Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

Happy times always pass quickly, and soon the banquet came to an end. After discussing the time with Charlotte, Navia and their group, Alicia left. Of course, such a small number of people was definitely not enough, but Alicia was not worried because the rest of the people would be left to Finina.

With I-Fenina's reputation in the Fontaine art circle, as long as she raised her hand, many experienced opera singers would be vying to participate. As for inviting Navia and others, it was just because Alicia wanted to establish good relationships with them.

In addition to the good impression that she had in her previous life, the Thorn Rose Society also had a very high reputation among the people of Fontaine, or in the Gray River. Making friends with them would also be helpful to some of Alicia's subsequent plans.

And the opportunity for all this soon appeared. When Alicia returned to Momang Palace, she received a notice from Alechino that Zhidong had agreed to the transaction of the Heart of God.

"I understand. Could you please tell Alechino that I will send someone to the Northland Bank to withdraw the money in the near future?"

Although Alicia was extremely excited, she remained calm and spoke to the Thunder Warlock sent by the Fatui.

"I understand, Lady Alicia. I will convey your words to the Executive Officer."

After saying this, Leiying Warlock said goodbye to Alicia and left. When Alicia saw that the other party had gone away, she no longer concealed her inner excitement, and pulled Funina and quickly ran back to the room to make preparations.

"Ellie, slow down!"

………………

A few days later, a meeting room in the Fontaine Kinetic Engineering Academy was packed with people. Today was the Academy's weekly Fontaine Key Project Research Conference. Unlike the usual routine, almost everyone in the Academy gathered for this conference, except for those who were unable to make it.

Since the Mo Mang Palace issued the "Notice to Stop the Research on Origin Minerals" not long ago, it has caused great panic among the researchers in the Academy of Sciences. Origin mineral research accounts for the majority of the research projects in the Academy of Sciences, and more than half of the researchers are engaged in this research. It is not an exaggeration to say that some people have almost devoted their entire lives to this, but for some unknown reason, they were suddenly told that they could no longer conduct research. The panic and sensation caused by this can be imagined.

Fortunately, we learned that the Mo Mang Palace would send someone to explain and arrange the follow-up research work for this "Key Project Research Conference", so everyone gathered here with uneasy hearts, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.

The researchers sat together with familiar people in groups of three or five. Their expressions were serious, and their eyes revealed their worries about the future, as if they were silently communicating their concerns with each other.

As time passed, the tense atmosphere became increasingly heavy. At this moment, the arrival of a person broke the silence in the meeting room.

"Look, here comes Raymondo!"

Raymondo walked slowly to the front with a tired look on his face. After the accident with Edwin, Raymondo had the highest status except for Dean Choiseul. Currently, the Academy of Sciences was jointly managed by these two.

If we were to say who is most affected by the cancellation of the original mineral research, it would undoubtedly be Raymondo. As the leader of the current original mineral research project, his current influence in the Academy of Sciences is built on this, and the cancellation of this project has dealt a huge blow to him.

In fact, as soon as Raymondo received the contents of the Momang Palace document, he dropped his work and immediately went to find Dean Choiseul to inquire about the details, but Choiseul knew nothing about it.

Therefore, although Raymondo was helpless, he could only leave Choiseul's office in anger. For a researcher who was obsessed with this, the ban on the project not only meant that all previous research and efforts would be wasted, but also a denial of the researcher himself.

After this incident, many researchers who gathered around Raymondo quietly left him, which was a perfect example of the saying "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter."

Raymondo could not stop all this and did not try to stop it. He just locked himself in his small room, without eating or drinking, and did not come out of his room until the key project research meeting was held today.

To the surprise of everyone in the conference room, when the meeting was almost about to start, Choiseul, the then president of the Fontaine Kinetic Engineering Science Academy, had not shown up yet. Fortunately, no one was kept waiting for long.

Just before the meeting was about to start, Choiseul arrived at the podium with someone, but at this moment, people's eyes were not on him, but on the person behind him. Even Raymondo, who had a dejected look and dead eyes before, showed a look of surprise.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Alicia smiled and winked playfully at the researchers in the audience, causing a commotion.

Everyone was shocked by the arrival of Alicia. At this time, Alicia was well-known in Fontaine. With the crazy publicity of Steambird News and Alicia's fan club, almost everyone had seen this beautiful girl to some extent.

Apart from his performances at the Oprykle Opera House and the novels he published in the Steambird, the most discussed topic is his identity as a follower of the water god.

You must know that although the Academy of Sciences has researched many projects, the top management of Momang Palace does not pay much attention to the management of this aspect. Except for the water goddess Funina occasionally asking them about the rising water level in Fontaine, they rarely ask about it.

Even Villette had only been to the Academy of Sciences once, and that time was because the academy was bombed to the sky. Therefore, Alicia's arrival this time was extremely surprising to them, and it also refreshed the importance of this meeting.

Although the direction of these researchers' speculation is a bit off, they are indeed correct in some aspects. The aftermath of this meeting will create a hurricane across the entire continent of Teyvat, but that is a story for later.

Schwarzenegger also noticed Alicia's actions, but did not make any response. He just came to the podium in the center, tapped the microphone, and after confirming that there was no problem, he spoke to the researchers below the stage.

"Dear researchers from the Academy of Sciences, I am very clear about the purpose of your gathering here. It is all because of the previous order from the Momang Palace to prohibit the research of the Origin Ore. As for the reasons for the ban and the subsequent work arrangements that everyone is concerned about, Lady Alicia will personally tell you."

(I was a bit busy these days as I went out to pay New Year's greetings, but luckily I have finished it. I will update it later)
