NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23: Chapter 23
"Yes, I beg you." Qin nodded, "Because the person who told me this said that Rustan's will is to protect Mondstadt, and you will inherit his will, even if the method is a little extreme, but you will definitely do it."
The lady sneered: "Don't talk as if you know everything. Rustan does want to protect Mondstadt, but he is not as naive and kind as recorded in your Knights. In my opinion, you guys are not qualified to be called the leader. Only Rustan has the courage and wisdom of the Knight Leader."
Qin nodded again: "Yes, so I have always taken Lord Rustan as an example, and want to be someone like him who can lead Mondstadt forward... So, can you help me?"
The lady was silent.
She felt like a punch on cotton.
No matter what she said or how she mocked, Qin was not angry, and she admitted it.
The most important thing is that Qin recognized Rustan's deeds and what she said.
"Hmph! I said, I have no reason to help you. Rustan is gone. The Mondstadt he wanted to protect is not what it is now."
"So you are going to give up? Give up the will of Lord Rustan?"
"Enough!"
The lady said coldly, "Today's negotiations are over. I have something else to do."
After that, she left without hesitation.
She needed time to calm down.
Watching the lady walking out of the meeting room, Qin frowned slightly, stood up and walked to the library on the first floor.
Walking in, Su Chen was playing games with Keli.
Seeing Qin coming in, Keli raised her head and called out obediently: "Captain Qin~~"
Qin asked curiously: "What is this?"
"This is flying chess. Brother Su Chen is teaching me how to play flying chess. Hehe~ It's very interesting."
Qin smiled and touched her head: "Keli, you play by yourself first. I have something to tell Su Chen."
"But flying chess requires at least two people to play together..."
"Then go find Noelle. You can teach her how to play flying chess."
"Great! Then I'll go!!!"
Little Keli rolled up the flying chess and ran away.
Su Chen smiled and shook his head.
The little thing is the mother of milk. Listen to sister Qin, brother Su Chen doesn't want it.
"Why, it's not going well?" He looked at Qin and said.
"Rejected."
"Oh? Tell me the details."
Qin told Su Chen the content of the chat word for word.
"I think it went quite smoothly." Su Chen smiled, "With her temperament, didn't you notice that the lady's attitude later was completely different from the beginning?"
"You said so..."
Qin recalled carefully and found that the lady's attitude towards her changed from the moment the water clock appeared.
There was even a moment when Qin felt that the person sitting in front of her for negotiation was not the Fatui executive, but a scholar girl.
This short-term change in temperament corresponds to the change in the lady's mentality.
Obviously, even after five hundred years, the lady still remembers the past clearly.
"So she agreed?" Qin hesitated.
"It depends on the movements of the Fatui in the next two days. If the lady is willing to help, I believe there will be news soon."
Looking at Su Chen's calm appearance, Qin felt that Su Chen seemed to have anticipated everything a long time ago, and the feeling she had discussed with Lisa before came to her mind again.
Qin forced herself not to think too much. She believed in Su Chen and Lisa.
Even if she felt confused, she believed first and then saw the situation.
Anyway, she had no extra choice at this point.
"Su Chen." Qin couldn't help asking, "What else do you know about Lord Rustan and the lady?"
Su Chen smiled faintly: "What do you want to know?"
"I want to know about Lord Rustan... Although the records within the Knights say that he led the Knights to repel the terrible beast tide, I saw something different from the records in my family."
Guenhild had also worked with Su Chen in the past, and was a witness to the history of five hundred years ago. Naturally, there are many things in the family that outsiders don't know.
Qin once tried to understand Rustan, but was stopped by her grandfather in the end.
It seems that Rustan's affairs, the affairs of five hundred years ago, are taboos for Mond, especially for the nobles.
"Rustan..." Su Chen stood up, walked to the table where Lisa was reading, made a cup of tea with the latter's tea set, and said slowly: "I know something, you are right, what happened in the Knights back then is indeed different from the records."
"What is different specifically?" Qin asked.
Su Chen put down the teacup and said, "What kind of force do you think the Earth Fire is?"
Qin frowned slightly: "Crazy, extreme, unscrupulous, evil force that does evil in the name of justice?"
Su Chen smiled lightly: "What if I say that the original Earth Fire was created by Rustan?"
"How is it possible?!"
Qin was stunned.
Even if she had doubted the records of the Knights, it shouldn't be so outrageous, right?
"Things that are deliberately concealed are often the truth that others cannot accept." Su Chen said calmly, "Why did the Knights cover up what happened back then? Because the people who did these things know that Rustan is a hero and he represents justice. If others know that he created the Earth Fire, then the legitimacy of the Earth Fire is equivalent to being recognized. In the future, Mond will not only have the Knights, but also the Earth Fire."
Qin frowned: "Power struggle?"
"Most of the reasons, and some things are related to Rustan's original behavior. In short, if you believe that Rustan is a hero of Mondstadt, then you might as well consider what kind of existence the Earth Fire is."
In fact, the nobles would never let the later generations know about the things he did during the simulation, let alone let people reproduce them.
Because that would completely damage the rights and interests of the nobles.
But Rustan's image as a hero cannot be destroyed, so there is the impression of Rustan that the Mondstadt people have now-the hero who saved Mondstadt, destroyed the evil Earth Fire with his own hands, and one of the greatest captains of the Knights.
In short, they don't mind giving Rustan a few more halos. After all, the person is dead. The more halos, as long as Rustan is a member of the Knights, the only one who will benefit will be the Knights.
Qin was completely stunned.
She never expected that the evil organization she had heard about since she was a child was actually founded by one of the two captains she admired the most-Captain Rustan.
If that's the case, then she can think of what will happen next.
No wonder the Earth Fire hates the nobles so much!
"Huh~ I need a little time... a little time to digest it." Qin rubbed her temples and said.
"I think so too, but if you doubt it, you can look for it in your house. There may be relevant records. After all, the Gunhild family has been passed down to this day and has its own set of survival rules."
Su Chen poured a cup of black tea, pushed it in front of Qin, and smiled: "But before that, let's have a cup of afternoon tea first."
Chapter 23 The end of the nobles, the heinous crimes [Fourth update, 4k! ]
At the same time.
At the Goethe Hotel, the lady pushed open the door, closed it heavily, and stood in the room for a long time.
No one knows how much her mood fluctuated along the way.
Five hundred years, five hundred years!
Once again got a clue about Rustan, even if it was just a stopped watch, but the lady suddenly thought of the last letter Su Chen sent to her.
Rosalin, do you believe in miracles?
"Rustan..."
The lady held the water hour hand in both hands and placed it on her chest.
The flames that filled her chest seemed to burn the ice that sealed the shell.
What a hot emotion~
She hadn't felt the heat of her heartbeat or the warmth brought by the flames for a long time.
The lady didn't believe in miracles.
But she believed in Rustan.
Rustan was a miracle.
"That person..."
After a long time, the lady opened her eyes and thought of the so-called Liyue people who passed by that Qin mentioned.
"He must know a lot about Rustan!"
"No matter how he got the water clock needle, now only through him can we know more."
The lady's eyes became more and more hot.
Her urgency now was even stronger than completing the task assigned to her by the queen.
Queen's task?
Go away!
She wanted to see that person, the guy who got the water clock needle, maybe he knew Rustan's whereabouts.
The lady decided that even if she had to use any means, she would pry Rustan's things out of the other party!
...
Qin's chat with Su Chen went smoothly.
From Su Chen, she learned a lot about Rustan and about things five hundred years ago.
Even if she searched the entire database of the Knights, she would not be able to find this information. However, Qin felt that Suchen had not lied to her. After all, even Lisa had said that she could completely trust Suchen when it came to "knowledge".
During the conversation, Qin was somewhat dissatisfied with Suchen's use of the term "desperate fool" to describe Rustan.
