Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 157 Convocation

While Qiuhe was pondering, Peruvier gently pinched his cheek, and Qiuhe snapped out of his thoughts. "Lei, what do we do next?"

Hearing Peruvieri's question, Akikawa glanced at Lily, who was still sleeping on the bed, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Kiri, what do you think?"

"How long will it take for Lily to recover?" After thinking for a moment, Che Hui replied, "Lily's dressings need to be changed at regular intervals."

The medicines we're using are just ordinary ones. If we had better medicine, I estimate we'd be better by tomorrow.

Upon hearing about a better medicine, Qiuhe suddenly remembered something, "I can take care of the medicine problem in a bit, once Lily has fully recovered..."

"Let's go find Erinus." Everyone was confused when they heard that they were going to find Erinus, and Clementine then asked:

"But Ley, didn't you say that guy named Erinas is dead? Where are we supposed to find him?"

"When powerful magical beasts or demon gods die, they leave behind their consciousness or some other remnant in the world, and Erinas's remains..."

"Right in Cangjing District," Qiuhe thought, "according to the plot, if I go to Haimo Village, I might actually encounter Erinas's consciousness."

Perhaps then the questions in my heart would be answered, but just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open violently.

Everyone was startled by the sudden noise and immediately turned around to look, only to see a foolish instructor standing in front of the door.

The instructor of the Fools, his face now menacing, spoke up: "Lady Kujavina has sent word that you must meet in the central hall."

"Leave now, don't dawdle!" Hearing this, everyone knew there was no need for pretense anymore; they were going to take direct, violent action.

At the same time, no one knew why they were being summoned to the central hall at this moment, but they thought that if they didn't go, the situation might become uncontrollable.

Finally, the group had no choice but to agree and were about to follow them out, but at that moment, the foolish instructor spoke up, "Didn't you understand a single word I said?"

"Lady Kujavina wants all of you to go," and everyone turned to look at Lily, who was resting on the bed.

Tian Yaochen then spoke up with a resentful look, "Hey, didn't you see she's covered in injuries? How can she go with her like this?"

Upon hearing this, the instructor from the Fools' Sect immediately placed his hand on the sword at his waist. "I said everyone has to go!" he declared, looking at the Fools' Sect instructor before him.

Everyone was at a loss. "This girl is badly injured and has difficulty getting out of bed. We don't know why her mother summoned us."

"But no matter what the matter is, calling someone injured like this over would probably be pointless," Qiuhe said at this moment.

But Qiuhe's response was that the foolish instructor instantly drew his sword and pointed it at Qiuhe's forehead, "I'll give you five more seconds."

"If you don't bring that little girl along, don't blame me for being impolite!" Seeing this, Cheyperovelli also exuded a strong murderous aura.

Especially for Peruvieri, seeing the person in front of him pointing a sword at Akikawa's head, the curse on his arm began to react.

Qiuhe simply stared intently at the foolish instructors before him, his gaze gradually sharpening, a fleeting purple light flashing in his pupils.

Then Qiuhe's forehead veins bulged, and his entire body began to radiate boundless killing intent. He then said, "What if I say no?"

Seeing the palpable killing intent emanating from the three children before him, the Fool's instructor recalled something Kujavina had said earlier.

He knew these children were special; if things really escalated to the point of no return, he feared his own body might not even be found.

Suddenly, the door behind them slammed shut. The fool instructor turned around abruptly and saw that it was Kelly who had closed the door.

Kailer could also see that the three of them were now harboring murderous intentions. If it were only Cherie and Peruvian, he might have tried to persuade them not to act impulsively.

Seeing that Qiuhe had murderous intent, Kailu trusted his choice and believed that he could also keep everyone from knowing what had happened.

Seeing this, the foolish instructor's previous arrogance vanished, and his face was covered in fine beads of sweat. In Qiuhe's hand...

At that moment, dark purple energy was gathering. Just as tensions were rising, a slight rustling sound came from behind, attracting their attention.

The killing intent in Qiuhe's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a look of confusion as if he had no idea what had just happened.

But then the others quickly turned around and saw that Lily was inching forward, as if she was trying to get down. They rushed over and helped her up.

Qiuhe then asked anxiously, "Lily, although your injuries have healed somewhat, you should still avoid moving around and rest in bed."

"Tell us what you want to do," Lily said, "Aren't we supposed to all go to the central hall?"

My injuries are better now, and I can move around again. Don't fight over me here; let's go together.

Seeing the forced, strong smile Lily managed, the others were at a loss for words. After a few seconds of hesitation, Qiuhe finally spoke:

“Lily, we can handle things here. You don’t need to force yourself. No one can force you to do anything unless we agree.”

Seeing this, Lily simply smiled and said, "I know, but, like Qiuhe said before, there's no need for such impulsive actions."

"I'm free to move around now, so you don't need to make things too complicated. We can all go together," Lily said, and everyone fell silent.

After a few moments of silence, Qiuhe smiled and slowly said, "Okay, let's all go together." Then, Qiuhe carried Lily on his back.

"But you're not in the right body to walk right now, I'll carry you," the group said, and they all walked out the door together. As they passed the Fool's Instructors at the door...

Qiuhe also glanced at the Fool Instructor with a very sharp look, at the Fool Instructor who had just felt his life was about to slip away.

Seeing this, they didn't dare utter a sound. In the end, the group only glared at the fool instructor before heading to the hall together.

Upon arriving at the hall, they discovered that it wasn't just the four of them who had been called; all the children of the Hearth House were now standing in the hall.

Qiuhe and his group were also puzzled by this scene, not understanding what was going on, but then they saw a stage surrounded by children.

Standing above was a fool instructor, and everyone realized that something needed to be announced. Kailer, looking helpless, began to speak:

"Hopefully, it's not an announcement that we can't leave the Hearth House area anymore." Everyone was a little nervous after hearing this, because if they really did that...

All subsequent plans fell through, and at that moment, Krevy noticed Kudjavina standing to the side of the podium, holding a potted plant in her hand.

He glanced in Clay's direction and slowly smiled, but after the events of the previous night, Clay...

Seeing that the smile on her face was not happy at all, but rather made her feel even more depressed, Qiuhe noticed Clay's reaction and then looked in the direction she was looking away.

Then they saw Kugavina. Akikawa didn't say anything, but simply pulled Kreeway aside. Kugavina maintained her smile.

Then he gestured to the foolish instructor on the podium, who then said, "So all the children are here."

Let me answer the questions in the children's minds: why we have gathered you all here today? You should know better than anyone else.

Before your mother took you in, you were all orphans wandering the world, some starving, some sleeping in the open.

Some were abandoned by their families, some were shunned by others, some had to fight wild dogs for food, and some had to fight monsters to survive. Your fate was destined to be lonely from birth.

But your mother changed your destiny, giving you new life, and the Hearth House did not restrict your activities, allowing you to grow up happily.

"You are allowed to roam freely in Fontainebleau, but instead of being grateful and trying to repay your mother for the rest of your lives, you even think about betraying her and running away."

As the instructor spoke, he winked at the debt collector beside him, who nodded in agreement. Then, the debt collector emerged from behind the podium.

They pulled out four children, all of whom were covered in injuries.
