Section 270

Alice snorted: "You went to Liyue to participate in some enlightenment method, and the result was that you drank with Zhongli or Wendy for decades."

"Ah this..."

It turned out to be that time.

No wonder.

"What about these two living beings?" Su Chen asked.

Alice said softly: "I went to investigate before. They left the seal accidentally and were adopted by the Fontaine people... But something happened later, which is a bit regretful. It's a pity that I couldn't take care of them."

"From the perspective of creation, you are indeed responsible for this." Su Chen held her hand, "But from the perspective of the laws of the movement of all things in the world, there is a certain inevitability in the existence of things, which is the so-called fate. Maybe you changed your mind at the time, but the result will not change."

Alice suddenly said: "Like Fontaine's prophecy? You came to investigate these to help the water god, right?"

"Well..."

""The Great Sage Xumi is actually the messenger of the Water God", haha~" Alice showed a gentle smile.

Su Chen sneered: "Listen to my quibbles... No, listen to my explanation."

"I'm too lazy to listen. If you can, why don't you go and argue with Buyer? I don't know who went there and swore that it had nothing to do with her and was just going to deal with things. That's all. When you go back, I'll see How can you kneel on the branches of the world?”

Su Chen broke into cold sweat on his back.

"You, how do you know this?"

"Hehe~ Do you think I have any special way of contacting them?"

"..."

...

It is impossible to quibble, you can only admit it openly.

Besides, I am saving Fontaine. As the law of heaven, is there any problem in saving the people who are in dire straits?

My heart and my actions are as clear as a clear mirror, and everything I do is righteous!

Have a clear conscience, family members.

Su Chen wiped away the cold sweat and said.

However, returning to Mondstadt to find this information was crucial to Su Chen.

He finally knew what crime the Water God had committed.

Stealing the power of the original womb sea to create human beings is obviously an act that goes against the will of nature.

No wonder God would send down a curse like drowning Feng Dan.

From the perspective of a rule maker, in the order established by oneself, one would not want anything to happen that violates the rules.

Of course, order managers cannot just wipe out living beings.

After all, He wants stability.

Even those sky nails were thrown down under certain circumstances, and they were all excusable... maybe.

Forget it, I'm a good person anyway... Su Chen thought, knowing this, the next action would be much easier to handle.

The next day, when the transmission has cooled down.

When Su Chen returned to Fontaine from Mondstadt, the trial was over.

As he expected, Linney was not the murderer.

But what was a bit unexpected was that the dead Cowell was the one who planned the serial disappearance of the girls.

This wave of operations was really about showing off himself to death. Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head after listening to Paimon's excited explanation.

With such ability, he is still committing crimes, why not go home and raise pigs.

"I also think that he was knocked unconscious by Lillian in turn. But luckily Lillian is not from Fontaine, otherwise another person would have died in vain... Well, although it is not good for her to be a thief."

Speaking of this, Paimon patted his chest, "But I didn't expect that people can actually dissolve. Fortunately, Ryder, you weren't here, otherwise I would have been shocked when I saw that scene. In front of everyone, that The guards who helped Cowell literally dissolved... I feel horrible thinking about it now."

The whole thing was that the mastermind behind the serial disappearance of girls wanted to use a magic show to blame Linney. As a result, Cowell died unexpectedly, and the accomplice who was discovered through the plan was eventually killed and silenced.

As for what Linni did during the whole process, in addition to leading the magic, he also sneaked into the core room of the oracle machine and tried to explore what was inside.

Of course, this plan ultimately failed.

It's a pity that the murderer could not be found.

As for why the murderer chose Linney, it was only later that she found out that the Linney brothers were actually from the Hearth House.

In other words, they belong to the crowd of fools.

Throwing the pot to the Fools, no matter how stupid Linni's operation is to dissolve the girl in front of everyone, some people will think it's okay, because it's the Fools, and it's true that it's notorious.

"What about Linni and the others?" Su Chen asked.

"He entered the core of the oracle machine illegally and is being questioned by the guards. I'm afraid he will be convicted." Ying said.

Su Chen nodded slightly.

This is normal.

After all, the stapler is a thing made by God. It can be said to be the standard for the entire Fontainebleau trial now, and it also bears the burden of energy supply. For such an important thing, even if Linney's plan did not succeed, it has been put into action. Then of course he is guilty.

But what puzzled Su Chen was that since Linnie was from the Hearth House and not a real member of the Fools, how could he do such a thing?

"Lord Ryder!"

At this time, Aina came quickly from a distance.

"What's wrong?"

"Can I have a few words with you alone?"

Su Chen nodded: "Traveller, Paimon, we'll talk later."

"We should also go to the Adventurers Guild to pick up the package." Paimon looked frustrated. "I don't know if the commission is considered a failure. Catherine said she would pick it up when she arrived in Fontaine. It has been several days now."

"Even if you fail, you have to explain the situation to Catherine." She had a very good attitude.

"Yeah, let's go... By the way, Navia is still waiting for us over there, let's go over and say hello to her first."

Wait for the two to leave.

Aina hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Lord Reid, I have something to report to you."

"Go ahead."

"Regarding Linny and Linnet's action this time, it's actually not their fault..."

Aina explained the reason.

In fact, Linny sneaked into the stapler core under the order of their father... the servant.

But the servant's order was issued by Aina.

The reason for doing this is that Aina wants to deal with the prophecy that may happen at any time.

She has always adhered to the will to protect Fontaine, even if she has forgotten the existence of Grandpa Reid, Aina is still fulfilling her duties. Over the years, she has been paying attention to the water conditions of Fontaine and found that the water level rise is far more serious than what ordinary people see.

Although everyone thinks that prophecies are just like rumors and may not happen.

Besides, with the invincible Lord Funina here, what can happen if it happens?

But Aina found that it was not the case.

She felt that Funina was powerful and strong, after all, she had solved such a big disaster more than four hundred years ago.

But from the hydrological data that Funina had read over the years, she could not solve the crisis of the prophecy at all. Even from some details, Aina felt that Lady Funina might have lost her powerful power.

After protecting Fontaine, she became a "weak chicken".

Aina had no ill will towards Funina, but her will to protect Fontaine would not change because of Funina's strength, so at the suggestion of the servant, Aina tried to investigate the Cardinal of Oracle Judgment, which provided energy for the entire Fontaine.

Because the power generated by this thing is much more than maintaining the work of the equipment, if this power is used to deal with the prophecy, it may bring a turnaround.

Originally, it would be better to ask Lady Funina about this kind of thing, but Aina found again that Funina seemed to not understand that thing either.

Without power, there are always mistakes in the judgment, and it is impossible to control the oracle machine... Lord Water God is unreliable, so she has no choice but to do it herself.

"So you let Lini investigate?" Su Chen shook his head secretly, "That thing is a god-made thing after all, you are too careless."

He was speechless. Why do all his subordinates want to rebel against him?

You can't touch the stapler?

Aina bowed and said, "Sorry, Lord Reid, this is also a helpless move... But now that you are back, we don't need to do this anymore."

As she said, she waved to the distance.

A figure walked over.

White hair, black pupils, and a red cross mark in the eyes.

Beautiful appearance, cold temperament.

Isn't it a servant?

Some time ago, Lini told her that there was an opportunity to perform at the opera house, and she was invited by Funina. The servant wanted to take this opportunity to find out the situation of the Cardinal of the Enlightenment, so this action was taken.

Yesterday, the servant wrote a letter to tell her about the situation. She rushed over from the winter. Because of the diplomatic process, the letter arrived first. She arrived here not long ago, and as a result, she received the news that Lini's action failed.

I was thinking about saving people, but Aina turned around and said that Lord Reid was back, and they didn't have to take risks anymore.

The servant was still wondering who Reid was.

He came over, and before he could say the honorific, he froze in his place.

"Lord Archon?!"

"Hmm?" Aina was also stunned.

"Hmm..."

Su Chen rubbed his temples and waved his hand, "It's about three o'clock, let's have tea first."

...

Half an hour later.

A lounge in the opera house.
