On the screen,
Seeing the savage expressions of the people standing on the stage, Navia shrank back a few steps.
When Silver and Melus saw this, they spread their arms and shielded her behind them. "Miss, don't be afraid. If they want to hurt you, they'll have to get past us first."
The people on the stage were still laughing as though crazed, then shouted angrily,
"Why won't Navia plead guilty? Why don't you take a look at how many of us there are? In Fontaine, here, justice rests in the hands of the majority. We're the ones who are right! What right do you have to object?"
"We're the ones who are right! Make Navia plead guilty already!"
Riliane: "Silver, Melus, you're clearly two of us, yet you dare betray us! You even dare call yourselves just! Navia is one of us from Poisson. He is one of us!"
Navia: "You...? This..."
Before Navia could finish speaking,
She saw the bodies of everyone on the stage begin to swell, then undergo a bizarre transformation.
They were no longer human, but creatures as pure as water, like spirits.
[Yoimiya: What kind of horror novel is this? Why did these people suddenly turn into that?]
[Hu Tao: Is this what ghosts look like in Fontaine?]
[Zhongli: You're certainly humorous, Director!]
[Wriothesley: No, these aren't ghosts. They're Oceanids!]
[Arataki Itto: What's that? As far as I remember, aren't spirits always pure and kind? Why do the ones in here look so, so evil?]
[Tartaglia: Is this some novel technique people in Fontaine use? Suddenly transforming into Oceanids in battle to boost their combat strength!]
[Rosalyne: And you still deny it when people say all you have in that head is fighting!]
[Wriothesley: I'm not sure exactly what's going on either, but it's certainly not what this Mr. Tartaglia said!]
[Sigewinne: Everyone can keep guessing, too. With all of Teyvat working together, we might just discover the truth!]
[Ganyu: With so many Oceanids, if Miss Navia doesn't quickly find a way out of this predicament, I'm afraid she'll never come back.]
[Amber: Hurry and think of something, Miss Navia!]
[Silver and Melus: What am I still doing in the video? Hurry up and move!]
In the video, the Oceanids gradually closed in, flanking Navia, and she could only keep retreating.
She was about to be backed against the wall, and everyone's hearts had risen into their throats.
"Silence!"
Neuvillette's voice rang out. It was not loud, but it carried with tremendous force. At his voice, the entire scene instantly fell silent, and all the Oceanids returned to the audience seats in an instant.
Neuvillette stood on the high platform, scepter in hand, looking down at everyone below.
Navia was naturally familiar with this voice. After seeing Neuvillette, her overwhelming anxiety instantly settled, and only one thought remained in her mind: I'm saved!
[Wriothesley: Monsieur Neuvillette is here!]
[Silver: With Monsieur Neuvillette here, Miss Navia will definitely be all right.]
[Melus: Seeing Monsieur Neuvillette instantly put me at ease. I think I could even brew myself a cup of tea now!]
[Furina: Neuvillette, you arrived just in time. I suppose I'll deign to praise you!]
[Sigewinne: Monsieur Neuvillette really makes you feel so safe!]
[Hu Tao: So this is Neuvillette? He does look composed, and just looking at him puts you at ease. But Zhongli, you're like that too, you know. I don't know about anyone else, but as long as you're beside me, I feel very confident too!]
[Zhongli: Thank you for the compliment, Director.]
[Beidou: That presence, that bearing-is he really not Fontaine's Hydro Archon? Just standing there, he keeps anyone from daring to move. Surely this is what a god's imposing presence feels like!]
[Venti: I think so too! He's so dependable!]
[Furina: Come on, come on, have you all got this wrong? Neuvillette is my subordinate. If even he can handle something, why would I possibly need to deal with it myself?]
[Noelle: One day, Noelle will become a knight who puts people at ease like that too!]
[Amber: You definitely will, Noelle. Keep it up!]
[Kujou Sara: I see a reflection of the Shogun in him!]
[Lyney: That makes sense. I still believe in Lady Furina!]
Only with Neuvillette's arrival was the trial truly complete.
Neuvillette lightly tapped his scepter, then said, "Loud disturbances are absolutely forbidden here! Your conduct just now showed no respect whatsoever for this trial. Today's trial ends here. No one may object!"
Silver let out a breath of relief. "Thank you so much!"
Neuvillette nodded. "There isn't much time, Miss Navia. I'll take you out of here!"
Noticing Navia's hesitation, Melus urged her, "Hurry, Miss. Don't worry about Silver and me. As long as you can return safely! If you can't bear to leave us, then..."
Silver: "Melus, what are you saying?"
Melus smiled. "Hahaha, just joking. This should be our last meeting. Miss, don't miss us once you're over there!"
Navia: "...What are you saying! I'll never forget you..."
Neuvillette: "Please hurry, Miss Navia!"
Silver waved. "Miss, take care!"
Melus: "Take care! Look after yourself!"
As Navia went out, she took one last look and found that Melus and Silver had vanished from where they stood, leaving only two Oceanids. In the blink of an eye, they turned back into the two men's original forms!
Then everything went black.
"No... Melus, Silver, no..."
Navia woke with a start from the scene she had just been in!
Seeing what the two butlers had done, those watching the video could no longer hold back.
[Dunyarzad: Sob, sob, this really makes me cry! It's so moving!]
[Dehya: Mercenaries shed blood, not tears, but I really can't hold them back!]
[Yelan: It seems that everyone dissolved in the Primordial Sea became part of it. For some unknown reason, Navia's consciousness didn't immediately dissipate, so those people set a trap, trying to keep her there!]
[Paimon: Lumine, I really want to cry! Waaah-]
