Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

boom! ! !

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted inside the mansion.

The newly repaired glass was instantly shattered by the explosion.

This terrifying power can only come from Arecino! Who is she fighting inside?!

Rosalyn rushed back to the mansion and found Linni, Fimini, and the other children lying unconscious on the ground, apparently blown out by the blast.

Forget about the children, she rushed into the mansion and saw a masked man surrounded by a dark aura standing in front of Arecino, holding a long scythe.

He was not sent by the Fools, nor was he a Fontainebleau native.

But even from a distance, Rosalind could sense the terrifying power emanating from him—the power of the abyss!

"Heh, a familiar feeling..." The masked man chuckled. "I never expected that the bloodline of the Crimson Moon would actually still exist in this world."

Arecino's face was icy, her flaming scythe pointing at the other person as she demanded, "Who are you?"

“Me?” The man raised his finger and pointed to the sky outside the window. “I am… the Moon Hunter.”

With that, his dark aura erupted, and the scythe flew from his hand, spinning towards Arecino.

The battle is about to break out.

Rosalyn tried to help, but was knocked back by the aftershocks of their casual exchange, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Arecino's power, having awakened her Crimson Moon bloodline, is immeasurable. But what Rosalind fears even more is the man who fought Arecino.

He not only did not fall behind, but actually had the upper hand in every aspect.

Clang!

The clash of raw power never lies. Alejandro's scythe was jolted out of her hand and flew away. The next second, her opponent's scythe was already at her neck.

“Descendant of the Crimson Moon, I will savor your power slowly, just as your ancestors did.”

A deep crevice opened behind the man, and he led Arecino into it while holding her hostage.

"Arechino!!!"

Rosalind freed herself from her restraints and used the power of the Flame Witch to try and save her best friend.

Without turning his head, the man unleashed a surge of abyssal power that sent Rosalind back to her original form as the Flame Witch. Her body crashed through the wall and flew out of the mansion, her fate unknown.

......

Thump thump thump... thump thump...

There was a strange knocking sound at the door.

Lu Sheng opened the door and was startled by what he saw.

Rosalyn was seen leaning against the door frame, covered in blood, barely breathing, her eyes beginning to glaze over.

"help me..."

The moment Rosalyn saw Lu Sheng, she used up her last bit of strength and collapsed into his arms.

Although Lu Sheng was puzzled, he dared not delay. He immediately carried Rosalin to the bed, pried open her mouth, and fed her a few drops of his own blood.

"Who did it?"

He quickly examined Rosalyn's injuries. The person who injured her was extremely vicious, clearly intending to kill her. It was a miracle that Rosalyn survived.

If she hadn't come to him, or had gone to see another doctor or something, she would have certainly died.

He soon discovered that Rosalind had used the form of the Flame Witch, meaning that the opponent had brought Rosalind to the brink of death when she was at her strongest.

Who can do it?

Could it be because of the rich that the Fools sent people to clean house?

That's impossible... It wouldn't be surprising if she could beat Rosalind, but Rosalind is basically always with Arecino. Even the girl or the captain couldn't kill Rosalind in front of Arecino.

Strange, what about the Arecino people?

"Um?!"

Upon closer examination, Lu Sheng unexpectedly discovered the aura of the abyss on Rosalin.

She was corrupted by the power of the abyss!

This is when things start to get weird.

We'll have to wait until Rosalyn wakes up to find out the truth.

Lu Sheng helped her clean her body, changed her into new clothes, and stood guard by her side, quietly waiting for her to wake up.

"Arechino...no! Don't go! Come back!"

About half an hour later, Rosalyn woke up from her nightmare, her whole body drenched in cold sweat.

She looked around warily and found herself in a warm and comfortable room. A faint sandalwood scent filled her nostrils, which relaxed her tense nerves.

"You're awake? The surgery was a success. You're a real man now."

Rosalyn's mind went blank for a moment, and she immediately reached out to touch her chest.

Fortunately, what we're proud of is still there.

She then glared at Lu Sheng.

What's going on with these clothes?

"I changed it for you, what? I saved your life and you won't even let me see it? I even touched it, all I can say is... it's very smooth!"

"you!"

Rosalyn was about to curse, but she was too embarrassed to say it, after all, she was the one who came to him for help.

"Tell me, what exactly happened? Who beat you up like this? And where did the abyssal power within you come from?"

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 172: Deployment

Norman felt like he was a complete scumbag.

He came to Fontaine on the orders of the Eighth God Child to find Rikuo, but as soon as he entered the territory, a major incident occurred in Fontaine.

All unidentified foreigners were to be arrested and questioned before being released, especially those from winter.

I heard it was the Northern Bank that did this.

It's true what they say, your colleague's misdeeds bring you trouble.

Norman was arrested as soon as he landed, all his magic props were confiscated, and he was imprisoned. He needed identification to be released.

Where do I get the proof? I'm just a fool.

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

Just as Norman was in a panic, a prison guard suddenly told him that someone had vouched for him and that he could leave now.

A bewildered Norman took his belongings and went outside the prison. When he saw the person who had bailed him out, he excitedly shouted out.

"Sir!!!"

Lu Sheng patted Norman on the shoulder and laughed, "I heard that the Shadow Chasing Court captured a kid who can change his face, and I was wondering if it was you. I was right."

"That's wonderful, sir! It's like finding a needle in a haystack! Do you know how much effort we put into finding you? Miss Shenzi was almost frantic with worry!"

"It's alright, I've already sent the message back. This isn't the place to talk. Come with me."

Lu Sheng took Norman home.

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

The foolish young men immediately stood at attention.

He saluted Rosalyn as if by reflex, "Good day, sir! Miss Rosalyn is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

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

"No candy this time, let's eat cookies properly too."

Lu Sheng looked at this scene with a puzzled expression, "You get a reward for praising your beauty? What about my reward?"

Rosalind glanced at him and explained, "What do you know? I've practically watched this child grow up. During holidays, I always bring some treats to the Hearth House. Only the children who can say nice things get prizes, and over time, the children's mouths have become quite sweet. But they're only sweet-talking to me. In front of Arecino, they're like timid puppies after being scolded, which makes her always complain to me, hahaha."

Almost forgot, Norman was also one of the orphans of the Hearth House.

"Come to the study with me." Lu Sheng called Norman to the study. "You've come at the right time. I just happen to need someone who can accurately convey my meaning to go to Sumeru."

Norman couldn't help but complain, "I just arrived in Fontainebleau, and now I have to go back to Sumeru?"

Sigh~ I was born to be an errand boy.

"Speak, sir, give me your orders and I will do as you say."

Lu Sheng nodded. "Make a note of this. I'll make the following arrangements."

He took out a blueprint for power armor from the drawer.

“Take this back to Sumeru and hand it to Victor personally. Tell him to put it into production as soon as possible. Elemental power can be used as a temporary power source.”

"Also, tell Apep to come to Fontaine to see me immediately."

"The last thing is to go to Seno and Elhesen and tell them that it is the Mushroom King's order to have them summon the two armored legions of the Imperial Guard to be stationed at the border of Fontaine and be ready to be deployed at any time."

"Oh, right, there's one more important thing. Tell Lisa and Paimon that I'm fine. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Norman kept these words in mind. As a member of the Fools' Gang of Agents trained from childhood, he had that much professional skill.

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

Lu Sheng noticed his embarrassment and asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

Norman scratched his head and said truthfully, "Sir...you don't know, but Linnie and I grew up together. I heard they were injured and are in the hospital, so I wanted to go visit them..."

"Yes, we should go and take a look."

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

"Since it's a visit, it can't be too shabby. Buy some nice gifts, and you can manage the rest of the money yourself. Remember, be mindful of what you should and shouldn't say."

Norman was overjoyed. He had only wanted permission from his superior to take a short break before carrying out the mission, but he never expected that Lord Fool would give him so much money to visit his friends.
