A new day begins as the sun rises and illuminates the entire Fontaine Garden. Early risers go to their posts to work and earn Mora for their families.

The staff of the Thorn Rose Society is no exception. Although these members of the Thorn Rose Society are the staff of the Thorn Rose Society, it seems that they are supported by the Thorn Rose Society as an organization.

But in reality, they need to do simple part-time jobs most of the time to supplement their household income.

After all, the Rose Thorn Society's funding has always been tight, and most of the funds rely on donations from kind-hearted people and crowdfunding.

In other words, without a stable industry and source of income, it is naturally impossible to maintain a more generous wage and compensation system.

But even in such a harsh environment, the Thorn Rose Club will still give some Mora to members as a basic living allowance. After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to at least give it some grass.

This subsidy from the Thorn Rose Club can ensure that individual members have enough food and clothing, but if they want to make their family live better, they need to work hard on their own.

……

A hidden spot in Gray River

"How is it? Has Gray River seen this man? This is the guy Mr. Hogman wants to get rid of. The price will be calculated according to the previous price."

A tall man in a black suit said this after handing Wu Cheng's photo to a middle-aged man with red hair.

The red-haired middle-aged man casually picked up the photo of Wu Cheng and glanced at it for a few times. He then accused the man in the suit, "Derrick, you know I don't kill the old and weak. The photo you gave me clearly shows a child of fourteen or fifteen years old."

"Can you really do this? Mr. Hogman is really a pervert. I can't do this business at the previous price."

Derek, who was standing by, seemed to be used to what the red-haired middle-aged man said and did not make any excuses for himself. Instead, he said directly: "Give me half of the previous salary."

Derek told Elder: "As for the bodies, you don't need to deal with them specially. Just throw them at the door of the Thorn Rose Society. This is also what Mr. Hogman specifically instructed."

When Elder was about to blackmail him, Derek noticed Elder's intention and said, "Elder, don't even think about getting any more benefits from me. Half of the previous reward is not a small amount, which is enough for you to live comfortably for half a year."

"If you don't want to do it, there must be someone else willing to do it. We only look for you because we have a pleasant cooperation with you. It doesn't mean that we can't look for someone else, so don't be too harsh."

Then Elder's serious expression immediately turned into a playful smile, and then he put his arm around Derek's shoulder and said, "I know, I know, we are best friends, and talking about Morado will hurt our feelings."

"I have always been a person who likes to help others fulfill their wishes. You know this, so I will take this business."

Derek, who was standing by, looked quite indifferent and said calmly: "You only have one day tomorrow. You are also an old hand, so I don't need to say anything more."

At this time, Elder seemed a little annoyed by Derek's words and said, "Oh, I see. I have done so many deals and I know the rules. No need to explain."

Derek was still a little worried, so he reminded Elder: "But I want to remind you that this little guy is not as simple as you see. He has killed dozens of Mr. Hogman's men. You'd better be careful."

Elder was quite disdainful of Derek's words. He took out a Fire Elemental God's Eye from his waist and fiddled with it in front of Derek.

Then he said to him: "How strong can a little devil be? I am the owner of the Eye of God. You just need to prepare the money. I don't want me to do this neatly and not get the reward I want."

Seeing that Elder wasn't going to listen, Derek nodded in agreement and left without looking back.

……

Wu Cheng stayed awake all night again. He practiced the martial arts of one-handed sword tirelessly and madly. He practiced every movement taught by Weili thousands of times.

He did not seek to gain immediate enlightenment through quick comprehension, but only to form muscle memory through hundreds of times of practice.

If other martial artists were to look at Wu Cheng, such desperate practice would be incomprehensible and would definitely go in the opposite direction.

After all, when it comes to practicing martial arts, you can't be impatient. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to suffer from hidden illnesses and injuries.

This may not be a problem for people practicing martial arts in the early stages, but it will be quite fatal in the later stages.

Coincidentally, the thing Wu Cheng is best at is not his life. Since he has the trait of immortality, he thinks it is natural to maximize its benefits.

Wu Cheng mastered two or three basic one-handed sword moves under Wei Li's guidance in just one night, which was an incredible speed for a martial artist.

Perhaps there was a talent factor involved, but more importantly, it was the result of practicing a movement hundreds or even thousands of times. Although he was not very skilled, this speed was still quite fast.

Normal practice of martial arts usually takes years or even decades to master, and some people may not be able to reach this level in their entire lives.

After all, the human body has its limits, and if it goes beyond these limits, it will be counterproductive. But Wu Cheng's physique obviously cannot be classified as such.

He is an immortal freak and naturally cannot be classified into the ordinary category.

Wu Cheng's progress was so fast that it was amazing, but Wei Li still said with disdain: "Your talent is just average, but you are also very hardworking. There is room for improvement."

"If you work harder, it might be possible for you to catch up with one percent of my martial arts talent."

"But under my guidance, I guarantee that you will be able to master the use of a one-handed sword within a year."

Wu Cheng replied to Wei Li: "That's good. Now that it's daybreak, we can't stay in the Thorn Rose Society for long. Please say goodbye to Mr. Carres today. After all, Wei Li, you know that we don't belong here."

Wei Li asked Wu Cheng directly: "So what should we do after this? Since you said that the great magician Cesar's performance will be in a few days, what should we do in these few days?"

Wu Cheng thought about it carefully and decided that since he still had some free time, he might as well enjoy the Fontaine-rhythm of life these days.

After all, after the Cesar incident was resolved, he would have to return to the mysterious realm of Blood Devil Mystery in Liyue to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.

Although he also knew that with Willy's endorsement, that place would definitely not be easily found by others.

But no matter what, he would not feel safer or more assured than if he were there watching over him, which made Wu Cheng still feel a little uneasy.

According to my own plan, I am afraid that after this Cesar incident, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to come to Fontaine.

Although this place is indeed the most advanced and luxurious place in the continent of Teyvat, there are too many rules for Wu Cheng.

Moreover, Villette's powerful strength also made Wu Cheng feel uncomfortable, as if he was suppressed by someone and had no place to display his abilities.

After all, the abilities Wu Cheng wanted to use were basically written in the Fontaine Laws, and they were definitely serious crimes.

As a staunch defender of Fontaine law, Villette would never allow him to act like this in Fontaine. He would most likely use Fontaine law (force) to sentence Wu Cheng to Melo Petersburg for ten or twenty years.

What is even more despairing is that once Wu Cheng is imprisoned in Mellow Petersburg, he may really have to serve out his sentence according to the sentence given by Wright.

Besides, according to his current strength, he is indeed no match for Villette, and can only act within the rules and regulations set by the Fontaine Law. This is extremely detrimental to the future development of the Blood Moon Cult.

After Wu Cheng experienced the pleasure of killing and freedom many times, he could clearly feel the changes in his heart. In the past, he might have been able to accept the constraints of such rules and regulations.

Now, because his hands were stained with too much blood, he developed an unconscious disgust towards the so-called rules, and naturally did not want to stay in Fontaine for long.

Wu Cheng then extended his own invitation to Wei Li: "Why don't you take a good look around Fontaine these few days and show you the exotic scenery of a thousand years later."

"After all, you who fell thousands of years ago, you should also see the peaceful and tranquil world now, right? After all, this can be said to be the continent of Teyvat that you once expected."

Wu Cheng's words touched Wei Li's heart. After all, she was once a warmongerer. She always believed that war was to bring more peace and stability to the people in her territory. That is, to end war with war.

But until her final death, the Demon War did not end, and naturally, the continent of Teyvat full of peace and stability was never seen.

Isn't the world we live in now exactly the ideal world that Willy hopes for? People can live happily and peacefully, no longer being displaced by war, and no longer having to hide from the cruel war.

Willy himself did not expect that his so-called ideal would come true nearly a thousand years after his death.

At first, Willy thought that maybe only Mondstadt and Liyue were relatively stable, and other countries might still be at war. After all, in her inherent impression, the continent of Teyvat would never be stable.

But this trip to Fontaine also allowed her to see that Fontaine was as stable as Mondstadt and Liyue.

Only then did Willy believe that the continent of Teyvat, which had been plagued by wars thousands of years ago, was now moving towards peace and stability.

It was indeed time to take a look at how people's lives were now. After all, she had once dreamed of it, and now that it had been realized, how could she not want to see it?

"Is this your invitation? How can I agree to your idea of ​​inviting me to tour the main street of Fontaine just because you, a human, invite me?"

Later, Wu Cheng realized that Weili didn't mean she didn't want to go, so he just continued to add fuel to the fire.

So Wu Cheng used words to tempt her: "That's a pity, Miss Weili. After all, Fontaine also has many delicacies that are different from Liyue."

"Now that Miss Willy doesn't want to go, let's not waste our precious time. Let's just find a hotel in Fontaine to stay and rest for a few days."

"Also, there is a very trendy Fonta drink in Fontaine right now. It is said that those who have tried it say it is good. It seems that Miss Willie is going to miss out on a lot of good things."

Wu Cheng then began to deny his own statement, which he actually said on purpose for Wei Li to hear: "But it is true. After all, how could a demon god be interested in objects created by humans? Or was I too abrupt?"

Weili was attracted by Wu Cheng's introduction. To be honest, she really wanted to taste the Fengda mentioned by Wu Cheng.

But she definitely didn't go there to taste it, but to explore why so many Fontaine people like to drink this stuff.

Yes, that's right. I'm not here to taste what Fengda tastes like.

Wei Li said to Wu Cheng hesitantly: "If it weren't for the fact that you are our only bishop, we would definitely reject your unreasonable request."

"Since you have invited me so sincerely, I will reluctantly agree to go on a tour with you. By the way, let's take a look at what life is like for people thousands of years later."

After listening to what Weili said, Wu Cheng knew that Weili had expressed her intention to go, but because of her personality, the words she said were a little strange.

Wu Cheng followed Weili's words and talked to her: "That's great. It's my honor to travel with Miss Weili."

Later, under the introduction of the staff of the Rose Thorn Society, Wu Cheng came to Cares' office.

The overall decoration style of the Thorn Rose Club is practical rather than luxurious. If there is a truly luxurious decoration, it is just the patterns of thorny roses on the walls and floors, which is simple and clear.

Wu Cheng asked the other party to resign. Wu Cheng thought that Cares would try to keep him, but Cares agreed directly.

He also reminded Wu Cheng again of the danger of Hogman and asked him to be more careful in his daily life. If he was really in danger, he could come to Gray River to seek help from the Thorn Rose Society.

Afterwards, he specifically asked the staff of the Rose Thorn Society to take Wu Cheng to the main street above the Gray River, and asked the guide to be Wu Cheng's guide for a day.

First, to make Wu Cheng familiar with the general terrain of Fontaine. Second, to improve Wu Cheng's favorability towards the Thorn Rose Society.

After all, according to Miles, Wu Cheng, a foreigner, had just arrived in Fontaine and was not familiar with the roads in Fontaine, so it was reasonable that he needed a few local guides.

Otherwise, the complicated sewer pipes in Huihe River would definitely make Wu Cheng lost.

Wu Cheng naturally had a favorable impression of Cares's behavior. Although he knew that the other party was trying to win him over, Wu Cheng was not annoyed by this way of getting along with others.

After bidding farewell to President Cares, the two members of the Thorn Rose Society also performed their duties very diligently, leading Wu Cheng to constantly shuttle through the large and small pipes of the Gray River.

They also explained to him some of the customs and culture of Fontainebleau, and just when the two were chatting happily with Wu Cheng, Wu Cheng's expression suddenly became serious.

Because he found that a group of people were approaching him and were not far away from him.

He didn't believe that this was a member of the Thorn Rose Society sent by Carre's life force to protect him. So he took a defensive stance, guarding against the crowd that was gradually approaching.
