The conversation continued.
After a round of awkward small talk.
Furiana, citing the ban on flying objects in the city during the first three days of each month, proposed to put Lumine and Paimon on trial.
With Linny's secret help, the two were naturally spared punishment.
“Pfft... hahahaha...”
“As expected of the Great Magician Linny, what a thrilling twist.”
“In that case, the trial is over, the God of Justice cannot wrong the innocent.”
“But given the right circumstances, even if it's a traveler from a foreign land...”
“Even a god from a foreign country, I can put them on trial, hehehe...”
Furiana crossed her arms, her eyes crescent-shaped in a smile, radiating confidence.
Then, she tilted her head high, like a proud kitten, and left the Port of Seafoam under the escort of Fontaine soldiers.
【Kaeya】：So arrogant!
【Amber】：She's very arrogant!
【Hu Tao】：She's indeed quite arrogant!
【Collei】：So the Fontaine Water God is that powerful?
【Yae Miko】：Hehe... Putting a foreign god on trial? Really?
【Yae Miko】：If that’s true, could you ask the Water God to put my deity on trial?
【Raiden Shogun】：...
【Furiana】：Ahhhhhhh!
【Furiana】：Was I really that naive back then?
【Furiana】：Stop it! I know I was wrong! Stop laughing at me!
Another moment of public humiliation.
Furiana wished she could find a hole to hide in.
She knew she shouldn't have said those things in front of everyone.
Seeing this, everyone stopped teasing Furiana and chose to continue watching the story.
At Linny's invitation, Lumine and Paimon agreed to go to the opera house to watch his performance and help out with a small favor.
Linny pulled out an object called a "Magic Pocket" from behind and asked them to distribute it to the people, explaining the reason behind it.
“Every Fontaine person is born with sin.”
“No matter how many trials the righteous nation of Fontaine conducts, it cannot be resolved.”
“Until one day, the sea level of Fontaine will rise, and those burdened with sin will gradually be submerged by the seawater.”
“Eventually, everyone will dissolve in the sea, leaving only the Water God crying on her throne. By then... the sins of the Fontaine people will be cleansed.”
“Wow, that's so cruel?”
Paimon couldn’t help but furrow her brow after hearing the story.
“So, why do Fontaine people carry sin from birth?”
“There are many speculations among the people, but none of them have evidence, just groundless assumptions.”
Linny shook his head and said.
“Then why not just ignore the prophecy?”
“That's what we thought at first, but things have changed in recent years.”
“In recent years, the sea level of Fontaine has been rising continuously, and the prophecy is gradually coming true.”
“Although we cannot stop the rising sea level, we also want to do our part to help those living by the sea evacuate in time.”
“These magic pockets have a strong storage capacity. When the prophecy really comes true, they'll definitely be useful when they move.”
Thus, at Linny's behest.
Lumine and Paimon had to help Linny distribute the magic pockets.
Not only that, but they also had to collect various materials, which took a lot of time.
【Amber】：Hmm... Something feels wrong.
【Amber】：Traveler and Paimon, it feels like you're working for free.
【Kaeya】：Haha, don't say it so bluntly. You should say you're helping a friend.
【Hu Tao】：Work without pay, isn't that working for free?
【Xingqiu】：It seems like the Traveler was working for free for a few factions in Liyue as well.
【Xiangling】：It's true, first she was called by the Fatui to find the adepti, then she worked for Tianquan Ningguang, it feels like she was being used.
【Yoimiya】：Hearing you say that, I suddenly have that feeling too...
【Yae Miko】：The little one is naturally a hard worker. Perhaps... that's the meaning of travel?
【Klee】：Poor Honorary Knight sister...
【Paimon】：Hey! Don't make us sound so pathetic!
【Paimon】：You're making me feel sorry for myself now!
Seeing everyone's discussion.
Countless images flashed through Lumine's mind.
In Mondstadt, she was called by Venti to resolve the crisis of the Stormterror Dvalin.
But in reality, Dvalin turned out this way because of Venti's responsibility. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone rogue.
That said, it seems she was really being used by Venti, he didn’t take any risks, all the risks were on her!
The situations in Liyue and Inazuma were similar.
She was being used by the Fatui and the upper echelons of the nation, constantly running around on the frontlines.
In Liyue, she ventured alone to the Adeptus's abode, risking being beaten to death by the Adeptus to deliver a message.
In Inazuma, under the leadership of Kamisato Ayaka, she secretly joined the resistance, nearly dying at the hands of the Raiden Shogun and Scaramouche.
Not to mention Sumeru.
Scaramouche was still hopping around in front of her.
She, the original Sage, had become an outsider.
Thinking about it, Lumine suddenly felt strange, did she have a hole in her head?
She was being used as a pawn in every nation, doing the most dangerous things but not getting anything in return.
You call that the meaning of travel?
At this moment, Lumine was suddenly lost.
She had given so much, what had she gained?
Just as Lumine felt lost, the scenes in front of her played again.
After collecting a bunch of materials, Linny discovered the thief's whereabouts and asked them to cooperate with him.
After a chase, they didn't catch the thief, only recovered the stolen goods and returned them to the victim.
It was a rollercoaster ride.
Finally, everything was done.
Lumine and Paimon boarded the cruise ship with Linny.
Compared to the other storyline, their treatment was a world of difference.
Lumine was like a cow or horse being led around by everyone, unable to make her own decisions about what to do next.
While Su Mu was welcomed into Fontaine with open arms.
Just the scene of entering the city completely widened the gap in status between the two.
As the screen in front of her gradually dimmed, Lumine suddenly had a feeling, she wouldn't be winning the entire time, would she?
