You know, the most heroic deeds she had heard since she was a child were about Vanessa and Rustan.

The former, together with the God of Wind, liberated Mondstadt and freed the people of Mondstadt from the dark ages ruled by the old nobles.

And the latter, killed the poisonous dragon and destroyed countless monsters, and was even praised as the most powerful leader of the Knights in history.

That was the Knights, and also the hero of Mondstadt.

Qin naturally would not allow others to insult heroes casually.

However, Su Chen just smiled and said nothing about her dissatisfaction, and even invited her to drink another cup of black tea.

After chatting with Su Chen, Qin returned to Gunhild's mansion.

"Daughter, what are you looking for?"

A noble lady in a light blue nightgown appeared at the door of the study.

The woman had a beautiful face and was somewhat similar to Qin. She looked about thirty-five years old, with a gentle temperament and charming figure, which was even more attractive against the background of the nightgown.

Frederica Gunhild.

"Mother." Qin bowed to Frederica, and then said, "I want to find the records about Captain Rustan."

"Rustan?"

Frederica was a little confused, "Is it related to your recent events?"

"It has nothing to do with me, but it may be helpful to my affairs. I don't know... It's just that I want to know now." Qin was not sure whether the lady would choose to help her, but now she wanted to understand, to understand the former hero, the person she admired.

"You can't find it like this."

Seeing Qin rummaging through the bookshelf, Frederica hesitated for a moment and walked into the study.

"Come with me."

Qin followed with some curiosity.

At the end of the study, Frederica fumbled for a few times.

A secret door opened.

Qin was slightly surprised. She had lived in this house for so many years, but she didn't know there was a dark room here.

"All the nobles in Mondstadt decided to seal up the matter of Rustan. The ancestors of the family kept all the records here and told them not to show them to others, even the people of the Gunhild family."

The things here are only known to the heads of the family of all generations.

If it weren't for Qin's current precarious situation, Frederica wouldn't have made this decision.

In addition, Qin is the future head of the Gunhild family, and she will know these things sooner or later.

The dark room is not big, and many ancient things are stored. Qin found a notebook in the drawer of a desk inside.

The content inside shocked her greatly.

"The ancestor actually cooperated with Captain Rustan?"

It recorded the things when Su Chen found the Gunhild family, from stating his identity, to conveying his will, to cooperation-the Gunhild family head at that time played a huge role in Su Chen becoming the leader of the Knights.

"Lord Rustan... is really the leader of the Earth Fire."

Qin's chest rose and fell violently, her pupils widened, and she looked at the contents of the notebook in disbelief.

Gunhild's duty is to protect Mond, and although the nobles in Mond were not as corrupt as in the darkest age, they were not much better.

Rustam, one of the candidates for the leader, led the Earth Fire to secretly protect Mond, which coincided with Gunhild's will, and it was not surprising that they cooperated with each other.

"This is the truth."

When Qin saw the ancestors record Rustam's actions in Mond, recruiting soldiers for Mond, expanding the organization, and strengthening the military, but was misunderstood by the people, forced to step down, and then attacked by the dark beast tide, went to the deepest part alone, fought with the terrifying poisonous dragon, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Disappeared for five hundred years, naturally dead.

And the book also mentioned that Rustam had a good relationship with a girl named Rosalin.

"Rosalin... is the lady?"

Qin thought slightly.

I understand more about the reason why the lady hates Mond.

Rustam at the time, moving forward with the light, but alone in the darkness, no one understands and protects him.

Seeing this, Qin has the urge to make the truth public.

The Earth Fire is not evil, but an extension of Rustan's will. Those who should be punished are the dignitaries who cover up the truth and fool their people.

Even Qin herself did not notice it.

This change in mentality is invisibly consistent with Su Chen's expectations.

From today on, the Earth Fire has one more "friend".

...

"Let that person come to see me. In exchange, the Fools will fully support you. Use the handling of the dragon disaster as a reason for publicity. I think those people will support you whether in the Knights or in Mondstadt."

The next day, the lady came to the Knights and stated her conditions simply and directly.

Obviously, the so-called "rejection" yesterday is no longer a concern.

Qin also gradually understood why Su Chen was so sure that the negotiation yesterday went smoothly, but she did not immediately agree to the lady's request, but asked Su Chen's opinion.

"Tell her that after this matter, I will find a time to meet her." Su Chen smiled lightly.

"Why can't we meet now?"

Qin was very confused.

She felt more and more that Su Chen's identity would not be so simple.

A passing Liyue person... not only has extensive knowledge and outstanding abilities, but also knows things that happened five hundred years ago. Lisa trusts him unconditionally?

"It's not time yet."

Su Chen did not intend to directly intervene in the actions of the Earth Fire. What he wanted was for the Earth Fire to operate freely in Mondstadt. In addition to the matters against the Mondstadt nobles, the most important thing was the long-term relationship between the Knights and the Earth Fire.

Finding a balance is the most important thing.

After all, Su Chen didn't plan to stay in Mondstadt for the rest of his life. It was impossible to kill all the nobles. That would be unrealistic, but at the same time, it was necessary to prevent them from playing with their power. This kind of thing was actually not that easy to deal with.

However, Qin's character is more suitable to be this middleman than Aelendlin five hundred years ago.

This is why Su Chen deliberately asked her to understand the truth five hundred years ago.

...

Soon, the fools led by the lady took new actions.

As Gaelmer waited eagerly for the day of the election for acting captain, a public meeting was held in Mondstadt Square where the knights and the fools jointly discussed how to deal with the dragon disaster, witnessed by the people of Mondstadt. held under the huge statue of the god of wind.

When Gail Mai heard the news at first, he laughed three times and prepared to put on a new outfit to face his most glorious moment.

But soon news came out that the Fools had designated Qin to take over the work of the Knights, so Gelmer immediately exploded.

You know, he can get support largely due to the recent tensions in Mondstadt and the dragon disaster problem. Now with the support of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and the Fools, it is equivalent to the key to solving these two problems. At Qin's place.

So, what other advantages does Gelmer have?

Support from aristocratic groups?

But this alone cannot shake the Gunnhild family's thousands of years of operation in Mondstadt.

"Assholes! Those despicable guys from the Fools, they are all a bunch of villains who are unjust for their own benefit!"

"I think Gunnhild must have reached some kind of agreement with them secretly. Tomorrow is a public meeting and the election day for the acting leader. We must deal with this matter as soon as possible."

"Deal it? How to deal with it?"

"Actually, the problem is very clear. We can start with the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. As long as the supply of materials is no longer guaranteed, those ignorant people will naturally know who is their food and clothing parent."

At night.

In a luxurious mansion.

Gelmet discussed the current situation with a group of nobles.

The Fools' jump was too sudden, which they didn't expect.

But no matter what, time is running out and they must act immediately.

"Gaiermai, can you tell us what to do? We have no way out now." A nobleman said.

"damn it!"

Gail Mai's face was gloomy.

"In that case, let's fight to the death with Gunnhild!"

It is difficult to regain the support of the Fools, but if Gunnhild and Qin are killed, then the final victory will be theirs.

However, this conspiracy was quickly destroyed by the knights who rushed in.

When Qin led a group of knights into the mansion, Gelmer and others did not react.

"Captain Qin, what are you doing?!" a noble said angrily, "You surrounded us to use force to stabilize your position? Mondstadt is a country of freedom, Lord Barbatos will decide You are not allowed to behave like this!"

Qin said coldly: "Joels, you are not qualified to mention freedom, let alone Lord Barbatos... According to the evidence I have, in recent years you have secretly abducted thousands of children and used violent means to obtain large amounts of illegal Qiancai, please come with us immediately!”

Joels was shocked: "I, I didn't!"

"Yes or no, the Knights will naturally give a fair judgment."

"Wait a moment!"

Gelmet wanted to stop him, but Qin spoke first.

"Inspector General Gailmai, you are suspected of betraying national interests. According to the report of the Fools, you agreed to the Fools to send troops to intervene in the Dragon Disaster some time ago in exchange for their secret support for you to become the acting captain... to participate in this matter. Those involved also included Deputy Captain Cagle, Captain Luke, and Captain Kurt..."

"Sir Fred, you are suspected of imprisoning and abusing young girls."

"Sir Denton, you are suspected of robbing other people's wives and sexually abusing children."

"Your Excellency Abu Solon, you are suspected of child sexual abuse and murder."

"Sir John, you are suspected of..."

Qin read out the names of more than a dozen people in one breath, all members of the nobility present.
