Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive
Chapter 717 Long-lost Excitement
"I, I'm not... ahem... a mortal. The will of the gods cannot be guessed at will, but I forgive your rudeness, because greatness is never afraid of doubt!"
I don’t know why, even though this gentleman behaves very gentlemanly, Funina always feels unnaturally guilty.
I always feel a little bit uneasy and don't want to face the other person...it's a bit scary.
"Thank you for your leniency... In this case, I will dare to rely on your magnanimity and make some foolish guesses.
I have heard for a long time that Fontaine is a country of justice, and its trial process is unique among the seven countries of Teyvat. I have heard that during the trial, the criminal can clear his grievances by dueling...
In other words, the form of "duel" is also a major feature of Fontaine's fame in Teyvat... You personally met these two foreign travelers, presumably to bring a wonderful duel to the people, right?"
Zuo Xi was just fanning the flames. He remembered that the water god Fukaros had also invited Ying to a duel, but after Ying accepted the request, the other party actually backed down...
Although he didn't know why Fontaine refused to fight, Zuo Xi couldn't let her escape this time... It didn't matter how powerful Fontaine was as a god, the important thing was that Zuo Xi had to find out why she couldn't take action.
And how big the restrictions are for her not to take action... Specifically, is it to the extent that she absolutely cannot take action no matter what happens, or is it just that she has some concerns and restrictions, but can actually take action even if it is a little troublesome.
The difference between the two is huge, and Zuo Xi needs to figure out which one it is.
It was also necessary to obtain Fontaine's Heart of God. Even though there was now a better way to deal with the heavens - that is, himself - it did not mean that Her Majesty the Queen's original plan had to be completely abandoned.
Even as a backup plan or some kind of last-ditch response measure, there is no reason for the Queen's original plan to be abandoned.
Zuo Xi came to Fontaine, not only to help Alechino solve the prophecy in Fontaine, but also for the heart of the water god.
Now the only thing missing was Fontaine and Natta. This task was not difficult to accomplish in Zuo Xi's opinion. The difficult part was how to complete it in a relatively peaceful manner.
He didn't mind causing a little commotion or disaster to facilitate his plan, but he wanted to avoid meaningless casualties as much as possible.
After all, he had climbed from the bottom to the top, and he had seen the scenery on both sides. He had seen the omnipotent strong men, and he had also seen ordinary people.
What the strong care about is destined to be different from what ordinary people care about, but this does not mean that what ordinary people care about is insignificant.
If one only seeks an ordinary happiness and lives a stable life... Zuo Xi thinks there is nothing wrong with it. Although he will not work hard for it, at least he will not deprive ordinary people of the opportunity to pursue ordinary life.
Of course, this does not mean that he will treat everyone equally. Many times, Zuo Xi does things more out of his mood and attitude at the time.
If he sees someone who makes him unhappy, no matter if he is a strong person or an ordinary person, he now has the ability to make him suffer.
The topic accidentally went off topic. Anyway, Zuo Xi didn't mind adding fuel to the fire and taking advantage of the blind obedience and faith of the group of Fontaine people around him who loved to join in the fun in their gods.
They seem to like making a fuss anyway, so there shouldn't be any problem for him to manipulate and guide the direction of their making a fuss so that things go in his favor, right?
Finina seems to care a lot about her identity as a god, and to some extent, she is surprisingly tolerant of her believers... As long as the people's voices are loud enough, she will be in a dilemma.
At that time, based on her decision, Zuo Xi will be able to obtain a lot of useful information.
"Ohhhh! So that's how it is... So the Lord God is going to have a wonderful showdown with the traveler from a foreign land that was rumored?"
"Oh my god! That's so exciting. Lady Funina won't let us down. I know it!"
"Great, great! Coming to Hailu Port today was a great decision! Not only can I meet Lady Funina, whose appointments are usually scheduled for several months later, but I am also lucky enough to watch such a duel!"
Sure enough, the shouts from the crowd became more and more uncontrollable, and the high emotions were transmitted from one person to another, soon making the whole scene lively.
Zuo Xi has always been very accurate in judging people. The hearts of these Fontaine people are filled with numbness in another sense... In this country where trials are regarded as performances and criminals can get away with it based on their own strength, this kind of numbness is the greatest sorrow.
In Zuo Xi's eyes, the harm of this numbness is even greater than that incomprehensible prophecy... After all, if such a country cannot correct its attitude, it will be destroyed sooner or later.
"Ahahaha! That's right, foreign guest, you understand very well. My subjects, just consider it a reward. Just as you can imagine, I am indeed determined to have an epic showdown with this foreign traveler!"
It can only be said that Fu Fu did not disappoint Zuo Xi's expectations. She took the bait without any hesitation... Zuo Xi couldn't help but reflect in his heart, could he have really made a mistake?
He looks so silly, and doesn't seem like a scheming person hiding any secrets... No, we can't underestimate the enemy.
Zuo Xi shook his head and threw away the contempt in his heart. Generally speaking, people with simple minds would not be able to express themselves so naturally, and it would be even more impossible for them to maintain this state for five hundred years without being suspected.
This god definitely has a side that he has never seen. And to be so blatant yet unnoticed, this side that has never been shown must be very extraordinary.
Fu Nina... maybe she'll be an opponent worth treating well.
Zuo Xi rarely felt a sense of excitement and challenge. Fontaine and Nata were different from other countries. He did not have a script-like understanding of these two countries.
In the previous four countries, he had taken absolute control by relying on the advantage of knowing the direction in advance, but in Fontaine and Natta, he could no longer gain any advantage in this way.
He was excited by the completely unknown situation that he hadn't seen for a long time, and it just so happened that the Water God of Fontaine seemed to be an opponent worthy of his serious consideration... This made Zuo Xi's competitive spirit and gaming mentality stir, and the excitement brought by the unknown made him excited.
"Zuo Xi, Zuo Xi! What on earth do you want to do?"
Zuo Xi was still planning on having a wonderful rivalry with Funina, but Ying and Paimeng over there could no longer hold back.
They are indeed used to encountering big things every time they go to a place, and they are also used to the fact that Zuo Xi will never let them have a peaceful and uneventful trip... But aren't you going too far by challenging them to a battle in front of them?
In the past, he was still planning everything behind the scenes, relying on the situation to push them onto the chessboard. Now he is setting a trap in front of them and making an appointment with the gods for them... This is not even acting, right? They are no longer willing to do this secretly, right!
"Yes, Zuo Xi, are you sure I can beat you? If you really want to trick me, you have to prepare me mentally..."
Ying also tugged at Zuo Xi's clothes with some uncertainty. At this point, she no longer minded Zuo Xi setting a trap for her.
But she still hoped that Zuo Xi could give her some psychological expectations. At least she had to know what level her opponent was, right?
Although she had seen many gods, there were still differences in strength between gods. She had personally seen the destructive power of the Ruotu Dragon King, who was said to be on par with Zhongli, and she had also seen the broadcast of the battle between the two God-killing Mechas of Ying and Zuo Xi, and she had directly fought with the God of Righteousness hundreds of times... The most important thing was that Zuo Xi was also a god now.
This led to her having a biased understanding of the combat effectiveness of the gods. She had always believed that although the gods might not be as strong as Zhongli and Ying, they would at least not be much weaker than the God of Righteousness.
Although she is now very close to her original strength - after all, she has awakened five elemental powers, and if she had come into contact with Fontaine's statue before the fight, it would have been six - but her former abilities have not returned.
It was hard to say whether she could win in a duel with a regular god. And most importantly, she didn't know whether Zuo Xi really wanted her to win, and what result Zuo Xi wanted.
If Zuo Xi could tell her, she would be able to cooperate with the other party better and choose whether to go all out or reserve her strength.
It would be difficult for her to do it if she was just asked to do it like this.
"Don't worry too much. She probably can't beat you... You two may not be able to fight each other either. Anyway, you just need to show enough fighting spirit."
What Zuo Xi cares about is whether Fucaros will really fight with Ying. As for who will win or lose if the fight really breaks out... he doesn't care about that.
Anyway, it's not easy to be beaten to death because of its rough skin and tough flesh. If a fight really breaks out, even if you can't win, you'll just get beaten up. There's no need to worry at all.
"Oh, I know!"
Ying nodded innocently and patted her chest to indicate that she would take care of it. Ever since Zuo Xi was lost and found again, she had become particularly obedient and cherished him.
We used to argue with him occasionally, but now I just go along with him in almost everything.
"I, I still think this is a bit too fast... But since you guys said so, do you need my help to challenge?"
Among the three people, Paimon actually became the one with the most common sense, but he was quickly assimilated.
She was originally hesitant, but after Ying and Zuo Xi reached a consensus, she quickly reached a consensus with them and volunteered to take on the long-lost responsibility of holding the megaphone.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Paimon."
Zuo Xi just wanted to watch the fun, and since Paimeng was willing to challenge him, that was of course the best.
Come on, Fukaros, let's see how long your disguise can last... Let me reveal the face that has never been seen under your disguise.
……
What’s going on? What’s going on? Why do they look like they are really considering this seriously?!
Finina, who had a calm expression on the platform, began to panic at this moment. The direction of the plot was a little different from what she had imagined... Shouldn't she be the one who proposed the duel, and the traveler on the opposite side would tremble in fear and refuse?
This is a duel from gods. Most people would refuse it without even a second thought, right?
In the end, he magnanimously pardoned the duel and compensated the people of Fontaine whose expectations were dashed in another form.
This would not only enhance his own prestige and consolidate his status as a god, but he would also successfully establish a relationship with the travelers... This is how it should be, right?
But why are they still discussing this so seriously? Are they really planning to fight her? No way? No way!
Fighting is so scary...wouldn't it be better to solve the problem in a more peaceful way? !
"My Lord God of Fontaine! She - the foreign traveler - Ying, accepts your challenge! Please allow us to do something out of the ordinary, sorry for the rudeness!"
When Funina was panicking, the white flying creature in the audience suddenly started shouting at her, and the content of the shouting made her uneasy guess come true... No, how could there really be someone so reckless!
"...Hmm? Uh-huh! You...can't you feel any fear? This is a fight with God."
Finina was extremely panicked. During the five hundred years of performance, although there were many difficult things, few people challenged her power and authority as a god.
The few times she had that happened, she used Villette to get rid of them... But Villette is still in Fontaine, and it's too far-fetched to use him as an excuse!
However, after Paimon shouted, the blond traveler drew his weapon, and the guards who followed him also changed their posture and formation, and began to gradually surround the travelers below.
Seeing this, Furninna finally felt relieved. At least these guards and the people were not really planning to watch a duel here.
Whether it is changing to a more suitable stage or canceling it, she has room to maneuver.
"What do you want to do, traveler, offend the gods in front of the people?"
Clorinde also stood up at this moment, frowned and seriously questioned the traveler, and the atmosphere on the scene became tense in an instant.
Yes, yes, that's it! God is an authority that cannot be challenged. Even if she doesn't pursue it on weekdays, the people of Fontaine will not allow an outsider to offend their God!
While feeling thankful that she had finally escaped, Furninna was thinking about how to end the incident in a way that would not damage her dignity, offend the traveler, and at the same time satisfy the people.
However, at this moment, the voice that made her instinctively a little timid sounded again in that gentlemanly tone.
“You’re confusing right and wrong… You’re saying it’s an offense to God, but wasn’t it your God who initiated the challenge?
Or is it that the "justice" and "judgment" that Fontaine is so proud of do not apply to their own gods, and are just some despicable means of confusing right and wrong against outsiders? "
