Genshin Impact: Become a heartthrob from Mondstadt

"I underestimated you, and I'm sorry for that." Leosli smiled and changed the subject: "I like what you said just now, but... Miss Audrin, how do you want to make an effort? The water of the original fetal sea is a threat to the lives of every Fontaine person, and it can't be easily solved by just shouting slogans."

"Well... at least we should take some precautions. The water of the original fetal sea is deep under the sea, so it will first affect low-lying areas, such as Baisong Town." Audrin thought of the death of the two bodyguards and his eyes moved: "Mr. Duke agrees with my point of view, which means you have made some preparations before this, right? Can you tell me?"

"By the way, I'm very pleased that you finally know my name." Audrin mocked Leosley.

"Now, you are not a prisoner, but an ally worth considering." Leosli explained, and then said: "Of course, some means were used. This is not something worth hiding from you. Come with me." He took Audrin and Ying back to the infirmary.

The infirmary was now a little more lively than before. Sigwen, Linny, Linnet, Femini and Paimon were all there. Audrin also saw a man and a woman who were strangers dressed as researchers.

"Audrin and Ying!" Paimon flew over first. She cried and complained, "Wow, Sigwen obviously knows everything. She is teasing Paimon. This is too much!"

Sigwen had a faint smile on her face, her pomegranate-like eyes full of smiles: "Sorry, Paimon, I prefer to play the role of someone who knows nothing."

"Ahhh, that's even more excessive!" Paimon stomped his feet in the air in anger.

Linnie felt that this plan was crude from the beginning, and failure was within his expectations. He shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Audrin, we tried our best."

"It's okay. Ying and I are making good progress. Although we've gone around in circles, it's a good thing that we can now talk openly." Audrin said, "What do you think, Mr. Duke?"

"That's right." Leosley crossed his arms and nodded, "I overestimated the importance of the young master to the Fatui. This is my mistake."

"Cough cough..." Audrin coughed twice, feeling somewhat guilty.

"Let me introduce you. This is Jurieux, one of the most senior research talents at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. He used to work under Edwin. Edwin's main research areas are primordial minerals and gravimeters. As his assistant, Jurieux also understands the relevant technologies. I hired him as my technician."

Paimon knew that Edwin was the one who blew up the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. She guessed in surprise: "You...you want to blow up Melo Petersburg?"

Leosley suppressed his laughter: "Ah, this is a beautiful sentence. I started to imagine it."

The researcher named Jurieu also said: "I am also a little moved..."

The female researcher standing nearby said: "Gentlemen, please be careful!"

Leosley pointed at her and said, "The upright Miss Lulvey is also a technical consultant I invited. Coincidentally, Julius used to be Edwin's assistant, and Lulvey used to be Julius' assistant."

Lini listened to this relationship and combined it with the information he had heard in Melo Petersburg before, and nodded to himself: "Oh, so that's how it is, you two are in love. How romantic."

Lu Erwei's face suddenly turned red, and it was unclear whether she was embarrassed or angry: "We are not in a relationship!"

Julius also spoke anxiously: "Unless I'm crazy!"

Linnett was very observant. The two of them were obviously lying by looking at each other subconsciously. She took a sip of the tea that Sigwen had brewed and said calmly, "I think you two have been talking for a while."

"No! Stop guessing!"

At this point, the two researchers blushed in unison.

The young couple was completely exposed by everyone. Hehe.

After the relaxing interlude, Leosley opened the partition and walked down with Audrin, Ying, Paimon and Linny.

The rest of them just need to wait patiently in the infirmary.

As the mechanism operated, Audrin saw a huge ship in the distance filling her entire field of vision.

Paimon opened his mouth so wide in surprise that an egg could be stuffed in it: "Such a big...ship?!"

Lini observed for a moment and quickly made an association, saying, "Is this ship related to the Fatuna of Lemuria?"

"Fontaine has learned a lot of history, magician." Leosli glanced at Linny and said, "It's half and half. People always believe that ships can lead people to find hope, especially Fontaine, which is closely related to water."

"You see, this is my method, Miss Audrin. Now it's time to tell me your method in detail." Leosley slightly restrained the smile on his lips and looked at Audrin seriously.

"Your guess is correct. If something goes wrong, the first place to go is Melo Petersburg, and the second is Baisong Town. But how can you prevent it before it happens? People always have a fluke mentality about things that haven't happened, and they won't listen to your arrangements."

Audrin did not answer immediately. Leosley's question was very sharp and went straight to the point.

If she wanted to save the people in Baisong Town, she would have to react very quickly. It would be best if she could prepare a day or half a day before the disaster, but this was impossible. She had no prediction skills. Even if she knew the future plot, she couldn't know exactly when the disaster would happen. The water in the original fetal sea rose very quickly, and it would take away more than a dozen lives in a few seconds.

After thinking for a moment, Audrin let out a sigh, "Mr. Duke, your concerns are correct, so I don't intend to let the people of Baisong Town voluntarily leave their homes in a friendly and peaceful way. The Fatui don't have a good reputation anyway..."

"Oh? You want to..." There was a smile in Leosley's ice-blue eyes.

"Expel." Audrin looked into his eyes and spoke word by word.

......

On the water, Finnina and [servant] Alechino had afternoon tea again. The difference from last time was that this time, it was not Violet sitting next to Finnina, but the Traveler and Paimon.

The subject of their conversation was not the leisurely topic that should be discussed over afternoon tea.

Alechino's patience slowly wore out, and her words became more aggressive.

"At this point, we no longer need to have an identity dialogue. Let me speak from the perspective of a Fontaine person - you know the prophecy best, and everything is coming true."

"And yet you are still so idle, drinking tea and eating cake, as if only a few insects flew into the small garden. Is this really okay?"

Alechino's voice was slightly deep, like a hammer hitting Furninna's fragile defenses again and again.

"The prophecy is a sword hanging over everyone's head. All forces are looking for ways to contain the disaster or save themselves. Even the orphans of Hearth House are trying their best to save their hometown."

"But what about you? Demon God Fukalos, you haven't taken any action from beginning to end. You are so leisurely and shocking."

Funina maintained her attitude: "No! I have never despised prophecies, nor have I ever spent my days leisurely. Take back your doubts and don't speculate on the gods!"

"I am not the only one who doubts you. Millions of people born in Fontaine may also have the same doubts." Alechino sneered, and the look in his eyes made Finina feel cold.

"God of Water, how are you going to save them and us? How can the people you protect survive in this land that is about to sink?"

Finina's voice also became serious because of Alechino's repeated questioning and pressure.

"I have my own way, and I have been working hard for this for a long time... Even if you look down on me, you have no right to deny me!"

"Fontaine will definitely be saved, even though...even though I can't see the real future right now, but as long as I continue like this, I won't let anyone down!"

That’s right, in order to prevent the reality predicted by Fontaine from coming true, she has endured for so many years, and has persisted for so many years with no end in sight. She has not let anyone down!

Alechino seemed to be amused by what Fernina said, and asked coldly: "Then may I ask, what efforts have Miss Fernina made? Where can we see them?"

Funina was at a loss for a moment: "I..."

That was her deepest secret, and not even Violet would understand it.

Suddenly, Finina remembered what the black-haired girl had said to her not long ago.

[I believe in Miss Funina. I believe that Miss Funina has tried her best. Hard work is usually invisible, but Fontaine will definitely become better with Miss Funina's efforts.]

It's like...she's not alone now.

At least, if it was Audrin, she wouldn't be pressing her like Alechino is now.

She was a good kid, always believed in her.

Therefore, she would never let Audrin down and would absolutely stick to it to the end.

Thinking of this, Funina raised her lips in an exaggerated arc: "Can mortals also see the efforts of the gods? If the efforts of the gods can be seen by people, this Fontaine crisis would not be so difficult to resolve. I am naturally working hard in places that you haven't noticed."

"...It's like a prophecy, everything will happen at the right time, you just can't see those things yet."

"Okay, I'm tired. Let's end the tea party here." After saying that, Finina stopped looking at Alechino and left first. This was completely different from the timidity she had shown before. She finally showed the majesty and momentum of a god.

Alechino was a little surprised. Her questioning was intentional just now, just to break through Finina's psychological defenses and make her unable to bear the pressure and tell her secret. But at the most critical moment, Finina seemed to have become a different person. She didn't respond at all and overturned the "table" of the conversation, so that she couldn't even ask the questions she prepared about the law of compensation and mixed energy.

Could it be... that she really couldn't see the effort? Alechino rarely reflected on whether he had missed something, or was deceived by Fernina's previous timid and superb acting skills.

Paimon blinked and carefully put down the fork he was using to eat the cake: "Funina, you were so powerful just now, like a different person."

Ying agreed: "It seems that your plan has failed, servant, and nothing can be learned from it."

Alechino was not discouraged: "It doesn't matter, I always know what she is hiding."

"Wait..." Paimon looked at the ripples in the coffee cup in astonishment: "Is this... an earthquake?"

Ying came out early this time with the tacit consent of Leosli, and did not come into contact with the riot of the original fetal sea water that suddenly broke through the valve in Melo Petersburg, nor did she understand what was happening.

Alechino had received a message from Audrin before, and understood something: "Perhaps... the water of the Primordial Sea has rioted."

"Eh? In other words..." Paimon immediately looked towards the direction of Baisong Town: "Audrin's side!"

Ying also became nervous and didn't bother to talk to Alechino anymore. She said quickly, "Sorry, Paimon and I will leave first. We will come back to taste your cake next time."

After saying that, without waiting for Alechino's consent, Ying picked up Paimon and opened the teleportation anchor point.

Looking at the seats that were suddenly empty, Alechino sighed slightly: "Really... one by one they left in such a hurry."

Alechino picked up the coffee and took a sip calmly. She was not worried about the situation of Audrin in Baisong Town. After all, she had assigned a lot of manpower to her. If she still couldn't complete the task perfectly, then Audrin would have regressed too much.

......

Baisong Town.

As soon as Ying landed, she was nearly drowned by the rising sea water. Fortunately, she was not from Fontainebleau. She swam to higher ground quickly and saved several people who were slow to climb up.

"Huh..." Arriving at the highest point of the house, Ying looked around: "Where's Audrin?"

"Big sister, are you looking for the black-haired sister who was so fierce just now?" asked the little boy who was rescued by her.

Ying nodded: "Yes, you know her?"

The little boy said: "That sister is not a good person. She came to Baisong Town a few days ago and drove everyone away aggressively. But I was smart and sneaked back... But I seem to have done something bad."

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you running back when there's a flood?" Paimon was a little crazy because of the boy's words.

"I...I didn't bring my doll with me. It was left to me by my mother." The little boy's eyes were slightly red. "I want to come back and find it."

Ying looked at the little boy and coaxed him in a soft voice: "When the water recedes, I will help you find the doll. But not now. Good boy should stay in a safe place."

"A safe place?" the little boy repeated stupidly, then pointed behind Ying: "Big sister with blond hair, are you talking about that very big ship?"

Ok? ? ?

Ying and Paimon suddenly turned around and saw Audrin and Navia standing at the bow with high spirits.

"Hey, partner! We're here!!!"
