Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

"Are you threatening us?"

Finina spoke in a bad tone and was very dissatisfied with what Alechino said.

"Of course not. I said that I still have feelings for Fontaine. No matter what, I will not do anything to threaten Fontaine's safety. But the same cannot be said for my colleagues."

"If this isn't a threat, then I don't know what a threat is. Alechino, you can try. Let alone you Fatui, even if the Queen of Winter comes, she can't take the Heart of God away if I don't want her to."

Alicia's tone was calm, but the meaning revealed in her words was extremely firm.

Alechino did not refute Alicia's words, but asked a strange question.

"So, the Heart of God is with Lady Alicia?"

Alicia didn't know what Alechino meant by asking this, but in order to prevent the Fatui from focusing their attention on Furninna, she nodded and acknowledged it.

"Yes, the Heart of God is indeed kept by me?"

Alechino's heart moved, and his own guess became more and more certain. He stood up and bowed to Alicia and Furninna, and then said.

"I'm sorry, my previous words were not appropriate. I apologize to both of you, but if possible, I would like to exchange the Heart of God with you. For the Seven Consuls, the Heart of God is not something that is necessary."

What Alechino said was right. For the Seven Rulers of the Earth, the Heart of God was not a necessary thing. Most of their power came from themselves. But that didn't mean it was useless. It could also provide a lot of help in other aspects.

Alicia didn't think too highly of the Heart of God, but she couldn't just give it to the Fatui, so she had to extort some benefits out of them.

"You're right. The Heart of God is not a must-have for gods, but it is still very helpful for second-generation gods like us, Fu Fu. If we're talking about a trade, it's not impossible, but..."

Alicia looked at Alechino, smiled slyly and said.

"I also know about the purpose of the Queen of Winter to collect the Heart of God. I don't want to express my opinion on her idea, but if I trade the Heart of God to you, it means that we take risks. So the transaction is fine, but do you want extra money?"

After hearing what Alicia said, Alecino's expression relaxed. It turned out that she wanted money. As long as she could ensure that she got the Heart of God, a little Mora was just a small matter. So Alecino sat down, picked up the black tea and asked.

"Then I wonder how much Lady Alicia will bid?"

"Not much, just 100 billion Mora?"

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."

Alechino turned his head to the side, and the black tea he had just drunk sprayed out of his mouth. He was choked by the tea and started coughing violently. Fortunately, he did not spray the tea on the two people opposite him.

"Ahem, did you just mention Duo Shao?"

Alechino found it a little unbelievable that Alicia was asking for so much. 100 billion Mora was equivalent to one-fifth of Zhidong's annual income. Although the proportion was not large, most of the Mora actually had fixed expenses, and there were not many that could be truly freely allocated. At least 100 billion Mora was definitely not something Zhidong could come up with now.

Funina sighed in her heart that Alicia was so cruel.

Seeing Alechino's reaction, Alicia realized that she had reported too much. For her, who had just arrived, the overall income of a country was still unclear, but Alicia did not show it.

"Business is all about bargaining, and the Heart of God is indeed rare. If Miss Alecino has any opinions, can you please let me know?"

After a period of intense and friendly negotiations, the final price was 60 billion Mora, payable in three installments. After the payment was completed, Alicia handed over the Heart of God to Zhidong. However, as an additional condition, Zhidong had to provide help and protection for Fontaine to open a publishing house and entertainment venues in Zhidong.

After the two parties reached a consensus, they signed the contract. Alechino was not afraid that Alicia would not acknowledge it after receiving Mora. The gods would more or less care about their own face. Even if they really did not acknowledge it at that time, the Fatui would be the one in the right in any action they took afterwards.

With Furninna looking confused, the deal for the Heart of God was reached.

After Alechino put away the contract, his expression relaxed. No matter what, his mission could be basically completed. As for Mora, it would be left to the rich man, the ninth executive officer of the Fatui, to worry about.

"Now that we have reached an amicable agreement on this matter, there is another matter that I am more concerned about."

"If I'm not mistaken, it's about the prophecy, right?"

Alicia directly expressed what Alechino was thinking, and the other party nodded in agreement.

"Lady Alicia is right. I am also from Fontaine, and I am also very concerned about this matter. If possible, could you two reveal some information about the prophecy? We, the Fatui, can also provide some help."

Alechino's words were sincere, but to her surprise, Alicia directly rejected her idea.

"I'm sorry, we have no way to explain this to you, but what we can be sure of is that the prophecy is true?"

After hearing Alicia's reply, Alechino felt heavy in his heart. From Alicia's attitude, it could be seen that the seriousness of this prophecy seemed to be beyond his imagination, considering the continuously rising terrain of Fontaine over the years and the water level measurements by the Academy of Sciences.

It is obvious to see the attitude of the Momang Palace towards the prophecy, so Alechino has no doubt that the prophecy is true. However, since Alicia kept silent about the details of the prophecy, this matter may be a bit complicated. At least it is certain that the prophecy is also a very tricky matter for the God of Water.

However, seeing that Alicia had no intention of speaking, Alechino did not ask any further questions. This matter could only be investigated by the Fatui themselves.

The three of them then chatted while enjoying dessert. Soon, Alicia and Funina stood up to say goodbye, and the tea party was officially declared over.

Alechino sent Alicia and the other two to the gate of the Buffati Mansion before turning back. Alicia and the other two went straight back to their room in the Momang Palace. Finina had something to ask Alicia.

"Aili, tell me the truth, are you the real water god? Otherwise, where did your god's heart come from?"

When Furninna saw that there was no one around, she hurriedly asked Alicia.
