Chapter 796 Do you want to see the ending?
In the blink of an eye, the magic circle on the ground disappeared without a trace, and even the blood that had spread on the ground gradually disappeared.
"Phew, I suddenly feel like I can breathe normally again! Look, even that big sphere is slowly turning back into stone!"
Xu Ning followed Paimon's finger and saw that the red markings on Erinas's heart were fading rapidly, gradually returning to its original stone sphere shape.
"Father said he needs to rest for a while..."
Mameh suddenly said with a hint of disappointment.
Xu Ning took her small hand and, smiling, told her every word that Erinas wanted to convey to her.
Mameh immediately laughed with delight.
“I’ve always been happy. I love painting, and my father has always encouraged me. Now I’ve met Mr. Xu Ning, and I’m also happy to meet you guys who like my paintings, Paimon. I believe that gradually everyone will also like my paintings.”
Mameh glanced regretfully at the painting on the stone in front of him. "I guess I can't take this painting back. I'm afraid I'll have a hard time painting an exact copy of it. I'll just leave it here. And why is Seymour still sleeping?"
"The initial sorting of fragmented data has been completed."
As if he had heard Mameh’s words, Seymour suddenly shuddered and began to move around again, wagging his tail.
"Seymour, you're awake. Did you remember something again?"
Seymour turned to Mameh and said, “Yes, I have found the purpose for which I was designed. I was designed and manufactured as the prototype 4ACV07 by (noisy mechanical voice) to accompany and protect my master, Miss Marian.”
As insiders of that great battle, Xu Ning and Caterpillar already knew this fact.
Paimon, however, seemed somewhat surprised. "Your master isn't Mameh?"
Seymour said to Mameh in a tone that seemed apologetic, "I have indeed received too much care from Miss Mameh so far, but I have a mission to fulfill."
"My primary command is to replace... (noisy mechanical voice) and stay by Miss's side to ensure she has a happy smile. I have been dereliction of duty for too long, and all my logical units are demanding that I correct myself quickly. I'm afraid I have to say goodbye for now, Miss Mameh."
Mameh understood what Seymour meant, but it was also clear that she was very reluctant to part with him.
"Then...I'll go too..."
“No. It is presumed that this operation is extremely dangerous. For your safety, I must refuse your offer, Miss Mameh. But I promise you that once I find my master, I will come back here to thank you.”
Seeing Mameh's somewhat sad expression, Xu Ning stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, Seymour is very capable too. But Seymour, you said you were going to find Marian, do you know where she is now?"
Seymour shook his head. "Some of my memory data is still corrupted, so I can't pinpoint exactly where the 'Narcissistic Cross Society' I need to go to is. However, my predictive deduction module has calculated all possible locations, so this search may take a long time..."
Upon hearing the name "Narcissistic Cross Society," Caterpillar paused slightly, then looked at Xu Ning.
However, Xu Ning seemed completely unaware of the name and said to Seymour with a smile, "It's alright, we can help you find it together. That would surely save a lot of time."
Kong suddenly looked over as well, and was about to speak when Xu Ning said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you a little uncomfortable because I suddenly stole your lines?"
Kong smiled wryly, "I don't think I'm the kind of person who would rush to help with anything I can."
Ha, you actually think you aren't?
Kong said in a low voice, "I just heard Mameh talk about Jacob. Shouldn't it be more important to deal with him and that 'master' he mentioned first? From what he said, I'm afraid Fontaine still has some calamities to overcome..."
Xu Ning shook his head and said, "I know that their so-called 'world-style' is nothing more than a prophecy, accurately predicting that Fontaine would be submerged by the Primordial Sea of Conception. But as you also know, the danger of the Primordial Sea of Conception has long been eliminated, and the Fontaine people's water-soluble constitution has been changed by Vilette. There's no need to worry about them causing any more trouble..."
Kong felt that Xu Ning's words made a lot of sense, but he always felt that Jacob was a bit strange.
Logically, Jacob couldn't have missed the major news that swept through Fontainebleau, from the missing girl case to the safe rescue of Fontainebleau residents after the flood.
But why does he still believe that disaster is inevitable? And why does he stubbornly insist that their schemes will still be effective?
Moreover, why would someone as cautious as Brother Xu turn a blind eye to two individuals who might be plotting something in the shadows, yet go and help a mechanical dog find its owner?
Xu Ning looked at Kong, who seemed lost in thought, and suddenly asked, "Does Kong like reading fairy tales?"
Kong didn't know what Xu Ning meant by suddenly saying that, but Paimon picked up the conversation with great interest.
“We’ve read a lot of books. In Mondstadt Library, we’ve read ‘The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs’ and ‘The Boar Princess’, although I wouldn’t recommend that for children. We’ve also read quite a few martial arts novels from Liyue, light novels from Inazuma, and mystery novels from Fontaine.”
"Oh, I didn't realize you'd become such a learned Paimon. So you must have read all these books too, right?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Ning mysteriously leaned closer to Kong and said, "Now that you've seen the beginning, wouldn't you like to see the ending?"
For a moment, I was in a daze. I saw the beginning—which book's beginning? And what kind of ending was it? Where should I go to find it?
"Just follow your older brother."
After bidding a reluctant farewell to Mameh, the group left Haimo Village under Seymour's guidance.
After Seymour came out, he seemed a little unsure of where to go, but he didn't hesitate for long and soon chose a direction, with the others following behind him at a distance.
"Why can't I just tell it the location of the Narcissus Cross Society?"
Caterpillar walked beside Xu Ning and asked quietly.
Since coming out with this person, Katppilla found herself increasingly unable to understand him.
Xu Ning took a sip of his drink, looked at the mechanical dog searching for its way around, and said calmly, "Perhaps the location of the society is always there, and has never changed, but everyone may see a completely different society because they take different paths. What do you think?"
Caterpillar shook his head; he didn't understand.
But just then, a small voice suddenly came over.
"Knights who seem so reliable, could you please help us?"
