Chapter 703 He Has the Potential to Be a Father
"Making this pouch must have been expensive. I've been here for two days, and this city called Fontaine shows absolutely no sense of urgency, including our Water God... Even the government, officials, and nobles of Fontaine haven't prepared for this, yet you're tirelessly making preparations to save Fontaine..."
Xu Ning took a sip of his drink and asked leisurely, "...So, from what standpoint are you doing these things, Grand Magician Linni?"
Linni smiled slightly. "From...the perspective of a Fontainebleau resident."
What is the stance of the Fontainebleau people?
Xu Ning unconsciously pursed his lips. He knew that his expression would be seen as sarcastic by others, but he didn't care.
Just at this moment, you suddenly appear beside Sora, carrying a sense of righteous mission, guiding the trajectory of the chosen one, yet you smile and talk to me about the position of the Fontaine people.
"Great Magician, do you know? Many times, in my mind, I always associate magicians with liars, after all, you both achieve success through deception. But if we really want to save Fontaine, we must be open and honest."
Okay, I'll tell you a secret, and you answer one question honestly, okay?
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Ni and waited for his reply.
"Okay, just ask."
Linni thought for a moment and answered softly.
Xu Ning shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll tell you the secret first. If all your people are from Fontainebleau, then remember not to go up against me, because I can easily 'dissolve' you on the spot."
Lin Ni, who had been calm the whole time, suddenly changed his expression, but Xu Ning did not give him time to think about the meaning behind his words.
Xu Ning spoke again, "Now that you've finished telling me the secret, I have some questions to ask. I only know that your name is Linni, so is your surname Shenetsevich?"
Linni smiled bitterly. Was this the pressure from the Liyue Drunkard? She had heard that the Drunkard was ruthless and dared to mess with any Enforcer, and even played a role in the Lady's downfall. What was the point of lying to someone like that who had come to her?
And since you've threatened me with "dissolving," what else can I do but nod?
However, his father never said that he couldn't reveal that he was a member of the Fools, since this identity would be very useful for the later plans.
Seeing Lin Ni nod, Xu Ning was quite satisfied with this "open and frank" attitude.
"Who is the executive officer in charge of Fontaine affairs this time? We met briefly a few days ago and didn't even exchange names."
Linni turned around in surprise, "You were the one who fought Father that day?"
"Father?"
Xu Ning frowned. The person he was fighting seemed to be a domineering, white-haired beauty. What was this "father" thing?
Just then, Kong and Paimon, who were walking behind Lynette, hurried a few steps forward. "Hey, you big drunkard, look ahead!" "Big brother, that's..."
Ahead was a shop with a huge sign at the top, adorned with lightning bolts that resembled Thor's hammer, indicating that this was their destination—Beaumont Workshop.
The area in front of the workshop was bustling with activity at this time.
It wasn't the kind of business that was booming, but rather the kind where a bunch of people were having a heated fight in front of the store.
The battle was between one person and a group of people, and it was clear that the group was going to lose.
Xu Ning laughed and turned to look at Lin Ni, "You're not saying that this governor is your father, are you? I didn't even know this guy had the potential to be a dad!"
Linni shook her head in surprise, "How is that possible? Although this young master is also an executive, he has absolutely no connection with our Hearth House."
The House of Hearths reminded Xu Ning of this organization.
According to the information about the Winter Executor shared by the young master, the current leader of the House of Hearths is an Executor known as "Servant".
In the young master's account, this "servant" was a madwoman.
This does match the white-haired beauty he saw that night, but having the children call him "father" sounds somewhat inexplicable.
In the time it took to exchange a few words, the battle on the young master's side also came to an end.
Those people were not weak in combat, but they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. If the young master got serious, it would only take a moment.
It seems this guy was just looking for fun, but if the fight doesn't end soon, the mechanical guards patrolling the street corner will turn back.
At this moment, the young master also saw Xu Ning and his group, laughed and said, "I'm done playing," and immediately used his strength to knock down several of the guys.
However, when attacking the last person, the young master's movements suddenly faltered, and he was almost injured by a counterattack.
Although this person soon followed in his companion's footsteps, this scene left a mark on Xu Ning's eyes.
"Hey, you guys are all here in Fontaine too? It's so lively! I never thought I'd run into so many friends on vacation."
Linnie and Linette exchanged a glance. They seemed surprised that the young master could still smile and say the word "friend" to the drunkard Xu Ning.
Why is the young master here? It's all due to pressure from the upper echelons of the Winter Solstice. He's been "forced" to go on vacation, which actually means he's temporarily not allowed to participate in any operations.
And the one who brought about this result was none other than the drunkard standing at the front.
Xu Ning was too lazy to put on an act in front of a bunch of kids, so he pointed at the group of people lying on the ground.
"You must have a lot of free time to lay a hand on someone like this."
The young master chuckled and said, "I didn't hit them because I was itching for a fight. It was an act of bravery, and it was also a case of passive self-defense. Even if it goes to the Fontaine Court, I can still justify it. Besides, these people don't have the guts to sue me."
After saying that, the young master asked curiously, "What brings you all the way to Fontaine?"
Xu Ning pointed to the hammer-shaped sign behind him, "Let's talk business."
A woman with fairly good looks walked out of the shop, but perhaps due to her profession, her features were slightly angular.
She first thanked the young master, then turned to Linni and smiled, "Let's go with the magic pocket. We've made several batches already, and it's still not enough? Same as always, you'll have to find the materials yourself..."
Linni laughed, "Thanks to the travelers' help this time, there are plenty of sea dew flowers..."
Xu Ning looked at Kong and took out a large cloth bag from the Dust Song Pot. It was filled with a kind of blue flower with beautiful colors. The flowers were so plump that they looked like water-soaked bubble cotton.
"Wow, that's quite a lot. Is this young man a chosen one with the Water-type Divine Eye? So many flower stamens could make quite a few pockets."
The shopkeeper picked up the bag and looked at Xu Ning again. "This person looks unfamiliar. Is he here to buy something, make something, or simply to chat with me?"
Xu Ning laughed when he heard this, and suddenly remembered Sister Ying'er who sold porcelain. She was just as enthusiastic as this one, making it hard to resist.
I glanced at the forging furnace in the shop that was automatically stamping metal blocks.
"Let's chat first. If things go well, I'd like to do a big deal with the shop owner."
