Seeker of Teyvat

On the high platform, no, on the stage, Funina is still continuing her performance: "I have heard that you two have caused chaos in several countries, but I still welcome you, no, I have to come to welcome you in person. you!"

"Fear is the behavior of small people. As a god, I will not take such meaningless caution as my creed. You can rest assured that your piety is clear to me."

"The purpose of your visit is to better appreciate my power and authority. Of course, of course. It's very wise. Wise people always gather under the right banner."

After the chant-like performance ended, Funina stretched out her hands and hugged Ying and Paimon: "Welcome to the kingdom of water. I, Fukalos, will recognize the value and significance of your journey. Now, you can cheer as much as you like. .”

The crowd burst into applause and cheers again.

Ying was a little shocked: "Did you actually meet the gods so smoothly?"

The invisible Wang Daoyi chuckled: "Haha, you'll get used to it. Fu Nina is very approachable. Of course, she's a little weird too~"

Ying's expression changed, as if she wanted to know more, but Wang Daoyi's voice no longer appeared in her ears.

Paimeng didn't know Wang Daoyi was there, and thought Ying was talking to her: "Yeah, I don't think I reacted a bit. We just stepped on the land of Fontaine not long ago..."

Paimon looked conflicted. "And the Water God's [opening remarks] were a bit... uh... I don't know whether to say [excessive force] or what..."

As he spoke, Paimon turned and looked at the figure on the platform: "Um, um... Lord Water God, how did you know we were coming?"

Ying also showed an appropriately curious look,

But in fact, Ying already knew the answer. Daoyi just said that the Water God has many ears and eyes.

Someone must have seen them and recognized them, so the Water God would know.

However, Ying was a little curious as to why the Water God paid attention to them.

"Oh, I understand that you foreigners will inevitably have some vulgar perceptions. But don't forget, gods are also divided into "mediocre" and "excellent". It is normal for you to be surprised by my talent. "

Funina put her hands on her hips, looking amazing,

"Why not reflect on this? Do you really have the moral character and etiquette to communicate with the gods? For me, it only takes a few clicks to obtain your information. It couldn't be easier."

"Wow, she's so arrogant..." Paimon covered his mouth and said quietly.

Ying also nodded: "Always emphasizing his status as a god..."

In Ying's understanding, the gods she knew rarely emphasized their status as gods.

Most of the time, it is what others have done that reflects their status.

"Although Ms. Funina used too much force, I agree with part of her point of view. In terms of hiring people, she did a pretty good job. At least she obtained your whereabouts information in advance."

Wang Daoyi's voice sounded in Ying's ears again.

However, Ying was used to it and didn't react in any particular way. She just looked at Fu Nina, waiting for Fu Nina's next words.

"...Huh? You look at me like that...Isn't the welcome ceremony enough here? Should I say something?" Furninna was a little doubtful about her performance just now.

And below, Paimon was also a little confused: "...Uh, is she waiting for us to start a conversation...?"

Ying was also confused. Did this water god just come over and give a messy welcome speech and then disappear?

I was about to ask Wang Daoyi, who was invisible next to him,

I heard Wang Daoyi say something unhappy: "The main show hasn't even started yet, and you're here. Really, Ying, someone is here. I'll leave first. Bye."

Ying only saw the light around him flicker slightly, as if someone had left.

She fiddled around with her little hands, but didn't touch anything. She confirmed that Wang Daoyi had left.

However, when she returned to the scene, she found that the crowd around her was becoming more and more lively.

Everyone was talking about the showdown between Lady Funina and the blond traveler.

Ying was even more confused. Could it be that...she agreed to fight with the Water God?

Before she could understand anything more, Funina continued to speak on the high platform.

"Ah ha ha ha! That's right, be patient. People who believe in me always like to shout together with the spectators. It's so loud, and I will tolerate these disturbances."

"Just think of it as a reward. As you can imagine, I am indeed determined to have an epic showdown with this foreign traveler!"

Surrounded by crowds,

Paimon was even more confused than Ying: "This... is the fight going to start all of a sudden? This is progressing too fast..."

Although I have fought with gods before, starting a fight as soon as they meet is a bit too fast.

Ying's expression tightened, and with a flick of his right hand, a sword appeared in his hand: "...Then let's give it a try."

He has experience fighting against gods.

Right in front of Ying, Clolind folded her hands inadvertently,

The guards surrounded Ying one after another.

And where no one could see it, Funina, who was standing on the elevated platform, took a step back.

……

"Pfft, hahahahahaha, isn't it? Ms. Funina is taking this step back. Are you serious?"

In the corner of Hailu Port, Wang Daoyi burst into laughter.

Beside him, Navilette, who had a serious face, looked at him warily.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's that look in your eyes? I didn't draw my sword against Funina. If you want to be on guard, you should be on guard against Ying." Wang Dao put away his smile and looked at Villette with some displeasure.

"Besides, this is the kingdom of the water god. The water god didn't even notice that I was coming. How could you sense it? That's outrageous. Then Villette, you are the water god!"

Villette's expression was still serious, and there was no trace of relaxation: "The tide told me that there was a different light in Fontaine, and I knew it was you who came. In addition, with Clolinde here, the traveler temporarily It can’t hurt Ms. Funina, but you… are more dangerous.”

"..." Wang Daoyi was a little speechless, "I have been to many countries. They treat me like a guest, even if I don't say it. But they are always polite. You are the only one who is wary of me like this."

After a pause, Wang Daoyi continued: "Also, although Ying doesn't attack with all her strength, you underestimate Ying's strength. If she wants, these guards can't stop her."

"I know the strength of this traveler, but I believe she will not harm Fu Nina." Navilette glanced at Wang Daoyi, "But you are different. You have threatened Fu Nina, and I can't completely trust you. .”

"Intimidation? You call that exchange intimidation?" Wang Daoyi was a little ridiculous, "How much do you look down on the Water God? Moreover, who knew that the Water God could be so... weak!"

When Wang Daoyi first tested Funina, he really didn't expect that the Water God was as weak as an ordinary person.

He thought it was just the water god who didn't wear a crown like Wendy.

Unexpectedly, Funina's condition was much more serious than Wendy's.

Villette's expression remained unchanged: "No matter what, I can't let you get close to Funina at will."

Wang Daoyi was a little helpless and shrugged: "It's up to you then. I'm not here for Funina anyway. If the people below weren't my friends, I wouldn't stay here."

Wouldn't it be more interesting for him to go directly to Fontaine Gardens and enjoy the 'warm' hospitality of the Fatui rather than confront Villette here?

If Ying and Paimon hadn't been here, Wang Dao would have left long ago.

"That traveler... I've heard their stories." That Villette relaxed a little, but still stared at Wang Daoyi.

"Haha, if you're worried, I'll just keep watching. I'm actually very interested in the Fontaine trial. During the first three days of every month, no one is allowed to fly flying objects in the Fontaine area. Is this law true?"

Wang Daoyi first looked at the "duel" between Funina and Ying, and then asked Villette.

"That's true. There are many laws in Fontaine, and Ms. Funina usually keeps them in mind. She won't make mistakes in this regard."

Speaking of the law, Villette's expression relaxed a little.

Facing legal issues was much easier for Villette than confronting Wang Daoyi.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what an outrageous law." Wang Dao curled his lips.

Villette didn't care about Wang Daoyi's complaints, and simply explained: "Behind any seemingly outrageous law, there are usually some unacceptable crimes or... mistakes. The law must have been created to prevent some mistakes or crimes from happening."

As a country of justice, every law in Fontaine is reasonable.

Although this principle is not the "truth" that everyone understands, it is the principle of "reason".

"Tsk, cumbersome laws usually lead to a bloated society. Using laws to restrict everything is against human nature." Wang Daoyi said disdainfully.

Wang Daoyi could not accept the idea that when a problem arises, a law would be made to address it.

The simplest understanding is,

If a person kills someone, a law of life for life will be made.

Doesn’t it look correct?

Of course it is correct, because it is in line with everyone's [equal right to life].

But can this law solve all murder cases?

Obviously not, because the law is only a last resort. The real solution to crime can only appear before the crime occurs.

Better education, better communication, better social environment...

These things that cannot be materialized around everyone in normal times are the root of everything.

The law cannot solve crime, it can only solve the criminals after the crime has been committed.

…Sometimes even the criminals can’t be solved.

Navrette was silent for a moment: "I am only responsible for maintaining the fairness of the law. As for whether the law violates human nature, this is not for me to decide."

Human nature is the word that Villette thinks about the most in his heart.

It can be said that Wang Daoyi's words touched the bottom of his heart.

It’s a pity that Villette is not willing to face his own heart here.

"Ha, forget it. How about making a bet on who will win between Funina and Ying?" Wang Daoyi skipped the previous topic and looked at the 'duel' below.

That Villette was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I never gamble."

Wang Daoyi's breath stagnated. He couldn't stand this Villette anymore.

Is this gambling? At most, it is a... well, it is gambling.

But you don't even want to play a bet without any stakes? You are such a boring guy.

No longer paying attention to Villette, Wang Daoyi looked at the 'duel' and said to himself: "I guess Ying will definitely win."

“…” That Villette didn’t speak.

Wang Daoyi didn't care and continued to watch the duel between Funina and Ying.

Sure enough, when Funina wanted to punish Ying and Paimeng with the law that [No one is allowed to fly flying objects in the Fontaine city area during the first three days of each month],

Ying's new friend took action.

With the mysterious magic trick, a hidden elemental thread appeared between Paimon and Ying.

Then, Paimon was defined as...something like a balloon.

The balloon was held by someone, so it was not released.

Ying and Paimon naturally do not conform to the behavior of [releasing flying objects].

The corner of Villette's mouth twitched slightly: "Excellent rebuttal."

Wang Daoyi wanted to complain, but he didn't know what to say: "Can this be considered a rebuttal?"

"Of course, Ms. Funina made the accusation, and Magician Linni gave the answer. Funina's accusation is invalid, which is of course a rebuttal."

That Villette said calmly.

Obviously, Villette had seen rebuttals like this countless times, but the cases for each rebuttal were different.

Before Wang Daoyi and Navilette could continue their conversation,

On the platform, Funina began her performance again.

"In that case, the trial ends here. The God of Justice cannot wrongly accuse an innocent person."

"But... as long as there is a reason, I can judge not only foreign travelers... but even foreign gods, hehe..."

"Well, Mr. Linney, Ms. Linnet, I am very much looking forward to your next performance at the opera house. That's all for today, goodbye everyone."

The water goddess Funina gave a perfect curtain call and left, and the guards also evacuated with Funina.

"She...she just left like that. She's really unpredictable. We didn't seem to have time to ask her anything, but let's talk about it later. The atmosphere just now was a bit..."

Paimeng was still in a daze.

Ying looked at Lini and said, "Thank you for helping us out. Did you expect what happened just now?"

Linnie smiled and waved his hand: "Nothing, I just happened to remember that there is such a legal provision, so I made some preparations for you. I didn't expect that it would be useful."

Then he said with a smile in his eyes: "Now you have seen what kind of god Lady Funina is, right?"
