Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Just now on the way, the teardrops still showed Su Chen's image. Unable to find any other clues, he ran back to seek help from Vilette, but how...

"What happened, Vilette?" Funina asked instinctively.

Navelette's lips twitched slightly, thinking to herself, "How would I know? I don't even know what's going on."

However, after hearing Funina's hurried and flustered expression, one can probably understand what she meant.

"Who are you? Ryder appeared in the tears?"

"Mmm!" Funina pecked at the rice like a chick.

"so?"

"What? So? Vilette, this is Ryder! His presence here is definitely unusual. Maybe Ryder isn't dead!"

"Um..."

Seeing Funina's excited and expectant look, Navelette was at a loss for words.

After all, he didn't even know what Ryder looked like.

Just then, a Melissa walked in.

"Lady Vilette, this is a message that Lady Aina urgently sent over. She wants you to keep an eye on the Great Sage Hein, as his identity is somewhat special."

"Oh?"

Navelette's gaze shifted.

Aina urgently instructed that this matter be proven to be extraordinary.

"Give it to me, you can go out first." He took the documents and then told Melosin to leave first.

“As you can see, Ms. Funina, I need to take care of something first. Can we discuss the issue of Ryder later?” Navelette said.

Hundreds of years have passed. Even if this guy named Ryder really had three heads and six arms, he should be completely dead by now. He didn't doubt that Funina was lying, but what could seeing the images prove?

Residual memories, or illusions formed by the influence of forces, are both possibilities.

"No, no, no! Ryder's matter comes first, everything else has to take a backseat!" Furnessa said, hands on her hips. "Vilette, my subordinate, find Ryder's information right now!"

Navelette sighed softly, "But you can't even tell me what he looks like, so where am I supposed to look?"

"Look... Damn it, why won't it come out?"

Funina stared at the golden teardrop, looking as if she wanted to devour it, but even so, the teardrop did not react at all.

Seeing this, Vilette shook her head and took the documents to open them.

Aina specifically emphasized that the Great Sage's identity was extraordinary, indicating that the latter was likely to cause some international problems involving laws and the like, and that as the Supreme Judge, he needed to handle the matter with caution.

After carefully scanning the information Aina had given him, which recorded Su Chen's 'glorious deeds' as the Inspector General of Mondstadt, traveling around various countries some time ago, Vilette actually knew about this, but the mention of the Executor 'Sage' in the information made him slightly surprised.

"It's actually an executor of the Fatui."

Unlike Mondstadt, the Fatui, as the diplomatic force of Winterborn, often cause some unpleasant incidents, so now all countries are quite wary of them.

"Ok?"

Sensing a head approaching, Vilette looked up and saw Funina staring wide-eyed at Su Chen's information on the document.

"what happened?"

"Ryder! That Villette, he's Ryder! How do you have a picture of Ryder?!"

Navelette was taken aback: "This is the information on the Great Sage Hein of Mount Sumeru."

“Impossible!” Furnessa shook her head. “He is Ryder! It must be Ryder! Exactly the same!”

"Um..."

Navette's mind was a bit confused.

He is not sure if Funina's mental state is normal.

According to the information, both the Great Sage Hein and the Chief Inspector Su Chen are recent figures, while Ryder is from hundreds of years ago, so the timelines don't match up at all.

Furthermore, if what Furina said is true, that she and Ryder have a good relationship, then why hasn't she come to Fontainebleau all these years?

“It’s just that the vibe is a little off.” Funina’s tone suddenly changed. “I feel like the Ryder I know is much more handsome. This one looks a bit… cheeky.”

She stared at Su Chen's photo.

It shows the latter teasing Klee.

Because the information was obtained secretly, the photos couldn't possibly be taken as neatly as those taken for employment registration. In addition, Su Chen was very vigilant, which meant that the person who took the photos could only seize the opportunity when Su Chen was most relaxed.

Navelette hesitated, "Could it just be that we look the same?"

To be honest, if you only look at his appearance, he could even become Ryder.

But appearances can change, but the soul cannot.

Those who are truly familiar with each other can easily spot the differences.

“No, there’s definitely something wrong!” Furina said firmly. “This tear belongs to Ryder. It was acting strangely just now. Now this person named Su Chen… Hein… well, anyway, it’s this guy. He looks just like Ryder. He must be Ryder.”

Navelette nodded: "That should be it."

"Right, right? Vilette, you think so too, right?" (Qianxun, First Release Transfer Group 255595300)

"Okay, then you should go and reunite with him."

"Okay! I'll go right now... He should be arriving in Fontaine soon, right? I'll go make some preparations. If he really is Ryder, I'm sure I'll be able to tell!"

After saying that, Funina dashed out of the office.

Navilette watched her leave.

Finally, he shook his head in resignation.

Honestly, if this were to happen outside, outside of Fontainebleau, probably no one would guess that the Water God would look like this.

"Ryder..."

Staring at the documents in his hand, Villette was momentarily distracted. The person in the photo gave him a sense of familiarity.

Perhaps this time, Funina is right?

...

the other side.

At the pier of Hailu Port.

The Water God's farce has come to an end. The poor travelers from afar were taken away by Clarinde. They were supposed to go to Fontaine with the Water God, but in the blink of an eye, they found that the Water God had disappeared.

"What about people?"

Upon arriving at the location to board the cruiser, Paimon opened his eyes wide and looked around. "Weren't we supposed to come together?"

"Lady Funina has already left," a staff member said.

"Seriously, isn't that too capricious? Suddenly showing up for the trial, and just now saying we'd go together, but then she ran off on her own." Paimon said angrily, arms crossed.

Linni laughed and said, "You'll get used to it. That's just how Lady Funina is."

"It's amazing that you can tolerate such a capricious god."

“After all, she is the Water Goddess.” The usually quiet Linette said from the side, “The people of Fontaine are used to her temperament. Although Lady Funina can be reckless at times, she is reliable when it comes to important matters. Moreover, she has indeed protected Fontaine and sheltered the people of Fontaine.”

There are too many of Lady Funina's great achievements to count. The most famous one is the disaster that almost submerged Fontaine more than four hundred years ago. It is even rumored that before that, Lady Funina was extremely skilled in trials and could see the flaws of criminals at a glance. Even Vilette was amazed by that ability.

Now, although Funina is still very proactive, she is often out of sync with the crowd, and the people have gotten used to seeing Funina's speeches in court as a way to liven up the atmosphere.

"Let's go. I'll take you to Fontaine. Before the All-Laws Festival, all your needs for food, clothing, and lodging will be taken care of." Clarind was clearly used to this.

"Let's go, travelers."

Paimon turned to look at Ying and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Su Chen... doesn't seem to have come."

“Oh yeah, they told us to go first when we disembarked, and we agreed from the beginning that our escort duties would end in Fontaine… Ugh, damn it, did that guy leak our news of coming to Fontaine to the water god?” Paimon said angrily. “If that’s the case, then I’m not considering him a friend anymore!”

Ying tilted her head: "What good would that do him? I don't think Su Chen is that kind of person."

“That makes sense,” Paimon sighed. “But this means we can’t go to the Adventurers’ Guild to get the package. One million Mora… Waaah~ Mission a complete failure.”

Ying thought for a while and, judging from Clorinde's demeanor, probably wouldn't allow them to go to the Adventurers' Guild halfway through. So she went to the side and asked a porter for help, asking him to deliver the letter to the soon-to-arrive Sage Hein.

at this time.

The Great Sage Hein is receiving a warm welcome from the people of Fontainebleau.

After Clorind left with her people, Aina, who had been waiting nearby, immediately led her group to the dock and successfully met with Su Chen and his companions.

"Welcome, Great Sage Hein. I am Aina, the highest administrator of the Privy Council."

"Hello, Miss Aina."

Su Chen responded with a smile.

Through the memories of the Transcendence Card, he learned that the woman in front of him, Aina, was his secretary during the simulation period, and that she was exceptionally capable.

As for why Aina was able to live for so long, it seems to be related to the cursed power she carried.

Previously, he only had a vague feeling, but now that Su Chen has returned to reality and is perceiving it with his original strength, the feeling is incredibly clear.

"Lord Hein...have we met somewhere before?"

Aina looked at Su Chen, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

When she first saw the photo, it seemed blurry, but now that she saw him face to face, a strong sense of familiarity welled up in Aina's heart. Moreover, as the head of intelligence, she should have been wary of Su Chen, who had multiple identities, but now she couldn't be wary at all.

Not only am I not wary, but I even... inexplicably feel a sense of attraction?

too weird.

That's why Aina asked such an untimely question.

In Fontainebleau, greeting someone like that, which sounds like "Hey beautiful, haven't we met somewhere before?", could potentially be considered indecent.

Su Chen chuckled: "Perhaps. I've traveled to various countries and might have the opportunity to talk to Miss Aina about those things, but the occasion doesn't seem quite right now. We should at least find a quiet place, with a cup of coffee and two slices of Kasna cake. What do you think?"

Aina was taken aback.

A voice from the depths of memory gently emerged—'Aina, bring me a cup of coffee and two cakes, Kasna.' Kasna... that was a cake brand from Fontainebleau a long time ago. Not many people know this brand, because that cake shop went out of business four hundred years ago.
