Eula Lawrence?

Madam, remember this name.

"Where is she now?"

"We should go to the snowy mountains now, right? After all, the people of Mond hate Lawrence so much that he will be looked down upon if he stays in the city. And Mond Snowy Mountains are rarely visited because of the weather, so it's a good place to relax."

The lady nodded and said, "Very good, Agong, you will continue to track down the whereabouts of the wind god Barbatos. I will go and contact Lawrence's people to test the waters."

The lady said as she walked out the door.

"Yes, ma'am!"

A Gong bent down and spoke respectfully until the lady was completely gone. Then A Gong raised his head. The playful look he had before completely disappeared, and he looked at the lady's leaving back with cold eyes.

"You are the same as I said to Mond before. You are a fool but you are pretending to be smart. Rosalin Kruschika Lowfat, you will shed your last drop of blood in Mond!"

In the snow-capped mountains of Mondstadt, the cold wind blew through her hair, and Eula let out a breath softly.

Living in such a world and being born into such a family, Eula, as the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family and the biological daughter of the current head of the Lawrence family, has received the best education in the family since childhood.

Eula remembered Amber's greeting from before.

I once trained with Amber's grandfather, and I also met Amber when she was still young. Amber was the first friend I made. I was the happiest at that time. Most people in Mond were hostile to Lawrence, but Amber didn't mind and played with me very friendly. Amber was very noisy when she was a child. She climbed trees to take bird eggs and jumped down from high trees. She was very energetic. Sometimes I often fought with Amber during training, but I always won. Facing Amber who pretended to be unhappy, I scratched Amber's nose and said, "Sorry, Amber, forgive me."

At this time, Amber would smile and say, "Okay, I'll forgive you if you apologize. Let's go play together!"

That day, Amber and I were tired from training, so we held hands and lay on the grass. I asked:

"Amber, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

"Of course I want to join the Knights of Favonius and become a knight! I want to be a great scout knight like my grandfather!"

"That's it."

Eula has been more understanding than other children of her age since she was young. She keenly discovered that since she and Amber started playing together, Amber's other playmates began to distance themselves from her.

Is it because of yourself?

If I continue to be with Amber, not only will I not have a perfect childhood, but even Amber's future as a knight will be affected, right?

So Eula was very sensible and took the initiative to distance herself from Amber.

In the eyes of others, he was already a qualified Lawrence person, and he began to actively distance himself from outsiders.

I'm sorry, Amber, it's not that I don't want to pay attention to you. You can be said to be the most important person in my life. To prevent rumors, please forgive me again.

Youla apologized silently in her heart.

Chapter 55: Family and Country

There was still sadness on Eula's face.

There have always been conflicts between Mond and Lawrence. In order to ease such conflicts, she chose to join the Knights Templar. However, the conflicts between them not only did not ease but intensified. She used to know some situations at home, but she keenly noticed that now her family members deliberately avoided her when talking about some things. In the Knights Templar, because she was a member of the Lawrence clan, she did not participate in some important discussions to avoid suspicion. Every day in the Knights Templar, she would go out to do tasks when there were tasks, and be idle when there were no tasks, just like a standard tool man.

I seem to be caught between a rock and a hard place. On one side is my family, and on the other is my country, but I don't have complete trust from either side.

Which is more important, family or country?

Eula thought about this from time to time.

Is it the country that is more important? After all, Lawrence is also a part of this country, Mond. Everything Lawrence is going through now is just to atone for the mistakes made by his ancestors.

Thinking of this, Eula felt a little better.

Thinking too much is also a kind of trouble. I really envy Amber...

Thinking of Amber, a rare smile appeared on Eula's face, but she soon frowned and her face changed. She picked up the big sword in her hand and shouted to the side: "Who! Who is there!"

"Oh? You have good vigilance, Eula Lawrence, the Wave Knight of the Knights of Favonius."

Ignoring Eula's hostility, a tall fiery red figure walked out from the darkness and approached Eula step by step.

"The eighth executive officer of the Winter Kingdom's Fatui, ma'am."

Eula's face was a little solemn. Why did the Fatui's executive officer come to the snowy mountains instead of staying in Mondstadt? No, it looked like he came to find me.

Is there something about me that would warrant the executive coming to my door? Or is there something she wants from me?

"Don't be so nervous. If I want to attack you, you can't stop me." The lady walked to the opposite side of Eula and stopped, saying in a proud tone, "I'm sure you have heard about my strength."

"A witch who returned from Sumeru five hundred years ago in Mond. She took advantage of the fact that the entire elite knights of Mond had just dealt with a sneak attack by monsters, killed everyone with fire, and then defected to Winter Solstice."

This was the information that Eula saw in the Mond Library. Compared to herself, who was only slightly famous in Mond, the lady in front of her had already been notorious five hundred years ago.

"Is that what Mond recorded?" The lady chuckled disdainfully. "That's right. After all, so many people died. Someone is always needed to cover up the mistakes in decision-making, right?"

I mean, isn't that the case?

"No matter what, what can't be changed is that Mond is really weak now. Even if a sinner like me appears in the city openly, the people of Mond dare not do anything to me."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"Such a weak Mond cannot withstand the torture."

Eula's eyes narrowed.

Does she want to harm Mond?

"You look puzzled, so I'll ask you directly, how much do you, a member of the Lawrence family, know about the footprints of Barbatos, the wind god of Mond?"

Asking about the whereabouts of the God of Wind? Was it her own idea, or was it the idea of ​​the Kingdom of Winter?

Eula gripped the weapon tightly in her hand.

"You are in this posture, do you want to fight me? Putting aside the difference in strength between us, don't forget that nominally, I am a diplomat of the Kingdom of Winter. Even your captain has to be respectful when he sees me. Are you prepared for the consequences of fighting me that will have on Mondstadt?"

As she spoke, the air around them became scorching hot, and a circle of fire spread from under the lady's feet. The two of them were in an environment surrounded by flames, and the raging fire burned around them, making noises.

Eula sensed the active fire elements around her.

Can he use such fire elemental power even in an environment like the snowy mountains? He is indeed an executive officer.

Although she was amazed at the lady's strength, Eula did not retreat.

"It doesn't matter. I am from the Lawrence family. I have long been considered a heretic in the eyes of Mond people. Even if what I do is normal, if it makes you feel dissatisfied, Mond has plenty of reasons."

"You are indeed different from other Lawrence people." Unlike her previous arrogant voice, the lady suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "In your eyes, how do you view Mond? In other words, in your eyes, which is more important, Mond, or the family, or the person you cherish the most?"

Outside the circle of fire, a small head popped out from the ground.

"The fire blocks our view of what's going on inside, and we can't even hear any sound. We can force our way in, but the risk of being discovered so close will increase, right? Did you sense something and become so alert? Or did Istaru-sama say something?"

Coral Palace muttered,

"Humph, you always say I'm stupid. Actually, I don't think my master is that smart. According to Liyue's words, we are the same, right? No, I think I am much smarter than my master."

There was a look of great intelligence in Coral Palace's eyes.

"At least I completed the task well."

As he said this, he shook the camera in his hand and dived underground again.

Outsiders had no idea what the lady said to Eula, but Eula returned to Mondstadt with mixed feelings, and immediately went to the Knights of Favonius, reporting to them the Fatui's plot to find the God of Wind. She also tactfully said that according to what the lady said, if the God of Wind was not found, something might happen to Mondstadt. Then the high-ranking members of the Knights Templar began a meeting, and the result of the meeting was obvious: wait and see, and just increase the focus on the Fatui.

Mondstadt cannot afford to be tossed around now, let alone make enemies with the Fatui.

"Mond is so weak now." Eula thought to herself after returning to Lawrence's house, "Protect Mond in my own way?"

At Lawrence's house, the family seemed to be holding a meeting, but when they saw Eula coming back, they acted as if nothing had happened.

It's like this again, I feel like a complete outsider.

"You're back?" For the first time today, the head of the Lawrence family sat on the main seat and asked Eula, "Did anything happen in the Knights of Favonius today?"

Eula shook her head: "Nothing."

"Ah."

The head of the Lawrence family did not speak. Instead, Schubert, who was sitting on the other side, laughed sarcastically and said in a sarcastic tone, "Did nothing really happen, or are you unwilling to tell us?"

The head of the Lawrence family did not speak. Eula pursed her lips and shifted her gaze from her father to her uncle Schubert.

"uncle……"

As if because the head of the Lawrence family did not stop him, Schubert's tone became even more sinister: "So you still know that I am your uncle and that you are from the Lawrence family."

As he spoke, Schubert took out a photo taken with a camera and threw it to Eula. Eula took the photo and her pupils shrank. The photo showed the scene of her previous conversation with the Fatui's executive lady in the snowy mountains.

"Eula, don't you want to say something about this?"

Facing her uncle's questioning, Eula asked back: "Where did you get this photo?"

"You don't need to care where I got this photo from, Eula, answer the previous question!"

"Yes, I did meet the Fatui's executive officer in the snowy mountains before, and we talked for a while."

"Why did you only tell me about this when I asked you? Well, let's not talk about this for now. What were you talking about?"

Faced with this question, Eula closed her mouth and became silent, then continued:

"I have already reported this matter to the Knights, and the Knights have classified it as confidential for the time being. Sorry, uncle, I cannot say this."

"Look, look." Schubert pointed at Eula and complained to the head of the Lawrence family sitting on the main seat, "This is the good daughter you raised."

Schubert said in a voice of disappointment: "You didn't report such important information to your family immediately, but told the Knights first. And then you kept it secret from our family because of the Knights' orders. Eula, Eula, we agreed to let you become a knight because there have been no people from Lawrence in the Knights of Favonius. That's why we allowed you to join the Knights to help share some of the pressure for your family. But you didn't help us, but kept it secret from your family. You should know that Eula, we are your family!"

Schubert glared at Eula and shouted angrily: "Have you been brainwashed by those people in the Knights?"

"Uncle, whether it's Lawrence or the Knights, we are all from Mondstadt."

"Did Mond really consider us Lawrence family members as their own?" Schubert raised his voice. "After all, our Lawrence family was once the most powerful noble family in Mond. But look at us now. What else do we have left except the title of nobility? Even in the eyes of the common people in Mond, they have been wondering why our Lawrence family has not gotten out of Mond? Why haven't we all died yet?"

Schubert clenched his fists. "Listen, is this what a fellow Mond person would say? Even for us Lawrence family, it is difficult to buy things when we go out. We either have to pay a high price or only merchants from foreign countries are willing to do business with us."

"That's because we are the descendants of sinners..."

Schubert interrupted Eula directly, "Yes, our ancestors did do something wrong, but how long will it take us to pay for this mistake? Five hundred years, one thousand years, or ten thousand years? It wasn't just our Lawrence family that did that, but all the nobles were involved! Which of these nobles in the city is really clean? But in the end, only our Lawrence family ended up like this! What's more, our Lawrence people also participated in overthrowing the Lawrence family! At the beginning, they thought that if they helped everyone to overthrow the tyranny and usher in a new regime, everyone could live together well. What was the result? Exclusion, abuse, all the sins and evils were borne by our family!"

Schubert's face showed a ruthless look: "Since Mond has no intention of treating us Lawrence as his own, then we Lawrence should take back what we originally had..."

"Schubert!"

At this time, the Lawrence family spoke up to stop Schubert from speaking.

Schubert, knowing that he had lost his temper, shut his mouth.

"Sorry, I've said too much. I have something else to do, so I won't stay for dinner today." Schubert looked at Eula with a disappointed look, "I hope you still remember your last name."

After saying that, Schubert turned and left.

After Schubert left, the head of the Lawrence family also looked at Eula and said, "If you are tired, go back and rest."

There was no detailed follow-up on the previous questions, as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, Father."

While Eula was talking, she kept thinking about what her uncle hadn't finished saying at the end. What exactly did her uncle want to do by saying that?

In other words, what does the Lawrence family want to do? What are they planning by hiding it from me?

Do we need to tell the Knights about this?

If there is a conflict between my family and Mond, which side should I stand on?

Eula was in a dilemma.

On the other side of Mondstadt, Ying and Paimon, after a busy day, returned to the city and had dinner at a restaurant.

But unfortunately, the Knights don't know the whereabouts of his brother. He has been helping the Knights run around these days, cleaning up the ruins of temples in the wild. The Knights promised to help him find his brother after the dragon disaster is lifted, but Ying doesn't have any hope for this.

"I still have to find the God of Wind to inquire about my brother's whereabouts." Ying said to herself, "I wonder what kind of god the God of Wind is."

The Grass God is brutal, the Ice God is powerful, so what kind of god is the Wind God?

"He must be a very free god, right?" Paimon said, "After all, the wind god symbolizes freedom."

"Paimon, I won't believe you anymore. You said the God of Grass is the God of Wisdom and the God of Ice is the God of Love, but in fact, none of them are related at all."

"Well……"

Paimon couldn't refute this.

"Then what kind of god do you think the God of Wind will be?"

Ying thought about it seriously and said, "I asked Amber before. The wind dragon that is wreaking havoc in Mondstadt is actually one of the four wind guardians of Mondstadt, a follower of the wind god Barbatos. As a follower of the wind god, it attacked Mondstadt. Paimon, do you think there is a possibility that this is actually the order of the wind god Barbatos? Otherwise, I really can't understand why the followers of the wind god would attack Mondstadt."
