Section 23
"Let's take a look first. Lord Gelmer is also thinking about Mondstadt. Apart from other things, he has reached an agreement with the Fools on the dragon disaster. I heard that the Fools are very strong. , solving that wind dragon is definitely not a problem!”
Luo Minghe openly visited the Knights and met with Qin. Naturally, this news could not be hidden from anyone.
The name of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is well known even in Mondstadt. If they come forward and guarantee the supply of materials to Mondstadt City, there will definitely be no problem.
Moreover, this matter is obvious, and with Qin's support, the aristocratic group can't do anything even if they want to interfere.
At least while Jean was in office.
Of course, Su Chen would not let the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce help in vain. Free things are often the most expensive. Both the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and Qin knew this.
So last night he asked Luo Minghe to exchange for "Gunhilde helps the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce establish a foothold in Mondstadt". Compared to letting the Noble Chamber of Commerce control Mondstadt's economy, Qin is more willing to let the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce come in.
At least in Mondstadt, if the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce really wanted to do something outrageous, she would be able to stop it.
Besides, isn't there a senior Diluc here?
No matter how powerful the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is, the strong dragon cannot defeat the local snakes, but Grandpa Lu is still a well-deserved King of Mondstadt.
However, Qin was still surprised by Luo Minghe's visit, and then asked about the small traders in Mondstadt against the nobles not long ago. Although Luo Minghe used it as a 'meeting gift before cooperation' as an excuse, Qin still felt a little Not quite right.
Could it be that the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce had expected this to happen?
She thought it was impossible.
There is another reason for suspicion, that is, Su Chen brought up the matter.
Qin wondered if the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce's action might be related to Su Chen?
You know, the current situation has turned into an infighting in Mondstadt. The most taboo thing for other countries' chambers of commerce is to interfere in this kind of thing. Once Qin loses, it will be difficult for the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce to open channels in Mondstadt in the future.
However, the Chamber of Commerce still chooses to do this. As a businessman, weighing interests is a basic ability. Is Luo Minghe stupid? Or is there someone behind it?
But Su Chen is just a small assistant, how can he be related to a behemoth like the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce?
Qin was a little confused.
Although, she always felt that this assistant was never simple.
"I think instead of thinking about this, you should think about what to do next. The fools are already waiting in the conference room."
Looking at Qin with a troubled face, Lisa said amusedly.
"You're not worried at all." Qin sighed helplessly.
"What are you worried about? At least the situation is getting better now, isn't it? After the arrival of the Loming River, the wind direction in Mondstadt immediately changed."
"That's why I'm worried...I always have a feeling that there is an invisible hand controlling everything."
"By whom? Su Chen?"
Qin said seriously: "Have you never doubted him? I'm not questioning his ability. On the contrary, his ability is too good. He can achieve results no matter what he does. Why did he come to Mondstadt to be a small assistant? ?”
"Maybe he's attracted to you." Lisa teased, but seeing Qin's serious look, she also restrained her smile and pondered a little: "Qin, I have never doubted Su Chen."
Qin was surprised: "Why?"
Lisa smiled: "Perhaps as you said, he is too outstanding. If he is arranging all this, then what is he doing for? I believe in him, so no matter what he is for, he will not hurt Meng Isn’t it virtue?”
"Besides, the premise for you to say this is that Su Chen is planning everything, but it's just your personal guess."
Jean nodded and stood up.
"You're right. Instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about how to deal with the next thing."
Watching Qin walk out of the office.
Lisa's smile slowly faded.
Then he sighed.
"Teacher, please don't push Qin into the fire pit."
Follow Su Chen's immature suggestion yesterday.
The rules for the election of the acting leader are open votes, which are determined by the support of the Knights' internal and Mondstadt people's representatives, as well as the opinions of the noble groups.
First of all, the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce will officially help. With this giant of the chamber of commerce standing beside Qin, her reputation in the hearts of the people of Mondstadt City will not be too bad, not to mention returning to the level where she was thanked for helping to find cats and dogs.
After all, judging from the current situation, the supplies from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce are a necessary factor to support the people through the difficulties.
Secondly, that is to gain the support of fools.
This was important in opinion within the Order.
The reason why there are a large number of people in the Knights who support Gaelmai is that, in addition to the noble group taking the lead, a large number of people are also because Qin's handling of the dragon disaster issue has really caused their dissatisfaction.
Six months!
After spending half a year painstakingly dealing with one thing, not everyone is a hard-working workaholic like Qin. Every member of the Knights had to fight dangerously with monsters because of the dragon disaster. The casualties in the past six months have exceeded Hard to imagine.
When people under their command are not doing well, leaders are naturally responsible.
Not to mention that not everyone knows that Tevarin is the guardian of the four winds. Even if they all know that after half a year of torture, the remaining reverence in human hearts for Tevarin will disappear.
After all, Tevalin was the guardian of the four winds five hundred years ago, not the current one. The current Mondstadt people only suffered damage from the Wind Demon Dragon and did not accept its protection.
Because of this, there are often voices within the Knights trying their best to kill Tevalin, but every time they are stopped by Qin.
For Qin, Tvarin has protected Mondstadt and has done countless things for thousands of years. Now that things have changed, the people of Mondstadt should help it in turn.
This idea is indeed correct.
However, the consequence of her compassion was that the people of Mondstadt suffered from the dragon plague.
meeting room.
Qin looked at the woman sitting opposite - the eighth executive officer of the Fools, 'Ms.'
The latter did not hide the sarcasm on his face and said: "Why, Captain Qin finally compromised? The oldest noble of Mondstadt, Gunnhild, you have always claimed to be the guardian of Mondstadt, but now you want to fight with us Did these so-called 'people with bad intentions' cooperate to kill the wind dragon?"
Qin said solemnly: "I would like to state again that our cooperation is to solve the dragon disaster, not to kill Tevalin."
"Then there's no need to talk." The lady sneered, "Do you want to gain our support to regain your advantage in the next election? Indeed, if we are willing to cooperate with you instead of Gailmai, those supports The people of Gelmai have to consider their position.”
"But, why should I help you? Gailmaich agreed to kill the wind dragon, haha~ The Mondstadt people killed their own guardians, but most people still supported it. It's really ironic, your wind god , Are you still planning to hide away now? That’s how he avoided his responsibilities back then, and it’s the same now.”
As she spoke, the lady stood up and prepared to end this boring negotiation.
She didn't care at all who would be the leader of the knights.
In other words, Gail Mailai is better.
Then let this decadent country become even worse.
She wanted to see how long the god of Mondstadt would stay hidden!
At this moment, Qin suddenly said: "Are you talking about five hundred years ago? Because Master Fengshen failed to protect Captain Rustan, you have a grudge against him, right?"
The lady paused.
Look back.
His eyes were fixed on Qin.
"Who told you this?!"
Chapter 22 The water hour hand stopped rotating [Third update, 3k! 】
"Who told you this?!"
The temperature of the entire conference room became extremely cold as the woman's mood fluctuated.
The knights waiting outside the house felt the movement and rushed in one after another, holding weapons and looking at the lady warily.
The latter didn't care at all, and still stared at Qin, wanting to get the answer.
Almost no one knows what happened between her and Rustan five hundred years ago!
Roland was the only one left in the fire, but Roland would never cooperate with the Knights again.
So, how could Qin know?
Qin didn't speak, but took something out of her arms.
The woman's pupils contracted instantly.
That is.
The water hour hand she gave to Su Chen when she left Mondstadt five hundred years ago!
At this moment, the water hour hand has stopped rotating.
It seems that the time five hundred years ago has been frozen in the beginning.
It was stained with blood.
"I learned the reason for this from a person. I don't know how he got this water hour hand, but he told me that you, like Rustan back then, also have the determination to protect Mondstadt. "
In fact, when Su Chen told Qin that the lady was actually from Mondstadt, she was shocked.
After all, there are too few records about the lady. Few people even know that she is the Witch of Fire who burned countless monsters. She disappeared after leaving Mondstadt in despair. Five hundred years are enough to wash away all traces of her. clean.
Qin didn't know where Su Chen got the news.
But if the lady had witnessed what happened back then, she might know something they didn’t know.
"Tell me where that person is!" the lady said coldly.
"It's useless to tell you. He is just a Liyue person passing through Mondstadt. Since history has happened, it will be recorded in some way. He may only know it by accident."
Jean placed the water hour hand on the table and pushed it to the opposite side.
"Can we sit down and talk now? We are both Mondstadt citizens. Lord Rustam fought to protect Mondstadt back then. If you still love him, you will not bear to see Mondstadt in danger."
The lady's expression kept changing... "People from Liyue... People from Liyue..." She finally took a deep breath, calmed down and sat down, holding the water hour hand in her hand.
Seeing this, Qin waved her hand to signal the knights to retreat.
It seemed that what Su Chen said was true... Without thinking too much, seeing the tenderness in the lady's eyes, Qin knew that the lady had indeed survived five hundred years ago.
Although she had not experienced the disaster five hundred years ago, the information recorded in the text told her that it was a terrible disaster that swept across Teyvat. If Rustan hadn't led the Knights to kill the enemy heroically, the end result would have been They will die together with the terrible dragon that fell in the snowy mountains, and I am afraid that Mondstadt will also be destroyed.
Suddenly, the lady laughed wildly.
"Hahaha, hahahahaha... Captain Qin, I have to admire you. Since you know that I witnessed that disaster with my own eyes, and you also know the reason why I hate Fengshen... now you still want to beg me to protect Mongolia together. De?”
