"Those children shouldn't have to suffer such treatment."
"Fontaine's Palais Mermonia."
Clorinde stood by the window, looking into the distance, and shook his head, saying, "Lady Furina, it's raining more and more frequently in Fontaine lately."
"Sigh…" Furina put down the small cake in his hand and looked out the window, "What troublesome fellows."
"For the gathering three days from now, everyone will be bringing their Dragon Sovereigns. If Focalors and I show up empty-handed, it would be too embarrassing."
Chapter 63: Skirk: You guys are going on an expedition to another world, but I'm pruning the garden?
A trope, a complete trope.
Five hundred years ago, under Focalors's coaxing, Neuvillette came to Fontaine, dragon and all, and diligently worked for five hundred years.
Five hundred years later, it was Focalors again, seizing upon Neuvillette's weakness, who began to try and persuade him to pledge allegiance to Celestia.
"Uh…"
"That Hydro Dragon Sovereign fellow still has a weakness."
Paimon covered his little head, his face full of "pity" for the Neuvillette of the Parallel Teyvat World.
"Indeed!"
Lumine was also dumbfounded.
As the Hydro Dragon Sovereign born in human form, Neuvillette, though an Elemental Dragon Lord, wasn't particularly interested in elemental creatures.
In Neuvillette's heart, the Melusine were an exceptionally fine existence.
Even his fellow Vishaps would transform into Melusine to seek Neuvillette's protection.
However, aren't Melusine, with their petite bodies, adorable appearance, and strong sense of responsibility, just like the Damselettes in the Gastrea World?
Focalors's move was simply brilliant.
Making Neuvillette see the suffering Damselettes in the Gastrea World would definitely make Neuvillette feel as if his heart was pierced by a thousand arrows.
Moreover, Focalors made it very clear that as long as people from worlds beyond Teyvat could obtain a Vision, they would also receive Su Bai's protection.
This clearly told Neuvillette that the poor girls in the Gastrea World would definitely receive Su Bai's protection.
After all, with their kind hearts and their selfless nature in saving humanity, it was impossible for them not to obtain a Vision.
The signal this sent to Neuvillette was that the main purpose of this expedition to the Gastrea World was to save these Damselettes living in a world of despair and suffering.
"I still remember that Neuvillette has never forgotten Carole, the Melusine from four hundred years ago, who committed suicide after being slandered by humans."
Paimon sighed.
Lumine nodded, "Yes, that guilt of not being able to save good beings has always been buried deep in Neuvillette's heart."
"This time, the Damselettes in the Gastrea World are many times more tragic than Carole was back then. Neuvillette must really want to save them personally."
Manipulation, absolute manipulation.
No matter how powerful the Hydro Dragon Sovereign Neuvillette was, he was still not as good as the former Archon Focalors.
She was indeed worthy of being the woman who dared to pull a switcheroo under the First Throne's order.
With just one move, she made Neuvillette, who wanted to leave Fontaine, anxious.
"But I always feel like things are too coincidental."
"Neuvillette was already thinking of leaving Fontaine, but then, suffering girls from the Gastrea World appeared along the way."
Paimon thought long and hard, feeling that things were still too strange.
"Eh!" Lumine was startled, "Could it be that all of this was arranged by the Fifth Descenders?"
"Yes, it must have been arranged by Su Bai."
"He must know Neuvillette's fondness for the Melusine, so he conveniently arranged for Nahida to lead all the Elemental Dragon Lords who possess a Vision to the Gastrea World."
"Aren't you, Neuvillette, aloof? Aren't you proud?"
"First, crush your pride with momentum, and then use the suffering Damselettes of the Gastrea World to strike at your aloofness."
"Indirectly telling Neuvillette, stop holding on to those useless feelings of superiority and justice."
"If you truly care for others, then let your actions speak for themselves. If you feel for those girls, then find a way to save them."
"Moreover, more than half of the Seven Dragon Sovereigns of Teyvat have already obtained a Vision. His continued clinging to the former glory of the dragon race is rather laughable."
"Eh!?" Paimon was so shocked that his entire body tilted backward.
Terrifying! Simply too terrifying.
Su Bai commanded Nahida to lead the Elemental Dragon Lords to the Gastrea World. The Elemental Dragon Lords could better clear out the Gastrea and more effectively mass-exterminate the creatures of the Gastrea World, creating a battlefield for him to clean up the underworld, and also using the Gastrea World to train Nahida, who had been trapped for five hundred years, allowing her to grow into a true Archon.
And, incidentally, also dealt with the most stubborn Elemental Dragon, Neuvillette.
"Ugh! Lumine…" Paimon, as if encountering something terrifying, clutched his head in fear, "The Fifth Descenders is too terrifying."
"What will happen to us in the Parallel Teyvat World?"
"We might be tricked by him if we're not careful."
Lumine: "Sigh… I don't know either…"
"Three days later, Celestia."
"Hahaha, I, the Electro Dragon Sovereign, am back~~."
"Finally, finally made it at the last minute. I've been noticed by Lord Su Bai, and I'm qualified to be his mount."
"Wuwuwu…"
A purple-haired Damselette laughed with her hands on her hips.
Suddenly, a clear, cold voice from behind startled her, "Watch your tone of voice."
"And Lord Su Bai has never mentioned needing a mount."
"Oh… Understood, Lady Beelzebul." The Electro Dragon Sovereign in Damselette form quickly hid behind Raiden Ei and followed her towards the departure plaza.
In the plaza, the other Archons had already arrived early.
The Electro Dragon Sovereign, ascending Celestia again, no longer felt the fear of being eaten from before.
After all, she knew that the Vision at her waist was a protective charm. As long as she didn't act out and do anything to defy Su Bai, Su Bai wouldn't punish her for no reason.
Of course, even with a hundred guts, she wouldn't possibly defy Su Bai.
"Hmm?"
A familiar aura made the Electro Dragon Sovereign pause. She curiously looked at the red-haired, short girl not far away.
Her pupils instantly widened, "Pyro… Pyro Dragon Sovereign Boss…"
"How did you end up looking like this?"
"You…"
The moment he saw the Electro Dragon Sovereign again, the Pyro Dragon Sovereign's mouth twitched awkwardly. He leaned over to the Electro Dragon Sovereign and mumbled, "Are you an idiot?"
"If you're going to transform, why transform into a Damselette?"
"Huh? Is there a problem with that?" The Electro Dragon Sovereign asked, puzzled.
The Electro Dragon Sovereign's silly and adorable appearance immediately rendered the Pyro Dragon Sovereign speechless.
Indeed, this foolish dragon hadn't changed much, even after returning to Inazuma for training.
Still as brainless as before.
"You're taller than Lady Nahida, you know?"
"As a subordinate, you can't overshadow your leader, don't you understand?"
Electro Dragon Sovereign: "???"
She looked around and only then realized that most of the figures with dragon-like auras were in the form of children.
Only she was taller than all of them.
Lisa: "Hahaha, you've really made me laugh. Are those really the Elemental Dragon Lords of the Parallel Teyvat World? They seem so endearing."
Dvalin: "Barbatos, that little child with green pigtails standing next to you, could that be me after transforming?"
Venti: "Hahaha, what an adorable Dvalin, it seems so."
Zhongli: "That blue-haired child with glasses standing next to me, could it be…"
Azhdaha: "…"
Still trying to hide your identity at a time like this?
That's enough, Morax.
Diluc: "It's truly unimaginable that the Pyro Dragon Sovereign transformed into a child because Lesser Lord Kusanali appears as a child."
Kaeya: "Looking at it this way, under Su Bai's leadership, the Seven Archons and Seven Dragon Sovereigns actually get along quite harmoniously."
"Wait, Pyro Dragon Sovereign…"
