Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Knowing that he cannot change the current situation, he can only numb himself with wine and the joy of the dueling arena every day, watching himself slowly degenerate.

One day, Erberhardt came to the tavern as usual, but this time, he heard a different sound.

They were a wandering band, swordsmen, musicians and conductors. There was another one from the Lawrence family. If Chen Yue was there, he would have recognized him at a glance. He was Youla's ancestor.

The wandering band sang praises of Mondstadt's ancient struggle for freedom and shouted in the tavern, trying to awaken people's minds.

"The corrupt aristocracy should not rule over the capital of freedom." "Truth does not lie in the hands of the majority."

However, the shackles of fear had already imprisoned their desire for freedom. The frightened civilians fled the bar one after another, causing quite a commotion.

Looking at the chaotic bar, the bands' behavior seemed so ridiculous, so immature, and so insignificant.

"Do you think this can awaken the resistance in the blood of the Mond people?" said Eberhardt, who was drunk and unconscious, as he stood up staggeringly.

The four members of the orchestra were suddenly speechless, and the pianist among them even tightly grasped the strings in his hands.

He once promised a civilian girl that he would not let him become the "badminton" in the badminton festival. But now it seems so ridiculous.

Although the four members of the band were unwilling to accept the situation, they were powerless to do anything about it.

"Waking up a few sober people will only make their lives more painful. Rather than letting them endure irreparable pain, it is better to let them die slowly in peace."

"Do you still think you are doing a good thing now?"

This sentence is Erberhardt's question to the orchestra, but it is also a question to himself.

Answers that cannot be obtained, endings that cannot be changed, cages that cannot be broken, fates that cannot be broken.

Looking at Chen Yue who was smiling at him, Eberhart was a little at a loss.

After a long time, Chen Yue recovered and said to Eberhart, "Eberhart, right? It's not easy for a noble's illegitimate son to achieve this!"

When he heard the other party calling out his name and identity, the drunk Eberhardt immediately woke up.

He would never allow anyone else living to know that he was a noble illegitimate child.

Seeing the other party's eyes gradually becoming colder, Chen Yue calmly sat aside and waved to Eberhart, motioning him to come over.

After both of them sat down, Eberhardt spoke first, "Foreign traveler, who are you? How do you know my background?"

Chen Yue did not respond to Erberhart.

He asked back after taking a sip of dandelion wine.

"What do you think is missing in Mond today?"

"Who are you?" Erberhart asked impatiently.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

"Since you refuse to answer my question, I will tell you. What the Mond people lack is the pursuit of freedom and the resistance to power. After thousands of years, the heart that symbolizes freedom has long been blocked by fear."

"The reason why the Lone King's tower could be overthrown was because all Mondstadt people were united in their pursuit of freedom."

"Today, the tower still stands on the square. If we want to overthrow it again, we must awaken the desire for freedom in people's hearts and break the shackles that bind people's yearning for freedom."

Erberhardt thought back to the old poetry, which was a paean to human courage.

Once upon a time, the people of Mond lost their desire for freedom.

Even the weakest people dared to rebel against the Tower, but what about the people of Mondstadt today? They only dared to numb themselves with wine and act timidly.

The eyes that had been dead for so many years finally glowed with their former brilliance at this moment.

"But the problem now is, how easy is it to expect people to wake up?" asked Eberhart after he woke up.

"I have my own way of doing this. Oh, of course, I want to meet someone and need your help."

"who?"

"A red-haired gladiator named Vanessa."

"Oh, is it her?"

Eberhart was a little surprised. He had also heard about Vanessa, because she wanted to protect the tribesmen behind her and not leave alone.

"Call the four members of the band tomorrow. I need them. Also, prevent the Badminton Festival in ten months."

Compared to awakening the Mond people, interrupting the Badminton Festival is relatively simple. With Eberhardt's status and position, this civilian activity can be suspended at any time.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. With your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange for a few more people to be in the tavern."

Hearing this, Eberhardt swallowed his saliva. Judging from this man's behavior, it seemed that he was going to make a big move.

"Now can you tell me who you are?" asked Erberhart.

"I'm just a Liyue person." Chen Yue spread his hands and said indifferently.

……

The next night.

There were an unusually large number of people in the tavern that day, which was of course all thanks to Erberhardt and the orchestra.

At this time, Chen Yue, who was standing behind the stage, tidied his hairstyle a little and looked at Eberhardt and the orchestra.

"There will be more such things in the future. I hope you can record them. Perhaps this will be a revolution."

After saying this, Chen Yue walked up to the podium.

Looking at the people drinking below, Chen Yue cleared his throat slightly and said.

"I have heard a story, a story about the Holy Grail. This Holy Grail has a holy history. Mondstadt also has a holy history."

"But we are facing difficult times. Our Mondstadt has been destroyed. The Grunhildr family is about to fall apart. Our lives are being trampled upon."

“But our problem is not poverty or weakness, but indifference.”

Looking at the people still drinking in the audience, Chen Yue shouted angrily: "Are any of you listening?"

At this time, the people in the audience put down their wine glasses and looked at Chen Yue.

"That's right, no one cares." Chen Yue said, spreading his hands.

"This is not a problem that has only arisen now. This has always been a problem. No one thought that we would face destruction. Our enemies are among us."

"I'm not talking about the North Wind Wolf King, nor other countries, but the Lawrence family that is ruling us."

"Those Lawrence family toppled the statue of the god of wind, destroyed our homes, and robbed us of our freedom, property, and even our families."

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Chen Yue smiled. Then he picked up a lucky guy who was still drinking.

"Tell me loudly, what is your name?"

"me…"

Because it happened so suddenly, the lucky guy who was picked up was still quite confused.

"You are an alcoholic who only uses low-quality alcohol to numb your nerves. Now, the knife is on your neck, but you still have the leisure to drink here."

"I, I'm not..."

"No, you are just a complete waste. If you want to prove yourself, then prove it with actual actions, prove it to the great Lord Barbatos."
