Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

This is what Kaeya learned from the Liyue envoy. He felt that it was extremely useful and could be used to strangle the Winter Kingdom.

The sudden appearance of the crowd caused the people strolling on the street to exclaim in surprise, and they only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Kaia and the familiar members of the Knights.

However, after noticing You, the people's expressions changed slightly and they began to whisper to each other.

"Isn't this the knight from the Lawrence family? She looks so miserable, while everyone else is unscathed. Sure enough, her achievements in battle were all fake, right?"

"I also think it's fake. How could the Lawrence family risk their lives for us? They said it was some guerrilla group, but maybe they were just strolling around outside."

"Not really. Amber read out the results herself, and it was even published in the newspaper."

"The record may be true, but it may be the achievement of the entire team, but she just took all the credit. Isn't this how the Lawrence family oppressed the people of Mond in the past?"

Well, he just fought for you on the front line and even used his life to protect his teammates’ evacuation. Now he has to listen to your idiot nonsense, right?

Xie Yan's eyes fixed, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​killing all the Mond people.

32 Pack up and take away the meeting between You and Qin Hip

If Liyue gave Xie Yan the feeling of prosperity and vitality, Mondstadt gave him the feeling of leisure and comfort.

Looking forward from the city gate, you can see wide and flat streets, adventurers carrying all kinds of strange weapons, clear fountains, slowly turning huge windmills, and classical European-style buildings that make you feel like you are in a fairy tale world.

The vines under the windmill and the familiar wind-blown mushrooms give people an inexplicable sense of familiarity, reminding them of the time when they were newbies crawling around to collect breakthrough materials.

but--

Just like in the game, the residents of Mondstadt are just as annoying.

Xie Yan originally thought that they would have some emotional intelligence. Even if they had deep prejudices against the Lawrence family, they would temporarily shut up for You Fen's bravery in fighting. Who would have thought that this group of people were so unscrupulous.

"That's too much. You was the one who stayed behind to let everyone evacuate." Paimon whispered in Yingmei's ear.

Her eyes flickered slightly. Of course, this 17-year-old beautiful girl with yellow hair could see what these Mond people were thinking.

"They don't care about the truth. If You comes back unscathed, they will probably suspect that You didn't clean up the trade routes seriously." Ying sighed.

Because this is politically correct, the parties involved cannot resist, and it can also gain the resonance of the onlookers. This is no different from school bullying that targets honest people. Bullies have formed this tacit understanding.

Even though Amber has been helping You, the trust of the people of Mondstadt is as delicate and fragile as spider silk. For example, they have been unable to leave the city due to monsters during this period and have lost their previous freedom. The accumulated anger needs to be vented to someone.

Kaiya also heard these words and glanced at You calmly, and found that she looked normal and didn't seem to care at all.

But this is actually the biggest abnormality. If it were the usual You, he would have glared at them and said "I'll remember this grudge" to stop their discussion. Now he looks calm, but he is really hurt in his heart.

While he was deep in thought, Xie Yan took two steps towards him.

Everyone was standing in the Fountain Square at this time. The area here was much larger than in the game, so the cavalry squad did not seem crowded standing here.

"Captain Kaeya, although I have never been to Mond, I have always longed to visit the city of freedom. I see that the residents seem to know a lot about Mond's history. Let me ask them a few questions here first." Xie Yan said calmly.

Kaiya was stunned for a moment. He was a very shrewd man and knew how to read people's expressions, but Xie Yan's expression had not changed since they met, so he had no way of guessing what Xie Yan was thinking.

"Is this the attitude that a god should have? Not only is he powerful, but his bearing alone is unmatched." Brother Kaizi almost gasped.

This guy is so scary!

He was somewhat resistant to his undercover identity, but he was indeed collecting intelligence on the Seven Gods. He was just limited by the environment in Mondstadt, and his understanding of the gods basically came from Wendy.

Sure enough, Brother Kaizi had felt something was wrong before. How could Lord Barbatos, who founded New Mond, be an idle drunkard?

It's like the King of Rock next door who worked hard to govern the country turned into a street urchin, and the General of Thunder who sat in the castle tower turned into a country girl.

I understand. Lord Barbatos has seen through everything a long time ago and is trying to confuse Kanreya and the Abyss!

As for Xie Yan's actions, Kaeya didn't say much, and to be precise he couldn't say... In the continent of Teyvat, apart from Azar and his gang of old bastards who are so brave, who else dares to point fingers at a walking nuclear weapon?

Even if Xie Yan said he wanted to have a party, Kaeya would have to report to Captain Jean to discuss a Mondstadt Hot Spring Festival.

You, however, had a puzzled look in her eyes. She was in a bad mood as the Mond people pointed fingers at her. But she was in a hurry to go back and report the information to Qin. She didn't even bother to dust herself off. So why did Xie Yan suddenly stop discussing history?

She had heard Amber talk about some things about Xie Yan, and her initial impression of him was relatively good. She knew that although he acted in a domineering and decisive manner, he was indeed a man who got things done. The public security in the underworld place like Inazuma, which was criticized by people, was now better than that in Mond.

"Could it be that the residents of Mondstadt have obtained some important information?"

You Baisi was puzzled. While she was worried, Xie Yan actually left the team and started chatting with the residents of Fountain Square.

These residents did not know his true identity and only thought that he was a diplomatic envoy similar to the Fatui, so they responded more enthusiastically.

"It's really annoying. He knows I'm so anxious. Is he deliberately trying to delay me?"

She couldn't figure out what Xie Yan was planning. If he was just after her beauty, then this kind of playing hard to get tactic was totally unnecessary. If he hadn't provoked her before, You felt that maybe they could still chat for a while now.

Humph, it’s fine if he steals her lines, but saying that she is fat is absolutely unbearable. Do you understand the value of meaty legs?

Until Xie Yan's next words--

"Randall, Leno, it's such a pleasure chatting with you. I originally thought that Liyue had a magnificent history, but I didn't expect Mondstadt to have so many moving poems." Xie Yan said with a smile, "You seem to know a lot about the Lawrence family. You can even talk about things that happened a thousand years ago."

"Of course. Who in Mond doesn't know about the Lawrence family? Humph, the Lawrence family treated the people of Mond as slaves. If it weren't for the help of Vanessa and Lord Barbatos, Mond would still be a place of blood and tears now." The two spoke with tears in their voices, which resonated with the people around them.

Everyone nodded in agreement: "That's right, the Lawrence family is the vampire of Mond, and they turned the originally sacred gladiatorial combat into a brutal game. Their family has sinful blood flowing in their veins!"

The Mond residents at the scene actually talked about the crimes of the Lawrence family in a casual manner, and some even recited them as if they were reciting a text, which won a lot of applause.

They did not care about You in front of them... Although they believed in the vision of the Knights, You was a member of the Lawrence family after all. Even many people within the Knights did not believe her, not to mention these ordinary people.

You did not say anything in rebuttal, but just stood there quietly and welcomed the residents' undisguised negative emotions and malice. When she first stepped out of the family and came to the restaurant and store, she had already deeply experienced the fate of the sinner family.

She couldn't understand what these people were thinking. They had never met each other before, yet they could vent their dissatisfaction to her unscrupulously, as if their bad life was related to her, just because of the three words "Lawrence".

She was unwilling to be bound by her family's fate, so she joined the Knights Templar. But now it seems that her efforts may not necessarily pay off.

You looked down at the torn light armor on her body. Those were the marks left by the previous desperate fight, which now felt like needles piercing her heart.

Is it worth it? Although Amber and other members of the guerrilla team will help her clarify the facts and regain her honor, the residents' distrust of her is obvious.

She did countless good things to prove herself, but just one bad thing, no, just a little doubt was enough to overwhelm all her previous efforts.

You suddenly hated Xie Yan. Are you deliberately making fun of me? You said you wanted to exchange information, but you went to the Mondstadt people just to humiliate me, a sinner, in person?

She had not expected Xie Yan to help her clear her name in front of the people of Mondstadt, but she had never thought that he had such malicious intent towards her... Why would you, a stranger, target me?

Is it because of the name of the God who can destroy countless sins that he cannot tolerate even a trace of impurities? But what did I do wrong? Just because of my surname?

Swallowed by the malice like a tide, the exhaustion from continuous fighting could no longer be suppressed. Yu was under double pressure both mentally and physically, and could only use the hilt of the sword to support his body so as not to shake.

However--

"It seems that I have really underestimated the people of Mondstadt's research on history. What a coincidence, I came to Mondstadt this time at the invitation of Barbatos. I originally wanted to consult Captain Qin, but now I find that I may know more by asking you." Xie Yan clapped his hands and said loudly.

His voice attracted more people, but as he finished speaking, everyone knew his identity... The God of Wind invited the gods of Inazuma to come and help. The Knights had already said this news a long time ago, and in a sense it was also to reassure people.

But the people of Mondstadt had never expected that Xie Yan, who was described as a domineering person by the bards, could actually be so easy to talk to. He even praised their historical and cultural knowledge. This was something they could brag about for a year.

Even Xumi, the city of wisdom, was severely criticized by Xie Yan, and the great sage Azar was called a waste by name and slapped a few times. Doesn't this show that our Mond is thriving?

Moreover, His Highness Xie Yan recognizes our Mond culture so much. Could it be that he can also settle down in Mond like the Bishop or Lady Vanessa and become a Mond citizen?

In Mondstadt it is the Mondstadt God!

They were very envious of Xie Yan's card. The card of Xie Yan, the god coming from Xumi, even had a voice line "Whoever invades my Xumi territory will be defeated!" It made them feel safe. Why would they have to endure the anger of the fools like they do now?

Randall, who was the first to speak to Xie Yan, immediately stood up and patted his chest and said, "Your Highness Xie Yan, welcome to Mondstadt. If you have any questions, just ask us directly. We usually trouble Captain Qin so much, now it's time to share her worries."

So you guys also knew that you were bothering the leader Qin? You would throw any cat to her, but now that you have something good to gain, you immediately jump out to help Qin "share the worry", right?

This was not just Xie Yan's speculation. In the legendary quest, all the people of Mondstadt and the Knights of the Order knew that Jyn was very busy, but that did not stop them from continuing to throw things to Jyn.

If the islanders are only going crazy because of their lack of education and the trickery of the Fatui, then the people of Mond are simply disgusting.

Xie Yan no longer hesitated. He opened his arms and asked loudly, "There are nearly a hundred Mondstadt people here, right? Please answer me, what is the Guardian of the Four Winds?"

silence.

The bustling fountain square suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of breathing.

Ying and Kaiya, who were standing by, suddenly realized what Xie Yan wanted to say.

But Yingmei definitely followed the ideas of her father...the leader. Kaeya himself was also very dissatisfied with the ungratefulness of the people of Mondstadt, so he did not speak.

Brother Kaizi is a cheerful person. If he hadn't been embarrassed to speak up before because of his image, he would have kicked those idiots a long time ago.

be honest!

Xie Yan continued to ask: "Why are you silent? No way, no way, it turns out that the Mond people don't even know what their Four Wind Guardians are called?"

"Of course it's the Dragon of the East Wind, the Eagle of the West Wind, the Lion of the South, and the Wolf of the North!" someone in the crowd quickly answered.

"Then may I ask where their temples are built? What deeds have the guardians of the four winds done throughout the ages?"

"..."

This time there was an even deeper silence, because no one really knew.

The most they could name was Tevarin, but that was because of an announcement released by the Knights Templar some time ago, saying that 500 years ago, Tevarin fought with Durin in Dragonspine Mountain and was contaminated with poisonous blood, nearly dying. After reviving, he found himself forgotten by the people of Mondstadt, and was influenced by the Abyss Cult. But how could such a scandal be spoken out in public?

As for the location of the temple?

Before the dragon disaster, they didn't even know who Tevarin was, so how could they know where those temples were? If they really knew, those temples wouldn't have been abandoned and turned into a paradise for monsters.

Xie Yan clapped his hands and exclaimed, "This is amazing. You can even forget about Tevarin who almost sacrificed himself for Mond 500 years ago. How come everyone in the Lawrence family who lived a thousand years ago has turned into a historian?"

Upon hearing this, You immediately turned to look at Xie Yan. Her golden eyes regained their luster. Only then did she realize that Xie Yan was trying to help her vent her anger.

The question raised by Xie Yan was exactly what You had always wondered, but saying such things with her identity would only cause other people to be disgusted. He used the three-dimensional defense of "the Lawrence family is really good at making excuses for themselves" to ignore her question, because this question exposed the ugliest side of the Mond people.

It is true that it is human nature to hold grudges and forget favors, but this is not a value worthy of praise.

The Four Winds Guardian is the face of Mondstadt, a country ruled by no gods. These Mondstadt people have even forgotten their existence and are the ones who guard them day and night. This is an extremely bad behavior in the theocratic worldview of Teyvat.

The more he boasted about sharing Captain Jean's worries and Mondstadt's prosperity, the more he acted like a clown now. Many people's faces turned red, but they couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

"And you think that You is a sinner. Look at the dust on her body. She was alone to cover her teammates, including people like you who hated her so much. She almost lost her life."

"This kind of thing didn't just happen today. There has never been a battle between her and the Abyss Cult that wasn't dangerous. Even if you can't help, please don't hold them back, okay? Barbatos thinks you are shameful."

Explosive killing!

Cool!

Xie Yan did not laugh out loud, he just glanced around, and the Mond people who gathered around him lowered their heads in shame. No one dared to look at him, nor did they dare to get angry with him.

Of course, they also had dissatisfaction in their hearts, but they did not dare to target Xie Yan. As usual, they chose to draw their swords and attack the weaker ones.

"It's all Yu's fault. She was the first one to meet His Highness Xie Yan. She must have been saying bad things about us Monds behind our backs! She said she almost lost her life. Isn't fighting monsters the duty of the Knights?"

"We did something wrong with the Four Winds Guardians, but is this something we can tell outsiders? You have no sense of collective honor at all!"

However, You's lips curled up slightly. Looking at these Mond people whose ugly thoughts were exposed, the anger that she had suppressed was finally released. For the first time in her life, she felt proud.

She had been viewed with hatred by the people of Mondstadt since she was a child, so how could she not have negative emotions? It was just that she seemed so proud but had too low self-esteem. She regarded her dedication as atonement and could only suppress her dissatisfaction.

You suddenly realized that she had only stayed with Xie Yan for a while, but the depression in her heart was inexplicably released a lot. She had never lived so easily.

Yes, it is my own wish to protect Mondstadt, and it is my philosophy to atone for the sins of my family, but that does not mean I will bow to this group of rubbish.

The crowd did not stay any longer, but walked up the stairs and quickly arrived at the entrance of the Knights.

Arriving here, Kaia winked at the cavalry team behind him, signaling them to take the horses back to the stable.

Little Paimon flew around the entrance of the Knights and looked up: "I haven't been back to the Knights for a long time. I wonder how Captain Jean and the others are doing?"

She had a very good impression of the Knights Templar. On the first day she and Yingmei entered the city, they enjoyed the food and lodging provided by the Knights Templar. Later, when she and Yingmei left, they received travel expenses from Qin.

Well, although I quickly spent all of it.

But I think Yingmei wouldn't care. She saw it clearly. Yingmei smoked the cigarette and drank the milk very seriously. Even when she woke up later, her expression showed she enjoyed it very much when the milk went into her stomach.

If he didn't know the consequences, Paimon would have wanted to taste what it tasted like. Is it really that delicious?

Xie Yan also looked at the Knights. Since Mondstadt in the game was released earlier, there was a big gap between it and the later countries in terms of various map details, and the map looked very small.

In fact, although the area of ​​Mondstadt is not as large as that of Liyue Harbor, it is still larger than Inazuma City. The Knights' headquarters is also much more magnificent than expected. The Knights' emblem composed of swords and shields sparkles in the sun.

However, it was far smaller than the castle tower and Yue Haiting in scale. Xie Yan paused for a moment and then entered the first-floor hall of the Knights following the salute of the guards.

Consistent with the layout in the game, on the left side of the hall is Captain Jean's office and Klee's confinement room, and on the right is the library. On both sides stand some Knights of Favonius guarding the gates.

Kaiya explained the situation in a low voice, but when he learned that Captain Qin was meeting with businessmen from various countries, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Recently, Mond's land and water trade routes have been disrupted by monsters, which only subsided slightly yesterday. This has had a huge impact on Mond's trade. Merchants from various countries have a lot to communicate with the Knights, but it is not appropriate to let Xie Yan wait outside.

Fortunately, the guard quickly added that the meeting was coming to an end, so Kaiya respectfully explained the situation and begged Xie Yan to wait for a while.

"It's okay, I understand Mond's situation." Xie Yan said in a deep voice.

Mond's economic situation is actually not much better than Inazuma's, and it basically relies on the wine industry to survive.
