CHAPTER 22

Watch out this is a chapter full of bullshit lore i came up with bear with me

Childe POV

“Mr Zhongli have you met Mr phantom ? “ i asked as i checked my pocket watch

“ hm ? Yes i have but i have not seen him since i ended my duties as an archon...I didn’t know you have met him though“ He replied as we walked side by side

“ Well Mr Phantom found the fatui after your ‘death’ to be given access to the golden house to see Rex lapis’s corpse for himself as the Qixing were not agreeable to allow him in , La Signora agreed to disclose it’s location to him if he agrees to help the fatui since he’s well a contract killer “

“ before we head off to pick glaze lilies i have a meeting at the golden house with Mr Phantom , i think he would be thrilled to know that you-Rex lapis is still alive ! “ I beamed as I grabbed his arm and changed course towards the golden house

“ Of course , i probably owe him an explanation too “ Mr Zhongli sighed  

“ That’s the spirit ! Next stop , the golden house ! “

“ He had always been fulfilling contracts for rex lapis , we were quite close friends as he always spent time to have tea with the adepti and I . I presume you know Xiao , one of the Liyue adepti , Phantom always took time to train with him...xiao calls him Huanying if i remember correctly “

“Huanying ? “

“ After young Xiao called him that every time they met he eventually grew into that name , even other gods called him that and although he survived the archon war he refused to take a seat among the seven...he refused to become an archon and chose to remain loyal to rex lapis “

“ Wait so Mr Phantom is a god ? Did he give up his gnosis ? The golden house is quite far from here , explain to me on the way this doesn’t sound boring at all “ I said as we walked back from the borders of Liyue , passing wangshu inn

“ yes he did or at least he thought ,  Murata the pyro archon of war ( the archon’s name and position is canon i think but whatever after this is pure bullshit from me ) his sensei allowed huanying to continue channelling power from celestia instead of through him like normal vision bearers Without a gnosis...Baal the Raiden Shogun of inazuma was a close friend of Huanying in his early years also agreed to allow her childhood friend to continue channelling electro energy from Celestia instead of from her “

“ But why does Mr phantom have a vision if he channels is powers from celestia ? Does that make him in a sense the eighth archon ? And why is he only known to have a pyro vision if he wields both electro and pyro “ i asked giddily , my brain trying to process the loads of new information Mr Zhongli was pouring on me

“ No one had to know about this arrangement , not even Huanying himself knows he still posses a gnosis...Baal gave him a vision , told him he was one of the first vision bearers in teyvat , Murata’s decision was made much later , she told Huanying it was a delusion to prevent other gods or mortals from perceving him as a threat. As for his use of electro and pyro you should ask him yourself “

“ Woah and Mr phantom knows nothing about this ?! He thinks he’s a normal vision and delusion bearer but actually is a god who has a gnosis? “

“yes”

“Alright alright last question before my brain overloads hehe bad pun but yeah how did he start serving the geo archon of contracts if his buddies are from inazuma and natlan (canon) ? “

“He’s a contract killer , who else would he choose to serve for the next four thousand years ? “ Mr Zhongli chuckled looking at the clear blue sky above us

“That explains it”

The fatui has new intel now , our business partner is more powerful than we , and he thinks...but Mr phantom is my friend now , i wish no harm upon him.

For now
