Chapter 521 Hailu Port
After a long day and night, we finally arrived at the Harbor of Fontainebleau.
As this place is close to the desert area of Xumi, it is usually quite deserted and there are few people near the port.
However, the recent closure of Roudeng Port has directly caused a sharp surge in cargo volume and passenger traffic at Hailu Port!
At this moment, various types of ships, large and small, are anchored in the port.
Some are just simple and rustic wooden boats, while others are huge cruise ships.
They sway gently with the rhythm of the waves on the sparkling water that sparkles with tiny rays of light.
It is worth mentioning that the entire Fontaine area is about 100 meters above sea level, so the natural dividing line between it and the outside world is the majestic and huge waterfall.
The waterfall rushes down with a deafening roar.
In the past, the noise was sometimes so loud that it completely drowned out the movement of machinery and the groans of people in the port.
If you want to successfully reach the top of the waterfall and enter Fontainebleau, even with the help of a specially designed lifting mechanism, it will take some time.
At this moment, Ying was standing quietly at the dock of Hailu Port. She raised her head slightly, looking at the elevator in front of her, the majestic waterfall, and the people coming and going among them.
She couldn't help but exclaim.
"Wow, so this is Fontaine! The kingdom of water..."
Seeing this, Paimeng, who was standing by, hurried forward and enthusiastically introduced Fontaine to Ying briefly.
"I heard that Fontaine's industry is very developed, and there are all kinds of strange machines..."
At this moment, Shao Yun was holding onto the lamp post at the port, making low retching sounds from his throat.
"Ugh~"
Seeing this, Ying, who was standing by, walked up quickly, stretched out her hand and gently patted Shao Yun on the back.
"Shao Yun, are you okay? Cheer up!"
Shao Yun raised his head with difficulty and said painfully: "I am not a good sailor. I should have known that we should cross the desert to Nata for a 'vacation'..."
Before he finished speaking, another groan was heard from not far away.
Yan Fei was also in a bad condition at the moment. She covered her head tightly with one hand and pressed her abdomen with the other hand. Her steps were staggering and she looked dazed.
"I can't take it anymore. I feel so seasick. It feels like some terrible monster is trying desperately to rush out of my stomach..."
Seeing that the two of them had trouble even walking normally, Ying quickly said, "Then you two should take a good rest here for a while. Paimon and I will go buy you some drinks or other things."
At this time, Yan Fei, who was leaning against a box at the port, forced herself to cheer up and expressed her gratitude to Ying in a weak voice.
"Thank you so much, Ying..."
Shao Yun still had a look of despair on his face and waved his hand to signal them to go quickly.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road, I'll take a breath and slow down..."
……
Shao Yun and Yan Fei randomly picked a few cargo boxes at the port to use as temporary seats, then sat down on them, breathing heavily to relieve the unbearable seasickness symptoms.
The two of them sat there quietly, not knowing how long it had been.
Finally, Shao Yun and Yan Fei felt that their bodies were gradually adapting and the discomfort of seasickness was slightly alleviated.
At this moment, a message suddenly popped up from the system, indicating that he was currently in Fontaine and related prompt information.
[Your current honor level in Fontaine is: 0]
[High honor will make you respected, low honor will make people fear you. ]
……
After the two of them took a short rest, they still didn't see any signs of Ying and Paimeng.
So, in order to pass the waiting time, Shao Yun and Yan Fei started chatting.
Shao Yun's head was still a little dizzy. He asked in a daze, "By the way, Yan Fei, what are you doing in Fontaine? Are you here to attend some kind of legal exchange meeting between the two countries?"
Hearing this, Yan Fei gently shook her head, her face slightly pale and her voice slightly weak as she replied: "No, I came to Fontaine for a private matter..."
However, she paused for a moment before continuing, "But if I think about it carefully, the law exchange meeting between Liyue and Fontaine you just mentioned is indeed an interesting topic. If it really happens, I would really like to participate."
"I have indeed dealt with Fontaine Law, but most of it was about business laws, and I don't know much about it. I think it's important to know more about the laws of other countries."
"I have only studied Fontaine law in detail in the past month. If there is really an exchange meeting, I will also ask Fontaine's legal consultant for more advice."
Shao Yun continued to ask, "Is it because you bought something from Fontaine that turned out to be defective, so you came to complain?"
Yan Fei couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this and said, "Oh, then I have to buy some expensive 'defective products' to come to Fontaine in person. That's not it, it's like this..."
Having said that, Yan Fei was about to reveal the real purpose of her visit to Fontaine, but at this moment, Ying and Paimeng came back and interrupted the conversation between Shao Yun and Yan Fei.
Paimeng was seen waving a half-empty bottle of Fengda drink in his hand with great enthusiasm, and shouted, "Shao Yun, Yan Fei, look, we bought the drinks back!"
"Besides, we just made two new friends!"
Shao Yun reached out and took the bottle of orange drink that Ying handed over. When he heard that Ying and Paimon had made new friends, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"What the hell? New friends?"
Paimon nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's a new friend!"
Then she stretched out her hand and pointed behind her.
Shao Yun then looked in the direction of Paimeng's finger, and saw a pair of handsome brother and sister standing in front of him.
My brother wore a magician's top hat and a slim black suit jacket with a scalloped court-style bow tie. The bow tie was stacked layer by layer to the waist, adding a sense of layering and elegance to the overall look.
The lower body is matched with black stockings with suspenders design. This design is relatively rare in male characters, but it adds personality and uniqueness to the character.
She wore a pair of black leather shoes, which coordinated with the overall black tone.
My sister has a pair of cat ears on her head and a low ponytail.
She wore a tight-fitting dress with a big bow decoration on the back, which made her look charming.
There is a cyan bow on the collar, which contrasts sharply with the overall black tone and adds a visual highlight.
The lower body is matched with a black short skirt, the design of the skirt is similar to the double-layer design of a ballet skirt, which adds elegance to the overall shape.
She wore a pair of black stockings and high heels, which matched the design of the stockings on the boy next to her, but were more in line with the style of a female character.
At this moment, the cute boy wearing the magic hat took off his hat, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, and said enthusiastically,
"Hey! Hello, my name is Linnie, and the one next to me is my sister, her name is Linnet."
Linnet, who was standing next to Linny, looked a little shy and reserved. Her pair of small and exquisite cat ears were drooping slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.
She gently raised her hand, waved it towards Shao Yun and Yan Fei, and said softly, "Hello... hello..."
On the other side, Yan Fei picked up the drink in front of her and took a sip.
As the cool and sweet liquid slid into her throat, her slightly tired spirit was instantly restored a lot.
Then, she responded with a smile: "Hello, my name is Yan Fei, I am a legal consultant from Liyue, nice to meet you."
At the same time, Shao Yun, who had been silent all the time, quietly looked at the brother and sister Linnie and Linnet in front of him.
His expression seemed a little cold and indifferent, and he said lightly: "Hello."
Ying, who was standing aside, saw all of this. She could "understand" Shao Yun's mentality at the moment.
After all, it is human nature to be wary of strangers to a certain extent.
So, Ying gently comforted him, "Shao Yun, I think your attitude seems a bit too cold. Since we have met by chance, why not be a little more friendly."
"And someone helped us find the vending machine. Otherwise, we wouldn't know where to buy drinks."
Lini also stepped forward to smooth things over. He said sincerely, "Don't worry about it. It's human nature to be wary of strangers when you are in a foreign country!"
After saying that, he smiled at Shao Yun in a friendly manner.
Shao Yun stared at Lin Ni for a while, and then his tense face relaxed a little, and he introduced himself: "Well, you are smart. My name is Shao Yun, nice to meet you."
Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun jumped down from the shabby box he was sitting on, walked towards Lin Ni, and stretched out his right hand.
Seeing this, Lin Ni hurried forward and shook the hand that Shao Yun extended.
At the moment when the two hands touched, Shao Yun's eyes suddenly fixed, and he said meaningfully: "It would be best if we become friends, but if we become enemies, I will make you regret it."
After hearing this, Linnie couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
He forced a smile and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Haha, don't worry, we will definitely become good friends... Come on, cheers!"
As he said this, he smiled and handed the bottle of Fengda drink in his hand to Shao Yun.
Shao Yun was not polite. He clinked glasses with Lin Ni lightly, then raised his head and drank in big gulps.
Paimeng, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the atmosphere between Shao Yun and Lin Ni was quite harmonious.
She came forward and said to Shao Yun with a smile: "Shao Yun, don't always treat others as bad guys."
"I mean, how bad can the people we meet next be? Can they be worse than the Gilded Brigade in the desert, who are so evil and cruel, and the Fatui who are doing human experiments?"
"Let's have a drink together and make friends."
Linnie was drinking the drink in his hand. When Paimon uttered the three sensitive words "Fatu", he was choked by the drink.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A violent cough broke the silence around them. Linnie's face turned red and his eyes were almost choked with tears.
Seeing this, Linnett on the side reached out quickly and patted Linnie gently on the back.
"Brother, are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
Linny waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, and while feeling the burning pain in his throat, he said with difficulty: "No...it's okay, I just choked accidentally, don't worry, everyone, it's really okay..."
