"So the previous generation of [servants] really was involved in the serial disappearance of young girls. It looks like they made quite a lot of money. The person behind the scenes is really willing to spend...

But with the help of the Fatui, it is indeed much easier to deceive, and at the critical moment, we can also pass the blame on to others like we are doing now. This is a really good plan."

There are many disadvantages to cooperating with the Fatui, and the cost is not low. However, the Fatui's efficiency is indeed beyond reproach, and their reputation is recognized as bad throughout Teyvat.

While being able to hand over the black part to others, you can also use this to find a scapegoat. This is indeed a good calculation.

It was a pity that he was exposed in the process of blaming others, and his existence was also exposed. Although the idea was good, the quality of the people who executed it was not good enough, and in the end, he ended up losing more than he gained.

"Putting blame on someone is not a clever trick, but as long as the person you are blaming has a bad enough reputation, it will be easy to succeed... Fortunately, the reputation of the Fatui is not that bad yet."

Thanks to the praise from some merchants from Liyue and the public mourning of Xumi officials not long ago, the reputation of the Fatui in Fontaine, which had hit rock bottom due to the previous generation of [Servants], has improved a lot.

This can be seen in the courtroom. When Funina announced the identities of Linny's "House of Hearth", the hostility from the audience was not as great as imagined.

In the past, the audience would have agreed that there was no need for a retrial and that the conviction would be straightforward. Although Villette would certainly not allow such a thing to happen, the outcome of the trial would not be that important if that happened.

After all, people only believe what they want to believe. Even if the cardinal of the parable declared Ligny not guilty, the prejudice in their hearts would not be put down.

People would think that Linny's innocence does not mean that other Fatui are innocent, that the Fatui must be behind the serial disappearances of young girls, and Linny is just someone who was pushed forward to take the blame... This statement obviously has no logic or evidence, but people are more willing to believe it.

"But I didn't expect that what that group of people were planning would have such a unique significance... I thought it was just the trafficking of banned drugs and human trafficking, so the priority of the investigation was lower."

Alechino described the two charges lightly as "just that", which sounded a bit cold-blooded but was actually true.

After all, there was one executor who was charged with both crimes and they were super-excessive versions... although the guy who actually committed these crimes has been eliminated.

Therefore, in Alechino's opinion, this organization that sells banned drugs such as "Lexi" is not worth taking too seriously.

If she had known earlier that the opponent and the method used were "dissolution", Arlecino would have focused on the investigation and arrested the leader and started interrogating him.

"It's not like there's going to be any big waves. Even if you realize it earlier, there won't be any substantial progress. After all, although Fontaine's prophecy cannot be said to be unrelated to this "dissolution", it is definitely not something a small organization can influence."

The reason for the "dissolution" was indeed the water of the primordial fetal sea, but this organization had only discovered this at best. Even if Alechino had investigated it earlier, at most he would have been more certain of the truth of the prophecy.

To put it bluntly, Fontaine's prophecy is not something that can be solved by a certain person or organization. When it comes to the authority of heaven, most people will not be able to do anything about it.

Just like when Sumeru sent down the nail of punishment, three gods, a dragon king and several executive officers, this lineup could destroy any country in Teyvat, but they had no way to deal with the nail of punishment.

"So let's get back to the original topic... What's so special about Navia? Why do you want to follow her... With all due respect, Sandone might have some opinions."

After his crisis of trust was resolved, Arecino returned to Sandone's commission with professional ethics.

As if she had anticipated what Zuo Xi would say, or perhaps she simply wanted to stop him from speaking, Alechino made her addition after a brief pause without waiting for Zuo Xi to answer.

"I know she is likely to be targeted and could be in danger at any time, but this should not be a reason. What I want to know is, why do you want to ensure her safety? What attracted you to her and what is so special about her?

Don't say that you want to use her to lure out the person behind the scenes. There is nothing wrong with this excuse to deceive other people, but as we are both engaged in intelligence work, I know that you have more means that I don't know about that can achieve this goal more conveniently and quickly.

In my opinion, Navia and you are just casual acquaintances, and she even approached you on her own to get information about the Fatui..."

Alechino didn't continue talking, because if she continued, she would say something a little offensive like "She approached me because of the Fatui, she wasn't even attracted to you."

Although Zuo Xi is like this to many people, if you think about it carefully, he has some inexplicable "familiarity" with many acquaintances and friends.

But as far as she was concerned, only travelers were given the privilege of protecting someone as they did now... Travelers were special, and she could understand and agree with that.

But as for Navia...forgive her poor eyesight, she really couldn't see anything special about her.

Admittedly, Navia is now in danger of being targeted... To be more precise, she has been targeted. The beverage stand directly opposite them is actually very tricky.

Judging from Arlecchino's professionalism, it was obvious that this drinks stand was just a disguise with a special purpose.

As for what this special purpose is... it is not difficult to tell from the other party's gaze that they are searching for someone from time to time that they have a clear goal.

In addition, since Zuo Xi had been following Navia, Alechino was basically certain that this stall was for Navia.

But this could not answer her doubts - in her opinion, Zuo Xi had no reason to guarantee the other party's safety.

"You've said everything I wanted to say. How else can I explain it... But you're right about one thing. Navia really isn't anything special."

Zuo Xi pouted slightly and couldn't help complaining about the other party's recklessness. Although he asked for a little more casualness, there was no need to be so casual, right?

"As for the reason... who says you have to have a reason for doing things? I like Navia, so I won't allow her to go offline without knowing the reason. That's all."

Zuo Xi looked at Alechino, and there was a hint of certainty in his eyes that had not been seen for a long time.

"Alechino, I think you may have misunderstood a little bit... There is only one reason that drives me to do something.

That is—I am willing to do so.”
