Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Ah."

Navelette nodded slightly. Although he didn't know how Navelette had found out, he was definitely in a much better mood.

"Tsk, looks like shouting at the sky won't get the water dragon's attention; I'll have to do it face to face..."

"Huh?" Navelette didn't understand what he was saying.

Seeing his confusion, Paimon explained, "We're telling a legend about Fontainebleau. It's about a water dragon shedding tears and the sky raining."

Navelette shook her head. "I don't know who made this folk song spread. I don't think the water dragon cries. He just tasted the tears and emotions that gathered in the heart of the earth, and that's why he was moved."

Jiang Bai laughed and joked, "So, when the water dragon is sad, you have to be by his side to comfort him. He can't hear you if you shout at the sky."

Navelette remained silent, unsure how to respond.

Jiang Bai stopped teasing him and got down to business, "We want to ask about the Primordial Sea of ​​Fetal Development. What exactly is this thing that they call the Primordial Sea of ​​Fetal Development?"

"It must be said that there is actually nothing wrong with this name. Vashe's organization probably conducted a very detailed investigation to understand this concept."

"There once existed a special sea on this planet, whose water quality differed from the oceans we see today..."

Most life on Teyvat originated from that ocean, meaning it essentially nurtured much of the planet's life.

"The ocean that nurtures life... is roughly what I understand it as literally..." Jiang Bai said thoughtfully.

When Phanes created life, it is unknown whether he utilized this primordial womb.

"The original primordial ocean no longer exists on the surface of the planet... What Vashe and his team discovered must be a special case, or a remnant from some ancient era."

"Then why did the people of Fontainebleau dissolve in that seawater?"

Since it is a place that nurtures life, it shouldn't be like this.

Or is it that the life cycle of Teyvat has come to an end, and life returns to the water cycle to give birth to new life?

But if that's the case, then it should involve the entire Teyvat, not just the Fontanians.

"This doesn't actually make sense to me. The people of Fontaine must have some special secrets."

Navelette was also unaware of the reason.

"What do you think of the prophecy that Fontaine will be submerged?"

"Now two pieces of information have been fulfilled, and it is time to take this prophecy seriously. The source of this prophecy is a sentence left by the previous water god before his death."

Jiang Bai already knew this, but unfortunately the previous Water God was dead, and the clues were cut off.

“Frinna has always valued this parable, and has even gathered intelligence about it throughout Teyvat.”

"She actually values ​​this much? I never would have guessed..."

"This is probably a problem left to her by the previous water god. Hopefully, she can find a solution..."

Jiang Bai had initially thought that Navelette might have some solutions, but judging from this statement, Navelette had no solutions either.

That makes sense; he's just a water dragon king, he couldn't possibly control all the seawater in Fontainebleau.

Besides, the rise in sea level in Fontainebleau doesn't seem to be a natural occurrence.

Even the Water Dragon King couldn't do anything, so it's really hard to expect that the seemingly unreliable Water Goddess Funina to have a solution...

Jiang Bai was somewhat dejected for a moment.

Despite all the research, we still haven't found a solution.

"Why did the last court decree order the Cardinal to deliver such a verdict against D'Artagnan?" Paimon asked.

She was genuinely curious about what the young master had done wrong.

"I'm sorry, the investigation has not yet reached a conclusion. But I still believe that the 'Prophecy Machine's' verdict is not unreasonable. As an institution created by God, it unites the people's faith in 'justice'."

"Not only can it generate powerful 'compensatory energy,' it may also possess something like 'self-awareness.'"

"A self-aware cardinal decree judge?"

Good guy!

Could the heart of God be inside there?

"Could we go take a look at the core of the Prophecy Machine? Last time, Linni said he heard a human voice in the core room of the Prophecy Machine. Could it be the voice of the self-awareness of the Cardinal Prophecy Judge?"

"I'm sorry, the proclamation machine affects most of Fontaine's energy, and outsiders cannot be allowed to access it casually."

"All right……"

Jiang Bai was thinking of finding an opportunity to sneak into the room where the core of the Cardinal Decree was kept, just like Lin Ni did last time, but if the Cardinal Decree had self-awareness, it would be too dangerous.

If he gets caught, he can't beat Vilette, and he won't be able to escape even if he wants to.

His arrest will definitely make the newspapers, and if the gang leader sees it, I can't even imagine what will happen...

"So, young master, what are your plans to do?"

"We have temporarily detained him in Melo-Pedeburg. He will be put on trial again after the investigation is completed."

Mello Peterborough, Fontainebleau's only prison.

It is said to be located deep underground in the sea, isolated from the outside world. Once inside, one cannot come out unless the sentence is served, which adds to its legendary status.

I hope you enjoy your time inside.

At this point, Jiang Bai had nothing more to ask.

He planned to visit various parts of Fontainebleau after the celebratory banquet.

Currently, Fontaine has only been to a few places. If he wants to investigate the secrets of the ancient times, he can only go to those ancient ruins submerged in the sea.

He was free, so he asked Villette if she had seen his sister.

Unfortunately, Villette had no recollection of Ying, so it's hard to say whether Ying ever actually visited Fontainebleau.

The celebration banquet was a very enjoyable experience.

Navia had a great worry resolved, and Jiang Bai also found the primordial waters of the fetal sea.

Although there is still no clue how to deal with the apocalyptic crisis in Fontaine, at least it is a big step forward.

"There are many unique things about Fontaine... Whether it's the bombed-out Academy of Sciences, the Erinas in the Azure Crystal District, or the ruins of Cabernetsburg, they are all very special places."

"I know the Academy of Sciences. When you ride the rail patrol boat, you can see water cubes hanging in the sky. What is Erinas?"

"It's like a landmass formed from the corpse of a giant beast. When you're in the airship, you can even see the skull of that dead beast. But it's also extremely dangerous there..."

Chapter 882 Terrifying

When did that giant beast appear?

Navia thought for a moment, "It seems to have been 500 years ago. I don't know much about these things, and I'm not quite sure."

Navia only knew that the giant beast died 500 years ago, and that the people of Fontaine paid a heavy price to kill it, but she didn't know exactly when it appeared.

"It's been five hundred years again..."

Jiang Bai frowned slightly. Could this be some kind of abyssal creature?

His curiosity was piqued, and he decided to go and take a look.

"There are many indescribable monsters over there, it's very dangerous, you must be careful if you go."

Navia knew a little about Jiang Bai's deeds and had considerable confidence in his abilities.

"Ah."

Jiang Bai dived directly from the waters of Baisong Town and followed the direction on the map to the waters of Erinas.

Five hundred years have passed, and most of Erinus’s form has been covered by soil and sand, and the bones have weathered and become one with the rock.

Except in certain specific areas, it's hard to imagine that you're currently inside a behemoth.

Jiang Bai drifted along the narrow, winding passageway, carried by the ocean currents. This place was much like the intestines of a giant beast. Jiang Bai had no idea where he would land when the ocean currents stopped.

The sound of rushing water surging in your ears, the water plants brushing against your cheeks as they move quickly—walking through such a passage can easily bring a sense of oppression and fear.

Fortunately, Jiang Bai doesn't have a fear of deep seas, otherwise coming to a place like this would be just asking for trouble.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Bai felt the water flow calm down, and he had now arrived at a still body of water, where light shone through the water curtain above his head.

Following the light upstream, Jiang Bai poked his head out of the water.

Where is this?

What comes into view are some oddly shaped houses, round in shape, which to some extent imitate seashells and conches.

Jiang Bai saw some Meilushin dressed in simple clothes walking among these houses.

"Could this be Haimo Village?"

Jiang Bai knew that Haimo Village was the place of birth, and that Meilushin, who lived in Fengdanting, came from there, but he had never imagined that this village was underground.

"Oh! It's someone I don't know!"

A merusin that was fishing nearby spotted the head emerging from the water.

"Hello, is this Haimo Village?" Jiang Bai emerged from the water and shook off the water.

"Yes, that's right. Are you a guest from outside?"

Little Meiluxin nodded her head, her erect ears wobbling, making her exceptionally cute.

"I was washed here by ocean currents, and this is my first time here."

"Would you like to come to Yara's house as a guest?" The little Melushin warmly invited Jiang Bai.

"May I?"

"Yes! Yara has been researching human food lately and wants to find some humans to taste it."

Jiang Bai readily agreed.

Since Melusin can live in Fontaine, the food they eat is not much different from that of humans. It's just a matter of testing the food; it's a minor issue.

A little Melusin named Yara put away her fishing rod, skipped and hopped to pick up a small bucket with a few small fish in it.

"Yara has had a great day! She'll definitely be able to make some delicious food!"

Jiang Bai watched her small figure bouncing around with the bucket, worried that all the water in the bucket would spill out.

However, Jiang Bai's worries were unnecessary; the bucket remained stable.

Jiang Bai walked on the red grass, already used to the various strange geography of Teyvat.

"Have you always lived in Haimo Village?" Jiang Bai asked Meilushin as they walked.

"Yes, Yara loves the village. It's so comfortable here! Sister Raya sends letters from Fontainebleau. She says there are many kinds of human food and even sent recipes. Yara wants to try making the dishes in the recipes..."

Yara was naive; before Jiang Bai could even ask her anything, she blurted out everything.

Haimo Village is not isolated from the world; most of the people living here, including Meilushin, simply enjoy their lives here and don't want to leave.

However, they were still somewhat curious about the outside world.

"I'm a pretty good cook too, I can help out."

"The guests just need to enjoy it!"

Along the way, Meiluxin greeted Yara from time to time, and Jiang Bai also got to know quite a few Meiluxin.

Melusins ​​are genderless; they appear to be asexual beings, and all Melusins ​​can be referred to as "she".

"I've arrived home!"

Yara's house was a two-story conch shell. For Meilushin, the house was very large, but for Jiang Bai, it was a bit cramped.

Fortunately, he was tall enough to stand upright in the room without having to bend over.

Yara was busy in the kitchen, while Jiang Bai watched from the side.

She watched as Yara put the whole fish directly into the pot without scaling it or gutting it.

Then she quickly put the lid on the pot to prevent the still-living fish from escaping.

After waiting for about two minutes, the temperature in the pot rose, and the fish inside gradually stopped moving.

Yara lifted the lid of the pot, and the fish that had been scalded to death stared blankly at the ceiling with its dead eyes.

Because of the vigorous jumping, a lot of fish meat stuck to the pan, which hadn't been brushed with any oil.
