Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

Chapter 264 Diluc's Past!

The profit margin of the "miracle wine" may be substantial, but in the end, it's just a few molars.

For Diluc, Mora was already just a number. Even if it came at a huge cost, he wouldn't hesitate to acquire this priceless treasure if given the chance.

"Grandpa Lu, don't worry, there's a second compensation."

Lin Yu continued.

"A second form of compensation?"

"Indeed, you must know that I have the ability to foresee the future, so through this ability I learned some things about you, including the details of your father's death."

"What!?"

Diluc's expression changed drastically; this was the first time his expression had changed so much since he started talking to Lin Yu.

Seeing Diluc's drastic change in expression, Lin Yu was not surprised. After all, the death of Diluc's father had a great impact on Diluc, and even now, he was still investigating the truth of what happened back then.

However, the most crucial truth has not been uncovered for several years, so it is naturally difficult to remain indifferent upon hearing relevant information now.

"Lin Yu, please tell me the truth about my father's death."

Diluc earnestly requested.

"No problem, this is my compensation."

Diluc took a deep breath and began to listen to Lin Yu's story.

"This matter must be addressed to the Dr., the executor of the Fools."

"The Doctor is the second-in-command of the Fools, and is very powerful. He was once a scholar in the Order of the Church, but was expelled for conducting forbidden research."

"This person was extremely arrogant, believing himself to be the smartest person in the world. He enjoyed conducting all sorts of cruel experiments and did not care about human life. As a result, countless people were harmed by the doctor."

"You should know about the Evil Eye. This is the product of the Doctor's research. It is an imitation of the Eye of God, which forces people to drive elemental power, but the side effects are extremely severe. Those who use the Evil Eye basically never have a good ending."

"The truth about your father's death is actually quite simple. After the doctor developed the Evil Eye, he needed test subjects and happened to choose your father. Then, on that day, he attracted monsters and forced your father to use the Evil Eye for the experiment."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Diluc remained silent with his head down.

The truth was simpler yet more cruel than he imagined.

He had been investigating the truth for so long, always believing that his father's death was some kind of conspiracy carried out by the Fatui, but he never expected it to be just a trivial experiment by the Doctor. But it was precisely because of this that Diluc was even more furious.

"Grandpa Lu, the Doctor is the second-in-command of the Fools, and his strength is extremely powerful, possibly comparable to a demon god. Even if you want revenge, don't act impulsively."

Lin Yu offered his advice.

Although Diluc isn't an impulsive person right now, it's hard to say, since it's his father's revenge. That's why Lin Yu spoke up to persuade him, to prevent Diluc from acting impulsively and going to find the Doctor.

Diluc is indeed pitiful. As the holder of the Fire-type Vision, he should be a lively and cheerful person, and Diluc was indeed like that when he was young. But the Doctor was a beast who was inhuman and caused Diluc to suffer such a huge blow, which eventually changed his personality and made him an anomaly among the Fire types.

"I won't act impulsively... Lin Yu, I want to know information about the Doctor. Name your price."

Diluc finally spoke, his tone filled with suppressed anger, but the fact that he could suppress it suggested that he wouldn't act impulsively.

"No problem, as for the price... that's negotiable."

Lin Yu readily shared the information he knew about the Doctor with Diluc.

Diluc may not be as strong as the Doctor, but he wields considerable power. Knowing the Doctor's information, he can quietly cause trouble for the Doctor.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't do it for the time being, Lin Yu wouldn't mind tearing the Doctor into eight pieces.

About an hour later, Lin Yu left the angel's gift.

This time, they not only secured a liquor deal, but also earned hundreds of millions in intelligence fees, ensuring they won't lack Mora anytime soon.

Next, I need to find a way to purchase artifacts.

Four-star artifacts are generally only in the hands of powerful factions. Moreover, it is almost impossible to buy a complete set at once, no matter how rich you are.

A set of four-star artifacts is considered a strategic resource. No major power would sell it, let alone a set. They rarely even sell individual artifacts. In fact, these major powers would buy up any four-star artifacts circulating in the market. It's true that even money can't buy them.

Diluc does have some four-star artifacts, and he wouldn't mind selling them to Lin Yu, but they are only some incomplete pieces. Lin Yu wasn't in a hurry to buy them and planned to ask the Knights of Favonius first.

The Knights of Favonius naturally have a stronger foundation than the Diluc family, and with Jean's family also involved, they should have quite a few four-star artifacts.

As for whether he would sell, Lin Yu wasn't too worried. After all, he had been a great help to Mondstadt and would even help Mondstadt heal Dvalin. In any case, he should have the qualifications to buy.

So Lin Yu prepared to go to the Knights Order to inquire about the relic.

Just as they were approaching the Knights, Lin Yu saw Ying, Paimon, and a guy dressed in green whispering to each other, seemingly plotting something.

[All green? Wendy? Looks like we've entered the original storyline.]

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled slightly, silently approached Ying from behind, and then suddenly patted her shoulder.

Ying was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and without thinking, he drew his sword and slashed behind him.

Lin Yu activated the Golden Light Spell and grasped the longsword that Ying was slashing at him.

At this moment, Wendy stared at Lin Yu's golden hand, her eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought.

"Ying, what are you doing? Are you trying to murder your best friend?"

Lin Yu teased.

Upon seeing that it was Lin Yu, Ying first breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled her eyes at Lin Yu and said, "I don't have a friend as scary as you."

God knows how terrified she was just now!

Anyone who was discussing how to steal the Mondstadt treasure, the Sky Harp, near the Knights of Favonius headquarters would be startled if someone quietly tapped them on the back.

"Yeah, you almost scared me to death too."

Paimon also complained with dissatisfaction.

"There's an old saying in my hometown: 'If you've never done anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night.' Tell me, what shameful things are you doing?"

"No...it was all done by that bard."

Paimon immediately retorted, but then remembered that they did seem to be doing something shady, so he quickly shifted the blame to Wendy.

"Hey, you all agreed to this, so how can you blame me for everything? Besides, this isn't for Dvalin's sake."

Wendy said, feeling wronged.

"Who is this?"

Lin Yu looked at Wendy and asked.

"This is Wendy, the one who calmed Dvalin in the forest. He says he has a way to summon Dvalin."

Ying and Lin Yu explained the cause and effect of the matter.
