Original God, but the real world

Chapter 34: The God of Wind

When Youla saw Jiang Qing, she was a little surprised.

She could guess why Amber invited her, but Jiang Qing's appearance was a surprise.

"Ah, it was Captain Qin who asked me to inform Jiang Qing about something." Amber swallowed the food, "and then he happened to invite me to dinner."

Actually, I have already eaten it.

Amber, who has a normal schedule and is in good health, had already gotten up.

While Jiang Qing was still resting, she had already started her daily exercise.

But what can I say...it's no big deal to have another meal, right?

Anyway, we eat for people, and we are not really hungry.

"I see." Eula's eyes fell on the plate in front of Amber.

So is Jiang Qing.

"Eula, you don't have a good relationship with them, but Jiang Qing is not from Mondstadt." Amber said with a smile, "Maybe you two can become good friends?"

Amber felt that Eula was a problem girl who was somewhat similar to Cole.

Maybe having one or two more friends won’t change their predicament, but it will still be helpful.

She had a good first impression of Jiang Qing, so she agreed to Jiang Qing and brought Eula along.

"Maybe we already know each other?" Jiang Qing pushed the plate towards Amber so that she could eat more quickly. "Long time no see, Miss Eula."

"Long time no see." Eula nodded in response.

Eh?
Amber's eyes widened.

Eula is not good at dealing with strangers, probably because she grew up in an environment like Mondstadt, so she always shows indifference or strange attitude to drive others away.

This is not only to protect yourself, but also to protect others.

Other people's kindness towards Lawrence will arouse the malice of those who are hostile to Lawrence.

The malice is not only directed at Lawrence, but also at these "different" people.

Being different is sometimes not a good thing.

But when she is alone with her friends, she becomes much more normal and a little quiet.

She spoke to Jiang Qing quite normally, without any words like "What you said is totally inconsistent with the etiquette for talking to nobles. I will remember this grudge." In fact, it is quite difficult for ordinary people to say such words.

"I've looked for him about Lawrence." Eula explained softly.

"So that's how it is..." Amber's bunny ears drooped.

Of course, it was not the headdress that came alive, but the girl also lowered her head.

"This has nothing to do with Amber." Eula approached Amber, "It's... Lawrence's own business."

Jiang Qing smiled.

It's fun to post pictures with beautiful girls, which is more relaxing than always calculating benefits.

However, it is hard to say how reluctant Eula was to say this.

Lawrence's own business?

After being held accountable for thousands of years, if Lawrence still thinks it is his fault, then this family has a stronger spirit of craftsmanship than the Inazuma people.

The chatting time was very relaxing. Amber liked to tell stories about the wild, Eula was usually the person in the story, and Jiang Qing just listened to the stories.

This kind of daily routine is not stressful, and Jiang Qing is happy with it.

After arriving in Mond he had to come up with a long list of plans to achieve his goals.

Actually this is very bad.

The more plans there are, the easier it will be to be destroyed by variables, and the heavy nodes will make the plan have no ability to resist risks.

A good plan only needs to complete one node to revitalize the entire situation.

Jiang Qing wanted to too, but he couldn't hold on.

He could only pry the balance little by little to make the situation favor him.

Fortunately, it is a peaceful period recently.

"Oh, the [Sky Harp] is lost." Eula suddenly mentioned something that was not heartwarming.

"What do you think?"

She looked at Jiang Qing.

Amber looked at Jiang Qing with curiosity.

Eula was not in a hurry either.

Jiang Qing had a verbal agreement with her, but the two parties had neither planned the content of the agreement nor mentioned any specific bargaining chips.

But the problem to be solved is actually very clear.

Lawrence.

However, this problem has been in front of Eula for too long, and she is really not in a hurry.

If Jiang Qing can solve the problem that Lawrence has not been able to solve for so many years in just two or three days... then everyone would be a bit incompetent.

"Amber informed me of this matter. What can I say about it?" Jiang Qing spread his hands. "It's just that everyone thinks this was done by the Fatui."

"You think not?" Eula asked back.

When this issue is raised alone, the attitude of doubt is self-evident.

"What use is the [Sky Harp] to the Fatui?"

Jiang Qing definitely didn't mean to give a wrong answer.

He just wanted to guide these two to find the key.

"The [Sky Harp] is a sacred object left behind by the God of Wind... If there is anything special about it, it must be the God of Wind." Amber thought for a moment.

Of a harp from before ancient times, all that can be praised is its workmanship, its materials, and its owner.

Forget about the craftsmanship and materials, it's unlikely that the Fatui would appreciate this.

Then it can only be its owner.

"Well," Jiang Qing's smile became more playful, "Then this holy object should have been in the hands of the Mond people thousands of years ago? Have you discovered any secrets?"

Ah this...
Amber scratched her head.

It's really hard to say.

To say there are secrets that have not been discovered is not to admit that the Fatui can discover them?

It's a bit embarrassing that the people of Mondstadt don't understand their own things as well as the people of Solstice.

There are no secrets... If there are no secrets, why would they do something with this holy object? Simply to give Mond a warning?
This is the bad thing about logical reasoning.

Everything has to happen for a reason and a reason, and the truth is some things just don’t make sense at all.

Jiang Qing knows this, so he will try his best when logic and reason are still useful.

Only in this way can he make others listen to his reason when the world is unreasonable.

"I know a little more about this." Eula held the wine glass nonchalantly, "It is said that when the Sky Harp was lost, two people tried to lie to the nun."

And one of them even called himself the wind god Barbatos.

"It looks like it has something to do with these two." Jiang Qing said with a smile.

Amber blinked.

After hearing this, she was no longer very concerned about the issue of the [Sky Harp].

The information that Eula knows, Qin must also know.

Qin knows everything, and the problem is almost solved.

"What were these two people thinking... They knew that the [Sky Harp] was Mondstadt's holy relic, yet they went to ask the nun for it without hesitation."

"And after nightfall, the Sky Harp was lost."

Even if you want to get away, it's impossible.

Eula was a little confused.

This method is too crude. At least, you shouldn't ask first and then take action overnight after failing, right?
Not to mention where their confidence came from, just the fact that they could act overnight and succeed... is ridiculous.

"Perhaps they just want to expose this point?" Jiang Qing smiled meaningfully, "Let those who are interested know that they need the Sky Harp."

Amber patted her cheek.

She is just warm and kind, but not stupid.

Jiang Qing and Youla talked to this extent, so of course she understood.

"The Fatui?" Her object of suspicion was still so straightforward.

"Maybe it's the Knights of Favonius." Eula sneered, "This method may not be a joke."

The bard who claimed to be the wind god Barbatos... He didn't do anything himself, but just selected the right person and arranged and guided them secretly.

so similar.

When the God of Wind resurrected, he was able to restore order in Mondstadt from the very beginning.

But He was not in a hurry to act. Instead, He waited for Vanessa to grow up and then helped her rebuild Mondstadt.

The God of Wind, who has lived from ancient times to today, is almost the one who hates direct intervention the most.

He always abides by the free agreement he made back then.

Now that freedom has been granted to the people, let the Monds decide for themselves.

He really does not appear in the world, does not interfere in any affairs, and allows Mond to walk on the path they choose.

In the past two thousand years, the God of Wind has appeared only a handful of times.

The God of Rock sits in Liyue Harbor, General Thunder and Lightning sits high up in the castle tower, the little Grass King studies and grows in Jingshan Palace, and the Queen personally rules the Kingdom of Winter... They have never left and are always leading the entire country.

Only Mond.

Mondstadt is a country that is almost godless.

The God of Mondstadt will only appear in person when the people of Mondstadt are unable to solve the problem.

"The Knights?" Amber looked nervous.

She knew far less about the inside story than Jiang Qing and Youla.

Jiang Qing knows the plot, and Youla understands the God of Wind.

The manuscripts that Lawrence kept recording and studying about the God of Wind and Vanessa could fill an entire study. Over the past thousand years, they have pondered over the attitude of the God of Wind countless times, hoping to salvage something.

That's why Eula reacted so quickly.

The nuns in the church did not drag him out on the spot, which was a sign of mercy and can be seen as the nuns' kindness.

But if the Knights remained indifferent afterwards, then there would be a real problem.

Combining the two, Eula got an answer.

"Yeah." Youla raised her head, her eyes clear, "Unfortunately it has nothing to do with me."

This was an opportunity, but it had nothing to do with Lawrence.

Qin didn't inform her, which in itself was a good attitude.

"It has nothing to do with me. After all, it's just speculation." Jiang Qing was not surprised.

This matter involves too many things, not to mention the two weirdos who acted overnight and then had their homes robbed.

Just protecting these two weird Diluks was not something he could handle.

Diluk has been convinced, and in Mondstadt, the only person he trusts and who can help him is Jean.

What would happen if Jiang Qing was present?
Diluk will remain silent.

He won't show his attitude in front of people he doesn't trust.

Given Diluk's identity, even Qin couldn't force him to speak, let alone Jiang Qing.

That's why Jiang Qing took the initiative to cooperate and get away.

The rest of the things were indeed not something he could participate in.

In terms of the timeline, what follows is the search for the zither, dragon tears, failure, the decisive battle, and the removal of the heart.

Each step in this process is actually simpler.

Because the God of Wind is the leading actor, as long as the others can ga ga, he can lead them to kill indiscriminately.

As a god, Barbatos was humiliating throughout the main storyline in the early stages, but things became strange later on.

But in short, He is not bad, on the contrary, He seems to have a certain strength.

This is the best bard in the world, and he always writes heroic poems.

As long as these people follow his arrangements, everything will be over soon.

All that is needed is a little bit of force as support, and what Jiang Qing lacks most is force.

So he could only avoid it.

Besides, Qin didn't want him to get involved, and he certainly wouldn't go against his leader.

In fact, Eula also has this kind of combat power.

Unfortunately, her identity issue was indeed a headache, so Qin simply informed everyone of the matter but did not invite Eula to join.

"If it really is that person, then this is your chance, isn't it?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows, his words full of hints.

Eula was not in a hurry. She said slowly, "The acting leader will make arrangements."

"Among the various plans of the family, finding the God of Wind is the least likely one."

Of course, the god of wind could save Lawrence, just one word would be enough.

But why?

It was Lawrence who started the rebellion and went against freedom.

The weak one is Lawrence.

Why did Fengshen take care of Lawrence and give him a chance?
Lawrence was very anxious. They were on the verge of life and death every day, and life was worse than death.

But they did not lose their minds and pin their hopes on the impossible.

"For thousands of years, the family has tried various methods to destroy Lawrence's destiny," she shrugged, "Obviously, we have never won."

"That's why I tried to join the Knights."

"Most methods have already been proven to fail, so it doesn't matter if we try one more."

Even if the price is being disliked by both parties, Eula doesn't care.

Dignity is something that can be measured before the pressure of life.

What’s more, Lawrence has always lived in a hostile environment.

"If even the Wind God is impossible, then your only hope is the Grand Master." Jiang Qing cracked his knuckles and said in a relaxed tone, "It is impossible for Lawrence to produce a Grand Master. What you can do is to make the Grand Master realize that saving Lawrence is a more suitable path for Mondstadt than letting Lawrence be destroyed."

Jiang Qing didn't assume that the Grand Commander was hostile to Lawrence - that would be like sending a package under Big Ben, with it being placed upstairs while being sent downstairs.

Although the plan should assume the worst possible outcome, the possibility of not finding any chance of a turnaround is just like fate not being on our side and simply bad luck.

"They think so too." Eula was not surprised by this answer. "It has to be useful, right?"

But Lawrence, how can you make yourself useful?

They could not command force, nor could they join the center of the Order.

In this situation, wanting to make yourself useful and more valuable is itself an impossible thing.

Amber really didn't like the conversation between Eula and Jiang Qing, because their communication had nothing to do with knights, but was instead filled with exchanges of interests.

But she didn't hate Jiang Qing and Youla. What Amber hated was herself for never considering that Lawrence's environment was so bad.

In the past, every time Amber comforted Eula, Eula would accept and thank her.

And now the memory seems so sharp.

Most of the consolation seems so absurd and ridiculous when we don’t know the situation the other person is facing.

Good intentions should not be despised, but good intentions can also do bad things.
