Original God, the beginning continues Liyue martial arts

The second one, Hans, keeps running around for his friend who has passed away long ago.

Don't forget that even Lisa, the salty fish, was once called a genius that appears once in two hundred years.

Compared with these people, what is Noah, who is only concerned with fighting for power within Lawrence?

What qualifications does he have to be favored by the Giant of Light? !

However, before Eula could finish her words, the next second, she saw Noah open the drawer and throw another Evolution Truster to her, and then she became like a duck with its neck strangled, and she lost her voice.

After a long time, she raised her hand and pointed at the thing in her hand: "This...you...I..."

"Is your brain refusing to think because you are too shocked?" Noah raised the corners of his mouth with a mocking smile on his face, "Eula Lawrence, you are still a coward like before."

Eula opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.

As if he could see her confusion, Noah continued, "The transformation device in your hand was stolen from Lisa Mintz by our 'good' uncle Schubert. He failed in the competition for the clan leader, so he went to cooperate with the Fatui, and seemed to be planning to use this thing as a bargaining chip. I discovered it afterwards and intercepted it in advance."

"..."

After hearing this, Eula remained silent.

Uncle Schubert, judging by his personality, is indeed the kind of person who would do such a thing.

"Then why did you..."

“Why don’t you return this dirty thing to the Knights?” Noah said the second half of Eula’s sentence. Seeing his cousin nod, he couldn’t help but grin again, “Eula, maybe you have been away from the family for too long, so you have forgotten Lawrence’s identity in Mondstadt.”

He took a deep breath and said in the calmest tone possible: "We are sinners."

"If I live my life behind closed doors, at most people will say a few things about me behind my back, saying that I have to pay a high price to buy something that ordinary people can get at a low price."

"But if I hand this thing over...ha, can you imagine what will happen then?"

132 Seven Virtues of Light

Eula didn't dare to think about it.

Because such a future would be enough to shatter some of the things she had always held on to.

After a moment of silence, he changed the subject: "So, what are you going to do with this thing?"

Noah frosted the transformation device that belonged to him, and said in the same tone: "Leave it alone."

"???"

Noah sighed when he saw the confusion written all over his cousin's face.

"The Evolution Trustee is a tool that Lord uses to collect certain good qualities." He paused for a moment, "Although the Transformer will appear in front of some people with special qualities, whether or not to use it and inject one's own qualities into it depends on the chosen one."

"In order to prevent someone from taking up the post without doing anything, for example, this time, Ms. Lisa, the Evolution Trustee, will only stay with the chosen person for a maximum of three months."

"That is to say, at most one month later, the Evolved Truster will be bound to the new Favored One?" Eula asked, with a conflicted expression on her face.

"That's right." Noah nodded, and then directly pointed out his cousin's little thoughts, "My dear cousin, please rest assured that the Evolution Truster will never choose you."

"...Why?" Eula admitted that when she first heard about the Evolution Trustees, she had the thought of becoming the chosen one.

If he could become the fittest person of Nexter - oh, now it should be called Nexus - and save Mondstadt from the water and fire at the cost of losing his power, then could Lawrence escape from the vortex of the 'sinner'?

Although the girl is a marginal figure in the Knights Templar, she is still a true titled knight after all.

She believed that she did not possess all the virtues that a knight should have, but she could definitely be bound to the Evolution Trustee.

Unfortunately, when Lisa handed in the transformation device, all the other titled knights had contact with it, except Eula, who was directly excluded because of her identity as a descendant of Lawrence.

Noah even stated that she would never be able to become a fit person in this lifetime.

How could this calm Eula?

Looking at his cousin, whose eyebrows were slightly raised as she spoke and whose tone contained a hint of anger, Noah couldn't help but sigh a second time.

"Courage, friendship, knowledge, love, honesty, innocence, hope."

Eula was stunned after hearing this: "Are these the virtues that the mysterious being you mentioned wants to collect?"

The girl was not stupid. If she had not wanted to change the plight of the Lawrence family, she would have occupied the position where Noah was sitting years ago.

"That's right." Noah did not deny it.

"Courage, because of Klips Leggenfend, has been filled with success."

"The situation with friendship is not much different."

"As for the remaining five virtues... the thirst for knowledge, cousin, you never possessed it from the beginning; innocence, oh, how could a person of noble birth still retain such a thing; hope, even the lord who gave me power is not sure whether he can collect it, cousin, how can you guarantee that you meet the requirements?" Seeing Eula silent, Noah continued to speak: "And love, the love of family, the love of lovers, the great love for the entire family and the entire country, cousin, do you have it?"

Eula gritted her teeth. She had a vague feeling that what the other party was going to say next might completely shatter her three views.

I wanted to leave, but at this moment my legs felt as if they were filled with a large amount of iron sand, so heavy that I couldn't move them at all.

"Finally, it's about being honest." At this point, Noah suddenly raised his lips, "Cousin, why do you think I was given the Transformer?"

"..."

"That's because my lord has acknowledged my loyalty to the family!"

"Noah, what do you want to say?" Eula took a deep breath and put on the disguise she usually used to deal with the people of Mond.

"Don't you understand yet?" Noah glanced at his cousin. Seeing that her face was calm but her pupils shrank slightly, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Eula Lawrence, from the moment you ran away from your duties as the patriarch, you no longer possessed the quality of 'honesty'."

Eula's face turned visibly paler.

There were some lies that she could tell to people outside the family, and even make herself believe them.

But when facing people of the same tribe, even Noah who sat on the throne of the tribe leader, her words had no effect at all.

Nobles are particular about elegance.

Under normal circumstances, if the person arguing with him surrendered, Noah would most likely stop attacking and give the other person time to calm down.

But facing Eula...

But he had no intention of doing so: "My dear cousin, you have been educated by the patriarch since childhood, so you should know best what 'Lawrence' means to Mond and the Mond nobles."

Eula took a step back.

"Sinner? Oh, that's just a lie to deceive the lower class people. Although our ancestors also have the surname Lawrence, they are not the same as the guys who oppressed the people a thousand years ago. Otherwise, after the civil strife that year, our ancestors would not have been allowed to stay in Mondstadt."

"Even if one or two of them committed crimes, compared to treason and selling out the country, they are just some minor things. Those who should be fined have been fined, and those who should be imprisoned have been imprisoned. You know, those 'Lawrence' who really oppressed the people have all been deported~"

"But even so, our ancestors and we, their descendants, still bear the name of 'sinners'."

"Why is this happening? Cousin, you are knowledgeable and you can definitely tell me the answer."

Eula lowered her head and stared at the ground.

Of course she knew the reason, and because she knew...

"Don't want to answer? Or, don't dare to answer?" Noah didn't indulge his coward sister, "Because the nobles need a target. An outlet for ordinary people to vent their dissatisfaction with life and their inner anger. Otherwise, the long-term oppression from the nobles will be enough to cause Mondstadt to erupt into a second civil war!"

"As a 'sacrifice', no matter how bad Lawrence's reputation is, he can still stand among the nobles. He will even receive many hidden benefits."

Eula's expression became increasingly depressed.

She knew that Noah was right, this was the truth about Lawrence's 'descendant of sinners'.

After a moment's silence, the girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

Unfortunately, Noah didn't give her the chance at all: "I was fortunate enough to hear that gentleman tell a joke - in Mondstadt, which advocates freedom, there is a privileged class called the nobility. Isn't it funny? I laughed so hard that tears came out at that time."

"What exactly do you want to say?!" Eula looked at Noah. "If you are just exposing my shortcomings, I admit that you succeeded. I really couldn't accept the truth about the 'sinner' at the beginning, so I left Lawrence. I can't bear the burden of the head of the Lawrence clan, but this doesn't mean that I am unwilling to work hard to change the current situation in Lawrence."

133 Seeds of Hope

"So, after more than five years as a member of the Knights, have you changed the Mondstadt people's view of Lawrence in the slightest?"

When Eula heard Noah's question, she fell completely silent.

She held it in for a long time before she reluctantly responded: "I'm still trying."

“Try hard… hehe, hahahahahahaha!!!”

Noah couldn't hold it back anymore, he laughed so loudly, even a little crazy.

"The last person who said this, Lawrence, worked hard for the Knights for his entire life. On the day of his funeral, only members of Lawrence's clan showed up. Now, fifty years later, the Knights have even wiped out all traces of him. Only within our family are we still keeping records of his deeds."

"Do you want to be the second one? Or do you simply want to escape from the vortex of 'sinners'? Then I will provide you with a way. People who marry Gunhild directly are different from us 'Lawrence'. They are the true uncrowned kings of Mond. They don't even need to spend much effort to clear your name."

"Enough!!!" Eula's face flushed red, "Noah Lawrence, are you insulting me?!"

"Insult... How can this be considered an insult?" Noah smiled with a mask, but his tone became more and more sarcastic, "This is just me, as a younger brother, giving you advice."

"you!!!!"

Eula never knew that Noah, who was so gentle when he was a child, would become such a bastard when he grew up.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Eula was born into a noble family after all, and she was actually very familiar with the nobles' rhetoric.

As she calmed down, the girl began to think about Noah's real intentions.

After a few seconds, she suddenly raised her eyebrows.

"Do you have a way to change Lawrence's current situation?"

Noah smiled without saying anything, but his expression was enough to explain everything.

Now it was Eula's turn to be anxious. She had worked hard for a long time, even going so far as to join the Knights Templar. Wasn't it all for the sake of changing the image of Lawrence as a sinner in the eyes of the people of Mond?

"Tell me your method."

Facing the girl's question, Noah just shook his head calmly.

"Sometimes, knowing too much is not good for you." After saying that, without giving his cousin a chance to continue pestering him, Noah clapped his hands and called the housekeeper, "My cousin wants to go to pay respect to her aunt, take her to the dressing room."

"Yes." The butler responded and walked up to Eula, "Miss, please don't embarrass me."

Upon hearing this, Eula glared at her cousin. She knew that as long as the other party was unwilling, she would never get the answer.

Then he nodded: "Let's go."

Only when Noah saw Eula, wearing a black dress, going to the family cemetery, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He turned sideways and bowed to the side: "My lord, I don't understand."

The next moment, Shen Zhiyi appeared out of thin air. Through the window, he also glanced at Eula as she walked away, but with a strange look on his face: "Are you wondering why I chose Eula instead of you?"

"I dare not." Noah lowered his head deeply. Although he felt jealous and envious of Eula, it was not much.

After all, in terms of closeness, I am the one who is valued by the adults.

"Noah, you are loyal to your family and are the best provider of the quality of 'honesty', so I chose you as my agent in Mond."

Talking about this, Noah's expression became more respectful: "These days, I have never forgotten your cultivation."

In terms of the time when he obtained the transformation device, he actually got it earlier than the one from the Leggenfend family.

Even the fact that Cripps was able to become the chosen one was due to Noah's secret help.

The other party is one of the few neutrals in the aristocratic group. Unless Noah is crazy, he will only choose the former as the provider of "courage" between him and the Grand Commander Falga.

Shen Zhiyi was naturally aware of the agent's secret actions.

But just like what Lei Diandian said to the Traveler in the previous life game, all troubles can be easily solved with absolute strength.

As long as Noah does his job well and the candidates he provides meet the requirements of the seven virtues, Shen Zhiyi doesn't really care who the power of the Giant of Light will be given to.

Even if a lazy person like Lisa appears in the middle, it would just be a waste of time.

It has no impact on subsequent plans at all.

In fact, in Shen Zhiyi's opinion, the first six virtues are not difficult to acquire.

Don’t mention courage and friendship.

To be honest, thanks to Noah, the basics have been basically filled.

As for knowledge, no matter how indifferent Lisa was, she still felt curious about the Evolution Truster during the time when she obtained the transformation device. As long as the corresponding emotions arise, regardless of whether she becomes a Giant of Light afterwards, Shen Zhiyi can collect some virtue information through the Evolution Truster.

After that, just throw the transformation device to the group sent to Mondstadt outside the Ordinance Hall, and don't even need to worry about it. According to calculations, it will take at most a week for "virtue" to fully manifest.

After knowledge, there is innocence.

There are too many candidates.
