Chapter 268: Don’t get close, it will lead to misfortune
"The Demon God War was extremely cruel. The war that ended two thousand years ago is something that no one alive is willing to mention. At that time, all living beings were devastated and countless blood was shed. The seven victors who won the decisive battle established a kingdom on the remains of the losers.
and city-states, and this is the story behind the seven rulers in the world."
"However, even gods do not die, but they can live for a long time. Gods may die in accidents. Even the seven mortal rulers have changed in the past two thousand years."
While listening to Famas's explanation, Hutao looked at the surrounding environment curiously.
She has begun to accept the fact that the boy in red beside her is the former Fire God of Munata.
From Hu Tao's point of view, Liyue and Munata did have a period of struggle, but these happened thousands of years ago. It was so long that even the Hall of Rebirth had not been established. The residents of Liyue at that time were still called Guiliji.
Ancestors.
According to records, at the end of the Demon God War, Munata was also beaten to death by Lord Yan, which was regarded as revenge.
The grudges that occurred thousands of years ago, and who owed whom, cannot be explained clearly.
At this moment, Hutao's attitude toward Famas was more of curiosity and excitement.
Just because Hall Master Hu didn't know that Mr. Zhongli was the Rock King respected by everyone in Liyue, he simply thought that Famas asked her to keep it a secret because he didn't want to ruin the friendship with Zhongli.
After all, according to Mr. Zhongli's academic and rigorous character, after learning Famas's true identity, he might sever their friendship.
"Don't worry, don't worry, this hall master knows that you and Zhongli are good friends and won't talk nonsense!"
Hu Tao thought he had deduced the reason why Famas concealed the truth, and proudly crossed his hands, put his back behind his back, and kicked up the small stones at his feet.
Famas was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Hutao had misunderstood what he meant, and he didn't say anything to point it out, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, we can't directly confront Zhongli now."
The boy in red raised his head and looked at Munata leader Vikas who had woken up from his hazy state.
He walked in front of the suspension bridge and took Famas and Walnut to the "Fire Burning Place".
After crossing the suspension bridge, the road becomes very rugged, then leads to a plain covered with wild grass, and finally to a stone building with a rather rugged style of Munata.
Faded blue and white houses, white decorations, a few handmade signs paved with bricks and cement, a town square, a big red barn, and a brown-red church at the top.
Although it was a place where the dead stayed, Famas did not feel any coldness. Bright and soft light filled the entire space, and the dilapidated buildings were cast in a warm halo, as if there was a sun that existed independently here.
at.
"They are all here..."
Vikas straightened his attire, his thin face full of smile, and his blood-colored pupils flashed with a nostalgic light.
The three of them stepped into the church at the highest point in the center of the town. A little light shone through the stained glass windows. The room was in clutter, with turbid air mixed with dust and a smell of decay.
Hu Tao stepped forward and carefully brushed the mahogany podium with his fingers, leaving two thick fingerprints, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.
In other words, no living person has been here for a long time.
Famas had no interest in the old things randomly discarded on the ground. On the contrary, Hutao marveled at them next to him. After sighing at the value of ancient cultural relics, the three of them stepped into the hall behind the church where the statues were displayed.
The statue of Famas holding a spear and leaping horse stands solemnly in the center of the church, flanked by sculptures of Munata heroes who died in the war between demons and gods.
"The undefeated God of Fire."
The inscription under the base of the statue is engraved like this.
The steps of the boy in red suddenly stopped.
"I want to stay here for a while."
Famas's eyes were dim and he looked up at the broken statue covered with dust. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Hutao followed the young man step by step. Vikas saluted Famas and then floated out of the church.
"Hey...Famas, don't be sad."
Hutao, who was familiar with Famas, lost the respect he had before. After seeing the mood of the boy in red, he looked around for a while, then folded his arms and spoke.
"Yin and Yang are orderly, life and death have destiny, everything in the world must pay attention to cause and effect."
"The reason why Munata sent troops to invade Liyue was because the emperor destroyed Munata, which was the result."
"The cycle of cause and effect leads to the development of all things..."
Hutao stretched out her voice and used her crooked tricks to persuade the silent Famas, not caring whether what she said would irritate the young man in red in front of her.
After chatting like this for a few minutes, when Famas didn't respond, Hutao, who was thirsty, looked at the black ladder-like pipe next to the statue, stretched out his arms and jumped, turned around and sat on it, swaying lazily out of boredom.
feet, and patted the metal pipe under my butt.
Famas, who noticed Walnut's movements, turned his head and looked at the girl who was tapping on the pipe with surprised eyes.
"Don't knock this pipe..."
Just as Famas raised his hand to dissuade him, the black pipe under Walnut's butt began to heat up. With a rumbling sound, part of the dust on the pipe shook off, and sand and rocks flew, as if something huge had awakened from the earth.
Hutao jumped to the ground quickly, trying to hide behind Famas, but happened to face the entrance of the dark pipe above his head.
It is better to say that the mouth of the gun barrel is more suitable.
Hu Tao's plum blossom pupils blinked, and she looked at the machine in front of her in puzzlement.
The pitch-black exterior has no aesthetic appeal, and the huge boiler and transmission rod are also ridiculously large. The cold edges and thick shell give people a sense of oppression. Even if it is dilapidated, it just sits there quietly.
, it can also make people feel a chilling atmosphere, and their breathing becomes heavier unconsciously.
Especially the main gun barrel that can fire cannonballs by relying only on elemental reaction. Although it has been bent by the erosion of time, you can still imagine the scene when it once dominated the battlefield.
This giant steam locomotive was originally a war machine that ran on land, but researchers in Canria later transformed it into a transportation and drilling equipment.
Before the people of Liyue invented the ultimate machine, Kanria had already begun to use this large-scale war equipment.
In order to better transport ores and raw materials, the row of rotating gun barrels originally loaded on the flanks of the locomotive in front of them were removed, leaving only the main gun barrel aimed at Walnut.
This is a steam locomotive from the most powerful period of Canrea. At that time, Canrea had teamed up with Munata to clear away all the demons and other hidden dangers around it, and began to expand its army and develop technology.
And Hutao just sat on the position where the gun barrel was originally without noticing, and kept shaking his body, so that he woke up the control facility of the steam locomotive that had stopped running.
"What will happen if you knock it...?"
Hu Tao felt that the barrel of the gun aimed at his face was gradually heating up, as if a hot flame was about to burst out of the barrel.
"It will become unfortunate."
Famas shook his head helplessly, took the walnut in his hand, took the Humo Staff from the girl's hand, the fire light rose, and slashed out in the direction of the boiler of the large locomotive.
