134 - So pendulum?
Amber has been tired lately.
If Mondstadt had to have a little sun, it wasn't Klee, it could only be Amber.
Klee is too noisy, and her methods of playing with alchemy bombs are completely unrelated to cuteness to most Sumerus.
A little girl who looks too young runs around carrying all kinds of alchemy bombs on her back all day long.
You know she's not going to throw a bomb at you, but what? The fear should be a little bit of fear.
But Amber is different.
This is an overly enthusiastic, overly kind girl.
Most people who have come into contact with Amber will not resist such a new friend, she is warm and kind, always energetic, and willing to lend a hand to most of your troubles.
Lately, however, the people of Mondstadt have not been in the mood for her kindness.
Observing all the way, Sora rubbed his hair.
"Looks like you and your friend have a lot in common now." Paimon sighed, "What to do, Amber, we seem to be a problem for you." ”
"If Eula knew you said that about her, she would have said, 'I wrote down this hatred.'" Amber hid her lips and smiled.
Her heart was far from the peace it appeared.
But what's the use? Inner unhappiness should not be expressed in front of friends.
Now, this sentence is even more unspeakable.
Brother Kong sighed.
Give it up, Amber, if your method of posting a missing person notice had succeeded, there would have been no need to make a deal with Barbatos at that time.
At that time, he just thought that Amber was a joke between friends, and he never thought that for Amber, all the promises made to friends, even if they were just casual words, did not mean to joke.
She took a break from her shifts and gave up the opportunity to recharge her batteries, opting to climb up and down in Mondstadt and post a missing person notice.
I am very touched by the emptiness of things done, but there is no effect at all.
"Eula, I've heard you talk about this man many times." Paimon and Sora glanced at each other, and then tacitly chose to swallow these words, "It's the Lawrence family, but the special Knight of Favonius who chose to join the Knights of Favonius." ”
"We don't think we've ever seen her in Mondstadt."
"Well······ It's because of Lawrence's legacy. Amber scratched the side of her face, "It's okay to talk to you, but I don't know much." ”
When it comes to history, looking for Amber is really - the wrong person.
If it weren't for Eula, she probably wouldn't have learned about Lawrence's history for the rest of her life.
Even if I occasionally flipped through it later, I didn't understand why Eula was treated like this.
To be reasonable, Lawrence's affairs were all about the establishment of the Knights of Favonius a thousand years ago.
What grudge can make you remember it for a thousand years?
The key is that if there is really any deep hatred, you didn't have the opportunity to directly cut the Lawrence family back then.
However, the Knights of Favonius spared Lawrence, but later people were able to remember it for a thousand years.
But Amber only scratched her head and didn't see anything wrong.
She wasn't a victim, so she certainly couldn't say anything.
Furthermore, it is also written in the book that if Vanessa had not changed Mondstadt, commoners like her would have been the playthings of the Mondstadt aristocracy.
These guys even dared to sabotage the celebration of the god of wind and manipulate the celebration prepared for the god of wind to bring the girl who threw the shuttlecock back to the house.
There is no need to write the rest, but Amber is not stupid, of course she knows the follow-up that has not been written-can't these people bring the girl home just to have an exciting game of Seven Saints Summoning, right?
Yes? Are you stupid?
With this record alone, any normal person can only say "good death".
Amber's narration is full of individualistic understanding, but Sora is a strongman who travels through multiple worlds and still captures the truth easily.
"So, there are two problems in this story."
"If the Knights insisted that the rules of freedom started with Vanessa, then she should have destroyed the Lawrence family right back then." ”
"But she managed to let a group of people with unforgivable sins survive."
When future generations look back at the history of thousands of years ago, they dare not say whether they will inherit hatred, or at least they should not say forgiveness on behalf of their ancestors.
A thousand years is indeed too long, and it is the norm that hatred is not passed on.
But instead of forgiving the predecessors, it would be stupid to ask why the methods of the ancestors were so cruel.
"What about the other question?" Amber was curious.
"The other is the question of your position." Sora's face was calm, "Actually, you also think that Lawrence should be destroyed, but you became friends with a girl with the surname Lawrence." ”
"You don't think it's wrong for Lawrence to be discriminated against, you just think she shouldn't be prejudiced."
Just at this badminton festival, I designate a girl to throw the shuttlecock, and no one else is allowed to pick it up, so I must become the lucky one who "picks up the shuttlecock".
The point is that they have to bring the girl home in the end.
This kind of record is a killer attack for Amber and for any normal person.
If she could have any pity for Lawrence, the tragic plight of these girls would remind her that the fate of these people now is to be able to say "yes" without any expression.
The Badminton Festival is not the only one, Lawrence, these aristocratic alliances, do not only choose one girl in a year.
So, in that era when the aristocracy trampled on freedom, how many people suffered disasters because of this?
Just thinking about it, Amber couldn't raise any sympathy.
She just sympathizes with Eula, not Lawrence.
Amber touched her head and smiled a little embarrassed: "It seems like this." ”
"It's okay." Paimon patted his chest, "We all think you're doing the right thing." ”
Mondstadt's Little Sun is actually prejudiced against people, and Amber herself probably never seriously considered it.
When she said it bluntly, she was inevitably a little embarrassed.
But neither Sora nor Paimon felt anything wrong with that.
It would be strange if everyone was treated equally.
"In that case, the reason why we can't see Eula is actually because Captain Qin is trying to protect her, right?" Paimon pondered, "After all, Mondstadt's situation is so tense that even a good person like Amber can be blamed for some trivial matter. ”
"Miss Eula, who bears the Lawrence surname but joined the Knights of Favonius, should be more hostile and hated if she appears in the sights of the people of Mondstadt."
Paimon spread his hands, "It doesn't make sense." ”
Paimon's stance is relatively flexible.
She will occasionally sympathize with others, but most of the time she will stand in the position of Sora, and if Sora does not take a stand, she will stand in the position of her friends.
This is a very classic friend position.
I don't know if you're doing the right thing, but you're my friend, and if I can help you, I'll definitely help you.
Fortunately, Brother Kong's friends are either good guys or forced bad guys, so Paimon's stance has never been a problem.
She didn't care what Lawrence or Mondstadt was, but Amber was her friend.
Amber complained about Eula, and she supported Eula.
You can always trust Paimon.
Although in the later stage, she is also a bit biased towards the role of a troublemaker.
"Paimon is right." Brother Kong, who has the same lineage, did not hesitate.
In fact, both of them could see that the main reason why Amber was blamed for this incident was really not the problem of the people of Mondstadt.
The Knights of Favonius can't keep the people of Mondstadt, and it's not Mondstadt's problem anywhere.
But what do the people of Mondstadt have to do with them? Of course, it is more important to take care of your friend's emotions.
"Don't say it, don't say it!" Amber waved her hand again and again, her face flushed, "The head of the piano has already explained this matter to me, although I also have my own reasoning, but a mistake is a mistake." ”
Sora and Paimon's support makes the girl actually happy.
But Amber is Amber after all, and she doesn't really feel that she is right because of her friend's unreasonable support.
"You're here to help us." Paimon patted his chest in fear, "We met a green-cloaked monster in the forest, only to find out that he seems to be the legendary god of wind in Mondstadt. ”
She had no intention of keeping it a secret for Wendy.
"Anemo? Lord Barbatos! Amber's rabbit ears shook on top of her head, and she looked excited.
Normal people would question, but Amber wouldn't doubt Paimon's words.
She said it, and she believed it.
Sora rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh.
These two people are simple cubs taught in that place, they are really one who dares to say and one who dares to believe.
But it's because Amber is such a person that Sora and Paimon support her unconditionally.
"You're going to be disappointed." Paimon couldn't bear to interrupt the girl's dream, "That wind god Barbatos, I'm afraid it's not the image of the legend. ”
"Anyway, he said we interrupted his plan to save Dvalin, and I thought it was Sora and I had done it."
"Since it was our mistake, of course we should take responsibility, so we agreed to help him solve the problem of the dragon plague."
This part of the story takes place after defeating Stormterror.
After Dvalin was repulsed, Jean immediately took him for his own, as the power of the Anemo God on the empty body was too obvious.
She's just kind, not stupid, and of course can't give much trust to a stranger.
But this stranger has done a great thing, and he has also been approved by the god of wind, so he must be the guest of honor of the Knights of Favonius.
Sora then sees Wendy while wandering around Mondstadt, and at first chases after her with curiosity, but then the man has to perform his feats and play poetry in the crowd.
The content of the poem overlaps with the part that Lisa has given him, and it goes even deeper than Lisa's research.
The work of the Knights of Favonius is not as good as that of a roadside singer, and the empty heart is full of doubts.
It can't really be this kind of food, right?
There must be something wrong with this singing!
He caught up with him on the spot, but Wendy really didn't pretend, and it was directly exposed.
even backhanded the matter of interrupting his plan when Sora, Brother Sora is the least good at owing favors, and he couldn't hold back for a while and became Wendy's ally.
It's not that Sora would be embarrassed to interrupt anyone's plans, and he has worked hard with the Fatui countless times in the future, interrupting the Order's plans many times, and I haven't seen him have any intention of making amends.
It can be seen that this still depends on people.
If my plan to be a good person for everyone is ruined by me, don't worry, I'll step up and turn this imperfect story into what you want it to be.
If you are ruined by the bad guy's plan by me, don't let me touch it a second time, I will stop you once I meet you!
But then I looked at the "warning" that was steadily thrown on the side of the bridge every day, and I realized that maybe the Knights of Favonius was a real thing.
There can be many reasons, but if you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it.
The people of Mondstadt have given you everything you wanted, and now the people of Mondstadt want to live, and this is not a natural disaster, but a foreign invasion that you can't solve.
This is the dish, the iron dish, and it has to be washed.
The kind that has to be encouraged.
Paimon explained the ins and outs, and Amber nodded repeatedly, not skeptical at all.
"So the Anemo God has awakened, but why didn't he fight to stop the Order's plans?" Amber was a little confused.
"Obviously, the Order has other plans." Sora's expression was flat, "Barbatos, he's probably preparing for another plan." ”
It's not hard to react with empty experience.
The only thing he didn't think of was that the Order's real plan was to fight for control of Dvalin.
Sora judged that the Order had taken control of Dvalin.
Controlling the Dragon of the East Wind, there should be a plan for the follow-up, right?
You build a weapon, whether it's to make a fortune or to fight, in short, the weapon shouldn't be the plan itself.
The reason why Barbatos did not appear directly, but chose to let himself help, should be to prepare for the follow-up plan.
Not only was it empty, but the Knights of Favonius also did not expect that the Order's fishing plan was for the sake of Dvalin, which had already been in their hands.
They all thought that controlling Dvalin was a prerequisite for a real plan, and that the real plan might be what Dvalin needed to do.
But Dvalin was their plan itself.
This dragon of the east wind has been controlled, but it is not enough.
The Order's expectations are not just a slightly "somewhat grumpy" dragon of the east, he can even retain his memory and wisdom, but only if he is completely subservient to the Order's weapons of war.
Dvalin was furious, but he didn't want to leave Mondstadt, he was still pestering Barbatos, and the Order couldn't get the dragon away.
Dvalin didn't want to go, what could they do with the mages who were barely driven by curses?
At this time, let alone the Abyss Mage, even if the Abyss Apostle comes, he will have to suffer two big mouths from Dvalin.
The curse can take effect, not to say that it's all dog luck, but it's actually pretty much the same.
This curse can interfere with Dwari's thoughts at a critical moment, but if you want to control Dvalin, it will be far from it.
They also need time to continue this work.
Otherwise, just leave Mondstadt with Dvalin, and you won't have to worry about the Anemo God's mouth.
This is too strong.
Two or three sentences work more than their curses.
"By the way, I remembered something about that guy." Sora suddenly remembered something, "He told me that the [Lyre of the Sky] could help with the trouble with Stormterror. ”
"I had made an appointment to meet at the church, but yesterday he suddenly said that his friend was coming and the plan was cancelled at the last minute."
"But the Sky Lyre should still be a necessity for the plan, do you have a way to get it?"
Sora doesn't count on Amber, he means that you tell Jean that the god of wind wants the Lyre of the Sky and asks Jean to find a way to get it.
Amber may not have understood the hint, but she knew what to do.
At this time, the people of Mondstadt know what to do - if they don't make a decision, they will find Jean, and they will leave the responsibility to Jean, and everyone will only be responsible for the work.
Your problem was successfully transferred to Qin, and you benefited when the matter was done, and Qin will comfort you if the matter did not work out, these things are not arranged by her thoughtful, and then find a way to compensate.
Amber doesn't think so.
The main thing is that this matter can really only be solved by Jean.
At Mondstadt's annual Badminton Festival, considering that the Wind God will not appear, you can only invite the Sky Lyre, the [Holy Relic] used by the Wind God.
As a native of Mondstadt, Amber knows all too well how high the status of the Lyre in the Sky is.
This is completely inaccessible to ordinary people.
You can steal or rob, it's not very difficult, in the plot, the Fatui released two thunder warlocks and snatched the [precious Sky Lyre].
Only if you want to go through the positive procedure, then you have to go up the intensity.
The head of the Knights, the bishop of the Church of Zephyr, and the representatives of the people agreed to negotiate and sign the document at the same time to obtain the Lyre of the Sky.
To be reasonable, stealing and being strong are much easier than borrowing from the program.
Amber couldn't have imagined this kind of night visit to church and then "borrowing" the Lyre of the Sky.
But she believes that Jean must have a way.
Thinking of the plan related to the wind god, Amber suddenly came to the Knights' residence in high spirits.
Then she bumped into a group of people for a meeting, and the only person who sat down was not the acting head of the group, but the special case of a strange girl.
I shouldn't be here .jpg
It was not difficult to explain the ins and outs, and after listening to it, Jean made a promise that he would bring back the Sky Lyre.
Nominally, three forces need to come forward together, but if it is Jean, she can settle the church alone.
After all, the Lyre of the Sky is kept in the hands of the Church.
You need the consent of the three parties to obey the creed, but if you use a little trick, the Order can "make a mistake", and they "accidentally" end up losing the harp, but then the wind god blesses and the harp of the sky returns, who can say more?
Anyway, the Sky Lyre was not lost.
The news of the return of the god of wind is a hundred times more important than the existence of the harp in the sky, and it is only when there is no god of wind that this harp needs to be brought out.
With the god of wind, who cares what holy relics the god of wind has used.
Only Diluc and Kaeya remembered something.
Meet to steal ······ Borrowing the Lyre of the Sky, he suddenly said that his old friend was here, and then he simply left.
Eventually, Sora found the Knights, and the agreed Barbatos disappeared.
This seems to be the drama of this morning, right?
That is to say, yesterday Barbatos went to receive the little auspicious grass king, and then released the empty pigeons overnight, and at the same time handed over the affairs of the knights to the god of grass······ So swing?!
The two brothers were expressionless, not at all surprised.
To be reasonable, if this is a choice made by Barbatos, it seems normal.
Jean glanced at Nahida, who was sitting in the first place, and saw that the other party did not have any special attitude, so he did not mean to introduce his identity in depth.
"Regarding the Sky Lyre, it's a bit of a buggy program."
She said that it was a little troublesome, but her expression did not change at all, "But it is good to leave this matter to me, I can lend the Sky Lyre." ”
Whether it is for the church to compromise directly or to really go through the procedure, she is sure enough.
Compared to the trouble they faced, this was not a problem at all.
Sora glanced at Nahida and saw that Jean didn't mean to introduce her, so she didn't ask any more.
"That's good." Sora breathed a sigh of relief, "Although it is not clear about Wendy's plan, he should be sure. ”
You can't really let me go solo against Stormmagic, can you?
Anemo wouldn't be such a bastard, would he?
In his current state, he would literally be pinned to the ground and beaten by Dvalin.
Gather the key props and then challenge the demon king, which is also a common part of heroic epics, and you must try it.
"Wait a minute." Qin pondered for a moment, "It's about the dragon disaster, but it's actually a very dangerous thing. ”
"The Order has a fairly powerful elite knight, but her status is somewhat peculiar and not suitable for the other two plans."
"And to solve the dragon plague, I think she can be an assistant to the Honorary Knight."
The Knights will face three challenges next.
The Dragonscourge, Jean's outing, and the Order's possible plans to attack Mondstadt after the Elite were captured by these two plans.
The dragon plague involved the wind god, and Qin's outing involved the elite of the Knights, not to mention that they also planned to raid the Order's lair once and for all.
With both forces caught at the same time, it's a matter of how much defense Mondstadt will be able to retain.
At this time, the other party smiling and storming Mondstadt, and the old family will be destroyed.
Let Sora replace the Knights to solve the dragon plague, Jean actually feels guilty.
This is obviously a problem with the Knights of Favonius, and after Amber explains, everyone openly agrees with the statement that "they have interrupted the plan and must make compensation".
In fact, they all thought it was the wind god fooling the sky.
Especially Diluc and Kaeya, they have every reason to believe that this is the rhetoric of the god of wind looking for a helper and wanting to be a pendulum.
But it's really impossible to free up your hand, so you can only get into trouble.
And Eula happens to be an unplanned force, her identity is too troublesome at this time, and the people of Mondstadt can even rebuke Amber, let alone Lawrence, who is daily with hatred.
Jean was able to protect Eula by temporarily keeping her outside of Mondstadt.
It just so happened that at this time, Eula became an empty helper.
As for the aftermath, Jean made up her mind to make up for Sora.
"That's the best." Sora raised an eyebrow, "It's also nice to have a helper." ”
Wendy, he can also be regarded as a helper······ Right?
