Chapter 150: The Powerful [Water God]
As a veteran journalist, Charlotte
has not experienced the excitement of breaking news for a long time.
Perhaps she only felt this feeling when she first entered the news industry.
At that time, she was full of desire and excitement for every possible headline.
However, as time passed, she saw more and more things, and the trembling feeling seemed to fade away. Until now——
“Dandelion Knight of Zhongli Mond in Liyue of Two Worlds”
“It seems that even Lord Fernin is the water god of Fontaine in another world, not the envoy of God as Lady Fernina said.”
She talked to herself, and the pen in her hand quickly recorded on the notebook.
“All clues were provided by the eleventh executive officer of the Fatui, and the executive officer in the photo was testing Lord Fernin.”
Charlotte was immersed in her own reasoning, completely unaware that danger was approaching.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed across her vision.
Charlotte was so focused on writing that she didn’t realize what was happening until the light was about to touch her camera.
The light accurately cut the strap of the camera on her chest, and the camera fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.
No! ! ! !
Charlotte looked at the fallen camera in horror and shouted.
But everything was irreversible. A sharp sword flashing with the light of the water element followed closely behind,
and mercilessly chopped at the camera, splitting the originally intact camera into pieces.
Then, a stream of water rushed towards the draft in her hand.
Charlotte was mentally prepared this time, and she quickly turned sideways to try to avoid the attack.
However, the water flow was fierce and fast. Although she tried her best to avoid it,
the draft was still soaked by more than half, and water drops kept dripping from the paper.
Charlotte picked up a corner of the draft and watched the notes she had worked so hard to record being destroyed.
Her eyes quickly became wet.
She looked at the person who attacked with tears in her eyes.
“Lord Verning! What are you doing!”
Verning’s movements were swift and direct, without a trace of hesitation.
Verning stood aside, stunned.
By the time she reacted, everything had already happened.
“Verning, you”
Under the gazes of the two, Verning seemed particularly calm.
He looked at Charlotte and said calmly:
Miss Charlotte, some things are not suitable for public disclosure.
“As for the photos in the camera,
they may destroy the harmonious relationship between Zhidong and Fontaine, so they cannot be kept.”
Charlotte was emotional, and her voice trembled with anger:
“How can this be!”
She quoted the relevant laws and regulations of Fontaine,
She looked at Verning and read the relevant FontaineRegulations.
“Damaging other people’s property, attacking others without reason,
using power to interfere with public opinion, these are all behaviors that are not allowed by Fontaine law.”
“You are committing a crime!”
Fernin was unmoved by Charlotte’s accusation. He raised his eyebrows and
responded: “These accusations are based on the fact that you have not violated Fontaine’s laws.”
“Your report may damage Fontaine’s diplomatic relations in the continent of Teyvat.
Making groundless speculation about the identity of the gods is a violation of the gods. “Disrespect for God alone is enough to make you face severe legal sanctions.”
“If you insist on publishing such reports, I’m afraid that not only you, but also the Steambird Newspaper will face the risk of closure.” The man in front of him looked exactly like Funina, but his aura was cold and steady, and his words revealed decisiveness and authority, which even made Charlotte feel the same sense of oppression as Lord Villet. Charlotte was shocked by his aura, and for a moment, she couldn’t find the right words to respond.
After a while, she broke the silence and asked:
“So, what the Fatui executive said was true?”
“Are you really the Water God from another world?”
At first, Charlotte only intended to record the confrontation between the Fatui executive and the Water God’s messenger,
After all, this was enough to become a sensational news.
However, when she witnessed with her own eyes the majesty of Furnin, which was far superior to Furninna and
closer to the majesty of the gods, her heart began to waver.
Originally, she only believed three points, but now it has increased to seven points. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
She became more determined to dig deeper into this news.
Charlotte’s thoughts spun rapidly, and she was immersed in a bold assumption:
If the Fatui executive’s words were true,
there is another world, another Fontaine, another water god,
This is undoubtedly a shocking news.
Such a discovery will not only stir up waves in the continent of Teyvat, but is also likely to reshape people’s understanding of the world.
Fernin lowered his eyes.
“I am just a wandering poet from Mond.”
“I am fortunate to be chosen as the messenger of Lady Fininna.”
“As a messenger, I have the responsibility to protect Lady Fininna and maintain the order of Fontaine.”
“Everything I do represents the will of God.”
“Lady Fininna, what do you think?”
Ferninna was still immersed in the shock just now, and was suddenly called out, she was a little unprepared.
“Ah? What you said to Verning is exactly what I think.”[]
“Charlotte, you must not send out this report.”
“Otherwise, otherwise”
Always soft-heartedFunina, for a moment, couldn’t think of any threatening words.
Seeing that she was useless, Funin took over the conversation with a tone of unquestionable determination:
Otherwise, we will arrest you for treason.
“I think you can’t write those touching reports in Melo Petersburg.”
“You!”
Charlotte glared at him.
She has always regarded herself as a reporter who sticks to the truth and is not afraid of power.
However, she also clearly realized that although Lady Funina seemed to be just a symbolic existence in Fontaine,
In fact, she was supported by powerful forces such as Lady Villet and Lady Clorinde.
Charlotte knew the importance of this report and the chain reaction it might cause.
Neither the Tribunal nor the Shadow-Exorcist wanted to see this report published.
Once the two adults intervene,
Even if she is not sent to Melopensky, she will face endless scrutiny and surveillance.
When that time comes, how can she still run the news?
The warnings from Funina and Verning mean that there is no room for maneuver.
Charlotte clenched her fists, and her voice was very firm, as if she was swearing:
“Just wait and see!”
“I will definitely uncover the truth!”
After saying that, Charlotte no longer cared about the camera fragments scattered on the ground,
Full of anger and determination, she strode out of the cafe.
Charlotte’s figure disappeared outside the door,
Verning remained calm, he squatted down and began to pick up the broken camera parts.
Although the camera wreckage seemed to be beyond repair,
he knew that even the smallest clue,
might fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives and cause unpredictable consequences.
To be on the safe side, let’s deal with it first.
Funina felt uncomfortable when she saw Charlotte’s attitude just now, and couldn’t help but hesitate to speak:
“Funina, isn’t it a bad idea for us to do this?”
“Charlotte just cried”
“We use the authority of the water god to suppress her, isn’t this an abuse of power?”
“Besides, this camera is her property, and we really shouldn’t deal with it like this.”
Funina heard the reluctance in Funina’s tone and frowned. .
