Chapter 359

"We learned some intelligence from the butler earlier, and we have three targets now, but we haven't found any concrete evidence." Navia said in a deep voice.

"Is that so?" Mu Yang revealed a thoughtful look upon hearing this: "If you need it, I can call Lumine over to help you solve this problem."

Navia looked at Mu Yang, full of confusion: "Don't you know the truth?"

"Hmm!" Mu Yang closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The culprit is Marcel; his original name was Vacher.

He and his girlfriend Vigne were a pair of adventurer lovers. More than twenty years ago, during an underwater exploration, Vigne accidentally came into contact with Primordial Seawater and dissolved right in front of him.

But Marcel himself is not from Fontaine; he won't dissolve. He wanted to resurrect his girlfriend, so he began researching Primordial Seawater and studying the process of how they dissolved, attempting to bring his girlfriend back to life.

And the missing girls case could also be called a process of collecting data."

"This?" Navia was completely dumbfounded. Σ(Д)

This guy knows everything?

But do you have any evidence?

Alright, at this moment, Navia almost believed Mu Yang's words; after all, what Mu Yang said was logical and well-founded.

Ah, no, Mu Yang seemed to have no evidence at all, but his reasoning was completely sound.

But the most critical thing is evidence.

However, Clorinde didn't have much doubt about this. She hurriedly asked Mu Yang: "Lord Mu Yang, do you need me to go and arrest Marcel now?"

"According to your situation in Fontaine, it seems you need evidence, right?" Mu Yang looked at Clorinde with some confusion and asked.

"If it is you, my lord, you don't need to follow Fontaine's laws." Clorinde's mouth twitched.

Others might not know Mu Yang's true identity, but she knew it; even the Hydro Archon Furina and Neuvillette were Mu Yang's subordinates.

It's just arresting a Marcel, what could possibly go wrong?

At worst, they could just arrest Marcel first and then find the evidence later.

"Marcel seems to be a merchant from Snezhnaya." Navia hurriedly reminded him.

At this moment, she already believed Mu Yang's words.

Marcel was already one of the three people they suspected, and now that Mu Yang had even stated the reason why Marcel would do such a thing, she no longer needed to doubt Marcel.

"A merchant from Snezhnaya?" Clorinde's expression turned serious. She also knew the situation inside Snezhnaya; as the Cryo Archon, the Tsaritsa had already been largely sidelined by the Jester.

Was there a shadow of Snezhnaya behind this incident, wanting to use this to harm Fontaine?

If it were just a Marcel, perhaps they in Fontaine would have already found and captured him long ago.

But he hadn't been found for so many years; it stood to reason that there was a huge protective umbrella behind him, and Snezhnaya and the Fatui were very likely candidates.

Clorinde looked at Mu Yang with suspicious eyes, but Mu Yang shook his head slightly.

He really didn't know about this matter.

It seemed that the Fatui really were manipulating all of this behind the scenes.

After all, in the game, that guy Childe was the one sentenced to be guilty—well, the 19-year-old Childe had to bear 20 years of criminal responsibility.

This matter felt strange no matter how you looked at it.

However, if the Fatui were behind Marcel, then such a sentence didn't seem to be a problem.

After all, in the Teyvat continent, if something bad happens and you can't find the truth, then suspecting the Fatui is nine times out of ten correct.

And behind these things, there was an 80% chance that Dottore was involved.

As a mad scientist, the possibility of Dottore researching Primordial Seawater was very high.

As for Marcel, he might not even know himself that he had already become Dottore's pawn.

But at this moment, Dottore had already been completely killed by Mu Yang. Now, if one wanted to know whether Dottore was involved in this behind the scenes, one would have to ask other members of the Fatui.

【Mu Yang: "Tsaritsa, tell me, did you Fatui invest in and use Marcel here in Fontaine?"

Tsaritsa: "Marcel? Who is that?"

Tsaritsa: "I generally don't pay attention to some of the Fatui's ordinary plans."

Mu Yang: "Then, do you have any research on Primordial Seawater?"

Tsaritsa: "Primordial Seawater? I have heard a little about it. I heard that Fontaine people are different from other humans; they were born from Primordial Seawater, so they will be dissolved if they encounter it."

Neuvillette: "In the prophecy, Fontaine will be submerged by seawater. Ordinary seawater cannot threaten Fontaine, unless it is Primordial Seawater."

Furina: "Snezhnaya might want to threaten us into handing over the Gnosis through Primordial Seawater!"

Tsaritsa: "..."

According to my plan, Snezhnaya obtained your Gnosis half-willingly; I never let those guys from the Fatui directly threaten and lure Fontaine.

I don't want to completely offend other countries to death.

This does not meet the Tsaritsa's expectations, but it is clear that the Jester and the others did so.

The Tsaritsa rubbed her forehead; now she highly suspected that the Fatui were planning to do just that.

Venti: "Ehe, if you don't want the Gnosis, you can actually send it out like this. It's just a pity that the Cryo Archon has even lost her own Gnosis now."

Tsaritsa: "..."

Yae Miko: "However, the reputation of Snezhnaya and the Fatui is truly bad. Now in Inazuma, as long as it is related to Snezhnaya, the public will spontaneously boycott it.

It seems that it was influenced by the previous Kanjou Commission and Tenryou Commission incident, and it may continue for a long time afterward."

Tsaritsa: "..."

When you say that, my heart still hurts quite a bit. When I first became the Cryo Archon, the reputation of Snezhnaya had not reached such a state where everyone shouts to beat them.

But now it has become the most unwelcome country among other countries.

During the time I was asleep, what on earth did the Jester and the others do?】

Setting aside the content of the chat in the group, Clorinde looked at Mu Yang and asked: "I will go and arrest Marcel right now. I think even if he is related to Snezhnaya, if we really find the evidence of Marcel's crimes, then Snezhnaya will also find a way to sever ties with Marcel."

"By the way, the diluted substance of Primordial Seawater is Les.

Long-term consumption of Les is easy to get addicted to, which can also be considered a disguised form of controlling people." After thinking about it, Mu Yang reminded Clorinde again.

Using drugs to make the nobles and high-level officials of a country addicted, and then achieving the goal of controlling a country.

This matter looks like the behavior of the Fatui no matter how you look at it.

If it were just Marcel, he probably wouldn't want to do such a thing, but if it were the Fatui, it would be different.

Damn and despicable Fatui!!

"Les? I understand." Clorinde's heart also tightened.

She naturally knew about Les, and it was now welcomed by countless people in Fontaine.

Even if Neuvillette and the others wanted to ban Les, they would probably be blocked by many people in Fontaine.

After all, given the situation in Fontaine and Furina's performance over the years, as the Hydro Archon, she really didn't have much prestige.

She couldn't achieve the level of deciding everything with one word.

If even Les was created by Marcel and the others, this force probably had huge influence throughout Fontaine.

Seeing Clorinde like this, Mu Yang nodded slightly.

【Mu Yang: "Neuvillette, Furina, tell me, your country seems to have so-called nobles, right?

Don't you have any plans to purge them?"

Venti: "He's here, he's here, he's here again with that familiar scent. After purging a large number of high-level officials and nobles in Does Does Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru, Mu Yang is going to kill the high-level officials of Fontaine again."

Neuvillette: "Looking at it this way, Lord Mu Yang seems to have quite a few prejudices against those nobles."

Mu Yang: "I don't deny that there might be many excellent people among the nobles, but they occupy too many good resources. If you don't disperse the resources in their hands, then this society will always be distorted and problematic.

They cannot do evil just because their ancestors have made huge contributions.

In Does Does Liyue, I heard that some nobles in Fontaine don't treat human lives as lives at all."

Clorinde: "..."

Furina: "..."

Neuvillette: "..."

Regarding this matter, they really couldn't refute it. They had discovered this point long ago, but those nobles really didn't act like humans.

Neuvillette: "What do you need us to do?"

If it were to take action against those nobles, Neuvillette would not refuse, and the other party had also violated the law, it was just that some laws were difficult to implement before.

If there was an opportunity to solve the worms inside Fontaine this time, Neuvillette would take action without hesitation.

Even if some people were dissatisfied with him and called him an executioner, Neuvillette wouldn't care at all.

After all, he is the Hydro Dragon!

Mu Yang: "Since Marcel used Les to control so many nobles, investigate which nobles were controlled by Les and how much they did for Marcel.

Ordinary people can't afford Les.

Fontaine's laws don't say that buying and selling Les is a crime, but what if they used this to do bad things?"】
