Chapter 1553: The Calm Before the Storm, the Second Eruption of the Fetal Sea

Fontainebleau.

In the afternoon, the case of Meilushin being threatened was closed, and the criminal was quickly caught by the excited crowd.

It's still raining.

That Villette saw Lu Jingquan's memories during the day, the original Meilushin and the captain of the special patrol team, as well as the scenes of humans rejecting Meilushin at that time.

Compare this with human acceptance and protection of Melusin hundreds of years later.

The two images are constantly intertwined.

The rain hit his body, and at this moment, he once again felt the emotions and past contained in the water.

He walked slowly in the rain, and the people and events he had experienced in the past five hundred years appeared before his eyes one by one.

"In human society, you will see many happy and unhappy things... One day you will have enough of the past, and then you will be qualified to judge everything on behalf of Fontaine's 'history'."

Ying and Paimon are running in the rain.

In the hotel, Jiang Yi was entertaining someone.

Astrologius Mona Megistus.

The girl with purple twin ponytails and a witch's hat looked at Klevi with penetrating eyes.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: "It's true that wherever I go, I will meet new girls!"

So, I couldn't help but ask: "Have you made any new male friends recently?"

"..." Jiang Yi was silent for a moment after hearing the topic raised by Mona, "The great magician from Fontaine?"

"A sister?" Mona asked.

"...Ahem!" What do you mean? You're asking me this question. Am I the kind of person who made friends with Linni just because of Linnet? Jiang Yi's mouth was twisted with anger.

"A beautiful girl with cat ears and a cat tail." Mona rolled her eyes.

This was not her first time in Fontaine.

Recently, she, a columnist for the Steambird News, was invited to participate in a symposium on the "Fontaine Prophecy" and to express her insights as an astrologer on the recent popularity of prophecies.

She has been here for more than ten days.

It’s just that Jiang Yi and Ying were both in Mello Petersburg at that time, so she didn’t go to visit them.

"Are you really not going to intervene in this prophecy yourself?" Mona asked, "I can't think of anyone other than you who can change the fate of Teyvat. Oh! Ying is one too."

As an astrologer, she does not have the ability to make this "prophecy" of divination.

Because this prophecy concerns the fate of Fontaine and even the entire Teyvat, confirming this is equivalent to fortune-telling for the entire world. This level of thing is not something that anyone can do. If she can, she should be called a "prophet."

Of course, her master, the old woman, can do it, and probably some of the people in the Witch Society can do it too.

The prophecy itself is huge and powerful. Its content concerns the fate of the world and must come from a powerful prophet.

"As a human being... don't underestimate humans." Jiang Yi drank the tea brought by Krevy.

"Prophecy is the 'future history' that will definitely happen. I will certainly not interfere. But everything has a glimmer of hope, and there will always be people who intercept the hope and work hard in the blind spot of God's sight."

“I hope that those who work hard know that hard work is meaningful, and the way to save the world is not just to rely on other gods.”

"I want to foster... the confidence of mankind to defeat 'prophecy', 'natural disasters', and 'the dark future'."

"Breaking people's fear of 'prophecy'."

Mona lowered her eyes: "But you are still soft-hearted. You have secretly intervened a lot, just like the previous dynasty of Fontaine, just like you... asked the Fontaine Water God to evacuate the people of Baisong Town in advance."

After hearing the announcement, she performed divination for each of the people in Baisong Town who had not yet evacuated.

Many of the results of divination are "death" or "dissolution" in the near future.

Then, as they began to move upward, ripples of change occurred in their fortunes.

Humph! I will lend a hand to those who are struggling...

Maybe it's the commonality between Jiang Yi and myself, or the like-mindedness that allows me to become friends with him just by watching him constantly looking for girls.

Krevy narrowed her eyes.

The relationship between Jiang Yi and the astrologer...are they just ordinary friends or girlfriends? It's so hard to guess.

"Let's not talk about this. I'm actually quite sorry... There's no discount at all the stores in Fontaine..." Jiang Yi showed a look of deep sorrow, "When the predicted flood comes, all the goods here will be flooded, including the clothes in Qianzhiwu, the food in the coffee shop, and the machinery in the toy store..."

"They should sell it cheaply before the flood comes."

Poof! The tea in Mona's mouth spurted out.

Krevy's eyelids twitched and she quickly dodged.

"You...what weird idea do you have?"

It's too abstract.

"Although... I am also looking forward to discounts in bookstores, alchemy shops, etc.... but... isn't this taking advantage of the situation... No! It's suspected of making a fortune by taking advantage of the doomsday..." Mona covered her chest in grief. When Jiang Yi said this, she was immediately heartbroken for the expensive ancient books and astrological instruments in Fontaine that might be submerged in water.

It seems that at the symposium, we should call on everyone to "waterproof" their valuables in advance.

Otherwise, people will live in poverty.

Jiang Yi helplessly wiped away the tea that Mona sprayed out.

"So selling some waterproof bags now or investing in post-disaster restoration in the future... there is a big market for it." Jiang Yi touched his chin.

"No way! What made you look like a businessman?" Mona didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You still care about money? Can't you get whatever you want?

"Because I work at Fu Sheng Technology Rune Company...! The company is my home, so of course I have to consider it." Jiang Yi said as a matter of course.

Mona was speechless.

You are the boss, and the company is indeed half of your home...

"Ok?"

"The rain has stopped outside!" Krevy looked out the window.

"It seems that our Supreme Judge has figured it out." Jiang Yi smiled. The sunlight refracted in through the window and illuminated the tea table.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly mentioning the Supreme Judge?" Mona was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Could this rain be related to him?"

The heart of fortune-telling is ready to move.

……

Under the clear sky, Villette looked at the white clouds.

He had long ago realized that he could easily relate to human emotions, even if he didn't understand what they meant, so he figured there must be something in common between him and humans. By observing them, maybe one day he could understand the meaning of his own existence.

He used to think that time was useless to him. If he kept his distance from everyone and completed his work properly, a few years would make no difference to him. But he thought... now he understood.

The flow of time has its own meaning, and the answer he wants to find from human life may be life itself.

This country... the people of this country.

It has become a part of his life.

He will protect this "life" just like the people of Fontaine protect their homeland.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a woman in green clothes.

That is the vigorous vitality of the grass and trees sprouting and all things prospering.

"Grass...Elemental Dragon King..."

"Apepp."

He had a look of surprise. What was in front of him was not the real body of the Grass Dragon, but just the incarnation of the other party's thoughts.

Why did she come?

I remember that she was worshipped by the gods as the "Dragon King" in the Xumi Desert area, who was in charge of good weather and good harvests.

Apep could naturally sense that Villette's identity.

"You can think of me as a tourist..."

"The prophecy set by Heaven..."

"The choice of mankind..."

“I want to witness it, too.”

The clothes on the woman in green were extremely ancient. They were silk from Liyue in ancient Xumi... There were very few clothes of this style in Liyue nowadays.

"Just a witness?" Villette thought, "Perhaps, the God of Man has also asked you...about the order of human nature. When he was in Inazuma, he announced his will to the Seven Gods, and he will also announce it to the Dragon Kings of various countries..."

In the past, he had thought about visiting other elemental dragon kings to answer his own doubts, but they were scattered in other countries, and a rash visit might lead to unforeseen crises.

Now...it doesn't seem as bad as I thought.

"Haha! You guessed it right..." Apep said casually, "The wind dragon has a close relationship with humans... I won't object. The Dragon King Ruota is suppressed in the cave in the bedrock at the center of Liyue..."

"He wants a clear answer from the Rock Dragon King..."

“Ha! Maybe… I will first repair Liyue’s earth veins, fix the wear and tear of the rock dragon, and let the dragon king regain his sanity…”

Villette was silent for a moment. "He calmed down all the sorrows and hatreds of the past and created an eternal paradise... What do you think is the difference between him and the tyrant who occupied our planet?"

From a historical perspective, except for dragons, all other beings are outsiders.

"He said that the universe is vast, and it is not difficult to create a planet..." Apep lowered his eyes, "but he needs a planet where all races can coexist and become a place to practice his ideas. Our planet can accept or reject it... and will lose its position as 'Tianyuan' forever."

"..." Villette once again deeply felt that the layout of the God of Man was not on the same level as what he was experiencing now.

In his mind, this prophecy might indeed be just a test to "prove that human reason can defeat natural law."

"You don't have to invite me to your place. I will just continue to watch this...rebellion of the mortal world against the rules of nature..." After saying this, Apep turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

the other side.

Mona said goodbye to Jiang Yi. She booked a hotel for herself. Although she envied the spacious and luxurious place where Jiang Yi lived, but...if she stayed here, would she sleep with Jiang Yi?

what!

He took the cakes and tea leaves on Jiang Yi's tea table and walked out with firm steps.

"I'll treat you tonight. Let's go to the nearby Debo Hotel for dinner..."

The devil's temptation came from behind.

The astrologer on a business trip was as poor as ever, and the hotel he booked was actually in the "sewer", or "Gray River", where the civilians lived.

He swallowed subconsciously.

I have helped Jiang Yi a lot in the past, so it seems reasonable for Jiang Yi to treat me to a meal...

"……I……"

She closed her eyes with a slightly red face and touched her belly. Mona was so spineless.

"I...will be there on time."

I felt that my dignity and soul were once again being sucked away by the devil Jiang Yi.

I really want to turn into water.

However, this idea seems a bit like hell to the people of Fontaine today.

Mona was not afraid of dissolution, because she was born in Mondstadt, and her parents moved to Jingfu Port. Later, she followed the old woman to study around, and settled down in Mondstadt when she returned.

Megistus is their name card in the professional field. After being accepted as an apprentice by the old woman, she gave up her original surname and was asked to change it to this name. The old woman who originally used "Megistus" as her surname became "Trish Megistus" after she entered the dream.

It means three times greater, to suppress her.
