I see myself in Genshin Impact

But he did not dare to question the deep meaning of Lord Fengshen's move. He could only try his best to train Yu Piao Ling. Yu Piao Ling could live up to his expectations, and the strength he showed was not inferior to Qin Gaowen, which made him feel relieved.

"Lord Merlin is saying that the ideas of the empire's senior officials have changed?"

Rosalia knew Merlin's identity. Although he acted like Yu Piaoling's personal teacher most of the time, she knew very well that he only used an illusory figure to teach, and his real body was actually thousands of miles away. The city of Mondstadt handles the official affairs of the empire, so on some levels, what he said and the news he conveyed were actually the attitude of the highest level of the Mondstadt Empire.

What's more, Lisa Morgan is King Uther's biological daughter. It's normal for him to want his daughter to succeed...

"...Yes, and no..."

Merlin shook his head perfunctorily and directly talked about the second reason.

Chapter 256: The King of Knights: The First Life·The retreat prepared early in the morning

"The second thing is that Yu Piao Ling has grown up."

Merlin took a deep breath and looked at Rosalia with the eyes of someone who had experienced it.

"Ok?"

Rosalia was confused and wondered why Merlin looked at her like this. Could it be that he was aware of her direct ambiguous relationship with Yu Piaoling?

But based on the above, Rosalia does not think it will be so simple. Although she is not familiar with the world and has been staying at Chenxi Winery, it does not mean that she cannot distinguish the pros and cons.

"Yes, if the five-year-old Artoria has to be pushed forward by me, the 15-year-old now has grown up and can tell for himself how dangerous the road ahead is, so I'm worried Will he hesitate..."

Merlin put his right hand on his forehead and rubbed it in confusion, and said with a worried look on his face: "I didn't think about it at the time, but I had no choice but to take him away because the dragon factor had been fused, so things had to be done. Continue to follow the plan, you must know that it is the oracle of the God of Wind..."

The words "Wind God's Oracle" weighed on Rosalia's heart like a mountain. She knew these were Merlin's excuses, but she did not dare to refute. Barbatos had a respected position in Mondstadt, and countless people regarded her words as an edict. Comply, Merlin's move is understandable even if it is to shirk responsibility. Everything is what Lord Fengshen wants, please don't blame me... But Rosalia has always been resentful towards Merlin, because he is indeed the one who executed it.

"terribly sorry."

Merlin stood up from his chair and bowed deeply to Rosalia. Then in her stunned eyes, Merlin straightened up and said seriously: "If Arturia doesn't participate in the competition, there will be Qin Gao." Wen Zai, the crisis in Mondstadt can be resolved, so..."

"Mr. Merlin!"

Hearing Merlin's words, Rosalia slammed the table and interrupted angrily: "What do you mean, do you mean that Arthur's sins in the past ten years have been in vain? He gets up at 05:30 every morning , go to the farmland to do farm work, and then follow Master Diluc Kay to receive knight training from Master Cripps Kay at eight o'clock. In the afternoon, there will be training in poetry and etiquette. Even after eating in the evening, I will receive you in my sleep. The tutoring of the king lasted until 02:30 late at night, and he only slept for three hours a day. For such a long time, he took all this for granted, because he was the future of Mondstadt selected by Lord Barbatos. The king is the most perfect fusion of Lady Vanessa's dragon factor. He has the responsibility and obligation to face his future in the future. Are you going to abolish all of this with just one word now?"

"..."

Merlin watched quietly as Rosalia finished speaking. He sighed and shook his head: "Of course not, he is my student, and I have seen all his past efforts..."

Then, Merlin said with an excited expression: "But Rosaria, you don't understand what I mean. It is precisely because he is my student that I hope he can achieve his own happiness. He had no choice ten years ago. But now, ten years later, he already has a choice, not to mention, I have already prepared an escape route for him, but he didn’t accept it.”

"Escape, what retreat?"

Rosalia caught the loophole in Merlin's words and asked.

"Hey..." Merlin sighed: "Why do you think Arturia came to Dawn Winery to be the adopted daughter of Master Cripps Kai?"

"Isn't it true that Mr. Cripps Kay is a qualified knight and a nobleman himself? Only here can we receive better teachings..."

Rosalia told him the answer that Yu Piaoling told him, and she also saw it in the past ten years. Cripps Kay was indeed a good noble knight, and the results of his teachings to Yu Piaoling were also very good.

"Then there are so many royal branches of the Pendragon family, why don't I take him there instead of the Cripps Kay family?"

Merlin then said: "The Clippus Kai family is not the only noble knight. There are also good ones from other Pendragon branches? What's more, Arturia's surname is Pendragon, and she has With the wind god’s oracle, can’t you get such teachings wherever you go?”

"This……"

Rosalia was stunned by Merlin's words. Thinking about it carefully, in the past ten years, she had never doubted why Yupiaoling was sent to the Morningside Winery where the Cripps Kay family lived. She always thought it was King Uther. It was a decision jointly discussed with Merlin, but now that I think about it, the Pendragon royal family still has many branches in the Mondstadt Empire, and there are also some noble knights who are doing well in it. Now that I think about it, the three old noble titles have been thrown away. The Cripps Kay family does not seem to be the best choice... because in the past hundred years, the Kay family has not married with the Uther Pendragon family...

If the two major families are still married, then the Clipps Kay family can also be regarded as a member of the royal family, and even the mother of Her Royal Highness Lisa Morgan may be from the Kay family... But two families that have not intermarryed for hundreds of years are actually not It can't be said to be close. By this generation, especially King Uther's generation, the relationship with the Cripps Kay family has become an ordinary monarch-subject relationship.

With such an estranged relationship, sending the next king chosen by Master Fengshen... it makes no sense both emotionally and rationally.

Seeing that Rosalia really couldn't figure it out and had great doubts in her heart, Merlin continued.

"Actually, the only thing that can be called useful about the Cripps Kay family is that they have money."

Merlin sat on a chair and said softly: "The Pendragon royal family is in decline. The other royal families who are doing well can only be said to have small assets. They cannot be compared with the Morningside Winery of the Clips Kay family. Years ago, when King Uther was preparing to select a family to train Arturia, he chose one from a branch of the royal family."

Rosalia heard this and looked up at Merlin.

"But out of selfishness, I rejected his proposal and chose the Cripps Kay family. On the one hand, the Cripps Kay family is still loyal to Mondstadt, and on the other hand, it has a large number of Mora Chenxi Winery is indeed the best choice.”

When Merlin said this, he paused slightly, and finally said tangledly: "I won't hide it from you now. At that time, I was thinking, what if Arturia doesn't want to participate in the ** when she grows up? After all, she is 15 years old. He happened to be in the rebellious stage. Over the past hundreds of years, I have seen many children in the rebellious stage. At that time, they would make choices that were completely opposite to their childhood dreams. In addition, the Oracle of the Wind God did not have any support for Artoria. The binding force, once the dragon factor is fused, it is fused. It cannot be taken out or stopped. It is a one-time deal..."

When Rosalia heard this, she blinked and thought about something thoughtfully, but Merlin ignored her and continued.

"Moreover, it is also possible that Artoria's talent is too weak. Even if she is integrated with the dragon factor, she has not reached the level of growth that we are satisfied with. In other words, she is too useless. Although she wants to be the king of Mondstadt, He is a leader in Mondstadt, but he is weak and destined to fail. After all, the extent to which the dragon factor can be exerted is also related to himself. This is an auxiliary ability, not a substitute for Vanessa... "

Merlin told both situations. Rosalia nodded after hearing this, and then thought with relief - Fortunately, none of this happened. Yu Piaoling's own strength is not to mention. During the rebellious period, he still wanted to be the king just like when he was a child.

But Merlin didn't care what she thought, and his next words unexpectedly interrupted her current peace.

Chapter 257: The King of Knights: The First Life of Rosalia’s Enlightenment

"At that time, I was thinking that if Artoria's training failed, then as the owner of Morningside Winery, Cripps Kay's adopted daughter would live a life without worries about food and clothing..."

Merlin finally expressed his true thoughts: "Anyway, as the richest person in Mondstadt, the adopted daughter of Cripps Kay will receive a very rich inheritance after she gives up and becomes the king of Mondstadt. , this is also the best retreat that I, the teacher, can give him."

"..."

After hearing this, Rosalia nodded. After a moment of silence, she said with a grateful tone: "Thank you, Lord Merlin. It's a pity that none of this happened."

"Yes, he has not been corrupted by money, and he does not have the attitude of lying flat and rotten without working hard. I am very satisfied with this."

Merlin said with a smile, this was from the bottom of his heart, but the retreat path he chose for Yu Piaoling was also sincere. As he said, it is not true that Mond cannot continue without anyone. Anyway, Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind Still, she will take action as a last resort.

"Then will Lord Merlin give up the idea of ​​withdrawing him from the King's Choice?"

Rosalia asked nervously.

"This depends on whether he can really strengthen his heart. You must know that the ceremony of king selection is just a formality. As long as he goes, Mondstadt's throne is destined to be his..."

Merlin sat back on the chair and tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand.

After hearing Merlin's words, Rosalia frowned and asked, "How can Lord Merlin judge whether Arthur will remain firm in his inner thoughts?"

"This is..."

Merlin's lips curved into a smile, and then he looked at Rosalia quietly with calm eyes.

"Ok?"

Rosalia felt something bad in her heart, but she saw Merlin smiling and asked: "Rosalia likes Arturia, right?"

"Hey?"

Hearing these words, Rosalia was shocked, then her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, her hands quickly came to her body, and she refused desperately: "No, no, no, I have always regarded him as my younger brother. How could you like him..."

"Haha, you don't have to refuse. I have seen how you have gotten along over the years. Arturia often mentioned you in class. After all, for a little boy, having a beautiful, gentle and good-looking older sister by his side, How could you not be moved?"

After hearing Merlin's sharp words, Rosalia calmed down. She frowned and asked, "Lord Merlin, what do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing interesting. I just want to say that the king's election is about to begin. You'd better seize this last chance..."

Merlin tapped his finger on the table to indicate that he was about to make the important point.

"This poor disciple of mine is now like a chess piece in the hands of Master Fengshen. He has no happiness at all. Although I did teach him with bad taste in the beginning, after so many years, I have also treated this disciple I have a deep master-disciple relationship, so some time ago, I used astrology on him to calculate his future..."

"what's the result?"

Rosalia asked quietly, afraid of hearing a bad result.

"People betrayed their relatives and died..."

Merlin said with a solemn expression, but his tone was unusually calm.

"how come?!"

Rosalia covered her mouth with her right hand in disbelief.

"That's the fact. He has lost his childhood, but he didn't expect that he would also lose his future..."

"Lord Merlin, you are his teacher. Is there nothing you can do about this?"

Rosalia asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, Rosalia. Although I am his teacher, he will be the king of Mondstadt in the future, and a king does not need a teacher."

Merlin said coldly.

After hearing Merlin's words, Rosalia knew in her heart that Merlin would leave Mondstadt's court when Yu Piaoling became queen. Otherwise, according to Yu Piaoling's character, she would treat her teacher with respect and would never disobey him. the other person’s words.No one understands Yu Piao Ling better than her.

However, she didn't know that this was Merlin's way of retreating in order to advance.

"Lord Barbatos...doesn't Lord Barbatos not care?"

Rosalia asked in shock.

"How could it be possible? Lord Barbatos has done enough... She took out the Dragon Factor. It can be said that Artoria's current status is due to the gift of that Lord. She has done enough. Much more. Wasn't it the same when Lady Vanessa became the king a thousand years ago... Lord Barbatos only stepped forward to guide and put the crown of the throne on her, and Lady Vanessa did the rest herself... "

Merlin spread his hands and said helplessly: "How could our Lord God be so free?"

"This……"

Rosalia collapsed on the chair in despair. She couldn't believe that her brother's future would be like this...

But Merlin, as the court mage and a famous astrologer in the Mondstadt Empire, his divination results were never wrong, but...

But Rosalia couldn't figure out why he told all this to himself tonight instead of telling Yu Piao Ling.

But because of his understanding of Yu Piao Ling, he knew that the road ahead was like this, and he would continue to walk on it... But Merlin probably didn't know this.

Rosalia felt that she should do something to prevent Yu Piao Ling from that tragic future.

So she asked bluntly: "Lord Merlin, what can I do to prevent Arthur from taking that path?"

"Um……"

After Merlin heard this, he showed a tangled expression: "Now, it is a foregone conclusion. Artoria will not give up the king's election, so no matter what we do, it will be useless..."

"But……"

Rosalia shook her head and said: "I will not give up. Arthur is my brother. No matter what, I don't want him who has been trained so hard since he was a child to end up like that. There must be a way. of……"

"Hey……"

Merlin sighed, stood up, walked to the edge of the window, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and then his body began to gradually dissipate into pink petals.

"My poor disciple is destined to go to the throne and then meet that tragic ending..."

"No...it won't be like this..."

Rosalia raised her head and looked at Merlin who had dissipated, but what she didn't see was that Merlin in front of him had a sarcastic smile on his face...

"Snapped!"

Rosalia slapped her hands on the table. Merlin's disappearance made her very dissatisfied, but she knew that there was nothing he could do even if Merlin stayed.

Suddenly, Rosalia raised her eyebrows, and Merlin's words just now echoed in her ears.

"——Artoria will not give up the choice of king..."

This sentence circled in her mind like a spell, and gradually, an idea appeared in Rosalia's mind.

"If...if I ask him to give up participating in the King's Selection..."

"Is it... can we have a happy ending?"

Chapter 258: King of Knights: The First Noelle’s Offensive

Mond Yora's House

With a sound of "Pa!", Yu Piao Ling in front of the screen crushed the tea cup in his hand, and the splashing tea liquid flew around, but was instantly wrapped up by the angry Yu Piao Ling with the power of wind, and torn into countless small densely packed pieces. Water mist floats in the air.

"Wow!"

Paimon was startled by Yu Piaoling's movements. She turned to look at Yu Piaoling with dissatisfaction, only to find that the other party had a gloomy face at the moment and was gritting his teeth and whispering: "Merlin, I really have you... I got it by playing tricks." On Sister Rosalia’s head…”

The others glanced at Yu Piaoling and knew that he was in a very bad mood at this time, so they did not ask questions out loud. Even Lisa's words that wanted to tease him were taken back.

Noelle immediately stood up, walked to the corner, picked up a dustpan and a broom, and came over to pick up the broken teacup pieces from the table. Yu Piaoling also reacted, then stood up and apologized to Noelle. , throwing in the pieces of the teacup still held in his right hand.

"Senior is very angry... This is the first time I have seen senior angry."

Noelle said softly, with a worried expression on his face.

"Well, I rarely get angry..."

Yu Piaoling shook his head in embarrassment, then he followed Noelle to the closet and got a new tea cup.
