People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 286: Navelette Asks for Leave and the Two Fufus Wait for Answers

The top floor of Mo Mang Palace, the room of the current God of Water.

When Villette reached the door of the room, she suddenly had a strange premonition:

——For some reason, he inexplicably felt that the scene of his reunion with his fellow tribesmen this time might be a little different from what he had imagined.

I don't know what the status of those seniors will be.
Since the other elemental dragons may have already gathered together, he should not be the only one in human form, right?

"."

Putting aside his worries for the time being, Villette raised his hand and knocked on the door in front of him.

"咚咚-"

"come in."

As soon as the knock on the door sounded, a voice that seemed to have been waiting for a long time came from the room.

I was already used to being called by Funina for all kinds of strange reasons.
After hearing the response,

The Supreme Judge, who had worked diligently for four hundred years, entered the room without stopping as usual.

"."

"Ms. Funina, did you ask me to come here specifically for any other arrangements?"

"If it's because of the paralysis of the self-regulatory agency, then with your understanding of ancient dragons, I think you should already know the reason."

After entering the door, I looked at the girl wearing a blue hat on the sofa.
Know the identity of the other party's water god,

That Villette believed that after the last experience, there was no need for him to explain himself. Funina in front of him should have already noticed the source of the commotion:

——As a god who can accurately find this humanoid elemental dragon,
It seems that while he was still confirming it, Funina already knew that another ancient dragon had taken back the power that once belonged to her.

Funina: "."

Wait, what did you say? How do I know what the reason is?
I originally thought that there might be some criminals causing trouble, or that something went wrong with the experiment at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences.
But after seeing Villette's performance, and combining it with the word "ancient dragon" in the other party's words,
An ominous premonition, accompanied by a bit of uncertainty, appeared in the heart of the current "Water God".

No way, how could this happen twice in such a short period of time?
It is said that the dragons in ancient times were not very friendly to gods and humans. What if they attack us?
But before Furninna could figure out how to respond,

The Navrette in front of her shattered the remaining hope in her heart with a calm tone:
"Looking at your reaction, Ms. Funina, you must also be feeling surprised by this incident."

"——But as you have sensed, the ancient dragons belonging to the "rock element" have also taken back the power that we dragons once had."

"Now that the power of the Seven has been restored to two of them, the return of the other elemental dragons should not be far away."

"."

After hearing that this was the worst possible outcome, Funina's originally wandering eyes gradually became dull:
——What should I do? The prophecy doesn’t seem to mention such a thing at all, and my original mission shouldn’t include fighting those ancient dragons, right?

If they really come over, how should I continue to act? Should I rush over and be eaten?

Because of all the abstract behaviors of Fernina in the past, Villette was not surprised by all the behaviors of her unpredictable boss.
After giving the most basic explanation of the situation, he did not try to guess what the water god in front of him was thinking.
He paused for a moment, then directly stated the real purpose of his coming here:
"——I hope to take a vacation in the next period of time. I will personally go to the source of the aura to meet my fellow tribesmen."

"This matter is very important to me. I will send the specific leave documents to you after I have filled them out. I hope you will approve it as soon as possible, Ms. Funina."

"."

"Vacation? At this time?"

"But in a few days, won't you come to the diplomatic meeting with the Winter Solstice Executive?!"

Furninna, who had already thought the situation was bad enough, felt dizzy when she heard that Villette had chosen to take leave at this time:
——Zhidong’s diplomatic style has always been very strong, and he especially likes to use some “rule-breaking” methods.

If Violet wasn't there, and she had to go meet the executive officer alone,

If anything unexpected happened, she, the "Water God" who actually had no power, would have no means of countermeasure.

When Villette heard that Furninna in front of him was still worried about this, he said in a somewhat strange tone:
"Even if a diplomatic meeting has been agreed upon, it is not impossible to postpone it.

If you don’t want to talk to the other person right now, you can just decline for now.”

"Although the diplomatic relations between Fontaine and Zhidong have always been good, they are only superficially friendly.
Whether they meet or not, it will not affect the actions of the Fatui in those areas that are difficult to monitor."

After a brief pause, he continued to ask, somewhat confused:

"Besides, even if we are going to have diplomatic talks, when did I agree to attend with you?"

"As the Water God of Fontaine, there should be no need for me to accompany you when meeting with an executive officer, even if it is a fourth seat."

"——In addition, I am not good at communicating with others outside of the courtroom. This is not an area that I should be involved in as a judge."

"."

"Well, you see, I just think that since our current relationship with Zhidong is pretty good,
If you refuse, it may be like breaking a promise, which will worsen the relationship between the two friends.

And if the other party really wants to do something, we may be at a disadvantage if we don’t know about it.”

——I am afraid that if I choose not to meet, the Fatui may achieve their goal in secret.
With that kind of unscrupulous and reckless behavior, even she, the fake "Water God", might not be safe.

"."

"——Anyway, this is just how I hope it will turn out. Don't think too much about it.

Otherwise, don’t rush to take a vacation. I’ll go find someone to arrange a meeting…”

Every time he communicated with the Fatui before, if Villette was in the Momang Palace, the other party would appear much more polite.
Furninna, who actually has no power at all, will never feel at ease if she doesn't have a fighting force by her side.

"."

Villette was silent for a moment, but finally shook his head and refused:

". Considering Zhidong's recent activity outside of Xumi Liyue, I can shorten my vacation time appropriately and try to catch up with this meeting."

"But I think you should know that compared to two intact ancient dragons, the damage that can be caused by the actions of an executor is actually negligible in comparison."

After a brief pause, the Water Dragon, who knew best the power of the Complete Authority, also explained to Funina in front of him:
"——According to the information I have, with two complete dragons who possess complete elemental power, plus the possible existence of other dragons of the same race, there should be no country in the seven nations that can stand up to such a force alone."

"——If my two kinsmen, because they are powerful enough, decide to start taking back the world occupied by the usurper seven gods,
Then I think the consequences of this will be much more serious than such a minor issue as the deterioration of diplomatic relations.”

After hundreds of years of getting along, they have gradually accepted the existence of humans.
In fact, Villette also wanted to see the attitudes of his two fellow tribesmen towards humans.

——Based on the current trend, since the original usurper in the inherited memory has not been heard from for a long time,
If the seven elemental dragons gather together, there might be a chance to retake the world.
Therefore, in his opinion, going to confirm the ideals of his own people was a matter of vital importance, far more urgent than such a trivial issue as the executive officer.

Funina: "."

No, it feels like no matter it is a “big problem” or a “small problem”, it is very dangerous for me. What should I do?
——Why do I have no strength at all? ! Can anyone help me?
As the prophecy was getting closer and closer, there were so many unexpected changes.
Feeling that she would be doomed no matter how she handled the situation, Funina was in a dilemma.
Once again, the urgent desire aroused the power that a god should have.

Finally, because I felt that what Villette said made sense,

She could only force herself to put on her usual confident attitude and responded:

"Ahem. He is just an executive officer. I naturally don't take him seriously."

"I am the water god of Fontaine, the demon god named Fukaros, the god of justice who is loved and respected by everyone."

"——Since you want to meet your fellow tribesmen so much, I will approve your vacation this time."

"——But you must come back as soon as possible after the time is up, otherwise I will count you as absenteeism without reason!"

Having decided to postpone the meeting with the executive who came to "discuss cooperation", Funina could only make what she thought was the best choice at the moment:

——After all, there is still some time before the predicted date arrives, so at least there won’t be any problems now.

But if an elemental dragon really came to Fontaine, Funina felt that with her own strength, she probably wouldn't have to worry about whether the prophecy would come true or not.

"Okay, then I'll leave this meeting application here for now. I'll submit the leave documents as soon as I get back."

"Then I'll take my leave now."

After hundreds of years of work, we have become accustomed to following the rules.
Villette was not surprised by her boss's behavior and just thought she had some strange ideas.

After a while,

Holding the signed leave note,

Fontaine's current supreme judge turned and left the room belonging to the God of Water, preparing to embark on his first long journey in four hundred years.

And Funina, who had been maintaining a seemingly normal state,
Looking at the room where he was alone again, he could no longer suppress his emotions and let them out:
".What's going on over there in Xumi? Why did two ancient dragons suddenly appear? Don't the gods over there care about it?"

". This kind of thing happened during the last period of time. Will the plan of the person in the mirror be affected?"

Because of the prophecy that Fontaine will face the end of the world,

Finina, who has persisted in the task of "playing the role of God" for nearly five hundred years, is now filled with confusion and anxiety.

——If everything I have experienced in these years finally loses its value and meaning because of this unexpected factor,

Then it would be hard for her to imagine what all her efforts so far were for.

".Will Villette's fellow tribesmen be as friendly to humans as he is?"

".What if, what if that powerful guy is willing to help, my 'performance' will come to an end early."

Although she was deeply troubled, Funina could not find anyone to talk to.
I have made countless attempts over the years, but I have never been sure of solving the predicted flood.
It is absolutely unacceptable to let all the people of Fontaine disappear in the disaster.
At this moment, she can only choose to place her hope on "the self in the mirror".

at the same time,

Inside the Opique Theatre, in a space in the center of the Cardinal's Office.

The second time he noticed the "abnormal" figure in white, he also opened his unique eyes in his sleep with some uneasiness:

——Except for the slight differences in clothing and temperament, whether it is the appearance or the lines in the pupils,
All the details of this figure are exactly the same as those of Furninna, who is now the "God of Water".
They are so similar that they seem like copies of the same mold.

"."

".Here we go again. What kind of existence is capable of doing something like this?"

".Will 'heaven' wake up early under such stimulation? What will happen to my plan and 'myself'?"

As a deity separated from the god of Fontainewater,
Fukaros, who had been silently gathering strength for five hundred years for the final "judgment" in the Cardinal's Decree, was silent for a moment.
I feel that the situation has completely exceeded my expectations.

——Originally everything was going according to plan, but after a series of turmoil in the neighboring country of Xumi,

The current situation in Teyvat was completely confusing to her.

——Theoretically, the power of the ancient dragon was impossible to appear, the power that she could only obtain by destroying the throne.

In such a short period of time,
Two copies actually appeared in a way that she couldn't understand at all, and it was even hard to say whether there would be more.

Just like Furninda, she also began to doubt whether her actions were meaningful.

"."

".Will the existence that caused these changes be a turning point for everything, or an irreversible disaster?"

“.Is there any room for adjustment in the original plan?”

Knowing that the owner of these two powers will become the core of the entire Teyvat vortex,

Even if the other party has malicious intentions, then "doomsday" will come earlier than expected.

"."

I understand that I can no longer ignore all the information from the outside world as I did before.
At this moment, Fukaros, who had been collecting power for hundreds of years,

After feeling that Villette had left,
I also forced myself to cheer up and become concerned about what kind of answers this special water dragon would bring.
