Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Fortress of Meropide



As the trial concluded, the system's voice chimed in at the opportune moment, "Congratulations, Host, for completing the trial event – Solving the serial disappearance case of young girls, gaining 3200 trial points.

Completed trial event – Accepting the judgment of the gods and gaining recognition, gaining 1600 trial points."

Hearing this, Lin Yide couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

He had endured so much hardship precisely for these trial points, hadn't he?

Just then, Euphrasie, who had become the editor-in-chief of the Steambird newspaper, keenly captured this rare moment.

She quickly picked up her image-capturing device, pressed the shutter, and permanently froze Lin Yide's smile onto the film.

This photograph was later named "A Smile of Light in the Darkness," becoming a lasting classic in Fontaine's news history.

Under the gaze and respectful eyes of countless citizens, Lin Yide maintained a steady pace, slowly walking down from the defendant's seat.

His figure, illuminated by the lights, appeared even more resolute and composed.

As he reached the door, a young man with a determined face and a sturdy build stood quietly waiting for him.

This young man wore a black suit, stood ramrod straight, and possessed a sharp gaze.

"Wriothesley, I truly didn't expect you to personally escort me to the Fortress of Meropide. It's quite an honor for me," Lin Yide said with a light smile, looking at the young man before him.

Wriothesley was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that the renowned Director of the West Factory would recognize him.

A sincere smile appeared on his face as he responded, "Baron Yide, you're too kind. It's my honor to personally escort you to the Fortress of Meropide."

Lin Yide nodded, refraining from further pleasantries. "Let's go."

Wriothesley followed closely behind, and the two walked out of the Opera Epiclese one after the other.

Countless citizens, like a long dragon, silently followed behind Lin Yide and Wriothesley, accompanying them all the way.

Leading the way were Lyney and Lynette, their eyes shimmering with reluctance and sorrow, as if something was being forcibly extracted from their world.

Lynette couldn't suppress her emotions, and tears fell like broken pearls, dampening her cheeks.

Behind them, the members of the West Factory marched forward in neat formation. Arlecchino, Clorinde, and others were among them, their faces serious, their steps firm.

Further back were Callas and Clementine of the Spina di Rosula.

Beside them, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl was particularly eye-catching; she was Callas' daughter, Navia.

Her gaze was fixed on Lin Yide, as if he were the only person in the world.

"Father, Baron Yide is truly remarkable," Navia said, her eyes shining with admiration, her words filled with endless respect.

Hearing his daughter's words, Callas couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, he is indeed a remarkable person."

Although Callas was proud, at this moment, he had to admit the gap between himself and Lin Yide.

Navia suddenly pointed excitedly at Lin Yide's back and said, "I'm going to marry him in the future."

As soon as Navia finished speaking, Callas and Clementine's expressions suddenly became a little strange.

They didn't actually object to their daughter marrying Lin Yide when she grew up, after all, Lin Yide was an excellent choice in terms of both ability and character.

However, the key issue was that Navia was going to face a goddess as a rival in love, which made the two of them sweat for their daughter's future.

"Uh… Navia, this… let's forget about it," Callas hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but advise.

He was worried that his daughter would be hurt in the future, so he hoped she could give up this unrealistic idea.

"I won't give up easily! I'm not only going to marry him, but I'm also going to be the Director of the West Factory in the future and become your boss,"

Navia said cheerfully, her eyes shining with determination.

She didn't listen to her father's advice at all, but instead strengthened her resolve.

Clementine, who was beside her, looked at her daughter's confident appearance and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Navia, you're so cute! I support you, no matter what you want to do, I'll be on your side."

With her mother's support, Navia became even more determined in her thoughts.

On a distant high-rise building, Furina stood quietly, her gaze passing through the bustling crowd, locking onto Lin Yide's receding figure.

She stood there, as if the whole world had stopped, only her heart beating with Lin Yide's steps.

A gentle breeze blew, her hair swaying in the wind, like her undulating mood at this moment.

Those scenes of getting along with Lin Yide flashed through her mind one by one, every smile, every eye contact, made her feel extremely happy and joyful.

However, as time passed, Lin Yide's figure gradually became smaller, and finally disappeared completely from her sight.

At this moment, Furina seemed to wake up from a beautiful dream, she returned to reality, but the decision in her heart became even more firm.

As soon as Fontaine's prophecy is lifted, she will not hesitate to put down the scepter in her hand, shed all the shackles, and run towards Lin Yide.

After a long journey of more than an hour, Lin Yide and Wriothesley finally arrived at the towering iron gate of the Fortress of Meropide.

This heavy iron gate seemed to separate two worlds, outside the gate was freedom and prosperity, while inside the gate was silence and imprisonment.

Lin Yide stopped and slowly turned around. His gaze swept over every familiar and kind face, seeing the reluctance and blessings in their eyes.

At this moment, he felt a warm current surging in his heart.

He took a deep breath, and a bright and sincere smile bloomed on his face.

He waved his hand vigorously and said loudly, "Goodbye, everyone!" His words were full of determination and relief.

As his voice fell, he resolutely turned around and walked into the Fortress of Meropide without looking back.

The heavy iron gate slowly closed behind him, making a deafening roar.

At this moment, the once influential Baron Yide of the West Factory will become a thing of the past.

His departure not only heralded the end of Fontaine's aristocratic era, but also marked the beginning of a new era.

In this new era, people will be born equal, free and fair.

Above the starry sky, a new constellation quietly appeared. At the same time as its appearance, the entire starry sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and the constellations became blurred and difficult to identify.

On the celestial island above the sky, the Heavenly Principles, which had been in a state of slumber, suddenly opened their eyes, and a look of shock quickly flashed across their eyes.

They were confused, the Descender had not yet appeared, why had the world's lifeline begun to fluctuate?

The figure of the Heavenly Principles flashed and disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in the vast system of the World Tree.

At this moment, the World Tree was like a supercomputer running at full speed, with countless pieces of information flowing rapidly and being processed quickly.

But in the end, this "computer" stopped running at high speed, not because it had reached a conclusion, but because it chose to stop the calculation.

This means that the future destiny of the entire Teyvat continent will be unpredictable!

The world's top powerhouses all keenly noticed this change, and they all felt incredible.

The operation of the Teyvat continent originally followed the unchanging rules of ancient times. Usually, only the appearance of the Descender can cause deep tremors in the world, thereby rewriting the entire trajectory of fate.

But what is puzzling is that, according to the preset of fate, the Descender who can shake the foundation of the world has not descended in advance at this moment.

In other words, the change within the world triggered the change in the fate of the Teyvat continent!
