Unfortunately, all of this could only remain a luxurious hope.
At that moment, An and Seymour finally arrived in a hurry.
They had rushed all the way from Gestalt. By the time they reached the opera house, the water had already flooded in.
The two swam in through the rift and only then reached this place.
"Narzissenkreuz?"
"Ah, it's you. I recognize you."
"Do you know who I am?"
"I know. There are two colors in your body."
To Mu Yang and the others who were preparing to catch up on old times and gathering around.
Seymour offered his own suggestion.
Fontaine had already been submerged by seawater due to the battle inside the Primordial Sea.
When they came in, the water was almost reaching the top of the opera house.
He suggested that they should first seal the Primordial Sea water before continuing any detailed conversation outside.
Thus, Lumine and Neuvillette worked together to complete the seal.
Everyone left this place.
Skirk naturally left through a portal. Before departing, she seemed to take a few extra glances at Mu Yang and Lumine.
She wanted to remember the appearances of the two people.
One was a descender who could rival an entire world, and the other was someone even stronger than her in swordsmanship.
Interesting. They were more interesting than her still-growing disciple.
[So is it over now?]
[Turns out we didn't even need to do anything at the end]
[Whatever, as long as Lumine's aura keeps getting higher, I'm happy]
[Mu Yang never dropped once. I have a feeling he could have solved Fontaine's crisis by himself, but it wasn't convenient for someone from Liyue to step in]
[All-Devouring Narwhal: I've fallen on hard times, brothers]
[Diluc Pot: Understood, spam "understood" in the chat]
Now, the sins of the Fontaine people had been washed away.
So being flooded by water wasn't a big deal.
Moreover, this was also part of the prophecy.
Although the sudden outburst of seawater came fiercely, because of the direction the prophecy took, Navia's Spina di Rosula and the Knave's Hotel Bouffes d'été had made preparations in advance.
Together with Wriothesley's Noah's Ark.
The people of Fontaine basically faced no danger.
When Neuvillette returned from the Primordial Sea and lowered the water level, Fontaine's disaster finally came to a complete end…
[Duke is awesome]
[That huge ship is insane]
[This is Fontaine technology]
[Octonauts, set off for rescue!]
[So shocking, such a satisfying plot. When is the movie coming out?]
[Just think about how long the buildup was…]
Furina walked out while supporting herself against the wall, unable to believe everything before her eyes.
The great flood had submerged all of Fontaine, but everyone had been saved.
Just like the sunlight after the rain…
Really, had everyone truly been saved?
In the end, was it the person in the mirror who apologized to her and said goodbye?
Where had she gone…
The prophecy shouldn't have been fake, so where did she go?
Furina used all her strength to hurry back to the Palais Mermonia as quickly as possible.
Back to her small room.
But how could there be someone else in the mirror?
There had only ever been herself in the mirror…
[I love you!]
[I fucking love you to death, miHoYo]
[Don't do this kind of thing anymore. Does it feel good to poke me secretly every time? wuwuwu]
[Let's talk about something happy. Fufu can finally let go of everything and live as a happy ordinary person]
[Looking forward to her future story quest]
Regarding this nationwide disaster.
The people of Fontaine did not act as crazily or dramatically as before.
Instead, they chose to actively participate in post-disaster reconstruction.
New flowers can bloom from old soil.
[People's view of hope is like seeing a small cookie when hungry in the middle of the night — even a little bit is enough.] — Navia
The young lady made the front page headlines, cheering everyone on.
The language has ended. There is no need to worry about tomorrow anymore.
Naturally, one should live with hope in their heart.
Mu Yang sat in the outdoor area of a café, flipping through today's Steambird morning newspaper —
It was free.
It was filled with good news about post-disaster reconstruction.
The intention behind this was obvious — to calm people's emotions.
They needed this right now.
Mu Yang's part in the story had already wrapped up. The subsequent matters at the Palais Mermonia would naturally be handled by Lumine herself — she would ask and take care of them.
Once she finished, they would go together to the Narzissenkreuz Ordo to wrap up the epilogue, and that would be the end.
Another "heart-pounding" adventure.
The system popped up. This trip had been too exhausting.
He felt like he had been stuck in water every day, and the final battle had also taken place in water.
"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me how much popularity I gained."
The system replied: "You know how to earn it. You're the boss."
While Mu Yang was idly sitting there, Navia came looking for him.
"I heard you were here." She handed over a box of pastries. "I made some macarons. Try them. I didn't have time before."
Actually, it was mainly because Mu Yang had been too busy. He had only gone to Poisson to supervise the work during the few days when the seawater erupted in Poisson.
They hadn't seen each other much otherwise.
However, Navia had always been very grateful to Mu Yang because of this matter.
Mu Yang maintained his usual tone. He had only done what he should do.
He definitely wouldn't openly admit that he had wanted to help the people of Poisson.
Whether the residents of Poisson knew or not wasn't important.
The players had already learned it through the conversation between Mu Yang and the Master.
That was what mattered.
While the two were drinking coffee and chatting, Charlotte arrived, "smelling the scent of news."
"What are you two talking about? Any interest in accepting an exclusive interview with the Steambird?"
"You really don't rest for a single moment!"
"Of course not. Fontaine right now needs these uplifting good news!"
Charlotte joined the fray, and it quickly turned into a girls' gathering. (Mistakenly)
Out of politeness, Mu Yang only answered the parts he should know.
He naturally wouldn't speak about things that couldn't be said.
Not long after, another guest dressed in Snezhnayan style arrived. However, they probably weren't here to cause trouble.
"Miss Charlotte, hello. I often see your name. I really liked the report you wrote last year about the stray cats of Fontaine."
"But if possible, please don't report about us in too high-profile a manner. After all, we are not performing righteous deeds. We simply have aligned interests with the Spina di Rosula."
It turned out that during Charlotte and Navia's conversation, the Fatui's contributions had been mentioned.
So one of the Knave's subordinates had come over to give a reminder.
Charlotte nodded. "I understand. I understand your difficulties. I will keep it as brief as possible."
"Or… perhaps you would like to be referred to as [friendly neighbors]?"
Mu Yang was speechless. What, Peter Parker?
Just as they sent off the good neighbor from Snezhnaya, Clorinde arrived.
Mu Yang thought to himself, what kind of gathering is this so early in the morning?
Isn't Fontaine supposed to gather for afternoon tea?
Drinking morning tea is a custom in Chenyu Vale, okay.
Besides, this is a coffee shop — there isn't even a proper breakfast!
Mu Yang had plenty of inner monologue, but none of it showed on his face.
He simply got to know this strongest Duel Agent through Navia's introduction.
Clorinde had already reconciled with Navia, so when she had troubles, she came to find her best friend.
She still felt that she had been wrong to raise her sword against Furina before.
So she wanted Navia to help come up with ideas.
To make Furina forgive her.
Mu Yang didn't remember this scene originally. He only knew that later Clorinde would invite Furina to a tea party.
And the two would gradually grow closer.
It probably wasn't a big issue.
Therefore, he chose to remain silent…
In the end, under a perfect group photo taken by Charlotte, Mu Yang was finally able to leave and head toward the Narzissenkreuz Ordo…
