Chapter 229 King of Knights: The First Life: Tevarin Buying Wine

"Thall led his troops to attack Alsace, which put him in a dilemma as he was caught in the Dadaupa Valley. He was exhausted from being attacked from both sides. Kael'thas seized the opportunity and desperately held back the front of Alsace. The battlefield allowed Thrall to cut off Alsace's supply line with overwhelming force."

"But the Lawrence family can no longer lose this war at this time. They have sacrificed everything for the throne this time, so in the Whispering Forest, the best of the Lawrence family came out, planning to attack the rear of Mondstadt and cut off Thrall's Supply lines!”

"It just so happened that Jaina also led the remaining Mondstadt Guard Knights to attack at this time, and met the troops of the Whispering Forest in the Land of Wind, and the two sides began to fight."

"Obviously, Alsace is at a disadvantage, Kael'thas is second, and Thrall has the best advantage at this time, but that's when the moth appears."

"Alsace unexpectedly discovered a path in the Dadaupa Valley that can lead directly to the Land of the Wind!"

"Based on the recent battle situation, as long as he did not show up during the day, Kael'thas would not show up either. Arthas decided to call a truce the next day. He led an ambush that night and secretly came to Fengqi Land to try to fight with Lawrence. The family’s forces converged to carry out their own plans.”

"But the keen Jaina discovered him, so she immediately wrote a letter to Kael'thas and asked Thrall to rush back to Windrise!"

"Kael'thas originally thought that Arthas was still in the camp and recovering from his injuries, so he didn't fight the next day. However, after receiving the news from Jaina, he realized that the opponent's camp was empty, so he immediately led A large force came out of the city to attack Alsace's camp, and sure enough, the opponent was defeated and fled. As expected, Alsace was not in the camp, so Kael'thas immediately led his people to the Wind Rises."

"Jaina knew that Arthas had the artifact at this time, so she couldn't act rashly, so she pretended not to notice Arthas and planned to take advantage of him."

"Who would have thought that Alsace had no intention of fighting in Fengqi Land? In this year's war, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Most of the corpses were left near the Dadaupa Valley. He has been secretly preparing a plan. Plan, so he asked the Lawrence family to go to Dadaupa Valley through a secret passage, while he was the last one to set off, cutting off the back road!"

"Thall rushed back to Fengqi Land and rushed away. At this time, only Jaina herself was left in Fengqi Land, so he immediately led people to Dadaupa Valley, leaving only Jaina and a few people to return. Arriving in Mondstadt, Thrall realized that the moment of decisive battle might have come."

"Sure enough, when Thrall arrived in the Dadaupa Valley and met up with Kael'thas, both sides were surprised to find that neither of them saw Alsace. At this time, Alsace and his Lawrence's troops seemed to have disappeared into the Dadaoupa Valley, but the defeated army of Alsace was scattered, making it difficult to find their escape direction."

"This is natural, because Alsace did not tell his subordinates where he would go after leaving, so his subordinates were really confused after the defeat and could only wander around in the Dadaupa Valley."

"Thall and Kael'thas went crazy and sent their men to search for the missing Alsace. The two did not fight. It was also because the threat from Alsace was too great. In addition, Thrall's manpower was still needed. So Kael'thas restrained himself very much."

"Thall also knew the reason why Kael'thas, who was holding the artifact in his hand, did not take action at this time, so the temporary cooperation at this time was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, but he had to bite the bullet and go on, and things gradually turned around. ”

"It turns out that Alsace has already encountered several defeated soldiers. He was not disturbed when he learned that the camp was destroyed, because tonight, he will release the demonic remnants in the artifact!"

"After a year-long war, the power of the artifact has been on the verge of exhaustion, so only the remnants of the demon inside can be used. In addition, as the controller of this power, he can completely control it. A dark thought appeared in him in my mind."

"Since I can't get it, then I will completely destroy them! The plan to eliminate Kael'thas and Thrall's living forces here - with the help of the power of the Undead Scourge!"

"Alsace has killed all the Lawrence family's men and turned them into natural disasters of the undead. He has also begun to go out to carry corpses back at night. In addition, this place was originally a huge corpse pit. Alsace gained tens of thousands of people in one night. Men!"

"However, the Demon God's residue is not endless. There will be times when it is consumed. After transforming tens of thousands of subordinates, Frostmourne is on the verge of breaking. This means that both the divine power and the Demon God's residue are on the verge of exhaustion!"

"Looking at the last troops in front of him, but they were also immortal troops. With Alsace confident in his mind, he surrounded Kael'thas and Thrall the next morning and ordered the immortal troops to charge towards each other!"

"Kael'thas and Thrall looked at each other and smiled. They thought that Arthas, who had the smallest number of troops at this time, was completely confused. How could he have the right to surround himself with so many people! Kael'thas waved his hands and ordered the soldiers to fight, but when the soldiers When the charge collided with the undead scourge, a strange scene broke his smile."

"It turns out that the soldiers of Alsace are not afraid of life and death at this time. Unless they chop off the opponent's head, they will attack endlessly. No matter how many arrows are stuck in their bodies or how many holes are poked by spears, they will not be able to do anything. Stop them!"

"As long as one's own soldiers are bitten by the opponent, they will immediately become the opponent's people, switch sides in an instant, and attack their own comrades!"

"Seeing that the situation was not good, Kael'thas immediately picked up the Crown of Stars and activated the energy on it to form a huge protective shield to protect the surrounding armies and prevent the attack of the undead natural disaster."

"Thall angrily accused Arthas of getting involved in power that he should not touch. This power will destroy him and bring terrible disaster to Mondstadt!"

"However, Arthas has fallen into madness. He picked up Frostmourne and rushed over. With a sword, he cut through the protective shield of the Star Crown. The surrounding undead natural disasters took the opportunity to rush into the protective shield. It turned out that the energy of the Star Crown was no longer enough. In order to support the consumption of such a huge protective shield, Kael'thas had no choice but to reduce the scope of the protective shield. This operation directly exposed Thrall's troops, who were polluted by Arthas' undead natural disaster and turned into the same zombies!"

"Seeing this, Thrall was furious. He scolded Kael'thas for betraying his allies, but Kael'thas mocked him contemptuously: 'Ally, who is your ally? You are just a piece of shit who has been lucky enough to show off your power here. You're a waste, if it weren't for me, you would be dead now!' After hearing this, Sal's face turned red and he wanted to refute but was unable to do so because he was also protected by a protective shield at the moment."

"In the end, there were more and more zombies, and Kael'thas was so worried that he decided to take the risk of shrinking the protective shield to himself, and then went to fight Alsace in person, because the artifact in Alsace's hand was about to break, and he only needed to kill it. Cut it off, and Kael'thas will win the final victory!"

"His thoughts are beautiful, but the reality is very skinny."

"Kael'thas is from the Xumi Order. He is not good at close combat, especially when his opponent is a master like Alsace who has been training as a knight since he was a child."

"In the past few years, although Kael'thas began to make up for his mistakes, he still overestimated himself. In this year's battle, he used the Star Crown as a defensive cover most of the time, and never had any fight with Arthas. Survive hand-to-hand combat!”

"So after Kael'thas rushed forward, Thrall immediately commanded the remaining troops to organize a defense line and waited for Kael'thas' victory. However, he unexpectedly saw Kael'thas and Alsace fighting in close combat for a few times. The flying scene!”

"Thall is keenly aware that Kael'thas is probably not suitable for close combat, and this also gives him the confidence to make a comeback!"

"But if he wants to achieve this goal, he needs a prerequisite, that is, Alsace must die!"

"Otherwise, even if Kael'thas is killed, it will be meaningless, because the final winner will still be Arthas. Thrall doesn't think he can win if he gets the Star Crown!"

"Fortunately, Lady Luck is on his side this time, because the turning point he needs has arrived."

Merlin glanced at Yu Piaoling and asked with a smile, "Can you guess who is coming?"

"No, but I know it's definitely not you."

Yu Piaoling also smiled and said: "Okay, don't be too pretentious, Merlin, it can't be Master Fengshen who shows up, right?"

"How could it be? This matter is not worthy of the Lord's personal action."

Merlin shook his head and said, "He is a descendant of Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind. Lord Tvarin has appeared!"

"And it, on the surface, came out to buy wine for Lord Barbatos~"

Chapter 230 King of Knights: The First Thrall**

"Buying wine?" Yu Piaoling frowned and asked, "What a coincidence?"

"Yes, it's such a coincidence. It seems that Master Fengshen ran out of wine, so Master Tevalin came out to buy wine for her."

Merlin smiled slightly, and then continued to tell the end of the story, and this lesson was about to end.

"Lord Tevalin was hovering in the sky, yelling at the people below to stop, but at this time Arthas was already red-eyed and didn't care about Lord Tevarin's attitude. He was going to take the opportunity to kill Kael'thas, but Arthas was killed. Lord Valin sensed the aura of the abyss in him, and it snarled at Arthas."

"You are tainted with the breath of the abyss and are not worthy to be the king of Mondstadt!"

"When Arthas heard this, he immediately turned around and ran away. He took the last power in the artifact into his body and fled as fast as a meteor and lightning. Lord Tvarin flapped his wings and chased after him."

"When Kael'thas saw this scene, he stood up happily after wandering around on the edge of death. While vomiting blood, he loudly announced to Arthas who was escaping - Hahahaha, I am the one who wins in the end!"

"But Thrall seized the opportunity at this time. He took advantage of Kael'thas's back to him and did not use the Star Crown to protect himself, and threw the warhammer in his hand fiercely!"

"With a pop, Kael'thas' head was smashed to pieces. Thrall took the opportunity to run over and pick up the Star Crown, and held it in his hand."

"As the legitimate successor of Vanessa, it is natural to easily activate the energy of the Star Crown. He raised his head and laughed - now, the final winner is me!"

"The soldiers of the Gunnhild family and the Sunstrider family couldn't believe it when they saw this scene. They thought victory was just around the corner, but they didn't expect that they would be picked off by Thrall, a guy who pretended to be a fool!"

"So they angrily yelled at Thrall, scolding him for being despicable and shameless. Such behavior is not worthy of being the descendant of Lady Vanessa, let alone the king of Mondstadt!"

"But Thrall has already obtained the Star Crown. All he needs to do next is to block the news. After seeing Gunnhild's reaction, he also smiled contemptuously and waved his hands. People from the Morgan family and the Morgan family gathered around him, and then he used the Star Crown to create a protective shield, keeping his own people inside, and watched with cold eyes as Gunnhild and the people from the Sunstrider family were surrounded by the undead natural disaster, and died tragically. far away."

After saying this, Merlin glanced at Yu Piaoling deliberately. After seeing his expressionless face, he nodded secretly. He was very satisfied with this.

He hoped that Yu Piaoling would not be kindhearted when he ascended the throne in the future, and it was best not to harbor meaningless kindness. The fight for the throne was so cruel. Thrall's actions were indeed criticized, but it was also his fault to let down his guard at that time. wrong.

Because Kael'thas drifted away, he lost his only chance. As he said, the one who laughs in the end is the king.

In order to block the news, it was necessary for Thrall to give the Gunnhild family and the Sunstrider family a final cold look. At that time, Mondstadt had already entered a year of chaos. If the fight continued, it would probably lead to division, so in order to maintain Orthodoxy, Thrall should do this kind of thing.

If he takes action to save the members of the Gunnhild family and the Sunstrider family, it will only cause more lasting chaos in the future.

"After Lord Tvarin killed Arthas, he flew back to Dadaupa Valley. Looking at the undead scourge still raging below, he helplessly opened his mouth and spat out the Frostmourne dropped by Arthas. Then Frostmourne recovered the demonic remnants below, and then stopped their behavior, causing them to turn into dust. Then Lord Tvarin collected Frostmourne."

"After seeing this, Thrall put away the Star Crown, walked under Tvarin, raised his head and looked at the other party, waiting for the other party's words."

"I just came out to buy drinks. Now that it's over, it's time for me to leave..."

"Tvarin looked at Thrall deeply, dropped these words, turned around and flew towards the Thousand Winds Temple."

"Then Thrall began to clean up the battlefield and spread the news."

"After Arthas killed Kael'thas, he prepared to unify Mondstadt. Thrall took the opportunity to pick up the Star Crown, killed Arthas, and protected the peace of Mondstadt!"

"Then Thrall gathered his army, returned to Mondstadt, and was crowned king."

"After this battle, the Morgan family became the new royal family of the Mondstadt Empire, and no other royal family can compete with them."

"The Legenfund family has since become estranged from the Morgan family, and due to the heavy casualties, many of those who participated in the decisive battle of Dadaupa Valley died for unknown reasons in the following ten years. , the outside world rumored that the ghosts of Arthas and Kaelthas were scaring them, so the Legenfund family changed its name to the Kai family, and slowly left the center of power in the Mondstadt Empire."

"Inside the Dadaupa Valley, the remaining members of the Gunnhild family did not know the truth and thought that Arthas killed Kael'thas, so they were very grateful to Thrall. However, because of the excessive casualties among the family's elites, they also After withdrawing from the center of Mondstadt and beginning to recuperate in the Dadaupa Valley, the remnants of the Sunstrider family moved away, and it is said that they went to the border of Mondstadt and Liyue, near the Shimen, and lived in secret."

"And the Lawrence family disappeared completely, and the Menethil family was also sent to the frontier, and was destroyed by the Qiuqiu people not long after."

"In order to prevent this from happening again in the Mondstadt Empire in the future, Thrall ordered the news to be blocked and all the private records about that year to be burned. As a result, the Whispering Forest was ruined."

"In the Dadaupa Valley, the Gunhild family received an order from Sal Pendragon to block the news, so they changed their name to the Gawain family. After that, due to unknown reasons, the number of people in their family became smaller and smaller. Finally, There are no more members of their family living in the Daupa Valley.”

"However, many people in Mondstadt have the surname Gawain, so it will be very difficult to find the original Gunnhild family members a hundred years later."

"After Thrall returned to Mondstadt and proclaimed himself king, everyone was very convinced of him because he had the Crown of Stars in his hand. After the death the next day, Jaina accompanied him as the queen. In view of the fact that Thrall was at this time The troops were scarce, so she took the opportunity to let the navy join the city of Mondstadt. Since then, Mondstadt has abolished the navy, but is unified under the management of the knights. This move really allowed Thrall, who was short of troops at the time, to untie his heart. Worrying, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Mondstadt Empire is already very empty after this battle."

"After this internal conflict, although there is no news from a hundred years ago within the Mondstadt Empire, other countries in Teyvat know it very well and still have their own records. Although they don't know how Thrall won without the artifact, but They still got the information about the appearance of Lord Tvarin, the follower of the Wind God. It must be the news that Thrall secretly spread to the outside world."

After saying this, Merlin let out a long sigh and made the final conclusion.

"Since then, due to civil strife, the Mondstadt Empire has become sparse in troops, and its control over the surrounding areas has gradually weakened. Especially after the three old nobles and two new nobles have all left, the Morgan family alone is unable to hold on to such a huge empire. , although the descendants of the Morgan family continued to recruit troops to maintain their rule, forces in other places also took this opportunity to gradually emerge, and eventually competed with Mondstadt. As a result, His Majesty Uther Pendragon is now barely able to dominate the country with the Crown of Stars. On the surface, he is a nominal king."

"The reason why they did not openly rebel is that one is because they don't know how much power is left in the Crown of Stars, and the other reason is the attitude of Master Fengshen. You must know that the appearance of Master Tevalin a hundred years ago is really too coincidental. Many People suspect that Lord Barbatos may have the tacit approval behind that battle. She may want Kael'thas to succeed to the throne, or she may be planning something to consume the power of the abyss. Of course, this is what we cannot know. "

"I only know that Lord Barbatos is on good terms with Morax, the god of gold in Liyue. When Mondstadt was in such serious civil strife, the other party did not take advantage of it, but treated every force fairly, including Thrall. ·After Pendragon came to power and signed a contract with Liyue Seven Stars to continue some previous cooperation policies, the other party's attitude did not change at all..."

Chapter 231: The King of Knights: The First Life·Zhongli’s Views

As Merlin's words came to an end, Yu Piao Ling fell into deep thought. He was recalling the entire lesson just now, while Merlin took the opportunity to pour a cup of tea and drink it. While moistening his throat, he also planned to give Yu Piao Ling some time.

He was very much looking forward to Yu Piao Ling being able to enlighten the story just now. He had put many important things into it, more or less hints, and unstated hints.

As for how much he can comprehend, it depends on Yu Piao Ling himself.

The video slowly paused here, but the barrage increased. Many people expressed their thoughts in the barrage, although some were one-sided but intuitive.

"Oh no, why do I feel like this is a game?" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"Isn't it that Lord Fengshen from another world wants to choose Kael'thas? You see, after he got the Star Crown, everything went smoothly, but he relaxed his vigilance at the last moment and Thrall seized the opportunity! Otherwise He will be the king of Mondstadt!" - Mondstadt Villager B.

"Why do I suspect it's Arthas? You see, after Arthas got Frostmourne and came into contact with the Abyss, Master Fengshen didn't do anything to him for the next year. He must be expecting that the other party will abandon the power of the Abyss in the future?" ——Mondstadt villager C.

"But why can't it be Thrall? If it is really Kael'thas, Lord Tvarin should be angry at Thrall's sneak attack and kill Kael'thas. Since it has no reaction, it means that it should be Saar by default. You are right." - Mondstadt villager D.

"Maybe it really just went out to buy wine. Are you all overthinking it?" - Mondstadt villager E.

"Shouldn't the one who laughs last be Jaina? I suspect she is very ambitious!" - Mondstadt villager F.

"Such a change has taken place in Mondstadt in the parallel world. No wonder the Leggenfend family and the Gunnhild family have changed their surnames. The reason is that they suffered heavy casualties fighting for the throne a hundred years ago." - Mondstadt villager G.

While the barrage was noisy and everyone was expressing their opinions, other high-level forces on the Teyvat continent also expressed their opinions on this story.

Compared with ordinary people, as high-level officials, they have experienced more political struggles and have more experience in this area.

Liyue·Yuehaiting

"Master Fengshen in the parallel world seems to have no support from anyone..."

The first one to speak was Ke Qing. Even though she was young, she had been working as a member of the Seven Stars of Liyue for more than five years. She had seen a lot about the dark side of politics. She listened to the whole story of Merlin very seriously. , so he was the first to publish his own conclusion.

"Well, my opinion is the same as Keqing's."

The next person to speak was Ning Guang. It was rare that she had the same opinion as Ke Qing, but she still gave an example to explain: "As a dependent of Lord Fengshen, Tevalin's appearance is just to finish. At the end, Sal and It doesn’t matter who becomes the king of Kael’thas. As for Arthas, he actually had a chance, but unfortunately the time limit was delayed and Tevalin had to appear to deal with him.”

The other secretaries of Yuehaiting looked at the two of them with strange expressions. It seemed that they were slightly at odds before the video started. Why are they talking the same thing now?At this time, they all had the idea that the Seven Stars of Liyue were indeed unfathomable.

Only Gan Yu's eyes moved slightly and remained silent beside her. Although she had some opinions, she didn't say them out. She didn't want to publicly break the two people's opinions.

And she has these unique views because she has been Qixing's secretary for a long time and knows some secrets that Qixing doesn't know.

In her heart, she believed that Lord Barbatos in the parallel world should have been optimistic about Arthas from the beginning. If the other party had not suddenly planned to create a permanent king, then Arthas would have unintentionally become the best experiment. The target, although the opponent cannot enter Mondstadt due to the obstruction of the Wind Eagle Sword, the loophole is there.

That is, Kael'thas took the Star Crown away from Mondstadt and went to Dadaupa Valley. As an artifact made by Barbatos himself, she should be able to change it remotely, so if Arthas successfully killed Kael'thas If Si gets the Star Crown, she can use the Star Crown to ignore the Wind Eagle Sword and obtain permission to enter Mondstadt. From then on, an immortal king appears, and she doesn't even need to show up in person.

Of course, Gan Yu couldn't 100% guess Barbatos's accurate thoughts, because after all, it involved an abyss.

Now from a higher dimension, judging from the past that the ultimate profiteer was the mastermind, there seems to be no real winner. The Morgan family got the throne. The result was that Mond was torn apart, and the earlier Menethil family was even more This is outrageous. Merlin did not explain at all why Terenas agreed to Kael'thas's request for the throne. This should not make sense. What's more, the two sides have been preparing for war for more than ten years, and he did not say anything about the details of the secret confrontation. There are too many places to guess.

But even so, Gan Yu agrees with Merlin's lesson. He doesn't need to explain everything, he just needs to include the meaning he conveys in the story, so this story has some possibility of magical transformation. It doesn't matter how authentic it is.

Shen He next to Gan Yu had a cold face and didn't say anything. He just watched Yu Piaoling, who was meditating in the video, quietly. A strange feeling filled his heart - he was so mature. This behavior was completely unlike him. For a five-year-old child, when did this change begin?

As for what Ke Qing and Ning Guang said, she didn't care at all. She just listened to the stories Mei Lin told as stories. She felt pretty good. It would be better if Yu Piao Ling in the video understood something.

As for herself, she thought it would be nice if she could compete with Arthas. In Merlin's story, the opponent seemed to be quite strong?

Liyue·Pangshengtang

"Ah...ah! Zhongli, is this your friend?"

Gui Zhong looked at Zhongli in surprise. She was resurrected relatively late. Although she had seen the video of Barbatos, the god of wind, there was no detailed description in it. She only knew that the two were friends and she liked to touch Barbatos. Yu's idea was more understandable, but this time in the story, Barbatos' cunning side was revealed, which surprised her, because it dispelled her previous understanding of Barbatos.

"Well, to a certain extent, they are indeed friends."

Zhongli looked at Gui Zhong fondly and said with a smile: "But it's only in this world. I don't know about the parallel world yet."
