Original God, but the real world

Chapter 57-56-Long-term Vision
Jiang Qing could totally understand.

Rosalin was holding her breath and wanted an answer, but seeing that Wendy didn't resist even though she was like this, she knew that she would not get any answer.

For a god who doesn't even care about his own humiliation, Rustam's death probably isn't a big deal to him.

But that doesn't make sense.

The God of Wind protects Mondstadt, but the people of Mondstadt actually give nothing in return.

Whatever they can offer is of no value to the wind god Barbatos. The reason why he protects the world is unclear, but it is definitely not for any reward from them.

All of Mondstadt belongs to Him. What can the Mondstadt people living on the land of Mondstadt give Him that He wants?

Of course, for Wendy, wine and poetry are still very valuable.

Since the overthrow of the Lone King of the Tower, Mondstadt has become the territory of Barbatos, and the God of Wind allowed them to recuperate and develop their own civilization in this territory.

A thousand years ago, He chose Vanessa, overthrew the rule of the aristocracy, and brought the glory of freedom to Mondstadt again.

Five hundred years ago, He awakened from His slumber and summoned Tevarin and Durin to fight, which was something that everyone should be grateful for.

More? He is just a god, not your father.

Barbatos owed the Monds nothing.

This truth is very clear in Mond’s history, so in any record, He is a noble and glorious God.

The people prostrated themselves before His authority and sang praises to the greatness of the God of Wind.

Rosalyn herself knew that this hatred was unreasonable.

Responsibility obviously goes hand in hand with power. The people of Mond are not qualified to give Barbatos any power. Their freedom was given by Barbatos.

In this case, it is simply unreasonable to hold Barbatos responsible for anything.

Just because He was willing to stand up in the end and actually resolve the Disaster of Durin, all the Mondstadt people who survived the disaster, even the dead Mondstadt people, have no right to resent this "late" God of Wind.

But Rosaline was the person involved, her lover died, and she remembered the incident for five hundred years.

After all, principles cannot be used as criteria for action, and knowing the principles does not mean that you must abide by them.

Rosaline returned from Xumi with great expectations, but she only received the news of Rustan's death.

As the current deputy leader and future grand leader, Rustan led the charge in this disaster and ultimately died because of that.

The disaster exceeded Mond's tolerance limit. He was able to arouse everyone's morale, but it did not affect their failure.

Because of Rustan's death, Rosaline used all her strength to activate the fire element and almost burned herself into a shell.

It was at this time that she came into contact with the Fatui, and became their executive officer, gaining the favor of the Queen.

As time passed, the confusion and understanding that remained in her heart turned into resentment and hatred.

She had been waiting for this opportunity to talk to the God of Wind for a long time, so she even threw the Fatui's plan behind her and went to provoke Venti to see the decision of the incarnation of the God of Wind.

As a result, Rosalyn knew the matter was over as soon as she made her move.

She couldn't get an answer.

Because the god in front of her was a peerless freak who could remain indifferent and swallow the humiliation of mortals.

Once she realized this, Rosalyn no longer had the heart to continue.

After all, he is a god, and a god who has protected Mondstadt for many years.

It would be fine for her to obtain the Heart of God for the Queen, but if it wasn't for an answer, she wouldn't do such a thing.

"How is it?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows, "Do you feel that your head is too big?"

Ye Lan looked numb.

She watched Rosalyn pinch Wendy's neck, and the contempt in her movements made her hold her breath.

Wendy's conversation with the lady lasted as long as her pauses for breath.

Fortunately, Ye Lan's physical condition was quite good, and she was not forced to breathe.

Even though the previous intelligence revealed the casualness and laxity of this incarnation of the God of Wind, he is still a true god after all!

Madam, aren't you afraid of death?

“More than that.” She took a deep breath, “I don’t even know how to write a report for Ningguang.”

"How about we just skip this matter and pretend it never happened?"

Ye Lan's mentality regained some calm.

She doesn’t know what the lady is thinking, but she has her own tasks and life. If she can’t understand, then she won’t understand.

"She seemed to have taken something from the bard..." Ye Lan stretched out her hand and rubbed her brow, with a thoughtful look on her face, "It seems that this is what the Fatui have been planning for so long."

She didn't see it clearly at all.

At that moment, it seemed as if something like a mirror blocked the view.

Ye Lan could only see Wendy being grabbed by the neck by fate, as weak and powerless as a kitten.

[Heart of God] is also considered a secret intelligence in the continent of Teyvat. Ye Lan is the head of intelligence, but her opponents are at most the Fatui.

The plan to seek the Heart of God is something that only high-ranking officials like the Executive would know, even among the Fatui.

The other advance troops and debt handlers only know what they are going to do and don't need to know the reasons.

"Many people are curious about what the Fatui are thinking. According to common sense, when their plan to cause trouble is exposed, the lady should consider backing off." Jiang Qing must not know anyway. "Trade with Mond is a huge source of income. There is no need to take such risks."

Fools do bad things for profit.

If you continue even after you have been caught, it means that the benefits of continuing are too great.

It is so big that people are reluctant to let it go, and it is big enough to make up for the losses caused to the Kingdom of Winterfell by the Mond Winter split.

"Now it seems that this is the reason why she insisted on doing so." Ye Lan frowned slightly.

Ye Lan was very curious about what the lady had taken at that moment.

She didn't know, but someone must know.

Now it is said that key information has been found, but that thing was taken from the incarnation of the God of Wind. Ye Lan doesn't think he can find relevant records even if he wants to look for information.

She had no idea whether it was a treasure that Barbatos had obtained from somewhere else or something that belonged to Barbatos himself.

Ye Lan was a little worried.

She couldn't tell anyone about this matter. It wasn't just a problem of the Fatui. She even thought that Barbatos might have signed some kind of contract with the Queen of Winter.

Otherwise, how do you explain that the lady took away something from the God of Wind?
Without the appearance of the Queen of Winter, it couldn't be that there was something wrong with Barbatos himself!
In this way, although Mond has fallen out with Winter Solstice on the surface, in fact, he may still be a deep-level collaborator of Winter Solstice.

After all, the Knights would be angry if Mond's interests were damaged, but they had to obey the arrangements of the God of Wind even more.

But if this is the case, Mond's position is hard to say.

Liyue planned to cooperate with Mondstadt to deal with Zhidong, but it turned out that Mondstadt was actually Zhidong's hidden chess piece.

Ye Lan felt so worried just thinking about it.

Jiang Qing didn't know that Ye Lan had already thought of this.

He was still standing on the first floor, and Ye Lan had already seen the atmosphere.

It’s too far, the vision is really too long-term.

Ye Lan put down his right hand, let out a long breath, and put the matter behind his mind: "But you don't seem to be very surprised."

She couldn't hold it any longer.

Barbatos's reaction was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and it was hard for Ye Lan not to wonder whether the God of Wind had changed his position.

Or perhaps the Queen of Winter offered him an offer he couldn't refuse.

If this is true, no matter what trouble the Fatui cause today, Mond will still be the partner of Winterfell.

The people of Mond can reject winter, but they cannot reject the god of wind.

Jiang Qing shrugged, "What the Wind God looks like has little to do with me."

"I was shocked too. When I think about what happened to me, I don't have the energy to care about others."

Of course he knew that he should show the same shock as Ye Lan at this time - seriously, who wouldn't be confused when seeing this scene?

The God of Wind had fate strangled his neck, and in the original plot he was slapped in the face and trampled.

Anyone would be shocked at what Wendy was up to.

But Jiang Qing thought for a moment and decided to deal with it calmly.

At this point, Mond's story ends and his copy should be settled.

Jiang Qing can't get used to being humble and submissive.

Of course, people have to learn to keep their heads down, especially in this damn world where no one knows what kind of people they will encounter on the road ahead.

It is possible that a dragon or a demon will jump out in the next second. You have no choice but to accept such a fate.

But learning to bow your head and getting used to bowing your head are two different things.

When Inazuma woke up, he had already learned to lower his head, otherwise the samurai there would have chopped him to pieces.

When you feel powerless, you really have to bow your head.

But bowing your head should be for the purpose of turning the situation around, not just for the sake of survival.

Lawrence had already experienced the pathetic nature of the latter, giving in only to stay alive, with results that were no better.

If they had this idea back then, they might have done something that would be infamous for eternity.

Now...if they don't join that side, they won't even be able to stand up.

It is true that being kind to others and being harmonious will bring wealth, but there is no need to be aggressive and mock others even if they are capable.

But being humble and submissive is not the right thing to do.

Ye Lan looked at Jiang Qing deeply.

She couldn't tell what cards Jiang Qing had, but what she could be sure of was that there was something wrong with this person.

"You didn't encounter any demons or devils in Inazuma, did you?" Ye Lan reminded, "You have to be careful. No external factors are free."

"Even if you are favored by God, you still need to take extra risks."

Confidence cannot come out of thin air, just like a person's back cannot suddenly become straight.

He could be humble before, but suddenly he became tough again.

It's not impossible that he would become arrogant once he's safe, but Ye Lan doesn't think Jiang Qing is that kind of person.

"I know." Jiang Qing smiled. "We are going back to Liyue. There are immortals and exorcists in Liyue Harbor. We can visit some famous mountains or ask for help from the alchemists. If there is any problem, we can definitely solve it."

"As long as you know your limits." Ye Lan nodded.

She doesn't necessarily have to ask about matters involving personal privacy.

"Oh, right." She changed the subject. "Ningguang asked me to tell you that the Mora that Qin paid for you is temporarily in her hands, and your family's debt is also handed over to her."

"When you return to Liyue, Mora will be handed over to you, and you will be responsible for resolving the debt issue."

Ningguang is very good at using the money earned from the piano to sell it.

Although she didn't know whether Jiang Qing was worthy of her kindness, it was just a matter of moving her fingers, and Ningguang didn't need to give up any chips, so she just did it.

"You are returning home in glory." Jiang Qing was slightly stunned, and said sincerely, "Thank you very much."

Qin threw the bill to Ningguang. She paid the money and Ningguang settled the debt.

Ningguang detained Mora and all the debts, waiting for Jiang Qing to go back and settle the debts himself.

Everyone might be curious about Ningguang's appearance, but when he appeared on his own, he went from bankruptcy to a desperate counterattack in just a few months, and finally returned home in glory.

Ye Lan waved her hand.

Superficial gratitude has no practical significance. She knows that Ningguang must be looking forward to real rewards.

After the lady left, the matter was still not concluded.

The Lawrence people's actions continued.

The Fatui disguised as Lawrence created panic and attracted the attention of the Knights and the Church.

According to the intended plan, they were originally intended to divert the guards around Wendy and minimize the impact of the executive officer's actions on the incarnation of the God of Wind.

But there was a slight mismatch between expectations and reality.

There was no audience around Wendy except Ying.

After Diluk and Jean left first, the other members of the Knights naturally followed.

Tevarin directly swept away all the outer monsters.

When it comes to range damage, He is simply too strong.

The monsters outside the city walls were all dead, and with Tevarin watching nearby, it was of course safe.

So they immediately shifted their target and began to move inward.

It was at this moment that Rosaline seized the opportunity and pinned down Ying and Wendy.

Of course, she had prepared for the worst, which was to take action in front of Qin and completely drive the acting leader crazy.

But Jean had already left on her own initiative, and there was no way Rosalie could call her back to watch her and Wendy's heartfelt conversation.

Rosalin was a little surprised at how smoothly the plan was implemented. It was as if in an instant, the people around Wendy suddenly had something to do, and then he was left alone.

Oh, and there's a little blonde sister.

While one side was finishing up, Ying, who had been released, rushed over and helped Wendy, who was lying on the ground.

Her expression was so sad that Paimon wondered if he had forgotten something, such as that Wendy had actually saved Ying when he didn't know.

Paimon just wanted to comfort Ying, but the words were yet to come out.

"Hey, hold on a little longer!" The girl, who seldom spoke, shook Wendy's collar vigorously, "At least say what you need to say before you leave!"

"Calm down, Ying!" Paimon threw himself on Ying's face. "If you keep doing this, the singing business might really be in trouble."

The God of Wind is definitely fine, but it's hard to say about this incarnation.

Ying shook twice unwillingly, and Wendy coughed twice and recovered alive.

"Singer, are you okay?" Paimon tentatively reached out and patted Wendy's cheek gently.

"I don't know if it was good just now, but it's definitely not good now." Wendy rolled her eyes, "I have to go and rest first."

After performing her last scene, Wendy was eager to leave.

Without giving Ying a chance to persuade him to stay, he waved his hand and said, "Let's meet at the old place."

The next moment, the man who just looked shaky and sick walked so fast that Ying didn't even have time to catch him.

"Wow, why are you like this?!" Paimon was annoyed. "You didn't even use elemental power when you were fighting the monster just now, and now you're using elemental power to run away?"

The two looked at each other and could only watch Wendy's figure gradually disappear.

This person...runs so fast.

"It's really an act!"

When charging into battle, he doesn't even want to use any wind elemental power, but when running away, he can run very fast and even use the elemental power.

Paimon waved his little fist.

Even someone like her who was used to slacking off felt her fist harden at this moment.

"It's a half-good thing." Ying seemed to be thinking about it. "Wendy is not a bad person. Since he deliberately indulged himself, this is obviously a good thing for Mond... At least it's not a bad thing."

She stroked the hilt of the sword, very dissatisfied with her performance just now.

Ying's strength was suppressed too harshly.

Even if her body reacted, she would not have enough strength to resist if the other party forced her down.

[I can only hope to come into contact with the new Seven Days Statue and regain more power. ]

She shook her head and brought the question back on track: "Does Paimon understand the Heart of God?"

Wendy is still alive, so there is no need to rush.

People can't just run away.

"Paimon doesn't know." Paimon shook his head.

Ying's eyes narrowed slightly.

She saw the lady take out a green chess piece from Wendy's body, which she called the Heart of God.

Although the lady didn't say much, like a perfect villain, she got the things and left without any intention of showing off or staying.

However, Ying knew very well that this was definitely the final plan of all the arrangements and arrangements made by the Fatui for such a long time.

The girl pulled up her hair by her ears and looked up.

Even these fools were abandoned pawns, and in the end they only took one thing away.

If she knew more, she might have a chance to force the Fatui to do things for her.

Is the Heart of God related to the Eye of God?

"It's okay." She wasn't disappointed, "It's normal that Paimon doesn't know."

Ying's eyes were meaningful.

Paimon is not simple, but... since she said she doesn’t know, then let’s just pretend she doesn’t know.

"Let's go ask Wendy."

There's no need to delve into Paimon's secrets as long as someone knows about it.

Ying allowed Paimon to have secrets.

She was secretive and didn't reveal everything.

Naturally, he didn't think Paimon had to confess everything to him.
