Section 8
What he wants to do is to change the past through simulation. If it succeeds this time, it will be of great significance to him.
Rosalin had a look of panic in her eyes. She always felt that what Su Chen said to her had a deeper meaning.
"Please don't say that, Rustam."
Rosalind's gaze quickly became determined.
"If you encounter trouble one day, I will return as a fire butterfly and face the most ferocious hell with you."
"I ask for the protection of the gods, and I hope that the fire of karma will burn me. Even if it turns into a sneak, I will definitely protect you."
She took out a water hour hand from her arms.
This hour hand records the time when she and Su Chen parted.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...
"Goodbye, Rustam."
The girl said silently in her heart: "Goodbye, my beloved."
...
[Rosalyn's departure did not have much impact on Earthfire. After you took control of the Knights, you canceled all previous actions against Earthfire. This move was immediately opposed by a large number of people, but you didn't care. 】
[Twenty-five years old, you spent nearly a year slowly reorganizing the Knights, gradually eliminating those who came in relying on family connections, and placing underground people within the Knights. So far, Mondstadt has most of the rights. It's all in your hands. 】
[At the age of twenty-six, you began to formulate a series of policies. The first was to strengthen the assessment standards of the Knights. Regardless of civilians or nobles, as long as they have sufficient ability, they will have the opportunity to enter the Knights and hold important positions. 】
[You began to reduce the privileges of the nobility, carried out land reform, and collected a large amount of land occupied by the nobility and decentralized it. You originally planned to distribute these lands to the common people, but it would not be possible to distribute them free of charge. After much thought, you finally decided to use the national It is leased to ordinary people for farming, and they only need to pay a very small rental fee to get corresponding rewards for their labor. 】
[This policy has been supported by the people of Mondstadt, and more and more people have become your supporters. 】
[Get the achievement ‘Loved by Ten Thousand People’. 】
[On your twenty-seventh birthday, a dazzling Eye of God appears under everyone's gaze and flies into your hand. Unexpectedly, they all thought it was the gaze of the wind god Barbatos, but it turned out to be the eye of the ice god. 】
[You were silent for a moment, then handed it to the assistant in front of everyone, and said with a smile that if the Knights ran out of money one day, they would sell it for money. 】
[You drank a lot that day, and it started to rain on the way back. The rain was very heavy, and thunder and lightning flashed in the sky. You touched your pocket and found that the Eye of God was lying in your pocket. 】
"Is ice representative of conflict and struggle? What do I have to be conflicted about?"
In previous lives, some people have speculated on the quality represented by the eye of God of each element, but how reliable it is, I am afraid even mhy himself does not know.
Su Chen threw the Eye of God into a side alley.
But miraculously, the Eye of God soon appeared in his hands again.
Appearing out of thin air, silently and incomprehensibly.
"Why can the Eye of God of the Eye Hunting Order be confiscated? Does it have to be snatched away?"
Su Chen shook his head secretly and put the Eye of God into his pocket.
He doesn't need this kind of thing.
This is a feeling, say it is arrogance or something.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
The sound of footsteps suddenly came from the sound of rain.
From that secret corner, an arrow condensed with flames shot out, like fireworks blooming in the darkness, exploding on the dark and damp streets, setting off dazzling sparks.
Boom!
Chapter 9 Iron-Blooded Tyrant Rustan [Ninth update]
At the banquet of the Knights.
After Su Chen left, the dinner was coming to an end.
Elendlin sat alone in the corner. He had been like this all night. Although he was a member of the Knights, as a representative of the hostile noble forces, he should not have been here tonight.
But there was no way, Su Chen came to invite, and Ellendlin finally came.
"You are indeed here. Look at what you look like now. You look like a homeless stray dog."
A middle-aged man wearing aristocratic clothing appeared at the wine table.
He looked at the drunken knights around him with contempt, and cursed "vulgar" and "uneducated" in his mouth.
"Father, what are you doing here?" Aelendlin raised his head and looked at the man with a frown.
"I've been here a long time ago. I thought you could uphold the pride of the nobility and let this meaningless celebration end unhappily. Unfortunately, my expectations for you were indeed too high." The man snorted coldly, "I did it back then. I shouldn’t have taken you there, that lowly guy Rustan, he has forgotten how he grew up. If it weren’t for the kindness of our family, he and the villagers would have died of hunger!”
"Father, not even you can say that about my friends!" Elendlin retorted, "and they would probably be better off without us."
"What are you talking about?"
The man's eyes widened, "Listen, Elendlin, you must listen to me tonight. No matter what happens, you must stand firmly on our side."
Aeldlin suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
He knew his father and how crazy those people in the aristocratic circle were.
Although they are usually humble and polite, if someone touches their cake, they will immediately turn into a mad dog and show their sharp fangs.
"What do you want to do?!"
Elendlin stood up in a swish and stared at the man like a lion, "Father, I have already said that Rustan is the best candidate for the leader, and Mondstadt will definitely become better with him! "
"It's not important, Elendlin!" the man said solemnly, "In the face of family glory, nothing is important, Mond has become better? That's just an arrogant and ignorant guy's self-delusion! Look at Lu What did Stan do? He took our land and gave it to the poor!”
"What's wrong with this?"
Elendlin said without any sign of weakness: "Father, you always talk about nobles and nobles, but whether we are nobles or commoners, we are all Mondstadt's people, the people of Lord Fengshen. In my opinion, the pride of nobles is not Acquiring wealth is not about being richer than anyone else, but about being spiritually noble!”
"But look at now, more than 90% of Mondstadt's wealth is in the hands of less than 10% of the people, while the remaining 90% of people can only get a small share of the assets. This is obviously unreasonable!"
"Damn! Elendlin, what did that guy Rustan instill in you?" the man said angrily, "Listen, you can't imagine the greed of those untouchables. You gave them these today, and they want more tomorrow. Until everything in your hand is snatched away! Elendlin, please remember that Rustan’s idea is wrong, he is too naive, and one day he will be pushed into the abyss by those who support him!”
Elendlin said nothing.
He knew he couldn't convince his father.
Not everyone can accept losing what you already have.
Even if it is him, it is impossible to say that he has no ideas.
But as a noble, he felt that he should think more about Mondstadt, far more than ordinary people. It was okay for nobles to enjoy rights, but they should also bear the responsibilities corresponding to these rights.
Aelendlin looked outside, and suddenly a knight broke in, panicking and shouting loudly.
"Something happened! Someone attacked the Grand Commander!"
Wow! ~~
The entire banquet hall was noisy.
The man immediately said: "Quick! Elendlin, control everyone, don't let them pass!"
boom!
Aelendlin overturned the wine table.
The wine glass fell to the ground, shattering all over the place. The crisp sound of ping pong made the entire banquet hall become silent instantly.
Just when the man looked happy, thinking that Aelendlin had finally woken up.
The burly Lion of Light pushed him away, and his eyes that were a little drunk instantly became extremely sober. He grabbed the big sword on the side and shouted loudly: "Everyone, attack, follow me to support the Grand Leader! "
"Elendrin! Elendrin!"
"You are a traitor to the family!"
Angry shouts came from behind.
Aeldlin rushed into the rainy night.
...
[This was a brutal attack and killing. 】
[There are no less than a hundred elite warriors, including two owners of the Eye of God. They obtained the Eye of God, which is the sight cast by the gods, but human justice is not the justice of God, and the owners of the Eye of God are also It doesn't necessarily mean kindness and kindness. 】
[But despite this, they are still no match for you. In the rainy night, you become more and more courageous as you fight. There are corpses under your feet, and the blood is soaked in the ground, washed and mixed by the rain. The heavy rain still cannot cover up the pungent smell of blood. 】
[Soon after, Elendlin led others to join the battle, and you worked together to kill all the attackers, including the two owners of the Eye of God. 】
[The battle is over, you and Elendlin look at each other, and everything goes without saying. 】
[Acquired the achievement ‘Killing Like Hemp’. 】
[You inspired the dark will and your strength further improved. 】
[After this failed attack, the nobles have completely lost the opportunity to kill you. They are afraid of your powerful strength. Some nobles even contacted Gunnhild privately, trying to gain a chance to survive by jumping back. 】
[You ignored these people, but you knew that you could not use the power of the Knights to deal with these nobles on the surface, so the Earth Fire began to take action in all aspects. They collected the sins of the nobles, made them public, and then planned parades and parades. Protest, in response to the appeal of the people of Mondstadt, you sent those guilty nobles to the gallows one by one. 】
[In less than half a year, the strength of the aristocratic system gradually collapsed. As the big nobles fell one after another, their properties were confiscated and used to build Mondstadt. 】
[Mondstadt begins to enter a new era. 】
[But soon, you discovered a problem that cannot be ignored. 】
[The people who obtained assets were released from long-term oppression. They began to propose to the Knights to fight for their own interests, but this fight was more like asking for more. They wanted more, wealth and freedom. 】
[Rich businessmen were given the opportunity. Without the restrictions of the nobility, they used more clever ways to accumulate wealth. They no longer had to distribute the wealth they gained violently to the nobility. 】
[You find that greed has not disappeared, it has just been transferred from the nobles to the common people. 】
[There are more and more people calling for freedom. They are trying to get the Knights to abolish certain laws. You stand on the roof of the Knights and look down. Many people appear at the gate of the station. They are all here to make suggestions. 】
[You suddenly think of the nobleman you killed with your own hands a month ago. He maintained proud etiquette in the end, and cursed you that sooner or later you would suffer retribution. 】
[This is not retribution, you know, this is some kind of inferiority that exists deep in the human mind. The longer it is suppressed, the more severe it will explode. You need to find a way to correctly guide this desire, whether it is with kindness, goodness, or even brutality. ]
[At the age of 28, with your efforts, the situation has improved significantly. The Knights are in the light, and the Earth Fire is in the dark. You control the entire Mondstadt and become the true king of Mondstadt. ]
[You know, this world cannot be only bright. As long as you can achieve your goal, you don’t mind using some special means for this. ]
[People are dying every day, but everything in Mondstadt is getting better. ]
[Those greedy people dare not speak because of fear, and the merchants have restrained their tempers. The people want freedom, so you give them freedom, but freedom must comply with the scope of the laws you set, otherwise they will be punished. ]
