Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

Page 6

"Thank you, big sister."

Seeing the white-haired girl sobbing, clutching the corner of her clothes timidly and with tears in her eyes, Ying's heart beat faster.

So cute!

Ying was cheering, and countless players were bleeding at this moment.

"It's over! My wallet! I finally figured out how this game, Genshin Impact, makes money."

Ah Xue covered her chest with her hands in grief and said with a painful expression:

"I definitely have to buy this character!! How much the hell is it going to cost?!"

"Stop talking, just tell me where the top-up screen is! I'll buy it! I'll buy it, okay?!"

"I bought it! I bought it! You win miHoYo!"

"I knew this game wasn't easy, haha. It's a free game, what the hell, a free game? I spent all that money on it, and it's not okay! But you better tell me where I can buy Leah!!"

Seeing these comments in the live broadcast room, Axue became anxious, and finally started to quickly advance the plot so that she could buy Leia earlier.

Just thinking about being able to control Leia to jump around and peek under her skirt made Axue want to go crazy.

So she looked at the dialog box on the computer.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you here?"

There was no difference between the two questions, so Axue just randomly chose the second one.

"Big sister, my name is Astraea. I'm from Fontaine and I just arrived in Mondstadt."

Paimon said in surprise: "Fontaine? It's far away. How did you get here?"

"I have come all this way to complete the trial assigned by the Supreme Bishop."

"You walked here? By yourself? What is the trial?"

Paimon continued to question, and Astraea replied weakly, "I am the Guardian Knight and Captain of the Guards of the Water God, chosen by the Supreme Bishop. However, before I can officially become a Guardian Knight, I still need to undergo a journey of trials, so I am only a candidate knight for now."

"Guardian Knight of the Water God? You?"

Paimon looked surprised, and Ying also looked surprised.

"I'm sorry, I-I know I'm not suitable!"

Astraea lowered her head in frustration.

"I'm timid, weak, afraid of pain, and incompetent. I'm completely unworthy of being the Water God's Guardian Knight. But for some reason, the Supreme Bishop chose me and said that only I could be his Guardian Knight. Faced with such expectations, I really wanted to cheer myself up, but it didn't work. I couldn't even defeat a few water slimes."

"Hey, don't be so depressed! Water slimes and such... Aren't you the Water God's Eye? And you're unarmed, so it's only natural that you can't defeat them!"

Although creatures like slimes are generally not strong, they are very pure elemental creatures. The same kind of elemental force as the slime cannot cause any damage to the slime at all. Basically, they can only be dealt with by different kind of elemental force or physical attacks. So... well, Paimon felt that his comfort was not unreasonable.

After all, although she has the Water God's Eye, Astraea's image shows that her fighting style should be inclined towards pure elemental force attacks, which does not involve physical attacks. In this case, it is natural that she cannot defeat the water slime.

However, having said that, Leah was still very frustrated.

"I also want to become a qualified guardian knight and live up to the expectations of the Water God and the Supreme Bishop, but it's really difficult. I wish I could be as strong as my elder sister."

"I regret it! No! I have to open a new account!"

Another game anchor, Da Ma Ge, slapped his thigh hard, and then opened a new account without hesitation. This time he chose empty and quickly came to the same plot again.

"Thank you, big brother."

"Brother, my name is Astraea. I'm from Fontaine and I just arrived in Mondstadt."

"I also want to become a qualified guardian knight and live up to the expectations of the Water God and the Supreme Bishop, but it's really difficult. I wish I could be as strong as my big brother."

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

When Big Brother Da Ma heard the calls of "Big Brother", he groaned like he was sick.

Daily illness

"But this is the first time I've been so ill."

"Stop yelling, you're scaring my daughter."

"This constant calling of 'big brother' is really unbearable. I'm definitely buying this role."

At this point, anyone with a brain would know that this was a game that sold characters, so Da Ma Ge said this with a smile - although everyone still guessed wrong at this point, this character could not be bought directly, but had to be drawn, this was a card drawing game.

And it's a particularly bad thing. Astraea is a character in the permanent pool. There are no small guarantees or big guarantees. There is no such good thing that can only be found in the UP pool - but the players who are still very naive at this time, including these anchors, still think that they can buy Astraea as long as they spend some money.

At the same time, they are very satisfied with miHoYo. Although it is not a truly free game, no one expects that kind of thing, so miHoYo is still receiving rave reviews now - once they fully understand the wish system in the future, that will be the time for miHoYo to be criticized.

Of course, Ye had nothing to do with miHoYo being scolded. After all, it was not his decision that the first small account was a permanent pool character, so after he finished the plot he had planned with peace of mind, he directly withdrew his attention and handed the rest back to the small account.

Next, it’s time to go to Inazuma.

Of course, Inazuma’s teleportation anchor point is not open, so you still need to go to Liyue first.

So, with the blink of an eye, night arrived in Liyue Harbor.

Chapter 8 The Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

"The Supreme Bishop of Fontaine?"

After hearing Ganyu's report, Ningguang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then looked at the photo on her desk.

The photo was not circulated from Fontaine until half a year ago. Ningguang spent 100 million Mora to buy it at the auction.

In the photo, there is a man.

He has black hair and black eyes, wears a black and blue silk robe, and has a face so calm that it is almost expressionless. Just from the photo, one can feel a deep sense of majesty in this man.

This man is none other than the world-famous Supreme Bishop of Fontaine Cathedral.

--night.

At the same time, it can also be said that he is the man Ningguang has admired since childhood.

Liyue is a trading capital and controls the issuance of Mora. At the same time, Liyue is also a country ruled by merchants.

The Seven Stars of Liyue are the seven most powerful and wealthy businessmen in Liyue - but for the man in the photo, the so-called Seven Stars of Liyue are nothing at all, right?

"The Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is giving me a visiting card?"

Even Ningguang felt flattered, which is a rare feeling in her life.

Although she is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, and is one of the people in power in Liyue when the Emperor does not show up, and her status is equal to that of the other party, but to be honest, she really does not think that her status is equal to that of the other party.

Three hundred years ago, Liyue and Fontaine fought an economic war that affected all seven countries.

The cause was that Fontaine's three alchemical products plundered a large amount of Mora from the other six countries. The Liyue Seven Stars at that time did not realize the danger of this matter. Instead, they thought it was a good thing at first. After all, they were making real money, and making a lot of money - the process was too complicated to explain. In short, the result was that Fontaine tied the new currency to the three commodities, and Mora suffered a significant devaluation. It almost turned from a currency into a pure commodity. The economic center of Teyvat was forced to shift from Liyue to Fontaine, and a large amount of wealth was harvested by Fontaine.

In this situation, the seven stars of Liyue of that generation were completely confused. By the time they realized that something was wrong, it was already too late to stop it - they were even reluctant to stop it.

Because even in such a situation, the Seven Stars of Liyue are still making money, all the merchants in Liyue are making money, and merchants from all countries in Teyvat are making money like crazy - who would be willing to stop them in this situation?

The rock god Morax is willing to give it up.

Yes, in this situation, the Rock King finally couldn't help but leave.

There was no other way. If he didn't get out of this, he would become a laborer - a pure laborer who specialized in making "commodities" like morra for Fontaine, allowing Fontaine to buy them in large quantities at low prices using gold banknotes (the name of Fontaine's currency at the time, which was still made of paper).

Morax, who didn't want to become a worker, took action himself and started an economic war with the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine that shook the seven countries.

That was the only time in Liyue's history that the Geo Emperor directly sat in Liyue Harbor every day and took full control of all power.

For twenty years, an invisible war between gods and humans shocked the whole world.

That was not a real war, but it was no less dangerous than a real war.

"I have never seen such an amazingly talented human being."

"His wisdom and talent would put even gods to shame."

"If you are willing to come to Liyue, I can let you rule Liyue as my subordinate."

"Fukaros is so lucky."

The above are all from the original words of Emperor Yanwang.

Yes, in that economic war, the Emperor was ultimately defeated.

Later, when the Rock King Emperor expressed his desire to personally travel to Fontaine to negotiate with the Water God and the Supreme Bishop, hoping to compromise and end this economic war, the Supreme Bishop unexpectedly said, "It would be rude to have the Rock King Emperor come in person. I will represent Lady Funina as an envoy to Liyue and hope to have the honor of an audience with the Emperor."

Emperor Yan Wang smiled and said, "Please prepare the bed to welcome you."

——The Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is such a person.

An existence that can be on equal terms with the Rock King Emperor.

Facing such an existence, although Ningguang can be considered a proud woman, she really cannot be proud.

After all, she was telling the truth. There was absolutely no falsehood in her statement that the other person was the person she admired the most.

And the other party said that he was a human being, but wouldn’t a human being who has lived for hundreds of years be an immortal?

Ningguang felt that she should treat an immortal with the same attitude.

No, it's even more than that.

"How can we allow the Supreme Bishop to come here in person? This is extremely rude. Ganyu, where is the Supreme Bishop staying now? Is it the embassy?"

"No, according to the report, the Supreme Bishop is currently in Wanmin Hall, having dinner with Mr. Zhongli from Wangsheng Hall."

"Mr. Zhongli?"

Ningguang raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She had often heard of the knowledgeable Mr. Zhongli in the Wangsheng Hall, but she didn't expect that he was also acquainted with the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine?

Or was it a chance encounter and a hit it off?

This is not impossible.

Perhaps the Supreme Bishop is an approachable person.

With this thought in mind, Ningguang looked at Ganyu, who also seemed lost in thought, and asked again, "Ganyu, you've met the Supreme Bishop, right? What kind of person do you think he is?"

Ganyu came back to her senses and bit her lower lip: "He is... a very scary person."

"horrible?"

"Being in the presence of the Supreme Bishop, I felt a sense of oppression, a sense of difficulty even breathing. When he first arrived in Liyue, I was the one who welcomed him. Back then, I even felt a bit of fear when speaking loudly in his presence."

Ningguang couldn't help but look at the photo on the desk again.

Although we can tell from the photos that the other person is a very dignified person, it is still a bit beyond imagination to be so dignified.

If you don't see her in person, you probably won't understand what Ganyu is talking about.

"Come on, Ganyu, come with me to visit the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine, who left behind a five-hundred-year-old legend."

Chapter 9 Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!

"you!"

Along with the traveler's comfort to Astraea.

"As long as you work hard and don't give up, you will gradually become stronger." - After such comfort, the plot dialogue finally ended.

As the plot dialogue ended, the scene went straight into an animated short.

At the same time, a familiar voice appeared.

"Ah! It's Amber!"

Axue clapped her hands happily.
