[Heart-Demon Body]

"No, I'm not referring to myself, I'm referring to you. I'm a support, how could I possibly go in personally?" Chen Luo shook his head.

A support player should act like a support player.

In a direct confrontation, the Herrscher of Knowledge should be able to defeat Stormterror, but Chen Luo wasn't sure if he could. Chen Luo meant defeat, not kill. Killing it would be easy— the Third Divine Key could deliver a fatal blow—but defeating it required precise control. The problem was, Chen Luo's mission was to restore Stormterror; what if he accidentally killed it?

After all, Stormterror only looks a few dozen meters long in the game, but it is much larger in reality.

Chen Luo had no experience dealing with large creatures.

Of course, large creatures have their advantages, but large creatures also mean they are likely to be targeted by concentrated fire.

For example, the larger the organism, the more threads it can insert.

Well, we'll only know for sure after we've fought it.

"Me? I can't beat the Stormterror. After all, that's the Dragon of the East Wind. I'm aware of my own limitations." Eula quickly shook her head after hearing Chen Luo referring to her.

"Sigh, don't underestimate yourself. Of course, your chances of winning are a bit low right now, but I happen to have a dragon-slaying weapon." Chen Luo said, taking out his [Sword of Descending Dragon Blood] from his backpack.

"This sword, having been bathed in dragon blood, can inflict even greater damage on any dragon-type creature. With it, slaying the Stormterror is just around the corner," Chen Luo explained to Ying, Paimon Eula, Paimon, and Venti.

"Wow, A Luo, why do you always have these weird things? And don't be so fierce, be gentle." Chen Luo was startled when he saw the sword Venti that he took out.

Venti could indeed sense that the sword seemed to be imbued with some kind of magical power.

"We should try to persuade them gently, very gently," Venti said.

"Oh? Flexible? How so?" Chen Luo looked at Venti, his face full of eagerness.

"Wait, why are you looking at me like that?" Venti took a step back, startled by Chen Luo's gaze.

Chapter 152 [The Inner Demon's Body]

"So the first step to saving Mondstadt is to borrow the Lyre of Winds? That's impossible, isn't it?" Eula questioned after hearing about Venti's first step.

Ying and Paimon are Traveler from a foreign land and don't know the significance of the Lyre of Winds to the people of Mondstadt, but Eula does.

Just kidding, you think I'd lend you the Lyre of Winds just because you say so? No way!

Moreover, if Eula hadn't known Venti quite well, Eula would have thought Venti was some kind of fraudster.

Of course, Eula still thinks so now.

"So Venti, where did you get all this knowledge from? Are you really sure that having the Lyre of Winds will save Tevyat?"

"Of course, because I am the best poet in the world. There is no song I do not know, past, future, or present. Look into my eyes, don't you think I am very trustworthy?" Venti stared at the wax with wide eyes.

"Hmm, if you hadn't said that last sentence, I would have thought you were quite trustworthy." As a long-time drinking buddy, Eula had a certain level of trust in Venti.

However, having a certain level of trust does not mean that you must completely believe in someone.

"Sigh, if you don't believe me, you should at least believe Alo. Alo can prove that I absolutely have the ability to use the Lyre of Winds to bring Tevyat back to his senses." Venti knew that she couldn't persuade Eula immediately, so she used Chen Luo as a shield.

Ying and Paimon witnessed their conversation with Tevyat firsthand, so they would believe it.

Chen Luo knew he was the Anemo Archon Barbatos, so Chen Luo believed it.

But Eula knows nothing about it, so Eula won't believe it.

However, it would be quite difficult for Venti to prove that he is the Anemo Archon right now.

Therefore, it is now necessary to prove it in the simplest way possible.

"Yes, Eula, I guarantee Venti can definitely do it. Trust me this once," Chen Luo said, looking into Eula's eyes.

"Uh, okay, fine." Feeling Chen Luo's gaze, Eula could only nod.

"Look at her, a classic example of someone who values romance over friendship," Venti said, pointing angrily at Eula.

"Wait, what does 'valuing romance over friendship' mean... me?" Eula pointed to herself in astonishment.

"Certainly!"

He talked for ages and the other person didn't believe him, but Chen Luo only said one sentence and the other person believed him. What kind of differential treatment is this?

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. You guys hurry up and go to Mondstadt to get the Lyre of Winds. Eula and I will keep watch for you." Chen Luo waved to Venti, his meaning quite clear.

"Ah, wait, what did you say? What do you mean?" Venti was suddenly startled.

What does this person mean?

Are they just going to slack off and do nothing?

I haven't even started fishing yet, you can't do this!

"Didn't you come to help? How can you just leave like this? You should have come to help! I've already sent out my request!" Venti said anxiously.

Venti used to always slack off and not do anything serious, but now that she sees others slacking off and not doing anything serious, she can finally understand how others feel when they are with her.

"... Heh?" After a moment of silence, Chen Luo tilted his head.

"Hey, you head!" Venti roared at Chen Luo.

I thought I was already slacking off enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more so.

"Heh heh heh, I hope you have the same attitude towards your life. Heh heh every day, what kind of heh heh monster are you?" Venti said unhappily.

"..." Chen Luo crossed his arms and looked up at the sky.

Being called "Aihei" by "Aihei" is truly a magical experience.

"What can I do? I accepted your commission, but I want to resolve this with force, and you're unwilling." Chen Luo's expression now seemed rather innocent.

"Besides, it's not appropriate for Eula and me to go out and borrow the Lyre of Winds this time. I'm a complete stranger in a foreign land, how could I possibly borrow it? Eula is even less likely to do so. So we can only pray for you in front of Mondstadt Cathedral, hoping that you can borrow the Lyre of Winds back."

"Young man and young woman, I hope Anemo Archon Barbatos God can fool you." Chen Luo said to Venti, Paimon and Ying in a serious tone.

"..." And just like that, Venti left with a dark expression.

Chen Luo, let me tell you, you will never receive the blessing of the Anemo Archon Barbatos in your entire life.

"Can they really get the Lyre of Winds?" Eula with some concern as Venti and the others headed towards Mondstadt Cathedral.

"There's no way we can get it. Is there even a need to think about it? It's impossible to get it." Chen Luo said quite bluntly.

What is the Lyre of Winds? The Lyre of Winds is a sacred relic of Barbatos kept in Mondstadt Cathedral. How could it be borrowed so easily?

At the very least, shouldn't it require the approval of the Acting Grand Master Jean?

It's quite interesting how Venti, as the Anemo Archon Barbatos, wants to get his harp back, yet he has to steal it like a thief. That's really intriguing.

Does this mean that a student whose phone was confiscated by the teacher has to return it after stealing it back? Although the analogy isn't perfect, that's essentially what happened.

"What do we do next?" Eula asked.

"Well, I was actually thinking, do you think I could climb onto the hands of this Statue of the Seven?" Chen Luo stood in the square, looking up at the huge wind god Statue of the Seven with outstretched hands in front of him.

"What do you think you're doing? If you're discovered, the nun will teach you a lesson." Eula pointed to the Anemo Archon in the distance and said to the black-clad nun below.

"I mainly think there should be a reward if I sit on the Statue of the Seven," Chen Luo muttered under his breath.

"What kind of reward could there be? Heavenly Prison?" Eula looked at Chen Luo with annoyance.

"No, there really should be a reward. I'll try it tonight." Although Chen Luo really wanted to try it now, Chen Luo gave up the idea of experimenting during the day because he saw the crowds coming and going in the square in front of Mondstadt Cathedral.

To be honest, Chen Luo's talent isn't a talent for commissioning tasks, nor is it a talent for killing and robbing, nor is it a talent for making friends. Chen Luo's talent is called [Traveler], which means the talent for traveling to different worlds.

In fact, when Chen Luo visited Chiba Academy again after the 7-day event in the Honkai World expired, he was given a check-in reward.

20 Primogem isn't much, but it's still a reward of Originium Stones.

The same applies to ME Company.

When Chen Luo left Changkong City and followed the Raven to other cities, Chen Luo also received a reward of 50 Primogem, as a reward for achieving the Chen Luo Changkong City travel achievement.

Therefore, Chen Luo guessed that if he went to a world and visited an important place to check in, he would receive a travel reward. Although it wasn't much, who wouldn't want free Primogem?

However... it's not like you'll automatically receive the reward once you get there; you still need to go to a special location.

This location will be directly exposed to Chen Luo during non-event periods.

For example, when Chen Luo was in the Whisperwind Plains just now, the talent panel indicated that if he stepped on the head of the Statue of the Seven, he could get a check-in reward.

But Venti was right there...

Now Chen Luo has received a hint that he will receive a reward as long as he sits on the hands of the Anemo Archon.

Well, here's the question: how much reward would Chen Luo get if he sat on Venti's head?

This is truly a thought-provoking question.

While pondering Chen Luo, he activated his talent, and at the same time, the interface for exchanging the abilities of the Herrscher of Knowledge also opened.

Those Herrscher of Knowledge

[Herrscher Authority of Knowledge (Inner Demon) - Modified]: 4095 (Original Price 13,000 Primogem)

35% off

"Sigh, it's expensive again." Chen Luo sighed inwardly.

After consuming the Inner Demon Lure 'Herrscher of Knowledge has been constantly evolving, which is why the Herrscher Authority of Knowledge is becoming increasingly expensive.

The price just now was 13,000 Primogem, which was the result of a 35% discount followed by a 10% discount.

Because the 7-day 10% discount period hasn't ended yet.

Chen Luo currently has 23,625 crystals.

Should we buy it or not?

Since the Herrscher of Present Tense at home taking care of the children, the Herrscher of Knowledge is not with Chen Luo. This makes Chen Luo realize that the Herrscher of Knowledge cannot always be by his side, as there may be more and more children to take care of in the future.

Purchase?

Not buying?

Purchase!

It'll be even more expensive if you don't buy it now!

Yesterday, after giving out favorability gifts, Herrscher of Knowledge's discount only reached 35%, so it's easy to imagine that this discount is really hard to go down any further.

There's a 10% discount right now, so it'll be even more expensive if I don't buy it now.

Anyway, having more skills is never a bad thing. Of course, the most crucial thing is that the Herrscher Authority Herrscher of Knowledge an upgradeable power. Also, according to the Herrscher of Knowledge herself, she can improve her mental strength after absorbing negative energy.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Luo wants to buy it now.

[Ding! Talent purchased successfully]

With a ding, Chen Luo's 4095 crystals disappeared instantly, and at the same time, a new Herrscher of Knowledge, appeared in Chen Luo's talent list.

Chen Luo didn't feel anything special about it, such as any surge of power or fever. He just felt as if he had gained an extra instinct.

At the same time, Chen Luo also felt that the entire Mondstadt City seemed to be shrouded in a great fear. The entire Mondstadt area was filled with negative energy such as fear, dread, worry, and anxiety, which was naturally brought by the Stormterror Tevyat.

Chen Luo could naturally sense his own talent's yearning for these negative energies.

With a thought, Chen Luo flicked his finger, and countless invisible threads of consciousness instantly filled the entire Mondstadt square. The threads gently probed into the bodies of everyone gathered in Mondstadt square, and then the mostly black negative energy slowly flowed into Chen Luo's body along the threads.

"Ah, the power is surging up." This time, Chen Luo finally felt the real impact of the Herrscher Authority on him.

Chen Luo didn't know exactly how Shi Herrscher of Knowledge absorbed these negative energies, but Chen Luo felt that it was probably not as convenient for Chen Luo didn't need to come into contact with those people at all. As long as Chen Luo's [Consciousness Threads] could touch those people, those negative emotions could flow into Chen Luo's body through the threads.

These negative energies, on the one hand, strengthen Chen Luo's Herrscher Authority and on the other hand, strengthen Chen Luo's mental strength. But at the same time, the negative emotional residue contained in these negative energies is also impacting Chen Luo's mind.

Only then did Chen Luo understand why those Herrscher of Knowledge dared not touch the dark emotions within that Childhood Fun Park.

The surge of heat that Chen Luo received after completing the mission will comprehensively enhance all of Chen Luo qualities, including his mental strength.

After becoming Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo felt that his mental strength had increased slightly.

The people in Mondstadt are generally not very strong, almost no different from ordinary people. Even so, Chen Luo felt that his emotions were significantly affected when he absorbed their negative energy.

If Chen Luo dared to absorb the darkness in the Childhood Fun Park, wouldn't he be completely brainwashed?

These days, it's not so easy to be a demon in your heart.

While gaining the Herrscher Authority of Knowledge, Chen Luo also acquired something similar to the Inner Demon's Body, allowing him to infiltrate and examine the mental world of others.

However, Chen Luo's Inner Demon's Body could only achieve this effect at most.
