Chapter 671 Amber is coming
Chapter 671 Amber is here
Time returns to the present.
After listening to Alechino's account of Navia's visit to her four days ago, Shao Yun quickly connected this information with the fact that Linnie and his group had stolen the wallet and were about to be sent to Melo Petersburg.
After thinking for a while, Shao Yun asked, "So, you asked Navia to send Linny, Linnet, and Femini to Melo Petersburg?"
Alechino nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes, that's right. And it seems that the effect is quite good. Linni, Linnet and Femini have successfully arrived in Melo Petersburg."
Shao Yun frowned and asked, "So, the last time these three kids stole someone's wallet, they actually wanted to sneak into Melo Petersburg, and then I messed it up?"
The corners of Alechino's mouth rose slightly, and he clapped gently to express his appreciation for Shao Yun's understanding.
"Yes, that's it."
"But I also know that it's because of Villette. He must have noticed something, so he sent you to send Lini and the others back, and by the way, to remind me."
As soon as one problem is solved, another one pops up.
Shao Yun continued to ask: "Why do you want to go to Melo Petersburg? I mean, haven't you cooperated with the Fontaine officials? Can't you go openly?"
Alechino looked up helplessly and was speechless about Shao Yun.
"There is an exception clause in my cooperation with Villette, which means that we, the Fatui, cannot go to Melo Petersburg to investigate. Therefore, we can only come up with this not-so-honest method."
Shao Yun's doubts were not dispelled by Alechino's explanation. He continued to ask questions like "a hundred thousand whys".
"Why did you search Mello-Petersburg, then? Is there anything special there?"
Shao Yun was really puzzled. Since Tartaglia had already brought Tok back to Winter, why did Alecino still care so much about that prison?
Just when Shao Yun was full of doubts, Alechino showed a mysterious smile.
"Since you are so interested, I might as well tell you." Alechino said slowly, "I suspect that the Heart of the Water God is in Melo Petersburg."
Shao Yun was surprised when he heard this and asked, "What? Do you suspect that the Heart of God is in Melo Petersburg?"
Alechino nodded and continued to explain: "This is not groundless. I traced the flow of a huge amount of money and found that it eventually flowed into Melo Petersburg."
"So I have a bold guess. What do you think? Could it be that the Water God wants to use the Heart of God to do something, but in order to conceal it from others, he set the location there?"
Shao Yun drew random circles in the air with his left hand and said, "I thought you had already reached some kind of deal with Villette..."
"Although I don't know the details of the transaction, I have roughly guessed that you and Villette have reached a cooperation. It should be that you help Fontaine overcome the prophecy crisis in exchange for the Heart of God."
Alechino nodded slightly and said, "You guessed right, but I won't put all my eggs in one basket."
Then, Alechino changed the subject and asked Shao Yun, "Let me ask you, if, in the end, we, the Fatui, have spent so much manpower and resources, but have not received the compensation we deserve, what do you think I will do?"
Shao Yun heard this and answered seriously: "If it were me, and I worked so hard but didn't get the promised reward, I would definitely rob it myself."
Alechino was quite satisfied with Shao Yun's answer and praised him, "Haha, yes, I thought so too."
"So, no matter what you do, you have to be prepared for both situations."
Shao Yun said casually: "Okay..."
Alechino had already told Shao Yun all the plans that he shouldn't have told.
For safety reasons, she suggested: "I hope Mr. Shao Yun will not interfere with my plan. Of course, I don't think you have any reason to stop me."
Shao Yun quickly waved his hands and once again made his position clear to Alechino.
"I am not interested in the Heart of God at all. Don't worry, I will never stop you."
"As long as you don't have time to cause trouble for Ying and Paimeng... Of course, I will also take good care of Ying and Paimeng."
Seeing that Shao Yun implicitly promised that he would not interfere with her plan, Alechino felt relieved and expressed her gratitude to Shao Yun.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Shao Yun knew that he had obtained the information he deserved, so he didn't waste any more time in the Buffati Mansion.
“You should be thankful that you can communicate.”
Just as Shao Yun was about to leave the reception room, Alechino suddenly said, "Wait a minute..."
Shao Yun stopped and looked back at Alechino, waiting for her to continue.
Alechino hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to make his request.
"Please don't tell Villette about our conversation today. This is my reward for telling you about Navia, okay?"
Shao Yun looked at Alechino, was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Got it. I won't tell that Villette."
……
After leaving the Buffati Mansion, Shao Yun walked hurriedly towards the Ting District waterway hub.
He was going to Clorinde's hometown in Baisong Town to tell her the clues he had found.
As Shao Yun walked, he recalled what Alechino had told him about Navia asking her to borrow money, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Two billion, Arlecino really doesn't take money seriously... I wonder if the 'rich' will go crazy because of this expenditure."
After he finished sighing, Shao Yun said to himself: "Okay, Clorinde doesn't have to worry, and Navia doesn't have to worry about not borrowing money from the Northland Bank."
"But if Navia really borrows money, what will Clorinde do...Should she take the opportunity to scare her?"
Just as Shao Yun was thinking about whether to scare Clorinde, he had already walked to the square at the intersection of the waterway hub in the Fontaine area and the Vasari Corridor.
At this moment, a female voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar suddenly sounded in Shao Yun's ears.
"Excuse me, have you seen the person in the photo?"
The citizen of Fontaine who was questioned shook his head and replied apologetically: "Sorry, I don't think I have seen this person..."
Shao Yun stopped involuntarily and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a lively girl with long chestnut hair standing not far away. She often wore a striking red rabbit ear knot on her head. She was holding a photo in her hand and asking passers-by one by one whether they had seen the person in the photo.
A trace of surprise flashed across Shao Yun's eyes, and he asked in disbelief: "Amber?"
Hearing Shao Yun's voice, Amber immediately turned around.
For a moment, their eyes met in the air.
Amber ran towards Shao Yun excitedly, shouting as she ran: "Mr. Shao Yun, that's great! It really is you!"
Seeing Amber rushing towards him at full speed, Shao Yun quickly stretched out his hand and gestured for her to calm down with a smile.
"Wow, wow, don't be so excited, what's wrong?" Shao Yun was obviously surprised and happy about Amber's appearance.
Amber stopped in front of Shao Yun, his chest heaving violently, and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Eula?"
Shao Yun looked at the out-of-breath Amber in front of him and quickly advised: "Don't be anxious, calm down and tell me slowly, what happened?"
Amber took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down a little, and then quickly explained why she came to Fontaine.
"A few days ago, the Knights suddenly received a huge unsigned remittance. After investigation, it was found that the money came from Fontaine, and the remitter specifically noted that it was a donation for the construction of Mondstadt."
"Captain Jean thought that this money was most likely sent by Eula, so I rushed here to find her without stopping. After all, she was the only one who said no, but cared about Mondstadt the most in her heart!"
After listening to Amber's narration, Shao Yun asked suspiciously: "So, you came to see her just to meet her and thank her on behalf of Mond? Or is there something else?"
Amber took another deep breath and continued, "I came here not only to see her, but more importantly, I want to take her back to the Knights of Favonius!"
When Shao Yun heard that Amber wanted to ask Eula to return to the Knights Templar, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
He quickly said, "Wait a minute! Amber, although I know that what I am going to say next may be a bit beyond the line, but..."
Shao Yun considered his words carefully, and then said, "You come to visit Eula, she will definitely be very happy."
"However, if you want to persuade her to return to the Knights, I think it would be better if you don't do it, so as not to torture her."
Amber couldn't help feeling a little surprised when she heard Shao Yun say that he tortured Eula.
"What do you mean? How could I torture Eula?"
Shao Yun realized that his expression might not be clear enough, so he quickly explained: "What I mean is, I know you are worried that after Youla leaves the Knights, she will not live happily in Fontaine, a foreign country."
"But, in fact, her life is really very good now, so I suggest you not to interfere with her life which has finally got back on track."
After hearing what Shao Yun said, Amber felt even more confused.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean Eula left the Knights? She didn't leave the Knights at all! What are you talking about?"
This time it was Shao Yun's turn to be confused. Why was this different from what Eula said?
"Hasn't Eula already resigned as the leader of the Knights' guerrilla squad? She told me so herself!"
Amber smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
"Eula just left a farewell letter, is this called resignation?"
When Shao Yun heard that Youla had left a farewell letter, he thought that this was a disguised form of resignation. Amber, you are overthinking...
"Almost, but..."
Then, Shao Yun suddenly thought of a question, that is, why should he care so much about Eula's affairs?
"Forget it. Why am I asking so many questions? She should be at work now. How about I take you to Luze Coffee Shop and try your luck?"
After all, that is my own refresh point, and maybe Eula will refresh there as well!
At this moment, Eula, who was patrolling nearby, happened to pass by here. With her sharp eyes, she saw Amber, whom she hadn't seen for a long time...
"Amber?" Eula said in disbelief with her eyes wide open.
When Amber heard that familiar and kind voice, her heartbeat accelerated instantly.
She turned around abruptly and locked her eyes with Eula who was standing not far away. At that moment, all the fatigue and anxiety from rushing all the way to Fontaine disappeared.
"Eula!" Amber called out excitedly, quickening her pace and almost running towards Eula.
When she finally stood in front of Eula, she could no longer suppress her inner excitement and threw herself into Eula's arms, hugging her tightly.
"Eula, I finally found you! I was so worried about you!" Amber's voice was a little choked, but more of it was the joy of reunion.
Eula felt mixed emotions as she felt Amber's embrace.
She gently stroked Amber's head and said softly: "Amber..."
After a while, Amber withdrew from Eula's arms, her eyes fell on the uniform Eula was wearing, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
She looked at the uniform carefully and recognized its origin.
"By the way? Eula, why are you wearing... Is this the uniform of the Fontaine Guard?" Amber asked curiously.
Eula gently raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Amber's eyes, and explained with a smile: "I'm at work, Amber. When I get off work, we can have a good chat..."
The next second, Youla looked at Shao Yun, took out the key to her apartment from her pocket, and said, "Shao Yun, please do me a favor and take Amber to my house."
Then, Youla patted Amber's shoulder and said, "Amber, we'll talk in detail when I get off work. Thank you."
After saying that, Youla handed Amber to Shao Yun and continued her patrol.
Amber watched as Eula left without looking back, and asked in confusion, "What on earth is going on?"
