Chapter 754 is categorized as a major villain.
The memory ends abruptly here.
"Well? Have you seen enough? If not, I can continue playing, or you can choose to rewind to the part where they're distributing the items..."
Xu Ning waved his hand to dispel the fragments of memory before him. "No need, this is enough."
Even Rhinedolt appeared in his predecessor's memories, and they seemed so familiar with each other. If he continued reading these memories, he might as well switch sides!
Who is Rheindorf?
Xu Ning still doesn't understand what her purpose was in creating the "Black Tide" back then, but Xu Ning once talked to Belial about the "evil dragon Durin" that flew towards Mondstadt.
According to Belial, Dúrin did not carry any mission related to death and destruction, nor did it have any purpose. The dragon simply liked the winds of Mondstadt and the dragon that flew freely in the wind.
However, the immense harm Teyvat suffered as a result is an undeniable fact, and the lingering effects of that time still harm some people today.
If your predecessor mingled with them, wouldn't that make you a villain?
Although he didn't know who "Little Su" was, Xu Ning felt that among those people, there must be the "Hanged Man," who was Dain's brother, Viserfenir, whom he and Kong had seen in the illusion.
After all, Krodal Jarbrić had said in the illusion that his predecessor was always accompanied by kings and sages when he was in Kanria. If those people just now were all Kanria people of the same level as Rhinedoth, then the worst of them would be sages.
His predecessor, the guy whom even the founder of the Abyss Order revered as "Saigong," was almost classified as a major villain. It was no wonder that our Emperor killed him with a single blow back then.
As a newbie reincarnated, I was so grateful that the Emperor didn't kill me when he saw me, and even gave me the Heart of God to brew wine for me. I really have to thank the Emperor for his kindness. I can never walk the old path again in this life.
But... it seems that the little whale has come back looking for itself, so we need to think of a way to settle it down.
Moreover, it is currently confronting the young master in the primordial sea of fetuses. Even for the sake of the young master's life, this problem must be solved.
The next morning, Xu Ning had a quick breakfast at the Dust-Hidden Cave and then leisurely headed out of the Debo Hotel toward the Steambird Newspaper Office.
Walking down the street, Xu Ning could clearly feel an invisible tension permeating the air. Everyone on the street had lost their smiles, and their eyes seemed to be asking, "Have you heard? It seems to be true!"
However, when they arrived at the Steambird Newspaper Office, they found that the atmosphere there was completely different.
The entire newspaper office was bustling with activity; everyone seemed to be in a hurry and busy.
Xu Ning went directly to Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu and joked, "Why are you so busy? Is Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu planning to create another big news story like she did a few days ago?"
When the editor-in-chief of Ou Fu heard this, she almost laughed out of anger. How dare you say such a thing?
Editor-in-Chief Ove believed that, apart from Charlotte's father, she herself knew Charlotte's abilities better than anyone else.
Although we occasionally uncover some big news, it will never be as exaggerated as last time, which almost led to us having to sell the monthly magazine for the day.
The most likely reason is that Charlotte received some help from this guy.
"You have the nerve to say that? If I hadn't stopped her, do you think that little girl wouldn't have dared to do it? Even though I set the articles she sent to be accepted only once every ten days, those extremely sensational news stories still kept coming in."
"Moreover, these things will undoubtedly still cause a great shock to the Fontaine authorities. I don't care how you used any supernatural powers to help Charlotte, please take them back. Otherwise, given that little girl's temperament, she'll probably cause a big disaster sooner or later."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "I came here today precisely to resolve this issue. Where is Charlotte?"
Editor-in-Chief Ou breathed a slight sigh of relief and pointed in the direction of Harbor. "She went to pick up a writer early this morning. She should be back soon. If you're not busy, you can wait for her here for a while."
Xu Ning wasn't in a hurry. He casually found an empty chair and sat down, drinking his wine while listening to the information gleaned from snippets of conversation by other employees.
As the Fontaine prophecy spread wider and became more and more credible, the Steambird newspaper launched a symposium, inviting prominent figures from all walks of life to analyze the recently popular prophecy, seemingly hoping to find a solution to save the country from it as well.
Charlotte went to greet an astrologer who had been invited to the symposium. She was said to be a long-time contributor to the "Astrology Talk" column of the Steambird newspaper and was a highly authoritative astrology expert with a large following in Fontainebleau's astrology circle.
"...No matter what, this is too reckless. Even we astrologers wouldn't dare to see too much of the truth at once, let alone that many secrets could put you in danger. Also, you're going to have to cover all the food and lodging for this trip..."
A girl's voice rang out from outside the door, and Xu Ning then heard Charlotte's response.
"Hey? Mona, you've spent all your Mora again? I just sent you some a while ago..."
The girl named Mona sounded visibly embarrassed.
"Hey, what do you mean 'spent it all'... It's all because of this symposium. I accidentally bought some extra ancient books related to it, and this is punishment, you know? It's all because you forcibly occupied all the sections of the Steambird Newspaper, causing my articles to expire and resulting in a huge loss of royalties, so I have to ask you to treat me..."
The two girls walked into the newspaper office, bickering noisily. Charlotte spotted Xu Ning at a glance and unconsciously touched Mr. Wen Hengting on her waist, looking rather reluctant to part with him.
Fortunately, he didn't turn around and run away like someone trying to escape debts, which put Xu Ning at ease.
"I've never felt time fly by so fast..."
Charlotte chuckled, removed the lens from Mr. Wen Hengting's lens, handed it to Xu Ning, and then replaced it with the original lens.
The astrologer named Mona, standing next to Charlotte, was looking at Xu Ning with great interest.
Upon seeing the gourd in his hand, he suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xu Ning, one of the two honorary knights of Mondstadt?"
Xu Ning was surprised to hear such an ancient name here. He chuckled and asked, "Yes, you've heard of my name? Are you from Mondstadt?"
