On the way back to the Rose Stronghold, Navia was also chatting with Miles Silver about today's events.

They are not optimistic about the official investigation into the disappearance of the girl, and those who are in high positions cannot be exhaustive, and no one knows how many undercover agents there are in the garrison.

"Miss, be careful!"

Miles was the first to sense the crisis.

Before they knew it, several guards were converging on them, and after getting close to a certain range, they attacked them without hesitation.

There are too many security agencies, and even if the three of them are well-skilled, it is still a little difficult to resist.

Suddenly, Navia saw a familiar shadow.

The figure, sword in hand, rushed into the guards with lightning speed, the bullet grazing her hair without hurting her in the slightest.

In the flash of lightning, the security organs fell without resistance as if they had been chopped melons and vegetables.

"Clorind......" Navia looked at her with a complication.

As Fontaine's strongest dueling agent, Clorinde's eyes dodged and did not make eye contact with her.

"Thank you very much for your shot. But why are you here? ”

"I... I just thought you'd be more dangerous lately, so I'm just following you......"

"I think. Following me without my knowledge should be called "stalking", right?"

Navia's attitude towards her was not good, because this was the one who ended her father's life, and despite the rules that required her best in the duel, she still faced this person calmly.

Clorinde was silent for a moment:

"This is Mr. Careth's last wish, I cannot fail him, and I must keep you safe.

"It's no secret that you're helping Linny investigate today, the newspapers have already published that the Fontaines will be dissolved by the water of the primordial sea, and my instincts tell me that you're being targeted by the people behind the scenes......"

"What else do you know?"

……

Back at the hotel, Jiang Bai found that Alhaithham's door was open, and when he looked inside, he was sitting on the sofa, holding today's newspaper.

Jiang Bai knocked on the door and walked in.

He glanced at the newspaper in Alhaithham's hand, looked at the big words on the front page, and was amazed:

"The efficiency of the Steam Bird report is really fast, it's only been half a day, and the quotation has actually been on sale."

Alhaitham still looked at the newspaper and didn't raise his head, "News is the most time-sensitive thing, especially this kind of big news that is enough to sensational the whole Fontaine, if you slow down, your performance will be surpassed by other newspapers." ”

"You still know this?"

"I've read some books about journalism."

"Your reading is really extensive......"

Jiang Bai sat down on the sofa next to him and poured himself a glass of water.

"How's your cooperation with Fontaine?"

"I've already met the Supreme Inquisitor, and he doesn't object to the outflow of Fontaine's gear machinery technology, but technology alone is not enough, and energy is needed. Fontaine's barren energy is not stable and needs to be improved, or a different energy source can be tried.

"Although the Grand Inquisitor is not opposed to the outflow of technology, if you want to master the manufacturing technology and bring it back to Sumeru, you have to negotiate with the company that controls the patent......"

All in all, it's an extremely complex and cumbersome process.

Managing the bargaining chips alone is enough of a headache, but for Alhaithham, it's all within reach.

I have to say that Nahida's vision is really good, if it were someone else, these things may not be able to be done.

"It's complicated, it feels like you're not going to be here for a month."

"There's plenty of money to keep us going for a long time."

"I hope Fontaine can be more stable during this time......" Jiang Bai sighed.

The fact that people can be dissolved is like the tip of an iceberg finally showing its face, and there is always a feeling that something bigger will happen later.

Alhaitham put down the newspaper in his hand and picked up the black tea.

"Ever heard of a law?"

"What?"

"The more worrying things are, the more they will happen. So, no matter what the future holds, keep a normal mind. ”

"I was really appeased by you to ......"

"I'm just stating a fact."

……

The next day, several people met on time at the agreed place.

Navia had big dark circles under her eyes, and Jiang Bai's spirit was not very good.

Paimon looked at Navia and then at Jiang Bai, "What's the matter with you guys, why don't you all look like you haven't slept well?" ”

"I had a nightmare last night, and I dreamed that the hall master turned into a water ......"

This dream was a bit outrageous, but the feeling of loss in the dream made him not slow down for a long time.

"It was a terrible nightmare......"

The thought that the walnuts would turn into water made Paimon's whole body feel bad.

"What about you, Navia?"

"Something happened when I went back last night."

Nanavia told me about the siege of the security organs.

Paimon was shocked again, "This happened!" ”

Miles said, unable to hide his concern in his words: "Miss has been targeted by the people behind the scenes, and the security agencies that surrounded us last night were all unnumbered, and they were all security agencies that were not in the record. ”

Navia looked very open, and the soldiers came to cover the water.

"But this also gives us a clue, there must not be many people who can mobilize so many security agencies, and if we follow this direction, we may be able to find out something......"

"Without further ado, let's go!"

After a busy morning, nothing was found.

There are so many people who can afford to have so many security agencies that it is difficult to find out anything if they can't narrow it down further.

This is also the reason why the other side will use the security agency so blatantly.

"I, the boss of the Thorn Rose Club, will invite you to dinner at noon today!"

"Okay, it's only been a few days since I came to Fontaine, and I've had a lot of meals!"

"This is the Debord Hotel, I came to my father a few times when I was young, but when I grew up, I rarely came, and I don't know how it tastes now......"

"It's okay, we don't pick, it's just that Paimeng's mouth is a little tricky."

Jiang Bai thinks that he is a person who can eat even the dark dishes of the hall master, so he is naturally not afraid of undelicious meals.

Paimon puffed up, "What, I won't pick it!" Don't pay attention to this guy's words! ”

"Hahahaha, since this hotel has been open for so many years, it is not far off." Navia was amused by them.

"A la carte! What do you drink and how is the Fonta? ”

"Hello guests, this is your Fonta."

The waiter quickly brought the dishes and drinks to the table.

Paimon couldn't wait to quench his thirst.

"Why is this Fonta salty, not tasty at all?"

"Salty? I'll taste it. ”
