Yeah when I first saw that was the in the 2nd phase I laughed because I recalled this part hahaha. Poor Zhongli. I do hope these 2 do meet at some point. Just now was NOT a good time, especially after reading Neuvillette's lines about Zhongli lol.
Honestly, I was lowkey scared that Zhongli and Neuv was gonna interact, even though I desperately wanted to see that. I honestly don't know what or how to feel about the situation.
OMG SAME! Hearing Neuvillette's voice lines about how "Nothing will stop me from rendering judgement on each of the seven" sounds almost threatening in nature. And with Zhongli likely needing to remain Rex "Incognito" (yes, that was a pun) until the end of the Tsarita's plan, based on his contract with her, I'm sure he doesn't want to make waves with Neuvillette right now.
@@MurderofBirdsImpactBut we don't know what kind of contract Zhongli made with Tsaritsa. The fact that he wants to retire and live as a human being is his desire, not contact with Tsaritsa.
I'm glad to see Furina interact with Hutao. Hoping to see both of them more They set up marketing trap in act 1 and in act 4, more characters fall for it Zhongli purposely avoid Neuvillette and "is that so?"
39:18 I don't know if you realized later that this bet was what they made in act 4 about Neuvillette's entourage to the Fortress when Primordial Sea broke out😄
I loved this part it was awesome. Yeah I don't blame Zhongli for avoiding Neuvillette. I think the only Archon who is the 'safest' for Neuvillette to meet atm is Nahida since his voice line for her is the 'gentlest'.
OMG just as I sat down and looking for what to watch during dinner. Thank you MOB, O lord of the Lore. Been enjoying the Murder of Podcast bits way too much. And the twin dragon mela about to begin!!!
Both Venti and Zhongli have interacted with two other Archons during the game's run time. Venti to Ei and Zhongli. Zhongli to Venti and Furina. We'll see who will get the number to three first. :v
1:31:19 the editor using the cooking minigame music here is perfect XD. The game used it so much during 4.4 for all the comedic shenanigans, so it was a great fit.
30:11 One thing I remembered while watching this section of the episode: I started playing the game on december, and right away did this Lantern Rite (I had just started Liyue by that point). So there was me, doing this part of the quest, and all of the Fontaine characters appeared, and one in particular (Furina) caught my attention even though I haven't even got close to the Fontain AQ. I sent a message to my friend (she was the one who introduced me to Genshin), and in the middle of our chat, I said "Hey, I really liked this event, I just don't understand why you said Furina made you cry so much, she seems so energetic and innocent, doesn't seem like anything bad happened to her". She simply typed back "Just wait and see for yourself". Fast forward to 4 months later to me balling my eyes out because of her. Blissful ignorance, as they say.
True, but I'm so glad it happened. I cannot wait for the inevitable day that Natlan characters can finally leave their nation after we've dealt with the abyss so they can meet other characters in other nations!!!
Zhongli dodging Neuvillette was so funny to me when I played through this act. I think this Lantern Rite will have been one of the most memorable ones - alongside the previous one, with Zhongli and Venti clowning around^^
53:30 You know what, I could totally see a sweet Halloween-like event coming back next year for Snezhnaya. I'm sure Teucer would be over the moon to have us chaperone him again for a night on the town. Oh, were it so.
1:02:46 This is pretty interesting but I wonder if Furina is right about Neuvillette’s age or is just misremembering. I always thought it made more sense he was reborn 500 years ago when Egeria died considering she was created by the Shade of Life to replace the Hydro Dragon as the heart of the Primordial Sea (I also headcanon that the reason Neuvillette was born in human form is due to his “divine counterpart’s” influence) but if he really is actually thousands of years old, then what was bro doing for all that time, maybe he really was just swimming and drinking water and that’s why he’s such a connoisseur😂
A strange headcanon considering that we already know the canonical reason why he has been reborn into a human form since the time of Enkonomya. And yes, nothing said that the replacement of the heart did not allow the hydro dragon to be reborn, it only stole all his power, everything else suggests that Neuvillette lived for a long time traveling the world and waters rarely contacting people because he wasn't interested in them, until he was invited by Focalors to Opera Epicles to find the meaning of his life.
@ I’m well aware of the prophecy from Enkanomiya but it never really gave us a reason *why* the hydro dragon was reborn human. Idk I was just going off the Fontaine glider lore as well considering Egeria “replaced” Neuvillette another way Celestia repressed the dragons, but yeah it’s possible Neuvillette has lived much longer never said I was right just my two cents on it 🤷
@@walnut2446 It gave us a reason why he didn't reborn into a dragon: «(Dragonheirs of the Depths have evolved to wield the power of other elements and have hence lost their purity. As such, the Dragon of Water will no longer be born from among their ranks.)» But yes, we were not given the exact reason why he was reborn into a human form of all creatures, we can assume that he was reborn into a human because this world has now become a human realm, so if he cannot be reborn into his own the original appearance, then he will be reborn into the default appearance after the change of the world, which is now the human appearance.
Pantalone...the chad for saying half a day day off isnt enough...the voice of the people in capitalism... Also traveler throwing paimon under the bus 😂😂😂
That depends on whether there are random encounter areas for our tepetlisaur companion like the base Natlan had. If there are, I'll need to give the mods a few days to track down all of those locations ahead of time, which will allow viewers to play ahead of me since I'll likely wanna explore the new regional areas alongside playing the new Interlude quest. And with Friday being the HSR 2.7 Special Program, Saturday is looking pretty likely.
I have to send Mihoyo a suggestion every once in a while asking them to add Furina to more story content. I love her so and want to see her journey in her life of freedom!
mint is disgusting? you have sullied my honor good sir. XXD edit 1: Hu Tao being friends with 3 archons. . . archons who have experienced or feigned death??? hmmmmm edit 2: lmao the legal codex joke was from the halfway point of the fontaine archon quest, i like how they still brought that back. . . but we don't talk about the magic pockets. XXD
Caitlin Jenkins Pryo ♟️🎴🃏💚💛💜💚💙❤️📖⭐🌟✨: My 6 Archon Cruise Venti The Anemo Archon Zhongli The Geo Archon Raiden Shogun The Electro Archon Nahida The Dendro Archon Furina The Hydro Archon And Mavuika The Pyro Archon.
To this day, I still can't believe that Neuvillette really went out all the way to Liyue, got scammed into buying 10 boxes of tea, & then giving away ALL 10 of them to Wriothesley like dude really out here casually enabling my bro's tea addiction lmaoo😭😭😭 Like- don't get me wrong, that's really sweet of Neuvillette, but all 10 of them? Really? Not even gonna share some of them to others just like what Xianyun did? :'D Also, the part when Zhongli was being obvious that he avoided Neuvillette, that part makes me wonder if Neuvillette knows what this Morax guy looks like🤔 (oh & i have this headcanon about what if the reason why Zhongli avoided Neuvillette was actually not bc he's a Sovereign, but bc Neuvillette is a sea creature & bro smells like a fish🙃)
Cloud Retainer, Furina, and Neuvillette. All fell for the marketing scheme. Pretty sure Zhongli would've taken the bait as well. Come to think of it, Ei and Venti are pretty bad at handling money too... I'm seeing a pattern...
@@MilD_Voices Nah, Venti would probably scam a seller by offering an apple or a ballad in exchange for goods, just like he does in Mondstadt, since he’s jobless and has no money at all. As for Ei, it’s unlikely a seller would dare charge her if they recognized her. And if they didn’t know her, she wouldn’t have the money to buy anything anyway.
Don't worry; I did eventually nab that chest. I mostly left Qiaoying Village unaffected during Lantern Rite because I wanted to give it the proper exploration time when I officially started the Chenyu Vale quest, so that's why it was still there lol.
I still can't picture Neuvillette having an issue with Zhongli. I mean I get the whole Sovereign/Archon dispute, and if we were talking about Apep I would totally agree, but Neuvillette is so nice that I can't see him having a problem with Zhongli(or Nahida for that matter). After all, Zhongli is always so nice and polite, not to mention he has stepped down from Archon.
Zhongli's bombastic side eye always gets me 😭 He don't want that smoke
Bro can't go to jail yet. The Tsarita comes out next year haha. He needs to cash in on that NDA!
That man Neuvillete can shoot water cannon huh... I better keep my ass in this office or I'm finished!!!
-Zhongli
Irony is 5.2 banners phase 2 is literally Zhongli "locked in the room" with Neuvillette. 😂 RUN ZHONGLI!!!
"I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!" Neuvillete to Zhongli
Yeah when I first saw that was the in the 2nd phase I laughed because I recalled this part hahaha. Poor Zhongli. I do hope these 2 do meet at some point. Just now was NOT a good time, especially after reading Neuvillette's lines about Zhongli lol.
@Zodia195 Now which archon will rerun with Neuvillette next? Lol 😆 🤣
ig he really wants to meet Zhongli 😂
Only time Zhongli was ever seen dodging instead of shielding, when Neuvillette was in Liyue.
I love how this vid came out just before the patch where Neuvillette and Zhongli will “meet” 🤭
The ghostwriting playthrough strikes again haha
lol I was about to comment something like that too
“Is that so?”
“Indeed, it is as you have guessed.”
The edit of the "water comes in many flavors..." line will never be unfunny. That shit makes me laugh every single time 😂
immaculate timing arnold strikes again (how does he keep doing this)
The Zhongli/Neuvillette banner in Version 5.2 is gonna be WILD
Honestly, I was lowkey scared that Zhongli and Neuv was gonna interact, even though I desperately wanted to see that. I honestly don't know what or how to feel about the situation.
OMG SAME! Hearing Neuvillette's voice lines about how "Nothing will stop me from rendering judgement on each of the seven" sounds almost threatening in nature.

Clorinde is so funny without even trying. 😂 She has no idea she roasted her boss and Cloud Retainer with that marketing trap line.
I'm glad to see Furina interact with Hutao. Hoping to see both of them more
They set up marketing trap in act 1 and in act 4, more characters fall for it
Zhongli purposely avoid Neuvillette and "is that so?"
Bro DEFINITELY knows who Neuvillette is haha
The unsung hero of this Lantern Rite was the Scam running joke lol
1:05:49 wild how you said this before they released "the road not taken" trailer. The ghostwriter allegations continues
HYV is gonna have a fun time explaining all of these "coincidences" in court!
This quest is what spurred on multiple artists when the 5.2 banners were dropped to draw Zhongli being chased by an enraged Neuvillette
39:18 I don't know if you realized later that this bet was what they made in act 4 about Neuvillette's entourage to the Fortress when Primordial Sea broke out😄

Bro wanted no smoke & tried to avoid the feds on New Years, I respect that.
The way this time capsule always somehow has to do with current Genshin happenings is so fun
Both Venti and Zhongli have interacted with two other Archons during the game's run time.
Venti to Ei and Zhongli.
Zhongli to Venti and Furina.
We'll see who will get the number to three first. :v
I think if they talked things out zhongli and neuvillette would get along well. There so alike
When *tell it to the judge* intensifies
I couldn't agree more, my thoughts exactly!
I loved aether pointing at paimon to throw her under the bus 😂😂😂

It's freaking funny this got posted to the public now... the 5.2 double dragon banners... XD
Seeing fontainian in lantern rite was so unexpected
True, but I'm so glad it happened. I cannot wait for the inevitable day that Natlan characters can finally leave their nation after we've dealt with the abyss so they can meet other characters in other nations!!!
Furina The Hydro Archon, come with me you're coming with us.
Zhongli dodging Neuvillette was so funny to me when I played through this act. I think this Lantern Rite will have been one of the most memorable ones - alongside the previous one, with Zhongli and Venti clowning around^^
Honestly Zhongli not meeting Neuvilette was for the better. Do you really want to hear these two talk about water for 6 hours straight.
Yes. Yes, I do.
Local Geo archon (in disguise) avoids getting clapped by the Hydro dragon sovereign
53:30 You know what, I could totally see a sweet Halloween-like event coming back next year for Snezhnaya. I'm sure Teucer would be over the moon to have us chaperone him again for a night on the town. Oh, were it so.
The target lock edit at 42:35 caught me off-guard good lord HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
1:27:27 ayo what? 😭😭😭
1:06:18 god i love her voice acting
also 1:31:20 AYO Freudian slip
This is kinda the part i have been waiting for haha 2 goats so close yet so far :) cheers m8
And now the 5.2 phase 2 banner information is out, we are now confused what happened if this two dragons meet each other :D
Awkward feeling

this got me crying because WDYM I DIDN'T DO THIS QUEST IN 4.4 BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IT EXISTED AND NEVER GOT THE DRAGON LADLE??? NOOOOOOOOOO
had me opening genshin just to look for it in my inventory AND ITS NOT THERE
The tease about a potential meeting between Zhongli and Neuvillette, can't help but wonder how would that go? 😅 Please Hoyo, make it happen
49:42 Hah, I noticed that chest at the exact same moment in the cutscene. Starting to wonder if they did that on purpose.
Pantalone...the chad for saying half a day day off isnt enough...the voice of the people in capitalism...
Also traveler throwing paimon under the bus 😂😂😂
Seeing Clorinde rn she REALLY reminds me of Caitlyn from Arcane/LoL 😭
Question for Arnold:
Are u gonna play the 5.2 Archon Quest Interlude on saturday? Just like what you did in 5.1 archon quest before
That depends on whether there are random encounter areas for our tepetlisaur companion like the base Natlan had.
