Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

As Choiseul spoke, Alicia came to his side, and Choiseul gave up his seat to let Alicia speak.

"Hello everyone, I believe you all know me. My name is Alicia, and I am a beautiful girl who lives up to my name. Of course, you can also just call me Aili?"

Alicia waved to the researchers in the audience and said with a smile.

And Alicia's words also caused a commotion among the researchers below the stage. Although they had heard from other people that Alicia was a humble person, it was still somewhat unexpected that she was so humble to this extent.

The last person like Alicia was Funina, the water goddess of Fontaine, but thinking of Alicia's identity, the researchers said that it would be okay.

Alicia did not give the people in the audience more time to react, but directly dropped the bombshell.

"The document that banned all research on the Origin Ore was actually proposed and decided by me?"

Alicia's words completely ignited the researchers in the audience.

"How could it be Lady Alicia? I remember that she has been in Fontaine for a short time. I haven't heard of her achievements and interests in the field of research before."

"Who knows? But one thing I do know is that if this measure is really promoted by Lady Alicia, the possibility of subsequent changes is very small."

"Why do you say that?"

"Hey, you've been staying at the Academy and don't like going out. Now everyone in Fontaine knows that Lady Alicia and Lady Funina have a very good relationship, so this document can be officially issued, it must have been approved by Lady Funina."

"So the research on the Origin Ore is really going to stop? Speaking of which, after Edwin Eastinghouse's research error blew up the academy, the research was also at risk of being terminated. It was said that it was Lady Finina who stepped in to barely settle the public opinion storm. I didn't expect that now..."

Choiseul felt a little embarrassed when he saw the noisy researchers in the audience, so he quickly raised his hand to press down and spoke loudly to the audience.

"Silence, keep quiet during the meeting!"

The people who were talking in the audience gradually quieted down after hearing what Choiseul said. Choiseul heaved a sigh of relief and said apologetically to Alicia.

"I'm sorry, Lady Alicia, these researchers are used to being free."

But before Alicia could reply, someone suddenly stood up from the audience and interrupted her.

"Lady Alysia, may I ask why you stopped the research on the Origin Ore? Do you know how much money and personnel the Academy of Sciences has invested in it? You have wasted all of this with just one sentence. Do you know how much loss this will cause Fontaine to suffer?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell into silence, and everyone turned their eyes to the person who spoke. Although stopping the research on the origin ore had a great impact on many people in the academy, no one had the courage to stand up and confront Alicia directly. Therefore, many people were curious about which warrior dared to question her face to face.

However, when they saw the appearance of the person who spoke, they were relieved.

Because the person who made the speech and questioned was Raymondo, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences and the leader of the research on the origin mineral.

Although he looked extremely depressed at this moment, as if even his soul had been sucked out, his expression was extremely angry, like an enraged lion, staring at Alicia with wide eyes.

"Raymondo, what do you want to do? Is it possible for you to question Lady Alicia?"

When Choiseul saw Raymondo directly questioning Alicia in front of so many people, he was immediately anxious. He had a good relationship with Raymondo and knew that stopping the research on the origin ore had dealt a heavy blow to him. However, it was still too impulsive for him to question Alicia, one of the leaders of Fontaine, in person.

So he was scolding Raymondo on the surface, but he kept winking at Raymondo, signaling him to stop immediately. If Alicia got angry because of this, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

But it was obvious that Raymondo's attention was not on him. When he heard Alicia admit in front of everyone that she was the one who pushed for the cessation of the research on the original ore, he could no longer suppress the grievance and anger in his heart.

He needed a reasonable reason. If Alicia was just acting on a whim, he would have to explain things to her even if it meant losing his position as vice-president.

Seeing that Raymondo ignored him, Choiseul defended Raymondo.

"Lady Alicia, since Raymondo heard that the research on the origin ore would be stopped, he has locked himself in his room. He has not eaten or drunk anything during this period. Maybe he is not in a good mental state now, so..."

"Okay, I understand?"

However, Alicia did not let Choiseul finish his words and interrupted him directly. Alicia's attitude made Choiseul feel very disappointed and he could only sigh for Raymondo inwardly.

However, subsequent developments did not go as Choiseul had imagined.

Alicia smiled apologetically at Raymondo and spoke to him in a soothing and gentle tone.

"Would you please allow me to explain myself, Mr. Raimondo?"

Alicia didn't care much about Raymondo's offense. In a sense, what she did was indeed unkind, and the other party did have reason to be angry with her.

After hearing Alicia's gentle words, Raymondo seemed to be under a spell and slowly calmed down. He couldn't help but feel annoyed by his previous impulsiveness. However, since things had come to this point, Raymondo could only sit down dejectedly and prepare to listen to Alicia's reasons for stopping the research on the origin ore.

After seeing Raymondo calm down, Alicia began to explain to these researchers why she wanted to stop the research on the origin ore.

"I know that stopping the research on the origin ore has had a negative impact on many people present. I am deeply sorry for this."

After saying that, she bowed apologetically to the researchers in the audience, who stood up and waved their hands to indicate that they dared not. Seeing this, Alicia did not insist and prepared to get straight to the point.

"The decision to suspend the research on the primordial ore this time was mainly due to two reasons. One is the problem with the primordial ore itself, and the other is that Fontaine needs to make changes in the general direction. In this change, the Academy of Sciences will play an extremely important role."

"Or should we say that in the future of Fontaine, everyone here will be the real protagonist?"

Alicia's words aroused the interest of the researchers in the audience. Although they were members of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, their status was not very high. In fact, they were notorious in the first period after the explosion.
