Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Linney left.

Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Funina: "Let's discuss a way to communicate secretly in front of others. Like just now, Linni was more or less aware of it."

"Just now?" Furninna tilted her head to show that she didn't understand.

"Just now...didn't you notice the signal I made?"

"What? Oh——" Furninda suddenly realized, "So it was you who blew the window open. Uh... what did you want to say at that time?"

"After closing the window... I shook my head at you from the corner of Linny's sight... Even if it was just with the corner of your eye... you should have seen it, right?"

"Y-really?"

"..."

"Don't be silent. You see, you shook your head to ask me to reject Linny's proposal, and I did reject it, so... so..."

"So we need to come up with a simple and clear code," Wang Chen said confidently, "It should be more obvious than nodding or shaking your head, so that you can't ignore it, and even a fool can understand it."

"Stupid, stupid? I was definitely wrong this time, so forget it, but only this time..."

"I didn't say you were stupid, I was just giving you an example."

After a brief explanation, Wang Chen thought hard.

Ordinary signals, such as coughing or stamping feet, probably wouldn't work. These actions would be too obvious to others, but not obvious enough to Funina...

Perhaps it would only be effective if rock objects were used to shape words in front of her, but most of the time, what Furninna could see, others could also see, so the wind was still the most useful.

"Come and give it a try. When we need to communicate, I will wrap your hands with the wind. The left hand represents disapproval, and the right hand represents approval."

"wind?"

Wang Chen didn't say anything more. He sent out a gust of wind to wrap around Funina's hands, and it kept spinning around the palms and backs of her hands.

"How about it? Even with gloves on, you should be able to feel it, right?"

"Can…"

"Once you've confirmed that you've received the signal, clench that hand into a fist and the wind will stop. Otherwise, I'll keep it spinning around your hand until you notice it. The same goes for the other way around. If you clench your fist twice in a row, I'll take that as a signal from you to me."

Furninna tried to clench her right fist twice in succession and said seriously: "I understand."

"I'm glad you understand. It's a good thing you didn't agree to Linny's request just now."

"You look so worried. Is Linny really planning a terrible conspiracy?"

"Terrible conspiracy?" Wang Chen repeated word by word and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Furninna crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and explained proudly:

“I have noticed that Linni is one of the fools, as are his brothers and sisters. But at the same time, they are also people of Fontaine. Before they make mistakes, I must remain skeptical of them and fulfill my responsibility as a water god to my people.

"I know a little bit about what the Fatui did in other countries. Although I don't know what they will do in Fontaine, when Linnie insisted on performing at the Opiquette Opera House even though the prophecy was approaching, I vaguely felt that they might have some plans.

"The energy source of the entire Fontaine - the Cardinal of the Oracle is right in the Opicolai Opera House. It is too important, so I guess Lini might be targeting the Cardinal of the Oracle!"

"..."

"Well, did I guess right?"

"The target is right, but the purpose is wrong... The Fatui led by Lini in Fontaine, or more precisely, the members of the Hearth House, their first goal is also to deal with the prophecy. With this common goal, we can let them act as they please for now."

"Okay, okay... let's not talk about this."

In an attempt to show off her intelligence, she failed. Furninna waved her hand in boredom and changed the subject:

"Now that the prerequisites for the three plans have been gathered, it's time to implement them. But then again, I haven't interfered in government affairs for a long time...

“Although I only need to explain the matter clearly and the Privy Council will send people to handle it, they will definitely be surprised by my sudden action.

"And Villette, ever since he came to Fontaine, the responsibility of managing Fontaine has almost been thrown to him. He will probably ask the reason for such a big mobilization.

"Oh, it's troublesome just to think about it. Please accompany me for a walk."

...

"Well, Villette, you are here as expected."

Glancing curiously at the unfamiliar face beside Fernina, Violet asked, "Ms. Fernina, can you tell me clearly why you asked the Privy Council to do those things? It seems that they were trying to prevent a flood?"

"Flood?" Finina nodded. "That's right. The prophecy is just about a flood."

"Are you serious... do you know when the prophecy will take place?"

"If the water god doesn't know, who else on Teyvat would know?"

"But from what I know, you have been using various forces to secretly investigate matters related to the prophecy. To be honest, your past performance seems to indicate that you don't know much about the prophecy."

"Ahahaha! So you've been paying attention to me this whole time? Villette, I never realized you were that kind of person."

"Ms. Funina, this is not the time to joke. What you are going to do requires a huge investment of both manpower and material resources. I just want a reasonable and accurate answer."

"Okay. Since you know I've been investigating secretly, I can only admit it - even as the God of Water, I'm not omnipotent, and I need a little help sometimes. And now, the investigation has yielded results, it's that simple."

"Yeah…"

"Yes."

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Navilette finally nodded. But before leaving, he looked at Wang Chen again: "Who is this...?"

"Then Mr. Villette, my name is Chen, and from today on I will serve as Lady Funina's guard."

"Can we talk about something alone?"

"Of course...but now is my working time, and I need Lady Funina's consent."

"I allow it, but don't talk too long, we have a lot of things to do later."

...

The distance from one office to another is not far, just a matter of going up and down the stairs.

While Wang Chen was still thinking about why Villette had asked him to come, Villette had already spoken: "The aura on you is very complex, some of which make me feel close... But, it's impossible, it's impossible for so many auras to appear on one person at the same time. Forget it, what I want to know most is - did you bring the information about the prophecy?"

With his arrival as the turning point, Funina had undergone such a big change, which could not be concealed, so Wang Chen did not deny it, but said: "I am very glad that I did not disappoint Lady Funina's expectations."

“…Is your source of information reliable?”

"It was 'we' who were able to predict the time of the prophecy. It was mainly due to Lady Funina's efforts."

"I know you, but at least in the hundreds of years since I came to Fontaine, I have never met anyone like you. Maybe you have never been to Fontaine, right?"

"Since you know me, that's easier to say. At least my safety should be questioned. As for how I can contact Funina, there are many ways to communicate without being noticed. I don't have to come to Fontaine in person."

“…I will still be wary of you.”

"It's okay... Let's make a bet. If Fontaine follows our steps and gets the chance to survive the prophecy, you will do me a favor unconditionally and will never break the law and hurt others."

"First you need to prove the reliability of the information you bring, and then you are qualified to drag me into the gambling game."

Only Funina could understand the story of the fox demon replacing the general. If it were shown to other people, it would be one thing if they didn't understand it, but if they did, Funina's acting would be exposed in advance.

If you want to help Furninna avoid getting hurt and let things develop according to the familiar trajectory, you need to help her play the role of the water god until the last moment.

So we can only convince Funina, and then Funina will convince others. All distrust can only be suppressed by Funina's identity as the God of Water. If the identity of the God of Water cannot suppress it, then we can only leave it to time.

Wang Chen smiled and said, "You will see my proof, Mr. Shuilong."

Villette's expression changed slightly: "Are you a dragon too?"

"I'm not."
