Chapter 210

~6 min read 1,110 words

Mondstadt is a city-state that champions freedom.

But what true freedom actually is, no one knows.

Just like the final scene of the light curtain, facing a battle where nearly the entire army was wiped out.

The knights did not choose to retreat.

Did they not know how to cherish life, or did they themselves choose to fight?

Just as Su Bai Lawrence said in the end.

He never emphasized what the Stormwind Knights should fight for.

Because Mondstadt is a city-state that champions freedom.

They can fight to satisfy their inner desire to battle.

They can fight for honor.

They can fight for the person they love.

They can even fight to protect Mondstadt.

All of this is their freedom.

Everything is for freedom, but in the end, not a single person is free.

Facing a battle that was almost impossible to win, their choice seemed to be only to fight to the death.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the citizens of Mondstadt, who wholeheartedly championed freedom.

How can the years ever be peaceful and good?

It is just that someone carries the heavy burden for them.

The people in the live broadcast room were immersed for a long while.

Only then did they slowly recover.

They knew very well that Su Bai Lawrence, as the commander of the Stormwind Knights,

could not leave that island from any perspective.

And as all the knights charged, the light curtain gradually dimmed.

As if also narrating the thrilling nature of the final battle.

The power unleashed by the tense despair at the last moment was equally terrifying.

People could imagine the ferocity and shouts of the knights during their slaughter in their minds.

Blood splattered everywhere, bodies littered the ground.

That was not a very warm scene, but a sight that was heartbreaking, shuddering, and chilling.

And the system chose to end at this moment, just like the lives of the charging knights.

The result was obvious.

Kaeya: "For freedom, give your heart..."

This should be the battle cry of the Stormwind Knights that Diluc mentioned in his past life.

But if it is truly for freedom, how can one give up their own life?

The slogan is very loud, and very close to Mondstadt, this ancient city-state of freedom.

But, thinking carefully, this slogan puts the cart before the horse regarding freedom.

Tianquan Ningguang: "So freedom is only relative."

Kamisato Ayaka: "The Knights gave their lives to defend Mondstadt's stability, so that the people of Mondstadt can live freely."

Arataki Itto: "Hehehe, people of Mondstadt, stop praising absolute freedom from now on."

Kujou Sara: "Boss, what they did has nothing to do with us. Mr. Su Bai was right. Protecting the ones they love, protecting Mondstadt, or even fighting and battling for the honor of those 597 people, that is also the decision made by their own free will. So we should not look at this matter with other eyes. I think no matter what they fight for, they are all heroes."

Arataki Itto: "Of course I know they are heroes. It's just that whenever I think of those people in Mondstadt City who even trouble the Knights when they lose a cat, I get very angry."

Venti: "Let me kowtow to you all, please go easy on your words..."

Diluc: "Uh, did I sacrifice myself in the end along with everyone else?"

Yuan Shang: "Perhaps the final battle was too bloody for the light curtain to show, but the knights led by Su Ye were probably their final charge."

Fischl: "The knights of Mondstadt, for freedom, give your heart. Our Stormwind Knights commander is so handsome. Why couldn't I participate?"

Bennett: "This..."

Mo Na: "Idiot."

Klee: "Mommy, Daddy led Brother Diluc and the Knight brothers in a charge in the end. What happened in the end?"

Alice: "This..."

Alice: "@Su Bai, you explain."

Su Bai: "Daddy is invincible, so he is definitely fine."

Klee: "Yay, I knew Daddy was the strongest. So when will you take Klee to blow up the octopus?"

Su Bai: "I will go to Mondstadt to pick up Klee right now."

Jean: "I didn't expect Mr. Su Bai to like children so much."

Lisa: "Jean, seize the opportunity in this life to have several more. With your qualifications, ten or eight is a piece of cake."

Jean: "Hey, you... can you keep a low profile..."

Diluc: "I... Do I have to change my address to Uncle Mr. Su Bai in the future?"

Paimon: "Wow, did we hear serious Grandpa Diluc make a joke?"

Osial: "Invincible Mr. Su Bai, may I weakly ask a question, the octopus you mentioned?"

Lumine: "It must be you with eight heads..."

Osial: "(Sweating profusely)"

Osseal: "I have eight heads, not eight claws."

Azhdaha: "Morax, reincarnators will soon arrive in Mondstadt from Liyue. Hurry and release me; with my massive size, I can welcome them and bring great honor to our Liyue."

Zhong Li: "Sigh... I know, you're giving me a headache..."

【Ding!】

A mechanical voice from the Reincarnation System echoed from the high heavens.

【This reincarnation story has concluded.】

【Rewards are being distributed; please remain calm.】

【Reward settlement complete.】

【Congratulations to Su Bai on receiving the rewards.】

【Reward: Floating Island area increased tenfold. Reward: A three-story mansion of one thousand ping (architectural style changes at will).】

"What?"

Furina, lying on Su Bai's bed, instantly sat up.

She hurriedly ran downstairs.

Seeing this, the others followed Furina and ran out.

In the living room, they met Su Bai and Furcalos, who had returned earlier.

"Hey, why are you two so calm?"

Furina said excitedly, "The rewards have been distributed, right?"

"The area of our home..."

Just then, the living room door opened.

Scirke finally stopped sitting beneath the Tree of Life.

"The area of our home, I mean the island's area..."

"Uh..."

"It has indeed increased tenfold; the vegetation and environment seem to have adapted accordingly."

"For instance, the coconut trees around you when you were lying on the beach earlier appear to have also increased tenfold in number."

Lumine feigned profundity, nodding repeatedly: "Just as I predicted."

"With the current area and our small group, if we don't activate elemental detection and play hide-and-seek, it might take days and nights to find anyone."

"Never mind; after all, we're used to eating and drinking well under Su Ye."

Lumine wore a look of humblebragging.

She then turned her gaze to Su Bai: "Do you really intend to take Klee to bomb Osseal?"

"Mm." Su Bai slowly rose: "Consider it accompanying the child for a bit of fun. But rest assured, there will be no threat to anyone's life safety."
