Original God, but the real world

Chapter 47 46-Can't afford to gamble (4k8k)

Things concerning Klee soon became a trouble.

She had gotten into trouble before over the years, but this time it was the most difficult one.

Although similar to some of the unintentional results in the past, the Fatui now stood behind them. With someone backing them up, the original small problem became a big problem.

"Acting Captain, are you not going to give an explanation?"

Anastasia, the Fatui counselor, spoke in a relaxed voice.

She placed the stack of photos and documents in her hands on the table, looking calm.

"According to our investigation, in the past few years, this Knight from the Knight Order... Spark Knight, right? You have given such a young child quite formal authority."

The title is not only an honor, but also symbolizes the power of opportunity.

Judging from strength alone, Klee fully meets this qualification.

But having this honor also meant that she no longer had the privileges of a child and was no longer tolerated and forgiven by adults.

"Over the past few years, this Spark Knight has caused trouble for these innocent merchants and travelers more than once."

"They are just going about their lives normally, but they have to endure unexpected disasters again and again."

"But the Knights never held her accountable. Often, the Knights came forward to talk to those who suffered losses, and the matter was covered up like this."

"Many times before, some merchants who depended on the Fatui also suffered losses because of this, but for the sake of the friendly relationship between Dongdong and Mondstadt, they had to choose to accept it." Anastasia paused, "But you can't do this every time, right? Sorry, this time the Fatui will stand behind them for their apology, they will not accept this kind of apology that never changes."

"We need the other party to bear the corresponding responsibilities and costs, not just compensate Mora and put him in solitary confinement."

These people certainly weren't members of the Fatui before, but they are now.

Many things about Klee have been settled, and not everyone is willing to come forward again, even if the Fatui give them enough rewards, even if they have a bad reputation.

But there must be someone willing to stand up and make a big deal out of this matter.

The records in the photos and documents simply describe these people as having suffered disaster for no apparent reason.

In the game, these things are simply described as: under the protection of the Knights, she was able to stay away from malice and slander.

If you make a mistake, the Knights will come out to talk and forgive you.

This explanation can be understood as that she did not make any big mistakes, or in other words, even if she made a big mistake, the Knights did not make her pay the corresponding price.

Qin's face was expressionless.

The reason why Qin could forgive Klee and give her so much love was definitely not because she was cute.

Alice and Albedo, there is no need to say much about these two people.

Klee has already shown enough talent. Her [Spark Knight] is not a toy given to her by Jean, but her abilities have reached the standards and she has been recognized by the Knights.

She grew up in the Knights Templar and has deep feelings for them. If one day, she grows up and becomes a witch like Alice.

With the long lifespan of elves, Klee can protect the Knights for a long time.

The future is promising, and considering her background, identity, and childish nature, the Knights do tend to favor Klee.

After the trouble, what the Knights had to do was to take the initiative to compensate Mora for the losses and bring Klee to apologize.

After the compensation was paid, looking at the people who came to apologize with their children... Kaia, Lisa, and Qin, any normal person would know that this is about the end.

Their sincerity is already very strong. Albedo brought Klee to personally apologize and ask for forgiveness... You don't really take it as a request, do you?

Go back to the solitary confinement cell and let the matter be over.

What the Fatui have to do now is to bring up these things that have already been turned over.

"I would like to ask, does the Knights Templar allow a dangerous person to operate in and around Mondstadt?" the counselor asked frivolously.

"I've heard you say that before. I won't emphasize that again." Jean's upbringing allowed her to remain polite even in such a situation. "The Knights would also like to raise questions with the Fatui. After the two unexpected incidents in the past, are the people of Mondstadt safe now that they have entered winter?"

The counselor didn't want to answer at all. She knew what Qin wanted to ask, so she was about to make a fuss and focus the matter on Ke Li.

Behind Qin, Lisa, who habitually slacked off, fiddled with the magic weapon in her hand, with arcs of electricity leaping out of her fingertips.

She had to remain silent and listen to everything Qin said.

"Be polite, Ms. Counselor," Lisa reminded with a smile.

"Of course they are safe." Although she didn't know the specific outcome, Anastasia's answer was firm. "The Fatui will be responsible for their lives in Mondstadt. Considering the strength of Winter's country, their lives will definitely be easier and freer than in Mondstadt."

Qin was not surprised by this answer, "Then please send these people back."

"No problem at all." The counselor agreed immediately, "All you need to do is wait for a while."

Of course, this group of people can't come back.

How could those who conduct human experiments return safely?

Even if they were still alive, the Fatui would never allow them to return to Mondstadt.

Then just drag it out.

Anyway, [Madam] has already made a plan, and the matter will be concluded soon.

Just hold on through this period of time.

As for what happens next...
Afterwards, they accidentally encountered an earthquake, a monster attack... In short, all those who were arranged to return died in accidents.

The Fatui are deeply sorry and are willing to compensate. Are you willing to accept the Fatui's apology?
"I have agreed to your request on behalf of the Lady. Do you intend to give the Fatui an explanation?" The counselor said slowly, "Many innocent people who rely on the Fatui are inevitably affected by the Spark Knight when they are doing legitimate business."

"Is this the way the Knights of the Order are shielding the criminals within their ranks?"

This question is a bit tricky.

The tricky thing is that not only is Klee in Mondstadt, but the mistakes she made are clearly recorded.

And now, the Fatui want to seek "justice" for these people.

Qin narrowed her eyes slightly.

There is no way to give a direct answer to this question, because it is indeed an issue of unfair handling by the Knights.

The Knights did indeed deal with every mistake that Klee made.

Albedo and Klee were forgiven by everyone. They paid enough compensation, and considering Albedo's status, no one was really willing to argue with him.

To the outside world, this matter has been settled. Even if the Fatui bribed these people in the past, it would not have any impact on the matter.

But Anastasia's statement was directed at the Knights, not the people.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" The counselor smiled. "I heard that the Knights' case is usually just a solitary confinement."

"But by coincidence, some members of the Fatui happened to see this little girl, who was said to have been confined as a punishment, running out and continuing to be active outside."

She placed her hands on the table, her expression turning serious. "You don't mean to say that she is still a child... or that this is the punishment your Knights give to a regular Knight of Favonius who has made mistakes repeatedly but never corrected them?"

Anastasia knew that this was another meaningless condemnation.

Klee might be punished later, but not now, and certainly not because of her words.

Simply because Qin Ye felt that she had to grow up.

In Mondstadt, the Knights have many ways to make this matter reasonable... After all, they are all old cases that have been concluded.

But she has won.

"It seems you don't want to talk about it." Anastasia blew the horn of attack. "The decision of the Knights of Favonius is really interesting."

"Don't you have a [Surf Knight]? I have heard of your name for a long time."

She said this with gritted teeth, and it wasn't all hypocrisy.

On a battlefield outside the wilderness, no one's life or death will matter.

And Eula has always been the uncrowned king of that battlefield. She rarely fails, and she will easily deal with the enemies she encounters, whether they are Fatui or mages of the cult.

Outside the wilderness, the Fatui's vanguard must never be left alone, otherwise this man will follow them and kill them.

In Mondstadt, they can also hang up the protective shields of the mission members.

But in the wild, there could be many causes of death, such as earthquakes or monster attacks. In short, the person died, but no one could trace it back to Eula.

You know it was her who did it, but you can't point her finger.

"By the way, how is this meritorious [Knight of Waves] treated in Mondstadt?" The counselor smiled warmly, "She has done so many things for the people of Mondstadt and solved so many problems. She should be a hero of the people of Mondstadt, right? You should also try your best to train her, right?"

"Will the people of Mond present this hero with a crown and respect, and offer him enthusiasm and love?"

Why are you arguing with a little girl?
Klee can certainly influence the Knights Templar, but there is obviously a more suitable person and a more suitable family here.

"She won't, won't have nothing, right?" The counselor's aggression became stronger and stronger. "No way, no way, the hero doesn't get cheers and applause, but the little girl who makes trouble all day long is forgiven again and again because of her age..."

She smiled, but her voice became colder, "The Knights wouldn't handle things this way, would they?"

Everything that happened was not meant to target Klee, nor was it simply a performance for Jean.

There is another guest.

Can Eula realize it?

Of course she realized it.

She even fully understood that this was the Fatui's plan to sow discord.

Maybe now, they have gone to the Lawrence family to discuss what to do next with someone who is in a high enough position to make a decision.

Can you stop it?

Of course you can.

It would be better to deal with Lawrence in advance.

Lawrence's betrayal was completely predictable. If it wasn't resolved in advance, then when they had completely gained the support of the Fatui, it would be troublesome for the Knights to deal with them.

"Of course, even if they want to eliminate Lawrence now, the Knights will have to take certain risks."

In Lawrence's mansion, Eula stood in front of the old man with an expressionless face.

"We can definitely guess what the Fatui are doing."

"I even know that you are unmoved, right?" The old man smiled. "You have made too many sacrifices to save Lawrence. The current situation is not enough to make you give up your efforts over the past years."

"But unfortunately, the Fatui invited not only you but also other people to the audience."

Knights, Jean.

"Now guess whether Qin can still trust you and Lawrence as always."

Eula closed her eyes. "I don't know, but I can't trust her anymore."

The old man's smile was gentle.

"Yes, even so, Jean is still willing to believe that you will not betray Mond. Even if she still believes in Lawrence, you will not believe that she still believes in Lawrence."

In this little drama, the Fatui are both the hosts and the performers.

It invited Lawrence and the Knights to take a seat and enjoy this show about uneven rewards and punishments.

The ending of the story was already written from the beginning.

It is not written for anyone, it is just to expose the contradictions, nothing more.

It doesn't have to be Klee, anyone can do it.

Contradictions have always existed.

"Lawrence has been ignored for thousands of years. You and I know this, and the acting leader must know it too." The old man said in a calm voice, "We are dissatisfied, aren't we?"

"Who can be in this kind of environment and not feel a little angry?"

This was something that was destined long ago.

Ever since his ancestors chose to live in disgrace, Lawrence was destined to follow this path.

The fools do not need any inducement or exchange of interests, they just need to expose the contradictions.

"She knows that we are dissatisfied, and she also knows that the Knights will not give Lawrence a chance." Eula opened her eyes again, her eyes calm, "So she must know that Lawrence will definitely choose to betray."

After failing to become king, Mond never gave Lawrence a chance to be a good person.

So of course she knew that Lawrence could only be a bad guy.

"I can trust her, but I can't gamble with the lives of my entire clan."

"Jin can trust me, but she won't gamble with Mond's safety."

The conflicts left over from the Vanessa era finally erupted.

They neither cleaned up the so-called sinners out directly nor gave them a chance to reform.

So sinners can only continue to be sinners.

Jean and Eula have enough tacit understanding, but the two parties making the transaction are not them, but Mond and Lawrence.

They can't afford to gamble.

Of course, because of his foresight, he has an influence on the overall situation, but he has no way to step into the overall situation. He will be GG as long as there is a storm.
