Despite the scolding, if the lady discovers anything, she will inform them of the information immediately so that they can prepare in advance.
But to be honest, my servant... since entering Liyue, the Thunderfire mage hasn't seen this executor do anything.
He wasn't just wandering around; he was doing it for his own selfish reasons—to find a way to break the prophecy for his hometown, Fontainebleau.
Although I know that my servant deciphered the Fontaine prophecy for the sake of the Heart of the Water God, now the young master's plan is about to be implemented.
The servant is still not doing anything. Isn't that a bit strange?
So, as a subordinate, she dared to ask Arecino if they really did nothing.
"Are you questioning me?" Arecino looked at the lightning mage with a smile, though it was just a casual inquiry.
But the two lightning-fire sorcerer sisters' expressions changed drastically. They immediately knelt down, indicating that they dared not, and their bodies trembled.
"Alright, alright, get up." Arecino clapped her hands, telling the two girls not to be so afraid, because it was normal for them to have doubts.
But the two lightning-fire sorcerer sisters remained kneeling on the ground, trembling, too afraid to get up.
Seeing this, Arecino didn't force them, but slowly explained, "I can't move around freely now, and neither can you."
"I'm being watched by the Liyue Master. If I dare to act recklessly, Black Aila is very likely to fight me."
"If the two of us were to fight, how much of an advantage would I have?"
Arecino questioned her two subordinates, even though she herself knew why they were questioning her.
After all, she hadn't done anything for the past month, not because she didn't want to.
She also wanted to go to Qingce Village to find that Pure Water Sprite and get information about the past of Fengdan from her.
But she had no choice. Black Ella was watching her from the shadows, and if she dared to go out at this critical moment, she would most likely end up in a fight with her.
Given Liyue's current favoritism towards Black Ayla, Arecino feels she is very likely to be arrested.
And... although Morax said that Su Hao would not participate in this operation, she would not believe Morax's words.
Su Hao won't participate in this operation, but would he do it for personal reasons?
Arecino didn't realize that she held a much higher place in Morax's heart than Su Hao.
Furthermore, she came here on a mission from the Empress, and if she were to put herself in danger because of such a trivial matter, she would truly deserve to die.
The two lightning sorcerers fell silent. They knew the drawbacks, but seeing their colleagues working so hard, they did nothing.
This made them feel extremely frustrated.
“And…” Arecino looked at her subordinates and said softly, “Didn’t you already know that I would take action if necessary?”
"But not now. Right now, we just need to act normally like this."
"Remember, the plan that you and I are about to carry out is extremely dangerous and cannot afford any mistakes. Do not act presumptuously."
"Otherwise, if Her Majesty the Empress were to blame you, it wouldn't be something that could be explained away in just a few words."
Upon hearing this, the two lightning sorcerers looked up at Arecino, only then realizing that their servant had planned everything all along.
The reason we are not making a move now is simply because we are waiting for the best opportunity.
"We are fools." X2
The two lightning sorcerers apologized, saying that the Executor had planned everything in advance, and it was wrong of them to question their servant for their own selfish reasons.
"You may leave." Arecino shook her head, not blaming the two of them, but choosing to let them leave.
"Yes." X2
The Thunderfire Sorcerer sisters nodded in unison, said nothing more, and withdrew without a word.
After they left, Arecino looked at the screen to the side and said, "Asleep? Aren't you coming out?"
"Ahem... No, Father."
A man dressed in a somewhat androgynous style and a girl with cat ears and a tail emerged from behind a screen.
A man and a woman emerged from behind the screen and bowed to Arecino.
"Alright, no need for such formalities." Arecino picked up the teacup on the table, took another sip, and said calmly, "What about Fontaine..."
“Everything is normal.” The androgynous young man, named Linni, reported very seriously: “Fontaine did not send a delegation, and Miss Funina will still be performing today.”
"As for Mr. Navelette, he still maintains his centuries-old habit of being either on the way to trial or on the way to trial."
Arecino frowned slightly. She placed her hand on the table and tapped it rhythmically, muttering to herself, "They're not here? This should be the gathering of the Seven Gods."
"It's normal that Her Majesty the Queen and the God of Fire aren't coming, but why isn't the God of Water coming either? What is she thinking? Or is she unable to leave Fontaine?"
Arecino was clearly startled when she saw Su Hao, Wendy, Zhong Li, the two Thors, and Narcida in the morning.
She then realized that this was most likely a "Gathering of the Seven Gods," and a rather private one at that.
The current ritual of summoning immortals is something that anyone with even a little bit of inside information will send someone to watch, because it is equivalent to a major reform in the Teyvat continent in the last five hundred years.
Her Majesty the Queen couldn't come herself, but she still sent a delegation. It's normal that she couldn't come because of the serious war in Nata, but she didn't send anyone from Fontaine, which is peaceful.
This really puzzled Arecino.
"Father, did you call us from Fontainebleau because you have a mission to complete?" the cat-eared girl, Lynette, asked directly.
Originally, the siblings were supposed to continue carrying out their father's mission in Fontaine, but a few days ago, their father suddenly summoned them and asked them to go to Liyue.
After a period of sea travel, they finally arrived in Liyue from Fontainebleau.
Linni looked at her father with some curiosity, wondering why he was in such a hurry to call them from Fontainebleau to Liyue.
"Yes and no."
Meeting the gaze of her two children, Arecino spoke calmly.
This puzzled Linnie and Lynette, as their father rarely said such things.
“The blonde traveler, you know him, right?” Arecino took out a photo of Luminous and Paimon and placed it on the table. She looked at her two children and slowly said, “The Summoning Ceremony is imminent. My identity is sensitive, and I cannot act casually.”
"Although you are members of the Fools, you should use your identity as the Great Magician of Fontaine to approach her."
Linni understood his father's meaning. He picked up the photo, looked at the blond traveler, and stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled, "Why do you say this is a mission, yet not a mission?"
Linni knew Arecino's personality very well; to her, a task was a task, and if it wasn't a task, it wasn't a task.
But now, Father is saying that this is both a mission and not a mission. How strange! Could it be that this traveler's identity is special?
"That depends on how you interpret it," Arecino smiled slightly, choosing not to answer, referring to Linnie, who was expected to become the head of the household in the Hearth House.
Arecino will give the other person as much freedom as possible.
“…” Linni remained silent. He looked at Ying in the photo and finally nodded seriously, saying, “I understand, Father. I will do as I see fit.”
A hint of approval flashed in Arecino's eyes when she saw Linni's answer, but she did not praise him.
Arecino looked at Linnie and Lynette and asked, "What's the situation with the sea level in Fontainebleau lately?"
Lynette hesitated for a moment, then looked at Arecino and said, "Father, the sea level in Fontaine has risen again."
Arecino, who had been smiling, gradually lost her smile and sighed quietly.
Because of rising sea levels, this means that the Fontainebleau prophecy has risen again, which is not a good thing.
"Alright, I have nothing more to ask." Aregino wasn't going to continue with business as usual. She pointed to the chairs next to her and said, "Please sit down and have some tea and snacks to replenish your energy."
"The tea and snacks here in Liyue are quite good. Since we've come all the way to Liyue, we can't leave empty-handed."
Linnie and Lynette both smiled and sat down to share tea and refreshments with their father.
“Father, you are too kind to them.” Lynette took a sip of tea and looked at Arecino earnestly, “You took them in, Father.”
"So they've started to question your actions, Father."
Clearly, Lynette was quite displeased by the questioning of Arecino by the two lightning-lightning sorceress sisters.
After the woman fell from power, they were taken in by the father and kept as his confidants.
This is something to be envied, but it's really unpleasant that they actually questioned their father's actions.
Linni didn't speak, but like Linette, he felt a little dissatisfied with the two lightning flaming sorcerers.
Because he knew very well that his father had his own reasons for everything he did, and even if he felt puzzled, he would continue to do it steadfastly.
"Don't worry about it, they're just used to the lady's way of doing things," Arecino said, trying to excuse the two lightning sorcerers.
There was nothing they could do; their former boss was a woman.
The lady went to great lengths to devise a plan for the Fools to steal the Heart of God.
She traveled all over the four kingdoms of Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru, and her trusted Electro-Firefly sisters naturally followed her everywhere.
Now that the lady is dead, but her spirit still lives on, the two lightning sorcerers are very anxious and hope that their servant can do something.
Therefore, Arecino can tolerate their overstepping of boundaries, but she cannot tolerate them if they insist on doing something wrong.
Chapter 420 Mona's Divination!
Yes, Arecino's attitude towards the two lightning sorcerers was that simple; she wasn't some kind of wicked boss who didn't understand others.
On the contrary, she could understand the thoughts of the two lightning flaming sorcerers very well. Having followed the lady, they had naturally witnessed the many contributions she had made for Winter.
As an executive of the Fools, Arecino admits that she is inferior to the lady in this respect, for a very simple reason.
She wouldn't be as fanatical as the lady, willing to give everything for Winter, or even burn her own life to pave the way for Winter.
Everyone has things they must do. Arecino joined the Fools initially only to save Fontaine, her homeland.
After meeting the Ice Queen and learning about her wishes and some secrets, Arecino also came to the side of the Fools and helped them do many things.
Therefore, Arecino treated the two lightning spellcasters very gently.
“They don’t understand Father’s gentleness and wisdom,” Linni said frankly. “The time they’ve spent together is still too short.”
“If they spend more time together, they won’t follow the lady’s plan anymore.”
"Because in my opinion, although the lady's approach to doing things is highly efficient, it has too many hidden dangers."
Lynette nodded slightly. They were all their father's children and members of the Fools, so they naturally understood the lady's set of rules.
To achieve our goal, we will never give up! We will utilize every available resource! An enemy will always be an enemy, and will never become a friend.
To be honest, while the lady's plan maximized the interests of the Fools, the consequences of her actions also unwittingly turned a group of people who should have been allies of Winter into enemies.
