Chapter 365

Fontaine’s disaster finally came to an end.

No matter what happened, the newspaper office wouldn’t be idle. That is to say, in Fontaine, the writing speed of The Steambird is the speed at which people understand the truth.

Lumine and Paimon were reading the news in The Steambird.

They were with Charlotte.

Charlotte wanted to interview everyone, while Lumine and Paimon wanted to go and see everyone.

Arriving at Poisson and finding Navia, her recent situation was not bad, and there were Fatui representatives here.

The Fatui representative stated not to report the Fatui in a high-profile way; their actions were not righteous deeds, just that their interests were consistent with the Spina di Rosula.

Lumine and Paimon had some changes in their view of the Fatui forces in Fontaine, but not much.

Charlotte's professional ability was very strong. After a burst of shutter sounds, she quickly took photos of Poisson and interviewed several residents at a very fast speed.

Clorinde was a bit emotional about her speed.

Was Charlotte's indomitable spirit perhaps the key to persuading the Fortress of Meropide to allow her to go for an interview?

After everyone chatted for a while, Lumine and the others headed to the Fortress of Meropide.

Wriothesley was not willing to be the focus of the interview; Luvie and Jurieu were.

Lumine and the two walked a section of the road with Wriothesley and shared the news from the surface.

After Wriothesley understood, he stated that Tartaglia's three little brothers were still waiting for Tartaglia to return.

Wriothesley planned to tell them one good news and one bad news. The good news is that Tartaglia didn't encounter too much danger, and the bad news is that the three little brothers helping with the prison break would increase their sentence.

After chatting for a while, Lumine, Paimon, and Charlotte arrived at the port of Poisson.

Lyney and the others were distributing magic pockets, stating that although the water level had recovered, things were floating everywhere, and these magic pockets could help.

Charlotte saw that they had something to say, so she deliberately sent everyone away.

"You don't know yet, right?"

"Actually... after Lady Furina left, Father and Lord Neuvillette discussed it, and Neuvillette 'diplomatically gifted' Fontaine's Gnosis to Father." Lyney said.

"Diplomatically gifted? Did you give the Gnosis to Arlecchino?"

"Hmm, I was also surprised at first, but thinking about it carefully, there are still quite a few reasons, such as apologizing for the previous wrong trial of Lord Childe's case, thanking Lord Childe for delaying the All-Devouring Narwhal in the Primordial Sea... and Father also helped the Fontaine authorities and Poisson a lot before."

After Lyney explained, Paimon said: "But even if you say so... that is the Gnosis, isn't it a bit rash?"

"Also, but I actually heard... Lord Neuvillette's attitude toward this matter had a clear change... You should ask him personally about these things."

While chatting, Arlecchino suddenly appeared.

Lumine handed Tartaglia's Vision to her and asked her to pass it to Tartaglia.

After chatting for a few words, Lumine and Paimon found Neuvillette.

How exactly was Fontaine saved? Paimon still had many doubts about this.

When many things really reached the moment of speaking, Neuvillette was a bit depressed.

He informed the two in detail about the truth from his perspective that day: Focalors deceived Celestia and saved Fontaine by relying on Furina's long performance.

After Focalors destroyed the Hydro Archon's throne and returned the power, Neuvillette became the complete elemental Dragon King.

The authority of the ancient dragon meant absolute control over the Hydro element for Neuvillette.

"Fontaine's humans were 'incomplete humans' created by Egeria using the power of the Primordial Sea, similar to a kind of mimicry... but as long as the Primordial Sea energy in Fontaine people is still there, I can exercise the authority of the ancient dragon, imitate the planet's initial process of nurturing life, and give them real 'blood'."

"In other words, the moment I issued the 'verdict', Fontaine people became 'real humans' and naturally would not be dissolved by Primordial Sea Water."

After listening to Neuvillette's explanation, Lumine said: "In other words, at this moment, Fontaine people were truly 'born'."

Taking this opportunity, Lumine asked Neuvillette many questions.

The previous verdict on Tartaglia was because of his childhood experience. He awakened the All-Devouring Narwhal by chance, but logically and reasonably, it shouldn't be the reason to consider Tartaglia the root cause of the disaster. It could only be considered as having some joint responsibility. As for the Oratrice's verdict, whether it was based on joint responsibility or because Focalors guessed something, it is unknown.

Lumine asked about Fontaine's future.

"Lady Furina... the public only knows that her death penalty was not truly executed. She stepped down from the position of Hydro Archon, handed over the nominal affairs to me, and left the Opera House."

"I faithfully and fully relayed Focalors' last words. After she heard it, she didn't show sadness, nor did she express relief... just said... she was tired and needed to rest."

"After saying this, she packed her things and moved out of the Opera House like an ordinary person moving."

Neuvillette indicated not to worry about Furina's food, clothing, housing, and transportation, etc., he would arrange it.

Then he asked about the next stop of the journey, Natlan.

Finally, he asked about the Gnosis.

Neuvillette stated that when he sent the two from the Primordial Sea back to land that day, he had a conversation with Skirk.

After the All-Devouring Narwhal was gone, without interference, Skirk noticed some aura on Neuvillette.

She stated that the Gnosis is the remains of the Third Descender, and it is unlucky to carry such things on one's body, so it is better to throw it away.

Neuvillette didn't know much about the Third Descender. After asking, he found that Skirk didn't know much either.

She stated that if he is interested, she can ask her master next time and pass it on to Neuvillette.

Neuvillette asked when they would meet again.

Skirk thought for a while: "Oh, speaking of which, I still have an apprentice. If there is anything, let him pass the message."

[Tartaglia]: Ah?! Master only thinks of me at such a time?! (Tartaglia: Damn it)

[Skirk]: Hmm.

[Paimon]: So what exactly is the remains of the Third Descender? (Curious)

[Skirk]: Didn't I say? I don't know, Master doesn't know what she is doing either, and I can't ask now. (Spreads hands)

[Paimon]: Alright, alright. (Sighs)

After learning that the Gnosis is the remains of the Third Descender, Lumine and Paimon were very surprised.

Lumine stated that she is the Fourth Descender, and Neuvillette never expected this either.

Thinking about it, no one had an answer. Paimon felt that it would be better to force Tartaglia after he recovered, let him ask his master and then tell them.

Finally.

"Fontaine's prophecy crisis can be considered to have truly come to an end." Paimon sighed.

"Hmm." Neuvillette nodded: "All of Focalors' efforts were also for this moment."

"But..." Paimon was a bit confused: "As an Archon, she sacrificed herself in the end. As a human, she spent five hundred years in such torment... Is this still what she wanted?"

Neuvillette thought for a while: "The will of an Archon is probably just that mysterious."

"Can you understand the will of an Archon?" Lumine was curious.

"I don't think so." Neuvillette shook his head and said: "It's just that occasionally I also guess, if wishes are pieces of clouds in the sky, one day they will turn into rain and fall back to the earth... Life circulates like water, and rain is the final answer."

"Water occasionally tilts, and rain will fall fairly."

"What difference is there in the rain that you, I, and she bathe in."

[Witness Series Episode 1]

[The Sinner's Dance of the Steps] [End]

[Main characters of this episode receive rewards]

[Each person receives five million Mora]

[Paimon]: ??? The reward is just this?! I thought it would reward me with some divine weapon!

[Kaeya]: You are living in a dream, right? This episode of Witness shows Fontaine's future, which is already a huge harvest. Five million Mora is not a small amount, be happy secretly!

[Navia]: The amount of information given by the video is too large, and now everything has not happened yet, it is still in time to save, this is the true reward of the video!

[Melus]: Young Lady felt much better after crying for Lady Furina earlier.

[Silver]: Master's grievance has been cleared, a major event in Young Lady's heart has been settled, and Fontaine's prophecy crisis also has enough clues to think about response plans... The mood has become cheerful! (Sunglasses)

[Gu Chen]: After watching the entire Witness series, I have to say it. Although I understand that everyone sending Furina to the courtroom was just to know the secret she was hiding, for the sake of everyone in Fontaine, I can fully understand, but the blonde girl finally looked at Navia, looked at Lyney and them, looked at Wriothesley, looked at Neuvillette, why didn't she look at Furina? (Nahida: Pointing fingers)

[Kaeya]: Miss Lumine is indeed not very kind this time, but the braver one is the Sect Leader, directly calling his first wife blonde girl. (Funny)

[Buer]: It can be seen that the husband really substituted himself into it. Although I guess the first wife is because she wants to let Miss Furina rest for a while before going to see her, this state of ignoring her for the time being is indeed chilling. (Light laugh)

(ched) [Lumine]: If you do something wrong, you have to admit it, if you get beaten, you have to stand straight! I in the video indeed have many reasons that can be justified, but I do feel strange. With my personality, I should have gone to see Furina immediately... If I can't make up for Furina in the video, then I will make up for Furina in reality. I'll let her taste my cooking skills another day!

[Venti]: No wonder she can be the first wife, this attitude of dealing with things is satisfying. (Thumbs up)

[Azhdaha]: Speaking of which, I just captured a keyword, Furina, right? (Funny)

[Kaeya]: Can the video of the Sect Leader's wives torturing the Sect Leader be released for us to see? (Funny)

[Osial]: Sect Leader: Furina~ my Furina~ (Funny)

Gunnhildr.

Jean and Barbara were on the left and right sides of Gu Chen.

Although the two were smiling, Gu Chen was sweating coldly.

"I can understand that you feel sorry for Miss Furina." Jean was quite tolerant, and she felt very sorry for Furina in the video, and even more admired Focalors, this Hydro Archon.

Barbara smiled lightly: "It does seem a bit intimate, but we understand you, so we won't misunderstand anything."

Seeing this, Gu Chen sighed at the sensibility of his wives.
