"Surrender, or death."
A cold and authoritative voice came from the wind, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of Mondstadt.
All of humanity looked in the direction of the sound.
The Hilichurls were the first to be overcome by their instinctive fear and submission, and they knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
Then came the Abyss Mage.
Then came the people, soldiers, and knights of Mondstadt...
Those Mondstadt people who had witnessed the one-sided, horrific massacre firsthand looked at Lin Jiu'an, who was like a god, and were the first to kneel down, prostrating themselves with their foreheads pressed to the ground, trembling.
Their actions spread like a plague.
Whether monster or human, friend or foe, at this moment there is only one thought in my mind.
'Submission'.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Epilogue (Part 1) (7K)
When Lin Jiu'an returned to his office.
open the door.
Then he saw an incredibly sexy white-haired beauty sitting in the chair that belonged to him, legs crossed, arms folded, leisurely sipping a glass of wine with ice.
"So what's going on?"
D'Artagnan was starting to get a little frantic.
He didn't understand how things had suddenly turned out this way.
Just now, when Lin Jiu'an was fighting the Abyss Apostle, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack so that he could capture Lin Jiu'an and force him to find out the whereabouts of the Heart of the Rock God, but "Lady" launched a sneak attack on him first.
Lin Jiu'an looked at Rosalyn: "Didn't you explain it to him?"
Rosalind glanced at D'Artagnan with disdain: "You know I never like to waste my breath on idiots."
Lin Jiu'an nodded slightly: "I understand."
D'Artagnan: "?"
"Beneath that youthful appearance lies the body of a warrior honed to perfection."
Lin Jiu'an always felt that there should be another half sentence added at the end.
"And an underdeveloped brain."
He always thought this guy was pretty innocent.
Back in Liyue, he used a copy of the Unbound Talisman to release the vortex demon Oser, which had been suppressed underground, and sent his minions to sabotage the new Returning Machine, causing a great war in an attempt to force the Geo Archon to intervene.
Then what...?
If this hadn't all been part of Zhongli and Rosalin's plan...
Let alone whether he could get the Heart of Geo from the living God of War Zhongli, he didn't even know how that guy managed to leave Liyue alive.
After hearing the brief explanation, D'Artagnan looked as if he had eaten ten pounds of excrement.
"Are you saying that everything I did from beginning to end was part of your plan?"
"You can't say that."
“I knew that you released the Vortex Demon after Rosalind left, and that you later discovered the Heart of the Rock God on me and wanted to join forces with the merchants to deal with me. I deliberately let you go afterward because I wanted you to join forces with the merchants I didn’t have time to kill, so that I wouldn’t have to search for them one by one.”
"But I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, helping me solve the problems in Mondstadt as well."
Looking at Lin Jiu'an's expression, which seemed to be praising him for "doing a good job," Dadalia felt a pang of pain in his heart, and even had the urge to dig a hole and bury his head in it.
What a shame.
"Then why couldn't you have told me in advance? I was willing to cooperate with you for the sake of the Heart of the Geo God."
"I don't think you have the brains for that."
Lin Jiu'an said calmly, "To be able to discover that the Heart of the Rock God is on me and to attack me directly without considering my previous relationship with Rosalyn, although it was within my expectations, and there is also the reason that you have a bad relationship with your colleagues, I think you are not qualified to act."
"I just feel..."
D'Artagnan wanted to struggle a little more, but after opening her mouth, she finally sighed.
"Alright, now what about the Heart of the Geo Archon? Should we have it now?"
"No rush. After you return to Winterfall and report this matter truthfully to your Queen, especially regarding the 'Doctor,' I will give the Heart of the Geo Archon to Rosalind."
"Rosalyn? Who?"
D'Artagnan paused, then gave the "lady" a strange look, as even he didn't know his colleague's real name.
Have these two gotten to this point in their relationship?
"Fool, what are you looking at me for?"
D'Artagnan felt that the woman seemed to be angry and embarrassed.
"I have already written down the matter in a letter and sent it to the Queen. Judging by the time it has been delivered, it should have reached the Queen by now."
The words fell.
Before he could ask for the Heart of the Rock God again, D'Artagnan sensed that the two men were looking at him strangely.
Lin Jiu'an was alright, though he couldn't help but laugh a little, while Rosalin made no attempt to hide the sarcasm and mockery in her eyes.
"Believe."
Then, Dadalia watched in despair as Lin Jiu'an pulled a letter out from under the documents.
"The letter you sent to your sister Donya should have reached Zhidong by now, but I stopped the letter to the Queen."
Lin Jiu'an pressed the letter with two fingers and pushed it in front of D'Artagnan.
The commenter added, "The emotions are quite rich, but it's a bit awkward to watch."
D'Artagnan: 'What the hell?!?'
······
Haven't you been busy with work lately?
Inside a private room on the second floor of "Cat Tail Tavern".
Lisa held her wine glass, one hand supporting her chin and the other swirling the wine in it, watching Qin across from her with great interest.
"Why do you have time to come to me?"
More than half a month has passed since the Abyss Order's invasion.
The rioters who took advantage of the chaos at the time were identified by the people of Mondstadt afterward.
Lin Jiu'an consistently adopted the "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free" approach, sending the ringleaders and those who committed serious crimes, along with the nobles and merchants who participated in the rebellion and cooperated with the Fools, to the market for beheading.
The remaining people were thrown into prison, which served as the basis for the "Centennial Labor Reform" program, and Mondstadt was rebuilt free of charge.
This can be considered as giving Barbatos some face.
They were not openly reduced to slavery.
As the leader of the Knights, Jean has been very busy lately.
Her biological mother, Frederica, originally said that she wanted her to rest well during this period because of her valiant fighting that day. However, after being exhausted and unconscious for two days, she had just woken up and devoted herself to the post-disaster reconstruction work in Mondstadt.
However, the damage caused that day was still too great.
Even though half a month has passed.
Mondstadt has only just been completely cleared of its ruins.
However, because of Lin Jiu'an's tough approach of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," he killed quite a few people, so there was no housing shortage problem. In addition, with the support from Liyue, although life was a bit tough, no one went hungry, and everything was developing in a positive direction.
"I haven't been able to concentrate on my work lately."
Lisa looked at her in surprise and reached out to touch her head.
"what are you doing?"
"I don't have a fever."
Lisa's scrutinizing gaze made Qin feel uneasy.
Just as she was about to lose control, Lisa revealed a suggestive smile.
"I get it, you're having romantic feelings."
Qin held the wine glass tightly, wanting to stop this guy's nonsense, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"I do not know either."
Qin smiled bitterly, "Ever since I woke up that day, I've been thinking about Lin Jiu'an."
"It was okay when I was doing manual labor, but now that I have less manual labor and more paperwork, I always have uncontrollable random thoughts."
"I have had these kinds of wild thoughts before, but they were all within the premise of not affecting my work."
"This is normal."
Lisa chuckled, "Our Grand Commander Qin was rescued by our 'tyrannical' Speaker, and her heart has fluttered."
Qin felt a little embarrassed by what was said, so she changed the subject and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"I?"
He Qin remained the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, a position whose functions had been changed and whose power had been greatly reduced, yet this was both the same and different.
Lisa continued to maintain her library, leaving it in a state of disrepair every day.
After that night of 'revealing their feelings', their relationship didn't crack; on the contrary, it seemed even better than before. Qin would go to Lisa's house to stay with her almost every two days.
Lisa smiled casually: "I've come to terms with it."
"Since that 'Judgment Day'."
“I understand now that Lin Jiu’an is no longer capable of accepting us, so there’s no point in us arguing.”
“Life is good now. He takes care of everything. You just need to listen to him and be his ‘dogs’. I can retire in peace.”
Seeing Lisa's somewhat helpless smile, Qin couldn't help but say.
"It's not impossible."
Seeing Lisa looking at her with a puzzled expression, Qin felt a pang of regret.
However, perhaps it was due to the effects of alcohol, or perhaps he wanted Lisa to give him some advice, or maybe he wanted his 'good sister' to fight for him.
In a moment of impulse, Qin told Lisa about her mother and Lin Jiu'an.
"You're saying your mother is spending every day with Lin Jiu'an now...?!"
"keep your voice down!"
Lisa was shocked after receiving confirmation from Qin.
During this time, Qin told her many worries that she would never have talked about before.
But she had never heard of this before!
All she knew was that Lin Jiu'an had been staying at the Gunnhilds' house during this period.
But that's not a big problem.
Frederica is already known throughout Mondstadt as Lin Jiu'an's "loyal dog." Is it normal that the loyal dog couldn't stay at her house when the Speaker was temporarily without a place to live?
She never expected that the two of them had been sleeping together all these days.
After the shock.
Lisa's throat felt a little dry.
While understanding Qin's struggles and pain, she also realized a very important issue.
In her past life, Frederica looked down on Lin Jiu'an so much that she practically pointed her finger at him and said, "Someone like you wants to marry a daughter of the Gunnhild family?"
But Lin Jiu'an still slept with Frederica.
So, myself...
"Then what do you think?"
