Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm quite familiar with the leader here."

"The friend you mentioned..."

"Yes, he's the leader here."

"Is that so..."

Qin was still a little uneasy, so she gripped the hilt of the sword with her right hand but did not draw it.

Although she trusted Su Chen, she was really worried about this place.

Deep inside the stronghold, Jean met Elwin.

She remembered that the other person was the leader of the Earth Fire.

Qin glanced at Su Chen with some surprise.

I asked you to help me make a contact, and you went straight to their boss? You're really something.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Alright, my task is complete. You two can chat now... Oh, by the way, Qin, if you want to know more about Rustan, you can ask him to take you to the secret chamber."

Alvin glanced at Su Chen, who had already told him about the zither.

Although, from a personal subjective point of view, Erwin did not have a good impression of the Knights.

But since it concerns the future development of the Earthfire, cooperating with the Knights of the Crusade to jointly protect Mondstadt was Rustan's original intention.

Where there is light, there is always a dark side.

That is where the subterranean fire goes.

...

Shortly after, Su Chen left the Earthfire stronghold and returned to his residence.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, Arya was waiting at the door.

Upon seeing him return, they hurriedly ran to greet him.

“Teacher, Miss Rosalyn is here,” Arya whispered. “She looks very anxious.”

"I see."

Su Chen nodded.

Upon entering the house, the lady was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of tea, but she had no interest in drinking it at all.

Ever since she emptied the Heart of God last time, the lady has been feeling terrible.

How could it not be?

how come? ? ?

However, the heart of God is not with Wendy.

No matter how much she threatened her, Wendy wouldn't talk, and she didn't have any good solutions.

After much deliberation, the woman realized that Wendy must have secretly given the Heart of God to Firefly.

After all, Luminous's situation is quite special. She can use elemental power without a Vision and even solve the dragon scourge, which clearly indicates that she has some special relationship with Venti. Perhaps she is hiding a big secret.

But more likely, this irresponsible wind god has long since lost the Heart of God over the course of a thousand years, perhaps even exchanging it for wine.

So the woman became emo.

Without obtaining the Heart of God, she cannot complete the task given to her by the Queen.

Originally, the lady did not want to trouble Su Chen, but she had tried every means to investigate over the past two days and still could not find the Heart of God.

Then the lady thought that if she couldn't get the Heart of God, other executives might be sent from the Kingdom of Winter. If they found out about her relationship with Su Chen, the latter would be dragged into unnecessary trouble.

Facing the crisis of an executive officer alone!

Therefore, the lady had no choice but to come to Su Chen to explain the situation.

"Russtan!"

The woman stood up.

"It's troublesome."

"Don't worry, the sky isn't falling." Su Chen gestured for him to sit down.

The woman sat down again and patiently recounted what had happened.

I had a heart-to-heart talk with Wendy, but I didn't get the Heart of God. What should I do?

"...Russtan, you should have heard that Wendy is Barbatos, right? He's been secretly using the Travelers to deal with the dragon plague until recently when he revealed his identity. I secretly followed them, and then... um?"

The woman's gaze fell on the coffee table.

Staring blankly, Su Chen pulled out something that looked like a chess piece from his pocket.

"Heart of God?"

She had heard the Queen describe it, so she knew, but...

The woman looked up at Su Chen again, who gave her a look that said, "Are you talking about this thing?" leaving her momentarily at a loss for words.

“Wendy gave it to me before,” Su Chen smiled slightly. “I only found out later that it was the Heart of God.”

"Ah, I see, but... why would he give it to you?!"

The woman was stunned.

She went through all sorts of hardships to steal the Heart of God, but that old devil Barbatos just handed it over to Rustan?!

"I don't know, he didn't say, and I'm too lazy to ask. Maybe it's the membership fee for joining the Earth Fire. Haha~ Anyway, I'll keep it; it might save my life in a pinch." Su Chen shrugged. "Something is better than nothing, right?"

Miss:"..."

She really wanted to say, Rustan, this is the heart of God, not the heart of a shrimp or a pig.

“You should have told me sooner,” the woman said, somewhat disgruntled. “So I wouldn’t have been running around like an idiot and getting played for a fool by that Barbatos guy again.”

"Ha~ I'm really sorry, I just didn't want the situation to deviate from the plan. Anyway, you taught him a lesson, so I'll just consider it as venting my anger."

Su Chen originally intended to talk to the lady about it.

But later he gave up.

On the one hand, he did not intend to change the original plot development, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Secondly, since Wendy wasn't going to say anything, proving that the old drunkard knew what was going on, then Su Chen didn't need to do anything unnecessary.

As for being tricked by the lady in the end, maybe Barbatos is a masochist and just wanted to do that.

That's far from enough.

The woman snorted. If she had known that all of this was Wendy's plan, she should have given her a good beating back then. Otherwise, the resentment that had accumulated over five hundred years wouldn't have dissipated so easily.

However, from another perspective, since Wendy took the initiative to hand over the Heart of God to Su Chen, it proves that the former knew about Su Chen's situation and recognized his will.

Thinking about this, the woman was puzzled: "What exactly does Barbatos want to do? Does he want you to become the god of wind?"

"Well... we'll talk about that later. You should know that obtaining the Heart of God doesn't automatically make you one of the Seven Gods. At least for ordinary people, the Heart of God isn't a key to instant success."

Wind God?

Su Chen hadn't thought of that.

And judging from Wendy's expression, she probably didn't intend to... right?

As for what to do with the Heart of God, perhaps Venti hasn't thought it through. If he were to hand the Heart of God over to Cryo, it would be tantamount to tacitly approving the latter's will to defy the laws of nature.

Although Su Chen had played games, he had never understood the thoughts of those gods.

Wendy and Chung Li both surrendered their divine hearts. Is this a sign that they are preparing to rebel against the laws of nature?

They should know what the consequences would be if the Ice God failed.

The positions of the seven gods may be reshuffled, and even the people of the seven kingdoms will suffer.

Judging solely from Zhongli's will to protect his people, it's unlikely he would take such a great risk.

Or, what unsolved mysteries are there in this?

Su Chen really wanted to ask the scriptwriter of mhy whether he knew about it or not. If it was just for the sake of the plot, then that was another matter. After all, if he only cared about the 'smoothness' of the plot, he could just make up any reason at the end.

A pit? Just dig it out, fill it in, and even if it doesn't look very nice, it's not a big deal.

However, Su Chen had to consider that if another war broke out on the continent of Teyvat, and this war involved both gods and the laws of nature, he had to decide when to start the war before he had the ability to protect himself—if it was truly unavoidable.

In other words, as long as the Heart of the Wind God is in his possession, the Ice God will not easily start a war.

The heart of God need not be many, one is enough.

As for why it's wind, it's simple: Wendy just gives it to him, which is obviously much easier than asking the old man next door for it.

Oh right, the cooks on the other side of the ocean don't seem to care about this stuff either.

"So Rustan, you intend to keep the Heart of God?" The woman's eyes flickered slightly.

The Queen's mission was to have her seize the Heart of God.

But if Su Chen wanted it... it seemed there was nothing to hesitate about.

"I can help you!"

“No, Rosalyn, you’ve misunderstood me.” Su Chen chuckled. “I have no intention of fighting for this thing… In short, this one is enough. I’ll tell you why when I have the chance.”

“No explanation is needed, I believe you,” the woman said without hesitation. “I know, Rustan, you must have your reasons for doing this.”

Rosalyn had long ago decided that everything she had would be dedicated to the one she loved most!

"Thank you... Oh, by the way, I'm going to Liyue tomorrow. As Mondstadt's diplomatic envoy, you know the Liyue Ascension Ceremony is coming up soon, it's a normal procedure," Su Chen said.

"I know."

"What other plans do you have here?"

“I…” The woman shook her head. “The mission failed. I must explain the situation to the Kingdom of Winter and await further instructions… Rustan, should I leave the Fatui? That way I can follow you and help you accomplish more. The subterranean fires in Mondstadt have been contained, but things might not be so easy in Sumeru.”

“Don’t worry, Rosalyn,” Su Chen chuckled. “Your temporary stay with the Fools will be of greater help to me.”

"Is this so..."

The lady nodded.
