Chapter 614: A Different Kind of Liveliness
"This is the will of the God of Wind. You cannot go against his will. You are betraying Mondstadt!"
"Nonsense! Mondstadt is a free country. We live in a land where a thousand winds blow. Freedom is the fundamental law set by Lord Barbatos. Who do you think you are?"
Duraf released the hound team with an angry look on his face: "If you don't leave, I'll let the guys bite you to death!"
The speaker fled from Qingquan Town in a hurry, while Duraf quickly packed his luggage and headed towards Mondstadt with a group of old teammates.
If such a person appeared in Qingquan Town, then what would the situation be like in Mondstadt, which was at the center of the vortex? Duraf simply couldn't imagine it.
He can put the hunting team's work aside for the time being, and the young people in the team are also able to take charge of their own work, so completing the work targets will not be a problem.
Compared with this, he is more concerned about the safety of his precious daughter!
Diona, please don't be in any trouble!
Duraf hurried on, and found that the situation in Mondstadt was indeed not as optimistic as he had guessed.
Compared to the slightly remote Qingquan Town, the situation around the streets of Mondstadt can only be described as a riot of demons.
Orators, bards, and Mondstadt people who came to "consult" on matters and question the Knights all appeared on the scene, just like a drama reaching a critical moment.
One thing they have in common is that these people's actions are all about public opinion and elections. The speakers even package themselves as extremely great and glorious.
The Knights of Favonius had no way to deal with this, and they did not hinder the normal production and life of the people of Mond. If they had rashly stopped them, the few people who were praising the speeches on the side would have become martyrs.
Look, today's Mondstadt and today's Knights Templar are so rude and barbaric. In order to expose such ugliness, we are willing to sacrifice our lives!
What stands out is disgusting.
The bards are even more outrageous. They sing some weird little stories about "Democracy is good, democracy is great, and democratic life brings endless joy" all day long.
The key is that this novel subject matter really attracted some people to watch, and it subtly achieved their goal.
This situation continued for a while. Even knights like Amber, who often had to travel in the wild and held official positions, had to go through the side door, otherwise they would inevitably be watched.
Anyway, in Gu Sanqiu's opinion, those people were just like stupid reporters who didn't care about anything but performance.
“Haha, it’s a mess.”
A group of grandparents and grandchildren walked slowly on the street. The younger one had a formal smile on his face, and when he met someone who wanted to come and give a speech, he politely and gracefully declined the invitation.
Occasionally, there would be a few people who were not very good at looking, and a gust of wind would blow up for no apparent reason and blow away their speeches.
The old man in the wheelchair looked at the chaos with a smile: "It's been a while since we've had such a lively time. Or is it because I haven't been out for a long time?"
"Interesting, but not much."
The young man said calmly, "They have already taken the Thousand Winds Divine Stone out for display. It's placed in the square over there by the Wind God statue. It looks quite authentic."
"If that's the case, Xiao Gu, do you think the mastermind behind this is someone from the bard group?"
"How is that possible? They put it there just to take advantage of the momentum of the God of Wind. How could the person behind it risk his life?"
"Besides, if we put the stone under the statue of the god of wind, the Knights of Favonius will have to watch over it carefully for fear that it will disappear."
"By the way, if they want to achieve their own goals, it is not impossible that they will steal from the company and throw mud at it."
"You can rest assured about this. Not only the Knights of Favonius, but also the Wind Guards are secretly monitoring the entire square. They can't cause any trouble."
Anger was revealed in the old man's eyes. "Now, it's just the calm before the storm. It's not time to overturn them all in one go."
The two people were naturally the disguised Gu Sanqiu and the old mother from the West Wind Church. They had seen everything that had happened in Mond during this period, and of course they had hidden their anger very well.
The old mother couldn't bear to see these people destroying the harmony and stability of Mond, while Gu Sanqiu simply wanted to get rid of them all in one go.
Fortunately, these people knew the deterrent power of Alice and did not use excuses like "the Knights gave a child the title of knight" to cause trouble. Otherwise, he would really have to find Albedo to start a massacre.
The Knights are not completely indifferent to this kind of thing. They are just doing some basic stability maintenance work and waiting for things to develop.
This style of hiding endless fire under the ice is very similar to the two brothers of the Leggenfind family.
He didn't know whether Diluk took any action, but the idea here was definitely from Kaeya.
If Jean were to handle the matter, the Knights of Favonius would now be working to resolve conflicts and hold press conferences, instead of letting things run their course now.
Although Qin is a qualified acting leader, she still lacks experience in some aspects and has no way to deal with these unscrupulous underworld people.
But it’s definitely different when it comes to Kaeya. The degree of blackening is so serious that it affects the skin. The ice-type guy is quite clear about this aspect.
If Liyue has a navy hidden among the people called the Southern Cross Fleet, and its captain Beidou is one of the underground bosses of the entire Liyue, then Kaeya's identity in Mond is exactly similar to it. The difference is that Kaeya does not have as much military force.
As a person who often slacks off in pubs, how did Kaeya manage to fight crime so accurately every time? Many people attributed it to Kaeya's talent and "detective talent".
The ability is there, of course, but the main reason is the network of informants developed by Kaeya, which is no different from a spider web.
No one's success is given by God, and it is impossible for people to be lucky all the time.
Frequently dealing with people who walk on the edge of the law, it is most appropriate to let Kaia preside over this incident.
For such tough guys, Kaia could throw them off Cape Lookout without batting an eyelid, and maybe even sing a .
However, there might be too many people thrown this time, so it would be more convenient to throw them to the Frost Tree. After all, the giant elemental vine does not need their help to deal with the corpses that have been smashed into a paste.
"Xiao Gu, do you think these people really don't know what they are doing?"
"How could I not know?"
Gu Sanqiu laughed: "For an excellent performer or speaker, it is a must to fully put yourself into the role. You must make others feel the reality that comes to them."
"These people have undoubtedly done this. The only difference between them and the performers is that these people all know their true purpose and put themselves in for the promised benefits in the future."
Gu Sanqiu, who possessed a little emotional power, could feel that these people were indeed trying their best to awaken the "democratic consciousness" of the Mond people.
But hidden deep inside is the most real desire, even a very ugly desire, that weird "taste" is disgusting.
The situation was special. Gu Sanqiu, who had never explored , made a small exception this time. As a result, he encountered such a thing. It was like opening a food box and finding it was full of unspeakable things.
He was so excited that he almost beat the man to pieces in the street.
"The only thing they can rely on is the Thousand Winds Divine Stone that was used to regulate the climate. I don't know why they think the church and the Knights will surrender. Is this a plan they came up with?"
To be honest, the old mother was a little disappointed. During the Ilok incident, the strategies used by the Fatui and other forces were more sophisticated than this time.
As an old person who has experienced many ups and downs, she really looks down on these jumping clowns.
"No, no, how can such a decisive person, or think tank, be an idiot?"
Gu Sanqiu laughed and pushed his old mother back towards the West Wind Church.
"Maybe this isn't their goal?"
