Chapter 83: Scolding
One morning, I put on my mask. Wendy, I'll be using your identity to speak later, so don't come out! Okay.
With a single thought, Yu Lai was lifted by the wind, landing on the hand of the wind god statue. "Look, there's someone on the wind god statue. I am your wind god. You have disappointed me greatly."
"You say you're the Wind God, so you are?" Yu Lai casually conjured a wind ball and tossed it into the sky. "Hmm, this is the Wind God. Listen to my evaluation."
But we waited until everyone arrived. A few hours later, most of the people had arrived. Then I began to speak.
What will the gods say about us? This is so strange.
The word "freedom" is truly wondrous. It can lead to different outcomes. Freedom can lead to indulgence. Especially your freedom—the freedom of unbridled freedom. Your freedom will inevitably lead to indulgence.
When he advocated for freedom, he always believed that allowing individuals complete freedom was not a good thing; in fact, it was a bad thing. He argued that without God, this country would have perished long ago.
When the Gale Demon God was overthrown, he said, "None of you told me I oppressed you." At that time, we said something that chilled his heart: "Your winds have made us unable to stand upright. And how could we, as nobles, possibly do this without your permission?"
In the end, he didn't kill everyone. Do you think he did the right thing or the wrong thing? You don't need to know. He spoke of freedom. Because they were pursuing freedom, they killed the demons who protected them. Isn't that a very cruel reality?
For thousands of years, Wang Decheng will not have faced oppression. That's a good thing. But you've all become too lax.
But I've been thinking about it. When you have unbridled freedom, does that freedom lead you to happiness, or does it lead you to depravity?
While I slept, for thousands of years, you gave me the answer. Freedom must have its limits. As the old saying goes, "Without rules, there can be no order."
Confucius was right. Do as you please, without transgressing the rules. And how old was Confucius when he said this? 70. How many of you are 70?
They just start doing whatever they want. And the problem is, as long as they don't break the law, it's like there are no rules. What do you really want? This is self-destruction.
The remaining six countries, namely the Land of Thunder, are currently in isolation. They are not deploying immortal-level or demon-level beings. You couldn't defeat them even if you fought them.
Our ordinary army is too lax in its training. They're like a pile of loose sand. Don't be fooled by their actions; their troops are still strictly disciplined.
Because of freedom. I feel unrestricted, so I spend all my time slacking off.
If you continue like this, is it possible to protect your freedom? Perhaps. In your indulgence, you feel free, but this is driving you towards the abyss.
I've said enough. It's none of my business which way you go. With a whoosh, the figure vanished.
Everyone in the Wind God Plaza lowered their heads. Had we done something wrong? The Wind God didn't mean we had done anything wrong. Rather, it meant we had been too lax and needed to establish some rules.
This means the army doesn't meet the standards of a regular military force. Furthermore, Mondstadt's fighting strength is already quite low. Therefore, strict discipline is even more necessary.
It was my dereliction of duty as the acting leader. We should develop some laws to prevent them from having too much freedom. Freedom is a good thing, but don't be greedy.
Dismissed, everyone. Our Knights will reflect on this.
