But she believed Rustam.

Rustam is a miracle.

"that person..."

After a long time, the lady opened her eyes and thought of the so-called Liyue people passing by that Qin mentioned.

"He must also know a lot about Rustam!"

"No matter how he got the water hour hand, now only through him can we know more things."

The lady's eyes became increasingly intense.

Her current urgency was simply stronger than completing the task assigned to her by the Queen.

Queen's mission?

Go aside!

She wants to meet that person, the guy who got the water hour hand, and maybe he knows Rustan's whereabouts.

The lady decided to use any means to pry out Rustan’s affairs from the other party’s mouth!

...

The chat between Qin and Su Chen went smoothly.

From Su Chen, she learned a lot about Rustan and what happened 500 years ago.

This information could not be found even if she searched through the entire knights' database, but Qin felt that Su Chen did not lie to her. After all, even Lisa said that she could completely trust Su Chen when it came to 'knowledge'.

It was during the conversation that Qin was a little dissatisfied with Su Chen's use of 'desperate fool' to describe Rustan.

You know, the heroic deeds she heard the most growing up were about Vanessa and Rustan.

The former worked with the Wind God to liberate Mondstadt and free the people of Mondstadt from the dark ages ruled by the old aristocracy.

The latter, who killed poisonous dragons and destroyed countless monsters, was even better than the most powerful leader in the history of the Knights.

That was the Knights, the heroes of Mondstadt.

Naturally, Qin would not allow others to insult the hero casually.

However, in response to her dissatisfaction, Su Chen just smiled and said nothing, and even invited her to drink an extra cup of black tea.

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

"Daughter, what are you looking for?"

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

The woman has a beautiful appearance, somewhat similar to Qin. She looks about 35 years old. She has a gentle temperament and a charming figure. She looks even more attractive under the nightgown.

Frederica Gunnhild.

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

"Rustan?"

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

"It has nothing to do with me personally, but it may be helpful to my matter. 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 She wanted to get to know and understand the former hero, the person she admired.

"You can't find it like this."

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

"follow me."

Qin followed him curiously.

Arriving at the innermost part of the study, Frederica fumbled a few times.

A secret door opened.

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

"Regarding Rustan, all the nobles in Mondstadt decided to seal it up. The ancestors of the family stored all the recorded matters here and told them not to show it to others, even the Gunnhild family. people."

Only the family heads of the past generations know the things here.

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

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

The darkroom was small and contained many ancient things. Qin found a notebook from a desk drawer inside.

The contents shocked her.

"The ancestor actually cooperated with Captain Rustan?"

It records what happened when Su Chen found out about the Gunnhild family, from revealing his identity, to conveying his will, to cooperating - the original head of the Gunnhild family played a huge role in Su Chen becoming the head of the Knights. .

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

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

Gunnhild's duty was to protect Mondstadt, and although the nobles in Mondstadt were not as corrupt as in the Darkest Age, they were not much better.

As one of the candidate group leaders, Rustam leads the Earthfire to secretly guard Mondstadt. His will coincides with that of Gunnhild, and it is not surprising that they cooperate with each other.

"This is the truth."

When Qin saw her ancestors recording Rustam's actions in Mondstadt, recruiting troops for Mondstadt, expanding its establishment, and strengthening its military, she was misunderstood by her people and forced to step down. Then she was attacked by a tide of dark beasts, and went to the deepest place alone, fighting the terror. The poisonous dragon fought and finally disappeared without a trace.

After disappearing for 500 years, he is naturally dead.

The book also mentioned that Rustam had a very good relationship with a girl named Rosalin.

"Rosalyn...is that the lady?"

Qin thought slightly.

It becomes clearer why the lady hates Mond.

At the beginning, Rustan was walking with the light, but he was trapped in darkness alone, with no one to understand and protect him.

Seeing this, Qin had the urge to make the truth known to the public.

Earth Fire is not evil, it is an extension of Rustan's will. Those who really deserve to be punished are the powerful people who covered up the truth and fooled the people.

Even Qin herself didn't notice it.

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

From today on, Dihuo will have one more 'friend'.

...

"Let that person come to see me. In exchange, the Fools will fully support you and use dealing with the dragon disaster as a reason to publicize. I think those people will support you whether it is within the Knights or within Mondstadt City."

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

Obviously, yesterday's so-called 'rejection' is no longer of concern now.

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

"Tell her that after this incident, I will find a time to meet with her." Su Chen said with a smile.

"Why can't we meet now?"

Jean was confused.

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

A passing Liyue person... was not only knowledgeable and excellent in various abilities, he even knew what happened 500 years ago, and was trusted by Lisa unconditionally?

"Not 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 it was also 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 from 500 years ago.

This is why Su Chen deliberately asked her to understand the truth 500 years ago.

...

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

As Gaelmer waited eagerly for the election day for the 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.

At first, after hearing the news, Gail Mai laughed three times and prepared to put on a new outfit to welcome 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."

"Process? How to deal with it?"

"Actually, the problem is very clear. We can start from 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 parents."

into the 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 me what to do? We have no way out now." A noble said.

"damn it!"
