Chapter 788: White Dew and Black Tide Prologue 9 (Completed)

Chapter 788: White Dew and Black Tide Prologue 9 (Completed)

March 7: Okay

But Paimon is right. No matter what the fable says, it would be hard for normal humans to survive if they were submerged in water...

Yes, they said "dissolved in the sea", how can it be "not necessarily dead"

I see. In fact, they have degenerated into super tiny marine microorganisms.

I think the guy's idea is the most reasonable. It's free anyway, why not give it up? What if it comes in handy someday?

Given the number of accidents that occur wherever travelers go, should we plan to move ahead? To another country?

Well, there’s no need to move to another country. Why not try the high terrain of Fontaine first?

Red King: That’s a good idea, but other countries will definitely not accept it, so it’s best not to try to merge with other countries.

Ugh?

Red King: Nothing.

Doctor: If the entire country moves away, other countries won’t dare to accept them easily, right? Otherwise, there will definitely be a big mess. For the locals, it’s like half of their home has been taken away by someone else. For the people of Fontaine, it’s already very uncomfortable to be forced to leave their hometown, and it’s also very difficult to be accepted in a strange place... Hmm...

So moving everyone away is definitely not feasible, unless we find a place with no people, but generally such a place must have a bad environment, otherwise it would have been occupied by someone long ago. And now is not the Demon War period, so we can just start fighting wherever we like...

At this time, I especially envy Xianzhou's ()

I see. The people of Fontaine will build a big ship and wander on the sea?

March 7: That’s too…

Xianzhou is also trying to find the way back, so the people of Fontaine must not want this to happen, right?

It's okay, think positively, although the arrival of the traveler means that things will break out, they will all be resolved in the end.

Hey! I have an idea. When the tourists come, why don't we go on a trip?

Administrator Q: It’s best not to.

?

Administrator Q: Don’t ask. If you do, I’ll give you the same old answer: you’ll know later.

Ok

Sea dew flower... water element... er, watering should be okay, right? After all, I don't think Linny and Linnet are the water element God's Eye?

Just water it, and you can harvest directly from the sea without watering.

It seems that those elemental monuments can indeed be removed with the corresponding elemental items...

Hey, that girl... is a thief?

Oh my god, how come a thief suddenly appeared? Is it to deliberately emphasize that Fontaine's ancestors stole something?

Uh, maybe it's just a transitional plot?

March 7: Couldn’t it be related to the subsequent plot?

Fujimaru Ritsuka: Maybe it’s because everyone is still thinking about the ‘prophecy’, so they subconsciously think in that direction.

……really

Uh...um...is there a possibility...that she is not from Fontaine?

?

Where else could they be from? Mondstadt? I remember the Treasure Steals came from Mondstadt, right? Treasure Steals?

The Ubiquitous Treasure Thieves ()

And there are fools ()

Young Master: Don't talk like we have them everywhere. The real ones are the Abyss Monsters.

Wait, I think I saw a giant sea dew flower?

That’s not a sea dew flower, it looks like a big tree… wait, a big tree… why does this element seem familiar?

The big tree in the Windrise in Mondstadt, the big tree in Wangshu Inn in Liyue, the big tree at Liyue Nantianmen, the big cherry tree at Inazuma Shrine, the big tree in Xumi City and the World Tree... um... the classic big tree has appeared?

Paimon: This tree is very suitable for Fontaine, it looks blue

By the way, could it be that Linny and the others let him go on purpose? Or did they just want to help get the things back and didn't intend to arrest him?

Couldn't it be that it was simply twisted?

A magician, a skilled magician at that, must also be very skilled in body movements, but how could he sprain his ankle while chasing a thief? Is this right?

Uh...can't refute

Could it be that the thief is really highly skilled?

Well, it's possible.

By the way, the statue of the water god in Fontaine is also standing this time... uh, is there an order for this too?

What order?

March 7: It can't be that we start with the traveler and follow the order of each country, one standing and one sitting, taking turns like that?

Is this correct? Can this also predict the order in which travelers will travel in advance?

Not necessarily. Here's an interesting one: the Rock Kingdom, the Grass Kingdom, and the Fire Kingdom are connected, while the Thunder Kingdom and the Water Kingdom are island-like.

What about Mondstadt in the Kingdom of Wind? Their statue is standing, but it is connected to Liyue, and it is not an island kingdom.

Well, that might be in the order of the traveler's journey.

If the statue of the God of Fire is standing, it may simply be to respect the elderly and love the young.

Administrator Q: Don’t guess, he was sitting.

Died of laughter, respect the old and love the young hahaha

[Under the leadership of Linny and Linnet, the travelers and Paimon boarded the patrol ship to Fontaine. On the ship, they also met Charlotte, a reporter from the Steambird Newspaper.

The girl also recognized the Traveler and Paimon, and was surprised that she met so many important people today.

During the conversation, the traveler heard from Charlotte about a case whose murderer had never been found - the "serial disappearance of girls case". From about twenty years ago until now, girls would disappear at regular intervals. Those girls were of similar age and disappeared without a trace.

They chatted all the way until they were almost at the station. The four of them said goodbye to Charlotte, and Linny invited the traveler and Paimon to go home with him.

Track patrol ship... um...

Speaking of which, this pair of siblings... well... I wonder if they will remind the traveler of his sister.

Surely... huh?

Traveler: Stop talking. It's because you hinted that Linny's background was questionable before. Now that you say that, I have to suspect that you deliberately arranged for someone to meet me based on my personality...

Don't mention it, it's terrifying when you think about it

Huh? Who is this?

It should be someone who has appeared in the content that has not been broadcast, right?

Reporter... Steambird Newspaper...

Apart from anything else, Fontaine’s civilian technology seems to be much more advanced than that of other countries?

No, again, the other countries were probably localized... um... so I couldn't see it for a while, and Fontaine itself is a country that is built more towards steampunk, so it looks more obvious.

Newspaper reporters, famous magicians, the Inquisition... Uh, why do I have a feeling something is going to happen?

Hiss, the main plot here is not about being a detective, right? The only thing missing is a detective? !

What does it mean to insert a magician? Is it a thief?

Um, could he be considered a victim? Or a suspect?

Linny:?

Brother Linny probably wants to ask, are you polite?

Linney: No, I won't ask, because you guys are not polite at all.

Paimon: Ahahaha

Good boy, the case has appeared ()

Traveler: But I'm not a detective. I won't rush in excitedly after hearing about a case, right?

Fujimaru Ritsuka: Indeed, this should be Mr. Holmes's hobby

Holmes: I am indeed interested.

March 7: But I think even if you solved the puzzle, you wouldn’t tell us in the comments…

Mashu: I don't think this is surprising at all.

But...if there is a serial disappearance of young girls...could it be abduction or something?

It’s very possible, but why is it only girls? If it was abduction, although girls are involved...but the missing rate of children wouldn’t be low, right?

Indeed, since it is a case of a missing girl, it is probably a case of targeting the girl alone, and it is highly unlikely that it is abduction and trafficking, unless there is some kind of industrial chain. But if it has become a big deal, then the Fontaine officials should not be completely deprived of any information.

Funina: Yes, if they are still in Fontaine, with my intelligence organization, it is impossible that we can’t find any information at all. Even if a large number of people are transferred, it is impossible that I have no information at all. So they are not taken to other countries.

Well, the Water God's intelligence organization is really powerful. It even captured the traveler's route.

Doctor: This... let me make a bold guess. If the main plot of the story is about the missing girls, and if the main plot is the "prophecy" before, then could it be that these girls were thrown into the sea and dissolved? Otherwise, there is no reason to bring it up for no reason, right?

But again, if it is true that if you simply fall into the sea and dissolve, it would have been discovered long ago. With such a large body of water, it is estimated that many people fall into it every year.

Indeed, the people of Fontaine are very good at water, and no one has ever been seen falling into the water and dissolving.

What about seawater? Isn't Fontaine freshwater? Maybe it is not soluble in freshwater but soluble in seawater, and then for some reason the waters of Fontaine will become seawater?

It's as if the people of Teyvat, which is so big, have never been to the sea. I remember that there were Fontaine merchants in Inazuma before.

Well... I know it can't be that simple.

March 7: Could it be that this 'sea' refers to something else - um, something related to the sea?

Is it possible that the murderer was simply very skilled and hid the person well, so he was not discovered? Even the information about the water god...cannot be found?

It's not impossible

But I can't help thinking about that prophecy ()

But if the first disappearance happened almost twenty years ago, I don’t know what the prophecy was about at the time... uh... it seemed like it was said to have been made a long time ago, but I remember that the prophecy was only taken seriously because of the recent rise in sea levels?

The difference in timelines...

Doctor: But the prophecy has indeed existed for a long time, and there are real gods in Teyvat, so why can't it be that signs of the prophecy have already appeared a long time ago, but have only been clearly manifested now?

Many people were arrested as suspects... Uh, is it possible that it wasn't done by one person?

March 7: Although we are just chatting now, I always feel that the traveler will eventually be involved in the missing girl case.

Traveler: I feel the same...

Paimon: Look at the bright side, now everyone knows the truth, so there’s no need to investigate later!

By the way, looking at this road, Fontaine is indeed a kingdom of water. Many buildings are built on the water, and it seems that there are also many construction areas under the water.

Maybe the rising water was transferred to the upper part?

Uh, indeed

But why are all the large buildings built on the water, but there are not many on the hills?

It is also possible that those hills were high mountains that were difficult to build on before, but because of the rising water level, they became small islands in our eyes.

……

So, if this is true, then it can indeed be seen that the sea level has risen...

But it didn't flood the shipping lanes. It might be because Fontaine used water conservancy projects, so it was built in the water.

It is possible. After all, it is the territory of the water god, so it is possible that he is good at using water.

I remember Mondstadt also has windmill-type buildings, probably powered by wind. Liyue makes money and has large mining areas... Inazuma... Inazuma doesn't seem to have a power plant?

Administrator Q: Inazuma has demon residue (not really.

Oh my god, pollution, huh?

It appeared, the most obvious elevator. Unlike other countries, we don't know where the elevator is hidden. We can't find it unless the traveler takes the elevator in front of us.

Hahaha

Wow, the decorations on that fountain are just as magical as the ones in the office of the Great Sage Xumi.

It doesn’t have to be a decoration…

[The traveler, Paimon followed Linny to his residence in the city and met the siblings' other brother, Femini. From what Linny said, there were many other members in his family.

Femini seemed to have something to say to Linny, and the traveler asked them to talk about important things first. After they came back, Linny gave Femini the materials he had collected before.

Before they had even started chatting for a few words, it started raining in the sunny Fontaine. Linnie explained that this kind of sudden rain would occur when there was a trial in Fontaine.

Femini told the traveler and Paimon a legend about Fontaine. It is said that there was once a water dragon king in Fontaine, but his whereabouts are now unknown. However, it is said that when the dragon king cries, it will rain.

Femini's mother also taught him a 'spell': when he wants to go out to play on a rainy day, he should shout to the sky: "Water Dragon - Water Dragon - Don't cry -". 】

Then the traveler and Paimon were taken home by Linny.

Maybe we were overthinking it before. Is Linni really just a character who leads to the subsequent plot? Is he a supporting role like Tinari?

Do you believe what you said?

Well, his appearance is really amazing.

There is also a little boy... um... why do I feel like... this boy's style seems familiar?

Dome: @Mikhail @Misha

Mikhail: This kid is a natural at playing with mechanics.

Linny: Femini does like mechanical things, but his best skill is diving.

So, Mikhail was indeed born from an ocean planet, hahaha

Gallagher: Although Misha is also introverted, he is much better than this kid.

Indeed, at first glance the clothing styles are very similar, but there are still differences. I can only say that it is probably because of the style prototype.
