Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 247: Departure! The upcoming decisive battle

"Of course it's Him. I never thought I was a qualified god."

Egolia answered without any hesitation. This answer did not come from her trust in Fukalos, but simply because she really felt that she was not a qualified god.

Sensing the loneliness and sadness in Egolia's words, Sines gently took her hand.

"Actually, you've done pretty well. No one thinks you're not an excellent god."

Egolia looked at Hines with a gentle smile, but did not respond to his comfort.

Hines knew that it was difficult for him to change what Egolia had decided, including her low opinion of him.

In fact, in Hines's opinion, Egolia did nothing wrong. If she had to be said to be wrong, then Hines felt that Egolia was wrong because she wanted to protect everyone.

She felt guilty for being powerless to help the primitive people.

In the war on land, she was heartbroken by the senseless deaths;

The pure water spirit transformed into a human form, causing Fontaine to be cursed, and she also thought it was all her fault.

The combination of pure water elves and humans is a taboo involving species change and evolution, and Egolia, who stole the power of the original fetal sea and made this happen, is undoubtedly responsible for it.

Egolia also thought, if she had not agreed to the pure water elves' wishes, would all this have happened?

But unfortunately, the fate of Teyvat has already been determined.

Even if she had not given her followers the means to transform, there would be other people or gods who would do it for her.

......

"Uh, why does it seem like Egolia has such low self-esteem?"

"I can see that too. She actually said she wasn't qualified, so what did she do?"

"What a coincidence! I want to know too. Lao Mi, please open the Fontaine! I want to dig out all the stories about Gines and Egolia!"

"Don't worry, the next big version will be Fontaine. I'm really looking forward to the plot of Fontaine."

"Indeed, the Sinner's Dance has now clearly stated that Xines is the sinner. Could it be that my brother Xi is this 'sinner'?"

"Dude, didn't I just say that?"

......

Ying sighed helplessly as she watched the two people showing off their affection. Amber, Youla, Xiao Gong, Ling Hua...

I miss you guys. Do you want to take some time to go back and see them?

What? Looking for your brother? Well, let him wait a little longer. I see he's having a good time with Abyss and Dain. Humph!

As for Paimon, well, what else can she think about except what to eat at the celebration banquet?

The memory ended here. Hines turned to look at Ying and Paimon who were lost in thought and asked casually,

"Is there anything else you want to know? If not, let's go find Narcida."

Ying, who had no further ideas at the moment, shook her head.

"No more, let's go to Jingshan Palace first."

Hines nodded and turned his attention to Elhaisen and Senor.

"Then I'll leave the political aspects to you two. We'll deal with the more superficial flaws."

Elhaisen nodded calmly, but Seno beside him said nothing and just stared at Hines, which made Hines feel a little uncomfortable.

"Seno, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Law... How do you solve legal problems?"

Seno knew that although Chines had dealt with those nobles in a simple and rough manner, he could not stand idly by when it came to the loopholes in the Fontaine law and the Fontaine court system.

Now, Seno has a premonition that he may encounter a similar situation in the future, where all evidence is hidden and no matter where he investigates, he will only get a not guilty verdict.

Would he then really be like Chines, who had disregarded the law and used his own power to judge sinners?

No, this is not right.

Such behavior will cause the majesty of the law to disappear. Once the law loses its majesty and can no longer fulfill its role in restraining evil people, the country will not be far from destruction.

"This..."

Hines said calmly,

"If you're asking whether I've been punished for violating the law, I can give you a definitive answer..."

"If you're asking what adjustments I've made to justice when the law isn't fair..."

"Then I'll tell you, the court shouldn't just be people related to the case; the public should also participate in the trial. When the sinner's evil is clearly revealed to everyone, doesn't that count as evidence?"

Seno said no more, took a half step back, and indicated that he was fine.

Hines' first answer made him more convinced of the importance of the law.

Hines' second answer also gave him a new idea. Perhaps when a person faces power, he will be afraid and retreat.

But what if there is no one around him?

What if there are many people standing beside him who are eager for him to tell the truth?

Just like a wolf pack, if a lone wolf is in the wild, it doesn't have to think about how to hunt, but how to survive.

Only when it belongs to a wolf pack can it become a feared hunter.

Cowardice and fear will be infinitely reduced at this moment, and courage will grow.

As Sines and his group gradually disappeared in Senor's sight, he turned back to look at Elhaisen.

"Elhaisen, if I 'find' enough evidence to arrest the Sages tomorrow, will it affect your plans?"

Elhaisen stood up and walked in front of Senor, with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect the disciplinary officer to change his mind so quickly. As for your statement of 'finding evidence tomorrow,' I don't think that's right..."

Seno nodded, lowered his eyes slightly, and thought to himself: It is indeed necessary to stabilize these sinners first. Since it will affect Elhaisen, I can only wait and find an opportunity later.

"...I should be the one who 'found' the evidence and handed it over to the disciplinary officer."

Seno looked up suddenly, unable to believe that this was something Elhaisen would say.

After spending some time together, he originally thought that Elhaisen was a person who would only interfere in matters that concerned him, but he didn't expect that he would be willing to take the blame.

"...Thanks."

El Haisen waved his hand and walked out.

"No need to thank me. It's just that your position as the Grand Disciplinary Officer isn't enough to obtain that evidence. However, as the Acting Sage, I'm different."

Seno took a deep breath, a faint lightning lingered on his fingertips, and a looming giant claw was now attached to Seno's palm.

Seno turned around and looked at the room at the end of the hall, where there was a great sage who was always silent.

"Don't worry, they will be here to accompany you soon."

With Seno's departure, the place returned to silence, just like the sea before a storm, peaceful and comfortable.
