Genshin Impact: Journey to Teyvat

Chapter 89 "Heroes" are "villains" from another perspective

Hoffman's gentle eyes were full of distress: "Indeed, although it is in common language, many places are written like cipher text."

"But people can easily tell that this is a letter of challenge..." Ying frowned, and Paimon tilted his head: "In other words, the hero of the night is being targeted by the bad guys?"

Hoffman nodded: "That's right. We hope to discuss countermeasures with him as soon as possible. If you have any new news, remember to come to the Knights to find me."

"Okay, we understand." Gan Lin nodded: "Thank you for sharing the information."

After leaving the door of the Knights, Paimon whispered: "Let's go find Diluc and tell him the news."

The weather was not good in the afternoon, and there was a thunderstorm. When the three of them rushed to the winery, they were soaked even if they had raincoats.

Diluc was looking at a decoration in the hall on the first floor in a daze. He was a little surprised when the maid came in with three people: "Why are you here?"

"Diluc, we received it from the Knights of the West Wind..." Paimon said anxiously.

"I know, it's a challenge from the Abyss Cult, right?" Diluc looked at them clearly: "I already know, thank you for coming. Go change your clothes first and cook some ginger. Soup."

"Yes."

It’s really not good to have wet clothes, and as a frequent traveler, I always have clothes in my backpack.

After changing clothes, the maids thoughtfully brought ginger tea. Ying and Ganlin took a sip in unison: "Wow, it feels so much warmer!"

Downstairs, Diluc was sorting out information on the table. There was a small bowl next to him, with finely shredded paper burning in it.

Diluc looked up at them and said, "Come down."

"Master Diluc's information is really fast." Ying said as he went downstairs: "We just came here with the news, but we didn't expect that Diluc already knew it."

Diluc chuckled, tore up another piece of paper on the table and put it into the bowl: "The information of Chenxi Winery is not limited to business aspects."

"Then what is Master Diluc going to do?" Paimon looked close to the burning bowl and saw nothing.

Diluc tidied the table: "So, what are your opinions?"

"Why don't we just stay at Chenxi Winery to avoid the limelight?" Ying put forward her own idea.

Diluc frowned slightly: "But this is equivalent to leaving full power to the Knights of the West Wind."

"Hmph, if they were reliable, things wouldn't have come to this." Diluc really had a strong prejudice against the Knights, Ying thought.

There must be some kind of story, after all, Qin had called Diluc 'senpai' before.

"Besides, I, Diluc, don't even bother to hide and let the Knights deal with the aftermath for me." Diluc did not agree with this proposal, and Paimon was a little confused about how to answer: "The Abyss Order really posed a big problem for us. "

"There is a way, but it requires some information." Diluc looked at the photos brought by Gan Lin and pondered for a while: "...it is the information that can be concealed in the letter of challenge."

"Can it be covered up?" Paimon tilted his head in confusion: "Do you mean those places that cannot be seen clearly?"

Diluc nodded: "Yes, that is probably a coded message that only they can understand."

"So, this kind of information was written specifically for their own people?" Diluc thought of something like this.

"That's not just a letter of challenge, it's their own action announcement." Diluc sighed: "When there are opposing positions, the "hero" in the eyes of one party must be the "villain" in the eyes of the other party... Since I am the villain For so long, the Abyss Cult has made me their target..."

"So they will be more united?" Gan Lin nodded: "This is really a good strategy."

Paimon was confused: "Wow... Do you have to have such a strong mind to be a hero?" After all, she still didn't understand.

"I just know them very well, and like I said, the hero is the villain from another perspective."

Paimon shook his head dazedly: "Oh...then how are we going to understand the hidden information written in it?"

Diluc closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. He pointed to the ashes of the burned paper: "It's very simple. Just ask."

"I have discovered one of their strongholds... If you are interested, come with me."

Diluc took them to the secret place on Eagle Beach: "It's right here. Hidden in such ruins, it really agrees with their style."

There is nothing much to say about the ruins this time. As expected, I saw a water-type Abyss Mage all the way through.

"The rain freezes it." The wind element in Ying's hand is accumulating, and there is no need to hang water. The water abyss mage itself has the water element attached to it.

So the poor Water Abyss Mage was beaten limply on the ground in the two heavens of ice and fire: "You actually found me here... Damn Knights."

"I'm not a knight, tell me, what is your plan?" Diluc frowned and looked at it.

Master Abyss chuckled: "You also saw the letter, right? Don't expect me to tell you such a secret."

Diluc was speechless by this stupid abyss mage: "I'm afraid you don't see clearly the situation you are in."

Gan Lin's fire element arrow was aimed at it: "Beep, you will be punished if you answer wrong~"

"Ah!! So hot!"

The fire element arrow hit a non-fatal part of the Abyss Mage, but the fire element inside flowed along with the blood in the Mage's body, making the Abyss Mage roll all over the ground.

"If you get the answer wrong this time, just try this feeling. You are welcome at any time~" Gan Lin's gentle smile looked like an evil ghost in hell to the abyss mage.

"I said, I said, you...don't hit me..." Abyss Mage lay trembling on the ground, and Gan Lin retreated with satisfaction.

"The Order, the Order has gathered all the forces that hate the heroes of the night... and is preparing to break through Mondstadt from the main entrance at ten o'clock tomorrow night..."

It tremblingly glanced at Gan Lin who was beside Ying: "I...that's all I know. Stop hitting me. I can't bear it anymore."

Diluc shrugged silently: "Okay, I'm sorry you don't dare to hide anything."

But in the end, he did not let the abyss mage go. Diluc released the fire element mercilessly and burned it to ashes.

"Okay, now the situation is clear. If you can, please pay attention to the movements of the West Wind Knight." Then he nodded to the three of them: "I will make some preparations first."
