Youya had also tried to ask Mr. Voice whether this group of people posed a threat or influence to her.
But His answer was, yes and no. As long as Youya didn't actively choose to get involved with them, they wouldn't affect her.
With this "guarantee", Youya felt more at ease, but she was still not used to this "welcome" life.
Putting aside trivial thoughts, she searched for the girl with the fiery red rabbit ear headband while looking at the books in the numerous bookshelves.
Among them, one book entitled "History of Kings and Royal Family" caught her attention.
It was placed right within reach of Youya.
This is an academic book that focuses on depicting the long and eventful history of Mondstadt in detail, co-authored by the Northern Continent Historical Society.
The book is divided into three parts:
"The King of the Gale Tower and the Wolf King of the North Wind" mainly describes the history of the struggle between the frost kings of old Mondstadt before the coming of Barbatos;
"Mondstadt's Pioneer Era" mainly tells the history of the pioneering of the ancestors and nobles of Mondstadt on this land after Barbatos gave Mondstadt a new life.
"Tyrants, Nobles and Rebels" mainly tells the story of the long rule of the old nobility in Mondstadt.
This surprised her a little. Logically speaking, given what Lawrence had done, it was normal for history to be constantly stigmatized by later generations.
But from this book, it is surprisingly objective and practical?
Moreover, these are books open to the public for the benefit of the people of Mondstadt. Books like these are not isolated cases, but are displayed here openly.
It not only commends and praises the excuses made by the Lawrence family in the pioneering era, but also strictly criticizes the actions of the old aristocracy during their rule, and even deeply analyzes why the old aristocracy did not allow civilians to carry guns.
A gun can reduce the risk of fighting a sword wielder and even close some training gaps.
Lawrence, who wanted to maintain his dominance, would naturally not allow such weapons that could threaten them to appear among the people.
From Youya's perspective, this book really makes her read it with great interest.
However, it also caused her another confusion. Since the Knights Templar did not completely denounce the Lawrence family on the cultural level and in public opinion, it meant that Lawrence actually always had the opportunity to "clear his name."
Something like hatred may be impossible to wash away over generations, but Lawrence, who has lost his minions and can only maintain the existence of his family in a scattered manner for hundreds of years, is still being treated with such intense hostility today.
It was probably also influenced by some external factors, but she couldn't say for sure what the purpose of maintaining such a "former internal enemy" was.
After all, if the Knights wanted to, someone like Youya, who had not learned much about political tactics, could come up with a lot of ways to tame Lawrence.
A differentiation and purification strategy would make these self-righteous guys fight tooth and nail for the position of clan leader.
(Now, we need to point out a person who truly inherited the bloodline of Lawrence's ancestors, and let him return to Mond to serve as a "high-level official" to be tested by the people, proving that the descendants with the blood of sinners also have the freedom to follow the God of Wind -)
The reason why they didn't do so was probably because these knights truly possessed noble character.
Retracting her divergent thoughts once again, Youya closed the book and prepared to borrow it back to read carefully.
After this little episode, she finally caught a glimpse of the fiery red rabbit ear headband. Amber was pouting and confronting the little girl with blonde hair and emerald eyes next to her.
"My sister is very smart! She can understand any book, it's definitely better than giving it to you!"
"How dare you humiliate the Princess of Judgment like this? Haha - I will definitely banish you and your stupid red rabbit ear headband to the rift of another dimension, so that you can fully experience the fear of being chased forever by the beast of the abyss!"
Just hearing the title "Princess of Judgment", Yuya's DNA began to play certain fragments.
She had seen this sister before.
Chapter 79 Let’s Call Each Other by Name
Amber and the lovely Miss Fisher were still arguing fiercely.
Amber, whose literacy was obviously not as good as Fischl's, was already covering her head, unable to keep up with Fischl's pace, and could only mumble.
"Dimensional rifts, abyss beasts... Ugh, I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, give me that book. This is the book I want to give to my sister!"
"Stupid and ignorant red rabbit, not to mention the first-come-first-served rule in the world. This book containing the forbidden knowledge of the universe is definitely not for ordinary people to read. Why don't you leave immediately? If you continue to be stubborn, this princess will show no mercy!"
Fischl was maintaining a posture that she thought was quite elegant and noble, and was looking at Amber with a disdainful look.
It's just a pity that her height is almost the same as Amber's. In fact, if you count the headband, Amber is even taller than her, so the princess's aura is very petite and cute.
At the same time, she didn't expect that the sister Amber was talking about was Youya.
After all, the two are very different in appearance and temperament.
Fortunately, Youya's arrival did make some noise.
The subtle bat-like sound made by the wheelchair attracted their attention. Amber was very familiar with this sound, but Fischl was startled.
She subconsciously made a defensive move, staring at the intruder with the vigilant eyes of a small animal.
Then, there was a look of surprise, and two blushes appeared on that cute little face. The originally arrogant attitude softened a little, but when Youya approached, he quickly pretended to be tough.
He just snorted lightly, then turned his head away proudly, as if he wanted Youya to say hello first.
Youya, who was thinking of playing a trick on her, smiled cunningly.
"Amber, I finally found you. Sister Eula was wrong about what happened before. I will ask her to apologize to you. Let's go back together."
"Eh...really? Hehe...I don't really care about it~"
Not to mention the easy-to-please Amber, the little princess next to her noticed that Youya didn't even say hello, so she cleared her throat and made a "cough" sound deliberately.
Then, Youya pretended to notice her and said with joy, "Isn't this the owner of the Pure Land of Dark Night, Princess Fischl von Rufuschloss Nafedot, the Princess of Judgment?"
"You, you actually still remember my real name?" Little Fischl's face flushed with excitement. She was very happy that her friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time could pronounce her name so accurately!
"Of course. It's my pleasure. After all, we had a very pleasant chat time together, didn't we?"
As always, Yuya winked at her playfully.
"That's right——"
Fischl smiled sweetly and came to her, allowing Youya to see the book she was holding, which seemed to be called "Fox in the Dandelion Sea".
However, Youya did not rush to ask her why she was competing with Amber for the book. Instead, she asked her about family matters as if she was chatting with her.
"May I ask if the Emperor and Empress of Youye are in good health?"
"Dad, ahem, my father's injuries have completely healed. He is now heading to the Night Patrol Beast territory of the "world" with my mother to investigate and prepare for the future crusade."
Fischl spoke very quickly, but she did not notice the gradually revealed surprise on the red-haired bunny girl beside her.
However, Amber was not in the habit of keeping her thoughts to herself, so she immediately asked, "Is Yuya a friend of this, uh... Princess Judgment?"
"Although I get along well with Princess Fischl, we only met once, so..."
Youya smiled shyly.
"I don't know if I am considered a friend in the princess's heart."
"Of course it counts!"
Almost as soon as Yuya finished speaking, Fischl answered impatiently.
In order to show their close relationship, she even almost stuck to Youya.
A scent similar to a mixture of flowers and ink was constantly emanating from Fischl, and it was unexpectedly quite pleasant.
Of course, she couldn't do anything like sniffing the little girl's scent with an intoxicated look on her face.
After creating a little physical distance, Youya smiled and said, "Then my answer is naturally the same as Fischl's."
"Is that so... Youya unexpectedly knows a lot of friends, and it was the same before..."
Amber suddenly fell into depression.
Yuya just squeezed her hand gently, motioned her to look at her, and said softly: "But only Amber has the experience of flying into the sky with others. To be honest, this is a first time that even Sister Eula has never had."
Although this statement may seem suspicious to some adults who should be facing the wall, it did make Amber change from "never adjust" to "definitely adjust".
It looks so beautiful that pink bubbles seem to be popping out of it.
However, for the great Princess of Judgment, these pink bubbles had no effect on her. She even ignored the ordinary "flying experience" and just continued chatting with Youya.
"Where did you go before? I went to the church to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Finally, a nun told me that you had been discharged."
When mentioning this, Fischer also looked a little depressed.
"I told my father about this, but he told me that you lived outside the Free City and that it was too dangerous there, so he wouldn't let me go find you."
"…I'm sorry. Because something unexpected happened in the family, they summoned me back. I'm sorry for not informing Fischl in advance."
Youya's answer made her feel better, and her attention was quickly diverted away from this.
"... Well, you've been calling me by my name since a while ago. You're really calling me a princess..."
She felt a little shy being called by her name so intimately.
As we all know, the real name of the Princess of Judgment does not exist in any characters in this world, and can only be pieced together through similar pronunciations and characters, but there are very few people who are qualified to pronounce her real name.
(To be precise, apart from her parents, no one else would call her Fischl...)
Therefore, being recognized by the first important friend in life is a happy yet shameful thing.
It even made Fischl feel like she was having a sugar dream.
Noticing the change in her expression, Youya asked caringly, "Hmm? I was thinking that since we're friends, maybe it would be better to use a more intimate name. If Fischl doesn't like it..."
"N-Never mind! Rather... I'm very happy, Yuya!"
Fischl dug her toes into the ground a little embarrassedly. This lovely and pure girl always gave Youya spiritual "healing" at the right time.
Unfortunately, she still had a lot of things to do, so even though she was reluctant, she had to say goodbye to Fischl for the time being.
After exchanging contact information and making an appointment to visit the library to read next time, Youya took Amber, who was still smiling foolishly, back to find Eula.
Chapter 80: The paper cup voice transmission of Teyvat!
Yegor was in a bad mood.
Or rather, his current situation forced him to be in such a bad mood.
From the moment he set out, the time he set for himself was not a vacation, but a business trip. He couldn't stay in Mond for too long.
If it was just a normal business transaction, he would have walked away long ago, but since it was a personal commission from the executive officer, he was now in a very...difficult situation.
First of all, in terms of time, he had not deceived the old man of the Knights before. He would indeed stay in the Goethe Hotel for a week, no more and no less, and he would have to be ready to leave when the time was up.
But now he was about to leave, and the old man had not come to see him yet. He was probably determined not to let him know the whereabouts of the wheelchair maker.
If he had enough time, he could just take it slow. He was still patient...but the current situation didn't allow him to take it slow.
It is impossible for Yegor to leave the family business alone for more than two months. Letting his wife do it will only result in his power and wealth being divided up.
Moreover, Yegor was unable to come up with any effective response. He and his wife had no children, and their marriage was just a matter of mutual family interests. There was no children between them to serve as an anchor for their relationship, so there was a natural barrier between them.
During this period, Xiao Youya, whom he wanted to find, also disappeared completely. No... Actually, he knew where she was hiding. She was in the Knights. He had this intuition!
But there was no way Yegor could reach out to the Knights Temperament, not to mention that he was just a large landowner in Solstice. Even if the Fatui of his motherland wanted to interfere in the security of other countries, they had to do so under a reasonable pretext.
Otherwise, no country would allow a foreign military organization like the Fatui to expand endlessly within its borders. Seriously speaking, over the years, the Fatui have been like sweet flowers, blooming all over the continent of Teyvat.
They can be seen everywhere, and are accompanied by mixed rumors, both good and bad.
There was no boycott simply because they were more likely to appear on the front lines of danger, throwing themselves into various dangerous places like the suicide squad.
From the perspective of a person from the Winter Realm, he could understand the Queen's difficulties in doing so, but he definitely could not say that he understood it. An action like declaring war on the world for the sake of "peace" was beyond the limits of what a layman like him could understand.
Yegor did not intend to guess the Queen's thoughts, nor did he want to offend any executive officer. He would try his best to complete their tasks and provide help to the best of his ability, but he would not really hand over his life and property.
And now, this private commission is likely to end in failure.
To say I have no regrets would be a lie.
But...it's not like there's really no chance.
Just as he thought, asking Ekaterina (Ms. Lei Ying) to go out and get information was the right choice.
The treasure-stealing group did contact him and expressed their willingness to cooperate.
Yegor pretended to agree to his request and was willing to complete the deal at the price in the contract, but he asked the treasure-stealing group to survive the turmoil before taking action.
Otherwise, he would be burdened with unnecessary suspicion and would also bring greater exposure trouble to the treasure-stealing group.
This not only made the thief not suspicious, but also made him much more polite. He seemed very happy for his consideration. After exchanging contact codes, he left in a hurry.
Yegor, on the other hand, was thinking with a blank expression.
Since cooperating with them would easily lead to him being misunderstood as an accomplice by the Knights, there was certainly no need for him to continue taking the risk.
