Chapter 254
"Then why did you change later?" Rosalyne took a deep breath and asked.
"What if Celestia never wanted to bind humans, but wanted to protect humans?
We were all wrong!
The Abyss is our enemy, and inside the Fatui, many people are related to the Abyss!" Venti said after a long silence.
"The Abyss? Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could the Fatui be related to the Abyss? Don't slander us!" Signora was instantly dissatisfied when she heard Venti's words. Even the flames on her body were faintly uncontrollable.
"Actually, you have already started to believe it, haven't you?" Venti spread his hands and said pointedly: "Otherwise, you wouldn't have specifically run to Mondstadt to find me."
Signora was directly silent upon hearing this.
She did suspect that there was a problem with the Fatui. Of course, she mainly suspected the Jester and the others.
Now looking at Barbatos, it seems that he knows something, and even the Tsaritsa knows something.
It's just that the Tsaritsa arranged for her to go to Does Does Liyue at that time. Was this to protect her, or to let her continue the plan?
Or was it to let her investigate Mu Yang?
After all, this guy Mu Yang is also a huge hidden danger to the Fatui.
Taking a deep breath, Signora suppressed her emotions and thought about the current situation. Should she believe the Anemo Archon Barbatos?
There is one thing that makes Signora very helpless. She found that she clearly shouldn't believe this drunkard in front of her.
But when she saw the other party, she still chose to believe Venti's words.
I'm afraid that at this time, the Cryo Archon is also somewhat involuntary, right?
"Perhaps what you said is correct, but now we seem to be unable to do anything." After a long time, Signora sighed and said.
Although she really wanted to deny Venti's words and say that the Jester was loyal to the Cryo Archon, considering the reality, Signora had to face reality.
But considering the strength of the Jester and the others, Signora found that she had no way for the time being.
Because the Cryo Archon usually falls into a deep sleep, and the power of Snezhnaya and the Fatui is usually in the hands of the Jester and the Fatui Harbingers.
This led to the fact that there were not many people in Snezhnaya who didn't listen to the Jester.
If the Cryo Archon doesn't appear, the Jester is the one who has the final say in Snezhnaya.
Yeah, if Fontaine is Liu Shan and Zhuge Liang, then Snezhnaya is Sima Yi's routine.
Even the Jester was found by the Cryo Archon herself...
"Can't you find a way to break the game?" Seeming to see Signora's concerns, Venti's eyes turned and he asked Signora.
"Yeah. Could it be that you have a way?
As a Fatui Harbinger of Snezhnaya, I know the horror of the Fatui better than anyone." Signora shook her head slightly.
For the current Venti, Signora has no malice, and this Anemo Archon is still willing to enlighten herself at this time. Signora, to be honest, still has mixed feelings.
She now understands Rostam's intentions back then.
Perhaps there are many unpleasant, even disgusting things in this country, but Mondstadt also has many beautiful things, and these things are worth them giving their lives to protect.
Just like now, although Rostam is dead, there are still legends of Rostam in Mondstadt.
It is even said that during this period, two statues were built in Mondstadt, specifically to commemorate a couple who sacrificed themselves to protect Mondstadt five hundred years ago: Rostam and Rosalyne.
Although Signora herself disdains such glory.
Back then, she gave everything to help Rostam, but the people she saved rejected her. At that time, Signora was also heartbroken.
But Signora still cared very much about Rostam's reputation.
If Rostam could be remembered through the ages and become a legend of Mondstadt, Signora would be very happy.
After all, Rostam is already dead and cannot be resurrected. Signora hopes that others can still remember Rostam.
As for herself, she really doesn't care at all.
Just thinking that the Jester and the others might have cooperation with the Abyss makes Signora's heart full of gloom.
For the Abyss, Signora hates it to the extreme. Usually, when dealing with the Abyss Order, Signora never holds back, and even many tasks that were not originally Signora's, Signora takes the initiative to attack the Abyss Order.
She hates Khaenri'ah, hates the Abyss, and also hates the Abyss Order.
If it weren't for the people of Khaenri'ah contacting the power of the Abyss and triggering the Cataclysm, Rostam wouldn't have died.
So all this is the fault of the Abyss and Khaenri'ah.
Because of the Cryo Archon before, Signora also intentionally or unintentionally ignored the Jester's identity. This guy seems to be a Khaenri'ah person too, which means the opponent is also her enemy.
If the Jester has always been cooperating with the Abyss Order, then he is an enemy she will never die with.
Does the Tsaritsa know about these things?
This also made Signora fall into deep thought, but very quickly, Signora shook her head. Regardless, she needs to save the Cryo Archon.
"My divine power has always been maintaining the wind of Mondstadt," Venti said with a gentle voice as a breeze appeared in his hand: "Unless it is a last resort, it is impossible for me to use my full strength. Otherwise, the wind of Mondstadt will undergo huge changes.
Even becoming the situation of thousands of years ago."
Signora was silent upon hearing this. She only learned about this some time ago.
No matter how this guy usually is, he is indeed very competent in major events. As a former citizen of Mondstadt, she should indeed express her gratitude to Venti.
After all, on the entire Teyvat continent, Mondstadt's climate is the most pleasant and the most suitable for human survival.
Her life back then was indeed quite good, and this was all maintained by Venti consuming his divine power.
Thinking of this, Signora's gaze toward Venti was full of softness. This Anemo Archon is probably the most difficult one among the Seven Archons, right?
Always maintaining divine power, his erosion might already be very serious, right?
Then how much time can he persist now?
"However, I have no way to help you, but there are people who have ways to help you solve the problem.
For that person, wanting to defeat the entire Fatui and Snezhnaya is not something that is really impossible to do," Venti then said to Signora while sipping wine.
"Are you talking about Mu Yang?" Regarding Mu Yang's strength, Signora didn't doubt it. Signora suspected that Mu Yang was actually at the Archon level, but after seeing the opponent completely kill the Doctor, Signora and the Fatui had already begun to analyze Mu Yang's real strength.
The opponent's strength is very likely to be a leader among the Seven Archons.
It might even be more powerful than the Cryo Archon.
Think about it carefully, if Mu Yang is willing to help, maybe her current predicament can really be solved.
It's just how to get Mu Yang to help, which is also what Signora is struggling with. She and Mu Yang don't have any relationship.
Mu Yang seems to like beauties, but they don't have any beauties in Snezhnaya. Could it be that she has to introduce the Cryo Archon to Mu Yang? What kind of thing would that be?
"Yeah!" Venti nodded slightly: "To tell you the truth, like your Fatui, Mu Yang is also collecting Gnosis.
As far as I know, he has already collected four Gnosis."
"Your Anemo Gnosis has already fallen into Mu Yang's hands?" Signora was shocked upon hearing this: "In that case, the Geo Gnosis is also in Mu Yang's hands. The Electro Archon Beelzebul has an extraordinary relationship with him, and the Electro Gnosis is also something he can get easily.
Mu Yang appeared in Sumeru before, thinking it was also for the Dendro Gnosis.
Otherwise, Mu Yang seems to have no reason to help Lesser Lord Kusanali, and afterward, Lesser Lord Kusanali also closed the Akasha device.
At that time, Lesser Lord Kusanali said that the Akasha system was destroyed by the Doctor. Regarding this, we didn't doubt it at the time.
After all, this matter is indeed something the Doctor would do.
But now it seems that the Dendro Gnosis has probably fallen into Mu Yang's hands as a bargaining chip."
I didn't expect that the God of Wisdom would also deceive her believers like this.
But thinking about it carefully, for the Sumeru people, this seems to be the best solution.
Lesser Lord Kusanali also has no ability to keep that Gnosis.
Venti nodded slightly upon hearing this: "The bargaining chip to save the Cryo Archon, in fact, you already have it, don't you?"
"But what is the use of Gnosis to Mu Yang? Could it be that he can use all Gnosis at the same time?" Signora frowned. To be honest, if it is to collect Gnosis, Gnosis in Mu Yang's hands is more troublesome than in other gods' hands.
On one hand, Mu Yang's strength is too strong. On the other hand, they, the Fatui, can cause trouble in the countries of the Seven Archons and even trade with the Seven Archons, but now, the situation is different. If they want to trade with Mu Yang, they don't seem to have this qualification.
Even at this time, Barbatos actually suggested that she take the Tsaritsa's Gnosis as a transaction to save the Tsaritsa who might have been imprisoned by the Jester and the others.
If it weren't for Signora herself investigating some information and still recognizing Barbatos, Signora would want to choke Barbatos and ask what kind of heart this guy has.
"To defeat the Maintainer of Heavenly Principles and protect the Teyvat continent in the Abyss, Mu Yang is the best choice," Venti drank the dandelion wine in his hand.
