Chapter 556: Winter Flowers Floating in the Wind (Last Month's 800 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
In the Knights' Building, the Commander's Office,
Jean and Eula looked at each other,
You can still faintly hear a faint explosion coming from the confinement room not far away,
But neither of them had the idea of looking it out,
Just quietly looked into each other's eyes.
At last
Eula took a step back and withdrew her gaze.
"I'll admit my mistake." Eula spoke.
Qin was stunned for a moment: "What?" ”
Eula pursed her lips, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in her eyes: "At the end of the Wind Flower Festival, I will confess my mistake in the name of the Lord of Lawrence, under the statue of the Wind God." ”
Stand corrected......
Jean was silent again,
Although admitting this kind of thing is just a few words,
But its significance is definitely not ordinary,
The old aristocracy represented by Lawrence was overthrown for a thousand years,
Although they became sinners, they never admitted that they had missed it.
This is one of the reasons why the people of Mondstadt and Lawrence have been in conflict for a long time.
After all, the person who hurt you has always refused to admit his mistakes, how can you possibly forgive him.
Qin looked at the girl in front of her, and her eyes were a little unbearable,
Thousands of years of hatred, how can it be possible to laugh at enmity,
Once Eula admits her mistake, she will inevitably be crucified to the shame pillar of the Lawrence family.
"Don't worry, Captain Jean, I will reshape the Lawrence family, if I don't even dare to admit the crimes of the past, then what qualifications do I have to lead them."
Eula's expression was very relaxed, she had already thought of everything,
Admit your mistakes, gain forgiveness from some of them, and lead the Lawrence people out of Mondstadt and start over.
It would be better to have the Lawrence family trapped in Mondstadt.
As for whether she will be nailed to the shame pillar of the Lawrence family, Eula is not worried at all,
In her mind, Lawrence was either reborn or extinct.
Lawrence, born again, will not hold a grudge against her,
Lawrence, who holds her grudge, has only extinction.
People who have already given it a go will not care about these 'little things'.
Looking at Eula's resolute eyes, Jean nodded slowly, "In that case, I will inform everyone in the Order, as well as the Church and the citizens of Mondstadt, that at the end of the Wind Flower Festival, the confrontation between the people of Mondstadt and Lawrence will be completely ended." ”
Jean only said the end of the confrontation, and did not say words similar to 'judgment'.
Eula's eyes flashed slightly, nodded at the piano, stood up, and prepared to leave,
It so happened that the door to the regimental commander's office was pushed open,
The bards walked in with Xin Yan in their arms.
"Ah, Miss Eula, you're there too." Xin Yan and the bards, who spent a day and a night in the library, did not know what was going on between Eula and the Lawrence family.
In their impressions, Eula was still the one who assisted them in translating ancient poems.
"Well, there are some things to the head of the piano group, have you finished writing your rock?" Eula nodded.
Xin Yan smiled and waved the manuscript in his hand: "Roughly extracted some material as lyrics, and the tune is missing." ”
"That's good, do you need any help from me?" Jean answered.
"That's right, I heard that when the Wind Flower Festival ends, there will be a performance, and we want to perform the songs we wrote at that time, and I hope the head of the piano can agree." Xin Yan said.
The Wind Flower Festival, as a festival in Mondstadt, is naturally inseparable from performances, after all, it is the home of wind and poetry.
Singing a song of rebellion at the end of the Windflower Festival is very much in line with the character of the kingdom of Mondstadt.
However, Qin did not directly agree to Xin Yan, but looked at Eula,
Eula will admit his mistake on behalf of Lawrence at the end of the Wind Flower Festival, and at this time, another song of resistance in praise of Vanessa will be somewhat close to the face.
Sensing Qin's eyes, Eula shook her head slightly, she was determined to admit her mistake, and she wouldn't care about this little thing.
After receiving Eula's reply, Qin Cai looked at Xin Yan: "Of course, it is a very good thing to sing the praises of heroes, and I will arrange a performance for you at the end of the Wind Flower Festival." ”
In fact, the degree of freedom in Mondstadt, when the time comes, Xin Yan and the others will be fine to go up and sing directly.
However, when Xin Yan came to Mondstadt for the first time, she cautiously informed the officials here.
Xin Yan is not afraid of things, she has performed on the streets of Liyue many times, and then she has been chased by the Millelith Army.
It wasn't until much later that she found her 'Promised Land, Docks'.
It was in the process of confrontation and reconciliation with the Millelith that she gradually understood some truths, that is, not to let herself become a trouble for others.
In a place of tranquility, it is best to follow the local rules.
With Qin's consent, Xin Yan smiled with gratitude: "Thank you, Captain Qin, then we will continue to compose music." ”
After speaking, Xin Yan left in a hurry with people,
However, thanks to Miss Lisa's recent absence from the library, they are working in the library.
Eating and drinking are all takeaways from the deer hunters, but they avoid the good show at the gate of the Knights.
In front of the Knights' building,
The Knights of Favonius and the indifferent Lawrence warriors confronted each other,
For the Knights of Favonius, Lawrence, a group of sinners, dared to send warriors to the Knights' building to block the road, it must be ill-intentioned.
For the Lawrence warriors, they just followed the orders of the new head of the family and came here, without any malicious intent.
People on both sides couldn't trust each other, but they didn't want to fight, so there was a little embarrassment in the atmosphere of slaughter.
Not far away, some of the citizens of Mondstadt are already watching.
They fled home at first, but found that there did not seem to be a conflict, so they sneaked out and watched the conflict in front of the Knights' building from a distance.
By the side of the citizens, Wang Daoyi was shopping with Xiangling in tow, and beside them, there were also friends from Sumeru and Liyue.
There's no way, there's too much movement here, and merchants from other places have closed their stalls.
In the whole of Mondstadt, there is probably only one 'fun' place.
So everyone came here in unison.
Holding Wang Daoyi's hand, Xiangling was curious with a hint of worry,
Many of the Knights were her friends, and Eula, who had just brought the Lawrence warriors with her, was also an acquaintance.
Xiangling doesn't want conflict here.
Sensing the girl's inner thoughts, Wang Daoyi patted her hand: "Don't worry, if you can't fight, Eula will come out." ”
Wang Daoyi's eyes had a different meaning in them, he wanted to dig into the corner of the wall,
For Eula Lawrence, he originally thought that she was just an ordinary Vision owner, and as for her background, it was just like that.
But when this girl carried the family's thousand-year-old sins and hatred, then Wang Daoyi had to look up to her.
Now, when Eula is ready to admit her mistake, Wang Daoyi already admires her.
If he could, he really wanted to turn Eula Lawrence back into the desert.
Out of the royal way,
After a while, the door of the Knights' building was opened, and Eula, who was expressionless, walked out of it, and then looked at the knights who were confronting the family warriors, her eyes fluctuated slightly, but she didn't say anything, just waved her hand, and motioned for the Lawrence warriors to go with her.
"Wait, Captain Eula."
Suddenly, one of the knights shouted,
Eula stopped, then turned to look.
An ordinary knight walked out, and he looked at Eula: "Captain, are you leaving the Knights?" ”
Eula was stunned for a moment, then the cold color on her face faded, and she shook her head at the knight: "No, I am still the guerrilla squad leader of the Knights. ”
"What about you."
"Don't worry, I'm just dealing with some past grievances." With a soft smile on her face, Eula looked at the knight in front of her, the other party was not a member of the guerrilla squad, but it was possible to ask such a question, most likely he had acted with the guerrilla squad.
Only the knight who has known Eula's true appearance knows the softness of this girl's heart, and it is possible to keep it in front of everyone.
After Eula finished explaining, she didn't say anything more, turned around and beckoned, and left with Lawrence's men.
It wasn't until Lawrence's warriors completely disappeared that the crowd erupted into a discussion.
It's been a long time since Mondstadt had such a big event.
You must know that even the previous aggressive Fatui mission would not dare to lead people to block the Knights' building so openly.
Everyone is speculating that the Lawrence family is really going to make a conclusion with the Knights this time.
"Let's go, the rest should wait for the Wind Flower Festival to end." Wang Daoyi took Xiangling's little hand and took her out of here.
The others left in pairs, spreading what was happening here to the rest of Mondstadt.
So, in the next period of time, there was a trace of unstable emotions in the joy of the Wind Flower Festival.
However, this is mostly the sentiment of the citizens of Mondstadt, and for visitors from outside, many of the things to do are more enjoyable without the queues of Mondstadt locals.
Especially the Mondstadt Air Race,
Although Amber was full of worries and failed to compete well, Collei fully demonstrated her yearning for her idol, made several difficult moves in the air, and successfully won the air competition.
Well, it's also the first time in recent years that Amber has lost the title of flying champion.
Finally, on the third day of the Windflower Festival, which is the last day of the festival, the announcement of the Knights was finally posted.
[Announcement on the end performance of the Wind Flower Festival and some events:
Under the protection of Lord Barbatos,
This year's Wind Flower Festival is about to come to a successful conclusion.
Some of the matters are announced as follows,
1. The Wind Flower Ceremony will be held at the Aeolus Square, where the Star of the Wind Flower Festival, Honorary Knight Ying, and the Acting Troupe Leader Qin Hui present the "Wind Flower" to Barbatos, the Wind God, on behalf of the people of Mondstadt.
2. During the Wind Flower Ceremony, the Knights will provide free food and drinks, but please do not drink too much alcohol and do not waste food.
3
9. Rock musician Xin Yan from Liyue, who joins the Bards of Mondstadt to compose a rock song in praise of Venissa and will perform at the Wind Flower Ceremony.
10. The current head of the Lawrence family and the leader of the Guerrilla Squad of the Knights of Favonius, Eula Lawrence will give a speech at the Wind Flower Ceremony. 】
After the announcement of the Knights was posted, it immediately caused an uproar,
Of course, many of these regulations have long been accustomed to by the citizens of Mondstadt.
There are only two, one is Xin Yan's performance, and the other is Eula's speech, and these two are not in the past cases.
Xin Yan's performance is okay, anyway, it is a praise of Vanessa, and the people of Mondstadt can accept it, it can't be just a different art form.
But Eula Lawrence is going to give a speech, and that's what makes it difficult for the people of Mondstadt to calm down.
Not to mention, on the announcement of the Knights, Eula's identity is Lawrence's new head of the family and the leader of the Knights' guerrilla squad.
This means that the Knights did not deprive Eula Lawrence of his status as the captain of the Knights after recognizing his status as the head of the Eulalawnian family.
This information made everyone see a hint of ambiguity.
The Knights and the Lawrence family don't seem to be going to start a big war as they thought.
Lawrence Manor,
Eula, dressed in her regular clothes, stood in the middle of the ruined garden, her eyes a little hollow, as if she remembered the time she had played here as a child.
Footsteps behind him,
Eula turned around, and a middle-aged man walked around the corner,
"Have you been informed?" Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, Eula asked directly.
The middle-aged man's face was a little tangled, but he nodded quickly: "It's all informed, everyone is willing to obey your will." ”
After saying that, the middle-aged man couldn't hold back and asked, "Are we really going to leave Mondstadt?" ”
Eula didn't use force to subdue him like before, but said lightly: "Do you still want Lawrence's future children to grow up in discrimination?" ”
The middle-aged man was reluctant to do so: "But Mondstadt was pioneered by Lawrence's ancestors." ”
Eula gave him a cold look, "No, Mondstadt was founded by countless people of Mondstadt under the leadership of Lawrence's ancestors, and Lawrence turned his back on those people. ”
She couldn't forget the scene where countless Mondstadt ancestors charged with Lawrence warriors in the illusion with improvised weapons.
Lawrence's former glory has long been exhausted by the former depraved Lawrence, and Mondstadt is no longer Lawrence's glory.
Middle aged:
After being silent for a while, the middle-aged man didn't say anything more, since Eula is the variable that the Lawrence family has been waiting for for thousands of years, then obey.
"I understand, the clansmen are already packing up their things, except for the basic living materials, we will leave everything else."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Eula's mouth, but it was fleeting: "Very good, we came from the wind and snow, and we will go back to the wind and snow, this is the real Lawrence." ”
Under Eula's will, the Lawrence family will give up their last fortunes, take the basics with them, and leave Mondstadt, ending this millennia of feud once and for all.
Sometimes, admitting defeat doesn't mean you've really lost, and it can also be a chance to give yourself a chance to start over.
Eula saw it very clearly,
Although he lost a lot of his wealth and even abandoned Mondstadt altogether, he was given the opportunity to develop freely.
The Lawrence family has a heritage, warriors, and population, and after leaving Mondstadt, they can also get supplies from other places.
In this way, Lawrence has a chance to rise again.
In the suffering of the wind and snow, the great sword of Lawrence can be sharpened again.
The reason why the people of the Lawrence family are willing to follow Eula is that on the one hand, they were forcibly suppressed by Eula, and on the other hand, it is true that someone saw that Eula's idea was feasible and firmly supported Eula's actions.
Of course, the main thing is that Eula controls the last warrior team of the Lawrence family.
Time passes,
Soon it was afternoon,
On the Fengshen Square, on the huge statue of the Fengshen,
A bucket in one hand, a rag in the other,
"So, is it the job of the Star of the Wind Flower Festival to clean the statue of the Wind God?"
Ying said through gritted teeth.
As a guest invited to participate in the Wind Flower Festival, Yingyuan was very happy.
As a result, her first task as the star of the Wind Flower Festival was to clean the statue of the Wind God.
"Ahem, Honorary Knight, the Wind Flower Ceremony is about to be held, but there was feedback from the nuns before, and there is still a little dust on the statue of the Wind God, so I'll trouble you."
With Sister Grace's voice echoing in her ears, Ying felt like she had been deceived.
Paimon flew beside Ying, also holding a small rag in his hand: "It's really hateful, why do we have to wipe the idol of that Wendy guy, wouldn't it be nice if he blew the wind himself." ”
"That's not good, cleaning the statue of the wind god is also part of the Wind Flower Festival, how can I do it myself." Wendy's voice sounded over the idol,
Ying looked up, and sure enough, Wendy was sitting on the hand of the Aeolian Statue.
"Ahhh Paimon was taken aback, and he felt like he was being caught talking bad about people behind his back.
"I'm the god of the wind, where there's wind, there's me, isn't it normal to appear here?" Wendy didn't care about Paimon's complaint about him just now, looked at Ying with a smile on her face, and pointed to the position next to her, "Do you want to come over and rest for a while?" ”
Ying naturally did not refuse, using both hands and feet, she climbed onto the arm of the Wind God Statue neatly, and then walked to Wendy's side in a few steps.
"How did you get here?" Ying asked,
Although Wendy said just now that there is a place where there is wind, there must be a reason why he is here.
"Traveler, do you know what happened in Mondstadt recently?" Wendy asked rhetorically.
Ying frowned slightly: "You mean Eula's thing?" ”
Ying and Eula are also good friends, and Eula once prevented an uncle from betraying information to the Fatui with the help of Ying.
In a sense, Yingshu is a person who has witnessed Eula's mental journey.
I also felt the pressure that the surname Lawrence brought to Eula.
"Well, do you have any opinions?"
"Jean told me that it was Eula's own choice, but I don't know the specifics, and I can't make an evaluation." Ying said.
After traveling for so long, she has learned that some things are not as simple as they seem.
The thing that can make the god of wind come out and speak, then it will definitely not be simple.
So Ying didn't say anything.
Wendy didn't mind, just nodded, "So you don't know?" Well, to put it simply, Eula is ready to take the sins of the entire Lawrence family on her shoulders, admitting her mistakes on behalf of the Lawrence family at the Windshua Festival ceremony, and then leading the Lawrence family out of Mondstadt. ”
Ying was slightly silent, and then said, "So what can I do to write?" ”
She didn't know much about Lawrence and the people of Mondstadt, but she only knew a rough idea.
Knowing that the people of Mondstadt are very hostile to Lawrence, from Ying's point of view, Lawrence's departure from Mondstadt seems to be a good thing.
The only thing that's bad is that it seems like Eula has to pay some price.
"Traveler, you know what? What is now Mondstadt, long ago, was an ice field, and it was Lawrence's ancestors who led the people of Mondstadt to open up the area. ”
"I know, I've heard from my friends."
"Haha, that's good, there are some things that I can't come forward for, so please help me give this flower to Eula's child."
Ying turned her head and saw Wendy's hand, hovering this small white flower.
"It's a flower that grows in the snow, and it grows in the snowfields before New Mondstadt was established, and in a sense, it's in line with Lawrence's will forged by ice and snow."
With a smile on her lips, "So, help me give the flowers to Eula, and let them know that if they realize their mistakes, even if they leave Mondstadt, the glory forged by ice and snow can still reappear." ”
Ying's eyes fluctuated slightly, thinking that this was Wendy's recognition of Eula, and took the flower: "Don't worry, I'll give it to Eula." ”
"That's good." Wendy smiled happily.
