I see myself in Genshin Impact

Hearing Yu Piao Ling's question, Merlin sighed. It happened that this matter was not suitable to be told to others, but as the first lesson of Wang's teaching, it could also shatter Yu Piao Ling's other illusions and use the ironclad evidence of what had happened in the past. Let him grow.

"The Mondstadt Empire has gone through a long period of peace since Lady Vanessa Pendragon began to rule. Among them, the Wind Eagle Sword, as an artifact, is to be enshrined in the Royal Cathedral, which is where the old nobles of Mondstadt belong. The church built has a very special guardian knight inside, specially used to guard the Wind Eagle Sword. And that sword witnessed how Vanessa Pendragon unified Mondstadt step by step, so it has a very special spirit. Meaning, even if it becomes a divine weapon, it is not allowed to be used! This is a well-known thing in the Mondstadt Empire."

Merlin stretched out his hand and a stone table appeared between the two of them, with two teacups and a teapot on it. He stood up and poured Yu Piaoling a cup, then poured himself another cup and drank slowly.

Yu Piaoling also took the cup in front of him and took a sip. He didn't know what kind of tea was in the cup, but after drinking it, he immediately felt refreshed and refreshed. He thought it was extraordinary.

"Actually, what others don't know is that the Wind Eagle Sword actually contains artifact-level energy. Before going to Sky Island, Lady Vanessa was worried about what if someone used it to cause trouble in the future and endanger the people of Mondstadt. , so Lady Vanessa sealed it so that no one could pick it up. In order to avoid being suspected by the people, the subsequent royal families enshrined it in the West Wind Cathedral, allowing people to admire the only weapon left by Lady Vanessa. , which increases the people’s centripetal force in a disguised form.”

Chapter 211 King of Knights: The First Arthas Pendragon

"So that's it. No wonder King Uther didn't have the Wind Eagle Sword on his waist when he appeared on the stage. Captain Qin clearly carried the Wind Eagle Sword as the acting captain. Why didn't he, as the orthodox successor, bring that iconic weapon? It turns out that Lady Vanessa sealed it!" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"Mistress Vanessa is so kind. Even before she died, she had this way of thinking." - Mondstadt Villager B.

"So in the Mondstadt Empire in the parallel world, doesn't it mean that no one can pick up the Wind Eagle Sword? Yu Piaoling seems to have another sword, right? Remember before it was called - the Sword in the Stone?" - Mondstadt villager C.

"The Wind Eagle Sword is tired enough, let it rest." - Mondstadt Villager D.

"Moreover, there are rumors that the Wind Eagle Sword contains Lady Vanessa's will to protect Mondstadt. Without the corresponding awareness, it is actually impossible to pick up the sword..."

Merlin smiled and said: "Of course that's just a legend, because even His Majesty Uther Pendragon, who fought desperately to protect Mondstadt, can't be picked up, so it can be seen how harsh the requirements are. There is no royal family anymore. I believe this, but what happened a hundred years ago makes this sword even more mythical."

"What is that?" Hearing this, Yu Piaoling asked curiously.

But at this time, Merlin did not answer immediately, but looked at Yu Piaoling and asked: "Artoria, do you know why King Uther's full name is Uther Pendragon?"

"Forehead……"

Listening to Merlin's nonsensical question, Yu Piaoling scratched the back of his head and answered confusedly: "Because he is from the royal family, right?"

"not like this."

Hearing Yu Piaoling's answer, Merlin smiled and shook his head: "It's not your fault. In fact, everyone in Mondstadt knows very little about the cause of this matter. Do you still remember what I said, His Majesty King Uther's Daughter, what’s your full name?”

"Full name? Isn't it Lisa Morgan Pendragon... huh?"

Yu Piaoling herself was surprised as she said this, because there was a weird surname like Morgan in the middle, instead of just Lisa Pendragon, which was different from her!

If this is the case, King Uther should be called 'Uther Morgan Pendragon'...

Thinking of this, Yu Piaoling became entangled.

"Hahahaha." Merlin laughed at Yu Piaoling's reaction: "You know now, in fact, since Lady Vanessa Pendragon, there is an unwritten rule in the Mondstadt Empire that has not been clearly written Come down, that was decided before Lady Vanessa went to Sky Island."

"Unspoken rules?"

"Yes, this rule is that, except for the king of Mondstadt, all of Lady Vanessa's relatives, that is, the royal family, must add a surname between their first name and the royal surname to distinguish them. This surname Also known as the 'code name', in the entire Mondstadt, only the reigning king can remove the code name, otherwise he must wear it for life to distinguish the king from the royal family."

"I see, the king is only Mondstadt, but the royal family has the intention of being a family?"

Hearing this, Yu Piaoling murmured in a low voice.

"Exactly, but you are the only exception in this millennium. Because you are the next king of Mondstadt under the leadership of Lord Fengshen, so there is no need for a code name. Just call you Artoria Pendragon. And you When he grows up, he will directly inherit the throne, whether King Uther is still there or not."

Merlin explained.

"That's right. No wonder Sister Lisa has a surname of Morgan. This Morgan is her code name..."

"Well, it's not just Morgan. When the Mondstadt Empire was first established a thousand years ago, three new nobles rose up. They were Lady Vanessa's brothers and sisters, and those three codenames were 'Chasing the Sun'. "Menethil" and "Morgan", but now, only Morgan is left."

Merlin sighed, as if he was lamenting the impact of the change of time.

"Does it matter?"

Yupiaoling asked.

"No, but you still remember what I just said about the Wind Eagle Sword... Let's go back to the other two artifacts. One of them is the dragon factor, which is the tear shed by Lady Vanessa, which has now been fused with you. In Mondstadt, only Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, me and a few guardian knights know about this matter. This matter is related to whether you can successfully ascend the throne in the future, so we need to hide the news. Now It’s not the time to announce it.”

Merlin looked at Yu Piaoling seriously, and continued talking only after he nodded.

"The last artifact is the Crown of Stars. It is the gift given to Vanessa Pendragon by Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, and it is also the symbol of her commander Mondstadt! For thousands of years, this is the only thing that has It has been passed down from generation to generation, and everyone knows that whoever wears the crown of stars is the king of Mondstadt."

"I know this. The Star Crown still contains the energy left by Master Fengshen, which can help the user temporarily control the power of the wind. However, you said before that the energy in the Star Crown has been exhausted."

Yu Piaoling recalled Merlin's words and interjected.

"That's true, but next, I'm going to tell you how the Star Crown, which Master Fengshen left behind for thousands of years, was depleted of energy..."

Having said this, Merlin then added: "It would be great if the Star Crown was also sealed by Lady Vanessa back then. Unfortunately, the Star Crown can be worn by all members of the Pendragon family. That’s why the trouble was left.”

"Things have to go back 100 years ago..."

Merlin slowly opened his mouth and told about the great changes that happened a long time ago and affected the Mondstadt Empire for a hundred years.

"It's coming, it's coming! It's finally here!" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"I've been waiting for a long time, and finally it's here!" - Mondstadt villager B.

"I still want to know how the Mondstadt Empire ended up like this!" - Mondstadt villager C.

"That's right. I'm really curious about how Mondstadt develops without the protection of the four winds." - Mondstadt villager D.

"Not to mention, the name of Sun Chaser sounds quite bluffing. This code name is so domineering!" - Inazuma Villager A.

"Menethil means majesty and glory in the ancient Mondlish language. It must have been very powerful in the past, right?" - Mondstadt villager E.

"I don't want to know how they came, I just want to know how they disappeared..." - Liyue Villager A.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Master Diluc, I changed my last name to Kai, but it still sounds just as nice..." - Miss Mondstadt Flower Shop Donna.

Amidst the falling rain and the expectation of barrages, Merlin put down the teacup in his hand, looked into the distance, and told stories from the past.

"My son, the day you were born, the entire Whispering Forest whispered your name, Arthas..."

Chapter 212: The King of Knights: The First Life and the Temporary Throne

"Child, I am proud to watch you grow up day by day and become the embodiment of justice. You must remember that we have always ruled this country with wisdom and strength. I also believe that you will use your powerful power cautiously, but, truly Victory is what inspires people's hearts. One day, my life will reach its end, and you will be crowned king..."

"Oh no! This is the B box!" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"Listen, the entire Whispering Forest is whispering your name. If my father had said that to me back then, I would have become the Seven Stars of Liyue!" - Villager A of Liyue.

"This beginning gives me goosebumps, it's so exciting!" - Mondstadt villager B.

"And you will be crowned king. I will choke you. I will say this to my son right away..." - Mondstadt villager C.

"But the person who said this must be the king of the Mondstadt Empire at that time, right?" - Mondstadt villager D.

After Merlin finished speaking, he began to explain, because this lesson is a historical guide to Yu Piao Ling. This matter is the starting point of a major event a hundred years ago. He must explain it in detail and thoroughly. Of course, will there be anything hidden in it? Things, whether Yu Piaoling can taste the meaning and detect the hidden truth, that depends on the beholder.

Anyway, Merlin had no intention of telling everything, not to mention that at that time, he was still practicing swordsmanship with his master Shining in Mondstadt, and did not pay attention to the outside situation. He also analyzed many things after the fact, and with the special nature of nightmares, he could He went into someone's dream, so he couldn't even convince himself of the truth he pieced together.

[Perhaps the only one who knows the truth now is Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, but as a believer in freedom, she probably only intervened occasionally to avoid bigger troubles? 】

Merlin had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to say such words, even in Avalon, which was called Utopia.

"The words just now were spoken by Terenas Pendragon, the king of Mondstadt at that time, holding his newborn son, Arthas Menethil Pendragon, to his subjects. I said this when I was celebrating the birth of my son.”

"The newborn Alsace stretched out his young hands to the crowd below, and seemed to be happy. He may have felt the heavy burden on his shoulders."

"But in the crowd, there was a man with a cold face who looked at this scene and secretly cursed, 'Huh, Terenas, you insidious guy, your son will never become the king!' Then, he turned and left the crowd, Heading towards the Dadaupa Valley.”

"Dadaupa Valley?"

Yu Piaoling heard this and interrupted: "That should be the territory of the Gunnhild family mentioned in the book, right?"

"Well, after Lord Vanessa established the Mondstadt Empire, her army wiped out all the Chuqiu people in the Dadaupa Valley, and sealed it as the territory of the Gunnhild family."

Merlin nodded and continued: "Arthas Menethil Pendragon was very smart and kind-hearted. In order to better train him, Terenas ordered the founder of the Knights of the Silver Hand at that time, Uther Lightbringer came to be his teacher, hoping that he would learn the various virtues and martial arts of knights and become an excellent king in the future."

"Because he is Terenas Pendragon's only son, Mondstadt's subjects believe he will one day ascend the throne."

Speaking of this, Merlin paused deliberately. He wanted to see Yu Piaoling's reaction to see if he had found any doubts. Sure enough, Yu Piaoling immediately asked: "Merlin, you just said that the rebellion a hundred years ago was a dispute between the crown prince. If If that’s the case, shouldn’t Terenas have two sons?”

Merlin looked at Yu Piaoling with relief and secretly praised him for being really smart. Such questions were more in line with the way he would teach next: "Well, you are right, but Terenas only has one son, just like Uther. His Majesty Pendragon only has one daughter, Lisa Morgan Pendragon, do you understand?"

"Is there another heir to the throne who is in the opposition like me?" Yu Piaoling nodded and asked, "Before the union, Terenas had an illegitimate son?"

"Well...it would be nice if it was an illegitimate child."

Merlin shook his head and continued: "Before Lady Vanessa went to Sky Island a thousand years ago, she entrusted the throne to a branch code-named Sun Chaser. Since then, the Sun Chaser family has been a legitimate royal family, and other The royal family could not compete with them, and in order to consolidate their rule, the Sunstrider family married the old noble Gunhild family from generation to generation, and this continued until 800 years ago. Their two families were the actual rulers of the Mondstadt Empire. But this also caused dissatisfaction among other families.”

"However, the Sunstrider family has good relations with many royal families, and with Gunnhild's great help, other dissatisfaction has been suppressed. The Star Crown has been passed down from generation to generation, and the energy contained in it has suppressed the dissatisfaction of many people. However, some people have decided that since they can’t do it openly, they will do it secretly, and the invisible black hand reaches out to the Sun Chaser royal family..."

“When the Sun Chasers began to marry the Gunnhild family for generations in order to consolidate their rule, two other families also seized the opportunity, namely the Menethil family and the Morgan family. The ancestors of these two families were both in Winnie. Lord Sha made great contributions when she ruled Mondstadt, so she has her own territory, among which the Whispering Forest is the fiefdom of the Menethil family, and the Running Wolf Territory is the fiefdom of the Morgan family."

"Two hundred years ago, when the Sunstrider family was at its peak, when they thought they would rule the Mondstadt Empire forever, something happened."

"What kind of changes can affect the rule of the Sun Chaser?"

Yu Piaoling asked curiously.

"hey-hey."

Merlin smiled mysteriously: "This change is surprising even now, and it attracted the attention of many caring people at the time. That is, 200 years ago, the Sun Chaser family suddenly could not give birth to a son!"

"Ah this..."

Yu Piao Ling →_→ looked at Merlin, thinking disdainfully what kind of abnormality this was.

"Mistress Vanessa became the king as a woman, so it's okay for a princess from the Sunstrider family to become the king. Is that what you think?"

Merlin asked as if he had read Yu Piaoling's thoughts.

"Yes, the Sunstrider family has been ruling for 800 years, so wouldn't it be okay to let the daughter come out and continue to be the king?"

"Of course not."

Merlin categorically refused: "Not only is Lady Vanessa powerful in her own right, but she was also appointed by Lord Fengshen to successfully sit on the throne. No one behind her can compete with her. In addition, generations of the Sun Chaser family have been The people of Mondstadt are already used to it being a man who is king. Once a second queen is elected, people will compare her with Lady Vanessa. This risk is too great and may reduce the cohesion of the people of Mondstadt. So the idea was rejected from the beginning, and after in-depth conversations with the close Menethil and Morgan families, the Sunstrider family made a decision at that time!”

"That is to give the throne to the Menethil family temporarily, and then return the throne to the Sunstrider family after the descendants of the Sunstrider family give birth to a son. The family that witnessed this is the Morgan family."

"So in the hundreds of years from 200 to 100 years ago, the Menethil family quietly became the king without the people of Mondstadt knowing much about it. Anyway, when the name was announced to the outside world, it was XXX Pan Dragon, because there is no code name, people only know that there will continue to be a new king, and there is no need for other princes to marry him."

Chapter 213 King of Knights: The First Kael'thas Pendragon

"These are all nonsense ideas!" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"Temporarily taking the throne, the Sunstrider family is so naive!" - Mondstadt villager B.

"Exactly, why do you think the Menethil family will return the throne? Do you think they will abide by the contract after you give birth to a son?" - Liyue Villager A.

"It's such a child's play. What a decent thing to do!" - Liyue Villager B.

"Sure enough, Lady Vanessa is right. If the nobles stay for a long time, their brains will get wet and they will become mentally retarded!" - Mondstadt villager C.

The barrage was chaotic, but Merlin and Yu Piaoling continued in the video.

"The Sun Chaser's approach was very safe, because at that time the people of Mondstadt were shaken because the royal family had no sons but only daughters. After the new prince appeared, the people's hearts stabilized."

Merlin continued to talk, but Yu Piaoling couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Merlin, is it really okay for the Sun Chaser family to do this?"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Merlin looked at Yu Piaoling with a smile, and suddenly thought of something with a "Oh!" and added: "By the way, I forgot to mention that although the Menethil family's territory is in the Whispering Forest, their family is also in the Millennium. In the past, they were married to the Lawrence family, one of the old nobles, for generations. Of course, the Morgan family was no exception. They were married to the famous Legenfund family, so the three new nobles were bound to the three old nobles, and day by day The Sunstrider family has always been on good terms with the Menethil family and the Morgan family. The Menethil family and the Morgan family have been defending the rule of the Sunstrider family. They are royalists that have been circulated for a long time, also known as the 'royal party'. "

Hearing Merlin's addition, Yu Piaoling seemed to notice something and looked at Merlin silently.

"Oh no, this... this plot..." - Liyue Villager A.

"Hiss, you royal party, it's scary to think about it, it's scary to think about it!" - Villager A of Daozuma.

"Will the dragon slayer eventually become a dragon?" - Fontaine Villager A.

"But the Sun Chaser family was just lucky enough to be selected by Lady Vanessa to become the royal family. Isn't it okay for other families to want to do something? Besides, you have been in this family for 800 years. Let other families do it. , isn't it possible?" - Mondstadt Villager A.

"The Sunstrider family must have noticed something, so they took the initiative to give up the throne? Did the fight for the throne happen so early?" - Mondstadt villager B.

"Am I the only one who noticed the word 'Lawrence'? Why do I feel like they are not included in the good things? Whenever something bad happens to Mond, you will 100% see someone related to their family appearing behind them?" - Mond Villager C.

Many smart people in the barrage realized that the Sun Chaser family suddenly could not give birth to a son at a certain moment and could only give birth to a daughter. There must be a mastermind behind the scenes. Is it possible to arrange such a situation on the continent of Teyvat? Although they didn't know about the potion, it would be strange if there was nothing wrong with such a coincidence.

"Merlin, you..."

Yu Piaoling spoke weakly, wanting to express what was in her heart, but was interrupted by Merlin raising his hand.

"I don't know what the truth is or what the situation was at that time. In short, the secret prince changing ceremony was only circulated in the mouths and dreams of some relevant figures, and no written records were handed down."

Merlin shook his head and told Yu Piaoling, and then he added: "It's just that when I was traveling with King Uther, I once asked about it, and King Uther answered like this."

"I don't know either. I just remember that my ancestors were still planting grapes in the fields at that time, but they received news from the knights, saying that there seemed to be changes in the Lawrence family's territory. They were recruiting troops, and many knights had already joined them. Then nothing happened. A few days later, my ancestor received an invitation from the King of Mondstadt at the time, asking him to secretly go to Mondstadt. It seemed that he was also invited by the Lawrence family, the Menethil family, and Lygenfend. Afterwards, the family ancestor brought back news that a boy from the Menethil family will be the king of Mondstadt, and this matter cannot be spread."
