The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 358 Meteor falling from the sky
Fengdanting, Momang Palace.

The Supreme Inquisitor Navilette frowned slightly. He looked at the documents on the desk waiting to be processed, but he couldn't calm down and couldn't concentrate on his work as smoothly as usual.

Something happened in Fontaine, and the moisture in the air became somewhat uneasy and agitated, but no matter how he sensed it, he could not see clearly what had happened.

And there was Funina. It seemed that a few days ago, Funina's behavior was a little strange. He vaguely felt that Funina, who watched the opera and the trial at the Opicle Opera House these days, was like a different person.

It is less lively and agile, and more elegant and dignified.

Something must have happened, but what exactly happened?
Narvelette stood up, put his work aside for the time being, went to the window, and tried to use the harmonious and peaceful city scenery and the clear spring water in the mountains to relieve the strange tension and uneasiness in his heart.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

Xumi must have had a major change, which might be related to the pair of creepy eyes that suddenly appeared. Could it be that Funina's change was also due to these eyes?
Was she frightened?

Navillatte thought about it and quickly denied her guess. Although Funina was a bit exaggerated on weekdays, she never disappointed people when facing serious matters and major changes.

Even if she was frightened, she wouldn't be like this now. After all, Funina has always been good at hiding her inner feelings with a smile.

So what is the reason?
Navilette returned to the table and suddenly noticed a purchase report. He seemed stunned for a moment, picked up the report, and after carefully scanning it twice, he subconsciously exerted force with his fingers, causing the report paper to wrinkle.

As expected... Villette took a deep breath, his eyes turned cold, he put down the report, and went straight to the Opiclay Opera House.

……

"Ah, have you been discovered?"

Fucaros sighed, waved his hand, called the guards, and ordered them to convey the oracle: the Opikle Opera House is temporarily closed, and all trials and performances are postponed. As for when it will reopen, just wait for notification.

Many audiences left in confusion and bewilderment, and some wanted to ask "Funina" directly from the seat of the gods high up in the opera house. After all, in the impression of the people of Fontaine, Funina has always been a friendly and easy-going god, not as mysterious, noble, and unattainable as the gods of other countries.

She is more like a big star who is known to everyone and loved by the people of Fontainebleau.

You can see this god when you watch a performance at the opera house or when you are watching a trial. If you submit an application according to the procedures and wait in line for several months or years, you may even get the opportunity to meet the god.

This is something unimaginable in other countries.

But when the Fontaine people were about to ask questions after being glanced at by "Funina", they suddenly lost the courage to speak, and obeyed the instructions very obediently and left the opera house in an orderly manner.

Soon, the Opicle Opera House was empty, with only the god sitting alone, looking at the empty seats with his eyes gradually becoming distracted, as if he was in a daze in this rare leisure time.

"Da da……"

The sound of footsteps was heard, and the God came back to His senses. He looked at Villette who was walking into the opera house alone. He walked onto the stage of the opera house, looked up at Him, and there was a hint of anger in his voice:

"Who are you? Where is Funina?"

Fucaros did not answer, but retracted his gaze and looked up.

Villette discovered it, and so did Tianli. Her plan had completely failed. I hope Funina can be faster, even faster, and bring the monster back to Fontaine before Tianli completely activates the prophecy.

"Answer me." Villette knocked heavily on the stage floor with her civilized staff, and her eyes, which were not human, stared at the god above: "Who are you, and where is Fininna?"

"I'm curious."

Fukaros lowered his eyes and rested his chin on his hand: "How did you find out?"

"I'm asking you."

"You can choose not to answer, and I can choose not to answer either."

"..."

Villette took a deep breath. For some reason, he did not sense any hostility or malice from the person in front of him. The gaze was even like he was looking at an old friend he had known for many years.

Unconsciously, the anxiety and anger in Villette's heart melted away under that gaze, and she calmed down again: "Because of the cake." "Huh?" Fucaros was rarely stunned.

"It is the most famous, popular and recognized pastry shop in Fontaine. Only a few portions are sold every day. Unless there are special circumstances, Funina will buy and taste them every day."

That Villette paused and said, "But this cake is not on the purchase list of Mo Mang Palace these days."

“…Haha, so this is what was missed.”

Fukaros couldn't help laughing, his laughter was elegant and crisp: "Yes, I am indeed not Funina. But don't worry, Funina is safe now, and there is a very reliable person beside her. As for my identity..."

She changed her sitting position and looked at Villette with a smile: "You should have guessed it in your mind a long time ago, right?"

"Ah."

Villette did not deny it. The fingers holding the cane turned slightly white due to the force. "You and Finnina are very similar in both appearance and aura. Under your deliberate acting, others would not be able to notice the difference unless they are familiar with it. And compared to Finnina, you are more like a god. So..."

He exhaled slowly: "You are the water god Fukaros, right?"

"As expected of the Supreme Judge, Mr. Villette, you are indeed very smart."

Fukaros did not deny it and nodded slightly: "Yes, I am Fukaros, the God of Justice of Fontaine."

"What about Funina? What's your relationship with Funina?"

"Don't worry, I will tell you, Villette. But not now, be patient for a while."

"How long will it take?"

That Villette frowned.

"Who knows?"

Fukaros smiled softly, and at this moment he was more aware of Tianli's gaze. Those indifferent and ruthless golden eyes seemed to be staring at Fontaine. Perhaps in the next moment, a world-destroying disaster would fall from the sky.

Villette's expression also changed slightly. Although he didn't know what was going on, his heart suddenly beat as if something extremely terrible was about to happen.

"Perhaps when this opera house is destroyed by the power of heaven, or when the Fontaine prophecy comes..."

Fukaros was still smiling, but there was endless sadness and powerlessness in his eyes: "Maybe at that time, I will tell you the truth."

"boom--!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge roar suddenly sounded, and a stream of light with a tail of flame suddenly fell, shattering the dome of the opera house and splashing a large amount of smoke and dust.

Fucaros was a little confused for a moment. Didn’t the prophecy say that Fontaine would be destroyed by a flood?
How did it suddenly turn into a meteorite?
Her expression moved slightly and she heard a voice coming from the smoke and dust.

"Ahem...Mr. Monster, where are we?"

"We've already reached Fontaine. I located it based on the smell of food. It's a good opportunity for you to see if these two can be eaten."

"Understood, leave it to me, Mr. Monster!"

As Fucaros's eyes widened, the smoke and dust quickly dissipated, revealing two figures, the petite one of them looking particularly familiar.

It was Furninna who traveled all the way to Mount Sumeru and opened the door to welcome the thieves.

Then the corners of Fucaros' lips curled up a little bit, gradually rising, and finally he laughed out loud, feeling grateful for surviving the disaster, as well as feeling relaxed and happy.

She raised her head and seemed to be looking into the invisible golden eyes in the sky, as if mocking or provoking her.
