The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Susan shook her head and handed the sack of jewelry to Lin Ye.

"What are you going to do next?" Lin Ye took it and asked.

"Master, you can't go back. To avoid retaliation, just hide." Susan said numbly.

"I can take you out of the city. Don't worry about the dragon outside the city. I can hire a group of people to protect you."

"I have lived in Mondstadt since I was a child. Where can I go if I leave here?" Susan asked.

"Mondstadt is so big that anywhere can be your home. You can go to some towns that are out of reach of the nobles in the city, or leave the country. You don't have to worry about Mora." Lin Ye lifted the sack.

"Why are you helping me, sir?" Susan asked another question.

"Why shouldn't I help you? After all, I'm the Alley Thief."

Susan was a clever girl, but she laughed at herself about it.

"You shouldn't help me. You are the hope and comfort of the common people. Go help those who deserve your help. At least I don't deserve it."

"Morta doesn't have the courage to shake his fist at a noble. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to offend a noble."

"My experiences since childhood have taught me that the price of offending a noble is something an ordinary person like me cannot afford. I would rather hide away."

"Honestly, I understand what More did. I just... selfishly fantasize that he is my warrior." Susan whispered.

Lin Ye heard and saw from Susan's words and eyes the inferiority, pain and numbness, and there is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart.

In Lin Ye’s previous life, he did not live in a country that divided people into different classes. In this life, he is both a rich young man and a powerful man with considerable strength.

Even if he plays Parsifal, he is still a man who has enjoyed a wealthy life and is skilled in martial arts.

Lin Ye could understand, but he could not deeply appreciate the feeling of despair that ordinary people like Susan would feel when facing a ferocious beast like a flood.

It was a feeling of powerlessness and self-abandonment, with no thought of fighting.

With the help of Parsifal's memory, Lin Ye gradually became a part of this era. He felt sorry for their misfortune and was angry at their lack of resistance.

Just like Parsifal once was.

"noble!"

"noble?"

"*****!"

Lin Ye used Liyue swear words.

Susan was stunned for a moment.

Is this the well-educated "Dark Alley Thief"?

Susan didn't understand some of the swear words, but she felt they were powerful.

"Didn't you ever think of resisting?"

"Resistance?"

It never occurred to her.

"...Sir, you have a sword and martial arts, but I can kill a chicken. If there is a bigger creature, I can't even beat the weak and sickly More..." Susan said tactfully.

Lin Ye felt discouraged when he heard this.

Susan added, "The money I have saved at home is enough for me to hide for a while. My Lord, please leave these jewels to someone who needs them more than me."

Then, she wrapped her cloak around her, barefoot, and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I can't return this cloak to you, my Lord. It's too conspicuous, even at night. If you want to take it back, I won't say anything..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye took off his coat and shoes and asked Susan to put them on.

Susan loosened her cloak in front of Lin Ye, who turned his head away.

Lin Ye felt a little uncomfortable. Not long ago, this young girl's ears and neck turned red because of shame.

Susan is petite, while Lin Ye is tall. The edges of her coat just cover her hips, revealing a pair of slender, round, white thighs. Lin Ye also has big feet, and when Susan puts on boots, her slender feet look even smaller.

Susan thanked her again and wanted to return the cloak, but Lin Ye waved his hand.

Afterwards, Susan left.

Lin Ye watched silently. He thought about redeeming the girl, such as staying by her side to take care of her, but as a thief, how could he take good care of a girl?

This was Lin Ye's first night in Old Mondstadt, and it left a particularly deep impression on him.

Such as the haggard little boy, the cowardly young man, and the sad maid.

Lin Ye felt a sense of powerlessness.

It was as if there were countless silk threads entangled in the darkness, strangling his neck and making it difficult for him to breathe.

This is what Parsifal experienced firsthand.

Lin Ye plays Parsifal, more like

He looked at Susan's disappearing back and suddenly remembered.

This is the [Earth Vein Memory World]. What I see is just a memory preserved by the Earth Vein. What was the ending of Susan in history?

An irritated Lin Ye wanted to drink, so he passed by a tavern and took off his blindfold. His clothes were so disheveled that no one recognized him as the legendary "Dark Alley Thief".

Lin Ye had no Mora except for the jewelry, and he didn't want to expose the jewelry, so he owed money. The owner of the tavern saw that Lin Ye was in a mess but had an extraordinary temperament, so he agreed, but only for inferior wine.

The moonlight is cold and clear.

Lin Ye thought of a possibility.

Lin Ye thought, he made a decision completely different from Parsifal, but the system still did not say anything to indicate that it violated the rules. Does this mean that no matter what Lin Ye did, he could not change More's cowardice and Susan's despair?

Perhaps Susan's ending in history was not much different from what he saw, hiding in one place, hiding forever.

"It's just a memory, is it worth getting emotional about?"

Drunk Lin Ye muttered to himself.

His goal is to complete the system task and find a way to leave the [Earth Vein Memory World], preferably by killing Eberhardt within the rules.

What Lin Ye has to do is to play the role of Parsifal and experience what he experienced. That’s all. Everything else doesn’t matter because it’s a memory.

Don't know what's going on in the real world?

Lin Ye was not clear about the range of the blooming of the vein flowers, and thought that he and Eberhart were the only ones who entered the [Earth Vein Memory World].

Lin Ye looked at the brightly lit area of the nobility from afar and was at a loss for a moment.

…………

The Imonroka family.

The head of the family, Landrich, held a birthday party and invited all the prominent nobles, including the Lawrence family.

The banquet was luxurious. Not only were there delicacies from the land and sea on the table, but there were also many rare foods, highlighting the word "exquisite".

Eberhardt, dressed in a black suit, quietly observed the nobles attending the banquet without saying a word.

Chapter 232: Decay (Please subscribe)

As one of the three great noble families in Mondstadt, the birthday party of Landrich, the head of the Imonroka family, was naturally attended by "many distinguished friends" and "full of distinguished guests". The gentlemen and wealthy businessmen who were on good terms with Landrich came to the party with rare treasures.

Among them is the Lawrence family, which is also one of the three major noble families.

The Lawrence family sent Buck, and as the eldest son of the Lawrence family head, Buck would undoubtedly be the future heir to the family head, which shows their sincerity.

Buck first greeted Landrich on behalf of his father, and told him the reason why his father could not come.

Landrich knew his friend's character very well and was afraid that he was not reluctant to resign himself to the gentle pleasures of life, so he did not blame him. Instead, he acted like a kind elder, asking Buck about his well-being and using the flowery rhetoric of an aristocrat.

Buck responded with a hum, but was obviously a little impatient.

This was not the first time Landrich had seen Buck. He knew that this guy had the same moral character as his father. He was just going through the motions. Aren't nobles the best at going through the motions?

Landrich waved his hand, signaling Buck to go and play by himself, and the latter left happily.

Buck is a little fat boy who is arrogant and domineering. The long-standing education of a thousand years is useless in him. Buck thinks he is humorous and witty and chats with other rich girls to take advantage of them.

The girls who were entangled by Buck were afraid of his noble status. As they were the beneficiaries of the class division, they would abide by this set of rules, so they pursed their lips and forced smiles.

Do you think Buck is just an arrogant and conceited dude?

wrong!

Buck had sharp eyes and he could see the girls' reluctance, but he enjoyed this wonderful feeling.

The focus of aristocratic birthday parties, especially dinners, is on socializing rather than eating. Few people enjoy the delicious food on the long tables. After the host, Landrich, said a lot of polite words, the pianist played and the social dance began.

Buck used dancing as an excuse to hug the girl's slender waist, but his chubby hands were restless and slid up and down. Looking closely, he could smell the pleasant body fragrance and see the girl's pink neck, which made Buck unable to resist biting it.

Hey.

Buck just likes the feeling of bullying people.

However, Buck was tired of playing with these ladies. He was looking forward to the badminton festival in two months, when he would select beautiful girls from the common people. As the saying goes, wild flowers are more fragrant than domestic flowers.

At this moment, Buck noticed a gaze, turned his head, and saw a young man with blue eyes making eye contact with him.

The young man was handsome and cool, the type that girls liked very much. He also wore a tailor-made suit, which made him look tall and slender. This made Buck feel inferior, and even more disgusted and hateful.

Buck knew this young man. His name seemed to be Eberhart. He was just a maid's child, a bastard.

The superiority of bloodline and status made Buck regain his confidence. He showed a provocative look, but to Buck's disappointment, Eberhardt actually smiled at him.

This made Buck very uncomfortable, and he subconsciously gripped his partner's hips, causing the girl to become shy.

"Hmph!" Buck looked displeased and didn't care about the girl in his arms.

The girl shed tears because of humiliation, but she did not dare to push Buck away, fearing that Buck would cause trouble for her father.

The girl's father was of a higher rank than the noble lord that Lin Ye robbed, but there was still a big gap between him and a top noble like Lawrence.

On the other side, on Eberhardt's side, he ignored Buck's inexplicable provocation and just looked at Buck, simply because Buck rushed into his field of vision with sharp and wild dance steps.

Eberhart didn't care, but Priscilla, the maid next to him, was a little resentful.

Priscilla is an outstanding and cold beauty with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye. Even though she is wearing a maid's outfit, she still shows her capable and unyielding temperament.

On the surface, she is Erberhart's personal maid, but in fact she is responsible for secretarial work and is one of Erberhart's very few trusted confidants.

"Master, do you want me to teach him a lesson?" Priscilla whispered.

Erberhardt glanced at Priscilla and said calmly.

"Don't do unnecessary things."

"Yes."

Whether to suppress or get to know Buck Lawrence is not Eberhardt's most important matter at the moment.

Judging from the intelligence collected by Eberhardt, for a fool like Buck Lawrence who thinks he is smart, with a little bit of scheming, he can turn hostility into friendship and make Buck think that he and Eberhardt are good brothers.

To put it bluntly, Buck looked down on Erberhardt because of his bloodline, but Erberhardt never looked down on Buck.

If his plan reached the point of forcing the emperor to abdicate, he would also strive for the tacit approval of the head of the Lawrence family and would not care about this little fat boy.

Erberhardt’s first priority was to gain Landrich’s approval, both in terms of talent and adulation.

Today's banquet arrangements for the great nobles went smoothly throughout the entire process.

Especially before the birthday party officially started in the evening, Eberhardt volunteered to fight with a hungry monster that had been imprisoned for a long time. With his elegant sword, he easily cut off its head as a gift to Landrich's father.

The visiting nobles were amazed at Eberhard's skills and praised him one after another, saying that he was worthy of the Imonroka family, which was famous for fighting.

This undoubtedly satisfied Landrich and made him proud. If he were Parsifal, he could have done the same, but he would definitely not be as tactful as Eberhardt.

Eberhardt sent Priscilla to take care of some matters, and touched his abdomen. He had been busy all day without eating a piece of bread or drinking a sip of water.

From the beginning, Erberhardt had been standing on the outskirts of the hall, observing the interactions between the nobles and looking coldly at their corruption and filthiness.

“Wear a hat when it’s cold” seemed to be very common in that era, and it was true for both commoners and nobles.

Everyone knows that the mess between them has turned into a big hodgepodge.

There are also cases where a master dies suddenly on his mistress' belly, and a widow seduces a young master who is inexperienced in the world in order to gain new support. It is not uncommon.

If these things happened in Liyue, they would be considered as going against propriety, morality, and integrity, and if they happened in Mondstadt, they would also be considered as a shameful thing.

But the nobility has become rotten meat with only skin in it, it is decaying and stinking.

Apart from personal morality, the nobles would chat about what collectibles they had recently found, and they showed no concern for people's livelihood.
