Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

To be honest, for Arecino, who lacks a sense of security, this lip gloss made her even happier than the Blessing of Abundance.

At this moment, Arecino's heart completely tipped in Gu Jing's favor. The Winter Queen? Who's that? She's really not familiar with her! It's best not to contact her again; she's afraid Gu Jing will misunderstand!

"Gentlemen—"

"Let's begin exploring the ruins."

Chapter 131 The Doomsday Prophecy Tablet; The Serial Disappearances of Young Girls

An hour later, Gu Jing and his group saw the stone tablets with prophetic content engraved at the end of the ruins. There should have been four stone tablets, but the first stone tablet was missing from the ruins.

Furthermore, it was written below: "[This is a nation that deserves to perish, and I will record its future history in the past.]"

The question of who left the stone tablet remains a mystery, but considering that the princess on the snow mountain could also foresee the dragon Dulin, it's not entirely incomprehensible that the other party could see future events from the past.

As for the contents of the prophetic tablets?

The fourth stone slab depicts Funina sitting on the throne, weeping.

Upon seeing the contents of this painting, everyone was immediately convinced that these stone tablets were indeed the source of the Fontaine doomsday prophecy.

In the second painting, a group of people are kneeling and worshipping an island floating in the sky, their devout postures resembling confessions.

The third painting depicts Funina falling into the water, surrounded by a group of people. Although the reason for this is unknown, this information is relevant.

Navia and the others present all felt that the person leading the kneeling worship of Sky Island in the second painting should be the first water god.

After a moment of silence, Arecino concluded: "So, what did the first water god do to bring about this disaster?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Gu Jing.

Gu Jing remained noncommittal: "That's one way to interpret it, but as I said before, this prophecy should be seen as a warning."

"And the disaster was clearly not on Sky Island."

"Or rather, Ergolia's confession was effective."

"otherwise..."

"Fontaine is long gone."

In response, Clarin and the others, who were looking at the second stone tablet, nodded thoughtfully. Sky Island was always built with nails, and Lady Frinna probably wouldn't survive either. It didn't seem to have anything to do with the prophecy.

As for the first missing tablet among these prophetic tablets, Arecino knew its approximate location at this time.

However, finding it in the vast Fontainebleau Lake was obviously not an easy task, so the task was left to the three Lin siblings.

But...everyone knew in their hearts that this stone slab was definitely the reason why the Fontaine people dissolved in the water!

Charlotte, bursting with curiosity, was utterly exasperated: "Damn it! Mr. Gu Jing must have known all along that this would be the outcome!"

"They know why, but they just won't say!"

"They're finding all sorts of ways to torment my girlish heart!"

"That's so mean!!!"

Seeing her stamping her feet in frustration, like a rabbit about to bite someone, Navia and the others around her couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Jing chuckled and teased, "This is the pain that everyone experiences when pursuing the truth, Miss Charlotte. And those who directly spoil the plot are the most despicable, aren't they? Besides, what I see isn't necessarily all correct."

"Besides—"

"I can lie too."

******

Admittedly, Gu Jing's statement was indeed fair. Putting aside their anxiety for the time being, everyone prepared to deal with the series of missing girls.

Arecino, who had nothing to do for the time being, also expressed her intention to join Gu Jing and the others.

However... although everyone has been spending time together these days, Yingmei hasn't been too intimate with Gu Jing during work.

Paimon, who looks like a child, doesn't make you feel threatened at all. But Arecino, who suddenly appears, is a real catfish!

Seeing that she was clinging to Gu Jing and that Gu Jing seemed to be enjoying it, Navia couldn't help but feel a little complicated; Klorin's expression seemed calm, but her subtle gaze would occasionally drift towards Gu Jing.

Yingmei, Paimon, and Charlotte still had smiles on their faces, and Charlotte even brought up the case of the serial disappearances of teenage girls.

A clear and pleasant voice echoed through the ruins: "In the last twenty years, girls have been disappearing in Fontaine."

This series of cases was known as the 'serial disappearances of teenage girls'.

"Mr. Carles, the former president of the Rose Society, also investigated the serial disappearances of teenage girls."

"But at a banquet later."

"Mr. Carles has been accused of murder in connection with the shooting at the banquet."

"And the evidence at the time also pointed to Mr. Carles."

"But what's puzzling is..."

"Mr. Carles refuses to stand trial."

"And in accordance with the rules, he proposed to prove his innocence through a duel."

"The result...sigh..."

Charlotte sighed and stopped talking.

Navia continued with a sorrowful expression: "I wanted to stop it, but the Supreme Inquisitor refused me. My father died in that duel and even bore the infamy of [the unjust Kares]."

"But I'm willing to vouch for it with my integrity!"

"My father, Kares, is absolutely not the murderer!"

"He had no reason to kill anyone."

"My intuition tells me..."

"He must have discovered something during the investigation!"

That's why he was framed by the mastermind behind the scenes.

"But intuition cannot serve as evidence."

"So after I took over the Rose Society, I have been investigating the serial disappearances of girls."

"I want to find out the truth about this."

"I also want to prove my father Carres' innocence."

Well—not knowing the situation, Yingmei and Paimon didn't say anything out of turn.

Charlotte, however, added quite excitedly:

“I share Navia’s opinion; Mr. Kares is definitely not a bad person!”

"The first reason is Mr. Carres' character."

"He was the founder of the Rose Society."

"The purpose of the Rose Society is to help those in need."

"And everyone's ridden on the rail patrol boats..."

“The entire Fontaine has a total of three waterways.”

"The Carles storyline, the Clementine storyline, and the Navia storyline."

“These waterways are named after Mr. Carles and his family of three.”

"And to recognize the contributions made by the Rose Society."

"The Palace of Moman also wishes to bestow upon Mr. Carles the title of 'Earl.'"

But he refused.

"The second reason is that it's unnecessary."

"To put it bluntly, the Rose Society is a large and powerful organization. If they really wanted to kill someone, they wouldn't need to do it themselves!"

******

Clorind remained silent, her feelings a complex mix. She was the one who killed Kares in the duel, and her duty as the duel's proxy prevented her from holding back. Kares had also entrusted Navia to her before his death.

However... even though they've been working together recently, Navia remains lukewarm towards her 'father's killer'.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but interject: "I was the one who dueled with Mr. Carles back then. I could feel that Mr. Carles was determined to die."

"this..."

Why didn't you say something like this sooner?

Navia was in great pain, and her gaze toward Clorinde was full of confusion. Clorinde, who was being stared at, really didn't dare to look her in the eye.

However, she wasn't deliberately hiding it: "Mr. Carles' last wish was for me to protect your safety, so if I told you..."

She stopped there, but what she meant was already quite clear, and Navia couldn't help but give a wry smile.

She picked up the conversation with remarkable self-awareness: "If I had known about this, I would have investigated it at all costs. But the current Rose Society cannot guarantee my personal safety at all, so you chose to keep it a secret, right?"

Clarind 0.6 nodded: "Yes, but now we still have Mr. Gu Jing, so everything is not a problem."

"I also have some speculations about this. The mastermind behind the serial disappearances of girls should have a fairly powerful force."

"And Mr. Carles must also have some important information."

"Otherwise, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."

******

At this point in the conversation, even outsiders like Yingmei and Paimon began to think that Mr. Carles probably wasn't a murderer.

All eyes turned to Gu Jing, who had his arm around Arecino's waist and was listening to their conversation.

Meeting the gazes of the young girls and ladies, he smiled and nodded: "The facts are as you all think. Our next goal is to find the real culprit behind the serial disappearances of girls and give Mr. Kares justice."

"at the same time--"

"Unraveling the secret of why the people of Fontainebleau dissolve in water."

Putting aside his mischievous hands, this guy was actually quite serious when he said those words.
