Chapter 758 Which side will you stand on?
Navelette naturally noticed that after he suppressed the Primal Fetal Sea, these two dukes and dueling agents, who were practically the strongest fighters in Fontaine, were radiating an undisguised hostility towards him.
"It seems you have many questions to ask."
Leosley smiled and raised his chin. "Seeing how easily you handle the threat of the fetal sea, I think anyone would have many questions. Why don't we start with your identity as the judge? After all, although I had my suspicions for a long time, I would still feel more at ease if I heard it from you."
Clarind nodded. "I'd also like to know why, when the disaster struck, His Majesty the Duke immediately thought of having me invite you."
Xu Ning leaned against the cold steel corridor wall, slowly sipping his wine, quietly waiting for Villette to speak.
In the country of Fontaine, it seems that everyone has two identities: carefully hiding their secrets at night, and putting on a mask and drawing back the curtain of their performance when the sun rises.
Considering the judge's unreasonable stance, Xu Ning was also very curious about where his ability came from.
However, Navelette remained silent.
Claude glanced at Leosley, who scratched his head helplessly and spoke.
"Your Honor, you've picked up bad habits from the people in the dock. Never uttering a word until you hear concrete charges? Fine, then I'll speak. It's a nursery rhyme we've all heard since childhood, about a water dragon king in Fontainebleau..."
Water Dragon King? One of the seven ancient dragon kings, the water element dragon king, and an ancient dragon like Apep, the Grass Dragon?
Xu Ning paused in his drink. If Vilet was a member of the ancient dragon clan, then his stance would be clear, and what he wanted to do would also be perfectly clear.
“You guessed right. However, the legendary former water dragon has been dead for a long time, and I am his successor.”
The three of them had witnessed Vilette's power, so Vilette did not deny Leosley's guess and spoke frankly about it.
"No wonder you could suppress the Primordial Sea of Fetuses so easily. So, Your Honor, would you be interested in exchanging duties with me? I suddenly feel that you are much more suitable to be in charge here than I am. The Duke can be your role, and your role as judge can go to the always impartial Clorind. As for me, I'll be a dueling proxy, after all, I'm also good at fighting..."
“Your Grace,” Clorind interrupted Leosley with a slight frown, “we don’t have much time to waste.”
Both Clarinde and Leosley had some knowledge of the history of Teyvat.
The ancient dragons once ruled over all the lands and skies of Teyvat. Although the two did not know what happened in the earliest times, the disappearance of the ancient dragons and the eventual rise of humanity on the earth made it clear that the two were related.
So the first thing we need to determine now is whether Villette is a friend or an enemy.
Leosley naturally understood this as well, and asked Navelette directly, "As we just saw, you seem to be able to control the waters of the Primordial Sea of the Womb. So, will you be the one to initiate the final judgment of this prophecy?"
Navelette calmly replied, "This grand trial is for all Fontaines, it has nothing to do with me, and I will not participate in the judgment."
Clarinde knew that the judge had never lied, and when she heard him say that someone else had instigated the disaster, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with Leosley, and the two of them put away their weapons together.
"Then, Your Honor, are you powerful enough to directly resolve this prophetic crisis?"
Navelette shook her head. "That was all I could do. The elemental dragons in this world today, including myself, are all incomplete. It is said that the first tyrant descended upon Teyvat, stole a portion of the dragons' power, and divided it among the seven Daedric Lords. Unless the god who possesses the power of water disappears or returns that portion of the power to control the elements, there is nothing I can do."
Upon hearing this last sentence, both Leosley and Claurind's expressions changed.
Does this Water Dragon King mean that only if Lady Funina returns his power to him can he avert this disaster for Fontaine?
Should we help the ancient dragon race seize the power of the Water God?
Navelette, of course, knew the impact her words would have on the two of them, and continued, "I know that this is impossible given the current situation, so I still suggest we find another way to fight the prophecy. As for my identity, I hope you can keep it a secret, at least in these turbulent times, to minimize the doubts of the people of Fontainebleau. If you still have any questions, you can find another time to talk to me about those ancient topics."
Clarinde seemed somewhat unwilling to accept this answer.
"Since you can't solve the prophesied disaster, why did you stop Mr. Xu Ning from continuing to collect the water from the Primordial Sea of Conception? If his gourd could take away the water from the Primordial Sea of Conception, wouldn't the disaster in Fengdan be easily resolved? Even if the flood is inevitable, as long as there is no liquid that can dissolve the people of Fengdan, at least the losses can be minimized..."
Navelette then looked at Xu Ning, "The Primal Ocean is the life-giving sea of this planet. Without it, Teyvat will slowly die, and..."
"...I still can't figure out what's inside your gourd, but I advise you not to do such a thing. I have things to do upstairs, so I won't stay any longer."
After saying this last sentence, Navelette slowly walked out of the passage and headed upwards.
Leosley did not stop him. After Navelette went up, he looked at Xu Ning.
What did he mean by saying 'Teyvat will die slowly'?
Xu Ning shrugged. "I don't really understand either. I've heard that life itself originates from the ocean, which might mean that without the primordial sea of conception, no new life can be born? And people gradually stop having children? Hmm, combined with the legend of Lu Jingquan praying for a child, it does make logical sense..."
Listening to Xu Ning's boundless speculation, Clarind smiled wryly and said, "If this disaster doesn't pass, I'm afraid only one in ten of Fontaine's population will survive. At that time, who will care about having children? I'm going up too. I... want to ask the Water God about the prophecy..."
Seeing that Clorinde was about to leave, Xu Ning called out from behind, "Agent, if the Water Dragon King insists on taking over the Water God's authority in order to break the prophecy, which side will you stand on?"
