Original God, but the real world

Chapter 25-Two Extras and the Wind God's Messenger

Jiang Qing did the right thing.

When he was trying to attract Eula and the Lawrence family behind her, he chose the Knights' headquarters as the place for communication.

Jiang Qing firmly believed that both he and Eula were being monitored during this period, so he would not take any risks.

In fact, it was not much different from what he expected.

Jiang Qing's aimless wandering around the Knights' base was noticed by others, and Eula's late-night visit was also noticed by others.

Their conversation was also presented to Qin.

"It's a vague description." Qin put down the record in her hand. "But it's true. It's not realistic to lurk near Eula and eavesdrop."

Jiang Qing and Youla did not deliberately lower their voices, as if they were whispering, which was somewhat superfluous.

But there is no need to shout during normal conversation.

The reason why Eula was able to rise to a high position in the Knights Templar was simply because her abilities were superior to those of her contemporaries.

It's not powerful enough to crush her, but the last name Lawrence can drag her to death.

The person responsible for monitoring the other party cannot get too close.

Eula knew that she was being monitored, but knowing and confirming were two different things.

"It's not that we can't try, but seeing them chatting outside the Knights, it seems there's no need to try." The pale nun yawned, "I will continue to try to keep an eye on that foreign merchant."

The other party seems to be acting honestly, and it doesn't seem like they are really talking about something secretive.

But we always have to be careful in everything, so we'd better continue to keep an eye on that foreign businessman.

After all, he is not very experienced and is unlikely to notice me... Even if he does, it doesn't matter. He looks quite smart and he would not be unaware of why I am staring at him.

So even if they find out, they will probably just pretend they didn't see it.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qin waved her hand, "Rosalia."

"As long as it's not overtime, I don't mind." The nun said indifferently, "Night is my working time, and monitoring an ordinary foreign businessman is always easier than other jobs."

"Jiang Qing doesn't need you to monitor him all the time." Qin stood up. "I have a feeling that monitoring him won't be of any use."

This person is a little too open and aboveboard.

Rosalia raised her eyes and said calmly: "You don't believe him, do you?"

"I don't believe it." Qin answered very straightforwardly, "Some of the things he knows don't match his experience... But he seems to be useful, isn't he?"

If it is useful, you can try to trust it.

"Maybe he heard it at Inazuma... Well, never mind." Rosaria looked more and more tired. "Anyway, you won't be able to rest easy."

"But I understand your attitude." She accepted Qin's request, "I will investigate it in other ways."

Surveillance has no effect, it just means that this person is very good at acting or he is simply that kind of person.

Ordinary means didn't work, and as a nun serving the dark side of the church, she had other means to try.

But it is definitely not an extreme measure. After all, the other party seems to have come to us sincerely, and it would be a bit too much to torture him right away.

Rosalia didn't care. People in this line of work need to have a conscience, but not too much.

It is difficult to determine whether the other party is a human or a ghost until the end.

But Qin couldn't do that, and she couldn't accept such behavior.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Qing is not worth her attention yet, but if he insists on getting involved in Lawrence's troubles and involving Eula, she will have to spend some time on it.

Rosalia waved her hand, turned around, walked into the secret passage, and disappeared into Qin's office.

"Well, Lisa, what do you think about this matter?"

Qin was silent for a moment and looked at the librarian who was sitting on the other side reading a book.

At this moment, Ying is still suffering in the temple guarded by the four winds.

Anyway, it’s not the first time that everyone has been attacked by monsters, so cleaning up early or late won’t have much impact.

If the Knights of Favonius really dispatched personnel, they could certainly complete the mission quickly.

But the most critical task now is to examine Ying's attitude and ability.

Anyone can choose not to go to these temples, except Ying.

Yingmei didn’t have the ability to clone herself, so she could only clean them up one by one.

"Well... sit and watch?" Lisa replied with a smile.

She didn't really care about Jiang Qing.

It would be more accurate to say that she didn't care about Eula.

Eula's identity is a time bomb. Only people like Falga and Qin, who value talent as much as their lives, will try their best to pull Eula out of the quagmire, hoping that she can stand in the sun clear and refreshed.

Lisa is also optimistic about Eula, but Mond is just like this environment.

If you can't change the environment, everything else is just empty talk.

Mond is not a bad player, it's just that it's hard to change his behavior towards Lawrence.

"Do you still remember what Jiang Qing said at that time?" Lisa said slowly, and brought up the previous prank.

"He restrained himself and said it." Her expression became a little more serious. "Lawrence was like this thousands of years ago. It must not be because everyone has a deep record of hatred."

How could someone record hatred for thousands of years? Lawrence had been lying there for so long that he was no longer valuable.

“Someone is promoting hatred.”

Some people are using Lawrence as a trash can.

Whenever there was a conflict within Mond, when something went wrong with a policy—it was Lawrence's fault.

Turn everyone's mistakes into Lawrence's mistakes. Today's mistakes are due to Lawrence's wrongdoings in the past, which left a root of disaster for Mond.

That's probably the idea.

"Not just the high-ranking members of a certain generation of the Knights Templar... but also your family, the Legendenfend behind Diluc."

It is perfectly normal to kick someone when he is down.

Lisa hadn't cared about it before, but she understood when Jiang Qing mentioned it.

We cannot speculate about the reason why Lawrence was able to survive, because of Lady Vanessa, the hero of Mond, but the subsequent generations of leaders of the Knights Templar might have really planned this.

Anyway, Lawrence has been liquidated. Even if they are all pushed out and beheaded, it will only kill a few more people, and there will be no specific effect.

After all, Vanessa is launching a rebellion, and in such an environment, the death of a few people will not have a big impact.

But if Lawrence is left behind, any natural disasters or man-made disasters that occur in Mond in the future can be thrown into this trash can.

Anyway, it's Lawrence's fault for being indecisive.

The people don't really need a solution. As long as someone can take the blame, the Knights in power will feel much more relaxed.

"He doesn't dare to say that, but I don't care." Lisa spread her hands, "Even if you know this, will you still try to save Eula?"

The Gunnhilds are a large family.

Among them are good people like Qin's mother who was able to teach Qin to be an orthodox knight, and naturally there are also honest people who put profit above all else.

Even the Church of Favonius has executioners who are specifically responsible for teaching others respect and faith. How could all the nobles be good people like Qin?

"The family's choice has nothing to do with me." Qin answered simply, "I only know that I am in power now."

"If this matter is beneficial to Mond, nothing can be an obstacle."

Lisa was slightly stunned, then smiled helplessly.

"Okay, okay." She blinked, "Then try to trust that foreigner."

"I'll go take a look at the other little cutie."

Lisa still insisted on her own idea.

Her approval of Qin's character does not mean that she supports Qin's choice.

Lisa knew that Qin was a good person, so she chose to stand on Qin's side.

People can be lazy and tired but they cannot be without vision. Between a good boss and a boss who will sell you out at any time by any means, why don't you choose Qin?

But Lisa still doesn't support some of Qin's decisions.

But she would not object to the cards, she would just remain silent.

Saving Eula is a risky investment, but it's never a bad thing for the boss to have a human touch, and Lisa can't stop it.

But no matter what, the messenger of the God of Wind is always more important than an ordinary person like Jiang Qing.

"That's true." Qin didn't talk too much about Eula with Lisa.

It was her own decision and she didn't need any help from Lisa.

"This foreign traveler is the one who needs attention."

Compared with the messenger of the God of Wind, Eula and Jiang Qing are not even a bonus, they are far inferior.

"Her identity is questionable, but she has been recognized by the God of Wind." Qin folded her arms, "I should try to trust her."

"Because she is the one chosen by the God of Wind." Lisa blinked, not surprised by Qin's choice.

Seriously speaking, Ying is not as trustworthy as Jiang Qing, but Fengshen is standing behind her, so Qin cannot but give Fengshen face.

"Let's give her the honor first." Qin had already considered it. "Consider that she is really the messenger of the God of Wind. Give her an honor of equal status, a reputation that can be on par with the acting leader."

Reputation is also a very useful resource.

This is not a blank check, but a precious political resource.

But right now the Knights of Favonius have Falga as the Grand Master of the expedition, and Qin as the actual Grand Master and the nominal acting Master. Even if Ying is highly praised, she cannot touch the real power.

She herself is not of Mondstadt origin, nor does she have a corresponding team under her, so the efficiency of converting her fame is too low.

It takes time to have a reputation without substance, and it takes a huge amount of time to convert reputation into actual power.

And this period of time is the time that Jean gives to the Knights of Favonius to adapt.

"Then I will further consider the other party's attitude in the storm. Once I am sure of his ability and identity, I will apply to Falga and ask him to help me push Ying to the top."

With the joint efforts of the Grand Leader and the Acting Leader, it is certainly possible to push a stranger to the position of Grand Leader.

"That's exactly your style." Lisa sighed.

He just wanted to give up the position of the leader.

Although Jean was only the acting leader, to the people of Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius, she had long been the real grand leader.

Only Qin herself always insisted on her position as acting group leader and never overstepped the boundaries.

His attitude of giving up power is also decisive and decisive, just because the other party has the identity of the messenger of the God of Wind hanging over his head.

"Haven't you ever considered what might happen if the other party doesn't want it?" Lisa asked back softly.

None of them questioned his identity as the messenger of the God of Wind. After all, Ying did repel Tevarin in full view of everyone.

It was precisely because of this that Ying came into the sight of the Knights of Favonius, and the Fatui in the dark took action because of this.

Everyone saw that with Ying's initial level, if she hadn't received the blessing of the gods, there was no way she would have been able to repel Tevarin.

"Reject the Knights of Favonius?" Jean was stunned. "Will you..."

Mondstadt has declined somewhat, but it is still one of the seven kingdoms.

The Grand Master of the Knights Templar is actually equivalent to the uncrowned king of this country.

A foreigner was suddenly invited to be the king of a country, why would she refuse?
"Yes," Lisa said with certainty.

“Some people pursue different things.”

There is a huge gap between the upper and lower limits of the continent of Teyvat. Mortals are real mortals, while demons are great creatures who can open up mountains and expand seas.

Most people don't pursue power, because mortals simply don't have the opportunity to obtain that kind of power.

In this world where gods exist, if one's power reaches a high level, one can really wipe out a country as easily as crushing a sand castle.

Power and status are nothing but playthings in the face of such an existence.

They pursue power only when they cannot pursue strength.

Lisa thinks Ying is that kind of person.

She should be a person who pursues power, and such a person does not attach too much importance to power and status.

"Ying also said that she wants to go to the Seven Kingdoms to look for her brother." Lisa insisted on dispelling Qin's idea, "The Knights of Favonius can't have another Grand Master who can't come back, right?"

Objectively speaking, it doesn’t matter whether the captain comes back or not.

Anyway, the worst outcome is that Mond returns to its current situation.

But it's not necessary.

"I'm too arrogant." Qin shook her head.

She looked unusually confused.

"Although I have always insisted that I am the acting leader and not the grand leader, it seems that I have changed after Falga left for so many years. I take power too seriously."

[If you think you value power, then there are no people in the world who are indifferent to fame and fortune.]

Lisa smiled but said nothing.

"That's right. A person who can be favored by the God of Wind may become someone like Lady Vanessa in the future. Power will not do her any good."

Qin's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Vanessa, the person who was directly recorded in history as having ascended to Sky Island and was deified.

If one could become a great being like the Demon God, there would be no need to attach importance to the position of Grand Master of the Knights Templar.

Vanessa is Jean's favorite hero since she was a child, and she knows Vanessa's story like the back of her hand.

Qin frowned and thought, "But if that's the case, I should support her actions even more."

"She came here to help the Mond people solve their problems. If we can't give her something in return, it would be a bit unfair to her."

Lisa opened the book and said nothing.

They are all messengers of the God of Wind, so it must be the God of Wind who is responsible for negotiating with the other party.

Why do you always think about making up for others?
Solve your own problems first.
