Chapter 629 Answer, Confrontation with Tianyue
Rustam was not the first Teyvatian to be suspicious, or even wary, of the International Brigades.
For example, why is it named "International Brigade" when it is a force established in Xumi? What is the purpose of this organization? As the founder, Tianhe studies the abyss, what is his intention...
Rustam got the answers to these questions from Tianhe.
Rustan asked: "Tianhe, please tell me, why did you choose the name of this organization as the International Brigade?"
Tianhe gave an appropriate explanation for this, he said.
"Before explaining this problem, let me tell you one thing about the composition of the International Brigade. It's not just the Xumi people, there are also people from the other six countries of Teyvat, and of course, you are one of us.
"It even includes the survivors of some ancient countries of Teyvat, such as the Kanreya people. Although the emergence of this disaster has a lot to do with Kanreya. But please note that it has nothing to do with these survivors. Don't vent your anger on them."
"Rustan, when you learn this information, you may be shocked and angry, but remember, our enemy is never them, but the abyss."
Rustan was silent for a long time. She thought of her comrades who were seriously injured by the invasion of the abyss monsters, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.
But in the end, Rustam said, "...I understand, but you still haven't told me the answer to this question..."
"Oh, I knew you would ask. Let me first tell you the original intention of establishing this organization. On the one hand, it is to fight against the Abyss. On the other hand, I want to completely transform the Abyss and use its power for my own benefit. Maybe you think I am daydreaming, but my research in this area has yielded results."
After hearing what Tianhe said, Rustan was very curious, "...Um, can you let me see the results you mentioned?"
"Of course, but not now. I'll take you to see it later." Tianhe was not talking nonsense. The nature of the Abyss seemed similar to the Honkai next door, but many places were actually different. However, for Tianhe, studying this thing was only a matter of time.
"Come to think of it, I'm friends with your wind god, Barbatos. I also have a photo of him, would you like to see it?"
"Really?" Speaking of Barbatos, as a Mondstadt person, Rustam really couldn't resist the temptation. In Mondstadt, which Mondstadt person could resist Barbatos.
So Tianhe handed over Wendy's photo without hesitation. Anyway, she was sleeping and Rustan would not bother her for the time being, so he just looked at it.
When Rustan saw the first photo, she thought she was seeing things. She knew this person, named Wendy. However, in her impression, Wendy was just a bard who could drink. How could this guy be the god of wind?
However, the following photo dispelled her doubts. This was Wendy in her divine form, full of divinity, charm, and a sense of security. In addition, there was a photo of Wendy and Tianhe, who looked very intimate.
Faced with the evidence, Rustan chose to believe Tianhe, and she handed the photo back.
"Well, I won't lie to you about this. Speaking of which, my relationship with Him is quite complicated. Oh, by the way, after the Kanreya War, He will probably sleep for a while. But don't worry, there is nothing wrong with Him, it's just that He will sleep a little longer."
Tianhe couldn't help but make a joke, but it was obvious that Rustan didn't seem to like this joke. She glared at Tianhe fiercely, but Tianhe selectively ignored her.
"As for the naming of the International Brigade, the emphasis is still on the word 'international'. The reason I named it this way is because I want to build a community with a shared future for the people of Teyvat. Maybe you can't understand it now. But as time goes by, Teyvat will show a trend of unification."
"I hope to achieve the ultimate goal of unification through peaceful means. Please don't get me wrong, although I am the founder of the International Brigade, if that day really comes, I will hand over power to someone who is worthy of trust. After all, I really have no interest in so-called power. I prefer to be a street urchin."
Rustan snorted coldly, "Hmph, yes or no, I will witness it with my own eyes." Having said that, Rustan did let down his guard, which might be a good thing.
Tianhe didn't lie. Now he has no idea about power or anything like that. Otherwise, why would he choose to run away?
Back to the present... As a special observer, Rustan did not know Tianyue. However, the moment she saw Tianyue's appearance, Rustan could no longer sit still. If nothing unexpected happened, she stopped Tianyue, showed her special observer's ID, and said she wanted to talk to her alone.
Rustan didn't know Tianyue, but Tianyue knew her. The moment she knew Rustan's identity, Tianyue readily agreed to talk to her.
It's getting hotter these days. Hey, the people in the dormitory are still very noisy. It's really annoying. I have no mood to write at all...
