The Sakoku Decree and Vision Hunt Decree Begin in Inazuma!

That night, just as the sky had darkened, Wu Wanghai knocked on Furina's door after using the skill card.

Although he still had enough Primogems for another ten-pull, Wu Wanghai thought it over. Getting such an incredible figure and such an invincible one-of-a-kind skill card had probably already used up all his luck.

Maybe he needed to borrow some of Furina's luck, so his pulls would yield something useful.

When he had the chance, he definitely needed to save up a few hundred pulls to play with Klee.

After waiting a while, Furina's voice came from inside. "Who is it?"

"It's me, Fufu!" Wu Wanghai called from outside.

There was a brief pause before Furina spoke again. "Do you need something from me?"

"Come out first. There's something I want to tell you," Wu Wanghai said.

"Creak~" Furina pushed open the door. Rubbing her right eye as though she were about to sleep, she said, "I'm going to bed. Whatever it is, make it quick!"

As soon as Wu Wanghai saw Furina come out, he grabbed her arm and teleported to the Opera Epiclese the next instant.

"Ah!" Furina jumped in surprise. Looking at the deserted roads under the night sky, she unconsciously hugged herself.

The outdoor temperature made Furina feel slightly chilly.

"So, what is it? Why did you suddenly drag me here?" Furina asked, looking up at him.

"Actually... I'm very sorry! I came too late. If only I'd arrived a little later..." Wu Wanghai clasped his hands together. For a game with real-time story updates, what one knew and understood differed depending on the stage at which one began.

"I've also learned more details about Fontaine's prophecy from Neuvillette," Wu Wanghai said. Then he added with certainty, "Although I still don't know why the people of Fontaine would dissolve into the sea, but..."

Wu Wanghai's voice became impassioned. "Great Hydro Archon, from now on, your path will no longer be lonely. Your loyal knight will always stand by your side... You and I both have goals we firmly believe in. Prophecies can be changed! Let me help you find a way to break it."

All he could do was use his meager foreknowledge of the plot to change the ending.

"You..." Furina's heart trembled slightly. Then her expression changed, and she put her hands on her hips, striking a lofty pose. "Mm, very good, very good. I'm quite pleased by your loyalty to me~ So, you learned about it from Neuvillette, didn't you? Then, do you want to investigate a way to break this prophecy with me?"

"It would be my honor, my Hydro Archon." Wu Wanghai placed his right hand over his chest and gave a less-than-standard gentleman's bow.

Furina accepted, happily narrowing her eyes. Then she opened them and asked, "So, do you have any leads on how to break the prophecy?"

"Mm..." Wu Wanghai thought hard, trying to recall every fragment he knew. Suddenly, the image of a certain person surfaced in his mind.

"Tartaglia Duck!"

"What was that? Some kind of duck?" Furina suddenly looked confused.

"Ah, that's the Fatui Harbinger, Childe. Tartaglia," Wu Wanghai explained.

"What inevitable connection could there be between them...?" Furina frowned, her cute brows knitting together. She truly could not imagine what Fontaine's prophecy had to do with the Fatui.

Wu Wanghai suddenly smiled, as though he had found the key. "When Childe was little, he once saw a huge whale in the sea!"

Furina held her head and pondered. "A huge whale??? If I remember correctly, that kind of creature has never been found in Fontaine's waters."

"Then it might have been in the Primordial Sea! Neuvillette said this planet once had a special sea, the Primordial Sea that nurtured life." Wu Wanghai raised a hand as he spoke.

Furina adjusted her hair with both hands, but she was still utterly clueless. Her thoughts had only become more chaotic.

Wu Wanghai understood that he knew too little as well, so he shook his head. "There's no need to rush this. We'll find a way eventually! Besides, our strength alone is still far too limited!"

Furina fell silent. Yet she had already planted informants throughout all of Teyvat and still had not found any good solution.

"We only need to wait~" Wu Wanghai said, thinking of that blonde little rascal.

Waiting again... Just when would it all end?! Furina had one more worry each day.

Perhaps her own power was insufficient too. After all, there was a saying: only the Heavenly Principles could not be opposed.

Wu Wanghai abruptly changed the subject. "So, come on, come on! Let's pull first!"

Using Furina as the center, he circled around her twice while doing a bonfire dance.

"Pfft~ What are you doing now?" Furina laughed at Wu Wanghai's antics.

"..." Wu Wanghai was speechless. This ten-pull had once again only given him a pity four-star purple item.

And what he got left him at a loss for words.

Obtained four-star item: One Mu of Spiritual Farmland (Plants grown on it would automatically mature completely after 72 hours, and would all be at least excellent quality.)

Obtained three-star item: Perfect-grade strawberry seeds.

Well, damn. Two items from one ten-pull were related to farming. The classic farming mode had arrived!

But he did not even play much inside the Serenitea Pot. And now this...

Was it telling him to get rich through farming? Then again, he only had a fixed amount of Mora right now. Once he spent it all, how was he supposed to earn more Mora?

"Emmm, Fufu, I want to buy a villa with a large stretch of open land around the Court of Fontaine. Do you have any recommendations?"

Furina's expression turned serious at Wu Wanghai's question.

Indeed, it was not ideal to keep having him stay in the small room normally used for receiving guests.

Though the Palais Mermonia certainly did not lack one small room.

Furina thought carefully for a while. Then, looking at the stars in the sky, sleepiness suddenly washed over her. "Mm, it's getting late! Come find me again tomorrow, and I'll settle the house for you."

"Alright then. Good night!"

"Mm, good night to you too."

The next day, Furina took Wu Wanghai around the Court of Fontaine, visiting several real estate agents. Furina shook her head at every one of them, unsatisfied.

Just as they were busying themselves around noon, a piece of news that shocked all of Fontaine was published in The Steambird.

This news completely stole the spotlight from Vacher's verdict, which should have occupied the front-page headline.

<Shocking! Inazuma's Raiden Shogun has issued the Sakoku Decree, and lightning covers the seas!>

<Terrifying! The Raiden Shogun ruthlessly issues the Vision Hunt Decree. Those who refuse to surrender their Visions will be beheaded!>

<Bloodshed on Ritou! Large numbers of refugees flee Inazuma!>

"Have you heard?" Citizen One.

"The Raiden Shogun..." Citizen Two.

"The Vision Hunt Decree..." Citizen Three.

"The never-ending thunderstorms!" Citizen Four.

Countless after-meal conversations continuously entered Wu Wanghai's mind.

Wu Wanghai, who was having lunch with Furina, could only go...

"Ah?"
