King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 785 Agent

"This is not arranged by us, but you need to appoint it yourself." The guards shook their heads. Seeing the young master's puzzled look, they continued:
"[Agent] is essentially a person who has not committed a crime and is personally involved in the investigation, so they need to be close enough to you."

"How is it? Do you have any relatives or friends in Fontaine?"

"Friends and relatives in Fontaine..."

The guard's words silenced the young master, who straightened his body and began to think with his eyes closed.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

"I think my colleagues should..."

"Is that the [servant]? Sorry, she told us in advance that she is currently busy with diplomatic affairs between Fontaine and Winter Solstice and cannot spare the time!"

"Bang~"

Veins popped out on the young master's forehead. This is truly a good colleague, a "good" colleague who doesn't care about colleagueship at all.

"Huh...huh..."

Because of his inner resentment, the young man's chest kept heaving, making him look like an angry frog.

"Mr. Tartaglia, are there any other candidates?"

"..."

The young master did not answer for a long time. Seeing this, the guards could not help but come up with a very absurd idea.

"You don't have any friends at Fontaine?"

"Pfft~"

The truth always hurts. After he said this, the guards were surprised to see that the young master's heaving chest quickly shrunk, and his entire face turned gray.

"Why should I tell the truth..., don't I have any dignity..."

Hearing the young master's mumbling, everyone showed a hint of sympathy on their faces. It seems that the life of an executive is far from as good as imagined.

"and many more!"

The young man stopped mumbling, and he suddenly thought of a guy who could barely be considered a "friend" of his.

"There's another person, Ember!"

The young master slapped the table in high spirits and spoke loudly to the security team members.

"Then do you know where it is?"

"Forehead……"

The young master's movements froze for a moment, and he suddenly realized that he had no idea where the ember was.

But soon, he waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this, he wears full body armor all day, it's very easy to recognize him!"

"Wearing full body armor... is indeed a distinctive feature. But before we find him, I'd like to trouble you, Mr. Tartaglia, to stay here for a while!"

The security team members all nodded when they heard this, and then they filed out to look for the friend that the young master had finally found after thinking hard for a long time.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that the young master could not help but doze off. After an unknown amount of time, there was a new movement here.

"Squeak!"

The door to the interrogation room was opened.

"So fast? You Fontaine guards are very efficient." In a daze, the young man couldn't help but sigh at the high efficiency of the Fontaine guards.

"That's not the case."

The unfamiliar voice woke the young man up. He rubbed his eyes and looked, and in front of him was a security guard in uniform who looked so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary.

The young master vaguely remembered that this guy seemed to have been standing in the corner and never made a sound.

"Should I call you Master, or Tartaglia?"

"It depends on the power behind you." The young master looked at the guy in front of him. Even if his eyesight was poor, he could tell that this guy was an undercover agent from another force.

"Then I'll just call you Master."

"Excuse me, Master, you just said that you and Yu Jin are friends. Is that true?"

The young master was stunned by the words of the security team member. He thought that the person on the other side might be an undercover agent of the Fatui and wanted to rescue him. He also thought that the person on the other side might be an undercover agent of the hostile force and wanted to deceive him.

But no matter what, he never thought that he would be related to the embers.

"This... is absolutely true! If you don't believe me, you can ask him!" Relying on the fact that Yu Jin was not here, the young master gave a definite answer without changing his expression.

Anyway, Yu Jin is a mysterious guy, so he doesn't believe that the guy in front of him can find him!
"That's good. The Thorn Rose Society will notify Mr. Yu Jin. Mr. Young Master, please wait here for a while."

The guards nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then hurried out of the interrogation room, leaving the young master with a confused look on his face. "What?"

After a long while, he finally uttered this word from the air.

……

Fontaine is tall and magnificent. Its large area and complex architecture make it much more majestic than the main cities of the previous countries.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Yu Jin at the moment. After hearing that he was going to Fontaine, the enthusiastic Thorn Rose Society immediately took on the responsibility of a guide, not only preparing a boat for him, but also arranging accommodation for him.

So, following the twists and turns of the Thorn Rose Society, Yu Jin came to the sewer of Fontaine...

"here……"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu Jin, the Thorn Rose Club is currently short of funds. After the current stage of the project is completed, the young lady will arrange the most luxurious suite for you!"

"No, I mean...how do you know that I like to go into the sewers the most!"

"what?"

After the above brief conversation, the Thorn Rose Society saw the embers begin to run wildly in the sewers of Fontaine.

The city's sewers and the manure pits in the wild are the best tourist attractions certified by both Lordran and Rodel. You must try them.

Originally, these two scenic spots should have disappeared after the fall of the city, but I didn’t expect to see them again in Fontainebleau.

Unfortunately, the smell of sewers in Fontaine is still not enough, both in the physical sense and in the psychological sense.

There were piles of corpses, rats bigger than humans, and people who had almost merged with the pile of corpses... None of that.

But Yu Jin hadn't expected to see these. Even if he saw them, he would have to take the trouble to clean them up.

It should be noted that he was responsible for the first phase of the dredging and repair of the sewers in the Royal City of Rodel. Cleaning the sewers is also one of his hobbies.

It is also because of this that after running through the sewer system of Fontaine, Yu Jin successfully discovered many unreasonable aspects of it with his experience of drilling through the sewers countless times.

Therefore, the first phase of the Fontaine sewer renovation project has officially started!

Of course, it can also be called the Huihe Phase I Renovation Project.

"Yu Jin, I think we should just forget about it. This place has been blocked for so long, everyone is used to it."

Standing on a high place, Navia covered her nose and advised the embers below.

She came to Fontaine this time to thoroughly investigate the case of the missing girl, so naturally she met Yu Jin.

Now they are in the dirtiest part of the Gray River. There are not many people here. As for the reason... it is naturally the gray and smelly water below.

Countless pieces of swollen and faded garbage were floating on the turbid water surface, and from time to time a large mass of mold could be seen passing above the water surface.

The filthiness of the stinking water was enough to deter people, not to mention the destructive smell. The combination of the two made it so that no one within a mile was willing to stay.

"That's why it makes sense. Don't you see that this is the lowest place? If it rains hard up there one day, you'll be in trouble."

"It's okay, there's a shed over the pipe." Someone explained from the back.

"The shed? The one that almost made me fall? Aren't you afraid of falling to your death?"

Yu Jin picked his ears, saying in a "are you kidding me" tone.

"That's because you're wearing a suit of armor."

The man argued in a low voice that normally the sheds were pretty solid, but who made Ember wear plate armor?

Yu Jin didn't say anything else. He waded into the sewage nonchalantly and knocked on the clogged sewer pipe.

“Dangdangdang!

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of knocking on the pipe changed, and Yu Jin knew which direction he should clear and expand the sewer.

"Get out of the way, everyone. Don't let the stinky water splash on you or you will dissolve again."

After warning the people watching behind him, Yu Jin took out a magic wand.

Who is the best company for unclogging pipes? Comet Azrael is the one to go to.

“Ding buzz——”

As the pyroxene flickered, starlight gathered in the sewer, gathered into a brilliant nebula at the top of the staff, and then gushed out.

"Eat my comet duck!"
