Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

In contrast, the noble group has not received any further news since being imprisoned, which has aroused dissatisfaction among many Mondstadt citizens. They worry that the Knights' actions will ultimately be all bark and no bite, and that after being imprisoned for a few days, they will still be nobles when they come out.

"What exactly is Commander Qin waiting for? Didn't you say the evidence was conclusive?"

"Sigh~ Will it be the same as before? Aristocratic privileges, huh?"

"Hmph! The Lawrence family, as one of the representatives of the old aristocracy, committed such a big crime, yet they still managed to survive. I think most of these other aristocrats will be in a similar situation."

"The leader of the harem is also a noblewoman; she is from Gunnhildr."

"I don't believe it. It was Commander Qin who led the arrest."

"Heh~ They deliberately grabbed someone to gain support, secured their position as acting leader, and then ignored them. Can't you see that?"

"I don't think the ensemble leader would do that, right? She even helped me find a cat..."

The sounds within Mondstadt were neither particularly loud nor particularly quiet.

However, for the Knights, who were in a special situation, even the slightest trouble would bring huge problems. The Knights had already suffered heavy losses and could not withstand any more setbacks.

"It's quite loud outside."

Inside the office.

Su Chen picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip.

“I know,” Qin said, looking up from the documents, “but it’s not the right time yet.”

"Is it not the right time, or is it because of numerous difficulties?"

Jean didn't speak. In fact, recently, nobles had been coming to visit Gunnhild so often that they were practically wearing down the door. Under pressure, her family also urged Jean to reconsider.

This is the largest noble event in Mondstadt's history. Even during the dark ages of the old noble rule, when Vanessa and her people overthrew the nobles, not as many nobles were punished as they are now.

"Su Chen... I'm sorry, I really haven't made up my mind yet, even though you had already thought of a solution for me." Qin said apologetically.

Su Chen chuckled: "That's only natural. No matter how much you reduce the risk, there will still be risks. I understand."

"Thank you."

Qin was very fortunate; if Su Chen hadn't been his assistant, the situation would probably still be a mess.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside.

"Principal Qin! Something terrible has happened!!!"

A knight rushed in, looking panicked.

"Master Qin, those nobles...the nobles...they're all dead!!!"

...

When Qin arrived at the prison, she saw a scene of utter carnage—all the imprisoned nobles had collectively banged their heads against the wall, leaving them bloodied and mangled.

Moreover, each prison contained a 'last letter' from the imprisoned nobleman, in which he described his crimes in poignant words and expressed deep remorse.

The gist of it is: I was wrong, I am unworthy of the title of 'noble', I don't know what I can do to make amends, so I can only atone with my death, hoping to gain the forgiveness of the wind god Barbatos.

Although the scene was set up very realistically, anyone who isn't stupid can see the clues.

Those nobles are all cowards who fear death. You want them to commit suicide to atone for their sins?

One of them was an accident, but now everyone's hitting a wall, it's just too unbelievable.

But ordinary people didn't care about any of that; soon after it happened, almost everyone in Mondstadt knew about it.

“As if!”

"The troupe leader has actually made up her mind."

"Didn't they say it was ordered by the ensemble leader?"

"Foolish! The prison is so heavily guarded. Who else but Master Qin could kill all the nobles under these circumstances?"

The nobles were all under guard. Even though a large number of people were sent out to exterminate the monsters, it seemed that there was no other possibility than killing everyone silently, except for those within the Knights Order.

In the blink of an eye, those who were still questioning the piano immediately turned into loyal fans.

Public opinion is like grass on a wall; which way it leans depends on which side of the wind is stronger.

Keqin couldn't be happy at all.

Just like I told Su Chen before, using violence to punish evil will only breed greater evil.

Without proper procedures, trials can lead to lawlessness and disorder.

Qin immediately thought of the Earth Fire, because only the Earth Fire would do such a thing.

Moreover, the members of the Earthfire are very likely within the Knights Order.

"Commander Qin, this is the list of personnel on duty at the prison today." A knight handed the information to Qin.

Qin held the list without opening it, then suddenly asked, "Where's Su Chen?"

The knight was taken aback, then shook his head: "Mr. Su Chen didn't come this afternoon."

"I see, you go down."

After the knight left, Jean held the documents, remained silent for a long time, and ultimately did not open them.

With a sigh, she tore the documents to shreds and threw them into the trash can beside her.

...

Ding! —

Ding! —

Ding! —

As evening fell, the church bells rang out, creating ripples in the air.

Su Chen sat on the bench at the very front. Hearing the bell, he prepared to stand up and end the prayer.

A figure suddenly sat down next to him.

"Hey~ you lost lamb, interested in hearing a story? Just pay me a cup of dandelion liqueur and you can hear an epic masterpiece! How about it? How about it? What do you say?"

The boy in green asked enthusiastically.

Chapter 31 Wendy: Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in the sky.

Su Chen, who was about to get up, paused.

She looked at the boy beside her with some surprise.

"What's wrong? Can't you even afford a glass of wine? That's an absolutely epic masterpiece, I guarantee it!"

"No...where did you come from?"

"Haha~ Bards are of course everywhere, otherwise how could they bring surprises to everyone? Don't worry about these details, Lord Su Chen."

"you know me?"

"Of course, who in Mondstadt doesn't know the famous Lord Su Chen? You are now the man that Commander Qin trusts the most."

Wendy lies without batting an eye. He's been here for a long time and has seen Su Chen seemingly praying, but not to him.

If one prays for the protection of the wind god, Barbatosbens can sense it.

Su Chen did appear to be praying, though Wendy couldn't quite tell, but he guessed it was related to what was happening outside.

The mysterious deaths of numerous nobles, orchestrated by a trial known as the Earth Fire, are something that some can discern.

The familiarity he felt from Su Chen puzzled Wendy. Although he was almost certain that Su Chen was the human who helped Dvalin back then, how could he have disappeared for five hundred years and then reappeared?

Rosalind: Barbatos, why?!

Wendy: Go ask Barbatos, I don't know either.

“You’re right,” Su Chen nodded. “But I’m not really interested in stories. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

"Hey! Free! Free!"

Wendy was surprised that Su Chen was so 'stingy'.

Hey, you can't even afford a glass of wine?

"Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in the sky... no, not that one."

Wendy chattered away beside Su Chen as they walked out of the church and into Mondstadt.

Suddenly, the bard trotted to the statue of the wind god and began to play his harp. The beautiful melody immediately attracted passersby.

He glanced at Su Chen, then quickly got into storytelling mode.

"What I want to talk about is a great leader who started from humble beginnings but was gifted as a child... It was a place protected by the wind, where people followed the wind's path, developed civilization, spread the seeds of civilization, and explored the unknown."

"Through his own efforts, the young wolf cub successfully became one of the forces protecting the country. However, he soon discovered that peace was merely a facade, and danger came not only from the outside but also from the internal corruption and human greed, which saddened the boy. Thus, he resolved to change everything..."

As Wendy continued her storytelling, more and more people gathered around to enjoy the captivating tales once again told by the young bard.

"It's that drunkard again."

Su Chen heard voices from the crowd.

Clearly, Wendy is already 'famous' in this area.

“He must have drunk all his money away, so he came back again.”

"I saw him at Angel's Gift last time, haha~ Grandpa Diluc doesn't sell alcohol to him at all."

Shh~ Listen to a story, listen to a story.

"Huh? Didn't he tell this story before?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's the story of that misunderstood leader who walked alone in the darkness to protect the country, right?"

"That damn bard, he's trying to fool us with old stories. Let's go, let's not listen anymore."

"Don't rush, we'll listen, but we won't pay. It's just an old story he told us."

"Yes, this story sounds quite interesting."

Su Chen: "..."

There are 360 ​​professions, and none of them are easy.
