The Supreme Archbishop of Fontaine

"The map for Dragonspine is completely ready, with no issues."

"In that case, let's officially open Dragonspine in version 1.3."

"The reception for version 1.2 has been quite positive. Although we're still full of questions about Fischl's character design, at least this sudden addition by Kiana has turned out to be quite effective."

"Don't get too excited. Kiana handles the story without considering the future—she just goes with the flow. There's no guarantee she won't forget about Fischl later."

"Well, at least for now, everything's fine. Let's enjoy it while we can."

"Eden, how's the progress on the 'Divine Damsel of Devastation'?"

"Personally, I'm quite satisfied with it."

"That's good enough. If you're satisfied, then it must be fine."

"Robin, you've got another voice acting job. Put the Inazuma background music on hold for now—it's not urgent. Focus on recording the third episode of Reporting to Lady Furina—Water and Sky."

"Oh, got it."

Robin stretched and let out a soft yawn.

"Eden, I'll leave this to you. I'm off to do the voice acting."

"Sure, don't worry."

Robin walked into the specially built recording booth at miHoYo's headquarters. After taking a look around, she couldn't help but comment in Furina's voice: "The voice actor for my Supreme Bishop is really mysterious. It's been so long, and they still don't plan to show themselves?"

Seeing the headphones in the booth, she knew that the mysterious voice actor still had no intention of revealing themselves.

During the initial development of Genshin Impact, miHoYo faced many challenges, but thanks to the exceptional talents of the girls, all of them were perfectly resolved.

No matter how nitpicky Kiana was in her pursuit of perfection, the girls always managed to solve every problem with their expertise.

However, there was one problem that stumped everyone, and it seemed unsolvable.

That was the question of who should voice the Supreme Bishop.

This wasn't really related to Kiana's perfectionism—it was more that everyone was stumped.

Kiana was only responsible for designing the character of the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine and planning the related storylines.

But after seeing the storylines Kiana had planned and the character she had designed... everyone was stuck on the issue of the voice actor.

It didn't fit.

It didn't fit.

It didn't fit.

For some reason, no matter which voice actor they tried, it just didn't feel right to the girls.

This was the only time when Kiana's comment of "It doesn't have the feeling I want" resonated with everyone.

No matter which voice actor they tried, it didn't match the feeling the girls were looking for.

However, if you asked the girls what kind of feeling they wanted the voice actor to convey, they couldn't put it into words.

But even though they couldn't describe it, they knew they wanted that feeling.

Everyone agreed on this point.

Even after searching the entire industry, they couldn't find anyone suitable. This problem completely stumped everyone.

Then, a mysterious audio file arrived at the company.

"What are you standing around for? Go and protect Lady Furina."

That was the only line in the audio.

But that one line made everyone who heard it widen their eyes in shock.

This was it!!

The moment they heard it, they felt a jolt in their hearts and knew—this was the exact feeling they wanted for the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine.

The voice was calm and unremarkable, but it carried an overwhelming sense of pressure that made your heart nearly stop—that was the feeling they were looking for.

So, Mei, who was in charge of the matter at the time, immediately contacted the sender using the information attached to the package. However, she found that the other party had no intention of revealing themselves. After some negotiation, they agreed that if they wanted the Supreme Bishop's voice, they would just send the script over.

Although there were some concerns about this method of collaboration, it was impossible to find anyone more suitable, so they agreed to it.

And so...

Just like now, Robin picked up the headphones and put them on her right ear.

Holding the script Kiana had given her, Robin read through it once, then said, "Ready."

Kiana nodded. "Then let's begin."

And so, Robin began.

In Furina's voice, she spoke with an elegant tone and a light laugh: "My dear Supreme Bishop, would you reconsider the matter of Astrea?"

A calm voice came through the headphones: "There's nothing to reconsider. The laws of Fontaine cannot be violated. If you, Lady Furina, allow someone who has broken the law to avoid standing trial, then can I also name my pet 'Furina' again?"

Robin immediately switched to a gritted-teeth tone: "Naming a pet 'Furina' is a crime of disrespect, punishable by at least ten years in prison. Think carefully about whether you really want to do that."

"Just naming a pet can be a crime of disrespect, yet Astrea has now directly ignored you, Lady Furina, by resigning from her position—and not just any position, but your personal guardian knight. She didn't even inform you before making such a declaration in front of a foreign god, completely undermining your dignity. Isn't that a crime of disrespect?"

"Uh... well... given the urgency of the situation, it's understandable..."

"What urgency? The danger was in Liyue, and it was Liyue's Geo Archon who stood in her way. Even the Geo Archon himself wasn't in a hurry, so why should she be? Rushing to deal with something a foreign god isn't even concerned about, while embarrassing her own nation's god—this isn't just a crime of disrespect. I suspect she has already committed treason, intending to defect from Fontaine and join Liyue. As the First Knight of the Holy Knights, she holds countless secrets. To make such a declaration of resignation in another country while carrying those secrets—isn't that treason? Lady Furina, if you continue to defend her, I might even suspect that she was acting under your orders to defect with those secrets—according to Fontaine's laws, even a god cannot betray national interests."

"Uh... huh? What... what do you mean? I... I don't want to argue about this right now. We'll discuss it in court."

"Very well, Lady Furina. No need to rush—the trial is still three years away. You have plenty of time to prepare your arguments."

"Ahem, anyway, what I wanted to say is this: if Astrea is convicted, what about Themis? They share one body with two souls. Are you going to lock up Themis as well? No matter what, Themis is innocent."

"As for Themis... if she's willing, of course she won't be arrested."

The calm voice from the headphones spoke plainly:

"However, if she refuses to separate from Astrea, then that's her own problem."
