I see myself in Genshin Impact

It was obviously Rosalia's first time to travel far away, but she didn't feel any discomfort. Yu Piaoling was struggling to adapt to her current situation due to the fusion of dragon factors, so she didn't perform very well.

Merlin often asked Yu Piaoling if he had any physical discomfort on the road, and Yu Piaoling always said that there was nothing wrong with him.

Later, Merlin often told Yu Piaoling some interesting stories, which made him laugh. This was Merlin regulating Yu Piaoling's state.

Rosalia and the guardian knights all called Merlin Lord Merlin, with the exception of Yu Piaoling, who asked him to call him by his first name.

At this time, Yu Piaoling didn't know the heavy burden on her body or what she would face in the future, so she just let it go.

After more than ten days of traveling, when everyone arrived at Qingquan Town, Merlin mysteriously arranged for the Guardian Knight and Rosalia to do something. Yu Piaoling asked curiously: "Merlin, you asked them to do it. What's wrong? Can I come with you?"

"No, Arthur." Merlin shook his head at Yu Piaoling, stopping his thoughts.

"This is a very important thing, related to your future, so it must be done by Rosalia."

"..."

Yu Piaoling looked at Merlin with a mysterious smile speechlessly, and her body trembled, as if she was being targeted by some demon.

He turned around and ran to the hotel table, ate his lunch in big gulps, and vented his unhappiness on it.

Merlin looked at Yu Piaoling's attitude, smiled helplessly, and said to himself: "The next step is the key point."

After a while, Rosalia and the guardian knights came back. They were carrying several small packages. They didn't know what was contained in them. They looked bulging, but they were relatively light and should not be very heavy.

Yu Piaoling asked Rosalia privately what she bought, but due to the agreement with Merlin, she couldn't tell.

She had already learned from Merlin what Yu Piaoling was about to face. Although she objected to this, she would be driven home if she refused. After learning what Yu Piaoling might happen next, Rosalia became even more uneasy. He needs to stay by his side.

Early the next morning, Yu Piaoling woke up from her sleep and saw Merlin standing beside her bed. On the table were the things that Rosalia and the Guardian Knights bought yesterday, and the packages had not yet been opened.

"Well...Merlin, good morning~"

Yu Piaoling yawned, lifted the quilt, and was about to get up and get dressed.

"Stop it! Arthur!"

Merlin waved his hand to stop Yu Piaoling's movements. When he looked over curiously, Merlin opened a package and took out a female-style children's dress, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Yu Piaoling.

"Arthur, come on! Put it on!"

Chapter 168: The King of Knights: The First Life of Eternal Protector Mondstadt

"Oh no, I saw something!" - Liyue Villager A.

"High energy ahead!" - Fontaine Villager A.

"Women's clothing, are you going to wear women's clothing?" - Xumi Villager A.

"Is it so exciting!" - Liyue Villager A.

"Huh? These are...girls' clothes, right?"

Yu Piaoling looked at the clothes Merlin was holding, a short pink dress with exquisite workmanship and a high price.

"Yeah, so put it on quickly!"

Merlin nodded and showed a strange smile: "I carefully selected these. Oh, they bought a lot of clothes yesterday. It's not easy to choose one that they are satisfied with."

"?"

Although Yu Piaoling understood every word that Merlin said, she couldn't understand them all. She asked with questions on her face: "Why do I wear girls' clothes? I'm a boy."

"Well, you're right."

Merlin listened to Yu Piaoling's words and agreed with approval, but he curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You are just a boy in the past. From now on, you will appear as a girl."

"Forehead……"

Yu Piaoling looked at Merlin blankly, really not understanding why he said this, but he instinctively dodged the women's clothes that Merlin handed over and retreated to the corner.

Seeing this, Merlin's expression became unhappy. He put the women's clothes on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and said to Yu Piaoling solemnly: "It seems it's time to show off your real skills..."

"This development is wrong!" - Mondstadt villager A.

"Brother Lin, don't want it!" - Xumi Villager A.

"Yu Piao Ling, you don't want Rosalia to be bullied at school, right?" - Mondstadt Villager B.

"So, put it on obediently, hahahaha..." - Inazuma Villager A.

There was joy in the barrage, but Merlin's next move was different from what they thought.

"Arthur, do you know the origin of Mondstadt now?"

Merlin asked in a deep voice.

While at Rosalia's house, Yu Piaoling heard a lot about Mond's past through bedtime stories, so he nodded and replied: "Well, I know this. It was Lady Vanessa who was killed by Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, thousands of years ago. Granted the Crown of Stars and created the New Mondstadt Empire."

"Yes, that's right." Merlin praised after hearing this, and then asked: "Mistress Vanessa is called the Queen of the Red Dragon. Do you know this legend?"

"Yeah! Because Lady Vanessa has long fiery red hair and led the rebel army to defeat the nobles who ruled Mondstadt at that time, later generations respectfully call her the Red Dragon or the Queen of the Red Dragon."

"Lady Vanessa went to Sky Island after her death and became a god."

Merlin raised his head and said with a look of longing: "Although she became a god, Lady Vanessa's bloodline has been passed down, and she is now King Uther, Uther Panseragon, the ruler of the Mondstadt Empire. "

"Arthur, let me ask you, do you know your last name?"

"..."

Listening to Merlin's question, Yu Piaoling wanted to say that he might be Arthur Testarossa, but he knew that he was adopted by his adoptive parents. He didn't know his real last name. He only knew that he had never remembered it. Since then, he has been called Arthur.

Being smart, he recalled what Merlin had said before, and an idea vaguely appeared in his mind, but he did not say it out loud, but continued to wait for Merlin to ask more questions.

"Arthur, do you know why you were adopted?"

"I don't know." Yu Piaoling raised his head and looked at Merlin. He wanted to know the answer to this question. Why was he adopted?Who are his real parents?How did you become an orphan? Was it abandoned by your parents?

"Arthur, you are getting older. After the previous fusion of dragon factors, you have begun to walk on another path. Now, it is time to tell you everything." Merlin sighed and told the story of what happened five years ago. things.

"Thousands of years after Lady Vanessa became a god, Mondstadt gradually declined during the succession of thrones. The competition between the old and new nobles for domestic power intensified, and gradually began to move closer to the era before Lady Vanessa ruled a thousand years ago. "

"More than a hundred years ago, another major event occurred in Mondstadt, which led to the further weakening of the Mondstadt Empire. Until more than ten years ago, a northern nobleman named Schubert Lawrence, in order to control Mondstadt, The next throne of the empire introduced the Demon God White Dragon King - Vortigern, but the other party killed the noble and replaced his territory."

"Vortigern was originally a loser in the Demon God War and fled to the dark sea. He came now when Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, was not doing anything, and tried to steal the throne of the Mondstadt Empire."

"In order to fight against it, His Majesty King Uther summoned an army to fight to the death with Vortigern, and successfully severely damaged the opponent, causing it to escape back to the wind dragon ruins in the north, but King Uther also died soon."

"King Uther ordered me to find Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, and ask about Mond's future. And after going through many dangers, I successfully found her and obtained her oracle."

Having said this, Merlin paused, looked at Yu Piaoling's clear pupils and said, "The oracle told me to find the next king for the continuation of the Mondstadt Empire. To this end, I searched all of Lady Vanessa's possessions. A descendant of my family, I finally met you as a newborn in a small village that was ransacked by thieves..."

"Merlin, are you saying that I am the person mentioned in Lord Barbatos' oracle?"

Yu Piaoling blinked and said in disbelief: "Am I the next king of the Mondstadt Empire?"

Merlin saw Yu Piaoling ask this question, nodded with a smile, and then continued.

"Yes, Arthur. When you were first born, your name was Yu Piao Ling. But in order to better adapt to your new identity, I temporarily changed your name to Arthur."

"My parents are dead?"

"Yes, when we found you, they had already died fighting against the thieves. Your name was told to me by your father before he died."

"..."

After learning about his past, Yu Piaoling pouted and became depressed.

It turns out that he was not abandoned by his parents, but was entrusted to Merlin by his parents. At the same time, Merlin had a reason for looking for him, because Lord Fengshen's oracle said that he was the next king of the Mondstadt Empire.

Of course, even so, Yu Piaoling is still very grateful to Merlin. After all, without him, she might starve to death in the mountain village, or be taken away by the thieves and sold to others. It is even more likely that she would be directly trained by the thieves to become a young man. Maybe even thieves.

Looking at Yu Piao Ling's depressed expression, Merlin continued to add: "In order to hide the news about you, I temporarily placed you in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Weston Testarossa, who used to be the personal staff of His Majesty King Uther. , will keep your secrets, and at the same time, his character and strength are reliable enough."

"However, that is only temporary. A few days ago, the scene mentioned in Lord Fengshen's oracle appeared. You became blond and blue-eyed. It is time to train you as a king, so I took you Leave the Whispering Woods and go to a more suitable place.”

"So it is."

Yu Piaoling understood what happened, raised his head and said with a smile: "Merlin, I understand my responsibilities and obligations. Thank you for everything you have done in the past."

"Hey? Do you understand? Don't you resist becoming the king? This is the path that has been arranged!"

Hearing Yu Piaoling's words, Merlin asked in surprise. He had always been worried about what Yu Piaoling would do if he refused to become the king, and what he would do if he disobeyed. He had also prepared many plans to deal with it. Who would have thought that the other party would just accept it? Already?

And the attitude is so calm!

Is this because of the subtle changes after integrating the Dragon Factor, or is it because he didn't resist such an arrangement from the beginning?

"Ah."

Yu Piaoling nodded and said, "I like Lady Vanessa's story very much, and so does Sister Rosalia, so I vow to become someone like her in the future and protect Mondstadt forever!"

"What's more, I didn't expect that I would be a descendant of Lady Vanessa. At this time, the Mondstadt Empire is in crisis. Due to circumstances and reasons, I should stand up and bear this responsibility."

"Arthur...you are really too mature!"

Merlin looked at Yu Piaoling in disbelief. At the age of five, he actually said such responsible words. Not only was he able to accept his identity in an instant and get rid of the influence of his parents' tragic experience in the past, but he was also able to make the right decision for the Mondstadt Empire. The choice, everything went so smoothly, so smoothly that it felt unreal to him.

For the first time, he began to wonder whether the dragon factor was something evil, or was it cursed, causing the other party to make a choice?

Although he was only five years old, he thought like an adult, which made Merlin guess, Yu Piao Ling, did he really understand what he meant when he said this?

Chapter 169: The King of Knights: The First Life, Qin’s Understanding

"Isn't this too unbelievable? The other party said that he would be the king, so he agreed to be the king?" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"Is there anything hard to accept? If someone asked me at the age of five if I wanted to be a king, I would definitely be willing too!" - Liyue Villager A.

"Do the people above just think that being a king is a game? That's not the attitude of Yu Piaoling in the video. His face is not the joy of playing a game, but a serious and responsible expression that he wants to be a king!" - — Liyue villager B.

"Is this... the descendant of Lady Vanessa? The other party's identity is too scary! I don't know if Yu Piao Ling in our world is also a descendant of Lady Vanessa. If so, we must find him. Immediately incorporate him into the Knights of the West Wind for protection!" - Mondstadt Villager C.

"Eternal Protector Mond... Just like the teachings of the Gunnhild family, anyone who can say such things is not easy to mess with!" - Inazuma Villager A.

Mond Yora's House

"Piao Ling, did you accept it so easily?" Amber put down her phone, raised her head and asked, "You just grew up in a farm family. Do you really know what you said at that time?"

"That's right, Piao Ling, this is too outrageous..."

Paimon agreed with Amber's words, spread his hands and asked: "You looked calm at that time, couldn't you be scared out of your wits?"

Ying and Noelle also nodded in agreement with Amber and Paimon, thinking that Yu Piao Ling in the video was too premature and did not behave like a five-year-old child at all.

"Hey……"

Hearing their words, Yu Piaoling sighed, put down his phone, glanced at Paimon, Amber and others with sharp eyes, and said seriously: "When did you get the illusion that I am not serious?"

"Uh..." Paimon was stunned by Yu Piaoling's words, and then Yu Piaoling continued.

"Whether it was my past that Merlin told me at the beginning, or whether I would become the king of Mondstadt in the future, I took it very seriously and accepted it calmly. The moment I left Testarossa's house, I I knew that I would embark on a new journey. Although it looks like he is only five years old, which is hard to believe, but it is indeed true."

"This is..." Amber said with a sad face after hearing Yu Piaoling's words: "This is too cruel..."

"Thank you, Amber." Yu Piaoling looked at Amber gratefully, and said with a smile: "There is nothing cruel or cruel. People are born with various choices. I just did not refuse the throne proposed by Merlin. option, and regard him as his own choice."

Then, he looked at Qin and said with a smile: "Captain Qin also calls me Eternal Protector Mond from the moment she is born. I wonder what you think of my choice?"

"I……"

Qin didn't expect that Yu Piaoling would bring the topic to her. She raised her head and looked at him in shock, only to find that the other person had a smile on his face.

Then Qin thought about it seriously, and thought that she had been under the strict guidance of the Gunnhild family when she was a child, and now she has become the acting leader of the Mondstadt Knights of Zephyr. She has never made a choice about her responsibilities. Through escaping, he accepted all of this calmly, and has always regarded Lady Vanessa as an idol and template to work hard for. This has always been the case until now, not to mention that he is not the only one around him, there are Lisa, Amber, With the help of Yura and others.

"I can understand your choice."

After a long time, Qin said these words.

Everyone looked at Qin and suddenly thought that there was actually someone in the same situation as Yu Piaoling. Since they could understand each other, it would not be difficult to accept Yu Piaoling's performance in the video.

Then everyone else continued to look at the video, while Noelle looked at Yu Piaoling with admiration and said to himself [Senior is so awesome, I must work harder! 】

Yu Piaoling picked up her phone and looked at it while saying in her heart: "After integrating the dragon factor, standing on the land of Mondstadt, you will not only get the earth vein bonus, the entire Mondstad environment, people are full of thoughts and feelings , had already poured into my body. At that time, I was more affected by these and thought about doing something for them. It was not until Merlin said that I was the next king of Mondstadt that I Just go with the flow..."

"As for the real reason why Amber and others didn't believe that the five-year-old me could say such a thing, it also has to do with the past life... Hey, this is linked to each other. If I didn't have the experience of the previous life, I might have escaped at that time, and then Just follow the other path arranged by Merlin, become an ordinary hunter in the Whispering Forest, and maybe live a quiet and happy life with Sister Rosalia..."

Mondstadt Temple of the Thousand Winds

"Barbatos, look at this kid, he's really good!"

Tevalin picked up the phone and laughed at Wendy: "I thought when Merlin asked me just now, he would refuse, and maybe he would be at a loss. Unexpectedly, the other party accepted it like this!"

"Ah."
