Chapter 48 Two Liars

Then Diluc faced Adeline's disappointed gaze and explained to her for nearly ten minutes that he had not forgiven Kaeya yet. He was not asking him to come back this time to reconcile, but to discuss something.

The head maid sighed, and the nobleman fled.

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

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

——Of course, it was not a secret like "I am 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] Canreya.

The Kingdom of Canreya 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. It is an unprecedentedly prosperous country and the pride of mankind - at least that's what the Kanreyans think.

Under the witness of the gods, Kanreya, which touched the taboo and tried to control the abyss, ushered in its demise and brought irreparable trauma to the whole world: the power of darkness spread and polluted everything it encountered. During that time, barbarians bred on the earth and monsters raged.

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

The countries of Teyvat made great 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 appeared.

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

Kaeya is a Kanreyan survivor, a chess piece placed by Kanreya in Mondstadt, and 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 Kaeya's biological father left him.

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

If Kanreya and Mond go to war, 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, Kaeya has been tortured by this unsolvable dilemma, and his body and mind are full of fatigue and pain.

Until that day, Krips died in an accident, breaking the balance of the scale. Kaeya felt relieved and ashamed of his selfishness. Out of guilt, Kaeya knocked on Diluk's door. The downpour 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 each other

It is worth mentioning that Kaeya obtained the Eye of God in this "smack from his brother", and it is unknown whether his wish is "to show his true self" or "brother to love me again".

These secrets were buried on 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 with the relationship between Kaeya and Diluc, the brothers. Under normal circumstances, the probability of seeing the wind god Barbatos in the Dawn Winery is greater than that of seeing Kaeya.

"Oh, I heard that a guest from Liyue came to Master Diluc's winery. When I saw him today, my friend is really extraordinary." Kaeya smiled warmly and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Kaeya, the current cavalry captain of the Knights."

"Hello, I am Chen Tianfeng."

Chen Tianfeng stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, thinking about the reason 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'm just strolling around."

"Oh? That's a coincidence. I have nothing to do either. Do you mind if I come with you?"

"Brother, that's not right. I just feel that it's too boring to wander around alone. I'd love to have you with me!"

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of eager smiles. They looked like they had met too late, and one could not help wondering 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 enthusiastically below. He could not help but remain silent for a few seconds, and then he 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 chat?" Adeline's eyes were filled with concern and expectation.

"No, if I stay with these two, I may not be able to help but draw my sword and force these two guys who are full of lies to shut up."

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

"You say."

"What kind of information can two liars who test each other with lies gain from each other?"

"This"

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

This guy is really good at talking nonsense!

Kanreya is obviously an underground kingdom. How come you, a survivor of Kanreya, have a pirate grandfather?

Chen Tianfeng smiled generously, without any sign of the anger in his heart. He was just about to become sworn brothers with Kaeya.

This guy is as good at talking nonsense as himself!

No matter how prosperous Liyue Port is, it is impossible to suddenly meet a rich man on the street and cry and shout to give you Mora, right?

Kaiya continued to chat with Chen Tianfeng with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling that he had met a worthy opponent.

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

After confirming with each other's eyes, they were both good people who lied ten out of ten times.

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

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

Kaeya 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 have to be so wary of me."

"."

"."

"Okay, I believe Mr. Chen."

Kaeya moved his eyes away and walked towards the gate of the manor: "Mondstadt is a free city-state. We welcome all guests from afar. If Mr. Chen encounters any difficulties in Mondstadt, you can come to the Knights to find me, and I will never hesitate to help."

"To be honest, I have a small problem now and I want to ask Mr. Kaeya 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, and 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 horse to the Knights to raise it."

"Thank you very much. I wonder how much Mora it will cost?"

"Well, the Knights have a special allocation, Mr. Chen doesn't need to worry about the cost."
