Chapter 168: A Kingdom Without God's Constraints
When Wendy saw Zhongli smiling and silent, his mind came alive and began to guess the old man's thoughts.
Well, when asked about the history of Mondstadt, the clever Wendy extracted a crucial clue, and Morax seemed to care about what would happen to the realm that mortals would govern on their own after the gods left.
After figuring it out, the corners of Wendy's mouth rose, and her eyes became more and more playful when she looked at Zhongli.
Zhongli looked at Wendy, who had one hand on his cheek and the other hand playing with the tea bowl on the small table, and he looked at him with a gaze that said, "I already know your secret, but I won't tell."
Zhongli guessed that Wendy knew what he thought, and the corners of his mouth rose, and he took a sip of the teacup, and in this moment, Zhongli thought of his words and spoke.
"I remember that more than a thousand years ago, you returned to Mondstadt."
"Well, to help some people, but also to make the people of Mondstadt feel free again." When Wendy heard this, she remembered that he once again stood in the ranks of the rebels, helping a Munata maiden slay a dragon against the oppression of the noble Lawrence family, who were headed at the time.
"So you imitated my handwriting and signed a false contract." Zhongli said casually, casually telling a truth that was enough to shock the annals of history.
"At that time, it was also to mobilize the soldiers under the nobles, and in the end, I was knocked out by you, old man, I know that there is no way to hide it from you in this world." Wendy laughed.
A thousand years ago, Mondstadt fell into the Dark Ages, a time when the nobles exploited and oppressed the people, and the great hero Vanessa united the people of Mondstadt to rebel against the nobles.
At this time, a secret contract known as the "Leeward Secret Pact" was circulated, which stated that the nobles of Mondstadt had packed up everything in Mondstadt and sold it to neighboring Liyue.
When the soldiers of the nobility heard the news, they shuddered at the thought of becoming slaves in a foreign country in the future, and they assisted the rebels and killed their masters.
But [Leeward's Secret Covenant] is actually a contract that Wendy cheated and forged, and some people in later generations have proved it to be false, but those expelled nobles are now safe?
Anyway, they were born in the first place, so they don't deceive the people of Mondstadt very often?
"Having helped the people of Mondstadt overthrow the rotten aristocracy and establish the Four Winds Guardian, why did you choose to leave again after seeing the consequences of the God's absence?" Zhongli asked.
When Wendy heard this, she had a rare look of seriousness.
"Old man, you also know that I was originally an elf, and my promotion to the Demon God also absorbed the power of my opponent, the Gale Demon God Dicarapian. Before that, Decarapian, the demon god known as the Lone King of the Tower, ruled over most of the people of Mondstadt. ”
But what was the result of his rule? The people were oppressed by the hurricane, and the people lived in fear of the king who stood on the tower and looked down on them, and lived in fear and anxiety. ”
Does this mean that Decarapian did not love his people? No, on the contrary, He loved His people without understanding what His people really desired. This had a big impact on my nascent Aeol. ”
"We are demon gods after all, and they are human. Can we really always understand what our people want? Even if the wind is windy, there are moments when it stops, but people's thoughts will never be. ”
Zhongli listened to Wendy's long talk and thought about it seriously.
After a long time, the meal was ready, Zhongli was still thinking, and after Wendy said hello, she poured herself a glass of Liyue spirits in anticipation, licked her tongue like a cat and tasted it, and then it was so spicy that she bared her teeth.
"Without God's constraints, the future of the mortal kingdom is unpredictable." Zhongli finally spoke.
Wendy put the fried peanuts in her mouth and nodded in agreement.
"But we also have to believe in the potential of mortals, and I have experienced this in recent times." Zhongli said warmly.
"I am worried that a kingdom without God's restraint will develop in some irreparable direction, like the end of the once glorious kingdom five hundred years ago, and it is not an isolated case."
Wendy was silent, and spoke up after a while.
"No, we'll see."
Zhongli snorted and didn't refute.
…………
By the time Zhongli returned to the Hall of the Dead, it was already moonlit, but it was not time for the night patrol.
Hu Tao waited until Zhongli came back and pulled him to discuss something with him.
When Zhong Li heard this, he had a guess in his heart, every time Hu Tao looked like this, he was going to make trouble, and this was what the suona carried the coffin like last time.
After the suona carried the coffin, some people really ordered this form of funeral again.
After Hu Tao informed Zhongli of Lin Ye's plan without even writing documents, Zhongli fell silent.
Idol?
Stage performances?
Barbatos probably liked this.
If Zhongli's idea of simulating the forest in his mind succeeds, what kind of impact will it have on Liyue Harbor?
This kind of thing can be big or small, and if you think about it in a small way, it's almost the same as storytelling and singing, attracting a group of customers, and it's not a big deal.
But what about the big picture? It will form a group of loyal fans and influence the direction of public opinion in Liyue Harbor.
Zhongli thought that if things got bigger, Liyue Seven Stars wouldn't be able to ignore them, so Hu Tao and Lin Ye would try to inject new vitality into Liyue Harbor.
Zhongli also hopes that public opinion in Liyue Harbor will be more content, and stop talking about the emperor all the time, sometimes Zhongli is surprised that he still has this image.
Besides, it's one thing if the idol project is unsuccessful.
Zhongli offered verbal encouragement.
Then Hu Tao really proposed, should Zhongli become the first batch of men's groups to debut in the Afterlife?
Zhongli thought that he was dancing in front of the stage, and it would be fine if it was Liyue's ancient war dance, but Hall Master Hu said that the dance must be youthful and sunny, with a sweet smile on his face......
Zhongli decisively refused.
Hu Tao had expected it, and did not force it, waving his hand to indicate that he was looking for Lin Ye to patrol the night.
Zhongli looked at the back of Hu Tao leaving, thinking to himself that Lin Ye was really an interesting person, and he often had wild ideas, but don't take him with him if you have something.
…………
Shenhe is a cultivator, so he also joins the night patrol.
Hu Tao was very happy, after all, he had an extra friend to accompany him at night.
Lin Ye yawned, patrolling for a long time, it became a job, once he worked, Lin Ye instinctively sleepy.
Hu Tao and Shenhe walked in front, Lin Ye followed behind, looking at the backs of one tall and one short, and under the moonlight, the shadows of the two were shining aside.
Lin Ye suddenly thought, will there be this scene in a few decades?
It's time to suppress the clouds. Lin Ye smiled and shook his head again.
Over the next half month, Lin Ye and Hu Tao went to investigate the market, and Shenhe followed, so he became familiar with the streets of Liyue Harbor.
Unconsciously, the time to make an appointment with Liuyun Borrowing Wind Zhenjun has arrived.
Lin Ye had planned that it would be time to go to Mondstadt after this was done, after all, his own mother was floating around when she was bored, which was strange and scary.
