Chapter 72, Meeting
"It's finally finished." Fugate finally finished carving some of the runes on the leg armor.
The rune carving went very smoothly this time, so smoothly that Fugate himself felt a little unbelievable.
So Fuquette, who was in a good mood, was not going to mess with the Fontaine nobles this time, but was going to reward himself and go to the Opéra Obi-Claire to listen to an opera.
Fugate is dressed in the attire of a Sumeru scholar, which is quite eye-catching here in Fontaine, but Fugate is not ready to change his mind.
Looking very comfortable, I bought a ticket and entered the Opéra Obi-Claire.
This is indeed the largest opera house and the largest courtroom in Fontaine. It covers a very large area and has a relatively high technological content.
Fugate found several devices for sound amplification so that even those sitting in the back rows could hear the sounds on stage.
But what is certain is that even if you can hear the sound, the view is definitely not good. No wonder some people bring binoculars to the opera house.
But Fugate didn't have this problem. His seat was in the third row. Although he spent a lot of money to buy the ticket, Fugate didn't care about it.
As mentioned before, the smelter freed Fugate from having to worry about regular Mora.
It's a good thing that the smelting factory is a factory affiliated with [Hearth House], otherwise Fugate would really have to worry about leaks and the like.
From the report given to Fugate by [Hearth House], it can be clearly known that the nobles of Fontaine used all kinds of methods to get Fugate to stay in the smelter. The metal ratio and the structure of the smelting furnace.
But these were blocked by the people of [Hearth House].
Just kidding... us fools have always taken advantage of us, when will it be your turn to get valuables?
"Although the songs are very good and the music is also very good, I'm still not used to the artistic expression of opera." Fugate said while sitting on a chair and touching his chin.
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that Linny and Linnette would have time to come here."
"The chief instructor is joking." Linni and Linnette scratched their heads and said.
"We sometimes get tickets to the opera house when we are on missions. We happen to have nothing to do recently, so we came to take a look."
“I really don’t know when we will be able to perform on the stage at the Opéra Aubie Clay.”
"We'll have to wait for that." Fugate laughed.
Although Linni and Linnette's magic skills can now be considered top among Fontainebleau, their reputations are not top-notch.
If you want to perform at the Oubique Opera House, your magic level and reputation must meet the standards. At the very least, you must be famous throughout Fontaine.
It is worth mentioning that Linni and Linnet's magic skills are already very impressive, because they combine psychic witchcraft, elemental power magic and their own magic skills.
The magic they worked together was even able to hide it from the eyes of Arecino and Fugate.
The kind that was forcibly concealed.
Because Fugate and Arecino were not sure whether they would be using elemental power, spiritual power or simple magic skills at the next moment.
"Tonight's opera is said to have three performances, and the third one is Ms. Funina's performance." Linney said, "Speaking of which, I seem to have seen Ms. Fonina in a special stand."
Sure enough, when the third opera began, Funina appeared on the stage to perform.
It seems that Funina is the real Funina after taking the stage. Her laughter, pain, and sadness are all performed very realistically.
"She is worthy of being the queen of all waters, all directions, all people and all laws." Fugate said, "This acting is indeed amazing."
Feeling the suppressed emotions in Fu Nina's heart, Fugate wanted to give Fu Nina a psychic enlightenment.
Emotional little girls often have very powerful psychic powers after awakening.
Although he knew that Funina might be a bit of a loser, the LV9 identified by the system still made Fugate a little nervous.
This strength is weaker than that of ordinary people.
Some Huihe people who often work hard are at LV10+. You must know that the pollution in Huihe is very serious, and most people are in the so-called sub-healthy state.
At the end of the opera, Fugate also clapped. If nothing else, the singing was really beautiful.
You can tell at a glance that hard work has been put into it.
"Speaking of which, Fukalos... seems to have dealt with me." Fugate touched his chin.
When he visited Fontaine, it seemed that Alzheimer's disease was already a bit serious. His memory at that time was very vague. Looking back now, it was like a mosaic. He often skipped a paragraph. Sure enough, he still had to ask Charmian. Bar.
Fugate followed the crowd to Lujing Spring.
"Yue Xingxi, is the Grand Inquisitor of Villette waiting for me? I am really honored." Fugate sat on the bench next to Lu Jingquan.
The crowd had dispersed, and Fugate looked at the person next to him. No, it would be more accurate to say it was a dragon.
"Mr. Nathan Rice H. Fugate, one of the promoters of Fontaine's alchemy industry, I'd like to send you my long-awaited greetings." The Dragon King of Water with a serious face said.
Fugate didn't expect to meet this emo-loving dragon here, and what he didn't expect was that this dragon actually knew him.
Although I didn't hide my thoughts, after being investigated, it was still a bit unclear.
"Did Dragon King Mian come down to see me for something?" Fugate asked as he wanted to go back to sleep.
"...You who trample on Fontaine's laws are indeed so disgusting." The Dragon King did not have a good look on Fugate.
Because the guy in front of him is the mastermind behind the recent chaos in Fontaine, a lawless maniac.
However, even if the Dragon King had read through Fengdan's laws, he could not find any article that could bring him to justice.
After all, his technique was so clean, as if everything was really just an accident.
"I haven't done anything." Fugate said. He really didn't do anything. The most he did was refine the potion and put a curse in it.
It’s not you who sells, and it’s not you who harms others.
The corner of Villette's mouth twitched twice: "The Law Enforcement Court and I will keep an eye on you."
With that said, Villette left, and raindrops began to fall from the sky in Fontaine. After all, there was indeed nothing wrong with what Fugate said, and he did not do anything.
But everyone is not a fool. Ever since Fugate began to provide poison to a certain black market, the rate of change among the Fontaine nobles has been several times faster than before, and more than forty barons and above have died out.
More than a hundred noble families with viscounts and above fell into the hands of collateral families.
This has caused some of the more cautious and decent nobles to become nervous. You must know that there are only more than 300 nobles in the entire Fontaine system.
Because the nobility changed too frequently, even the relatively slow Funina felt that something was wrong.
From this you can imagine how big an impact Fugate had on the upper echelons of Fontainebleau.
Moreover, Fugate is also suspected of manipulating the minds of the Fontaine nobles on a large scale, causing them to subconsciously ignore the danger posed by the poison (actually it is just the effect of the power of forgetfulness in the potion. Fugate used this as the ending and coordinates to proceed) cursed by fate).
This last reason was the reason why the Grand Inquisitor stopped to warn after seeing Nathan Rice.
Because Villette didn't discover how Fugate controlled the spirit of the Fontaine noble.
"It's so interesting, fate." Fugate looked at the sky, and the raindrops fell into the palm of his hand.
There is no doubt that the meeting between the two today was guided by fate.
"I don't know how you arranged it. My new role. If I'm not satisfied...forget it, let's talk about this kind of thing later." Fugate touched his chin and then disappeared. In the night.
"The coincidence of all coincidences."
"All accidents are accidents."
"First comes first, and all things are born from this."
"Before it appears, the teeth of fate mesh."
"Before the last, the world's machine moves."
Fugate retraced his destiny through psychic energy and the Supreme Heaven, but found nothing.
But Fugate was very interested in this. He did not think that his feeling was wrong. On the contrary, he knew that he was definitely right this time, because if the fate of the sky was discovered so easily, then It's not Gao Tian. He needs more detailed investigation. Fugate conducted a more detailed investigation.
In the end, he discovered the other party's subtle guidance on his destiny.
The subtle patterns remind me of opera...and then by changing the subtle components of oxygen in the air, I affect my breathing rhythm, making my mentality better and my hands more stable.
Naturally, everything goes smoothly when carving runes, and then everything falls into place.
Although there is no way Fugate can reproduce everything else.
But that breathing rhythm... Once Fugate remembered it, he was able to reproduce it naturally.
"This breathing rhythm is derived from the breathing method. Although it does not have the ability to speed up the violent transformation of the physical body, it has the ability to regulate the body and achieve balance. It is very similar to the effect of [Power of Balance]."
"Hmm~ It seems it's time to study the relationship between breathing and the power of balance." Fugate touched his chin.
Although he has a nihilistic appearance and a happy interior, he is a balanced destiny walker. This recognition was deliberately established by Fugate.
If he gets too close to nothingness, nothingness will completely swallow him up and he will become the self-destroyer of nothingness.
If he gets too close to pleasure, he will become a slave to his instincts and become a scum in pursuit of hedonistic carnival.
Only by using the power of balance to balance the two can you guide your original intention.
Of course... people's original intention is to enjoy leisure and hate work, so Fugate often finds something to do for himself.
Although Fugate had practiced the power of balance during his lifetime, he was passive most of the time.
Because the two essences in his body were too overbearing at that time, the power of balance was just a drop in the bucket when faced with the two essences.
Especially the nature of nothingness.
The essence of nothingness at that time was not an external form, but an inner form, which would only grow but not be lost.
It was only through Fugate's hard work throughout his life that he allowed his joy to overwhelm nothingness and allowed him to die in the ceremony.
More than six hundred years after his death, nothingness became Fugate's appearance, and the essence of nothingness was vented, and Fugate's situation became much better.
Moreover, over the past six hundred years, the power of balance has become one of Fugate's essence.
However, the current essence of the power of balance is too small, and the specific manifestation is only when Fugate is using the power of balance, so Fugate did not pay attention to it before.
"But now it seems that we still need to pay attention to it."
With Fugate's expertise in the breathing method, he quickly completed the linkage between the two, and the breathing method was quickly adjusted with the help of the power of balance.
Fugate independently entered into a state of self-destruction once a week.
Quickly transform the perfected breathing method into your own instinct.
"Hmm~ This way of breathing." Fugate touched his chin.
Although he didn't feel that the efficiency had become much stronger, Fugate somehow felt that the breathing method had become more comprehensive and harmonious.
"Hu, Xipei, Idlila..." Fugate continued to rub his chin and think about the commonalities between these star gods.
In the end, he gave up thinking. Fugate did notice some similarities between these star gods, but the level was too high. It was useless for Fugate to know, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
······
"Is this a [small ecological space]?" Natasha asked.
"Well~ read the instructions beforehand." Xia Mian stopped Xi'er who was about to play with the crystal ball.
Charmian wanted to complain about that guy from Fugate, who actually used a crystal ball to carry something as important as the [small ecological space].
Xia Mian, who often helped Fugate smelt the crystal ball, naturally knew the name of Fugate's crystal ball, a disposable magic weapon.
After taking the instructions and reading them carefully, Charmian realized that he had wrongly blamed Fugate this time.
In addition to being used as a regular crystal ball instrument, this crystal ball instrument is very hard. Its hardness is not determined by its material structure, but by the world it carries.
Only the ability to destroy the world bubble with one blow can break this crystal ball.
As for things that can only be accomplished by city-destroying powerhouses, there are naturally such powerhouses on this planet. Whether they are the big robots of the city builders or the star cores, they all have such destructive power. force.
The later Mother of Illusion, Cocolia, is also good, but the current Cocolia is obviously worse.
But now Cocolia is still far away.
Even though she is already the strongest person in Beloberg today.
Xia Mian has seen her fight, and she is probably equivalent to a LV83 Genshin Impact. She is very strong, but not strong enough.
Through the instructions, Shamian pulled himself, Natasha, Xi'er and Oleg, the leader of the Earth Fire, into the small ecological space.
The small ecological space not only contains cultivated land, but also a growing forest. Fugate also built a cabin and a huge warehouse in it, which also stores a large number of processed medicinal herbs and ingredients.
Of course, there are some butterflies that Xi'er needs.
Fugate prepared a flower room with blooming flowers in the room.
"Is this a butterfly?"
Natasha touched her chin, looked at the supplies in the warehouse and said, "It seems that you are really rich. The supplies he selected for you are of the highest quality."
Although Natasha is only a doctor in the lower area, she still has some knowledge.
"These meats, nice fat texture."
"Putting it in the upper area of Beloberg, one pound of meat would probably cost a thousand Winter City shields."
"Really, I don't have much needs, and I don't have a good appetite. Just leave some for me to make into grease." Xia Mian said, "If you are really short of money, you can choose to sell these things to the upper level. Go to the district, that traveling businessman named Sambo should have this way.”
"What do you want grease for?" Xi'er asked blankly.
"To maintain my hair, my hair maintenance ointment has been running low recently." Xia Mian said, "I originally planned to use the salamander to refine the hair maintenance ointment."
"..." Natasha was also speechless about this situation, "Leave it to me and I will take care of it later."
"Hmm~ Is this a weapon?" Oleg was interested in the various weapons hanging on the warehouse door.
"No, that's a training sword... huh? It seems to be made of ceramic steel. In that case, it's okay for you to regard it as a weapon, but it's a bit too heavy for daily use." Charmian said .
Next, Oleg and Xi'er focused on researching weapons and various supplies, while Shamian and Natasha, who knew a little about planting, began to plan the land.
Fugate carefully left behind the seeder and other farming machinery, and awakened the machine soul for them.
"It's really magical..." Natasha didn't know how to describe these machines. "They don't seem to have intelligent units, so what do they rely on to complete self-awareness."
"Rely on the machine soul, woman." The cultivator directly used psychic energy to speak. "If you want to use our words, you must first consecrate them, and then use them correctly according to the instructions."
The cultivator is the leader of these farming machines. Fugate has additionally strengthened his psychic attributes, allowing him to use some witchcraft to maintain the machine souls of other machines.
"Then why can Charmian use it directly?"
"Oh~ can you compete with a powerful psychic? The psychic energy she lost when she met us is enough for us to maintain our activities for a long time." The cultivator said.
"What a magical technology." Natasha's expression was very interesting.
"I discovered something Nata," said Charmian.
"?"
"We don't have enough medicinal seeds. I just calculated that even if we plant according to the maximum spacing, our seeds can only cover less than thirteen acres of land at most, and the remaining forty-seven acres of land will probably be vacant."< br>
"It seems like we should have a good chat with Sambo. I hope he can get enough seeds." Natasha said.
"Also, do you need to transplant the medicinal materials in your greenhouse?" Xia Mian asked.
"Let's see and then talk," Natasha said.
