Thinking about it now, even the Tree King couldn't help but blush.
Under the puzzled and curious gazes of the two, the diseased tree in 'Fukaros's' hand instantly turned into a small branch—because this was a dream world, and the tree was not actually a physical entity, so its appearance was quite manipulable; it was merely an external manifestation.
"Watch it~"
Holding the small twig in front of her eyes, as if by magic, she used the magical techniques she had received from Wilvi... or perhaps magical techniques? The blue-and-white-haired girl brought the twig to her mouth and performed a 'disappearance magic trick'.
Post-meal... Magic Show Reflections:
...It tastes a bit astringent.
P.S.: After being transported to the Starry Sky Railway, Nan Zhu thought he could travel through the starry sea with the help of the system.
Unexpectedly, the first beginner task given by the system was extremely difficult and almost impossible to complete.
Task: [Assist Lan in cutting down the Jianmu tree].
The Jianmu tree has been broken for five thousand years, how can it still assist Lan?
Mission: [Defeat the global insect plague].
Haven't there been global insect plagues for thousands of years? How can we possibly defeat this one?
Mission: [Defeat the Herrscher of the End and save Earth].
Wait a minute, why is Earth involved?
Was the system too early, or was I late?
The system's task seemed hopeless, but Nanzhu inadvertently discovered a brand-new way to complete it.
Just as Nan Zhu was busy completing tasks and racking up rewards, something extraordinary seemed to come out of the mouth of the fictional historian.
Chapter 276 With witnesses and physical evidence, what crime should you be charged with?
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao's 'disappearance magic trick,' the two badminton ladies were both stunned.
They waited for a moment, and 'Fukaros' remained in that position, staring at each other with wide eyes.
"and then?"
"It's over already~" 'Fukaros' blinked, spreading her hands with an innocent expression:
"Hasn't the problem already been solved?"
You see, the Tree King wants to destroy the 'original body' that contains forbidden knowledge, while Nasita doesn't want the Great Compassionate Tree King to die as a result.
Then, wouldn't it be enough to just make it 'disappear'?
Jiang Qiao said, "I'm exactly doing what you were thinking of doing!"
The Great Tree King's eyes widened – what he said actually makes a lot of sense...
The next moment, the Tree King, the former goddess of wisdom, launched a 'flying pounce' and landed directly on 'Fukaros's' face.
"Purge my body out!!!"
The Tree King, its rage at its peak, frantically used its weight to shake the former as if playing a rocking horse, 'roaring' with its childish yet rational and furious words.
They definitely need to be eliminated, but who told you to do it this way?
Putting aside the fact that it's her own body, just the fact that she swallowed the 'forbidden knowledge' contained within it in one gulp—if something went wrong, wouldn't even the God of Justice of Fontaine be in trouble? How could she face Agoria like that!
Of course, what made the rational and gentle Tree King even more 'angry' was that after her body was eaten, the strange feeling of being wrapped in something soft, sticky, and hot was 'torturing' her senses.
For the Great Tree King, who had never experienced this feeling before, the stimulation was somewhat too great.
It's hard to imagine that the benevolent Great Tree King would be riding on another person's back, prying open someone's mouth, anxiously trying to 'cry' out, with flushed cheeks and biting his lips, trying to pluck something with his chubby little hands.
Unfortunately, this effort was clearly in vain.
No matter how hard you try to save your 'body', it's already too late.
After all, this is a world of dreams.
What appears here now, whether it's the two badminton ladies or Mr. Jiang Qiao who outwardly appears as 'Fukalos', is actually closer to a 'spiritual' state.
With his exceptionally good 'absorption...cough cough, digestion' ability, Jiang had already 'devoured' Miss Jie.Badminton the moment he swallowed the body of the Great Tree King.
The Tree King, who now appears to be struggling frantically, has essentially entered Jiang Qiao's 'stomach'. It's just that the special nature of this dream allows her to maintain this image as an independent individual—but the Great Compassionate Tree King, as the person involved, shouldn't be too aware of her current state.
She sighed, seemingly accepting the situation, but still glared angrily at 'Fukaros':
"What you're doing is too risky!"
Compared to Naxida, the Great Tree King was certainly wiser, and she also saw why Jiang Qiao did what she did.
It is clear that 'Fukaros' is on Narcida's side.
The Tree King was naturally very happy about this, after all, each of them was fighting against him because they didn't want him to leave like this.
However, this also makes her feel helpless and annoyed.
After all, if he were to exist while carrying forbidden knowledge, the creatures of Teyvat might be harmed again—and the Tree King simply didn't have the confidence to continue staying in Sumeru in this state.
After all, the poison of forbidden knowledge is something that even demons can be affected by.
Even Ahmar, although he did create an unprecedentedly glorious civilization with that knowledge, as a friend, the Tree King witnessed firsthand the changes in the Crimson King before and after obtaining the forbidden knowledge.
Although it wasn't outwardly apparent, in the eyes of the goddess of wisdom, the Red King had already gone down the wrong path and was deeply affected by it. The Tree King even sincerely tried to persuade his dear friend to turn back, and the final result was obvious.
Even a powerful god like Ahmar ultimately met such an end. The Tree King, who did not achieve this through force but through unconventional means, knew that if he followed the same path as the Red King, he would definitely not have a good ending.
Because it is very special and pure as the will of the World Tree, it is also more easily affected by 'contamination'.
Just like before, he had to risk his life to stop forbidden knowledge from polluting the entire World Tree, just to clean up Ahmar's mess.
If I were alive today, under the influence of forbidden knowledge, a mad god of wisdom and the consciousness of the World Tree would be a tremendous disaster for the entire continent of Teyvat.
It is fortunate that consciousness can be separated.
I no longer have to face such a lonely end.
However, if it is separated from the essence of the World Tree, the Great Compassion Tree King, which is just a newly grown sapling, is absolutely unable to resist the contamination of forbidden knowledge.
Rather than betraying his original intentions and harming the people he loved, the Great Compassion Tree King would rather die.
"It's actually not that dangerous~"
"It's as simple as food being divided into different parts for digestion."
The blue-and-white-haired girl licked her lips and ran her slender index finger across them, looking extremely alluring.
Of course, Miss Tree King only felt angry, and she rolled her eyes in annoyance, saying:
"Don't talk to them like they're food...!"
"And is forbidden knowledge something that can be eaten?"
“Yeah, be careful not to get diarrhea from eating dirty things!” Nasita also realized and expressed her opinion with great dissatisfaction.
Although I was somewhat shocked and had mixed feelings about Jiang Qiao eating the Great Compassion Tree King, I could barely accept it if it could make the Tree King give up his suicidal thoughts.
The two badminton ladies are more concerned about whether Fukaros will be in trouble as a result of the fact that the Great Tree King has been "completely devoured".
"Who are you calling filthy?!" The Tree King said angrily, pulling at Nasita's face with a forced smile.
She could understand that Nasita was talking about forbidden knowledge, but after all, she would also be eaten along with them.
"It's okay, I have a strong digestive system~"
"But the taste is really not good... It's hard, astringent, and has a grassy smell... It's not tasty..." The blue-and-white-haired girl savored the taste for a moment, then subconsciously showed a look of disgust.
Without a doubt, at this moment, Miss Tree King's face darkened.
For the Great Tree King, whose 'self' was being eaten, Jiang's evaluation of the Great Tree King's taste was like a human's evaluation of something too 'red' during primitive reproduction—the younger sister could tolerate it, but the older sister could not!
"Who are you calling bad food... No, if it's bad, why did you eat it! I never asked you to eat it! If it's so awful, just spit it out—!"
Upon hearing about the aftertaste of 'Fukaros', the Tree King, whose anger had been fully aroused, instantly lost her composure, standing with her hands on her hips and glaring at the mess.
After taking advantage of someone, they actually said such things. It's outrageous!
How exactly does Egolia choose her successor? I heard that 'Fukaros' is one of Egolia's familiars. How does she train her familiars?!
Both annoyed and helpless, the Tree King, the god of wisdom, was deeply worried about the fact that Egolia's retinue had clearly gone astray.
Well, whether for the sake of Egolia or for the people of Fontaine, as the God of Wisdom, I have a duty to properly educate this ignorant and reckless deity!
At this moment, Miss Tree King felt that she had an inescapable responsibility in educating 'Fukalos'.
...
Mello Petersburg in Fontaine—this is the final destination for Fontaine's prisoners after trial, and also a place of exile for criminals.
"Really, that little guy actually ran away!"
After completing the formalities, Jiang Qiao—Fu Ningna—stood on the steel floor, complaining with some annoyance and helplessness.
She was understandably frustrated and speechless about the fact that the Water Goddess was imprisoned by her own laws.
Especially since one of the crimes didn't seem to be his fault, like taking a flying object, which was clearly because Jiang Qiao, that bad guy, hadn't paid attention... But honestly, he forgot to remind him of this law.
Feeling frustrated and resentful, Funina wished she could just reveal the truth—that she was the real water goddess.
