The Homeless Man of Teyvat

"A traveler from a foreign land?"

Chen Tianfeng sheathed the sword and rested his right hand on the handle with a calm expression: "I can't bear the name of [Traveler]. I'm just a bad bard at best."

"travelling poet?"

Sora was a little surprised, but also a little surprised.

Chen Tianfeng should have guessed something. That's right, he is not stupid. If he was really a stupid person, Fengshen and Yanshen would not have the same attitude as they do today, nor would they provide so much support, either covertly or obviously, and expect him to truly grow up.

Wendy even gave up her original plan for this.

In addition, if Chen Tianfeng is really an idiot, then he doesn't need to worry so much when he learns what Wendy did and when Chen Tianfeng appears next to Ying.

A fool, no matter how dangerous his nature is, is just another kind of chess piece.

We will take care of it.

Sora trusts this very much, just like Yin trusts him.

"Yes, bard. My friend is the best bard in the world. He has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and he has learned a lot. Although he is not excellent, he can be regarded as stepping into the door of bard. "

Chen Tianfeng nodded and glanced around, "His Royal Highness has brought me here so effortlessly, but what important matters do we need to discuss?"

"It's not hard work, bards are the hardest. If Brother Chen wants to step into that door, it's not enough to just have his ears and eyes wet. As for what's going on... we're not in a hurry for now."

Kong shook his head gently and waved his hand, and the surrounding darkness was dispersed by the soft light. A lush oak tree suddenly appeared like a big umbrella. There was a stone table and chairs under the umbrella, and a square wooden plate was placed on the table. The surface is blurry and cannot be seen clearly.

"Brother Chen, please."

Kong motioned for Chen Tianfeng to sit down and tapped the wooden plate with his finger: "Brother Chen, does he have a favorite chess skill?"

"How about Go?"

"Brother Chen, please tell me the rules."

"There is nothing wrong with it."

Chen Tianfeng carefully considered his words and explained the rules of Go as clearly and detailedly as possible.

Kong listened attentively and asked occasionally. It was not until Chen Tianfeng stopped talking that he smiled and sighed: "It turns out that this method of playing chess is called Go in Brother Chen's world. It is concise, clear, and extremely appropriate."

"His Royal Highness, has you ever come into contact with Go?"

Chen Tianfeng was a little curious.

"Well, my sister and I have traveled to many worlds together and learned this chess skill. But in that world, it was not called Go, but a long name that had nothing to do with chess."

Sora chuckled, as if there were memories in his eyes. He tapped his fingers on the wooden board again, and the blur on the wooden board quickly faded away, turning into a chessboard with nineteen interlaced lines vertically and horizontally, and three hundred and sixty-one intersections.

"The chess pieces there are not distinguished by black and white, but gold and purple."

He brushed his hand, and two boxes of golden and purple round chess pieces appeared on the chessboard: "Brother Chen, please choose."

Is this another kind of test... Chen Tianfeng glanced at the two boxes of chess pieces and said with a sincere expression: "This... to be honest, I am used to the clear feeling of black and white chess pieces. If the colors are changed, I am afraid that my chess strength will change. "

Kong's tone was calm: "Just get used to it. Brother Chen always has to do as the Romans do."

"Does His Highness the Prince also want to follow the local customs?"

"I've just followed the Romans."

"……Surprisingly."

"Choose, Brother Chen."

Kong looked at him, the smile in his eyes had long since dissipated: "People always have to make choices, just like a traveler will not always travel, he must always reach the end."

"That makes sense..."

Chen Tianfeng reached out and took the chess box filled with golden chess pieces. He raised his eyes and looked at the empty expression in his eyes. The corners of his lips suddenly raised: "But young people are always reluctant to listen to too many truths. They always want to try it out on their own. Give it a try.”

He covered the mouth of the box with his right hand, and gray-white flames spread, wrapping the entire chess box, quietly licking and burning it.

"Look, I have another choice, my own choice."

Chen Tianfeng let go of his hand, and the chess box and the golden chess pieces turned gray-white, with cracks on the surface. It seemed that it had been broken, but it was forced to remain intact under the pull of some kind of force.

"..."

Sora was silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand to take the remaining chess box. In the process, the color of the chess pieces quickly deepened, from pure purple to slightly black.

Kong picked up a black and purple chess piece and gently dropped it. Chen Tianfeng, holding a gray one, followed closely behind.

After a while, the chessboard was no longer empty, and the two colored chess pieces were anxiously looking for each other's weak spots, quietly dormant, and ready to bite.

"I thought Brother Chen would create a new chess game."

Konglai paused for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at his opponent: "It seems that I have such a deep misunderstanding of Brother Chen that I am biased."

"I have indeed had this idea: Think of a chess skill and make up a set of rules that are beneficial to you. If you play against others within the rules you set up, you will be in an invincible position."

Chen Tianfeng looked calm and said: "This is indeed very beautiful, but things that are too beautiful are always unreliable."

"Oh?" Kong raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If you are not a wise person, the rules made in a hurry are bound to be full of loopholes. Not only will you not be able to make a profit, you will even suffer from them." Chen Tianfeng said, "I think I am not a wise person, and I am incapable of putting it into practice." This beautiful idea turned out to be really beautiful.”

"In my opinion, if Brother Chen has this understanding, he is already a wise man."

Kong held the chess piece, thought for a few seconds, and then dropped it: "What does Brother Chen think of the world of Teyvat?"

Chen Tianfeng picked up a piece, dropped it somewhere on the chessboard, and said without raising his head: "It's messy."

"Messy?"

"Yes, sometimes I even feel that Teyvat is not a complete world, but is made up of several incomplete worlds."

"Oh?" Kong became interested and rubbed the chess piece in his hand, "Why do you see that?"

"Among the Seven Kingdoms of Teyvat, apart from the similarities between Dao Wife and Liyue, the technology and humanities of each country are significantly different." Chen Tianfeng waited for a few seconds, but still found no trace, and raised his head in confusion.

"I also had this feeling when I first came to Teyvat." Kong's expression remained unchanged. After thinking twice, he dropped the chess piece: "It's as if the countries are isolated from each other, and there is no or little communication with each other."

"It sounds like His Highness the Prince doesn't feel that way now."

Chen Tianfeng hesitated: "Did you find the reason?"

"...No, I just don't think it's important."

Kong looked at the small piece of chessboard that had been left vacant, his face slightly stiff, he held the chess piece and dropped it with difficulty: "There are many wonderful worlds in the sea of ​​stars, and Teyvat is one of them."

"I see."

Chen Tianfeng nodded slightly, glanced at Kong Kong's expression, and there was a hint of pleasure at the corner of his lips.

Hehe, a dishdog.
