Mondstadt,

Lawrence's last family land, in a luxurious but ruined manor,

The old man who saw Xin Yan playing in Fengshen Square stopped in the garden that was no longer glamorous,

Although as sinners, the Knights confiscated a large amount of the Lawrence family's wealth and wealth channels.

But this ancient aristocracy is not in fact short of Mora, who once ruled Mondstadt and amassed a terrifying fortune.

And the manor was dilapidated because they couldn't find the people to repair it.

In Mondstadt, Lawrence could not find any workers willing to help them maintain the estate.

There is money, but there is no way to buy services, which is one of the reasons why the Lawrence family has not been able to revive.

Their access to outside knowledge is relatively imprisoned.

Although as the old aristocracy, they themselves have some knowledge that ordinary people cannot know,

But with time never stopping, it was only a matter of time before Lawrence, who could not acquire more knowledge, disappeared.

Looking at the dilapidated garden in front of him, old Lawrence sighed slightly, he knew that his body was estimated to not last for many years, and now the most promising child in the family had fallen out with the family.

And the rest of the family seems to be useless.

This also includes his son who is worried about watching his son behind him.

"Father, you seem to be in a bad mood." Behind the old man, the middle-aged man asked with some concern.

He felt that it must have been when he was in the square just now, and the untouchables' praise of Vanessa had made his father angry.

"Father, those untouchables don't know how to have good manners, you don't know what tastes are, you don't have to be angry with them."

The middle-aged man thought that he had guessed the reason for his father's bad mood, and opened his mouth to comfort him.

The old man turned around and looked at his eldest son with some dissatisfaction: "You think I'm going to be angry at those people for their praise of Vanessa?" ”

As the current leader of Lawrence's main lineage, the old man is very dissatisfied with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was stunned, the old father was not angry because of what happened just now, so what else could it be?

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand his eldest son,

But a breeze blew, which seemed to blow away the dissatisfaction in the old man's heart,

"Alas~" All emotions turned into a sigh, and the old man looked at his eldest son again, and then spoke, "Go find Eula, and let her come back to see me." ”

"What? Father, do you want to see that traitor? The middle-aged man looked incredulous.

For the old-fashioned Lawrence,

Eula is an absolutely unforgivable existence,

Traitor is Lawrence's internal name for Eula.

"What? Do you have an opinion about my order? The old man didn't have any explanation, just looked at the middle-aged man coldly.

After only three seconds of staring at each other, the middle-aged man retreated in defeat under the cold gaze of the old man.

"Yes, father, I will inform the rebel. Eula's. ”

"Well, go ahead, leave me alone for a while." The old man's somewhat empty voice sounded in the ears of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man, who had just been frightened by the old man's cold eyes, did not notice the emptiness in the old man's tone, just nodded, and then left the dilapidated garden.

After the middle-aged man left, the old man's originally upright body suddenly became slumped, and he completely lost the momentum of persecuting the middle-aged man just now.

"Great Lord Barbatos, are we really wrong?"

The old man's heart wept blood,

As a young man, he, like his eldest son, was convinced that Lawrence's rule over Mondstadt was orthodox.

But as the years passed, the Lawrence family not only did not have a revival in his hands, but became weaker and weaker.

Even, the only being of this generation with a Vision 'betrayed' Lawrence and joined the Knights.

This had a huge impact on the old man's beliefs.

In Teyvat's common understanding, the Vision is the evidence of the person who is watched by the gods.

Now, Lawrence, who is watched by the gods, has chosen the Knights.

This is a big blow to those who stick to Lawrence's orthodoxy.

The old man's face was a little gray, but he quickly regained his indifference.

"Lawrence, we must not end up in my hands."

Immediately, his eyes became more and more determined.

Above Lawrence Manor,

The light distorted, hiding two 'peepers'.

"What do you think of this old Lawrence?" Wendy asked calmly, unable to tell what was going on in his heart.

Wang Dao glanced at the old man below and shook his head slightly: "It's just a beast trapped in a cage." ”

The beast trapped in the shroud, if it wants to be free,

Or, break through the cage and kill the people who imprisoned it,

Or, exposing the belly and showing submission, it is possible to obtain limited freedom.

Wendy nodded slightly: "Yes, Lawrence is like a trapped beast now, I hope they can be free, but I don't want them to continue to conflict with other people." ”

"It's very difficult, where is the thousand-year-old hatred so easy to solve." Wang Daoyi shook his head, he had the right to speak on this.

Like the desert and the rainforest, how much effort did he and Nahida make to gradually let their guard down and resume communication on an equal footing.

This is still the situation where the two gods balance the water on it.

And the people of Mondstadt and the Lawrence family,

There will be no less hatred between them than between the desert and the rainforest.

For the people of Mondstadt, the Lawrence family is a symbol of sin that enslaves them, and the people of the Lawrence family have their blood in their blood.

And for the people of the Lawrence family, from the glory of their ancestors to the current situation of being targeted everywhere and discriminated against everywhere they go, their hearts are more and more eager to return to the ancient era of rule.

The conflict between the two sides is already almost irreconcilable.

The people of Mondstadt are required to forgive Lawrence unless the Anemo God himself intervenes to pardon Lawrence, but Wendy is obviously not going to do such a thing.

His philosophy is freedom, he can be free to hate, and it is also a kind of freedom, so Wendy will not interfere.

"Then give a chance, part of the reason why Lawrence has not been forgiven by the people of Mondstadt for thousands of years is because they have become more and more stubborn in their family's old ways under the targeting of the people of Mondstadt, and now, I will give them a chance."

As Wendy spoke, she reached out and plucked the strings,

The millennium movement that envelops Mondstadt responds,

An inexplicable melody echoes in Mondstadt,

But no one can hear,

Only Albedo glanced up at the sky slightly, then looked back at Tighnari beside him, and continued to talk about the nature of the herb.

And by Wendy's side, Wang Daoyi showed a chuckle: "I'm looking forward to the direction of the story." ”

Stretching out his hand, his fingertips fluctuating slightly in the void, as if something had been triggered.

The wind brings the seeds of the story, and time makes them germinate.

After finishing the work, Wang Dao looked at the sun that was about to go down and stretched his waist.

"It takes time for the seeds to germinate, so I'll go back first, and I'll come and see when the flowers bloom."

After saying that, Wang Daoyi disappeared into midair, leaving only Wendy caressing the strings.

He didn't seem to care about Wang Daoyi's departure, still plucking the strings gently,

It's just that in the low-eyed eyes, there is uncontrollable joy,

"Sure enough, my choice was right, the power of time, he has mastered it now."

……

In the Cat's Tail Tavern,

Xiangling sat in the corner with Yun Jin,

And in front of them,

A girl the size of a little loli carries a plate with two glasses of ice on it.

"Hurry up, Xiangling and Miss Yun Jin, try my newly mixed drink, this time I use sugar-improved sweet flowers, the sweetness should be higher."

For Xiangling's visit, Diona was very happy.

I immediately prepared my friend's new drink.

Xiangling was not polite, reached out and picked up a cup, and then motioned for Yun Jin to bring a cup.

"Yun Jin is welcome, Diona likes everyone to drink the drinks she concocted."

Xiangling said.

Diona nodded vigorously on the side, indicating that Xiangling was right.

As long as she doesn't drink alcohol, Diona is willing to mix the most delicious drinks for adults.

It's a pity that the adults just want to drink, and she tries hard to make a bad wine, but she can't succeed.

Those adults drank her 'special wine' and would 'provocatively' give Diona a thumbs up to indicate that it was delicious.

This was no less hateful to Diona than snatching her small dried fish.

Yun Jin nodded, picked up another drink, took a sip, and then her eyes lit up: "It's delicious, I've never had such a delicious drink." ”

As a master of Liyue's opera, Yun Jin has strict control over her diet, but she is not untouched by a variety of precious beverages.

As an opera master, she can't eat and drink casually like ordinary people, but her ability to appreciate good and bad is better than ordinary people.

As soon as Diona's special drink was in her mouth, Yun Jin felt a sweet and clear spring water surround her throat, washing away the fatigue of her daily travel.

With Yun Jin's approval, Diona cocked the kitten's tail, and the smile on her face became more obvious.

It's a pity that I didn't wait for her to laugh for a while,

There was cheering on the other side of the table,

The guest from Sumeru won again,

His opponent stood up depressed, and then shouted at Diona, "Diona, old rule, give everyone a glass of cider and put it on my account." ”

Diona glanced angrily at the Sumeru man with the jackal hat,

It's that guy, after coming to the Cat's Tail Tavern, everyone started gambling on alcohol.

Diona remembers when this guy came,

He shouted very arrogantly to the card players in the tavern, "As long as I lose, I will invite everyone in the tavern to a drink." ”

Then everyone began to line up to challenge this Sumeru.

Of course, the people of Mondstadt still have to be faced, and after losing a match, they will also treat the onlookers to a drink.

So far, the people of Sumeru have not lost, but this round of hospitality and drinking has made Diona very dissatisfied.

Originally, after everyone played cards, they didn't drink much anymore, but now they started gambling on alcohol directly, and the sales of the Cat's Tail Tavern have increased greatly.

If this continues, when will she be able to subvert Mondstadt Liquor~

However, despite the appearance of wanting to bite, Diona still went to get the drink.

After all, it's her job.

When Diona came back from the wine,

Xiangling and Yun Jin have finished drinking the drinks in their hands,

"Ah, when you're done, I'll make it for you." Diona is a very hospitable person, as you can tell from that.

Xiangling hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop: "Don't be, don't, one cup is enough, let's sit down and talk." ”

Yun Jin also nodded: "One cup is enough, I can't drink too much." ”

As an opera worker, Yun Jin needs to strictly control the intake of drinks, and drinking one cup is already too much.

If she was in Liyue, she would have tasted at most, and it would have been impossible for her to finish a drink.

The rejected kitten was a little disappointed, but it wasn't disappointed for long, and sat directly next to Xiangling and talked.

"Xiangling came here this time, is she here to participate in the Wind Flower Festival?"

"Well, Brother Dao brought us over and said that there was something fun about the Wind Flower Festival in Mondstadt."

The kitten's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, the Wind Flower Festival is fun, not only in Mondstadt, but also in Springs and the surrounding areas will come to Mondstadt, and there will be a lot of fun things in Mondstadt every few days every year." ”

Saying that, the kitten told Xiangling and Yun Jin about the interesting stories of the Wind Flower Festival in previous years.

Xiangling and Yun Jin were fascinated by what they heard, and they couldn't wait to experience it immediately.

……

Mondstadt Library,

A group of bards are here to consult the information,

As the largest library in the Northern Continent, the Mondstadt Library still has a large collection of books, even if it has been hit by fire.

At the beginning, Wang Daoyi completed the basic accumulation of many things here.

And now this group of bards is also looking up all kinds of materials here, hoping to provide inspiration for their creation.

Among the bards, a dark-skinned girl was surrounded by them.

"This collection of Vanessa stories is a treasure of the Mondstadt Library, it is the first collection of stories, and most of the stories on it are reliable, unlike many of today's story collections, which are all secondary or even multiple adaptations."

The bards carefully took down an ancient book from the bookshelf and handed it to Xin Yan.

Xin Yan carefully opened the ancient books,

Then he was slightly stunned, revealing an embarrassed expression: "This ...... I don't recognize the words on it. ”

As the original collection of Vanessa's stories, the book was written in ancient Mund script, which is completely different from the current lingua franca.

The bards were also stunned,

A group of people looked at each other, and then smiled bitterly: "Okay, then we'll translate it for you." ”

Then a group of people began to babble and translate for Xin Yan,

But the more Xin Yan listened, the more uncomfortable she became.

It's not that the bards don't translate well, it's that the stories they translate are too straightforward.

The simple translation of the ancient to the modern has no feeling of 'Xindaya' at all.

Although the story is still the story of resistance, Xin Yan just can't arouse any interest in creation.

The bards also noticed Xin Yan's frowning movements, and stopped translating with some confusion.

"Miss Xin Yan, is there any problem?" They thought they were not mistranslated.

Xin Yan nodded, and shook his head again: "There is no problem with the translation, I can understand it, but the story seems to be a little too straightforward, without a trace of readability." ”

It's like the same theme,

Some people write in a way that is engaging, reminiscent, and inspiring.

Some people write very pale, assembly-line narratives, which wear out the reader's interest little by little.

Although it is the same story, it is true that the result is completely different.

"Too blunt......"

The bards were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up, they were all engaged in art, and naturally knew how lethal the pale description was to art.

Knowing what the problem was, the bards were also troubled.

Although they all know some ancient Mongolian German, the stories in ancient books are the stories they translated, and it is not easy to translate the stories without being pale.

This involves substitutional changes to words in translation, which may be possible here for experts in ancient Munds, but for a group of bards, it is a bit difficult.

Xin Yan also saw the embard poets' embards, and she frowned slightly: "Isn't it easy to translate?" ”

The poets smiled wryly,

It's a bit daunting to translate an old, pale narrative into today's language and give it a new lease of life.

Both translations should express the meaning of the original text as much as possible.

It is also necessary to make the language flow smoothly and fluently, and express it in a natural way close to the current language.

It is also necessary to add interesting expressions to the story, so that its original ancient narrative technique can be understood by today's readers.

Only by doing these three things can we be regarded as the basis for meeting the adoption.

"We need a Gumundan master." The bards said.

Then they looked at each other and wondered where there were such people in Mondstadt.

Mondstadt is a land of freedom, where people are as uninhibited as the wind.

For the ancient ancient Mongolian language, few people have devoted themselves to it,

This kind of person generally only exists in the homes of some ancient nobles.

The most basic is the liberation of the original families of Mondstadt:

For example, the family of the acting head of the regiment, Gunnhilde.

For example, the family of Lord Diluc, the owner of Mondstadt Winery, Legmond Fender.

For example, the Kaitzlein family in Qingquan Town.

And, of course, the family of sinners that the people of Mondstadt will never forgive, Lawrence.

If you want to find a master translator of ancient Mongolian German, then the best way is most likely to find the help of the acting head of the regiment, Qin.

After all, the Legon Fender family is currently only one and a half members, one is Lord Diluc, and the other is Captain Kaeya.

As for why Kaeya is half, because Kaeya is adopted.

And the Katz Rhine family, who have lived by hunting for generations, don't look like they are writers.

As for the Lawrence family, it is naturally impossible for everyone to ask for their help, this is the bottom line.

Therefore, in the end, only Gunnhilde, the family of the acting head of the regiment, could help them.

"Miss Xin Yan, it looks like we have to go find the head of the piano."

The bard wasn't embarrassed to ask for help.

In other words, most people in Mondstadt will subconsciously want to ask the Knights for help when they encounter difficulties.

And the way to find the Knights is to go to the acting head of the regiment, Jean.

This gentle knight will always take care of everyone's troubles.

Although most of the bards are people who have traveled to many countries, their trust in the piano is still buried in their hearts.

"In that case, let's go."

Xin Yan is not a procrastinator, since he has a goal, he will do it.
