Seeker of Teyvat

Xin Yan asked curiously, "You seemed to be afraid of that girl just now?"

"It's not fear, it's disgust. Miss Xin Yan, you're not from Mondstadt, so you may not understand. Let me put it this way, the villain in the Vanessa legend that we have been translating is her ancestor."

"Yes, she is the descendant of sinners, and she always bears grudges. You heard it just now, right? We were just scared by her, but she wanted to bear grudges against us."

"There really isn't a single good person in Lawrence. I don't know why the Knights want to keep them."

……

Listening to the complaints of the bards, Xin Yan's eyes slightly fluctuated.

Although he didn't know why, Xin Yan felt that the girl just now was not bad.

When the other party held his hand and said that he would help him seriously, Xin Yan could feel the sincerity in his heart.

But the bards' accounts of Lawrence's evil deeds gave Xin Yan a sense of conflict.

"Do you know? In Liyue, there is a flower called lotus." Xin Yan suddenly said.

"Ah?" The bards were a little confused and didn't know what Xin Yan meant. However, they did not correct Xin Yan. In fact, the lotus was not only found in Liyue.

Looking at the doubtful expressions of the bards, Xin Yan's eyes sparkled: "Once, I asked the teacher of Tongwen Academy what he thought of my rebellious spirit."

The bards didn't know who the teacher of Tongwen Academy was, but they didn't interrupt and continued to listen to Xin Yan carefully.

"The teacher pointed to the lotus in the pond and told me that resistance is like the lotus in the water."

“Although you are stuck in the mud, you will never stop striving to become stronger and resist your origins, so that you can break out of the mud and be independent in the world.”

"Resistance is not some great thing. It is right beside us. When I heard you talk about Lawrence's story and saw Miss Eula Lawrence, I suddenly thought of this story."

"The Lawrence family is like mud, and Miss Eula is like a lotus born from the mud. She is fighting hard. Don't you see it?"

After hearing Xin Yan's words, the bards fell silent.

Eula has been a member of the Knights Templar for so long, and has even reached the level of captain. How could they not have seen Eula's resistance to the Lawrence family?

However, the surname Lawrence alone is not enough to gain the trust of the people of Mond.

Xin Yan looked at the silent bards without any dissatisfaction on her face. Although she didn't know how much the people of Mond hated Lawrence, she would not persuade them to be magnanimous.

After thinking for a while, Xin Yan said again: "After a while, when Miss Youla comes, I want to talk to her alone."

"This..." The bards hesitated.

Xin Yan waved her hand, interrupting the bards' words of persuasion: "I know you don't want to believe Miss Eula in your heart. This is because the Lawrence family has hurt you before, but I am different. I am from Liyue. I will talk to Miss Eula from an objective perspective."

"Back then, Vanessa rebelled against the old nobles who made her despair. Now Miss Eula rebels against the Lawrence family who made her despair. Isn't this a repetition of history?"

"I think that no matter what one's background is, it should not be a reason to deny those who resist unfair fate."

"Lady Vanessa was able to rebel against the old nobles as a slave. Now Miss Eula can also rebel against the family that imprisoned her as a descendant of a criminal, right?"

Listening to Xin Yan's words, the bards gradually hesitated. Finally, they looked into Xin Yan's pure eyes and nodded slightly.

"Well, Ms. Xin Yan, you are the creator of rock music, so you should have the right to choose the source of inspiration."

They were still unwilling to forgive Eula, who bore the name of Lawrence, so they found another angle as an excuse and agreed to let Xinyan and Eula have a private chat.

Xin Yan smiled happily: "Then let's quickly find the information and do the preparatory work first, which is also the prerequisite for the birth of a great work."

The bards were infected by Xin Yan's vitality and began to look for various information about her.

……

Looking at the gate in front of me, which is more dilapidated than in my memory,

Without any hesitation, Eula pushed open the ancient door.

In the sound of friction between the door and the door edge,

The door slowly opened, and Eula saw the old man standing and waiting behind the door.

"I knew you wouldn't keep me waiting for long." Seeing Eula, the old man smiled kindly.

Eula hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Grandfather."

"Come on, little Eula, there's no need to be so reserved. The way you rushed out of the door at that time was the momentum that Lawrence's children should have." A trace of nostalgia flashed in the old man's seemingly turbid eyes.

It's funny to say, but over the years, the most heroic scene among the children of the Lawrence family was when Eula obtained the [Seal of Solid Ice] and rushed out of the Lawrence family.

"Aren't you angry with me?" Eula did not approach the old man, but still stood there and asked.

The old man's calm face froze, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can I not be angry? Do you know? Little Eula, when you took off the [Mark of Solid Ice], I was so happy and delighted. I even thought that the Lawrence family would be revived in your hands, but..."

The old man's voice trembled slightly and turned into a sad low moan: "But you betrayed us. You ran away from the Lawrence family, joined the Knights of Favonius, and defected to our enemy. How painful it is for me."

Eula's expression remained calm. Performing was also a part of the nobles' homework. No matter whether they were happy or sad, they could switch freely. If a noble like her grandfather really believed in his emotions, Eula would never have rushed out of Lawrence's house.

Seeing Eula's expression unchanged,

The old man sighed inwardly.

Why did such an outstanding young man join the Knights Templar?

Those who stayed in the family were obsessed with past glory and couldn't even control their emotions.

Chapter 543: Unapproachable, Unforgivable, Unforgettable

Mondstadt,

In a dilapidated noble manor,

An old man and a young man, two figures facing each other at the door.

Facing the old man's sensational words, Youla didn't feel any fluctuation in her heart.

As the daughter of an aristocrat from the Lawrence family, she understands the shamelessness of aristocrats better than anyone else.

When she looks at people, she never looks at what others say, only what they do.

No matter what the old man in front of her or her grandfather said, Yula would not believe a word.

Unless he actually takes action.

"Speak directly, Grandfather. It's not the job of a nobleman to beat around the bush."

Youra looked at the other party coldly.

The old man sighed slightly: "You have grown up, little Youla, and you are better than the rest of the family."

After a pause, the old man looked at Youla and said, "If I hand over everything in the Lawrence family to you, will you still be willing to come back?"

As he said that, the old man looked at Youra with hope, hoping that the girl would nod.

Unfortunately, the girl remained indifferent: "Grandfather, Lawrence is hopeless in Mondstadt. Don't you understand?"

Thousands of years of entanglement, there is no telling how many grudges there are.

It is impossible for the people of Mondstadt to forgive Lawrence;

It was impossible for Lawrence to bow his head and admit his mistake to the people of Mondstadt.

Alternatively, Lawrence could become extinct in Mondstadt, completely change his surname, and perhaps still be able to live like an ordinary person.

Alternatively, Lawrence could overthrow the Knights and return Mondstadt to its old aristocratic period.

But at present, the second method is obviously unlikely to be realized.

"..." The old man's body became more and more hunched, as if the girl's words had once again taken away some of his spirit.

"Yes, there is no way to save the Lawrence family. They will either die slowly or fight to the death."

The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp,

He looked at Yora, his face was cold: "Yora Lawrence, if the family completely turns against the Knights, will you wield your sword against the clan members?"

Yora's heart trembled, but she still looked at her grandfather firmly and coldly: "If Lawrence still wants to poison Mondstadt, then Lawrence should be terminated by me myself."

"We are cold and noble and are not afraid of the wrath, and we are tough and calm and will not be shaken."

"Since Lawrence can no longer stick to these two beliefs, it's better for me to end Lawrence completely."

Yola's cold voice echoed in Lawrence's manor,

Some of Lawrence's tribe looked at her from a distance, with hatred and disgust in their eyes.

However, there seems to be a whisper floating in the sky,

Looking at the old man in front of her indifferently, Youla was ready to take action at any time.

Seeing the killing intent in the eyes of the girl in front of him, the old man finally regained his old appearance.

"Little Yula, we have been oppressed for thousands of years. Isn't the punishment for thousands of years not enough? Your people, your brothers and sisters, they just want to live like normal people."

The old man said in a sad voice.

Youla's eyes softened, and the cold color faded slightly.

"If you really want to live a normal life, then you should not continue to cling to the so-called glory of the past, put down the surname Lawrence, and return to the common people. People who are superior will never be accepted by everyone."

Whether it's a noble, a hero, or some big shot,

As long as he often appears in front of people,

He always looks aloof,

Then, the people of Mondstadt will never accept him.

The god of wind has given this place freedom,

People will worship heroes and praise the capable,

But they will never allow anyone to be superior.

The ancient nobles enslaved the people. It was enough once in history. Do you want to do it again? That is courting death.

"In that case, the surname Lawrence will really be gone." The old man's tone became increasingly sad.

Yora remained indifferent: "The glory that our ancestors once overthrew the tower was ruined long ago when they enslaved the people of Mondstadt. There is nothing to miss with a sinful surname."

Yula saw it very clearly,

As long as the Lawrence family clings to the name Lawrence, the people of Mondstadt will never forgive Lawrence.

This is targeted hatred that spans time, gender, words and books.

simply put,

How do you feel when you see a Japanese soldier wearing World War II military uniform?

It was probably the same as when the people of Mondstadt saw Lawrence with a noble family tree.

A blood feud.

If you admit your mistake obediently, I can still pretend that I haven't seen you as a person. I can at most scold you a few times in my heart, and everyone will be in peace.

But if you criticize me, can I still forgive you? The reason why I don't kill you is because legally you are still a human being, and it would be against the law to kill you.

Therefore,

Lawrence will never be forgiven until he lets go of his last name.

The old man was silent for a moment, then waved his hand in frustration: "I understand."

Then he looked at Youla with a forced smile and said, "You finally came back. Please stay and eat. I asked the chef to make your favorite snacks, which are all chilled."

It's a pity that the old man's invitation carries a dangerous signal in Yula's eyes.

"No, I still have something to do, and besides, I'm a traitor, aren't I?"

The old man's breath stagnated slightly, and finally he waved his hand in disinterest: "In that case, go ahead and get busy."

Yola turned around without hesitation and was about to leave.

The old man stretched out his hand, but in the end he didn't say a word of pity.

Yora left.

The middle-aged man ran to the old man from the corner,

"Father."

"Did you hear what I just said?"
