Chapter 1469 Zhong Guo's Ancient Saying
Momang Palace.
Linni and his two companions from the Hearth House observed the Momang Palace from afar, watching the deep-sea dragon lizards swaggering around outside the palace, and all three of them felt a chill run down their spines.
These deep-sea lizards are no longer salty; they no longer wear the skin of merusin and have reverted to their original ferocious lizard appearance.
Those interlocking teeth, each one like a little kid.
Linnie said to her two companions beside her, "Grund, Shaplo, listen to Linette, let's just scout from a distance."
"If we really go in, I'm afraid we won't come back alive."
Glend and Shaplo nodded. They weren't like Linni, who possessed the Eye of God, and their chances of survival inside were probably no higher than Linni's.
Suddenly, Linni seemed to see a figure appear like a ghost above the palace of Momang Palace, while the deep-sea dragon lizards, who were on high alert, did not notice it at all.
Linni looked again, but there was no ghostly figure in that place.
Linni thought to herself that she was too tired and her eyes were playing tricks on her.
……
After Navelette finished processing a document, Meloscin Sedna thoughtfully brought her a glass of clean water.
"Lord Vilette, you've had a long day. Please have some water and rest!"
Navelette took the water glass from Sedna and smiled, "Sedna, my fatigue is different from that of humans. This little thing is not enough to make me feel tired."
Sedna's eyes seemed to sparkle: "Lady Vilette is so dedicated, and Lady Funina is really something, pushing everything onto Lady Vilette."
Navelette sipped the water in her glass, a lingering flavor spreading across her taste buds.
Navigette loved to drink water—no, she should say she loved to savor water.
Shuilong can deeply feel the emotions contained in the spring water; for him, tasting the water from different places is like tasting gourmet food.
The waters of Mondstadt are crystal clear, the waters of Liyue have a lingering aftertaste, the waters of Inazuma are deep and profound, and the waters of Sumeru have a rich flavor...
Because of Navelette's fondness for fine water, Fontaine's civil servants would subconsciously bring some bottled water from other places to give to Navelette when they went out.
The water wasn't expensive, it was practically free, so it wasn't considered a bribe to the superior. Under normal circumstances, Navelette would accept the kindness of his subordinates.
Sedna was in charge of Navilette's water resources, preventing them from becoming polluted or smelly. Each time, she would bring water from different places for Navilette to taste.
Navelette drank the water, closed her eyes, and savored the taste: "This water has a rustic, earthy flavor. I can almost see terraced fields layered on the hillside, and farmers happily harvesting their crops..."
Navelette opened her eyes: "This is the spring water of Qingce Manor in Liyue, right?"
Sedna nodded and said with great admiration, "Lady Vilette is so amazing. She can tell the origin of any water she drinks."
Navelette patted Sedna's head and smiled: "It's not some profound skill, it's just that after drinking a lot, you can experience the rich emotions in the water."
"The spring water in Qingcezhuang is mellow and warm, flowing with the same emotion as terraced fields, and carrying a slight sense of warmth and satisfaction."
"If I have the chance, I must visit Qingce Village and see the beautiful waters of Liyue."
Sedna nodded: "Lord Navelette is the master of the Four Seas and Lakes. Wherever there is water, it is Lord Navelette's territory."
Navelette chuckled softly, “Sedna, according to your logic, all places with earth are ruled by rock dragons, and all places with sky are ruled by wind dragons?”
"This, this..."
Sedna was somewhat speechless.
Navelette stood up, looked at the moonlit scenery outside the window with some emotion, and said, "These days are no longer the ancient times."
"This era is more prosperous and colorful, but also more unfamiliar."
Sedna watched Navelette's retreating figure and felt that Navelette must be carrying a heavy burden.
Aji and Nyod knocked on the door and came in to report.
Njord shouted, "The House of Hearths dares to send spies into the Palace of Moman? Lord Villette, let's send troops until winter!"
Navilette ignored Njord and looked out the window.
Sedna chuckled to herself.
Njord obediently lowered his head and said no more.
A-Zhi explained the reason for the incident: "Lord Nyod saw three figures acting suspiciously not far from the Mo Mang Palace. They are probably spies sent by the House of Hearths."
"Lord Vilette, should we arrest them?"
Linni and his two companions thought they were well hidden, but in reality, they were discovered by Nyod as soon as they entered the vicinity of the Mo Mang Palace, which is about ten miles away.
The deep-sea dragon lizards used to live in the pitch-black Abyss Palace. Their vision had long since degenerated, and in its place was an elemental sense like an electric field.
Everything is made up of elements. Even though the deep-sea dragon lizard can't see anything, it can clearly see everything in the dark by sensing elements.
That's why they were able to be assigned to reconnaissance posts in the Momon Palace by Navellet.
Instead of answering directly, Navelette responded with an old Chinese proverb: "The law will not be applied until the evil deeds are exposed!"
Njord gave a wise look, "I don't understand, smồngồ!"
Azi nodded, then bowed and left Villette's office.
Nyod caught up and asked Aji, "Aji, what was Lord Vilette just babbling about?"
A glance at Njord, then said, "Does Lord Vilette mean that we cannot take action against those three before they have committed any illegal acts?"
Njord was getting impatient: "What law or not, I don't understand. All I know is that those guys came to offend Lord Vilette, so can't we take action against them?"
Azhi nodded: "Fontaine is a country of justice, and everything done here must be in accordance with the law."
“Last time Aang killed someone, fortunately it was in self-defense, but because of excessive self-defense and the heinous nature of the crime, Lord Navelette ordered Aang to never leave the deep sea for the rest of his life.”
Njord was a little angry when he talked about it: "Aang did nothing wrong. That guy even tried to attack Lord Navelette. Aang was already being lenient by not tearing him to pieces."
A tried to steer Nyolde toward civilization: "Your idea is correct, but remember that Fontaine is a land of men. Lord Vilette was first and foremost the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, and only then our Water Dragon King."
"Do you think Lord Vilette prioritizes the laws of the Fontaines or the customs of the dragon lizards?"
Njord paused for a moment.
It still couldn't accept that the mighty Water Dragon Supreme would actually consider the thoughts of a group of insignificant creatures.
Azhi comforted him, "Lord Vilette isn't completely indifferent to the Water Dragon Lizard Clan. If the matter of Aang swallowing people were exposed in the newspapers, the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard Clan would definitely be driven out of Fontaine."
"But Lord Vilette suppressed the news, so the dragon lizards' situation wasn't too dire."
“Lord Njord, the deep-sea dragon lizards must learn how to live in harmony with humans, otherwise Lord Vilette will surely expel you.”
"When we get back, we'll have the dragon lizards memorize the 'Frinna Codex' properly. Lady Vilette will be quizzing them on it regularly."
"this--"
Upon hearing that he had to memorize something, Njord immediately became dejected. A prince of the Water Dragon race, he actually had to memorize something.
How sad.
