Just as the army of the Knights of the West Wind left Mondstadt and headed towards the Dadaupa Valley, Lisa took Diluc and knocked on the door of the alchemy workshop.

Niyu and Abedo had to temporarily stop what they were doing and hold an emergency meeting with everyone.

"This is the situation. If Ilok cooperates with the Fools, then we have no reason to stop them from conducting a city-wide manhunt." For the first time, obvious worry appeared on Lisa's face.

"They can't let them catch Cole, especially not at the Knights headquarters." Abedo concluded.

"For the honor of the Knights again?" Diluc couldn't help but sneered.

"It's for Mondstadt's safety." Albedo pretended not to hear his sarcasm.

Lisa hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Anyway, let's ask Mr. Diluc to escort them out of the city to escape to Dawn Winery?"

"No, I suggest going near Star Picking Cliff." Sainuo suddenly interrupted.

"Why?" Diluc asked.

Seno pointed at Kelai who was huddled in the corner and said: "The power of the devil in her body is always leaking out uncontrollably, and it is leaking out more and more. If she goes to a crowded place, it may cause serious pollution. "

"Then go to Star Picking Cliff." Lisa decided directly, then turned to look at Albedo, "How is your work going?"

"One more day will be enough," Abedo said.

"Then let's meet up at Star Cliff after we're done. I'll escort them." Diluc stood up.

----------

At the edge of the Whispering Forest, across the water from Mondstadt, Yora was walking with Heinz.

The two walked along the shoreline of Cider Lake without saying a word for a long time.

"Do you remember where that place is?" Heinz asked suddenly pointing into the distance.

"There?"

Yora looked in the direction he pointed and saw flat and regular farmland, fruitful orchards, and villages filled with smoke.

"You mean Starfall Plain?"

Heinz nodded, "How is it there now? How many villages and towns are there? What is the population? How is the output?"

"There are 17 towns and 429 villages, with a population of about 73. The grain production accounts for 40% of Mondstadt, and the vegetable and fruit production accounts for 50%." Although Yora was a little confused, she still answered fluently.

Heinz looked at Youla with pleasure and praised: "Yes, you are still so good. You have lived up to the teachings of the Lawrence family and do not regard yourself as a warrior who only knows how to fight and kill."

After receiving the sudden praise from her father, Youla felt a little happy, but she just snorted and said, "That's just because I usually patrol this area."

"You..." Heinz smiled and shook his head, casually handing her a wine bottle, "Your mother prepared the cider for you, chilled."

Yora took the jug and said doubtfully: "Don't you always say that apple cider is a drink for the untouchables, who only drink dandelion wine?"

Heinz glared at her angrily, "Who said you don't like drinking dandelion wine?"

Youla rolled her eyes, raised the jug, drank half of it in one breath, belched slightly, and then said: "Mother's cider is really good, better than the ones produced by Chenxi Winery... I just don’t like the bitter taste of dandelion wine, can I?”

"It is bitter first and then sweet. It is a symbol of the spiritual will of the ancestors of the Lawrence family to break through the ice and build Mondstadt..."

"Okay, okay, please stop talking about this..."

After a moment of silence, Heinz suddenly asked quietly: "What do you think of Mond today?"

"It's pretty good. People's lives are rich and their spirits are free. Anyway, it's better than... Anyway, it's pretty good." Youla turned her head and didn't look at him.

Heinz sneered and mocked: "Are you serious? The original Mondstadt was strong enough to rank at the forefront of the Seven Kingdoms, but now Mondstadt can't even compare to Rice Wife, right? The diplomats of Solstice Kingdom are among us. They are tyrannical in the land, and all the knights can do is give in and give in again!"

"The people are free, but they only know how to drink and have fun all day long, or they follow those nonsense bards and weave the history of the past..."

"Sitting in the best environment in the entire continent, but only knowing how to eat and wait to die, Lord Fengshen would feel if he saw that his so-called liberation of the people ended up with such a result!"

Yora was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "This is none of your business. The Lawrence family has long ceased to be the rulers of Mondstadt!"

Heinz stood with his hands behind his hands, his face full of sadness, "Yes, it has been long gone. Over the past one thousand years, the glory of the family has long been dimmed and faded, and there are not even enough outstanding children left."

"Did you know, Yora? Starfall Plain was originally the direct territory of the Lawrence family."

"According to family records, before the Lawrence family was exiled a thousand years ago, there were 17 towns and 416 villages in the Starfall Plain, with a population of more than 69 people."

"In other words, a thousand years after the Knights took over Mondstadt, there were only 13 more villages in the Starfall Plain, with a population of less than 4."

"Do you think they are good rulers?"

Youla bit her lip and asked angrily: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Heinz looked back at her and said solemnly: "Since the Knights are not qualified rulers, they should give way to those who truly know how to rule. As descendants of the Lawrence family, we should restore the glory of the family. , bringing real prosperity to Mondstadt!”

Yola's eyes widened, "You're crazy! The family's rule was a thousand years ago! Haven't you heard of Lawrence's current reputation? Who will obey the rule of the old aristocracy?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Heinz's lips, "Of course there will be people who will obey. Didn't the Lawrence family still maintain their position as rulers despite being rebellious for hundreds of years? As long as they have enough force, who would dare to resist?"

"Lord Fengshen..."

"The God of Wind has not appeared for a thousand years! Besides, it's not like there are no other gods behind us!"

Yora looked at Heinz in disbelief, "Did you join the Fools?"

"So what? Compared to the Wind God who has not cared about the life and death of the people for a thousand years, the Ice Queen is obviously a better object of loyalty!" Heinz snorted coldly.

Youra looked at him blankly, and after a while, she raised her hand and took off the ornately decorated sword from her back, "Tell me your plan, and I can fight for a lighter sentence for you."

Heinz shook his head helplessly and said: "Do you think that the untouchables of the Knights whose bones have been blown by the wind of peace can fight against us with the backing of fools? How can the descendants of the Lawrence family be so unwise!"

Just as Youla was about to retort, she suddenly felt that her muscles were so weak that she couldn't even hold the sword in her hand!

"You! That bottle of wine?"

"Don't I understand you? You are very Lawrence only in your stubbornness."

Heinz glanced at Yura indifferently and said to the two fire debt handlers who emerged from the woods: "I would like to ask you to temporarily keep the little girl under your custody... Please give her the treatment that a noble should have."

One of the debt handlers nodded and said: "We will imprison her in the camp on Eagle Beach. When you are done, send someone there to find her."

After saying that, they stepped forward to capture the weak Yura.

Yola still refused to give up, struggling and shouting: "Father! If you do this, you will kill the entire Lawrence family!"

Hearing Yura's cry, Heinz suddenly roared: "It's been a thousand years! After a full thousand years, the Lawrence family still bears the name of sinners! No one is willing to accept us! Such a Lawrence family is dead. What's the difference?!"

He moved closer to Yula and looked at her.

The deep hatred and madness in his eyes made Yula feel cold all over.

"Reign or perish. There is no third way for Lawrence!"
