The immortal body is called Teevat
Chapter 69: The Dust of the Dragon Slayer
One of the reasons that Cripps couldn't stand it was that during the discussion at the meeting, the old aristocratic forces even suspected that Cripps was not dead because he had already colluded with the people of Winter Solstice. Otherwise, how to explain that Cripps, an ordinary person, survived the mouth of the dragon and killed the dragon?
Although Cripps was in an extremely unhappy mood at this time, he still explained in detail that it was not only him who was fighting against the dragon at that time, but also a powerful foreign boy from Liyue.
These old nobles did not dwell on this matter, because they knew that their accountability was illogical and unreasonable.
So this matter was quickly skipped over, but a very heated discussion broke out when discussing how to talk about the dragon slaying.
The old aristocracy believes that a Liyue outsider helped Mondstadt execute the dragon Ursa, which had been plaguing Mondstadt for nearly 500 years. If such news were to spread, it would make the people extremely distrustful of the Knights Templar, and would also make foreigners realize that Mondstadt is being hypocritical, making Mondstad even more hostile.
Although Simon smiled on the surface, he cursed these old aristocrats thousands of times in his heart because such statements were too far-fetched.
Since you old nobles want to save face, why did you shirk responsibility and even claim to be ill when rescuing Cripps? You just took the opportunity to suppress Cripps.
This time, Simon chose to give the choice to everyone, and asked: "I think everyone should give their own opinions on this matter."
The result was beyond Simon's expectation that most people actually agreed with the resolution of the old nobles. They believed that the fact of slaying the dragon should be changed and obliterated, and the main body of the crusade against the dragon should be replaced by the Knights of Favonius.
After all, if it was really said that a foreigner from Liyue helped Mondstadt solve such a big problem, it would be really embarrassing for them as the top leaders of the Knights Templar.
After all, many high-ranking members of the Knights Templar still carry the habits of the old Mondstadt nobles. Although they are timid, they cannot bear to see others do well, especially outsiders.
As a result, at this meeting, neither the old nobles nor other factions agreed to make a big fuss about the real dragon slayer.
Some extreme individuals even suggested that this dragon-slaying boy was a threat to Mondstadt and that he should be expelled from the country or eliminated as a future threat.
These old nobles also suggested not to write that the Doctor was the manipulator behind the scenes. After all, they had just signed a foreign trade treaty with Solstice, and if there was friction with Solstice at this time, it might lead to the invalidation of the treaty.
But the doctor is dead now, and there is no evidence. Mond does not have complete evidence to prove that it was indeed the doctor who did it, and even Zhidong will turn the tables.
At this time, Simon finally understood why the doctor gave up so many interests and only added a little insignificant exchange in the end.
It turns out that the Doctor was waiting for him here. What a scary guy! Although the signing of the foreign trade treaty is of great benefit to the entire Mondstadt, the biggest beneficiaries are the nobles who already have strong financial resources and huge businesses.
Naturally, these nobles were unwilling to give up the fat meat in front of them. After all, the only point of breaking off relations with Winter Solstice was to seek justice for Cripps and publicize Mond's attitude.
But what they lost were huge amounts of Mora and sales channels. Simon couldn't help but sigh that the doctor's move was really ruthless!
If Simon ignored the opinions of all the high-ranking officials in Mondstadt, it would inevitably cause political unrest in Mondstadt, giving the Kingdom of Winter an opportunity to take advantage of it.
If Simon covered up this matter, the doctor's crime would be forgotten. Even the treaty signed between Dongdong and Mond would still be valid and they would have to maintain a superficial friendship.
Although Simon felt disgusted, as the Doctor's opponent he still admired the Doctor's political skills.
Therefore, for the sake of Mondstadt's stability and security, Simon had no choice but to make the final compromise with these old Mondstadt nobles and other factions. He only preached that the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt had gone through numerous hardships and finally slayed the dragon Ursa and saved Cripps, while the foreign boy had long been regarded as irrelevant.
And he maintained his attitude towards Dongzhidong and did not ask for justice like Dongzhidong. The compensation given to Cripps was just to reduce the tax rate that the Legenfind family had to pay.
When Cripps heard this, he felt as if his faith in his heart had collapsed, making him even older and weaker. He never thought that the Knights would end up like this.
The justice and honesty he once believed in seemed to be shattered at this moment, so the disheartened Krips told the Knights that his body functions were severely damaged due to excessive use of the Evil Eye. He no longer participated in Mond's high-level meetings, but only took a long rest in the Dawn Winery.
Of course, before that, Cripps also specially looked for Lisa, a professional who helped Wu Cheng and others find the remnants of the Xumi Seal Demon.
These facts were naturally told to Wu Cheng, but Wu Cheng seemed particularly indifferent. After all, it was just an empty title, so what was the point of having it? Anyway, he didn't belong to Mondstadt, so why should he care about these important things?
While in the ward, Diluk became more dissatisfied with the Knights Templar after hearing that his friend's dragon-slaying achievement was covered up by the top leaders of the Knights Templar.
Not to mention that his father was almost killed by Solstice's Fatui, but he was unable to take revenge on Solstice, and there was not even the usual diplomatic condemnation.
This news hit Diluc hard after he recovered from his injury. When Zhang Qi asked Bishop Simon about it, Bishop Simon just said calmly: "This is all for the future development of Mondstadt. I hope you can understand."
Diluk was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He followed his father's example and said that his father's health had declined significantly due to excessive use of the evil eye and he urgently needed the company of his family.
Therefore, he voluntarily resigned from all positions in the Knights Templar, would no longer participate in the affairs of the Knights Templar, and would continue to protect Mond in his own way.
Simon looked at the almost identical resignation letters from the father and son, shook his head and sighed, looking at the bright sun by the window and asking in his heart: "Lord Wind God, did I violate my free will this time?"
Unfortunately, the God of Wind did not answer his question. Only a wisp of wind gently brushed his hair, and this breeze did not blow away the sorrow in Simon's heart.
After Wu Cheng spent dozens of days of leisure time in Mond, the experts from Xumi who sealed the remnants of the demon finally arrived.
He saw the visitor was a black-skinned, white-haired, red-eyed boy dressed as Anubis, a fox-wolf in ancient Egyptian belief. After a closer look, he realized that this was Seno.
He felt that this young man must have a good connection with him and they could get along well, so he chatted a lot with Seno while dealing with the demon residue, and they did get along quite well.
He even played a game of Seven Divine Summons against the card master Xeno, but ended up losing badly. After all, this is the real version of Teyvat Xeno, and his card skills are not weak at all, unlike the mechanical and stupid version in the game.
Before leaving, Sino had a very happy chat with Wu Cheng and said goodbye to him coldly: "After the Demon God Residue is sealed, don't use the power of the Demon God Residue again, otherwise, the backlash will kill you."
"If I'm not busy next time you come to Xumi, you can ask me to play a game of Seven Sage Summons. Don't do anything illegal next time you come to Xumi, otherwise I, as the Grand Disciplinary Officer, will arrest you."
Wu Cheng agreed with what Sai Nuo said and he and 11 other children saw Sai Nuo off and returned to Xumi.
In the process of sealing the demon remnants, Cole and Alta obtained the Grass God's Eye and the Water God's Eye respectively. The children were also very happy and sincerely congratulated the two brothers and sisters after they obtained the God's Eye.
And he was looking forward to when he would get his own Eye of God. Later, Wu Cheng and his group stayed in Mondstadt for several days. After Wu Cheng was sure that his brothers and sisters had had enough fun in Mondstadt, he began to think about where to go next.
