal not been broken yet?"

Sergei let out a breath and decided not to think about the troubles of the treasure-stealing group. He cast his gaze towards the two figures on the other side: "Cornell, how long are you going to prepare? We are running out of time!"

"Very soon! I promise you!"

Cornell nodded repeatedly. He was thin and small, and although he straightened his back under the gaze of his "companion", he subconsciously showed a flattering smile on his face: "Don't worry, the materials for the [Element Elimination Reaction Array] are complete, and the array diagram is also mostly completed. In two days! One day! Just one day, we can activate the reaction array, open the seal and take away the treasure." "Cornell, you are a noble's attendant. You don't have to act like this even in front of your partners. Show your pride."

Cornell's "companion", a well-dressed middle-aged man who tried his best to maintain elegance and demeanor even in the ruins, frowned slightly, looked at Sergei, and said dissatisfiedly: "Please be careful with your words, my dear friend. Cornell is a servant who swore allegiance to the Lawrence family, not your subordinate."

"Mr. Schubert, you should be aware of the current situation. The Knights have arrived and may launch a general attack at any time. We don't have much time to waste."

Sergei's tone was heavy. If he and his men were not too far away from the main force, why would they cooperate with this old noble of Mond? He and his alchemists all looked unreliable.

"Of course I know, but there is nothing to worry about. The Knights are just a group of villains who stole the rights of the nobility. Sooner or later, I will stand on the rooftop of the Knights' headquarters and denounce their weak rule over Mondstadt, and take back everything that Lawrence has lost!"

Schubert snorted coldly, "Come to think of it, if you hadn't suddenly wanted to dig for some treasure, we would have returned to Mondstadt and worked hard to overthrow the Knights."

"I certainly have my reasons."

Sergei's eyes flashed. His original mission was indeed to go to Mond City with Schubert, but when passing through the Lookout Mountains, the demon breath detector in his arms suddenly responded and pointed directly to this ruins.

After friendly exchanges with several treasure-hunting groups, Sergei became excited when he learned that they were looking for treasures from the ruins. He reasonably speculated that the treasures from the ruins were related to the ancient demon gods, which was exactly what the Fatui were eagerly looking for now!
If we could get this secret treasure and present it to Her Majesty the Ice Queen, what an honor it would be!

So Sergei gritted his teeth and gathered many treasure-stealing groups with his men, making a solemn promise. First, he launched a surprise attack at night to disrupt the Knights' judgment, so that these cautious knights would stay on guard and create a time difference.

Then, before the Knights could react, they successfully found and entered the ruins, took the secret treasure and left quickly.

However, he did not expect that there was a tough elemental seal in front of the secret treasure of the ruins, which disrupted Sergei's plan. The secret treasure was right in front of him, and it was impossible to give up. It happened that Schubert had been bragging about Cornell being a great alchemist, so Sergei decided to let him try to break the seal.

But who would have thought that this guy could prepare for so long!
Every time he was told “it will be there soon” or “it will be there immediately”, he always wondered if he had been scammed.

Sergei closed his eyes, then opened them again and looked at Cornell, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: "Half a day, at most half a day! If you can't complete your bullshit formation diagram before dark, humph!"

The reinforcements of the Knights Templar have arrived. If you are any later, not only will you fail to obtain the secret treasure, you may even be captured and thrown into the Knights Templar's prison, waiting for the Executioner to rescue you!

"Enough! I say it again, we are cooperating! Cooperation requires the appearance of cooperation. Don't forget, if the Fatui want to operate in Mond, they must obtain the support of the Lawrence family!" Schubert's face was heavy. He obviously thought that Sergei's words repeatedly touched the bottom line of his nobleman and were extremely vulgar and rude.

Humph, these foreign barbarians are indeed a bunch of people who only have military power but lack self-cultivation.
