Chapter 257 The End of the Play
Mission: The End of the Play
A 500-year-long drama is also a scam with great intentions. One of the characters in the play chooses to deceive the heaven by performing at the cost of his own life, just to "break" the prophecy that is bound to come. Please ask the host to find a way to save Fucaros from the script that is bound to die.
Reward: Unknown
Penalty: None
Yes/No Accept
The system issued a task after a long absence, and the target was none other than the current Water God of Fontaine.
"Tongzi, let me ask you something. The water god of Fontaine should not be Funina, right?"
"Yes."
"Where is the real water god?"
"Host, please explore on your own."
The system's reply was still so brief, which made Jiang feel a little disappointed. No matter how hard Jiang Xun tried, the system's answer was still to ask him to explore it on his own. In the end, Jiang Xun gave up the idea of getting any information from the system.
This system is good in every way except that it is not flexible at all.
"Do you accept this mission?"
The system's questioning voice sounded again in Jiang Xun's mind.
"Yes"
"The mission has been accepted successfully. Host, please start the mission."
After Jiang Xun accepted the task, the system said one more word and then fell silent again. The meaning was very clear, which was to let Jiang Xun complete the task quickly.
"Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang?"
Jiang Ruoli stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of Jiang Xun's eyes. The scent of glass lily wafted towards him, bringing Jiang Xun back to his senses. He then casually held the other person's hand which was slowly approaching his forehead.
Judging from the posture, is he ready to blow his head off?
"Uh, hey, so, you're okay?"
When Jiang Ruoli saw that her thoughts were seen through, she quickly chuckled and tried to change the subject.
"Yes, I am fine."
Jiang Xun smiled, then quickly flicked Jiang Ruoli's smooth forehead again.
This caused the girl to cry out in pain and she kept rubbing the part that was hit.
"Humph, how stingy!"
Jiang Xun just found the sulking Jiang Ruoli very funny. He reached out and touched her head, messing up her originally neat hairstyle, which made it even funnier.
"Damn it, don't run!"
"Come and chase me. If you catch me, I will be punished."
How could Jiang Ruoli bear it when she saw herself being bullied like this?
He rushed towards Jiang Xun with his fangs and claws bared. Seeing this, Jiang naturally ran away.
Presumably, she would forget about Funina for a short while.
Jiang Xun thought to himself.
After the system issued the task, Jiang Xun no longer planned to let Jiang Ruoli have any contact with Funingna. At least he didn't want Jiang Ruoli to meet her before the task was over.
Because according to past practice, there will almost always be danger during the execution of the system's tasks, not to mention that the introduction also involves the principles of heaven, so the other party cannot be allowed to participate.
"Damn it, I finally caught you!"
Jiang Xun deliberately slowed down, and Jiang Ruoli behind him seized the opportunity and grabbed his wrist, holding it tightly with both hands, fearing that Jiang Xun would run away when she wasn't paying attention.
"Okay, I lose."
Afterwards, Jiang Xun was also hit on the head by Jiang Ruoli, but what made him laugh was that he didn't feel anything, but Jiang Ruoli covered her fingers and kept blowing on them, which seemed to be very painful.
......
"It's getting late. I want to go see Funina."
After tasting Fontaine's snacks together, Jiang Ruoli asked to go see Funina.
"Let's not do that. I think Funina doesn't seem to want to see anyone right now."
"Why, didn't you say you would go see her later?"
Jiang Ruoli asked.
"I just thought about it carefully. After all, we are not related to each other. It is not a good idea to disturb her rashly."
"Besides, you see, there have been so many things going on in Fontaine recently. As the Water Goddess of Fontaine, she must be very busy. It's better not to disturb her if there is nothing else."
Jiang Xun explained.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Okay, let's go back first."
What Jiang Xun didn't expect was that Jiang Ruoli agreed to give up so easily. Although it felt strange, it didn't matter as long as Jiang Ruoli didn't get involved.
Then he nodded and returned to the apartment they rented in Fontaine with Jiang Ruoli.
This was the first time that Jiang Xun came to this residence. After all, after coming to Fontaine, Jiang Xun had hardly ever stayed in one place, so there was naturally no need to rent a house for himself.
The house that Jiang Ruoli rented was a luxurious small western-style building, located not far from Mo Mang Palace. It must have cost a lot of Mora, but Jiang Xun didn't care. He had long since stopped caring about the amount of Mora.
Not to mention that it already has a lot of Mora, just based on the treasures that the rich woman Diecarpian had given it before, it doesn't need to worry about the Mora problem at all.
In the evening, Jiang Xun arrived at the opera house.
He looked at the guards around him, then slowly walked inside.
There seemed to be a lot more guards around the opera house than last time. I wonder if it was because they were worried about their own safety after being frightened by the servants before.
However, these guards are better than nothing to Jiang Xun.
"I hope he didn't find out anything. No, no, I disguised myself very well. Fu Nina, don't be suspicious. You have to cheer up. It will be over soon. Just hold on for a while."
As soon as he reached the door, Jiang Xun heard Fu Nina talking to herself inside the room.
After finishing his words, Jiang Xun wanted to knock on the door, but a crying voice came into his ears again.
"But when will it end?"
Jiang Xun slowly lowered his hand that was near the door, took a look at the door, and then turned and left.
Arriving at the rooftop of the opera house, Jiang Xun sat there, thinking quietly.
Funina seemed to be in a much worse mood than he had imagined.
Just, pretend, end?
These two words lingered in Jiang Xun's mind, and he felt that he seemed to have found the key to the problem.
With his super-strong brain power, Jiang Xun came up with a guess almost in the next second, that is, Funina was most likely playing the role of the Water God, and the Real Water God knew this. The former seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to come, and as for that opportunity, it should be related to what the Real Water God did.
The system's introduction shows that the water god is performing a play, planning a scam to deceive the will of heaven, and this scam has been prepared for 500 years.
So now the question is, where is the real water god and what is she planning?
Jiang Xun remained silent. He did not dare to jump to conclusion.
"Forget it, let's find a chance to ask this little girl. I hope she can adjust her mood."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xun stopped thinking and quietly enjoyed the opera house at night.
"It's so beautiful. I guess the water god did this to protect the beauty of Fontaine."
