Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Is that all the information the Fools really have?

Gan Yu nodded in deep agreement, and looked at Arecino seriously, saying, "Are you Fools hiding some important information?"

"With the abilities of your Fools, it's impossible that you could have only gathered so little information."

Gan Yu also felt that the Fools were very likely hiding some important information, and that they had come to seek cooperation with sincerity.

But the Fools' attitude clearly shows a lack of sincerity.

“I think you guys have some misunderstandings about the Fools’ intelligence agency.” Datalia looked at Gan Yu and Black Ella with a hint of annoyance. “The Fools’ intelligence agency isn’t used for investigating these kinds of things.”

"You need to distinguish between true and false information in these miscellaneous matters, and you also need time to verify them."

"At the same time, the personnel from all sides have just arrived in Fontaine. It's not something that can be mobilized just like that. The normal procedures must be followed."

Here, D'Artagnan begins to speak up for Arecino, even though he dislikes her.

But no matter what, they are still colleagues. It doesn't matter how much they betray you or what you say.

But if others question him, well, sorry! He, Dadalia, will not engage in internal strife.

Tartaglia looked at Gan Yu and Hei Aila and continued, "You two, one is the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars, and the other is a candidate executive officer. You should be familiar with these procedures."

"This..." Gan Yu was speechless for a moment, then she asked in confusion, "Are the rules in Fengdan really that complicated?"

D'Artagnan and Arecino nodded at the same time, a rare occurrence.

Arecino offered a rare explanation for herself: "Fontaine is a land of justice, and we must always be careful of the [judgment] here."

“Even we Fools don’t want to be dragged into the [Judgment], because the Supreme Judge Navelette will not show any mercy.”

"And given our rather bad reputation, the executive management department in Fontaine seems to be acting somewhat...emotionally?"

“In every country, as long as the name of the Fools is used, there will be resistance, so we are not particularly successful in gathering intelligence.”

Arecino didn't know how to evaluate the executive management department in Fontaine, because they were a bit too emotional.

Or rather, the management departments in Fontainebleau are quite humane. While they are generally serious about their work, they can also be quite meticulous at times.

The only fair and serious Navigator simply stated that these matters were not his responsibility.

Funina, who was in charge of these matters, was too lazy to see the Fools and even resisted seeing Arecino.

There was a reason why Arecino wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Furness after meeting her.

"........."

After hearing what D'Artagnan and Arecino said, everyone fell silent.

In a sense, the Fools are quite pitiful.

"Is this why you decided to use force?" Su Hao rubbed his temples, and for a moment he understood.

The reason Arecino insisted on meeting with Furness was because she needed to obtain information about the prophecy and to cooperate with the higher-ups in Fontaine.

But Furina absolutely refused to meet with Arecino, a point that was explained by Arecino in the chat group.

That is... Arecino is terrifying! Extremely frightening! She knows that the Fools' Enforcers are all madmen, capable of even releasing demons.

Well, although when Funina said those words, Zhongli silently indicated that he had provided the location of the demon god and the method to break through it.

It was all a setup. The Fools made a deal with themselves to release the ancient demon god.

Then Funina was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected that the information she knew was actually a setup.

It was a scheme personally designed by Morax, the Geo Archon.

However, since Funina knew nothing about what she was asking, and even the Heart of God was not in her possession, Arecino began to resort to force.

Or rather, they intend to use force to forcibly rescue the people of Fontainebleau.

"I don't know." Dadalia spread his hands, indicating that he was clueless. He was just an emotionless mission-carrying machine and a person who craved fighting.

“Yes.” Arecino nodded, and said calmly, “Using force is the worst method, but it is also the simplest and most effective method.”

"I don't like to use force to subdue others, but if others don't understand what I'm saying, then I don't recommend using the simplest and most direct language to make them understand what I mean."

Arecino's voice was calm, but there was a hint of helplessness in it.

If everyone cooperated with his actions, then why would she need to do it?

"Fine, since you're pitiful, I'll tell you the information I've gathered first."

Seeing how miserable Arecino and the Fatui were, Su Hao helplessly said, "And then there's..."

Su Hao informed Arecino of [Les], the serial disappearances of girls, and other information.

Arecino listened silently, a glint of insight flashing in her eyes, before she nodded slightly, as if she understood something.

"I see, now I understand." After hearing the information Su Hao provided, Arecino nodded slightly and slowly said, "It seems that the president of the Rose Society has also come to you."

"She's quite cunning, isn't she? This new president of the Rose Society."

Upon hearing Arecino's words, Su Hao blinked and looked at her, asking, "You know Navia too?"

“We are acquainted.” Arecino nodded, and she looked at Su Hao and explained, “The Rose Society is a very well-known non-governmental organization in Fontainebleau.”

"When you first came to Fontaine, the construction of the waterway on the patrol boat you were on was greatly assisted by the Rose Society."

"Therefore, three waterways—the 'Carles Line,' the 'Clementine Line,' and the 'Navia Line'—are named after the three women of the Carles family."

Su Hao hadn't expected such a past, but he asked with curiosity, "Then you need to seek help from the Rose Society?"

It's rather rare for the Fools to seek help from a local gang.

"Yes and no," Arecino said casually. "In my plans, the Rose Society is important, but not particularly important."

"However, their help would also be helpful to my plans, so I asked Linnie and Lynette to help me resolve this matter."

"I just didn't expect her to come after you."

Arecino knew very well that Su Hao had only been in Fontaine for less than four days. If it were the Rose of the Past, it would be quite normal for them to find Su Hao.

But right now, the Rose Society... after Carles' death, although it can't be said that the Rose Society exists in name only, its influence is much, much weaker than before.

"It was a coincidence..." Su Hao rubbed his nose, thinking about how he had randomly picked up a seemingly glamorous woman on the street that day, only to find out that she had such a powerful background.

"A coincidence?" Arecino smiled undeniably, then looked at Su Hao and said slowly, "We, the Fools, are also investigating the matter of [Les]."

"It's just that the mastermind behind it is very well hidden, but I can find him out."

Arecino was confident that compared to the case of the girl's dissolution twenty years ago, the matter of "Les" was not particularly difficult.

Or rather, this kind of thing was a piece of cake for her.

"No need." Su Hao shook his head slightly and said, "You don't need to worry about it, because Vilette has taken over this matter."

“If you get involved, he might start to suspect that you Fools are the masterminds behind it all.”

Hearing Su Hao's words, Arecino was somewhat stunned. She asked in surprise, "The Supreme Judge Navelette actually took action herself?"

"It's unbelievable that he would actually take action for something like this."

To be honest, Arecino was a little surprised, because she didn't expect that Navelette would take the initiative to investigate this matter.

“If that’s the case, then we can rest assured.” Arecino became quite calm and said slowly, “Because if Vilette takes action, it means that the entire Fontaine will investigate [Less].

"Its efficiency is definitely much higher than that of the Fools."

D'Artagnan remained silent, for he did not deny that the Fatui were indeed a formidable intelligence force, renowned throughout the Teyvat continent.

However, if you want to investigate something in Fontainebleau, then the Fontainebleau government is definitely more powerful.

“It’s just that, in the current situation, Vilette has already made a move, but Fryna hasn’t yet. It’s truly sad,” Arecino said, shaking her head.

Her initial target for cooperation was actually Funina, because no matter what, the other party was the water goddess.

Because for hundreds of years Navigette's performance has always been fair and impartial, and... aside from judgment, the other party basically does nothing else.

This gave people the illusion that Navelette was a ruthless judgment machine.

Even if something unexpected happens to Fontaine, he will not interfere or intervene.

Fair and impartial, indifferent and ruthless—these two phrases both describe Navelette.

But to everyone's surprise, the most humane of them all, Funina, chose to stand by and do nothing.

Even the most indifferent and ruthless Navigette intervened immediately after realizing the seriousness of the situation.

At this moment, Su Hao was at a loss for words, because in Arecino's mind, Furnessa had completely become someone who viewed everything with indifference.

Hmm... that's also possible. Arecino might have figured something out and think that Fryna and Fucarus are connected.

Even after treating Funina this way, the water god Fucarus didn't lift a finger, which truly chilled the heart of this Fontaine citizen.

"Alright, I won't talk about these trivial matters anymore." Arecino seemed to understand that Su Hao had special feelings for Funina, so she didn't intend to continue talking about Funina.

If we continue, it won't just be a slap in the face to Funina, but also to Su Hao.

Since Su Hao has chosen to trust Funina, even if Arecino is dissatisfied with this "Water Goddess," she cannot keep belittling her.

Although what she said was true, some things can't be calculated that way.

Arecino looked at Su Hao and continued, "Actually, I have already shared the important information regarding the prophecy, and you already know some basic information as well."

"What I'm about to talk about is the history of Fontainebleau, although I don't know if it will be of any use."

"But I'll tell you first, and see if it can offer any value."

With that, Arecino began to recount the history of Fontaine, including the two major floods and the death of the first water god five hundred years ago.

And... a series of events after Fucarus became the second water god.

Su Hao, Ella, Hei Ella, Gan Yu, and Shen He listened with great interest, occasionally raising some questions.

Arecino also told everyone she knew.

After the history of Fontaine was told, Gan Yu asked Arecino why she built warships and why she arranged for so many people to bring in heavy weapons. Was it really just to solve the prophecy?

Arecino smiled slightly and, in response to Gan Yu's question, explained that it was indeed partly to deal with the prophecy.

On the other hand, it is also a deterrent force, because having something on hand is a different matter from not having something on hand.

If Fontaine is unwilling to accept her "proposal," then she doesn't mind using force to suppress Fontaine and force Navelette and Funina to make a decision.

Either join forces to deal with the prophecy, or fight the Fools before the prophecy begins!

The Fatui's reputation is already utterly ruined, so Arecino doesn't care anymore. Since you keep doubting me, then let's fight! Fight to the death!
