Chapter 30 Life and Food, People and Honkai Impact

Three days later, something happened that stopped Yae Sakura from going to teach at St. Freya Academy.

Schools across China are starting their summer vacation one after another.

This summer vacation, Wutong is going to take his "children" on a trip to see the world.

Only when you have seen the beauty of the world can you live for an ideal life.

In fact, Wutong prefers to stay at home compared to traveling, because he has visited almost every corner of the planet and has long been tired of seeing the beautiful scenery, but the children need to go for a walk.

In view of the fact that every time this season comes, there will be a "summer vacation tourism craze" in China, and there are many tourists from various domestic scenic spots, so Wutong has set its sights abroad.

Although there are a lot of foreign tourists, it can be better.

The first stop he planned to visit was... Provence.

Provence is located in the southeast of France, bordering Italy and on the Mediterranean Sea. The region produces high-quality wine and is known as the "City of Knights" in Europe. It is the birthplace of the knightly lyric, an important literary genre in the Middle Ages.

The most famous thing about Provence is lavender. It is known as the hometown of lavender and is one of the three major origins of lavender in the world. The other two origins are Furano in the far east of China and the Ili Valley in the western region of China.

Every year in July and August, the lavender in Provence blooms in the wind, which is a good time to travel here.

Because they were traveling, Wutong and others did not use the portal to rush. He drove a satellite-level floating battleship.

Siegfried, who learned the news from Sirin, led Cecilia and his daughter to Provence in advance, "blocking" Wutong and his party.

Siegfried is already a mother, and she shamelessly defines herself as a child and wants to travel with them.

So does Cecilia.

Their daughter's name is Bianca Shaniyat Kaslana. Little Bianca was only 19 months old and less than two years old. However, she has entered the "explosion period" of language and can speak many sentences. .

Perhaps because of Cecilia's good genes, Bianca has been very smart since she was a child. Except that she looks like Siegfried, she looks nothing like her.

Siegfried inherited the excellent genes of the Kaslana family. He looked stupid when he was a child, and he is not smart now.

Accommodation in Provence is quite unique, ranging from luxury hotels in the city to B&B farms in the countryside, all of which can provide a comfortable rest environment and local food.

However, Wutong and others still chose to rest on the battleship because it was more comfortable here.

Moreover, although French food is good and ranks first in Western cuisine, it is good to try local dishes. The French food made by Linmei is more "authentic" and delicious than that made by French chefs.

Not only that, as a "caring little cotton-padded jacket", Linmei will also adjust and improve the taste of different dishes according to different people's tastes.

It's not without reason that Lin Neng became Wutong's most pampered and doting person.

The weather in Provence is cloudy and sunny, sometimes warm and gentle, sometimes showery and windy. The summer here is hot and prone to thunderstorms.

Wutong and others were lucky. When they arrived, it happened to be a sunny and windy day.

The sky is as blue as a gem, transparent and refreshing, and the air is filled with the aroma of lavender, thyme, pine... which is refreshing.

The lavender all over the mountains and plains are undulating and rippling like the waves of the ocean, reflecting the quiet and elegant scenery of small towns and villages. The simple, leisurely and slow life of the quiet years is the portrayal of this place.

Don't be surprised by the favor or disgrace, just watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court.

There is no intention to stay or go, just follow the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky.

"Brother-in-law, why do I seem to hear someone crying? Is it little Rita?"

Suzuto wore a lavender wreath and ran back from the flower field with Hitamaru.

Wutong is doing barbecue. For him, all ingredients can be grilled.

Mainly because it’s easier to cook this way.

"Well, I was bitten by a snake."

"?"

Ling originally thought that Wutong, who was doing nothing serious, made little Rita cry, but she didn't expect that she had wronged her brother-in-law.

"What snake?" Ling asked.

She took off the wreath on her head and placed it on top of Wutong's head, then stretched out her hand and grabbed the steak.

"Snapped!"

Wutong slapped Ling's hand away and said: "It's not ripe yet, don't be in a hurry to eat it. How can you have the same moral character as your sister? You're like a greedy fox who likes to eat secretly.

"Rita was bitten by a snake raised by Mebius. Don't worry, it's a black snake and it's not venomous, but her hand was bitten and bleeding."

"what happened?"

"Kiana led Rita to play with the snake..."

"Okay, no need to say more, I understand. Where is little Kiana?"

The father is unreliable, and the daughter does nothing serious every day.

"I was hoisted up by Xiaoba and hung on the stern of the boat. I'm doing some self-reflection."

"Where's the snake?"

"It's in the pot, I'm going to make a stew."

"..."

Ling suddenly felt that the snake was so pitiful.

Wutong seemed to have guessed what his sister-in-law was thinking, and said: "Don't feel sorry for it, it is destined to be used as food or medicine, and it will go into the pot sooner or later. If you always think like this, stop eating, and you can save some food. Plant and animal life is life.”

"If you don't want to eat, I won't eat! Unlike you, I have love!"

"The steak is cooked

. "

"Ah~"

Ling opened her mouth very spinelessly, waiting for her brother-in-law to feed her.

Hitamaru on the side also followed Suzu's example and opened her mouth, expecting her eldest brother-in-law to give her a bite of the barbecue.

Little Hitamaru behaved even more embarrassingly, with drool leaving the corners of his mouth.

Wutong divided the steak into several portions with a knife and gave each of them a portion. In the meantime, he tasted it himself.

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Hitamaru was very satisfied, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

"Thank you, brother-in-law, I'm going to see Rita." Ling said with satisfaction after eating the barbecue, "Bake more, I'll come down to eat later."

"Okay, go ahead."

Seeing the two little foxes who like barbecue leaving, not far away, Bella, who was sitting on the swing, put away her mobile phone and walked over.

"Brother Wutong." Bella called softly.

"Want to eat?"

"No, I'm not hungry, I just wanted to ask a question."

"Just ask."

"Do you think humans can defeat Honkai?"

"Ha." Wutong chuckled, "Can't you say something that can make people relaxed and happy?"

"Sorry, I can't think of anything relaxing and pleasant for the moment." Bella paused and added, "After all, I owe so much money, I'm under a lot of pressure, and I'm not very happy every day."

"Okay... As for whether we can defeat Honkai..."

Wutong thought for a while and said: "It depends on which aspect you look at it. If we say that we can completely eliminate Honkai, in my opinion, it is almost impossible, but if we say that we can defeat temporary Honkai, this can still be done. Made it happen.”

"I do not really understand."

"What do you think "collapse" is? "

Bella thought for a while and said: "A kind of disaster, a kind of energy, a kind of tool, a kind of...unpredictable will of God."

"Well, what you said is correct, but not entirely... What do you think a person is?" Wutong asked again.

"Complex...animals?...Sorry, I don't know."

"You're right, don't be so unsure."

Wutong smiled and said: "The definition of 'human' is very broad. 'Human' can be defined from various levels such as biology, spirituality, culture, etc. It is also a combination of these definitions."

"The same is true for "Honkai", its definition is also very broad.

“Honkai is very similar to humans, and has an extremely close relationship with humans, because humans are the dominant species on this planet, so if you want to completely defeat humans, destroying all humans is one of the known methods.

“I can do this alone, but I can’t do this, right?

"Similarly, if you want to eliminate the collapse of the gods, you must kill all the gods."

"..."

Bella suddenly felt that Wutong's mind was more like a Herrscher than hers.

Seeing Bella's silence, Wutong took a sip of cold beer and continued: "I have told many people that the real enemy of mankind is mankind itself.

“The meaning of this sentence is actually very broad, not only referring to the fact that human beings will die from power and desire, internal strife and war, the environment polluted by humans themselves, etc.

"It also refers to the fact that since the birth of the human species, we have been on the road of death, slowly moving towards the end of death. This process of self-destruction that is not controlled by human will is like a person from The process from birth to death.

“‘Nothing’ is the starting point and the end of all things. Even the seemingly omnipotent gods cannot achieve eternity.

“So, the definition of Honkai is very broad, but it’s also very simple.

"Honkai is just a concrete manifestation of the process that leads human beings to death, and it also acts as a 'catalyst'.

“The collapse that humans can come into contact with is the product of the civilization created by humans themselves.

“In other words, Honkai is human.

“Even if Honkai Energy had never appeared, the human species would have gradually died, but not so quickly.

"The difference between whether there is collapse or not, for humans, is that one is "accidental death" and the other is "natural death."

"Therefore, our victory over Honkai can also be understood as our elimination of "accidents" for the human species.

"This is to overcome temporary collapse."
