He came to Fontaine to look for Lu Sheng on the orders of Yae Shinto, but as soon as he entered the country, something big happened in Fontaine.

All unidentified foreigners must be arrested and questioned before being released, especially those who come during the winter.

I heard that it was Northland Bank’s doing.

It's really the colleague's fault that brings disaster upon himself.

Norman was caught as soon as he landed, all his magic props were confiscated, and he was locked up in jail, and he had to show proof of identity before he could be released.

Where do I get the proof? I am just a fool.

During this time, he thought of his good friend Linny and tried to ask Linny to rescue him, but he was told that Linny and his sister were injured and were being treated in the hospital.

Just when Norman was getting extremely anxious, the prison guard suddenly told him that someone had vouched for him and he could leave now.

Norman, who was confused, took his things and came out of the prison. When he saw the man who bailed him out, he shouted excitedly.

"Sir!!!"

Lu Sheng patted Norman on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I heard that the Shadow Chaser caught a guy who can change his face. I was wondering if it was you. I guessed it right."

"That's great, sir! It's really a piece of cake! Do you know how much effort we put into finding you? Miss Shenzi is almost going crazy!"

"It's okay. I've already sent the letter back. This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

Lu Sheng took Norman back home.

As soon as he entered the door, Norman saw a familiar face.

The Fatui guys stood at attention instantly.

He saluted Rosalin reflexively, "Hello, sir! Miss Rosalin is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Rosalyn smiled knowingly, picked up a cookie from the table and gave it to Norman.

"No candy this time, so let's be particular about the cookies."

Lu Sheng looked at the scene in confusion, "I get a reward for praising you for being beautiful? Then what about my reward?"

Rosalin glanced at him and explained, "What do you know? I have watched this child grow up. During festivals, I always bring some delicious food to the Hearth House. Only children who can say nice things can get prizes. As a result, the children's mouths have become quite sweet. However, they are only sweet to me. In front of Alechino, they are as timid as a puppy that has been criticized. As a result, she has been complaining to me all the time, hahaha."

I almost forgot, Norman is also one of the orphans of Hearth House.

"Come with me to the study." Lu Sheng called Norman to the study. "You came at the right time. I just need someone who can accurately convey my meaning to Xumi."

Norman couldn't help but complain, I just came to Fontainebleau, and I have to go back to Xumi again?

Alas, I was born to run errands.

"Go ahead sir, you tell me what to do and I'll do it."

Lu Sheng nodded, "Please remember this, I will make the following arrangements."

He pulled out a blueprint for a power armor from a drawer.

"Take this back to Xumi and hand it over to Victor in person. Ask him to put it into production as soon as possible. The power source can be temporarily replaced by elemental power."

"And tell Apep to come to me at Fontaine immediately."

"One last thing. Go find Senor and Elhaisen and tell them that it was the order of the Mushroom King. Ask them to gather two armored corps of the Imperial Guards and station them at the Fontaine border, ready to serve at any time."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more important thing. Tell Shenzi Lisa and Paimon that I am fine. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

Norman kept these words in mind. As a Fatui agent who had been trained since childhood, he still had some professionalism.

However, he did not execute the order immediately, but seemed hesitant, as if he had something to say.

Lu Sheng saw his embarrassment and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Norman scratched his head and said truthfully: "Sir... You don't know, Linnie and I grew up together. I heard that they were injured and in the hospital. I want to go visit them first..."

"Well, we have to go and see."

Lu Sheng took out a heavy bag of Mora from the drawer and threw it to Norman.

"Since it's a visit, you can't be too shabby. Buy some nice gifts and spend the rest of the money on your own. Remember, be tactful about what to say and what not to say."

Norman was overjoyed. He had originally just wanted to get permission from his superior to take a short vacation before carrying out the mission. He had not expected that the Lord Fool would directly give him so much money to allow him to visit his friends.

I followed the right person!

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! I know what to do! Don't worry, sir!"

Norman ran out happily and ran into Rosalin in the living room. He quickly restrained his expression, bowed respectfully, and hurried away.

Rosalin teased Lu Sheng, "You are very good at commanding people. Do you know that Norman's military rank is higher than yours?"

"What? There is such a thing?"

Rosalin explained with a sly smile: "Debt handlers are just ordinary soldiers. The children selected by Hearth House graduate as corporals. How can you compare with them?"

Lu Sheng smiled jokingly, "So what? Not only can I command him, I can also command you. Go, cook two dishes for me."

Rosalyn was unmoved.

"You're not listening, are you? Then go sleep outside alone tonight."

"Lu Sheng! I'm warning you not to go too far! I can't even cook! Change your request!"

"You're useless! You've lived in vain at this age. Go make a fire for me, I'll do it!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Clorinde ran in excitedly, "Master! The work of the Shadow Chaser Court is finally done, I can..."

Before she could finish her words, Clorinde saw Rosalin and instantly went on alert, drawing her sword and demanding, "Why are you here?!"

The identity of this Fatui executive is no longer a secret. Now the entire Fontaine has developed an extremely strong sentiment of rejection of the Winter People, and Clorinde is no exception.

"I haven't violated the Fontaine Law. I can be wherever I want."

"There was an explosion in the Fatui mansion, many people were killed and injured, and the diplomat Alechino disappeared mysteriously. Tell me, is this a drama directed and performed by you? Do you want to get out of Fontaine unscathed?"

Speaking of this, Rosalin became angry and questioned Clorinde: "How dare you say that? Someone attacked the ambassador's mansion and kidnapped Alechino, but your Fontaine's defense didn't react at all! You even turned around and said that we directed and acted in it ourselves. Who would risk their own life to act in a play?"

Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the quarrel became more and more fierce.

Rosalin suddenly took Lu Sheng's arm and taunted Clorinde, "You called him Master just now, right? Then shouldn't you also call me Master..."

Lu Sheng held Rosalin's head and pushed her away, explaining, "Stop arguing! Clorinde, this Miss Rosalin is my client. I have already taken over the case of Ambassador Arlechino's disappearance."

Fontaine: Chapter 173: The Prophecy is Coming

After hearing her master's explanation, Clorinde calmed down, put her sword back into the scabbard, walked forward rashly, and squeezed through between Lu Sheng and Rosaline.

She glared at Rosaline with a righteous look, warning her: "A client should behave like a client. Don't make a move. Don't use your seductive appearance to achieve your goal. My master is not someone who will be easily seduced by beauty."

Lu Sheng felt very relieved.

My dear disciple, you are right! You are absolutely right!

Although the master also desires your body, he is not someone who will be easily tempted by beauty.

In the words of the Dragon King: I despise all beauties.

Let’s not talk about the ones that are too beautiful for now.

Clorinde turned to look at Lu Sheng and asked worriedly, "Master, do you really want to accept her commission? Don't just trust the words of the Fatui."

"Detectives have no position. The commission depends on whether they have the ability to accept it. I have already promised Miss Rosalin, so what I have to do next is to find Arlecino. Besides, Miss Rosalin is no longer an executive officer."

"What?" Clorinde asked in surprise, "You quit the Fatui? As far as I know, once you join the Fatui, you can't voluntarily quit unless you die. Those who betrayed you have all suffered extreme retaliation without exception. I have never heard of anyone who quit the Fatui and got away with it."

Rosalin shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you think I am willing? It was because Arlecchino killed Pantalone in order to give you Fontaine an explanation. I also participated in this matter, although I was forced to do so. But now Pantalone is dead and Arlecchino has been captured. No one can prove my innocence. If I continue to stay in the Fatui, I will definitely be used as a scapegoat."

"Although Pantalone is only the ninth seat, his importance to Solstice is beyond your imagination. Once he dies, Solstice's economy will immediately come to a halt, and the country will be in chaos. When the time comes, the Queen will be furious and start a massacre. Who can speak up for me?"

Clorinde sneered, "Haha! The Winter Rebellion is what you deserve. It's your fault that you, the Fatui, have been destroying other people's countries and sucking their blood. This is just a belated retribution!"

Rosaline shrugged and said nonchalantly, "So what? I'm not from Zhidong. Even if Zhidong is destroyed, I won't shed a single tear for it."

Clorinde was so angry at Rosalin's shameless attitude that she said directly: "Anyway, if the Winter Solstice asks us to hand you over, Fontaine will not provide you with any political asylum."

After saying that, she walked away without looking back.

"You are such a bad woman with such a bad temper. You will never be able to get married!"

Lu Sheng found it quite funny to hear Rosalin saying bad things about Clorinde behind her back.

The main reason was that her insulting words didn't sound like those from a Fatui executive. Instead, they sounded like those from a little girl who complained in private after losing an argument.

There's a wonderful sense of contrast.

"You're not much better." He said tactlessly.

Rosalin raised her head, "That's different. No one wants her, but I still have her. What? You don't want to acknowledge her after she puts on pants?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? It's what you think it means!"

"Then you have to get in line first."

"That doesn't exist. I just need to kill them all."

Oh my god, what perverted remarks, I’m scared.

But if you think about it carefully, those guys are tough guys. It seems that Rosaline can't beat any of them, right?

Just don’t let the classic be reproduced and then be slapped to death by the Son of God.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about those annoying things. Let's talk about business. How do you plan to find Alechino?"

"Ah!" Lu Sheng suddenly slapped his forehead, "I forgot about this!"

He immediately grabbed his coat, rushed out of the house and headed straight for Fontaine Hospital.

In the ward, Norman bought a bunch of things to visit his friend.

Linnie was very happy to see his friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Even the pain in his body was much less. He curiously asked Norman where he was working recently.

Norman was very cautious and kept his superior's advice in mind, so he had to lie to his friend.

"Haha, I've been free recently, so I went around and saw a lot, and gained a lot of knowledge."

He quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how did you guys get injured? Where's your father?"

The faces of the Linney brothers and sisters quickly turned gloomy, and they told Norman what had happened.

"What! Father is missing!"

Norman jumped up anxiously.

In fact, Lini and his companions did not know the details. They only knew that someone attacked the mansion and they were knocked unconscious in an instant. They learned the news of their father's disappearance from the officials of Fontainebleau.

Just then, Lu Sheng rushed to the ward.

He called Norman out, and judging from the frown on his face, Norman must have known about Arlecino's disappearance.

"Sir... Why didn't you tell me about my father's disappearance? The lady had such a good relationship with my father, how could she..."

Lu Sheng comforted her, "Ma'am, you came to me to talk to me about this matter. I came to you right away. Let me ask you, do you want to know the whereabouts of your father?"

"Yeah! Of course!"

"Then add one more command to the one I gave you. Go back to Xumi immediately to find Mona and the old woman and ask them to use astrology to find the whereabouts of Arecino. If they find out, tell Apep and have her bring the result to Fontaine."

"Yes! Understood!"

Norman realized the urgency of the situation, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Linny and the others and set out on his journey back to Xumi.

Lu Sheng then walked into the ward and gave Lin Ni and others a reassurance.

"On behalf of the lady, I have something to say to you. Just leave your father's affairs to her. You children don't need to worry about it. Just stay here and recover. Your father will come back."

After that, Fontaine spent a relatively peaceful period.

It's not that Lu Sheng doesn't want to take the initiative to attack, but he has too little knowledge of the abyss. Those sinners use the abyss to open portals and drill in and out every day, and no one knows when and where they will come out with their weird looks.

It feels like Dante, who was feeling powerless as he watched Virgil pass the Yama Sword around all day.

This is what is called the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light.

Even though they knew that the culprit that caused the Fontaine flood was the Star-Eating Whale, because it was in the abyss, they were unable to kill it in advance to prevent the sea water from rising.

The only cheat I have is Mona's astrology.

As long as Alechino is still in this world, astrology will definitely find her. After all, Mona is not an ordinary astrologer, not to mention that there is the old lady Barbiros, so there will be no problem.
