Watching the graceful figure flitting between different shops ahead, Gu Changge couldn't help but smile.
It seems that,
No matter what world it is, shopping is a woman's nature!
Whether it's humans or demons, they're all the same.
However, upon noticing the drunks stumbling down the street, Gu Changge's sword-like eyebrows furrowed.
Is this Mondstadt's freedom?
Is this the freedom that the Fish-Catching Monster desires?
A little too much!
If he and Heuliya hadn't arrived earlier, Mondstadt would have been attacked by the Stormterror.
But these people only know how to drink and have fun, completely disregarding anything else.
They rely on the Knights of Favonius for everything, it's simply absurd.
In Gu Changge's eyes, this isn't freedom, it's laziness, it's an escape.
Freedom is never the same as indulgence.
However,
After so many years of development, Mondstadt has become indulgent, taking a path of distorted freedom.
Moments later,
Gu Changge sighed slightly, choosing to ignore these sickening fellows.
As for Mondstadt's affairs, he didn't want to get involved, after all, it had nothing to do with him.
No matter what the future holds for Mondstadt, it's their own doing, they have no one to blame but themselves.
...
"Move!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Hurry up and get out of the way, don't block the road!"
A chorus of chaotic voices came,
Followed by a very arrogant voice coming from behind.
What's going on?
Gu Changge was puzzled and turned to look behind him.
He saw a group of people swaggering towards him, all the pedestrians quickly dodging to the sides, not daring to provoke them.
Gu Changge: ???
What the heck?
So arrogant?!
Is this even Mondstadt?
Mondstadt is the City of Freedom, while many Mondstadters are lazy escapists, no one should be this arrogant, right?
Just as Gu Changge was puzzled, a hand reached out and pulled him aside, "Hey, are you a traveler from Liyue?"
"You don't know, they're envoys from the Winter Palace, they're very domineering!"
"If I hadn't pulled you away just now, you would have been beaten up by them. It's best not to provoke them."
Gu Changge twitched his lips, he would be beaten up?
Think again!
After glancing at the group of people passing by, Gu Changge casually sent out a few strands of primordial energy, silently falling into the bodies of several people.
As the saying goes, the sky is angry with rain, people are angry with misfortune.
If they hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have bothered.
But these guys were arrogant to his face and didn't even react, that's not Gu Changge's style.
The strands of primordial energy that Gu Changge had sent out were now seemingly undetectable, but they would take effect within a day.
If they were lucky, they might be able to spend a lifetime in bed, if they weren't lucky, well, they could start the feast.
But those guys earlier weren't Mondstadt nobles, they were envoys from the Winter Palace?
That means the Fatui?
They don't look like it?
And isn't it La Signora who came to Mondstadt?
Where is La Signora?
Wait!
This is Mondstadt!
Gu Changge looked at the person who had pulled him aside in shock. He was an ordinary-looking young man, but his clothes were not simple, they were very luxurious.
Clearly,
This is a Mondstadt noble.
"Brother, this is Mondstadt, right? Why are these Fatui so arrogant?"
"Doesn't anyone care?"
"Heh, so what if it's Mondstadt?"
"The Knights of Favonius are too useless, so these envoys from the Winter Palace don't take them seriously."
"If..."
"Forget it, what am I telling you, an outsider, for?"
The man scoffed and left, shaking his head.
Gu Changge twitched his lips, he had encountered such a strange fellow?
Absurd!
If there were no Knights of Favonius, Mondstadt would have been conquered long ago.
And,
The current situation of the Knights of Favonius is also caused by the actions of Faruzan.
In order to cultivate Jean, Faruzan made her the Acting Grand Master and took away the majority of the Knights from those noble factions.
He only considered reducing the resistance Jean faced when taking over the Knights, but he didn't consider whether the remaining Knights, after he took away four-fifths of their strength, would be able to defend Mondstadt.
The biggest problem the Knights of Favonius face now is not anything else, it's a lack of people.
Otherwise, even if the Anemo Archon had disappeared for hundreds of years, as long as the gods didn't intervene, with a complete Knights of Favonius, no force would dare to act rashly.
Unlike now,
The Fatui are so arrogant, they don't even take the Knights seriously.
And,
From the man's attitude earlier, Mondstadt now faces not only external threats, but also internal strife.
Mondstadters rely on the Knights of Favonius for everything, yet they are dissatisfied with them.
Gu Changge believes,
There are definitely many people like this, otherwise the man wouldn't have told him so openly.
After all, there were many people around, if there were very few people dissatisfied with the Knights of Favonius, those around them would have already refuted him.
However, the fact is that no one refuted him.
It's truly terrifying!
For a moment,
Gu Changge couldn't help but feel sorry for Jean.
This is the Mondstadt she has been trying her best to protect, is such a Mondstadt really worth it?
To be honest,
Gu Changge doesn't think so.
Even,
If he were in Jean's position, the first thing he would do is to carry out a major purge, completely eliminating the internal hidden dangers.
As for the lack of people, that's actually quite simple.
Remove the restrictions, recruit aggressively, select more talented individuals from the commoners, and completely control Mondstadt.
Gu Changge doesn't believe that with the population of a nation as a support, they wouldn't be able to recruit enough Knights.
Unfortunately,
Jean comes from the Gunnhildr family, the education she received from a young age has made it impossible for her to even achieve the first point.
It's even more difficult to change.
Jean's unwavering heart of protection is her greatest strength, but it will also become her most fatal weakness.
Moments later,
Gu Changge sighed and walked towards Heuliya who was inside a shop not far away.
After what happened earlier, he didn't have the mood to continue wandering.
Why not take Heuliya to the Good Hunter restaurant to have something to eat?
If he's lucky, he might even encounter a target or two.
He hasn't encountered any target since the Stormterror before entering the city.
