Chapter 1254: Conversation with Fukaros
"Yohoho, now I can finally relax."
Gu Sanqiu nodded to Xiao : "Thank you, Brother Xiao, do you want to stay and have a celebratory drink with us?"
"I also need to guard Dihua Province. If too many outsiders enter Liyue, I don't know if it will cause chaos among the remnants of the demon gods."
"Oh, that's fine. I'll tell Xing Lao Er and the others about the deployment of defenses over there. The people from the Ten Gold Association should be arriving soon."
Xiao nodded: "Celebration drink, next time."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Kong, who was still in a confused state, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't even think about it. You haven't even completed the resonance of the seven elements. Whatever you think about now is just putting pressure on yourself. Do you think you are a match for others now?"
The failure to resonate the seven elements is just an excuse. In fact, what Gu Sanqiu meant is that you haven’t even recovered your peak form from the past, and now you still want to fight with others?
Back then, the brother and sister couldn't defeat each other even when they worked together, so they certainly wouldn't be a match for each other now.
"I know, I'm not that impulsive."
Kong glanced at Gu Sanqiu's chest and said, "After all, I don't have your ability to be alive and kicking after being seriously injured."
"I will still be in Liyue for the next period of time. I won't be leaving for the time being. I have to make up for the overtime pay you give me."
If there was any danger, this guy would definitely rush up regardless of the consequences.
Considering the lives and property of his brothers, Kong decided not to go out for the time being and just stay in Liyue as a high-level fighter.
Anyway, there are still many places in Liyue that he and Paimon haven't been to, so it would be nice to take this opportunity to go for a walk.
"I'm touched. Come and give me a hug."
" Get out of here ."
Kong held Gu Sanqiu's big head and said, "Where should I stay? Does your vault have a guest room?"
"No, how about you just live in the woodshed?"
null:?
"Your extremely luxurious place actually has a woodshed?!"
"From a common sense perspective, some foods really need to be cooked with firewood to have that unique taste in memory."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just kidding you. We are all brothers. What's the point of talking about guest rooms or not?"
"Remember what I told you? As long as you come back, Liyue will always have a place for you and Paimon to sleep. Just pick a room and book it."
"Of course, you have to pay for the furniture yourself. There's nothing else in there except the necessary big pieces. I won't get involved in things like building a loving nest."
Sora and Paimon looked at each other, then nodded subconsciously.
That seems to be the case. Since it is their room, some things should have their own imprints, so that there is a feeling of "home".
"Hey, hey, master of the family."
Xiao Hei's voice rang out: "There are a few people from Fontaine outside who are staying here and won't leave. These bastards are simply drinking the herbal tea that is supposed to clear away heat and relieve internal heat as if it were water. Come and help."
How could those people drink herbal tea as water?
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Take your time to choose. Just be careful not to step into the big warehouse where I store Mora. I'm going to be out for a while."
After leaving the vault, Gu Sanqiu came to Xiao Hei's herbal tea stall.
"How many of you are waiting for me?"
The sweet water here is of the legendary "not-sweet-sweet" kind. Its main feature is a natural and refreshing sweetness that will not leave that "uncomfortable" sweetness in your mouth.
As for herbal tea, it is as bitter as it can be. Not to mention outsiders, even some people in Liyue can't stand the taste.
When I feel unwell, I often pinch my nose and gulp down a bowl of food, then lie down on my seat and start to eat.
"Gu Shi Xiang Zun, to be precise, it's not us who are waiting for you, but someone else."
Envoy Fontaine said: "Our Demon Lord wants to have a few words with you."
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Fukalos?"
"right."
As for things like saying the demon's real name directly, Envoy Fontaine didn't bother to care, not to mention that the other party did have the strength and status.
"She is in Liyue?"
"No, if Xiang Zun wants to communicate with her, then all he needs to do is go to a place where living water flows and say her divine name once."
"Her divine name. It seems that the situation in your Fontaine is somewhat chaotic."
"fine."
Fontaine's envoy left, and Gu Sanqiu held his face with a puzzled look.
"She wants me to help her solve some problem, right?"
That was Golden Retriever's job, not his.
"Who knows? Anyway, this is Liyue. If you want to ask, you can just ask her directly. You don't need to go to Fontaine directly."
“That’s right.”
Gu Sanqiu carefully selected a deserted river area: "Sir Fukaros."
"Well, hello, Mud Boy, I thought it would take a long time for you to choose to contact me."
Mud boy, did Lottia say the same thing to me before?
Gu Sanqiu didn't intend to get bogged down in these trivial details.
"What do you want from me?"
"Nothing, I just want to chat with you. What do you think about Fontaine?"
Gu Sanqiu was puzzled: "Fontaine? It has nothing to do with me. Since it is the Land of Water, the girls must have good skin and gentle personalities, right?"
Fukaros: ...
Could it be that all the women in your Liyue are virtuous, gentle and good at managing the household?
Have you forgotten what kind of strong woman your sister is, the kind that no man can compare to?
"That's not what I want to ask. What I want to ask is what you think of the court's just trial."
She originally planned to keep it a secret, but Gu Sanqiu seemed a little different.
Don't respond.
"Well, I don't feel anything special. Although this so-called justice trial sounds a bit abstract, it seems to have some clues to follow."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "No matter which link it is, it is more like a kind of integration and experimentation."
"Are you planning to combine the procedure and the result to create something big? However, due to your indifference, the two kinds of justice and the effect after the fusion have not been reflected. Instead, it seems like a series of farces."
"To sum up, there's not much to say. The situation is different from our Liyue, and I don't know what you, the God of Justice, are thinking."
Fukaros smiled softly: "If it weren't for what happened just now, maybe I wouldn't be interested in communicating with a troublemaker like you."
"Child, only the law of nature can never be made an enemy."
"My ideals are pure and pure. It is not me who can make the judgment. They can even judge the gods."
"Even if it's a farce, it can basically get the most fair verdict in the end."
Gu Sanqiu also laughed: "Then can I know the reason? If you say this without explaining the reason, many people may think you are a coward."
"Yeah, maybe a lot of people think that about me, but I don't care."
Fukaros' tone did not change: "Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"If such a future really comes, it will bring endless pain to my people."
"Whether it's the sacrifices of war or the destruction of natural disasters, huge casualties are inevitable."
"And my people will be the ones who will bear all of this directly. Do you think I am willing to achieve such a future?"
"Some people may think that I have all kinds of problems and am a hysterical and contradictory lunatic, but I have always been clear about one thing."
“I love my people.”
Fukaros' voice faded away: "That's it, young and ancient troublemaker, this is all I want to tell you."
"Also, if there are no additional changes, please never set foot on the land of Fontaine."
"Your arrival seems to be announcing that the end of the world is approaching."
