NOVEL NEXT Chapter 55
""Rebels?"
Diluk repeated this somewhat new word in a low voice.
Rebels only existed in ancient history and were somewhat unfamiliar to the people of Mondstadt today.
"The story of Mondstadt in that world is indeed unpleasant. Why were the people of Mondstadt trapped within the city walls?"
"And all this was done by the Wind God who once fought for their freedom."
Diluk's tone was full of sarcasm.
"The gods who once symbolized freedom and hope eventually became the shackles that bound them, just like the perpetrators in history."
"It is conceivable how desperate the people of Mond would be."
"No matter which world they are in, the people of Mondstadt all yearn for freedom and hope to live freely under the vast sky."
As he said this, Diluk's lips curled slightly, revealing an expression of"As expected of me"
""I" in the other world did a good job. For tyranny like this, we should stand up and overthrow it!"
However, Gene did not agree with Diluk's words.
His eyes revealed his disappointment and anger towards Diluk:
"The actions of the gods have their own profound meanings, which we mortals cannot speculate."
"You betrayed Mondstadt, betrayed Lord Barbatos, and you betrayed us, the Knights of Favonius.】！"
Gene's voice gradually became louder and his emotions became more excited.
"You were once one of us, and you should have fought for the will of Lord Barbatos!"
"However, you took advantage of the opportunity to leave the city and founded a rebel army outside the city, hoping to overthrow the rule of Lord Barbatos!"
"You betrayed the oath you made when you joined the Knights of Favonius!"
Facing Gene's excitement, Diluc did not give in. His response was calm and sharp:
"So, by joining the Knights of Favonius, you can only blindly follow God's will and turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people of Mondstadt?"
""Ha."
Diluk sneered,"Sure enough, no matter which world the Knights of Favonius are from, they are always so disappointing."
"You!"
Gene's eyes were burning with anger. His palms tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist. His knuckles lost blood due to excessive force.
His body was tense, like a fully drawn bow.
It can be seen that he is on the verge of exploding.
"What? You want to attack me?"
Diluk saw Gene's action, but he was not afraid at all. Instead
, he stood up calmly and reached out to pick up the big sword beside him.
The flames rose up and tightly wrapped around the sword, like a dancing fire snake.
"Come to think of it, during the fight just now, your attacks seemed to be focused on me."
There was a hint of amusement in Diluk's voice, and his eyes were fixed on Gene.
"It seems that you have a lot of opinions about the"me" in another world."
"If you want to continue the fight just now, I will accompany you to the end!"
""Okay, okay."
Kaeya's voice interrupted, and he stood up and walked between Diluk and Jinn, blocking their fiery gaze.
"Diluk, everything that happened in Mondstadt is just a story to us, don't be so angry."
"And Gene, the Diluk in this world has not betrayed Mondstadt. Your hostility towards him is a bit too much.
Gene's hand on the hilt of the sword slowly relaxed. After hearing Kaeya's words, his anger gradually subsided.
He took a deep breath and tried to adjust his mood.
"Sorry, I was too excited just now. Although I don't agree with your point of view,
I really shouldn't vent my anger towards [Diluk] from another world on you."
Seeing Gene calm down, Diluk also put down the sword in his hand and sat down again.
"Perhaps you should think about whether your anger is directed at the"me" in another world or at yourself."
"The Gunnhild family motto is: Always protect Mondstadt"
"Have you never thought about whether it is more important to follow God's will or to listen to the wishes of the people of Mondstadt?"
Gene clenched his teeth and remained silent.
There was a trace of pain in his eyes. Obviously, deep in his heart, he had struggled with this problem countless times.
The air around him seemed to become heavy because of Gene's silence.
Wendy spoke up and broke the silence:
"In fact, what I am more curious about is what happened to the God of Wind in another world 1,000 years ago?"
"What kind of opportunity caused his mentality to change drastically, leading [Mond] to embark on such a completely different path?"
