Original God, but the real world

Chapter 38 38-I don't know, it just didn't happen
Lisa knew something about this matter.

After all, she was studying in Xumi, her teacher was an outstanding scholar, and her junior fellow apprentice was now the chief disciplinary officer of the Academy of Teachings.

It was because of her understanding that she knew this matter should not be brought up.

"I don't know how to describe this matter." Jiang Qing let out a sigh.

He raised his head, his expression serious and solemn, "When I was in Inazuma, I saw the Fatui sweeping out wandering samurai in the wild."

They are said to be wandering warriors, but in fact they are just a group of bandits and robbers.

"They didn't kill the warriors, they took them away."

Jiang Qing organized his words: "I don't know what the Fatui are thinking, but I think they definitely don't care about the wealth of the wandering warriors, nor do they care about the bounty posted by the Three Magistrates."

"I could kill but I didn't. I just took the person away."

“I don’t think this behavior is normal.”

Lisa narrowed her eyes slightly.

No... You can see the problem from just this little thing?

What on earth did the Fatui do to make you so wary of them?

Or...is there simply something wrong with you?

But this is also reasonable.

Killing wandering warriors is either for wealth or fame, but the Fatui have no reason to care about these.

The Northland Bank is a bank with banking ties in seven countries. As for its reputation... at least it's well-known.

So it's okay for Jiang Qing to say that their behavior is abnormal, because seriously speaking, it is indeed abnormal for the Fatui to attack wandering warriors.

Jiang Qing had expected this, so he pretended to be completely unaware.

"Not long ago, the acting leader gave me the authority to look through some files. While investigating the Fatui, I discovered two major incidents: the dragon Ursa's attack on Mondstadt and the Blackfire case."

"This was all the work of an executive codenamed "Doctor". He arrived in Mond just as the problem broke out. He then solved the problem and became a hero in the eyes of the public."

Lisa smiled, her tone as gentle as ever: "I know about this, too. Qin was also having a headache at the time."

"Because compared to this foreign guest, the Knights of Favonius always seem a little... incompetent at this time."

Incompetent is definitely not an evaluation of Qin.

If she really had to say something, she would only say that it was her own incompetence that led to this result.

But Lisa obviously thought so.

"I don't care about what happened in the past. I only know that soon after becoming a hero, the doctor proposed to the Knights, hoping to recruit some...soldiers from Mond?"

At this point, Jiang Qing couldn't hold it in anymore.

His mental preparation was already very complete, but even so, he still couldn't help it.

"Anyway, the earliest of these people went to Winter Solstice after the incident with the dragon Ursa." Jiang Qing skipped this somewhat bizarre question. "This incident reminded me of what I saw in Inazuma. Out of curiosity, I tracked down the whereabouts of this group of people and found that although they sent back letters and photos on time, few of them actually returned to Mondstadt."

"I have also investigated these people who returned. They almost all returned to Mondstadt at a fixed time. Obviously, this was to reassure the Knights."

"In addition, I also asked them about their specific situation in Winter Solstice. I found that although they all said that other people in Winter Solstice were living well, when asked about the actual situation, their tones were almost exactly the same."

Lisa's smile deepened.

"Isn't it enough to speak in unison?" she asked.

Jiang Qing looked surprised.

This is actually another version of suspicion equals guilt, using the guilt to suspect the other party.

He knew and believed that there was something wrong between Solstice and the Fatui, so no matter what evidence this group of people produced, he could interpret it as a conspiracy on the other side.

The same statement means that you have been arranged by someone and are saying things that have been prepared by others.

The inconsistent statements mean that they have no idea of ​​the real situation and are talking nonsense to each other.

No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with the behavior of the fools.

Jiang Qing already had the answer, and their answers, whether they were spoken positively or negatively, were only testifying to their own answers and would not affect the result.

Jiang Qing didn't believe that Lisa didn't understand, but since she said it was okay, then just assume it was okay.

"That's true. There's really no problem... It seems that my prejudice against the Fatui is too deep." Jiang Qing took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for bothering you. I hope I can make up for it later."

He turned to leave.

Lisa is definitely not a hidden chess piece of the Fatui, but since she doesn't know it, whether she is pretending or not, Jiang Qing has no interest in talking about it anymore.

Lisa was slightly stunned.

Jiang Qing flipped the table too quickly.

She just wanted to test him a little, but he immediately turned the table over and refused.

【She knows.】

Jiang Qing got the answer.

Lisa probably knew something about this, but she didn't tell Qin.

There can be many reasons, and Jiang Qing can even find a good reason himself.

Can't beat it.

If Qin knew about this, she would definitely notify the diplomatic mission directly and ask Zhidong to send back these conscripted Mond people.

This is the simplest way to solve the problem. Just bring the person back and you will know if he is okay.

The problem is that these people will never come back.

Are you going to let a group of dead people come back to prove that your life in winter is still stable?

how is this possible.

At this point, Jean didn't have much choice.

Her character is on the table, and having come to this point, she will definitely choose to fight back.

Protests are a given, and there will probably also be direct confrontation.

By then, it will no longer be a small conflict, but a trouble that can escalate into a head-on confrontation between the two countries.

Since the seven gods ruled the world and the seven rulers divided the territories among the seven countries, there have been very few major disturbances among the countries.

If we count back to the past, it was only five hundred years ago when the Seven Gods destroyed Kanreia, and a few years ago when Inazuma closed off the country.

Although Inazuma's Locking in the Country is also big news, the confrontation with Mond in Winter is obviously not on the same level.

At the moment, Mondstadt is no match for Solstice, and Falga's expedition has some cooperation with Solstice, so it is not surprising that Lisa has any ideas.

The reason they don't want to make a big fuss is that they don't want Mond to lose face and then lose money. After all, if everyone knew that Zhidong was recruiting cannon fodder in Mond and couldn't defeat them, it would be too hurtful.

He wanted to make a big fuss because he couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to fight for Mond at all costs.

It doesn't matter, they all make sense.

伱 can also be understood as weakness or recklessness, any interpretation is acceptable.

And obviously Lisa is the former.

Jiang Qing could understand.

He had many concerns before deciding to confront his opponent, otherwise he would not have chosen Kaia first.

Kaeya is not a native of Mondstadt, and his own interests are attached to Mondstadt, so he will definitely make the most sensible choice.

When the time comes, Jiang Qing will just follow this person's advice. If there are any problems, he can just pass them all to Kaia.

They all worked in the Knights of Favonius, and Kaeya's position and strength were above his, so it was reasonable for him to do things according to Kaeya's suggestions.

However, things were obviously different from what he expected.

Lisa just let Jiang Qing leave.

"Well, what do you think?" she asked suddenly.

“After all, they are not from the Liyue Seven Stars.” The man in the corner crossed his arms and said in a relaxed tone, “If the conflict breaks out, it will be very beneficial to Liyue.”

"It seems that his desolation at that time was real, and Qin's kindness and choice were not wrong."

The conflict between Dongzhidong and Liyue is well known. If Mondstadt intervenes and chooses to confront Dongzhidong, the Seven Stars of Liyue will be able to laugh out loud.

The reason why the Seven Stars were unaware of this matter was, firstly, because the Fatui were still very well behaved in Liyue, and secondly, this country was not interested in the affairs of other countries.

Liyue has the ability to sow discord in other countries, but they never seem to have this idea and have almost no interest in the internal affairs of other countries.

As long as everyone can do business safely, they have no further interest.

Jiang Qing's behavior shows that he is not a member of the Seven Stars, and is unlikely to be a member of the Fatui.

"Liyue has a good reputation, but the Liyue Seven Stars may not be so good." Lisa chuckled, "After all, they are a group of people who will shoulder the future of a country."

The merchants of Liyue have a good reputation in the Seven Kingdoms. Even the Seven Stars are the same when they are businessmen.

But the Seven Stars are not just businessmen, they are the ones who guide the future of this country.

If Jiang Qing was a member of the Seven Stars, he could arrange his own people to ignite public opinion, forcing Jyn to confront the Fatui and drag Mond into the water.

Lisa is not surprised at what methods the people who can sit in that position will use.

What's more, he would sacrifice Mond's interests to fulfill his own wishes.

That's why Jiang Qing couldn't understand why, since everyone was doing this, the three magistrates of the shogunate would sell out Inazuma's interests to fulfill their own wishes.

What a peculiar bunch of bastards!
"We can't let Jean know this news yet, at least not before we confirm what our Wind God is thinking." Kaeya said in a relaxed tone, "It's really troublesome to talk about it. Among the seven kingdoms, it seems that only our Mondstadt's God is like this, right?"

In fact, the gods of almost every country in the seven kingdoms will personally rule the country.

And the reason for this almost is because of Mond.

Lord Barbatos, respected by the Mond people, has appeared twice in the past two thousand years. This is the third time.

Even though everyone knew that Barbatos was still there, it was inevitable that everyone was upset when he hadn't shown up for so many years.

Lisa smiled but said nothing.

Why is there such peace among the seven nations? Is it true that no one has any desire for other people's resources and territories?

Are they all nice people who are gentle and polite to each other?
Of course not.

It's just because everyone has their own gods.

The seven countries all have their own leaders, such as the Seven Stars and the Shogunate, and it seems that humans are the ones who dominate the country.

In reality, the real owners of these territories are demons such as Morax, Barbatos, and Baalzebub.

Before we can deal with these demons, the means we can use are very limited.

Obviously, Zhidong is better at these methods than Mond.

In the worst case scenario for Inazuma, if things really get out of hand, they still have the open seas, and they can blockade the territory and play on their own.

What can Mond do if he can't win? Can he just lock himself in and play by himself?
It's so hard.

Barbatos can still intervene in active wars. If Winter changes his approach to attack Mondstadt, can Barbatos talk to the Queen about this?
This is too humiliating for the Demon God.

Of course, no matter what, a head-on confrontation is the worst option.

Mondstadt will suffer as a result, but Winter Solstice will not necessarily make a profit.

After all, it was impossible for them to station their troops in Mondstadt's territory. Mondstadt was the territory of the God of Wind, not just the people of Mondstadt.

Without the use of force as a deterrent, Mondstadt would be pushed into a corner. They could find more than a dozen crimes a day to make the Winter People disappear from this land.

Kaia and Lisa looked at each other.

"I never thought that someone could find out this kind of information just by looking at the files." Kaia was speechless, "It would be great if my men had this ability too."

"Do you really believe what he said?" Lisa raised her eyebrows. "It's a bit far-fetched and coincidental."

"We need evidence when doing things." Kaiya spread his hands, "I checked and found that there is no problem with Jiang Qing's identity."

"Even if he looks a little strange, what else can I do?"

During this period, Kaiya even dug up the other party's experience in Inazuma, and luckily met a girl from a fireworks store. This girl happened to have a relationship with Beidou, the captain of the Southern Cross Fleet, and was finally rescued by Beidou.

There were indeed two times in between when his identities could have been swapped. One was when he was captured by the shogunate for "friendly exchange", and the other was when he left the outlying island and was picked up by Xiao Gong.

But this is all nonsense, there is no evidence at all.

If there is any problem, it is that it seems a bit lucky.

But he is lucky to be alive. You can't expect him to die before you are satisfied, right?

That’s right, of course you feel relieved about the dead person.

That doesn't make sense.

"Let's put it aside for now." Kaia sighed, "I personally still have some doubts, but all the evidence shows that there is no problem with him."

"And we can't tell Jean about the Fatui. We still have to solve the dragon disaster problem first."

Many things that we don’t know about simply didn’t happen.

With Qin's personality, she would have fallen out with him right away if she knew about it.

But Kaia and Lisa are different, they don't have so much empathy.

These were the mistakes of the previous generation of the Knights Templar. What can they do about it?

If Qin wants to do it, they will definitely support it.

But if I can keep it a secret from Qin and make a decision when things become clearer, it's not impossible.

"The timing is wrong." Lisa shook her head. "The God of Wind has obviously used the same method as before. He is unwilling to take action himself, but chooses to guide the hero to solve the problem."

It’s hard to say what kind of thought this is... But since he has disguised himself as the bard Wendy, he is probably really interested in heroic epics.

"Lord Barbatos really keeps his word when he says he will give freedom to the people of Mond." Kaia clapped his hands with a smile, "Even if his own followers have problems, he will guide others to become heroes instead of solving the problem alone."

"Let's solve the dragon disaster first, and then we can tell Jean the truth." Lisa closed the book and said calmly, "This can't happen now. Jean doesn't have any more energy."

Not only Qin, but also Grand Commander Falga must be notified before falling out with Zhidong.

According to Farga, he now maintains a certain degree of tacit understanding with the Fatui, and although it is not stated explicitly, they are actually cooperating.

If I have a falling out with Zhidong, I must let the leader know about it.

If he is not allowed to have any preparation, wouldn't that create trouble for Farga?

"Jiang Qing must have known about this." Kaiya stroked his chin, "You just asked a question, and he immediately understood our attitude."

"But are you sure he will do what we want?"

Jiang Qing must have realized it.

He almost had the evidence in front of his face, and when Lisa asked him a question in return, he treated it as if nothing had happened. Naturally, he understood the attitude problem behind it.

"If he chooses to help Qin, he should understand that the truth at the moment is a problem for Qin." Lisa said in a leisurely tone, "If Jiang Qing is still exposed, his attitude towards Qin will be very clear."

If you don’t know, it didn’t happen. Now that you know, there is no way to pretend it didn’t happen.

The dragon disaster alone involved the incarnation of the God of Wind, the messenger of the God of Wind, the acting leader of the Knights Templar, and the owner of the Dawn Winery.

If there is another trouble, Mond will not be able to hold on.

Falga must have his own reasons for his expedition, which the Knights acknowledge and are willing to help.

But objective facts will not change for any reason.

It’s not working. It’s just not working.

If Jiang Qing insisted on telling the truth at this time, either he was stubborn or there was something wrong with his attitude towards Mond and Qin.

He is obviously not a stubborn person.

Can a stubborn person find out the truth from a pile of records?

[Qin can’t know this.]

Jiang Qing looked calm as he left the Knights.

The test was over. It wasn't that no one in the Knights knew about it, but that they knew about it and kept it from Jean.

It doesn’t matter why Qin wasn’t told before. Anyway, Qin can’t be told this news until the dragon disaster is over.

People have to be clear about their stance when doing things. Many decisions may not necessarily bring good results, but the decision itself must be correct.

It would definitely be wrong to lie to Qin. She was the acting leader of the Knights Templar and the one who helped Jiang Qing stand up.

But telling Jean the truth would also be the wrong choice.

The top leaders of the Knights Templar have reached a consensus that they need Jean and Mond more than they need each other.

They couldn't do this if they didn't want Qin to know.

【There is nothing we can do about it. 】

Jiang Qing felt helpless.

He had intended to create a big scene and hand the Knights a knife to use in action.

But since the Knights had this in mind, he couldn't cause trouble for Qin.

Xiao Gong saved him, not to add another bad person to the world.

Qin helped him, and although there was an exchange of interests, the other party's trust had nothing to do with interests.

I must repay a favor, that's all.

Then next, I will leave and take a rest.

Jiang Qing stretched lazily.

This was his last attempt, and all that was left was to wait for the story to develop as expected.

But accidents don't always happen according to his wishes.

Jiang Qing was planning to just muddle through, but the next moment, someone hit him hard on the neck and his vision went dark.

Who is this... Isn't this the entrance to the Knights? How arrogant!
