READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 3: Chapter 3
After a few sips, Alan Delin put down his glass, and his expression suddenly became a little depressed.
"I know that my position as captain is largely due to my family's influence. If I was born like you, I would definitely not be able to become captain so quickly!"
"If anyone can become captain by relying on the family's influence, then the Knights will not have enough positions." Su Chen looked calm, "Your efforts are obvious to everyone."
Alan Delin does not have the Eye of God, but his strength is very strong.
He is talented and hardworking.
Even in the aristocratic circle, he is rare.
Although the nobles of Mond have transformed from the corrupt old aristocratic era, the thinking that remains deep in the bones of the nobles will not change easily.
It is better to say that after absorbing the experience of the changes in the old aristocratic era, the nobles now know how to restrain themselves and know how to perfectly use the power in their hands to squeeze those ordinary people as much as possible.
There are still many old aristocratic forces in the world. These people are united and have a strong influence in Mond City to this day.
Su Chen has witnessed with his own eyes that the guys holding the glory and power of the nobles wantonly oppressed ordinary people.
Whether they are old nobles or not, such situations can be seen everywhere in Mondstadt.
Even if it is Alendrin, he would not think there is anything wrong.
The reason why nobles are nobles is because they feel that they are superior to others. This is the education they received since childhood and the thought rooted in the depths of their souls.
The so-called political path is nothing more than a game for the powerful.
The reason why he can become the captain at such a young age is that the nobles want to set an example and tell all the commoners that "see, as long as you are obedient and work hard, you can get opportunities regardless of your status."
In addition, his outstanding performance is indeed worthy of praise.
After he became the captain of the investigation, no less than ten noble forces wanted to win him over in order to maintain their family's influence in the Knights.
It is very common for commoners to rely on nobles and use them.
However, these were all rejected by Suchen.
Those nobles did not come to trouble him because Alendrin was there. They thought that Suchen's refusal was because he promised Alendrin, a commoner-born knight, to protect the noble knight, which was reasonable.
[At the age of sixteen, Mondstadt held a duel feast, and the Knights participated. Almost everyone had their own noble forces behind them. The nobles bet on each other and supported the people they favored. This was a game for the powerful. ]
[There is no doubt that you and Alendrin became the focus of the entire Mondstadt. ]
[Alendrin's family found you and hoped that you would deliberately lose to Alendrin in the duel. In return, they would give you a generous reward. ]
[You refused. ]
[Achieved the achievement "Not bending for five pecks of rice". ]
[You deeply realized that Mondstadt's decay had already begun. Whether it was five hundred years ago or five hundred years later, you had a strong desire to change all this. ]
[You reached the end with overwhelming strength, but did not participate in the finals. With your back to the lively cheers, you came to the slums of Mondstadt. ]
[Here you saw the real reality, recalled the fight with monsters, and realized that a person's power is ultimately limited. ]
[You secretly cultivated some followers and established an organization, which you named - 'Dihuo'. ]
...
Chapter 4 Dihuo Organization, Light and Darkness [Fourth Update! ]
Inside Mond City.
A dim underground arena.
The old dim light was reflected in the venue, and the air burst into the sound of long swords intertwining.
It was a ring, and the figures of two young men collided quickly on the ring.
Around the ring was a group of children of the same age as them, staring at the contest between the two with excitement.
The sword skills of the two were not much different, but in the end, the brown-haired boy won.
"Teacher, I won!"
The brown-haired boy ran to Su Chen with excitement.
"Well done."
Su Chen smiled and said, "From today on, you are the leader of the Earth Fire Organization."
The young man panicked: "Teacher, you... don't you want us?"
"Of course not, it's just that my identity is sensitive and it's not suitable for me to appear here often." Su Chen touched his head, "Roland, some things are not that simple, and the Earth Fire is the same. If you want to survive in this city, this road is extremely cruel."
"I'm not afraid!"
Roland said, "As long as what we do is just, I'm not afraid of death!"
[What a pure look, you know at the first sight that this child is different from those who live under the oppression of corrupt dignitaries, so you plan to focus on training him. ]
[Two years, you spent two years recruiting new people for the Earth Fire and training new people. Although the overall number of people in the Earth Fire is not large, each one is an elite. They were born in poverty and have super strong will. ]
[At the age of 20, the Earthfire began to appear in the vision of the people of Mondstadt. It was an assassination operation. In full view of the public, a descendant of a noble who committed murder walked out of the Knights' prison and entered a luxurious carriage, but he was greeted by a killer instead of a butler. ]
[Then in the next six months, Earthfire took action one after another, killing many people who had escaped legal sanctions because of their power, because there were a large number of nobles among them. This incident finally alarmed all the noble forces, and they collectively demanded that the Knights immediately find out The mastermind. ]
[The person in charge of this matter is Aelendlin. After four years of changes, this noble knight has now become more calm. Since winning the championship in the competition, he has high hopes. If these killers who are at large can be captured , maybe he can be promoted to deputy captain immediately. ]
Inside the tavern.
Elendlin drank the wine in the wooden cup in one gulp and cursed fiercely.
"Rustan, where did those damn guys come from? What do they want to do? Do they want to take over the work of the Knights and punish sins?"
Elendlin's investigation is not going well. So far, he only knows that the name of this mysterious force is "Earthfire", and there are no clues at all.
The only consolation is that the targets of every action of Earth Fire are those who carry sins on their bodies.
Otherwise, the security of Mondstadt would have been in chaos long ago.
But also, because this method of sanctioning 'justice' was admired by a large group of Mondstadt people, it also made the management of their knights difficult.
"Isn't this bad?"
Su Chen drank wine calmly, his deep eyes reflecting the lantern in the distance, "Those people can do many things that the knights dare not do for us, which will make our work much easier."
"Are you serious?" Elendlin looked at Su Chen in disbelief, "Rustan, are you serious? As a member of the Knights and the enforcer of Mondstadt, someone is arrogant now. It is our duty to kill people at will and flout the laws of Mondstadt. Shouldn't such people be arrested immediately?"
Su Chen turned his head and looked at him.
"Elendlin, let me ask you, do we really protect Mondstadt? When those great nobles oppressed others, those Mondstadt people were oppressed and killed. Where were we?"
"We will naturally arrest these people." Elendlin said.
"Arrest him, and then?" Su Chen shook his head slightly, "Last month, the guy named Simon was the nephew of the deputy commander. He killed someone, and then what? We had no choice but to let him go in less than a month. Now He is still at home."
"I'm hiding at home."
Elendlin added.
Then he scratched his hair a little irritably.
Indeed, Simon killed someone, but the Knights ultimately determined that it was an accident and that the responsibility lay with another drunkard. The drunkard sobered up the next day after committing the crime, left a letter of confession, and committed suicide.
So of course, after repeated and careful investigations by the Knights, it was discovered that Simon was wrongly accused and released three days ago.
"Maybe he really was wronged..." Alendrin whispered.
"Do you believe this?"
Faced with the question from his friend, Aelendlin was speechless.
He knew the general circumstances of the matter, and Simon might have really killed someone.
But his family, like other aristocratic forces, unanimously believed that this was the problem of the drunkard.
"Rustan, there's nothing we can do about it." Elendlin said solemnly, "Simon's matter involves the deputy captain. He dedicated his life to the Knights, far beyond what you and I can compare with, and the guy who died was just He was a Mondstadt gangster with no manners, maybe his death is good news for Mondstadt."
"Dedicate your life." Su Chen sneered, "You must dedicate your life to the interests of your circle."
"Rustan you...you are always like this, always like this."
Aelendlin did not argue further.
Because he understands Su Chen.
He lacks basic respect for the nobility and always persists in inexplicable places. Just like that competition back then, he was willful and did not participate in the end.
"At least I feel that the Earthfire gang is not carrying out justice, they just found a reason to kill." Elendlin said.
[Your conversation was not pleasant, but you know that Elendlin is not wrong. He is fulfilling his duties, and this guy is different from other nobles in Mondstadt. He is actually protecting Mondstadt. It's just that the general environment is like this. You and There was nothing he could do. ]
[Is justice implemented? You know that this is not what you want to do, and sin must always be punished, but you have no ability to change everything from the root, so all you can do now is kill. ]
[Elendlin is very smart. He feels that the continuous successful assassinations are not necessarily due to the power of the earth fire. It is likely that someone has leaked the information from within the Knights, so a round of self-screening against the Knights began. ]
[In order to divert the attention of the Knights, Roland immediately launched an assassination operation against Simon. In order to avoid suspicion, you did not intervene. The executioner of this assassination was Arya, one of the twelve people who originally followed you. She has a powerful Martial arts, determined to win this assassination. ]
[But no one expected that Simon's family would actually invite a God's Eye owner, and almost all the people who performed the task were wiped out. Arya finally killed Simon and escaped from the noble's house. ]
[The entire city of Mondstadt is in chaos. Seventy percent of the knights have been mobilized to search for Arya's whereabouts. When you arrive at the scene, she is surrounded by a group of knights in front of the huge statue of the God of Wind in Mondstadt Square. ]
[Groups of knights are surrounding you, with no blind spots in all directions, making it impossible for you to do anything for Arya. ]
"The flames of judgment have begun to burn. I am willing to turn my remaining body into firewood and dedicate it to the dawn."
"Freedom is like a dandelion in the wind, flying into the unreachable sky."
"Distant gods, do you hear the call of the pious?"
"She calls you, blowing the budding seeds."
"She calls to you, awakening the numbness of silence."
"She calls to you to blow away the haze in your heart."
Arya held her hands on her chest and stood in front of the statue to pray. The setting sun began to tilt at dusk, and her figure was pulled into the shadow little by little with the light.
Qiang~~
Two daggers appeared in Arya's hands.
She looked in the direction of Su Chen, with tenderness and reluctance deep in her eyes.
"Let's capture them without mercy, you thugs from Earthfire!"
