Chapter 55: Those Years
"Daddy?"
"Is this a letter from your father?"
After reading the contents of the letter together, Eula asked in surprise.
"My adoptive father."
Lin Feng calmly folded the letter and replied casually.
"You...... Are you from Mondstadt? ”
Now Eula was even more surprised.
Lin Feng: Is he really from Mondstadt?
So how did he become Solstice's Senior Inspector General?
"Sort of."
There was no emotional change on Lin Feng's face.
He then folded the letter neatly and carefully placed it in his close pocket.
After doing this, he said again.
"It's a bit complicated to say."
"I didn't want to tell you that."
"But now."
Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Do you want to hear the story of my childhood?" ”
Eula's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "I want to hear it." ”
Lin Feng nodded and began to tell his story.
"About eighteen years ago, there was a Pastor of Mondstadt named Coulson, who was passing by the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain, and picked up a baby."
"According to him, the child didn't even have any clothes on him at that time, but even in the cold and snow, he didn't cry or make a fuss when he was naked, and just lay quietly on the ground."
Coulson felt that the boy was destined for him, and took him back to Mondstadt.
"And gave him a name, Albert."
"Albert?" Eula blinked and repeated.
Lin Feng smiled and pointed to himself: "Yes, it's me, this is my name in Mondstadt." ”
"My dad has adopted a lot of children, and at one point I had seventeen siblings."
"But among these children, only I call him daddy, and everyone else calls him teacher."
"I remember when he would show off loudly when he met people, saying that he finally had a son."
"Daddy Coulson is no ordinary man, he is the Patriarch of the Church of Favonius, and he is the chief instructor of the Dark Ministry of Mondstadt."
Finally hearing a familiar name, Eula raised her eyebrows: "Shadows? ”
"Is it the legendary Shadow that cleared all obstacles for Mondstadt?"
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded: "Dad is this identity, I have followed him since I was a child, and naturally I have been exposed to many dark skills." ”
"I'm very talented, others may not be able to get started in swordsmanship for a month or two, but I can play it in a good way after watching it."
"Others learn to open the door and pick the lock, these indiscriminate methods, often practice for a long time and there are still flaws, I can see it at a glance."
"Daddy was amazed at this."
So, in the following days, he trained me systematically and professionally."
"Soon, I was able to stand out from my dad's adopted children."
"When I was eight years old, my dad complied with my wishes and took me to the Knights of Favonius to apply for a trainee Knight of Favonius."
"I thought that with my ability, the qualification of a trainee Favonius Knight would be no problem."
"Unexpectedly, I was rejected."
"According to Falga, I am the son of an instructor in the dark department, of course I want to go back to the dark department to inherit my father's position, and what am I doing as a knight of Favonius."
"So I was personally assigned to work in the shadows, using his childly appearance and martial arts skills to help Mondstadt clean up the threat."
"But that's exactly what happened, I was targeted by the Church of Favonius."
"The Church of Favonius?" The more Eula listened, the more confused she became.
Listening to what Lin Feng said, he should have been a member of the West Wind Church.
What does it mean to be targeted by the Church of Zephyr?
"Ever heard of Project Dawn of Dawn?"
"Nope." Eula replied honestly.
"Simon Page has developed a plan to adopt orphans in large numbers, train special skills, and send them to Solstice to deliver information to Mondstadt."
"In layman's terms, it's okay to call it an undercover agent, and it's okay to call a dead soldier."
After Lin Feng said this, Eula's heart suddenly turned over the river and the sea.
She stammered, "You, you're, undercover, undercover?" Mondstadt's undercover agent in Solstice? ”
"It used to be, but not anymore." Lin Feng shook his head.
"After I was targeted by Simon Page, my dad strongly objected to me joining Project Daybreak."
"He thinks that a man of genius like me should not be sent to a foreign land, but should stay in Mondstadt and shine."
"Even if you can't become a Knight of Favonius, it's not impossible to become a Night Walker in the shadows."
"Eventually, after a few big fights with Daddy, Simon Page gave up on my callup."
"Since then, I have continued to work for the Dark Ministry of Mondstadt, and I have made a lot of contributions."
"But when I was ten years old, another accident happened."
"Diluc Legunfender."
"This genius boy my age, he has gained the Vision of God."
"And I, no."
"Ahh
She already knew what Lin Feng was going to say next.
It should have been a good thing that Mondstadt had two gifted teenagers.
But when one of them is approved by the gods, but the other is never there, the competition between the two in the open and in the dark becomes degenerate.
Lin Feng took a sip of water and continued, "After Diluc gained the Vision, Simon Page came to the door again. ”
"Daddy had another big fight with him, only this time, he couldn't protect me."
"I was forced to join Project Dawn of Dawn."
"The only thing Daddy got for me was an agreement that if I didn't get the Vision by the time I was fourteen, I would be sent to Solstice."
"During my days in church, I began to learn more undercover skills, and at the same time, I had to undergo at least two hours of intense brainwashing every day, so that I could only worship the god of wind and protect Mondstadt forever."
"At the same time, I will continue to work in the shadows, Simon is famous for this, actual combat assassination skills."
Looking at the gloom on Lin Feng's face, Eula gently held his hand and looked at him gently.
She didn't say anything comforting, everything was silent.
"Whew-"
After pausing for a while, Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief, swept away the previous haze and continued.
"But I'm still not convinced."
"What's wrong without a vision? Does not have a Vision necessarily a weakling? ”
"Isn't the Grand Master of the Five Hundred Years, Alan Delin, also without a Vision!"
"Why can Diluc stand in the sun and become the envy of everyone's genius, I can only fight people in the dark night, and I have to bear the risk of being sent to the winter at any time to die."
"So I secretly found Diluc and played a few games with him."
"I want to prove it to others, even if I don't have a vision, I'm still strong!"
"With this in mind, I didn't show mercy to my subordinates and beat Diluc a few times."
"I was excited to tell Bishop Simon about it when I was sure I was far superior to Diluc.
"At the same time, tell him that I don't want to be an undercover agent, that I have the ability to be like Diluc, and that I want to go to the Knights of Favonius to become a Knight of Favonius."
"But Simon's response was to lock me up for a month."
"At the same time, he also warned me not to do anything crooked, just do your job well."
"No, Lord Bishop, how can the Bishop be so partial." Eula muttered dissatisfied.
Even with the title of Simon, it is not so respectful.
"Hmph." Lin Feng snorted coldly: "Because I am an orphan who picked it up." ”
"And Diluc, whose surname is Lygunfender, is a descendant of the Knight of Dawn a thousand years ago."
"Is that the reason again?" Hearing this reason, Eula's face couldn't help but darken.
Because of Lawrence's surname, she was spurned from childhood to adulthood.
Also because of his surname, Diluc, who has the Vision of God, was after Lin Feng who did not have the Vision.
Lin Feng, who should have been valued by the Knights of Favonius, was imprisoned, while Diluc rose all the way to become the captain of the cavalry.
What is this called?
Lin Feng continued.
"Simon's attitude completely cut off my hope of becoming a Knight of Favonius."
"I didn't talk about it again."
"In the next four years, the people around me changed one after another."
"Although Daddy didn't say it, I knew that they were all sent to the Solstice."
"By the time I was fourteen years old, Diluc had become the youngest cavalry captain in the history of the Knights of Favonius, and I still hadn't gained the Vision, so I should have been sent to Solstice as agreed between Daddy and Simon."
"At this time, Daddy changed his mind."
"Because he firmly believes that even without the Vision, I will be the next Alan Delin, and he can be the Nightcrawler who he wants to protect Mondstadt."
"For this reason, he put everything into a quarrel with Simon, just thinking that one day he could fish me out of the dawn of dawn."
"And just like that, they were at a stalemate for a whole year."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng paused, and the expression on his face became more and more gloomy: "On my fifteenth birthday, my father was assigned by Falga to go to Inazuma on a mission. ”
"While he was away, the next day Simon Page couldn't wait to send me to the solstice and sent me to the [Fireplace House] where I died."
"......" After hearing this, Eula was in a heavy mood.
Is Lin Feng a genius?
Undoubtedly.
Without a Vision, he was able to easily defeat Diluc with a Vision.
Now he can fight against a top powerhouse like Falga.
Although he still lost in the end, it was difficult to find an opponent who could match him among his peers.
Such a genius, just because he was an orphan, because he didn't have a vision, because he didn't have the surname Ragenander, ended up being sent to a foreign land and became an undercover agent dancing on the line of death.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things."
Lin Feng smiled lightly: "Tomorrow, let's go and pay homage to my father." ”
"Hey, he's still so nagging, he can't say one thing once, he has to say it three times before he stops."
"yes, okay." Eula nodded obediently.
