This MC is so original

Meanwhile, Funina on the stage was getting ready to continue with the next stage of her speech, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that no one was looking at her. This made her puff up her cheeks unhappily and she glared at Lu Xiu fiercely.

"I'm so tired of posing! What's so good about a furnace? Come and listen to Lady Funina's speech!"

Although she felt a lot of resentment in her heart, Finina still maintained her previous posture so that she could be ready to deal with the people of Fontaine who might turn their gazes back at her at any time.

The burly man standing in front of Lu Xiu also felt everyone's gazes. Seeing that they all looked curious, his desire to tell was aroused again.

"This story starts from my childhood..."

In a place where no one was paying attention, Funina's cheeks puffed out even more.

"Why do you have to start from your childhood? I want to hear about what happened in Liyue, not the time you wet your pants as a child!"

The burly man talked for more than ten minutes, and even Lu Xiu and Tartaglia couldn't help showing their impatience.

This guy has been talking about this since he was a kid, all the way to elementary school! How long does it take to get to Liyue?

Lu Xiu immediately raised his hand to interrupt, "I'm sorry, I don't want to listen anymore. If you want to give a speech, please go somewhere else. I'd rather listen to Ms. Funina's speech than yours."

When Lucy said this, everyone remembered that their Fontainebleau god was still there.

"Ah, I almost forgot about Lady Funina."

Everyone turned to look at where Funina was, and saw that she was facing away from them, twisting her hips to stretch her waist which was a little sore from standing for so long.

Funina was happily dancing, but she felt as if there were several pairs of eyes on her butt. She turned her head in confusion and saw that everyone was staring at her in astonishment.

Furninna hurriedly struck a pose she had planned earlier and forced herself to continue the previous topic to ease the awkwardness.

"Although I was interrupted just now, compared to Mr. Lu Xiu, who caused bloodshed in several other countries, none of this matters. For this reason, I came here to greet you personally."

"Fear is the behavior of a small person. As a god, I do not believe in such meaningless caution. You can rest assured that your piety is clear to me."

"I understand. You came to Fontaine to better witness my power and authority. Of course, that's very wise. Wise people always gather under the right banner!"

After talking to Funina, Lu Xiu felt inexplicably unhappy for some reason and nudged Tartaglia with his elbow.

"She's so crazy."

Tartaglia nodded in agreement. "She's been constantly emphasizing her status as a god, as if anyone would beat her up without her status as a god."

"Woo..."

A slight whimper reached the ears of Lu Xiu and Tartaglia. They looked up in confusion and saw that Finina on the stage had a red cheek and was biting her lower lip.

But she quickly hid this little action.

"Welcome... Welcome to the Kingdom of Water. I, Fukaros, will acknowledge your wisdom and piety. Now you may rejoice to your heart's content!"

As the words fell, the people of Fontaine who were watching gave enthusiastic cheers.

Only Lu Xiu and Tartaglia looked at each other speechlessly.

"She blushed just now, didn't she?"

"Hmm, that seems to be the reaction when someone is being exposed for being stubborn? I've seen that expression on my brother Tok's face."

Perhaps other people could not hear the conversation between Lucius and Tartaglia, but Finina, the water goddess, heard it clearly. She bit her lower lip and made a low humming sound.

After the cheers from the Fontaineland residents watching the ceremony subsided, someone loudly asked Funina, "Lady Funina, it's truly rare to see you here. I presume you've come here to have a fantastic duel with this legendary Mr. Lu Xiu you've been talking about."

'Oh, I'm not, I don't!'

"Uh, haha, of course, as you can imagine, I will have an epic duel with this legendary Mr. Lu Xiu!"

Hearing this, Tartaglia couldn't help but reveal a look of envy. "I really envy you, Mr. Lu Xiu, for being able to duel with a god. I'd be grateful if you could hold back a bit and let me observe properly. A fight that ends so quickly is really boring."

Lu Xiu also shook his head and sighed helplessly. He had not originally planned to fight in Fontaine, but he did not expect that the Water God would directly block the door and demand a duel.

The other party has been so provocative, if you don’t fight back, you would be too cowardly.

"Alright, Water God Fukaros, let's have a fight."

Chapter 295: Funina: "I'm not, I didn't!"

"what?"

Seeing that Lu Xiu was not afraid at all and even had his weapon drawn, ready to fight her at any time, Funina couldn't help but feel confused.

"Aren't you afraid? This is a showdown with a god!"

Tartaglia spoke up before Lu Xiu, saying, "Lu Xiu has fought against the Rock God of Liyue, the Thunder God of Inazuma, and the Wind God of Mondstadt. He's even slain a monster that even three gods couldn't handle. Countless demons have been defeated by him. How could he be afraid?"

"Eh?!"

Funina let out an exaggerated cry, and her legs took a step back uncontrollably. She was standing on the box and almost fell down because of this step back. Fortunately, she reacted in time and steadied herself.

Before Funina could breathe a sigh of relief, she noticed that the eyes of the people around her were gradually changing. The people of Fontaine looked at her with a very surprised expression and whispered to each other below.

"Did Lady Finina just let out an exaggerated "eh"? Could she be scared?"

"How is that possible! Lady Finina may look weak, but she is at least a god. Even if the other party is a well-known figure in the four countries, he is only a human. How could Lady Finina be afraid?"

Funina on the stage stiffly maintained her previous dignified posture. Listening to the whispers of the people below, her calves could not help but tremble. Fortunately, everyone's attention was attracted by Funina's exaggerated "eh" before, and they did not notice Funina's little action.

'Hey! That Lu Xiu across the street is a murderous devil! I'm scared! Someone, give me some way out! Woo woo woo, I really don't want to fight him!'

The people who were discussing the matter felt that what their companions said was indeed reasonable, and that there was indeed nothing to be afraid of Lady Finina, who was a god.

"Then why did Lady Funina scream so loudly just now?"

"Hey, you don't understand this, do you? Lady Finina, this is unexpected. It's unexpected that the famous guy across from us is such a boring guy who only knows how to fight."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Think about it, Lady Finina takes good care of us. If it were just a simple fight, would you like to watch it?"

The people listening to the analysis shook their heads. "Indeed, we're already tired of seeing those guys in prison shouting about defending their honor and then challenging each other to a duel. They need twists and turns to keep the fight going!"

"Yes yes yes!"

"So, Lady Finina must have felt that a simple duel was too boring, so she decided to try a different method!"

When Funina, who was trembling on the box, heard these words, she felt like she had seen a savior. Her back, which had been slightly hunched due to fear of Lu Xiu, immediately straightened up.

"That's right. How can such an epic duel between Lu Xiu and I end so hastily with a brawl? It must naturally end on the grandest stage, with the most twists and turns in the story."

Lu Xiu, who had already drawn his magic sword, looked at Finina in surprise, then turned to Tartaglia and whispered, "Is she scared?"

"It seems so."

Compared to the cheers of the people of Fontaine, Tartaglia seemed particularly disappointed. He preferred to see the fight between Lu Xiu and the gods rather than those dramas. This kind of opportunity only comes once in a century and cannot be compared with any drama with twists and turns in the story.

"Who, who said I was scared!"

When Funina heard the conversation between Lucius and Tartaglia, she couldn't help but raise her voice a few degrees, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she immediately covered her mouth and looked at the onlookers in Fontaine with a panic face.

The crowd also looked at Fernina in surprise. It was the first time they saw Lady Fernina behave so out of control.

"Ahem, let me, as the God of Justice, have an epic showdown in court with Mr. Lu Xiu, whose reputation resounds throughout the four countries!"

"Court?" ×2

Lu Xiu looked at Tartaglia in confusion and asked, "Why is it a court?"

Tartaglia shook his head: "I just came to Fontaine not long ago, I don't know."

Lu Xiu turned around and glared at Funina unhappily: "Hey, Water God, you don't think I'm guilty and want to judge me, do you?"

At this moment, Lu Xiu couldn't help but wonder if Funina was really being instructed by the will of heaven to deliberately make things difficult for him.

"Humph!"

Having dragged Lu Xiu into the field she was good at, Funina seemed particularly confident at this moment.

"Hehe, I don't have any grounds to judge you now. However, with the Cardinal's decree, even your past crimes will be exposed!"

"Instruct the Cardinal?"

Lu Xiu had some impression of this. Nashida once told him that Fontaine had such a magical machine responsible for trial. He didn't expect that it could even uncover the past crimes of others. This was quite magical.

"However, any drama needs a stage to live up to this epic showdown. The God of Justice will not slander the innocent. When you, Mr. Lu Xiu, truly commit a crime, we will face off in court. Okay, that's all for today. I look forward to seeing you next time."

After saying this, Funina left in a hurry. Looking at her back, she seemed a little embarrassed.

As soon as Funina left, the people of Fontaine who had been watching also dispersed.

This left Lu Xiu and Tartaglia confused.

"Why did you leave? It started well but ended badly. I thought there was going to be something good to watch."

Tartaglia shook his head and sighed in disappointment, and Lu Xiu also covered his face and sighed.

"Isn't that good? At least you two aren't involved in any troublesome trials. Although the line between the Fontaine trial and drama is very vague, it is still a trial after all, and it's no joke."

Linnie also came over and spoke to comfort the two of them, then took out two tickets from his pocket and handed them to Lu Xiu and Tartaglia.

"By the way, I'm going to be performing a magic show at the opera house soon. If you don't mind, could you come and watch? I'm really looking forward to seeing you."

"A magic show?"

Lu Xiu took the ticket, looked at it for a few seconds, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go and see it."

Lu Xiu had never seen many magic shows, so since he had the opportunity to watch one up close, he naturally wanted to go.

Tartaglia seemed a little uninterested, but still took the ticket.

"Yeah, I'll go if I have time."

"Then I look forward to your arrival."

After Linny gave away the tickets, he left with the girls and Linnet.

Tartaglia collected the ticket and asked Lu Xiu, "Where are you going next, Mr. Lu Xiu?"

"Well, anyway, let's go see the Seven Heavens Statue of the Water God first."

Chapter 296: New System Tasks

Lu Xiu and Tartaglia randomly found a local in Fontaine and asked where the nearest Seven Days Statue was. The local was very enthusiastic and told them the location without any resentment because of their previous "conflict" with the water goddess Funina.

On the contrary, the passerby who was questioned by Lu Xiu even encouraged Lu Xiu excitedly.

"Mr. Lu Xiu, I believe you will perform well in the duel with Lady Finina!"

This kind of inexplicable encouragement made Lu Xiu feel a little uncomfortable. He just nodded awkwardly, then hurried to the location of the Seven Days Statue with Tartaglia.

On the way in the elevator, Lu Xiu couldn't help but complain: "Why do these Fontaine people feel weird? They look a bit like Lezi people."

"really."

"Isn't there a rumor in Fontaine that the Fontaine people will eventually be dissolved by water? Why do they seem to have no sense of urgency at all?"

"Huh? Mr. Lu Xiu, you knew about this rumor?"

Tartaglia looked at Lu Xiu with some surprise. In his impression, Lu Xiu was not the kind of person who cared about the survival crisis of other countries.

"I've heard a little about it. If the source who told me this prophecy wasn't very reliable, I would have thought it was fake when I met these locals in Fontaine."

"Perhaps they don't believe it. After all, how could a person be dissolved by water?"

Neither Tartaglia nor Lu Xiu believed this prophecy in their hearts unless they saw it with their own eyes.

While the two were chatting, they came to the statue of the Seven Gods on the second floor. The statue of the Seven Gods here was not built in the wild like in other countries, but was placed directly on the open-air balcony outside the cruise ship station.

Lu Xiu walked over and couldn't wait to touch it. In an instant, the entire Seven Days Statue suddenly lit up, and even a large amount of water elements gushed out of the statue, as if the Seven Days Statue was leaking.

But Lu Xiu's mind at this moment was focused on the prompt that popped up in the system.
