Seeker of Teyvat

"If you're free, I'll go with you."

Xin Yan left with the bard.

Wang Daoyi and the other two were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, Wang Dao smiled and said, "Xiangling, why don't you take Yunjin to find Diona? I'll go find Wendy to ask some questions."

Xiangling nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, see you tonight."

Xiangling knew Venti. They were already familiar with each other when they fought against the Wind Dragon together.

When Xiangling heard that Wang Daoyi was going to find Wendy, she naturally didn't ask any more questions.

He let go of Wang Daoyi's arm and took Yun Jin's hand: "Come on, Yun Jin, I'll take you to find my friend. She's really good at making drinks."

Having said that, he took Yun Jin away.

Wang Daoyi was left standing alone in the square.

After staying for a while, Wang Daoyi turned around and left.

Outside Mondstadt,

On an apple tree,

The little boy with white silk stockings sat on a tree branch, swinging his feet, holding a bottle of cider in his hand.

"You want to forgive Lawrence?"

Wang Daoyi's figure emerged under the tree.

Wendy seemed to have known that Wang Dao would come soon. She used a little force and jumped down from the apple tree. "Would you like some cider from the angels?"

"Have you paid?" Wang Dao glanced at the cider in Wendy's hand.

Wendy's face turned red. "Of course I paid. I sang at Angel's Gift for several nights."

"You'd better pay." Wang Daoyi did not take Wendy's cider, but took out two bottles of coconut wine from the Chen Ge pot and threw one to Wendy.

Wendy was not polite either. She put away her cider and caught the coconut wine that Wang Dao threw over.

"The desert coconut wine is really good." Wendy drank it in one gulp and praised it with emotion.

"If you like, I can have someone send a batch to you." Wang Daoyi said generously.

If the God of Wind can be bribed with wine, Wang Daoyi will definitely not be stingy with some wine.

Of course, Wendy shook her head slightly.

If the Emperor had offered to send wine, Wendy would have agreed without hesitation, because the relationship between them would not change because of some wine.

But now Wang Daoyi wants to send wine, and he even sends someone to deliver it from the desert. Wendy will not easily accept such a "gift".

"Okay, let's get down to business. Do you want to forgive Lawrence?"

As soon as Xin Yan arrived in front of the statue of the God of Wind, he heard the call of the wind. If this had nothing to do with Wendy, Wang Daoyi would not believe it.

And Xin Yan has now begun to compose rock music about Vanessa's legend. In Wang Daoyi's opinion, Wendy is guiding something.

If you are an ordinary person, you might think that Wendy is guiding Xin Yan to sing praises to Vanessa's rebellious spirit.

By the way, step on the Lawrence family again.

But Wang Daoyi didn't think so, for a simple reason: there was no need for Wendy to step on Lawrence.

To the God of Wind, Lawrence is also one of his people.

Whether they are ordinary Mond citizens or Lawrence, who is called a sinner, to Wendy, they are all his people and the ones he protects.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi guessed that what Wendy wanted to guide Xin Yan to do was not to step on Lawrence, but to give Lawrence a chance to be forgiven.

Of course, Wang Daoyi still doesn’t know the specific situation.

Wendy took a sip of the coconut wine, and the clear and sweet taste brought a smile to her face.

"Do you think Lawrence is guilty?"

Wendy asked this. He knew that Wang Daoyi must be aware of what Lawrence had done in Mond, and he wanted to hear Wang Daoyi's opinion.

"There is no point in asking me this question, Barbatos. As long as the people of Mond still believe that Lawrence is a sinner, then they are sinners."

Wang Daoyi said calmly.

When human voices come together, it doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong, it doesn't matter, the crowd will break through everything.

"Just like the changes that Eula made, everyone knows that she is doing good things, but there are still Mond citizens who hate her and even maliciously speculate that this is Lawrence's conspiracy to subvert the Knights."

"Whether Lawrence is a sinner or not is not important at all. What is important is whether the people of Mond are willing to forgive Lawrence, and whether Lawrence is willing to be forgiven."

Wendy was silent for a moment, then smiled and drank the wine in her hand.

"You're right. Let's see. Give Lawrence a chance and see if they are willing to make some changes."

After saying that, he threw the wine bottle in his hand away. A breeze blew by and the bottle turned into ashes.

"Want to go and see it together?"

The God of Wind extends an invitation.

Chapter 541: Ancient Family

Mondstadt,

Lawrence's last clan, a luxurious but declining manor,

The old man who had seen Xin Yan playing at Fengshen Square stopped in the no longer glamorous garden.

Although as sinners, the Knights confiscated a large amount of wealth and wealth channels from the Lawrence family.

But this ancient aristocracy does not lack Mora. They once ruled Mondstadt and accumulated terrifying wealth.

The reason why the manor is dilapidated is simply because they can't find the manpower to repair it.

In Mondstadt, Lawrence could not find workers willing to help them maintain the estate even if they had money.

Although he has money, he cannot buy services. This is one of the reasons why the Lawrence family has been unable to revive.

Their access to external knowledge is relatively imprisoned.

Although as old nobles, they themselves possess some knowledge that ordinary people cannot know,

But under the never-ending pace of time, it is only a matter of time before Lawrence, unable to acquire more knowledge, disappears.

Looking at the dilapidated garden in front of him, Old Lawrence sighed slightly. He knew that his body might not last many years. Now the most promising child in the family had fallen out with the family.

And the rest of the family seems to be useless.

This also includes his son who is looking worriedly at him from behind.

"Father, you seem to be in a bad mood." Behind the old man, a middle-aged man asked worriedly.

He felt that his father must have been angered by the untouchables' praise of Vanessa when they were in the square just now.

"Father, those untouchables don't know etiquette and don't know what taste is. You don't have to be angry with them."

The middle-aged man thought he had guessed the reason for his father's bad mood, so he spoke to comfort him.

The old man turned around and looked at his eldest son with some dissatisfaction: "Do you think I will be angry because of those people's praise of Vanessa?"

As the current leader of Lawrence's main line, the old man is very dissatisfied with the middle-aged people.

The middle-aged man was stunned. If the old father wasn't angry because of what happened just now, what else could it be about?

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Just as he was about to scold his eldest son,

But a breeze blew by, seeming to blow away the dissatisfaction in the old man's heart.

"Ah~" All emotions turned into a sigh. The old man looked at his eldest son again and said, "Go find Eula and ask her to come back to see me."

"What? Father, do you want to see that traitor?" The middle-aged man looked in disbelief.

For the old-fashioned Lawrence,

Yura is absolutely unforgivable.

Traitor is what Lawrence calls Yula internally.

"What? Do you have any objections to my order?" The old man did not give any explanation, but looked at the middle-aged man coldly.

After looking at each other for only three seconds, the middle-aged man retreated under the cold gaze of the old man.

"Yes, father, I will inform that traitor...Eula."

"Well, go ahead and leave me alone for a while." The old man's hollow voice sounded in the middle-aged man's ears.

The middle-aged man who had just been frightened by the old man's cold eyes did not notice the emptiness in the old man's tone. He just nodded and left the dilapidated garden.

After the middle-aged man left, the old man's originally upright body suddenly became hunched over, completely losing the aura that he had just forced the middle-aged man to do.

"Great Lord Barbatos, are we really wrong?"

The old man's heart is crying,

When he was young, he, like his eldest son, firmly believed that Lawrence's rule of Mondstadt was orthodox.

But as the years passed, the Lawrence family not only failed to revive in his hands, but became increasingly weak.

Even the only being of this generation with the Eye of God 'betrayed' Lawrence and joined the Knights.

This had a huge impact on the old man's faith.

In the common understanding of Teyvat, the Eye of God is the certificate of the person who is watched by the god.

Now, Lawrence, who was watched by the gods, chose the Knights.

This is a big blow to those who adhere to Lawrence's orthodoxy.

The old man's face was a little gray, but he quickly became indifferent again.

"Lawrence, you must not end in my hands."

Immediately, his eyes became more determined.

Above Lawrence Manor,

The light distorts, hiding two 'peepers'.

"What do you think of this old Lawrence?" Wendy asked calmly, unable to tell what he was thinking in his heart.

Wang Dao glanced at the old man below and shook his head slightly: "It's just a beast trapped in a cage."

A beast trapped in a cage, if it wants to be free,

Or, break out of the cage and kill those who imprison it,

Or, by exposing your belly to show surrender, you can gain limited freedom.

Wendy nodded slightly: "Yes, Lawrence is like a trapped beast now. I hope they can be free, but I don't want them to continue to conflict with other people."

"It's difficult. Thousands of years of hatred can't be solved so easily." Wang Dao shook his head. He had the right to speak on this point.

Just like the desert and the rainforest, how much effort he and Nacida made allowed both parties to gradually let down their guard and resume equal communication.

This is still the case where the two gods are balancing the water.

And the people of Mondstadt and the Laurence family,

There is no less hatred between them than between the desert and the rainforest.

For the people of Mondstadt, the Laurence family is the existence that enslaved them and is a symbol of sin. The Laurence family members all have the blood of sin.

For the people of the Lawrence family, from the glory of their ancestors to the current situation where they are targeted everywhere and discriminated against wherever they go, they have an increasing desire to return to the ancient era of rule.

The conflict between the two sides is almost irreconcilable.

For the people of Mondstadt to forgive Lawrence, the God of Wind must come forward in person to pardon Lawrence, but it is obviously impossible for Wendy to do such a thing.

His philosophy is freedom, freedom to hate, which is also a kind of freedom, so Wendy will not interfere.

"Then give me a chance. Part of the reason why Lawrence has not been forgiven by the people of Mondstadt for thousands of years is because they have become more and more stubborn in their family's old ways under the attack of the people of Mondstadt. Now, I will give them a chance."

As Wendy spoke, she reached out and plucked the strings.
