Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Chapter 304 Illusion and Reality (page 12)

After such a long time, Nanyang finally got his wish and had a serious afternoon tea with Navilette, which was proposed by him.

"Lord Villette, do you think this case...will have to be investigated for another fourteen years?" Nanyang asked.

What a coincidence that the case that Villette went to trial today was the murderer of the serial disappearance of girls who was accused by someone who was interested.

But although the murderer was accused of this crime, after everything came to light, it was discovered that this man had indeed killed someone, but he had nothing to do with this case.

Thinking about it... Karin disappeared yesterday, but the defendant in today's case was already under control four days ago when he was accused of being the murderer of the serial disappearance of girls. Logically speaking, it couldn't be him.

Villette thought that Nanyang was feeling sad thinking about his sister, so he said, "I can't tell for sure."

Nan Yang forced a smile: "Yes, after all, there are many things that even you can't get the answer to."

Her condition wasn't very good, so Villette was silent and just said, "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize." She shook her head, "It's not your fault, I just feel a little...a little sigh."

She took a sip of the black tea in the cup and said, "Let's change the topic. Mr. Villette, um..."

She thought for a long time, and then asked under the slightly puzzled gaze of the Supreme Inquisitor: "Do you have any friends?"

The topic changed so suddenly that Villette hesitated for a moment, but still replied sincerely: "If you are referring to important social partners in the interpersonal circle... I probably have one."

Nanyang:?

Nanyang was a little surprised: "Isn't this different?"

"Important social partner in the interpersonal circle" may sound like nothing wrong at first, but...

"Are you being too objective when you say that?" Nanyang asked, "According to what you said, if Xumi's secretary comes to Fontaine to discuss some matters with you, he will also be an important communication partner."

Villette was silent for a moment.

Nanyang added: "And... why is it probably possible? Are you not sure yourself?"

"Friends should be... people who are not related by blood but are friendly to each other and share the same goals, right?"

"Lord Villette, you have been in Fengdanting for so many years. Apart from the Water God, have you really made anyone who can be considered your friend? Why haven't I seen anyone around you besides Melusin and the Water God? exist?"

"When you think about it, you seem a bit pitiful."

After saying a series of words, Villette fell silent again.

"……is that so?"

"That's right."

Nanyang stirred the black tea with a small spoon casually.

She held her head with one hand, looking a little casual.

"Lord Villette, you know, I like fairy tales very much." She lowered her eyes, watching the ripples of the black tea being stirred, and said softly, "I have read many fairy tales, and my favorite is That one is called "If I'm By Your Side"."

Villette answered her: "I know the story."

"Yes, this story was very popular at the time. I guess there are not many people in Fontaine who don't know about it." Nanyang continued, "I have always wanted to ask the author of this fairy tale why such a heartwarming story has such a title. The words 'if I were by your side'... sound like a kind of regret, right?"

Villette said nothing.

The secretary in front of him seemed to be lost in some thoughts, "I would really like to find that writer and ask about it. Unfortunately, he passed away before I had the opportunity."

The Supreme Judge thought for a moment: "Perhaps this sentence has a different interpretation for the writer himself."

Nanyang raised his eyes and looked at him, "What do you think?"

As soon as he asked this question, Nanyang immediately said: "Forget it, you'd better stop talking, I'm not that curious."

Then, she looked at the sky and said, "Let me tell you a fairy tale that not many people have heard."

"Have you ever heard of Snow Child?"

Navilette said, "Sorry, I didn't hear that."

"No need to apologize, I haven't heard of it before." Nanyang said, "Once upon a time, there was a snow child who met a little rabbit."

"They became friends. The Snow Child and the bunny had a very good relationship. They would play together and have a deep friendship."

Then Nanyang stopped talking.

She had just started the story, and Villette was curious: "What happened next?"

Nanyang didn't answer, only asked: "Just to confirm, you know the definition of 'friend', right?"

Navilette: "..."

Villette: "Yes, please continue."

Nan Yang understood: "Later, there was a fire in the little rabbit's house, and the snow child saved the little rabbit and then melted."

Navilette: "..."

The Supreme Judge was stunned for a moment.

His mind went blank for a rare moment, and he didn't know how to evaluate this story.

He hesitated and asked: "...fairy tale?"

"Yes, a fairy tale." Nanyang nodded seriously.

She glanced at the sky as if inadvertently and found that dark clouds had begun to appear in the sky.

"I didn't expect this," he said.

"Fairy tales are much more interesting than you think. Do you want to hear another one?"

Villette thought that he was the one who proposed the afternoon tea this time, so he nodded: "If you are willing."

"Okay, then continue."

Nan Yang wandered in his mind for a long time, then slowly said: "Once upon a time, there was a little girl selling matches..."

"She walked barefoot in the windy and snowy winter. It was New Year's Eve. No one bought her matches, but she didn't dare to go home. Even if there was a draft in the house, if her father knew that she didn't sell the matches, she would Get a good beating!”

"Then she sat in a corner that was barely shielded from the wind, her hands and feet were so cold that she couldn't feel anything. By some mistake, she struck a match - guess what she saw?"

Villette's intuition was wrong, but he still hadn't experienced such a story, so he had to judge based on the facts: "Did you see the fire?"

Nanyang pretended to be serious and denied: "No, it's the stove."

Did Villette guess that it was because a kind person discovered the child and gave her a stove to warm her?

"The second time I lit the match, the little girl saw the roast goose. Do you think it was a coincidence? She was very hungry, and the delicious food appeared in front of her. The third time, she saw the beautiful Christmas tree... Of course, you may not know What is a Christmas tree? Just think of it as a necessary item for the New Year. The last time, she saw her kind grandma."

"Grandma picked her up, and with warmth and love, the girl followed her grandma and walked away."

Villette commented: "So, it was grandma who found the suffering girl and took her with her to enjoy the life she should have had, right? This sounds like a good ending."
