Chapter 14
An Unexpected Harvest

The two boarded a boat and arrived at Iley Island.

Following the stone road, they came to the Opikle Opera House.

"Mr. Su Mu, we're here."

"This is the Opikle Opera House."

"Mr. Navilette will hold his trials here."

"When not holding trials, it will also host some performance projects."

"The fountain in front of the Opikle Opera House is the Dew View Fountain."

Lilith walked ahead, introducing Su Mu to the two most famous buildings on Iley Island.

“Legend has it that if Fontaine people pray at Dew View Fountain, they will receive a response from the fountain, and their children will be born soon."

Su Mu listened to Lilith's introduction as he walked towards the fountain.

Then, a voice echoed in his mind, causing him to stop in his tracks.

"Vaché..."

The voice quickly disappeared.

Lilith, who was in front of him, also noticed his abnormality.

"Mr. Su Mu, what's wrong? Is the sound here too loud?"

Because Linney's magic performance was about to begin.

A large number of Fontaine people had already gathered in front of the Opikle Opera House.

They chatted freely beside Dew View Fountain, much noisier than when they were in Fontaine.

Su Mu shook his head and smiled faintly, "I'm fine, I just seemed to hear a strange sound just now."

"Ah...I know the reason!"

"Some people hear strange murmurs beside Dew View Fountain."

"But after the craftsmen inspected it, they found no abnormalities, so they just regarded it as tourists' auditory hallucinations."

"Mr. Su Mu, you should also have experienced auditory hallucinations just now. How do you feel? Do you want to take a rest on the bench first?"

Lilith's tone was full of concern.

This concern did not come solely from her professional etiquette.

After spending a short day with Su Mu, she had developed a fondness for him.

Therefore, Lilith cared deeply about Su Mu's health. If there were any abnormalities, she would find ways to handle them.

Feeling Lilith's concern in her tone.

Su Mu smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"That's good." Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, "Please tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"In fact, Dew View Fountain is the convergence point of all the water flows in Fontaine, and those with a strong perception of elemental force will also feel a little discomfort."

"Mr. Su Mu's auditory hallucinations may be because Mr. Su Mu's strength is too strong. To avoid this, we should not approach Dew View Fountain."

【Amber】:Huh? Is there such a thing?

【Amber】:So being too strong also has its disadvantages?

【Kaeya】:Hehehe... We are too weak, we can't imagine what kind of troubles a strong person would face.

【Yoimiya】:It seems that being weak is not necessarily a bad thing, at least most of the time, you don't have to face various problems.

【Dori】:If the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up. Isn't this a good thing?

【Dori】:We little people should just enjoy life, hehe.

Just when everyone thought Su Mu was about to leave.

They saw him shake his head and walk towards Dew View Fountain unhurriedly.

Seeing this, Lilith hurried to Su Mu's side, worried that something bad would happen if he got close to Dew View Fountain.

Su Mu gestured to Lilith.

Then, he put his other hand into the spring water of Dew View Fountain.

The surging elemental force surged out, pouring into the spring water, and the spring water glowed ice blue.

The Fontaine people standing nearby, seeing this, immediately showed curious expressions, wanting to see what the black-haired boy was going to do.

Su Mu took a deep breath.

He plunged his consciousness into the spring water.

After a while, a giant column of water was seen shooting up into the sky.

The crowd was startled by this scene, screaming and fleeing for fear of being drenched by the spring water.

Then, the towering column of water slowly subsided, as if losing its power, gradually returning to the fountain.

【Hu Tao】:Huh? What is he doing?

【Hu Tao】:Why did the spring water in Dew View Fountain suddenly erupt?

【Xingqiu】:I'm not sure about the specifics, but I can sense something is wrong.

【Xingqiu】:I can vaguely sense that the spring water seems to be angry? Could it be that Mr. Su Mu has angered the spring water?

【Xiangling】:Are you serious? You're talking as if the spring water has self-awareness. How can spring water be angered?

【Xiangling】:And when the spring water retracted, was it appeased by Mr. Su Mu? How is that possible? I think it's just a malfunction of Dew View Fountain's device!

【Nahida】:...

【Charlotte】:......

【Furuina】:......

【Paimon】:No way...

【Paimon】:That's too ridiculous, right?

【Xiangling】:See, Paimon thinks it's too ridiculous!

【Paimon】:No... no, that's not what I meant, Xiangling, you misunderstood.

【Xiangling】:Ah? You didn't mean that? What did you mean? How can there be other meanings?

【Paimon】:I... I don't know how to explain it, I hope it's not what I think, you'll know when you see it later.

"Mr. Su Mu!"

"Are you okay? What happened?"

"Do you need me to call for backup? Are you hurt?"

The sudden incident startled Lilith. She quickly ran to Su Mu's side.

Although she was also very uneasy in her heart, she still suppressed her panic. She could not let anything happen to Su Mu.

"Sorry to worry you."

Su Mu retracted his hand, a smile appearing on his lips.

"I just found something unexpected, don't worry."

"Oh, that's good." Lilith was relieved, and she pulled on Su Mu's sleeve, "Mr. Su Mu, the performance is about to start, let's go inside, it's not a wise choice to stay here."

Although Su Mu's status was high, he was in the wrong after all. Lilith had to take Su Mu inside to avoid the Fontaine people from doing something irrational.

So, the two walked into the Opikle Opera House.

As soon as they entered the opera house, they saw Linney and Linnet standing at the door.

Seeing the two, Lilith was a little excited. Obviously, she was a fan of the two magicians.

"Mr. Linney, Ms. Linnet."

"Hello, Ms. Lilith, long time no see."

Linney smiled and greeted her, then bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Su Mu, I didn't expect you to come to see the magic performance, please forgive my inadequate hospitality."

"I'll go backstage and get you a VIP ticket, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Seeing this, Su Mu did not stop Linney's action, but said, "Don't worry, get a ticket for Ms. Lilith as well."
