Chapter 141: Furninna's Request

Chapter 141: Furninna's Request

"Nothing, nothing..."

"Ahem, I mean, Buyer from Xumi, I have some important matters to discuss with the people around you in private. Could you please step aside for a moment?"

After a light cough, Furninna came into her senses and asked Nashida.

"Pardon my refusal, Miss Fukaros, but I am not at ease placing him before a god who has sentenced him to exile."

Nashida raised her hand to stop Liu Bai and signaled him not to speak, then calmly rejected Funina.

"what……"

Perhaps Nashida's words hit the nail on the head, and Furninna's momentum suddenly weakened. She had to immediately scoop up a small piece of cake with a fork and put it into her mouth.

"You can't blame me for that incident, after all, it was such a big deal..."

"And it was clearly him who asked to be exiled..."

With her momentum down, Funina muttered quietly with a piece of cake in her mouth.

"Actively request? Can you tell me in detail?"

Although Finina's voice was very low, everyone present was no ordinary person and could hear it clearly. Nashida immediately asked.

"Please forgive me for refusing."

"Also, even though you don't trust me, Buyer, I am the god who represents justice. I will never harm my own people, so you can rest assured."

"And I can tell you clearly that what I want to tell him concerns the secrets of the Fontaine country. As a god from a foreign country, do you want to steal the secrets of Fontaine?"

Furninna decisively rejected Nashida, then crossed her arms and continued speaking.

"But he is not a citizen of Fontaine, so every word you say cannot be guaranteed to be true."

"If Miss Fukaros is unwilling to speak directly, then I will have someone send you away."

Narcida was not threatened by Furninha, but continued to refute calmly.

"Girl, try this, it should be delicious..."

Liu Bai, who was standing by, couldn't interrupt, so he focused all his attention on the dessert. While Nashida was speaking, he picked up a small piece of macaron and handed it to Nashida's mouth.

"Mmm~ It's delicious~"

Nashida took a bite and nodded happily.

"Really? Well, I think it tastes good too."

Liu Bai stuffed the macaron that Nashida had bitten into his own mouth, then gave a thumbs up and commented.

Seeing this scene, Funina, who had her arms crossed over her chest, subconsciously tightened her arms.

"Have you thought about it? We are very busy. Even if you are a distinguished guest, please don't take up too much of our time."

After taking a bite of the macaron, Nashida turned back and continued asking questions to Furninna.

"I...I'll tell you, but make it clear first, you are not allowed to tell anyone else."

Furninna was defeated and had no choice but to nod and compromise.

"Don't worry, Miss Fukaros, I have a very tight lipped conversation with him."

Nashida also smiled and assured Furninda.

Furninna took a deep breath, organized her words in her mind, and spoke after a while.

"It's like this. Recently, the Cardinal of the Decree has stopped working. However, due to some accidents, I personally cannot completely repair it, so I want to ask Liu Bai to help repair the Cardinal of the Decree."

After tidying up her words, Funina began to explain.

"Ah I?"

Liu Bai, who was about to feed Nashida another bite of dessert, pointed at himself in surprise.

"Yes, you dismantled the Cardinal Oracle once before and reassembled it perfectly. I think you should have the ability to repair it."

Furninna nodded affirmatively.

After these days of hard work, she began to doubt whether Liu Bai needed to kowtow to the cardinal in charge of the decree before it could be repaired.

"Hmm... I don't remember, but why don't you ask my girl? My girl is so smart, it wouldn't be easy for her to repair any machine."

Liu Bai shook his head, then put his arm around Nashida's shoulders and spoke to Furninda.

Liu Bai is still very confident in Nashida's abilities. After all, her whole family are gods of wisdom.

"Please, I am a god after all. It would be too embarrassing to ask other gods for help..."

Furninha responded quietly.

"But you are different. You used to be my bodyguard. If I ask you for help, it won't be a big deal even if others know about it. It's just like asking Clorinde to buy a cake for me."

Then Furninha continued to explain, pointing to Clorinde outside the door and giving examples.

Since Furninha has been slow to repair the Cardinal's Oracle, voices of discussion and doubt about her ability have gradually emerged.

This trend couldn't continue, so after recognizing Liu Bai, she couldn't help but come over for help.

"I see. Although I have never seen the Cardinal's Oracle in action, I have a little understanding of it. It is indeed very important to Fontaine, both in symbolic terms and as an energy supply device."

Nashida could sense that Furninna's purpose of coming here was indeed this matter, so she nodded slightly.

Then she turned her head and looked at Liu Bai with some doubt in her eyes. She didn't think Liu Bai could really repair such a complicated device.

"How about...I try to kowtow to it and see?"

Seeing Nashida's suspicious look, Liu Bai knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but make a suggestion.

"How could this method possibly..."

"Good idea, that's how you fixed it last time!"

Nashida spoke in silence, but before she finished her words, Furninha on the opposite side nodded quickly.

"You are quite good. You even know a trick like kowtow."

Liu Bai spoke to Funina with some appreciation.

"?"

Nashida looked at Furninda, then looked at Liu Bai who was nodding with admiration.

Oh no, I’m the God of wisdom, why do I feel out of tune with them?

"…Why don't you give it a try?"

After a moment's silence, Nashida made a proposal to Liu Bai.

She wanted to see how she had to kowtow to get the Cardinal's Decree functioning again.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Since Nashida had spoken, Liu Bai immediately patted his chest and agreed.

"That's great. There's no trial today, and the troupe's performance would have ended long ago by this time. There should be no one in the opera house now. Let's hurry over there."

Furninna nodded immediately.

Humph, wait until the decree is passed and the cardinal is repaired, then I'll see who dares to doubt my ability.

Thinking this in her mind, Funina led Liu Bai and the others outside.

However, what Funina did not expect was that the sound insulation of the living room was very good. After walking out of the living room, she found that it was raining outside, and it was raining very heavily.

This is a bit troublesome. We can't take them there in the heavy rain, right?

"Um……"

After looking at the situation outside, Nashida took out a mushroom-shaped umbrella with one hand and handed it to Liu Bai.

"Xiaobai, you hold it. Miss Fukaros, please give me your hand."

After Liu Bai took the umbrella, Nashida took one of his hands and then extended a hand to Furninda.

This way she won't be able to meet Liu Bai.

"Eh? What's wrong?"

Furninha didn't understand what it meant, but she still stretched out her left hand and placed it on Nashida's hand.

"give it to you."

Holding Furninda's hand, Nashida then gestured to Liu Bai.

"okay."

Liu Bai responded and raised the hand holding the umbrella, on which was the earth vein transmitter that Nashida had given him.

"Miss Clorinde, we are leaving for the Opiecle Opera House. If you haven't gotten off work yet, you can come with us."

At this time, Nashida turned around and spoke to Clorinde who was standing beside her.

Because Fernina didn't know what Narcida was going to do, she almost left herself at the Northland Bank.

"OK, all right."

Clorinde nodded slightly and stepped forward slightly.

But Clorinde soon became a little conflicted. Given the difference in status between her and Fernina, she certainly could not put her hand on the god's shoulder. Similarly, Nashida was also a god.

Thinking of this, Clorinde looked at Liu Bai.

"come over."

Furninna immediately reached out her other hand and grabbed Clorinde's hand.

"..."

Liu Bai then used the earth vein teleporter, and after a few seconds of guidance, the four people disappeared from the spot, leaving only a few employees of the Northland Bank looking at each other in bewilderment.

When the four people reappeared, they had already arrived at the teleportation anchor point right in front of Lu Jingquan, and large raindrops fell on the large mushroom-shaped umbrella.

"?"

Furninna and Clorinde, who were drenched by the rain, turned their heads together and looked at Liu Bai and Nashida under the umbrella.

"Idiot, why did you hold the umbrella so far away?"

Nashida spoke to Liu Bai in an unpleasant tone, and then injected a little elemental power into the umbrella, making the mushroom umbrella much larger, blocking the rain on Fernina and Clorinde's heads.
