Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

Fortunately, when the elevator was being built above Mellow Petersburg, the engineers took into account that a large number of troops might be sent for support later, so they built the elevator large enough, otherwise it would not have been able to accommodate so many people.

Should we say that Fontaine is indeed a country of art? From a distance, the elevator where Funina and the other two were standing looked like an exquisitely decorated pavilion.

After waiting for a long time, Funina excitedly greeted the visitors from afar. Both the people of Fontaine and Funina herself were very grateful to these friends who came to help enthusiastically.

According to the original plan of looking for Funina, such an important occasion naturally needs to be accompanied by a grand opening like a drama.

The uniformed guards standing in neat rows led the way, surrounded by cheering spectators. And she, the queen of waters and laws, the goddess of justice of Fontaine, the water goddess Furninna, made an elegant appearance under the expectation of the crowd.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.

First, the originally stable mechanical guard line suddenly collapsed, and then reinforcements from afar arrived ahead of schedule, so the grand welcome ceremony that Finina had expected had to be cancelled.

However, it is indeed a good thing that the reinforcements can arrive early. As the god of Fontaine, Funina naturally cannot help but express her strength to these enthusiastic friends.

Although there were only three people to greet Lu Ming and his companions, they were all heavyweights.

First of all, there is Funina. As the water goddess of Fontaine, her status is naturally needless to say.

Next is Navilette. As the highest judge, Navilette is the actual leader of Fontaine when Fufu has been slacking off for years. And as the Water Dragon King, he is no less powerful than a god in terms of status and strength.

Finally, there is Leosili. As a duke, he is no ordinary man. In fact, as the owner of Melo Petersburg, Leosili is undoubtedly the person who is most familiar with Melo Petersburg. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and Leosili, the local snake, is not weak.

Before, for her own safety, Funina would always bring guards or Clorinde with her when she appeared in public. After all, even if no one wanted to challenge the power of the gods, they still had to be on guard against crazy fans.

After Furninna gained the power of her mirror self, she felt more confident and considered that after withdrawing the mechanical guards originally used for patrolling in Fontaine, there might be a shortage of Shadow Hunters and the special training team, and public security would be in chaos. So she sent all the guards, including Clorinde, to maintain public order.

Those who can become the guards of Fernina are naturally very powerful, especially Clorinde, who is the successor of the Shadow Hunter and the strongest duel agent of Fernina.

Both his strength and reputation are very impressive among the people of Fontainebleau.

After all the fighters on the airship arrived, the two groups finally had their first contact.

On the Fontaine side, naturally, Funina, the water goddess, stood on the strongest side, and Villette and Leosli stood behind Funina.

Lu Ming's side is very intriguing.

On Lu Ming's side, although Zhongli and Wendy did not directly reveal their identities, it was no longer a secret to everyone on the airship.

Just talking about Liyue, Xiao, who should have the highest status, always showed respect in his eyes when he saw Zhongli. Everyone could guess that Zhongli's status was extraordinary.

Even if the people on the airship did not think of it for the moment, they were simple-minded and not stupid. They would naturally understand after feeling the tacit understanding of everyone.

As a Liyue person, who else could be so respected by the immortal Demon-Subduing Great Sage except the Geo King?

As for Wendy, who can play and hang out with Zhongli like an old friend, his identity can naturally be guessed without much thought.

As for Nashida, Cole knew her identity. Although Cole was a good boy, he was not good at keeping secrets.

With just a little probing, you can find out Nashida's special identity.

Therefore, on Lu Ming's side, the four people walking in the front were Lu Ming, Wendy, Zhongli, and Nashida.

It was very interesting that Lu Ming and the Great Demon Subduing Sage Xiao, who were supposed to be the highlights of this event, did not walk in the front, but no one on the airship objected or raised any questions.

As the two groups approached, Violet and Funina's expressions gradually became interesting.

Navilette didn't like gods. After all, the glory of the Seven Gods was built on the corpses of the seven ancient elemental dragon kings. As the newborn water dragon king, Navilette just pretended to be a passerby with a cold face, which was already very respectful.

On Funina's side, after learning from herself in the mirror that three of the four people in the front were her colleagues, Funina was stunned on the spot.

Although the situation in Fontaine is critical, it is not enough to alarm the three gods!

The words that Funina had prepared were stuck in her throat for a moment. Suddenly, she met three colleagues and felt inexplicably guilty. She even forgot what she was going to say.

(Funina: What should I do! What should I do! My other self, please save me! And Villette, why are you just watching?)

Leosli noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Why were the two bosses silent?!

At this time, the outgoing Wendy seemed extremely reliable.

Wendy greeted them with a smile: "Hey, have you three eaten? The weather is nice today."

"Hey! This must be the God of Fontaine—Lady Funina!"

"After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary! It is such a great honor to meet the Lord of Water!!!"

Furninna realized that Wendy and the others were not visiting Fontaine as gods, so she cooperated and said, "Haha, as a water god, I often have fun with the people. So as long as you stay in Fontaine for a while, you will know that gods are not arrogant and lonely."

Leosley smiled and said, "Yes, Lady Funina is well-known for being approachable in Fontaine. You can see Lady Funina at the Opiclay Opera House every week."

With Wendy's help in livening up the atmosphere, the atmosphere was no longer as solemn as before.

Lu Ming: "Ms. Fu Ningna, it's nice to meet you."

"Let me introduce you to these enthusiastic helpers."

Fu Nina cleared her throat, restored her usual elegant and proud demeanor, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Lu Ming."

Lu Ming: "The bard next to me in green is Wendy. She is from Mondstadt and likes to drink."

"This person who looks extraordinary and has elegant manners is Zhongli, a guest official from Liyue Wangsheng Hall. He likes to listen to operas and drink tea."

"And this lovely little girl, from Xumi, who loves planting trees."

After introducing the three heavyweight guests, Lu Ming began to introduce the people behind him.

After waiting patiently for Lu Ming to finish introducing everyone, Funina also began to introduce the two people behind her.

Fernina: "The one next to me is the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, Villette."

Feeling that something was not right with Violet, Furninna quietly reached out and tugged at Violet's sleeve.

(Funina: "Well, Villette, don't let me down at this important moment!")

Although somewhat reluctant, Villette loved Fontaine after all. Even though she had hatred for him before, she had to greet the reinforcements coming to support Fontaine with a smile.

Although he still had no expression on his face, it was much better than the bitter face he had just now, as if he was about to hit someone.

Navilette: "Hello, I'm Navilette."

Fininna immediately chimed in: "Haha, Villette is not in good condition today. It may be because he consumed too much energy when dealing with the undead creatures just now."

"The man next to him is Duke Leosley, the warden of Mellow Petersburg. He is the most familiar with Mellow Petersburg."

Leosley smiled very brightly, like a warm and warm man.

"Dear visitors from afar, welcome to Fontaine. I am Leosli."

……

Although it was a little awkward at the beginning, both parties quickly relaxed after getting to know each other a little better.

Because both parties dislike meaningless socializing, and the current situation in Melo Petersburg is serious, they decided after discussion to cancel the welcome banquet, defeat the undead creatures, and completely resolve the crisis in Fontaine before making up for it at the celebration banquet.

So Finina immediately led a group of people to the front line of the battle, the bottom layer of Melo Petersburg, which was also the entrance to the original fetal sea, and the front line where Fontaine was fighting against the undead creatures.

When Finina arrived with a group of people, the guards were patrolling carefully.

At this time, the zombie army in the original fetal sea had not yet recovered from Villette's attack. There were only two or three scattered zombies, roaring and staggering towards the crowd.

This number of zombies was not even worth the deployment of mechanical guards, and they were directly eliminated remotely by the defense forces using bows and arrows.

After carefully observing the zombies' movements for a while, Lu Ming asked, "Do you have any research data on these undead creatures? Are there any special symptoms after being attacked by these undead creatures?"

Funina shook her head and said, "We once tried to capture an undead creature and transport it to the Fontaine Academy for research. We found that this undead creature will not die unless its body is completely destroyed."

"And this undead creature seems to have an abnormal desire for human brains!"

"As for how we would react if attacked by undead creatures, we don't know."

Funina explained: "The water of the Primordial Sea seems to be polluted by undead creatures. As long as the Fontaine people touch the water of the Primordial Sea, they will melt. Therefore, we rely on mechanical guards to fight against the undead creatures. The defense forces only attack from a distance and have no experience in direct combat with undead creatures."

Lu Ming frowned as he looked at an undead creature that was deliberately left behind, struggling and drooling as it approached this side. He carefully observed its appearance and behavior characteristics.

Gray-black skin, exposed bones, pale and cloudy eyes, and tattered modern clothes on the body.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ming said, "I seem to have some understanding of this kind of undead creature, but whether it is the kind I know of requires further research."

Fu Nina immediately grabbed Lu Ming's hand excitedly, her hair shaking with excitement: "You are worthy of being Mr. Lu Ming, come and tell me."

Lu Ming: "The undead creatures I remember once brought a world to the brink of destruction. They are called zombies."

Walnut was surprised and said, "Zombies!"

"Such an ugly creature is actually a zombie. It doesn't look like the zombies described in the ancient books of the Wangsheng Hall?"

Lu Ming shook his head and explained, "It's not the kind of zombies that are circulated in Teyvat. And Qiqi is not an ordinary zombie, but an immortal."

"The biggest feature of this kind of zombie is that it is extremely contagious!"

"Pay special attention to this!"

Leosley asked, "Infectious! Does it mean that if you are attacked by this kind of zombie, you will be infected and become the same kind?"

Lu Ming: "That's right. If you are attacked and injured by a zombie, even if you are just scratched, you will be infected and assimilated in a very short time and turn into a zombie!"

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the atmosphere became dead silent.

These people had seen monsters more terrifying than the undead creature in front of them. But this undead creature in front of them, which looked a little stupid and looked like it could be beaten by a three-year-old child with a weapon, made these elite warriors from all countries of Teyvat feel cold in their hearts.

Everyone realized that if these undead creatures were really the zombies that Lu Ming had described, then as long as one of them escaped, the entire continent of Teyvat would be engulfed in a zombie frenzy.

The thought of the endless horde of zombies sweeping over like a tide, especially when there are relatives and friends among these zombies, how despairing it would be!

Wendy swallowed and said comfortingly, "Isn't it that bad yet? Didn't Lu Ming say that we still can't confirm the identities of these undead creatures?"

"Besides, even if they are zombies, as long as they rot in Mello Petersburg, wouldn't that ensure the safety of Teyvat?"

Funina was in no mood to pay attention to Wendy at this time.

Whenever she thought about the familiar Fontaine people turning into horrible zombies and surrounding them, Funina even felt that it would not be unacceptable for all the Fontaine people to turn back into pure water elves.

Lu Ming said to Funina and the defense army seriously, "I need to capture an undead creature as a test subject."

Before Funina could respond, Navelette, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, "Yes, but you can't take the undead out of Melo Petersburg."

Lu Ming asked: "Then how should I conduct the experiment? My instruments and equipment are still on the airship."

That Villette said: "Mr. Lu Ming, I will build a laboratory for you in Melo Petersburg, and I will also send people to transport the instruments and equipment on your airship."

"Please understand that the infectiousness of the zombies you mentioned is too terrifying. I must be responsible for the safety of the people of Fontaine."

After that, Navilet turned to Leosili and said, "Leosili, issue an order immediately. Except for equipment and supplies, no one is allowed to enter or leave Melo Petersburg. Inform Mo Mang Palace that all people who have been to Melo Petersburg since the appearance of the undead creatures must be investigated."

When Leosli heard this, he immediately went down to arrange the execution.

Although Lu Ming and other foreign reinforcements had just arrived, Villette wanted to put them under "house arrest" in the prison of Mello Petersburg, which did seem a bit inhumane.

But even little Paimeng understood this. After all, it would be really terrible if the zombies that Lu Ming mentioned really ran out of Mello Petersburg.
