Chapter 555: It is difficult for gods to control people's hearts

Early the next morning,

The sun rises over the horizon,

An explosive news has appeared in the city of Mondstadt,

It's like dropping a super bomb on the surface of the sea, setting off a monstrous wave,

"The Wave Knight of the Order, Eula Lawrence, stormed Lawrence Manor yesterday, killed Patriarch Lawrence, and forcibly inherited the Lawrence family."

"Eula Lawrence will hold the funeral of the previous Lawrence family head."

"The Lawrence family has suffered heavy casualties, and it is suspected that Eula Lawrence did it."

But in the morning,

The news about the Lawrence family replaced the news of the Windflower Festival as the headlines in Mondstadt.

Countless people of Mondstadt discussed this matter in the streets, in taverns, in countless corners,

And more people looked at the Knights of Favonius,

They wanted to know what the Order's attitude was to this.

After all, Eula Lawrence is the knight of the Knights,

He is one of the few knight captains of the Order.

Behind Eula Lawrence's actions to the Lawrence family, is there an order from the Knights?

These are the things that many people care about.

If everything is the will of the Order,

So, does it mean that the Lawrence family will henceforth clear the name of sinners and start a new stage?

If everything is Eula Lawrence's own will,

So, what kind of concept will the new Lawrence family exist in Mondstadt?

Watched by countless people,

Jean sat in the regiment leader's office and rubbed her eyebrows a little tiredly.

The great changes in the Lawrence family, still at the juncture of the Wind Flower Festival, really brought her great pressure.

It's not just ordinary people of Mondstadt who have doubts,

Even many knights and church personnel feel that there is really a knight behind this matter.

After all, Eula Lawrence suddenly made a move against the Lawrence family, and then seized the rights of the Lawrence family strongly.

The biggest beneficiary behind this is the Knights.

If it weren't for Jean herself to understand that this matter had nothing to do with the Knights, even she would suspect that the Knights were behind it.

However, although there was a lot of pressure, but in the trust of Eula, Jean still withstood the pressure from all parties and did not show any attitude.

She believed that Eula would give her an answer.

I don't know what the reason is, today's dark clouds are extraordinarily thick,

In Lawrence's cemetery,

Eula looked at the coffin in front of her, with a trace of sadness in her eyes,

Since she was a child, she has always been burdened with countless doubts and slanders because of the sins of her family.

In Eula's heart, the Lawrence family is not an honor, but a burden.

But these burdens are not a reason for her to ignore family affection,

The reason that really made her break out of the Lawrence family and choose to join the Knights was because in the Lawrence family, she couldn't see hope.

And now, her grandfather, the old man she thought pitted Lawrence against the people of Mondstadt, had opened a path for her with his own life.

On the way to the cemetery,

Eula has gotten a lot of information,

In Mondstadt, the perception of her has begun to change.

Under the acquiescence of the qin, the old man's left behind began to push public opinion,

portrays Eula as a girl who was born in the old aristocracy but yearns for freedom, and under the oppression of her family, she even chooses to join the Knights to rebel against the family.

In the end, after learning about the old Lawrence's 'conspiracy', she chose to kill her relatives in righteousness.

Personally ending his grandfather's continuation of Lawrence's crimes, although Eula was charged with murder, Lawrence's sins seem to have gradually moved away from Eula in public opinion.

She's clean.

In the solemn mourning, the coffin of the old man was buried,

Eula glanced at her, then turned to leave, and behind her, the silent Lawrence people.

Although a night has passed, they still have a feeling of disillusionment,

The Lawrence family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, surrendered under the big sword of the girl in front of them in just one night.

It seems incredible, but it seems very reasonable.

Leave the cemetery and return to Lawrence Manor,

Eula looked at the old man's eldest son, a middle-aged man who had theoretically been seized of power by her.

"How much combat power does the family still have? How many resources? ”

The middle-aged man still had sadness on his face, but when he heard Eula's question, he didn't hesitate: "There are less than a hundred warriors, and the rest are ordinary people and old and young. ”

She didn't say anything about men and women, and Lawrence still retained the habit that both men and women could be warriors.

"In terms of resources, we have Mora, but we can't buy any resources, except for the normal supply of food and clothing, the Knights will not let us buy any military supplies."

The Lawrence family was largely imprisoned in Mondstadt, and they couldn't spend their money even if they had.

Even smugglers are reluctant to deal with the Lawrence family.

Only the Fatui, with the aim of chaos and destruction, would conspire with the Lawrence family.

Eula nodded, "Give me the list, gather the warriors, I'm going to the Knights." ”

"To the Knights?" There was a trace of incomprehension in the middle-aged man's eyes, summoning the warriors and going to the knights, he had to make him think crookedly.

glanced at the middle-aged man coldly, Eula didn't speak, and under Eula's gaze, the middle-aged man lowered his head again.

Now, Eula is the head of the Lawrence family, and he doesn't need to question, he just needs to obey.

"I'll go." The middle-aged man turned around and went to prepare Eula's list.

Eula, on the other hand, was standing at Lawrence's estate, thinking about what she was going to do next.

Soon, the middle-aged man came to Eula with a stack of lists and a group of warriors.

Eyes swept over these warriors,

Eula nodded slightly,

These warriors, when she went on a killing spree at Lawrence Manor last night, didn't come out.

It is estimated that these warriors are the last of the Lawrence family.

A family that has been imprisoned for thousands of years can still cultivate nearly a hundred excellent warriors, and the Lawrence family does have something outstanding about him.

Take the list in the hands of the middle-aged man,

Eula looked at the warrior in front of her,

"Do you know who I am?"

The faces of the fighters did not change, indifferent, but calm.

"The ruler of the Seal of Ice, the rebel of Lawrence, Eula Lawrence, is now the Patriarch of Lawrence."

The warriors knew Eula,

Even some of them trained in swordsmanship with Eula as children.

"Are you, then, willing to obey my orders?"

Eula asked again.

The warriors were slightly silent, and finally bowed down in front of Eula: "Our blades dance for your will. ”

They are the last of the Lawrence family, and they are directly under the orders of the Lawrence family master.

Now, Eula is the head of the house, and they naturally obey Eula's orders.

Lawrence the rebellious, that's Lawrence too, isn't it?

The continuation of the family bloodline is always higher than personal emotions.

Even if they don't approve of Eula's killing, they will still obey Eula's orders.

Unless...... Eula completely abandoned the name Lawrence.

Nodding slightly, getting the allegiance of these warriors, Eula has a little more cards in her hand,

Turning to look at the middle-aged man, "Go and appease the people, organize your supplies, and get ready to leave Mondstadt." ”

She looked up at the massive walls of Mondstadt: "This city that brought glory to our ancestors, this cage that imprisoned Lawrence for thousands of years, it's time to get out of here." ”

The middle-aged man's expression moved slightly, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, and then turned around to do something.

After the middle-aged man left,

Eula looked at the silent warriors in front of her,

"Follow me, it's time to go to the Knights showdown."

In the horrified eyes of the people of Mondstadt,

A grim group of warriors streamed out of Lawrence Manor and followed Eula Lawrence in the direction of the Knights' building.

Frightened in my heart,

Some of the people of Mondstadt did not care about the festivities of the Windflower Festival and began to run to their homes, then closed their doors and waited for new news to arrive.

Only a few tourists, for some reason, watched these menacing warriors pass by on the side of the road, and there was even a hint of curiosity on their faces.

Among them, there are several people around Wang Daoyi.

"Brother Daoyi, what's wrong?" Xiangling subconsciously asked Wang Daoyi, in her heart, it was tacitly accepted that Wang Daoyi must know what was going on.

"The thousand-year-old grudge is about to end, but I didn't expect it to end like this, and sure enough, even the gods are difficult to spy on people's hearts."

Wang Daoyi led Xiangling to walk on the side of the road, sighed slightly, and answered Xiangling's question.

He watched Wendy guide Eula step by step,

But after Eula enters Lawrence Manor with a great sword, the gentle ending that Wendy wants is out of the question.

In Wendy's design, the most Eula breaks with Lawrence, and then takes the last part of the gentle Lawrence and opens up to the outside world, that is, the desert.

But Eula's determination, and the sacrifice of the old owner of Lawrence, far exceeded the expectations of the god Wendy.

The wind blows for the better, but the wind can't peek into people's hearts.

However, the corners of Wang Daoyi's mouth still showed a smile: "That guy Barbatos, I guess I'm laughing now." ”

Although it did not achieve its original purpose, the current transformation is also beneficial to Mondstadt.

Eula wants to leave Mondstadt with the Lawrence family, which makes Mondstadt lose a ticking time bomb.

Mondstadt has been at peace for a thousand years, and there is no need for Lawrence as a target to attract negative emotions from his people.

Mondstadt without Lawrence may be more peaceful.

Xiangling still didn't understand a little, but she didn't continue to ask, holding Wang Daoyi's arm, and strolling down the street with her lover.

On the other side, Collei pulled Amber to the death, trying to persuade: "Don't, Amber, calm down, Eula must have her own reason." ”

Amber blushed, "She took people to the Knights, and she didn't even tell me what happened." ”

Watching Eula lead people pass in front of her, Amber's heart was already filled with panic.

The anger on his face was nothing more than a disguise.

She really didn't expect that she would play together by the lake last night, and Eula would do such a big thing that night.

Amber was worried about Eula.

Behind the two,

Albedo shook his head slightly, and then spoke: "Don't worry, Amber, Jean didn't say anything, it means that things are not out of control, and Eula should have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Qin." ”

Amber was slightly stunned, the anger on her face dissipated slightly, and reason returned to her brain,

Indeed, such a big movement, the Knights did not react at all,

Then Eula and the head of the piano may really have reached some tacit understanding.

"Then she shouldn't hide it from me." Amber said with some pity.

Collei let go of Amber's hand slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Eula is also her friend, but her main concern is Amber.

"Let's go, keep shopping, it won't be long before the Knights will give an answer."

Albedo has no interest in the changes in the Lawrence family, and has time to care about these things, so it is better to visit the Wind Flower Festival and relax himself, so that he can devote more energy to new experiments.

On the other side,

Eula led the people all the way to the Knights' Building.

The Knight of Favonius, who was guarding the door, looked at the menacing Lawrence warriors, his eyes were wary, and his weapons were clenched.

Although they had been instructed by Jean to come to the Knights, they did not expect that Eula would bring such a group of people.

However, Eula didn't mean to storm the Knights' building.

When he came to the gate of the Knights, he waved his hand: "You are waiting for me here." ”

Then he pushed open the door of the Order alone.

The knight who guarded the door did not stand in any way.

Office of the Head of Regiment,

Jean heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and looked up a little tiredly, and saw Eula, who was also unable to hide her tiredness.

"Your actions have made a big difference, Eula."

"I'm sorry, Master Jean, Lawrence has been down for a thousand years, and I can't let it go any further."

When the two greeted each other, they exchanged their respective messages.

Jean thinks Eula should deal with the current turmoil,

Eula tells Jean that Lawrence needs to make a change.

"Sit down, I think we need to have a good talk." Jean gestured to the chair in front of the regimental leader's desk.

Eula was not polite and sat down directly.

"What do you want?" After Eula sat down, Jean asked directly.

She needs to know Eula's purpose in order to give the right feedback.

Eula didn't hide it either, and said directly: "I need to give Lawrence a way out, Lawrence has been trapped in Mondstadt for a thousand years, and without a new way out, the grudge between Lawrence and the people of Mondstadt will never be dissipated." ”

Jean paused slightly, and the tiredness on her face dissipated: "Mondstadt never trapped Lawrence, it was Lawrence himself who trapped himself. ”

In any case, as the acting leader, Jean would not admit that the Knights of Favonius had trapped the Lawrence family in Mondstadt.

There are things that can be done, but cannot be said, at least, cannot be admitted.

Eula's face remained the same, she was now the head of the Lawrence family, and she was also a Wave Rider, so she could completely understand Jean's concerns.

Without refuting Jean's words, Eula just nodded calmly: "I understand, so I have cleared the opposition in the Lawrence family, and now Lawrence needs a new life." ”

"Let go of the road and let Lawrence go."

Eula's eyes and Jean stared at each other, calm but powerful.

"The Knights never stopped Lawrence from leaving." Jean said softly, "But as a pioneer of Mondstadt and ...... Sinners, I need to know where you are going. ”

There's no way she's really letting Lawrence go because of Eula's words, what if the Lawrence family regains on the outside and comes to fight against Mondstadt?

The royal family of the previous dynasty, imprisoning the immortal clan is the greatest tolerance, how can they let them run around casually.

"Lawrence's glory is rooted in rebellion and pioneering, and Lawrence's sin will end there."

Eula's gaze was firm, "The Lawrence family will leave Mondstadt and rediscover a place to thrive on the Great Plains of Mondstadt." ”

After a pause, she continued, "In return...... Or at the price, Lawrence's last warriors will participate in the Grand Master's expedition to ensure that Lawrence does not have the strength to continue to endanger Mondstadt. ”

There's more to Mondstadt than just Mondstadt.

Under the power of Barbatos, the god of wind, the land of the snowy mountains is now a great plain with abundant products.

Leaving Mondstadt, Lawrence can also find a place where there are no human beings and start building his home again.

In this way, the newborn child will not have to accept discrimination in Mondstadt.

When they grow up, they can go to Liyue, they can go to Inazuma, they can go to Sumeru, they can go anywhere.

Far from the mormire of Lawrence in Mondstadt,

After two generations, between Lawrence and the people of Mondstadt, who had disappeared from each other's sights, the hatred would have subsided.

And sending the warriors to the Grand Master to participate in the Great Expedition was only the only option to show the Order that there was no malice.

After all, Lawrence, who has the power of force, and Lawrence, who has no threat, the attitude of the Knights is definitely different.

"Where do you want to move?" Jean asked again,

When it comes to the root of Mondstadt's sin, she has to be ruthless in communicating with Eula.

"We come from the wind and snow, and we will return to the wind and snow, and I will take my people to the back of the Longji Snow Mountain, which is inaccessible and only a small number of adventurers will be involved." Eula had already figured out where to go.

In the illusion, she and Lawrence Ancestor were thinking about the beast tide charging in the wind and snow.

Lawrence rose from hardship, and now let's return to suffering.

If Lawrence can rise again in the harsh snowy mountains, then Eula believes that such Lawrence will be the once glorious Lawrence.

And not the poor and extravagant, depraved and pathetic Lawrence.

In the office, Jean listened to Eula's arrangement and was slightly silent.

Logically speaking, she should have promised Eula that Lawrence leave Mondstadt once and for all, which would be a good thing for both parties.

Lawrence is out of prison, and Mondstadt is one less destabilizing factor.

But in terms of the control of the Order,

Without Lawrence from Mondstadt, whether the Knights still have the ability to spy on them is something that Jean has to consider.

Of course, she believed in Eula, but the Order was big, and it was useless for her to believe in it, and she needed more kindness from Eula to convince the rest of the Knights, as well as the bishops of the Church of Zephyr.

After a moment of silence, Jean raised her head and looked at Eula, "It's not enough, Eula, it's not enough for me to convince the others." ”
