Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

Everyone left the room, and Paimon looked at Wendy with some confusion.

"Wendy, that person just said that the Queen doesn't care about them and their family is starving to death. What's going on? Su Mo just shut him up without asking. Do you know what's going on?"

Wendy pondered for a moment, then replied, "It might have something to do with their geographical location and the political situation in their country."

"Geographical location and political situation?" Paimon repeated, puzzled. "Will these factors cause people to starve?"

At this point, Qin added, "Geographical location determines the types and yields of crops, while the political situation affects people's quality of life. Even if there is sufficient food, if it is controlled by the upper class, people's lives will still be very difficult."

Wendy nodded.

"As expected of the acting leader of the Knights Templar, you have put in a lot of effort in this area." Wendy nodded and continued.

"Of the Seven Kingdoms, Solstice is located in the far north. Due to its geographical location, it is the coldest place in the Seven Kingdoms, with severe cold and heavy snowfall year-round. These blizzards gradually turn the land into frozen ground, making it difficult to reclaim, making it a complete wasteland for growing food."

"So, unlike other nations, the Winters don't rely on grain, only bread and milk. Even so, food is scarce, and the upper echelons strictly control it. This was slightly better before. Then, after the first Ice God fell in the war, and the second Ice God ascended to power, for some reason, the blizzards seemed to become even more intense, and the people naturally couldn't survive."

"I guess joining the army will bring you a good income. Otherwise, who would be willing to abandon their families and go here? After all, we are all people who are trying hard to survive." Wendy sighed.

"They are really pitiful then."

"But that's not a reason for them to do bad things at will!" Diluk said coldly.

"Ah, you really don't know how to read the atmosphere." Paimon complained.

"I'm telling the truth!" Diluk insisted, then quickened his pace and walked forward.

Paimon looked at Diluk's back with some anger.

"This guy is really emotionally indifferent."

"By the way, why does Diluc hate the Fatui so much? I feel like he loses his composure whenever they're mentioned. Wendy, do you know?"

When Wendy heard this, she looked at Qin and saw that she seemed a little embarrassed.

Jean naturally noticed this and said, "Sir Wendy, if you know anything, please share it with everyone. Honestly, I'm also a little curious about why Senior Diluc went from being such an enthusiastic person to being like this."

Paimon asked in surprise: "Huh? Was Diluk a passionate person before? I can't tell."

Jean nodded. "Originally, Diluc was a member of the Knights, optimistic about life, and very friendly and enthusiastic. But one day, for unknown reasons, he voluntarily resigned from the order, and he's become what he is now."

"Ah, I see. What on earth did you go through to become like this?"

"Wendy, do you know something? If you do, tell me."

Wendy looked at everyone's expectant eyes, couldn't help but sigh, and gave Qin a complicated look.

"What I'm going to say next may be a little difficult for you to accept. I hope you can face it calmly."

Qin nodded. She thought she had a good mental state.

Wendy then asked, "Jin, what kind of organization do you think the Knights are?"

Qin was stunned for a moment, then said the answer that she had already memorized.

"Of course, this organization was established to better protect Mondstadt and serve the people of Mondstadt. From Vanessa to the previous leaders and everyone now, they are all working towards this goal."

"I see... That's truly a great ambition."

"Do you know the dragon Durin?"

"Dulin? The one who fought Tevarin?"

"Yes, that's it."

"But does this have anything to do with Diluk becoming what he is now?"

"Of course, don't worry and let me explain it slowly."

Then Wendy began his story

"Diluc was originally born into a noble family. His father was also a famous merchant. Although a merchant, he also had a dream of becoming a knight. Later, under the instigation of others, his father obtained the Evil Eye."

"Evil eye?"

"Yes, this Evil Eye is different from the Eye of God. The Eye of God is granted, and the user does not suffer any harm when using it. The Evil Eye, on the other hand, is a weapon of war developed by the Fatui. It is a way to use elemental power at the cost of human life."

"That's a really scary thing."

Diluk's father discovered the hidden power after trying it, believing it to be an evil force and not using it any further. But because he was more devoted to his dream, he was reluctant to give it up.

"Later, the dragon Durin invaded Mondstadt. Diluc's father and Diluc were out on business at the time. On their way back, they were attacked by the dragon. Even though Diluc had the Eye of God by then, he was still no match for the dragon."

"Finally, Diluc's father used the Evil Eye to repel the dragon Durin at the cost of his own life, protecting Diluc."

"Immersed in sadness and confusion, Diluc returned to the Knights of Favonius, but received an order from his superiors, "The truth must be covered up." The reason was that in order to maintain the reputation of the Knights, his father's death must be publicized as an "unfortunate accident."

"After hearing this ridiculous order, Diluc didn't even bother to argue. As a result, his Eye of God was confiscated by the Knights, and he himself withdrew from the Knights, becoming prejudiced against it."

"To investigate the truth behind his father's death, Diluc abandoned his knighthood and the Eye of God. He entrusted the winery work to the head maid and left Mondstadt alone. Traveling through the Seven Kingdoms, he gradually approached the secret he had been pursuing. All clues point to the Fatui," Wendy said, a little puzzled and teasing.

"But later I heard that Diluk was quite powerful. He destroyed several Fatui hideouts in a row, forcing all eleven Fatui officers to take action, but he still managed to come back unscathed. That's quite remarkable."

"Ah? Diluk forced all eleven Fatui executives to take action?" Paimon said in surprise, and then didn't care.

"Oh my goodness, what a terrible officer this is. Eleven men can't beat one. So that lady is just a paper tiger, too."

Upon hearing this, Venti shook her head and denied it. "That's not true. The claim that the top three possessed divine power wasn't exaggerated. If they attacked together, Diluk would have been mortal. I think they only attacked the weakest of them. To say they couldn't defeat him even with all eleven of them is a bit of an exaggeration. However, those things are true."

"Oh, I see. I was wondering why Diluc was so rude to the Knights. So, the Fatui are truly despicable."

"Paimon, you just said they were pitiful." Ying complained.

Paimon was a little embarrassed: "Ah? Really? I don't know. Pity is true, hateful is true, they are different things. But Diluk is right, pity is not a reason to do bad things, I agree with this. However, how did Diluk survive? I am a little curious about this." Paimon said and chased Diluk in the distance.
