Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros
Chapter 242 Late-night conversation between father and son
In the quiet late night, in a brightly lit office, Lin Yide was sitting at his desk, concentrating on dealing with the recent backlog of official business.
Since he was about to set off for Xumi the next day, he had to work overtime to finish all the matters.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and Linnie walked in slowly with a cup of steaming, fragrant coffee in his hand.
Lin Yide raised his head and his eyes fell on Lin Ni's young yet resolute face, and a trace of guilt surged in his heart.
In Fontaine today, most teenagers of Linny's age are sitting in comfortable classrooms, enjoying the fun of learning.
And Linney has to shoulder a burden beyond his years.
"Father." Linni placed the coffee on the desk, with a hint of concern in his tone, "Are you going to Xumi tomorrow morning?"
Lin Yide nodded, "Yes."
After hearing this, Linny hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Father, I know that everything you have done is for Fontaine to survive the disaster predicted.
However, I believe that it is the safest and best way to flee Fontaine and keep the people away from the impending danger."
Lin Yide pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Escape is only the last resort.
The best way to deal with prophecy is to let it happen."
Linnie was confused. He could hardly understand the deeper meaning of Lin Yide's words.
Lin Yide picked up the coffee and took a sip, "Linnie, you should know that only the Fontaine people will dissolve in the water of the original fetal sea.
But do you know why this happens?"
Lini shook his head and said, "I have thought about this question before, but I have never been able to find a reasonable explanation."
After saying this, he looked at Lin Yide expectantly, hoping to get an answer.
Lin Yide did not answer his question directly, but snapped his fingers lightly.
Then, the water elements in the air seemed to have heard the call and quickly gathered into a clear and transparent basin, floating steadily in the air.
Afterwards, the cold ice element condensed in Lin Yide's hand, gradually forming a palm-sized, lifelike little ice man.
Lin Yide smiled slightly and gently threw the little ice man into the basin, and the little ice man floated quietly on the water.
Then he summoned the fire element to heat the water in the basin.
As the water temperature gradually rose, the little iceman began to melt slowly and eventually disappeared completely in the water.
Linnie witnessed this scene with his eyes wide open. His cognition suffered an unprecedented impact at this moment.
"How could this happen?" he muttered to himself.
After a long time, Linni finally accepted the fact that the bodies of the Fontaine people were actually made up of the water of the primordial fetal sea.
After accepting this fact, his thoughts suddenly surged like the tide, and he thought of many things related to it.
"Father, is this the sin that the people of Fontaine are born with?" Linnie asked uncertainly.
Lin Yide nodded slightly, confirming his guess, “Yes, Lini.
In the future, there will be a grand trial that will completely cleanse the heavy sin that weighs on the people of Fontaine.
And everything I did was to ensure that this grand trial would have a perfect and satisfactory ending, and that no one would be sacrificed. "
He paused, looked deeply into Linny's eyes, and said solemnly: "Linny, these things I told you must not be known to anyone else, including your sister Linnet and teacher Funina. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Lin Ni felt deeply Lin Yide's trust in him, and he replied firmly: "Father, I understand."
Lin Yide nodded with satisfaction, picked up the coffee and savored it slowly.
Late-night coffee always brings a special warmth, as if it can dispel all fatigue and sleepiness.
Linnie seemed to have something else to say, but he hesitated, with hesitation and struggle flashing in his eyes.
Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Father, there is a piece of gossip that has been widely circulated within the West Factory recently."
Lin Yide put down the coffee in his hand, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and asked casually: "Oh? What's the gossip?"
Linnie took a deep breath and said seriously: "They all say that you are actually a god."
After listening to this, Lin Yide sneered, "How could the guards actually believe such nonsense? It's ridiculous."
But Linny's expression was extremely serious, "Father, I actually believe it too.
Everything you do, there are things that even a true god would have trouble doing.
Today, the Western Guards' worship of you is like that of fanatical believers."
Lin Yide originally wanted to stop the spread of this rumor, but on second thought, he decided to give it up.
Because, in the near future, when he unlocks the demon form, he will become a true god.
...................................
The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Lin Yide was already riding on Tevarin's back, crossing the sea of clouds and arriving at Liyue Harbor.
He walked through the streets with ease and finally found Zhongli, who was sitting in a teahouse and leisurely enjoying breakfast.
"Guest Zhongli, I will go to Xumi today." Lin Yide walked straight to Zhongli and sat down without any hesitation.
Zhongli chewed the breakfast slowly and swallowed it, then raised his head calmly, "Oh, really? Then I wish you a safe journey, bye!"
Lin Yide looked at him and said, "Actually, I want to consult you about something before I leave."
Zhongli picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea slowly. "I can answer you, but in exchange, you need to play a game of Seven Sacred Games with me."
Lin Yide's expression froze when he heard this. "Zhongli Keqing, can you change the conditions? I'm not good at the Seven Sacred Game Kings."
Zhongli shook his head calmly, "No. This is the only condition."
Lin Yide had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
In this game, Lin Yide deliberately chose a quick attack deck, intending to win the game in one swift move when Zhongli's cards were not yet stable.
This tactic did gain a huge advantage at the beginning. Even when Zhongli had the greatest advantage, he only had a little health left. Lin Yide could win with just a slight attack.
However, when victory was just around the corner, Zhongli's last card on the field - True Lord of Rescue and Suffering - unlocked his immortal power and unleashed a powerful skill called "Resurrection".
This skill allows Zhongli to revive all the fallen cards on the field.
Then, Lin Yide's nightmare began...
At noon, after a long and fierce battle, Zhongli's Lord of Rescue finally used her small wooden sword to deal the final blow to Lin Yide and freed him.
Lin Yide breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhongli Keqing, you win."
Zhongli felt a little unsatisfied. He really enjoyed this kind of game and won by defense.
