Chapter 115: Freedom
Jean slowly walked to the big oak tree, with her long sword, kneeling on one knee, she looked up at the oak tree with a little confusion in her eyes.
Lu Shiyuan and the others stood beside the statue of the Seven Heavens God, silently watching Qin's back, and in a trance, they seemed to see the young knight leader's shoulders, carrying a huge weight, almost pressing her upright.
"Lord Vanessa, may your gaze on Mondstadt remain clear." Qin recounted reverently, but there was lingering uneasiness in her tone, "I don't know if the world, and me, have you become stronger as you expected?" ”
She stared at the lush canopy of the great oak tree, and just stared deeply at it, and remained silent for a long time.
Lu Shiyuan and the others glanced at each other and walked over.
Qin finally realized something, endured the discomfort of her body, stood up steadily, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”
"I just happened to be here." Lu Shiyuan explained casually and said with concern, "Compared to this, how is your body?" ”
"Thanks to everyone, it's a lot better, thank you for your concern." Jean sincerely thanked her.
"At the end of the day, you're tired like this, isn't it because you can grasp the big things and the little things at once?" Lu Shiyuan shook his head and persuaded, "I said that Captain Qin, small things like finding cats can be done by others, and even this kind of thing you have to do by yourself, and there will be more and more cases of exhaustion like today." ”
When Lu Qianshi heard this, although he still didn't agree with his brother's point of view, it was true, and he had no way to refute it, so he had to stay aside and not speak.
"Thank you for your concern, everyone's kindness is enough to restore my spirits." Jean's tone was soft, but unmoved, "But if you can't do it to this extent, how can you protect Mondstadt like Vanessa-sama?" ”
Lu Shiyuan was a little speechless, and he felt that Qin seemed to be caught in some strange obsession.
"It's because of your style that the people of Mondstadt have been raised into giant babies!" Lu Shiyuan's tone became a little stern.
"......" Qin was slightly stunned.
"In my opinion, you who are the most devout to the wind god are the ones who have failed to implement the concept of the wind god the most." Lu Shiyuan's tone softened a little, "The concept of the wind god is 'freedom'. ”
"Because, even the ideas of Lord Barbatos must be maintained." Jean retorted, "Otherwise, it'll be messed up."
Without enough pious and responsible people to protect Mondstadt, the dark ages of aristocratic tyranny of a thousand years ago may be repeated. ”
"So what?" Lu Shiyuan said, "The people should be self-reliant, and it was the people of Old Mondstadt more than 2,000 years ago who overthrew the tyrant in the tower by their own spirit of longing for freedom.
Freedom should not only be expressed in people's behavior, but should also be rooted in people's hearts.
Jean, you seem to have put the cart before the horse.
Just thinking that the people of Mondstadt can live freely does not lead them to condense their "free" hearts. ”
"......" Qin blinked in shock, and for the first time there was panic in her determined eyes, because she was a little shocked to find that she couldn't refute what Shi Yuan said.
"The freedom formed with your help is not real freedom." Lu Shiyuan struck while the iron was hot, "Qin, we in Liyue have an old saying, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mona and Lu Qianshi also cast admiring glances.
It's just a word!
"Could it be that what I've been doing is wrong?" Jean frowned deeply and asked herself, but soon, she shook her head firmly,

"But Forever Mondstadt is a philosophy that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family, and it is also a responsibility, and we have been doing it for thousands of years!
And Mondstadt, which is indeed thriving, how can it be a wrong idea? ”
"It's not that you're wrong." Lu Shiyuan waved his hand and continued, "The so-called freedom refers to the fact that human beings can be self-controlled, act with their own will, and be responsible for their own actions.
I don't have a problem with that. ”
"It's a very correct understanding." Jean nodded.
"Well, you are a person who can completely control yourself, help the people with your own will, protect Mondstadt, and take responsibility for the results of this action, right?"
"Yes, all this time, my heart has never changed." Jean continued to nod.
"Including managing the entire Order and protecting the safety of the people in the country?"
"Yes."
"Including counting the entire Mondstadt?"
"Yes."
"This also includes...... Looking for a cat? Lu Shiyuan saw that Qin fell into the language trap set by himself step by step, and finally revealed the real problem!
Jean's expression froze suddenly, and it was difficult for her to answer this question.
"Do you want to help someone find a cat?" Lu Shiyuan continued to press, "Do you think that finding a cat is a necessary prerequisite for protecting Mondstadt?" ”
"No...... No. Jean shook her head.
"Does getting lost in the cat put Mondstadt in danger?"
"No......" Jean continued to shake her head.
"Then why are you helping citizens find cats?" Lu Shiyuan looked at Qin strangely, and before the latter could answer, he spread his hands to himself, "The reason seems to be very clear, you did something that shouldn't be done by you." ”
Jean was silent because it was an irrefutable fact.
"Finding a cat is a trivial but time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and you must have done this kind of thing before." Lu Shiyuan continued, "When you wander around the city and waste a lot of work time looking for cats, do you really have no resentment in your heart? ”
"Maybe, maybe there is." Qin replied hesitantly.
"Is it really true that you can use this time to deal with more business and have more time to rest, but it was all wasted by a word from the citizens?" Lu Shiyuan asked again.
Jean couldn't answer.
"If Barbatos had been called to look for a cat, I think he would have said, 'Oh, how a free way of life it is for creatures to run freely in the land of the wind!'
Then, he'll run away. Lu Shiyuan said seriously, "So, please learn more from the god of your family, hang yourself in small things, and do not let in big things."
Let go when it's time to let go, and let the people continue to live on their own will, instead of chasing after them and feeding them.
This may be what you should do. ”
Jean fell into deep thought, "My philosophy is not wrong, what is wrong is that I focus too much on small things." ”
As Qin was thinking, Lu Qianshi quietly approached his brother and asked in surprise, "Brother, how do you know so much about the history of Mondstadt and the concept of the Wind God?" ”
"Probably because I'm trying too hard." Lu Shiyuan said with a smile.
He added in his heart, "Work hard to dig deep into the historical background of the game." ”
