My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

Fontaine is different from the main cities of various countries that Hua Yi had arrived at before. It has a unique feature that can overlook both the Teyvat continent and the Collapse world - there is no city gate.

The city wall, which is taller than Mond City, surrounds the entire Fontaine in a circle. There is no passage for entry and exit on the ground. Even the dock is outside the city wall. Ships either load and unload goods here, or slowly rise through the lock, cross the city wall, and enter the high-altitude waterway inside Fontaine.

As for pedestrians, they need to take the elevator to enter the city. Those passengers with luggage are better off, but all caravans transporting bulk goods need to spend a lot of time in and out of Fontaine, and the Water Kingdom also needs to arrange extra staff to handle these trivial processes and conduct on-site command.

The economy of Fontaine has not been able to develop "four three zero". The main city is extremely cumbersome, and the inefficient way of entry and exit is one of the important reasons.

Travelers need to spend much more time here than expected, and the price of workers or machinery loading and unloading goods is more expensive than in other countries. In addition, many of the goods traded by the Chamber of Commerce have a shelf life, or are fragile handicrafts. Fontaine simply wrote "This place is not suitable for doing business" on the tall city walls.

That is, tourists from afar may be interested in the characteristic structure of Fontaine. They take the patrol boat and elevator to explore this clearly layered main city. After entering the city, they look up at the waterways woven in the sky and admire the industrial technology and design aesthetics of Fontaine.

If you do a careful calculation, you will find that replacing the city gate with the elevator and using the high-altitude waterway to make up for the lack of transportation capacity has no economic value at all, and it is a complete loss-making business.

The loading and unloading costs that make merchants complain are actually not a normal profit for Fontaine. This part of the income is all used to pay the salaries of additional management personnel and the daily maintenance of the elevator and high-altitude waterway. Moreover, the income is not enough to cover the expenses, and it needs to be supplemented from other places.

But Hua Yi saw at a glance why the main city of Fontaine was designed like this.

In order to respond to the doomsday prophecy and prevent the tragedy of "Fontaine people being flooded".

Even if the sea level of Fontaine rises by dozens of meters, such a majestic city is enough to ensure the safety of the residents inside. The city gates are not left to prevent possible floods, and the high-altitude waterways can ensure the transportation of materials at that time.

And the two patrol boat lines connecting Hailu Port and Opikele Opera House, the former ensures communication with the outside world, and the latter is another safe zone. The opera house is built on a high mountain and naturally has flood prevention capabilities.

If the Academy of Sciences had not been blown up, the third patrol boat line would have ensured Fontaine's scientific research capabilities under disasters and sought self-help methods in persistence.

Everything is to save the people of Fontaine themselves.

Da, da, da.

While Hua Yi was thinking, the rhythmic sound of high heels stepping on the floor came from far away, and a beautiful woman with white hair and black eyes and extraordinary temperament came towards him.

"It's our first meeting, Mr. Hua Yi.. "

Her voice was elegant and her manners were quite polite. She greeted the long-awaited visitors. Her charming eyes with a red cross in them glanced at Hua Yi's companions, and quickly passed over Ying, Youlan Daier, Charlotte and Navia.

"This time, I will replace that [lady] and be responsible for the work in Fontaine. Can we have a relatively independent communication space?"

Nodding to Ying, letting the traveler lady and the others run away and chatter about their first impression of Fontaine, Hua Yi turned to look at the dress beauty who was definitely not older than the 500-year-old [lady], but seemed more mature and stable in her gestures.

"I was thinking that [lady] was obviously taking good care of the children of the Hearth House, so why didn't she get along with you? Now it seems that [lady] should think that you are too mature and make her lack the sense of superiority of a 500-year-old senior, [servant] Miss Alecino. ”

“Perhaps Rosaline has some misunderstandings about me. Personally, I have always felt that she is one of the few executive officers who is worth communicating with.”

[Servant] was not surprised that Hua Yi pointed out his identity, just as he knew roughly when he would arrive at Fontaine. This honorary executive who has not yet been to Winter Solstice and has already enjoyed an extraordinary status among the Fatui must have extraordinary means...

“In addition, I want to thank you on behalf of Agaphiya, the child of Hearth House. Her identity has been discovered, but she has not been punished. This is inconsistent with Rosaline’s past character. You must have spoken for her, right?”

“Indeed, you are not going to explain to others the behavior of planting intelligence personnel around her?”

“I think she should understand the nature of Hearth House and the different ideas of the Fatui executive officers. Compared with carrying out more dangerous tasks, Agaphiya should have a very stable life by Rosaline’s side. ”

Compared to her beauty as a woman, [Servant] has a stronger dignity as a person of high position. Her elegant conversation and polite manners cannot affect the natural sense of oppression. She has long been accustomed to the nervousness of others when talking to her, but Hua Yi is not at all restrained.

Even in the previous conversation, [Servant] always felt that he regarded her as a girl pretending to be mature.

[Servant], who is tall and has the characteristics of a strong queen in terms of appearance, temperament and age, restrained her polite smile, making the aura she exudes become more aggressive.

"Mr. Hua Yi, maybe we should talk about the plan to seize the heart of the water god."

"There is a misunderstanding that needs to be clarified. Although I have given the heart of the god to the Kingdom of Winter many times before, this does not mean that I am traveling for the purpose of seizing the heart of the god. It's just that the previous gods all felt that it was more cost-effective to exchange the heart of the god for the exchange conditions proposed by the Kingdom of Winter. ” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“So that’s the case, then I will finish it myself.I hope you can make this happen. I wish you a pleasant journey in Fontaine."

This time, it was Hua Yi's turn to stop smiling.

"Tell me about your plan."

It was not a question, but a statement, a request.

The aggressive aura of a superior exuded by [Servant] was easily suppressed by Hua Yi, who also exuded the temperament of a superior.

This was not a collision of strength, but a competition based on status, identity, power, cultivation... a series of factors that make the superior considered to be a superior, and thus determine who is the more noble one between the two superiors.
