Genshin Impact, those big guys behind the scenes are all me

Section 16



She has been waiting for five hundred years!

For what Su Chen originally called a 'miracle'.

She still firmly believed in miracles, but her anger, unwillingness, and growing longing had reached an uncontrollable level. If she didn't do something, she was worried that she would be completely burned to death by the fire in her heart.

She is not afraid of death.

I am just afraid that after death, I will no longer be able to see that faint miracle.

Chapter 16 The Earth Fire Burns Again [Sixth Update]

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

Rapid footsteps filled the streets and alleys of Mondstadt.

Different from the past, these elite armed knights did not go outside the city, but launched a search within the city.

The external declaration is to capture the so-called 'remnants of the earth fire'.

Earth fire?

Most of the people of Mondstadt have questions on their minds.

What kind of fire is earth fire?

Have not heard.

But seeing such a big battle, something big must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible to leave the dragon disaster problem unaddressed and spend a lot of time in the city, right?

"Maybe something popped up during the chaos."

Someone guessed.

"The Knights are doing this to protect us."

Only a few people know that the Earth Fire Organization is a terrorist force that has existed for a long time.

Knights Building.

As soon as Su Chen walked outside the office door, he heard Qin's angry voice coming from inside.

"Who allowed you to do this?!"

"Yes, it's an order from the Inspector General, and the Deputy Commander also authorized it, so..."

"Their orders are orders, aren't mine? Have I ever said that the troops stationed in the Benlang Territory must not move? The monsters there have been rioting so frequently recently. Once you withdraw, let the children living nearby What should the people do?”

"Sorry, Captain Qin, I..."

Su Chen stood at the door, turned around and saw Lisa leaning on the door of the library, looking at him with a smile.

Su Chen walked over.

"What's wrong?"

"Come in and talk."

Lisa turned and walked into the library.

Su Chen followed closely and entered the place where Lisa usually worked. There was a little kid sitting there, holding a pen and scribbling on the drawing paper.

Seeing the two of them, the little boy raised his head and said excitedly: "Brother Su Chen, look, look, this is a painting by Keli!"

As he spoke, he raised the drawing paper. On it was a woman holding a little girl's hand. The background was a clear sky with flowers and butterflies on trees. The little girl was carrying a schoolbag and holding a big doll in her arms.

"This is mom, this is Duduke, this is..."

Lisa smiled softly: "Okay Keli, I have something to say to your brother Su Chen. Can you go over there and read by yourself?"

"Oh, I'll go then, but brother Su Chen, you're done, can you go play with Keli?"

Xiao Keli raised her head with an expectant look.

Because of the dragon disaster, Qin restricted Xiao Keli's range of activities to prevent her from running out and causing trouble again.

Su Chen chuckled: "Okay, when we're done we'll go to the Fruit Wine Lake to fry fish."

"Hush! Hush!" Keli quickly raised her index finger and whispered: "We didn't go to fry fish, we went for a walk and eat fish!"

As he spoke, he looked at Lisa with a worried look on his face.

It made the latter dumbfounded.

You are planning this in front of me, and then you still take my feelings into consideration?

Lisa has always stayed out of the trouble between Xiao Keli and Su Chen. She has no choice but to be good in front of the teacher.

After Xiao Keli left, Lisa talked about things in the office.

It turned out that early this morning, the knight team stationed at Benlang Territory returned to the city and launched an operation to capture the Earth Fire Organization.

This order bypassed Qin and was decided jointly by the Knights' Inspector General and Deputy Commander.

That's why Qin was so angry.

Because the garrison of the Benlang Territory was specially dispatched by her to prevent monsters from posing a threat to the people of Qingquan Town and its nearby villages. It was also a guarantee of timely support in case the Abyss Cult appeared.

Now they have all been transferred back.

Once the monsters and the Abyss Cult take action, the people there will suffer.

The trouble is, although Qin is now the leader, she is still an agent after all, and the inspector general and deputy leader within the Knights also have great power.

If the leader is here, he can naturally control them.

But just relying on the piano is not enough.

After all, whether they are the chief inspector or the deputy commander, there are extremely powerful aristocratic groups standing behind them, which cannot be dealt with by Qin alone.

"Why did the Knights suddenly take action?" Su Chen was a little confused. He had been looking at the information Lisa prepared for him yesterday and didn't pay much attention to this matter.

Although he is Qin's assistant, with Su Chen's ability, it does not take much time to complete things within the scope of his responsibilities. He can spend the rest of his time freely.

Interestingly, he learned from Lisa's information that the Earthfire had been being suppressed by the Knights since the disaster of Camria, and the name was still used to avenge Captain Rustan, because according to historical records, Rustan The death is also related to the earth fire.

So now, the forces he created are being targeted on the pretext of avenging him.

"Because the Earthfire has begun to take revenge on Mondstadt."

Lisa had a serious look on her face.

"Last night, a nobleman was assassinated in his home, and the sign of underground fire appeared at the scene."

Although the dragon plague killed many Mondstadts, this was the first time that a noble died.

"If he died, he died. Is it rare to see someone die these days?"

"But he was a noble."

Seeing Su Chen's nonchalant look, Lisa spread her hands: "You also know how high the status of nobles is in Mond."

Su Chen touched his chin. He didn't expect to hear the news of the active underground fire five hundred years later, and it was so explosive.

"Teacher, don't you have any ideas?" Lisa asked in confusion.

"Me? Yes." Su Chen smiled faintly, "Cheer for the underground fire."

Lisa rolled her eyes: "Don't say these words outside."

Few people know about this matter yet, but it will probably spread soon.

By then, the words underground fire will become a taboo in Mond.

Sure enough.

In the afternoon, the whole Mond city knew that the nobles were assassinated by the underground fire.

In the hundreds of years when the underground fire disappeared, the rule of the noble power covered the whole Mond. Although the old nobles were suppressed badly by Su Chen at the beginning, the whole system of Mond was like this. The ideas of the corrupt old nobles were as tenacious as weeds and soon recovered.

Under their propaganda, the Underfire had long been a sinister force that endangered Mondstadt.

However, the noble who was killed this time was a well-known "bully" in Mondstadt. Even if the Underfire was promoted as an unforgivable evil by the nobles, the people of Mondstadt today had not experienced it personally. They only knew that this noble was indeed a bad person.

Therefore, no one cheered or denounced the Knights' actions to eliminate the Underfire. More people took a wait-and-see attitude.

Su Chen was also watching. He did not intervene, wanting to see what the Underfire would become after five hundred years.

As for the nobles killed by the Underfire, Su Chen had no pity in his heart. He did not deny that there were indeed many reliable guys among the nobles of Mondstadt, but there were still more unreliable ones. This was a situation that could not be changed. When a person was high above, powerful, and influential, the evil buried in his heart would always drive him to do something that crossed the boundaries of the law.

Therefore, the importance of strict law enforcement should transcend the class gap between nobles and civilians, but this kind of thing cannot be seen in Mondstadt, because the power of the noble group was too great, and Qin could not reverse it alone.

Su Chen had a deep understanding of this.

In the next two days, Dihuo's actions surprised him.

After the Knights were dispatched, Dihuo not only did not restrain himself, but became more aggressive, killing another nobleman and kneeling his body in front of the statue of the God of Wind, as if repenting.

Now all the nobles in Mondstadt finally panicked.

Obviously, Dihuo had no intention of stopping, so none of them could guarantee whether they would be the next person to be sanctioned.

In this case, the noble group asked the Knights to increase their efforts to eliminate Dihuo. If it were not for Qin's strong opposition, most of the Knights on duty would probably be transferred back.

Although she was also angry about Dihuo's behavior.

But the safety of the people of Mondstadt under the dragon disaster could not be ignored.

However, Dihuo soon did something that caused unrest in Mondstadt again - they lent a hand to the poor people who were in the dragon disaster, providing a large amount of supplies and food to help them overcome the difficulties.

Just like Su Chen's operation when Dihuo was running, this move made Dihuo's reputation in the hearts of the people of Mondstadt soar.

On the other hand, the Knights, because of the large number of personnel withdrawn from outside, caused the monsters to riot constantly, more and more people were attacked by monsters, and there was a great chaos in public security.

So, there was a clear gap in the image of the two sides.

In this situation, the Knights still vigorously strangled the members of the Earth Fire.

There were constant complaints in the city.

The fighting brought panic and anxiety, and the blood in Mondstadt greatly stimulated the inner emotions of the people of Mondstadt, because the nerves that were tense under the threat of dragon disasters for a long time were almost reaching the extreme.

The whole Mondstadt was visibly filled with a repressive atmosphere, as if it could erupt at any time.

"Alas~"
