Chapter 362

~7 min read 1,328 words

Furina was slightly relieved and said: "As for the pain... hmm... although the first thought in my mind is indeed why I have to endure the pain... but, anyway, if the prophecy really comes true, I will die too, right? What’s more, the 'wonder' has already found me."

She gradually became firm and said softly: "If there is a balance, one end is the lives of all Fontaine people, and the other end is my own pain, there’s no need to think about which side the balance will tilt toward, right?"

The person in the mirror told Furina the "way."

Now Fontaine has just lost its Hydro Archon, and the person in the mirror wants her to play the Archon.

"Don’t let anyone doubt your identity. If you can do it, I have a way to fight the prophecy... but once your identity is exposed, the last hope will disappear."

"Remember, the problem before you is not how to explore divinity, but how to fight human nature."

"Uh... I might still not understand, but I will try to do it." Furina nodded nervously and asked: "Then, when will my role as the Hydro Archon end?"

The person in the mirror said: "To complete this task, you might experience long years. Before the day it ends, you will not grow old."

"And I promise you, everything will end in a grand, theatrical trial, and everyone will be saved."

"A trial... how exciting and expectant."

Court of Fontaine.

Regarding the prophecy crisis, all Fontaine people looked at the light screen with heavy expressions.

Until now, emotional people already had eyes full of tears, and those with strong hearts also had red eyes.

Furina is the Hydro Archon in the Court of Fontaine, but she is more like a big star.

Too many people don’t know how many great achievements Lady Furina has.

And now, what they see is a "human."

At her young age, she bravely took on this task that could save the lives of all Fontaine people.

She is strong, even if she doesn’t know how long she has to play the Hydro Archon, she still took on this heavy responsibility.

She is clearly just a human, yet she is doing things comparable to an Archon!

Act 2? Inaugural Address? Furina

Although the Palais Mermonia had long announced Furina’s succession to the Hydro Archon, this was the first time facing the public directly, and Furina was a bit nervous.

Furina gathered her courage and began her inaugural address.

She performed very sincerely, stating that she was a new Archon and might not have much experience, but she was honored to be able to guide everyone.

After a polite ending, Furina felt very satisfied herself.

But the public didn’t buy it!

Some audience members mocked, some were disappointed, some suspected that Furina was just a puppet pushed up!

Furina was very panicked inside. She absolutely must not be exposed, otherwise, everyone wouldn’t be able to be saved from the prophecy!

Court of Fontaine.

"How could they be like this!" Someone roared with red eyes.

"What were our ancestors doing five hundred years ago?!" Someone asked loudly.

"I, I can understand it. At that time, we had just lost the Hydro Archon and were in a state of panic. If the one who took office was an Archon who wasn’t strong enough, then Fontaine..." Someone analyzed rationally.

"Understanding is understanding, but Lady Furina... wuwu... why let her suffer such grievances!" Someone felt sorry for their Archon.

Furina kept comforting herself in her heart, trying to calm down.

Strong, present, able to dispel all doubts... she was destined to play that image.

With an idea, Furina’s expression changed. She seemed to be a natural actor capable of taking on this heavy responsibility.

She performed an Archon who was confident, bold, and interesting.

For a time, the audience approved and felt relieved, and their views on her were reversed.

Sincerity would be met with suspicion, so Furina performed very exaggeratedly.

A polite ending would also be met with suspicion, so Furina simply said: "There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by a trial, as long as you... my people, firmly believe in justice in your hearts."

"As long as it is in this Opera Epiclese, before this Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, I, the Archon Focalors, can even judge the gods of the world!"

The heart-shaking ending made the audience extremely excited, and the scene was full of warm applause and cheers.

The newly appointed Archon is fully capable of leading them out of the panic and confusion after the death of the previous Hydro Archon!

Act 3? Opera House? Furina

Someone handed the case report and subsequent processing results to Furina, but Furina was not interested. She said she was looking forward to a grand, theatrical, wonderful trial that could end everything.

That person couldn’t guess, but Furina said the trial she was looking forward to would come one day.

She remembered the audience who had an audience with her and even cared about the condition of the other party’s son. The audience member said she was truly a gentle and wise Archon.

She cared about the prophecy crisis and had people start an investigation, but some parameters were still not optimistic.

All kinds of signs indicated that the prophecy would still happen.

Furina pretended that she had everything under control and rewarded their spirit.

This day finally ended.

Playing the Hydro Archon for a day almost didn’t give her a moment to breathe.

However, what is gratifying is that it has slowly gotten on the right track, and there are no more suspicious voices.

Perhaps this is not bad. If it continues like this, everyone will be saved.

Furina told herself not to think too much. She has to continue playing the Hydro Archon tomorrow and needs to seize the time to rest.

Act 4? Opera House? Furina

Act 5? Opera House? Furina

Act 6? Opera House? Furina

Act 182,375? Opera House? Furina

The audience who talked to Furina at close range was very excited.

However, the audience asked very suspiciously: "Lady Furina, you... are you crying?"

"Ah... G?"

Furina was a bit stunned, then said as if nothing had happened: "Sigh, I guess the Hydro element on me is too full. There’s really no way, who told me I am the Archon who governs the Hydro element?"

"So long... so lonely... how much longer..."

"It’s been hundreds of years, maybe this play will continue for hundreds of years..."

"Never thought this process would be so painful..."

"Have I reached my limit... no, I should have reached my limit a long, long time ago. Today, I didn’t even notice myself shedding tears."

"I really want to confide in someone, even if it’s just one person... but, that would be a waste of all previous efforts."

"I’ve done so much investigation over the past few hundred years, but there’s no hope of breaking through the prophecy..."

"Now I can only continue to believe... continuing to play the Hydro Archon is the only way to save Fontaine."

"Please, you must succeed, me in the mirror..."

Act 182,376? Opera House? Furina? And...

Lumine’s voice came, telling Furina that she didn’t need to support it alone like this, and her people would be very willing to share the burden with Furina.

But Furina hesitated.

"I am a witness, just confide in me," Lumine said.

"If it’s you..."

Furina hesitated.

(She’s right, if it’s her, it should be fine to confide, right?)

(But... if everything doesn’t develop as expected, the ones bearing the risk are the entire people of Fontaine...)

(No, Furina, you shouldn’t be selfish...)

(But, what if it really doesn’t matter?)

(Furina, you’ve worked hard for so long, it’s okay to be a little selfish, right?)

(You’re not doing anything too excessive, just finding a suitable person to confide your troubles and pain a little, it should be fine, right?)
