Chapter 762 The Whale Flying in the Sky
Inside the opera house, people gathered in a radial pattern from the VIP seating area on the second floor.
The actors on stage had stopped moving and stood there staring blankly in the direction of the crowd.
Xu Ning entered the opera house and knew what had happened at a glance.
On the second floor, in the VIP section, there was a special seat that Funina had set up for herself as the Water Goddess. She would always sit there, looking down from above, to enjoy the performances below.
But now, standing next to the priority seat, Funina looked like a small animal surrounded by countless hounds, helplessly trying to find a way to escape in the middle of the crowd.
"Lady Furina, is the prophecy true? Will we really dissolve in the rising flood?"
"Lord Water God, please save us! We don't want to leave Fontaine; my family and career are here..."
"My God, I offer you my entire faith. Please use your divine power to avert this disaster for us!"
"Lady Funinna, why aren't you speaking? Are you perhaps incapable of doing anything? Could you demonstrate your divine power or a miracle for us?"
People's emotions began to rise, and in Fulina's silence, pleas turned into doubt, and doubt into questioning.
If the situation continues to develop, I fear that questioning will turn into shouting, then besieging and then rioting.
Xu Ning leaned against the command machine, completely ignoring the strange look from an actor on stage, and tapped on the command machine.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch those giant babies from Fontaine gang up on Funina? You know she has absolutely no divine power. I suspect she can't even beat the puffy beasts on the beach. Are you sure you don't want to help her? Or is this exactly the result you want?"
There was no response from the issuing machine.
Meanwhile, Funina was so anxious she was about to cry.
The excited crowd blocked the stairs and the main entrance, making it impossible for her to squeeze through and escape.
Just as she was feeling lost, Funina suddenly heard a clear voice in her ear.
"It's going to thunder, cover your ears."
When Fu Ningna recognized Xu Ning's voice, she was overjoyed.
Although he didn't know what Xu Ning meant by thunder, he still tightly plugged his ears with his hands and slightly opened his mouth.
"Blasphemy!" "God!" "Great!" "Sin!"
It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded directly above everyone's heads, each word carrying the rumble of thunder, echoing throughout the opera house with its excellent acoustics.
Four thunderous booms resounded, and everyone in the opera house except Xu Ning and Fu Ningna had collapsed to the ground.
Some of the more timid or physically weaker individuals were even knocked unconscious by the shock, and a strange smell slowly spread through the air.
The one who started this thunder was naturally Xu Ning.
The thunderous force vibrates the air, creating a deafening roar, which is then amplified by a gentle breeze that carries the sound indiscriminately to everyone's ears, resulting in an effect similar to a stun grenade.
Xu Ning leaped up to the second floor and pulled the still somewhat dizzy Funina over, saying, "Something's not right here, let's go."
Fu Ningna was taken out of the opera house by Xu Ning against her will. After they left, when Xu Ning wanted to take Fu Ningna back to Mo Mang Palace, Fu Ningna casually pointed to the mountains to the east, clearly showing that she did not want to go back.
Xu Ning knew she was upset, so he didn't try to comfort her and instead pulled her up the mountain.
Fu Ningna was already panting after running only a few steps. Xu Ning glanced at her, reached out and hugged her, then unfurled his Wind Wings on his back. With a gentle push off the ground, the two of them suddenly soared into the sky, leaving the people following behind speechless for a long time.
Xu Ning glanced back at the group of people and realized that the farce at the opera house today was probably deliberately stirred up by someone to bring Fu Ningna down from her pedestal.
But what practical significance does doing this have, other than hurting the girl in his arms?
If the Water Goddess wanted to save Fontaine, she would probably do so without needing to beg her.
If she doesn't want to, even if she beats Funina into the mud, what difference will it make?
It's just unclear what Fryna was thinking, and what exactly was Fukaros, whom she had hidden away, doing.
Xu Ning glanced down at Funina and found that the girl was not bothered by what had just happened at all. Instead, she was full of excitement, looking around at the land, forest, and lake below, shaking her head like a rattle drum.
So what if both the road we came from and the road we return to are doomsday?
Let's be happy today, at least.
Xu Ning smiled and flapped his Wind Wings as he flew up the mountain.
"What's that... like a whale flying in the sky over there?"
The image of a whale flying in the sky immediately reminded Xu Ning of the great whale he was confronting in the primordial sea.
Curiosity piqued, Xu Ning turned his Wind Wings and slowly flew towards the whale's location.
As you get closer, you realize that this whale is actually shaped like an aircraft. The whale is depicted with its head raised in a flying posture, and its two huge fins are its wings. Below the whale, there is a small boat that can accommodate five or six people.
Even after their feet touched the ground, Funina's excitement did not diminish.
"I have dreamed of flying like this for a long time."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "If you'd like, we can fly back in a bit."
"Who? Who dreams of flying..."
Suddenly a male voice came from the bow of the small boat, and a man with messy hair and a dirty face poked his head out.
"Ah, you must be a friend who has heard of Anton Roger's great invention and come here to see my masterpiece."
"Anton Roger?"
Funina tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Aren't you that big idiot who was testing aircraft near Baisong Town...?"
"Hey, hey, hey, that's very rude of you. How can you just give people nicknames like that... I'm a proper wind-up mechanical engineer, hmm? Why do you look so familiar? Never mind, how about trying out the 'Anton Roger Aircraft'? Just like you said, soaring through the skies, humanity's most eternal dream!"
Seeing that the guy kept urging the two of them to get on the ship, Xu Ning whispered to Fu Ningna, "Is there something wrong with him? Why do you call him a big swindler?"
Fu Ningna chuckled, "I should be able to find out if I ask... Hey, you were clearly in Baisong Town, so why did you end up in these mountains?"
This question seemed to hit the guy hard. Anton scratched his head for a long time before stammering, "It's because... there were two... um... good friends who wanted to try it, but they didn't follow the instructions correctly..."
Hearing this, Xu Ning looked up at the fine scratches on the whale's bottom and asked, "So, are those two good friends still alive?"
