Chapter 44: Venti's Political Insight
The situation in Mondstadt was very special. Originally, Mu Yang thought that if Mondstadt were to reform, the trouble encountered would be much harder than in Does Does Liyue.
After all, Mondstadt was full of giant babies!
But because of the Lawrence Clan's affair in the past, Mondstadt had already undergone a round of reforms!
Whether it was the Church of Favonius or the Knights of Favonius, they were actually preventing the emergence of the next Lawrence Clan.
With the power Jean could borrow on hand, as long as Jean didn't carry out large-scale reforms, plus the fact that Grand Master Varka had taken away a large number of knights, there was also the consideration of letting Jean take over, so Jean currently had almost no obstacles.
If one were to indulge in conspiracy theories, was Eroch deliberately driving Diluc out of the Knights of Favonius so that Jean could take the position?
After all, Diluc was the youngest Captain in the history of the Knights of Favonius at that time!
If one were to really talk about it, the biggest obstacle now wasn't what obstacles Jean would encounter, but rather whether Jean would do so.
Jean only had the determination of a knight, but not the consciousness of wanting to become a king!
Letting Jean be a second-in-command, Jean was absolutely fine, but the current Jean was not mature enough and was a bit too indecisive.
Would she grow through this incident?
Mu Yang looked at the location of Jean and Venti outside the city.
And as for Barbara, singing was the most healing thing for people's hearts!!
At this moment, Mu Yang began to teach Barbara songs from Blue Star.
……………………………………………………
In the evening, just as Mu Yang was preparing to go to sleep early, a breeze blew by, and Venti's figure appeared on the sofa not far from Mu Yang. He held a bottle of wine in his hand and said: "My friend, this time, I've brought fine wine!"
"Do you want to taste the fine wine I buried before I fell into a deep sleep?"
Wine from hundreds of years ago?
If it were before he transmigrated, Mu Yang would worry about whether this would cause a stomachache, but if it were wine brought out by Venti, it seemed worth looking forward to!
Mu Yang found wine glasses in the kitchen and placed them in front of the two, asking Venti: "How does it feel?"
"Very good. Jean is a very smart person; she should have guessed my identity."
"Knowing that I don't want to be exposed, we both maintain a tacit understanding!" Venti poured a glass of wine for each of them, took a happy sip, and then said.
"But do you think she is really suitable to lead Mondstadt forward?" Mu Yang also learned to take a sip. It had to be said, the taste was really quite good, much better than the Wuliangye and Moutai he had drunk in his previous life.
It had to be said, as expected of the land of wine!
If ordinary wine was this delicious, then Mu Yang could understand why the people of Mondstadt liked wine so much!
"What's wrong? Do you have other views?" Venti tilted his head and asked Mu Yang.
He himself was very optimistic about Jean. The Thousand Winds had told him about Jean, and Venti knew almost everything this girl had experienced since she was a child.
Venti felt that no one was more suitable for the current Mondstadt than Jean!
Just like Vennessa back then, with Jean around, Mondstadt wouldn't need him to worry for the next few decades; it was simply too great!
"You yourself should have seen that Mondstadt actually still has quite a few drawbacks!"
"Quite a few families are also colluding with the Fatui; back then, that part of Mondstadt became a new recruit camp for the Fatui!" When Mu Yang said this, Venti's face became visibly dark.
This matter indeed made Venti very concerned. Yes, it was true that he had fallen into a deep sleep, but if something major really happened, he would naturally wake up directly.
As for the battle with the Cryo Archon, hehe, did they really think he, Barbatos, was made of mud?
As long as the Cryo Archon didn't have a problem with her brain, she wouldn't make such a decision, and besides, their relationship was actually quite good!
In secret, Venti had previously decided to support the Cryo Archon's plan.
But some people in the Fatui were a bit too arrogant, and there seemed to be too many traitors within Mondstadt. In Venti's view, that was absolutely a great humiliation.
"If it were in peacetime, no one would be more suitable to be the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius than Jean, but if reforms were to be carried out, I would be more optimistic about Diluc. Let him become the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and Jean become the Acting Grand Master to assist Diluc!" Mu Yang stared at Venti and suggested.
This was also Mu Yang's greatest realization after touring Mondstadt this day.
Of course, he didn't have any prejudice against Jean; after all, Jean was still his "wife."
Mu Yang himself also really wanted to buy in.
Venti shook his head slightly when he heard Mu Yang mention Diluc: "Diluc?
I admit he is a good person. If it really reached the point where the country was about to be destroyed, he would be a leader capable of turning the tide."
"But the current Mondstadt needs a leader like Jean, who is like an idol in the hearts of countless people."
"People's recognition of Diluc is not as high as it is for Jean, even if Diluc is very excellent, and in some aspects, even more excellent than Jean."
"But it is precisely because of his excellence that he cannot mingle with the people of Mondstadt."
"If Diluc were to become the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius and carry out reforms, he might be much more radical than Jean. Things that could have been handled well would also become complicated!"
After a pause, Venti continued: "Of course, I actually have a better position waiting for Diluc here!"
"Oh?" Mu Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at Venti curiously. Could it be that he wanted to portray Diluc as Barbatos's wine supplier and make him a red-topped merchant?
"The Church of Favonius has a special agency for monitoring and capturing traitors. How about letting Diluc serve as the leader of this agency?" Venti sighed as he said this: "It's just that his relationship with some intelligence agencies in the North is too close."
"I don't think he would betray Mondstadt, but it's hard to guarantee that others won't make an issue of it, so I'm still hesitating."
"I can't just show up and push Diluc into this position, right?"
Mu Yang was silent for a while upon hearing this. At this moment, he also fully realized the difference between Venti and Regarding Regarding Zhongli.
Regarding these matters, if Regarding Regarding Zhongli felt it was appropriate, after investigating, he would arrange it directly!
But Venti pushed the other party to move in a certain direction, letting them become what he expected step by step. Vennessa was like this back then, and Jean was like this now.
Of course, Venti wasn't calculating them, but hoping they would obtain it through their own efforts.
Then what about places like Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine?
Ei seemed to be a monarch-offline system, and the suffering in Inazuma was still caused by her.
In Sumeru, Nahida was still trapped.
The best one was Furina, who had a Neuvillette-Zhuge-Light, such a foster father, so Furina was indeed very relaxed. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
