Therefore, after paying taxes to Mond, people still had to pay a tithe to the wind god Barbatos.

"Bang!" A big handprint was left on the table. Qin was very angry.

"They collect taxes in the name of Barbatos, the god of wind, and the taxes are withheld layer by layer. Every church is making a fortune. No wonder the villagers don't come to the Knights of Favonius when they encounter disasters. The lives of the people of Mond are getting poorer and more miserable."

As shocking tactics and plans were exposed one after another, no one was happy, only heartbroken. The church had gone completely crazy, and despicable was not enough to describe it.

Near noon, Captain Jean reappeared in front of the church gate. The magic weapon in her hand lit up, and a purple mirror-like object appeared in front of the people of Mond again.

"From today on, the Church of Favonius will be expelled from Mondstadt. Church members with clergy positions will be hunted down by the Knights of Favonius.

The wind god Barbatos is in Mondstadt. I heard that the church has a confessional. I hope you can take the initiative to come to Mondstadt and confess your sins before the wind god Barbatos. "

The people of Mondstadt were stunned. What had happened? The church was expelled? And the clergy were required to come to Mondstadt and confess?

"The crimes of the church will now be announced. All the announcements and related documents will be made public under the witness of the wind god Barbatos. Master Xuan of Liyue will serve as the second witness to ensure that the public documents are not tampered with or over-embellished."

"Really? They made me and the Wind God Barbatos help with the work without our permission. But it has been dragging on for long enough, it's time to end it. Wood Release: Judgment Platform." Lin Zixuan complained.

A huge circular venue formed around the Wind God Square appeared in front of the people. The Wind God Barbatos played the strings in his hand and asked people to find a seat and sit down first.

This operation dispelled the doubts of countless people. The extremely powerful Wood Release and the voice that penetrated into the hearts of the Mond people proved that these two people were the real deal.

During the two hours of publicizing the results, people's faces gradually changed from heavy to angry, and then to crazy with red eyes. Barbatos used the sound of his piano several times to calm the people of Mondstadt.

"The mouse stipulated that the cat must catch mice in a fixed way and with fixed steps. The mouse also stipulated that even if the cat caught the mouse, it could not kill it and must keep it well.

Is this reasonable?

The church and some nobles, like those rats, modified the laws of Mondstadt. They committed a serious crime, arranged for people to massacre the village, and killed countless Mondstadt people. The modified Mondstadt laws did not include the death penalty, and they could return to their own territories to live out their lives by paying a little money.

Is this reasonable? "

“This is unreasonable!!!”

Countless Mondstadt people were angry again, and their voices echoed throughout Mondstadt.

"From today on, the standard for the death penalty will be re-established. Those who killed Mond citizens will be free. Then, who will bear the responsibility for the freedom of the murdered Mond citizens?

From today, Mondstadt has established a new "Wind God Church", which is a subordinate department of the Knights of Favonius. All nuns and clergy must be reviewed by the Knights of Favonius before they can take up their posts.

No donations will be accepted from anyone, and no taxes will be collected. The expenses of the Wind God Church will be borne by the Knights of Favonius.

If there are any more donations or charges of this kind, please report them. The Knights of Favonius will definitely punish the relevant criminals severely."

"Great!!!" Everyone in Mond cheered. This is the church we want.

Then, good news came that dozens of people under the underground Colosseum were all rescued. The footage of the Colosseum was released, and some people who were forced to become toys in the Colosseum recounted their experiences over the years. Various deeds with bloody handprints also told the tragic situation of Mond civilians being forced to press their handprints.

The bionic doll at the deepest part was also covered by the huge stone, and never showed its grace again. The four cardinals were put in hoods and hung on the execution platform, and people applauded.

The situation in Mond soon fermented in the continent of Teyvat, and some organizations that claimed to believe in gods began to reshuffle, making life even more difficult for these organizations that rely on donations.

Chapter 161 The Almost Forgotten Person

There is a lot of tedious work to do afterwards, and the problems that have accumulated for hundreds of years have been uncovered overnight. It is not something that can be cleaned up in a day or two.

Under this trend, many knights arranged by the church and nobles in the Knights of Favonius were purged, making the already short-staffed Knights even more stretched. They had to requisition reserve knights like Irene.

Few of the nobles canonized by the church were clean. The nobles who were farther away from Mondstadt did not face much backlash from the knights. While the Knights of Favonius had not yet cleaned up, many nobles had packed up their belongings and left with their families.

In areas where the tithe was collected, churches were attacked by the people, and clergy were tied up, locked in cages, and transported to Mondstadt for confession and trial.

Dusk, Mondstadt Deer Hunter Restaurant.

"It's a rare opportunity to do something serious, Wendy." Lin Zixuan poured wine for Wendy.

"Hey!" Now that her troubles were solved, Wendy was drinking heavily.

"Here, here. Dinner is ready." Paimon could be seen flying in the air from a distance.

"Great, there's food." Paimon regained his spirit and flew over.

"Why do you look so tired?"

"Of course I'm tired! Captain Qin has become a degenerate. She has assigned tasks to everyone. There are too many physical tasks such as moving things. The only task of arresting the suspected knight is easier."

"Have you all been recruited as well? It seems that the Knights are indeed short-handed. Where's Mona?"

"Me? I met the heir and helped take care of the child for an afternoon. And then...then...sigh..." Mona sighed.

"Pfft...hahaha...have you seen that book? I didn't expect that you still couldn't escape the predetermined fate." Lin Zixuan laughed happily.

"I really can't go back now. If I go back, I will definitely die at the hands of an old woman." Mona ate the satisfying salad decadently.

"You big bad guy, Mondstadt is in such a mess now, why don't you come to help?" Paimon, who had eaten two servings of fried meat with honey-sauce carrots, raised his head.

"Although it looks chaotic right now, once the Knights of Favonius take full control of Mondstadt, Mondstadt should have a new beginning. The three great nobles joining forces will be enough to handle Mondstadt's affairs."

"Obviously, he's just lazy and drinking like Wendy, not doing his job."

"It's called experiencing the life in Mondstadt. It's very important to feel the atmosphere of Mondstadt."

After someone killed the conversation, everyone hurriedly finished their dinner.

Ying and Paimon started to help Captain Qin with chores again, after all, the Knights offered three times the salary. Mona went to the library to borrow books. Half-drunk Wendy felt that drinking was not enough and went to the Angel's Gift. Only someone was left with nothing to do and started to wander around.

When passing by a small garden, I heard a sobbing sound. Looking around, I saw a familiar figure sitting alone on a bench wiping tears. It was Mond's idol Barbara.

Alas, I feel a little sorry for her. In order to advance the plot, she had to experience the feeling of pushing her beloved sister into the abyss with her own hands. Even if the incident did not happen, it would still be a hurdle for her to overcome.

But now the leader Qin is so busy that she has no time to counsel her. Maybe she will be looked at with strange eyes. Right now, her mood is very unstable. If it continues for a long time, maybe a dark Barbara will appear? It seems interesting!

Lin Zixuan started thinking about the sequel to the video.

Just as Barbara wiped her tears and was about to get up and leave, a purple mirror-like object appeared in front of her.

Ten years later, Barbara appeared in the video, and she kept asking the cardinal about the whereabouts of her sister. But the answer she got was that Jean was missing. After being knocked unconscious from behind, she had no idea what happened.

The church abolished the Knights of Favonius and replaced them with a bishop-managed Knights of Inquisition. The three great nobles and the wind god Barbatos were all killed, and Mondstadt fell into the hands of the church.

In order to consolidate its position and break up some people's alliances, the church canonized thousands of nobles who only had titles but no power. It also established the position of saint, and Barbara was one of the candidates for saint.

The continuous deaths of people she knew, plus the disappearance of her sister, made Barbara feel that the whole of Mond had become completely different from before.

She sneaked out of the church and almost fainted when she heard the news that the people of Mond were talking about.

"Speaking of which, Barbara has been chosen for this Saint Selection, right?"

"That's for sure! Not only is she the daughter of the cardinal, but she is also favored by the god of wind."

"After ten years of undercover work, I finally killed the rebel witch Jean myself."

"Yes! She is very noble in herself, and she has made such great achievements. The other candidates for saints cannot compare to her at all!"

......

"When did I kill my sister?" Barbara was shocked and began to inquire from many sources. However, no one knew what happened at that time, not even the maid who took care of her sister could be found.

With the witness of the 'Wind God', she took the position of Saint. Barbara was very confused about the origin of this 'Wind God'.

When she asked the archbishop, he said that this was the new incarnation of the wind god Barbatos. But the wind god who basically didn't talk gradually aroused Barbara's suspicion. After all, she had seen the wind god Barbatos, and she hadn't seen the green bard in these years.

In the following years, Mondstadt gradually changed and became a free and joyful city. The game consoles in Liyue were confiscated and banned from sale and possession, and Mondstadt returned to the era when communication was basically done by shouting.

No matter how naive she was, Barbara could sense the transformation of the entire city. A refugee camp was built at the gate of Mondstadt, and Barbara, who had no power, could only deliver some porridge to the gate every day.

As she got older, she saw many things clearly. Saint? On the surface, she had eight people serving her every day, but in reality, they were just monitoring her. When she went out, they all followed her. She could no longer hear the true voices of the people of Mondstadt.

The nuns pray and practice healing every day, and basically do not come into contact with other people. Those who can come to the church to confess are all faithful believers of the church. After many years, the nuns have completely trusted the church and have become believers who have complete trust in the church.

Sorry, I don’t know what’s going on outside the church.

The village of Mondstadt was looted. Sorry! I don't know about it in the church.

The people of Mondstadt are living in dire straits. Sorry! I don't know about this in the church.

After the brainwashing reaches a certain stage, it evolves into that it doesn't matter even if you know it. After all, your faith is not firm. Only if you have a firm faith in the God of Wind can you be protected by her.

Barbara, who became a caged bird, could not understand and accept this reality. She gradually began to resist, but since no one in the church was hers, the resistance was completely useless. A letter was sent to Liyue, and then the letter was delivered to the cardinal's desk.

Whenever it is late at night and everyone is asleep, I miss my sister.

Until one day, Barbara had a flash of light in her mind. Wait, what about her sister's special equipment? It seems that the church only brought back the nameless scabbard, but no one was favored by the artifact, so the artifact's effect could not be brought into play. If she could get the recognition of the artifact, would she have a chance to find out the truth?

Although the Saint has no power, she can still enter the treasure house. Over the years, this nameless scabbard has been placed on the shelf below the West Wind artifacts because no one can use it. This is also her only chance.

Entering the treasure house was extremely smooth, but this nameless scabbard was also protected by a barrier. Although no one has recognized it now and it can only be used as an ordinary shield, its special effect also forced the church to pay attention to it.

The nun conveyed the saint's request to the cardinals. After years of holding power and being corrupted by greed, the cardinals did not think that this item would cause any trouble. Besides, it was also a relic of her sister, so they agreed to the request.

The barrier was opened, and Barbara's hand touched the nameless scabbard.

"Huh? It's you? Well, I also want to see what you will do." A man's voice came from his mind.

Then, countless memories flooded into Barbara's mind.

Then, Barbara knelt down and cried bitterly. What on earth had she done? She was completely deceived by the church and killed her own sister, and it was such a humiliating death.

The nuns around didn't know what was going on and couldn't move forward, as if there was some repulsive force preventing them from moving forward. They hurried to inform the cardinal.

The archbishops knew that the situation was not good, so they rushed to the treasury and summoned the "God of Wind". Then they saw Barbara standing above them, holding a golden scepter and wearing golden clothes.

"Doll, kill her!" The cardinal looked at Barbara in front of him with a ferocious face. But the 'Wind God' bionic doll following behind did not make any move.

"Puppet!" the cardinal yelled again.

"Puff!" A hand pierced through his chest. The cardinal turned around in disbelief and saw an expressionless bionic doll.

"Is it strange? The holder of this nameless scabbard can quickly heal from any injury, and even stop the aging of the body. After the scabbard is unfolded, it will be under the protection of God, and no attack can harm the holder.

The blessing of God will naturally eliminate any state that is unfavorable to the holder. You let this bionic doll use this scabbard to kill my sister, wanting to give her a mental blow. The moment my sister died, the scabbard lost its holder.

In other words, she became the second successor of the scabbard. The scabbard's ability was activated, destroying the restraints on her. You have put too many shackles on this bionic doll, so it takes a lot of time for the scabbard to remove them. So no one has been recognized by the scabbard because the scabbard already has a successor.

The man supported by the Lord of Liyue was killed, and the scabbard has never been returned to Liyue. Do you think he is the kind of person who is easy to talk to?" Barbara stated in an indifferent tone.

"Could it be...Could it be..." the cardinal said with difficulty.

"This bionic doll has already become his toy. As the third successor to the scabbard, I have the right to use it. Go with peace of mind. The others will reunite with you in the abyss."

"No...no...this is impossible!" The cardinal gradually died.

After that, it took several years to clean up these cancers in the church. The first female pope in Mondstadt's history, Barbara, was born. After that, she inherited her sister's will, reorganized the atmosphere of Mondstadt, and became the most beloved person in Mondstadt.

Until one day, when she went to visit Liyue, she accidentally saw a familiar figure in black clothes. Barbara was horrified and chased after him.

"Barbara, my dearest sister, you have done well, may the wind god protect you!" The figure in black clothes disappeared, leaving behind only Barbara, whose heart knot was untied and whose face was full of tears.

The purple mirror-like object disappeared. Barbara, who was sitting on the bench, burst into tears again. After a long while, she wiped her tears and saw the culprit. She stood up and stomped hard on Lin Zixuan's foot, then ran away.

Lin Zixuan was confused. What did this mean?

Chapter 162: Another Communication Method in Liyue

The Mondstadt issue has come to an end, and it will take at least one or two months to get things back to normal. We will have to wait until the middle of the year to discuss business matters.

Someone who had nothing to do in Mond said goodbye to Barbatos, the god of wind, and others. Mona chose to stay in Mond temporarily because she wanted to continue reading the books in the library.

The person the traveler wanted to see, Dainsleb, had gone to the secret temple of the Wolf of the North Wind and had not yet come out. It would probably take some time before we could see him.

Liyue Harbor.

Lin Zixuan followed Zhongli's example and wandered around the world leisurely. All aspects of Liyue were developing steadily and no problems had arisen for the time being. If there were any problems, they had been dealt with in time by the Seven Stars.

After sensing the pollution situation in Mingyun Town, it is still within the controllable range. Most of the pollution caused by heavy industry can be absorbed by special trees and then recycled into harmless substances.

The people of Liyue have never experienced an environment polluted by heavy industry, and many people still don’t understand what we are doing. It seems that the TV station must cooperate with the school to give the people of Liyue a good educational lesson, or should we teach the class in person?

The construction site of the new Qun Yu Pavilion. Looking at this Qun Yu Pavilion that is a circle larger than before, I couldn't help but smack my lips. This is not a Qun Yu Pavilion at all, it should be called an aerospace mothership, right?

The square in front is big enough for an airplane to fly, and there are two large platforms at the back. Needless to say, they must be prepared for the airplane equipped with the floating stone lifting system.

This floating stone lifting system allows aircraft to take off and land vertically without a runway, and can also protect aircraft from crashing in critical moments. If there is such a floating stone system on Blue Star, it would be difficult to have an aviation accident. This technology can only be achieved in this magical continent of Teyvat.

The upper part has changed so much that the base part in Mingyun Town will probably have to be modified as well, otherwise it will not be able to bear such a heavy mass. It looks like this construction will take at least half a year.

The new residential area of ​​Liyue Harbor on the right was also bustling with activity. Many people stood in front of a piece of simply fenced land, carefully studying the planning map of the General Affairs Department.

Where there is demand, there is a market. Some locations are indeed prime locations. The prices offered by merchants make those who are lucky enough to get prime locations raise their psychological prices again and again.

However, many people were frightened by the new regulations: if the land obtained through the lottery is sold, then three direct generations of the family will be banned from participating in the lottery within five years.

After all, the land in the residential area is used to give priority to people in need in Liyue Port for construction and residence, rather than to speculate on land. Although this strategy has prevented large-scale speculation in housing to a certain extent, it has also made more people succumb to the fact that "he gave too much."
