Tewat's Me Undercover in Solstice Winter

"This Tanit tribe is very generous."

In the tent specially arranged by Babel, Yora couldn't help laughing while eating fresh fruit.

What she just said was not a joke.

but true.

In order to entertain Lin Feng and the others.

The Tanit tribe not only sent abundant food including fresh fruits, but also sent enough water for bathing.

You must know that whether it is fruits or clean drinking water, they are extremely valuable resources in the desert.

Lin Feng and the others had also passed by some hospitable tribes before.

But even if those people had no ill intentions and were even willing to trade with Lin Feng after seeing the salt, they never provided drinking water.

This further proves the importance the Tanit tribe attaches to this deal.

However, Lin Feng had some different opinions on this: "Generous? Oh, it's not for the sake of the fertile soil."

"Fertile soil? What on earth is this?"

Hearing the name again, Yura asked curiously.

She could see clearly the change in Babel's attitude just now.

The mistress, who had always remained calm and composed, had a very obvious change in her face after hearing the formula of Fertile Soil.

It seems like this should be something very important.

At least it is something very important to the Tanit tribe.

Kelai, who was also eating fruit, also pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Lin Feng and Youla's conversation.

this way.

She learned a lot from Lin Feng.

The most important one is how to identify a person's true attitude towards you, whether it is good or evil. Some clues can be seen in a few short sentences.

Although this is a bit too early for Ke Lai now, in Lin Feng's words, it will be very useful to Ke Lai in the future, and there is no harm in learning it early.

At this moment, Lin Feng began to test her academic performance.

"Ke Lai, first of all, what do you think of this mistress's attitude?"

"Well, she doesn't seem like a nice person."

"anything else?"

"She uh."

Kelai hesitated for a long time and said nothing more.

In her opinion.

This woman named Babel actually speaks impeccably, in a very official and formal way of speaking.

Kelai only felt that Babel had ulterior motives for having such a good attitude based on instinct and the stereotype of desert people.

Especially when you just left the tent.

Babel made it clear that she would send a few falcons to accompany her to bed, completely ignoring Youla who was beside Lin Feng.

This kind of thing further deepened Cole's bad impression of Babel.

"It seems that it is still difficult for you to see through people like Babel."

Lin Feng was not dismayed by Ke Lai's intention, but continued to teach: "When looking at a person, you should not only look at her words, manners, but also her environment and status."

He pointed out: "Have you carefully observed the differences in the Tanit tribe along the way?"

Kelai thought for a while and replied: "They farm, read books, and raise animals."

"Then what can you tell from these places?"

"Well, are they rich?"

"anything else?"

"Are they very strong?"

"Anymore?"

"."

Collet couldn't speak.

In response, Lin Feng just smiled lightly and said: "When an alternative appears in a place and can develop stably, it means that this alternative is very strong. So why is this alternative so strong?"

"There is only one answer."

"They have a leader who is very powerful and skillful, a leader who can make the right decisions and make the entire tribe have no objections."

"So even without meeting Babel, I already know that she is a scheming and tough woman."

Kelai nodded thoughtfully, then frowned and thought about whether he had overlooked anything before.

However, Lin Feng did not ask any more questions this time, and said to himself: "Books are strictly prohibited from being transported to desert areas by the Ecclesiarchy, but in Tanit, every child has a book to read."

"Their businessman named Adelphi, I wonder if you have noticed him in his tent."

"A lot of books."

"I just took a casual look and saw things like linguistics, philosophy, art, and even many collections of academic papers from the Order Academy."

"What does this mean?"

"This shows that Babel is a desperado who completely ignores the law. She doesn't care about the decrees of the Holy Council. From the fact that she forces the people in the tribe to read and study, she knows very well what is the source of the shackles of the desert people. She is also very clear that cultural knowledge is the way out, which shows that she is a very rational and far-sighted leader.”

"When she was discussing the deal with me just now, the tribesmen who came out with her didn't express much opinion, but Babel didn't make a decision on her own. She gave them time, not her. Time to think about it.”

"This shows that she is not the only one who has the final say in the Tanit tribe. But judging from this woman's ambition and ability, huh, those old guys probably won't live long."

Lin Feng finished speaking.

Not only Ke Lai was confused, but Youla couldn't help but twitching the corner of her mouth.

Being able to see so much from such a trivial matter, can you say that he is worthy of being an intelligence professional? This kind of vision and insight are really not the abilities that ordinary people have.

Then she thought of something: "According to what you said, doesn't that woman also have thoughts about us now?"

"if not?"

Lin Feng said matter-of-factly: "She's not blind. When she saw you and Kelai here, she still insisted on giving me a few Falcons. Wasn't she just trying to test our relationship and my attitude?"

Speaking of it.

Youla thought of Lin Feng's righteous rejection of Falcon before, and the corner of her mouth curled up: "Unfortunately, her scheming was in the wrong place."

"It can only be said to be a matter of vision."

Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders: "This woman has grown up in the desert her whole life. Everything she has seen and done all happened in this deformed place in the desert."

"To give you a simple example, even if you were looked down upon in Mondstadt since childhood, what you saw in your eyes was the peaceful and stable city of Mondstadt. Even if you later joined the Knights of the West Wind, the people you got along with were all worthy of the title. A member of the Knights who are the mainstay of the country, and even Falgar, the leader of Mondstadt.”

"So you will set your challenge target and the object of your pursuit on Falga, the strongest man in Mondstadt, instead of the senior Frederica or the rising star Diluc."

"And Babel's vision is limited to this small area of ​​​​Sumiru Desert."

"Sumiru is not like other countries. They have no gods to rule the world, and no strong men above the demon gods. They only rely on the legacy left by their ancestors and their status as the guardians of the World Tree to support their current status in Teyvat."

"So in Babel's world, Teyvat may only be as big as Sumeru. Based on her ears and eyes, the Gale Disciplinary Officer may be the most terrifying person in the world. As long as he doesn't expose his behavior and provoke others, If you are a disciplinarian, Tanit will live forever.”

“This is the narrowness that comes with knowledge and vision.”

"Ke Lai, did you hear that? Don't limit yourself to a small Sumeru. When your magic scale disease is cured, you must go out more and expand your knowledge."

Ke Lai was listening with interest when she suddenly heard Lin Feng mention her name. After being stunned for a moment, she said seriously: "Yes, Master Lin Feng."

This was the title that Lin Feng had weighed for a long time.

Otherwise, it would be wrong for Kelai to call him uncle, and it would be even more awkward for him to call him eldest brother. After thinking about it, he was teaching her swordsmanship now, so he might as well let Kelai call him master.

At this time, Youla interjected dissatisfiedly: "After talking for a long time, what exactly is fertile soil? You haven't said it yet."

"Oh, that one."

Lin Feng scratched his head and said with a smile: "That thing is used for farming."

"For farming?"

"Well, it was developed by the Imperial Academy and can be used to fertilize fields and increase grain production, but the formula of this thing is strictly prohibited from being disclosed by the Imperial Academy."

"The Tanit tribe is farming, so they need this thing. But because they don't have the formula, they can only buy it from the Order at a high price."

"Yes, that's it."

Lin Feng said confidently: "With the formula for this thing, Babel will definitely agree to my request."

They said it would take three days to discuss.

But Babel responded quickly.

They agreed in principle to Lin Feng's conditions, but they had one more request.

That is, they are going to meet Dolly.

"For such a big matter, our Tanit tribe still hopes to have an interview with Mr. Sange Mahabhai in person."

These are Babel's original words.

in other words.

That is, their Tanit tribe did not quite believe in the identity of Lin Feng's messenger. Even though Lin Feng showed Dolly's personal seal, for the sake of caution, they still wanted to contact Dolly Sangge, the leader of Dolly's business group. Mahabhai Sahib personally negotiated the deal.

In this regard, Lin Feng's answer is even simpler.

"Believe it or not, Master Sangge Mahabhai is very busy. How can he have time to come here to discuss matters with a small desert tribe like you?"

This sentence directly choked back everything Babel wanted to say.

Then he watched with confusion as Lin Feng and Ura Kelai really left the tribe.

"I believe that the Afia tribe will be happy to make a deal with us."

These were the words Lin Feng left behind before he left.

"What are you still doing!"

"Chase!"

"Bring them back!"

The furious Babel looked at the group of idiots under her who were in a daze and suddenly became furious.

Why did this person really leave!

Didn’t I just say that I wanted to meet with Master Sange Mahabhai to confirm the authenticity of the transaction?

And even if you don't agree, just say something. I have other ways to determine the authenticity. As for why you are so angry!

That’s twenty years of salt! There is also a recipe for fertile soil!

If the Afiya tribe gets so many things, then there will still be a way for the Tanit tribe to survive in this desert!

Just when all members of the Tanit tribe went out to find people.

Lin Feng took Youla to find a small oasis and rested.

"Aren't you going to negotiate a deal with the Tanit tribe? Why did you just leave?"

Yula was still confused.

Babel sent someone to deliver the message this morning, and Lin Feng responded directly.

After that, he immediately called Kelai, who was still practicing swordsmanship, and the three of them left the Tanit tribe as quickly as possible.

Moreover, Lin Feng also wiped out all their traces, ensuring that the Tanit tribe would not find them so quickly.

This confused Yura.

Why did Lin Feng do this?

"The reason is simply that I am not prepared to honor the treaty."

Lin Feng gave an explanation: "I only need the Tanit tribe to help me for a year or two at most, and I may not even need it for a year. Why should I give them so many things."

"Then there's no need to leave."

"You don't understand this. This is called playing hard to get."

"Hard to play?"

"Yes, the Tanit tribe now wants to see my sincerity, but I don't want to give them my sincerity. What do you think I should do?"

Youla understood somewhat: "Give them an expectation, give them a threat, and then give them a bottom line. When they find us again, they won't be able to make any demands. They can only agree to whatever you say." .”

"Well, that's it."

Lin Feng chuckled and flipped the roasted crocodile in his hand.

He took this thing out from the Tanit tribe.

speak up.

In addition to farming, the Tanit tribe is most famous for raising crocodiles.

Crocodile items are very popular in the rainforest area.

Crocodile skin is a precious material for clothing. Crocodile jerky, which is easy to preserve and very delicious, is the most popular ingredient among mercenaries. Crocodile offal is processed into various feeds and used to feed other livestock. Crocodile bones, according to the research of the Kyoryoin Seiron School, can cure some bone diseases, so they are purchased in large quantities every year to make medicinal materials.

It is also an extremely important source of income for the Tanit tribe.

Forced reading, reclaiming wasteland, feeding crocodiles in large quantities and perfecting a production line of crocodile materials.

Whenever he saw these differences in Tanit, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh: "This Babel is indeed a talent. If she hadn't been born in a ghost place like the Sumeru Desert, she would have the qualifications to be a hero."

"Tsk, tsk." Youla just clicked her tongue at this comment and didn't express any opinion on it. She just asked, "Are we going to wait here for them to come?"

"Let's go to the Afia tribe."

"Ah, I really want to go."

"Yes, I gave them the warning. If I didn't go, wouldn't it look very embarrassing?"

"But do you know where Afia's tribe is?"

"I don't know, I'll ask as we walk."

"." Youla rolled her eyes at him and said helplessly: "It's a shame you figured it out."

"There is no other way. If you want them to do things honestly, you have to do this." Lin Feng spread his hands and looked particularly innocent: "The Tanit tribe is not as good as the gang in Aru Village. I can't force them to do well by using force. They are doing things, so I can only coax and deceive them with benefits to make them work willingly."

"You're good to know."

Youla didn't care how Lin Feng used the Tanit tribe, as long as what he was doing now was still in his plan.

Sandstorms in the desert are always so unpredictable.

While Lin Feng and the others were enjoying a feast of roasted crocodile jerky, the sandstorm blew up again.

Fortunately, the place where they were staying at this time was a small oasis. Even staying in the stone house built by Lin Feng with rock elements would not be too boring.

Take advantage of the sandstorm.

Yula took Kelai to continue studying "The Encyclopedia of Teyvat Literacy".

Look at Ke Lai who is studying writing there seriously.

do not know why.

Lin Feng suddenly thought of the awkward feeling he felt learning Teyvat writing when he first came to this world.

At that time, he was used to writing the simplified Chinese characters of his hometown.

Compared with this kind of simple, easy-to-understand and profound text, Teyvat's text seems relatively monotonous, and the writing of individual characters is very complicated.

Such boring things bored Lin Feng, who was only a few years old at the time. He would rather practice swordplay with a big sword than learn it. It was Coulson who forced him to do it, and this prevented him from becoming an illiterate person. of illiteracy.

"Oh, cause and effect rotate."

Lin Feng used ice elements to build a recliner for himself. He lay on it with a gloating expression and watched Ke Lai frowning and learning to write.

The elemental power of ice is different from that of naturally formed ice.

Even in the hot desert, this ice lounge chair showed no signs of melting. Instead, it added a touch of coolness to the stone house without any of the unbearable heat outside.

But the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere was quickly broken.

A man's voice rang outside the stone house: "Captain, look, there is actually a house in this oasis."

What followed was a burst of joyful sounds.

"Finally a place to rest."

"Oasis, house, haha, great place."

"I really wish there was some food here. This damn sandstorm is full of those bastards from the abyss. Bah, bah, bah, sand got into my mouth."

"Okay, okay, please be quiet. If this house already has an owner, wouldn't you be scared?"

The voice that spoke last was that of a woman.

Lin Feng tilted his head, it sounded familiar.

Youla and Kelai also heard the noisy noise outside, put down their pens and papers, and looked up at Lin Feng.

"He's an acquaintance. I haven't seen him for a long time. I didn't expect to meet him here."

Lin Feng also sat up straight and looked in the direction of the sound.

I heard the people outside were quiet for a while and then started shouting again.

"Captain, there is no door."

"Yeah, how did you get out of this doorless house?"

"No, it's an elemental creation. This may be a trap for monsters. Everyone is on alert!!!"

As the woman known as the captain spoke again, the sound of pulling the bolt and waving weapons could be heard immediately.

These soldiers, who were obviously fools, were just on their guard.

I saw that the airtight stone house suddenly opened a door automatically.

Then, there was a lazy voice: "Zoya, what's wrong? Do you want to shoot me as soon as we meet?"

Zoya?

The woman called Captain by the soldiers was stunned for a moment.

And this voice.

Her eyes suddenly widened and she shouted happily: "Brother Troy, is that you?"

"Come in and talk while the others stay outside."

Hear this.

Immediately, a loyal soldier came forward and asked: "Captain, is there someone you know here? Is he safe? Is he reliable?"

"Don't worry, Brother Troy is my relative. There is no one safer than him. Listen to Brother Troy, just wait here. With Brother Troy here, it is absolutely safe here, and no monsters will intrude on us anymore." ”

Zoya was very excited. After giving a series of orders, she got into the stone house.

And the door that was open just now was immediately tightly sealed again after she entered.

The soldiers who stayed outside looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "Listen to the captain."

Inside the stone house.

Yola and Kelai also saw Zoya's true appearance.

This is a very young girl. She does not look as old as Lin Feng. She has an ordinary appearance. There are some freckles on her face. She is wearing a winter military uniform. Listening to the words of those foolish soldiers, At this age, she has already reached the rank of captain, and she is indeed an extraordinary talent.

"Brother Troy, it's really you!"

Zoya ignored Yula and Kelai, who were constantly looking at her, and rushed towards Lin Feng with a look of surprise on her face.

After a brief hug.

Zoya immediately blushed and left.

After eating sand in this uninhabited desert for a long time, she unexpectedly saw a friend who could be called a relative, and she lost her temper for a moment.

Then she looked at Youla and Kelai and asked curiously: "Are these my sister-in-law and my eldest niece?"

"Sister-in-law is right, niece is wrong, that one is my disciple."

"Huh? Brother Troy, are you accepting a disciple?"

Zoya said in surprise.

The fact that Troy Shenetzovich became a member of the Queen's family was widely spread among the fools. Being able to become his disciple means that this little green-haired girl will be the disciple of Her Majesty the Queen in the future.

Incredible, incredible.

Zoya immediately stood up straight, beat her chest with her right hand according to the rules of the solstice, and said: "Zoya Schneetsvich, I have met my sister-in-law and, and this one, um."

"Hello."

Yola and Kelai interrupted her words that she couldn't say after hesitating for a long time, and smiled at her in unison.

"Okay, Kelai continues to study, Zoya, come here, I have something to ask you."

Lin Feng gave an order to Ke Lai, and then with a wave of his hand, an ice chair rose up from the ground, facing his recliner.

Zoya didn't show any surprise at this. After greeting Ura Kelai again, she sat on it without any image, and then said with a comfortable look on her face: "Ah~~~~~I finally feel comfortable. , this damn desert is almost scorching to death.”

“Zoya, why are you here?”

Lin Feng asked first.

The full name of the girl in front of me is Zoya Shnetsvna.

Just by hearing the name, you can tell that she is also an orphan from [Hearth House].

Coincidentally, she and Lin Feng were selected into the Fools in the same class.

Lin Feng, who is powerful and has made rapid progress, is a legendary figure in [Hearth House]. Zoya, who is in the same class as him, is naturally Lin Feng's little crush.

Earlier when Lin Feng was still working for the Fools, the two of them had gone on two missions together.

At that time, Zoya was not the captain of the Fools. As a newbie, she always made mistakes during the mission. If Lin Feng hadn't been wiping her behind, their mission would not have been completed smoothly.

It was exactly this experience.

Zoya's admiration for Lin Feng was as continuous as a torrential river.

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Zoya immediately sat up straight, as she did when she was still training at [Hearth House], and reported seriously: "According to Lord Arecino's order, I came to the desert to find the eternal oasis."

"Eternal Oasis? Hehe, it seems that you have dealt with people from the Tanit tribe."

"Yes, Brother Troy, with our help, Babel, the elder of the Tanit tribe, has successfully seized power and became the new matron."

"That's it, what about now? Why did you come to the desert to eat sand again?"

"Oh, don't mention it. After that woman came to power, as agreed, we gave their tribe a lot of material and technical support. The woman also gave us clues to the Eternal Oasis, but the Eternal Oasis is not so easy to find. We are here A group of people wandered around the desert for several months, but found nothing. They could only battle wits and courage with those monsters in the desert every day."

Zoya showed a little helplessness on her face.

In this sky full of yellow sand, it is really difficult for strangers like them to find such a relic of a god.

"If you can't find it, don't look for it. Just file a report."

Lin Feng was very open-minded about this.

Because he was like this before, he would just skip the troublesome tasks. He would make a report, Arlecino would approve the note, and call it a day.

In this regard.

Zoya could only smile bitterly and said: "Brother Troy, do you think everyone has the same privileges as you? Those of us who cannot complete Lord Arecino's mission are absolutely not allowed to leave our posts without permission."

"Tsk, you can write a report later and I'll sign it. Arecino won't say anything."

"what?"

Zoya's eyelids twitched.

She had heard before that Troy Shenetsvich and Lord Arecino had fallen out, and now it seemed that it was true.

Lin Feng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "Well, it's not safe for you to go back like this. Forget it, I'll write another letter to Arecino. From today on, your team will belong to the [-]th Execution Now that Dardalia is in charge, you will go to Liyue to work at the Northland Bank, with Dardalia's protection, so that even if Arlecino gets angry, he won't be able to cause trouble for you."

"."

Zoya didn't know what to say.

Is poaching so casual?

only.

She went to work at the Beiguo Bank in Liyue. Although she basically had no chance to return home, she was originally an orphan. Where did she have a home? Staying in Liyue seemed to be a good choice.

that's it.

In Zoya's silence, Lin Feng quickly took out a piece of paper and wrote two letters. After leaving a mark that belonged exclusively to the Queen's family, he handed the two pieces of paper to Zoya.

"Okay, use the magic mechanism to send him back, and then you can go to Liyue to report. When you see Dardalia, tell him that I asked you to go, and he won't say anything."

Zoya took the two letters in silence, carefully folded them and put them away, and said with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, Brother Troy, I asked you to clean up my mess again."

"Hey, this is nothing, it's just a little effort." Lin Feng smiled easily.

Hearing the exact same words as when she comforted herself back then, Zoya felt like tears were about to well up.

Lin Feng didn't give her any time to feel sad, and then asked: "By the way, have you all sent some supplies to the Tanit tribe?"

"Books, fertilizer, feed, seeds, planting technology, mechanism technology, weapon forging technology." Zoya counted on her fingers for a long time, then scratched her head and said: "Hey, there is something else, I can't remember it. A lot anyway.”

"I gave you a lot of good things."

"Isn't it? I don't know why Lord Arecino would be so generous in such a poor place."

"So, since Babel is the mistress, you have also contributed a lot?"

"Well, we helped her assassinate several elders, and then that woman rose to power by her own means. Hey, this woman's mistress is not ordinary. With a sudden move, even my evil eye is no match for her."

"mistress?"

"What's his name? Asarigue. He doesn't have the Eye of God, but he is very skilled in martial arts. He also used our skills to get that woman to get him an elemental weapon privately. This guy was very helpful when killing the tribe elders."

"It's interesting, but I think there are still a few elders in the Tanit tribe."

"Eh? Brother Troy, you also went to the Tanit tribe?"

"I just went to play for a while."

"That's fine. Don't get too involved with them. There are no good people there."

"I know."

"By the way, what you just said was actually because we killed all the elders who were against that woman. There are seven or eight elders in the Tanit tribe. Not all of them were against that woman, several of them supported her. Yes, and after this woman came to power, she promoted some tribesmen who originally supported her as new elders, so Brother Troy, you can still see a few elders in the tribe."

"That's right, it's pretty much what I thought."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and then asked: "Then do you have any clues about finding the Eternal Oasis?"

The reason why I ask this question.

It was because Lin Feng suddenly thought that the Eternal Oasis was said to be the burial place of the Goddess of Flowers. He wondered if there was any power of the gods that could be revealed there.

When it comes to this.

Zoya angrily cursed in Zhidong's curse words: "That damn woman, I think she must have given us false information. Otherwise, why would we have been searching for so long and couldn't find even a single clue?"

"Well, you're right to think so. Babel is full of lies. She probably used you to help her kill an elder and defrauded her of some supplies and technology. Now she and Asalige have completely integrated Tani. With the power of the special tribe, you can't do anything to her in terms of force, so you can only let yourself suffer this miserable loss."

Lin Feng analyzed calmly.

The more he spoke, the more angry Zoya's face became.

"Hu-hu-"

"No, I can't swallow this breath. Brother Troy, you happen to be here. You must help me vent my bad breath!!!"

The relationship between Zoya and Lin Feng is pretty good, and they don't speak with the kind of awe between superiors and subordinates. Instead, they are more like a younger sister acting coquettishly towards her elder brother.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I happened to be cheating on them recently. How about it, Zoya, do you want to join the gang?"

"But before that, we have to get these little brothers like you away. You can just follow us alone."

Lin Feng laughed.

He was already thinking about how to deal with Babel, and Zoya came at the right time.

When she heard that Lin Feng was really planning to harm the Tanit tribe, Zoya immediately became energetic and agreed: "No problem, Brother Troy, hehe, to tell you the truth, if I couldn't defeat him, I would have gone there long ago. Destroy them!"

.
