After generations, people felt that this eccentric king was a nuisance and they had to find a way to get rid of him. That’s when they met Barbatos.

The basis for your resistance is just a new territory opened up by Barbatos for you. This new demon god is the kind who doesn't care about things. He is much easier to control than the King of the Fierce Wind, Deakarabian.

The newly born demon god Barbatos had not experienced much of the ways of the world, and was quickly deceived by you, thinking that everything was the fault of the King of the Fierce Wind. Then you joined forces to kill the king you once served.

Now, as generations pass, no one knows the true appearance of the Wind God. Those who hold power do not want to give up that feeling.

Barbatos, the god of wind, became the former king of the fierce wind, Diakarabian. His existence was a bit of a hindrance. Mond needed a god who was completely controlled by those in power, not a god who would occasionally jump out and disrupt the rule of those in power.

Therefore, once the wind god Barbatos is confirmed to appear, he will die. Then kill the person who knows the real wind god, and then tell all the people of Mond that this bionic puppet controlled by the church is the real wind god. Do you think this plan is good?"

"Puff!" Captain Qin spat out mouthfuls of blood.

"The Wind God Barbatos should have said that he, like the Rock King, does not need to gather faith. So where did the faith power gathered by the prayers of countless people in Mondstadt go?"

"It can't be..." Qin looked at the beautiful bionic doll in front of her and spat out blood again.

"You guessed right. She can be said to be the pinnacle of bionic dolls. Although the power of faith she absorbed is very small, the amount accumulated over countless years has given her the strength of a mid-level immortal. Moreover, she should have special skills."

"I want to kill her. I must kill her." Qin struggled.

"Stop dreaming. You can't hurt her now. Let's go. It's time to go back. Someone found something wrong and came down to investigate." Lin Zixuan wiped off the traces of Qin's vomiting blood and carried her out of the room.

The woman in the petri dish opened her golden eyes, then slowly closed them.

After watching this video, the people of Mondstadt have gone crazy. Many of them knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, their faces filled with fear. How could this happen? Why did it become like this? On the surface, they believed in God, but behind the scenes, they were plotting to kill God. Our prayers were all for that bionic doll.

If this leader Qin hadn't told us this, when the church's plan was implemented, it would...

"This is too much. Do you think you're going to kill Wendy just because he's in the way?" Paimon stomped in the air angrily.

"Huh? You know the God of Wind? So cool!" Mona said excitedly.

"Yes! Isn't he there? The one wearing green and drinking wine on top of the house." Paimon pointed to the roof on one side.

"Um, this little boy with messy hair and the bard dressed in retro clothes, is he the legendary god of wind?" Mona looked at the place where Paimon was pointing.

"That's right!" Paimon put his hands on his hips.

Mona looked at this Wind God and recalled the fake Wind God just now.

"If I were a Mondstadt person, my faith in the Wind God would be shattered if I knew this was what he was like. I might even think that the fake Wind God was the real one."

"How can you decide who is the wind god just by looking at appearance?"

"Without anyone knowing, if these two gods are put together, I think the fake wind god will win."

"makes sense..."

The three of them sighed together.

The content of the video continues.

Lin Zixuan and Qin returned to her office and looked at the silent Captain Qin.

"Okay, I've told you everything you wanted to know. What can you solve? Even if you want to fight, you don't have the people, the funds, and no one believes you.

Don’t even think about sneaking into the underground of the church. Once you get in, you’ll probably just become a toy for other nobles in the Colosseum.

You should be happy that the Church has such a strong force protecting Mondstadt. You are a member of the nobility, your family has no worries about food and drink, your father and sister are also members of the Church, so you can say that you have the best of both worlds.

Follow the church's steps, kill the wind god Barbatos, and then pledge allegiance to the fake wind god, then good days will come. The slightly declining Gunhild will soon return to the top noble family.

More than 95% of Mondstadt's people believe in the church. The people you can recruit only account for less than 3%. Even if you pick out those who can fight, there are only a few left. Following the general trend, chopping off the wind god Barbatos is the best option."

"Devil! Get out of here!" Qin glared at the man in front of her.

"Okay! It seems that I am no longer welcome. Then let's replace the remaining intelligence support with other things. Let me think about changing it to equipment and weapons. I will keep an eye on you in Liyue!"

Lin Zixuan took out a large box from the space ring, placed it next to Qin's desk, and then left.

"Lord Barbatos, God of Wind, Lady Vanessa, please guide me on the way forward." The girl prayed.

After a while, Lisa knocked on the door and came in.

"Qin, how did the negotiations go? You were not present during the last negotiation before the signing of the contract documents. The person in charge of the negotiations from the Xuanyuan Chamber of Commerce asked for an exorbitant price, and the worst thing is that the nobles all agreed. This is 30 times the price you negotiated last time! There was no discount at all. It would be great if some of this extra Mora could slip through their fingers, so that I could buy a lot of new instruments."

"I... the negotiation broke down."

"What's wrong, Qin? You look terrible. No, you look much better than before."

"I was saved by him... He showed me a lot of things, and I'm really confused right now. Lisa, you're on my side, right?"

"Yeah." Lisa opened the barrier.

An hour later, Lisa's legs were shaking unconsciously, and she couldn't stop shaking. She thought about the pros and cons in her mind. This was a war that could not be won.

Lisa looked at the box he left behind. If there was a chance to win, she stood up with great effort and opened the big box.

"This is... a divine weapon and divine armor?"

A blue battle skirt and armor engraved with runes.

Golden scabbard and golden sword.

After looking at the detailed introduction inside, Lisa looked at Qin with suspicion.

Qin felt a little scared by her gaze, "What's wrong?"

“This is the betrothal gift!”

! ! ! ! ! !

Chapter 157 Darkening 3

In the video, Captain Qin stood up, walked to Lisa, and looked at the artifact in the wooden box.

Nameless Battle Skirt: Increases the wearer's strength, defense, speed, stamina, and elemental power. The armor completely ignores attacks below the peak of the "combination" level. Using a small amount of elemental power, you can fight in the air, on the water, and on the seabed.

Nameless Scabbard: The holder can quickly heal from any injury, and even the aging of the body will stop. After the scabbard is unfolded, it will be under the protection of the gods, and no attack can harm the holder.

Nameless Golden Sword: Transforms the holder's elemental power into a special beam of light that can destroy everything in one strike. The power depends on the holder's strength.

The people of Mondstadt stared at the introduction of the artifact in a daze. No wonder Lisa said it was a betrothal gift. Who would be so generous as to give away such priceless treasures?

"At that time, I was still very naive and thought I could rely on these artifacts to attack the church's underground. However, although the artifacts allowed me to reach the gate without any injury.

But the invincible golden sword could not break the defense of the fully opened gate, and the weak strength could not exert the power of the golden sword. More and more people were rushing down to the underground, and I had no choice but to evacuate the church first.

Then, the most ridiculous thing happened. I, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius and a loyal follower of the wind god Barbatos, was labeled a traitor to the wind god by the church and was wanted. I was stripped of all my titles, and my family cut off all ties with me.

With the help of the Knights, I managed to escape from Mondstadt. Wherever I went, there were almost no nobles or villages that believed in me or supported me. They all thought I was a traitor. Some people who sheltered and hid me kept dying.

Finally, I came to a place that no Mondstadt person would go to: the ruins of old Mondstadt. A few years later, with the material support of Diluc and other people who still trusted me, I reorganized a knight group.

They advanced from the ruins of Old Mondstadt to Mondstadt, winning battle after battle. They took control of the ruins of Old Mondstadt and Cape of Promise, and formed a united front to attack Mondstadt.

The church directly cut off my support. Lisa, Diluk, Kaeya, Eula and others were assassinated one after another, leaving me without any material support.

The poor Mondstadt people have long been sucked dry by the church and the nobles. If I continue to impose taxes, even the territory I have conquered may disappear.

Just when I thought we were going to have a protracted war, a message came that the Star-Picking Cliff had become a dead zone of storms, and anyone who entered would be torn to pieces by the storm. According to the records of the death of the demon god, it is very likely that the wind god Barbatos had been killed.

The person who followed from the sky confirmed my guess. The church directly dispatched this bionic doll. Its shape and posture gave people the feeling that it was exactly the wind god in people's minds. One-third of the new knights rebelled after seeing her.

But that bionic doll directly condensed a giant wind gun, causing the village and everyone in it to disappear from the ground forever. I was the only one left, relying on the scabbard of the artifact sword to survive.

With the help of the divine weapon, she couldn't do any harm to me. However, after several years of training, I could use the divine weapon to do harm to her. This was indeed the case. After fighting for a day and a night, I finally cut her into several pieces. "

The video switches back to the 'back then' perspective.

A flat land that was blasted out, with broken walls and ruins everywhere in the distance. The leader of the Qin group was holding his sword and gasping for breath, and there were unknown fragments on the ground.

After removing the protection of the divine sword sheath, she looked up at the sky with a look of joy on her face, and said slowly: "Finally, I won."

"Pfft!"

A hand pierced through Captain Qin's left chest from behind, and his heart was pinched by that hand, which then squeezed hard.

Captain Qin, who was spitting out blood, turned around and looked behind him. The bionic puppet was recovering quickly. He pulled the hand out of his chest, and the artifact scabbard quickly recovered Captain Qin's fatal injury.

The battle started again, and Captain Qin killed her again. Although the artifact scabbard could allow her to recover quickly and even prevent injuries, the consumed energy was not replenished. The high-intensity battle had already drained her energy.

However, Qin, who was prepared to prevent a sneak attack, saw something she couldn't believe. The bionic doll that had been chopped into pieces was resurrected again.

"You are pretty good as a mortal. Barbatos, the god of wind, only tried to kill me nine times before I killed him with one blow through the heart.

You can actually ignore my attacks, take my blow through the heart and survive, and kill me twice. You are not in good condition this time, and the next time we meet, you will die." After saying that, the bionic doll flew away quickly.

Qin looked around. The village where they were stationed had disappeared, and the main force of the new knights had also disappeared. She was alone again.

The church put the blame of massacring tens of thousands of people and villages on Qin. The "God of Wind" showed up to prove the church's legitimacy and correctness. Qin's conquered territory was almost untenable. Then there were countless retreats.

The highly maneuverable bionic puppet Pseudo-Wind God razed Captain Jean's old Mondstadt lair to the ground. The church once again pinned the blame on Jean. Jean could only retreat to Cape Oath and struggle to hold on to the little territory she had left.

However, the church did not take any action for more than two years, which made Qin, who was always ready for war, busy with the political affairs of this small territory, gradually relax.

until...

"Where's my scabbard?"

"I don't know! The door of the treasury is always locked." said the maid.

I usually wear a battle skirt. Inside the Eye of God is a golden sword. The scabbard used to be placed beside the bed. I have been busy with government affairs for more than a year, so I put the scabbard in the treasury. Today, I feel uneasy and want to touch the scabbard that has saved me countless times.

However, he found that the scabbard was gone. Did he take it back? Or was it stolen? Looking at this trusted maid with the same confused look, it shouldn't be her, right?

The next day, Barbara, who had grown into a beautiful lady, came to visit privately. As usual, the two sisters didn't talk much. Barbara kept talking about the church and brewed a special black tea for her sister. The archbishop said that this black tea would not kill her sister, but would only arrest her and put her under house arrest.

Barbara saw her sister drinking the black tea and prayed, "Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, please forgive Sister Qin's mistake!" The maid behind her saw this and knocked Barbara unconscious.

Qin, who had drunk the black tea, saw the maid's actions and was about to stand up and scold her, but suddenly she felt her body burning like fire.

The high concentration of demonic blood extracted from the beast hounds allowed Qin to enjoy the same treatment as Inazuma's former lover, Miyoshi, or even better. The special potion disrupted the elemental power in Qin's body, and coupled with the erosion of the demonic blood, her face turned into a demon-like one.

The roof was blown away by the wind, and the false wind god came.

And what she held in her hand was: Qin's scabbard.

It made Qin forget the pain in her body for a moment.

"Hahahahahaha!!! So that's how it is! You, you all betrayed me!"

"The heretic demon must die!"

"Free Mondstadt, free! Hahaha! I curse you to live forever in the slavery of the church. Dolls, do your job as slaves well, and never give birth to a mind or have thoughts of resistance, otherwise..."

"Puff!" The wind gun pierced through Qin's body, and countless wind blades turned Qin's body into a skeleton with only internal organs. The hand crushed Qin's heart again, and then she kicked her off the Cape of Oath.

The people of Mondstadt shed tears when they watched the ending of Captain Jean in the video. This ending is really unacceptable!

"Ah! What a sad ending." Paimon wiped his tears with a handkerchief he took out from somewhere.

“It’s a good story indeed.”

"Well, my water divination plate shows that Captain Qin's fate has completely gone in another direction. What a terrifying person to be able to change a person's fate." Mona did the divination again.

"How come you two have no sympathy at all?" Paimon said angrily.

"Because it's fake, this is probably Liyue's 'Fairy Shadow'." Mona comforted Paimon.

“Fake ones also make people feel sad!”

The scene suddenly switched.

"What is this? Could it be him? What a hateful person." 'Qin' took out a magic cube-shaped weapon and showed a look of surprise, which was seen by the people of Mond.

The screen switches again.

Vines on a small wooden boat scooped up the carcasses that had been fed to the fish and headed towards Liyue Harbor.

The small wooden boat docked, and Lin Zixuan looked at the corpse on the boat with a look of regret.

"It seems like I lost a lot on this deal."

Dozens of days later, on the balcony of a villa in Liyue Harbor, a white-haired Qin wearing a black dress was looking towards the north.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about Mond? The people in Mond treated you like this, do you still want to go back and help them?"

"I love Mondstadt, it's a free city-state. During this time, I have thought a lot. The knights who sacrificed themselves to help me became meaningless with my death. And I myself ended up being betrayed.

I wonder if Jean had died earlier. Wouldn’t so many people have died in Mondstadt? If they accepted the church’s slavery, at least they could still live.”

"In my opinion, you were wrong from the beginning. In Mond, no one knows the true side of the church, and no one knows what you plan to do. If you cannot let people know the situation and gain their trust, your struggle will have failed from the beginning.

Then, you actually chose the aristocratic route. As vested interests, will they let you break their interests? Does Mondstadt becoming a slave country have anything to do with them? They are aristocrats, and slavery has nothing to do with them. Only civilians will be enslaved.
