Tewat's Me Undercover in Solstice Winter

Chapter 363 Going to Fontaine

Somewhat unexpected.

This underground ancient capital, which was completely shaped by the black mud of the abyss, did not reveal a particularly depressing atmosphere.

walking on the street.

The children are still playing happily.

Yula could tell at a glance that these children had stars in their eyes.

Just like the Kaia she knew from the Knights of the West Wind.

"Pure-blooded Kharians."

Youla remembered what Lin Feng once said and murmured in a low voice.

"You really know a lot."

Yuan Shang heard this and once again showed a surprised expression.

The pure-blood Kanreyans were cursed with immortality, and the half-blood Kanreyans became Chuchus.

This is something only the remnants of Kanria and the Order of the Abyss know.

How did Yora, a native of Mondstadt, know?
Yuan Shang gave Lin Feng a meaningful look.

It could only be this guy.

"Knowing too much is not a good thing."

After muttering something, Yuan Shang quickened his pace and continued to lead the way.

As we delve deeper into this ancient capital.

The difference from the outside world gradually became apparent.

The city looks black from the outside, the same color as the abyss.

But when you really get closer.

You will find that this place is as colorful as the outside world, and there is even an artificial sun hanging in the sky. It is difficult for people to tell the difference between this place and the outside city.

The buildings are all in the old style, and some are very dilapidated.

However, even for relatively new houses, cracks can be seen on the outside. It is obvious that the houses here have been built for who knows how many years.

Similar to the winter season, the factories here are also emitting thick black smoke, and the roar of machines can be clearly heard even from miles away.

Lin Feng knew it without even thinking about it.

This must have been the place where these war machines, the cultivators, were built.

Adults move quickly.

There was absolutely no time to stop and watch the rare strangers.

But when they see Yuan Shang, they will still politely beat their chests.

Lin Feng has seen this action before.

It is a common etiquette among the palace guards of Canria.

"Are they all descendants of palace guards?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Yes."

"The palace guards failed to protect our people."

"In order to repay this dereliction of duty, their descendants chose to do the most arduous work so that the surviving civilians can enjoy the hard-won peace."

Mentioning this matter, Fuchsami's voice sounded a little sad.

The Kanria War that year.

Countless civilians were mercilessly killed as punishment from heaven.

Those who survived became Qiuqiu people due to mixed blood, and were wasted to death in endless years.

When the war broke out.

In addition to the palace guards who were ordered to attack the Seven Gods, there were also a considerable number of people who were ordered to guard the civilians.

Guard the people of Kanria.

This order seemed to be engraved in their blood.

Whether they are the palace guards who were cursed and turned into monsters after the war, or the palace guards who can maintain their human form, they are still fighting for the unfinished mission at that time.

talking room.

Several children appeared on the road.

Unlike those adults, these children jumped up happily when they saw Yushang, happily shouting "Uncle Yushang", and were not at all frightened by the ferocious appearance of the apostle of the abyss.

The same is true for Abyss.

He couldn't make a human smile, so he could only tease them with a more cheerful tone than those children.

even.

He also allowed the children to climb on his shoulders and sang a nursery rhyme from the ground to them.

Looking at the scene in front of him.

I don't know why, but Youla felt a little panicked in her heart: "The child is innocent."

"Yes."

"The child is innocent."

Lin Feng also felt emotional.

Fuchshang's singing was difficult to listen to, but the children liked it very much. After singing one song, the children clamored for him to continue singing.

Such a warm and weird scene should never have happened.

"Ugh--"

Lin Feng sighed.

He suddenly felt sympathy for Canrea.

Of course.

He only sympathizes with the civilians who have suffered unreasonable disasters. As for the high-ranking officials who caused disasters for Kanrea, it would be better for them to die more.

It seemed that Yuan Shang had forgotten to take Lin Feng and Youla to meet Ying. He played with these children for a long time, until the children were tired from playing, and he had time to continue doing business.

"Didn't you expect that?"

Walking on the smooth street, Yuan Shang asked casually.

"Ah."

Lin Feng nodded, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to build a paradise in this filthy world."

"The Promised Land?"

"You think this is the promised land?"

Yuan Shang's voice suddenly became angry: "You, a person from the earth, touch your heart and look around you. Is this called a paradise?"

Lin Feng, who knew he had said the wrong thing, did not refute and just lowered his head in silence.

Compare to the outside world.

This is indeed not a paradise, but more like a cage. It's just that the current people in power in Kanria have whitewashed this cage for future generations.

"What are you going to do with these kids?"

Yura, who had remained silent, couldn't bear to ask.

She knew Kaia's story.

A prince was abandoned to Mondstadt when he was young, shouldering an almost impossible mission to survive.

Seeing these carefree children now, Yura suddenly felt worried about their future.

Fuchigami's answer to this.

It was a sneer.

"Oh, what do you think?"

"Brainwashed into warriors and trained as part of our plan to restore the country?"

"Sent to the human world as a spy, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the country of the Seven Gods?"

"Or do you mean to transform them into the fighting machines of the Abyss Order?"

Every time Yuan Shang said something, Yula's heart would tremble violently.

These were the scenes she least wanted to see, but they were also the most likely things to happen.

But what Yuan Shang said next was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Warriors are the duty of the Palace Guard."

"Spies are the responsibility of the Crown."

"These children of civilians have only one mission, and that is to enjoy their lives as much as possible before the wear and tear sets in."

Yuanshang looked up at the invisible sky and said in a sad voice: "This is the rule set by the king and princess. During the great disaster, we failed to protect our people, so now, we must at least protect them. children."

Unexpected.

Totally unexpected.

Neither Lin Feng nor Youla expected to get such an answer.

In Lin Feng's impression.

Kanria should be all fanatical war lunatics.

After all, they have built machines such as cultivators, and they still believe that land must be fought for with iron and blood.

But now.

Yuanshang's answer made Lin Feng subvert this understanding.

The rest of the journey was speechless.

The three of them came all the way to the palace in the ancient capital. After verifying their identities, they went directly to a main hall.

it's here.

only one person.

"Long time no see." "You have changed a lot."

Ying, who was still wearing a white dress and a crown, sat solemnly on the throne.

I saw Lin Feng and Youla coming in.

She waved to Yuan Shang and said, "You can retreat."

The temperament of the Princess of the Abyss was fully revealed at this moment.

"I provoked a guy who I can't beat. I had no choice but to come here to hide."

After Yuan Shang stepped back, Lin Feng smiled back.

Ying no longer maintained her style as the princess of the abyss. As soon as she took off her crown, her figure flashed in front of Lin Feng.

After looking at it carefully, she said.

"It's Apep, right?"

"Her scent is very strong on you."

"It's not a good idea to provoke her."

Ying is still very clear about the strength of the first generation Grass Dragon King.

Lin Feng helplessly spread his hands and said, "Who knew she would suddenly go crazy? If I hadn't had a backup plan, I would have suffered a big loss this time."

"Ha ha--"

"Then I would rather you suffer more losses."

Ying laughed easily.

The smell of the abyss in Lin Feng's breath at this time is very abscessful. If he comes a few more times, he can really become the help of the abyss.

"Tsk, that will disappoint you."

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "I'm still prepared."

"That's a pity."

Ying said disappointedly, then looked at Youla again, and said with an elegant Canria etiquette: "Hello, Miss Youla, we meet again."

"Ah, hello."

Unexpectedly, Ying would actually greet her, so Yura hurriedly returned the greeting.

"sit down."

"It's really rude to ask guests to stand and talk."

"I happen to have spirits and tea from the ground here. Which one do you want to drink? Coffee and Fengda are also available. If you want to drink, you can tell me."

Ying pointed to the table and chairs aside, and then took out many drinks from the abyss's teleportation network.

However, although Lin Feng and Youla sat down, no one touched the things she took out.

This made Ying slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately.

She quickly found a new topic for herself: "How is my brother?"

This is what Ying is most concerned about.

It had been a long time since she had seen Kong again since the last time she said goodbye to the snowy mountains.

"do not know."

Lin Feng answered simply: "He returned to Liyue when I left. I think he must be recovering his strength under the protection of the emperor."

"The Emperor's Protection"

It’s better not to say these words.

As soon as he said this, bursts of anger filled Ying's face: "Seven Gods, hum——"

This topic passed in just a few words.

Although the Seven Gods also have ulterior motives against Kong, Ying also knows very well that the current Seven Gods do not allow anything to happen to Kong. At least safety is guaranteed.

"call--"

Ying, whose mood became much worse, asked again: "Where are you going to go next?"

Before Lin Feng could speak.

She just said to herself: "Let me tell you something, your brother, he was arrested in Fontaine."

"!!!"

Lin Feng's pupils shrank.

Who is Ying talking about?
"Ajax?"

Lin Feng thought of Dadalia, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Yes, it's him."

"I heard that someone came forward to help others fight in agent duels."

"He ended up being arrested."

Ying told Lin Feng what she knew.

Agent duel.
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched.

He didn't know much about Fontaine.

But there was one thing he knew very well.

That was Fontaine's Water God's Trial, which turned into a grand operatic performance.

People in Fontaine also came quickly to watch the court proceedings.

Before going to court, however, all suspects have a chance to defend their honor by challenging an official duel agent to a duel.

However, since the duel agents are all the most powerful people carefully selected from the entire country, and the duel itself is said to be end-to-end, it basically ends with the death of one party or surrender.

It's just that people who generally choose this method of self-certification of reputation basically fight to the end and use their own blood to prove their reputation.

If you win, you can avoid trial and protect your reputation.

If you lose the fight, if you are not dead, you will have to go to court and basically have no chance to defend yourself.

Can normally.

Because there is no death penalty in Fontaine.

No.

Fontaine actually has the death penalty.

It's just that for hundreds of years, no one has been sentenced to death, so everyone gradually forgot that there was such a thing as death penalty.

It is almost equivalent to no death penalty.

This means that fighting to the death is unnecessary.

So in most cases, very few people choose to apply for a duel.

Only those who have suffered truly unacceptable injustice, or those who value their reputation extremely highly, will make such a choice and use their own blood and life to defend themselves.

Dadalia, the fighting madman.

He must have felt a fighting fever after seeing the duel, and then he broke Fontaine's law and was arrested.

"This idiot."

Lin Feng cursed, and then said: "Where are the fools? No one is going to catch him?"

"Catch?"

"Oh I see."

"Unfortunately, it seems that it was not successful."

Ying spread his hands.

The arrest of an executive is no small matter.

Fontaine's behavior was almost equivalent to a slap in the face of the Winter Kingdom, and then he threw the Winter Kingdom's sign on the ground and stepped on it several times.

This was originally done for fun.

Originally, she thought she could see the Fools and Fontaine fighting to the death.

But what she didn't expect was that after the other executive of Fools arrived, he simply asked a few questions and ignored it.

Correct.

do not care!
Not to mention whether she didn't do any tricks behind the scenes, but on the surface, she just didn't care and allowed Dadalia to be imprisoned in Fontaine's prison.

"who is it!"

After hearing the whole story clearly, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel angry.

Ying thought for a moment, rubbed her chin and said.

"It seems to be barking."

"Servant."

hear the name.

Lin Feng's anger was half extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.

The last executive he wanted to face right now.

Just a servant.

"Why is she——"

Lin Feng rubbed his temples in distress.

But no matter what, Dadalia is his best friend, the kind of brother-in-law. It is impossible for him to watch Dadalia being locked up in prison and no one cares about him.

"Let's go to Fontaine."

Lin Feng stood up and said goodbye to Ying.

Before leaving, he turned around and asked, "How is your negotiation with the Queen going?"

About this question.

Ying chuckled: "I'm sorry, the negotiation broke down and I can't dig you out from the Winter Solstice Kingdom."
