Genshin Impact: Rise of the Desert

The clockwork mechanism in Fontaine, with its gilded finish, is quite formidable. Those with strong bloodlines can even take on more than a dozen opponents, such as Ivan and the River.

Another one, the crocodile from South Carolina, was kicked to pieces by the Abyss Apostle, and its soul was also damaged. It was taken away by Sirhind for research and treatment. The rest were all skilled ordinary people, and it was really difficult for them to fight these machines.

Seeing that this wouldn't work, Navia took out a decorative umbrella from the Eye of God space and shook it.

In an instant, the decorative umbrella transformed into a large axe, much like Esen's long-handled battle axe.

The robot was made entirely of iron; the only way to defeat it was to puncture the glowing parts. Navia, on the other hand, had it much easier. The possessor of the Eye of God, nurtured for many years in elements of poison and weaponry in the eyes of ordinary people, possessed immeasurable strength. With a single chop of her axe, the clockwork mechanism's head flew off.

Ivan and Hezhong had it a bit easier than Navia; they simply used Black Tiger's Heart-Piercing Technique to remove the gear from the core of the clockwork mechanism's chest.

As for Funina... she was hiding near a cargo box, her ahoge (cowlick) trembling with fear.

Just then, a round hand from Melusin grabbed Funina's arm: "Water Goddess, this way."

With fear in her eyes, Funina hurriedly followed Melusin away.

"I need to get people to help them, yes, go get people!"

There were only about twenty of these clockwork mechanisms in total, and they were all dismantled in no time.

Having fought three major battles in succession, He Zhong was so exhausted that he lay on the ground, unwilling to get up, his body covered in bloodstains from the clockwork mechanism.

Holding the arm with a wind-up mechanism as a pillow under his head, he said, "Where's the Water God? He's our sugar daddy. If we lose our supplies, we're doomed."

Ivan held the clockwork head in his hand like he was kneading clay: "Don't worry, I saw Funina leave with a Melusin, she's not in any immediate danger."

After smashing so many tin cans in one go, Ivan was a bit exhausted. He threw down the mangled wind-up mechanical head, rested his head on the broken body of the wind-up mechanical head, and closed his eyes to rest.

The others silently tended to their wounds, tearing their precious clothes into strips in an attempt to cover them up.

Oulu frowned, holding the strip of cloth that had been smelling of perfume but now reeked of stench in his hand. If this were used to bandage the wound, amputation would be the least of his worries.

Just then, a woman's voice rang out beside her: "Use my gauze, come on, let me bandage you."

Oulu's face turned bright red instantly, and he stammered, "Ahhh... Ahhhh..."

The girl's laughter, like silver bells, healed Oulu's mind and body, and at the same time, it healed others.

Because Ivan and his crew were injured after destroying the out-of-control wind-up mechanism, nearby residents who were still at home took out their own medical kits, medical alcohol, and gauze to bandage their injuries.

at this time!

"Ivan! Ivan, I'm here!" Furnessa rushed to Ivan's side, and seeing that Ivan's eyes were closed, her heart sank. "Are you alright? Don't die!"

His voice was already trembling with sobs.

Ivan quickly sat up and put his index finger to his lips: "Shh—"

What would happen if others heard Funina crying?

How can God weep?

The reinforcements brought by Fu Ningna were the Special Patrol Team, whose commander-in-chief was Xia Worei.

Wearing a top hat, Chavoret moved her lips a few times, and after a series of internal struggles, she finally spoke: "Mr. Ivan Rurik, you have been sued by Mr. Marcellus, and the court hearing is scheduled for... tomorrow at noon."

Navia, who had been silently panting to the side, couldn't sit still any longer. She had been firing at the Muscovites and shielding them, and now she lay up like a dead dog, panting with her tongue lolling out.

If it weren't for this woman, Ivan's team would have been wiped out by at least half!

Navia rushed to Xia Worei's side: "What did you say? Marcellus! That wretched guy!"

Funina was also furious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Huh? Besides, the person going to court tomorrow is the one suspected of poisoning the water. Who changed my travel dates?"

A glint of light flashed in Xia Wore's eyes: "It seems that Marcellus has quite the resources, even managing to bribe people around the Water God... By the way, Mr. Rurik, the drug addict you brought me has yielded quite a few good things."

"That's good enough. The special patrol team can handle this mess themselves." Ivan stood up and patted his butt. "Lord Water God, it's almost lunchtime. Aren't you going to treat me to something good?"

"Huh? Ah! No, you have to come to the hospital with me to get your injury checked first!" Funina made a "Dame" gesture.

Upon hearing the word "food," the group of starving ghosts from the Moscow tribe couldn't help but start commotion.

"The best medicine is a good meal, then a beautiful woman to warm the bed, and the wound will be healed by tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, for the people of the Crimson King, food is the best medicine, and fine wine is the best bandage."

"The Grass God is dead! The Water God shall rise! The year is Jiazi! Great fortune will come to the world!"

That being said, four people were still taken to the hospital by the special patrol team because of broken bones, while the others, with bandages on their bodies, went to the banquet with Funina.

The crime scene was left to the special patrol team working overtime. Ivan and the others packed up and left. Olu waved goodbye to the woman who had bandaged him, only to be teased by his brothers.

They didn't go to any nice places. After a day of running around, it was already evening. Fortunately, there were still quite a few stalls on the street that Ivan and the others were walking on.

The further you go, the more there is.

Moreover, food inspections in Fontaine, at least in the Upper City area, are very strict; if hygiene standards aren't met, you can't set up a stall.

The Muscovites set their sights on the stalls in twos and threes, while Fulina took a little bit from each stall, ate a couple of bites, and then tossed the food to Ivan.

Ivan was initially disgusted by the saliva on the food, but his mind changed when he remembered how powerful the Holy Beast had become after feeding on the Red King's corpse.

"Even if Funinna is weak, she's still a god. Her saliva will definitely enhance my strength!"

With these thoughts in mind, Ivan accepted everything offered by Funina and ate it all.

Moreover, Funina didn't give money, she gave checks.

Write the amount spent on the check, along with the stall owner's name and Funina's name.

In this way, the money cannot be withdrawn.

why?

This is Lady Funina's handwriting, and it includes my name! My name and Lady Funina's name are on the same piece of paper!

We can't sell them, we can't sell a single one!

Until Ivan and the River spotted a stall run by a Mondstadtman that sold stacks of tall pies.

Heap is a Mondstadt home-style dish made by stacking roasted patties, potatoes, and cheese; in short, it's a giant.

Moreover, it's not limited to the three types mentioned above; there are also local specialties like fish from Fontainebleau, which you can usually choose yourself and have the chef grill.

Ivan was different; he told the cook to hurry up and put it together however he wanted.

The chef skillfully sliced ​​the roasted ribs and added cheese. He sliced ​​the onions and added cheese. He sliced ​​the garlic and added cheese. He sliced ​​the fish and added cheese.

Repeat the above steps until the pile is half a meter high, then put it in the oven to bake, and finally place it on a plate and serve it to Ivan.

Then, He Zhong followed Ivan and ate there for two hours. Fu Ningna sat on the stall owner's wine barrel, tasting the stall owner's homemade dandelion wine to aid digestion, and chatting with Ivan.

What does it mean to eat for two hours?

The chef would make a dish and the two of them would eat it all. The chef was almost exhausted before they patted their bellies, each carrying a bucket of dandelion wine, and left amidst the astonished expressions of the onlookers.
