Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

Not to mention Ye, Sen'emon, and Ryuka, Fischl, as a ten-star card, will naturally become a point of doubt, reminding players of their previous doubts about Fischl and paving the way for future plots.

And of course, there is only one of each of these cards.

No, wait, that's not the point now.

The point is... Miss Barbara, weren't you a little too rude to the Rock King?

You think exchanging Zhongli and Venti for one is not enough, so you actually want to add another Princess. If your words get out, it might cause a diplomatic dispute!

As for the princess... no, you can't justify it on my side either!

"No, just change to Rock King."

Ye surrendered weakly.

"Thank you very much, Miss Barbara. I'm sure the Wind God will be happy to be in your hands."

After receiving the yes, Barbara couldn't help but jump for joy. Her previous wariness and fear of the man in front of her completely disappeared. She could only pray that this was definitely not a dream.

——Ye really hopes that this is just a dream now!

It's all in vain.

Not only did I not get the debt collected, I also lost a card.

Although he also got Zhongli's card, Ye couldn't sell this card to Liyue. After all, Ningguang and Keqing all knew Ye.

As a card manufacturer, they said they would put the [God] cards into card packs but ended up selling them individually... Ye really can't afford to lose face!

Forget it, I'll use this card as gifts in the future.

Sister Ganyu should like it, right?

If it doesn’t work, give it to Keqing.

"Speaking of which, I came to Mond for another reason. I wonder if Miss Barbara is interested in becoming an idol?"

"Becoming an idol?"

Barbara, who was originally immersed in the joy of getting Lord Barbatos, suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye.

"Sir... I'm sorry, I still don't know your name."

"Just call me Ye."

"Mr. Ye, what does it mean to be an idol?"

"I heard that Miss Barbara is an idol admired by everyone in Mondstadt. Actually, I've always wanted to form a Teyvat idol group. I wonder if Miss Barbara is interested?"

"Teyvat Idol Group? Um...Mr. Ye, do you know Miss Alice?"

Barbara had only heard of this term from Miss Alice, so she couldn't help but feel curious.

As for Barbara's question, Ye nodded calmly and said truthfully: "I know her, and we were even cellmates for a while."

"Inmate???"

"That's not very important, let's get back to the topic."

Ye really didn't want to talk about that dark history.

The great adventurer Alice is quite famous in the continent of Teyvat, but what she is most famous for is her witch explosion trait. She wants to explode wherever she goes. When she traveled in Teyvat, the top leaders of various countries kept a close eye on her and were even watching her personally, for fear that the terrain would have changed when she woke up.

Naturally, Ye is not the kind of man who likes to keep a close eye on a woman. Wouldn't it be a big loss if people misunderstood that he had some feelings for that woman?

So Ye's way of solving the problem was very direct. When Alice set foot on the land of Fontainebleau, Ye simply accused her of a crime and sent her to Mello Petersburg.

After all, you are not Klee. You are not a child anymore. If you are not as cute as Klee, don’t expect Ye to be tolerant of her.

——As a result, within three days, Ye went in to keep her company.

The reason why Funina sent Ye to Melo Petersburg was that she was worried that Alice would blow up Melo Petersburg, so she asked Ye to keep an eye on it until she was released from prison.

This is what is called being trapped in one's own web.

Although there is no need to work in Mellow Petersburg, it is a prison after all, and there is not even a bit of sunlight. Staying in such a place for a long time will really affect your mood.

So Ye quickly found a way to get Alice out of prison as soon as possible so that she could finish her tour of Fontainebleau and leave quickly.

In short, what happened between these inmates during that period was a dark history that Ye didn't want to mention again, and he should just forget about that kind of woman.

"How about it, Miss Barbara, are you interested in becoming an idol?"

"Well... I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I need to think about this matter carefully. After all, I don't know you very well."

As for whether she was interested or not, Barbara was of course interested, but as she said, a man she didn't know at all... It can't be said that she didn't know him at all, but that kind of understanding only made her more wary of the man in front of her.

"It's okay. We have plenty of time. Miss Barbara can take her time to think about it."

Ye nodded slightly, but did not insist.

After all, there are four idols. There is no need to rush Barbara. She is the easiest one. We just need to slowly let her down her guard.

"Well, I'll take my leave now. I'll come back and invite Miss Barbara."

Let's leave this matter at that. Now it's time to get down to business.

Chapter 158: Dust and Snow Shadow

"Speaking of which, let's go see Timaeus. I have something I'd like to ask him for. It would be even better if Sucrose and Albedo were there... but they seem busy and may not show up... Well, let's go over there first."

After going online, accompanied by Paimon's opening remarks, Dingdang slammed the table and shouted: "Here it comes! Finally, it's Albedo's story again!"

Along with Dingdang's words, the barrage in the live broadcast room was also lively.

"Albedo? Who is that?"

"What's a name I haven't heard of?"

"Mr. Albedo? Who is this NPC? Did I miss any plot?"

"I don't know? I completely forgot."

"I seem to have some impression of him. Who was he?"

"I forgot. Now that you guys asked me, I seem to have forgotten who Albedo is."

"Albedo is the five-star character from the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain storyline."

"There's an honest man upstairs. Let's get rid of him..."

"But seriously, why does Albedo like Dragonspine so much? This time, the presentation page is clearly about the Dragonspine storyline."

"Maybe it's because his brother is buried here. Dulin died tragically!"

"I don't want to know if Dulin is in a bad state right now. I just want to know how bad the collapse of the country can be."

"The country collapses? Damn, now there's a name I don't recognize."

"Whose country is collapsing? Did I miss the plot?"

"No, haven't you watched Dama's analysis video?"

"The collapse of a country means the scattered soldiers. The copywriting of the new holy relic set Huaguan in version 2.2 is specifically about the story of scattered soldiers."

"My old and loving Sanbao is so cute."

"I originally thought I'd only be able to whiten the scattered soldiers after getting Xumi, but it turns out they've already started whitening them bit by bit in 2.2. Boss Qi is really good."

"The point isn't to whitewash the situation, but to set the stage for the next plot, right?"

"It's a foreshadowing, but I don't understand it."

"The holy relic says that Zhan Sanbing wants to seize power in the mortal world."

"But if the Supreme Bishop is trying to make Sanbing the third Thunder God, then he should have stayed in Inazuma and waited for an opportunity."

"Why would they send scattered soldiers to Sumi? Could it be that they're sending General Raiden's Unit-01 to usurp the authority of the God of Grass? Does that make sense?"

"I'm wondering where you guys are going? This is Dingdang's livestream. If you want to discuss this, why don't you go to Dama's?"

"Regarding what you're talking about, I actually watched Da Ma's video. I remember the relic was called Huaguan Meng Xing Xue Ji, right? The one in the Inazuma Tianyun Pass dungeon."

Dingdang did not teleport directly to Mondstadt. Instead, she ran towards Mondstadt while chatting:

"The Pale Flame set's storyline introduces the Fatui Executor, and also includes the story of Sanbing. However, back then, we didn't know the story was about Sanbing. Now that we know Sanbing's character design, and by connecting the stories of the two relic sets together, we can truly gain a deeper understanding of Sanbing. Simply put, he's a beautiful young man with a Chuunibyou complex, even though he respects the elderly and loves the young."

As she said this, Dingdang coughed twice with a smile.

"Through the conversation between the Supreme Bishop and Sanbing, we now know that Sanbing and the Doctor have a grudge. Big Brother Ma previously analyzed that this grudge is likely related to the story recorded in the sacred relic, Huaguan Mengxingxinghuji... Unfortunately, there's still too little information, so the details are still unclear. However, it must be said that Sanbing definitely has a considerable knife on him."

While chatting, Dingdang finally ran into Mondstadt and entered the plot.

"As for the question about the Skirmishers, we'll probably have to wait until Xumi to fully reveal it. For now, let's focus on our teacher Albedo. Hmm? You're asking who Albedo is? That's a good question. Of course, Albedo is... Eh? Who was that?"

Dingdang asked this question with a laugh, and then the plot officially began.

"Hey, Dima... Eh? Isn't that Albedo? Why is he gone?"

Sucrose and Timaeus appeared on the screen, as well as a young man walking away.

Seeing this young man, Dingdang suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh oh oh, I remember, I finally remembered, isn't Mr. Albedo Sucrose's alchemy master?"

Dingdang suddenly realized it, and the comments in the live broadcast room were filled with responses of "Oh oh oh, I remember now".

As the character with the lowest revenue and popularity in Genshin Impact, Albedo has become so low that he has become a meme that everyone loves to hear.

In fact, in the current situation, Albedo's popularity is already quite high. In various secondary creative works, Albedo has already occupied half of the sky... However, if there is a popularity vote, I am afraid that few people will vote for Albedo.

However, miHoYo doesn't seem to care about Albedo's popularity. In this 2.4 version, Albedo was directly reprinted.

At the same time, his new storyline also arrived.

"Seriously, there's a lot of foreshadowing surrounding the character of Albedo, and he'll definitely be very important in the future plot."

While Dingdang was going through the mission story, he was also introducing Albedo to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Albedo is the son of chalk, which is the material of the original beings. In Leah's character story, it's mentioned that demons are demons because they have obtained fragments of the original beings, and these fragments also devour each other. Although this story was eventually called a joke by the Supreme Bishop, I think it's very likely true. If this story is true, then the importance of Albedo, the son of chalk, is self-evident... Although we still don't know what this original being is."

"Also, in Albedo's character story, it's mentioned that he's been adventuring in various secret realms with his master since his birth. It wasn't until over a hundred years ago, when his master, Rhinedot, was arrested in Fontaine for a serious crime, that he came to Mondstadt with a letter his master left him before imprisonment. Albedo's master is the "Golden" Rhinedot, who created the dragon Durin. This character is also quite problematic, and will definitely play a big role in the future plot... She shouldn't die in Melo Petersburg, will she?"

"Finally, after the Supreme Bishop officially entered the card pool in version 2.2, Albedo's voice line was also unlocked for the Supreme Bishop. I wonder if you noticed it."

Having said that, Dingdang directly clicked on the character, found Albedo, and then found the new voice line added in version 2.2 from the voice.

Listening to this message, Dingdang said expectantly:

"I really want to know more about the Supreme Bishop from Albedo."

"Regarding the Supreme Bishop..."

...Have you met that man? I wonder what you think of him? All I can say is fear.

Are you asking why?

Because... I have never seen anyone in this world who can make my master look like that.

Someone who can make the lawless witch look as if she has seen the sky... Isn't it natural for me to feel fear towards such a person?

Chapter 159: Will the Water God become the biggest villain?

"Actually, speaking of the Supreme Bishop, I have a point that I haven't expressed before because I still don't quite understand it."

Da Ma Ge also live-streamed the story of version 2.4, and watched it all the way through. He watched the animated short film in which Albedo and the fake Albedo walked towards each other, one above and one below. The Supreme Bishop of Fontainebleau, who unexpectedly appeared in the animated short film, was also standing on a hilltop and watching this scene quietly. It was after watching this animated short film that Da Ma Ge said the above sentence.

The animated short film did not show who won or lost between Albedo and the fake Albedo, nor did it show why the Supreme Bishop came here to watch this scene. Instead, it ended here, leaving enough suspense.

However, the Supreme Bishop who flashed by in this animation scene completely aroused Da Ma Ge's sexual desire.

"The Supreme Archbishop is arguably the most mysterious character in Genshin Impact right now. He's even more mysterious than the "Sustainer of Heaven's Law" from the beginning of the story. The extent of his power at his peak is completely unknown."

"And opposite to the mystery of the Supreme Bishop is the mystery of Funina, the Fontaine water goddess."

"In the PV for 'Report to Lady Furnina', Furnina has always been portrayed as a wise yet somewhat silly person."

"In all the PVs, Funina was fooled by the Supreme Bishop. The only time she wasn't fooled was when she suddenly cried... I wouldn't quite say crying, she just burst into tears, and Funina herself seemed to be completely unaware of it."

"At the time, Finina said she was overly full of water element... I don't think any player would believe that, right?"

"President Qi, there's absolutely no need to suddenly give Funina this setting. If Funina really had this setting, it would have been shown from the very beginning. This would have become a cute point and enriched her character. Revealing it so suddenly like this is completely meaningless and will only make people feel confused."

"Especially when you think about that episode where Funina wasn't fooled by the Supreme Bishop... That might seem a bit unkind to Fufu, but that's the truth. Anyway, when you think about that episode where Funina wasn't fooled by the Supreme Bishop, that episode just feels even more off."

"It's a long-standing tradition for Qi to hide key information in PVs. So, this PV is probably laying a very important foreshadowing for the Water God. But we don't know what this foreshadowing is, we just feel that something is definitely wrong... And now, this feeling of wrongness is getting even stronger."
