Chapter 22 The Waves No Longer Return to the Sea
Mond
Knights of the West Wind
"Honorary Knight, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here. To make a long story short, the Knights have a special favor to ask of you. Recently, I have received reports from many members of the Knights, saying that the Lawrence family has close contacts with the Fatui."
Upon hearing the word "Faint", Paimon showed an angry look on his face, but who is this Lawrence family?
Jyn explained: "In the past, Mondstadt went through a dark period ruled by the old nobles. The freedom that was taken back from the lonely king of the tower was shackled again, and slavery was rampant."
"The first generation of [Dandelion Knight] Vanessa led the revolution, overthrew the rule of the old nobles, and established the Knights of Favonius. That's how Mondstadt became what it is today. The old nobles who brought suffering to Mondstadt back then were the Lawrence family."
Paimon also understood that this group of people colluded with the Fatui and started doing bad things.
Qin shook her head. It was just a suspicion at the moment and there was no solid evidence, so she called the Honorary Knight over to help investigate.
Ying asked curiously, "Why me? This is the job of the Knights."
Qin looked worried and sighed, "Because in the past, the old nobles and the Knights have always been hostile to each other. The Knights spent a long time trying to resolve the conflict between the two sides. But the descendants of the nobles are still very hostile to the Knights... No matter what attitude we use to approach them, there will be no good results, and they will often overreact."
“Although we can directly go to their homes in the name of [investigation], if we end up wrongly accusing them, it will definitely greatly increase their distrust. A lot of previous efforts will be wasted.”
Ying murmured, "But I am also a [Honorary Knight]..."
Jean: "You are already the most suitable person to represent the Knights. You don't need to emphasize this identity. You have traveled here from afar and are not the majority of this city. You can use this angle to find common ground with the noble. After establishing a friendship with him, you should be able to learn something about the Fatui."
[Ying: Painful memories. That guy refused to give in. Why was I so stunned at that time? I could have asked Lisa for help.]
[Lisa: My dear, I am just a librarian. It is really rude to use violence. I am a lady.]
[Kujo Sara: I remember the little girl from the Knights, she seemed to be from the Lawrence family]
[Amber: Eula is different from those guys! Although Eula was born in the Lawrence family, she never showed that kind of superior attitude. She always helped other people in Mondstadt and kept guarding them silently.]
[Eula: That’s right, I am from the Lawrence family. There is no need to deny this.]
[Nilu: Miss Eula is really easy to get along with. As long as you can get used to her words, you can become good friends.]
[Paimon: Those evil people are not worthy of the surname Lawrence. Lawrence initially rebelled together with Wendy, but later on that group of nobles tarnished the name of Lawrence. Eula is the one who truly inherited the spirit of Lawrence.]
[Mona: Wave Knight—Eula Lawrence, extends sincere greetings to everyone]
[Eula: You dare to imitate my speech? I will remember this! ]
...
Ying followed Qin's instructions and met a sneaky person.
Paimon's polite greeting was met with rude words, as if he were a servant.
"Rude and frivolous, you actually came up to me and said hello so casually. You are indeed an ignorant outsider who doesn't even recognize me. I am Schubert Lawrence, a genuine descendant of the nobility."
"If you want to greet me, you should pay attention to your choice of words. Such casual and lazy words are simply unbearable to hear. If you understand what I said, you should kneel on one knee now and humbly introduce yourself and apologize. This is in line with standard etiquette!"
Paimeng was shocked. He had never heard of so many etiquettes.
Schubert snorted coldly and said, "In that era when everyone respected etiquette, this basic etiquette was common sense when meeting nobles! If you neglected the etiquette of the nobles, you would at least be caned. Look at the world today. The rules are abolished, etiquette is forgotten, and it is so corrupt that it is unbearable to look at."
[Arakaki Ichito: Oh, I have such a bad temper. Can you convince me with some reason?]
[Xiao Palace: It is understandable why the Lawrence family declined]
[Keli: I don't understand what they are saying, why don't you just say it directly? ]
[Schubert Lawrence: This is the etiquette of the nobility, what do you, a child, know? ]
[Kaia: I allow you to rethink what you should say]
[Alice: I remember this old guy was locked up, right? Now he's still alive and kicking. It seems the punishment wasn't strong enough.]
[Ying: Now I remember, this guy was pointing at me, and then I got so angry that I beat him up]
[Amber: Schubert, put away your condescending attitude. You have destroyed all of Eula's efforts over the years.]
[Wulang: There is an old saying in Liyue: Wei Junjie is the one who knows the current situation! ]
【Xiangling: He who knows the current situation is a hero! 】
...
Ying shook her head. These broken rules were really troublesome. No wonder the old aristocracy had fallen into decline.
Hearing this, Schubert pointed at Ying and asked, "What did you say? Are you questioning the dignity of the old nobility? I tell you, although the Lawrence family has fallen, our descendants have always been looking for opportunities to regain glory. The more lax the people around me are, the more I must insist on the elegance and courtesy of the nobility. After all, we are completely different from the moment we were born."
Ying was speechless. She hadn't even started talking yet, so why don't you give me a chance to speak?
"Stop talking. Your words and actions annoy me. I have nothing to say to a commoner like you. Besides, I have no obligation to tell you how to be polite. I have something important to do. I'm leaving now."
Seeing him walk away, Paimon grumbled helplessly, "In Captain Jean's opinion, this kind of person is just [not easy to get along with]? Well, let's go back and discuss it with her."
...
The Knights Gate
The little angel Amber saw the blonde traveler and her floating object and greeted her, "Isn't this the [Honorary Knight]? I was just planning to go on a scouting trip, but I didn't expect to run into you here! Eh? Judging from your expression, did you encounter something unhappy?"
Paimon told Amber about Jean's commission and Schubert Lawrence.
"I know this person! He must have said that you are impolite."
When Ying saw Amber's perception, she knew that she was also deeply affected by it and was a poor person.
"Haha, I've also been told several times that the Lawrence family has some weird rules. They think that nobles should be reserved. In my opinion... well, I can understand it, but I always feel that they don't belong to this era."
"However, there is a very special case in their family, that is my good friend, Eula! She is from the Lawrence family, but she is also the captain of the fourth team of the Knights."
Ying was a little puzzled. Qin said, the Lawrence family regarded the Knights as their enemy, so how could Eula still join the Knights?
Amber explained: "Because Eula is a special person. She is different from the rest of the family and has her own ideas and ways of doing things. In other words, she doesn't take the rules of the family to heart. However, she knows very well how to deal with the Lawrence family. You only need to meet her once, and you will understand what I mean."
Paimon was a little curious. Since Eula was from the Lawrence family, why would Captain Jean look for himself and the Traveler instead of looking for Eula directly?
Amber hesitated and said, "This is a bit difficult to explain. Simply put, because Eula joined the Knights, the other people in her family don't like her very much... In their eyes, Eula is like a traitor who surrendered to the enemy."
"But she is actually very easy to get along with. As long as you tell her your troubles, she will definitely teach you how to deal with Schubert."
"She seems to have gone out on patrol this morning. You should be able to find her near the Lookout Mountain. I wish you all the best! I'm about to set out on a reconnaissance as well!"
