Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"Zuo, Zuo Xi...the atmosphere seems a little off."

Paimon saw that the fully armed and battle-ready guards had surrounded them, and she immediately felt something was wrong.

This, does this mean we are openly going to be enemies with the entire Fontaine?

If Zuo Xi really meant this... then, that's not impossible. But at least, give a clear instruction, right?

"Paimon, let's just watch Brother perform. Apart from the incident with Xumi, have you ever seen Master Zuo Xi fail?"

Linny spoke to calm Paimon's uneasy mood. Although he didn't know what his brother was going to do by provoking confrontation between the travelers and the water god, he would obey his decision unconditionally.

Even without mentioning that the Fatui must unconditionally execute the orders of the Executioner, their trust in Zuo Xi himself is enough for them to do so.

"No, I'm not doubting Zuo Xi's decision... I just want the instructions to be clearer! What if we misunderstand it, then wouldn't that just cause more trouble?"

Paimeng waved her hands hastily, indicating that she did not need psychological counseling. She and the Fatui agreed on the point of unconditionally following Zuo Xi.

It's not just her, Ying is like this in some cases. In Mondstadt and Liyue, they might have thought and speculated before making a decision, but since Inazuma, they have given up thinking.

"So you are aware that you might cause trouble? Don't worry, I heard that the treatment in Melo Petersburg is quite good."

Zuo Xi gave Paimeng and Ying a reassuring look. Although the two didn't know where Mello Petersburg was, and didn't know what the good treatment there had to do with what was happening now, they did feel a lot more at ease.

The Linnet brothers and sisters were the only ones who knew where Mello Petersburg was. They paused unconsciously at the same time, and Linnet's ears twitched.

Brother is still the brother who loves to play pranks. Is he planning to send the travelers to prison?

"Stranger, watch your words... I can regard your words just now as your contempt for the laws of Fontaine."

Clorinde frowned even more tightly. These foreigners were so bold that they not only dared to point their swords at the gods, but also publicly defied the justice and judgment of Fontaine.

"Please don't evade the main point and talk about something else. God of Fontaine, please answer my question - for gods, are Fontaine's "justice" and "judgment" not applicable?"

Zuo Xi skipped Clorinde's questioning and attacks. If he paid attention to Clorinde at this time, he would be at a disadvantage no matter what the outcome of the argument was.

Because that would be like lowering one's status, putting oneself on the same level as Clorinde. And Fukaros could sit on the high platform and overlook everything without doing anything.

This is a taboo at the negotiation table. If you are tripped up by a small soldier, the momentum of the normal negotiation will collapse in an instant. His questioning of God will instantly turn into God's grace and mercy.

"You have ignored my advice and repeatedly challenged the majesty of the gods... I, the duel agent Clorinde, am here to capture you on behalf of the Fontaine Guard."

Being ignored did not make Clorinde angry, but after the second warning, the other party remained unmoved, so she had no choice but to take compulsory measures.

So as the strongest duel agent of the contemporary era and the leader of the escort team this time, Clorinde took action.

"Wait a minute, Clorinde."

The situation was about to break out. Clorinde's sword was already half drawn out, and Ying was also ready to fight Clorinde, when Funina on the high platform finally spoke.

"...Yes, Lady Funina."

As the strongest duel agent, Clorinde's qualities are not only her combat ability. In terms of obeying orders, Clorinde still did it perfectly.

Even though the situation was getting out of control and both sides had drawn their swords, Fininna's words still made her stop without hesitation, even though it might put her in danger.

"This subordinate is good, well-trained and decisive."

Zuo Xi has never been stingy with his praise, and Clorinde's performance is indeed worthy of such praise. Although there is no shortage of such soldiers among the Fatui, there are also some such talents in the armies of various countries.

But there are not many people like Clorinde who are strong and yet still so obedient... How to put it, if machines are not counted, most of the people who can fight under Zuo Xi are not very obedient.

Let's not talk about the ten freaks, none of them are easy to deal with. If we count them further, there are quite a few who are as obedient as this one and don't express their personalities casually, but they are always a little lacking in strength.

Therefore, he was still a little envious of his subordinate, Finina... but that was all. Nothing was more loyal than a machine. He had the most loyal subjects and soldiers in the world.

“Ahahahahaha… Of course, Clorinde’s glory comes from the recognition of the entire Fontaine…Stranger, I forgive your rude behavior.

As a god, I not only tolerate your offense, but also praise your courage! My subjects, do you see this? What a joyful and exciting meaning this is!

The courage to draw the sword against the gods, the rationality and precision, the sharpness of cutting straight to the point, the calmness in the face of danger, the character of being neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the gods, and the sharp wisdom... Isn't this worthy of praise?"

After being silent for a long time, Fu Nina suddenly burst into laughter, and then gave everyone high praise. Seeing the other party's way of handling it, Zuo Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

His ability to control the situation and his on-the-spot reaction are both amazing... To be able to stay on the throne of God in this manner for five hundred years, he must have some real talent.

But forget it, although he was cleverly led by the other party and failed to force the other party to make a choice in public. But Zuo Xi's goal has been achieved - he can feel the other party's panic and timidity. No matter what the reason, this god seems to have been afraid of a head-on battle.

That was enough, that was all he wanted to know.

It wasn't that Fucaros was restricted from taking action at will, but that she simply couldn't take action... When people face some kind of danger, the reaction to having a solution but not being able to use it is different from having no solution at all.

Finina obviously does not possess the strength that matches her status as a god.

"Ohhhh! As expected of Lady Funina, the deity of a god is truly incomparable to us!"

"That's right, I was so angry for Funina just now, but I didn't expect that Lady Funina herself didn't take it seriously. What a magnanimous person!"

"Funina! Funina!! Funina!!!"

The situation was somewhat out of control for a while, and the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to a climax.

Just as Zuo Xi commented, Funina's ability to control the situation and her on-the-spot reaction were impeccable, at least in this emergency.

But this is also a flaw that cannot be ignored. In Zuo Xi's opinion, Funina is really working too hard.

It would be fine if she had this kind of personality. Although Zuo Xi, a willful god, is rare, it has to be said that each god has a very distinct personality.

Even if a god with a personality like Fucaros appeared, Zuo Xi would not be surprised.

But Zuo Xi could clearly feel the incongruity between Funina's words and actions. Her exaggerated actions did not seem to come from the heart.

Now, there are more and more doubts about this god.

The first is his lack of strength, the second is that his actions do not seem to be sincere, and the last is his unusual attitude towards the identity of a god.

From the beginning till now, Finina has repeatedly emphasized the point of "being a god" many times.

Moreover, I couldn't feel any divine power on my body, but I had surprisingly much faith... but it dissipated quickly, so I couldn't use it effectively.

At this point, the facts are very clear - this Funina is not a god.

But at this point, not only were the doubts not resolved, but they increased instead.

For example, Funina is not a god but she has lived for 500 years. What method did she use? For example, she has been a god for 500 years, but what she did was obviously not from her heart and she was not happy at all. For example, where is the real god of Fontaine? Or it is hard to say whether there is a current water god in Fontaine...

I didn't expect that there would be so many things about Fontaine. It would not be easy for mortals to discover this in the past... If the power of faith cannot be observed, it may take more steps to realize that "Fontaine is not a god."

Ordinary people are unaware of this, and other rulers probably have never seen Finina in person. The lack of conclusive evidence may be one of the reasons why she has not been exposed for five hundred years.

In addition, Funina's acting skills are really good, and she just showed extraordinary on-the-spot reaction and control ability. In this way, it seems logical that she can persist for five hundred years.

Then again, ordinary people wouldn't even think of this. Apart from anything else, the Mond and Xumi people hadn't seen their gods for five hundred years, so they didn't have any doubts, did they?

Zuo Xi suddenly realized another new contradiction, a contradiction that fundamentally could not explain what Funina had done.

If he intended to gain benefits through his identity as a god, then it would go against Funina's current situation which was not in line with her true intentions.

And if she simply needed someone to sit on the throne for some reason, there was no need for her to show up so ostentatiously.

It doesn’t make sense…it doesn’t make sense at all.

Zuo Xi realized that there was an explanation hidden in this contradiction, an explanation that could make everything make sense.

And this explanation may be the most critical point in Fontaine's game of chess.

The place called Fontaine is...interesting.

"Stranger, I can mercifully answer your questions... I can judge the laws and judgments of Fontaine even if they are gods from other countries. Even myself, if I violate the laws of Fontaine, can be judged!"

After successfully avoiding the main issue and stirring up the atmosphere of the crowd, and cleverly avoiding the danger just now, Funina did not take advantage of this atmosphere to avoid the previous topic. Instead, she faced Zuo Xi's question directly and responded in a way that could stir up the atmosphere.

"But the responsibility for this matter does lie with you. Logically, these details should have been explained to you in detail at the Opikle Opera House... But never mind. Since you have been pardoned, I will take this opportunity to let you understand how much of an offense you have committed."

After solving the biggest crisis, Funina seemed to finally get into the groove. Zuo Xi had already gotten the information he wanted, so there was no need to tear down the other party.

The tests against Funina will continue, but now is no longer the best time.

"I did say that I wanted to duel with this foreign traveler, but in Fontaine, dueling is not just about fighting in the dueling arena! A hungry soul will not be satisfied with just this primitive and boring collision! Look, the souls around are shouting and longing!"

Fu Nina's voice was high, still in that almost singing tone. Compared with normal actions, Zuo Xi felt that at this moment he was more like being in an opera house, watching an opera performance.

The people of Fontaine also cooperated and became agitated... It can only be said that in the past five hundred years, Funina has had a very good control over the entertainment needs of the people of Fontaine.

Such incitement would never work in Liyue or Zhidong, and would even lead to immediate arrest in Inazuma. Sure enough, this is the atmosphere of the people unique to Fontaine.

"What does this water god mean? If he doesn't want to decide the outcome with a fight, then how else can he compete? Over eating? In that case, Paimon will definitely not lose!"

The actions of Funina and the people of Fontaine made Paimon, whose mind was not quick enough, even more confused. After all these twists and turns, were they not going to take any action at all in the end?

He said a lot of things, but in the end he expressed the same meaning. Is this Fontaine's unique way of speaking?

Hmm...it's so confusing. Paimeng is almost dizzy.

"Paimon, can you please stop thinking about food?"

Ying rolled her eyes. She didn't know if it was a kind of protection mechanism, but once her friend's mind became confused, the only thing he could remember was eating.

"Well, then what do you think she is going to do..."

Paimon scratched her head feeling a little embarrassed. In fact, she had already given up on understanding from the beginning.

"……do not know."

"What? You obviously don't know either, so why are you laughing at Paimon?"

At this juncture, the two began their daily bickering again... Because they couldn't understand the current situation, they unexpectedly chose to escape at the same time.

"Ugh……"

Zuo Xi sighed deeply. Having two such friends must have been a sin in his previous life... Oh, that's not right.

Strictly speaking, he really knew them in his previous life, no matter what the meaning of the previous life was.

孽 孽!
