Genshin, but the real world

Chapter 9 09 - Westwind Cathedral

There's nothing special about Gottlind's opening statement.

Probably from a long time ago, what kind of predicament we fell into, and then a great god descended from the sky, defeated what kind of evil, and then saved us.

In the end, everyone started a new life.

This nun is obviously not a professional speaker, she tends to describe the story in a straightforward manner, probably because of what kind of story she heard back then, she is now telling Jiang Qing without reservation.

Because it's not something to hide.

Jiang Qing listened very seriously.

"This is the story of the lonely king of the tower." Gotlinde's voice was unhurried, "In the past records, the tyrant imprisoned the Mond people and destroyed the freedom of the Mond people."

"But in the end, free will shined brightly, and the Mond people were blessed by the crown of Barbatos, the wind god, so we defeated the demon god of the gale, Dekarapian, and established New Mond on this land. "

Even in the legend, Dekarapian is a tyrant, Gotlinde still respectfully calls him His Majesty.

Her tone was not contemptuous, and as a priest, she was even a little too neutral.

But that's the norm.

Because Dekarapian is a truly powerful daemon.

During the war of demon gods, when all demon gods were fighting for territory, there were only two demon gods in the land of Old Mond.

Dekarapian, the Lone King of the Tower, and Andreus, the King Wolf of the North Wind.

Why are there only two demon gods in this land?
Because the rest are dead.

Out of fear of the demon god, even if it is a dead demon god, history will try to describe him objectively.

The so-called tyrant is not derogatory, but after the recorder thinks from the standpoint of a mortal, he finds that Dekarapian's original decision is indeed a tyrant.

As for whether people's judgments are correct for the gods... God doesn't care.

Gottlind guarantees the greatest degree of objectivity, but it's still not quite right.

[Before Dekarapian died, Barbatos was just a wind elf, not a wind god. 】

So there is a big problem in the underlying logic. It is impossible for the Monds to defeat Dekarapian without the support of the demon god.

For reference, Andreus later thought that he was the king of running wolves who hated humans, and felt that he could not describe the happy life of humans, so he gave up competing for the seat of Fengshen... Apparently Dekarapian also released water.

This is a good reason, otherwise, even if the number of Mond people was doubled back then, Jiang Qing didn't think he could win.

The other possibility is, of course, that Youshen easily killed Dekarapian, and the surrounding Monds didn't even notice the intervention of the third party, and the war was over.

In short, this is not a human victory.

It may be that Dekarapian doesn't want to play anymore, or it may be that a third god who is far better than Dekarapian has intervened. In short, human beings have no way to defeat this kind of monster.

Demon gods are special life forms that can open up mountains and seas. At that time, there were only two demon gods in the land of Mond.

Dekarapian was able to defeat Andreus, and he was already the uncrowned God of Wind at that time.

Quantity is of little value to this being.

And he lost.

Jiang Qing was once curious. The unreasonable love and care of the demon god for human beings is obviously abnormal.

Honestly, a father can't be any nicer to his son.

Logically speaking, two completely different lives, and the difference in life level is simply difficult to measure. The demon god should at least ignore human beings, not to mention nothing.

But no.

The reason for the war of demon gods is because every demon god is fighting for a bigger and better living space for his people and believers. Wang Lang even withdrew from the war of wind gods because he felt that he could not bring happiness to people. ceded the throne to Barbatos.

Jiang Qing couldn't understand.

The Tivat people have been taken care of by the demon gods for a long time, and they have lived under the seven ruling system for a relatively long time, so they may not think there is any problem.

But Jiang Qing felt that there was a big problem.

It's a pity that it's a secret, and it's a relatively good thing.

It's much better if people are willing to treat you as a cub than as livestock or weeds. You can't resist anyway, and it's no big deal to be a cub.

"I heard that Monde is [a city-state where God is absent]. I'm really not used to it when I first came here." Jiang Qing smiled apologetically, "You also know that Liyue is not like that."

The god of Liyue is a very responsible god. He will show up at the fairy ceremony every year, and then guide people's path and development in the new year.

Although it is a bit lazy to say that he only shows up once a year, compared with the Fengshen who only showed up in the catastrophe in Mond's history, he is indeed diligent.

"That's not the case." Gottlinde shook her head. "Lord Barbatos didn't show up because he gave power to the people and let everyone choose their own lives."

She unexpectedly had the desire to talk.

Jiang Qing raised her head and looked at the nun at the right time.

"Is it... Lawrence?" Jiang Qing was curious, "I met a blue-haired knight in Mond, and the Mond people didn't seem to be friendly to her."

[Talent: The person being pitied is judging that you are poorer and weaker than the other party, and your talent is taking effect. 】

[You are talking, the expertise has been activated, your words will be more convincing]

Two rows of light blue characters appeared in the corners of Jiang Qing's eyes. He glanced at them, and then regarded them as usual.

Gotlinde's desire to confide was even stronger.

She hesitated for a while, recalled Jiang Qing's performance just now, and then let out a sigh of relief.

It's not something that can't be said, it's just that her identity is not suitable for it.

But since he is a foreigner who is interested in Fengshen belief...

"You mean Yula, Yula Lawrence." Gotlinde sighed slightly.

Jiang Qing showed an expression of interest at the right time.

"Her name is Yura..."

It's normal, nothing more than normal, because Yura is beautiful.

So it makes sense.

Gottlind thought so.

Subconsciously, she didn't think that Jiang Qing might have any bad intentions, at best it was... love at first sight?That's why I was concerned about what happened to Yura.

Since Yura is beautiful, it is normal to be curious about Yura's situation.

Of course it makes sense.

"Actually Yura is a good boy, but it's the surname Lawrence that affects them."

Because it is something clearly recorded in history, since it has already been opened, there is no need to keep it on purpose.

Gotlinde's previous hesitation was simply because, as a clergyman, she was ashamed to reveal a certain period of Mond's past history, that's all.

But it is not impossible to say.

"Her Majesty Barbatos led the people to defeat the lonely king of the tower who imprisoned freedom, and then established New Mond, so everyone yearns for freedom." Gotlind paused, "Probably because of this, Your Majesty Abandoning the rule, the choice disappears in the history and the thousand winds, and the power to determine the future is handed over to ourselves."

"This choice is a bit weird." Jiang Qing asked, "Did the ancestors of Mond really not need the guidance and wisdom from the gods?"

Of course he can ask this question without being considered an offense, not a talent, but a parentage.

As we all know, the God of Rock has been in power for 700 years. During the 700 years, he never left Liyue, and stood up to guide people every year.

Once a year is the current frequency. In the past, even if Xian Dianyi was not invited, it was possible for the emperor to rule in person.

As a Liyue person, it is normal to feel strange.

Because in that land, the gods never left for a long journey.

He is here, always has been.

Jiang Qing's words were not fierce, Gotlinde nodded.

"I think it is also necessary." The nun gave the answer, "But His Majesty's actions naturally have their wisdom, but mortals like us cannot understand."

standard answer.

This answer is not only in Mond, but also in Liyue, Daozuma and even any other country, there is a good market.

you can't understand?That's normal.

The wisdom of the gods cannot be easily understood by mortals, which is perfectly normal.

Except for Xumi, Xumi's Holy Order imprisoned its own gods, intending to create a new god of wisdom, which is really ferocious and incomprehensible.

"So that's how it is." Jiang Qing also accepted, "The people who followed Lord Fengshen to overthrow the lonely king of the tower must have assumed the responsibility of guiding people."

As a supplement to Fengshen's abandonment of power, the group of people who followed Fengshen to fight bravely in the early days naturally became the nobles of Mond.

Of course, even if Fengshen is in power, these people are also his right-hand men, and they will definitely get the same rewards.

Qin's Gurnhilde family, Diluc's Legenfind family, and Lawrence behind Yula, these are the three royal families of Mond, the nobles among the nobles.

If God is there, Yusanjia must restrain himself.

Even with power, it has to be used with care.

Unfortunately, God is not there.

Power is not supervised and restrained, so it is flooded and indulged.

Jiang Qing's answer was very precise, and Gotlinde's expression became extremely embarrassing for a moment.

"Exactly." She could not deny the merits of the ancestors, just as Gotlinde would not exaggerate the faults of the ancestors, "The Lawrence family assumed the power and responsibility to guide the people in the past."

"But later, they abdicated their responsibilities and chose to take on greater power."

"And these are against freedom, so in the end, under the guidance of Fengshen, Lady Vanessa stepped forward, overthrew the aristocratic faction headed by the Lawrence family, and restored Mond's former freedom."

The specific description Gotlinde didn't have the intention to speak, but Jiang Qing knew it very well.

Including restarting slavery, including pulling the bouquet-throwing girl back into the bedroom to be happy... This is not a history worth talking about.

Although they happen, and are also documented.

"I see, that's why that Ms. Yula also suffered from people's hostility, right?" Jiang Qing confirmed.

Among the three royal families, only Lawrence did this, while both Leigenfind and Gunnhild chose to remain silent.

They did nothing.

Even if you don't know history, you should know that Fengshen just disappeared, not died.

Lawrence acted like the god of wind had promised them to be king, or they had become the king of Mond... It was simply incomprehensible.

Where did they get their courage?

The result is self-evident. Barbatos found a hero, hammered Lawrence to the ground, and then established the Zephyr Knights, formally establishing the ruling system that Mond has inherited to this day.
