Chapter 261

Furina sighed in her heart and didn't think too much.

Not long after, Neuvillette came back with a dossier.

He casually placed the dossier on the cabinet and sat calmly opposite Furina to look through the next trial document.

"Lady Furina, you are very strange today. In the past, no matter what happened, you would never miss a grand trial, the farce you speak of."

In the past, Furina would have argued with him more or less, but now, Furina just threw the photo to Neuvillette.

Somewhat distressed, she said:

"Clorinde, tell your intelligence."

"Yes, Lady Furina."

Clorinde nodded and looked at Neuvillette, saying softly:

"About a month ago, a thunder storm erupted in Liyue that shook the entire Teyvat. This thunder storm was born very strangely and didn't look like a natural generation."

"Later, Lady Furina sent a consultation message to Liyue, but the reply was just a perfunctory Geo Archon undergoing the tribulation."

Neuvillette frowned slightly, feeling somewhat strange in his heart.

During this period, the struggle between Fontaine's upper echelons and the Fortress of Meropide was somewhat frequent, and there were also some things in the Narzissenkreuz Ordo.

He was almost too busy to leave the opera house.

He knew Furina went to ask Liyue, but he didn't know what the specific reply was.

Geo Archon undergoing the tribulation?

What kind of outrageous reason was this?

Neuvillette didn't interrupt Clorinde, who continued:

"Later, we received photos and information from the intelligence organization."

"Liyue suspected that a cultivator had arrived, and that thunder storm was related to that cultivator."

"So I went to Liyue to investigate personally and confirmed……"

"Liyue is really going to start cultivating!"

Neuvillette looked up instantly, staring straight at Clorinde, who handed the cultivation novel published by Liyue to Neuvillette.

She slowly told her findings in Liyue again.

Even Furina, who had heard it once, still felt it was outrageous.

Let alone Neuvillette, who had no psychological preparation at all.

After an unknown amount of time, Clorinde's voice was somewhat hoarse, and she finally finished telling it in detail.

Neuvillette's brows were already tightly knitted into a 'chuan' shape.

He kept flipping through the novel in his hand, and after a long while, he closed it and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

"Martial artists, cultivation, Shushan……"

"Why would the small Teyvat welcome such an expert?"

"And the turmoil in the Dark Sea that we detected more than half a month ago……"

Clorinde's voice was somewhat hoarse, and she whispered:

"Small rumors say that…… that Shushan Headmaster needs to catch a batch of Archons to fill the newly opened Shushan world."

"Opening a world……"

Neuvillette felt a tremor in his heart.

An expert who can open a world, why would such a character come to Teyvat?

Clorinde thought for a moment and added:

"According to reliable news, Liyue's Tianquan, Yuheng, the Liyue Qixing secretaries, as well as the Geo Archon and all the Adepti, have all joined Shushan."

"Rumors in the streets also say that someone saw the Anemo Archon enter Shushan."

"If the rumors are true, then Shushan now already has two Archons who have joined."

"If according to the cultivation novels, that Shushan Headmaster has the strength to easily subvert Teyvat."

"Cultivation is also the true path to immortality."

"Therefore, for the Shushan Mountain-Opening Ceremony in twenty days, hundreds of thousands have already signed up."

"At that time, Shushan will select thousands of disciples to enter."

"Liyue is already surging with wind and clouds."

Neuvillette took a deep breath and said softly:

"Thank you for your hard work, Clorinde."

"So, the token on your waist……"

Hearing this, Clorinde nodded.

"This is the proof of passing the initial screening. With this proof, you can enter Shushan to participate in the Mountain-Opening Ceremony."

"It seems you also have your own opportunity."

Neuvillette examined it and found that it had no magical power; it was probably just made by the people of Liyue Harbor.

"Are you done?"

Furina finally spoke, looking at Neuvillette somewhat irritably:

"Use your smart brain! Neuvillette!"

"Liyue is already going to start cultivating, we must have some reaction!"

Neuvillette turned to look at Furina and said softly:

"Reaction? There are only two choices in front of us: either continue to pretend we don't know, or join in."

"Lady Furina, which one do you want to choose?"

Furina was somewhat silent.

In this kind of matter, is it still useful to pretend we don't know now?

Cultivation is absolutely a good thing from every angle.

If it were a normal situation, Furina would have decided to participate in cultivation long ago.

But right now, everything has entered the most critical period.

The five-hundred-year plan has reached the point of landing, what if?

What if cultivation can't solve Fontaine's problem, wouldn't even the plan she had already prepared be gone?

Furina couldn't afford this responsibility. It seemed like just a decision on whether to join Shushan to cultivate.

In fact, it was a choice concerning the life and death of Fontaine.

She couldn't make such a decision casually.

Neuvillette looked at Furina thoughtfully, then opened the novel and said calmly:

"If this book was released by Liyue officially, then many things on it are worth pondering."

"Cultivators need spiritual energy to cultivate, and everything in the world needs spiritual energy."

"The book says that there are fierce beasts and monsters in the cultivation world that evolve by absorbing spiritual energy."

"Now that cultivators have appeared, monsters and fierce beasts must also truly exist."

"Besides that, it seems that after that thunder storm, the Primordial Sea of Authority under Fontaine has also calmed down a lot."

"We can also be considered to have a little breathing room."

"I don't know what you are worried about, Lady Furina, perhaps it is that so-called prophecy."

"But you are the Hydro Archon, and the final decision is in your hands."

"How to choose, it's up to you, but I still want to say one thing……"

Neuvillette paused and said somewhat helplessly:

"It seems we have two choices, but in fact, we only have one."

"According to what Clorinde said, Liyue has no autonomy in the screening for Shushan's Mountain-Opening Ceremony."

"That is to say, as long as someone from other countries meets the requirements and goes to Liyue, they need to let them pass."

"Immortality, shining with the sun and moon, I think no one can refuse."

"The other seven nations will all participate in it. In fact, we have no other choice."

Hearing this, Furina glared at Neuvillette somewhat unhappily.

"Then you still said let me choose! I have no choice!"

After saying this, Furina sighed and supported her chin with one hand.

"The situation is already like this, cultivation is something we need to try no matter what."
