Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

It is unknown whether the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine will die if the Little Auspicious Grass King is released. After all, it has been heard that the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine has power comparable to that of a god - but he, the great sage of the Church Order, is definitely dead!

In the five hundred years of Xumi, it's certainly impossible that every generation of sages and great sages are ignorant fools. Not everyone is willing to imprison their own gods, but what can they do if they don't want to? The Ministry of Education is simply in a difficult situation!

You've done everything. Can you guarantee that if you release the little auspicious grass king, she won't settle accounts with you?

Who among us humans wouldn't be afraid?!

The saying "the elders do good things and the younger generations suffer" refers to the sages and great sages in the Ministry of Education.

They are certainly not innocent at all, but it must be said that most of the sages and great sages of the Order want to curse the generation that imprisoned the little Auspicious Grass King.

But what can I do? What can I do? What can I do?

The more people fear God, the more they fear God's wrath.

If you don't want to or dare not bear the wrath of God, then you can only go down the wrong path.

At least things are pretty stable now, aren't they? All those years went by like this, right? It doesn't seem to make any difference whether there are gods or not, does it? Isn't Mondstadt doing pretty well there?

——Then Xumi finally began to understand the miserable state of Mondstadt being bullied by Zhidong because it had no gods.

Of course, Mond is not that miserable, because Barbatos is not dead, he just doesn't show up. What's more, the Knights of Favonius are not pushovers, so Solstice is only suppressing Mond diplomatically within the bottom line, and still dare not do too much to Mond.

But Xumi is different.

Ye knew exactly what was going on with Xumi, so he squeezed and sucked her blood without any hesitation.

Of course, Ye is not a completely evil person. On the contrary, he is a gentle and kind person.

So he treated Xumi with tolerance.

"Forget it. I don't want to see the people of Xumi continue to suffer. So from now on, Xumi will only pay back 1 billion Mora every year, and you can always owe the rest."

It was under the kind-hearted and tolerant treatment of His Excellency the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine that Xumi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The economy gradually recovered and people's lives gradually improved. All this was due to the kindness of His Excellency the Supreme Bishop!

"But you can't take advantage of the Supreme Bishop's kindness and keep refusing to repay your debt, right?"

Versati said softly:

"The Supreme Bishop has completely lost patience with your behavior, so I came here to collect the debt."

"Three hundred years, nine billion per year, a total of two trillion seven hundred billion Mora."

"Return the money or the book, your choice."

Chapter 66 Nasida

"As I said before, as long as you agree to let us copy all the books in the Ordinance House, then Xumi's debt can be completely written off."

"And if you don't intend to give me the book, then you have to pay me back. The entire debt of three hundred years must be repaid, not a single mora less."

"And if you don't intend to repay the money, nor do you intend to use the book as collateral..."

"I'll give you one final day to consider this. If I still don't have a satisfactory answer by tomorrow, then... please step out of this Palace of Wisdom and look at the sky outside Xumi City."

After leaving these words, Vansetti walked out of the Palace of Wisdom and headed towards the embassy.

At this time, the Church of God... no, the entire Xumi City had fallen into panic.

"What...what is that!!!"

"Oh my god..."

"Is the world ending...?"

People who felt the sky suddenly darken raised their heads to look up at the sky, and then they all screamed in fear, their faces pale.

"Who is it?"

The current disciplinary officer, Senuo, was also looking up at the sky with a serious expression, and then he immediately began to investigate the matter with extreme vigilance.

The pitch-black flames turned into a curtain, wrapping the entire Xumi City in a semicircle, burning quietly.

It just burns, doesn't spread.

The pitch-black flames seemed to have no temperature, but they still emitted light, preventing Xumi City from falling completely into darkness.

However, no matter who it was, they could feel the threat of the flames.

That was the hellfire that was powerful enough to destroy the entire Xumi City.

Anyone who breaks his promise will be punished by eating fire.

Versetti means business.

Since the rock god who could make people eat rocks was "dead", and people no longer feared breaking the contract, she could only do it herself and let people see what the punishment of eating fire was.

There is no way around it. You can do whatever you want in Xumi.

If you do this in Inazuma, Versati will be hacked to death with a single blow; if you do this in Liyue, Versati will be stabbed to death with a single shot; if you do this in Mondstadt, Versati will be killed with a single hand... Only in Xumi, it's simply heaven!

Who made you have no God?

Trapped in a cocoon.

It's your own fault.

Deserve it.

——Thinking this, Vansetti met the god of Sumeru at night.

Or rather, I saw it in a dream.

Of course, this time Ye was not just dreaming of Nacida out of boredom. After all, in this dream, Ye was still in the image of Versetti. In other words, it was Versetti who dreamed of Nacida, and this was Nacida exercising her power.

Yes, that is to say, unlike the dreams she had had the night before, the girl in front of Vansetti was the real grass goddess Nashida.

When he thought of this, Vanzetti's face became serious.

"I'm so sorry, Little King of Auspicious Grass."

Versati lifted her skirt and saluted, smiling softly:

"I've long heard that the Grass God is the god of wisdom and knowledge. I wonder what advice the Little Auspicious Grass King has for calling me into my dream?"

"What you are doing now has caused too much panic in the city, and it is too dangerous."

Nashida's voice is childish, but inexplicably makes people feel very mature.

"Your goal of intimidating the House of Lords has been achieved, so could you please stop creating panic?"

"Little Auspicious Grass King has given an order. How dare a mortal like Vanseti disobey?"

After Vansetti stood up, she replied gently:

"But I have a question. Lord Cao Wang, in what capacity do you come to negotiate with me?"

"...Of course, as the god of Mount Xumi, and as one of the seven rulers of the mortal world."

"That's strange. The Little Auspicious Grass King is indeed recognized by all nations as the god of Xumi, but as far as I know, it seems that Xumi himself is the only one who doesn't think so."

Nashida knew she would be asked this question.

It was just like a replica of what happened three hundred years ago. For a moment, Nashida couldn't help but have an illusion that the person in front of her was not a black-haired girl, but a black-haired man.

It's the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine.

At the beginning, Nashida was speechless when the other party refuted her with such remarks as "You are not a god recognized by Xumi, and you are not qualified to negotiate with me on behalf of Xumi. If you want to talk, please let Xumi recognize your identity first - I have never heard of any of the seven rulers of the world recognized by the people being imprisoned in a cage." In the end, she was unable to stop the other party.

"Even if I am not recognized, I am still the god of Xumi."

Even though three hundred years have passed and the person she faces is different, Nashida can only give this answer.

However, this time, Vansetti did not utter the harsh words he had said three hundred years ago. Instead, he sighed softly, "Lord Cao Wang, you are too indulgent to the Order of the Lords."

After all, this time is different from three hundred years ago.

Five hundred years ago, Ye fell into this world and was in a coma for ten years because of his poor condition. During those ten years, Finina hid him in the room and took care of him. Therefore, after waking up, Ye had no purpose and didn't know what to do next, so he started working for Finina.

Anyway, he is used to working for others, and now it’s just a matter of changing his boss.

As for being in a position to do one's job, Ye is a serious and responsible person. Therefore, what he did to Xumi three hundred years ago was to squeeze out Xumi's value. As for Nashida... although he liked her when playing games, that's all, and it doesn't affect Ye's impartiality.

Naturally, for Ye at that time, the more introverted Nashida was, the better, as long as she didn't get in his way.

But it is different now.

Nashida is about to escape, so Vansetti’s trip to Xumi this time is not only to squeeze out the last value of Xumi, but also to ease the relationship with Nashida.

Therefore, Vansetti looked at Nashida with her eyes and said sincerely, "Lord Cao Wang, don't you think that the reason Xumi has fallen to the point of being bullied by the Supreme Bishop is because of your indulgence of the Ecclesiastical Court?"

In the original game plot, Nashida also said regretfully, "I was too indulgent to the House of Lords" - but what is the difference between this and hindsight?

At that time, Nashida was unable to stop the House of the Decrees at all.

Nashida is the goddess of wisdom. In fact, no one can deny her wisdom, but as a god, she is really completely unqualified.

He has plenty of wisdom, but his political intelligence is extremely lacking.

She was blinded by her own immaturity and thought that the academy was unwilling to release her. She therefore had to continue working hard, continuing to learn, continuing to become more outstanding, without ever considering another possibility...

It’s not that the Ministry of Education is unwilling to let her out, but they simply don’t dare to let her out!!

Chapter 67 I can’t stand this anger

"It's my fault..."

Hearing Vansetti's words, Nashida couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

However, she didn't dwell on it too much.

If you follow your enemy's steps during negotiations, you will fall into a trap.

Although Nashida has been imprisoned for the past five hundred years, she has never stopped learning knowledge and would not make such a low-level mistake.

"I am very familiar with your Supreme Bishop of Fontaine. I know that he has his own reasons for doing things, and I also know that he has his own bottom line."

Nashida said softly:

"You, Fontaine, want to copy all the books of the Decree. That's fine. Knowledge is meant to be learned. Even people from other countries have the same right to learn. I won't refuse anyone who seeks knowledge."

"And I also believe that your Supreme Bishop will make good use of Xumi's knowledge. This is probably the real purpose of his 350-year plan."

"But on the other hand, I also hope you know that your Supreme Bishop has his own bottom line when doing things."

"More than three hundred and fifty years ago, he destroyed Xumi's economy, yet he secretly provided assistance and ensured that no one died in Xumi as a result. I remember this very clearly."

"And don't you think that what you are doing now violates the bottom line of your Supreme Bishop?"

What Nashida said made Vanzetti want to applaud.

"Excellent! You've grasped my weakness so well. You truly are the God of Wisdom. However, there's one point I need to correct."

Versati smiled softly:

"Preventing Xumi from experiencing the tragedy of family destruction and death is not the bottom line of the Supreme Bishop, but the bottom line of our Fontaine Water Goddess, Lady Funina. As for the bottom line of the Supreme Bishop, it is not so high."

"You're quite good at negotiation."

Nashida smiled. Although she had a very childish face, she had a particularly mature and maternal temperament.

"Stop beating around the bush and tell me directly, what are your conditions?"

"My condition, or rather, the Supreme Bishop's condition, has always been one and only: the knowledge accumulated by the Apostolic Court over thousands of years. Beyond that, we have no other conditions. But I'm not sure if the Apostolic Court's great sage can make the right choice."

"I understand. Tomorrow, you can go and negotiate with the Great Sage. As I said, the right to learn knowledge is equal to everyone."

As she said this, Nashida's figure slowly disappeared, and Vansetti opened her eyes from her sleep.

It became.

Vanzetti thought to herself.

Although it was expected, this action still had risks.

The risk lies in the fact that the sages and great sages of this generation of the House of Lords are obviously mentally ill. Even Ye cannot predict what choices they will make in the face of such oppression.

Ye can accurately predict the behavior of a normal person, but the behavior of a mentally retarded person cannot be predicted because you can never know how their thinking works.

The sages and great sages of the House of Lords are certainly smart people, but their intelligence is only in academics. In other aspects, they are typical idiots.

Ye Lian couldn't tell how stupid they were. After all, judging from what they did in the original story, anyone with a bit of brains would not do such a thing.

——That’s why, from the very beginning, Ye was just predicting Nashida’s behavior.
