Chapter 1255 A Strange Thing Came to the House
When Cetalli heard Shao Yun ask about her travel experience in Fontainebleau, she followed up the topic and said, "Oh, okay! You have no idea, I've seen so many new and interesting things since I came to Fontainebleau!"
She counted them one by one on her fingers.
"First of all, there's the rail patrol boat! It can run incredibly fast on the water and travel along tracks between ports and cities!"
"And there are also the Merroses unique to Fontainebleau. They all speak in soft, sweet voices and are so cute. I even took a picture with them!"
"By the way, Fontaine is incredibly prosperous. The entire city is built with white stone and brass, and it sparkles in the sunlight. There are even walking robots on the streets, which is amazing!"
Sylvia spoke with great enthusiasm, gesturing wildly as she imitated the appearance of the railroad ship and gesturing about Melusin's height, clearly deeply impressed by these new things.
She paused, then remembered something amusing and said with a smile, "Oh, and I met a young woman on the streets of Fontainebleau. At first, I thought she was the heroine of 'Miss Ossie's Case Files'!"
"Turns out I was mistaken and thought she was the second female lead in the 'Herlock' series! To be honest, all of Fontaine's clothes look pretty much the same to me, they're all those delicate little dresses, I can't tell them apart at all!"
When Shao Yun heard the phrase "a little sister dressed like the female lead in 'Miss Ossie's Case Files'", he vaguely felt that the description was somewhat familiar.
"Hmm, the person you're talking about, could it be..."
Ayaka Kamisato?
Before Shao Yun could finish muttering, Celestella recounted many of her novel experiences in Fontaine, which were generally good, but one thing made her very unhappy, so she poured out her grievances to Shao Yun.
"By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, I haven't told you yet, although Fontaine is fun, it also has some particularly annoying rules!"
Setrali sat on the flying cushion, arms crossed, and complained, "For the first three days of every month, we're not allowed to launch any flying objects!"
“I wanted to go out with a pillow for a few days, but I was stopped by the security team several times. They said something about ‘obeying flight control regulations’, so I had to walk on the ground.”
"Fontaine is so big, after a whole day of walking around, my legs are almost broken!"
As she spoke, she exaggeratedly rubbed her legs, as if she could still feel the soreness from back then.
Then, Sitaley pouted and added:
"However, I later learned from the local Melousin that as long as it can be proven that the 'flying object' belongs to a legal citizen of another country, such as Fontainebleau, this law does not apply."
"But my pillow is just an ordinary means of transportation, how can it be considered a 'lawful citizen'? In the end, it still has to obediently walk."
She paused, then seemed to remember something and scratched her head in confusion.
“I also heard from Melusin that this rule was changed later, apparently because of a conflict involving ‘racial discrimination’ that had occurred before.”
"It is said that some people have been treating citizens of other countries who rely on flight as 'non-human flying objects' for control, which has caused considerable controversy. In the end, the Supreme Court amended the law overnight, resulting in the current situation."
"Isn't it strange that a flight regulation is being linked to racial discrimination..."
Upon hearing the keywords "flying object," "supreme judge," and "amending the law," a past memory flashed through Shao Yun's mind.
That was when the group first met Frynn, when Frynn, in order to generate a large amount of legal compensation energy for the Cardinal of the Proclamation, mistook Paimon for a "flying object".
At the time, in order to vent his anger for Paimon, he directly accused Furness of "racism," which almost incited the entire population of Fontaine to "criticize" her.
Looking back now, those actions actually became the catalyst for Fontaine's amendment of the law.
"Is that so? It seems that Funina's actions back then unintentionally promoted the progress of Fontaine's laws."
Despite her complaints, what excited her most was seeing the filming location of Fontaine Film Studio! Baisong Film Studio! (Baisong Town)
"And also, I also went to Baisong Town. Miss Melissa 'Abel' on the patrol boat told me that Baisong Town has transformed from a fishing town into the filming location for Fontaine!"
As she spoke, she gestured excitedly.
“There were film sets set up everywhere, including streets that resembled those of Fontaine and scenes that simulated an underwater city. When I went there, there happened to be a film crew shooting a film.”
"There were many actors in costumes busy on set, as well as staff members (Xavier) with strange machines. I stood by and watched for a while, and it was even more interesting than watching the movie itself!"
Shao Yun listened to her vivid description and smiled along.
"That does sound quite interesting."
Setrali continued, "Oh, right, when I was traveling in Fontainebleau, I also met Miss Navia, the president of the Rose Society!"
"I was resting at a coffee shop (a newly built facility) in Baisong Town when she happened to be there, accompanied by two subordinates. She had a very commanding presence!"
Upon mentioning Navia, Citrali instantly became infatuated, cupping her face in her hands and saying with a blissful expression:
"That young lady is simply the epitome of a movie heroine! She has a tall and well-proportioned figure, wears beautiful clothes, walks with her head held high and chest out, and has an exceptionally good temperament—both elegant and capable!"
"When I first saw her, I thought she was a big star from some film crew, and I almost rushed up to her to ask for an autograph. It was only after her subordinate reminded me that I realized she was the president of the Rose Association!"
When Shao Yun heard the name "Navia", the first thing that came to mind was not the elegant appearance that Sitrali had described, but the scene of Navia being spanked by Clorind.
Clarinde was too rough with her hands and blushed bright red on the spot; just imagining the scene is enough to make one's face turn red.
He suppressed a laugh and echoed Sitrali's words, saying, "Navia is indeed quite special."
"The young lady of Fontainebleau, Paimon thought she was some traditional noble lady from Fontainebleau."
“Yes, yes, yes!” Cetalli nodded quickly in agreement.
"I heard about it later. Miss Navia is really amazing. Not only does she manage the Rose Society very well, but she also helps Fontaine solve a lot of problems. Many people in Fontaine admire her very much!"
"And she's a really nice person. I was so clumsy and made a mistake, but she still chatted with me for a bit with a smile. She wasn't pretentious at all!"
She got more and more excited as she talked, continuing on and on: "Oh, by the way, I also tried Fontainebleau's unique film-themed desserts. The cakes were shaped exactly like the props in the film, and they were both beautiful and delicious!"
(Aikofee: Absolutely!)
……
This relaxed and lively morning time has become a rare and pleasant moment during the herding journey.
Just as Shao Yun was chatting with Cetalari about the changes in Fontaine, an unexpected presence suddenly appeared on the ranch.
In the ranch's kitchen, Ningguang wiped the light sweat from her forehead after cleaning.
She doesn't need to deliver the milk today. Ever since she found a regular buyer in the Suspended Wood People tribe, the job of delivering milk has been handed over to Yuan Shang, who is better at physical labor.
Then, she picked up the bucket and walked towards the vegetable garden in the yard.
The vegetable sprouts she planted a few days ago have just started to emerge and need careful care. She plans to water them in the morning when the sun is not too strong.
Just as she picked up the bucket to water the plants, she caught a glimpse of a silver light flashing across the sky out of the corner of her eye.
The light was as fast as a shooting star, leaving a faint trail as it hurtled straight toward the pasture.
"What is that?" Ningguang subconsciously looked up and saw that the "meteor" was getting faster and faster, and there was even a sharp sonic boom in the air, obviously breaking the sound barrier.
Before she could react, with a loud "boom," the "meteor" crashed heavily into the open space of the ranch yard, instantly raising a cloud of dust. The grayish-white dust spread out like a giant wave, enveloping the entire ranch.
Smoke and dust accompanied by shockwaves. Ningguang felt a powerful force slam into her body, as if her internal organs had been displaced. The bucket in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, spilling water everywhere.
She coughed violently, choked by the smoke and dust, and tears welled up in her eyes. She could only cover her mouth and nose with her hands and barely open her eyes to look in the direction of the smoke and dust.
Meanwhile, in the nursery on the second floor, Shen He was playing with his seven- or eight-month-old baby, "Xi".
But a sudden loud noise shattered the coziness of the room. With a loud "boom," the whole house shook, and the windowpanes rattled.
The baby was so frightened that he shrank back and then burst into tears. His little face turned red, and his little hands gripped Shen He's clothes tightly.
Shen He quickly hugged the baby tightly, gently patting the baby's back with one hand, and gently rocking the baby in his arms while tenderly comforting him:
"Don't cry, don't cry, Shenhe's mom is here, baby, don't be afraid."
But the baby's crying wouldn't stop, and she could only continue to soothe him gently, her mind filled with doubt.
"What's going on outside? Is it thundering? But the sound is so loud..."
Ningguang outside finally caught her breath, and her coughing gradually subsided.
She stood up, leaning on the wooden fence beside her, and looked at the open space shrouded in smoke and dust, her brows furrowed tightly.
"What is that? Could it be an extreme sports enthusiast from the suspended log group? But the noise is way too much..."
There are indeed many adventurous young people in the Suspended Wood tribe who occasionally engage in extreme sports, but I've never heard of anyone making such a commotion.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a large crater could be vaguely seen in the open space.
The young people of the Suspended Wood People tribe, where Shao Yun's family lives, love to engage in thrilling extreme sports, and occasionally they accidentally fall.
But this is the first time I've ever seen someone fall directly into the pasture like this, even though they usually fall.
She recalled the earth-shattering roar and the billowing dust from just moments before, and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
With such a commotion, even something made of iron would be deformed from the impact, let alone a body of flesh and blood.
The chances of this person surviving are practically zero, almost the same as the chances of Paimon cheating on Ying and eating alone.
The further Ningguang walked, the more apprehensive she became.
She had even started imagining the scene at the bottom of the pit: a bloody mess of "flesh and blood," and maybe even broken bones...
Just thinking about it made her stomach churn. The fried egg and milk she ate that morning were swirling in her throat, and she was afraid that if she saw the contents of the container, she would throw it up on the spot.
