Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 543 Sinners and Prejudice

Mond, in front of the Knights Building,
Yura, who returned from her patrol, felt a peek from behind her.

With a chill in her pupils, Yula's gaze shot towards the dark place like lightning,
The next moment, the coldness in the eyes became more intense,

She saw a familiar figure, but also the figure she least wanted to see,
Eyes flickering slightly, Yula turned to look at Amber beside her: "Amber, I suddenly remembered something, please report to Qin and me, I'm leaving first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Amber to reply, he hurried to the city.

Amber looked at Yula's back helplessly, and finally could only shake his head, and turned around and entered the building of the Knights Order alone.

the other side,
Yura came to a deserted place in the corner of the city,

With cold eyes,

Looking into the shadows beyond,

"Enough, come out, why are you spying on me?"

There was extreme depression in Yura's voice,
For these clansmen who are always causing trouble for her, Yura can hardly restrain her inner anger.

A middle-aged man came out from a dark corner,
In his eyes, there was a look more angry than Yura,

"Yura Lawrence, you are the controller of [Ice Seal], you should stand with the family." The middle-aged man's voice was extremely suppressed, and the anger almost gushed out from his mouth.

The coldness in Yula's eyes faded, and a trace of disdain appeared: "Don't you know what the [Ice Seal] represents? Does Lawrence today still have the qualifications to be worthy of it?"

[The Seal of Ice] is the family crest of the Lawrence family.

Yes, in a sense, Yula is the head of the Lawrence family, and she controls the supreme symbol representing the force of the Lawrence family.

And Yula left the Lawrence family with [Ice Seal], in a sense, because she thought that the Lawrence family was no longer worthy of [Ice Seal].

This family emblem, which represents the supreme force of the Lawrence family, also represents the will of the Lawrence family that has not fallen in the early days of Mond's reclamation: cold and noble, not afraid of the flames, tough and calm, not to be shaken.

"It was Mond who betrayed Lawrence, we developed Mond, and we are the masters here." Hearing Yula's mocking voice, the middle-aged man broke his defenses, and he lowered his voice and whispered to Yula.

However, this behavior only made Yula look down on him even more.

"You don't even have the courage to roar." Yula shook her head sadly and disappointedly, "Tell me what you want from me. If you want me to betray the Knights and return to the family, then it goes without saying."

Probably extreme anger followed by calm,
The bloodshot eyes of the middle-aged man gradually calmed down, looking at the tall girl in front of him,
The once best junior in the family finally stood on the opposite side of the family.

He suddenly felt sad.

"Patriarch wants to see you." The middle-aged man said.

Yula frowned slightly, and an old but tall figure appeared in her mind.

After a slight silence, she nodded: "I see."

The middle-aged people are a little dissatisfied, what do you mean if you know it, just reply to this point?
"Then when are you going to meet the Patriarch?"

Yula gave him a cold look: "After I report to Captain Qin."

"You..." The middle-aged man was furious. He felt that Yula meant that he was worried that the Lawrence family was alienating her from the Knights, so he reported the matter to Qin before making a decision.

In his opinion, this is an invitation from an elder, and Yula's suspicion is trampling on the honor of Patriarch Lawrence.

However, Yura just sneered at his anger, turned around and left.

She knew what the middle-aged people were angry about. There were basically only two reasons for the Lawrence family's anger. One was that he felt that he was underestimated, and the other was that the family was looked down upon.

The old aristocratic thinking is nothing more than these two things.

But in fact, Yura just didn't want to disappoint Qin's trust.

Qin gave her the trust of a sinner, and she should naturally return the same trust.

If you earn something, you must pay for it.

This is Yura's understanding of the concept of nobility.

Seeing Yula's leaving back, the middle-aged man shook his hand bitterly, and left.

There's no way, I can't be beaten, I can't be scolded, so I can only leave.

And Yura went all the way back to the Knights Building,
Under the awe and distant eyes of the gatekeeper knight, he walked into the head's office.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she realized that there were not only Qin and Amber in her imagination,
There's also a group of bards and a little girl with a strange stringed instrument on her back.

And those bards reacted a bit more when they saw Yura,

"It's Lawrence!!!"

They subconsciously took a few steps back, protruding Xin Yan who was surrounded by them.

The corner of Yula's mouth was slightly drawn: "Why, seeing the descendants of sinners, is it so frightening? This kind of look, hmph, I will remember this hatred."

Hearing Yula's vengeful words, the bards looked at each other, not knowing whether to refute her forcefully or apologize.

On the side, Amber slapped his forehead, and then pulled Yula over: "Okay, okay, why scare them."

Then turned to look at the bards: "Don't worry, Yula is a knight of the Knights, she will not retaliate against you."

The bards nodded with difficulty, as they had uncovered this paragraph.

On the other hand, Xin Yan who was next to her was a little curious. This tall and beautiful female knight seemed to scare the bards nearby.

This sense of conflict between beauty and terror made Xin Yan, who is an artist, brighten his eyes.

There was a hint of interest in Yura in her heart.

On the other side, Qin just shook her head slightly, she knew that Yula would not take revenge on these bards, so she didn't care about what happened just now,

Instead, he asked, "Yura, just now Amber said you have something to do, have you finished it now?"

Yula nodded, and didn't care that there were outsiders here: "Someone from the Lawrence family came to me just now and told me that the Patriarch wants to see me."

The bards on the side looked a little unhappy, and they felt that they had heard something they shouldn't have heard.

Although Mond is very free, it is obviously not interesting to get involved in the affairs of the Knights and the old nobles.

"Well, Captain Qin, why don't we leave first?" The bards wanted to slip away.

Qin immediately shook her head: "No, what you said just now happens to be a suitable candidate here."

Saying that, Qin pointed to Yula in front of her: "Youla has received aristocratic education and learned Gumonde. She can complete the translation you want."

After listening to the piano,

The bards looked at her in disbelief. They felt that Captain Qin was probably a little tired, otherwise how could he say such nonsense.

Yura Lawrence is from the Lawrence family.

And what they want to translate is the legend of Vanessa,
The Lawrence family was overthrown by the Mond people led by Lord Vanessa.

Isn't it nonsense to ask the Lawrence family to translate the ancient Vanessa legend?

Unlike the bards' resistance,
Xin Yan didn't feel anything, she was quite curious about Yula, and she didn't resist Yula's help.

However, before Xin Yan could speak, Yula became unhappy: "Captain Qin, I'm not Noelle, I won't help you with anything."

On the other side, a cute head came in from the office door: "I heard someone calling me just now, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qin shook her head helplessly: "No, there's no need, thank you Noelle, you can just do your work."

The lovely maid nodded: "Okay Captain Qin, if you need anything, please call me directly."

Jean nodded, watching the maid knight close the door.

One of the knight order's default rules, please don't call out Noelle's name casually, she will really come over.

Seeing that the door was closed, Qin began to talk about the bards and Xin Yan's request,

They needed a translator fluent in the Gumund language.

Then, to translate the ancient version of "The Legend of Vanessa", and other ancient materials.

Yula frowned slightly: "Why don't you ask Miss Lisa for this kind of thing?"

The bards were a little embarrassed: "Ms. Lisa asked us not to disturb her beauty sleep."

Lisa, the librarian, is a terrifying witch who wields the power of lightning.

As bards who often go to the library to look up information, they absolutely dare not offend Lisa.

"Cut~" Yula sneered, then nodded casually, "If you are willing to believe me, I can translate for you when I come back from Lawrence Manor."

The bards were a little afraid to agree,
On the contrary, Xin Yan nodded and stretched out his hand to Yula: "Then I will trouble you."

"you?"

Yula was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xin Yan's outstretched hand with great interest, and spent three seconds to confirm whether Xin Yan was mocking her,

After seeing the purity in Xin Yan's eyes, Yula had a beautiful smile on her face, and held Xin Yan's hand: "Don't worry, I will try my best to translate."

Then he turned and looked at Qin: "Then, Captain Qin, I will go to Lawrence Manor first. As for the work of translation, let them go to the library to find the materials they need. I don't think I will stay in Lawrence Manor for too long. .”

Yula has a deep understanding of the relationship between herself and the Lawrence family, and this time when she goes back, it is probably the same as before, a big fight.

Yura doesn't have any good feelings for the clansmen who refuse to let go of their past glory, and even try to make trouble.

In Yula's mind, if the members of the Lawrence family persisted in their obsession and even continued to abuse Mond, then the surname Lawrence and those people should be obliterated by her.

This is probably the only [Family Responsibility] Yula Lawrence wants to fulfill after taking over the family symbol [Ice Seal].

As for the disappearance of the Lawrence family, Yura will probably change her surname casually.

She has endured too much suffering under the surname Lawrence, and it seems like a good choice if she can let go of this surname.

Yura left the building of the Knights Order and went to Lawrence Manor.

Amber also greeted everyone and left.

Only Xin Yan and the bards remained here.

Qin smiled: "Yura has promised to help, so please go find the information first."

There is no way, the bards bite the bullet: "Okay, Captain Qin, thank you very much."

"You don't need to say thank you, I am also looking forward to the rock and roll that belongs to Lady Vanessa." Qin still smiled.

As Vanessa's successor, Jean's admiration for Vanessa is absolute.

These people want to write rock and roll about Lord Vanessa, as long as they write it well, Jean will support it.

The group left Qin's office and returned to the library.

Xin Yan asked curiously: "That girl just now, you seem to be very afraid of her?"

"It's not fear, it's disgust. Miss Xin Yan, you are not from Mond, so you may not understand it. Let's put it this way, the villain in the Vanessa legend we have been translating is her ancestor."

"Yeah, she is a descendant of sinners, and she always holds vengeance. You heard it just now. We were just scared by her, and she will take our vengeance."

"Lawrence really doesn't have a good person. I really don't know why the Knights want to keep them."

……

Listening to the bards' complaints, Xin Yan's eyes fluctuated slightly,
Although I don't know why, Xin Yan felt that the girl just now was not bad.
When the other party shook his hand just now and said that he would seriously help, Xin Yan could feel the sincerity of the other party's heart.

But what the bards said about Lawrence's evil deeds gave Xin Yan a sense of conflict.

"Do you know? In Liyue, there is a kind of flower called lotus." Xin Yan said suddenly.

"Ah?" The bards were a little puzzled, they didn't know what Xin Yan meant, but they didn't correct Xin Yan's statement. In fact, Liyue didn't just have lotus.

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the bards, Xin Yan's eyes were shining brightly: "I once asked the gentleman of Tongwen Academy what he thought of my rebellious spirit."

The bards didn't know who the master of Tongwen Academy was, but they didn't interrupt, and still listened to Xin Yan's words seriously.

"At that time, my husband pointed to the lotus in the pool, and he told me that resistance is like a lotus in the water."

"Although you are deeply trapped in the mud, but you have to strive for self-improvement and resist your own origin, only then can you break out of the mud and be independent of the world."

"Resistance is not a great existence. It is all around us. When I heard you talking about Lawrence's story and saw that Miss Yula Lawrence, I suddenly thought of this story."

"The Lawrence family is like mud, Miss Yula is like Lian born in the mud, she is fighting hard, don't you see?"

After listening to Xin Yan's words, the bards were slightly silent.

Yula has joined the Knights for so long, and even reached the captain level, how could they have not seen Yula's resistance to the Lawrence family.

However, the surname is Lawrence. This surname alone is already impossible to gain the trust of the people of Mond.

Xin Yan looked at the silence of the minstrels, without any dissatisfaction on her face. Although she didn't know how much the Mond people hated Lawrence, she would not try to persuade them to be magnanimous.

After thinking for a while, Xin Yan said again: "After a while, after Miss Yula comes, I want to have a chat with her alone."

"This..." the bards hesitated.

Xin Yan waved his hand and interrupted what the bards were trying to persuade: "I know that you don't want to believe Miss Yula in your heart, it's because the Lawrence family has hurt you, but I'm different, I'm from Liyue, I will talk to Yura-san from an objective point of view."

"In the past, Vanessa rebelled against the desperate old nobles, and now Miss Yula is rebelling against the Lawrence family that made her despair. Isn't this a kind of history repeating itself?"

"I think, no matter what kind of background it is, it should not be a reason to deny those who resist the unfair fate."

"Back then, Lady Vanessa was able to set off resistance against the old nobles as a slave, but now Miss Yula can also use her identity as a descendant of a sinner to rebel against the family that imprisoned her, can't she?"

Listening to Xin Yan's words, the bards gradually hesitated. Finally, they looked at Xin Yan's pure eyes and nodded slightly.

"Well, Miss Xin Yan, you are the creator of rock and roll, and you should have the right to choose the source of inspiration."

They were still unwilling to forgive Yula, who bears the name of Lawrence, and found another angle as an excuse, and agreed to have a private chat between Xin Yan and Yula.

Xin Yan laughed happily: "Then let's find information quickly, and make preparations first, which is also the prerequisite for the birth of great works."

The bards were infected by Xin Yan's vitality and began to search for various materials.

……

Looking at the more dilapidated gate in front of me than in memory,

Without any hesitation, Yura pushed open the ancient door.

In the sound of friction between the door leaf and the edge of the door,
The door opened slowly, and Yura saw the old man standing behind the door waiting.

"I knew you, child, would not keep me waiting." Seeing Yula, the old man showed a kind smile.

Yula hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Master Grandpa."

"Come on, little Yula, you don't need to be cautious. The way you rushed out of the gate is the aura that a son and daughter of Lawrence should have." A trace of nostalgia flashed in the old man's seemingly cloudy eyes.

It's ridiculous to say that in these years, the most energetic scene for the children of the Lawrence family was when Yula obtained the [Ice Seal] and rushed out of the Lawrence family.

"Aren't you angry with me?" Yula asked without approaching the old man, still standing where she was.

The old man's calm face froze, and then he shook his head with a wry smile: "How can you not be angry, do you know? Little Yula, when you took off the [Ice Seal], I was so happy, so happy, I I even thought that the Lawrence family would be revived in your hands, but"

The old man's voice trembled slightly, and turned into a mournful whisper: "But you betrayed us. You rushed out of the Lawrence family, joined the Zephyr Knights, and joined our enemies. How painful it is for me."

Yula's expression is still calm, acting is also part of the nobleman's homework, no matter the joy or sadness, the nobleman can switch freely, if a nobleman like her grandfather really believed in his emotions, then Yula would not have been able to rush out of Lawrence's house.

Seeing Yura's unchanging expression,
The old man sighed slightly,

Why did such an excellent disciple join the Knights?

But those who stayed in the family were obsessed with past glory and couldn't even control their emotions.
