Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Arecino clapped her hands and looked at Su Hao and Gan Yu with admiration, saying, "As expected of Su Hao and Miss Gan Yu, you are indeed smarter than I imagined."

"That's what I think too. Right now, the water in Fontainebleau poses no harm to the human body."

"But if the prophecy comes true, will the great flood that could have submerged the entire Fontaine be mixed with other forces?"

Arecino was calm; she felt that there was only one possible scenario in which Fontaine could be prophesied to perish.

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to find the source?" Gan Yu asked Arecino with some doubt, considering the power of the Fools and the importance that the Fontaine government attached to this matter.

If we can find the source of that power and find a way to eliminate it, wouldn't everything be fine?

"No, it's different."

At this moment, Su Hao shook his head slightly, looked up at the ceiling, and said calmly, "The source is too strong; it's impossible to eliminate it."

Gan Yu noticed Su Hao's gaze. She looked up and then seemed to understand something, her expression changing slightly.

Gan Yu didn't say anything more after that, because what's in the sky? Besides Sky Island, what else is there?

"…………"

Arecino's gaze was also very calm. Yes, the laws of nature cannot be defied, as Her Majesty the Queen had told her.

The prophecy of Fontaine is inevitable and almost impossible to stop. Even using the power of the Heart of God might only delay its arrival.

"So, you built the ships to protect the Fontaines?"

Ella spoke up. Did she know that Arecino had built many ships, most likely to protect the Fontaines from being submerged by the water?

Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan looked at Arecino and naturally understood why Arecino had gathered so many people to build ships.

Since we cannot fight against them, we must at least protect the people of Fontainebleau and keep them safe.

To be honest, D'Artagnan didn't like this plan, because while he could escape for a while, he couldn't escape forever.

And how long can one survive by merely clinging to life?

"No, it's just temporarily protecting them."

Arecino said calmly, looking at everyone with a composed expression, "This is only temporary protection, because I learned about it from the Rock King Emperor."

"No matter where the people of Fontainebleau go, they cannot escape the arrival of the [prophecy], even the protection of the gods is of no use."

"I suspect that the whale will attack the Fontaines on its own initiative, or that it is a creature similar to an abyss monster that appears out of nowhere to attack the Fontaines. The warships and the elite of the Fools are here for this reason."

D'Artagnan gasped, looking at Arecino with a serious expression. "Wait, when did the Rock King tell you that?"

If Tartaglia is not mistaken, Arecino's contact with Zhongli was very short, because during that time, she was either with him or being monitored by the Liyue Immortals.

Even at the very end, Arecino didn't speak to Zhongli alone. She only said a few words before choosing to return to Fontaine.

He stayed behind to clean up the mess in Liyue, so when did he get this information?

“After I sold you for a good price,” Arecino said seriously; she wasn’t lying.

Upon entering Liyue, Arecino immediately took charge of the lady's affairs.

The woman was in charge of negotiating with the Rock King back then.

Arecino naturally went to negotiate with the Rock King Emperor with her own selfish motives, so she learned from him that no matter where the Fontaines went, the prophecy would befall each and every one of them.

Therefore, Arecino was completely disheartened. Her original idea was to pack up a large group of Fontaines and leave Fontaine; even if it meant leaving their homeland, it was better than dying.

But when the Rock King says this, it's as if he's telling Arecino that no matter where she goes, the prophecy will come true.

"You... fine, fine, servant, what else haven't you told me!" D'Artagnan laughed in anger, never expecting that he had been sold out again without even realizing it.

As for why it's "again"? D'Artagnan has no idea how many people have betrayed him.

"You'll get used to it, D'Artagnan," Su Hao told D'Artagnan to calm down, after all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

He himself had sold D'Artagnan for a good price more than once.

Of course, unlike Arecino who secretly sold D'Artagnan, Su Hao always sold her openly.

"So, there's nowhere to escape?"

Shen He frowned slightly. She hadn't expected things to be so complicated. At the same time, she could understand why Arecino had brought over a whole bunch of dangerous weapons.

They even ordered the construction of warships, clearly intending to guard against that whale.

The Fatui elite, gathered from Mondstadt, Liyue, and Sumeru, are here to fight against hidden dangers.

“Yes, there’s nowhere to run.” Arecino nodded again. There really was nowhere to run, otherwise she wouldn’t have done something so frightening.

Otherwise, according to Arecino's plan, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to do these things.

Just kidding, what good would doing these things do, besides making the officials in Fontainebleau wary?

But Arecino had no choice; she had to do it to save people, even if it meant being suspected.

If we don't do this, it will be too late when disaster strikes and all the Fontaines die.

As for discussing with the officials in Fontainebleau, Arecino was well aware of just how bad the reputation of the Fools was and what her colleagues had done.

So Arecino chose to remain silent. Let the misunderstandings continue; as long as they don't come over and destroy these things, that's all that matters.

Even if they were to destroy them, Arecino could argue that these items were essential military supplies for the temporary garrison in Fontaine, and that Fontaine had no right to dispose of them.

Navigette is the Supreme Judge, a guardian of the law, and would never do something so knowingly illegal.

If other officials from Fontaine come over and say anything, the Fools aren't lacking in eloquent individuals; they can simply delay things for a few months.

Arecino had a premonition that the Fontaine prophecy would definitely come true within a few months, which was why she was in such a hurry to gather all sorts of people in Fontaine.

"Do you know where the source is?"

Su Hao looked at Arecino and asked her directly where the source was.

“This? Of course I know.” Arecino made no attempt to hide anything, looking at Su Hao and saying, “Currently, I have identified seven areas and their existence…”

Before Arecino could finish speaking, Linnie, Linette, and the other Fools entered, carrying tea, snacks, fruit, and other refreshments.

Linnie, Linette, and the other fools placed tea, snacks, and fruit next to Su Hao and the others.

Afterwards, apart from Linney and Lynette, the other Fools withdrew quite consciously.

After confirming there were no outsiders present, Arecino slowly began to speak: "First, the former site of the Narcissus Cross Cathedral; second, the location of Erinas's body; third, the Opiclie Opera House; fourth, the Mélo Petersburg; fifth..."

When it came to fifth place, Arecino looked at Su Hao calmly and said, "Fifth is Fryna, and sixth is Navelette."

A question mark appeared above Su Hao's head. He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Frinina and Navelette???"

"Do you suspect that they themselves might become the 'Source' and destroy Fontaine?"

To be honest, Su Hao didn't understand why Arecino suspected that the source was Funina and Navelette.

Because it was simply impossible, Funina didn't need to say much. Although she knew nothing, her attitude spoke volumes.

She believed she had a way to save Fontaine, otherwise she wouldn't have stubbornly insisted that she was the water god Fucarus!

Needless to say, Villette, although he is indeed the Water Dragon King, his attitude shows that he cares a lot about the people of Fontaine.

Otherwise, given his rigid personality, he wouldn't have proposed to personally destroy these weapons after learning that the Fools' weapons could severely damage Fontaine.

This is an act that lacks martial ethics, but it must be admitted that if Vilette does this, even if Arecino and D'Artagnan join forces, they probably won't be able to stop her.

Because... this doesn't seem like something Navelette would do.

If Villette hadn't told Su Hao himself that he planned to do this, Su Hao would never have imagined that someone as rigid as him would do such a thing.

It's surprising that she can be so decisive.

Arecino nodded slightly and explained, "No, I just feel that the two of them know where the source is."

“But if Fryna doesn’t say, then Vilette… I can’t go see him for the time being.”

Gan Yu looked at Arecino with some confusion and asked, "Why? Didn't you want to know where the source is?"

Arecino's attitude is that she wants to know where the destruction of Fontaine came from, but why doesn't she ask the suspects when they are already suspected?

"When you encounter something wrong, do you immediately consult the Rock King Emperor?" Arecino asked Gan Yu in return.

This made Gan Yu fall silent for a moment, then she nodded again. If something really went wrong, she would go to find the Emperor.

"..." Arecino was silent for a moment, then she added, "What if the Rock King Emperor has a grudge against you?"

“Impossible.” Gan Yu immediately shook her head. She said very seriously, “Because if you have a grudge against the Emperor, you will either die or be sealed away.”

Yes, Gan Yu knew very well that in Liyue, if anyone angered the Emperor, they would either die or be sealed away.

Simply put, it's a choice between death and a fate worse than death.

But soon, Gan Yu, belatedly realizing something, pursed her lips slightly as if she had thought of something, and looked at Arecino with some surprise.

Clearly, Gan Yu seemed to know something, because Arecino had offended Navelette?

D'Artagnan looked at Arecino with some surprise, as if to say, "Do you have a grudge against Navelette?!"

“It’s not that serious.” Arecino waved her hand and said calmly, “It’s just that what happened last night, and the movements of the Fools, prevent me from communicating with Navelette for the time being.”

"When the time is right and there is enough evidence, I will speak with Navelette in person."

"Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have chosen to take action without crucial evidence."

Arecino knew Navelette very well; after all, Navelette had served as the Supreme Judge of Fontainebleau for hundreds of years.

His personality is basically well-known, and there are many people in Fontainebleau who are fans of Navelette.

The reason is simple: Navelette was selfless and handled everything with great authority.

Another point is... compared to Lady Funina, Lady Navelette seems more reliable.

Well, it might seem a bit offensive to say that, but in Fontaine, people can joke around with Funina.

But few, if any, would joke with Navelette.

"What are your thoughts on the [Source]?" Su Hao asked Arecino, looking at her.

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Arecino looked at Su Hao calmly, wanting to know which aspect he meant.

"Devastating." Su Hao said calmly, "If the water over there were to gush out, do you think that just flooding would cause such widespread damage?"

At this moment, Su Hao had a rather daring idea. Through Arecino's words, a thread connected in his mind.

This might be the truth behind Fontaine's destruction, or at least it's very close.

"What are your thoughts, Su Hao?" Arecino crossed her arms, a glint of light in her eyes, because she felt that Su Hao's next words would be very helpful to her plan.
