Ying and Kuki Shinobu nodded slightly, despite their different stances and the fact that Tadalia had attacked them multiple times.

But it must be admitted that as a friend, D'Artagnan is very generous.

He really gave Mora a lot of money, and a huge amount at that!

As long as it doesn't involve the overall interests of the Fools, D'Artagnan would even volunteer to be a henchman to help.

The events at the Abyss of the Rocks demonstrate that Tartaglia was a competent comrade-in-arms.

The events involving the release of the Eight Dragons and Oser demonstrate that Tartaglia is extremely loyal to the Fools and the Winter Queen.

"Oh?" Arecino gave a strange smile. She was well aware of the relationship between D'Artagnan and the group of people in front of her.

But regardless, there were travelers from outside the Teyvat continent, a shrine maiden from the island of Haiqi, and a ninja who had always followed Su Hao.

And the most important one.

Sumeru Grass God - Little Auspicious Grass King.

Arecino's mind started racing; capturing Marcellus was only a matter of time.

How can I find a way to keep them in Fontainebleau in order to deal with the upcoming Fontainebleau prophecy crisis?

Chapter 574 Naxida's Method: Substitute!

"What's going on now?"

Su Hao looked at Arecino and asked her how she was doing.

Shen He is not good with words, and the information she provides is always very, very direct.

For example, Shen He said the phrase "the Fools couldn't find Masele" at least seven or eight times in the chat group.

Whenever anyone asks her about her current situation, she only says this, or... there are no more clues now.

So instead of asking Shen He, it's better to ask Arecino directly; she definitely knows what the situation is.

“It’s not particularly good, but it’s not particularly bad either.” Arecino crossed her arms and looked at Su Hao with a smile. “The situation isn’t particularly good because we still haven’t caught Marcellus.”

"There is a lot of evidence against Marcell, but if Marcell himself is not caught, then this evidence is basically useless."

"But compared to all that, your joining us is really great. I believe that with your help, capturing Marcell or Vasher will be a very simple matter."

Arecino seemed to think that as long as Su Hao and the others helped, capturing Marcel and Vasher would be a very simple matter.

If Paimon were here, after Arecino said that, he would probably pat his chest and say, "You have great taste!"

Without hesitation, he agreed and began helping the Fools search for Marcel's whereabouts.

After all... everyone already knows what Marcellus did through the notes that Su Hao and Ella found.

Such a heinous criminal will not be let off by anyone with a sense of justice.

"Any clues?" Hishi Shinobu remained calm. Although she hadn't rested for two days, her mind was still sharp.

Arecino shook her head slightly, indicating that she had no clues. If she had any clues, she would have already followed them.

Are we really going to wait here for Su Hao and the others to come and provide support? The Fools have quite a few elites on their side. As long as we give them a little clue, we can follow the trail and find the source.

But the problem is... there are no clues at all. Not a single clue.

Perhaps it was due to long-standing caution, or perhaps it was the storm that struck Carres back then that put Marcellus under unimaginable pressure, causing him to erase all traces of himself.

No one among Marcel's men knows where he is hiding. Neither the publicly known Gabriel Merchant Guild nor the secret leaders of the Saleis Group know where their boss has gone.

"Even for us, finding someone without any clues is no easy task."

Coral Palace Heart Sea also expressed that they were helpless; if they really had no information at all, how were they supposed to find it?

"The only clue now is that Marcel has not left Fontaine, or even Fontaine.

Gan Yu spoke up at this moment, glancing at Arecino and continuing, "But the Fools' ability to move around in Fontaine will be greatly limited; investigating the Cabrière Merchant Guild is already their limit."

"The organization responsible for the full investigation of Fontaine is the Fontaine Police Force."

Arecino nodded slightly. After all, although Vilette had given the Fools special privileges, the ones who truly had those privileges were the Fontaine Guard.

They are the true privileged ones, but in Arecino's view, the Fontaine Guard currently consists of only a few respectable members.

The others are either good-for-nothings or ordinary, unremarkable people.

Arecino was just that picky, or rather, after witnessing the combat prowess of the Fools and their elite troops, she really didn't take ordinary members of official organizations seriously.

Even within the Knights of Favonius, only a few members are worth mentioning; the rest are simply not worth discussing.

In the Seven Kingdoms, only the Thousand Rock Army can earn Arecino's applause and praise, and be considered worthy of competing with the Fools, in terms of overall quality.

As for other official organizations, such as the Inazuma Shogunate Army, the Sumeru Disciplinary Committee, and the Fontaine Guard, they should not try to cause trouble.

"They didn't leave Fontaine? Such a big place... how are we supposed to find them?" Ying frowned slightly, feeling that it would be difficult. After all, such a big place, even if they searched room by room, it would probably be too late by then.

"There's a way." X2

At this moment, Nasita and Black Ella spoke at the same time.

This surprised Nasita and Black Ella slightly, then they both said in unison, "You go first." x2

This situation surprised Arecino, but at the same time, she smiled with interest, wondering how long their repeated conversation could last.

Su Hao then pointed directly at Naxida and said, "Naxida, what ideas do you have?"

As the goddess of wisdom, Narcissus might actually come up with some ideas to expose Masele.

“There are two points.” Nasita looked at everyone and said slowly, “The first is very simple, that is, to use my power to force the people in the Fontaine region into a state of sleep.”

"With my abilities, I can probably find out who Marcell is in two or three hours. All I need is his appearance."

Black Ella nodded slightly, then suddenly said, "I'm pretty much the same. I use my shadow powers to cover the entire Fontaine. Within this area, no one can escape my perception."

Upon hearing Narcida and Black Ella's words, Arecino and Su Hao shook their heads in unison, indicating that it was unlikely.

“Villette will not agree,” Su Hao said with some helplessness.

“Yes.” Arecino nodded in agreement, and complained, “That guy is an old-fashioned person. He will never compromise on this kind of thing, and this kind of thing is not something that can be allowed in any divine kingdom.”

Yes, this is really outrageous. If this were done outside the main city area, then there probably wouldn't be any problem.

But if you play like that in the main city area, then things will get much worse.

Yes, this is a really big deal. You see, when the Order of the Fathers was secretly causing trouble, they also did it at midnight, using the void device to harvest batches of energy.

But once this was exposed, the reputation of the Faculty of Teachings plummeted. Scholars and sages were killed, and few people spoke ill of it.

This shows that if Nasida and Black Ella dared to play those games, things would get exposed.

Therefore, Fontaine will definitely face unimaginable pressure, and this immense pressure refers to the pressure on morale.

If they dare to do this today for D'Artagnan, the executor of the Fools, what would happen tomorrow for some other being? Wouldn't they turn the entire Fontainebleau upside down?!

Yes, that's just how realistic it is. D'Artagnan wouldn't allow Navelette to directly disrupt the order of Fontaine.

Going to war with Winter Solstice or the Fools would definitely result in heavy casualties on both sides.

If things were done that way in Fontainebleau, it would mean losing the hearts of the people, and order would cease to exist.

Of course, if Nasita and Black Ella manage to find Masele without anyone noticing, then Navelette will probably turn a blind eye.

Unfortunately, this is impossible; it's impossible to do something over such a large area without making a sound.

Su Hao also has a way to find Massele: he can use Istaru's power to travel through time and space to go back two days and catch Massele offline.

Yes, this method is incredibly audacious and will definitely attract the attention of that Ishtar.

The ability to stop time, if used to throw a small stone into the ocean, would at most create a slight ripple, not attracting much attention.

However, using the ability to travel through time and space would undoubtedly result in a meteorite impact on Earth, which would be noticed by everyone.

For D'Addarja's sake, Su Hao felt it wasn't necessary to go to such lengths; at worst, he could make things difficult for him and have him imprisoned.

"What's the second method?" Su Hao looked at Nasita and continued to ask, "You just said there were two points. If this method won't work, what is the second method?"

Arecino also turned her attention to Narcida, wanting to see what good ideas this goddess of wisdom could come up with.

Everyone's attention is focused on Nasita. The situation is very tense right now, and to be honest, finding Maselle before the Datalia trial is a difficult problem.

They know he did everything, but they can't find him, and it's very troublesome to convict him.

If no one else can be found, then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, D'Artagnan will be thrown in as a scapegoat.

Since all the evidence now points to him, once the Fontaine trial begins, someone will have to be declared guilty.

Given the huge uproar, Villette couldn't openly side with the Fools forever; she had to be truly selfless.

"It's very simple."

Nasita gave a harmless smile and looked at the crowd, saying, "We can create a 'Masele' to make him confess. That way, he'll be considered to have confessed publicly. If he comes forward..."

When Naxida said this, everyone was stunned.

"A stand-in?" Su Hao sighed, realizing he hadn't really thought about that.

However, Nasita's method is, in a sense, truly ingenious!

After Marcel confessed, whether it was true or false, D'Artagnan was cleared of suspicion and nothing happened.

As for Villette? Based on the evidence from all sides, he probably knows that Marcel is the mastermind behind everything, so he will definitely acquiesce to it all.

D'Artagnan was exonerated, and Marcel was convicted. All that remains is to find him, and everything will be fine.

Wouldn't it be better if, during the trial, when [Marcelle] pleads guilty, the real Marcelle came forward?

Anyway, the Fools already have a terrible reputation, so one more time won't make a difference. In other countries, people might maliciously assume that the Fools were behind it all and refuse to listen to their explanations.

But the people of Fontainebleau are rather peculiar; their thought processes are different from those of people in other countries, so they are bound to have a lot more to think about.

For example, the Fools created a fake Marcellus in order to force out the real Marcellus.

The evidence is all real. The Fools have found almost all the evidence except for Marcellus himself.

The Fools have even found crucial evidence of selling Les, framing Carles, and dissolving people into water.

Similarly, the Fontaine Police Force has also sealed off the headquarters of LOS and found a great deal of evidence inside.

"Very good, very good." Arecino smiled, clapped again, and exclaimed, "As expected of the God of Wisdom, your words have made me realize... sometimes, some low-level methods may be more effective than we imagine."

Is this method low-level? Yes, it's extremely low-level! All you need to do is find a "scapegoat" to take the blame.
