Chapter 547 Barbatos and Diekarapian
——Teyvat
Liyue, Guiliji, Guili’s home.
"...From the moment the rebellion began, the old order was doomed to collapse, even if the price I paid was my death..."
"I am willing to do so."
Lin's bitter smile eventually turned into a relieved smile.
[…I feel a little complicated.]
[Is this the tyrant that the Monds have been singing about? Now I understand why he appears as a woman...]
[Mond! Look at what you have done to my queen! ]
[The real reason for victory is that the enemy has no intention of fighting at all... She is so gentle. ]
[So a demon god who could rival the Rock King would be defeated by a wind elf and a group of humans. ]
[She was defeated voluntarily, so how could there be any demon remnants and resentment after her death? Fortunately, she is still alive, how great...]
Ying fell silent.
Paimon didn't know how to comment.
The legends passed down from generation to generation in Mondstadt were so deeply rooted in people's hearts that their first impression of the Lone King of the Tower was not actually a good one.
However, after suddenly hearing the truth.
The image of the tyrant in my mind shattered and then reunited into an image of a majestic demon.
Willing to sacrifice his life for his people, and even willing to be defeated by humans... He is not an evil god like Osel.
He may not be a gentle king, but He must be a loving god like Morax and Guizhong.
How could such a god, after being defeated or even killed by his own people, produce such evil creatures as the Demon Remnants?
After a long while, Ying asked, "Don't you feel regretful? You destroyed the kingdom you built with your own hands."
Lin shook his head and said:
"It's impossible to say I have no regrets at all."
"I defeated the demons from all directions for my people, built a wind wall for them to resist the wind and snow in the extreme cold, and established a pure land for my people in the extreme environment."
"But in the end, I will destroy my kingdom with my own hands."
"I am a demon god, I also have emotions and desires. It is impossible for me to have no regrets about all this."
"But no matter how much I regret it, it has already happened."
"The past is the past. Regret is the most useless emotion. The only thing to do is to let it go and move on."
"That makes sense, but who told you to restrict the freedom of the Mondstadt people? If you didn't do all this, they wouldn't resist."
Paimon spoke up for the Mond people.
But soon, she sensed something was wrong in Lin's words and asked, "Wait, you said to build a wind wall in the extreme cold?"
"Wasn't that wind wall built to restrict the freedom of the people of Mondstadt?"
Rin chose to remain silent.
She was thinking about whether to tell the truth.
Seeing this, Xiaojun Bai explained:
"Paimon, history is written by the victors. It must be beautified before it appears in history books."
"It doesn't matter why Rin built the wind wall."
"What matters is why the rebels rebel."
"So much so that the people of Mond have forgotten that the original Mond was a land of ice and snow that was no less cold than the winter today."
"Mondstadt was freezing cold at that time, with ice and snow everywhere."
"The Mond people were willing to accept the tyrant's rule in the beginning because the tyrant was willing to provide them with a place to live."
“Although the wind wall restricts the freedom of those inside, it also provides them with a place to live.”
"The people of Mondstadt rebelled because their freedom was restricted by the tyrant. But without the tyrant's wind wall, how could they have lived to the day of the rebellion? This cannot be said to be Rin's fault."
[Yes, that is the truth. The King of the Tower built the wind wall to restrict the freedom of those inside, but that wall is the guarantee for protecting the lives of the Mondstadt people.]
[The story about this part is finally revealed in the plot. The Lonely King of the High Tower is obviously a good guy! ]
[The people of Mondstadt are really giant babies. The King of the Tower can be said to be their savior, and the way these people repay their gratitude is rebellion. ]
[Perhaps some people could have noticed this, but the rebellion still broke out in the end. The fault was not with me, the king, but with those nobles.]
[The lonely king of the tower loves his people, but the nobles oppress his people in the name of tyranny, which leads to war...]
When Paimon heard this, he was immediately speechless.
"Is this the truth about the Wind Wall? Miss Rin may not be good at ruling, but she is a very gentle demon."
Ying smiled at Lin.
Lin shook his head and said, "He's just a tyrant. There is no word gentle in a tyrant's dictionary. The truly gentle one is Barbatos."
"I built a wind wall to keep out the cold. It's a temporary solution."
"But He blew away the snow and wind, and transformed Mond into a place suitable for the people of Mond. This is a fundamental solution."
Lin looked at the Guili House behind him, as if he wanted to see Wendy directly through the building.
A smile appeared on her delicate face, and she said softly:
"Whatever the reason, my people chose to rebel under my rule. This is a fact."
"It is also true that the people of Barbatos smile with ease under His rule."
“There is a world of difference between ruling and governing.”
"He is more suitable for the position of Wind God than me."
Lin looked at the little Junbai beside him, who was not even as tall as his waist, and rubbed his little head, smiling:
"I listened to your advice and gave most of the power to Barbatos. It was truly the best decision I ever made."
"Thank you, little Femix~"
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to listen to my advice when you were meeting me for the first time and you were my enemy."
"but……"
Xiao Junbai slapped away the hand that was messing up his hair and said, "Just talk properly, why are you rubbing my head?"
“It was like this before…”
【Fuck, I suddenly feel a bit against this couple. 】
[I forgot who said it, but Lin is one of Bai Ge’s rumored girlfriends, so you know what I mean.]
[Bai Lin opens the market, hurry up if you want to buy shares! ]
[Wait, most of the power will be given to Barbatos? I don't quite understand what you mean? Does this mean...]
[That's right, could it be that, some archaeologists have previously analyzed that Wendy's power may have come from the gift of the lonely king of the tower. ]
[Good fellow, with a power comparable to that of the Rock King, he gave up just like that, and even handed it over to the enemy under Brother Bai’s suggestion…]
[Now I know where the rumors about Bai Ge and Miss Lin came from. It doesn’t matter. I don’t believe it either.]
Barbatos' power comes from the gift from the lonely king of the tower, which is a little-known hidden history.
It is precisely because of the terrifying power of the Tornado Demon that Barbatos is able to blow away the wind and snow that has shrouded Mondstadt for many years.
It can be said that the biggest help for Barbatos to become the God of Wind was not Jun Bai who came from Liyue to help, but Lin.
——Digression
I'll read the next chapter at 12:. I started writing a little late today and I'm almost done with the second chapter.
So you wait half an hour before watching.
I'll revise it in half an hour.
