Old Jack nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll remember that."

"Well, go back to work. Don't let anyone know that I'm leaving." Wang Que ordered again.

Old Jack nodded heavily, then turned and left.

……

In the early morning, Fontaine was shrouded in mist. Wang Que walked out of the Buffati Mansion carrying a carefully prepared gift box.

His first stop was the Momang Palace—Sedna was at the reception desk, and her rabbit-like fin-like ears stood up sharply when she heard footsteps.

"Mr. Wang Que!" Mei Luxin showed a surprised expression. "Why are you here? Are you here to see Master Villette?"

Wang Que shook his head and squatted down to look her in the eye: "I'm going back to Liyue."

As he spoke, he took out a Liyue-style mechanical music box.

"This is a music box I made myself. It's a farewell gift for you."

Sedna's pupils instantly dilated into stars, but she immediately rubbed her fingers together nervously. "But Master Villette said we can't accept expensive gifts."

"It's not expensive. I made it myself."

Wang Que stuffed the music box into Meilushin's arms, then stood up and asked, "Is Villette in the office?"

Sedna held the gift and nodded: "Yes."

"Are you free now? I'll go find him." Wang Que asked.

Sedna: "It's still early, not during working hours, so Lord Villette should be free. Mr. Wang Que and I will come."

She put the gift away, then skipped and led the way for Wang Que. It was obvious that she was quite happy.

Knock on the door and enter the High Inquisitor's office.

That Villette was having her morning tea.

His morning tea is also different from others. Others' morning tea is either black tea or coffee.

And Vielette's morning tea is just water.

This supreme judge is a master of water tasting.

"Then Mr. Villette, I came to say goodbye."

Wang Que greeted with a smile,

Sedna left and returned to her work.

"Leaving?" Villette put down her teacup and glanced at the gift box in his hand. "If it's a farewell gift, forget it. I'm planning to update the restrictions on gifts for civil servants..."

Wang Que had given them Liyue tea before.

Later, Villette went to find out the price of the tea.

Then he was ready to update the law.

Although tea looks inconspicuous, it is really expensive.

“It’s just a little gift I made myself.”

Wang Que opened the box, revealing a beautiful Meilushin ornament. "I made it by hand, I hope you like it."

Villette might refuse anything else, but not the Melusin ornaments.

Oh my god, who can resist the lovely Mei Luxin.

The cold and hard face gradually melted, and Villette subconsciously took the gift box from Wang Que.

When he reacted, he said in a somewhat concealed manner: "Thank you..."

Wang Que waved his hand and said, "Please pass this to Ms. Funina for me."

He took out another small box and placed it on the desk.

"It's a recipe for tea. I think Ms. Funina will like it."

Of course it’s not the tea recipe of Qiaoying Zhuang, that’s their craftsmanship.

This is the formula deduced by Wang Que himself.

Still the old saying.

Cooking is also a kind of alchemy.

Then making snacks is natural as well.

As long as it is the combination and reaction of substances, it falls into the category of alchemy ()!

Therefore, as an alchemy master, it is normal to be able to cook. Similarly, it is reasonable to deduce a snack recipe!

Navrette was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll pass it on to Ms. Funina."

He remembered again that Funina prepared a gift for Wang Que but didn't give it to him.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Villette, how do you deal with the gangs in Soft Light Harbor?"

Wang Que suddenly asked.

That Villette: "Leave it to the Shadow Chaser Court, what's wrong?"

"I'm going home from over there. If the gang is still rampant, I can help." Wang Que said with a smile.

Villette couldn't tell whether Wang Que really wanted to help or was just mocking or provoking him.

He frowned slightly, then shook his head: "No need for help, don't worry, your way back will be smooth."

"Haha, that's good."

Wang Que waved his hand and said, "Then I'll leave first. I still have to say goodbye to some other friends."

Navelette nodded: "Slow down."

After Wang Que left.

That Villette called the people from the Shadow Chaser Court.

"What's the situation at Soft Light Harbor?"

The officials of the Shadow Chasing Court were somewhat puzzled as to why the Supreme Inquisitor would specifically ask this, but they quickly replied, "We mobilized our forces to crack down on the Novelty Pants Club, significantly deterring local gangs and improving social order in Soft Light Harbor. The Governor of Soft Light Harbor has sent a letter expressing gratitude."

After hearing this, Villette breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Wang Que would go to Roudeng Port and meet a group of gangsters again.

That would be so embarrassing.

Fontaine's reputation as a country of justice and law can be discarded.

……

On the other side, Wang Que left Mo Mang Palace. He didn't know about Villette's worries.

In fact, he just said it casually and didn't mean to be sarcastic.

He was now heading towards the Beaumont workshop.

Wang Que didn't know many people in Fontaine.

And Estelai from Beaumont Workshop is one of them. Wang Que has exchanged techniques with her and benefited a lot from her.

From a distance, Wang Que heard the roar of machinery in the workshop.

Estelai was debugging a new differential engine, and her gloves were still stained with engine oil when she saw Wang Que.

"Hey, Mr. Wang Que, how come you have time to come to my place?"

She pulled the brake and the machine tool immediately quieted down. She wiped off the engine oil and greeted Wang Que.

"You had quite a big incident a few days ago. Is everything alright now?"

Wang Que approached and said, "It's all right now. I'm about to leave Fontaine and came to give you a farewell gift."

Taking out a rectangular sandalwood box and handing it over, Wang Que said, "This is Liyue's Thousand Machine Lock, a type of mechanical device. I hope you like it."

Estelai took it with some surprise: "Mechanical Engineering, I like this!"

When she discussed the immortal family's mechanical techniques with Wang Que before, she had a feeling that she liked them very much.

Now that Wang Que gave her this gift, she naturally liked it even more.

The two chatted for a while before Wang Que said goodbye, as he had somewhere else to go today.

After leaving the workshop, the next stop is the Thorn Rose Society’s base in Fontaine.

However, this was also Wang Que's first time visiting this place.

The gray land of Fontaine, the gray river.

To get to the Gray River, you need to go through the sewer entrance.

Of course, you don’t have to go through the sewer entrance on the road, but instead take the special maintenance passage.

The Grey River carries not only the darkness of Fontaine, but also the filth of Fontaine.

The entire city's sewage is discharged by the Hui River.

So, when Wang Que came here, his first impression was that the air had a strange smell.

It can’t be said to be smelly, but it definitely doesn’t smell good.

However, people here seem to have gotten used to it.

Compared to the people in the upper city, the people in Gray River seem to be more down-hearted in spirit.

However, there is no longer that hurried feeling of cattle and horses.

Wang Que couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

Probably due to the revival of the old factory.

Wang Que also gained some fame in Huihe (the Cimei Society recruited workers from Huihe and used Wang Que's name).

Wang Que was quickly recognized as he walked along the Huihe River, and everyone greeted him warmly.

There is no other way. People like this who can bring jobs to everyone must be warmly welcomed.

Wang Que then stated his purpose, that he came to find Navia.

Everyone took Wang Que to the base of the Thorn Rose Society.

Wang Que was quite familiar with the stronghold, as it was the place where Navia provided accommodation for travelers in the game.

Next to the tavern.

This large group of people quickly attracted the attention of the Rose Society members.

When Wang Que arrived, Navia was already waiting, with Silver and Myles standing on both sides like two door gods.

"Mr. Wang Que, why are you here in Huihe?"

Navia greeted Wang Que, while Silver and Myles entertained the others.

It’s called a treat, but in fact it’s just a cup of tea.

This is the most common hospitality in Gray River.

"I'm about to leave Fontaine, so I came to say goodbye to you."

Wang Que said as he took out a wooden box: "This is the talisman I made. It has the effect of protecting your body and life. It can be regarded as a parting gift."

"You are going to investigate Mr. Cares's affairs, and you will definitely encounter some dangers. This can protect you."

Navia was stunned and didn't react.

In fact, the relationship between the two was not deep, and it was even just some "business" cooperation.

However, Wang Que prepared a gift for her, which was a protective treasure.

This made Navia feel a little warm.

After the Carres incident, she was still taken care of by the elders of the Thorn Rose Society.

But it was a long time ago that I received kindness from outsiders.

Oh, no, the last time she showed kindness was when she was communicating with Wang Que, and Wang Que was willing to believe her father.

After a moment of daze, Navia smiled again and took the wooden box: "Then I'll accept it."
