Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Chapter 200: Forging a name with fire

Continued from previous chapter

The not-so-smart Funina thought there was nothing wrong with what Walnut said, but when she thought about it carefully, wasn't this her own statement?

"That's a coincidence! But doesn't this also show that the testimony of the Water God points to a different possibility? It's not just... that Zhongli is a follower of the Salt Demon who assassinated the Rock King." Walnut retorted.

After all, Zhongli is an employee of the Wangsheng Hall. Although he is always slacking off, he still needs to be protected. The people of our Wangsheng Hall cannot be bullied!

Fu Fu stammered, "This... This is pure sophistry! And it was you Liyue people who said that the Rock King was dead!"

Hu Tao nodded: "Yes, even three-year-old children in Liyue know that Prince Yan died because he failed to overcome the tribulation."

Finina frowned and asked curiously, "But as a descendant of the Rock God, don't you think this cause of death is too shameful... shameful?"

Hu Tao said word by word: "That's much more humiliating than being stabbed to death by our guest who roams the streets all day long!"

When Zhongli heard this, he closed his eyes silently, feeling calm and peaceful, without any turbulence in his heart.

After a long while, Zhongli clenched his fists and refuted: "As my hall master said, Ms. Funina's testimony is only based on my inference that I am not an ordinary person. There is no conclusive evidence of the assassination process! And now that the Liyue Seven Stars have determined that the Rock King Emperor died in a calamity, I naturally cannot be the murderer.

Of course, it won’t be the Rock King either.”

With a start, Funina suddenly remembered the bard she met a few days ago. He told her that during the immortal ceremony, the Rock King fell from the sky with a thud and died.

Then Zhongli, a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, sent Morax away, so he was the murderer!

"I was cheated by that guy..." The light in Funina's eyes lost, and she looked listless.

Sitting in shock in my dying illness, the clown turned out to be me, and this guy turned out to be a dragon… Bah, the Rock King!

【Wendy: Hey, Wendy doesn’t know】

[Tevlin: I've confirmed with my eyes that this is something Barbatos can do.]

[Paimon: Now you know why the people of Mond always say that the original wind god fooled you]

[Funina: ...No, this is a script, and I have never been fooled by him.]

[Nashida: We will go to Liyue for a gathering soon. You can get to know each other. Of course, you must bring Mora with you. He will escape with various excuses...]

[Shadow: I was the one who paid last time…]

[Yae Kamiko: Oh, my poor Ying, he didn’t have much to begin with, and he even got cheated out of his meal money. He was so angry that he broke down and started crying and making a fuss. So pitiful.]

[Klee: Sister Funina’s eyes are so wise! Klee wants to learn from her too]

[Paimon: Deli is stupid? ]

[Funina: How did I make these dead fish eyes]

[Nashida: Hmm...very beautiful, eyes full of wisdom]

...

"Ms. Funina, can you provide more direct evidence to support this accusation? Such as the modus operandi, the crime process, the evidence at the scene, etc."

Furninna looked towards Zhongli and seemed to see a circling star. She blinked and the star disappeared again.

"It seems... there is..."

"Funina?"

"have…."

"Please continue speaking."

“It’s hard to say…”

The second generation Water Dragon King's cerebellum suddenly atrophied.

"Then this trial can be concluded. In this case, the evidence provided by Ms. Funina has some validity to the charges, but lacks sufficient key evidence to support the charges."

"Therefore, Mr. Zhongli should be innocent!"

Zhongli also said a polite word at the end.

Seeing that the trial was over, Hu Tao hurriedly urged Zhong Li to distribute flyers.

"This matter can now be handed over to the Cardinal Yu Shi for the final decision. Therefore, I officially announce that Mr. Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall..."

....

Soon Zhongli arrived at Melro Petersburg

"Old friend, long time no see,"

That’s right, our Zhongli just came to see the young master.

[Hu Tao: Is that all? The next part is: Did you take Mora with you? Where did you go?]

[Young Master: Hey, hey, hey, why did you send me in again? Let me out! I want to go back to Zhidong! ]

[Funina: Tian...Tianxing, there is such a strong murderous aura, please don’t kill me]

[Zhongli: Sorry, this is not under my control]

[Wendy: Old man, how can you scare the younger generation? I have something to say to you about this.]

[Paimeng: Singing for money, you are just relying on Zhongli’s pampering to act so presumptuously.]

[Wendy: We are the only two who survived. I know him too well.]

[Ying: Since Zhongli is in Fontaine, shouldn't Villette leave Zhongli alone in the end? ]

[Paimon: Navril: God of precious gold, please stay, we need to talk.

Zhongli: My feet are on my body, it is not up to you to decide whether I stay or go.]

[Alice: Such a familiar plot]

[Hu Tao: I understand! Then it will be like this: 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west. Don’t look down on the elderly and poor.]

【Zhongli: ….】

[Ding! Next, play Nata Ignite PV - "Forging a Name with Fire"]

[Paimon: Oh! Fire God, Fire God! ]

[Kaia: Bennett! Bennett! ]

[Bennett: I've said it many times, I'm not the God of Fire! ]

[Wendy: Oh, it looks like the old lady is going to come on stage]

[Mavica: Haha, you are the old aunt, right? ]

[Keqing: Is this the God of Fire? A big sister who looks very enthusiastic]

[Bennett: Woohoo... You finally came out. I am finally cleared of all charges.]

[Navia: Little Loli of the Rock Element, where are you? ]

[Kazina: I'm not a loli, I'm just short]

[Kaeya: Looking at the portrait of the God of Fire reminds me of an old friend. Isn't this my friend? You see, both have red hair, and she must use a great sword! ]

[Ying: Fire element, activate! ]

【Ding! Play starts】

....

Nata

Some unknown place

It was a place that looked a lot like the Sydney Opera House.

"Is it almost time? It's about to begin! Watch out, Katsina will kick off the game next to promote the upcoming competition!" A white-haired girl in a bikini appeared on the big screen. Her name was Malani.

At this moment, a little girl named Katsina blocked the camera: "Take a picture, as a souvenir..."

Malani, from behind, reminded her that she was standing too close.

Katsina held the ball, stepped back quickly, and then threw the ball upward with force.

"Okay... go... you threw it too far! Aaaaaaaaa!"

...

Screen turn

A young man wearing a turban who looked like Xiao flew through the air, caught the ball accurately, and then threw it out.

"call out"

The ball hit Xitrali accurately, and she was immediately frightened: "Ahhh what the hell!"

"Tsk... I want one too? Take it, take it! Don't bother me anymore!" Then he threw the ball away.

....

A beautiful lady who was taking a lazy nap happened to catch the flying ball and murmured, "Is it this season again?

After saying that, he threw the ball down and continued to sleep in.

Ianshan, who has the same skin as Bennett, was in bad luck as the ball hit him directly on the head.

...

"The competition, is she watching?" Chaska murmured.

....

arena

Nata's administration makes a brilliant debut

A woman with fiery red hair, wearing a leather jacket and revealing white skin appeared in front of everyone.

She walked forward slowly and announced in the voice of the Canterlot royal family: "The competition is about to begin! Take your positions, dear friends, follow the noble spirit of competition, and bet everything! The battlefield is only open to the winner, and the final champion will get everything!"

...

Phoenix flies across the sky

The fire god Mavica and the captain had their backs to each other.

"Do you dare to participate in this competition?"

The captain sneered and said nothing.

....

The door slowly opens

Mavica walked slowly forward, her eyes fixed on the flames suspended in the air.

"It's time to reignite. No matter how small the spark is, it will eventually be noticed."

"You've seen it, right? What you see is supposed to be destiny. But now, close your eyes and feel it. The true destiny will be created by our blood."

【Ding! End of performance]

[Paimon: Ianshan looks like Bennett, could she be his sister? ]
