The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

The appearance of this maid was exactly the tentacle girl that Lin Ye had seen.

Priscilla nodded gently, stepped aside, and followed behind Eberhardt, just like always.

In the family hall, Eberhardt calmly narrated the arrangements for the patriarch's birthday party, and the patriarch Landrich was very satisfied after listening to it. He sat on a high seat, nodded with satisfaction, then thought of someone and snorted coldly.

"That idiot is a disgrace to the family. Don't even think about coming back once he leaves!"

Erberhardt said nothing more, maintaining the image of an aristocratic elite with outstanding abilities and proper etiquette.

Since he had agreed with the Fools that he would perform a play, he would just cooperate with them. It was just that he would relive his past experiences and face his past failures.

"Brother, personal power is limited. As you said, what you can do is just a tiny bit. In the end, what can you change?" Erberhart thought, "I used to think that to change all this, I needed power. After experiencing a failure, I know that I also need the power to defeat the gods. Haha."

Lin Ye was walking on the streets of the civilian area. He had only been in Mondstadt for a short time, but he was already familiar with the streets that stretched in all directions.

Lin Ye called the era in which Parsifal lived Old Mond. The architectural planning of Old Mond was slightly different from that of later times. The houses where the common people lived were mostly low-rise, but some iconic large buildings remained unchanged.

Except for the statue of the God of Wind.

It has been replaced by a tall tower, which the Lawrence family has re-erected in Mondstadt and in the hearts of its people in order to symbolize their ruling status.

Lin Ye's real name is Parsifal. He is a member of the old Mondstadt, but Lin Ye's will is that of an outsider. He observes this dark world silently.

I don’t know if it’s because of the gloomy weather, but Lin Ye only felt the atmosphere was depressing and dull. The bumpy streets were filled with dirty water, reflecting the turbidity of the sky.

Most of the Mond people who came and went kept their heads down, looking depressed, and their brows were filled with sadness as they talked. Women would not take their children out to the streets, for fear of offending the nobles who came to the civilian area from time to time to have fun.

Parsifal had a hangover yesterday and only woke up this afternoon. Lin Ye became him, inheriting his physical fitness, strong but hungry, with a burning sensation brought by bad wine.

Lin Ye would go to a noble family at night to take away their "ill-gotten gains". According to Parsifal's memory, this operation went as smoothly as usual.

Lin Ye had some doubts about what the system said about the actions of playing Parsifal. He was not a robot. Every word, every expression and every movement could be perfectly copied, so Lin Ye had to explore and find the greatest room for free play.

For example, the original Parsifal went to buy sunset fruit to satisfy his hunger, and Lin Ye went to buy apples?

The owner of the apple stall was a young man. Unlike the other stall owners, he was mercenary, had a haggard face and seemed to be worried about something. He agreed immediately when Lin Ye asked to buy apples and bargain with him. This made Lin Ye lose his temper and he was mentally prepared for a verbal battle.

After all, according to Parsifal's memory, if you don't bargain when buying something, you will most likely lose money, because you have to pay taxes to the masters, which makes merchants generally stingy and cunning, and the scales they use are also tampered with.

At the beginning, the nobleman Parsifal was really cheated badly, until he became familiar with the lower class and understood the tricks.

After buying the apples, Lin Ye wiped them with his sleeve and took a bite of them with the skin on. They tasted just average, but Lin Ye was very hungry and the burning sensation in his abdomen was slightly relieved.

Lin Ye finished the fruit in a few bites and wanted to find a trash can to throw away the core. When he looked around, he saw a little boy staring at him with longing eyes.

The little boy's face was pitch black, and his skinny body looked ragged and loose in his clothes. He huddled beside an alley, without shoes on, with the toes of his exposed foot curled up. He was shivering in the cold wind on this cloudy day, and there was not a clean spot on his body. Oh, what was there was a look of pure longing in his blue eyes.

"..." Lin Ye was silent.

This is a land blessed by the gods. There are no natural disasters and there is basically a good harvest every quarter. However, in this old Mondstadt, people still starve to death on a large scale.

If there is no natural disaster, then it is a man-made disaster.

The nobles have deducted various taxes, such as life tax. You are alive because of the grace of the nobles. Pay Mora to repay their kindness!

There is also a window tax. If you want to install windows so that you can feel the breeze in the room, you have to pay a certain amount of Mora, which you have to pay every month.

In addition to these two, there are also taxes such as ear tax, shadow tax, fart tax, etc. In short, there are many kinds of strange and bizarre taxes, but the taxes are not small! Basically, all the moula earned from labor in a year is used to pay taxes.

It is no wonder that all we see when we look around are unscrupulous businessmen who are really forced into this situation.

Mondstadt has no shortage of food. Despite suffering from the attacks of the evil dragon Ursa, the food produced is enough to provide the city's residents with enough food and clothing, provided that the nobles are willing to share the food in their manors and farms.

The answer was of course fantastic, which led to the emergence of many hungry people, including many children who were thrown away because they could not be fed and became beggars.

This was the first time Lin Ye saw this scene and he was deeply shocked. The memories of Parsifal stored in his mind merged with Lin Ye's memories, and Lin Ye truly experienced the pain that Parsifal witnessed.

Lin Ye thought about it and bought two apples from the owner of the apple stall, holding one in each hand. He walked up to the little boy, who was shrinking his body, flailing his legs and feet, and backing away. When Lin Ye got closer, he realized that the little boy was a disabled person who had lost one leg.

"Master." The little boy looked up at the apple in Lin Ye's hand, which was not very good in color. He swallowed, then lowered his head in fear and said timidly.

The little boy was not very old, probably about eleven or twelve years old. He seldom spoke, so his words were halting. He tried hard to be flattering, but his performance was not good enough. His voice was also very weak and out of place.

Lin Ye was one of the few "rich people" who came up to the little boy with food. In the past, no matter how much the little boy begged, almost no one would come to give him alms. Over time, the little boy became numb and stopped making any sound.

"Here you go." Lin Ye squatted down and handed it to the little boy neatly.

After hearing this, the little boy quickly raised his head, with an expression of shock and disbelief on his dark face. Then, he stretched out his hand, which was even thinner than Proteus's, and carefully picked up the apple, fearing that his hands would dirty Lin Ye's relatively white hands.

After the little boy got an apple, he subconsciously hid it in his arms. He wanted to give it to his sister, but he showed a confused expression again.

Oh, his sister just starved to death yesterday.

The little boy did not shed a tear. He was so hungry that he saw stars. He lay beside his sister, drinking the rainwater from the sky to fill his stomach. His sister was so weak and sick that she did not even have the strength to open her mouth.

When the little boy came to his senses, his sister was already dead.

In the past, the little sister would carry the little boy on her back to beg on the street. Now he left his sister there and crawled onto the street himself, begging for food and feeding it to his sister. This is paranoia. He believes that his sister will come alive if she eats the food.

But in the end the little boy was deceiving himself, and his tears finally flowed down, more than the rain water he drank yesterday.

Lin Ye didn't know what happened to the little boy. He squatted down and looked at him expressionlessly. Parsifal's appearance was like his personality, with a kind of unruly handsomeness. But when there was no expression on his face, he looked so cold and handsome that it made people feel scared and oppressive.

Lin Ye waited patiently for the little boy to finish crying, and he spoke in a commanding tone.

"Eat it."

The little boy was stunned for a moment. He had no idea that in the alley behind him where his sister's body was left, there were a few hungry and jealous peers who were staring at the little boy's back, swallowing their saliva, waiting for Lin Ye to leave so that they could rush over and grab the body to eat like mad dogs.

Perhaps Lin Ye's commanding tone frightened the little boy. He trembled as he bit the apple mixed with tears, and then gobbled it up without even throwing away the apple core.

After Lin Ye ate the core of his apple, he gave the other apple to the little boy.

Lin Ye continued to order him to finish eating.

Only after both apples were in the little boy's stomach did Lin Ye stand up and leave.

At this moment, he heard a grateful yet confused voice.

"Thank you, sir."

Lin Ye didn't answer and left on his own.

At this moment, Lin Ye hated Parsifal for spending all the Mora, but Parsifal distributed the robbed Mora to the poor. Mondstadt was so big and there were so many poor people, he could not give away all the Mora.

Parsifal is a young nobleman who used to drink fine wine, but now he drinks bad and spicy wine.

There is no Mora in Linye anymore.

“I have to do something big!” Lin Ye thought.

Lin Ye did not have the grand ambition to save the world. Maybe he had it when everyone in Liyue Harbor was praising the partners of justice, or maybe he had it when he took on the wishes of the people of Findenir in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, but now, he just wanted to help the people he met in a practical way.

As for those far away, Lin Ye had no way to deal with them.

It's not like he didn't see the beggar behind the little boy, but he didn't have Mora, so could he become a suffering person, bullying another suffering person?

Lin Ye saw that the group of children would not starve to death today, but he saw that the little boy would starve to death tonight if he didn't eat.

Lin Ye never believed that the poor should kill each other to fight for that little bit, which might be just leftovers for the nobles.

Subconsciously, Lin Ye tightly grasped the sword wrapped in coarse cloth; his purpose was clear.

His sword should be pointed at the abuser!

Chapter 229: The Changed World Line (Please Subscribe)

It was a pitch-black night. The moon had not peeked out from under the clouds. All lights in the civilian area had been turned off long ago. Only a few street lamps were flashing mottled lights. From time to time, shadows moved. They were beggars looking for rotten vegetable leaves left in the market.

During the day, Lin Ye wore coarse linen clothes, the attire of a commoner. At night, he wore a dark blue suit with an eye mask on his face. With the flashes in the dark alley and the cloak behind him, he looked particularly coquettish. Rather than a chivalrous thief, he was more like a phantom thief.

Parsifal is also a man with aspirations. He understands the brand effect and builds his own personality. Compared with an ordinary thief wearing coarse linen clothes, a gentleman thief with elegant speech and manners can attract more attention from the world.

In fact, those rich girls living in the wealthy and aristocratic areas are quite interested in the chivalrous thief in the dark alley. It is said that his loud and moving singing voice, his archery skills, his shining swordsmanship, and his handsome face under the eye mask, all of these are the settings of the male protagonist in romantic novels!

The pure and blooming flowers are looking forward to the day when, on a beautiful moonlit night, a chivalrous thief from the alley will come to visit uninvited, steal the heart of the young girl on the balcony, and then begin a passionate forbidden love.

If Parsifal had worn rough clothing and did not have extraordinary courage and martial arts to play triumphantly with the nobles, and was just an ordinary rough man, there would probably not have been such a sensation, his name "famous" in Mondstadt, making the nobles uneasy day and night, and making the people in the tavern drink and brag about it.

It was a chilly night. Lin Ye wrapped himself in his only decent clothing, walked around the patrolling knights, and came to a nobleman's villa with ease.

Mondstadt is the capital of the country of Mondstadt. Apart from the three great nobles, the remaining nobles only own villas and mansions in the capital. Manors and castles are located on large tracts of land outside the city.

Even without the castle, there were still twenty knights patrolling back and forth in the villa. Without Gollum's possession, Lin Ye, with the help of Parsifal's skills and experience, was able to easily avoid the knights, most of whom were drunkards.

According to the memory, Lin Ye walked into a dim corridor with connected rooms next to it. At this time, the silver light of the moon shone through the dark clouds, through the glass windows, and into the corridor.

Lin Ye's footsteps were extremely light and the environment was extremely quiet. Suddenly, he heard a gasp.

A faint panting sound came from a room. Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, used the flash in the dark alley to cut the door lock, gently opened the door, and witnessed the extravagant atmosphere in the room.

"Sir, we're cracking down on pornography." Lin Ye said calmly.

The man and woman inside were stunned at first, and then the good-looking young girl wanted to scream. The next moment, a strand of her hair was neatly cut off, and at the same time, her fair neck felt a cold wind, and goose bumps appeared on her skin.

The unexpected death threat made the girl speechless.

The nobleman was quite calm. He had blond hair but Mediterranean skin and a kind look, but he was naked and was originally on top of the girl.

Beads of sweat appeared on the noble lord's forehead. He recognized Lin Ye's identity. He was the hateful thief who had been very famous recently!

"How much Mora do you want?" the noble lord asked tactfully.

He did not shout or call for the guards, but instead forced himself to hold on to his weak body and pulled the quilt to cover himself. Regardless of whether the girl covered herself or not, the privacy of the untouchables could not compare to that of the nobles.

Lin Ye recalled the original price Parsifal had asked for, but he remembered the little boy he had met in the afternoon, and the children behind him. Lin Ye wanted more, and stepped forward lightly.

Lin Ye spoke in a gentle voice, words that made the noble lord shudder.

"Sir, how much is your life worth? Is it worth all your remaining property?"

"Don't be too greedy!" The noble master gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Ye.

How angry he was that he was threatened by a despicable thief!

Who is he? What qualifications does he have?

"You are just a thief. What you want is Mora, right? We nobles give you a dog and know how to feed it delicious food. But if a dog starts to want to live the same life as its owner, its only fate is to be handed over to the butcher." The noble lord said angrily.

The noble lord's angry voice attracted the guards outside.

Lin Ye sighed and glanced at the young girl again. She did not have the arrogance and luxury of aristocrats. She was probably a commoner girl, probably a maid who was chosen by the noble master to sleep with him.

The girl crossed her arms over her chest, lowered her head and trembled. Her neck and ears were red and she was extremely ashamed and angry.

Parsifal was angry that the nobleman had defiled the young girl, but he was used to hearing and seeing such things in the past.

He once killed a noble in a rage and gave the girl Mora to him, but later he learned that the girl had been sold to another noble by her parents.

Another time, Parsifal rescued a young girl from the nobility, but was slapped in the face because the girl thought it was Parsifal who made her lose the opportunity to jump class!

From then on, Parsifal chose to stand idly by in such situations unless the girl asked him for help.

This is the tragedy of the times.

In Lin Ye's memory, this time Parsifal did not kill the Mediterranean man in front of him, nor did he take the young girl away. He just threw the noble lord naked onto the street, sang loudly to attract the crowd's attention, and took away a large amount of jewelry by the way, and then left in a leisurely manner.

What about Lin Ye? He has Parsifal's memories, his experiences and disappointments.

But he has more memories of a little boy than Parsifal, and he has more memories of living in a world where all beings are equal than Parsifal.

Lin Ye chose to take the initiative to give the young girl a chance. He saw that the young girl still had a sense of shame. Lin Ye ignored the hurried footsteps coming from outside. The cold light flashing in the dark alley pressed against the throat of the stiff noble master, and turned his head to look at the young girl.

"Do you want to leave here?"

Lin Ye's question had not yet been uttered.

The patrolling knight rushed into the room and pointed his sword at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye clicked his tongue and ignored the knight who issued the warning. Instead, he looked back at the noble lord, "Well, I remember it was you... um, I forgot. Anyway, sir, get up. Don't just stay in bed. Stand in front of me."

As he spoke, someone flashed across the dark alley and quietly scratched the nobleman's neck, leaving a line of blood.

A complex expression of fear and frustration suddenly appeared on the noble master's face. He slowly stood up and reached for his trousers with one hand.

"Let it go." Lin Ye said calmly.

The nobleman's face turned pale. He felt extremely humiliated standing naked in front of his dog.

The noble lord could only comfort himself by saying that it didn't matter if he was seen by a group of dogs as long as he retained his noble dignity.

"It's late at night, and everyone is sleepy. Throw all the jewels and molas you can find in front of me, and let me see them put into the sack with my own eyes. After that, I will let your master go."
