Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"And it's much better to fall into his hands than to be sent to Fontaine prison."

Upon hearing Arecino's words, the debt collector nodded in agreement, agreeing with his servant.

Entering Fontaine Prison would be an unimaginable disgrace, let alone the fact that they hadn't done anything wrong.

While still helping Fontaine, he was suddenly identified as a criminal—who could bear that?!

If they were to fall into Su Hao's hands, the situation wouldn't be so critical after all.

Because, despite the talk and the commotion, if Su Hao really wanted to kill the young master, he could have done it right there at the trial, and no one else would have said anything.

Not to mention, Young Master and Su Hao have a pretty good relationship.

But even knowing these things, the debt collector was still quite anxious.

"Father."

But at this moment, Linni spoke up, looking at Arecino and asking, "Should we continue with the original plan?"

"Today's pronouncement on the Cardinal gave me a bad feeling. Is it truly corrupt, or does it possess a self-awareness?"

Linni had a keen intuition, and he felt that today's decree ruling on the Cardinal's situation was far too strange.

If, as a machine, it makes the same decision today as it has in the past.

There should be no problem proceeding according to the original plan.

But now, it has given a different decision than the Supreme Judge Navilette, which has aroused Linni's suspicion.

I wonder if the Cardinal who issued the decree has developed self-awareness?

"Proceed as planned." Arecino stated that they would continue to proceed according to the original plan, as the investigation and ruling on the cardinal was an unavoidable stage.

At the same time, Arecino looked at Linni and the group of Fools and calmly said, "Furthermore, if the Fontaine government still does not cooperate with us in the next few days..."

“Then… I will publicly accuse Funinna.”

Chapter 593 Arecino’s intention

There was no time left. Arecino could clearly sense that the situation in Fontaine was much worse than she had imagined.

Arecino was initially quite at ease, after all, she had done enough, most of the Fools' elite forces were in Fontaine, and Su Hao was willing to cooperate with him.

Although Fontaine's official stance is somewhat ambiguous, after speaking with Funina, she also expressed an attitude that she wants to resolve the prophecy.

Needless to say, Villette, although he is the Water Dragon King, is also the Supreme Judge of Fontaine.

Today in court, Navelette, in order to uphold the law and justice of Fontaine, directly confronted the phantom of the Ice Queen without backing down.

Just kidding, dealing with an executive officer and a phantom of a god are completely different concepts.

Fighting the executor is fine, but if a divine phantom descends, it means that the will of the god has descended.

In a sense, this is the Ice Queen telling Navelette to give her face and stop fighting.

If Navelette had continued her attack, the war between Winter and Fontaine would have begun regardless.

After all, being attacked in public as a divine phantom is no less than being slapped in the face by one's own god.

Can they endure this winter? Can the fools endure it?

Did Villette not know? He certainly did, but he did it anyway because he knew that backing down would only make things more complicated.

As the Supreme Judge of Fontainebleau, he must firmly maintain his stance, otherwise the Fontainebleau judicial order would become a joke.

Of these, Fu Ningna's attitude was the most subtle.

Even now, Arecino has no idea what information the other party is hiding, and the other party's attitude is very strange.

Why do I say it's strange? Since their last meeting, Arecino has clearly sensed it.

Furnessa's aura changed, but Arecino couldn't tell what the change was; she only felt that the other woman had become more confident.

Has she gained more trump cards, or has her power returned, or perhaps...?

Arecino had a bold idea, but she wasn't sure, so she needed some time to decide.

If Fontaine's officials agree to cooperate with the Fools, then she won't need to test them anymore.

However, if no agreement is reached, then the extreme plan must be implemented.

"what?!"

"This...Master! Are you sure?"

"Father, please reconsider!!!"

"My lord, wouldn't this cause our relationship with Fontaine to deteriorate rapidly?"

"In that case, wouldn't all our preparations have been for nothing?!"

After Arecino said this, everyone, including Linnie, told her to think twice, because this was no joke.

In Fontaine, accusing Frynn?! How is that any different from reporting the Geo Archon for not giving Mora a meal in Liyue?!

Regardless, this is an unimaginable event, and will Vilette agree to it?

After the Fools do this, regardless of the final outcome, the relationship between Winter and Fontaine will likely deteriorate rapidly.

"I know."

Arecino looked at everyone and said in a calm tone, "That's why I said it depends on whether the Fontaine officials are willing to cooperate with us. If they are not willing..."

"So this is the worst possible strategy, but also... the key to breaking the deadlock."

"And do you have a better method?"

As she said this, Arecino looked at everyone, as if to say, "If you have any good suggestions, you can bring them up now."

Arecino's words silenced all the Fools, leaving them unsure of what to say.

However, regarding the accusation against the water goddess Funina, everyone hoped that their servant would reconsider, as this matter was far too serious.

The scale of the attack was so great that even the Fools and their executives couldn't handle it. Only Her Majesty the Queen, of equal status, would likely be qualified to accuse Furness.

"Father, on what grounds and pretext do you intend to accuse Miss Funina?"

Linni then asked Arecino what grounds he planned to use to accuse Miss Funina.

In Fontainebleau, accusing someone is no small matter, and the severity of the crime varies greatly depending on the accuser's status and position.

For example, if you accuse Grand Inquisitor Navelette, and you don't provide enough evidence, you can be in jail that very evening if you're accused that day.

Similarly, if we were to accuse Furness, what grounds or pretexts would we use to do so?

"Accusing her is not the water goddess."

Arecino spoke slowly, a strange glint in her eyes.

These words shocked everyone once again, because could such a statement be made so casually?!

Funina has been the water goddess for five hundred years, if the servant's accusation is successful.

All the fools held their breath, daring not to say another word, for their servant must be certain of his confidence to speak so boldly.

They didn't need to say anything more.

The Executor says that all these fools need to do is wholeheartedly obey orders and eliminate the enemy.

But the CEO has many more things to consider.

For example, in this incident, there were captains among the Fools present, but they didn't dare to utter a word.

Even Linnie was the same; although he was the next head of the Hearth House, he dared not utter a word in the face of this issue.

Lady Funina is not the Water Goddess. Just throwing this question out there is enough to make Linni shudder and cause a huge upheaval in Fontaine.

No, perhaps it's not just Fontaine; the entire continent of Teyvat will be shaken by this event!

"What's wrong? Weren't you all quite talkative? Why have you suddenly become mute?" Arecino looked at everyone with a smile, not quite understanding why they had stopped speaking.

The fools were sweating profusely, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, since you're not going to say anything, then everyone except Linni may leave."

Arecino kept only Linni and told everyone else to leave.

The Fools immediately took their leave, clearly relieved. They knew that the conversation was no longer something they could get involved in.

But they didn't want to hear about the previous topics either, let alone what came next!

She accused Furina of not being the water goddess.

If the Fontaine officials still do not intend to cooperate in the next few days...

That will definitely come true!

After the other Fools left, only Arecino and Linni remained.

“Father, is there anything else you need?” Linni asked Arecino.

Linni was well aware that her father had kept her behind alone because he had something to tell her.

“Be careful from now on.” Arecino looked at Linni and cautioned her, “Just as you guessed, I suspect that the Cardinal of the Proclamation has developed self-awareness.”

"You must be extremely careful when you are performing a magic show and going to see the Cardinal of Decree."

"If you sense something is wrong, you can abandon the mission immediately."

Arecino spoke calmly.

Corinne's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Arecino, clearly not expecting his father to say such a thing.

If Father says that, it means this mission is extremely dangerous.

“Just as you thought.” Arecino looked at Linni and said calmly, “This mission is indeed very dangerous, because you are very likely to be performing magic under the noses of three gods.”

"If you perform magic normally, nothing will happen. However, the investigation and decree to determine the Cardinal's status is a necessary part of the plan."

“I can guarantee your survival, but if you get too close to the Cardinal of Decree and Judgment…”

Arecino remained silent, for she too was somewhat concerned about the decree ruling that the cardinal possessed self-awareness.

It contains immense energy; even a tiny burst of it could kill Linni instantly.

This was no joke. Arecino could sense that the energy stored within the Cardinal Decree was enough to kill a demon god!
