Yes, Lady Funina!

After leaving the house, Linnett did not feel frustrated or ignored. The girl's eyes flickered. Recalling Richard's performance in front of Alice just now, she seemed to understand the direction of future strategies.

We must build a good relationship with Ms. Alice!

PS: I will save some drafts to prevent mycoplasma from interrupting my full attendance. If nothing unexpected happens, I should update it at the end of the month, that's it!

Volume 76: Chapter : Capture the fox first, then marry Ming Shen!

"The original fetal sea water is the reason why Nico guided me to Fontaine?" Richard asked.

"Yes, but not entirely. The original fetal sea water is indeed helpful to you, but the effect it can have on you is actually not as great as you imagine." Alice's voice became serious for once.

"You need to go to the alien space on this planet where the original fetal water was born. Only the fetal water at the core can make you perfect."

"I think you should have guessed your origins by now, right? Of course, no matter what, you will always be my good nephew, and this will never change."

Richard was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Then tell me how to get there!"

"Ahahaha... I don't know." Alice was shocked in a second.

For a moment, the office became dead silent.

"Say something, the atmosphere is so awkward if you don't say anything!" Alice complained.

"I understand. So Ms. Alice, you don't just know the original fetal sea water, right?" Richard said helplessly.

"You don't even call me aunt? How realistic!" Alice complained again, and then added another sentence.

"Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. When the time comes, you will naturally know how to get to the alien space that gave birth to the fetal sea water. Before that, just enjoy the journey."

"I'm working……"

"Going to work... of course going to work can also be considered a kind of travel. You see, traveling can broaden your horizons and abilities. Going to work... going to work should be okay too, right?" Alice paused. She felt that this was a bit far-fetched, so she abruptly changed the subject.

"When are you going to go see Shenzi? You flirted with her and ran away. Then you haven't come back to Inazuma for more than a hundred years. It was she who took the initiative to look for you this time. No wonder she was so angry."

"You should know my situation at that time."

"Indeed, at that time you refused to see me and I don't know where you hid yourself."

"Feel sorry."

"No need to apologize. After all, under that situation, I can understand your choice."

Alice knew that Richard discovered some truths about the world in Inazuma, and also learned some about her own life experience. It was normal for her to not be able to accept it for a while and want to be alone.

When Alice brought him back home as a child, she knew this day would come.

Fortunately, Richard found himself and was not affected by his past life. This made Alice feel relieved and happy.

After all, she raised the child alone, and Richard was no different from her own son.

"So when are you planning on going to Inazuma?"

"Why do you care so much about this?"

"This... well, you see, Yae Shinko and I have been friends for many years, isn't it normal for me to ask for her?"

"Does she have any evidence against you?"

"How is this possible! I...I..."

"Capsized in the gutter?"

"That's impossible! I was just giving in to her, and... and who knew that after not seeing her for so many years, she could drink so much..." Alice muttered something difficult to understand, such as "This is a false intelligence, not Zhan's fault." "Next time, next time I will definitely teach that fox a lesson!"

"He was drunk, exposed his ugly appearance, and then was caught by the camera." Richard guessed.

"How, how do you know? Did she tell you? No, could it be that you two have teamed up to plot against me?" Alice was shocked.

Although I didn't see her in person, I guess Alice must be sweating profusely at this moment.

"I guessed it. So you, who were caught in the act, became Inazuma's lobbyist?"

"The term lobbyist is too harsh. This is the elders' concern for the younger generation. Do you understand what concern means?"

"No elder would force a younger generation to drink. Aunt, do you still remember how you treated Yae Shinzi?" Richard felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it.

When Richard first arrived at Inazuma, he didn't know the relationship between his unreliable aunt and Yae Miko. Alice told him to just mention her name when he went to Inazuma, because she knew them there and her name would be very useful.

Young Richard foolishly believed Alice's lies and gave her name when he got off the boat and was going through the island boarding procedures.

As a result, within a quarter of an hour, he was taken to the Narukami Taisha Shrine, and that was his first meeting with Yae Kamiko.

The result of the first meeting was not pleasant. Richard admitted that the pink-haired fox's electricity was indeed stronger than his own.

Thanks to Alice, Richard changed his hairstyle as soon as he arrived at Inazuma, with an ion perm, which was very trendy.

It was not until he became familiar with Yae Shinto that he gradually learned from Shinto why she treated him that way when they first met.

After hearing Richard's words, Alice snorted coldly: "Do you remember how much bread you have eaten?"

"Okay, then you just need to know that the Son of God who has caught you will treat you the same way you treated her."

——It is never too late for a fox to take revenge.

"No way, we've already reached an agreement."

"Agreement?" Richard noticed the key word.

"I meant we reconciled," Alice corrected herself.

"Reconciliation? Can she let you go so easily?" Richard didn't believe it. No one knew better than him how difficult the Son of God was.

"Of course, given her feelings for you, she would be very happy if she just shared some information about you."

"My information, wait, you wouldn't..." Richard suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Show her your childhood photo."

"How come you still have photos of me when I was a kid? Didn't I take them all away?"

"Kid, don't you know that I always keep backups of my precious photos? A cunning rabbit has three burrows, didn't I teach you that before?" Alice said proudly with a sharp voice, as if she had won some victory.

Richard's face was numb. Of course he knew this, but he didn't expect that he had searched all the places he could and found three hidden backups. He didn't expect that Alice still had a backup.

"Old ginger is still wise. Young boy, you still have a lot to learn." Alice said with a smile.

Richard immediately hit back: "You were fooled by the fox."

Yae Kamiko is not an old hand, she is of the same age as Richard.

"That was an accident! If it happens again..."

"You've been tricked by the fox."

"I'll get my revenge!"

"You've been tricked by the fox!"

"Beep, beep..." There was a busy tone from the carrier bird, as if some angry guy on the other end had hung up.

Richard let out a long sigh upon seeing this, feeling extremely exhausted. His scalp went numb at the thought of how stupid he was when he was young and was seen by the Son of God.

Inazuma and the like...it’s better not to go.

"Remember to go visit Inazuma. I don't remember raising you to be a scumbag who deceives girls' feelings." The carrier bird came back to life, and Alice's voice came suddenly.

"You didn't hang up!"

"..."

There was no reply, it seemed that the communication was completely disconnected.

Richard shook his head and opened the envelope that was lying quietly on his desk and had lost its magic and turned into an ordinary letter.

He took out the letter that Alice actually sent to him. The letter mentioned Kelly and the original fetal sea water. It was almost the same as what was said during the phone call just now. The only difference was that it was more detailed and gave Richard more clues to understand the original fetal sea water.

If he is interested, he can search for it himself according to the clues given by Alice.

Apart from that, there were some gossips about family life and some interesting things she had encountered recently. It felt like a parent working away from home writing a letter to a left-behind child. Richard wondered if he was writing this letter while also writing a letter to Kelly.

After skipping these words, Richard saw a photo interspersed in the end of the letter.

The photo shows a charming woman in a white wedding dress and exquisite makeup. The charm revealed in the photo alone is enough to make one's breath stop and make people reluctant to look away.

Even Richard looked at it for a long time before he came to his senses and carefully put the photo away.

"Are you tempted? It's better to take action than to be tempted. My lovely nephew, let's take down the little fox first, and then join forces to seize Ming Shen's position. We will take Ming Shen and her followers into our family and make them my nephew's wives!"

Richard: ...

Are you hanging up or not?

Richard didn't care whether Alice was listening on the other end of the letter or not. He just picked up the letter and stuffed it into the drawer, physically isolating the call.

On the other end of the letter, Alice seemed to know that Richard had put the letter into the drawer, and then she hung up the phone completely.

The ageless witch leaned back, stretched comfortably, and said to herself: "Little Richard, what are you going to do in the end if you keep flirting with so many women? Choose more than one? Take them all? Well, it doesn't matter. For me, the more nephews and wives the better."

At least we don't have to worry about Richard starting a family in the future.

On the other side, after Richard put the letter into the drawer, he called Linnet and asked her to arrange for a few secretaries to go to the Fontaine Library to borrow the book about the original fetal sea water that Alice mentioned.

Just when Linnet was about to distribute the tasks, Richard suddenly called her again.

"By the way, bring back the borrowing records of these books and see if there are any suspicious people on them."

After all, the group that was able to use the original fetal sea water to make "Les" might have also learned about the original fetal sea water in this way.

"I see."

Linnet agreed, and soon several secretaries brought back the books.

These books all looked quite old, and except for historians, basically no one would think of borrowing such books, so there was no chance that they were borrowed by others first.

At the same time, the borrowing records of these books were also placed on Richard's desk.

Because these books are not popular, few people borrow them, and the borrowing records over the past decade or so only add up to a few pages.

After cross-checking the names of the borrowers of these books, Richard finally discovered that these books had all been borrowed by an adventurer named "Vasher".

Richard's intuition told him that there must be something fishy about this adventurer named 'Vash', so he sent someone to the Adventurer's Association to ask the members of the association for details about this person.

"Has he disappeared more than ten years ago..." Richard learned that this adventurer named 'Vash' had been reported missing to the Adventurer's Association more than ten years ago and there has been no news since then.

The association had issued a commission at the beginning, but after sending people to conduct search and rescue operations to no avail, the matter was dropped.

After all, in the adventurer industry, disappearance is very normal.

"More than ten years ago, if I remember correctly, that was when the case of missing girls started." Linette thought for a moment and said to Richard.

"Could this be a coincidence?" Richard didn't believe it. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

"Do you need me to go ask the Fatui?"

"Well, please." Richard nodded, and then asked, "Also ask Femini if ​​she is free."

"Femini? He should be preparing a performance with his brother recently. The Pod Hotel invited them to perform for the guests who dine there. It's a routine performance that happens several times every month."

"You have something to do with him?"

"Well, some questions about diving. Alice told me several places where there may be primordial fetal sea water. Some of them are underwater, but the specific locations are not clear yet. I need a professional to provide me with a deep diving map of the waters near Fontaine."

As Femini is a senior diver of Fontaine and they are old acquaintances, it is obviously appropriate to consult him on relevant issues.

"I understand. I'll go back to Hearth House tonight." Seeing that the original fetal sea water seemed to be very important to Richard, Linnet immediately switched to sports mode and became resolute and efficient.

"Of course, if Femini is busy, you can ask him to help mark a few areas, and I can go find them by myself afterwards."

"Are you going alone?"

"You can come along if you want, but it's not an easy job. You have to go into the sea."

"I'll go ask Femini if ​​she's free first."

Linnet's beautiful eyes flickered, but she didn't agree right away.

——————

"Is it enough to just mark a few areas on the map? The underwater environment is complicated. How about I go with you?" Femini said.

He wondered if he could use this excuse to skip his performance at the Pod Hotel in a few days. To be honest, he was really not good at facing the gazes of strangers.

If possible, he would rather dive, so that he can help Mr. Richard without having to face the audience, which would be great.

"What about your brother? You've been rehearsing for a long time, right? A two-person magic trick can't work without either of them, right?" Linnet asked three fatal questions, which made Femini give up the idea.

"Okay, okay. Then you guys be careful." Femini said hesitantly.
