"The Demon God War was extremely brutal. 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 victory built their kingdom and empire on the remains of the losers. City-state, this is the story behind the seven rulers in the world."
"However, even if they are gods, it does not mean that they will 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 had begun to accept the fact that the boy in red beside her was 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 was not 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 happened thousands of years ago, and who owed whom, can no longer 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!"
Hutao believed that he had deduced the reason why Famas concealed the truth. He 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, and then he immediately realized that Hutao had misunderstood what he meant, and he didn't say anything to point it out, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, we can't directly confront Zhongli now."
The boy in red raised his head and looked at Vikas, the leader of Munata, 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 rough, then a plain covered with wild grass, and finally a stone building with a rather rough style of Munata.
Faded blue and white houses, white decorations, a few handmade signs paved with bricks and cement, the town square, the big red barn, and the 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 existing here independently. at.
"They are all here..."
Vikas straightened his fixed robes, his thin face was filled with a 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 wiped 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. Instead, Hutao marveled at them. After sighing at the value of ancient cultural relics, the three of them entered 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."
Hu Tao, 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 before crossing his arms and speaking.
"Yin and Yang are in order, life and death have destiny, and everything in the world must follow cause and effect."
"The reason why Munata sent troops to invade Liyue is 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, raised his arms and jumped, turned around and sat on it, swaying lazily out of boredom. feet, and patted the metal pipe under his 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 was awakening from the earth.
Hutao jumped to the ground smartly, trying to hide behind Famas, but happened to face the entrance of the dark pipe above his head.
It would be better to say that the barrel mouth is more suitable.
Hu Tao's plum blossom pupils blinked, and she looked at the machine that appeared 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 heavy shell give people a sense of oppression. Even though 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 cannon shells based solely 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 operated on land, but researchers in Canria later transformed it into a transportation and drilling equipment.
Before the people of Liyue invented the final machine, Kanreiya had already begun to use this large-scale war equipment.
In order to better transport ore and raw materials, the row of rotating gun barrels originally loaded on the flanks of the locomotive in front of it were removed, leaving only the main gun barrel aimed at Hutao.
This is a steam locomotive from Canrea's most powerful period. 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 much so that he woke up the control facility of the steam locomotive that had stopped running.
"What happens if you knock it...?"
Hu Tao felt that the barrel pointed at his face was gradually heating up, as if a hot flame was about to burst out of the barrel.
"It's going to be unfortunate."
Famas shook his head helplessly, took Hutao in his arms, and took the Humo Staff from the girl's hand. The flames rose and he slashed in the direction of the boiler of the large locomotive.
