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

In a small alley on the east side of Mondstadt.

The moonlight cast a cold glow over the narrow alley, which was damp and covered with weeds and vines, emitting a faint stench of decay.

Arya wrinkled her nose; she recognized the smell. She had lived in this place for the past thirteen years.

"Teacher, what are we doing here?"

"Seeing old friends."

"Another old friend? Teacher, you have so many friends."

"I have very few friends, but they are all generally reliable."

Arya looked up with a suspicious look in her eyes. "Really? I feel like everyone here is your friend."

Arya never questioned what Su Chen was going to do. She was very happy that Su Chen was taking her with him today, just like the last time they went out of the city. Being able to follow Su Chen was more joyful than anything else.

Walking through the dark streets and into the slums, the dilapidated buildings cast silhouettes near and far, the light flickering, and shadowy figures flashing by, issuing a warning.

"stop!"

Arya glanced at Su Chen, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she rushed out.

In no time, a scream was heard and the person blocking the road fainted.

"Teacher, there seems to be a passage here."

Arya discovered a passage beneath a broken wall covered in vines.

Such passageways are actually quite common, mostly found in the basements of poor people's homes or places to store things, but Arya knew this place and noticed something amiss.

Su Chen followed her inside, and soon they saw light coming from within. One figure after another rushed out to block Su Chen and Arya, the two uninvited guests, but without exception, they were all defeated by Arya.

Until one person fought Arya to a standstill, exchanging blows for a while, he distanced himself, his face full of vigilance.

"Who are you?"

"We are good people, we only beat up vicious dogs!"

Arya was full of fighting spirit; her opponent's strength had ignited her fighting will.

Although she didn't know where she was, the teacher didn't stop her from attacking, so it must be the villain's lair!

The teacher told her to be a hero walking in the darkness. Although Arya never thought of being a hero, she was ruthless in punishing evildoers.

With a burst of wind elemental power, Arya's speed increased dramatically in an instant.

The other party was shocked. The little girl had no martial ethics and attacked suddenly. He could only raise his sword to defend himself.

Ding ding ding ding! ——

The crisp sound of clashing weapons filled the entire basement, and people kept rushing over from afar, but after seeing the two fighting, they didn't dare to go any closer.

"not bad."

Su Chen looked at the other person with great interest.

He was a young man, not much older than him. Although he did not have the Eye of God, his swordsmanship was superb.

boom!

With a loud bang, Arya stumbled back to Su Chen's side.

The young man, holding his longsword, also took a few steps back. It was quite impressive that he could fight Arya to a standstill without the Eye of God.

Arya was unconvinced and wanted to continue charging forward, but Su Chen stopped her.

"Who is Roland to you?" Su Chen asked the young man.

The latter's expression hardened: "Who are you? How do you know Professor Roland's name?"

"He's your teacher. No wonder your swordsmanship is about 70-80% of what he was back then."

Su Chen understood. It seemed that although Roland was not in the Earth Fire, he was still keeping an eye on the situation there.

"What's your name? What's your position in the underground fire?"

The young man was confused.

Su Chen knew Roland and also knew about the Earth Fire.

Could it be someone the teacher knows?

In any case, he planned to control the situation first and wait for the judge to arrive.

Before he could give the order, Su Chen, who had sensed it in advance, took the initiative and rushed out instantly. Before the young man could react, the sword in Su Chen's hand was already in his hand.

"Alright, take me inside and have a seat." Su Chen smiled slightly. "By the way, you can send someone to inform that judge, and tell him that an old friend has come to see you."

Chapter 28 Su Chen: Rosalyn, long time no see! [Ninth update!]

"Has someone broken into the Earthfire stronghold?"

Inside the Goethe Hotel.

Upon receiving the message, the woman raised an eyebrow: "Not from the Knights?"

"Your Honor, I cannot tell; they are dressed in civilian clothes."

"How many people came?"

"Two, two..."

"A bunch of useless trash!" the woman roared. "Two people and you've been wiped out?"

The messenger trembled and said nervously, "As you instructed, most of the people in the stronghold have been dispersed and scattered throughout Mondstadt. Only Lord Elwin remains to guard the stronghold, but even Lord Elwin is no match for that guy."

"Elwin? He can't even handle that?"

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly.

Elwin was Roland's apprentice when he last returned to the Earthfire.

To prevent the lineage of Earthfire from being severed, Roland passed on the essence of his swordsmanship to Elwin, whose talent was also remarkable. Although he did not possess the Eye of God, his strength was still quite impressive.

With him around, there shouldn't be any problems.

"What did they look like? What did they say?" the woman asked, then waved her hand and said, "Never mind, I'll go over there."

If not a member of the Knights, then who could it be?

The woman snorted softly. Whoever dared to attack the earth fire, she would make them pay the price!

...

Moonlight is like water.

Inside the Earthfire stronghold.

Alvin looked at Su Chen, who was looking around, and was filled with doubt.

After arriving at the stronghold, the latter did not attack them, nor did he restrict their freedom. He simply took the girl for a stroll, letting her look around.

"Just who is this guy?"

Although he really wanted to order his men to capture Su Chen and Arya, given the current situation, Erwin felt that even if everyone went, they probably still wouldn't be able to win.

So let's wait for the Judge to arrive before we discuss anything further!

"You can't go into that room!"

Seeing Su Chen and Arya heading towards a secret room, Erwin immediately spoke up to stop them.

"Oh? Is there anything different here?" Su Chen asked, standing at the door.

It's not really a secret room. It's clearly controlled by mechanisms and doesn't require the injection of elemental power like in games. Ordinary people can open it.

However, there were people guarding outside just now, so it seems that the underground fire is a very important place.

“Since you know about subterranean fire, you should also know Lord Rustan, right?” Erwin said proudly. “This is Lord Rustan’s room!”

Su Chen was stunned.

When did I start living in such a shabby place?

"Isn't Rustan the Grand Master of the Knights? What does he have to do with you bunch of villains?"

"Hmph! Lord Rustan is indeed the Grand Master of the Knights, but he was also once a member of the Earthfire. If it weren't for Lord Rustan leading us to resist the beast tide, Mondstadt would have been conquered long ago!" Elwin said angrily. "It was those people in the Knights, those greedy nobles, who erased the Earthfire's contributions to Mondstadt and even sent people to annihilate us!"

"Did Roland tell you?"

"The teacher witnessed everything!"

"Yes, he has really worked hard all these years."

Su Chen nodded and pushed open the door to the secret room.

"You bastard!—"

Erwin tried to stop her, but Arya drew her dagger and blocked his way.

"If you dare lay a hand on the teacher again, I won't be polite." Arya's sharp gaze was like a sword.

"hateful!"

Erwin had no choice but to give up.

Once inside, Su Chen realized that the furnishings were the same as where he used to live in Earthfire. After creating Earthfire, he would sometimes stay there instead of returning to the Knights.

Who would have thought that a room that was casually arranged back then would become the 'faith' of the members of the Earth Fire group five hundred years later.

"What's there to care about in this shabby room?"

Su Chen shook his head helplessly.

"You are not allowed to insult Lord Rustan!" Erwin clenched his fist. "If you say such a thing again, I will kill you, even if it costs me my life!"

Arya said coldly, "I'll kill you first."

Su Chen chuckled, not paying any attention, and continued wandering around the room.

After a while, a sound came from outside the stronghold.

Su Chen said, "Arya, go outside and wait for me. Take this kid with you too."

"Good teacher."
