Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

So, the governor of Winterland is actually the great sage of Mount Sumeru, and also the chief inspector of Mondstadt. What kind of conspiracy is behind his arrival in Fontaine?

Aina had to take this seriously.

She must protect Fontaine.

Because of... a reason that is felt but cannot be recognized.

Aina couldn't remember anymore; all she knew was that she would do everything in her power to prevent Fontaine from suffering any harm.

Centuries of perseverance have made Aina a legendary figure in the hearts of the people of Fontainebleau.

At this moment, under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Aina led her people towards Harbor.

Traveling by railboat along the Clementine Line to Harbor, they arrived to find the expected scene unfolding—the water goddess Funina, accompanied by her guards, was making a grand entrance, ready to challenge the blond traveler.

Although everything happened very suddenly, and although it was a god suddenly wanting to have a contest, and even the traveler involved was confused, the people of Fontainebleau who were staying around were all very excited and cheered loudly for the appearance of the water god.

"So, as long as you know where the traveler is, you can perfectly avoid the water god."

In a corner of the dock, Su Chen was leading the scholars of the envoy delegation, watching this scene from afar.

Before figuring out the situation of the two Fucaros, Su Chen decided to proceed cautiously, sending Ying out to scout ahead first, and then taking action once he had a clear understanding of the situation.

at this time.

Standing on the high platform, Funina pronounces judgment on the crimes of the Fireflies. Pointing to Paimon beside her, she will judge the Traveler on the grounds that "no flying objects can be released for the first three days of each month".

However, her reason was quickly refuted by Linni, the magician beside Luminous. Linni used fire to create a 'rope' between Luminous and Paimon, thus declaring Paimon a 'balloon' to avoid Frynn's accusation.

Although the process had a somewhat lame feel to it, the result was indeed useful.

"Hahaha~ Interesting, interesting, great magician Linni, I didn't expect you to think of this. But if you think you can defeat me, the God of Justice, this way, you're too naive." Funina put her hands on her hips, displaying her divine dignity with an arrogant posture.

"I regret to inform you that I have seen through your little trick just now. In the presence of the Water God, the Water God reserves the right to prosecute anyone who uses elemental power without permission!"

"Uh...sigh~ I actually forgot about that." Linni's expression froze, and she sighed helplessly.

"What?! Is this even considered law?" Paimon said angrily. "This is completely unreasonable on your part!"

"Hehe~ Openly slandering the Water God is a grave offense." Funina smiled smugly. "Now your whole family is all together~"

Paimon's eyes widened: "This is illegal?"

"Of course, Fontaine is a land of justice, and I am the embodiment of justice, so it's only natural that I'm stricter on laws related to gods, right?"

"What kind of self-evident right is this?!" Paimon stomped his feet in anger.

Compared to the law, isn't this just a willful and capricious act of personal whims?

But ironically, in Fontainebleau, it became the legal basis for judging crimes. Even though Ying and Paimon had seen a lot of things from their travels, they had never seen anything like it before.

"Lord Hein, this water god is truly...unique."

"Is she really a deity? Is it really appropriate for her to appear like this? I mean... shouldn't a deity maintain an air of mystery and majesty?"

“That’s why I said before that we must be careful about anything related to the water god in Fontainebleau,” Ramsey said, shaking his head.

Seeing the bewildered looks on the faces of the crowd, Su Chen chuckled and said, "You're young, aren't you? Who says gods have to be mysterious and sacred?"

"Is not it?"

Scholars have indeed never seen such a god.

Look at Mondstadt, look at Liyue, look at Inazuma—every god there exudes majesty and is practically invisible on ordinary days.

Su Chen smiled without saying a word.

From the memories he obtained, he learned that Funina seemed to have been like this for hundreds of years.

Although he was speechless at Fontaine's unreasonable laws.

This is clearly saying that the Water God is the best in the world. Which bastard wrote this law?

However, setting aside the absurdity of the law itself, every time Funina makes a grand entrance, there must be an unimaginable twist behind it.

Sure enough, just when the onlookers thought that Ying and the others were about to be taken to trial, Funina suddenly changed the subject, offering to help with the performance at the All-Law Festival in exchange for a pardon for their crimes.

As for why to do this, the reason is, of course, that if they could invite both the renowned magician Linni from Fontainebleau and the blond traveler from another land to participate in the Magic Festival, then the grandeur and excitement of this festival would naturally be elevated to a higher level.

"Oh my! As expected of Lady Funina, she had already thought of this."

"The outcome of the contest was already decided the moment her left foot stepped onto the dock."

"The Ten Thousand Laws Ritual, huh? I'm even more excited about it now."

Compared to Ying's sullen expression, the onlookers were all incredibly excited.

"It seems we have no choice but to agree," Linni said with a helpless expression. "Once Lady Furina makes a decision, even if we escape this trial, she will definitely find a way to make a move."

Ying hesitated for a moment, feeling that if she drew her sword to resist, she would probably be sentenced to life imprisonment... She nodded to Linni.

“Haha~ A wise choice.” Furina nodded in satisfaction. “Then, Traveler, Linni, and your two companions, please come with me to Fontaine. Remember this honor of traveling with the water god Fucarus; it will be the most glorious and momentous chapter of your lives!”

"Who wants to remember something like this!" Paimon was still furious, and Nai Zi had calmed down.

Linni was in a good mood, spreading her hands and saying, "At least if I follow Lady Funina, I should be able to enjoy good treatment, and there shouldn't be any problem with food and lodging, right?"

Paimon immediately replied, "That's fine, I want to eat the most delicious food in Fontainebleau."

"Hahaha! You guys are really interesting, not bad, not bad, I'm very satisfied with your performance." Funina burst into laughter. "Well then, I look forward to your performance at the All-Law Festival."

After saying that, she waved her hand, and the surging water elements obscured her vision as she made a grand exit under everyone's watchful eyes.

shuh~

At the corner of the high platform, Funina's figure re-emerged.

Furnessa glanced furtively at her excited subjects below, then breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied look on her face.

"Hmm, it seems the results have met expectations."

This is her first time facing off against a traveler from another land, someone who has supposedly confronted the power of a demon god. If a real fight breaks out, her three thugs alone won't be enough.

Fortunately, the other party was intimidated by her identity as the water goddess.

As for why this was done in a special way, it was naturally because of the upcoming Ten Thousand Laws Festival... Under the spotlight, Queen Funina of Ten Thousand Laws walked out of the lights, how could she be without someone to complement her?

Other festivals can be simpler, but the Wanfa Festival is the only one that cannot be.

Because, this festival was never held for the water god, but for Ryder Cross, and she is the only one who still remembers it.

Thinking of this, a look of loneliness appeared in Funina's eyes.

"Ryder...I miss you so much."

After hundreds of years of playing the role, she is exhausted, both physically and mentally. How long will it take to end?

Now, all that keeps her going is the burning passion in her heart.

Only at this moment can Funina feel that she is herself, not anyone else, nor the water god Fucarus.

"Ok?"

at this time.

Suddenly sensing something, Funina opened her hand, revealing a golden teardrop.

This is what she found in her room on that day, the day of parting.

These were Su Chen's final farewell words to her.

However, she preserved the teardrop using the remaining power of the rules.

I have treasured it ever since.

Just now.

The originally dull teardrops now emitted a faint glow.

Su Chen's image was reflected in the glistening teardrops.

Furnessa was taken aback: "Ryder?!"

...

P.S.: I've been feeling a bit tired lately, like I'm sick but not quite. I'm constantly dizzy and sleepy. The weather's changed, everyone take care of yourselves. Lots of people at school are sick. Time for my usual nap~

Chapter 137 Furina: It's Ryder! It's him! [Requesting monthly votes!!]

Da da da da da!

Rapid footsteps sounded.

The sound grew closer as it approached. Navelette, who was working, raised an eyebrow slightly. He recognized the owner of the sound from the footsteps, paused his pen, and looked up at the doorway.

boom! ——

The door was pushed open, and Funina rushed in.

"Navilette! Navilette!"

"I'm here." To avoid being overlooked, Vilette gave a polite reply.

"Quick! Look! Look!"

"?"

"look at this!"

Funina opened her hand, and the golden teardrop floated in the air.

Navelette looked puzzled.

"what happened?"

"Look!"

"I...I'm watching."
