All the changes in the world begin with Tom Cat

Chapter 245 Fufu Zhongli and Wendy

"Lady Funina, it turns out you are here!"

An elegant blond girl with an umbrella suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, accompanied by two bodyguards in black.

"Huh? Navia?" Funina put away her depressed mood and looked at the visitor.

"Lady Funina, is this the Snow King?"

Navia looked at Ding Hai curiously.

"Hello, Miss Navia." Ding Hai smiled at Navia.

"Hello Snow King, I have heard about it in Fontaine. You and the blond traveler are very brave and actually destroyed the conspiracy of the Order and the Fools. It is really amazing!"

Navia gave Ding Hai a thumbs up.

Ding Hai just smiled slightly at the blond exotic girl in front of him.

He still had some impression that she seemed to be the daughter of the president of the Fontainebleau Rose Society.

However, the death of Kares has always been a heartache for Navia, so she has been secretly investigating the murderer of the Rose of Thorns Society.

This time, in order to relax, she accompanied Funina to Liyue to celebrate the festival at Villette's request.

"Ah? How can this be so embarrassing?" Navia was stunned.

"Snow King, we are back!"

Fontaine’s prophecy~
Maybe he's going to lie down in Fontaine~
When the trip to Fontaine is over, or the journey in this world is over.

"Snow King, who are they?" Kong Bao was confused.

But this time he needs to control the budget carefully. After all, Paimon's appetite is not as big as usual.

"Of course I, this Water God, want to take a good look at Liyue's Sea Lantern Festival. This is to strengthen cultural exchanges between the two countries."

As night fell the next day, every household brought their children outdoors to watch the bustling night market, and Ding Hai and his party were no exception.

When he heard that Funina was the Water Goddess, Paimon was surprised and asked, "Are you the Water Goddess of Fontaine?"

While selling things, enjoying this festive season, it feels like Mr. Zhong's leisurely travels in the world.

Paimon couldn't wait to take Kong Bao to a food stall to buy snacks, but Kong had no choice but to follow him.

However, Cares later passed away due to the disappearance of the girl, and Navia had no choice but to take over the Rose of Thorns Society.

Zhongli walked to his side, looked at the night sky full of stars, and said:

"Although this is my first time celebrating the Hai Lantern Festival in Liyue, it's really lively!" Ding Hai couldn't help but sigh.

I have to say, this is quite interesting.

"Happy Hai Lantern Festival, you three!" Zhongli smiled at the three of them.

"Then~ I'm sorry to bother you, but what about you, Lady Funina?" Navia turned to Funina and asked for her opinion.

Before Paimon could continue speaking, Ding Hai came to Funina's rescue.

But fortunately, she had two assistants left behind by her father, Miles and Silver, to assist her, otherwise she would not have been able to control the Rose of Thorns Society so quickly.

"I believe it, but not much. Why do you feel like a water god like you are an ordinary person?"

Ding Hai briefly introduced Funina and Navia to Sora and Paimon.

After hearing Paimon's words, Funina panicked, but quickly calmed down.

"Paimon, she is the Water Goddess of Fontaine. Don't doubt it. By the way, since you guys are here in Liyue, it's also the Sea of ​​Lantern Festival, so let's do our best to be landlords!"

Seeing Funina's appearance, Ding Hai couldn't help laughing.

Although it is not as grand as the Chinese festivals in his previous life, here in Liyue, considering the population factors, it is already very lively.

A voice came from behind, and Ding Hai knew it was Hall Master Hu without having to guess.

The Rose of Thorns Association is a non-governmental mutual aid organization in the Fontaine area. It is independent of the official Fontainebleau. It was established by Carres of Baisong Town and served as the first generation boss. Its base is in Baisong Town and its headquarters is on a ship in Baisong Town. .

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's great to have friends from far away~"

After all, who else besides Hu Tao could have such a lively and powerful voice?
But Hu Tao is not alone, and Zhongli is also with him.

"Happy Lantern Festival!"

"Let me give you a brief introduction."

He and Sora walked along the streets while selling homemade milk tea to tourists.

But let her go, after all, after playing as a god for more than five hundred years, sometimes she has to conflict between her identity as a water god and her enjoyment of life as an ordinary person.

Paimon and Sora also appeared.

"Wow! It's so lively! Sora, let's go buy some food, okay?"

"Yo! Snow King! There's still Sora and Paimon!"

But he didn't expect to meet the famous Snow King.

Funina put her hands on her hips and started acting.

"What? You don't believe it! I am the dedicated Water Goddess Funina from Fontaine!"

"The Hai Lantern Festival was established to commemorate the heroes who protected Liyue in history. Every year during the Hai Lantern Festival, an immortal will be chosen as the shape of the "Ming Xiao Lantern" as a commemoration. "

"People in Liyue believe that the bright lantern in the night sea will guide the souls of heroes in the past to return home, so this lantern also has the meaning of "May the fire be passed down from generation to generation, and virtue will never be extinguished.""

Zhongli explained the approximate origin of the Hailantern Festival.

"I remember that the Sea Lantern Festival is the first full moon night every year. There is also a festival on a full moon night in my hometown, but the meaning and origin of the festival are quite different from the Sea Lantern Festival in Liyue."

Ding Hai looked up at the bright moon, and couldn't help but think of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Oh? My friend, can you tell me something?"

Zhongli became a little interested. After all, it was interesting to be able to hear information from outside the world.

"Snow King, what is the difference between this festival you are talking about and the Hai Lantern Festival?"

Paimon also came over, holding two barbecue skewers in his hands, and his mouth was slick with oil and water, making it shiny.

"It's called the Mid-Autumn Festival in our place. It has different origins and meanings from the Hailantern Festival in Liyue, but it falls on the night of the full moon. It is a festival that symbolizes reunion and is rich in poetry. There is also a myth and legend about this Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Ding Hai responded.

"Myths and legends? Tell me!" Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes flashed with curiosity.

She also likes this kind of festival with legendary stories. When she was a child, she loved hanging around her grandfather and listening to many stories about Liyue.

"Well, legend has it that in our place, in ancient times, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, causing the crops to wither and the people to live in dire straits. A hero named Hou Yi, who was extremely powerful, sympathized with the suffering people, drew his magic bow, and with one breath, Shoot down more than nine suns and strictly order the last sun to rise and set on time to benefit the people."

Paimon exclaimed: "Wow! This guy named Hou Yi is so powerful! He can actually shoot down the sun!"

Kong grabbed Paimon and told her not to interrupt, as he was also listening to his superiors.

"Hou Yi had a wife named Chang'e. One day Hou Yi went out to visit friends. But he met a great god named the Queen Mother of the West and was given the elixir of death. As long as he takes this medicine, mortals can instantly become immortals and become god-like beings. From now on, there will no longer be the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death.”

"It was only later that someone with evil intentions found out and forced Chang'e, who was alone at home, to hand over the elixir. Seeing that she was defeated, Chang'e had no choice but to open the treasure chest and swallow the elixir. Her body immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew into the sky. Go and live alone on the moon"

"After Hou Yi found out, he also missed his wife. He looked at the moon every day and placed fragrant fruits in the distance to worship Chang'e in the Moon Palace. Later, the custom of worshiping the moon began. The Mid-Autumn Festival also has the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon, which is derived from it. It means missing my hometown and being reunited."

Ding Hai told them the general information about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"It sounds interesting. It's a [reunion] festival~ It's so romantic~"

Zhongli sighed with emotion.

"Huh?" The old man seemed to have noticed something. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to Ding Hai and others: "Jiu Mengzi is here, do you want to come together?"

"Jiu Mengzi? Wendy? We haven't seen Wendy for a while, right? In that case, let's go together, Sora."

Paimon was stunned, but thinking about the ubiquitous Mondstadt, she didn't seem surprised.

"In that case, I'll follow you." "You just go, I'm going to find Xiangling! ┏(＾0＾)┛"

After Hu Tao said a few words, he turned around and left.

"This kid~" Zhongli smiled like an old father, but it was okay to let these young people play by themselves.

Soon, Ding Hai and the others followed Zhong Li to an open-air stone table at the port.

A green figure was already sitting at the stone table, and several familiar people were also there.

"Hey! Old man, you're here! You've been waiting for a long time!"

Zhongli waved when he saw their arrival.

"Lord Zhongli!"

Grandma Ping and Zhenjun, who is very good at chatting, are also here.

"Wow! It's that woman!"

Paimon exclaimed upon seeing Liu Yun.

Liu Yun frowned slightly: "Presumptuous! Which woman is it? I haven't seen you for a while, but you little guy's talkative nature is still the same."

Although Paimon was a little rude, she didn't take it to heart.

"Hehehe~ Sorry, I'm used to it~" Pamon smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, come here, everyone. There should be sky lanterns and a lion dance performance later."

Grandma Ping waved to a few people, and Ding Hai was not polite and sat next to Wendy.

However, this chair was a bit small. After all, he was so big now, so he made an ice chair on the spot and sat down.

A few people also started chatting, mainly about recent home affairs.

But when Liu Yun talked about his two apprentices, he couldn't stop talking.

The dark histories of Gan Yu and Shen He when they were young were basically exposed.

If the two of them were here at this time, it would probably be another social death.

At this time, Funina and Navia saw Ding Hai and others walking over.

"Sora, Paimon, and Snow King, happy Lantern Festival! Are these your friends?"

Navia said enthusiastically.

"Happy Hai Lantern Festival, come and sit, there are still seats here, these are..."

Ding Hai briefly introduced a few people to Navia and Funina, but of course did not reveal the true identities of Zhongli and others.

"Hello, I am Navia from the Rose of Thorns Society in Fontaine. These two are my followers, and this is our Lady Funina, the Water Goddess of Fontaine! It's such a festive season, let's have some snacks. "

Silver on the side also took out something: "Snacks and candies, I brought them all!"

After hearing that Funina was the water goddess of Fontaine, everyone except Ding Hai turned their attention to Funina.

Funina felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but fortunately she was very calm and did not show any panic.

"Wow! Some snacks!"

When Paimon looked at the snacks on the table, he was about to be attacked by a hungry tiger, but fortunately, he was caught by Sora in time.

"Thank you!"

Several people enjoyed some snacks, and everyone praised it, except Liu Yun, that arrogant guy.

After chatting for a while, the observant Funina also realized that these people did not seem to be ordinary people, especially Zhongli, who looked young and had a mature and solemn look.

So, he quietly asked Ding Hai: "Snow King, these friends of yours must not be ordinary people, right?"

Ding Hai turned his head in surprise, not expecting Funina to notice it so quickly.

There shouldn't be any problem telling her about Zhongli's identity, right?

It is estimated that the old man and the fish monster have discovered Fu Nina's abnormality.

So, he whispered to Funina: "Zhongli is the King of Rocks, the green bard is Barbatos, the wind god of Mondstadt, and the other two are the immortals of Liyue."

Funina: "What did you say?! (ΩДΩ)"

She immediately screamed.

Then he quickly glanced at the two gods and immortals who looked calm.

There are actually two earthly rulers here!

Funina started to panic.

She knew whether he was a real water god or not. Although he was a water god, he did not have the power of a water god.

And all this is in response to the occurrence of that prophecy.

But now that there are two gods here, won't her identity be exposed?

Funina was extremely anxious, and her mind was filled with thoughts.

But at this time Ding Hai spoke: "Okay, Funina, in fact, I know that you have been playing the role of the water god for five hundred years, just to deceive the man on Sky Island and solve the prophecy left by Fengdan in ancient times. ?"

He also gets straight to the point and lays everything out.

"How do you know? No, I."

Funina looked at Ding Hai with a horrified expression and began to hesitate.

"Fengdan's prophecy? And Snow King, what did you just say?"

Paimon quickly asked, and everyone else focused their attention on Ding Hai.

Navia interjected: "Actually, there is a prophecy spread in the country of Fontaine that the people of Fontaine are born with sins, which cannot be eliminated no matter how much trial a righteous country tries. Until one day, the sea level of Fontaine will begin. Ascending, the sin-bearing people will be submerged in the water. Eventually, everyone will dissolve in the sea, leaving only the water god crying on the throne. Only then will the sins of the Fontaine people be washed away."

Paimon complained: "What a negative prophecy, but what [sin] did the Fontaines say they were born with?"

Sora: "I'm also very curious, Snow King, you should know something, right?"

Ding Hai nodded: "I do know the ins and outs of the matter. Miss Funina, please sit down. This may be about the future in Fontaine, and the you in the mirror."

Funina was shocked again when she heard this.

Myself in the mirror! How could he know this?
She had no choice, she was at a loss now, but she couldn't admit that she was pretending to be the water god, so she could only sit down and listen.

"Actually, this prophecy is true. It is not so much a prophecy as it is a punishment imposed on Feng Dan by the heavenly laws of Sky Island!"

Heavenly justice?

Wendy and Zhongli's eyes narrowed.

I didn't expect that this matter also involves Sky Island. It seems that things are a bit complicated.

They also noticed something was wrong with Funina when she arrived.

There is the aura of the water god, but it is more like a curse from the gods, but without the power and pressure of the gods.

This is very wrong.

Therefore, the two old antiques made the same judgment together: the Funina in front of them is not the real Fukalos~
"Why? Why is there such a punishment?" Funina suddenly became excited.

She has also noticed over the years that the sea level in Fontaine has also risen, and even the [Missing Girl Case] ​​is related to this, which makes Funina very uneasy.

But her reflection in the mirror told her that it was okay to keep acting like her god.

But is this really okay?
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

After saying that, Funina calmed down.
