Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

I knew I made the right choice in following him!

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! I know what to do! Please rest assured, sir!"

Norman ran out happily, bumped into Rosalind in the living room, quickly composed himself, bowed respectfully, and hurriedly ran away.

Rosalind teased Lu Sheng, "You're quite adept at ordering people around. Do you know that Norman's rank is higher than yours?"

"What? There is such a thing?"

Rosalyn explained with a mischievous grin, "Debt handlers are just ordinary soldiers. The kids selected by the Hearth House graduate as corporals. How can you compare to them?"

Lu Sheng smiled jokingly, "So what? I can not only order him around, I can also order you around. Go, cook me two dishes."

Rosalyn remained unmoved.

"You're being disobedient, aren't you? Then you can sleep outside by yourself tonight."

"Lu Sheng! I'm warning you, don't go too far! I can't cook at all! Change your request!"

"Useless! You've lived such a long life in vain! Go and start a fire, I'll do it!"

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Clarin rushed in excitedly, "Master! The work at Shadow Court is finally finished, I can..."

Before she could finish speaking, Clarind saw Rosalind and instantly went on alert, drawing her sword and demanding, "What are you doing here?!"

The identity of this Fools' Enforcer is no longer a secret, and now there is an extremely strong sense of rejection towards the Winterborn throughout Fontaine, and Clarinde is no exception.

"I haven't broken any laws in Fontainebleau, so I can go wherever I want."

"An explosion occurred at the Fools' mansion, resulting in many deaths and injuries. Diplomat Arecino has mysteriously disappeared. Tell me, is this a staged event you orchestrated yourself? A scheme to extricate yourselves from Fontainebleau unscathed?"

Speaking of this, Rosalind became furious and retorted to Clarinde, "How dare you Fontaine say that? Someone attacked the ambassador's residence and kidnapped Arecino, yet your Fontaine defenses didn't react at all! And you even turned around and accused us of staging it ourselves. Who would risk their life for acting?"

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events, and the argument escalated.

Rosalind suddenly grabbed Lu Sheng's arm and said to Clarinde with a smug look, "You just called him 'Master,' right? Then shouldn't you call me 'Master' too..."

Lu Sheng pressed Rosalyn's head down and pushed her away, explaining, "Stop arguing! Clorinde, this Miss Rosalyn is my client. I've taken on the case of Ambassador Arecino's disappearance."

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 173: The Prophecy is Coming

Hearing her master's explanation, Clarinde calmed down, sheathed her sword, and walked over recklessly, squeezing between Lu Sheng and Rosalind.

She gave Rosalyn a righteous, judgmental glare and warned, "A client should act like a client. Don't try to touch me or use your seductive looks to achieve your goals. My master isn't someone who's easily seduced by beauty."

Lu Sheng felt very gratified.

Good apprentice, you're right! Absolutely right!

Although your master also desires your body, he is not someone who is easily tempted by beauty.

In the words of the Dragon King: I despise all beautiful women.

Let's set aside those that are too beautiful for now.

Clarin turned to Rikuo and asked worriedly, "Master, are you really going to accept her request? You can't just believe what the Fools say."

“Detectives have no fixed stance; they only take on cases based on their ability. I’ve already promised Miss Rosalyn, so my next step is to find Arecino. Besides, Miss Rosalyn is no longer an executor.”

"What?" Clorind asked in surprise, "You left the Fools? As far as I know, once you join the Fools, you can't leave voluntarily unless you die. Without exception, those who betrayed the Fools suffered extreme retaliation. I've never heard of anyone who left the Fools and was able to leave unscathed."

Rosalyn shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you think I wanted to? It was only because Arecino killed Pantalone to give Fontaine an explanation that I was involved in it, although I was forced to. But now that Pantalone is dead and Arecino has been captured, no one can prove my innocence. If I stay with the Fools, I will definitely be made a scapegoat and punished."

“Don’t underestimate Pantalone just because he’s only the ninth seat. His importance to Zhidong is beyond your imagination. If he dies, Zhidong’s economy will immediately grind to a halt, and the country will inevitably descend into chaos. When the Empress goes on a killing spree in a fit of rage, who will speak up for me?”

Clarin sneered, "Heh! The chaos at the end of winter is well-deserved. Who told you Fools to wreak havoc and leech off other people's countries? This is just belated retribution!"

Rosalyn shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "So what? I'm not a Winterborn. Even if Winterborn were to fall, I wouldn't shed a single tear for it."

Clarin was furious at Rosalind's shamelessness and said directly, "In short, if Winter demands that we hand you over, Fontaine will not provide you with any political asylum."

After saying that, she walked away without looking back.

"What a terrible woman! With such a bad temper, she'll never be able to get married!"

Riku found it quite amusing to hear Rosalind talking badly about Clarinde behind her back.

The main problem is that her insults didn't sound like something a Fool's Enforcer would say; they sounded more like a little girl complaining after losing an argument.

There's a strange sense of contrast.

"You're not much better off, are you?" he retorted tactlessly.

Rosalyn raised her head. "That's different. Nobody wants her, but I do. What? You're going to deny it now that you've put your pants on?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? It means exactly what you're thinking!"

"Then you have to wait in line."

"No way, I just need to kill them all."

Wow, what kind of twisted talk is this? I'm scared.

But thinking about it carefully, those guys are no pushovers. Rosalind doesn't seem to be able to beat any of them.

Let's hope that when the classic is remade, it doesn't get slapped to death by the god.

"Alright, let's stop arguing about those exhausting things and get down to business. How do you plan to find Arecino?"

"Oh no!" Lu Sheng suddenly slapped his forehead. "I forgot about that!"

He immediately grabbed his coat, rushed out of the house, and headed straight for Fontaine Hospital.

In the hospital room, Norman brought a bunch of things to visit his friend.

Linni was happy to see her long-lost friend, and even the pain in her body lessened considerably. She curiously asked Norman where he had been working lately.

Norman carefully heeded his superior's advice and was forced to lie to his friend.

"Hehe, I've been quite free lately, traveling around and seeing a lot of things, and I've learned a lot."

He quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how did you all get injured? Where's your father?"

The faces of Linni and her brother quickly darkened, and they told Norman what had happened.

"What! Father has disappeared!"

Norman jumped up in a panic.

In fact, Linni and the others did not know the specifics. They only knew that someone had attacked the mansion and they were instantly knocked unconscious. They learned about their father's disappearance from the Fontaine government.

Just then, Lu Sheng arrived at the ward.

He called Norman outside, and judging from the man's furrowed brow, Norman must already know about Arecino's disappearance.

"Sir...why didn't you tell me about my father's disappearance? The lady and my father were so close, how could you..."

Lu Sheng comforted her, "Madam, you came to me to talk about this matter. That's why I rushed over to find you. I'm asking you, do you want to know where your father is?"

"Yeah! Of course!"

"Then add another order to my command: you must immediately return to Sumeru to find Mona and that old woman, and have them use astrology to find Arecino's whereabouts. Once they have the results, tell Apep and have her bring them to Fontaine."

"Yes! Understood!"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Norman hurriedly bid farewell to Linni and the others before embarking on his journey back to Sumeru.

Lu Sheng then entered the ward, reassuring Lin Ni and the others.

"On behalf of the lady, I'm passing on a message to you all: you only need to leave your father's affairs to the lady. You children don't need to worry about it. Just stay here and recover. Your father will come back."

After that, Fontaine enjoyed a relatively peaceful period.

Lu Sheng wasn't unwilling to take the initiative, but unfortunately, his understanding of the Abyss was still too limited. Those sinners used the Abyss to open portals and wander around every day, their faces contorted in a strange and unpredictable manner, and they could emerge from anywhere at any time.

There's a sense of powerlessness in Dante as he watches Virgil pass the Yamato sword around all day.

This is what is meant by "the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light."

Even though they knew that the culprit behind the flood in Fontainebleau was the Star-Devouring Whale, they couldn't kill it in advance to stop the rising sea level because it was in the abyss.

The only cheat I have is Mona's astrology.

As long as Arecino is still in this world, she will definitely be found by the astrology. After all, Mona is no ordinary astrologer, not to mention there's that old woman Barbielos around. There won't be any problem.

If all goes well, Appepp should arrive in Fontainebleau with intelligence in the next few days.

At breakfast that day, Claude hurriedly brought over a newspaper and, pale-faced, pointed to the most eye-catching headline on the paper for Lu Sheng to see.

The above report is about the town of Baisong being submerged by the suddenly rising sea level.

Fortunately, all the residents there had been relocated thanks to the foresight of the Water God, so there were no casualties.

"This is terrifying!" Clarind exclaimed. "If Lady Furina hadn't relocated the Rose Society to Fontaine, who knows how many people would have died this time! The prophecy... could it really be coming true?"

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 174: The Fontaine Mutation

A sunny afternoon.

As Funina walked down the street, watching the city gradually become more prosperous and bustling, she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Everything is steadily improving.

The foolish people who brought disaster to the country and its people were purged, administrative efficiency greatly increased, the unemployment rate plummeted, and various emerging industries continued to emerge.

Although the prophecy is still incredibly worrying, as long as we all work together, there is absolutely no obstacle we cannot overcome.

This is probably the best era in Fontainebleau's history.

The future will definitely be better.

Boom...

The ground suddenly shook.

It's very slight, but you can feel it.

Fu Ningna felt a pang of anxiety. Was she about to get into some serious trouble again?

Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, the tremor never came again.

But when she looked up, she found that all the people of Fontainebleau were looking up at the sun in the sky.
