Chapter 481 Theresa: Independent, but not completely independent (4000)
Fontaine, Villette's office.
Navelette, who was signing the document, put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at the person who came to report with a little surprise.
Funina will personally preside over the trial this afternoon?
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
"Ok, I see."
Seeing that Villette had no further questions, the man bowed respectfully and left the room.
blah blah blah...
The sound of fingers tapping on the table was heard, and Villette turned her head to look at the Opéracle Opera House outside Fontaine.
Although it is called the Opera House, it is actually the place where Fontaine judges sins.
As for why crimes should be tried in the opera house instead of building a separate court.
Probably because Fontaine is a 'just' country.
People who live through it see each trial as an interesting opera.
Navilette looked at the buildings in the distance, tapping the table with his fingertips. From the thoughtful expression on his face, it can be seen that he was thinking.
a long time.
He seemed to have come to a conclusion.
"Let's go there."
After finishing the remaining documents, Villette stood up and walked outside, ready to go to the opera house to watch the trial presided over by Funina.
After all, he had never seen such a thing even though he had lived in Fontaine Garden for hundreds of years.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a rare sight once in a century.
Of course, the main purpose was to observe, in order to prevent Funina from getting carried away and messing up the trial.
……
"Teresa looking for me?"
Lin Mao, dressed as Funina, stopped and raised his eyebrows as he looked at the interface in front of him that only he could see.
The latest news in the chat group was what Kiana had just said.
Asking if I was free, Theresa wanted to contact me at this moment.
Yes, of course he is free.
There is still some time before the trial at the opera house. According to the schedule, it should be time for Funina to have afternoon tea.
And Wendy also needs to taste a little bit of Fontaine's wine before going to the Oprykle Opera House to accept... I mean watch the next trial.
Well, watch, but watch up close.
While thinking, Lin Mao asked in the chat group.
Lin Mao: Theresa is looking for me? Are there any troublemakers in Saint Freya again?
Kiana: I feel like it’s more serious than the Lawbreaker…
Worse than the lawbreakers?
Lin Mao: Is the trouble over?
No, I feel that the End of the World is not that serious. After all, the Herrscher of the End of the World has already made trouble once last time.
Kiana: What are you talking about? There is no trouble at St. Freya Academy. It's just...
Kiana: The archbishop at the headquarters of the Mandate of Heaven suddenly held a meeting and announced that our St. Freya Academy had separated from the Mandate of Heaven and was no longer a branch of the underground Mandate of Heaven.
Kiana: To be honest, when my aunt learned the news, I saw from her expression that she was wondering if she was dreaming.
Bronya:......
Not only Theresa felt like she was dreaming, but Bronya, a social animal in the group, also felt like she was dreaming.
Bronya: Please elaborate.
Bronya, who usually just dives most of the time, already has a pathetic wall between her and girls of Kiana's age.
It was rare that he took the initiative to ask Kiana about the details of the matter.
If she guessed correctly, Kiana seemed to have just joined St. Freya Academy not long ago.
It can be regarded as the early stage of collapse.
When the spaceship named Moonlight Throne appeared in the sky above Canghai City, it marked the unrest of the collapse and the arrival of various dangers.
At this point in time, there is no reason for St. Freya Academy to deviate from its destiny.
Kiana: I don’t know much either, I just heard it from my aunt. Now the internet of Tianming is full of discussions about this matter…
It was said that the Far East Branch secretly joined forces with Anti-Entropy to try to overthrow the Mandate of Heaven... After the Archbishop found out, he was extremely disappointed and decided not to recognize the Far East Branch as an organization of the Mandate of Heaven.
Even a message popped up saying that Theresa was not the archbishop's biological granddaughter.
Bronya:......
Kiana: @Lin Mao, are you free? My period is urging me to go.
The cell phone she placed on the bed kept ringing with incoming messages, only one of which was from Theresa.
The rest are various chat groups she joined just to watch the show.
Houmu, study, exercise... group chats that used to be completely unrelated are now all discussing the same topic.
Of course, it was what she had just mentioned, the matter of St. Freya Academy breaking away from the destiny and becoming independent.
Lin Mao: Yes, yes, I won’t even have afternoon tea. I’ll be at your door right away.
Lin Mao: @Fu Ningna.
Furninna: Got it.
Seeing Lin Mao @ Funina and Funina's reply, Qiana scratched her head and asked, "When did you two become close?"
Just now, they were irreconcilable and she was about to avenge Funina, but she took advantage of the chaos and secretly kicked Lin Mao a few more times.
As a result, the two of them reconciled in just a few dozen minutes?
Lin Mao: Sigh~ You don’t know how much I paid to settle this matter…
To put it simply, I accepted a very difficult demon mission.
He had no idea how to accomplish it.
Apart from the power of the Water Dragon King, what power can allow the Fontaine people to completely transform into humans?
Try using Abundance?
This idea was suppressed by Lin Mao as soon as it appeared. He was afraid that using Fengzao would lead to unpredictable consequences.
It would be fine if it doesn't lose control. If it does, Teyvat will become a dead star.
Because by then, the arrow of the Imperial Bow will surely cross the night sky of Teyvat.
As for the result of not losing control throughout one's life... I can only say that human greed is beyond everyone's imagination.
The attraction of immortality to humans is beyond everyone's expectations.
He is like a demon, attracting endless numbers of people to worship him without doing anything.
Lin Mao shook his head and applied to go to Kiana's world together with Funina, who was curious about the scenery of the strange world.
……
"Theresa...say hello to that friend for me."
Theresa bit her fingers. Her favorite Homunculus comics were lying next to her, but she had no intention of reading them.
In my mind, I kept recalling what my grandfather said to me after everyone left.
Say hello to that friend…
"Who exactly is the friend in this sentence?"
Many figures who had come into contact with Saint Freya flashed through his mind one by one, and finally stopped on a young man with a handsome face and wearing retro clothes.
Lin Mao.
That mysterious existence that Kiana didn't know from where.
This is the most likely candidate. After all, he also had some contact with Otto...but it seemed to be very unpleasant.
"Theresa."
Jizi pushed the door open and Theresa instinctively picked up the Homunculus comics next to her and used quark-level decomposition technology.
Fortunately, he came to his senses in the end and put the Homunculus comics down again with a calm face.
"How's the consolation going?"
In response to the inquiry, Jizi replied: "The vast majority have returned to their normal state, and only a few are worried about the future of St. Freya Academy."
This includes herself.
Ji Zi looked worried. "St. Freya Academy doesn't have its own pillar industry and can't draw wealth from society. It will be difficult for it to survive with our current funds if it is separated from the destiny."
She then listed the monthly financial expenditure of St. Freya's Academy and the current financial reserves of St. Freya's Academy.
"With all the cuts we've made, we can probably hold out for three months at best."
All this is thanks to Theresa's little treasury.
Without Theresa's secret stash, the fact that Saint Freya could hold out for a month was due to the loyalty of its people.
You know, people need to eat.
Jizi's tone was filled with worry.
"If that doesn't work, you can try to contact the people at Anti-Entropy. They should be willing to lend us a hand at this time."
"Don't worry about this."
Theresa gave Jizi a reassuring look and said softly, "Although Grandpa... the Archbishop announced that St. Freya Academy will no longer belong to Heaven's Will, we will still maintain the current situation with St. Freya."
“It’s just that the relationship has changed from being subordinate to being an equal partner.”
"?"
Seeing Ji Zi's face full of question marks, Theresa took a deep breath and didn't explain.
In fact, she had no idea what her grandfather was planning, to kick her out of St. Freya's Academy and then bring her back in as a cooperative relationship.
What is this for?
Originally, she thought that her grandfather was using this method to allow St. Freya Academy to gain the power to make its own decisions.
But after hearing the last words he said before leaving, she thought that her grandfather's main purpose was not to give her the right to independently dispose of Mei Raiden and Wendy.
"Bang bang bang."
"Aunt, we're coming in!"
Kiana's voice sounded from outside the door, and then the door was opened from the outside, revealing two girls one after another.
Wait! Two girls?
Theresa's eyes narrowed, and she looked past the white-haired Kiana at the girl behind her.
The same white hair, but with a hint of blue in it, making people who see her hair think of the sea.
Wearing one black and one white glove and a gorgeous dress, the girl looks like an ancient noble.
No, not in appearance, maybe she is a noble.
Everything is so perfect, except... the slightly disappointing breasts.
"I guess you two are the Ms. Himeko and Ms. Theresa that Kiana mentioned."
The girl bowed slightly, politely but not humble, with a slightly exaggerated expression on her face, which made people feel her pride and confidence.
Well, not annoying.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Fucaros, and I am the god of Fontaine, the country of justice. I heard that Ms. Theresa was looking for Lin Mao, but he is currently busy and cannot get away, so I am here to represent her."
The girl named Fukaros chuckled and spoke.
"God?"
Ji Zi was startled, and the look she gave Lin Mao became strange, as she kept looking him up and down.
He turned his head and looked at Theresa, and found that she did not show the same doubt as himself about the other party's identity as a god.
"Ms. Himeko, since this is your first time to learn about 'God', I will forgive you for offending God this time. Please pay attention next time."
"Oh my dear God, could you please stop talking in that damned translator voice."
"Dear Kiana, if you want to be hung upside down at the highest point of Fontaine Court, overlooking the entire Fontaine, then continue to speak in such offensive words."
Lin Mao said with a wry smile.
Now I am the God of Water, please show me some respect!
Kiana shrank her neck as if she was afraid.
Theresa pondered and asked, "Do you know about Lin Mao?"
Lin Mao took off his hat, and a few strands of his hair seemed to be relieved and immediately bounced up, but were quickly sealed again when he put the hat on again.
Lin Mao, who had adjusted his hat, said softly, "His business is my business."
To Ji Zi, this sounded like Fukalos expressing his attitude towards Lin Mao, but to those who knew the situation.
It really shows who you are.
His name is Lin Mao.
After learning this, Theresa began to explain what happened.
"Is this the other world? It looks no different from Teyvat."
Along the way, apart from the fact that people were wearing different clothes from Teyvat, I couldn't feel that this was any other world at all.
It even feels worse than Fontaine.
While listening to Theresa's explanation, Lin Mao answered in his mind: "No difference? That's because you missed the most exciting moment."
Wendy awakens and anti-entropy invades.
In just a few days, Saint Freya suffered two misfortunes.
Unfortunately, all this happened before Funina joined the chat group.
"Of course, if you don't mind missing the trial this afternoon, I can take you to raid the headquarters of the Destiny. Then you will know the difference between the Other World and Teyvat."
Speaking of this, Lin Mao became slightly excited.
Although relying solely on Furninna's power, it is highly likely that she is no match for the entire Destiny.
But if you can't beat them, running away is no problem.
There is a chat group.
As long as Lin Mao wanted to run, even if the Star God himself took action, he might not be able to stop him.
"A surprise attack on the headquarters of the Destiny? This sounds dangerous! Forget it, I don't really want to see the difference between the other world and Teyvat."
“…That’s all.”
Theresa took a sip of water and looked warily at the girl who was sitting with her arms outstretched in an arrogant posture.
"Hmm..." Lin Mao groaned, "I think I understand what's going on."
Otto wanted to give Saint Freya to himself.
But in fact, he himself did not have much desire to possess Saint Freya.
So Otto announced that St. Freya was no longer destined to be a member of the Holy Spirit, to express that he would not order St. Freya Academy to do anything against their wishes in the future.
He saw Lin Mao's subtle attitude towards St. Freya Academy.
Then use this method to win him over to become an ally of destiny.
This is a statement.
To express destiny, no, to express Otto's friendly attitude towards him.
Destiny can be Otto, but Otto is not necessarily Destiny.
Lin Mao didn't say anything. He just looked at the clock on the table silently, tapping his fingers as if calculating something.
Ten times later, an extremely familiar voice came from outside the office.
"Principal, I'm here to find Teacher Jizi to submit the last mission report."
The door opened, and the heroic girl walked into the room calmly. She immediately noticed the girl who was as beautiful as the sea.
It wasn't because he was staring at her and smiling, but because the other person's temperament was different from everyone else in the room.
Lin Mao smiled slightly, guessing that the other party would be there, and turned to Theresa and said, "Say hello to Otto on my behalf, no, on our behalf."
He was so sincere that Lin Mao didn't mind expressing goodwill to him, on the premise that... he didn't continue to act like a troublemaker.
He stood up, stretched, and said something that sounded powerful but unclear.
“There are many ways to be resurrected.”
The figure became illusive and turned into water and sea foam, leaving no trace.
Lin Mao reappeared in Fontaine and walked towards the opera house without any hesitation.
