Chapter 47 The Seal and the Accident
Chapter 47 The Seal and the Accident
after many years,
The famous five-star missing person in Fontainebleau, Leosley, once commented on this.
I used to think that it was already unusual enough that a character hadn't been replicated in his country, but I didn't realize I was wrong until I met that man.
When the Duke of Mero Petersburg came to the infirmary looking for Navilette's guest, he finally understood the complex look in Navilette's eyes when she took her leave.
……
"Infirmary?"
Confused, Leosley crossed his arms and asked Navelette, who had just finished dealing with the loosened seal and hurriedly returned to the surface to work, a question he found perplexing.
"Yes."
Navelette nodded calmly. "If we want to find Mr. Mu Feng's whereabouts, I think the infirmary is a suitable option."
"The seal still needs to be reinforced, and Mr. Mu Feng has the power to do so."
“I understand. Farewell, Your Honor.”
"Goodbye."
Filled with doubt, Leosley stepped onto the elevator leading to the medical clinic in Mello Petersburg.
Could it be that this mysterious Mr. Mu Feng has a private relationship with the head nurse?
Leiosley secretly speculated, and a strong interest in the boy he had only met once began to grow in his heart.
interesting.
He wields power that even the Supreme Judge cannot ignore, and he is able to establish a connection with the rarely seen head nurse that he has never heard of before.
She's someone worth getting to know.
As the elevator slowly came to a stop, Leosley strode out of the elevator and hurried toward the infirmary.
However, when the Duke of Mello Petersburg stood before the wide-open doors of the infirmary, he fell into a long silence.
Could it be that I've been staying up late working on official business and drinking too much strong tea, causing me to hallucinate?
What did he see?
The head nurse, Siegwen, who is always emotionally stable and always has a gentle smile on her face, was actually snuggling in a boy's arms and acting affectionately.
Stop pretending, it really is you, Hanabi!
Even though he had never seen the famous Masked Fool, the young Duke was still lost in thought, questioning the meaning of life. Perhaps today was the best day to slack off in the office?
Aren't you going to do anything about this, Violet? Your house got robbed!
Silence, silence is the silence of Mero Petersburg tonight.
All I can say is that the Duke's silence was deafening. What was that saying again?
Mount Sumeru is empty and desolate; the grass god dwells among mortals.
Wear and tear, which has worsened the condition.
Should they quickly leave, feigning ignorance, to avoid being silenced without explanation?
Or just rush in immediately and give that ungrateful blond guy a good punch.
That is a problem.
Just as Leosley was seriously considering countermeasures, the two in the infirmary finally noticed the warden standing dumbfounded at the door.
"Duke, you've arrived!"
"Oh dear, are you alright?"
Hisewen jumped out of Mu Feng's arms, feeling a little embarrassed, and ran a few steps, looking Leosley up and down with concern.
"It's alright, head nurse."
"In fact, my purpose is to find this Mr. Mu Feng."
Leosley crossed his arms, staring at Mu Feng standing to the side with a complicated look and a meaningful expression on his face.
"The Supreme Judge has already left,"
"I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Mr. Mu Feng with the task of reinforcing the seal."
“It would be my pleasure, Your Grace.”
Sensing Leosley's hostility, Mu Feng gave an awkward but polite smile, said goodbye to the reluctant Siegwen, and then left the infirmary with Leosley.
……
An eerie silence fell between the two as they traveled together.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Leosley suddenly stopped in front of a heavy iron door and asked with a serious expression.
I am Qin Shi Huang. Invest 50 points in me to help revive you. If you succeed, I will appoint you as a Grand General.
Mu Feng thought to himself, but still answered truthfully: "The Duke should know very well who the manager of Maple Dew Cafe is, Mu Feng."
"So, what is the purpose of getting close to the head nurse?"
Leosley crossed his arms, his face cold and stern, two sharp, cold glints shooting from his gray-purple eyes.
Mu Feng...
Why do I feel this old father vibe?
He was genuinely afraid that the next second Leosley would pull out a bag of Mora and smash it in his face, then spout some cliché lines like "This is a million Mora to leave the head nurse."
"Mr. Duke,"
"Is it possible that I have known Siegwen for four hundred years?"
Leosley remained expressionless, arms crossed, with an air of "I'll see you keep making this up."
Mu Feng took a deep breath and brought out the same excuse he had used to fool Villette, this time with the personal endorsement of the Supreme Judge. Only then was he able to begin to persuade the Duke of Mero Petersburg.
"So, the recent uproar in Fontaine is related to Mr. Mu Feng?"
Leios rested his chin on his hand and muttered to himself thoughtfully.
"maybe."
Mu Feng once again responded with a slightly helpless, bitter smile.
It can only be said that the young reporter's news reporting ability was truly remarkable, and coupled with the gimmick of being brought back from the dead, it quickly became known to everyone in Fontaine.
Thinking about it this way, some people might be getting restless, right?
"Excuse me, Mr. Mu Feng."
Leosley bowed slightly, expressing his apology in a generous manner.
"It doesn't matter."
Mu Feng waved wearily, then followed Leosley into the secret chamber beneath the Duke's office, where the primordial waters of the Fetal Sea were sealed.
In the center of the sealed room, a heavy metal manhole cover was embedded in layers of pipes, with wisps of white steam rising from it from time to time, as if boiling water was flowing beneath the cover.
Mu Feng's expression was solemn as he somewhat awkwardly guided the water elemental power within his body, subtly establishing a connection with the restless primordial waters of the womb.
Under the suppression of the water element's authority, the surging waters of the primordial womb gradually showed signs of calming down.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Woo..."
A distant whale cry echoed from the chaotic spacetime, seemingly both near and far, yet possessing an extremely strong penetrating power.
The sound waves from beyond the starry sea caused the primordial sea water, which had just begun to settle, to surge violently, almost breaking through the suppression of the water elemental authority.
A star-devouring whale?!
How did it wake up at this time?
Mu Feng suppressed his shock and gritted his teeth as he channeled his water elemental power with all his might, trying his best to maintain the balance of the seal.
Strangely, after the first cry of the whale, the Star-Devouring Whale remained silent for a long time, as if the movement just now was merely an unintentional flipping over.
Without the disturbance of the whale's cry, the waters of the primordial womb slowly returned to normal, completely suppressed under the seal.
Mu Feng let out a long sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat streaming down his forehead, but his worries and anxieties continued to grow.
The prophecy cannot be delayed any longer.
With a heavy expression, Mu Feng turned around and left the secret chamber that sealed the primordial fetal sea without saying a word.
This grand trial may be about to begin.
