Genshin Impact, but the chat group

366. Heading to Fontainebleau

The Geo Archon's visit to Fontaine is a major event for both Liyue and Fontaine.

After Liyue issued the notification, Fontaine also received it, and upon receiving the notification, Fontaine immediately prepared to receive them with the highest level of etiquette.

When the gods of Liyue arrive, the gods of Fontaine naturally have to come out to receive them, since they are all on equal footing, and apart from the water god, no one else is qualified to receive a god.

The water god himself will be there to receive you; the scene will be quite lively.

However, this did alleviate some of Funinga's anxiety, because at least she knew when Li Yue would arrive. But what followed was the tension of facing three true gods. Would her identity be exposed? And what would they do if they were?

But no matter what, she has to face Li Yue; it's unavoidable.

While Fulyna was mentally preparing herself to face Li Yue, a group of people gathered on Li Yue's side and arrived at Shenyu Valley from Liyue Harbor.

The area bordering Liyue and Fontaine is the Sinking Jade Valley in the northwest. This area was once the territory of several immortals, such as Gan Yu's second uncle and Koi.

However, the koi fish hasn't woken up yet, and Gan Yu's second uncle is secretly planning to stir up trouble to wake the koi fish up.

However, it didn't affect Li Yue and the others passing by. Although Gan Yu's second uncle was very strong, he was still a bit outmatched by the three gods.

Starting from Liyue Harbor, go directly to Mt. Aozang where Liuyun is located. Then, enter the Shenyu Valley area from Mt. Aozang. Take a boat from the dock south of Qiaoying Village, pass Baojue Pass, and arrive at Yilongbu, which is the port town in Shenyu Valley facing Fontaine. Unlike Liyue, although the buildings are all in the Liyue style, all the buildings here are closer to the Hui-style architecture in reality. Especially with the watery environment of Shenyu Valley, it gives people a feeling of the Jiangnan water town.

"The scenery here is amazing, Li Yue. Thank you for inviting us to come along. This scenery is much better than the Xumi Desert."

On the dock, Paimon floated in mid-air, smiling as she spoke to Li Yue, waving her little hands excitedly. Beside her, Ying nodded with her hands on her hips in strong agreement, indicating that Paimon's words were indeed true.

"Do you know that we've been in the Sumeru Desert for many days without a decent night's sleep or a decent meal?"

"There's no way to survive in the desert. Those places are not suitable for humans to live in for a long time. Even if you could survive, it would be in an oasis. Otherwise, life would be extremely difficult, or even in an oasis, life would be very tough."

After all, the water resources of the oasis are limited, and Naxida, now the grass god of Sumeru, naturally knows about this.

"Ying and Paimon, thank you for your hard work."

"It's alright. We went to the desert on a commission anyway, and we also learned about the ancient stories of Sumeru in the desert, which was a pretty good experience."

"Most importantly, we received very good compensation, a lot of Mora, so our hard work was worth it."

After Paimon finished speaking, she proudly put her hands on her hips, while Ying, standing next to her, crossed her arms and looked at Paimon with disdain.

Clearly, what the master meant was that she was the one who did all the hard work, so why was Paimon being so proud?

As Paimon said, after Nasita ascended to the position of the Grass God of Sumeru, the entire Sumeru was quickly unified by Nasita, and the tribes in the desert were the same. Li Yue built a huge Void Palace in the desert, which became a city in the desert. Correspondingly, it was also brought under Nasita's management, since they could not fight against a hundred-meter-tall wooden man who could directly demolish the Void Palace.

After the war ended, peace was restored to Sumeru. Ying also resigned from her job as Dina Zede's bodyguard and started taking orders at the Adventurers' Guild. She then received a commission to go to the desert and followed an archaeological team into the Red King's Tomb. She then went through the entire Desert Book and learned about the history of the Red King and the Great Tree King.

After spending so many days in the desert, Paimon and Ying were both fed up with it. The environment there was really terrible; it was unbearably hot during the day and freezing cold at night. You had to eat sand the whole time you opened your mouth, making it unsuitable for human habitation.

Upon returning to Sumeru, they received an invitation from Narcida, or more precisely, an invitation from Li Yue through Narcida, inviting them to travel to Fontaine together. Li Yue was a good friend of theirs, and Ying was also preparing to go to Fontaine, so they returned to Liyue together and set off together.

"I wonder what Fontaine is like, and if there's anything good to eat there."

Now that they are about to set off for Fontainebleau, Paimon begins to fantasize about what delicious things he might find there.

“There must be delicious food in Fontaine, and it’s definitely something you’ve never eaten before.”

Li Yue answered with a smile.

"Then Li Yue, you must treat us to something delicious when the time comes!"

"no problem!"

Li Yue naturally agreed to Paimon's request.

"Yay, we get to eat a big meal again!"

Paimon stomped his feet in the air with delight, while Ying looked at him with disdain once again. "You idiot, all you know is eating. You can eat more than a wild boar."

"Speaking of Li Yue, can Fontaine be like it was before?"

After confirming that Li Yue would be treating everyone to dinner, Paimon turned his attention elsewhere.

"Paimon, which version are you referring to?"

"Just like when we were in Liyue and Sumeru, we'll be treated well!"

In Liyue, thanks to Li Yue's words of respect for her brother, Luminous and Paimon received excellent treatment, with everyone willing to give them face. The same was true in Sumeru. Later, as Narcida regained her position as the Grass Goddess of Sumeru, Luminous and Paimon also received certain preferential treatment, as instructed by Narcida. Moreover, the Thousand Rock Army was stationed in Sumeru, and they all knew Luminous and Paimon. So, whether in Liyue or Sumeru, as long as they weren't in the wild, the two of them lived quite well.

Paimon gradually grew to like this feeling, and when she arrived in Fontainebleau, she hoped to have the same treatment, that is, good treatment and a good life.

"That depends on whether the water god of Fontaine is willing to give me this face."

Li Yue answered with a smile.

"Li Yue, you're so amazing, the Water God of Fontainebleau will definitely give you face!"

Paimon crossed his arms, looking quite certain.

"Since you've said that, then I'll take your good wishes."

While Paimon was chatting, the ship was ready, and Gan Yu, who was accompanying him on this trip to Fontainebleau, came to inform him.

"Lord Rock King, the ship is ready, we can set sail now."

"Okay, let's set off."

367. Furina's Welcoming Ceremony

The journey by boat from Yilong Port to Fontaine doesn't take long. Although Fontaine is known as the Land of Water, it is actually located in a relatively central part of Teyvat, making it a landlocked country.

However, aside from this international trouble, this country has the most water of all countries, and its altitude is also the highest among all countries.

The extremely high average elevation is as if someone dug Fontaine's land out of Teyvat and then raised it up by a huge margin.

The elevation of Fontainebleau as a whole means that from the perspective of other countries, Fontainebleau is a plateau country, as Li Yue mentioned before. This results in what people see when they travel to Fontainebleau from the outside: an incredibly large waterfall that cascades down from above the city, creating a spectacular sight.

This magnificent waterfall forms the entire border of Fontainebleau; the entire border of Fontainebleau is essentially a giant waterfall.

However, few people know that this seemingly spectacular waterfall actually poses a huge threat to the entire Teyvat region.

The flood that submerged Fontaine, once it spread to the surrounding areas, would also cause harm to other countries.

Liu Yue brought Thor and Grass God with her this time, as well as her friends Ying and Paimon, and then Gan Yu as her secretary.

Apart from that, everyone else stayed in Liyue. Zhongli and Ruoduo were both in Liyue and did not leave. Ruoduo, in particular, might cause some unnecessary misunderstandings if he appeared in Fontaine, although it was already easy for people to misunderstand that the Geo Archon had brought the Thunder God and the Grass God to find the Water God.

The ship departed from Yilong Port. Because the real world is much larger than the map in the game, when we set off, we could only see a white line on the water in the distance. Only when we got closer could we see that the so-called white line was a huge waterfall, and in the center of this huge waterfall was a huge port.

That is, the port of Fontainebleau.

Softlight Harbor is a port located southeast of Fontaine. It serves as Fontaine's gateway to Liyue, and Fontaine's merchants typically depart from Softlight Harbor when traveling to Liyue.

However, Li Yue would not sail directly to Ruo Deng Port, but would disembark at the pier below Ruo Deng Port, where many Fontaines were already waiting.

Wow, there are so many people!

Paimon stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the large number of people on the dock, and his mouth dropped open in surprise.

"Because our visit to Fontainebleau is an official one, the authorities there are aware of it. Since they are aware of it, they will definitely need to come and welcome us, especially since we are here as gods."

"I see!"

Paimon understood Li Yue's explanation immediately.

"Li Yue, you are the Rock King, which means, according to what you said, that means a god is coming to receive you?"

“That’s right. If the Water God doesn’t come to receive us personally, it’s disrespectful to Liyue, not just Liyue, but to Inazuma and Sumeru. To put it bluntly, I could even launch a war against Fontaine.”

"Wow! Does this mean we're going to have a war?"

The word "war" terrified Paimon, because she had just witnessed a war of the gods in Sumeru.

"That depends on what the water god chooses."

"The water god should come to receive you, since you have three gods. I don't think the water god would want to upset you."

"Maybe."

The boat docked, and Gan Yu came over to greet them.

"Lord Rock King, we can go down now."

"it is good."

Gan Yu went first, disembarked, and then led the Thousand Rock Army to form a battle formation below to prevent anyone from coming. When the Fontaine people on the dock saw the Thousand Rock Army coming down, they immediately retreated and made way for some space, especially the main road on the dock, which was completely cleared.

After the Thousand Rock Army was ready, Li Yue took the lead in disembarking, with Ying and Naxida following behind him. The three of them disembarked in a formation with Li Yue walking in front and Ying and Naxida walking side by side behind him. After disembarking, they went directly to the main road of the dock.

Ying and Paimon followed behind the three of them.

"Is that the Rock King?"

"What a young god! Are those the Thunder God and the Grass God behind him?"

"I heard that the Grass God looks like a child, so it must be the Grass God."

After disembarking, Li Yue did not move forward but stood in the middle of the main road with her arms crossed, waiting for Fontaine's reaction.

Sure enough, Fontaine made a move immediately after Li Yue disembarked.

A group of guards dressed in blue emerged from the dock and, like Qianyan Army, split into two teams and went to the roadside to separate the crowd, clearing the main road.

"It's Lady Funina! Lady Funina is coming!"

Amidst the cheers of the Fontaines, Claudia stepped forward first and stood beside the guards. After Claudia appeared, a much smaller blue figure appeared next to her.

She put her hands on her hips and raised her chin.

“Rich or poor, people with cups or with nothing, raise your cups! And those who have nothing, raise your arms!”

The people of Fontainebleau immediately raised their hands and cheered.

"Lady Funina!"

Funina nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Li Yue with a beaming smile.

"As you can see, gods from a foreign land have come to my kingdom. Come, let them feel the warmth of Fontaine, let us offer them our blessings, and pay homage to the gods who have traveled from afar!"

The people of Fontaine immediately responded to Funina's call, clapping and looking at Li Yue and the others.

Li Yue didn't make any move; she just stood there with her arms crossed, looking at Funina.

Unlike when she originally received the master, when Funina originally stood on high and constantly emphasized her status and position.

This time, although she still emphasized her identity and status, she did not stand on a high place, but stood on the main road like Li Yue.

"Gods from other lands, I have long heard that you wish to visit my kingdom, and I have prepared this welcoming ceremony for you."
