I see myself in Genshin Impact

"At the same time, let me tell you something more. Do you know who I learned my swordsmanship from?"

After Merlin said this, he picked up the staff in his left hand and knocked it on the ground: "My teacher is the sword master who once roamed Mondstadt and is known as the strongest doctor in the world - Shining! She also has A demihuman with a pair of slender horns.”

"A large number of subhuman races are actually related to non-human beings from their fathers, mothers, and ancestors. However, they can transform into human forms, combine with humans, and give birth to offspring. If the blood power is strong enough, they will live forever. It was passed down, and as time went by, it developed and grew, and then turned into a race. The Kainz family also started with a small number of people who continued to combine with humans and slowly multiplied and grew. However, the subhuman race is always human. Part of that is indivisible.”

"Aha……"

Yu Piaoling looked at the dancing Merlin in disbelief, and something he had never heard of was forced into his mind. At this moment, he was sighing that Merlin might be very old, he must be at least five hundred years old, right?

"The water in Teyvat is really deep... Can I really be the next king in the future?"

Yu Piaoling suddenly felt that he had a long way to go.

Chapter 208 King of Knights: The First Life·Are you teaching Feng Shen how to do things?

"Oh no! There's so much information!" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"Is there a Rhodes Island outside the border?" - Mondstadt Villager B.

"Deep Sea Hunter, when I hear the name, I feel very domineering. It's also a killer whale. I always feel that a creature named after a tiger must be very domineering. The killer whale lady must be eight feet tall and have an eight-foot waist, right?" - Liyue Villager A.

"Longmen Guards Bureau? Do we still have such an overseas organization in Liyue Port? Prince Yan is so awesome, he even extended his hands overseas. I wonder if Sir Chen from the Guards Bureau is the same as Lord Keqing? ?”——Liyue Villager B.

"Listening to what he said, it seems that demi-humans are not uncommon. Our famous outlaw in Liyue Port, Lawyer Yan Fei, is also a demi-human, isn't he?" - Liyue Villager C.

"You're stupid! Demi-humans are called Merlin, but here we call them half-immortals!" - Liyue villager D.

"Oh, have you forgotten? Speaking of half-immortals, there is another one here who is closer and has been around longer! She is the secretary-general of Yuehai Pavilion in Liyue for more than 2000 years - Lady Gan Yu! ”——Liyue villager E.

"Humph, we Inazuma also have one. The Lord Shrine of the Narukami Taisha Shrine - Yaegamiko, is not only a demi-human, but also a big monster!" - Villager A of Inazuma.

"Haha! The shrine maiden of our Kaiji Island is not ordinary either. Her body is filled with the blessings of Lord Orobus, and her bloodline is also extraordinary. It is said that she has a fish tail..." - Inazuma, Kaiji Island· Villager A.

"No, I'm not, I didn't..." - Inazuma, Kaijijima, Coral Palace Heart Sea.

The barrage went crazy at Merlin's words. Many people were noisy, as if many people on Teyvat suddenly awakened their extraterrestrial attributes. At this point, the more they talked, the weirder they became. Gradually, the topic began to turn to the steering wheel. Shit, finally the barrage calmed down after the Qianyan Army, the West Wind Knights, and Inazuma's Heavenly Leader all spoke up.

After roughly listening to Merlin's words, Yu Piaoling nodded. Although he lamented that the water in the world was very deep, it had nothing to do with him now.

"So that's it. I understand why you can appear in my dream. So what is the dragon factor?"

"Dragon factor, didn't I explain it to you before? It is the legacy left by Lady Vanessa Pendragon, which has been integrated into your body..."

However, Merlin was stared at by Yu Piaoling's gaze, with a look of disbelief on his face. Merlin had no choice but to stop talking. Although his mouth was pretty much the same, he still felt that it was not an option to continue to deal with it like this.

"call……"

Merlin let out a long sigh, then moved his right hand, and two stone chairs appeared behind them. Merlin motioned for Yu Piaoling to sit down, and then he also sat down, and began to speak with a heavy expression.

"Five years ago, after King Uther fought with the White Dragon King Vortigern, he exhausted the remaining power in the Crown of Stars to defeat Vortigern. However, he was also seriously injured. With the support of the royal family, Some magic and secret techniques were used to barely survive, but even so, they were only supporting a body that was about to collapse at any time, because the flames of White Dragon King Vortigern were too strong and burned most of the organs in his body... "

"At that time, White Dragon King Vortigern was also seriously injured, but for the Demon God, his recovery power is very fast. Even if Mondstadt is the territory of the Wind God, he can still recover under the suppression of thousands of winds. It will only be extended for more than ten to twenty years. For the demon god with a long lifespan, the other party can afford to wait, but King Uther cannot afford to wait."

"At that time, King Uther's daughter was still too young to take over the throne, so he sent me to the Temple of Thousand Winds to find Lord Barbatos, the wind god who had disappeared in Mondstadt for thousands of years, and seek help from her. Help and guidance!”

"Everyone in Mondstadt knows that Lord Barbatos is in the Temple of Thousand Winds, but in the past, anyone who looked for her found nothing, because the realm of God is not so easy to cross."

"So, you found it?"

Hearing this, Yu Piaoling asked curiously.

"Yes, although this journey seems to be very bumpy, and I have encountered many monsters and monsters blocking the way. After all, many people hope that Mondstadt will continue to be chaotic, but I still rely on my own strength and the support of the guardian knights. We resisted desperately, fought our way through, and finally arrived at the Thousand Winds Temple."

Having said this, Merlin had a sad expression on his face, as if recalling the thrilling experiences in the past, even Yu Piaoling felt the same.

"I thought I would be tested, or like people in the past, unable to step into the realm of God and return empty-handed, but the amazing thing is that I didn't encounter any test, and just entered... There were no mechanisms or anything inside. There was no obstruction or test, and I easily met Lord Barbatos's retinue, Tevalin, and explained my purpose to him, and then he invited Lord Wind God out."

When Merlin said this, he suddenly looked at the sky with admiration: "Lord Barbatos must also be observing the wind in Mondstadt, so he canceled the test when he noticed my arrival, otherwise it would not be like this. Good luck! Thank you Wind God, she has always been the patron saint of Mondstadt."

"Since she is the patron saint of Mondstadt, why doesn't she kill the White Dragon King?"

Yu Piaoling frowned and asked: "Is that easy for her? No one in Mondstadt can challenge the authority of the Wind God, not to mention that she is the only god in Mondstadt. Isn't this her responsibility?"

This question has been in Yu Piaoling's heart for a long time. He has always been puzzled as to why he wanted to take over the throne of Mondstadt and why Master Fengshen didn't take action himself. In Liyue Port next door, the rock god Morax doesn't show up every year. Is she here to guide the people in the right direction? Why doesn’t she do this?

"Altoria."

Merlin listened to Yu Piaoling's words and turned to look at her coldly: "Are you teaching Mr. Fengshen how to do things?"

"what?"

Hearing Merlin's words, Yu Piaoling was even more surprised: "Why is it going there?"

"Ha ha……"

Merlin put away his cold attitude and chuckled: "Actually, all of this is the trouble our Mondstadt royal family brought upon ourselves a hundred years ago. Otherwise, the current scene would never have happened..."

"The Star Crown left by Lord Barbatos contains enough energy to be used for ten thousand years. If it weren't for the civil strife that year, the Cricket White Dragon King would have been bombarded to pieces!"

Then, Merlin shook his head and looked at Yu Piaoling with a solemn expression: "Artoria, you have to know that no one loves Mondstadt more than Lord Fengshen. As the Fengshen of Mondstadt, she is very qualified. She left the Star Crown and issued an oracle to make Lady Vanessa Pendragon the king. Although she seemed very frivolous at the time, she was fully prepared. She longed for freedom, and she became the king from the beginning. There is no intention to constrain the direction of our Mondstadt progress.”

"You just said why she doesn't come out to guide mankind once a year like Morax, the God of Gold in Liyue Port, right? It's not that she can't, but that she doesn't want to. As the God of Thousand Winds, she It will encourage people to pursue freedom and move forward, but it does not want people to be dominated by the god of freedom and become unfree."

"Artoria, the reason why we Monds believe in Lord Barbatos is because she has brought us the most valuable thing - freedom. You must remember this."

Chapter 209 The King of Knights: The First Life·Dragon Factor

"As for what you asked, why didn't Lord Barbatos personally kill the White Dragon King Vortigern? In fact, for her, that was an easy task, but the cause of this incident was actually the initiative of a certain northern noble. , this is actually our own responsibility..."

"Lord Barbatos is the god of wind. If a foreign demon takes the initiative to invade Mondstadt, she will naturally take action without hesitation. But if she is invited by the people of Mondstadt, it will be difficult for her to take action. It doesn't matter because of the contract and the Human beings have their own responsibility, and this is also a kind of human freedom..."

"Since this is the case, Lord Barbatos will also respect this freedom..."

When Merlin said this, he sighed helplessly: "You can still live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil on your own..."

"So it's the consequences of the Mondstadt people's sins themselves. Do you need to taste them yourself..."

Yu Piaoling said helplessly after hearing the real reason.

"Damn it, these contents were not revealed in the video of the last episode of Wind God Oracle!" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"The amount of information suddenly increased. It turns out there is such a reason behind it. I asked why Master Fengshen didn't take action to eliminate the White Dragon King Vortigern. It turns out there is such a consideration." - Mondstadt Villager B.

"I was very confused when Merlin was able to enter the Thousand Winds Temple unscrupulously. If it was so easy, why didn't others look for Master Fengshen? It turned out to be because of the test." - Mondstadt villager C.

"Sure enough, no matter which world the Lord Fengshen is in, he loves the people of Mondstadt very much and respects the freedom of the people of Mondstadt." - Mondstadt villager D.

"This kind of freedom can also lead to excessive behavior. Whether it is the perverse rule of the Lawrence family a thousand years ago, or the introduction of the White Dragon King Vortigern a thousand years later, it is true that humans are the kind of creatures who heal their scars and forget the pain... They are not seeking death. , just a crazy temptation on the verge of death!" - Mondstadt villager E.

With Merlin's explanation, the audience also knew the underlying reasons that were not revealed in the previous episode of the Oracle of the Wind God, and they all posted comments to express their opinions. However, the video did not stop there and continued to play.

"Well, besides, this is also a test given to you by Master Fengshen."

Merlin looked at Yu Piaoling and continued to explain to him the origin of the dragon factor.

"Originally, Master Fengshen is very difficult to deal with the current external environment, and she has already experienced two failures, in the Lawrence era and the Pendragon era, so she is looking for a new way to protect Mondstadt once and for all. .”

"The cause of all this is that Master Fengshen wanted the Mondlanders to rule the Mondlanders by themselves. Thousands of years ago, Master Fengshen did something conveniently and left the cause of the dragon factor."

“And if we want to go back further, we have to go back to Lady Vanessa’s time thousands of years ago.”

"In our Mondstadt, the place where you can still see the traces left by Lady Vanessa is the big tree in Fengqidi. That big tree was planted by Lady Vanessa herself, and it was planted at the end of her life. At that moment, she came under the big tree again and shed a tear, which fell on a rock."

"Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, was watching Lady Vanessa's final moments. Seeing this, he cast the tear into a magical shape, that is, using the tear as a carrier, Vanessa's feelings about it were transformed into Mond's emotions were put into it, and with the help of Lady Vanessa's legend of the Red Dragon Queen, they were continuously gathered and sublimated to form a soul concept equipment."

"It was an unexpectedly growable artifact that could only be achieved by chance. However, the essence of the artifact was not revealed at first. Instead, it was buried inside the stone, and it quietly suffered from the wind under the big tree in the wind. Blow and rain.”

"In the following time, after absorbing enough legends, that tear finally sublimated into an artifact. It was one of the three treasures left by Lady Vanessa, and the other two belonged to Lady Vanessa. The sword, the Wind Eagle Sword, and the Star Crown, both of which have been passed down from generation to generation by the Pendragon royal family."

"That tear was named Dragon Factor by Master Fengshen, which means it is the crystallization of the Red Dragon bloodline and symbolizes the embodiment of Master Vanessa's will to protect Mondstadt."

"So this is how the Dragon Factor came about."

Yu Piaoling nodded. Although he did not see the entity of the Dragon Factor, he knew the changes in his body. Based on Merlin's explanation, the Dragon Factor should have been integrated with his soul, or loaded into his soul?

He didn't know the specific situation, but that didn't mean that he couldn't deduce it, and Merlin would continue to tell him the truth, although he didn't know if Merlin still had any reservations, or if Lord Fengshen had a backup plan for the Dragon Factor. , but upon careful consideration, it turns out that a casual layout a thousand years ago can solve Mondstadt's death situation a thousand years later. The Lord Fengshen may not be as simple as described in the legend...

[Maybe the seven rulers in the world are not simple. The older they are, the more powerful they are...]

Yu Piaoling secretly became wary.

"The dragon factor is a very pure soul concept equipment, so it must be integrated into the body of a newborn baby. Because the older you get, the more the mind will be infected by the filth of the world and be repelled by the dragon factor. This is also true. It is your possible biggest opponent in the future. The reason why Lisa Morgan Pendragon did not successfully fuse is because she was born too early. In other words, there is no place for her in the future destiny of the Mondstadt... "

"Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, gave me the key to unlock the Dragon Factor, so after I took out the Dragon Factor, I began to search for all the descendants of the original Pendragon family in the entire Mondstadt Empire."

"Mistress Vanessa has never been married, but she has many relatives and brothers and sisters. The one who finally succeeded her to the throne was the son of a certain sibling. Most of her blood relatives became nobles after Vanessa succeeded to the throne, or Serve as an official in the palace of Mondstadt."

"But for thousands of years, the conflicts between the new nobles and the old nobles have been constant. In addition, many blood relatives have gradually declined and lived among the people. This has led to the Pendragon family spreading to the entire Mondstadt area. Today, thousands of years later, it is no longer It’s hard to find.”

"So my first task at that time was to use the Dragon Factor to find other scattered descendants of the Pendragon family. Finally, after a few months, I found you. Although your father is from Liyue, you His mother is a pure-blooded descendant of the orthodox Pendragon royal family."

"At that time, a group of thieves had just looted the small village of Avalon where you were born, and your parents also died there. After I arrived, I asked the guardian knights to clean up the thieves' gang. Then the dragon factor merged with you, and according to the wind god According to Lord Barbatos, the dragon factor requires a five-year adaptation period. It will grow with you. When you are more than five years old, it will be completely bound, release the energy in it, and begin to transform you. body of."

"Now that you know the origin of the Dragon Factor, do you have a correct understanding of your own power and responsibility?"

"As a fusion of Lady Vanessa's tears, you are the current incarnation of the Red Dragon Queen in Mondstadt. No one is more qualified to rule Mondstadt than you, because you have Vanessa's approval!"

"And Master Fengshen hopes that you will unify Mondstadt in the future, drive away the White Dragon King Vortigern, and continue to rule until the end of time..."

Chapter 210 The King of Knights: The First Life·The Secret of the Wind Eagle Sword

"So, you said that I will become the king of Mondstadt because I successfully integrated the dragon factor?"

Yu Piaoling asked.

"Yes, and I have searched for almost all the descendants of Lady Vanessa in Mondstadt, and you are the only one left who can be fused, not only because the time of your birth is very clever, but also because your blood is pure, Lady Vanessa There are no descendants, so in theory any descendant of Pendragon can do it. Over the past thousands of years, the throne has been transferred to his blood relatives several times within the Pendragon family. His Majesty King Uther's grandfather originally also He is just a prince who does not have the right to inherit the throne, so it is natural for you to take over the throne in the future."

"Coupled with the oracle of the God of Wind, you are actually the only legitimate successor left in Mondstadt, and that day will come in ten years."

"Ten years later?"

Yu Piaoling frowned and asked, "So fast?"

"We don't have time, Artoria."

Merlin shook his head and sighed: "The White Dragon King in the north only needs another ten years to return to his peak state, and King Uther only has about ten years left to live. For you, you must To support the future of the Mondstadt Empire, this may be your only choice."

"..."

Yu Piaoling subconsciously ignored the word "possible" in Merlin's words, because he had already decided to shoulder his responsibilities ever since he started wearing women's clothing. Now there was no one around, so he asked all the questions in his mind. Only by coming out and solving the doubts in his heart can he move forward better.

"You just said that my princess, Lisa Morgan Pendragon, can actually be regarded as another heir to the Mondstadt Empire, right?"

"Yes."

"You said that my biggest opponent in the future is likely to be her, why not White Dragon King Vortigern?"

"The fused energy brought to you by the Dragon Factor is huge. Master Fengshen will not aim at nothing, so it is certain that you will be able to deal with the White Dragon King Vortigern in the future. But Lisa Morgan Pendragon is different. She Her desire for power is too strong, and now she is recruiting people to prepare for the future. Coupled with an incident that happened in history, according to my analysis, she will become your biggest opponent in the future, even if you are temporarily convinced. You might just be pretending..."

"Then I won't be the king in the future. Can't I secretly kill the White Dragon King Vortigern and let her become the king?"

Yu Piaoling proposed a seemingly simple solution, but it was met with ridicule from Merlin: "Why do you think that the other party will accept your choice and proceed according to your ideas? Is this a deal? Is it true? A contract?"

"I can go find her..."

"a√√√, you can go to her, you can say that you have no desire for power, don't want to be the king, and just want to kill the White Dragon King to protect Mond, but what will she think?"

Merlin coldly interrupted Yu Piaoling's simple and naive thoughts: "Which king would allow a being within his sphere of influence who could easily rush into the palace and kill himself to move freely? Which king would allow a person with a higher reputation than himself? Living a casual life among the people? Especially when that person was fused with Vanessa's dragon factor, the incarnation of the Red Dragon Queen. In the end, Lisa Morgan Pendragon ostensibly became the king of Mondstadt, but there was a shadow above her head. Will she feel better if I keep suppressing her personally? Will she be dismissive?"

"..."

After being educated by Merlin, Yu Piaoling was speechless. It was impossible for him to accept this kind of thing, let alone Sister Lisa Wang, who Merlin said had a strong desire for power. If he gave in, he would be in trouble in the future. There may be a fight between the two tigers, and the people of Mondstadt will suffer when the time comes. Sure enough, the best choice is to become the king yourself. Although I am very sorry for Sister Lisa, this is the fate.

"Have you figured it out?"

Merlin asked after looking at Yu Piao Ling, who had regained consciousness after thinking for a while.

"I understand, Merlin, I won't run away anymore. Since Mondstadt has only one future, and Lord Wind God has issued an oracle, then I will take over the throne in the future."

Yu Piaoling nodded heavily.

There is another thing that neither of them said, but they also knew it well, that is, Lisa Morgan Pendragon still has time. In the next ten years, when Yu Piaoling accepts Wang's teaching, When the White Dragon King Vortigern had not recovered from his injuries, and when King Uther was still alive, she led people to destroy the White Dragon King. Then she could naturally take over the throne of Mondstadt, which was also possible.

As long as she can do it, because that's what she deserves.

But if you can't do that, don't pick peaches after the rain comes out!This is exactly what Merlin will teach Yu Piaoling next.

"By the way, Merlin, you keep talking about the rebellion a hundred years ago. What was that incident? Why did it trigger the decline of the three old nobles and countless new nobles?"

Yu Piaoling asked the question in his heart, because there were stories about the three old nobles in Mondstadt's fairy tale book. Whether it was the Lawrence family, the Gunnhild family, or the Lygenfender family, they have all disappeared now. Lygen Although there are still members of the Finder family, they have also changed their surnames. What happened to make Merlin so fearful of Lisa's actions, or even what he meant, if Lisa Morgan Pendragon was just a Ordinary princesses seem to have no problem. The fault is that they have too much desire for power?

"Hey……"
