If this weren't Liyue Harbor, the two sides would probably have already started fighting.

At the very least, Black Ella and Ella would probably draw their swords or use their powers to attack Arecino immediately.

"Gentlemen, let me reintroduce myself." Arecino bowed slightly to the crowd and said in a calm and unhurried tone, "I am a Fontaine, and currently the fourth servant of the Executors of the Fools, Arecino."

"I came here to find Mr. Zhongli, but I didn't expect to meet you all."

Arecino openly stated that she had come to see Mr. Zhongli.

If her two subordinates hadn't shown such obvious surprise, Arecino could have said that she had come to see Black Ella.

This is a disguised way of praising the intelligence network of the Fools.

However, the two Thunderfire Sorcerer sisters became unusually agitated upon seeing Su Hao, inadvertently revealing a great deal of information.

Therefore, Arecino had no choice but to reveal that her real purpose in coming here was to find Mr. Zhongli.

"Find me?"

Zhongli was not surprised at all. He looked up at Arecino and said in a manner that maintained his persona, "I am just a minor guest of the Hall of Rebirth."

"I never expected that the executor of the Fools of Winter would actually come to my door in person. I am truly flattered."

Arecino, Su Hao, Black and White Ella, and Ying, who knew Zhong Li's identity, had very subtle expressions.

You, the mighty Rock King Emperor! What are you pretending for?!

"Haha... Mr. Zhongli, there's no need to be nervous."

Arecino, a seasoned veteran, smiled slightly and looked at Zhongli, saying, "I already know from you, young master, that you are a man of great experience and knowledge."

"I have come here to find a way to decipher the prophecy of my hometown."

Upon hearing Arecino's words, Mona seemed to realize something and asked in surprise, "The Fontaine prophecy? Does it mean that all Fontaines are burdened with sins and will eventually die, leaving only the prophecy of the water god?"

As an excellent astrologer, she naturally knew a thing or two about some of the prophecies on the continent of Teyvat.

She had also heard about Fontaine's prophecy from the old woman; it was said to be an unsolvable problem.

Because of the one who made the prophecy, there is no being on the continent of Teyvat who can stand against him.

Of course, Mona didn't care about these things at the time; she just heard the old woman mention it casually, and afterwards she focused on studying her astrology.

But at this moment, Arecino brought up the Fontaine prophecy again, along with what she had seen through astrological divination.

The Fool's Enforcer before me... isn't human? Then what is she?

"Strictly speaking, it dissolves in seawater."

Arecino glanced at Mona and added, "The people of Fontaine are born with sin, and one day they will drown those who bear their sins, leaving only the water god weeping on his throne."

“I heard this prophecy when I was a child. I don’t know why we are born with sin, but I want to solve this problem, so I joined Winter and became the executor of the Fools.”

"Now that I've come to Liyue, I'm naturally here to find a way out of this predicament."

Arecino's words at this moment were sincere; she didn't lie at all, because this was her ultimate goal.

The fact that she came to Zhongli to discuss this matter was actually part of her plan, as the guest elder of the Rebirth Hall did not know how to solve this problem.

So... the Rock King Emperor doesn't know? As the most ancient demon god, he must know some inside information, and might even be able to give me some guidance.

This is why Arecino was willing to take on the mess left by the lady and come to Liyue to handle things.

Coral Palace Heart Sea looked at Arecino and said with some surprise, "But every country has its own gods, right?"

"Since it's a prophecy from Fontaine, why not go find the water god of Fontaine?"

Hisaki Shinobu looked at Arecino with some curiosity, wondering what the Fontaine prophecy had to do with Liyue.

"Yes, yes, why not seek out the water god? You Fools are so wicked, your lies were exposed so easily!" Paimon snorted.

In her eyes, the Fools' Enforcers were all bad guys, but Tartaglia was someone she could talk to.

But the remaining few, whether they were the dead lady, the almost formatted stragglers, or the unforgivable doctor, were all bad guys!

This Arecino isn't a good person either; she can't even come up with a better excuse.

“A god? The water goddess Fucarus?” Arecino gave a strange smile, her tone somewhat sarcastic. “To be honest, I don’t think she deserves to be a god.”

"As a god, she does nothing all day long. She is more suited to be an [idol] in Mondstadt than a god."

"To be honest, I have no respect for her at all, whether it was when I was a child or now."

Arecino's attitude was very bad when it came to the water god Fucarus, because the situation in Fontaine was getting worse and worse, and the water god was doing nothing at all.

If the other party takes any action, or even takes the prophecy seriously, then Arecino will not try to find a way to break the prophecy.

"So you have no respect for the gods of your own country?!" Gan Yu was somewhat shocked, not expecting Arecino to say such a thing.

As a citizen of Liyue, Gan Yu genuinely respects the Geo Archon, and it is because of her admiration for him that she became the Seven Stars Secretary and worked for Liyue Harbor for so long.

The people of Liyue, and the Celestials, have always respected the Geo Archon.

In addition, the people of neighboring Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru, and Sudden also deeply revere their gods.

Even when leaving one's homeland and arriving in a foreign country, one's awe and respect for the gods will not disappear.

But this was the first time she had ever seen someone like Arecino, a Fontaine, who showed absolutely no respect for the gods of her own country.

They even went so far as to say that the other party is more suitable to be an "idol" than a god?

Gan Yu naturally understood what Mondstadt's "idol" meant, which was the so-called "star".

This is an insult to the gods.

Keqing looked at Arecino with some confusion, not understanding why she said that.

Based on their previous interactions, Keqing felt that Arecino was a very rational person.

Because an irrational person wouldn't make Ningguang so wary.

But now, Arecino's words make it seem as if she speaks without thinking.

"Aren't you afraid of incurring divine punishment?" Su Hao asked curiously, even though he didn't know what had happened in Fengdan.

Because when he transmigrated, the map only went up to Sumeru, and he had no idea what had happened in Fontaine.

But after spending so much time on the continent of Teyvat, Su Hao also came to understand one thing: any demon god who sat in the position of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm was no ordinary person.

Don't be fooled by Nasida's lack of combat prowess; it's because she was betrayed by her own people and imprisoned for five hundred years, forcing her to rely solely on the void to learn anything.

After Narcida was freed, she studied with the Great Tree King in the World Tree for three months. Not only did her combat power increase by one or two times, but her overall control over the situation also improved significantly.

Even though Su Hao and his group left Sumi, Nasita, despite saying it was troublesome, still found a replacement for them in the shortest possible time.

Before long, the new Great Sage and other sages of the Order of the Church will be selected.

And most importantly, if you dare to utter the name of a god, you will be watched and responded to by the gods.

For example, Su Hao now reads Naxida's name, Buyer.

They refer to Ray's films as Balzeb, and Morax, etc.

These deities will sense your actions, and if you curse them, you may indeed be punished by them.

It might be okay for ordinary people to secretly curse a few times, but for someone like Arecino, whose strength is second only to the Demon God, to speak of the Water God Fukaros like that, isn't she afraid of divine punishment?

Keep in mind that she is a Fontaineble, and the Water God has the right to deal with her, so even the Ice Queen of Winter wouldn't say anything.

“She won’t do that.” Arecino shook her head slightly, her tone quite disappointed. “Sometimes, I do wish she would respond to me.”

"If she were a true god, she would have punished me years ago. If she did punish me, I would be very happy."

"Because I will take this opportunity to ask her about the things she predicted, and why she has been playing house all these years."

"As long as I know that the gods have not abandoned Fontaine, nor have they disregarded the lives of the people of Fontaine, then even if I die, I will have no fear."

Arecino spoke very casually; she didn't care about the water god's punishment. On the contrary, she knew very well that the prophecy was something that would inevitably happen in the future.

She needed information and how to stop the prophecy from happening, but the actions of the water god Fucarus disappointed her greatly.

Even in front of outsiders, Arecino showed no intention of protecting the face of the water god Fucarus.

"This..." Coral Palace Xin Hai pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.

Not only her, but everyone else did the same. No one expected Arecino to speak so disrespectfully to the water god Fucarus.

Some even felt that the water god Fucarus was not a true god.

"…………"

Su Hao remained silent for a moment, looking at Arecino without believing her words.

Based on his observations of the four gods he had met, even though Fontaine is currently facing a crisis, the water god Fucarus, or the previous water god, would definitely have a backup plan.

Even if no contingency plan was left, I believe the gods will surely find a way to overcome this disaster.

However, it seems that Arecino hopes to receive divine punishment in order to obtain prophetic information and verify some of her own ideas.

To be honest, Su Hao felt that the other person was a bit crazy. Although she spoke very calmly, she gave people a very crazy feeling.

However... what Arecino said about Fontaine made Su Hao a little curious about that country.

She also became somewhat curious about the water god Fucarus, wondering what kind of deity would make Arecino belittle him so much.

Just after Arecino finished speaking, Zhongli silently took a sip of warm tea and said slowly, "I'm sorry, but as for the Fontaine prophecy, I am just a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth and do not know how to resolve it."

"If I ever find out how to resolve the Fontaine prophecy in the future, I will try to tell you."

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Arecino smiled without much reaction. She nodded slightly and looked at everyone, saying, "Well then... excuse me, I'll take my leave now."

"I hope we can maintain this harmonious atmosphere next time we meet."

As she said this, Arecino opened the door to the private room and saw the waiter bringing in the dishes.

"What a shame."

Arecino shook her head, seemingly regretting something, then quickly walked out and left the private room.

The waiter who brought the food glanced at Arecino as she left, unsure of what she had come for.

Although he felt a little strange, he immediately put the hot dishes he had just cooked on the table and then conveyed Master Mao's words to Su Hao.

This indicates that the other dishes have already started to be prepared, and they will be served shortly after a short wait.

After speaking, the waiter immediately withdrew, because he knew the identities of Su Hao and his group, and it was clearly against the rules for him to stay there for so long.

After the waiter left, a brief silence fell over the private room.
