Chapter 734 Putting Everything In
The Pure Water Spirit shook its head. "I'm afraid you won't be able to help much. Earlier, the Primordial Sea of Conception started to stir for some reason, and the overflowing water began to carry memories into the Fontaine Water System. Recently, a monster has appeared out of nowhere and started to devour the Primordial Sea of Conception. Our fate when we go back is to be completely devoured, which is not what we wish for either."
Xu Ning frowned and said, "So you're just going to drift along like this in Fontaine's water system?"
The water sprite shook her head again, but this time she asked with a hint of expectation, "If my consciousness isn't confused, I remember when you saw me, you mistook me for one of my companions, right? Where is she now?"
“There’s a small town in Mondstadt where someone lives by a clear spring. They’ve even found a partner. It’s not far from Fontaine. Would you be interested in moving there?”
Although she asked that question, Xu Ning had a gut feeling that she wouldn't be willing to leave her home and go to Mondstadt.
However, Xu Ning soon realized that he was wrong, and very wrong at that.
He noticed that the pure water spirit was actually examining the Dust Concealment Gourd in his hand. He slowly raised the gourd and took a sip of wine, and found that the pure water spirit's gaze was also following the gourd.
"I sensed the presence of our goddess Egolia within your spatial equipment, and I thought my companions had already returned to Her embrace..."
Is it the goddess Egolia?
Xu Ning shook the gourd. According to Kalilu, his predecessor had most likely received a pure water from Egolia. Moreover, at the Dew Flower Sea where Egolia fell, Qingyi and that cowardly god stole a jar of spring water and poured it into the "Sweet Rain" spring.
If we consider the fact that gods and humans in Fontaine turn into water after death, then the clear spring in my own cave must actually contain the remains of Ergolia... Uh, I still need to drink the wine, I can't think about it any further.
"Since you put it that way..."
Xu Ning shook the Dust Concealment Gourd, "...So, would you be interested in staying here for a while? Once the disaster in Fontaine is over, I can send you back anytime."
The pure water sprite agreed after only a moment's thought.
"Okay, the blue space you see now is actually a small part of the source of the primordial sea of memories that contains our memories. We will go in with it."
Empty, who hadn't received any mission, stood there stunned.
How did things get to this point? And are you really a squirrel, able to put anything into a gourd?
Xu Ning had already activated the Dust Concealment Gourd's permissions with Qingyi. A huge vortex appeared at the gourd's mouth, and the pure water spirit and the surrounding blue space began to rapidly transform into water, surging towards the gourd's mouth.
...
Meanwhile, at a small fountain southeast of Mojie Station.
An older brother and his little sister happened to arrive here as well.
"Colette, we've been out playing for a while now, and we don't know when the opera will be over. Should we go home first..."
The little girl named Cornettley shook her head vigorously, "No, let's wait for Mom and Dad to come home together. Maybe we can buy some yummy treats on the way!"
If Mom and Dad find out they went to the trial, and I secretly take you out to play, forget about good food, I'll definitely give you a good beating.
The older brother squatted down with a helpless look on his face. "How about this? I'll do you a magic trick. If I can make the fountain stop, you can come home with me and wait for Mom and Dad, okay?"
The little girl clapped her hands happily, "Brother, change quickly! Brother, change quickly!"
The older brother stood up, silently recalling the rhythm of the fountain's flow, and just as it was about to stop, he suddenly pointed.
"Stop!"
In that instant, the water in the fountain disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon dried up completely.
"Brother, you made the water in the fountain disappear! You're a great magician too, so amazing!"
The older brother's hand trembled as he pointed at the fountain. He then squatted down, hugged his cheering sister tightly, and fled in panic.
...
In another place, inside a huge, dark, and damp steel building.
A black-haired man wearing a coat looked at the steel pointer on the ground that was pointing straight ahead, and with a "click," it jumped back one mark to the left.
The black-haired man scratched his head, which was sticking up like dog ears, and muttered in confusion, "Shouldn't this thing keep going up? Why is it jumping back down? Should we share this with that guy...?"
The black-haired man tilted his head back and thought for a while, but finally decided not to say anything.
"Well, it's a good thing anyway, and we have more time now, so let's celebrate with afternoon tea."
...
As the primordial waters of the fetal sea and the pure water spirits poured into the Dust Concealment Gourd, the aquamarine space in front of them rapidly collapsed.
Xu Ning and Kong's consciousnesses returned to their bodies.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingquan's side was in an uproar.
Esmond felt that his career in the guard force was very likely to end today.
Ever since the drunkard who always drank from his gourd gave the criminal Marcel something to drink, along with the blond boy, the three of them seemed to have entered a meditative state, completely unresponsive to the outside world.
Then, disaster struck.
First, the criminal Marcel, who was to be escorted this time, suddenly showed extreme fear and remorse on his face, which had been as if he were asleep. Then, without warning, he collapsed and died!
Then, Lu Jingquan suddenly surged as if boiling, and then stopped flowing for a moment.
Although the water volume quickly returned to normal, the abnormal situation, which had not occurred for hundreds of years, suddenly appeared at this time.
I'm afraid even if I write an accident report, no one will believe it!
But when this drunkard woke up, he acted as if nothing had happened. He talked to that guy and wasted the whole day at the opera house. Now all he wanted to do was go back to the Grand de Bo Hotel to eat, drink and rest.
"You...you're not going to just leave like this. I've said it before, you'll be responsible for any consequences that may arise from this criminal."
Xu Ning glanced at the agitated security guards, then nonchalantly pointed to the distorted face on the ground. "We warned you before we came here, didn't we? This place is haunted. Look at him, he was clearly scared to death. Of course, that also shows he's done many evil deeds and has a guilty conscience. Upright people like us have nothing to fear..."
Esmond retorted angrily, "That's just your side of the story. We've already notified professional doctors; they'll diagnose it overnight and give their conclusions. If it's proven to be related to the bowl of water you gave him..."
“Then I’ll move into Mero Petersburg in place of Marcel, is that alright?”
Xu Ning silenced Esmond's roar with a single sentence and looked around.
"It looks like you won't let me go until the results are out. I'm in the middle of nowhere, so I might as well just go back to the opera house and spend the night there."
