Chapter 3: Final Fantasy
"Yo, Morax, don't call me by that name, I prefer the name Nanshuo now."
Nan Shuo lifted his cloak and hat, revealing his face.
Nanshuo ...... It sounds like Liyue's name. ”
"Haha, then I'm not a human being you sheltered now."
Morax's eyes flashed, and the current Nanshuo was completely different from the dark god of the past.
"I haven't sheltered the Liyue people who dared to blow up the Jade Pavilion."
Nan Shuo scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Eh, I actually didn't blow it up, the Jade Pavilion put me in another space, and I didn't hurt anyone, do you think you should let me go this time?" ”
During the Daedric War, Morax had a confrontation with Holdel, and the two sides fought for dozens of days without a winner, and finally the Demon God of Light dragged his unsuccessful brother away.
That's right, Fikral, the god of light, and Holdel, the god of darkness, are twin gods. It is also the strongest group of demon gods in the early stage of the Demon God War, and during the time when Nanshuo was sealed, he slowly digested Holdel's memory, and now he can be said to be a new demon god, or a person from another world.
Holdel, who was once the Demon God of Darkness, was not interested in humans even though he had no shelter, and spent most of his time sleeping in his temple, occasionally getting up to fight the Demon God.
So he doesn't have much to do with Morax, but Fikral has a bad relationship with Morax, and the reason why Holdall fights Morax is also because of this.
"Why are you doing that?"
Morax was curious, and he had the impression that the Dark Demon God was a dead dwelling, easily inactive.
"I'm just here to repay someone for breaking the seal for me, don't worry, I'll find a chance to return the Jade Pavilion to the humans." Nanshuo looked somewhere on the ground below, his eyes a little dark.
"And what are your plans for the future?" Zhongli slowly walked to Nan Shuo's side, and the divine robe on his body gradually disappeared.
"Me? Let's get a job first, I'd love to see how times have changed. You're not going to drive me away, are you? ”
Zhongli walked up to him, looked down at Liyue in the void with him, and said with a smile:
"I won't drive you away, but I welcome you very much, then, welcome back to the world, Nanshuo."
………………。
After that, Nan Shuo said goodbye to Zhong Li, and he returned to the house where Li Mo was eating Tiger Rock.
When he pushed open the door, he found Li Mo slumped on the chair with a red face and a wine jug.
"Oh, you're back."
Nan Shuo looked at the half-dead man in front of him, feeling a little helpless.
"Ningguang has lost the Jade Pavilion, you and me, I have completed it."
"yes, I see."
Li Mo waved his hand, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.
"How does it feel to get revenge?" Nan Shuo said in a somewhat mocking tone.
Li Mo thought for a while with a dull look in his eyes, then took another sip of wine and said, "... Empty... False. ”
"Flowers have a reblooming day, no one is young anymore, Li Mo, when hatred blinded your eyes, you have become yourself and you don't know yourself."
"Nanshuo,...... Kill me. ”
Since Li Mo went bankrupt, he began to drink and gamble, and now his wife is separated, and he originally had an eighty-year-old mother, but he also died of illness when Li Mo went to sea a few days ago.
After returning from the sea, he had no meaning to live except hatred.
Now that the revenge has been avenged, he has nothing left.
Nan Shuo sighed, turned his head to the side, and stretched out his hand to finish off his "benefactor".
"Why pay so much attention to hate? …… But I'm not qualified to talk about him. Nan Shuo touched the sword on his waist, which was a relic left by Fikral.
"Since you're gone, the only house you have left is mine." A purple-black flame appeared in Nanshuo's hand, and the flame solidified into a piece of paper, which was the title deed of the house.
But Nanshuo doesn't plan to live here.
Nanshuo opened a portal in the void and slipped inside.
In a void space, the Jade Pavilion was quietly suspended, and Nanshuo flew into it and lay down on the chaise longue that belonged to Ningguang and closed his eyes.
…………… ............... a week later.
Nanshuo, who had been staying at home for a whole week, finally couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience and climbed out of the Jade Pavilion.
After appearing in the hut where Tiger Rock was eaten, Nanshuo found a letter on the mahogany table.
Nan Shuo originally thought that it might be the Fatui trying to recruit him or something, but he didn't expect that he couldn't open this letter.
"Eh, what is this thing made of? I can't tear it apart. ”
Nanshuo frantically tore at the envelope, which was made of unknown material, but the envelope showed great toughness, and no matter how hard Nanshuo tore it, it only stretched with it, but there was not a single crack in it.
"Damn, I don't believe it anymore."
Nanshuo's right hand reached out and condensed a switch in the void.
This is the rule authority that he fused with his own divine core and half of Fikral's divine core to give birth to - fantasy.
"Where light and darkness intertwin, when dawn and night separate, this is the moment of Final Fantasy. Let's emerge! The paper cutter which can open all envelopes! After Nanshuo recited a lot of shameful lines, the switch turned into a paper cutter.
"Now I see how you are still intact." Nanshuo smiled wickedly and aimed the paper cutter at the envelope.
Just as he was about to break through the "defense" of the envelope, the letter turned into a piece of ice crystal and dissipated into the air.
An Ice Empress in an extravagant dress appeared in mid-air.
"Long time no see, Holdel."
The phantom of the ice god bowed slightly to Nan Shuo, who was holding a paper cutter, but there was not much color in his eyes.
Nan Shuo felt a little embarrassed, put the paper cutter behind his back, coughed and said with a serious face: "Well, it's the Ice God, I already knew it was you, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”
In Nanshuo's memory, the ice god and the dark god are still quite familiar, after all, the ice god's temple is in the extreme north, close to the dark realm of Nanshuo, and the former ice god is also a dead house, and the relationship between the two of them is not bad.
The Ice God Phantom stared at the paper cutter behind Nan Shuo, sighed helplessly and said, "Although I don't want to believe that this is true, you have really come this far." ”
In the Teyvat continent, there is also a hierarchy between demon gods.
Just like the Demon God of Salt is the weakest level, the Othello Borean King Wolf and the like are all in the second gear, and the strongest level is the Demon God with the authority of the rules.
Wendy's freedom, Zhongli's contract, and Shadow's eternity are all considered some kind of rule authority, and under the amplification of the heart of the gods, the seven gods can be regarded as the strongest level.
The other demon gods are just powerful elemental creatures in a sense.
Nanshuo only vaguely touched the threshold of the rules before fusing the Fikral Divine Core, and after fusing the Fikral Divine Core, he had a authority, that is, the switch he had just summoned - [Final Fantasy] consumed a certain amount of elemental power to create an item containing a certain rule power.
"Sure enough, is this letter your rule creation?" Nanshuo withdrew the paper cutter and looked at the phantom of the ice god.
The Ice God Phantom nodded, shook his head again, and finally spoke after being silent for a while: "Since you have broken away from the seal of Heavenly Principles, then don't go to Sky Island again, it doesn't mean that you should let go of ....... ”
The Ice God Phantom gave Nanshuo a look, and Nanshuo understood what he was trying to say.
"Waiting for your chance......" Nanshuo replied, "yes, I know." ”
"So be it, if you have time, you can come to my temple as a guest, like ...... It was like that before. ”
"I will."
After Nanshuo finished speaking, the Ice God Phantom dissipated on the spot.
Looking at the ice crystals dissipating in the air, Nan Shuo shook his head.
"It seems that I can't stay at home anymore, so let's show some energy."
With that, Nanshuo walked out the gate and onto the streets of Liyue Harbor.
I have to say that the streets of Liyue are really bustling, and unlike in the game, it can be said to be the real economic center of Teyvat, with huge docks, wide streets, and magnificent buildings along the streets, giving people the feeling of an ancient version of the magic capital.
"Ah, that's huge."
Dressed in a white robe and shaking a fan in his hand, Nan Shuo wandered around Liyue City like a boy.
But Brother Gongzi is just his own feeling, and the people around him think that this guy is a hillbilly who has never seen much of the world.
Although he was dressed like a dog, his wide-eyed eyes and inadvertently grown mouth betrayed his hillbilly nature.
Although everyone around him was a little dismissive of him, no one spoke out to mock him, after all, this is Liyue, and it advocates openness and tolerance.
Suddenly, a young girl walked up to Nanshuo's side.
"Hey, this little brother, the Adventurers' Guild understands?"
“?????”
Nan Shuo looked at Tian Tian, the propagandist of the Adventurers Association, who suddenly appeared with a bewildered expression.
The girl said enthusiastically, "Hey, are you interested in adventure?" If you're into wilderness survival, diving, and Wind Wings Forza Racing, then come to the Adventurers' Guild! ”
"Well, shouldn't adventurers clean up monsters, help citizens, explore ruins, and find treasure chests?"
"Uh......"
The girl who is a propagandist for the Adventurers' Association chokes on Nanshuo's words.
"No, according to the adventure books in the Wanwen Collection, adventure should be survival in the wild...... Eh, don't go! ”
Nan Shuo covered his face and walked quickly to the side.
"I really don't know what the hell this Liyue Adventure Guild is, is it Zhongli who protects them too well?"
Thinking of Liyue's plot later, Nan Shuo shook his head.
"Seven Stars is ready, but it doesn't seem like the people will be able to accept Liyue without shelter."
With a history of more than 3,700 years, Liyue is the most prosperous human nation in Teyvat, with the bones of demon gods buried everywhere, Morax being the strongest of the seven gods, and Liyue itself being the most prosperous human nation in Teyvat.
"The people of Liyue seem to have been comfortable for too long."
Nan Shuo walked while thinking, and bumped into a purple figure as he walked.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I accidentally wandered."
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, just pay attention next time."
After Nan Shuo stood still and saw the person he bumped into clearly, he suddenly shouted in shock: "It's you?!" Beef offal master! ”
