Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 799 Perhaps There Is Nothing

The little cabbage's sudden mention of "Nay" silenced Al and Jacques, who had been arguing just moments before.

For these little ones, Brother Nai seems to be their most important friend and family member.

"Before Nei was dissolved, she used her last strength to dissolve a small piece of the dome and placed the treasure there."

Jacques retorted sarcastically, "Narcissus is used to looking down on his insignificant subjects and has no habit of looking up, yet he doesn't know that the treasure has always been there."

Xu Ning looked up at the figure gently embracing the tower and smiled, "So how do we get up there?"

Ann flapped her little wings. "If we want to get up there, we have to deal with the three water cannon positions that Narcissus has set up. They are despicable facilities that can be driven by the power of 'water seeds' and can bombard us."

Jacques sneered, "Originally, Kate was supposed to be in charge of taking care of those positions before we stormed in. Judging from the current situation, he's probably been blasted into a pulp by now!"

Caterpillar was startled to hear a name that seemed to be related to herself. Before she could ask any questions, she was mocked by the frog-headed Jacques, and her brows furrowed.

Ann noticed Caterpillar's emotions and leaned closer, whispering, "He wasn't always like that. He used to be a very kind person. He actually cried a lot and often took care of the younger children... But then one day, he said he would never cry again. After that, he changed, probably because of Rene. Rene changed too... Alan broke off with them, but I just..."

Caterpillar was stunned by Anne's words. Suddenly, as if waking from a dream, he hurriedly asked, "You remembered their names? You remembered them all? Then... do you remember who you are?"

Anne stared blankly at Caterpillar. "Huh? It's me, Anne. Did I just say my name? Ask Al and Jacques about the operation. Don't be fooled by their constant bickering; they actually have a good relationship."

Caterpillar's expression held a look of bewilderment, as if she had lost something.

Xu Ning comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, the story seems to have just begun. You have plenty of time to talk to her slowly."

Caterpillar was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "I know."

While the two were talking, Kong had already rushed towards the three water cannon positions using the steps and barriers formed by the illusionary water.

It must be said that the bubble bombs launched from these three water cannon positions were more powerful than expected.

However, due to its slow speed, it was easy for Kong to dodge and deal with it. Xu Ning lost interest after watching for a couple of seconds, found a stone stool to sit down, and slowly started drinking his wine.

When Kong jumped down from the platform, all the little animals cheered for him. Xu Ning also stood up and applauded him, which made Kong very embarrassed.

Xu Ning laughed and said, "It seems that with my brother here, rescuing your Princess Lilith should be no problem. But what will happen after defeating the dragon and rescuing the princess?"

The little cabbage raised a wing, "It will be the same as before!"

Al nodded. "Yes, just like before. The Kingdom of Narcissus has returned to its former shimmering glory. The princess is holding Little Cabbage, preening her feathers, and gently stroking her forehead. The memories lost by the water have returned. All her friends are laughing and surrounding the princess. Everything has returned to its happy and fulfilling state, with no more disputes or troubles."

Xu Ning smiled and sighed, "The same as before?"

Unsurprisingly, Jacques once again scoffed at Arles's statement.

"You don't actually think that rescuing Miss Lilith and saving the kingdom is the end of it, do you? Ha, reality isn't a fairy tale! It's because there are too many naive people like you that history keeps repeating itself. The next step, naturally, is to overthrow the deeply entrenched class system and distribution methods, and establish a fair and equal world. We'll start by...establishing...overthrowing...Hey! Listen to me properly..."

The little ones said they didn't understand and wobbled off towards the small fountain, leaving Jacques sulking.

Caterpillar looked at the frog with amusement. "When Jacob used to say these things, we all knew he was just imitating Rene's tone and way of speaking. But Rene rarely said these things to us. He had countless wild ideas in his head, and we often couldn't guess what he was thinking."

Xu Ning gave a puzzled "Oh," and then said, "But... don't you think the frog is actually right? Kong, what do you think?"

Kong smiled wryly, "I also think Jacques makes sense. After all, no one wants to have everything from the past engraved on a stone tablet in a world without a future, reading those memories over and over again until they grow old."

"But brother, if this tower corresponds to Teyvat, then what are these water cannon positions?"

Kong finally posed the question that had been puzzling him for so long to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning didn't answer him directly, but instead chuckled jokingly, "Why are you suddenly asking me? I don't believe you haven't read about things like these three cannons in the book."

Kong Ming racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't think of any book that contained anything related to these three cannons.

Paimon flew over intending to call Kong to come along, but after hearing this question, he also crossed his arms and pondered deeply.

"Where have you read about fortifications? There are three similar things, but they're not fortifications..."

Paimon was muttering to himself, and Kong, overhearing him, asked, "What three things are the same?"

Paimon raised his hand, but then realized he was still standing on the seabed, so he could only lower his hand and answer, "Yes, there are moons. Many books say that long ago, there were three moons in the sky..."

Kong was suddenly startled, "Which book?"

Paimon pondered, "It seems to be in several books about Liyue, like 'Bamboo Forest Moonlit Night' and 'Shattered Dreams.' I still like 'Shattered Dreams' the most..."

Kong turned to look at Xu Ning, "Why did they appear as water cannons? What are those three moons?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "What they were in the past doesn't matter anymore, after all, the book says that they eventually became enemies and parted ways with their deaths, with only one leaving behind a body that radiates a cold light in the sky..."

Upon entering this place, Kong felt fear for the first time regarding this fairy tale and couldn't help but swallow hard.

What will we see next?

Xu Ning raised his hand and took a sip of wine. "Who knows? Maybe there's nothing there at all..."
