Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

It's important to know that within Liyue Harbor, the only force that could monitor you is the Fatui. Liyue officials are aware of your existence and wouldn't be foolish enough to come and spy on you.

Since the incident at the Abyss of the Rocks, D'Artagnan has not come to monitor him again.

So from the moment he left the city, Su Hao knew that he was being watched by Arecino.

Regardless of whether he cared or not, besides his confidence in his strength, Su Hao also wanted to learn more about Fontaine through Arecino.

"Can we talk while we eat? I haven't had lunch," Arecino asked with a light laugh, but she remained where she was, without any sign of offense.

Although Su Hao did not show any hostility, Arecino still respected him very much.

Because the opponent was a being who had reached the realm of demons in human form, even the Doctor suffered a great loss at the hands of Su Hao.

Arecino believed that even if she obtained the power of the Empress's authority, she could rival the Demon God in a short-term burst.

Being able to rival a demon god doesn't mean you have the ability to defeat a demon god, but Su Hao has a solid track record of victories.

The stragglers who reached the Demon God's Realm, the PhD who has been in the Demon God's Realm for many years—these are all Su Hao's achievements.

Given the other party's status as the next Thor and the fact that she needed his help, Arecino maintained a very proper attitude and dared not offend him in any way.

“I can’t make that decision.” Su Hao neither agreed nor refused. He turned his gaze to Ying and said, “Let Ying decide whether you sit down to eat.”

Su Hao gave the choice to Ying, because no matter what, she was the one who would take on the mission from Wangshu Inn.

Although he was the one being served by the owner and manager of Wangshu Inn, Su Hao maintained a proper attitude.

If this were Inazuma, Su Hao would make the decision himself about whether or not to let Arecino sit down and eat with them.

But for now, let Ying have the headache.

"Should I choose?" Ying opened her mouth, looking quite shocked, clearly not expecting Su Hao to throw the choice to her.

As a traveler who has traversed several worlds and experienced many things, Ying quickly calmed down after her initial shock.

Ying looked at Arecino standing to the side, did a quick brainstorming session, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

"Thank you." Arecino smiled even more brightly, nodding gratefully at Ying, her goodwill towards her increasing considerably.

Just as the intelligence report stated, this traveler is truly kind-hearted, even though she is related to the "Prince" of the Abyss Order by blood.

But people are different, and this traveler did not develop a bad impression of her because of the Fools.

Therefore, I naturally wouldn't harbor hostility towards her because of this "trivial matter".

The two lightning sorcerers quickly brought over a chair so that their servant could sit down.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Arecino sat next to Su Hao.

"Before we eat, let me introduce myself again." Knowing that this was a valuable matter, Arecino looked at Su Hao and Ying and continued, "My name is Arecino, and I am the executor of the Winter Fools."

"I came to Liyue to take care of something. As for what it is, I can't say for now, but you should know later."

"The only person I can reveal is the Rock King Emperor."

Arecino looked at Su Hao, thinking that given Su Hao's level, he should know some inside information.

Su Hao remained completely calm, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.

On the contrary, a glint of light flashed in Ying's eyes, because she had already guessed that Arecino had come to do something.

So, she probably sought out Mr. Zhongli not because of his status as a guest of the Hall of Rebirth, but because of his other identity: the Rock God Morax.

"and many more!"

But at this moment, Mona also realized what was happening. She stared at Arecino and said, "You came here yesterday specifically because..."

“Yes.” Arecino smiled and looked at Mona slowly, saying, “As an astrologer, even without using astrology, your intuition is truly powerful.”

Mona's expression changed slightly, because through Arecino's words, she roughly understood why the other party had been present at dinner yesterday.

It turns out she came here for the Rock King Emperor.

"What? What are you talking about?" Paimon was completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.

What are you talking about? And why do you keep playing the riddle game?

"Get to the point," Su Hao said. He was also quite curious as to why Arecino had come all the way to see them.

But that doesn't mean he wants to hear nonsense; if they keep talking like this, Arecino won't be able to get anything of substance out of the conversation.

Adding to the time spent last night, it was enough for Arecino and Zhongli to finish their conversation.

Arecino certainly couldn't reveal the specifics, because doing so would be a breach of contract.

So he decisively interrupted the conversation and let Arecino get to the point.

"Excuse me." Arecino was aware of this as well. She looked at Su Hao and Ying and said, "Actually, we should go back to yesterday and talk about the Fontaine prophecy I mentioned."

“Fontaine’s situation has become increasingly dangerous recently, and I implore you to lend Fontaine a helping hand.”

As Arecino spoke, she stood up again and bowed to Su Hao, Ying, Mona, and Paimon.

This caused the two lightning mage's expressions to change drastically. They even wanted to say, "Servants, you are of such noble status, why do you bow to these guys?"

Well, there's really nothing wrong with bowing to Su Hao, because no matter how hateful he is, he's still the next Thor from Inazuma.

But what are the identities and statuses of the other three? A blond traveler from an unknown place, an unidentified flying object, and a somewhat capable astrologer.

What merit or ability do they possess to deserve such a ceremony?

"Huh?! You?!" Paimon was also shocked, because none of the Fatui Enforcers she had encountered or seen had this kind of attitude.

Like the young master, although he seemed kind and easy to talk to, Paimon felt that he was always harboring some bad intentions.

As for the lady, needless to say, she's a madwoman. Even now, Paimon can't understand her behavior and style.

The Scatter Soldier, it is true that he was manipulated by the Fools his whole life, but the crimes he committed and his vile character are still unsettling.

The Doctor... needless to say, he's a pure villain!!! Villain to the core!!!

Arecino's bow completely baffled Paimon; it was the first time she had ever seen such a polite Fatui executor.

This was completely different from what she had previously known.

Su Hao and Ying were also quite surprised, not expecting Arecino to pull such a stunt.

Mona asked warily, "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to morally blackmail us?"

Although Mona was still young and inexperienced in the ways of the world, she had heard many stories from the old woman, such as how even if others were miserable, astrology could not be used to change their fate.

Changing one's fate may bring temporary pleasure, but the starry sky will abandon her, and there will be karmic retribution in the dark, which she cannot bear.

In response, the old woman recounted several stories she had witnessed firsthand. Several astrologers had claimed to have seen the future and believed they could change the tragedy.

In the end, their scheming backfired, leading to an even greater disaster and ultimately trapping them in their own downfall.

Therefore, when Mona saw Arecino's attitude, she immediately became wary and said that she would not be morally blackmailed by the other party.

"No, it's not moral blackmail, it's a sincere request."

Arecino looked at everyone, sat down again, and said seriously, "I have confirmed Fontaine's prophecy through Her Majesty the Empress and the Rock King."

"That is the prophecy that cannot be changed: Fontaine will be submerged by water, and all the people of Fontaine will dissolve in the sea."

Arecino, a true Fontaine, recounted everything in detail, including the Fontaine prophecy and the current crisis of rising water levels in Fontaine.

According to the information gathered by her [children], Fontaine's prophecy will come true within five years.

As Arecino spoke, one dish after another, prepared by Yanxiao, was served.

Su Hao and the others, who were already starving, began to eat the food.

Arecino didn't touch her chopsticks; she continued to recount information about Fontaine, as well as the Queen's and the Rock God's attitude towards the prophecy.

That is, prophecies cannot be changed; even gods cannot prevent them from happening.

"…………"

Upon hearing these words, Mona's expression changed slightly. She put down her chopsticks and temporarily stopped eating.

"What's wrong?" Paimon was still eating, and when she saw Mona put down her chopsticks, she was still a little confused, not understanding why the other woman didn't continue eating.

While Paimon was indeed wary of Arecino, the latter's eloquence was truly remarkable!

Fontaine's prediction of the crisis, along with her personal intelligence gathering, were like a story, whetting Paimon's appetite!

Of course, it's also possible that Yanxiao's cooking was so delicious that Paimon couldn't stop eating.

"Although I don't want to do divination, to be honest... I'm interested."

Mona had intended to help Arecino, but then she heard what Arecino said.

All of this made Mona want to explore Fontaine's future; simply put, she was itching to do something and wanted to foresee the future.

“Useless.” Arecino shook her head, indicating that Mona’s efforts were in vain.

This made Mona a little unhappy. How could he say that?! She's the greatest astrologer!!! The kind of astrologer even the old lady acknowledges!

She can predict 95% of things on the continent of Teyvat.

Otherwise, the old woman wouldn't have let her out.

“No offense intended.” Arecino seemed to sense Mona’s displeasure and explained slowly, “I also have my own connections for using divination to predict the future.”

"She may not be as outstanding as you, but she won't be too far behind."

Yes, Arecino felt that Mona definitely couldn't divine anything. Although she was quite good, it was far too difficult for her to glimpse the future since she hadn't yet entered the realm of demons.

Mona also had her own pride. Provoked by Arecino, she reached out without saying a word, and the water mirror appeared in her hand.

Not only out of her own curiosity, but also on the staking her dignity as an astrologer, she was determined to prove them wrong!

"Destiny! Revealed here!"

Mona spoke very seriously, using her powers to see what the starry sky might foreshadow for Fontaine's future.

Su Hao, Ying, Paimon, and Arecino were also looking at Mona.

"This?! What is this?!?!"

Mona's expression changed drastically. She seemed to see some terrifying creature, her face turned deathly pale, and at the same time, the water mirror in her hand shattered.

Yes, the water mirror that Mona had created with her elemental power began to crack, as if it would shatter completely in the next second.

"Um?!"

Su Hao was quite perceptive. He looked at the Water Elemental Eye behind Mona and noticed that the originally glittering Eye on her body had dimmed.
