"...We must advance whenever we encounter an enemy and be invincible?"
Paimon pondered the meaning of these Liyue idioms and couldn't help but repeat them.
"It means that under the blessing of fate, Munata will always be victorious."
Famas shook his head helplessly and explained in detail to the idiot little Paimon and the confused travelers who pretended to understand:
"During the Demon God War, I led an army to conquer the continent of Teyvat. At that time, I had just obtained the status of Demon God, and my strength was far inferior to what it is now. On the way to the battle, I quickly encountered a Demon God with sophisticated weapons and equipment and strong military strength.
The heroic city "Zersheste" under the command of "Spernak"."
"Jershist is the only way for the volcanic tribes to reach the outside world. In order to fight for the right of way, Munata must conquer this city."
"At that time, Munata had completed the preliminary agricultural and industrial revolutions. We had enough food and people to defeat the enemy even if we were delayed."
"The whole army was prepared for a protracted war, but at midnight on the second day of the siege, the enemy's granary suddenly caught fire. Measured in Liyue units, tens of thousands of stones of wheat seeds, rice, and corn were burned.
Almost exhausted.”
"The fire burned for a full three hours, and roars and mutinies broke out in the city at the same time. When everything settled, the horned demon god "Spenak" who had lost his faith was escorted out of the city as a proof of surrender. Commander Munata
"Singh" cut off the demon's head, and at the same time announced the official start of the "War on Right of Road" that has lasted for two hundred years."
Famas explained the connection with destiny in a few words, but the traveler and Paimon suddenly remembered that the story Famas told seemed to have been mentioned by Zhongli.
The captain "Singh" beheaded the Demon God of Horns and was promoted to the leader of Munata. Later, under the instruction of Famas, he seduced the King of Salt and Earth People and let him assassinate the Demon God He believed in.
Leah.
Hey, the stories seem to be connected.
But is there really such a coincidence?
The traveler looked at the slightly raised corners of Famas's mouth, and then at Zhongli, who looked indifferent, and was unsure whether the two were telling the same period of history intentionally or unintentionally.
Ever since they learned about the conspiracy Zhongli and Famas used against Heulia during the Demon God War, the travelers' vigilance towards the gods has skyrocketed. Although not all grass and trees are at war, the girl has begun to seriously speculate on Zhongli, Wendy, and
Famas’ daily words and deeds.
The two instigators obviously didn't know that their mutual exposure also changed travelers' perception of gods.
This saves Dainsreb a lot of trouble when he meets the traveler in the future. I think when he meets the traveler again, Dainsreb will not be able to help but sigh:
"A very good god! Make my court of Khenria spin wildly. Love comes from the Sword of Endlight."
However, the description of destiny is not over yet. After the historical stories, Famas also told many stories about the manifestation of destiny.
"In addition, the demon gods I fought against would also make mistakes due to unknown reasons, such as the weapon suddenly breaking during the battle, or the elemental power being mobilized incorrectly. Even after the alchemical weapons developed greatly in Munata's later period, the same weapon
In the hands of the Munata soldiers, the flaming blunderbuss is like an arm and can be directed to hit wherever it is directed, but when it falls into the hands of the enemy, it is full of duds and cannot fire no matter how hard the trigger is pulled."
"The most bizarre thing is the "Battle of Destiny". That time Reindot and I made a siege plan overnight. Before the order was issued and executed, twelve destiny stars fell from the sky at dawn the next day, directly destroying the city.
The city and the demon inside were smashed to pieces, and when I arrived with my troops, all I saw were charred bones and broken walls on the ground."
"When I arrived, the demon had not yet disintegrated. Before she died, she looked at me with hatred and cursed Munata and all the creatures present."
"She said that an ambitious country will inevitably fall into endless internal strife. The fate she encountered today will definitely happen to the country I rule."
"I didn't take it seriously at the time, and even thought it was a bit baffling, but now it seems that her curse is quite effective. Munata's conspiracy, betrayal and struggle for power in the late period are indeed constantly being staged, and the country of war did eventually die in a certain way.
A star cast down by the God of Contract."
Famas rubbed his chin and thought, seeming to be very interested in the curse of the demon god. Then he innocently spread his hands and expressed to the travelers who were listening to the story:
"Look, is the goddess of fate equally ruthless, and only smiles at those she favors... Granaries that can feed tens of thousands of people for a whole year, and cities where hundreds of thousands of people live... are nothing in her eyes."
"The most important thing is that the "Battle of Destiny" was classified as a massacre and went down in history. In the end, I have to bear the blame."
Famas brushed off his notoriety for massacring the city. Traveler and Paimon tilted their heads in thought. Wendy sighed slightly and then played the piano. The melody was melodious and soothing. Only Zhongli, who understood Famas' nature, was still that kind.
A calm look.
As the God of Contract and the last mourner of the ancient war kingdom, how could Zhongli not know that Famas concealed a lot of information related to fate and mixed lies with subjective assumptions, just like what he did yesterday.
But the retired emperor obviously has no intention of exposing the truth again, and there is no need to repeat the meaningless dispute.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, please allow me to ask..."
"The best bard in the world, Your Excellency Wendy, why did you come to Liyue?"
Zhongli frowned slightly and stared at the bard who had been out of shape all day.
Famas thought that Wendy smelled like the fresh aroma of apples in the morning, but Zhongli only thought that it was the smell of alcohol that had not dissipated after the other party's hangover.
As the oldest of the seven existing gods, Zhongli has spent too long, long enough for the demon god to learn human emotions and completely abandon those unnecessary emotions.
After the flames of the Demon God War were extinguished, the last seven Demon Gods each ascended to the throne of God, thus ending the era of the Demon God War. Although they have very different personalities and are thousands of miles apart, they all shoulder the sacred responsibility of "guiding mankind."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Times have changed, and the seven gods have changed many times. To this day, among the original seven gods, only two are still in power.
It was him and the free and happy wind god, Barbatos.
Two thousand years ago, Barbatos came to Liyue without any advance notice, perhaps out of guilt for the death of Harpas, or perhaps out of trust in his colleagues. Zhongli's first reaction was Wen.
Dee is having trouble fulfilling her duties and needs her own help.
So before Barbatos fell from the wind, he was already ready to welcome the neighboring god. As soon as he opened his mouth, he would do his best to help him.
However, the God of Wind handed him a bottle of wine and warmly invited Zhongli to taste it.
"It's ridiculous to abandon your responsibilities just to deliver a bottle of wine."
This was the first thought that came to Zhongli's mind. However, after seeing the clear and warm invitation in Barbatos' eyes, Zhongli silently took the bottle and drank it down.
High in the sky, the intimate relationship between Harpas and Barbatos is not a secret, but the Seven Gods tacitly chose to turn a blind eye to each other.
So when Morax went to Munata to kill the tyrant and learned the truth about the demon war, Zhongli, who was late to human emotions, remembered the relationship between Barbatos and Harpas, so he always paid attention to Mondstadt and the world.
Barbatos, the god of wind, has dual emotions of wariness and guilt.
This is like killing someone's husband. Can he still expect the widow of the other person's family to look good on him?
But even so, Barbatos still kept coming to visit, wandering around Liyue Port, and always asking all kinds of strange questions to the God of Rock. The curiosity of this God of Wind was as endless as the wine in his hand.
Since then, the seven gods of that era would often gather together in Liyue. They drank and had fun and talked about almost anything, but they all made a tacit agreement not to mention any past events related to the "Rebel God" Harpas.
It seems that as long as you don't mention it, you can avoid sadness.
