Original God, but the real world

Chapter 19-19-Hatred and Masks

Qin's expression was confused for a moment.

She subconsciously looked at Lisa beside her, hoping to get some advice.

Jiang Qing had already said it directly. The thousand-year hatred was unreasonable, but the Mond people were able to continue their hatred and resentment towards Lawrence to this day.

So there must be someone inciting hatred behind this.

Jiang Qing didn't say who the candidate was, but Qin had some guesses.

Perhaps he is the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, or a noble of Mondstadt?
[Have you never thought about this kind of thing? ]

Jiang Qing lowered his eyes, with a somewhat strange look on his face.

"Grand Captain Vanessa is kind-hearted. Even in the face of the atrocities committed by the Lawrence family, she still gave them a chance to live in the end."

"Of course I admire the kindness of the Grand Master, but it is impossible that everyone in Mond at that time had no complaints against the Lawrence family."

It was incomprehensible to Jiang Qing that he could survive.

Without mentioning the personal grudge between Vanessa and Lawrence, what Lawrence did alone was equivalent to a powerful official in ancient times trying to usurp the throne, but when he failed, he was not able to reunite with his family and could continue to survive.

Lawrence's bloodline could continue for a thousand years, which was something Jiang Qing could not understand.

Maybe this is Vanessa's plan, or maybe she has other plans.

For a person in the past, no amount of speculation is valuable.

"The Grand Master can forget all grudges with a smile, but Lawrence's atrocities were equally inflicted on the people of Mondstadt. The knights who followed the Grand Master will always have soil for hatred to take root in their hearts."

Jiang Qing's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

He is not from Mondstadt and is not involved in these hatreds.

Seriously speaking, Jiang Qing came here just to make money.

Ying stepped back slightly, her eyes filled with even more anticipation.

She can still spare some time to watch the fun.

Although it seemed to be a scandal of Mond, after listening for a while, she realized that her current status was not bad.

As long as the Mond people don't beg me, nothing will go wrong if I listen to them.

“When Vanessa was in power, she could suppress everyone and keep Lawrence in check.”

But Vanessa will eventually leave. Although it is not the death of a mortal, she reached the top of Sky Island and has never been heard from since. For Mond, it is actually no different from death.

Vanessa can suppress people's hatred, but after she left, everyone still settled scores and found faults.

Kaia leaned against the wall, his expression calm.

【It's still restrained. 】

[Since you suspect the Knights were behind this, how could you not think of the nobles who have even more competing interests? ]

He looked at Jiang Qing and admired him more and more.

Among the three major families of Mondstadt, Lawrence chose to become king, while at that time, Leggenfind and Gunhild chose to remain silent.

The background of Leggenfind and Gunhild was not bad. Even if Lawrence had become a tyrant, he would not choose to break with the other two noble families that were as famous as himself.

They were all great nobles left over from the Aeolus era. If Lawrence wanted wealth and power, he naturally had other ways to do so.

But it is by no means without conflict.

As his power grew, these families that were as famous as his own became thorns in his eyes and bones in his flesh, and he would not be happy until they were removed.

They have taken action, and when they decline, they will definitely be liquidated.

Jiang Qing guessed it, but he wouldn't say it.

It doesn't matter if you say the Knights, because it's obvious.

The early Knights Templar were actually an insurgent army that rebelled against the imperial order.

The rebels and the nobles who promoted slavery... Well, even if they just dragged Lawrence out and chopped him up on the spot, it wouldn't be considered a surprising news.

Isn't this a matter of course?

Why else would they revolt? To perform for the nobles and relieve their boredom?

But the same cannot be said of aristocrats.

Jyn is Gunhild's heir, Diluk is the head of the Leggenfindel generation, and Kaeya himself is Diluk's sworn brother... There is no need to talk about the nobility in front of these people.

Kaia was indifferent to this matter. He didn't have much feelings for Leggenfend.

Qin didn't expect this.

Lawrence was like this before she was born, and anyone could step on him.

Jean was born into an orthodox noble family and was destined to be a Knight of Favonius from the very beginning. She became the Grand Master by relying on a bit of luck, but it was natural for her to become a high-ranking member of the Knights Templar.

There was no need for her to care about a fallen noble who was being trampled upon, even if Lawrence had been as famous as Gunhildr in the past.

Jiang Qing paused for a moment and noticed a flash of light blue in the corner of his eyes.

He had no time to look.

Jiang Qing is not trying to popularize Mond's history and past.

Every story serves the purpose.

"Lawrence probably couldn't understand it. They gave up everything just to survive, but a thousand years later, people still didn't let them go."

They could understand the hatred of the Mond people. After all, they used to sit on the Mond people's heads and bully them, and even had to ask them for paper... They deserved the bad luck today for how tough they were back then.

But it’s been a thousand years!
They have remained silent for a thousand years, why do people still act like this when they talk about this matter?
Is your memory so good? Is your sense of hatred so outstanding?

Both sides of the hatred have their reasons, but it is obvious that the Lawrence family has reached a dead end.

The Mond people can slowly continue their hatred, continue to despise and be hostile, because it is a cost-free thing for them.

As long as you think of him at some point in time, or meet a Lawrence person, you can spit on and abuse him freely.

The other party has no right to refute at all.

Refutation requires status and power, which the surviving prisoners do not have.

Their resistance would only be met with more severe violence, and it was well known that the Order would not stand by them.

Hatred costs nothing to the Mond people, but this is not the case with Lawrence, who tolerates hatred and chains.

They are the tolerant party.

After so many years, whether out of resentment or simply understanding that tolerance and compromise cannot save Lawrence, the people of Lawrence should try to find a second way out.

Call it resistance or struggle, there is no way of survival in Mondstadt.

Jiang Qing's tone was calm: "So Lawrence will definitely choose to rebel."

Qin remained silent, and the people around her who were having fun remained silent.

Jiang Qing looked at Qin, and his inner confidence gradually built up.

She would definitely agree with this idea - even though Jiang Qing was wrong in fact.

But at the moment, Qin Hui felt that Jiang Qing was the right person.

The captain of the guerrilla squad active under her, Eula, is an outstanding Knight of Favonius. It is no exaggeration to say that Eula's daily accumulated military exploits are several times that of any other Knight of Favonius of the same era.

Even so, the rewards Eula received were completely disproportionate to her efforts.

Jyn did not suppress her, but due to the Mond people's resistance to Lawrence, if Jyn wanted to give Eula a corresponding reward, Eula herself would need to elevate this credit to a level that ordinary people could not do.

If Eula couldn't get the reward, then it was obvious that no one else was eligible.

This is a compromise and concession to injustice.

Qin was able to accept it, and Eula was mentally prepared, and both sides had similar attitudes.

It was also because of Eula that Qin knew that Jiang Qing’s words were not nonsense.

A knight who joined the Knights of Favonius and made valuable contributions to Mondstadt, she has yet to be treated fairly.

So what kind of environment do the Lawrence family face?
They will rebel, or rather, they will choose to fight.

Jiang Qing added at the right time: "Lawrence was indifferent before, probably because he didn't have the ability."

There was no chance of resistance from the beginning.

Vanessa's era was the strongest era for Lawrence. They lost that year and had even less chance after that.

"But now the opportunity has come." Jiang Qing lowered his voice, "The Fatui need a vanguard to test Mondstadt for them."

"They don't want to completely offend Mondstadt. At least before the expeditionary force encounters any problems, the Fatui will choose to act with masks on."

Kaiya twirled the coin in his hand. "Even if everyone knows, as long as there is no evidence left, it means that it didn't happen... Heh, normal means."

"If Lawrence becomes the agent of the Fatui, then many things will fall into place."

Jiang Qing said: "No matter how much trouble they caused in the end, it was justified - because Lawrence could harbor such malice towards Mond."

With Lawrence's mask on, it doesn't matter how big a fuss the Fatui make.

Lawrence must have had much more malice towards Mond, malice that could not be stopped even by destroying Mond.

It is a difficult thing to find right and wrong on the scale of thousands of years.

It is uncertain whether people are right to resent Lawrence, and whether a thousand years is enough for Lawrence to atone for his sins.

Jiang Qing is not a righteous person. Although right and wrong are important, he should always live his own life well first.

He only knew that Lawrence should be the gun of the Fatui.

Only in this way can he gain Yu Qin's trust once and then contribute to his plan.

So, become a mask for the Fatui.
