Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

You have to take one step at a time and eat one bite at a time. Being greedy is a good thing, but the degree of greed must be linked to your strength.

If you want the courage to say I want it all, you must have the strength to accept it all.

Otherwise, you might accidentally turn into the legendary Clown King.

After obtaining the Sky Harp, Lu Sheng quickly returned to the church ward. He had only been away for less than ten minutes, so Barbara and the others would definitely not notice him.

The wind is still blowing outside the church. According to the plot, the Knights will go to the Temple of West Wind to destroy the energy source of the Wind Dragon.

Taking this opportunity, he could plow up all the monsters near Mond and upgrade them.

If he wanted to kill the Wind Demon Dragon, his current strength was still not enough. Even with his full strength, the Gale of Absolute Slash just now only left a few shallow wounds on the Wind Demon Dragon's body.

Several hours passed, and the news of the storm in Mondstadt still did not stop, but the Knights had already moved all the residents of the city to a safe place.

Qin, who had been busy for half a day, did not have time to rest. She brought Lisa and Kaia to the church to check on Lu Sheng's condition. Amber and Noel also came to help.

"You were really reckless, you know that? When you rushed towards the Wind Dragon with that broken sword, I had already decided where to place your grave."

Kaia still finds the scene he saw at that time outrageous.

What he said was exactly what he was thinking at the time, without any exaggeration.

"In any case, we have to thank the Traveler for reducing the casualties among the Knights and the citizens. Mondstadt owes you a great favor."

Qin stepped forward and expressed her gratitude to Lu Sheng on behalf of the residents of Mondstadt and the Knights.

Lisa sat directly on the edge of the bed, reached out and took Lu Sheng's hand, and studied it carefully like a laboratory mouse.

"My dear, how are you? Are you still in pain? I have a special potion. How about you go back to the lab with me later? I can study how your body activates elemental forces."

"Lisa, let the travelers have a good rest. We have more important things to do. Have you made any progress in your research on the Wind Demon Dragon?"

Lisa put down Lu Sheng's hand and replied, "Of course there is. The reason why the Wind Dragon can bring such a powerful storm is that it borrowed the remaining power in the West Wind Temple. As long as we destroy the source, the storm in the city will naturally stop."

"Let's act now without delay. A second later will put Mondstadt in greater danger. You take your men to the three West Wind Temples to destroy the Wind Dragon's energy source. I will stay in the city with the rest of the Knights to prevent the Wind Dragon from attacking again."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, everyone hurriedly left Mondstadt with their men and headed to destroy the source of the Wind Dragon's energy.

"I can go and help."

Lu Sheng climbed out of bed and wanted to follow the Knights to clear out the temple.

Qin stopped him immediately.

“You need to rest!”

"No need. Barbara has already treated me. I am in better condition than ever before. Even if the Wind Dragon comes back, I can still beat it away."

"Captain Jean, you don't have to feel like you owe me anything. Just think of me as a bounty hunter. I do the dirty work for Mond and kill monsters, and the Knights give me Mora as a reward. We don't owe each other anything."

After saying that, Lu Sheng left alone despite Qin's dissuasion.

Rest? Can I sleep well? At this stage, at this stage of my development, can I sleep well?

You can miss anything but you must not miss the delicious elemental power in the West Wind Temple!

Since it is the source of the Wind Dragon’s power, the wind element power contained therein must be quite abundant. The three temples are equivalent to three tonic pills!

I, Lu Sheng, hate wasting food the most. If you have food and don’t eat it, you’re a bastard. Not to mention that there are so many monsters of different elements along the way.

If I kill all these monsters, I can get Mora. I can get both food and gifts. Where else in the world can I get such a good thing?

Lu Sheng returned to his destination and hid the stolen Sky Harp in a secluded place. After a little repair, he prepared to set off for the Temple of the West Wind.

As soon as he reached the city gate, several people wearing strange masks suddenly blocked his way.

Fools?

Lu Sheng recognized at a glance that the masks on those people were unique to the Fatui.

"A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way."

"Don't be so aggressive. Our counselor wants to meet with you. Please move. It won't take you too long."

Oh? The Fatui actually took the initiative to find me?

Lu Sheng's interest was immediately piqued. He didn't seem to have provoked the Fatui during the time he came to Mondstadt, right? Instead, they took the initiative to come to him.

Then let’s go and take a look. I want to see what the Fools are up to.

"lead the way."

A moment later, Lu Sheng, led by two Fatui, came to a luxuriously decorated study on the second floor of a villa.

As soon as Lu Sheng entered the door, two Fatui closed the door and stood on both sides of the door, one on the left and one on the right.

In the study, a woman in a purple robe and a mask on her face looked up at Lu Sheng, then turned to her subordinates behind her and yelled, "How rude! Is this how I teach you to treat guests? Hurry up and find a stool for the hero who just saved Mondstadt!"

"Please sit down~"

The woman showed extreme friendliness when facing Lu Sheng.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Anastasia, and I am the diplomatic counselor from the Kingdom of Winter. Perhaps you have heard of our other name - Fatui."

"Hmm, what next?"

Lu Sheng crossed his arms and asked back with a smile.

"The name Fatui doesn't seem to surprise you, does it?"

"Why should I be surprised? The Fatui are... scary?"

Anastasia sat up straight, crossed her fingers on the table, and said in a playful tone: "The Fatui's fear is relative. We are tolerant of our friends, and we don't mind taking the worst measures to punish our enemies. My attitude depends on whether you choose to be our friend or our enemy."

"Oh? You mean, I can still choose by myself?"

"Of course, I saw your fight with the Wind Dragon just now. I have to admit that you are very powerful. In our country of Winter, strength is everything. Therefore, I like you very much. Please forgive me for taking the time to find out some information about you. I found out that you are not a member of the Knights of Favonius, and you just came to Mondstadt not long ago."

"I don't like beating around the bush. I hate it most when talented people are buried. The Knights of Favonius, a bunch of pedantic people, can't accomplish anything great. Why don't you come to us, the Favonius, and make friends? How do you think?"

Mondstadt: Chapter 9: I want to be the twelfth seat of the Fatui

The corners of Anastasia's mouth rose slightly, and she seemed very confident, as if the olive branch she threw out would definitely impress the man in front of her.

"What if I refuse?" Lu Sheng asked back emotionlessly.

"Of course you can refuse, and we won't make it difficult for you, but please note that people with your strength will be marked as dangerous by us Fatui. We will always keep an eye on you. If you accidentally get in our way one day, we will kill you without hesitation."

"Is it so scary? Please don't kill me! Can't I join? As long as you don't kill me, I will do anything."

Anastasia was caught off guard by Lu Sheng's rapid change of expression. She thought the negotiation would be troublesome, but she didn't expect that the other party would be convinced by a little intimidation. She even doubted her own judgment of people. It would be a waste to recruit such a spineless guy into the Fatui.

"You agree now?"

"Oh, by the way, I have two small requests, and I hope the Fatui can satisfy me."

Lu Sheng changed the subject and started to discuss the conditions.

"Go ahead. The treatment of us Fatui is the best in all of Teyvat. Not to mention two small requests, even twenty will be no problem."

Hearing the other party agree so readily, Lu Sheng raised the corner of his mouth, leaned in front of Anastasia, and said seriously: "First, I want 500,000 Mora, and all of it will be transferred to my account."

Anastasia took a deep breath. Five hundred thousand Mora was not a small number, but considering this man's ability to repel the Wind Dragon, it was not impossible to negotiate with the higher-ups for it.

"Okay, I promise you, but I don't have the final say on the maximum amount that can be approved. I will do my best to help you get it. What about the second one?"

"The second one is even simpler. I want your queen to appoint me as the twelfth seat of the Fatui. I've even thought of a code name. It's 'The Fool'."

Anastasia's pupils dilated instantly, and when she realized she had been tricked, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"Asshole! How dare you play tricks on me?! Take him down for me!"

At the command, the Fatui at the door took action instantly.

In an inconspicuous alley in Mondstadt, a few stray cats huddled in the corner to avoid the storm outside. Suddenly, one of the cats pricked up its ears, as if it heard a miserable cry coming from far away.

boom! ! !

A loud bang exploded in the alley, and the red brick wall of the villa turned into debris like tofu. Amidst the stone chips, a twisted black shadow flew out and fell to the ground like a pile of mud, rolling several times before barely stopping.

Immediately afterwards, another black shadow screamed and flew backwards, crashing heavily into the house opposite, with its body firmly embedded in the wall.

In the study, Lu Sheng stepped on two Fatui, adjusted his cuffs with his hands, looked up at Anastasia with an indifferent expression.

"Damn it! These bastards! Don't come over here! Don't force me!"

Anastasia was forced into a corner with no way to retreat. All she could do was to loudly warn Lu Sheng not to come any closer.

Lu Sheng felt his ears stinging from the woman's screams, so he walked forward and tried to tell her to shut up.

"You forced me to do this!"

In an instant, Anastasia's pupils suddenly turned blood red, and around her waist, an eye-shaped ornament was emitting a strange red light.

"Evil Eye?!"

Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he instantly used the Forward Slash to approach Anastasia, knocking her to the ground with an elbow. Before she could fully unleash the power of the Evil Eye, he snatched the Evil Eye away and refined it in an instant!

Interrupting spell casting and the like always works.

[Ding! Unknown elemental force is detected, converting...]

[The identification result is the evil eye elemental power, and a new skill branch has been opened for you. ]

[The level of the evil eye has been upgraded, and a new skill has been obtained: Demonization - Use the power of taboo to strengthen yourself. After turning on the demonization, all your attributes will increase by 1%]

"Ah!! What did you do?! That's my evil eye! No! This is impossible! Give the evil eye back to me! Give it back to me!!"

"Shut up!" Lu Sheng shouted to scare the other person. "I clearly saved your life, and you want to use the evil eye? If I hadn't helped you, you would have been turned into a wrinkled old woman by the evil eye's power."

He kicked Anastasia away and grabbed her neck and pressed her against the bookshelf. With just a little force, he could send this diplomat from the Kingdom of Winter back to his hometown.

"I am the counselor of the Kingdom of Winter! A member of the Fatui! How dare you kill me? Have you considered the consequences?"

Anastasia's face flushed with anger. Her mask was damaged, revealing a good-looking face distorted by anger in front of Lu Sheng.

"If I don't kill you, does that mean I can do whatever I want to you?"

Lu Sheng glanced meaningfully at Anastasia's figure. The curvy lady with black stockings would score about 6 points according to his aesthetic standards.

"Well! Then you'd better kill me!" Anastasia tried to struggle, but the tightening force on her neck made her whole body limp.

"Idiot, I can still do whatever I want if you're dead, but you're not worthy of my interest."

"What on earth do you want to do?!"

There was a hint of crying in Anastasia's voice. As an envoy of the Kingdom of Winter, she had never suffered such humiliation since she was a child. She had always been the one to threaten others, and no one had ever been able to bully her!

What frightened her even more was the indifference she saw in this man's eyes, the same indifference she had seen in the executive she had met before.

It was a kind of coldness that could kill people without any hesitation, making people shudder!

Her voice trembled because she realized at this moment that she was really going to die.

Lu Sheng tightened his grip a little more, twisted Anastasia's neck to force her to look at him, and spoke in a teasing tone.

"I really like your evil eye. I'll take it from you and consider it as a deposit for me to join the Fatui."

"But if you want to recruit me, this is far from enough."

"Listen carefully to me. Tell your superior exactly what I said. I know that a certain Fatui executive is in Mondstadt right now. If you want to talk, ask her to come talk to me. You are not qualified to do so."

"Tell her that what she wants is with me. If she wants to win me over, she has to show some sincerity."

After saying that, Lu Sheng raised his hand and knocked Anastasia unconscious. Before leaving, he accidentally turned on the automatic pickup switch, and then accidentally put all the valuables in the study into his pocket before leaving here contentedly.

When they reached a deserted place, Lu Sheng stopped and curiously activated the demon transformation skill he had just unlocked.

I thought it would be a look like the brothers Dante and Vergil in Devil May Cry, or at worst, like the Demon King's Armor of the Young Master. However, the fact is that the so-called demonization is just an extra layer of faint dragon scale-like patterns on the skin.

"It only increases the properties by 1% and the appearance remains unchanged. Isn't it too useless? Or... can this thing also be upgraded?"

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng opened the system to study it. Sure enough, the level of the evil eye can be upgraded, and with each level up, the attributes after demonization can be increased by 1%.

It is estimated that the appearance will also change as the level increases.

In short, it’s good to be able to upgrade. As long as you can upgrade, you can clearly see the way to become stronger, which is much better than most online novel protagonists who have to cross the river by feeling the stones.

A lot of my time was wasted by that counselor. I have to hurry to the Temple of West Wind, otherwise I won’t even have a sip of soup.

As for the Fatui, after the counselor goes back to report the news, it probably won’t be long before the “lady” comes to them on her own initiative.

Lu Sheng is not the type of person who would hang himself on a tree. In order to obtain the elemental power of the Wind Dragon, he can cooperate with the Knights of Mondstadt, but if the Knights are unreliable, he doesn't mind using the Fatui to achieve his goal.
