The story begins yesterday.

Yesterday morning... uh, early in the morning, Villette came to the office and found a visiting card on his desk.

This operation seemed familiar, and Villette thought for a moment and remembered that the first time Seraphina sent him a letter, she also delivered the letter to his desk silently in this way.

Then Villette’s first reaction: Is the Cult of the Abyss going to cause trouble again?

......

It's no wonder that Villette thought so. The Abyss Cult, which had been silent in Fontaine since Seraphina jumped into the Primordial Sea, has become active again.

Let’s not talk about the members of the Abyss Cult that appeared in the earth and water veins.

They didn't even do it behind people's backs. Not only did they steal research materials from the Fontainebleau Science Academy, they also formed groups to enter various ruins in Fontainebleau, and even took away some of the wild energy blocks they saw on the roadside.

The last person to do this was a traveler.

Fontaine is busy with reconstruction everywhere and cannot spare manpower to deal with the Abyss Cult for the time being, so it can only commission the Adventurer's Association.

The Abyss Cult was not so blatant before Seraphina came to Fontaine, so Villette tried to analyze what the Abyss Cult was trying to do.

During the hundreds of years that he served as the Supreme Inquisitor, Navilette had tried countless criminal gangs.

Generally speaking, violent criminal groups such as gangs have strong internal cohesion and their own behavioral logic.

If they determined that Fontaine "killed" Seraphina, the monsters would turn Fontaine upside down even out of "revenge".

Before that, Villette told Fucaros about her own inference, and received a big eye roll from Fucaros.

Fukalos has communicated with Seraphina so many times, and no matter how much of a filter she has for Seraphina, she has to admit that this guy is definitely the epitome of sweet-mouthed but treacherous.

Let’s not talk about anything else. You see, this guy got along so well with Funina, but he immediately turned against her as soon as he sat at the negotiating table.

Seraphina at the negotiation table was even more domineering than the Fatui. She stepped on the bottom line and tore off a piece of flesh from Fontaine.

After all, servants who collect intelligence need to consider their reputation and the tolerance of the Fontaine officials, but the Abyss Cult doesn't care about these at all.

After finishing, she even went over to invite Funina to have coffee.

Although Seraphina is not the head of the Abyss Cult, with such a duke in the group, the Abyss Cult is definitely not a reasonable group.

Seraphina, the bastard, had probably arranged it all before the day of the trial of Fernina, letting the Abyss Cult take advantage of the fact that they were grateful to her and busy rebuilding Fontaine to rob as much information as possible.

Once you see these things, they are imprinted in your mind and cannot be returned.

Fontaine owes Serafina such a big favor. When she comes back, she can just say sorry. Will Fucaros and Villette still have the nerve to hold a grudge against her?

While saying that he had learned something, Villette felt a headache.

......

Subconsciously glancing at the pile of official documents on the table, Villette resigned herself to picking up the visiting card.

If it's really difficult, just push it to Fucaros. For Fontaine's sake, she will probably understand.

Good news: It’s not the Cult of the Abyss that’s causing trouble.

Bad news: This is a visiting card with the aura of both the Rock God and the Rock Dragon. The writer claims to be Seraphina's father, and the signature is "Zhongli".

Navilette: "..."

This is worse than the Abyss Cult causing trouble. At least the Abyss Cult does not hide what they are going to do.

This visiting card is very Liyue-style, and is generally very literary, with phrases like "My little daughter is naughty, and I thank you for your care," "I have come to visit you specially," and "I wish you good health." The wording is very humble and polite.

...But it's more thrilling this way!

It would be fine if Mr. Zhongli directly and bluntly blamed him. Although the incident in the abyss was a natural disaster, it was indeed Fontaine who was in the wrong for losing the girl.

Now that he is so polite, it makes others feel uneasy.

It's hard not to suspect he did it on purpose.

Navilet recalled his several meetings with Lord Rudra.

To be honest, the few times they met, King Rhodra was like a pendant to Seraphina, not expressing any opinions and pretending to fully support Seraphina.

The deepest impression that Villette had of him was how much he loved his daughter, Seraphina.

Not only did he use himself as the raw material to make a necklace for Seraphina; when Seraphina was stranded in the opera house during the case in which Linnie was framed, King Rudra also came over to cook wontons for Seraphina.

Villette was really unsure what such a father would do after "losing" his daughter, and he also invited the God of Rock.

——Yes, I had a cross-server chat with Paimon before, and Villette still thinks that "Zhongli" is the alias of the Dragon King Rudra.

Fucaros, wearing pajamas and with a messy head of hair, knocked on the door of Villette's office.

"Please come in."

Fukaros pushed open the door and asked straight to the point: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Maybe because he had been holding it in for too long, Fucaros recently liked to open the window before sleeping to get some fresh air.

As soon as she lay down, there were signs of rain outside.

As the water god, she could tell at a glance whether the rain outside was natural or caused by Violet's tears. In order to avoid getting wet in the rain tonight, Fukaros decided to solve Violet's problem first.

Navilette handed over the visiting card in silence.

After reading the visiting card, Fucaros fell silent.

Tonight, Fucaros doesn't have to worry about getting caught in the rain after falling asleep, because she can't sleep tonight either.

Fukaros was silent for a long time, and Villette spoke first: "Have you met this Mr. Zhongli?"

Fukalos didn't know that the God of Rock was known as "Zhongli", but she knew who Seraphina's father was: "I met him once many years ago with Egolia and Seraphina."

Villette breathed a sigh of relief. It was good enough that they had seen it before. At least they were not completely in the dark.

"What impression do you have of him?"

What impression could Fucaros have?

They ate at the same table. She was busy eating in the first half, and felt sleepy in the second half. Finally, Seraphina, who couldn't bear to watch her anymore, took her away.

Fukaros racked his brains to recall: "Hmm...he and Seraphina have a good relationship?"

Then Villette: “…” Isn’t this the same as his answer? !

Is their father-daughter relationship a character setting or selling point? Why do they emphasize this kind of thing?

Then Villette was also assimilated by Fontaine and forced to become a complainer.

That Villette gave up asking this question and asked instead: "What impression do you have of Rock God? What is his relationship with Miss Seraphina?"

Fukaros was full of questions: "Ah? What are you talking about? Isn't the Rock God Seraphina's father?"

That Villette asked with difficulty: "Isn't she... the daughter of the Rock Dragon Ruotu?"

At this moment, Violet and Fucaros finally realized that they had just been chatting across servers.

"I remember that Seraphina called the Dragon King Rota 'Second Daddy'." Hundreds of years later, Fucaros could still remember the shock he felt when he heard this name.

Villette's tone was a little broken: "You mean, Miss Seraphina is the child of the Rock God and the Rock Dragon?"

"Probably."

That Villette broke.
