Chapter 788 Turning Point 1
Xianotila was very proud. "We, Melusin, can see many things that humans cannot see. That's why the Shadow Chaser Court welcomes us to join. And I can see even more hidden things!"
Since she learned the meditation taught in the book, she can see more hidden things, which the book says are called "essence."
Shannotira moved closer to the Traveler Group, "You are more special than any other human I have ever seen!"
Although Paimon calmed down, he was still very dissatisfied, "You can't just treat me as a colorful balloon!"
"It's very similar," Chatinolla gestured, "It's colorful, and there's a string that's so long, it feels like it can extend all the way to the sky."
Lines... connected to the sky...
Has Paimon always been under the supervision and control of Sky Island?
Su's face darkened. "Where is the line? Chatino, show it to me."
Shannotila tried hard to feel the colorless and erratic "thread", "Here!"
Sue reached out and grabbed the "string", and Paimon's instincts screamed "No!".
The moment the "thread" broke in Su's hand, Paimon fell down with his eyes closed and was caught by Su.
Su's face turned pale, and he immediately decided to use the power of prayer to snatch Paimon from Sky Island!
The moment the thought arose, she felt an absurdly huge energy demand.
Before she could wonder if fate was deliberately making things difficult for her again, the "line" automatically repaired itself and Paimon woke up.
Paimon was a little confused, "I...what happened to me just now?"
Su hugged Paimeng tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would take her away.
Sora held her shoulders, looking at Paimon with worry in his eyes.
They already knew that Paimon was related to Sky Island, but they didn't expect that the connection between Paimon and Sky Island was closer than they originally thought.
Paimon is not some guiding spirit like a fairy. She is hiding a bigger secret, and may even be directly related to the laws of nature.
Su quickly recovered, "We will definitely see justice, then..."
At that time, they will not only hold Tianli's men accountable for forcibly seizing their sister, and ask her to apologize and compensate, but also ask Tianli to set Paimeng free!
Shannotira stepped back. "You two have become more terrifying than before..."
Sora was sure that Shatinoara had the ability to see the essence of things. "May I ask what Su and I look like in Shatinoara's eyes?"
Shannotira hesitated and told the truth, "If I must say it... it's like a monster that can swallow the world in one gulp?"
Both! But I feel like one would store the world in its stomach, while the other would just chew it up and eat it all.
Sora looked thoughtful, "I see..."
Su was in no mood to chat, so he completed Erinus's commission as quickly as possible. "Shanotila, your father asked us to remind you not to run around so as not to get lost."
Shannotira: "Eh? I stayed in the village and didn't run around."
She didn't run around, she just went for a walk in the courtyard in the book occasionally.
Before the Traveler Group left Haimo Village, Kong mentioned Shannotira and Erinus' instructions to Serin.
Serin: "That child rarely leaves the village, but since my father has said so, I will pay more attention to him. Thank you."
Kong warned, "We need to be more vigilant recently and don't let strangers into the village."
"If there is anything that cannot be handled, notify us as soon as possible." Su took out a few magical talismans for transmitting messages and told Serin how to use them.
Serin carefully put away the talisman and said, "Thank you. You will always be good friends to all the Meilushin people."
——*——*——
The next few days were calm. Everything went well except that Su stuck to Paimon very closely, which made Paimon feel a bit of sweet trouble.
"How could everything go smoothly? There is no trace of the Narcissus Cross Society that Seymour mentioned." Paimon muttered, "But I found a Narcissus Cross Court."
Narcissus Cross was a welfare institution in Fontaine long ago. It was a place to adopt and educate orphans. It was flooded during the first major flood in Fontaine.
Some underwater areas of Fontaine are dangerous, with reefs and holes that create strong whirlpools, and in one place they formed a graveyard for shipwrecks.
Narcissus Cross Courtyard is probably prohibited from private exploration due to some safety risks.
Sora: "There must be a connection between the Narcissus Cross Court and the Narcissus Cross Society. Let's get ready to explore it in a few days."
Sue: "Oh? Narcissus Cross Court prohibits private exploration. Has even the most law-abiding Sora finally decided to break the law?"
"We obey the law to avoid getting into trouble," Sora sighed, "but there are too many laws in Fontaine, and it's really hard to keep them all."
After studying the Fontaine legal provisions for a few days, he gave up completely.
There is no other reason, mainly because they have seriously violated too many terms.
For example, the Fontaine Law explicitly prohibits private possession of firearms. Adventurers registered with the Adventurers Association can own firearms, but each firearm and ammunition must be registered, and there are quantity restrictions.
Think of Suna's arsenal-like backpack...
Even if Su was willing to register, if the Fontaine officials discovered the "arsenal", he would be deported if not sent to prison.
The charge of illegal possession of a large number of weapons alone was enough to keep their group of travelers in Mellow Petersburg for ten years.
"In any case, we should keep a low profile and avoid being discovered." Kong decided to respond flexibly to Fontaine's laws.
"Kong, you finally got it," Su patted Kong's shoulder comfortingly, "Compared to the law, the only thing we should obey is the voice of our own heart!"
Paimon: "Say something cool like this but it can't hide the fact that you are an outlaw, Su."
"Then Paimon, you are the outlaw's buddy," Sue said in a ghostly voice, "I will not let you go even if I go to jail."
Paimon rubbed his arms, his hair standing on end and he felt strangely moved at the same time, for the girl was so determined to never let go of his hand, even if it meant going to the ends of the earth.
After talking about exploring Narcissus Cross in a few days, the traveler group arrived at Qianzhi House, ready to change into new clothes and go to the Opikley Opera House to watch a performance.
Su: "Qizhi, let's get the clothes~"
All the clothes for the Traveler Team have been customized. Knowing that they were going to watch a performance at the Opikley Opera House, Chizhi directly picked out suitable clothes.
Kong looked at the stockings on the tray a little embarrassedly, "This... this is the wrong one, it should be Su's..."
"No, that's yours." The three girls said in unison.
Chiori: “Stockings were originally worn by men.”
Paimon: "Linnie is also wearing black stockings."
Su: "Sora must be super suitable for wearing stockings!"
The three of them said in unison, "Hurry up and try putting on the stockings, Sora."
null:……
The blush faded from his face, and Sora was absolutely certain that he had been set up by the girls.
