Chapter 19: On the Birth of Great Men (2500 words)
"Demon, suffer death!"
With a roar, Lawrence raised his spear and stabbed Guan Feng.
Faced with the sudden attack, Guan Feng naturally could not sit still and wait for death. He grabbed the spear and pulled it hard. Lawrence was directly thrown to the ground by Guan Feng and passed out.
"Captain!" Swann was a little surprised to see Lawrence knocked to the ground in one round, but as the deputy captain, he couldn't panic: "It is the duty of the Knights of the West Wind to protect citizens, let's go!"
The teammates responded and charged towards Guan Feng without fear of death.
On the other hand, Guan Feng is still puzzled as to how he was discovered?
but,
Now that his identity has been discovered, he must protect his own safety even if he becomes an enemy of the entire city of Mondstadt! He has not forgotten that there are powerful leaders Diluc and Qin in the city.
A scorching fire elemental power circulated rapidly in his body, and his eyes began to flash red.
Just when Guan Feng was planning to kill everyone.
Timmy on the side shouted anxiously: "Uncle Swann, what are you doing!!"
Hearing the shout, Swann turned around and responded: "Timmy, come back to the city quickly. It's dangerous here. Let us deal with this monster!"
Monsters? Many children appeared on Timmy’s little head.
He even believed for a moment that Guan Feng was a monster because of Swann's firm tone.
But how could someone who could communicate with him normally and apologize politely be a monster?
"Uncle Swann, he is not a monster!!"
Timmy yelled like this, and the entire team was stunned on the spot. Swann asked: "It's not a monster?"
"That's right! How can a monster speak our human language and communicate with me normally!"
"But I just saw you lowering your head in fear, while he stretched out his hand to hurt you..."
"Afraid? Hurt me?" Another bunch of children appeared on Timmy's head: "I just thought of my dad, so I was a little sad, and this uncle wanted to comfort me, so he didn't want to hurt me!"
After hearing this explanation from the person involved, Swann's mind suddenly became short-circuited.
The other party is not a monster, which means that he is a merchant from afar.
According to Article 2 of the Knights' Instruction Manual, when facing merchants from afar, you must show respect and courtesy...
And now they are not just rude, they even directly attack guests who have done nothing, and all this is just because of their own imagination!
Thinking of this, Swann's brain suddenly overloaded and short-circuited, and he fainted on the ground.
"vice captain!"
The team members screamed in surprise. They did not expect that the captain would be knocked unconscious in one round, and the vice-captain also fainted for unknown reasons.
What do you want us ordinary team members to do? Tat, we can't let us small team members bear the anger of the guests, you two bastards!
Guan Feng looked at the dramatic scene in front of him in confusion. He originally thought that Mondstadt City had some unknown technology that could automatically identify whether it was a monster, but he didn't expect that it was all just a misunderstanding.
The most outrageous thing is that their misunderstanding is the truth of the matter...
I'm just entering a city, why don't you want it to be so fantasy...
For a moment, Guan Feng and the remaining nine team members stared at each other, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
"Ahem." Guan Feng coughed lightly, taking the lead to break the atmosphere and said sarcastically.
"It turns out that Mondstadt treats guests like this. It's really warm. I think I should publicize it well with my friends, so that they must wear their best clothes next time they come to Mondstadt.
Armor, otherwise I really won’t be able to withstand your enthusiasm.”
Guan Feng's words were harsh, but none of the team members felt angry. Instead, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Guan Feng.
"Huh!" Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Guan Feng snorted again.
I don't know if it was a tacit understanding among the team members, but they knelt down on one knee towards Guan Feng and lowered their heads at the same moment.
"I'm sorry! It was our dereliction of duty that caused you great trouble. We are willing to accept any punishment!"
Looking at the knights all around him who knelt down and apologized to him, Guan Feng was surprised and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't really want to accuse these team members, after all, their misunderstanding was the truth of the matter...
He just wanted to quickly occupy the moral high ground in this way and amplify the guilt in the hearts of these team members, so that they would no longer be entangled in his identity.
And if you are really full of guilt for a person, then in all subsequent contacts, you will be inferior to others and want to try your best to make up for the other person.
This is the result Guan Feng wants.
"Huh." He snorted coldly, but did not immediately forgive the team members.
He folded his arms and fell into silence, but Guan Feng did not speak, and the knights did not dare to look up at him. After a long silence, Guan Feng let out a long sigh, as if he had vomited out all the anger and depression in his chest.
At this moment, Guan Feng's acting skills came online instantly.
"Hey, knights who protect Mondstadt, I also have someone I want to protect with all my strength, and I don't want her to bear even the slightest threat, so I understand you! Please stand up, your backs shouldn't be hurt by this.
Small things and bending.”
Hearing what Guan Feng said, the knights were very moved, but they had no intention of obeying Guan Feng's last words, but continued to kneel without saying a word.
"Please stand up!" Guan Feng deliberately emphasized the tone and said: "You can only bend your back towards the gods you believe in, the parents who gave birth to you and raised you, and the existence you swore to protect your whole life! Not towards me, an ordinary person!"
Guan Feng's words hit the team members' minds hard.
One of the team members said: "Sir, we have done such an excessive thing to you, no matter what the punishment is, we are willing to accept it."
"Then there's no need to kneel down." Guan Feng's voice was filled with helplessness.
"But..." There was a knight who wanted to say something else.
But Guan Feng took the words directly and said: "If you really feel sorry for me, then send someone to be my guide, so that I can forgive you."
"Huh?" All the team members looked up at Guan Feng in surprise.
"What? Isn't it convenient for you to be my guide?" Guan Feng frowned in difficulty: "If this doesn't work, then..."
A knight quickly said anxiously: "No, no, no, we don't feel embarrassed, we just feel...emmmm..."
For a moment, he didn't know how to express it. Another knight responded: "I just think it's too simple!"
"Yes, yes! Compared to our mistakes, this matter is really not worth mentioning!"
Guan Feng smiled and said: "Is it simple? It doesn't matter. The apology does not need to be expensive, as long as it is suitable. How about it, knights, do you accept my proposal?"
For a time, in the eyes of the knights, Guan Feng's image became taller and taller.
"Then let me be your guide!"
"What? It must be me. I know what's going on in Mondstadt better than you."
"You are all talking nonsense! Before I joined the Knights, I was known as Mondstadt, and my footprints are all over Mondstadt! I am the most suitable person to be your guide!"
"..."
Seeing everyone almost quarreling over who would be his guide, Guan Feng smiled with satisfaction. It was obvious that his goal had been achieved.
If he wanted to use everyone's guilt to create some convenience for himself.
Then on this basis, show your tolerance, humility and understanding.
Negative emotions like guilt can immediately turn into worship.
So between negative emotions like guilt and positive emotions like admiration, which one can make a person willing to give?
The answer is self-evident.
Of course, if all this was told to an unrelated person afterwards, he would think it was nonsense, and he would not even understand the knights' behavior and thoughts.
But when a person gets into trouble, most people will lose their ability to judge and think.
