Su Yuan abruptly opened his eyes—it was that familiar feeling again...
A sharp pain once again pierced his left palm.
He had died once more...
Su Yuan raised his left hand and looked at his palm, where he saw the following words:
[Yes, unfortunately, you have died once again...]
[The person randomly chosen by Focalors for execution was Navia...]
[Please arrive at Poisson Village before 2 PM!]
"Su Yuan? Su Yuan? What are you looking at?" Chevreuse spoke beside him.
"There's nothing on your hand..."
Su Yuan rembered—just monts ago, he and Chevreuse had walked out of the Debord Grand Hotel...
"Chevreuse, what ti is it now?" Su Yuan asked anxiously.
"It's just past noon. Why?" Chevreuse replied.
"There's still so ti before nightfall. You can continue exploring Fontaine, while I'll resu my patrol."
"Wait, Chevreuse! How long would it take to get from here to Poisson Village?"
"Poisson Village? Why do you want to go to such a remote place?" Chevreuse asked, puzzled.
"That place isn't on the surface, so it doesn't get much sunlight. The infrastructure is outdated, and the environnt is dark and damp—kind of like the Fleuve Cendre beneath Fontaine Court..."
"Typically, tourists visiting Fontaine wouldn't want to go there."
"No, Chevreuse, listen to ! I just encountered the mysterious person behind the Oratrice canique d'Analyse Cardinale. That person pardoned my execution and instead chose to randomly execute soone else imdiately..."
"And the person she chose was none other than the young lady and president of Spina di Rosula—Navia!" Su Yuan said anxiously.
"She's in Poisson Village right now—we must go protect her imdiately!"
Seeing the seriousness in Su Yuan's expression, Chevreuse didn't ask further and simply nodded. "Alright, Su Yuan, I understand..."
"It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to get to Poisson Village from here."
Thirty to forty minutes? There was still more than an hour—almost two—before 2 PM.
That should be enough ti...
Su Yuan let out a small sigh of relief and said, "Then let's head to the Opera Epiclese first and bring Neuvillette and Furina with us before we go to Poisson Village together."
"Hm? At this ti of day, Lord Neuvillette and Lady Furina should be at Palais rmonia, right?" Chevreuse said, puzzled.
"Huh? You're right. Neuvillette clearly told that if I needed to find him during the day, I should go to Palais rmonia. So why was my first instinct to go to the Opera Epiclese instead?" Su Yuan muttered, confused.
This wasn't the first ti sothing like this had happened—he always seed to make these strange decisions and have unusual thoughts...
"Never mind, let's just go to the Opera Epiclese!" This ti, Su Yuan chose to trust his instincts.
When Su Yuan and Chevreuse arrived at the Opera Epiclese, they happened to see Neuvillette and Furina standing right at the entrance.
Furina looked at them with a hint of confusion and asked, "Su Yuan? Chevreuse? What are you two doing here as well?"
"Neuvillette was just about to send soone to find you!" Furina said.
"Because the Oratrice canique d'Analyse Cardinale just generated new content on its own again..."
"No need to check it—we need to head to Poisson Village imdiately!" Su Yuan interrupted, explaining hurriedly.
"I just encountered the mysterious figure behind the Oratrice. For so reason, That person granted a pardon from my death sentence..."
"But instead, she randomly chose Spina di Rosula's Navia as the one to be executed!"
"We must get to Poisson Village now and protect Navia!"
"I'll explain the details on the way!"
...........
To save ti, under Neuvillette's arrangents, the group boarded an airship bound for Poisson Village.
With this, what would have been a 30-40 minute journey was shortened to just over ten minutes.
"Su Yuan, I have to say, your intelligence network is truly incredible..." Chevreuse remarked.
"Previously, we were troubled because we had no way of predicting who would be chosen for execution."
Su Yuan chuckled internally—of course, his intel was strong.
He had paid for it with his life.
"But even if we know who's been chosen, I'm still worried," Furina said anxiously.
"Against the eerie forces at play, do we really stand a chance?"
"This isn't about whether we have a chance—it's about the fact that we must stand up and fight!" Su Yuan said firmly.
"Originally, I was supposed to be the one executed, but now an innocent person has been dragged into it. How can we just stand by and do nothing?"
"Besides, we need to confront the one controlled by the eerie force. Only by interacting with them can we learn the conditions and causes of their corruption—and find a way to undo it."
Knowing that protecting Navia would inevitably lead to a confrontation with 'Focalors,' Su Yuan decided to prepare everyone in advance.
"If we encounter the one behind the Oratrice canique d'Analyse Cardinale, no matter what she looks like—don't be surprised."
"Su Yuan, haven't you already seen her...? Wouldn't it be easier if you just told us what she looks like?" Furina asked.
"Well..." Su Yuan hesitated. Even now, he was unsure whether he should reveal the entire truth to everyone.
He kept worrying—if he disclosed everything, would all of Teyvat spiral into an irreversible future?
"Alright, Furina, if Su Yuan still has his concerns, don't push him," Neuvillette interjected. "Either way, we'll find out for ourselves soon enough."
...........
Ti: 13:05 PM
Location: Poisson Village
Several workers paused their tasks and looked up toward the sky.
"Look over there! Isn't that an airship about to land in Poisson Village?" soone pointed and exclaid.
"It does seem like it! It's getting closer!"
"Quick, go inform Boss Navia! I've heard that people who travel by airship are always rich and important figures!"
"Yeah, yeah! We're not equipped to handle such distinguished guests. If we ss up, we're done for—go get Boss Navia right away!"
...........
Under the blazing sun, Navia wore sunglasses and held a floral-patterned parasol, walking alongside lus, Silver, and Chiori.
"Navia, seriously, we were having a nice conversation—why did we have to co out just to greet them?" Chiori remarked indifferently.
"To be honest, I find this kind of formal courtesy annoying. If they have sothing to say, they can just co to us. Why must we go out of our way to accommodate them?"
"Chiori, Spina di Rosula and Poisson Village aren't like your Chiori House," Navia responded with a smile, taking off her sunglasses and folding up her parasol.
"Your Chiori House leads Fontaine's fashion industry. It's a prestigious brand that people admire and look up to, so naturally, you don't need to worry too much about catering to others. In the fashion world, your reputation and authority are absolute..."
"But Poisson Village is still underdeveloped—it needs growth. Spina di Rosula is also far from what it used to be. I'm not just doing this for myself but for everyone's sake..."
"I'm no longer just a willful young lady. Now, I am the leader of Spina di Rosula."
