Tartaglia rushed forward again. This time, it took him less than three seconds before a flash of lightning suddenly erupted among the group of sailors. The sailors' eyes rolled back and they fainted on the floor.

In an instant, the only people left conscious in the cabin were Lu Xiu, the cook, and the group of powerless bidders.

Tartaglia just glanced over and the bidders trembled in fear, and the cook even collapsed on the stage.

Tartaglia strode forward, pointed the knife at her nose and said, "Where's your boss?"

The cook's face turned pale and she shook her head repeatedly: "The boss is not on the boat."

"What about the girls?"

"They're all at the bottom of the cabin! Don't kill me, I'm just a worker!"

Tartaglia clicked his tongue in displeasure and knocked the woman unconscious with the back of his knife.

Seeing this, Lu Xiu couldn't help but say, "Don't kill her?"

"I don't kill the weak."

"But who can work on this ship? What kind of people are good?"

"When the time comes, hand her over to the [Servant]. I'm sure she won't mind dealing with this person."

After dealing with all the militants, Tartaglia found ropes and tied up all the survivors.

After doing all this, he returned to the empty seat next to Lu Xiu and sat down contentedly.

"I've researched the ship's destination. It will arrive at a small port in Fontaine after daybreak. Servants will be there to pick it up. We just need to hand these people over to them."

Lu Xiu nodded indifferently: "Then remember to send those abducted girls back home."

"Don't worry, I mean what I say." After saying this, Tartaglia paused and then stretched out his hand to Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu glanced at his open palm in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Tartaglia said in astonishment, "My card! Are you planning to swallow it, Lu Xiu?"

Lu Xiu said with a look of idiocy on his face, "This is my reward."

Tartaglia opened his mouth in shock. He had never seen such a shameless person.

"Brother, we are doing justice for our country. Do we expect anything in return?"

"You're the one who asked me to come here and do justice. This is the fee you paid me, and I gladly accept it."

Lu Xiu happily put the card into his backpack. From now on, he would not need to take out the Mora Block and break it down into Mora for consumption.

Tartaglia couldn't help but clutch his chest. He had to report the card lost immediately after he got ashore to prevent Lu Xiu from using his card to spend money everywhere!

After chatting for a while, Tartaglia went to the bottom of the bed cabin to check on the condition of the abducted girls, while Lu Xiu continued to sit here and leisurely eat dessert.

After a while, Tartaglia came back and stood at the door, calling Lu Xiu to go to the deck.

Lu Xiu had no choice but to get up and go to the deck. As soon as he got there, he saw Tartaglia introducing herself enthusiastically to a group of girls with a bright smile on her face.

"Um, I'm a toy salesman from the Kingdom of Winter. You don't have to be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I'll take you back once the ship docks."

Perhaps because of Tartaglia's identity as a toy salesperson, the girls all looked relieved and came forward to express their gratitude.

It was already dawn at this time, and looking from the bow of the ship, the port of Fontainebleau was vaguely visible.

"It's finally almost here."

Lu Xiu couldn't wait to get a room in Fontaine and have a good rest. His regular sleep was disrupted by Tartaglia last night and he didn't sleep the whole night.

As the sky gradually brightened, the ship docked at the port of Fontainebleau.

While lowering the wooden plank for landing, Tartaglia called on the girls to get off. Then he turned and went into the cabin, brought out the bidders and the cook, and walked off the boat with Lu Xiu.

As soon as Tartaglia got off the boat, he looked around, frowning and muttering in confusion, "Where are the people? Is this [Servant] so unreliable? He said he would send someone to wait here last night just to be on the safe side. How come we've come all this time and there's no one here?"

Lu Xiu glanced at the small map, then raised an eyebrow and said, "They're already here, behind the cargo box on the right."

Linny, who was hiding behind a cargo box and preparing to make a stunning appearance with the magic trick he and his sister had carefully prepared for an entire night, was stunned.

Who was that person who just spoke? How could they know I was hiding here?

You have to know that in order to practice magic, he has put a lot of effort into blocking his breath. Even Alechino sometimes can't find him.

Since he had been discovered, Linnie had no choice but to walk out from behind the cargo box and came to Lu Xiu with a smile on his face.

"Sir, your perception is truly remarkable. You must be the [Young Master], right? You are truly a remarkable person!"

Lu Xiu was trying to hold back his laughter, while Tartaglia beside him had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Linnie was a little confused by their reactions.

"What's going on? Did I say something wrong?"

Tartaglia said with a dark face.

"I am the young master."

Chapter 293 Linny and Linnet

Linny was stunned at first, then he smiled awkwardly, touched the back of his head and extended his hand to apologize to Tartaglia.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Young Master, I'm shortsighted."

Seeing his sincere apology, Tartaglia didn't pursue the matter any further and reached out to shake his hand.

"It's okay, just be careful next time."

Linny chuckled and said, "To express my apology, this is my apology gift."

As he said this, Linnie let go of Tartaglia's hand and flipped it upwards, and a folded bag appeared in his palm.

"This is a magic pocket I custom-made. It's very convenient for storing things. For someone like you who often travels for business, I think it will be useful."

Tartaglia looked at Linny's palm in surprise, took the magic pocket from his palm, and then clapped his hands.

"A wonderful magic trick, worthy of the famous magician Lini from Fontaine."

"Thank you so much! I can't even call myself a great magician right now."

After waiting for the two of them to officially praise each other for a few words, Lu Xiu couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Mr. Linny, don't you want to introduce the person who's been hiding next to you?"

Linnie looked at Lu Xiu in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to have such sharp observation skills, sir. It would be very difficult to perform close-up magic in front of you."

Linnie turned her head and shouted in the direction Lu Xiu mentioned, "Linnet, come out. It seems that the surprise we prepared has been discovered."

A layer of oilcloth of the same color as the wall was suddenly lifted from the wall, and a cold-faced girl with cat ears walked over and nodded to Lu Xiu and Tartaglia.

"Let me introduce you. This is my sister and my magic assistant, Linnet. Don't be fooled by her sullen look. She just doesn't like to talk much. She's actually quite easy to get along with."

As if to confirm her brother's words, Linnet stretched out two fingers, touched her lips and lifted them up, revealing a stiff smile.

"Hello."

Lu Xiu and Tartaglia also nodded at her in a friendly manner.

After Lini introduced the two of them, Tartaglia also began to introduce Lu Xiu to them.

"As for me, you can just call me Young Master. This is Mr. Lu Xiu. If you've paid attention to things happening in other countries, you've probably heard of his name."

"Are you the rumored Mr. Lu Xiu?!"

Linny seemed very surprised. "I've heard of your name a long time ago. There are all kinds of rumors about you in Liyue, Mondstadt, and Inazuma. I didn't expect that we would meet in Fontaine."

"It's just some false reputation."

After a brief self-introduction, Tartaglia brought the topic back on track.

"Let's get back to business. Your [father] should have sent you to pick up these girls, right?"

Tartaglia moved aside so that Lini and the others could see the girls gathered on the dock.

Linnie nodded: "It's like this, my father arranged for us to take them home."

"That's good. I'll leave them to you. I have important things to do in Fontaine."

There was a hint of impatience in Tartaglia's eyes, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned to Lu Xiu and asked, "Lu Xiu, what are your plans next?"

Lucius glanced at Tartaglia and said, "If you and I were still enemies, I would know what I would do, but I'm afraid I don't have anything important to do right now. Hmm, maybe I could go see the Water God."

"Oh? Mr. Lu Xiu is going to see the Water God?"

Linnie looked at Lu Xiu with a bright face, as if he had heard something very important.

Lu Xiu felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and said with a twitch of his lips: "I see you look very excited, but it's just that I want to see the Water God. Is it really that serious?"

Linnie rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and explained, "Actually, I wanted to invite you to watch my magic show. If you want to meet the Water Goddess, the best way is to go to the Opera House. She spends a lot of time there, and I'm finally able to perform on the Opera House stage. I sincerely hope that Lu Xiu and Young Master can come and watch."

The young master waved his hand with a lack of interest: "No, I came to Fontaine because I have my eyes on a few duel agents, and I want to go and fight with them."

Lu Xiudao didn't refuse immediately: "Let's take a look if there's a chance."

"Then I look forward to Mr. Lu Xiu's visit!"

Linny seemed very sure that Lu Xiu would come to watch, so he took Linnitt to perform a closing ceremony for Lu Xiu after the magician's performance.

Next, the young master handed these girls over to Linny. After completing the work handover, the young master stretched out his body with ease.

"The work is finally done. I can finally go about my business. Lu Xiu, do you want to take the ferry with me to go somewhere else? This is just a small port in Fontainebleau. The opera house you want to go to is on another island."

"Row."

Lu Xiu was naturally happy to have someone familiar with the area lead the way, so he followed Dardalia in the direction of the ferry.

Because the ferry was on the second floor, the two of them needed to take the elevator to the second floor. While waiting for the elevator, the people around them who were originally chatting in groups of three or four suddenly turned in one direction, their eyes filled with excitement.

Lu Xiu and Tartaglia looked at each other in confusion, and then turned their gazes in the direction where the passers-by were looking.

On the second floor, a blue-haired girl was stepping on a series of small boxes and finally reaching the largest box on the top. After standing on the big box, she turned around and looked down at the crowd below with a smile on her face.

His eyes swept through the crowd one by one and finally fell on Lu Xiu and Tartaglia.

"Rich and poor, with glasses or without, raise your glasses! If you don't have any, use your hands."

As soon as the girl said this, passers-by around her immediately applauded enthusiastically, and many people even raised their arms high.

Tartaglia and Lu Xiu were completely confused. They really didn't understand what was going on.

Confused, Lu Xiu opened the small map to check if the girl was a noble. However, the big words "Water God Fukalos (Funina)" on the small map almost made him drop his jaw in surprise.

"Is this girl the water god? Why does she feel... not like a god?"

Lu Xiu couldn't help but mutter that rather than giving him the first impression of a god, the other party seemed more like an actor, performing in such an exaggerated manner.

But the system's small map is not wrong, which means that this little girl is indeed the water god.

"Looks like there's going to be some fun."

Chapter 294: Funina came up to fight with Lu Xiu

While Lu Xiu was brainstorming, Funina above him continued her speech. She waved her hands while keeping her eyes fixed on Lu Xiu.

"As you can see, the famous Mr. Lu Xiu has come to my country. Come, let us offer our blessings to him and his companions who have come from afar!"

The people of Fontaine around raised their arms and shouted. Although they didn't know who Lu Xiu was, their eyes were still looking around for where Funina's gaze was.

"Really Mr. Lu Xiu?!"

Suddenly, a strong man pushed the crowd aside and rushed towards Lu Xiu, but he tripped over the floor and slid all the way to Lu Xiu on his knees, then hugged Lu Xiu's thigh.

"I actually got to meet you, Mr. Lu Xiu, in person! This is truly my luckiest day! I've decided that every year on this day from now on, I'm going to take a day off and never work!"

Lucius and Tartaglia were both confused by the strong man who suddenly rushed out and hugged his thighs.

"who are you?"

Lu Xiu pried open his hands that were hugging his thighs with a look of disgust and asked.

When the sturdy man saw Lu Xiu's disgusted expression, he quickly suppressed his excitement.

"Ahem, Mr. Lu Xiu, you may not know me, but I know you!"

Lu Xiu and Tartaglia were still confused: "Get to the point."

The burly man's face was filled with admiration. "I'm a craftsman from Fontaine. I once went to Liyue to observe their ancient forging methods. Unexpectedly, I saw the greatest furnace in the world! The efficiency of that furnace, that perfect curve—wow! It's a dream come true for us craftsmen!"

The sturdy man's extremely exaggerated expression changes immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. They also listened curiously to the sturdy man talking about his experience in Liyue.
