Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 542 Ancient Family

Mond City,
Lawrence's last family land, in a luxurious but declining manor,

The old man who saw Xin Yan playing in Fengshen Square stopped in the garden that was no longer bright,
Although as a sinner, the Knights confiscated a large amount of wealth and wealth channels of the Lawrence family.

But this ancient noble family does not lack Mora. They who once ruled Mond have accumulated terrifying wealth.

The reason why the manor was dilapidated was because they couldn't find the manpower to repair it.

In Mond, Lawrence could not find workers who were willing to help them maintain the manor even if he had money.

There is money, but no service can be bought, which is one of the reasons why Patriarch Lawrence has been unable to revive.

Their access to outside knowledge is relatively imprisoned,
Although as the old nobles, they themselves have some knowledge that ordinary people cannot know,

But under the never-ending footsteps of time, it is only a matter of time before Lawrence, who cannot acquire more knowledge, disappears.

Looking at the dilapidated garden in front of him, old Lawrence sighed slightly. He knew his body, and he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for many years. Now the most promising child in the family has fallen out with the family.

And the rest of the family seemed useless.

This also includes worrying about looking at his son behind him.

"Father, you seem to be in a bad mood." Behind the old man, the middle-aged man asked worriedly.

He felt that it must have been when those untouchables sang Vanessa in the square just now that his father was angry.

"Father, those untouchables don't understand etiquette and taste, so you don't have to be angry with them."

The middle-aged man thought he had guessed the reason why his father was in a bad mood, so he comforted him.

The old man turned around and looked at his eldest son with some dissatisfaction: "Do you think that I will be angry because those people praised Vanessa?"

As the current leader of Lawrence's main line, the old man is very dissatisfied with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was taken aback. The old father wasn't angry because of what happened just now, so what else could it be?
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Just about to open his mouth to reprimand his eldest son,

But a gust of wind seemed to blow away the dissatisfaction in the old man's heart,
"Ah~" All emotions turned into a sigh, the old man looked at his eldest son again, and then said, "Go to Yula, let her come back to see me."

"What? Father, you want to meet that traitor?" The middle-aged man looked in disbelief.

For the old-fashioned Lawrence,

Yura is absolutely unforgivable existence,

Traitor is what Lawrence internally calls Yura.

"What? Do you have a problem with my order?" The old man didn't explain anything, but just looked at the middle-aged man coldly.

After staring at each other for less than three seconds, the middle-aged man retreated under the old man's cold gaze.

"Yes, father, I will inform that traitor Yura."

"Well, go ahead and leave me alone for a while." The old man's hollow voice sounded in the ears of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man who had just been frightened by the old man's cold eyes did not notice the emptiness in the old man's tone, just nodded, and left the dilapidated garden.

After the middle-aged man left, the old man's tall and straight body suddenly slumped, and he completely lost the momentum that had just forced the middle-aged man.

"Great Lord Barbatos, are we really wrong?"

The old man's heart is weeping blood,

When he was young, he, like his eldest son, firmly believed that Lawrence's rule over Mond was orthodox.

But as the years passed, the Lawrence family not only failed to revive in his hands, but also became weaker and weaker.

Even, the only being in this generation who possessed the Eye of God 'betrayed' Lawrence and joined the Knights.

This had a huge impact on the belief of the old man.

In the general cognition of Tewat, the eye of God is the proof of the person watched by the gods.

Now, Lawrence, who was watched by the gods, chose the Knights.

This was a blow to those who adhered to Lawrence's orthodoxy.

The old man's face was a little pale, but he quickly became indifferent again.

"Lawrence, you must not end the curtain on my hands."

Immediately, the pupils became firmer.

On Lawrence Manor,
The light is distorted, hiding two 'peepers'.

"What do you think of this old Lawrence?" Wendy asked calmly, unable to see what he was thinking.

Wang Dao glanced at the old man below, and shook his head slightly: "It's just a beast trapped in a cage."

Beasts trapped in cages, if they want to be free,

Or, burst out of its cage, and kill its captors,

Or, only by exposing the belly and expressing surrender, is it possible to gain limited freedom.

Wendy nodded slightly: "Yes, Lawrence is like a trapped beast now. I hope they can be free, but I don't want them to continue to conflict with other people."

"It's very difficult. There is no way to solve the thousand-year hatred so easily." Wang Dao shook his head, he has the right to speak on this point.

Just like the desert and the rainforest, how much effort he and Nasida had made allowed the two sides to gradually let go of their defenses and restore equal communication.

This is still the situation where the two gods are balancing water on it.

And the people of Mond and the Lawrence family,
There is no less hatred between them than between the desert and the rainforest.

For the people of Mond, the Lawrence family is the existence that enslaves them, and it is a symbol of sin. Everyone in the Lawrence family is bleeding sinful blood.

For the members of the Lawrence family, from the glory of their ancestors to being targeted everywhere and being discriminated against wherever they go, it makes them yearn more and more to return to the ancient era of rule.

The conflict between the two sides has become almost irreconcilable.

To ask the people of Mond to forgive Lawrence, unless Fengshen personally pardoned Lawrence, but it is obviously impossible for Wendy to do such a thing.

His philosophy is freedom, to be free to hate, which is also a kind of freedom, so Wendy will not interfere.

"Then give me a chance. Part of the reason why Lawrence has not been forgiven by the people of Mond for thousands of years is that they have become more and more sticking to the family's stereotypes under the targets of the people of Mond. Now, I will give them a chance."

While Wendy was talking, she stretched out her hand and plucked the strings,
The millennium that envelops Mond responds,

The inexplicable melody echoes in the city of Mond,

But no one can hear,

Only Abedo looked up at the sky slightly, then looked back at Tinari beside him, and continued to chat about the nature of the medicinal herbs.

Beside Wendy, Wang Daoyi showed a slight smile: "I am looking forward to the direction of the story."

Stretching out his hand, his fingertips fluctuated slightly in the void, as if something had been triggered.

The wind brings the seeds of stories, and time germinates them.

After finishing his work, Wang Dao looked at the sun that was about to set, stretched his waist,

"It takes time for the seeds to germinate. I will go back first. When the flowers open, I will come and see."

After finishing speaking, Wang Daoyi disappeared into the air, leaving only Wendy stroking the strings.

He didn't seem to care about Wang Daoyi's departure, he still plucked the strings lightly,
It's just that there is unstoppable joy in the eyes with low eyebrows,

"Sure enough, my choice is correct, the power of time, he has already grasped a trace of it now."

……

in cattail taverns,
Xiangling sat in a corner with Yun Jin,

And in front of them,
A small loli-sized girl was holding a plate with two glasses of iced drinks on it.

"Hurry up, Xiangling and Miss Yunjin, try my new drink. This time I use sugar to improve the sweetness of the drink. The sweetness should be higher."

Diona was very happy about Xiangling's visit.

I immediately prepared my new drink for my friend.

Xiangling was not too polite, she reached out to pick up a glass, and then motioned for Yun Jin to bring a glass.

"You're welcome, Jin Yun, Diona really likes everyone drinking her drink."

Xiangling said.

Diona nodded vigorously, indicating that Xiangling was right.

As long as she doesn't drink alcohol, Diona is willing to prepare the most delicious drinks for adults.

It's a pity that adults only want to drink, and she tried hard to make a bad wine, but she couldn't succeed.

Those grown-ups drank her 'special wine' and gave Diona a 'provocative' thumbs up, expressing that it was delicious.

To Diona, this is no less abominable act than snatching her dried fish.

Yunjin nodded, picked up another drink, took a sip, and then her eyes lit up: "It's delicious, I've never had such a delicious drink."

As Liyue's opera master, although Yun Jin has strict control over her diet, she has not been in contact with various precious drinks.

As a master of opera, she can't eat and drink casually like ordinary people, but her ability to taste good and bad is better than ordinary people.

As soon as Diona's special drink drank, Yunjin felt a sweet and clear spring water surround her throat, washing away her tiredness from a day's work.

With Yun Jin's approval, Diona raised the kitten's tail, and the smile on her face became more obvious.

Unfortunately, before she could smile for a while,
Cheers came from the card table on the other side,

The guest from Sumeru won again,
His opponent stood up depressed, and then shouted to Diona: "Diona, old rules, serve everyone a glass of cider, and charge it to me."

Diona glanced angrily at the Sumeru wearing the jackal hat,
That's the guy. After coming to the cat tail bar, everyone started to gamble.

Diona remembers when this guy came,
He shouted arrogantly to the card players in the tavern: "As long as I lose, I will invite everyone in the tavern to have a drink."

Then everyone started queuing up to challenge this Sumerian.

Of course, the people of Mond still have to face. After losing the game, they will also invite everyone onlookers to have a drink.

Till now, the Xumi people have not lost yet, but this round of treats and drinks has already made Diona very dissatisfied.

Originally, everyone didn't drink much after playing cards, but now it's better, and they start gambling directly, and the sales of Cat Tail Tavern have greatly increased.

If things go on like this, when will she be able to subvert the Mond wine industry~
However, although she looked like she was going to bite someone, Diona went to get someone a drink.

After all, this is her job.

When Diona comes back from delivering the wine,
Xiang Ling and Yun Jin had already finished their drinks,
"Ah, you're done drinking, I'll make it for you again." Diona is a very hospitable person, and it can be seen from this.

Xiangling quickly reached out to stop her: "Farewell, goodbye, one cup is enough, let's sit down and talk."

Yun Jin also nodded: "One cup is enough, I can't drink too much."

As an opera worker, Yun Jin needs to strictly control the intake of drinks, and one drink is already considered too much.

If she was in Liyue, she would have a taste at most, it would be impossible for her to finish a glass.

The rejected kitten was a little disappointed, but not for too long, and sat next to Xiangling and started talking.

"Xiang Ling is here this time, is he here to participate in the Wind Flower Festival?"

"Yeah, brother Daoyi brought us here, and said that the wind and flower festival in Mond is interesting."

The kitten's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, the Wind Flower Festival is fun, not only in Mond City, but also people from Qingquan Town and the surrounding areas will come to Mond City. There will be a lot of fun.”

As he said that, the kitten told Xiangling and Yun Jin the interesting stories about the Wind Flower Festival in previous years.

Xiang Ling and Yun Jin were fascinated by what they heard, and they wished they could experience it right away.

……

Mond Library,
A group of bards are looking up information here,

As the largest library in the Northern Continent, the collection of books in the Mond Library is still massive even if it has encountered a fire.

At the beginning, Wang Daoyi completed the basic accumulation of many things here.

And now this group of bards is also looking for various materials here, hoping to provide inspiration for their creation.

Among the bards, there was another dark-skinned girl surrounded by them.

"This collection of Vanessa stories is considered a treasure of the Mond Library. It is the first collection of stories. Most of the stories on it are reliable. Unlike many collections of stories now, they are all re-edited or even re-edited many times."

The minstrels carefully took an ancient book from the shelf and handed it to Xin Yan.

Xin Yan carefully opened the ancient book,

Then he was slightly taken aback, showing an embarrassed expression: "This... I don't know the words on it."

As the original collection of Vanessa's stories, this book is written in Gumund script, which is completely different from the current common language.

The bards also froze,
A group of people looked at each other, and then smiled wryly: "Okay, then we will translate it for you."

Then a group of people began to translate for Xin Yan in a hurry,
But the more Xin Yan listened, the more uncomfortable he became.

It's not that the bards didn't translate well, but that the stories they translated were too straightforward.

A simple translation of ancient times into the present does not have the feeling of "credibility and elegantness" at all.

Although the story is still the story of resistance, Xin Yan just can't arouse any interest in creating.

The bards also noticed Xin Yan's frown, and stopped translating with some doubts.

"Miss Xin Yan, is there any question?" They thought they did not mistranslate.

Xin Yan nodded, then shook his head again: "There is no problem with the translation, I can understand it, but the story seems a bit too straightforward, without a trace of readability."

Like a novel of the same subject,
Some people's writing is fascinating, making people constantly think about it, and full of inspiration.

Some people's writing is very pale, and the assembly-line narrative gradually wipes out the readers' interest.

Although it is the same story, it is indeed a completely different result.

"Too blunt..."

The minstrels were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up. They are all engaged in art, so they naturally know how damaging pale descriptions are to art.

I know the problem, but the bards are also having difficulties.

Although they all know some ancient Mongolian language, the stories in the ancient books are the stories they translated. It is not an easy task to translate the stories without being pale.

This involves substituting and changing vocabulary in translation. If experts who specialize in the Gumund language are here, it may be possible, but for a group of bards, this is still a bit embarrassing.

Xin Yan also saw the difficulty of the bards, she frowned slightly: "Is it difficult to translate?"

The poets smiled wryly,
It is indeed a bit embarrassing to try to translate an old and pale narrative story into today's language and give it a new vitality.

It is necessary that the translation should express the meaning of the original text as much as possible.

It is also necessary to let the language flow smoothly and express in a natural way close to the current language,
It is also necessary to add interesting expressions to the story, so that its original ancient narrative techniques can be understood by current readers.

Doing these three points is the basis for satisfying adoption.

"We need a Gurmundian master," said the bards.

Then they looked at each other and wondered where there was such a person in Mond.

Mond is a free country, people here are as unruly as the wind,
For the ancient ancient Mongolian language, few people will study it carefully,
This kind of person generally only exists in some ancient noble families.

The most basic is to liberate the original Mond families:

For example, the acting head of Qin's family, Gurnhild.

For example, the family of the owner of Chateau Mond, Mr. Diluc, Legenfinder.

For example, the Katzlein family in Qingquan Town.

And, of course, the family of sinners the Monds will never forgive, the Lawrences.

If you want to find a Gu Meng German translator, then the best way, most likely, is to seek the help of acting head Qin.

After all, the Legenfind family currently only has one and a half members, one is Master Di Luke, and the other half is Captain Kaia.

As for why Kaia is half, because Kaia was adopted.

And the Katzlein family, who have lived on hunting for generations, do not look like writers at first glance.

As for the Lawrence family, it is naturally impossible for everyone to ask for their help. This is the bottom line.

Therefore, in the end, only Gurnhilde, the acting head Qin's family, could help them.

"Miss Xin Yan, it looks like we have to go find Captain Qin."

The bard was not shy about asking Qin for help.

In other words, when most Mond people encounter difficulties, they will subconsciously ask the Knights for help.

And the way to find the Knights is to find Qin, the acting head.

This gentle knight will always take care of everyone's troubles.

Although bards are mostly people who have traveled to many countries, their trust in Qin is still buried in their hearts.

"In that case, let's go."

Xin Yan is not a procrastination person either, since he has a goal, he should go for it.
