Chapter 765: Appearance
After the man left, the group of travelers noticed a young girl not far away.
It has cat ears and a tail, a big bow in its hair, and is leaning dangerously toward the water.
"Um..." Paimon said in a low voice, worried and afraid of scaring the other party: "Are you feeling unwell or in a bad mood? Do you need help?"
The girl turned around, revealing a cute little expressionless face with a star sticker on her left cheek.
"Thank you. My name is Linnet. I don't need any help at the moment." Linnet pointed to the flooded area. "I'm just missing the little dirt slope where I used to play with my brother."
"In my memory, he was jumping around there, raising a lot of sand, and the air was filled with the smell of sunshine and sea breeze."
There was a hint of nostalgia and melancholy in Linnet's voice, "The sea is swallowing up our memories bit by bit..."
"Linnet..." The travelers all looked sad.
"I haven't seen this face before. Is it my sister Linnet's new friend?"
A boy who looked exactly like Linnit, but was wearing clothes of a different style and color than Linnit, but clearly from the same series, walked over with a smile.
Linnet's brother?
Su and Paimeng were horrified and said in unison, "So you're not dead?!"
The tear on the boy's right cheek seemed to turn into a drop of silent cold sweat, "Linnet, are you telling all the new travelers that I'm dead?"
"No, brother." Linnet's face was still expressionless. "Maybe there was a little deviation in the communication and understanding between the two sides."
Paimon: "Is that a little bit of a deviation? Linnet, we really thought your brother died when you were a child!"
Linnet's brother is named Linnie. Unlike Linnet who usually has a blank expression, he is a lively boy who loves to laugh and is good at socializing.
Linnet: "Thank you for caring about my sister. She is usually very quiet and I am the only one talking. The fact that everyone can chat shows that Linnet likes you very much. Of course, I also have a good impression of you."
Paimon: "We think Linnet is cute!" Cat girl, hehehe!
Kong thought about it and asked Linni, a native of Fontaine, about the news of the water god.
As Linny opened his mouth, a burst of eye-catching rapid drum beats rang out.
Everyone looked towards the clock tower of Hailu Port. A guard of honor in neatly-dressed uniforms ran out quickly and stood on both sides of the road. They saluted in unison, ready to wait for the protagonist to take the stage.
All the Fontaine people in the entire Harbor of Hailu couldn't suppress their excitement and anticipation as they looked up, and the traveler team also raised their heads in confusion.
"Rich, poor, with glasses or nothing," the girl's voice sounded like an aria, "raise your glasses! If you don't have any, use your arms instead."
Su looked intently at the girl standing on the high place.
The slender girl was wearing a gorgeous royal blue lapel suit with a ribbon with gold tassels extending from the white vest inside.
Large pieces of top-grade, round, teardrop-shaped gemstones were neatly dotted all over her clothes, but they were not brighter than her pair of eyes, one dark and one light in color.
The girl's white curly hair with a hint of light blue was soft and fluffy. The edge of her crooked hat was surrounded by a golden iris crown, making her look luxurious and noble.
"As you can see, strange travelers have come to my country. Come, let us send them blessings. Cheers, travelers from afar!"
The people of Fontaine clapped and cheered loudly, completely immersed in the surprise appearance of the most popular, eye-catching and popular star in the whole of Fontaine. They had no extra eyes or attention to pay to the group of travelers welcomed by the water god.
"Lady Funina! Lady Funina!"
Some of the Fontaineland people waved their hands, some waved feather fans, and some waved handkerchiefs and flowers, trying to attract the god's attention to themselves.
The protagonist on the high stage was staring intently at the group of travelers, showing her calmness and nobility.
Funina said slowly, "I have heard that you have caused bloodshed in several countries, but I still welcome you. No, I will come to greet you in person."
Su, feeling that he had received the attention he deserved, was pleasantly surprised. “She’s so friendly!”
Oh my god! There was no need for them to go to great lengths to find this god, who showed up and lined up to welcome them! This was the first one!
Su's favorability towards Funina soared.
However, Furninna changed the subject and said proudly, "Fear is the behavior of small people. I am a god, and I will not take such meaningless caution as my creed."
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Water. The purpose of your audience is to better appreciate my power and authority. I, Fukaros, will acknowledge the value and significance of your journey. Now, you may cheer to your heart's content!"
Amid the excited screams of the people of Fontaine, the traveler team remained calm and expressionless.
Traveler Team: …………
Paimon showed an indescribable expression, "How should I put it? Doesn't it feel like the Water God's "opening remarks" were a bit... uh... too much?"
If she were to exaggerate a little more, she would be embarrassed for the water god. The last person who made her tap her toes on the air was Fischl.
"Pretentious," Sora thought there was something strange about it, "and she always emphasizes her status as a god."
Su looked at the people of Fontaine who were cheering and even wiping tears everywhere, "Maybe the people of Fontaine have this kind of exaggerated, sentimental and dramatic style of painting."
But what Kong said was right, a god like this is so pompous... it's not cold, arrogant and noble enough.
High up, Finina looked at the group of travelers who were completely unmoved with a puzzled expression.
What happened? Didn't the Traveler Team fall for her divine beauty?
The black-haired girl, the one whose name was Su according to the intelligence, had an even colder expression than before!
The atmosphere was awkward for both the welcomers and the welcomed, and the audience finally had the mood to focus on the Traveler Group.
A well-informed Fontaine man who liked to pay attention to strange people and things recognized the Traveler Team and said excitedly: "Oh! It's the famous Traveler Team!"
"The Traveler Team came to our Fontaine to have a wonderful duel with our god, Lady Funina?"
"Ohhh! That's so exciting. I know Lady Funina won't let us down!"
Listening to the enthusiastic cheers of the Fontaine people, Paimon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Why are they suddenly helping us to fight with the gods? Do the Fontaine people like to watch the fun so much?"
Linnie on the side smiled and nodded, "That's right, our favorite place in Fontaine is the Opiclay Opera House, and our favorite thing to do is to watch various performances."
Finina, who was standing high above, glanced at the taciturn but absolutely reliable guardian standing below, and responded to the expectations of her people with one hand on her waist, "Just as you imagined, I am indeed determined to have an epic duel with the travelers from foreign lands!"
Hearing this, Kong drew out his sword directly, and Su released a wind field that lifted him into the air on the spot.
Paimon covered his mouth with his hands. "This! Are we going to fight all of a sudden? This is progressing too fast..."
