Section 255

He didn't have Reid's own memory of Aina, so he didn't know her thoroughly, but now it seems that Aina is impeccable in both ability and loyalty.

However, when he abdicated, he also said that Aina would choose her own successor to manage Fontaine, but she didn't expect that she would persist until now.

Hundreds of years of time may not be a big deal for gods, but for humans, even if Aina has power, it is enough to bring her a lot of mental pressure.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years." Su Chen said softly.

Aina was stunned, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

After retrieving her memory, the longing and sorrow for Su Chen's departure over the past hundreds of years burst out. After hearing this sentence, she couldn't control her emotions.

"Sorry, Lord Reid, I didn't intend to... just..." Aina wiped her eyes hurriedly.

Su Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. I should be the one to say sorry. I owe you this."

"Then... Lord Reid is going to take over the Shulu Court again when he returns to Fontaine this time? I can make arrangements right away. I believe Lady Funina will be very happy."

"This." Su Chen rubbed his temples. "Let's talk about it later. I'll take care of some things now."

Alas~

He was originally here to take back his power.

Now he is involved again.

He has to quickly figure out what happened that year, and... think of an excuse after returning to Xumi... ah, explanation.

...

Fontaine.

In a banquet hall under the name of the Shulu Court.

At this time, the entire hall was brightly lit, and figures walked back and forth, preparing for the upcoming banquet.

Funina's head popped out of the door. After seeing that everything was ok inside, she walked in swaggeringly.

"Ah, Lady Funina, why are you here?" The logistics staff who were arranging the scene saw her and hurried over to greet her.

Funina put on her dignity and said calmly: "Don't worry my people, I'm just taking a walk in my busy schedule. Coming here is the inevitable result of fate."

"Ha..." The person in charge opened his mouth and thought, "Ms. Funina, can you speak human language? I don't understand mythology."

"What are you doing here?" After three seconds of seriousness, Funina asked.

"Oh, according to the instructions of Mistress Aina, a banquet will be held here tonight as a reception ceremony for the Xumi Envoy Group... It should be soon."

"I see, Xumi Envoy Group." Funina nodded pretentiously, "Then I believe my arrival will make the banquet more shining!"

The person in charge immediately said: "If it is Mistress Funina, it is natural. I believe your arrival will be the glory of everyone, but... I heard that you also arranged a dinner tonight to entertain the golden-haired traveler from a foreign land. Is it okay to go there?"

"OvO..."

Funina suddenly remembered that it was indeed the case.

Although the traveler was invited by means of trial, the etiquette of Fontaine must not be missed. The elegant and noble God of Water would not allow such a problem to occur.

So when she set out for Port Helu, she had already instructed people to prepare a banquet in advance.

I believe that after seeing the high-end Fontaine banquet, the poor traveler will definitely worship her!

But.

Funina has decided to reveal the true identity of the great sage Hein. She thinks that this Hein must be Reid. Even if he is not, he is probably some kind of "reincarnation". Anyway, tears have a reaction. If she is not allowed, she will eat the tears!

Of course, the matter of finding Reid is the most important thing in the world. I don't care about the cricket traveler.

"Go and let someone notify Vilet to entertain the traveler and the great magician Linni for me." Funina has many ideas and thought of a good way in a flash of inspiration.

Person in charge: "Ah?"

"Ah what? Go quickly."

"But I... will Lord Villette really go?"

Everyone knows that the Supreme Judge never attends such banquets, and he doesn't even care about anything other than the trial.

"Don't worry." Funina patted her son and said confidently: "Just say that I asked him to go, and he didn't dare to refuse."

The person in charge thought that you didn't seem to have much dignity in front of Lord Villette... Forget it, go, go, workers don't have the right to refuse leaders.

After she left, Funina began to stroll around the banquet.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

If Reid came back, she must bite him hard first.

"But... why is this thing not reacting again? It's really strange." She took out the golden teardrop and looked at it. Just as she finished speaking, she saw that the teardrop was blurred for a while, and then Su Chen appeared again.

"Ah! It's out, it's out!"

Funina shouted excitedly.

The maids who were preparing for the banquet looked at her one after another.

"Hmm~ No, it's okay, just do your own thing." Finina coughed lightly, pretending to be calm as she walked to the backstage of the banquet hall, slipped in and carefully looked at the teardrop.

This teardrop belongs to Su Chen. At the beginning, she used the last power of rules to collect the scattered memories after the former was decomposed. It can be said that except for the body, this teardrop is everything of Ryder Cross.

For Finina, it is also everything to her.

Every time after playing the role of the Water God, Fu Nina, who is physically and mentally exhausted, returns to the room. Only when she brings out such teardrops and feels the breath of Su Chen's presence, will she have the courage and motivation to continue.

How long will it take? Funina once thought about giving up altogether.

Without Ryder, she can only talk to herself every day, hiding the secret of playing the water god to save Fontaine deep in her heart.

Even though all the people in Fontaine now think that she is the Water God, it still cannot relieve her mental pressure. Five hundred years, the road is too long, she can only maintain the posture that the Water God should have, and forget it. What was your original self like?

Probably only Ryder Cross would remember Fonina at that time.

Funina has two secrets in her heart.

One is the secret to saving Fontaine.

The other is the secret that keeps her going.

"Five hundred years..." Funina stared at her tears with a sad expression, "Ryder, are you really back? I'm so lonely, so lonely, how long will it take... I miss you so much. ..”

So lonely.

so lonely.

Miss you.

The ethereal voice seemed to span time and space, causing Su Chen to pause while walking in Fengdanting.

He turned around and looked around.

"Your Excellency Lai... Hein, what's wrong?" Aina asked doubtfully.

"Nothing..." Su Chen pondered slightly. The voice just now was...Funina? Probably so, but how could he hear Funina's voice?

The sky was suddenly filled with haze.

"It seems like it's going to rain." A scholar raised his head and wondered: "That's strange, wasn't it fine just now?"

Although it was evening, because it had been sunny all day, the sky was still blazing with clouds just now, and everything was beautiful.

As a result, it turned cloudy in the blink of an eye.

Another scholar said: "It is said that there is a legend in Fontaine that when the Water Dragon King cries, it will rain from the sky."

"They are just rumors. There are many rumors about Fontaine, and these cannot be confirmed." Aina shook her head, "And the weather at the beach is always like this. It often rains without incident, and sometimes it rains heavily... Anyway, everyone , let’s hurry up, the banquet hall is over there.”

Not that anyone cared.

Anyway, these scholars did not come to Fontaine to study the Water Dragon King.

ha? What are you here for?

Master Hein said there were many hot girls at Fontaine Beach, so they came (bushi).

Well, this is a diplomatic activity carrying the country’s real name.

Su Chen looked away from the sky.

For some reason, he felt that the change in the weather at this moment was not caused by the so-called Water Dragon King, but by the Water Goddess Funina.

"Lord Ryder, what's wrong with you?" Aina walked beside him and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, let's go."

Su Chen just felt...a little uncomfortable.

Hearing the voice just now, he felt a little blocked in his heart.

Shaking their heads, the group continued forward and arrived at the banquet hall under the leadership of Aina.

The hall has been decorated, and long tables covered with white tablecloths are placed, with a variety of things placed on them - food, wine, fruits, etc.

Some maids stood by the hall waiting for orders.

"Where's Elise?" Aina walked in and asked.

"She was called away by Lady Fu Nina. It seems she was going to Momang Palace." A maid replied.

Aina nodded, since she was called away by Lady Funina, there was nothing she could do.

According to the reception process, the Water God will naturally not come here. She is responsible for all arrangements from beginning to end... However, what is Lady Funina here asking for? Aren't there a lot of guards outside?

Forget it, since it was Lady Funina who did it, if you can guess the meaning, then your brain is probably not normal (the water god forgives me, I didn’t mean to offend you).

"Your Excellency Hein, and everyone, welcome to Fontaine. Please allow me to express my most sincere respect to you on behalf of Fontaine."

After the polite official remarks, everyone dispersed one after another, and the people in the envoys couldn't wait to start enjoying the food. The road was both desert and ocean. Following the great sage Hein, I was hungry three times a day.

"Not bad."

Su Chen walked along the long table.

He prefers this form of dinner to sitting at the table waiting to be served.

"Um?"

at this time.

Feeling someone's gaze coming from a dark corner, Su Chen turned his eyes - that blue figure flashed across his field of vision.
