Raiden Shogun sheathed her blade, sneering: “Of course I know you’re joking. I was just trying to scare you. But…”
“Does the Heavenly Principles care about being soft-hearted? I don’t think so.”
Of course.
No matter what, Raiden Shogun wanted to try.
At least try, the Heavenly Principles will either agree or disagree, at least a fifty percent chance.
If she doesn’t do anything, the probability is zero.
...
On the giant screen.
The Great Tree King’s speech ended, the screen returned to Lin Mo.
“The trial will continue, but before we continue, I will first rectify the Seven Archons of the mortal world.”
As soon as Lin Mo said this.
Venti, Zhongli, Raiden Shogun, the Tsaritsa and even Nahida, instantly became tense.
The first four, belonging to the gods of the Seven Archon combination, needless to say.
As for Nahida.
The Hydro Archon’s throne was destroyed, and the concept of Hydro Archon no longer exists.
Plus, she had recovered the Ancient Dragon’s power from Focalors.
As the Complete Dragon, perhaps she had already become a thorn in the side of the Heavenly Principles.
It is not impossible that the Heavenly Principles will settle the score with her, like before.
Nahida, though now a Complete Dragon, her accumulation is too weak.
In terms of strength, she is still not as good as the original Seven Dragon Kings.
If the Heavenly Principles really come after her, she will be powerless to resist.
Then.
Lin Mo started to call out names: “Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, known as Venti, do you know what problems you have as the Anemo Archon?”
Outside the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
About Venti’s true identity, just now, Jean’s butt…
Oh no, Jean, the Acting Grand Master, had already told everyone in the Knights.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone was no longer surprised by the fact that the alcoholic bard who had been hanging around Mondstadt all year round was actually the Anemo Archon.
“Well…”
Venti scratched his head, awkwardly and politely said, “I like to drink? That shouldn’t be a problem, right? After all, everyone has their own hobbies, I believe Lin Mo, you will understand.”
“As for the rest, please tell me, Lin Mo.”
As soon as Venti finished.
Paimon started complaining in the chat room.
Paimon: “You don’t know what problems you have? Which god is as addicted to alcohol as you?!”
Raiden Shogun: “The Anemo Archon? He can really drink, but when it comes down to it, this shouldn’t be a problem.”
Lumine: “The Heavenly Principles might think there’s a problem with Venti not ruling for hundreds of years?”
Lisa: “Ha, a national god doesn’t rule for hundreds of years, do the Mondstadt people even know they have an Anemo Archon?”
Paimon: “They should know, it’s just that everyone has gotten used to it.”
Jean: “During the time when Venti wasn’t ruling, Mondstadt was first violently ruled by the nobles, then the nobles were overthrown and we, the Knights of Favonius, took over the ruling, but it’s not as strict as other countries.”
Kaeya: “Simply put, it’s more free, isn’t the ideal that the Anemo Archon pursues freedom?”
.......
While everyone in the chat room was discussing whether there was a problem with Venti’s absence from ruling for hundreds of years as the Anemo Archon.
Lin Mo spoke: “As the god of a country, yet acting as a hands-off boss for a long time, in my opinion, this is a sign of irresponsibility.”
“Although you will step in to solve any crisis in Mondstadt, because of your long absence from ruling, it has created the current situation of Mondstadt citizens being like giant babies.”
“Let’s see what the Mondstadt citizens are like today.”
With that.
The screen on the giant screen switched.
【“Acting Grand Master Jean, my cat is missing, can you help me find it?”】
【“Traveller over there, I just ran into a group of Slimes, I ran all the way back, but I lost my key, can you help me find it? It must be around here.”】
【“I need three apples, can you help me find some?” Lian begged the Traveller with a troubled expression.】
【However, not far from her, there was an apple tree laden with fruit.】
【“........”】
【Borrowing a book but not returning it, then losing it and asking someone to help find it.】
【Moving something that’s a little heavy, also asking the Knights of Favonius for help.】
【There are countless such things.】
These video clips played, making many people start to get headaches.
What kind of giant babies are these.
Xiao: “I even doubt if the Mondstadt people have the ability to take care of themselves?”
Kamisato Ayaka: “Slimes and Hilichurls, these monsters need the Knights of Favonius to help, that’s understandable, but why do you need to ask for help for such daily things as finding cats, keys, and moving things?”
Paimon: “Jean, the Acting Grand Master, is doing it herself, I don’t even want to say anything.”
Kamisato Ayato: “Are these really adults? I feel like they’re not even as good as a few-year-old child.”
Tighnari: “Is this an isolated incident or a common phenomenon?”
Jean: “......It’s a common phenomenon.”
Furuina: “This is too ridiculous, although I was once the Hydro Archon, but after stepping down as the Hydro Archon, even I know that if you want to eat something, just make it yourself. But they’re fine, they want to eat something and they have to post a commission.”
“........”
“Ah, this...”
Venti was speechless for a moment.
He knew about these phenomena among the Mondstadt people.
But Venti didn’t take it to heart before.
After all, Mondstadt is a nation ruled without gods, and with the Knights of Favonius to help handle affairs.
He naturally wouldn’t pay too much attention to these daily trivialities.
Then, Lin Mo’s reprimand came: “Ask, besides Mondstadt, is there any other nation on the continent of Teyvat whose citizens are in this state?”
“Human civilization is a process of continuous progress, and you pursue the so-called ideal of freedom, but it has caused the people of Mondstadt to regress. If this continues, in the near future, the people of Mondstadt will degenerate to the point where they need others to take care of their food and clothing.”
“Barbatos, in your opinion, is this a result of your irresponsibility?”
Lin Mo didn’t object to Venti’s pursuit of the so-called ideal of freedom.
But freedom, after all, still needs to be limited.
If freedom is unlimited, then even the Knights of Favonius shouldn’t exist.
In that case, Mondstadt will gradually evolve into a dark world where evil breeds.
Unlimited freedom means that even order and rule of law don’t exist.
“Lin Mo, you’re right.”
What else could Venti say?
The giant baby behaviour of the Mondstadt people.
They’re lighter than a feather, but once they get on the scale, even a thousand pounds won’t be enough.
After all, the direction in which the people of a country will develop largely depends on the rulers, the national system and the policies.
