Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point
Chapter 36 Secrets in the City
The little girl’s family name is Carissa and the little girl’s name is Annie.
As soon as I stepped into Carissa's house, a warm atmosphere hit me.
This place is different from Willy's house, there is no magnificent decoration, only some simple ornaments.
They used strange branches to hang on the wall, and various strange stones to stand on the bookshelf. There were many booklets on the bookshelf, most of which Wendy had never seen before.
They even prepared a wall with many paintings hanging on it. Those paintings were very simple, and compared with the master-level works of Verali, they were seventy or eighty Teyvat continents away.
But it looked particularly beautiful in Wendy's eyes.
Wendy stood in front of the wall and looked up to admire it. Seeing this, Mrs. Carissa came over and said, "My daughter painted this to make you laugh."
Wendy's eyes did not leave the wall. He shook his head and said, "The painting is very good. Such a childlike painting is priceless. Even I want one."
"Then I will draw a picture for my big brother now!" After saying that, Annie sat on the sofa and started to create seriously with crayons.
Wendy did not disturb her and continued to enjoy the murals. She couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that in such troubled times, there could be such childlike works. It is really worth collecting."
"Troubled times?" Mrs. Carissa was a little confused.
And her doubts made Wendy even more confused. Willy said that they didn't know about God before, but the people in the old city brought news about God, so it stands to reason that they should also know about the situation outside.
So Wendy said bluntly: "Yes, there is a demon war going on outside the city, do you really not know?"
"Demon...war? What is that?" Mrs. Carissa's blank expression revealed that she didn't know.
Wendy didn't know how to explain it for a moment. His intuition told him that before overthrowing the nobles, talking too much about things outside the city to ordinary people like them would only put them into a more difficult situation.
Seeing Wendy's embarrassment, Mrs. Carissa was considerate and stopped asking questions. She just sat aside and said, "The people in the city are living a relatively prosperous life. If it weren't for the emergence of refugees, we wouldn't know that there is such a thing as a god outside." .”
This made Wendy realize there was a problem. The refugees brought God's message, but as long as they left Xuefeng Town, they would know God's existence.
Willy's business was all done in Liyue, where the war between demons and gods was the most intense, so it stands to reason that he should have known about it for a long time.
Thinking about it this way, there is only one possibility. The existence of gods is not a rare thing in the aristocratic circle, but in order to rule and restrict people's thoughts, they chose to hide it from the people in the city.
It was just that it was concealed so well that Wendy couldn't help but be a little surprised as to how it was done. After all, there is no airtight wall in the world.
"Before the refugees arrived, did you really not hear anything about God?" Wendy continued to ask.
Mrs. Carissa shook her head: "No, some people have said that there are gods in this world, but we don't believe it. In our eyes, the Dorian family is the only one who can protect us."
However, the refugees brought the Eye of God, and the existence of the Eye of God indicates that God really exists.
This will also shake the Dorian family's rule over Xuefeng Town.
But the Eye of God is really precious, so if it is owned by a refugee, the nobles will auction it off, but if it is an ordinary person, nobles like Willy will come to show their kindness.
Of course, this is just Wendy's guess, not what Mrs. Carissa said.
"Then do you believe in God now?" Wendy wondered.
The lady shook her head and told Wendy that if God really existed, how could those refugees end up like this.
But most of the people at the bottom hope that there really is a god, and those who don't, except for the nobles, are the traders and middle-level people who seem to be dependent on the nobles.
"Because you have the eyes of God, I noticed the apple seller when you first came in. Her family works under the Dorian family. If you really smashed her stall, you would be in jail now." Or, you have been auctioned off."
"So scary!" Wendy looked shocked and then lucky.
From this point of view, their guess was not wrong. There was some power behind the apple seller.
"By the way, why do they ban poetry and music?" Wendy continued to ask.
"Because the refugees love poetry and music, that is the source of their power to overthrow the gods of the past. It is said that their new god loves music, and the city prohibits it because they are afraid that they will call the god back."
Wendy chuckled and murmured in a low voice: "You don't need to change, you can do it yourself."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Carissa didn't hear clearly and looked at Wendy suspiciously.
Wendy immediately smiled: "I'm asking what kind of existence the Dorian family is?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Carissa began to explain to the stranger.
The Dorian family is now the real power in the city. In the past three years, their family has been the champion of the Snow Wind Contest.
Because of this, the Dorian family became the nobles among the nobles.
This story reminded Wendy of the Lawrence family again.
"Then there are no rules or laws in your city?" Wendy wondered. Although the Lawrence family was arrogant back then, they still punished people according to the rules.
"Yes, but these so-called rules and laws are made by the nobility, and the actual people in power within the nobility are the Dorian family. How can this be fair?"
From this point of view, if ordinary residents in the city are not living a comfortable life, then the Dorian family cannot afford to stay.
It's just that Wendy is a little curious, no matter which demon god would covet such a lively city.
Even he, because he was used to the time of the Demon God War, when he saw it for the first time, Wendy subconsciously thought that it would be wonderful if they could all become believers.
However, this city could survive the troubled times unscathed and even develop its economy, which puzzled Wendy very much.
When talking about Wushen, the first thing Wendy thought of was Kanria, but it was definitely not Kanria's help.
At this moment, Kanria is living and working in peace and contentment in their own country, developing technology, and has no control over the demon war on the ground. Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, they are not willing to get involved.
From this point of view, there can only be an unknown strong man protecting this place.
Last night, Wendy had already let the nobles know about the arrival of God. If the person protecting the city was here, he would definitely make some moves, and perhaps we could wait to get a conclusion.
In addition, the Snow Wind Competition was coming soon, so it was time for him to learn about the competition.
So Wendy decided not to think about it anymore. For now, it was better to have dinner with Anne happily.
After dinner, Wendy returned to the hotel with the damaged Qin and the paintings given by Annie. At this moment, Siswan and Edwin had not returned yet, which made Wendy a little worried.
So, he came to the window and began to capture the information in the wind.
Just when everything was normal, suddenly a voice came through his ears in the wind. It was Edwin's voice. He was shouting: "Help!"
