Chapter 227 Paimon Must Keep It Secret
Therefore, Paimon also became curious about Finina's situation.
After getting Furninna's permission, Gu Chen looked at Paimeng with a smile again:
"Paimon, let me tell you the truth.
On the surface, Funina is the water goddess of Fontaine.
Actually, she is not.”
This statement was a bit incoherent and completely confused Paimon.
She covered her forehead with her hands, her head full of question marks:
"What do you mean by ostensibly yes, but actually no?"
Next, Gu Chen explained to Paimeng everything about Funina's past and situation.
After hearing this, Paimon's eyes widened.
When she fully understood, the look she gave Furninna became one of shock and respect.
The reason for such shock and respect, of course, is that Finina, with her human body and spirit, has been portraying the water god for five hundred years!
During this period, the pain she suffered and the sacrifices she made for Fontaine were simply unimaginable.
Originally, Paimon was a little unhappy with Finina's sudden appearance.
But now, after Paimon understood Finina, similar emotions disappeared completely!
She stared at Fernina like this:
“Surprisingly… that’s what happened.
You... although you are not the Water God, I think you are greater than the real gods!"
Being praised so directly by Paimon, Finina felt a little embarrassed. She waved her hand:
“Where there.
I was forced to do this because I really didn't want to see Fontaine destroyed, so I had no choice but to continue performing."
Paimeng shook his head and sighed:
“This isn’t a matter of necessity, it’s…
In short, I can't describe it.
In short, you have given so much to Fontaine, I really admire you!"
Looking at Paimeng like this, Gu Chen felt very relieved.
He knew that Paimon was a considerate little guy.
He knew that after Paimon learned about Finina's past, he would definitely have great admiration and sympathy for Finina.
After understanding each other, both sides can live in peace.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen spoke:
"After a long period of continuous interpretation of the water goddess, Furninna's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and it could even be said that her mind had already collapsed.
However, during these five hundred years of interpretation, she kept looking for ways to resolve the crisis of the prophecy, but was disappointed every time and saw no turning point.
As time went by, she was overwhelmed by disappointment and could no longer bear it.
It was also a matter of chance.
A long time ago, my consciousness spread out in my sleep, reached Fontaine through the water veins, came into contact with Funina's dream, and got to know her in the dream.
Because I knew my destiny, I was well aware of Funina's painful past.
At the same time, because I am an Adventer, my information is not recorded in the earth veins and the world tree, which can ensure that this secret is not leaked.
So, I acted as Funina's confidant.
Funina, who was almost unable to hold on at the time, also urgently needed someone like me to talk to.
So, from then until now, we have met in dreams from time to time, talked to each other and spent time together in dreams from time to time."
Having said that, Gu Chen looked at Funina with a smile on his face:
"I'm not bragging, but I am still somewhat useful as a confidant.
As they confide in each other, as they spend time with each other, as they meet in dreams again and again.
We became more and more familiar with each other and soon became close friends.
It’s a pity that my friendship with Funina only lasts in dreams and we have never met in real life.
A few days ago, I gained new spatial abilities, which allow me to travel freely around the world through golden space gates.
In addition, Funina has been busy with important matters in Fontaine during this period, and I am a little worried about her.
So, this morning I simply opened a golden space door and went directly to find Funina from here.
After a busy day, Funina's affairs were perfectly resolved and she was free.
Since I had the time and was in the mood, I stole Funina from Fontaine and specially invited her to visit us.
Paimon, that's what happened."
After listening to Gu Chen's entire explanation, Paimeng nodded, indicating that he understood everything:
“So that’s what happened…
I was wondering, Gu Chen, how could you make friends with such a water god behind my back?
It turns out that you have been secretly meeting in your dreams all along, and only met officially today!
Hmm...how do I put it...
I still feel a little uneasy. After all, Gu Chen, you have kept this matter from me for so long!
But it’s not your and Funina’s fault.
After all, the relationship between the two of you who met in your dream cannot be known by others.
And Furninna's true identity and her past as the Water Goddess must never be revealed!"
After hearing what Paimeng said, Gu Chen almost shouted "Long live understanding":
"So, that's why I never told you, Paimon.
I didn't tell you these things until today when Funina came to visit our house and until you actually met Funina.
Also, Paimon.
This is a serious matter, and you must keep Funina's situation confidential. You must not reveal her past, understand?"
When he said this, Gu Chen's expression was quite serious, and Paimeng nodded:
"I understand, I understand."
But after nodding, Paimon showed a wave of obvious worry:
"Well...I'm quite confident in keeping secrets.
As long as it is such a serious matter, I will never let anything slip and I will never reveal the truth.
But, Gu Chen.
I am different from you.
I am not an Adventer, I am also a member of the continent of Teyvat. The information about the ley lines and the World Tree must also record my relevant situation.
Now that you've told me something so important, what if I accidentally leak this information to the ley lines or the World Tree?
Once it is leaked, Funina's identity will be exposed, and then everything in Fontaine will be over!
Oh, you might as well not tell me..."
At the end of his speech, Paimeng shook his head and was obviously a little regretful.
Seeing this, Gu Chen smiled and waved his hand:
“It’s okay, Paimon, don’t underestimate yourself.
The matter of Funina had to be kept secret from the vast majority of people, and the higher-ups had to be deceived... well, it was the law of nature.
But fortunately, the Heavenly Law has been dormant in recent years, so it is not difficult to deceive Him.
In short, as long as the overall situation of Funina is not leaked, it will be fine.
If only a few people knew about it, it wouldn’t be a big problem.”
What Gu Chen said was really a bit ambiguous, and Paimon and Funina were both full of questions.
Fu Nina had been sitting quietly beside Gu Chen, but now she couldn't help herself:
“Cheating… justice?
I thought that my interpretation of the god would only require me to deceive the people of Fontaine, but I didn't expect that it would involve such a formidable existence!
Also, you said that if only a few people knew about it, it wouldn't be a big deal. Is that really the case?"
