Chapter 2068: Chapter 2063: Dancer (9)
Pretending to receive Divine favor is indeed a way to explain the "blue eyes," and it even appears to be a reasonable approach.
Although essentially this is idle chatter while waiting, Fu Qian can confirm that Clara in front of him might seem a bit mysterious, but in essence, sheâs still just an ordinary person.
However, this doesnât mean that the content of the exchange lacks value.
From earlier until now, itâs evident that this person is quite concerned about one issue, which is the various feelings as a visitor to this city towards Lan Fylaâand indeed, isnât that the same for oneself?
A character with a somewhat strange request, yet exceptionally knowledgeable about this placeâhow she perceives all this, especially her views on the "inviolable," is also worth referencing for oneself.
And it seems Claraâs attitude is quite clear; she thinks that thing is useless.
This sentiment is almost identical to that of the dancer encountered earlier.
It must be said, itâs a reasonable and interesting response.
As is well-known, some traditions carrying beautiful hopes in various cultures often possess strong vitality.
They donât need to be effective; the mere placebo effect they bring might allow them to last for hundreds of years.
Conversely, if they are indeed effective, it might lead to risks in continuation.
This is also why Fu Qian believes Claraâs opinion is reasonable and deliberately inquires about the dancerâs experience.
But hereâs where it gets interestingâFu Qian is equally certain that the "inviolable" is currently effective.
The specific mode of action may not necessarily be to ward off disaster or prevent pregnancies, but the Transcendent effect must exist.
This confidence stems from being the bearer of authority.
How should one explain this contradiction?
Are the users blissfully unaware of the blessings they have, not realizing it?
Simultaneously, even though itâs genuinely effective, it hasnât sparked covetousness or vigilance from various parties, thus tenaciously persisting until now?
To make things reasonable, it seems we can only hypothesize this wayâbut thereâs actually a simpler possibility.
That is, it was originally ineffective, but it became effective after I arrived.
...
The original "inviolable," truly as Clara said, was merely a comforting illusion of Divine favor.
The reason why a group of people has the "breakpoints" representing Transcendent qualities is because I came into this task.
Once you bring in this point, doesnât it make things much more reasonable?
Thinking self-centeredly, it surprisingly doesnât seem entirely without merit.
The dancer and Clara werenât wrong; it was indeed useless before, and various Extraordinary Organizations werenât mere drunkardsâthey failed to detect the mystical power of this force for years.
However, if thatâs the case, the motive behind arranging this task becomes even more intriguing.
An emblem originally without impact, used by people for folk culture and to earn some extra income, doesnât seem to be blasphemous, does it, that there needed to be a special arrangement to deal with it?
Even the handling process might involve hazards.
Itâs undoubtedly a decision thatâs difficult to understandâunless a crisis is indeed brewing and "desecration" does not refer to this simple folklore activity.
In this seemingly lazy ancient city, an invisible change is happening.
And the earlier decision not to indiscriminately attack was the right one.
...
As the saying goes, communication makes progress, and everyone has their extractable value.
Quickly outlining a line of thought on the previous puzzles, Fu Qian felt that his money spent on coffee was well worth it.
Although this means having to deal with the "second cause" that permeates various aspects, requiring further in-depth analysis of this city.
Fortunately, I have a highly professional guide.
Along with a team that, although small in number, has its distinctive members.
"Another cup?"
Seeing Claraâs severe look while answering questions, Fu Qian, in a good mood, asked with a smile.
Not only is the price outrageous and the capacity tiny, but this shop even doesnât have any free refill service.
And opposite, someone clearly engaged in intense mental activity has already drained the cup in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you."
As expected, Clara was indeed not reserved.
"Itâs my pleasure. It was remarkable for you to handle the situation like that."
Waving his hand to indicate not to mind, Fu Qian revisited an old topic, highly praising Claraâs performance during the show.
Shouldnât you then return my money...
Regrettably, Clara didnât seem too appreciative at that time, not even bothering to be modest, but looked over with a strange expression.
The other party wasnât just bluffing but was truly sitting there swaggeringly, waiting for others to join as if...
Itâs hard to describe this with words like gall; perhaps non-human is more reasonable.
Even without speaking, Fu Qian could easily discern some emotions from it, while still keeping his smile.
As mentioned earlier, if those people indeed had the ability to call the police or the Night Watchman, it would be a sight Fu Qian would be glad to see.
Moreover, not wanting to miss the following carefully designed tourist route by the guide, this not-so-large tour group can also serve as a good observation sample to see their reactions after engaging with the city.
So if needed, he didnât mind treating everyone to coffee.
"Ah? Are you all already here?"
In the next moment, indeed more than one new customer stepped over that already-trodden threshold, entering one after another.
And the female guide who was leading at the front was visibly surprised to see Fu Qian and Clara drinking coffee face-to-face there.
It seems she was ready to look for people before arranging for the group to rest here.
"Well done, order whatever you want to drink."
Seeing the team regrouped, Fu Qian nodded and greeted them, showing ample generosity.
...
"Thank you."
Unexpectedly, the two troubling objects had preemptively come together, needing no concern from her.
You could see that the female guide experienced the beauty of life at that moment.
So much so that after a slight daze, she didnât even bother with a courteous refusal and sat down directly.
The remaining four did the same, and clearly, they gained a lot in this short time.
For instance, apart from the eldest uncle, everyone else had an "inviolable."
Among them, Mediterranean Brother was the most exaggerated, not only having it but also wearing a bunch of trinkets, entirely absorbed.
"Was everything smooth? Did you catch the show?"
Even after sitting down, she didnât forget to wink at Fu Qian mockingly, inquiring about his experience.
"I did, it was splendid."
Fu Qian replied truthfully.
"At the place I mentioned?"
The guide seemed surprised, clearly thinking theyâd missed the point before.
"No, a kind local took me to another place."
"Ah... any loss?"
The guide seemed concerned again.
"No."
Fu Qian patted his pocket, while Clara ultimately remained silent.
