Chapter 73 The Rejected Future
"Kaia? When did you arrive? Wait! You just watched?!"
Yula reacted and frowned.
"I just arrived. Don't you think the two of you are working in perfect harmony? I'm just adding to the chaos."
Kaiya smiled without any shame and changed the subject: "The Fools suffered heavy losses in the explosion, and only a small part of the treasure thief group escaped. This mission is basically completed, and only the final finishing work is left. "
His strength is almost as strong as Noel's, and he has a high degree of control over the wind element. He doesn't look like he just obtained the Eye of God. His sword skills are only slightly lacking, and can only be called proficient, far from advanced. .
Kaiya's eyes flashed slightly, recalling Chen Tianfeng's performance just now, and adjusting his threat index in his mind.
"Captain Kaiya is referring to the secret treasure?" Chen Tianfeng glanced at the direction Kaiya came from, thoughtfully: "Did the seal withstand the explosion?"
Kaia came from the direction of the Gongtai seal, and specifically said that the mission still had to be completed, which meant that he failed to take the secret treasure.
"No, the seal was broken. It was a leyline projection monster."
Kaia shook his head and said: "The explosion just now seems to have affected the earth's veins. There are monsters appearing inside the entire ruins, and the surroundings of the secret treasure are no exception. It is very troublesome."
"Speaking of why it exploded, what did you do?" Yula's eyes turned to the two of them, and she reasonably expressed her doubts and conjectures.
"Captain Youla misunderstood. I didn't do anything. Just by sneaking into the treasure stealing group without arousing suspicion, I already asked me to do my best." Chen Tianfeng said sincerely that no one believed it.
"Mr. Chen is really funny. I saw with my own eyes that you led a group of treasure thieves to besiege the fools. If you just 'do not arouse suspicion', you can't do this, right?"
Kaia glanced at him and smiled playfully: "I didn't do anything, and I almost got killed."
"Anyway, it really doesn't arouse any suspicion."
Chen Tianfeng's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed his hand to Kaiya: "Captain Kaiya is truly humble. I also saw with my own eyes that you got into the group of fool leaders, had close contact with the magic circle, and then the normal functioning magic circle exploded. It's great. means."
Youla twitched the corner of her mouth. Seeing the two of them exposing each other, she couldn't help but feel a headache. She sighed: "So why did the explosion happen?"
"."
"."
Kaiya and Chen Tianfeng looked at each other, but neither of them had any intention of explaining.
"What monsters are around the secret treasure?"
Chen Tianfeng naturally changed the topic back, "To make Captain Kaiya feel troublesome, he must not be an ordinary Qiuqiu person."
"Well, three Chuchu Lei Kabuto, plus a dozen Chuchu thugs."
Kaiya looked serious and took over Chen Tianfeng's topic: "There are too many monsters, and they are gathering together again. I tried to lure them away and solve them bit by bit, but it was a pity that it was useless - these monsters never left the Gongtai too far."
Obviously, neither of them wanted to explain the cause of the explosion at this moment, at least not by themselves.
"What happened to the explosion?"
Yola looked at the two of them suspiciously, looking like she was asking for more information.
"this"
"Of course Captain Kaia knows this matter best. He is closest to the magic circle and can see it most clearly."
Chen Tianfeng moved slightly, changed his position slightly, and together with Youla, turned their searching eyes to Kaiya: "Please ask Captain Kaiya to clear up the confusion."
"."
Kaiya's face twitched, and she took a deep look at Chen Tianfeng. She regretted that she was a step too late, and lamented that she actually cared about face a little more than Chen Tianfeng. It seemed that she had slacked off recently.
He thought for a few seconds and then said: "Schubert Lawrence."
It’s better not to hide things like this from Youla, otherwise the longer you hide them, the greater the chance of conflicts and misunderstandings.
Not everything can be done in the name of "for your own good".
".Um?"
Yora was stunned, as if she didn't understand why Kaiya suddenly said this name.
Schubert Lawrence, her uncle, was a standard old aristocrat, full of pride but incompetent, rigid and conservative, clinging to the glory of thousands of years ago, always dreaming that one day Lawrence could regain his glory.
Such a person should pose no threat. Even if he wants to do something to harm Mondstadt, he doesn't have the talent to support his success.
"The Fools cooperated with Schubert, and Schubert found a 'master alchemist' named Cornel."
Kaia carefully used the words to describe in as much detail as possible, while defining Schubert's behavior as a "personal behavior" and distinguishing it from the entire Laurence family.
".That's it. It's like something my uncle can do."
Yora lowered her eyes, took a breath, and slowly exhaled: "Is the 'alchemist master' named Cornel still alive?"
No matter what, Schubert is her uncle and her family member. Even though the relationship has already reached the point where they hate each other, it does not prevent her from avenging him.
Before she joined the Knights and nearly broke up with the family, although her uncle had always regarded her as a freak in the family, he never denied her identity as the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family and believed that she was indeed capable of leading the Lawrence family to regain its glory.
Both emotionally and rationally, she should avenge Shubert Lawrence and her uncle.
"died."
Chen Tianfeng gave the answer: "Ten minutes ago, he died by my knife."
".ah?"
Youla blinked and looked at Chen Tianfeng half confused and half confused: "Did you kill him?"
But why? Could it be that Chen Tianfeng was also deceived by Cornell?
"About six months ago, Cornell committed a fraud in Liyue Port, and a friend of mine was defrauded of all his savings."
Chen Tianfeng paused and said, "In addition to traveling, I also wanted to find Cornel and get an explanation for my friend when I came to Mondstadt."
"Did Mr. Chen get an explanation?" Kaiya raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I asked him if he remembers my friend and if he is willing to pay back the money. He said he doesn't remember. I don't want any money, but my life. If you can, you can kill me and you can still pay back the defrauded money."
Chen Tianfeng sighed with emotion: "To be honest, I have never heard of such a strange request."
"Mr. Chen started calling himself 'I'm here' again."
Kaia smiled and meant something.
"Indeed, it's a bit deliberate." Chen Tianfeng thought for a while and said, "Let it just follow your mood in the future."
Kaiya glanced at Chen Tianfeng in surprise, feeling that he seemed a little different from before, seemed to be more free and easy?
"I didn't expect he was dead."
Youla reached out and brushed her hair, turned to look at Chen Tianfeng, and said solemnly, "Thank you."
".You're welcome."
Chen Tianfeng was in a strange mood. Looking at Youla's performance, he would have killed Schubert if he hadn't been stupid and cheated. Perhaps the worst-case scenario is that Yula discovers him and then joins forces with Kaia to hunt him down.
What will you do then?
Chen Tianfeng already had the answer in his mind: resist vigorously, try to fight back, and look for opportunities to escape.
If the situation gets worse and the situation becomes more unreasonable, the Knights will issue a wanted order and search for him with all their strength, regardless of the relationship between Mond and Liyue, and vow to kill this madman...
Then he would have no choice but to try to spill blood on every important body of water in Mondstadt - surrendering and accepting the situation would not be his choice.
I just felt a little sorry for Wendy. He was one of the few friends I had in the world of Teyvat.
