The crimes she subsequently listed were equally heinous. The knights who had accompanied her were unaware of tonight's events, but after hearing Qin's explanation of the charges, they were so enraged that they wanted to draw their swords and chop all the nobles to pieces.
Animals!
No, they're worse than animals!
"Take him down!" Qin ordered coldly.
"No! You can't arrest me!"
"I am a nobleman of Mondstadt, you have no right to use violence against me!"
"Damn Gunnhildr, you're all going to hell!"
After a period of chaos, the once noisy mansion hall became quiet and deserted.
Standing alone in the hall, a sense of desolation welled up in Jean's heart. If it weren't for that mysterious person providing her with this evidence, she would never have known that so many terrible sins existed in Mondstadt.
"They are the most illustrious nobles in Mondstadt."
Qin muttered to herself.
A gust of wind blew by, waking her from her sadness.
Shaking her head, Qin's gaze hardened as she walked towards the door.
...
Su Chen's residence.
Arya, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, returned to the house.
"Teacher, the ensemble leader has already led his men to arrest those nobles."
Su Chen, holding the book, nodded slightly: "Understood."
"Teacher, look!"
Arya held up a bright green crystal hanging from her waist and exclaimed excitedly, "The Eye of God!"
Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, then put down the book and chuckled, "Congratulations, Arya. It seems that the Wind God has recognized your will."
Eye of God - Wind.
Su Chen seemed to see again the girl who stood praying under the statue of the wind god, facing countless knights surrounding her, and finally choosing to let the person closest to her end her life.
"The flames of judgment have begun to burn, and I am willing to offer my broken body as fuel to the dawn."
"Freedom is like a dandelion in the wind, flying towards an unreachable sky."
"Distant gods, can you hear the call of the devout?"
"She calls to you, blowing the budding seed."
"She calls to you, blowing away the silence and numbness."
"She calls to you, to blow away the gloom in your heart."
Su Chen approached Arya and gently stroked her hair.
"Arya, come with me tomorrow morning."
Arya blinked. "Teacher, where are we going?"
"Go and catch up with old friends."
...
Chapter 24 The Man Who Intercepted the Dragon with Icicles [Fifth Update]
News of the arrest of a large number of nobles spread like wildfire throughout Mondstadt, and the entire city was in an uproar the next morning.
How many years has it been since Mondstadt experienced a noble trial? Let alone arresting almost half of the nobles in Mondstadt in one go like this. Those who were oppressed by the nobles were both excited and uneasy.
It's something I've been looking forward to, and now that it's happened, I can hardly believe it.
Some people even think that Mondstadt is doomed, otherwise how could such an unreliable thing happen?
But soon, the Knights, led by Jean, issued a statement to judge the nobles. This event, which could almost be recorded in history, took place amidst the turbulent situation in Mondstadt.
"Have you heard? The nobles are finished!"
"Hey, hey, hey, be serious! It's not that the nobles are finished, it's that those reckless bastards are finished!"
"Joles, Fred, Denton, Absolen... Hmph! These Mondstadt trash, the word 'noble' is an insult to them. What makes them even remotely noble?"
"I heard that Denton is a pedophile. He brings several children to his mansion every month, and he especially likes boys!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill all these damned beasts!"
Cheers erupted throughout the streets and alleys of Mondstadt.
Mondstadt has suffered under the nobility for too long!
Of course, not all nobles were corrupt and decadent.
At least the original meaning of the title 'noble' was to symbolize the spirit and will to protect Mondstadt, which the people of Mondstadt were proud of. However, they often went astray. Even great noble families like Gunnhildr, who have protected Mondstadt for generations, have produced a few bad ones.
In Su Chen's view, this was something that couldn't be helped.
Humans are driven by desires.
If this desire is not restrained, it will bring destruction and disaster.
Why did the god of Mondstadt not intervene? If humanity is to govern itself, a complete and absolutely authoritative legal system must be established, and those who hold the decision-making power must ensure absolute impartiality.
This is too difficult.
However, it seems that Qin is quite suitable for this job.
This was also Su Chen's decision after careful consideration: to let Jean continue to serve as the Grand Master of the Knights, to eradicate the scourge among the Mondstadt nobility, to establish a cooperative relationship with the Earthfire, and then to deal with the Dragon Plague.
Mondstadt.
The bustling crowd occupied almost half the square, their gazes all turning towards the two sides beneath the wind god statue—
Jean and others representing the Knights.
And, the lady representing the Fools, and others.
The nobles' trial continues, and although the election for acting leader is no longer in doubt, the cooperation with the Fools must continue.
Qin also knew that continuing to wait was not a solution.
Even though she desperately hoped that Dvalin could return to normal, she couldn't ignore the current situation in Mondstadt. Mondstadt would not be at peace until Dvalin recovered. The dragon scourge that had lasted for half a year had reduced manpower, financial resources, and even public morale to a very bad level.
Therefore, Qin Cai plans to cooperate with the Fools to solve the dragon disaster together.
However, she still held the opinion of killing Dvalin. The lady did not say anything about it, after all, her purpose was never to kill Dvalin, but only to lure out the wind god.
As for what methods to use in this process, she hasn't thought about it yet.
"Where is the person you're talking about?"
During the signing of the cooperation agreement, the woman kept an eye on the people around Qin, but it seemed unlikely that anyone could be the mysterious person.
Amber? A sentry guard.
Kaeya? You can call someone a cavalryman without a horse?
Yura? She dances quite well.
Lisa? The warehouse manager.
"He went out on something," Qin said.
Su Chen asked her for leave early in the morning, and he was accompanied by a rather cute blue-haired girl.
They said they were going to visit an old friend, but Qin didn't know who it was, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"went out?" The woman's eyebrows twitched. "Who exactly is this person you're talking about? You didn't just make them up, did you?"
At this moment, Lisa, who was standing next to her, laughed and said, "Su Chen really exists."
"Su Chen?"
As the woman remained puzzled, one of his subordinates whispered Su Chen's identity to her.
The lady wouldn't care about being the assistant to the troupe leader, but it's a different story when it involves Rustam.
"Go find him," the woman ordered.
With the power of the Fools, finding someone is quite easy.
Qin did not stop him, because she knew that Su Chen must have anticipated that the lady would come to him. Although she did not understand why Su Chen did not come to meet the lady, Qin had already habitually thought that 'Su Chen must have made a mistake.'
"Su Chen must have been careless to do this," Qin thought to herself.
...
Mondstadt, the Whispering Forest.
In the tranquil forest, the faint light of the small bulrushes flickers, butterflies flutter, and the fragrance of flowers is delightful.
This area is a popular spot for novice adventurers, but as the impact of the Dragon Disaster expands and monsters riot, the monsters inhabiting this forest are becoming increasingly aggressive and numerous.
"drink!--"
With a delicate shout, a figure in cyan flashed through the trees, a sharp, cold light piercing through the trees, accompanied by the application of elemental power, slicing the demon in two.
Arya wielded two daggers, her movements as elusive as a ghost; it was hard to believe she was just a novice who had only been learning assassination techniques for less than half a month.
If that guy in Mondstadt who always practices cutting wooden stakes with his sword saw this, he'd be speechless with surprise.
"so similar."
Su Chen stood at a distance, watching Arya destroy the monsters, as if he were seeing something from five hundred years ago.
Among his many students, Arya was not particularly outstanding; Roland was the most talented, and the others were not much different.
But now, Arya, who possesses the Eye of God: Wind, is displaying talent and strength that is truly astonishing.
In about five minutes, Aria wiped out the group of Hilichurls and Slimes.
"teacher!"
This was her first real battle, and it felt completely different from completing the mission Su Chen gave her in Mondstadt.
