The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 64: The Silver Wing Treasure Thieves Return

These old Mondstadt nobles must be mentally ill.
Sergei was too lazy to pay attention to Schubert. His eyes passed over the stupid nobleman who was just an empty shell and fell on Cornell, causing cold sweat to break out on the latter's forehead and he nodded repeatedly.

Cornell felt bitter. At first, he just thought Schubert was easy to deceive. Although he was a fallen noble, he could still make some money if he tried hard. But who could have thought that this old noble had no self-awareness at all and was so bold that even a liar like him was dumbfounded!

Does he really think that the Lawrence family can really reach an equal cooperation with the Fatui? Even if the Knights are severely damaged by the Fatui, the Lawrence family will only be a puppet supported by the Fatui!
Most importantly, if you want to get yourself killed, don't take me with you! I told you I'm the master of alchemy, and you really believed it! Where's your brain?!

It would have been fine if he had believed it, but this guy actually recommended himself in front of the Fatui, and swore that a mere seal was nothing to Cornell. Thank you so much!

He knew nothing about seals, and the [Elemental Annihilation Reaction Array] was also something he made up, something he modified based on an incomplete array diagram he accidentally found in his early years. He had no idea what it did, and he didn't even know if it could be activated.

Once this matter is discovered, he will be dead no matter how you look at it.

Cornell cursed in his heart, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought quickly about how to escape from this place of trouble.

Now the Lawrence family can no longer be relied upon, and the Fatui can't get on the ship, so they have to find an excuse to escape.

As long as he could leave the ruins, the worst that could happen to him was that he would be thrown into the Knights' prison. He was just a lousy alchemy apprentice and a low-level liar. If he sincerely repented in prison, he would not be locked up for long before he could see the light of day again and resume his old ways.

Not knowing what Cornell was thinking, Sergei withdrew his gaze and looked at the leaders of the eleven different treasure-stealing groups: "Friends, please work hard for another two days. Don't worry, when this is over, as long as you bring the token, you can get the reward I promised at any Northland Bank."

"We can trust Mr. Sergei!"

“Don’t worry, just leave it to us!”

"That's right! They are just a group of knights, nothing to be afraid of!"

The thieves responded in a cacophony, as if they were not the ones who were defeated in the sneak attack not long ago, fully demonstrating what it means to be a mob, a pile of loose sand, and a standard ragtag army.
"However, Mr. Sergei, we still have a few small questions."

The thieves' leaders looked at each other, and somehow or other they chose a spokesperson: "As you know, six of our brothers died gloriously in battle, and our treasure-stealing group also fell apart. We couldn't bear to see our brothers suffer, so we discussed accepting them."

Yes, I know, and I also suspect that you were the ones behind this. Sergei nodded and motioned for them to continue.

"These six brothers who died in the battle also have tokens in their hands. We want to know, can this token still be used?" The spokesperson of the treasure-stealing team asked the question they were most concerned about.

So it turns out that you are the ones who are robbing each other. Sergei's eyes twitched, and he felt very complicated. He sighed and said the answer that the treasure-stealing groups hoped for the most: "It can be used. The Northland Bank only accepts tokens."

"That's good, that's good. Hehe, Mr. Sergei is indeed a trustworthy partner!"

The spokesman of the treasure-stealing group smiled warmly, rubbed his hands, and said, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Sergei. If there are new members of the treasure-stealing group, will you still give out tokens?"

"A new member?"

Sergei was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly darkened.

Are these shameless and immoral treasure-stealing gangs planning to have their subordinates form several new treasure-stealing gangs to come and defraud him of the token? !
It’s so deceiving!
"Yes, we were also surprised. We didn't expect that at this time, there would be brothers from the Treasure Stealing Group who could break through the blockade of the Knights, just to respond to the call of Raven Wing." The spokesperson for the Treasure Stealing Group said with emotion.

"Hehe. Are you sure they are [newcomers]? I hope they don't look familiar to me."

Sergei tapped the table lightly with a cold smile. He had had enough of these treasure-hunting groups and old Mond nobles who only held him back!
"He's really new here! We can guarantee that!"

The spokesman of the treasure-stealing group hastily assured him, obviously seeing Sergei's suspicion and dissatisfaction. He gritted his teeth and swore, "I swear to Crow Wing, if I have lied to Mr. Sergei about this matter, I will never be able to get close to the treasure again!"

For the treasure-stealing group, such an oath is as serious as the Mond people swearing to the wind god, saying that if they break their promise, they will never be able to drink fine wine again. ".Are you really new here?"

Sergei looked suspicious, "How did they get through the Knights' blockade?"

"That brother said that it was his way of making a living and it's not something he should spread to others."

"Are you sure they are a group of treasure robbers and not undercover agents sent by some knight order?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Sergei. That brother is a bandit. He can't possibly be a member of the Knights!"

"."

Sergei raised his hand and pinched his chin. He felt that something was wrong with this new treasure-hunting group. He frowned and thought about it. Suddenly he looked up at the spokesperson of the treasure-hunting group and asked in surprise, "Brother, is there only one person in the new treasure-hunting group?"

"Yes, I heard that they were originally a treasure-stealing group from Liyue, but later encountered an encirclement by the Thousand Rocks Army. He was the only one who escaped and came to Mondstadt after going through untold hardships." The spokesperson of the treasure-stealing group couldn't help but sigh: "No matter which country they are in, it's not easy for our brothers in the treasure-stealing group."

Nonsense, if the treasure-stealing group in a country has an easy life, then that country is really useless. Sergei twitched his lips and asked, "What is the name of the new treasure-stealing group?"

"Silver Wing, he said he was from the Silver Wing Treasure Thieves."

The spokesman of the Treasure Stealing Group answered, and then looked at Sergei hesitantly: "Mr. Sergei, are you still sending out the token?"

Is this all you remember?
Sergei felt a tightness in his chest and gritted his teeth: "Fuck! Fatui never go back on their promises."

The bankers in the North have big businesses and don't care about this little bit of operating funds.

However, the new treasure-stealing group consisting of only one person cannot keep the token, and this reward will definitely fall into the hands of these greedy guys in front of them.

"Brothers! Answer me! What is the purpose of joining the treasure-stealing group?"

"For the treasure!"

"That's right! For the treasure! Think about it, those precious treasures are buried underground and in ruins, and can only decay bit by bit. How regrettable it is! It is our treasure-stealing team that allows them to see the light of day again, allowing the treasures to escape from the mud and shine again!"

Chen Tianfeng raised his arms and shouted with a sincere expression: "So we joined the treasure-stealing group for the treasure, but we are not just for the treasure! The process of making the treasure shine again is also a process for us to prove ourselves, isn't it?"

"You, you, you! And you! You are all treasures buried in the mud, with great ambitions but unable to realize them. You watch time slip by little by little, but suffer from your own failure to accomplish anything! Are you willing to accept this?!"

"Not willing!!"

"It's right to be unwilling! That's why we are gathered here! Although the conditions are difficult, the ultimate enjoyment is to have peace of mind and a goal in mind! Answer me! Our slogan is!"

"Sleep in the ruins today, become the richest man tomorrow!"

"If you want to succeed, you must first go crazy and rush after money at all costs!!"

"Try hard to become a rich third generation, you have to work hard to avoid failure!!!"

When the eleven treasure-stealing leaders came back, they saw such a fanatical and frightening scene. They couldn't help but swallow and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why does it feel like they've only been gone for a while, and their subordinates are about to be recruited by the Silver Wing Treasure Stealing Group? !
