I see myself in Genshin Impact

"When Jaina was in Xumi, the first year she went there was also the last year Kael'thas stayed. Kael'thas gave Jaina a lot of help, and he fell deeply in love with this little girl, and He confessed to her, but was rejected by Jaina because at that time she still liked Arthas in her heart."

"It's a pity that Alsace won the championship in the Stratholme Killing Competition this time. Jaina was completely disappointed with Alsace. The two broke up. She fell into a vacant state and was pursued by Kael'thas again."

"And Kael'thas is still a prince. Jaina has had a strong desire for power since she was a child, so the two naturally got together. Her father Daelin Proudmoore was also happy to see it happen, so he proposed that the two get engaged. .”

"Terenas is very dissatisfied with this matter. He knows that his son Arthas likes Jaina, but he cannot interfere at will, because Kael'thas technically belongs to the Sunstrider family, and naturally he only needs the Sunstrider family. Just agree there. In the end, out of sight and out of mind, Terenas received the victory notice from Alsace, so he left Mondstadt and took the Knights of the Silver Hand to the Whispering Forest. , welcoming the return of Alsace.”

"But he also sent someone the news of Jaina and Kael'thas's engagement. He hoped to give Arthas some more time so that he could think clearly on his way back and not cause trouble."

"Perhaps in the eyes of His Majesty Terenas Pendragon, his son Arthas is still the knight who is upright, kind-hearted, and yearns for the light."

"He didn't know that Arthas had already begun to be affected by the demonic residue in Frostmourne and had begun to fall. Although he knew about the Stratholme Killing Contest, as a king, he thought that Arthas He did it right, reducing the losses of the Mondstadt Empire, and he also eliminated the masterminds behind the scenes, Kel'Thuzad's Cult of the Curse, as well as some of the Apostles of the Abyss led by Abyss! This is a great victory!"

"It would be a pity that such a good son should not be the king, hey..."

"This is what Terenas thought, and he wrote truthfully in the letter: 'You have done a good job, I will always be proud of you, my son! If you are not a king, then you should not be a king. Although it is a pity, but as a The lord is not bad either...' Such words of encouragement."

"He hoped that Arthas would accept the reality, because when he left Mondstadt this time, he didn't even keep the Star Crown with him. Instead, he used a pair of ordinary golden crowns and came to the Whispering Forest like a private visit incognito. "

Chapter 223: The King of Knights: The First Life·The Lich King

"This old man really doesn't pick up the pot!" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"Is there such a father? His son's girlfriend is engaged to his godson, and he actually persuades his son to let go. It's really outrageous that his mother opened the door to Li Bu - it's so outrageous!" - Liyue Villager A.

"Maybe King Terenas has also made some efforts, but people always change as they grow up. For example, Jaina has changed." - Fontaine Villager A.

"Don't always put the blame on Jaina, okay? History is written by the victors, who knows... Huh? The victors? Isn't the victor the Morgan family?" - Xumi Villager A.

"Yes, why does that family seem to have lost its voice now..." - Inazuma Villager A.

"I don't make it..." - Villager B of Liyue.

"Anyway, when things have evolved to this point, no one is innocent, even the Legenfund and Morgan families who are watching from the sidelines! If you don't believe it, just watch! Seeking death, constantly seeking death, playing with fire one by one* *, one day someone will overturn the table!" - Mondstadt Villager B.

Everyone complained about this matter, but the video continued and Merlin's story was not over yet.

"Before the soldiers repaired the ship, a member of the Lawrence family suddenly appeared next to Alsace. He told Alsace that his family and the Menethil family still had many secret troops maintaining in the Whispering Forest. Let him not worry too much about what happened in the Whispering Forest. As long as Arthas returns, it won't take long to revive the Whispering Forest and even rebuild Stratholme in the future. The Lawrence family will provide him with huge financial support. of."

"And Arthas also became curious at this time. What happened to his family in the past? Why is it that his father is the king, but as his only son, he is not the next heir, but Kyle of the Sunstrider family? Saas is here to be the prince? Could it be that Kael'thas is his father's illegitimate son?"

"He can accept this statement himself. After all, Kael'thas and Alsace are different in the first word, and there is no other difference. Anyway, he has never seen Kael'thas. He heard that he also has blond hair, and he is probably the same as himself. Almost? Although my hair has changed color now."

"Hearing Alsace's question, the Lawrence family just smiled mysteriously and told him not to worry about so much and just be his own lord. As for the position of the king, maybe his son or his grandson will have it in the future. There may be a chance, because a new storm is coming..."

"In this game, the Lawrence family is indeed slightly inferior. As expected of the Gunnhild family, they are very cunning, but they will not give up..."

"After leaving these words, the Lawrence family members left the army and disappeared into the wind and snow, leaving behind a confused Alsace."

"He didn't know what the truth was, but suddenly a voice whispered in his ear - If you can't get it, grab it! Whether it's the throne or the queen!"

"This is the influence of the demon god's residue. A secondary personality was born in Alsace's body and began to compete with Alsace for control of his body!"

"But he is still very weak, so he will use various methods to affect Alsace's body and let him continue to fall until he embraces the darkness!"

"Oh no! It's the Lawrence family again!" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"You didn't come here earlier, you didn't come later, and you didn't come out until after the battle?" - Mondstadt villager B.

"While Alsace is working hard in front, there are a large number of people behind you watching the fun?" - Mondstadt villager C.

"As expected, he is the biggest troublemaker in Mondstadt! No matter which world he is in!" - Mondstadt villager D.

"I think Arthas's heart is broken at this time. I even picked up Frostmourne. You told me that there is a mine at home?" - Mondstadt villager E.

Different from the complaints in the barrage, Yu Piaoling in the video raised his head and asked: "Sub-personality? Are you saying he has a mental problem?"

"What do you say?"

Merlin chuckled.

"I guess he never had a problem."

Yu Piaoling said firmly.

"Yes, but the news I got said that Alsace had a mental problem at that time - pfft... I laughed to death, um, don't look at me like that, I just remembered that I was happy matter."

Merlin waved his hand and smiled, his attitude was quite exaggerated.

"Well, I understand."

Yu Piaoling nodded and murmured: "It's so convenient, it's a mental problem."

Merlin nodded "Yeah!" and sighed: "Yeah, it's really convenient, isn't it?"

Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Merlin was satisfied with Yu Piaoling's growth, while Yu Piaoling knew a method that could be used.

[Perhaps when you avoid something or make wrong decisions in the future, you can blame it on mental problems...]

This is how Yupiaoling thought of using it.

As for whether Merlin said Arthas was truly corrupted or mentally ill, that didn't matter at all.

As long as he thinks he has a mental problem, does it matter what other people think?You can't prove it anyway, so it's impossible to pin unfounded charges on him.

But Yu Piaoling also understands that when a person starts to cover up with mental problems, then that person may be unscrupulous, and all the filth of human nature will be thrown into it!

This was a method that could only be used as a last resort. It was obvious that Jaina's engagement had deeply affected Arthas, but Yu Piaoling still did not understand Merlin's words.

Sister Rosalia needs to stay away from herself, why?Sister Rosalia is not Gianna. Does she have such a strong desire for power? The two of them are obviously not the same person.

While thinking, he continued to listen to Merlin.

"Looking at the excited soldiers repairing the ship, Alsace did not feel the joy of victory at all. When everything was over, the expressionless prince left his bewildered comrades far behind. The lonely figure also disappeared into the wind and snow of Northrend..."

"The news revealed in the words of the members of the Laurence family, coupled with the news sent by His Majesty King Terenas, hit Arthas's heart. He began to hate it all. He thought it was caused by his lack of strength, so he Thirst for more powerful power - the abyss!"

"Deep in the Northrend Icecrown Glacier, Arthas learned the extremely terrifying dark magic through the books left by the remaining members of the Abyss Order. It is a completely different magic network from the magic network taught by the Sumeru Order—— Life magic!"

"After combining with the demonic remnants in Frostmourne, Arthas learned how to use this power. He finally understood that if he wanted to become a king, there was only one way to go."

"So he returned to the place where the ship was being repaired and slaughtered all the soldiers and knights. With the help of the demonic remnants in Frostmourne, every soldier he killed would be transformed into a zombie that obeyed his orders! Always new An army appears in hand, and this army has only one master - Alsace."

"They don't need to eat, drink, rest, and are not afraid of death. Wherever they pass, they will automatically absorb energy from the earth's veins and enter their bodies to make up for the energy consumed. This is an army that can never be defeated. !”

"Their names were named by Alsace - the Scourge of the Undead!"

"And Arthas has truly fallen. He calls himself the Lich King!"

Chapter 224: The King of Knights: The Speculations of the First Merlin

"Merlin, just because of Jaina's engagement, will it have such a big impact?"

After hearing that Arthas transformed into the Lich King, killed all his men, and transformed into a natural disaster of the undead, Yu Piaoling looked at Merlin in disbelief and asked, "This... this is too outrageous!"

"That's outrageous, isn't it? Then I'll give you another time, half a year..."

Merlin shook his head and added: "It took half a year from the beginning of the plague to the time Arthas became the Lich King. During this half year, he did not receive any help. All actions It is all relying on his own personality charm and the support of the Whispering Forest. In his opinion, he has used up everything, but now, he has gained everything again."

"..."

Yu Piaoling reluctantly accepted Merlin's words. Although it was still very abrupt, he knew how terrible the impact of the artifact was, just like the dragon factor fused in his soul. It was the crystallization of Lady Vanessa's will to protect Mondstadt. , this kind of thing is in his soul, and Yu Piaoling also knows that he has become different from his past self. At least when he accepted Merlin's mission of protecting Mondstadt as a matter of course, he did not have any resistance!

If it was something rotten that was filled with the residue of the devil, as long as Arthas had a dark thought, he would go on without stopping!

"Alsace asked the Scourge of the Undead to cover their faces with hats, and led the army to abandon the ships and return to Mondstadt across the sea. He took the lead and walked in front. When his feet stepped on the cold water, it would instantly freeze and form a An ice tunnel several meters long and wide, which would not thaw until the elemental power dissipated, allowed his soldiers to return to the territory of Mondstadt. And this is the power given by the artifact-Frostmourne! This is the power of the past simple What he cannot do with the Ice God's Eye is that the elemental power lasts for at least a day and a night! He is already approaching the realm of the Demon God at this time."

"After returning to the castle in the Whispering Forest, Terenas sat on the high platform, surrounded by knights of the Silver Hand guarding him, and many nobles from the Lawrence family were also inside. Although he was surprised by Alsace's golden long His hair turned silver, but he lamented that it would have been better if it had not turned green..."

"However, the development of things was unexpected. After Arthas paid a visit to his father, he seemed to be affected by Frostmourne. He stood up, walked straight to His Majesty Terenas, and took out Frostmourne from the Eye of God. , amidst everyone’s horrified faces, a sword pierced the chest of Terenas Pendragon!”

"Looking at the disbelieving father in front of him, Arthas smiled slightly - this throne should have been mine!"

"The old king's body slumped on the throne. He did not know what Arthas meant until his death, and the bloody crown rolled to the floor."

"Alsace turned to look at everyone in the hall, and then raised his sword. The undead scourges who were ambushing outside immediately rushed in and slaughtered all the people inside like chopping melons and vegetables!"

"Then Arthas transformed them into the legion of the Undead Scourge and asked them to issue an order to recruit all the knights from the Whispering Forest. He wanted to attack Mondstadt!"

"But there is no airtight wall in the world, and his actions were finally noticed. Uther Lightbringer learned the whole news. He felt like he was struck by lightning and couldn't believe it. He immediately led a few people of Silver The Knights of the Hand rushed to the Whispering Forest and found that the old king Terenas really died here, so he was angry and went to Alsace to ask for an explanation, but he was killed by Alsace with a sword!"

"At this point, Arthas lost his father, teacher, and girlfriend, and gained an army that would always be loyal to him, as well as a steady stream of knights coming from the Lawrence family and the Sunstrider family."

"..."

Merlin sighed. Arthas had reached this point and could no longer look back.

"Didn't Arthas kill the others in the Whispering Woods?"

Yu Piaoling asked curiously: "Why not kill everyone?"

"Because what he desires is not just the kingdom of kings. The Scourge of the Undead will become one of his secret troops in the future, and he will eventually become the king of Mondstadt. As one of the seven major forces in the Teyvat continent, he cannot be shaken. In other countries, if he is half-dead and known to other forces, he will probably be attacked by a group. If he has been trained by the king since childhood, he is very clear about the consequences of this."

After Merlin finished explaining, he turned his head and glanced at Yu Piaoling, and added: "Oh, by the way, Alsace's current state is similar to yours. They are both in an un**** state. If he becomes The king of the Mondstadt Empire will continue to rule. It's really strange. You two are really similar in every sense. Of course, I hope your future girlfriend won't run away with someone else, hahahaha …”

"What are you talking about!" When Yu Piaoling heard Merlin's words, he stood up angrily and kicked Merlin's calf, making him scream and jump with his calf in his arms.

"The difference between Arthas and me is that I have the oracle of Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind. I will be a correct king in the future and rule Mondstadt forever... Arthas and I are not the same at all!"

Finally, Yu Piaoling said this.

"Well, maybe."

Merlin smiled slightly, then his face suddenly turned ugly, and he suddenly guessed something.

[Could it be that Lord Barbatos, the god of wind a hundred years ago, was aware of Alsace's current state, so he allowed the situation to develop and allowed Alsace to continue to act recklessly?Even if Arthas wins the battle in the future, he will continue to rule. Can Arthas put aside his dark face and continue to rule with a great and upright attitude forever?In this way, Lord Barbatos can relax easily without taking action? 】

[Furthermore, there is no way that Barbatos, the god of wind, would not be aware of Alsace's every move, let alone the artifact-level Frostmourne unleashing its power unscrupulously in Mondstadt. The god of wind never stopped him, no matter what Northrend said. She actually knows everything about Mondstadt's territory, the Abyss Order's actions, the Lawrence family's informants, and the Sunstrider family's actions...]

[Even if Alsace had other ideas in the end, he was so weak that he was no match for Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind. Alsace could be wiped out with a snap of his fingers... So Alsace unintentionally became the God of Wind at that time. Your lord's chess piece, a test to see if the eternal king is a viable path? 】

[The Dragon Factor has already absorbed the legend. The energy contained in it is so huge that it is not inferior to Frostmourne. The two are completely of the same magnitude, but one is the remnant of the Demon God and the other is the guardian. Mondstadt's will...]

Thinking of this, Merlin did not continue telling the story, but continued to think about it.

Chapter 225: The King of Knights: The First Life·The Light of the Wind Eagle Sword

[Could the incident in Arthas be a preview of what is happening in Artoria now? 】

Merlin was horrified when he thought about it carefully. The more he thought about this matter, the more he felt that there was quite a bit of confusion in it.

[If Arthas wins, he will rule Mondstadt and become an unstoppable king. Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, will find long-lasting peace...]

[Even if Arthas failed in the end and lost to Kael'thas in the battle for the throne, it would only prove that Kael'thas has better methods. When the time comes, Mondstadt will still continue, just like raising voodoo, Alsace How is Sastianhu's start? Kael'thas is not a grassroots counterattack!Don't forget that he went to study at the Xumi Order, and obtained the Eye of God a few years later than Alsace, but at this time in Mondstadt, the Crown of Stars was still in his hands!As long as he makes good use of the Star Crown, Kael'thas still has the possibility of winning. This is an evenly matched battle, very fair! 】

[At this time, Arthas thought that he was in a favorable situation. When the time came, he would lead his men into Mondstadt and kill Kael'thas, so that he could successfully seize the throne. He was dreaming! 】

[How much thought did Mr. Barbatos, the god of wind, put on this stage in secret? 】

[And why did Master Fengshen stage such a scene, even later overturning the chessboard, allowing Master Tvarin to enter the game, and remotely control the development of the situation... to make the Mondstadt Empire decline so much in the next hundred years? 】

[Is it possible that the current precarious situation of the Mondstadt Empire is really just an appearance?And this is just a new situation born after the grudges ended a hundred years ago. In fact, there is no new situation, it is all fake. From beginning to end, the incident a hundred years ago has not ended at all! 】

[The Abyss Cult...hiss...it is impossible for Master Fengshen to be involved with them, so is she using them? 】

Merlin turned his head and looked at Yu Piaoling who was still kicking the table with his little feet, and thought worriedly [Silly boy, weakness and ignorance are not the biggest obstacles to survival, arrogance is. Have you really noticed this weird situation? ?You don't really think I'm telling a story, do you?Wake up, that's not a story, it's real history! 】

Merlin, who did not dare to speak directly, thought of Lisa Morgan Pendragon with concern at this time. Unlike Kael'thas, she had exhausted all the energy in the Star Crown. In theory, she could Yu Piaoling, who has the wind god's oracle, has no advantage at all!

Yu Piaoling now has the artifact integrated into his body, and in the future he will have the artifact Sword in the Stone, plus the justifiable Oracle of the Wind God, and will have his own assistants by then. Who can shake his rule from the front and back?

[There is no reason to strengthen it like this... If you want an invincible king, wouldn't it be enough to just add the dragon factor and the wind god's oracle?People in the Mondstadt Empire will obey the words of Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind. Why prepare so many things that may not be used in the future? 】

Merlin was puzzled by this, because he found that Yupiaoling had been strengthened a bit too much. It was not to deal with Lisa Morgan Pendragon, but to deal with the Demon War!

In the end, Merlin, who had found nothing, had to put away his thoughts. He vaguely thought of what he had just said to Yu Piaoling, that he would not be like Uther and would stay with his disciple forever, supporting him in his progress. He felt that he had established a FLAG.

[Whether you can keep it or not is not a word from Master Fengshen...]

"Merlin? Don't you want to continue?"

Seeing Merlin's expression changing, Yu Piaoling frowned and asked. Because he hadn't heard the story yet, he asked directly. As for what Merlin was thinking, he knew that he wouldn't tell him even if he asked, so he probably wouldn't tell him. They are all dark and cruel things... He is not interested in these.

"Oh? Oh! Keep going...just keep going."

Merlin came to his senses, patted his head, smiled at Yu Piaoling, collected his thoughts, and continued talking.

"After Alsace gathered his army, he announced to the outside world that Kael'thas was an illegitimate son who came from nowhere and used despicable means to usurp his princely status. Now he secretly took advantage of his father to visit him. Black Hand sent assassins to kill him, and wanted to blame this incident on himself!"

"So all the forces in the Whispering Forest were filled with righteous indignation to avenge the old king, to clear Alsace's name, and to get rid of that despicable guy Kael'thas. In just three days, Alsace brought about [-] soldiers with him. The knights set off, their swords pointed at Mondstadt."

"With Frostmourne's divine power and enough soldiers under his command, Alsace's offensive was extremely fierce. He demolished all the bunkers and outposts along the way. In less than a week, he arrived at Mondstadt!"
