Chapter 208 The Truth ( words, still owed.)
"He's not dead."

That Villette looked at the other party and said coldly.

However, there was no murderous intent in his tone, but the hostility was obvious.

"So, you mean, that's it?"

Alechino asked tentatively in a gentle tone.

That Villette didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "No, the losses incurred in this attack should be borne by you. In addition, I will expel the Fatui."

Hearing this, Alechino frowned slightly, but her tone remained calm:
"The loss can be borne, but expelling the fools is not a good option."

"Of course you can force them to leave, but you can't force Fontaine to break off relations with Winter. That's a right that only Fukaros has.
Therefore, even if you expel the Fatui, they can come back with a different identity.
For businessmen, tourists, adventurers, Fontaine is not a closed country, and it is very easy to come back.

These Fatui who have hidden their identities may be more dangerous than the current Fatui."

Alechino looked as if I was thinking about you.

Even when she refers to the Fatui, it's "them" instead of "us".

In the Fatui system, only the Hearth House can be recognized by Arlecino.

The other Fatui are not Alechino's family.

But calling them the Fatui subconsciously brought her and Fontaine closer.

As she spoke, Alechino suddenly looked at Villette with a smile:
"Your Excellency the Supreme Inquisitor, we can cooperate."

That Villette said he would make amends and expel the fools,

She wasn't worried about anything anymore.

Not only was she not worried, Alecino also wanted to take this opportunity to achieve more goals, such as her original plan.

Villette said coldly: "A criminal organization is cooperating with the Inquisitor?"

"No, no, no, it was Pantalone who committed the crime, not me, and certainly not our Hearth House."

Alechino shook his finger gently: "My people stopped the Gunners from hurting others. To be more precise, we are the good people who acted bravely to save others."

"The Supreme Judge should not impose sin on us just because of our origins."

"If you want to attack Pantalone's subordinates, I can help you, provided that you can distinguish the different factions among the Fatui."

If I hadn't known that the Fatui were wreaking havoc in the wild (occupying the hydrological tower),

Alechino's call was about to make Villette suspect that he had wronged the Fatui.

However, Arlecino was right about one thing.

It is true that one cannot use one's origin to measure whether a person is a sinner.

Even if this person is a fool.

There was silence for a while,
Then Villette thought of Ms. Funina, who was working with Wang Hao and gradually became abnormal, and a feeling of powerlessness flashed across her heart.

He sighed slightly inwardly, and on the surface he remained expressionless, but his tone softened: "Tell me, what can you offer regarding the cooperation?"

Alechino smiled and raised a finger:
"No one can deny that the Fatui have the best material dispatching capabilities on the continent."

"The prophecy is coming, you and I both know it, as people from Fontaine..."

That Villette interrupted directly: "You are not from Fontaine, don't tell this lie in front of me."

He could tell at a glance whether a person was from Fontainebleau or not.

Being exposed, Alechino was not embarrassed, he smiled and continued:

“Let’s put it another way. As a kid growing up in Fontaine, I also want to save this country.”

"The prophecy is coming, maybe this year, maybe next year, but no matter when it is, it will come."

“So, I proposed cooperation. We will provide supplies to Fontaine at cost price.

Whether it's building an airship, building a ship, or even researching a potion to prevent the Fontaine people from melting,

In short, use every possible means to help Fontaine survive this crisis."

The conditions for cooperation offered by Alechino were very sincere, and he seemed to be doing it for the good of Fontaine.

It is so that Fontaine can survive the prophetic crisis.

But Villette did not agree directly.

Having been in human society for so long, he understood one thing very well.
That is, there is no free lunch in the world, and pie will not fall from the sky.

He looked at the other person and asked directly: "What's the price? Zhidong is not a philanthropist, what is the price?"

"It's simple. The Water God's... Heart of God!"

Alechino stretched out her hand and pretended to hold the chess piece.

Villette's expression instantly turned cold: "You are looking for death!"

"Don't be so excited. To a god, the Heart of God is nothing. Perhaps if you tell the water god the conditions, she will agree."

Alechino said lightly,
Heart of the Wind God, Heart of the Rock God,
The successful acquisition of these two Hearts of God made her realize that the gods did not actually value the Hearts of God very much.

Therefore,
The heart of the water god is precious, but compared to the creatures of Fontainebleau, it is nothing.

Alechino's words made Violet silent for a moment.

After a while,
He shook his head and said, "I have no right to reply. The cooperation still failed."

"Is that so? Then let's change the price."

Arlecchino did not continue to persuade,
She stood up and said with a relaxed look, "Then it would be better if you don't expel us. Let the Fatui contribute more to saving Fontaine."

The fools contributed money and effort to save Fontaine.

The price is just not to expel the fools.

This collaboration is simply...

To describe it as charity is an understatement.

But Villette knew that Alecino still coveted the Heart of the Water God.

The so-called "not to expel" essentially means that Villette should not stop her from completing the transaction with the water god.

From beginning to end, Arlecchino was sincere.

She just wanted to complete the collection of the Heart of the Water God through trading.

Unfortunately, the only thing she didn't expect was that Finina didn't have the Heart of the Water God in her hands at all.

This deal was invalid from the beginning.

"We can stop expelling the fools."

That Villette relented.

It can be regarded as taking over the step given by Alechino.

Saving Fontaine is the most important thing.

As Arlecchino said,

With the help of the Fatui, more airships, more ships, and even more research,
We can save more people in the face of disasters.

Because Funinna was unwilling to tell Navrette about the plan to save Fontaine,
Considering Fernina's unreliable behavior,
Then Villette could only make more preparations on her own.

By then, it would be best if Funina's plan succeeds.

But if Funina fails,
The preparations he makes now will come in handy.

"Since the cooperation has been reached, can I ask an off-topic question?"

Alechino showed a hint of curiosity.

"What's the problem?" That Villette did not refuse.

Alechino asked, "Why did you impose judgment on the fleet of the Bank of the North without a trial?"

The Supreme Judge took direct action, skipped the trial, and handed down the judgment.
This was not in keeping with Navelet's character.

It was because of this strange behavior that Alechino came to see Villette in person.

After the previous conversation,
Alechino probably knew that Villette was not targeting the Fatui, and might not even be targeting the Northland Bank.

"First, because they are indeed guilty. Your colleague, Pantalone, was the mastermind behind the shooting. Covering up and transferring the crime is a crime in itself.

Second, I need to demonstrate strength.”

That Villette finished speaking.

Without waiting for Alecino to think, he stood up.

"Okay, Ms. Arlechino, today's communication ends here. I hope your people can abide by the law from now on."

After saying that, Villette left the meeting room directly.

Arlecchino did not move.
Still sitting in the conference room.

"Need to show your strength?"

She thought carefully.

……

"He's demonstrating to me."

In the guest rooms of Debo Hotel,

Wang Hao showed an inexplicable smile and said to the comments,
"My presence made him uneasy, especially my communication with Funina. He felt something was wrong."

"He was demonstrating and wanted to show his strength in this way."

"He is telling me and Funina that he is capable of protecting Fontaine."

"And Pantalone just happened to commit a crime and became a target."

【666666】

[Zundu is fake, why didn’t I see it? 】

[If I really want to protest, why don't I just fight you? ]

[Indeed, isn't fighting once the best demonstration? ]

[Does he think he can't beat you? ]

【…】

The barrage of comments did not agree with Wang Hao's analysis.

"It's simple. He can't fight me. Not to mention that I'm the messenger of Liyue.
Just because of my cooperation with Funina, he can't challenge me in battle."

Wang Hao said with a smile.

【Why? 】

[I don’t understand. Do you understand me? ]

[Just let Wang Hao speak for himself.]

[Wang Hao, explain it clearly, otherwise we will be angry! ]

A threat without any threat.

Wang Hao chuckled, but continued to explain: "Because he was afraid that Funina really had a plan to save Fontaine, and this plan required my help."

"If he hit me, I would get angry and stop helping, which would cause the plan to save Fontaine to fail."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he'll feel guilty to death."

"After five hundred years, this water dragon king has completely taken on the shape of a human."

"So, for the sake of Funina's possible salvation plan, he can only hit me from the side."

"And at this time, Pantalone made a not-so-good move, so he became the best target."

"As an executive officer of the Fatui, his status is sufficient."

"So, a huge wave destroyed a fleet."

"He hit Pantalone's face hard, and also warned me that he was a strong man."

At this time, Wang Hao didn't know that Pantalone was also on the fleet.

So when analyzing, there is still a little difference.

However, this did not prevent Wang Hao from continuing to analyze Villette's warning.

"He was warning me not to do anything wrong in Fontaine and that he had the power to suppress me."

"He was warning me to leave Fontaine as soon as possible."

"He was also warning me to cooperate with Funina's plan, otherwise he would have the power to retaliate against me."

Wang Hao smiled and gave the commentators a detailed analysis.
"This kind of warning depends entirely on how much I can understand. The smarter people are, the more they think about it, and the more warnings they can see."

"He knew I was a smart person, so he didn't even tell me about the giant wave destroying the fleet."

This is a warning from the wise dragon to the wise people.

[So, does anyone feel sorry for Pantalone? ]

[Don't feel bad, capitalists are all bad. ]

[Pantaronie probably didn't expect that his little move would end up in Villette's hands.]

[Pantaronne will definitely take revenge on Villette.]

How to retaliate?

【Attack Fontaine's economy. 】

【Through what? 】

【grass! 】

The comments quickly went off topic, with people swearing at each other and no longer paying attention to the matter.

But Wang Hao's attention was not diverted.

"So, with my guarantee, Violet might believe that Funina really has a plan to save the world..."

Wang Hao was thinking.

"Then do I think I have changed my fate?"

……

at the same time,

Arlecchino returned to the Buffati mansion,

In the voice of the 'father' that the children respected, they went to the secret room.

A projection device similar to the one the lady had used in Mond was placed here.

Start the instrument,

Half a minute later,

A projection appeared.
"Alechino, is your plan going well?"

Piero's voice came from the instrument.

Arlecchino still has some respect for the clown.

The other person can see through my life experience at a glance, but I can't see through the other person.
People like this are worthy of respect.

"There was a small accident. Pantalone was attacked by the Water Dragon King."

Arecino said.

"Huh? How could that be? According to your plan, he would only make a small mistake. By now, he should have escaped."

There was a slight fluctuation in Piero's voice.
"Your plan went wrong?"

"No, it was the Water Dragon King who, for some reason, skipped the interrogation and launched a trial against Pantalone."

Arlecchino answered calmly, as if he didn't care about his colleague's life or death.

"A fleet was destroyed, and Pantalone's life or death is unknown."

The projection flickered slightly, as if Piero on the other side did something.
"Some consideration?"

Piero's voice was full of doubt.

"The Water Dragon King said he needed to show his strength," Alechino replied.

Slightly silent,

Piero spoke again: "I see. Don't worry. Pantalone is not dead. Your plan was successful this time."

After a pause, he continued:

"I don't care about your desire to save Fontaine, nor do I care how much supplies you consume."

"Even Pantalone, who is also an executive officer, can be used by you."

"These are little things."

"But you must take back the Heart of God."

His voice was slow, but it put a lot of pressure on Alecino.

After he finished speaking, Alecino nodded slightly: "I will."

Piero said nothing more. The projection flickered and disappeared.

Turn off the instrument,

Alechino showed a trace of disappointment: "After all, he is not dead. What a pity."

Although Piero assured her that Pantalone was not dead,

But to Arlecchino, Pantalone was dead, and it was better for him to be dead.

Alechino has no good feelings towards this capitalist who cooperates with the Doctor.

"However, thanks to his 'cooperation', our actions in Fontaine can now be more open and aboveboard."

Alechino's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

As an executive officer, Pantalone can't just come to Fontaine casually.

He will appear here.

That was what Arlecino planned.

She had been to Liyue, so she knew that there was a problem with the top management of the Northland Bank (Liyue).

Reveal the traitor of the Northern Bank (Liyue) to Pantalone,
Of course, it is also possible that Pantalone already knew it. Anyway, it reminded Pantalone that there were still some traitors in the Northern Bank in Liyue.

Provoke his anger and inspire his murderous intent.

As a capitalist, he would definitely choose to retaliate against these traitors.

But the Queen has ordered that we cannot continue to conflict with Liyue.

Pantalone will not disobey the Queen's orders,
He would not deal with these people himself, nor would he send his own people over.

Therefore, at this time, Arachno only needs to reveal that he can enter and leave Liyue.
Then Pantalone would come to him very naturally.

When Pantalone arrived at Fontaine, he found Wang Hao was also there, and Alechino rejected his proposal to "kill" the traitor.
The capitalists, who have always been timid at heart, will most likely sow discord and use Wang Hao to deal with Alechino.

With the methods used by capitalists, they will definitely use some sinister and despicable methods to instigate.

These measures will definitely violate the laws of Fontaine.

Arlecchino just sold out Pantalone in exchange for some trust from the Fontaine government.

Including her sending people to kill the Gunners and destroy the Northland Bank's propaganda tactics.

These behaviors are essentially for the purpose of gaining better trust.

The ultimate goal is to lay the foundation for the transaction of the Heart of the Water God.

It's not a complicated plan.

And Alechino calculated almost every step of Pantalone's.

Even Pantalone would run away, and Alechino had expected it.
She had originally planned to let Pantalone run away and then sell him.

The only unexpected thing happened,
It was that Villette did not even wait for Arlecino to sell Pantalone, but directly launched the Judgment and destroyed the fleet.

This was something that Alecino had not expected.

The Water Dragon King, who has adhered to his principles for five hundred years, actually did not abide by the principle of interrogating and convicting first and then conducting a trial today.

His actions were even equivalent to privately sentencing someone to death.

It is totally inconsistent with his own behavioral logic.

Fortunately, Arlecchino went to see Navelette as soon as possible and reversed the plan.

There is still a reasonable and legal basis for trading the Heart of God with the God of Water.

Even the Water Dragon King would not stop him anymore.

The final threshold to the transaction is communication with Ms. Funina.

Thinking of this, Alechino was full of confidence.
The Fatui will do their best to help Fontaine to overcome the prophecy in exchange for the Heart of God, which is not very important to God.

Alechino believed that the water god would be able to make a reasonable judgment!

After all, demons are all lovers.

……

the next day,
Wang Hao didn't know that the disturbance yesterday was actually caused by Director Arecino.

However, it wouldn't be too surprising to know him.

After all, Alechino is not a good person, and Wang Hao has always known this.

The cooperation between the two parties is also limited to [children].

He is now accompanying Xingqiu to pay apology to others.

Xingqiu is a man who does what he says.

This morning, he took the money and went out.

Then I bought a lot of gift supplements,

I have to go to the hospital to give someone an apology.
Wang Hao and Shi Jie had no choice but to follow.

Perhaps it was because Pantarone did not have time to set the pace, or it could be because all the criminals were executed on the spot.

Anyway,

Among the dozens of injured, most of them accepted Xingqiu's gift very kindly.

Many people also comforted Xingqiu, saying that it was not his fault and asked him to be at ease. Of course, there were friendly ones and unfriendly ones.

Usually the family members of those affected.

They were indeed not very friendly to Xingqiu's arrival.

After all, innocent family members were harmed and shot, so it was natural to be angry.

In this situation, let alone Xingqiu,

Wang Hao and Shi Jie, who have no sense of guilt, will also apologize very carefully and sincerely.

It’s not that I really think I’m wrong. The one who’s wrong is the criminal, not them who are also victims.

According to the barrage, this is out of humanitarian concern.

I walked around the hospital with Xingqiu.
Send out dozens of apologies.

Not finished yet.

Some people accept apologies but not gifts.

People always have strange insistence, and Xingqiu won't force others to do something if they don't want it.

Therefore, the three of them could only go back with the apology in their arms.

When you meet someone you like, give them a gift.

When we got back to the Debo Hotel,
After the gifts were delivered, Xingqiu's mood improved.

He forgave himself.

I have to say that the people of Fontaineland are quite interesting.

Such a terrible shooting happened here yesterday.

As a result, the number of people in the restaurant increased instead of decreased.
Some even looked for bullet holes and took photos.

Wang Hao couldn't understand these people's train of thought.
I can only say that Fontaine is a little too dramatic, so dramatic that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

However, there are also benefits.

That is, the people at the Debo Hotel did not blame them for attracting the gunman.

There are no more strange looks.

It made Xingqiu feel more comfortable.

The three returned to the guest room.

Sit down casually on the sofa.
"There's only one week left until a month. Let's not wait any longer. Let's leave the day after tomorrow."

Wang Hao looked at the two of them and said,
"I asked Villette for an airship. We'll take it to Xumi. You can go shopping tomorrow and see if you want to bring anything back."

"You've all ridden in airships before. They're the same model as the special patrol's. They can hold a lot of stuff."

Listening to Wang Hao's words,

Shi Jie nodded first: "Okay, it's better to leave early. There has been no peace since I came to Fontaine."

“I suspect that I am just too unlucky, so I have to deal with so many problems.” Xingqiu also said, “It is better to leave early.”

It's not that they don't like Fontaine,
The cultural landscape of Fontaine is quite good.

But after coming to Fontaine, I have indeed become too busy.

I thought the smuggling case was over and I could have some fun for a few days.

Then there was an attack.

It also harmed innocent people.

Now everyone just wants to leave Fontaine as soon as possible.

"That's settled then. That's all for today. Let's take a rest."

Wang Hao stood up and went back to his room, and the other two did the same.

……

Time flies by,
Nothing happened during this period.
The quietness made Xingqiu and Shi Jie relax a lot.

Wang Hao took the time to inform Villette that they were leaving.
Not only Villette, Wang Hao also went to find Funina to inform her that he was leaving.

However, not only did Funina not try to keep him, she also wished him a safe journey.

After all, with Wang Hao gone, no one would be able to leak things that he had not planned.

And she could still use Wang Hao as a shield to prevent Villette from asking her about her prophecy.

Finally the day to leave arrived.
Sedna arrived early this morning.

She came to check out, after all, the accommodation and food for the three of them were paid for by Mo Mang Palace.

Another reason was that as a staff member of Fontaine, they sent Wang Hao and the other two off politely.

I packed my things and checked out of the room.
Then, with Sedna's gift,

The three of them came to the airship site they had seen before.

On the field, a brand new airship was docked in the center, waiting for its new owner.

Sedna waved her mitten hands:
"The airship has been set to cruise mode. You don't need to operate it before leaving Fontaine territory. After leaving Fontaine, you will need to control it yourself."

"Don't worry, I've been reading the instructions for a whole day." Wang Hao said confidently.

After reading the instruction manual for a day, I dared to fly the airship.

Such a person should be sent to Mero Petersburg if he were in Fontaine.

Because this is playing with your own life and the lives of others, which is a crime.

However, for Wang Hao, one day is enough.

Anyway, even if the airship crashed, he could still fly with it.

Sedna said nothing more: "Goodbye, Mr. Messenger, and goodbye to you two as well."

"Goodbye."

After waving goodbye, Xingqiu and Shi Jie followed Wang Hao and boarded the airship.

There is a lot of space on the airship.

Everyone, put down your bags.

This is not the first time I have sat here, but I am not too curious.

Wang Hao turned on the switch of the console.
The airship shook slightly and took off directly.

Then, as Sedna said, we started cruising along the planned route.

It slowly set off from the mooring area and flew towards the direction of Hailu Port.

The automatic cruise control will be cancelled after leaving Hailu Port.

Right now, there is nothing much to do.

"According to the speed of the airship, we will be able to leave Fontaine soon. Next, let's have a good rest on the airship."

"It's nice to enjoy the blue sky and white clouds."

Wang Hao said to the two of them.

Xingqiu immediately took out snacks, drinks, and even small desserts from his luggage.

"The party in the sky has begun!"

……

After a few days,
Passing through the Harbor of Helu,
Under Wang Hao's control, the airship finally left the Fontaine Sea area.
Entering the place called Petric Town on the map,
This place is considered the center of the three kingdoms of Fontainebleau, Xumi, and Liyue.

However, according to the national division, this place still belongs to Fontainebleau.

The reason is simple, there stands a statue of the water god here.

According to the bullet screen,
There is actually a big secret here.

So Wang Hao chose to stay here for a day.

The residents of the town warmly welcomed Wang Hao and his two companions.

The airship completed the supply.

But unfortunately, Wang Hao did not find the underwater entrance mentioned in the barrage.

No mysterious cat was found either.

I searched the island along the path mentioned in the barrage, but found nothing.

I could only continue my journey the next day with regret.

Leaving Petrich Town,
Continue flying southeast.

Soon the distant horizon changed from yellow to green.
This shows that the area opposite the airship has moved from the desert to the rainforest.

Next, we approached the coastline.
Then follow the coastline to find Baida Port, and after completing a supply,

Starting from the river channel of Baida Port, you can go all the way to Xumi City.

(It’s a bit abstract, so bear with me.)
The voyage continues.

In fact, on the third day of the flight,
Xingqiu already felt bored.

He felt that it would be better for Wang Hao to take everyone flying, which would be much faster than an airship.

Although Shi Jie was bored, he was still calculating some data.

Wang Hao asked,

He was calculating how much transport capacity could be increased if airships were popularized in Liyue, as well as the benefits that would be brought by the increased transport capacity.

Compared to him, Wang Hao doesn't seem like someone who would get anything done.

One day after leaving Petliko Town,

The airship arrived at the port of Baida.

Bayda Port and Port Authority.

"Oh no, Big Sister Sagaer, there's a flying ship out there!"

A little child ran in hurriedly.

Shouted to Sagar who was thinking about the problem.

Sagaer, once a member of the Gilded Brigade, later the leader of a gang, and now the port manager of Bayda Port.

Her slightly yellowish skin and the nimble figure beneath her Sumeru clothing showed her desert ancestry.

(Harbour Master of Sagar Al-Baida Port)

A desert person could become the port manager of a port, second only to the academic officer who supervises the place. You can imagine her methods.

Hearing the children screaming,

Sagael rolled his eyes, "Alright, little one, that's Fontaine's airship, not a flying ship."

The airship was approaching and the lookouts at Bayda Port had already spotted it.

How could I wait for a little kid to report?

"But someone got off the flying ship."

The little kid was jumping around, hoping to attract the big sister's attention.
"They are coming this way. That Liyue merchant named Boyan is leading the way for them."

This sentence caught Sagaer's attention.

Can the people on the airship let Boyan lead the way?

It looks like he has some status.

Boyan is a tea merchant from Yilongbu.
Being able to get a share of tea at this time naturally means he has some status.

In the entire Bayda Port, Boyan’s words carry weight.

(Boyan, Liyue tea merchant in Baida Port)
Just thinking,

There was already a sound outside.

"Director Sagaer, I have brought a distinguished guest to visit you."

Sagar was very familiar with this voice, it was Boyan as the child called it.

"Then please come in, my dear guest."

She shouted directly.

Although she is a girl, her voice is full of energy and you can tell at once that she is a martial artist.

Soon, she saw the tea merchant Boyan walk in with three young men;

This tea merchant who holds some status in Baida Port,

In front of the three young men, he seemed a bit... flattering, well, fawning.

It feels a bit too servile.

Boyan also knew that his attitude was a little too humble.

But, he also knew that this might be his only chance to make friends with Wang Hao.

Among all the merchants in Liyue, there is no one who doesn’t know the name Wang Hao. He is a very popular figure in Liyue.

"Director Sagaar, this is Lord Wang Hao, a senior official of Liyue's General Affairs Department. This is Master Xingqiu, a distinguished person from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. This is Lord Shi Jie, also an official of the General Affairs Department."

Boyan introduced the identities of the three people to Sagar.

Wang Hao and his two companions came specifically to visit the port manager.

Just like entering Fontaine and looking for Butler Du Tai of Roudeng Port first,
When they come to Xumi, they naturally have to register their entry information here first.

Although the seven countries of Teyvat basically do not prohibit people from traveling across borders, necessary registration is still required, otherwise they may be easily treated as criminals.

Of course, Inazuma, who is currently in a state of isolation, is just the opposite.

If you go to register, you will be more likely to be troubled, so it is better to just sneak across the border.

Judging from the time, Ying has been suffering in Inazuma.

"Hmm? It's you guys."

To Wang Hao's surprise, this supervisor Sakir seemed to know them.

"Ma'am knows us?"

Wang Hao asked curiously.

Sagaer nodded and said, "I have acquaintances in both Roudeng Port and Yilong Port. You know, if you don't have some friends working in the port, you can't stop smuggling at all."

After she explained this, Wang Hao understood.

This port supervisor probably knew about smuggling;
Judging from her tone, the smugglers in Baida Port have been hit by her.

"My friend also told me about your crackdown on smuggling in Fontaine. To be honest, your actions and those of the special patrol team scared them quite a bit."

Sagaer seemed to have a good impression of Wang Hao and the other two, and his tone of voice became much softer.

"I see. Then there's no need to introduce ourselves. Let's get down to business."

Wang Hao smiled and nodded, then got down to business.

"We came here this time to complete the immigration formalities first, and then we will go along the river to Xumi City."

"As for the entry procedures, no problem. What's the reason for entry? Is it also to combat smuggling?" Sagaer asked with a smile.

Wang Hao knew she was joking and waved his hand: "Of course not. I came to Xumi just for a simple visit. I might visit the Great Sage and then visit the Temple of the Lord."

When he spoke of the great sage, his tone was calm.

There is no disgust, nor much respect.

After all, after hearing so much nonsense from the great sage in the barrage, Wang Hao found it difficult to respect the great sage.

Of course, Sagaer didn't care, because as a desert person, she had no good feelings towards the great sage.

Although some desert people have now converted to the House of the Order, most desert people still remember their roots.

"Well, visit Xumi, meet the great sage, and tour the Temple of the Lord."

Sagaer completed the registration immediately, and then pressed lightly on his ear.
Green void headphones appeared and disappeared.

"Because of your status as envoys, I have expedited the documents. Please wait for a moment. The Court of Decrees will issue a reply in ten minutes at most."

Although I know that Xumi has a device called the Void,

But seeing it with your own eyes still feels a bit magical.

This speed of information transmission is really convenient.

Wang Hao felt a little jealous. Damn it, what should he do?

Before he could continue thinking,

The void terminal beside Sagaer's ear flickered slightly.
She seemed to have read some information.
Then he looked at Wang Hao and the other two and said, "The Ministry of Education has approved your application for a visit. The Great Sage welcomes you on behalf of Xumi. He will be waiting for your arrival at the Ministry of Education. I also hope that our friends in Liyue will enjoy the cultural landscape of Xumi."

The reply was formal, simple, and even a little enthusiastic.

It seems that this great sage is not as hateful as the comments say.

Finish the great sage's reply seriously.

Sagar returned to his previous dignified demeanor: "You three haven't found a place to stay yet, so you can stay at the Port Authority tonight. I can also prepare a map of Xumi for you."

Beside him, Boyan moved his lips but still didn't say anything.
His residence in Bayda Port was naturally not as good as that in the Port Authority.

I had originally wanted to entertain these three distinguished guests well in the evening, but now it seems that there is no chance.

He is lost.

Then I heard Sagar continue: "I am hosting a banquet tonight and inviting three distinguished guests to dinner. Boyan, you come too."

When Boyan heard this, he was immediately delighted: "Okay, I will definitely come."

Wang Hao and the other two looked at each other without saying anything.

Sagaer has invited us to dinner, so let's borrow their influence.

Anyway, looking at Boyan, he seems very happy.

That night,

In the lobby of the Port Authority,
Boyan was not the only one attending the banquet held by the port manager for the Liyue envoys.

Many people came.

They are all businessmen seeking business in Baida Port.

They may not necessarily come for Wang Hao and the other two, they may simply want to get together in front of Sagaer.

It's also a profit if the port supervisor can see that it's familiar.

Under the current administrative system of Xumi,

The port supervisor has great power. Not only the port's income and expenditure, but even the taxation here is handled by her.

In the entire Bayda Port, the only person who can check and balance Sgar is the priest Adil.

But unfortunately, this Adil is already in his seventies or eighties.

So, on the surface, the highest official in the port of Baida was the edict officer Adil.

But in reality, the one who makes the decision is the port manager Sagar.

at the banquet,
There are not only merchants from Liyue, but also merchants from Xumi and Fontaine.
Everyone was toasting each other and having a great time.

Wang Hao even saw the merchant from Nata.

The other party does have a fighting spirit.

But he was not a tribal barbarian as the legend said.

On the contrary, he is very fashionable and does have a lot of totem patterns on his body, but they look a bit like graffiti rather than totems.

He is also very polite when chatting with others and doesn't shout.

In general, this businessman from Nata has somewhat refreshed Wang Hao's stereotype of Nata.

"Hello, are you from Nata?"

Wang Hao took the initiative to walk over and start chatting with the other party.

Maybe it’s because Wang Hao is one of the protagonists of the banquet.

The Nata man was surprised by Wang Hao's initiative to talk to him, and nodded quickly: "Yes, I am Galka, a businessman from Nata, and I came to Baida Port to do business."

Galka?
Wang Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and then he nodded: "It seems that you are a warrior."

Galka's eyes suddenly lit up: "You know our civilization?"

This was the first person who told him the meaning of his name after he came to Xumi.

Galka, in the context of Nata civilization, means warrior.

"Because of my diplomatic work, I have learned the writing and languages ​​of many countries, and Nata is one of the people I know."

Wang Hao was not lying, he had really studied it.

Not only Nata, Xumi, Fontaine, and even Zhidong, he did study some contexts and the meaning of words.

This is a necessary course for a diplomat.

"What business are you in?" Wang Hao asked again.

Galka immediately replied: "Spices. Xumi's spices are very famous. We can make a lot of money by bringing them back to Nata."

"Does Nata like spices?"

Because Nata does not communicate much with the outside world, Wang Hao is very interested in this country.

"Yes, many people like it, that's why I came here. In fact, it's not just spices, there are many other things, all of which are very valuable."

Galka smiled.

"Oh, can you tell me about it?"

Wang Hao chatted with the other party like an ordinary person.

"Hey, let me tell you..."

Galka did not hide the business information and introduced it enthusiastically.

Wang Hao did not leave and kept chatting with him until the end of the banquet.
