"Eh?! Isn't that Mu Yang? Why is he in Fontaine?!"
As soon as Paimon stepped outside, she spotted the Liyue person who ranked number one in her heart and cried out in surprise.
"I don't remember hearing that he was coming to Fontaine. Did you see wrong?"
Lumine had been inseparable from Mu Yang inside the Mirage, and she hadn't heard him mention any such plan.
Otherwise, they could have just come together.
"He's right there—how could I possibly mistake him!" Paimon turned Lumine's face in that direction.
[Paimon: That's my sponsor—how could I get it wrong?]
[No, wait—he's the sponsor and the head chef.]
Lumine looked and, sure enough, it was Mu Yang.
He had really come to Fontaine.
"What's wrong? You two look so excited—are you good friends?" Navia asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" The two nodded solemnly.
Mu Yang also walked toward them, since the purpose of his trip was Lumine.
The three exchanged simple greetings.
Paimon, afraid of leaving Navia out, was just about to introduce her.
But Mu Yang spoke first. "The boss of the Spina di Rosula, Miss Navia—pleased to meet you."
"Oh? You know each other?" Paimon asked stupidly again—Navia's earlier reaction clearly showed they didn't.
Mu Yang explained, "I came for the trade route at Yilong Wharf, so I looked into potential partners in advance."
Paimon scratched her head. "Oh, that's how it is, hahaha…"
Lumine put her hands on her hips. "White floaty, dummy!"
[Dumb Paimon]
[Floaty pet is like this]
"Partners?" Navia looked Mu Yang up and down.
No matter how long she looked, she couldn't tell what kind of business he was in.
Afterward, Mu Yang invited the three who had just finished eating to take a walk in Fontaine Court, talking as they strolled.
Now that Navia's father's case had been vindicated,
the development of the Spina di Rosula should no longer be confined to Poisson Town.
But after so many years, Navia still found it difficult to extend her reach from the Gray River back to the surface.
The Spina di Rosula did indeed need some way to break the deadlock.
Mu Yang's analysis left Navia stunned.
She felt even more admiration for the young man before her.
Was this intelligence really gathered just from information in the newspapers?
This deductive ability was simply extraordinary.
She asked, "Then does Mr. Mu Yang have any advice?"
"It's not advice—I'm just looking for a reliable partner."
Paimon bounced out with a big grin at that moment. "You can rest assured about that, Mu Yang—Navia is a very reliable boss."
"And she makes really delicious macarons?" Lumine added a teasing remark.
"Why are you keep tearing me down today!" Paimon stomped her foot in anger.
[Xiao Lumine is on point]
[Lumine with hands on hips.JPG—so badass]
Mu Yang didn't hold back either.
Navia was trustworthy.
Then, Mu Yang analyzed the situation of Port Romaritime from the perspective of merchants and tourists.
Finally, he asked Navia to conduct an on-site inspection from the viewpoint of a Fontainian merchant.
"This way, you should understand the intent behind what I'm saying."
After listening, Navia fell into thought.
Suddenly getting involved in Fontaine Court would indeed be a bit difficult.
But if she could secure the infrastructure projects in Port Romaritime and work inward from the outer port,
then her Spina di Rosula could really achieve it.
Plus, with Mu Yang's future supply from Yilong Wharf…
"Melus, Silver—we're heading to Port Romaritime right now, immediately!"
Navia snapped her fingers, and two men in black suddenly appeared.
"Yes, Young Lady!"
Navia said goodbye to Lumine and Mu Yang and left.
Watching her hurried departing figure, Paimon sighed, "Does it have to be that urgent?"
Lumine thought it was understandable. "She doesn't want Mr. Callas's Spina di Rosula to fade away in her hands, right? Thank you, Mu Yang."
"I'm the one who should thank you—if not for your connection, I wouldn't have been able to meet her so easily."
[Teyvat's king of connections]
[Connections? Wrong—Teyvat's succubus!]
[You know what, it's true—if not for the player's line, the characters in the game probably wouldn't meet each other easily]
[Not necessarily—before Lumine arrived, my wife wanted to bury Qiqi]
Mu Yang and Lumine were just exchanging polite pleasantries.
Their relationship was already very close—there was really no need for thanks.
Moreover, regarding this cooperation project with the Spina di Rosula, Mu Yang had his own private motive.
The current bases of the Spina di Rosula were mainly concentrated in Poisson Town.
And Poisson Town was the most tragic place in the entire Fontaine storyline.
When the Primordial Sea erupted, the residents suffered heavy casualties.
Even the two black-clad bodyguards from earlier would lose their lives there.
Mu Yang liked to play some heart-wrenching knives on the players.
But that didn't mean he would coldly watch civilians die when it was within his power to prevent it.
He wasn't that heartless.
Just like during the Liyue storyline back then.
He had still spent popularity points to search for those fishermen.
Mu Yang hoped that through this cooperation project in Port Romaritime, he could have as many people from Poisson Town as possible stay near Port Romaritime to work.
Then, he could urge the construction schedule a bit, getting them to come over for rush work.
That should allow them to weather this crisis.
This way, he would save lives without anyone suspecting "information Mu Yang."
It could even make players recall the previous Liyue storyline.
Since Mu Yang is an adeptus, perhaps he had foreseen this calamity, which is why he helped Navia and the others under such a pretext…
This would also be a reverse flag and a wave of popularity.
"So does Mu Yang have anything else to do now? It should take some time for Navia's reply, right?" Paimon asked.
"Please—we just came out of the Hotel Debord not long ago. You can't possibly still have room to eat, can you?"
Lumine had decided today to keep tearing Paimon down.
Watching the two banter with each other, Mu Yang waited until they finished joking around.
Only then did he tell Lumine the reason he had come looking for her.
Running into Navia earlier had actually been a coincidence.
The real purpose of his visit to Fontaine Court was—such and such, this and that!
Lumine frowned. "[Narzissenkreuz Ordo]? I don't think I've heard anyone mention it."
In fact, Lumine hadn't arrived in Fontaine much earlier than Mu Yang.
And right after arriving, she had been intercepted by the Hydro Archon Furina.
Then came days of continuous investigations and case-solving…
Only in the past few days had things calmed down.
Although she didn't know about the [Narzissenkreuz Ordo], she did know Alain.
Alain Guillotin, the famous great scientist of Fontaine.
Later generations often referred to this master by his surname [Guillotin].
His research direction was intelligent machinery.
Fontaine's advanced mechanical creations were all thanks to this Alain.
He was also the pioneer who developed [Primordial Seawater energy].
"When we first entered Fontaine, we heard from the navigator Miss Aubeil that Alain had invented talking and thinking machines hundreds of years ago…"
"At the time, we thought it was just a legend, but it turns out it was actually true."
Lumine held her chin, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Now, she was also interested in this matter.
My Lumine will definitely help out no matter what!
