Original God, but the real world

Chapter 27 27-Ah, yes, yes
Qin fell silent.

Jiang Qing’s reasoning is very simple.

It is true that Barbatos will not show up, but it is impossible for the Ice Queen to forcibly lay her hands on this land.

Each of the seven rulers has his own territory. The Ice Queen can use divine means to raise the upper limit of the executive officers, but she can't do it herself, right?
This is too unrefined.

As long as there is no problem with Falgar, no matter how powerful the Fatui are, they should not cause too much trouble on Mondstadt's land.

This is to face Mond's full-scale counterattack.

Mondstadt is not only good at verbal sanctions; the Knights of Favonius in their heyday were also a violent organization.

They can't match the Fatui, but if they're just trying to cause trouble for Winter, they're more than enough.

The desires of the fools are huge, so of course such troubles should be avoided if possible.

Although Qin knew that the Fatui had malicious intentions, she could not judge their determination without knowing their goals.

This is a normal line of thought - if Jean came back from the future, she would know that there was another psychopath among the Fatui who awakened the demon on the land of Liyue and almost flooded Liyue Harbor.

To be honest, the young master didn't pay any price later.

What can Jiang Qing do? He can only think that it is the hidden background story of the game.

Just like when General Raiden found out that Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo were traitors but only killed them, just like when Tartaglia released Osair but nothing happened, just like when Morax died, the production of Mora was interrupted but everyone still used Mora...

This is the background of the story. It doesn’t make sense, nor does it need to make sense.

But Qin didn't know.

Due to limited intelligence, she didn't know that most of the executive officers were mentally ill - it was hard to say whether Sanbing, Tartaglia, or Rosaline who dared to challenge Naruto were mentally normal, nor did she know that their target was the Heart of God.

In this case, it is naturally unclear how much they can pay.

In reality, the loss of severing diplomatic ties with Mond is indeed huge, but the Fatui can certainly afford it.

The reason they didn't use this method at the beginning was simply because they wanted to reduce their losses.

In addition, Barbatos' disappearance is also a reason.

The target is the Heart of God, but God is gone. Even if the [Madam] has any plans, she can only stay in the [Goethe Hotel] and wait for the opportunity.

But now the wind direction has changed.

Ying defeated Tevarin, and in the eyes of those who were interested, this was evidence of the appearance of the wind god.

I'm afraid Yingmei is being monitored by the Fatui now. No wonder she was intercepted when she went to steal the [Sky Harp] later.

There was no use for the Fatui to have this holy relic of Mondstadt, but the messenger of the God of Wind wanted it and was even willing to steal it, so they couldn't give it to him.

What the enemy fears, we should do our best to give him.

We will not leave any of what the enemy wants.

The Fatui are able to run rampant in the Seven Kingdoms, but if they don't even have this determination, they would be unworthy of their status.

Jiang Qing lowered his eyes.

This could be considered as taking advantage of Qin, but even if he wanted to confess, he couldn't explain the source of his information.

Jiang Qing had some favorable impression towards Qin - such an honest and kind boss, he wanted to follow him.

But this little bit of goodwill is not enough to turn him into a fool.

Qin Ruo has all the thoughts.

"Actions always have a purpose." She looked at Jiang Qing, "Just like giving must be for the sake of gaining."

There are definitely exceptions in this world, but the exceptions will never be fools.

"The Fatui have something they want, so they are entrenched in Mondstadt."

These are all very simple truths.

Qin fell silent.

Decision-making requires intelligence, but Mond’s intelligence network is completely on a different level than the Fatui.

The other side relies on intelligence to make decisions, while we have to rely on speculation and guesswork... I can't play this game any more.

"Then follow your speculation." She made a straightforward decision, "I will take responsibility if I make a mistake. It's better than doing nothing."

Qin was unwilling to put the pressure on Jiang Qing, so she took the lead in standing up and taking responsibility for her mistakes.

Since he asked the question himself, Jiang Qing was just a person who gave advice and could not bear such responsibility.

Jiang Qing almost cried out "adoptive father" on the spot.

This kind of boss is too good.

I take the responsibility, and if we do it right, the credit goes to you.

"After confirming that the Fatui will not openly resist the normal orders of the Knights, we can directly create trouble for them."

Jiang Qing remained calm: "If we cannot use military force, then the other party will definitely attack Mondstadt in other ways and force the Knights to compromise."

"But it will take time, and the Wind God has already awakened."

"As long as we can catch the wind god's messenger and solve Tevarin's trouble first, the Knights will be able to free up more time to fight the Fatui."

Qin already understood what Jiang Qing meant.

"Without knowing the Fatui's specific purpose, Mondstadt cannot directly turn against Winter Solstice out of pure suspicion."

Qin's eyes were filled with appreciation.

On the surface, Jiang Qing still wants to compete with the Fatui, but in fact he is just buying time.

"The most troublesome thing in Mondstadt right now is the dragon plague, not the Fatui."

Jyn really didn't know that what the Fatui wanted was the Heart of the God of Wind. If she knew, she would have cut off Falgar's expedition supplies and then directly started a war with the Fatui in Mondstadt.

At this point, she no longer cares about the consequences.

It is precisely because she does not know that she can speak so eloquently and confidently: "And the God of Wind has awakened."

Although he has never spoken to the people of Mond, the old man has already awakened, and this is the greatest confidence.

Jiang Qing lowered his head to hide his smile.

Anyway, the advantage is on me, right?
Qin is very confident.

Although she was talking about the Fatui, she was actually not worried about whether these people could cause any trouble in Mondstadt, but was just worried that these people would offend the God of Wind.

Also.

Today, when the seven rulers are replacing each other, a first-generation ruler appears in Mondstadt. Why would she worry that someone might cause trouble in front of the God of Wind?

This is Barbatos, who ascended to the throne of wind god two thousand years ago.

Looking at the entire Teyvat, the only ones who still maintain their status as gods are Morax and Barbatos.

"Yes, yes, yes," Jiang Qing nodded repeatedly, "Although I don't know why His Majesty Barbatos is unwilling to show up, but His Majesty must have a deep meaning for doing so."

Yes, yes, yes, the Demon-Subduing Sage next door thinks so too.

It was the Emperor who did this in the beginning, so he must have had his own reasons.

Later, people thought that the Emperor must have some serious illness if he did this!

This genius, who organized his own funeral and also had a lavish feast, completely shattered the Monkey King's imagination.

Qin's condition is not serious now, but she will soon become ill.

But seriously.

If one had not seen it with one's own eyes, who would have imagined that the mighty God of Wind was stepped on by a lady and his heart was easily taken out?

This isn't the way to play a fake match!

Qin was very satisfied.

As long as you praise Barbatos, you are a good person.

"It's normal that you don't know, but I believe that Lord Barbatos must be testing the people of Mond." Her tone was firm and determined. "After all, His Majesty has been away from Mond for a long time. He also needs a chance to see what the people of Mond are like now."

"The reason why He didn't step out to quell the dragon disaster must be to see how the Knights are performing now."

When Jiang Qing met Qin yesterday, this person still sticks to facts and would not make a decision easily.

But when it comes to Barbatos, Jean has already determined the answer.

Jiang Qing took a deep breath and smiled eagerly.

In Mondstadt, where you can just ask "May the wind god bless you" when asking for directions, this group of people's faith in Barbatos is truly unquestionable.

Since you are not from Mond anyway, just respect their beliefs.

So at this point, the situation became very clear.

Qin retained the vigilance of an acting leader and the desire to perform before a believer meets the God of Wind.

She was not worried about the dragon disaster or the Fatui, as she had the mentality that the Wind God would provide support for her anyway.

But Qin still wanted to solve this problem, preferably without bloodshed or loss.

This way, Qin could meet her god with honor.

What she wanted to show was that the Wind God gave freedom to the people, and that the people lived happily and joyfully in freedom, and did not live up to the freedom given by the Wind God.

Looking at the seven kingdoms, only the God of Wind completely gave up his ruling power and allowed the people of Mond to rule themselves.

This is a gift from God, and Qin doesn't want God's kindness to turn into foolish kindness.

Jiang Qing didn't know whether to sympathize or laugh.

Qin acted in the most appropriate manner of a believer and a person in power, humbly and politely waiting for the oracle and the arrangement of the gods.

The only thing she didn't expect was that Barbatos was not willing to show the bearing and ability that a god should have.

He played various roles as Venti, a drunkard, a bard, and even a criminal who instigated Ying to steal the Sky Harp. The only thing he did not have was the gentle, kind, merciful, and powerful God of Wind as recorded in Mondstadt's history books.

Not only that, He was killed instantly by the Lady.

There is nothing wrong with Qin's expectations; the problem lies with this Lord Wind God.

The honored acting captain quickly returned to normal from his wonderful reverie.

Qin coughed lightly and couldn't help but lower her voice: "Although the Wind God is protecting Mondstadt, we can't rely on him completely."

Her words were not cryptic, in fact, she meant that we have to be of some use.

I have given you your freedom if you want it, but you can't leave me with a mess, right?
The God of Wind will be unhappy.

Jiang Qing nodded repeatedly, like a ruthless nodding machine.

Me too...I feel the same way.

"That's exactly what we should do." He said with a serious expression, just like a Mondstadt person. "The people of Liyue are used to the protection of the gods, but the gods have given the Mondstadt people freedom, so we cannot let the gods' kindness go to waste."

"We have to solve these problems and let Lord Barbatos know that there is nothing wrong with His choice."

Jiang Qing didn't say anything about Barbatos being right... He must be right.

If there is a real problem, it is the incompetence of the Mond people, not Barbatos' kindness.

Qin's attitude became more sincere.

She wasn't quite sure whether Jiang Qing was fooling her or really thought so, but she did like what Jiang Qing said.

For example, since God has given us freedom, we cannot make a mockery of God’s kindness.

Freedom is what the people of Mond want, and God has given it.

If Mondstadt today has been reduced to the point where it can only rely on the God of Wind to solve its problems - then how do you deserve freedom?
"Although we cannot rely on Lord Barbatos, it is a good thing that Lord Wind God has returned anyway."

Although it is not used, having it and not using it are two different things.

Qin nodded slightly, looking very confident.

Being weak is indeed a problem.

If Mondstadt had the national strength of Winter Solstice and Liyue now, there would be no need for any planning.

Unfortunately, they didn't, which led to them always being at a disadvantage in negotiations.

But they have the wind god.

Therefore, the Fatui and Solstice can only compete with them in the negotiation arena, and cannot directly send their troops over.

Unfortunately, a country is weak and the concessions caused by its weakness will not change because of the existence of gods.

It is too cheap for God to be great but not interfere in every aspect of people's lives.

All in all, all the Knights' vigilance and precautions against the Fatui were just guesses.

Jean herself didn't want to take the responsibility of falling out with the Fatui just because of speculation.

From the perspective of the country, Solstice needs Mondstadt, and Mondstadt also values ​​the benefits that Solstice can bring.

There is no absolute supply and demand between the two parties, so naturally no one's words are particularly tough.

"I also heard of the reputation of the Northland Bank when I was in Liyue." Jiang Qing added at the right time, "The Fatui will not openly declare war on the Knights, but they can use the Northland Bank to interfere and induce."

"Although our goal is just to delay time and then take the opportunity to solve the dragon disaster under the protection of Lord Barbatos, but..."

A bit hard to defend.

Tevarin left Mondstadt in a mess, and with a little cooperation from Winter, Mondstadt's economy could be directly damaged.

Jiang Qing paused at the right time, giving Qin enough time to think.

There is no value in thinking about some issues, such as this one and the dragon disaster.

If you can't win, you can't solve it. If you can win, everything will be fine.

Obviously, I can't win.

Qin raised her eyes and stared at Jiang Qing seriously.

She was not very sensitive in this area, but her years of experience in handling government affairs had enabled her to see that Jiang Qing was misleading her thoughts.

Jiang Qing already had his own thoughts, but he never brought them up. He just used troubles and questions to seduce Qin's thinking in this direction, intending to turn the prepared answers into the results of Qin's own thinking.

People always have more trust in the answers they come up with themselves. Between what Jiang Qing said and what Qin thought out herself, she obviously believed the latter more.

Jiang Qing stood straight, his expression unchanged.

He has demonstrated his integrity twice. If Qin still doesn't have that much trust, he has no choice but to admit defeat.

"Speaking of [Northland Bank], it's easy to think of [Golden House]." Qin looked serious, "What do you think, should we consider asking for external help?"

She saw it, but she was still willing to trust.
