Chapter 644 Visiting Baisong Town
At this moment, Paimon looked at Navia for some reason and asked, "Oh, now that we've mentioned the topic of nobility, Navia, are you a noble lady from Baisong Town?"
When Navia heard Paimon's sudden question, she was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing out loud.
But at the same time, she felt a little helpless, so she could only explain to Paimon with a smile: "How could I be a noble?"
"Although Uncle Miles calls me 'Miss', it doesn't mean that I am really of noble birth."
"In fact, I am just an ordinary girl."
As she spoke, Navia subconsciously reached out and gently stroked the sapphire necklace she wore around her neck. She already understood why Paimon had such a misunderstanding.
"Could it be that... Paimon saw me wearing this necklace and therefore mistook it for some priceless gem and therefore thought I was a noble?"
Paimon, realizing that he had made a fool of himself and got the situation wrong, seemed a little embarrassed.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! It seems that I judged people by their appearance. But, Navia, you are so noble and elegant, just like a noble lady in a storybook!"
Navia couldn't help but smile when she saw that Paimon mistakenly thought that she was from a noble family because of her outstanding temperament.
"Actually, I'm not a nobleman born with a silver spoon in my mouth in the traditional sense. But my father once taught me that even if a person is not born with noble blood, he must have the cultivation and accomplishment of a nobleman!"
As she spoke, Navia raised her hand slightly and began to recount one by one the little things her father "Cares" had taught her.
“My father told me that I should always behave elegantly, whether walking, standing or sitting, and have good manners, showing confidence and composure;
"We must continue to accumulate profound cultural heritage, read widely and acquire knowledge."
"And, no matter what kind of person you are facing, you should give them full respect and not look down on them or treat them arrogantly. At the same time, you should also learn to restrain yourself, control your emotions and words and deeds, and be careful in what you say and do..."
Navia talked endlessly about how her father had carefully educated her and brought her up, making it seem as if those heartwarming scenes were right before her eyes.
Just as everyone was listening with great interest, Navia suddenly changed the subject and brought the topic to Furninna.
She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Oh, I can't stop talking. Am I talking too much? Am I wasting Lady Funina's precious time?"
Before Funina could figure out how to respond to these words, Shao Yun took the opportunity to retaliate against Funina.
So, before Funina could speak, he interrupted with a fake smile and said, "Haha, it's okay, Navia, just feel free to speak up."
"This girl Funina ran away from home and has been under our care recently." After saying that, Shao Yun did not forget to cast a provocative look at Funina.
When Navia heard the news that Funina had run away from home, she asked in surprise, "Ah? Lady Funina ran away from home? Did she have a quarrel with her family... or with that Lord Villette?"
Then she sighed thoughtfully.
"I didn't expect that even the honorable Lord Water God would encounter these trivial family matters..."
"Do you need our Thorn Rose Club to help mediate this family conflict?"
Seeing this, Funina waved her hands hurriedly and explained: "Hey! Miss Navia, you must not be misled by Shao Yun!"
"Actually, I didn't leave Mo Mang Palace this time to run away from home. I just wanted to go out and explore the situation in various places in Fontaine."
"Don't worry, I will be back in a few days!"
When Navia learned about Furninna's "secret visit", her eyes rolled and she immediately came up with a plan.
She immediately invited Funina, "Oh, so that's how it is! Since Miss Funina wants to visit Fontaine, I wonder if you are interested in going to Baisong Town for a walk and a look?"
When Furninna heard Navia's active invitation to go to Baisong Town, she was obviously not expecting this to happen and was stunned for a moment.
It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she asked hesitantly, "Bai Song Town?"
Navia nodded confidently and said, "That's right, Lady Funina will visit Fontaine and will definitely go to Baisong Town, right?"
"As the president of the Thorn Rose Society, I should do my best to entertain you!"
Now Funina was in a dilemma. It would seem inappropriate to refuse. She had no choice but to agree.
So, Funina raised her chin and performed with a bit of arrogance.
"Well, of course! Since Miss Navia has invited me so warmly, how can I refuse? When the time comes, I will make sure that the residents of Baisong Town will deeply feel the blessing of God and bathe in the blessings of water!"
……
When Shao Yun heard what Funina said about letting the residents of Baisong Town bathe in the blessings of water, he immediately thought of a possible event in the future where a large number of people in Baisong Town would be dissolved by the original fetal sea water.
"It feels like hell..."
……
"Oh, that's great! Without further ado, let's set off for Baisong Town!" Before she finished speaking, Navia couldn't wait to reach out her hand, grabbed Funina's arm, and took her to Baisong Town immediately.
Finina quickly broke free from Navia's hand, then dodged and hid behind Clorinde.
She stuck her head out and looked up at the sky covered by the night, and asked in astonishment: "Ah? Are we going to Baisong Town so late? Miss Navia, don't you need to rest?"
When Navia heard this, she subconsciously looked up at the moon in the night sky, and then she remembered that it was already very late.
She smiled awkwardly, scratched her head and said, "Oh, look at my brain, I forgot the time. Well, Lady Furninna, we'll see you tomorrow!"
"But I have to hurry back to Baisong Town to make preparations to welcome your arrival!" After saying that, Navia turned around and left in a hurry, and her figure quickly disappeared in the night streets.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and Baisong Town was bustling with activity.
Funina kept her promise and showed up in the town as promised.
As soon as she appeared, she instantly attracted the attention of many Baisong Town residents.
People gathered around, their faces filled with ecstasy.
After all, he was meeting the God of Water, the big star of Fontaine, so it was normal for him to be a little enthusiastic.
After all, Funina usually wouldn't appear in Baisong Town...
Faced with such a warm and sincere welcome from the residents of Baisong Town, Funina gracefully displayed the demeanor and bearing that a big star should have.
She warmly shook hands and talked with every resident who came to welcome her, and from time to time she would offer a few caring words, making everyone present feel her grace.
In this way, after happily interacting with everyone in the crowd for a while, Funina came to the headquarters of the Rose Thorn Society under the guidance of Navia.
This unique building was actually converted from a huge ship. It looks particularly spectacular and majestic from a distance.
When they stepped onto the deck of the ship, what came into view was a long table covered with a tablecloth and filled with sumptuous delicacies.
Navia carefully prepared this feast to entertain Funina, Shao Yun and his party.
Funina also enjoyed it naturally.
……
After enjoying a delicious meal, Furninna was having a pleasant conversation with Navia.
At this time, Miles came in hurriedly with an engineering drawing in his hand.
"Miss, here I come!"
Hearing the voice, Navia immediately turned her eyes to Myles.
She quickly stood up, greeted him enthusiastically, and asked excitedly, "Uncle Miles, are those engineers from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences here?"
Miles smiled and nodded, and responded, "That's right, Miss. I have already arranged the people. Here is a copy of the design plan, please take a look."
As he spoke, he handed the engineering drawing in his hand to Navia.
Navia hurriedly took the blueprint, unfolded it impatiently, nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "Well, it's really good! Then let's start construction as soon as possible according to this plan."
"By the way, how is the investigation going into the source of that anonymous donation? Are there any clues?"
Myles thought for a moment, then answered truthfully: "We are still investigating with all our strength, Miss."
"Silver is in charge of following up. According to my estimation, there should be some progress in a few days."
Navia heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
She was extremely eager to know the identity of this mysterious kind-hearted person who donated money generously as soon as possible. After all, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring!
"We must find this kind-hearted person and hold a banquet to thank him. Or, maybe we can erect a statue or something to commemorate him?"
Shao Yun greeted Myles and said, "Hello, Mr. Myles, it seems that you are busy."
Miles smiled and replied, "Long time no see... As for my free time, it is my honor to share the worries of the young lady."
Paimon stared at the blueprint in Navia's hand. Driven by curiosity, he bravely asked, "Um... can I see what this blueprint is? I'm really curious!"
After hearing Paimon's request, Navia readily handed the drawing to Paimon and said, "Here, take it. If Paimon can understand it, you can try to help me!"
Paimon took the drawing with great joy and slowly unfolded it.
However, when his eyes came into contact with those dense and intricate lines and symbols, Paimon's head suddenly became dizzy.
"Hmm...well, it seems I've overestimated my abilities." Paimon couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, then rolled up the drawing with a wry smile and handed it back to Navia.
Seeing this, Navia began to explain to Paimon.
"Actually, what this blueprint depicts is that we plan to build a dam at the entrance of the cave in Baisong Town. By installing a sluice gate, we can control the size and direction of the water flow."
As Navia spoke, she pointed at the key parts on the drawing with her fingers.
"If we completely block the water, the lake below Baisong Town will become a stagnant pool."
"If this happens, pests like mosquitoes will multiply here in large numbers, and the whole town will be affected."
"Building a sluice gate on the dam can not only ensure normal water demand, but also play a waterproof role to a certain extent. Isn't it smart?"
After Navia's concise answer, Paimon finally understood.
"Oh, I see. I see."
Next, Navia began to carefully plan the use of the remaining anonymous donations.
"Well... In addition to what I mentioned before, we are also considering applying a layer of anti-rust paint to all the houses in Baisong Town."
"Also, should we expand Baisong Town? Oh, and that simple port also needs to be renovated to improve its transportation capacity and safety."
Once Navia's thoughts diverged, they could not be easily brought back. When she came to her senses, she found that her thoughts had drifted to the exaggerated level of reclaiming land to expand the land area of Fontaine.
"Oh no, no, we need to first see how much this anonymous donation is and whether it can support such a large project... We need to come up with a more practical and feasible plan."
Looking at Navia's calculating look, Furniture at the side couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Then he turned to Clorinde and asked, "Then, should we not disturb President Navia now? After all, she is busy planning these important things."
"And our visit to Baisong Town is almost over. What should we do next?"
Hearing Fernina's question, Clorinde immediately put forward her suggestions with great interest.
"How about this, Lady Fininna, let's go to my old home together? I can prepare some refreshments."
"You can take a rest while watching Mr. Shao Yun instruct me on how to practice shooting. It's just a way to relax and have fun!"
After saying this, Clorinde looked at Funina expectantly, waiting for her response.
After all, this was a disguised form of laziness, and Clorinde didn't know whether Funina would agree. She really wanted to learn more about shooting from Shao Yun.
When Funina heard that there would be delicious snacks to eat and shows to watch, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Okay! Then listen to Clorinde!"
"Ms. Navia, we will not bother you any more. Goodbye."
Navia came back to her senses and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Lady Finina! Let me see you off."
