Chapter 306

~5 min read 870 words

Seeing the light screen move again, they hurriedly listened.

Light Screen.

Following Luo Chen continued to speak at this moment.

"Next is the second thing about the god who loves humanity—overthrowing the old aristocracy and reorganizing Mondstadt!"

"As we said before, Barbatos left to slack off after transforming Mondstadt and teaching the people wisdom."

"Since then, Mondstadt entered a realm of human rule where no one claimed to be king!"

"The people continuously reclaimed the land, and everything was developing in a good direction."

"Among them, the words and deeds of the nobles were the model for mortals."

"They never stinted on their wisdom and elegance."

"They would earnestly guide the people of Mondstadt."

"They would carry pocket watches with them, strict with themselves!"

"Every night, they would reflect on their words and deeds and think about the future of Mondstadt."

"This was the most free and prosperous era for Mondstadt!"

"It was also the ideal utopia in many people's hearts."

"However, as time passed, everything changed!"

"It's coming!"

Hearing this, Miss Keqing couldn't help but feel a jolt of spirit.

Previously, when the light screen reviewed her concept of "human rule," it had mentioned this period of Mondstadt.

It was said to be extremely dark.

But at the time, it was only briefly mentioned and not explained in detail.

Now, she could finally study it properly.

Of course, she no longer had the heart to continue "human rule" for the time being.

She just wanted to understand it.

Perhaps she could draw some experience from it.

At the same time, there was someone else who was just as concerned as Keqing.

That was Eula!

She stared at the light screen, her expression somewhat complex.

Unlike before.

Previously, the light screen only mentioned it in passing and didn't say much about the Lawrence Clan.

But this time, it looked like it was going to expose all the sins of the Lawrence Clan!

When that time comes...

"Hoo!"

After taking a deep breath, Eula's expression became firm.

"Expose it!"

"This is for the best!"

"Destruction before construction!"

"Only by daring to face one's past can one bravely look forward to the future!"

"Perhaps this is the opportunity for me to wash away the sins of the Lawrence Clan!"

Villa.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Following Luo Chen spoke up again.

"1,600 years after the founding of the new Mondstadt, which is 1,000 years ago from today, Mondstadt fell into shadow once again."

"But the culprit this time was not a god who loved humanity in a twisted way like the Decarabian,"

"but humanity itself!"

"Under the erosion of time, some old nobles had forgotten their original ideals."

"The nobles, led by the Lawrence Clan, began a time of extravagance and pleasure."

"They introduced slavery, tore down the statue of the Anemo Archon, and built high towers in the square."

"To show off their power!"

"As for the church..."

"It had long since colluded with the nobles!"

"The audience might not be very clear about this, so I'll give an example here, and you'll understand."

"Mondstadt has a festival called the Ludi Harpastum."

"This festival is held once a year to commemorate the Anemo Archon."

"At the climax of the celebration, the chosen girl would climb to a high place and throw down the harpastum."

"The first person to pick it up would receive a generous reward and the blessing of the Anemo Archon's luck for a year."

"However, during this period, this spot was occupied year-round by the young master of the Lawrence Clan."

"Besides that, the girls who threw the harpastum were already designated as young, beautiful girls."

"Every time the Ludi Harpastum ended, these girls would be taken to the palace."

"Externally, it was claimed that they were being protected by the nobles for three days, but in reality, they were ravaged for three days!"

"Regarding these things, you can go and read a novel called 'Mondstadt's Gao Ta'."

Hearing this, the people in the chat group were both sympathetic and angry!

Sympathetic for those poor, innocent girls.

Angry at the cruelty of the old aristocracy!

Although the light screen only told one "small matter."

But one can see the big picture from the small!

From this incident, one can see how dark Mondstadt was at that time!

Jade Chamber.

"Abominable!"

"These nobles all deserve to die!"

Keqing slammed the table hard after listening.

As a girl, she hated such people the most!

Just thinking about such things made her shudder.

Not to mention those girls who experienced it personally!

Around her, Ningguang, Ganyu, Lumine, and others also showed expressions of shock and anger.

Even little Paimon was the same!

It was just that this was 1,000 years ago.

If it were today, they would definitely not let these people off!

After venting, Keqing regained some of her reason.

Thinking of Mondstadt's past, and then thinking of the situation in Liyue, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, it's all thanks to the Geo Archon!"

"Otherwise, Liyue might have followed the same old path as Mondstadt."

"The price to be paid for human rule is too great..."

Ningguang nodded slightly after hearing this.

Indeed!

Humanity has infinite possibilities, but also inherent flaws.
