Chapter 106 The letter slipped through the door
After learning the cruel reality from Gu Chen, Funina felt a little depressed:
“I…I can’t understand.
For their plan, would Solstice protect the Doctor? Even though the Doctor had committed so many sins?
What are they doing this for?"
After thinking about it, Gu Chen comforted Funina like this:
"Funina, you have lived for nearly five hundred years, witnessed many joys and sorrows, and experienced one trial after another.
I'm sure you've seen many similar things.
Someone, or some people, are willing to sacrifice their lives at any cost for certain beliefs and goals.
Such a person can face death calmly in the duel and defend his honor.
You can also keep your mouth shut in court and never regret it.
Even if he was in the dock at the Opicolai Opera House, even if he faced Villette's trial, even if he faced the result of the cardinal's decree, even if he spent his whole life in the dark and gloomy Melo Petersburg.
They still haven’t changed their minds.”
When Fu Nina heard Gu Chen say this, her eyes widened instantly.
Yes, she had indeed seen many similar things in her hundreds of years of life.
Now, those things came back to her mind.
Putting herself in their shoes, thinking from their perspective, and taking the opportunity to bring it into her mind, Funina seemed to understand.
While observing the changes in Funina's mood, Gu Chen made his final conclusion:
“That’s what Solstice is like; they’ll do anything to achieve their goals.
You can't say they are wrong, because I am moved by the determination and perseverance they show sometimes.
It cannot be said that they were right, because they did commit many sins.
Right and wrong, good and evil, are so mixed up, who can tell the difference?
Ultimately, it’s just a matter of stance.”
Furninna fell silent.
After living for so many years, she has not only grown older.
She is aware of many things deep down, but she just can't accept them.
After all, Finina is essentially a simple and kind girl, and such a heavy thing is a bit cruel to her.
Gu Chen didn't say anything else, just hugged her gently.
After giving her a hug and strength, Finina gradually recovered.
She smiled again and faced Gu Chen:
"Forget it, let's not talk about those heavy things, and let's not mention Solstice and the Doctor.
Gu Chen, you are now the Gou Chen Star, right? And you were personally appointed by Liyue's Rock God.
Can I assume that your position in Liyue is similar to that of Villette in Fontaine?"
"And Villette's position in Fontaine?"
Gu Chen thought about it:
"The Supreme Judge of Fontaine... almost.
Fufu, what do you want to ask?"
Funina was very excited:
"Then you must know the Rock God himself!"
Gu Chen's expression was subtle:
"We do know each other."
Furninna was excited again:
"Wow! He's the oldest god among the Seven Ruling Gods! And also the most mysterious god!
To put it in Liyue terms, it's like a dragon that can only be seen from head to tail, completely different from the image of a god like me who has always been active in the eyes of the people! "
Crossing his arms, Gu Chen said casually:
"He's just a retired old man who looks young, but he's also very capable and knowledgeable. There's nothing to worry about.
When I find a way to steal you out of Fontaine, I will take you to meet him.
By the way, there is also the Wind God of Mondstadt, we can get to know him when the time comes.
You should also make more friends."
"Oh, that's not the point!"
Furninna waved her hand:
"What I'm focusing on is the divine battle that broke out between the Rock God and the Ice God on the winter snowfield a few days ago!"
Speaking of this, Furninna's eyes almost lit up:
"I heard that the Rock God defeated the Ice God, and I also heard that the Ice God was humiliated after his defeat, otherwise he wouldn't have let the Rock God easily kidnap the doctor from Winterfell City and slice him!
Gu Chen, what exactly happened in that divine war? Tell me about it!"
Gu Chen suddenly realized and looked at Funina speechlessly:
"So you're gossiping about this.
Well...you know what, it's really the most gossip-worthy thing."
After patting Funina's head again, Gu Chen's expression gradually became a little proud:
"Haha, you asked the right person.
I used Ultra Vision to observe that battle of gods from afar, watching it from beginning to end, and even broadcasting it simultaneously with Paimon.
Come on, let me replay it for you..."
In this way, the two of them sat together on the wide swing, and Gu Chen replayed the battle of gods to Funina.
Gu Chen’s words were full of wonderful stories, and Funina’s mood was full of ups and downs as she listened to them.
When she heard the last part, that the Rock God summoned a huge star from the sky, smashed the Ice God into the ground, and sealed the Ice God in a sarcophagus, Funina was shocked and kept fantasizing.
And later on, it took the Ice God three days and three nights to break out of the coffin, and Gu Chen also recounted this.
In short, Funina enjoyed listening to the gossip.
So this night's private meeting was basically spent in gossip.
Anyway, Funina was very happy to hear that, and Gu Chen was also happy to see Funina so happy, so it seemed that his time was not wasted.
As the day gradually dawned, the two naturally separated in their dreams and agreed to meet in private next time, but this is not mentioned.
The two woke up in two different countries one after another and began their daily lives, which is not mentioned.
Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was only a few days away from Liyue's annual ceremony of inviting the immortals.
As a result, on this day, something suddenly happened... something that even Gu Chen couldn't describe.
The cause of the incident was still a letter!
This letter was discovered by Paimon.
Since they had almost finished touring Liyue Harbor, Gu Chen and Paimeng didn't go out frequently these days. They basically stayed in the mansion.
When at home, Gu Chen basically had nothing to do, and Paimeng was also a little bored.
Gu Chen was originally practicing calligraphy in his study, but unexpectedly, Paimeng, who was strolling in the courtyard garden, suddenly flew into the study holding a letter and yelling:
“Gu Chen!
Just now! This letter was slipped through the crack of the door and into our house!
I just happened to see it! I just happened to pick it up! "
Gu Chen stopped writing and looked puzzled:
"A letter? Where did it come from?"
Paimon shook his head and repeated:
“I don’t know, someone stuffed it in through the crack of the door.
I was a little worried, so I didn't open the door to check, but just took the letter as soon as possible."
Taking the envelope from Paimeng, Gu Chen was a little suspicious:
"It's really strange, who would send me a letter for no reason?
Moreover, this method of sending a letter is not proper at first glance."
While muttering this, Gu Chen opened the envelope, unfolded the letter inside, and looked at the contents of the letter.
The content of the letter was very simple, just two lines:
Respectfully inform Mr. Gu Chen, your good friend Zhongli is now in our hands.
Please come to this location southwest of Tianheng Mountain immediately, otherwise we cannot guarantee the safety of your friend Zhongli!
