Chapter 654

"The three questions at the time were as follows:"

"Question one:

What is as cold as a dead thing while alive, but can send a gentle, warm breeze to people after it passes away?"

"Question two:

What rises from the earth to the heavens, and falls from the heavens to the earth!

What has no one ever witnessed, yet it gazes upon everything!

What is as pleasant above as it is below, and below as it is above!

What can only go from top to bottom, but never from bottom to top?"

"Question three:

What cannot withstand an arrow, yet can withstand destruction!

What cannot destroy armor, yet can destroy a city-state!

What yields neither to the envoys of the high heavens, nor to the nations of the earth!

What can neither demon god nor evil spirit overcome, no matter how much effort they exert?"

……

No one thought themselves stupid!

And so, upon hearing these three questions, the people in the chat group immediately became interested.

Besides, these were the very questions the Goddess of Flowers used to test the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata back then!

If they could answer one or two correctly, or even come close, wouldn't they also possess a fraction of the God of Wisdom's power?

Thinking of this, everyone began to itch to try.

【Transcendental Chat Group】

【Lumine: These are the Goddess of Flowers' test questions! Come, come, come, everyone guess! The time has come to judge whether you are the God of Wisdom!】

【Paimon: Count me in! But Nahida and the people of Sumeru cannot participate or give spoilers!】

【Alice: That's right, that's right! You must know something! So this time, there's no room for you! (Eating melon. emoji)】

Seeing this, Nahida and the other people of Sumeru were also left between laughter and tears.

But they did indeed know!

So it was truly inappropriate for them to speak!

Thinking of this, they one by one began to watch the show and eat melons.

【Barbara: The first question, simply put, is cold while alive, and warm after passing away!】

【Hu Tao: This Hall Master knows, this Hall Master knows this one!】

【Hu Tao: The answer is the furnace the Wangshengtang uses to cremate bodies!】

【Hu Tao: Some guests request cremation, so we use this!】

【Hu Tao: Look! When the guest is alive, this thing is cold, but when the guest passes away, this thing is warm!】

【Hu Tao: How about it? Isn't that very logical!】

Originally, the people in the chat group were still curious about what Hu Tao would answer.

They never expected her to come up with an incinerator!

But strangely, her words had a certain logic to them!

At this, everyone was rendered speechless.

A moment later,

【Chef Xiangling: As expected of you, Hu Tao! This answer is very Hu Tao!】

【Zhong Li: *Cough cough*, Hall Master has great talent! But this thing should be impossible...】

【Venti: Ehe, if the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had actually answered this, that scene would have been quite interesting!】

【Miss Ganyu: The Goddess of Flowers and King Deshret would definitely be completely bewildered! (Covering mouth to laugh. jpg)】

【Hu Tao: ……】

Hu Tao felt a bit depressed.

She just thought this answer was great!

There simply couldn't be a better answer than an incinerator!

【Miss Miss Miss Keqing: *Cough cough*, let's look at the second question. Simply put, what can go from top to bottom, but cannot go from bottom to top!】

【Arataki Itto: Wahahahaha, this question is too simple! Or rather, there are too many answers!】

【Arataki Itto: For example, an apple on a tree!】

【Arataki Itto: After an apple falls, it goes from top to bottom, but it can't go from bottom to top!】

【Kaedehara Kazuha: *Cough cough*, Brother Itto, if there is a strong wind blowing, it can also go from bottom to top.】

【Kujou Sara: You might as well answer with this guy's IQ! (Contempt. jpg)】

【Arataki Itto: Brother Kazuha makes sense, but what does the Tengu woman mean? (Confusion. jpg)】

【Yae Miko: It means you will become stupider and stupider~ (Fox-like smile. jpg)】

【Arataki Itto: What? You actually called me stupid? You detestable Tengu woman! I want to duel you!】

【Kuki Shinobu: Boss... (Facepalm. jpg)】

Seeing this, everyone's expressions became strange.

Whether this Arataki Itto's answer was correct, they didn't know.

But this person...

Seemed to truly look a bit unintelligent~!

【Charlotte: *Cough cough*, let's look at the third question. Does anyone have a guess?】

【Navia: Time? Or perhaps erosion?】

【Chiori: It feels a bit like it, but it also feels like it's missing something.】

【Furina: It should be "wisdom", right? (Guessing. jpg)】

【Clorinde: Eh? This seems quite fitting!】

【Neuvillette: Indeed! Lady Furina's answer is not bad!】

【Lumine: Didn't expect Furina to be this smart? That's unscientific! (Surprise. jpg)】

【Paimon: Yeah, she clearly looks like a ditz! (Surprise. jpg)】

【Furina: ？？？】

Furina had a face full of question marks.

What do you mean it's unscientific for me to be smart?

What do you mean I look like a ditz?

Come, come, come!

I promise I won't beat you to death!

Afterwards, the people in the chat group discussed for a while longer.

But apart from Furina's "wisdom", there wasn't a single suitable answer.

It always felt like it was missing that little something.

After all, if it were really that simple, the Goddess of Flowers wouldn't have used it for a test.

And so, everyone's gaze turned back to the light curtain.

……

Villa.

Luo Chen had also guessed that Teyvat would discuss it, so he left them some time.

Seeing that their discussion was about finished, he continued to speak at this moment.

"First, let me describe the background of this test!"

"At the time, the Goddess of Flowers and King Deshret came to test her with the intention of forming an alliance."

"If the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata passed, then the alliance would proceed smoothly!"

"If the answer was unsatisfactory..."

"Then it would be hard to say!"

"When all is said and done, this was the era of the Archon War!"

"And King Deshret was the one with the greatest strength!"
