"Welcome, Your Excellency [Servant] has informed us, and your room is still reserved for you."

Fontaine Nord Bank,

Dressed in a ceremonial costume, Thot bowed respectfully in front of Wang Daoyi.

Seriously, Ethota didn't like the king,

The last time this god lived temporarily in the Northland Bank, it brought great pressure to the Northland Bank,

Even the Shadow Court agents who were watching at the door of the Northland Bank were a lot more.

The gravitational pull of the Lord of the Red Sands attracted the attention of a certain high-ranking Fontaine to the Northland Bank, causing many of their plans to fall silent.

This time the Lord of the Red Sand came again, and although it was not known how long he would stay, it was certain that their Fatui would begin to be silent again.

Oh, no, Mistress Arechino gave me the mission,

They also need to send people to collect information on the personnel of the Academy of Fontaine, and carry out the poaching.

Ethota even had some suspicions that the god was doing it on purpose.

It just so happens that these silent manpower can be used to help this lord of the red sand dig people.

"Long time no see, Isota, please help me prepare some bait and fishing gear, fishing activities can not be stopped, besides, I heard that there is a show at the Opéra de Occiclide recently? Please help me book a ticket. ”

Wang Daoyi nodded at Isota, with a smile on his face, if it weren't for the fact that the Fatui on the side knew about the grievances between this crown and them, and thought that the other party and them were really friends.

Isota's face remained unchanged, and he still had a faint smile: "A pair of fishing gear, some bait, and tickets for the performance of the Opéra Opera, can be delivered to your door before dinner today." ”

Wang Daoyi actually doesn't particularly like fishing.

But there's a bunch of cuties in the place where he can't resist fishing.

Think about it, while you're fishing, there are several cute Meluson pulling on you, asking you for fish to eat.

That's a beautiful thing.

It just so happened that Albedo also went to Merusin's side, and he went fishing by himself, and he was able to talk to Albedo.

"It's really good, your efficiency is still so efficient." Wang Daoyi praised it, and then walked to the inside of the Northland Bank on his own.

Having lived here for a while, he is naturally familiar with the layout of the place.

"Thank you for the compliment." Ezota followed behind the king and did not say anything more.

Facing a seemingly friendly but actually malicious being.

The more you say, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

Coming to the room where he had lived for a long time, Wang Daoyi looked around for a week, and then nodded with satisfaction,

That's the good thing about the Fatui, they're very efficient, and when they can't beat them, they're really duty-bound.

The room was cleaned and clean, and there were no hands or feet.

"Go down and get what I want as soon as possible."

Wang Daoyi waved his hand, and then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, when will Arecino come over?" ”

Ethot froze slightly, but quickly recovered: "Lord Arechino did not inform me. ”

In fact, she knew the time of Arethino's action, but in the face of Wang Daoyi, she still didn't say it.

The Lord of the Red Sands once attacked the [servant] Arychino and almost killed him, although not many people know about this matter, but Ethota happened to be one of them.

In Ethot's opinion, revealing the news of Arechino to the Lord of the Red Sands is very dangerous, and it may affect Arechino's life.

Pouting, Wang Daoyi naturally heard the concealment in Easote's words.

But he didn't care, it didn't matter anyway, this was Fontaine, and no matter how much trouble there was, it was Fontaine's business.

As long as I can bring the researcher back to Chisha, it's fine.

Seeing Solter walk out of the room,

Wang Daoyi suddenly spoke again: "Oh yes, help me buy a dessert, you should know which one." ”

Outside the door of the room,

Ethort paused, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, but he pressed it down, and stiffly pulled out a smile: "Okay, your majesty." ”

Wang Daoyi in the room ignored her, waved his hand, and the door of the room was closed.

Ethota turned around, the anger in her eyes finally uncontrollable, and she quickened her pace to leave the place.

She's not an angry person.

It's just that the provocation of the Lord of the Red Sand is too obvious.

If you have any requirements, you don't finish it all at once, just pull it a little bit, it's really disgusting.

First asked for fishing gear and tickets, tugged at it and asked for Arecino's whereabouts, thinking that when the reception was about to end, he would ask for dessert.

It's nothing when you put it together, but when you pull it out a little bit, it's very uncomfortable.

It's like you have completed Party A's order, and Party A has increased its demand.

And it's not just adding it once, but adding demand again and again.

Back in the Fatui Room,

There are already a lot of Fatui officials gathered here.

"Lord Ethot."

When they saw Isot returning, they arose.

Isot waved her hand: "Prepare a piece of fishing gear and bait, as well as tickets for the performance of the Opéra Piracle to the Lord of the Red Sands, and besides, who took the Lord of the Red Sands to the dessert shop last time, and asked him to buy a dessert... Forget it, let's take all of today's desserts, and then send them to the Lord of the Red Sands as well. ”

"Okay, I'll go." Someone immediately nodded and got up to do these things.

Others still looked at Esoth: "My lord, our actions ......"

"Except for the collection of information about the Heart of God, all other operations have been suspended, and the data has been sealed and silenced to be maintained." Essothe's expression was grim.

In the days when Arecino was not in Fontaine, everything the Fatui did in Fontaine could be said to be her word.

Suspend the operation and seal the data, and basically declare a project a failure.

The next time you want to restart, the information in hand may be outdated.

As soon as Wang Dao stays here for a day, the Fatui will lose a lot of information and funds.

Although Ethota knew that Arecino would certainly not blame her, after all, Ethota had already done it to minimize the damage.

But the Fatui are at the top, and there's more than just Arechino.

Will Pantarone, the financier of the Fatui operation, approve of Ethot's silent choice to 'curry' the Lord of the Red Sands?

Ethor thought for a moment, considering the rumors among the Fatui about the festivals of the rich man and the Lord of the Red Sands.

She felt that the [rich man] would definitely give her little shoes to wear.

The bottom of my heart flashed with depression, and in the end I could only sigh slightly: "Alas~"

What can she do?

Although she seems to have a high status among the Fatui, she is just a small leader compared to those executives.

It's just that she's a little bigger than the other bosses.

But the grudge between the Fatui and the Lord of the Red Sand weighed on her shoulders,

Ether was depressed.

"Your Excellency—" a cry will awaken Thorte from her depressed thoughts.

"Hmmm! I'm sorry, I'm distracted. Solt put away her thoughts and said sorry with a blank face.

Neither the tone nor the expression looked like an apologetic look.

The Fatui officials were naturally not people without eyesight, and they immediately sensed that Esoter was in a very bad mood.

Several Fatui officials glanced at each other, and they all saw the speculation in each other's eyes.

It seems that the arrival of the crown has had a greater impact than they guessed.

The people below are frowning, and Sot is too lazy to care,

She just said coldly: "As for the people who have been silent, all of them will be sent out to collect information from the Academy of Fontaine, and in seven days, within seven days, all the information about the existing projects, personnel, and achievements of the Academy of Fontaine, will be sent to me." ”

Seven days?

The Fatui officials looked at each other,

While our intelligence system is indeed powerful,

After the suspension of other projects, the staff is also very abundant,

But after investigating the Academy of Sciences of Fontaine in seven days, is this a little too much to think of ourselves?

It's not a small street shop, it's the Academy of Sciences of Fontaine, one of the highest institutions in Fontaine.

Although it is a little down-and-out now, it is also officially because of the downfall that the system has been destroyed, and it is more difficult to investigate.

On the main seat,

Isot stared coldly: "What? Can't do it? ”

The people below want to reply that they really can't do it.

But looking at Easothe's indifferent eyes, he could only swallow his saliva in the end, and promised with difficulty: "It can be done, my lord." ”

However, these people are all officials, so naturally they are not rice buckets.

After taking on a difficult task, he did not directly mess up, but studied it carefully.

So Sothose sat on the throne and watched them take counsel.

soon

Someone looked up at Essota, "Lord Essote, may I ask what this information is being collected for?" We need to determine what type of data to collect first. ”

Thot frowned slightly, and then spoke: "Talent, the identity of the researcher of the Academy of Fontaine, background, personal inclination, the current treatment, the type of research he is responsible for, and the progress of the research. ”

She didn't say that it was done for the Lord of the Red Sands.

Because it's so demoralizing.

was lived in the nest, and didn't dare to say a word,

To help people is somewhat too humble;

After listening to Isota's request, the Fatui officials' frowning brows relaxed.

I thought it was to search for information and information about the entire Academy of Fontaine,

It turned out that it was only about the researcher.

That's a lot of work.

Of course, Ether didn't say anything else that didn't need to be investigated.

It's just,

Since the leaders have said that talent is more important,

It's understandable that the resources are tilted to this side, and the other aspects are a little slower.

On the throne, Ethor sighed slightly,

How else can this group of people be officials?

This hand is beautiful to take the weight and avoid the light.

However, why do you have so many old fritters under your hands?

Can you come here and have a few people who can really work?

Seeing the relief of his subordinates, Ether became more and more depressed in his heart.

She doesn't want to do it anymore, so let's go out and do the task.

Anyway, with her strength, whether it's an investigation mission or an assassination mission, it's no problem.

"Alright, don't mumble, let's do it as soon as possible, Lord Arechino takes this matter very seriously."

As soon as Arecino's name came out,

There was an instant silence in the conference room.

The Fatui, who had been relieved, raised their hearts to their throats again.

Lady Arechino also takes this matter seriously?

Some people panicked, but others their eyes lit up.

People who are not capable enough are afraid of messing up themselves.

And those who have the ability to have ideas naturally have a further meaning.

Ethot smiled slightly: "I will report this task to Lord Arechino in its entirety." ”

What is a complete debriefing,

That is, all your merits and demerits will be reported,

There are no subordinates to take the blame for you, and there will be no boss to take credit for you.

It's the best working environment for a capable person.

really

As soon as Soth's words came out,

Immediately, someone stood up: "Lord Isot, rest assured, our third squadron will not let you down." ”

"Hmph, our sixth squadron has always been in charge of the ruins of the Academy of Sciences, and this time, the sixth squadron is welcome."

"Joke, how many people are still there at the site of the Academy of Sciences? Can you still dig up the list of people from the ruins? Our First Squadron has been operating in the Fontaine Court, and we have a lot of information that will surely find all the researchers hiding in the crowd. ”

……

Looking at the passionate appearance of his subordinates,

A hint of mockery flashed in Sotho's eyes,

If these people knew that the result of their last efforts would be to be used by Lord Arechino to 'play' with the Lord of the Red Sands, I don't know what they would think.

Oh, as long as Mistress Arecchino can give a reward, or even just a few compliments, these people will be willing.

The mockery in his eyes was hidden, and Sotho's face became a little serious: "Then don't talk nonsense, go to work, remember, the sooner the better, but before Lord Arechino arrives, you can't touch or hurt any researcher." ”

The fools echoed in unison.

Although the requirements are a little more, it seems to be similar to their colleagues in other areas.

It's nothing more than investigating talents, and maybe in the end these talents will become everyone's colleagues in the winter.

The Fatui officials moved out of the conference room,

Leave Sotho alone to think.

……

In a luxurious room,

Wang Daoyi sat at his desk, flipping through the Fontaine books in his hand, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's not a very advanced book.

It's just that some good deeds have collected and sorted out all kinds of miraculous surprises and reversals that have occurred in Fontaine over the past hundred years.

I have to say that in the land of Fontaine,

Some bizarre cases, with the trial process of Fontaine's performance,

These cases are becoming more and more like stories.

There is a feeling of watching a detective.

However, what Wang Dao smiled at was not the case complex in the book,

Although the case is wonderful, it is only the extent to which he kills time.

He was laughing at the Fatui in the secret room downstairs.

He was smiling at a tired Eathoth.

This Fatui leader, who seems to be a strong woman, is actually not that tough.

Wisps of gold swirled in Wang Daoyi's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after,

'Toot toot. ’

There was a knock at the door,

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a familiar Fatui entered, still holding something in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I'll bring you something."

The Fatui with fishing gear and bait in their hands said respectfully.

But there was a lot of sadness in my heart.

He is the guide of the Fatui who received Wang Daoyi last time,

That is, because he had received Wang Daoyi before, so the job of being Wang Daoyi's 'follower' this time fell directly on him.

"Oh, it's you, just put things down."

Wang Dao didn't raise his head, still sitting there reading a book.

The Fatui guide didn't dare to say anything more, put the thing in his hand aside, and then waved his hand,

Outside the door, several Fatui walked in with their things in their hands.

Because the Lord of the Red Sand did not say what dessert to eat,

So the Fatui bought out today's dessert.

Placing the dessert neatly on the table in the center of the room, the Fatui quietly exited the room,

The Fatui guide was the last to go, and took the door with him.

From beginning to end, Wang Daoyi was reading the book and did not look up at them.

……

meanwhile

Jumping up and down, Ms. Funnina arrives at her favorite dessert shop under the protection of the guards.

"Boss, let's have a limited dessert today."

After a fight with the Traveler, although she didn't win, she didn't lose either, and Funina was in a good mood, so she rewarded herself for dessert.

The owner of the dessert shop looked embarrassed: "This, this, Lord Funina, today's dessert has been bought." ”

"What? Gone? Funina's eyes widened.

This dessert shop is limited and expensive, and although it tastes very good, it is actually bought by regular customers, and it is rare for it to be sold out so early.

The owner of the dessert shop nodded: "The people from Northland Bank have directly bought all the desserts for today, you know, the desserts I have here are not only the most attentive, but also the ingredients are the freshest, there are no more materials to make more desserts today, I'm really sorry, Lord Funingna." ”

Northland Bank?

Buying desserts?

Not caring about the dessert owner's apologies, Funina didn't know why, and seemed to remember some bad memories.

It was here before, the guy who scared himself, and he was followed by the people of Northland Bank!

Don't...... The man who scared me is here again?

"Is that the Northland Bank guys? Did that person come last time? Funina hurriedly asked.

"Last time?" The dessert boss was stunned for a moment, and then remembered, "Oh, you said last time, Mr. I'm sorry, he didn't come, only people from Northland Bank came today." ”

The people of Fontaine don't hate the Northland Bank, probably because they were beaten by Wang Daoyi in Liyue.

Pantarone's actions have eased a lot lately, and Northland Bank doesn't look like a rapidly expanding financial behemoth.

On the contrary, it provides a high-quality savings business for many Fontaine.

"Don't say it, the people at Northland Bank are really generous, and they don't bargain."

The dessert owner said to himself,

I didn't notice that Funingna's eyes in front of her were a little out of focus.

Suddenly,

Fu Ningna's whole body was shocked: "No, it's terrible, I have to go back to Momang Palace." ”

Thinking about it, Funina stood up: "Okay, since the dessert is gone, then I'll leave first, and I'll send someone to buy it tomorrow." ”

Yes, although she was ready to hide in the Momang Palace for a while, Funingna still did not give up the desserts here.

It's a big deal that you can't come by yourself, so send someone over.

"Oh, okay, Lady Funina, go slowly."
