NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17: Chapter 17
The thug who tried to force Su Chen to leave by force raised his fist and was knocked to the ground by a figure who suddenly jumped out.
As the long blue hair fluttered, a wisp of cold air spread out.
"How can you be so careless to come here?"
The blue-haired girl who suddenly appeared said dissatisfiedly.
Su Chen turned his head and smiled: "Isn't it okay?"
"What if I didn't come?"
The girl in front of him, wearing a tight-fitting outfit with a black background and white stripes, had a slim figure, a protruding front and a curved back. Her golden eyes stared at Su Chen and complained dissatisfiedly.
The guerrilla leader of the Knights' Order - Wave Knight Eula.
Su Chen smiled. If Eula didn't come, he would just take action directly.
"Laurence, Lawrence's demon!"
The remaining thugs retreated in fear.
Eula said impatiently: "Yes, yes, I am the devil of Lawrence. The bully of Mond is here. Go away quickly, or you will suffer!"
"Ah!!!"
The gangsters fled the scene.
Su Chen didn't care. Eula's deterrence in Mond was no less than that of Earth Fire. Ordinary people were okay. Some of them would speak ill of her because of their identity as Mond people, but these gangsters were very self-aware and knew that the Knights would not punish a knight captain for them, so they didn't even think about confronting Eula head-on.
"Little sister, don't be afraid. Although we are not good people, we are not bad people either."
Before the little girl wanted to escape, Su Chen stopped her and greeted her with a smile.
"Do you know her?" Eula was very curious. Why did she go to find her if she didn't know her?
The little girl, in fact, couldn't be said to be small. She was almost an adult in Mond at the age of twelve. Su Chen remembered that Noel was not that old.
"Maybe."
Su Chen stared at the little girl calmly.
She was sloppy, but her big black eyes were very bright.
"Somewhat familiar."
Su Chen reached out and tidied the messy hair on the little girl's forehead.
"So cute."
Eula was a little surprised. If she was washed clean, she should be a very good 'beauty'.
The little girl trembled slightly, but she felt the gentleness in Su Chen's movements, and she suddenly relaxed for some reason.
"Who... are you?" she asked timidly.
"My name is Su Chen." Su Chen chuckled, "What about you? What's your name?"
"My name is... Arya."
Su Chen smiled slightly.
Then he said softly: "Arya, from today on, I will be your teacher, okay?"
...
On the other side.
In a secluded attic.
The lady looked at the direction of the street where the battle took place from a distance.
She did not go to the scene to check in person, because no matter what the result of the planned attack on the nobles, her purpose had been achieved - using the class contradictions between the ordinary people of Mondstadt and the nobles to divert the hatred of the people to the Earth Fire and overthrow this damn system.
"This city is still so corrupt, Rustan, I feel sorry for you."
A deep longing emerged in the lavender eyes.
Five hundred years...
Five hundred years ago, Rustan gave everything for Mondstadt, including his life.
But today, five hundred years later, what the lady saw was still a scene of decay.
Rustan, you should have been more ruthless at the time and completely eradicated those rotten nobles.
"Lord Judge."
A person in charge of the Earth Fire said respectfully, "According to your plan, the news has been spread in Mondstadt... Is this really useful? The nobles control the power of the entire city, and it is too difficult to deal with them."
Judge, this is the title that the lady gave herself after returning to the Earth Fire.
She wanted to use the flames of sin and punishment to burn the souls of those sinners and judge this sinful city.
"Don't worry, Rustam has proved to us that the nobles are just paper tigers, and the seemingly weak people, when they gather together, are powerful enough to overthrow the corrupt system."
Although she also looked down on these weak Mond people... the lady added silently in her heart.
Because in her opinion, these people are no different from five hundred years ago. When they encounter danger, they will only ask for help. What did Rustam get after trying his best? And now without Rustam, the Mond people deserve to die.
However, her plan requires the participation of these people.
"Mr. Judge, did you really follow Lord Rustam?" The man asked with a fiery look, "Can you tell us what kind of person Lord Rustam is?"
As the founder of the Earth Fire, Rustam's will has been passed down from generation to generation. Even though the Knights fabricated many unfounded charges to discredit the existence of the Earth Fire and even "robbed" Rustam, the core members of the Earth Fire still firmly believed that Rustam led the Earth Fire to resist the disaster and protect Mond.
In fact, Rustam's existence has long been mythical and regarded as an organizational belief.
Even Su Chen himself did not expect how much people rely on faith in the Teyvat continent ruled by the gods.
When people are most helpless, what they are most used to doing is to find a spiritual pillar.
And the name Rustam is the spiritual pillar of all the people in the Earth Fire.
"He is an idiot..." The lady raised her head and murmured. Countless things have been erased by time, but that familiar face is still deeply engraved in her heart.
He is gentle to everyone, but he is too cruel to himself.
He protects everyone, but who can protect him?
Chapter 18 History is always surprisingly similar [Eighth update]
The attack on the nobles caused a storm in the city of Mondstadt. From the previous assassination in secret, to the current assassination in the open, this change has brought great panic to the city of Mondstadt.
After capturing the attacker, Qin immediately had someone interrogate him.
Especially the being named the Judge, her intuition told her that this was the mastermind active in the earth-fire forces.
Unfortunately, no matter how interrogated the Knights were, all those who participated in the attack were unwilling to reveal any information about the underground fire.
And most of these people came from the slums. The unified reason for attacking Andre was-to beat the nobles and share food.
In the situation where the dragon disaster is becoming more and more serious, this reason seems to be justified.
After all, even in the city of Mondstadt, the food problem has become increasingly tense, and the rising prices have made many ordinary families miserable.
And on the afternoon of the attack, a voice spread throughout the streets.
"The action of Earthfire is to get back what belongs to the people of Mondstadt from the hands of the nobles!"
Food, supplies...these are the most scarce things in a disaster.
The dragon plague in the past six months has made Mondstadt's food problem even more serious. This is the direct conflict between Mondstadt's class conflicts. People have no food to eat and are about to starve to death. Who cares? Who are you?
If Earth Fire helps everyone get food and survive the crisis, then they are good people!
boom! ——
"What a bastard! These damn scoundrels, they actually use this excuse to cover up their despicable behavior!"
Knights, in the meeting room.
Inspector General Gail Mai slammed the table angrily.
"These guys must be punished!"
Qin said calmly: "How to punish him? Does Lord Gelmer want to send more people back?"
"There is nothing we can do about it." Gailmei said in a deep voice, "If these guys are allowed to act recklessly, Mondstadt City will fall into an unprecedented crisis, and it will not be as simple as a dragon disaster."
"So you pulled back the people stationed in the Benlang Territory without authorization? Do you know that this action is equivalent to putting the people of Qingquan Town and the surrounding areas in danger?"
"Captain Qin, I understand your worries, but you have to make a choice in everything, right? You have to deal with the earth fire or the dragon disaster, right?" Another voice sounded.
The deputy leader of the Knights, Cagel shook his head.
"Since we are unable to solve the dragon disaster, why don't we focus on dealing with the underground fire? At least we should let the people of Mondstadt see that we are working seriously for everyone. Otherwise, if this continues, the reputation of the Knights will be lost. , you don't want to see a knighthood that has been criticized by thousands of people when the leader comes back, right?"
"That's not the problem!"
Qin said angrily.
Of course the Knights have to take their reputation into consideration.
But if you do things just for the sake of reputation, you are putting the cart before the horse.
The grand master left the knights in her hands to manage the order, so that she could do practical things, not to gain reputation.
However, she couldn't find a reason to refute what Gelmer and Kagel said.
"Um...may I say something?"
Su Chen, who was recording the summary of the meeting, closed his notepad.
"Instead of arguing here, everyone should think about how to solve the problem. The food problem is indeed imminent. Again, if everyone can have enough to eat, who will be willing to kill each other?"
Although he couldn't help but applaud, he didn't expect to see Dihuo perform such an operation five hundred years later. This really gave Su Chen a big surprise.
However, he has received professional training and always keeps his position in mind. Moreover, he is still the man next to Captain Qin and should not cheer for the enemy.
Gail Mai glanced at Su Chen and said calmly: "Your Excellency Su Chen, although you are the assistant to Captain Qin, please pay attention to the occasion. This is not the place for you to express your opinions."
The implication is that you are not qualified to speak here.
Although Su Chen's ability is indeed good and has been recognized by many people in the Knights.
But Su Chen, a Liyue native, had no power and power, and was not qualified to get involved in Mondstadt's government affairs.
