Reading poems from Teyvat

"what happened?"

Eula leaned on the sword, wiped the sweat from her face, and asked, a little breathlessly.

Shen Zhigui thought about it and it seemed that there was no need to hide anything, so he said, "There is an executive of the Fatui who wants to kidnap me and exchange her God's Heart with the Thunder God of Inazuma."

"Where's the executive officer? Did he escape?"

Shen Zhigui shook his head.

"Killed by you?"

Shen Zhigui nodded.

Eula was a little shaky at once, but she quickly reacted and took a deep breath: "Although Mondstadt is now protected by Tevarin and seems less empty, but if you kill an executor in Mondstadt, Zhidong will never let it go. You..."

She wanted to say something, but Shen Zhigui was not from Mondstadt after all, so there was no need for him to hesitate. After all, the last time it was purely because Keqing came to Mondstadt as an envoy of Liyue. If they really wanted to kill the lady directly, too many things would be involved and the impact would be too great. But now Shen Zhigui was just a traveler from Liyue. Even if Mondstadt wanted to settle the matter peacefully, it could only hand over Shen Zhigui.

Chapter 11: After Drinking, I Went to the South Terrace (Part 2)

"I need to report this to Captain Jean," Eula felt a headache when she saw the boy who looked calm and composed, as if he had just killed a chicken instead of being a glorious executive officer of the Fatui. She really didn't know how to deal with this, so she could only say, "You have to go to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, too!"

Shen Zhigui nodded.

Although he actually didn't think the Knights of Favonius could do anything.

It's just a way of smoothing things over.

In the original game, the lady led people to beat up their god outside the door of the Cathedral of Favonius, and the Knights of Favonius did not say much. I think their strength really did not allow them to do much. The enemy was strong and we were weak. In this case, what could they say? Not to mention that among the Seven Rulers of the World, Zhongli and Lei Yingying may still be able to suppress the Quartet without using the Heart of God, but for a god like Wendy, who was originally an elemental elf who followed the hero to defeat the previous Tornado Devil and then became the God of Wind, and then used his divine power to transform the environment of Mondstadt into a country with four seasons like spring, his power has probably declined to a certain extent after losing the Heart of God.

Even if he hadn't lost the Heart of God, he might not be that strong.

So in this case, perhaps the Knights of Favonius may not be willing to offend Zhidong, but would they really dare to offend Shen Zhigui, who has a good personal relationship with the Seven Stars of Liyue?

Not to mention that he was holding the long sword that Thor always carried on his body.

Although no one in Mond could recognize it.

But if Shen Zhigui really wanted to tell this fact, the Knights of Favonius would have to verify it.

Therefore, Shen Zhigui did not have any psychological burden along the way. As for the rest of the people, needless to say, Wendy, Ying and Paimon also seemed heartless. They obviously did not realize how much turmoil killing an executive officer in Mondstadt would cause. After all, in their eyes, the executive officers and the Fatui were the same. Even the Fatui had taken action, so what if they killed the executive officers?

Only a guerrilla leader like Eula, who had a little political sensitivity, would be worried. She kept thinking along the way. Finally, when she was about to enter Mondstadt, she turned around and glanced at the boy who seemed to be unaware of what she had done. Then she took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you leave?"

"Are you OK?"

Shen Zhigui said.

"Although Mondstadt now has the East Wind Dragon standing up to protect it again, it may not be of any use against Solstice," Eula said calmly. "If you leave Mondstadt now, after we announce the results of our investigation, they may only target you and not involve Mondstadt. So you can leave Mondstadt now and seek asylum in Liyue or Inazuma. The Knights of Favonius may not be able to provide you with fair treatment now. Even if you are detained by the Knights later, under diplomatic pressure, the Knights will probably hand you over directly to Solstice for trial—"

"Your words are not what a qualified Knight of Favonius should say."

Whether it is doubting the stance of the Knights of Favonius or persuading him to leave Mondstadt, it is putting personal interests above public ones.

Because the Fatui will definitely not just target Shen Zhigui.

“Not many people recognized it…”

Eula just said, and then glared at the boy again:

"Are you going to go?"

Shen Zhigui shook his head.

"why?"

Shen Zhigui subconsciously wanted to say something like "because of love", but that was too easy to cause misunderstanding, so he said, "Actually, I don't mind if you hand me over to Zhidong. I also want to go to Zhidong once."

Anyway, there is nothing good to go to in Xumi.

He had no interest in the remaining two kingdoms of water and fire.

If you go directly to Solstice, you might be able to face the legendary Queen of Solstice and learn about her plan to rebel against the will of heaven.

Anyway, he actually didn't like the way the Great Compassionate Tree King acted.

"Let the world completely forget me" or something like that.

Although Hegel said that "the only lesson mankind can learn from history is that mankind never learns from history", and Amuro also said that "human beings always repeat the same mistakes", perhaps the Great Compassion Tree King can indeed solve the problems of the Magic Scale Disease and the Dead Realm, but in the final analysis, if mankind forgets the harm of forbidden knowledge, and in the next millennium, or perhaps the millennium after that, someone will get the forbidden knowledge from the abyss again, what will happen then? Let this generation of grass gods sacrifice themselves like her, and let the world forget it once again?

But what’s the point of doing this?

Although what Shen Zhigui said was actually a bit of an easy thing to say.

After all, he had never suffered from the demon scale disease, nor had he suffered the torture of the death zone. From a rational point of view, using the "death" of a "god" to exchange for the peace of the people, even if this peace may not last long, but for humans who "live less than a hundred years", they only need to have peace in their generation, and they cannot control the affairs of the next generation.

But the short-lived species can think that way because of their physiological defects.

But since the Immortal Clan thought so, Shen Zhigui had to speculate on her short-sightedness.

Although for a demon god like the Great Compassion Tree King who loves humans to such an extent that he is even willing to sacrifice himself for them, such words actually have no meaning.

But then again, if the little Grass King who is now imprisoned by the Order Institute did not have a second Heart of God, she might not be able to unravel the secrets left by the previous generation of Grass God, and thus completely make the world forget the Great Compassion Tree King, and then clean up the forbidden knowledge, solve the problems of the Demon Scale Disease and the Dead Zone. Now that Sanbing is dead, the Order Institute and the Doctor's plan to create a god in the void may have to be shelved temporarily.

Not to mention that they now don’t know where to get the second Heart of God.

Although……

Shen Zhigui turned and looked at Wendy.

"how?"

Wendy asked in confusion, and then secretly used the element of wind to ask: "You want me to take action when they escort you to Winter?"

Shen Zhigui was too lazy to say that he still didn't want to show up in public even though he was already like this, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Aren't you afraid that you will be found by the Fatui's executive officer and have your Heart of God taken away?"

"It's just the Heart of God. It's not a big deal. If she wants it, I can give it to her. Just don't cause trouble for me and Mond again."

Wendy just said with a smile.

Shen Zhigui just shook his head: "Serving Qin with land is like trying to put out a fire with fuel. The fire will not go out until the fuel is gone."

Although it is more appropriate to say "Peace survives if you seek it through righteousness, but it dies if you seek it through compromise."

Chapter 12: Sitting and Feeling the Eternal Meaning (Part 1)

So even though Shen Zhigui really wanted to go to Solstice through the Fatui, he definitely didn't want to be escorted to Solstice to accept some damn trial. After all, if you talk about how advanced the legal system of Teyvat is, Shen Zhigui would probably sneer. Even though Liyue has Luo - no, Yan Fei, a half-human, half-immortal being who studies law, her existence is actually closer to that of a lawyer in feudal society, because the superstructure is ultimately determined by the economic foundation, and the law is the embodiment of the will of the ruling class, not to mention that Ningguang, the Tianquan Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue, can almost have the final say on matters of legislation, justice, and law enforcement. So in fact, Yan Fei's study of law can probably improve Liyue's laws to some extent, but this kind of competition is essentially just a word game between her and Ningguang -

cough cough.

All in all, Shen Zhigui is just seeking to take the initiative at the moment.

After all, he really didn't want to passively let the Fatui kidnap his friends and continue to cause trouble for him. Although Lei Dianying might not actually care about the ownership of the Heart of God, giving the Heart of God to people like Sanbing would only create more trouble. So now he should either kill all the Fatui, or at least get rid of one or two executives to make Solstice feel difficult and know that he is not someone who can be easily provoked, or he should go directly to meet the Queen of Solstice and have a direct conversation to resolve the situation completely.

Now we are just waiting to see who Zhidong will let take over the follow-up of the scattered soldiers.

……

The essence of man is the sum of social relations.

Although San Bing had never heard of this sentence, he had actually vaguely sensed the truth of it, so he wanted to force Shen Zhigui to surrender by kidnapping Shen Zhigui's friends, and then force Lei Diany to surrender through Shen Zhigui; and for San Bing himself, most of his current interpersonal relationships are related to the Fatui, as for his past, it had long since disappeared with the wind. Since he arbitrarily regarded the Five Transmissions of Thunder and Lightning as enemies, his social relationship with Inazuma was not that relevant, so his death first affected the Fatui within. Therefore, apart from the perpetrators of the murder like Shen Zhigui and the others who witnessed the truth, the first group to discover San Bing's death was the Fatui.

After all, in addition to the scattered soldiers, there were also many people who were sent to guard the stone chamber and suffered losses at the hands of Ying and Youla.

Therefore, the death of Sanbing and some of his subordinates was obviously due to the execution of his plan to kidnap Shen Zhigui's friend.

Although the lady has been expelled by Inazuma, she is not Shen Zhigui after all, and can go on a trip whenever she wants. She is still in Liyue. Because of Zhongli's contact with her, she has even begun to sign a contract with Zhongli about the Heart of God. Otherwise, Mondstadt's affairs should actually be her responsibility. Since even she is out of reach, let alone a martial arts fanatic like Tartaglia, the Fatui in Mondstadt are eager to find a suitable person to make a decision:

Should we continue with the strategy of dispersing our troops and try to obtain the Heart of Inazuma Thunder God through Shen Zhigui, or should we give up this strategy and let Shen Zhigui go?

Without the so-called devil-like executive officer, the Fatui in Mondstadt are not necessarily much better organized than the Knights of Favonius.

But soon, another executive took over Mond's affairs.

The person who took over was Dr.

Although it shouldn't be surprising.

Because the doctor has a lot of "slices".

Not to mention that before this, he had used the dragon incident in Mond to force Mond to accept the "conscription" of Winter Solstice. Although this conscription was actually to make Mond people serve as consumables for the doctor's human experiments, it was obvious that he would take over when the lady had no time to take care of Mond's affairs. At this moment, he hurriedly browsed the plan left by Sanbing, asked the relevant personnel, and then quickly found Shen Zhigui's crime scene. After a thorough investigation, he even dug out the remaining parts of Sanbing's body——

Even though it's just a pile of dust.

"Interesting."

He carefully twisted the remaining component in his hand that contained the unique power of the Skirmisher, and combined it with the information about the young man that the Skirmisher had ordered the Fatui to collect, he quickly deduced the truth.

Of course, in fact, any normal person can guess the truth:

Shen Zhigui made Lei Dianying come out of his pure land. Even if there were many accidental factors in the means he used, I am afraid that he must be able to challenge the Thunder God, whose martial arts are unparalleled in the world, with dignity.

He didn't know why San Bing's plan failed, but if he wanted to continue his plan, he must not just kidnap one person, but kidnap many of Shen Zhigui's friends to be safe. San Bing failed because of his stupidity. He could obviously defeat them one by one, kidnap the boy's friends to different places, make the boy run around in a hurry, and finally show his fangs. After all, the biggest advantage of the Fatui compared to the boy who likes to be alone is that they have enough people and are well organized, but San Bing foolishly chose that approach.

Although in reality he wouldn't have any expectations for the scattered soldiers.

After all, it was the Doctor himself who tricked the puppet into coming to Winter Solstice and made him an executive.

It shouldn't be surprising that a puppet that he could fool so thoroughly would do something so reckless.

So the doctor now has only one question:

Can Shen Zhigui occupy enough weight in Lei Dianying's heart? Can he be exchanged for the Heart of God? Is it worth it for Lei Dianying to provoke such an enemy and actually avoid the wear and tear of 500 years for the Heart of God? Of course, Lei Dianying may have to deal with the chaotic affairs in Inazuma for a short time and cannot spare his time for the time being, but Shen Zhigui is a person who acts casually and travels around in Teyvat. After what happened, once he wants to target the Fatui, he alone is enough to set off a bloody storm, and the Fatui may not be able to counter him.

Although it is not impossible to encircle and suppress him.

But if she could really get the Heart of God from Lei Dianying through him, after the news of his death came out, with new and old grudges added together, Lei Dianying might not continue to sit quietly in Inazuma. After all, it was the Fatui who had been secretly instigating civil strife in Inazuma all these years. Before, she might have had to stay in the castle tower because she had to deal with Inazuma's affairs, but after Lei Dianying was pulled out of Isshin Pure Land by him, given Imitation Isshin, and used to exchange for the Heart of God, the relationship between the two has probably reached a certain level after all these things. In this case, it is hard to say what Lei Dianying, who has always valued friends, will do.

Chapter 13: Sitting and Feeling the Eternal Meaning (Part 2)

"Ultimately, it's a matter of time."

If the conflict between the Fatui, these people and the gods can be postponed for a few years, they can concentrate all the hearts of the gods in a short period of time. Then, even if Lei Dianying wants to launch an expedition to hold them accountable, it will be after their supreme Queen of Winter rebels against the will of Heaven. If the Queen of Winter really succeeds in defeating the will of Heaven, then even if the remaining six gods want to investigate the various dirty conspiracies of the Fatui in the process of seeking the hearts of the gods, they are nothing but vulnerable chickens and pottery dogs. And if their queen fails, they will have nothing to say and will just die with the queen.

Therefore, it is feasible to obtain the Heart of God through Shen Zhigui to some extent.

But afterwards, the conflict between him and the Fatui must be suppressed.

Although it now seems that the conflict has begun to intensify.

But the doctor reviewed Shen Zhigui's life after he appeared in Teyvat——

Although it is a bit too much to describe Shen Zhigui's journey as a life story, because it has been less than a year since he came to this world, and in this less than a year of his journey, the doctor could not find the root of why he acted the way he did, just like his strange martial arts, and why his martial arts progress was so fast...

"Wait! His martial arts?"

The doctor suddenly thought of something:

"What if everything he did was an attempt to improve his martial arts?"

That's why he wanders around the various countries in Teyvat so erratically.

That's why his principles are so unpredictable.

Maybe he was just experimenting with his martial arts and then made a breakthrough during the experiment.

But even after thinking of this, the doctor believed that this had touched upon the truth to some extent, but he still had no way of finding Shen Zhigui's weakness:

After all, his martial arts and his own progress were too weird.

It's even more weird than the evil eye.

After all, there is a price to pay for using the evil eye.

But what was the price for that young man’s rapid progress?

What was he after he had advanced his martial arts to the end? Or, what crisis was chasing him, forcing him to make such progress, or else he would be doomed?

The doctor gently picked up the dust left by the parts of the skirmisher, carefully feeling the power that Shen Zhigui might have left behind. After all, he was still a rare academic executive of the Fatui. Although he was expelled from the Xumi Academy of Teachings, he was indeed a rare academic genius. So he quickly discovered the nearly destructive power that lingered in the dust and had not yet dissipated. This power was essentially incompatible with the current elements and even the abyss system, so he couldn't help but chuckle:

"Is it justice?"

It seemed as if they had a common enemy.

Although it's just speculation at the moment.

However, it is not impossible to get in touch with him once or twice to find out whether his martial arts are really incompatible with the elemental system.

There's no rush at this moment anyway.

Who knows, we might be able to cooperate then.

Anyway, if his martial arts system is not compatible with the elemental system, then wouldn't the more allies the better?
