Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
Liyue, Ao Cang Mountain.
Rosalind, brought here by Venti, spotted her love rival at a glance, and also……
Rosalind looked at Lumine and the white flying thing and smiled: "Little guy, why aren't you going to find the Geo Archon, holding a tea party here instead?"
Lumine's brow furrowed; she was about to retort, but her gaze involuntarily swept a glance.
My Di Tian, super large cup……
"Heh, little miss." Rosalind knew where Lumine was looking; she also swept Lumine a glance, and instantly formed a judgment in her heart.
A nobody who can't get a seat at the table won't be targeted by Xuan Ge, safe.
Hearing this, Lumine's fist tightened! Her fist really clenched tight!
Rosalind didn't acknowledge Lumine, but turned her gaze to those two arch-enemies, then took out the flower, cradling it in her hands like a rare treasure.
"One has a marriage pact with the General, one raised the General."
Rosalind lowered her head and sniffed the flower's fragrance, the corner of her mouth curling up slightly.
"But they never expected that I would be the one who won, right."
Xianyun was about to retort, but she immediately recalled something, then looked toward Ying at the side who had opened the answer.
Hmm.... better wait for Ying to check, otherwise with Rosalind's troublesome methods, the two of them really couldn't win.
Back then when Xuan Ge brought her back to Liyue, it was merely the young Rosalind, and she alone could leave her and Ying unable to get a word in edgewise.
If not for A Ping and Raiden Makoto's assistance, they would truly have lost to Rosalind.
Of course, in the eyes of certain regions and certain people, Liyue and Inazuma strongly resist the Anemo Archon Barbatos.
Because Rosalind and Xuan Ge were matched together by him, forcibly giving a dull martial general and a reclusive immortal a tough nut to crack.
"What is this?" Rosalind raised an eyebrow, looking at Ying take out a sheet..... a newspaper?
This left her somewhat unable to understand.
Ying didn't reply, but carefully searched for words about Rosalind....
"Right here." Xianyun reached out and pointed, reminding in a low voice; Ying followed the gesture and looked, nodding.
This made Rosalind even more curious; she then came to Ying's side, tilted her head and leaned in to take a look.
"Wow~" Rosalind looked at those dense characters, feeling her brain couldn't quite turn.
This is full of...... answers on how to defeat the women by Xuan Ge's side.
"Hehe~ that little fox is quite sharp."
Rosalind still looked at it as if she were one of their own, and likewise guessed this was given to Ying by that pink big lebba.
Seeing these three who were just now in a life-and-death struggle now looking like a happy family reunion, Lumine also curiously leaned over to take a look.
One glance, just one glance, she almost fell asleep.
Lumine rubbed her eyes, perked up and continued reading down.
"Xianyun, Rosalind, Cryo Archon, Greater Benevolence Tree King……"
Lumine read the names in a low voice as she looked.
As she slowly looked further down, she suddenly saw a familiar name.
"Eula? How would she be on this?" Lumine was a bit surprised; this she truly hadn't expected.
Eula is Amber's good friend; she'd heard of her from Amber, but never saw her even when leaving.
"Heh, what else could it be for?"
Rosalind withdrew her gaze, her face bearing a trace of worldly-wise understanding.
"She is using her limited life to attempt to correct a cognition that has long been solidified for a thousand years."
Lumine curiously asked: "What do you mean?"
Seeing Rosalind and Lumine directly steer the topic away, Ying and Xianyun sighed; Rosalind is still this hard to deal with.
The Divine Child's guides all assume Xuan Ge is present, letting him pour water to balance things before they can contend with Rosalind.
But since it's like this, might as well listen to what Rosalind says; after all, being on the Divine Child's list, this Eula is no ordinary person either.
"Eula's family, the Lawrence, were once sinners of Mondstadt."
Fearing the dull Lumine wouldn't understand, Rosalind imitated Xuan Ge's way of making analogies.
"Roughly speaking, the youth who slays the dragon eventually becomes the evil dragon."
Lumine pondered a moment and nodded.
Her meaning should be that the Lawrence were once Mondstadt's nobility, the existence defending Mondstadt, but with the passage of time their faith changed.
"Mm, I know this, but your words are actually mistaken."
Xianyun continued, she now understood why Eula was on the list.
"Five hundred years ago Xuan Ge swept across six nations; though he had only eight thousand Shenwu Iron Cavalry, logistical supply was ultimately a troublesome matter, so at that time logistics were handled by the Lawrence."
"Huh?" Lumine somewhat didn't understand; if so, wouldn't the Lawrence be evil upon evil?
And entrusting logistical supply to outsiders, isn't that Xuan Ge being too child's play?
She subconsciously looked toward Paimon……
Alright, Paimon fell asleep when she saw that dense newspaper from Raiden Eiga.
Seeing Lumine's expression, Rosalind knew this was yet another one who doesn't understand political tactics.
"There was nothing separating Liyue and Mondstadt; for the Shen Wu Corps at the time, it was unimpeded."
Rosalind spoke, then picked up Xianyun's teacup and took a sip.
"And even if the Lawrences had the Anemo Archon's given courage, they wouldn't dare defy Xuan Ge."
Rosalind's words paused, then she spoke a sentence that made Ying begin to reshape her worldview of Xuan Ge.
"After all, that year's 'calling a deer a horse' great massacre scared the nobles of various nations into not daring to fart for five hundred years."
"Hmph, you don't stop him either, letting Xuan Ge get saddled with the Ghost General title for nothing." Xianyun let out a soft hum, pouring a cup of tea for Rosalind.
As long as it didn't involve contending with Xuan Ge, she was still very willing to chat with Ying and Rosalind; after all, Xuan Ge was really mischievous and cute when he was little.
If not for Xuan Ge's passing, she really wanted to share stories of Xuan Ge's childhood with others.
However, now that Xuan Ge has returned, she must prepare well.
When the time comes, first tell Shenhe about it.
"Learn well from your disciple Ganyu." Rosalind received the teacup, "Xuan Ge doesn't just want a Mondstadt; he wants all under heaven."
"Mm, if Xuan Ge became Emperor, people would have it much easier, and would be happy too."
Ying nodded in agreement.
She wholeheartedly supported Xuan Ge; back when he led troops to attack, if not for her sister making her compare again, she would have surrendered long ago.
"En heng~" Rosalind laughed, then looked at Ying and said: "So, the Lawrence Clan will forever have one opportunity to seek aid from Liyue."
If Xuan Ge merely led troops to conquer a nation, he could feed war with war, but at that time the Abyss had already invaded, monsters rampaged, so he couldn't spare troops to handle logistics.
Moreover, Xuan Ge swept through the six nations too fast, causing logistical pressure to directly explode.
However, the Lawrences, brave and charging forward, unafraid of difficulties, coordinated with locals on one hand, and supplied the Divine Might with resources on the other.
Though it truly exhausted people to death, the Lawrences truly held the line.
And this one holding of the line directly let the Lawrences write a heavy stroke in the history of the Seven Nations, even directly establishing a separate clan register.
From then on, the Lawrence Clan thoroughly belonged under the Divine Might General's command; it could be said... body in Mondstadt, heart in the Moon.
But the glory of a separate clan register and a stroke in history, these all fall within the scope of the Divine Might General.
That bunch of Mondstadt nobles still seized on loopholes, inciting malicious commoners to recall the Lawrences' past evils.
Even now there are still not a few people attacking the Lawrences.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
This young lady Eula is not weak; she did not use the Lawrence Clan's relationship with the Divine Might to shut their mouths.
Rather, with her own effort, she wants to erase the Lawrence Clan's name of the evil dragon.
Thinking of this, Rosalind couldn't help but secretly think the Divine Child is truly a fox spirit, truly smart enough.
The reason this Eula could make the list is not only because she is also big, not only because her waist is good, legs good, dancing good, but because Eula truly needs Xuan Ge's one-way street.
Now Eula's efforts look like jokes to her.
Because the prejudice in people's hearts is a great mountain; even if she wakes those malicious commoners, after a while wind will still blow up sparks.
After all, power is a bewitching thing, and this isn't a fairy tale world; there isn't that much beauty.
So, Eula very much needs Xuan Ge, clad in Divine Might armor, holding Ya Jiao, to stand in the Mondstadt Plaza.
If another 'calling a deer a horse' happens, the effect would be even better.
Ying knew she couldn't get a word in; she simply stood up and looked toward Liyue Harbor.
"I'm going to find Xuan Ge; you all chat first."
She had already sensed that aura from before; it was that person arriving.
Ying's eyes narrowed; she absolutely cannot let Xuan Ge go astray!
