Chapter 702 The Man Who Believed in the Prophecy
The current Water God is unaware of the dramatic misunderstanding his presumptuous appearance has caused for the two working-class people.
She stood on a large wooden box, passionately emphasizing the exalted status of her divine position.
The wooden crates were arranged by the guards at Xu Ning's suggestion. Firstly, they prevented our diminutive deity from "fading into the crowd," and secondly, they allowed Xu Ning to hide behind the crates to avoid directly colliding with the air, which would be no fun.
"Wow, she's so arrogant! Is she just standing there on such a high place, trying to use her divine status to oppress us?"
Paimon stared at Funina in disbelief.
Kong calmly shielded Paimon behind him, saying, "Let's see what she's planning to do first."
Fu Ningna was running out of things to say. We weren't familiar with each other. After I finished speaking, shouldn't you praise me and then dismiss us?
What are you all spacing out about?
The crowd, however, seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold. Someone started it, and they all began chanting "Duel!"
"What's wrong with everyone at Fontainebleau? Are they all just looking for fun?"
Xu Ning shook his head and looked at Funina from below. The girl seemed a little lost at the moment.
"Ahem, the law: flying objects are prohibited in the city for the first three days of each month..."
Xu Ning silently mourned for Paimon in his heart, then whispered a reminder to the Water God.
"Hahaha, that's right, calm down, my people, I am indeed determined to engage in an epic duel with this traveler from a foreign land..."
As expected, Fu Ningna followed her train of thought. So, shouldn't her little brother also draw his sword and rebel against tyranny?
Then, by helping him escape, you'll obtain a Fontaine wanted achievement, and then various factions should also emerge, right?
Just like Inazuma, Sora has firmly joined the resistance camp. We, on the one hand, oppose it, and on the other hand, muddy the waters of Fontainebleau, and then profit from it...
Kong Tianran's distrust of the gods reached its peak with Funinna, and sure enough, he drew his sword without hesitation.
Xu Ning clearly sensed that Funina had taken a half-step back in fright.
"My Water God, are you serious about taking a half step back? Clorind and I are here, don't be afraid of him, just go for it!"
Xu Ning muttered encouragement to the Water God in the background, while Clarinde glared at him with some annoyance.
You're the one who caused all this trouble, and now you're hiding behind the scenes, encouraging Lady Funina.
Clarin stepped forward and hissed, "What do you intend to do, traveler? Do you intend to offend the gods before the people?"
Just as the two sides were about to come to blows, a laugh suddenly broke the silence.
"Excuse me, Lady Funina, this might be a bit of a mood killer, but please allow me to interject..."
Xu Ning frowned. Had something unexpected happened?
Looking out from the side of the box, a cute boy wearing stockings stood in front of Kong, talking animatedly.
"Do you recognize this person? Judging from the expressions of the people around him, he seems to be quite famous?"
Xu Ning asked Clarinde on the other side.
Clarinde's face was ashen. She had a feeling that Xu Ning had brought a lot of trouble to Fontaine, but she had no evidence. So she spoke to Xu Ning in a bad mood.
"He is the great magician Linni, and the woman next to him is his sister and assistant Linette. The two of them are very famous in Fontaine."
"magician?"
Xu Ning watched as this little guy used a method he himself hadn't figured out to connect Kong and Paimon, using the concept of a "balloon" to break the notion of a "flying object".
"Heh, interesting. I'd better get to know them better!"
Furnessa was refuted by the great magician Linni and could only leave with a few polite words.
Xu Ning could clearly see the girl's puffed-up face, full of resentment, and guessed that she would bring a bunch of small cakes for afternoon tea to soothe her wounded little heart.
He greeted Clorind, saying he was going to welcome his little brother, and then emerged from behind the wooden crate.
"You big drunkard! So you were here all along. Saves us the trouble of looking for you!"
Paimon, who was floating in mid-air, spotted Xu Ning immediately and waved to him.
Xu Ning smiled and waved his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the brother and sister.
Could it be said that both of them are people who have experienced big events?
Despite their young age, they all seemed quite shrewd and calculating, and they appeared remarkably calm when they saw me.
However, while Xu Ning was talking to Kong, he clearly felt a sharp gaze scrutinizing him from head to toe.
Is that the younger sister? Her eyes are so sharp, like a kitten's claws.
"You must be tired from traveling back and forth these past few days. Let's go with your brother to the Debo Hotel to book a room, and we'll have a good drink tonight."
Kong was already used to accepting Xu Ning's arrangements, and Paimon naturally had no objections either.
“But Brother Xu, I still need to go to the workshop with Linni and the others to order some magic pouches. Would you like to take a look? They're a very useful storage device. Linni is distributing these to ordinary people, saying they can help the people of Fontainebleau in the event of a disaster…”
"A magic pocket? Is it a magic prop?"
Xu Ning turned to Lin Ni and asked directly.
Linni flicked his hand slightly, and a small pocket appeared out of thin air between his fingers. "This is it."
Xu Ning took it and reached in to feel it. The space inside the pocket wasn't large, about the size of a wardrobe, but it was small, lightweight, and durable, making it a good tool for carrying around.
If I'm not mistaken, this pocket clearly uses the Liyue Cave Heaven Mind Image Technique, and its main material should be a plant with its own elemental power.
Remembering how Beidou had complained to her that Granny Ping hadn't made her any magical treasures, she thought that if each of her crew members had a small pouch with food, water, and life-saving equipment in advance, it would be very useful in a critical moment.
If this craft could be brought back to Liyue, both Ningguang's caravans and the Thousand Rock Army's logistics would have a great need for it.
Xu Ning was lost in thought when Paimon called out, "Let's go quickly, we're waiting for dinner!" which brought him back to reality.
Xu Ning handed the bag back to Lin Ni and said with a smile, "I'm also very interested in this, let's go take a look together."
Linni knew the place well and led the group on foot toward the Beaumont Workshop.
Xu Ning quickened his pace and walked ahead alongside Lin Ni.
"I just heard Kong say that you believe this bag can help the people of Fontainebleau escape disaster. So, you're one of those who believe in that prophecy?"
Linni laughed and said, "My brother and I grew up in Fontainebleau. The little mound where we used to play together has now become a deep riverbed. How could I not believe it?"
