Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Ms. Rosalia? What are you doing..." Kailin asked in confusion.

"My Lord has asked me to come and receive you all," Rosalia said calmly. "My Lord has guessed that you all will come today, so he asked me to wait here."

"I see……"

"In that case, please lead the way." Zhao Heng said calmly from the side.

"Okay, everyone, please follow me." Rosalia nodded, turned around and led everyone into the castle.

Stepping into the castle again, the corridors were still filled with sentries, even more murderous than before.

Walking in the corridor, the eyes of passers-by were all focused on this side, and some people had even pulled their knives out of the handles, which made people feel the pressure doubled from time to time.

When she walked to the office, the door was open. Inside, two men in aristocratic costumes stood in front of Li Xueqi. They had serious expressions, as if they had just reported something.

"Has he been buried?" Li Xueqi asked calmly with her back to the two of them.

"Hmm." The two nobles murmured in response without making any extra reply.

"Really?" Li Xueqi sighed. "He's been with me for hundreds of years, and he's always been loyal to me. I never thought he would do this..."

"Sir." At this moment, Rosalia's appearance broke the sad atmosphere. "The guests have arrived."

"Oh, really?" Hearing this, Li Xueqi turned around immediately. She quickly adjusted her mood and smiled, "Then bring them in."

Everyone walked into the office. At this time, Li Xueqi winked at the two nobles next to her. The two of them bowed and left.

Then she looked at Rosalia and said, "Rosa, you go down too."

"Yes, my lord."

After she finished speaking, Rosalia left the office and closed the door behind her.

At this moment, Kailin was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Were you talking about Eric just now?"

Li Xueqi nodded and smiled, "Yes, he was buried this morning. He was my contractor and my subordinate, so he should have been treated better, but..."

At this point, the atmosphere became sad again.

Seeing Li Xueqi's sad expression, Kailin was silent for a moment and then comforted her: "Don't be sad. The dead cannot be resurrected, not to mention that the thing has already happened."

Li Xueqi smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, that's right. Let's not think about it anymore and talk about business. I already know the purpose of your visit. It's about the Sanu people, right?"

"Huh? You know everything." Karen was obviously stunned.

"Of course. I said that I have eyes and ears everywhere in the city, and I also saw what happened in the inn this morning. Do you want to say that I was too extreme?" Li Xueqi said with her hands folded.

Kailin nodded and said, "It's hard not to think so. What on earth is the reason that makes you want to kill them all?"

"Because they deserve to die." Li Xueqi said with a smile in a calm tone.

"What?" Kailin was shocked.

"I don't blame you. After all, you're from outside and don't understand the situation here. Well, let me start from the beginning." Li Xueqi sighed, lowered her hands, and continued, "You came from the Black Territory, and you must have heard the story about Wolf King Andrius on the way."

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other and nodded in confusion.

"Indeed."

Li Xueqi nodded and smiled, "Okay, that makes it much easier to explain."

She was silent for a moment, then pondered, "Legend has it that thousands of years ago, at the end of the Cold Wave, Teyvat was torn apart by war, and its people fled everywhere. The Sanu were among them. Back then, they were no longer called Sanu, but Satai."

"Satai people?" Zixuan was stunned.

In the Black Domain, Yaohui also said that it was the Satai people who designed to lure Andrius into the valley and ambush and kill him. Although there is only one letter difference, no one expected that the two were actually the same race.

"Indeed, during that era of chaotic order, the Satai people fled to the then-Black Territory—Taan. Lord Andreus, out of kindness, took them in. However, instead of showing gratitude to the Wolf King, the Satai people resorted to various means to seize his territory. Finally, they waited for this opportunity."

As the war spread, the Wolf King went through dozens of battles to protect Taan. In the continuous battles, his strength was gradually weakened. After repelling the powerful enemy, he fell into a weak period. At this time, the Satai people set up a plan, lured him into the valley and set a trap to kill him.

After the Wolf Valley incident, the Satais naturally occupied the Wolf King's territory. They built their own country in Ta'an, and the indigenous people there became their slaves. However, things did not go as planned. Not long after, the flames of war spread to Ta'an again. In this way, the city-state that the Satais had just established was once again burned to ashes in the flames.

They went into exile again, and gradually they came to Aixiou, which is now Akagi.

"Aixio?" Mo Yan was stunned again.

Isn’t this the place mentioned by the man in the dream?

"Oh? Have you heard of it?" Li Xueqi asked.

Mo Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Maybe. It just sounds a little familiar. So what then?"

Li Xueqi continued, "As a lesson learned from the past, no one in Aixiou dared to take them in. Everyone was afraid that their homeland would one day become like Taan, so they began frantically driving away the Satai people living on the streets."

At that time, the Satans pretended to be weak, innocent and homeless, begging people for help and gaining the sympathy of King Aixi. The king had no choice but to take them in out of kindness.

But you must know that the Satanists will not be satisfied with the status quo. They are a group of wild wolves that can never be fed. When they are in trouble, they will pretend to be innocent and beg for help from others. When they are fully grown, all the kindness bestowed on them will instantly turn into sharp blades that pierce your heart.

This is also their nature. In the eyes of people in today's world, they are like a group of termites. No, in fact, termites are much cuter than them.

As expected, after gathering their strength, they began to erode Ishio's regime bit by bit from within again. By the time Ishio's king realized what was happening, it was too late. The king's power was in disarray, and Ishio's army that resisted foreign enemies was completely annihilated by their erosion.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Li Xueqi said that they deserved to die. When their city-state was invaded by foreign enemies, who could endure the humiliation?

"What happens after that? Is there no other way?" Karen asked anxiously.

"That was indeed the case at the time, until a stranger showed up."

"Stranger?"

"That's right, we all call him Hero Shang Zhen."
