Chapter 726 is utterly vulnerable.
Charlotte's eyes widened when she heard that it was such an important place.
The young girl tightened her grip on Mr. Wen Hengting's waist, and her whole body was instantly filled with fighting spirit.
As expected, my decision to risk following Mr. Xu Ning that day was the right one; it's been a constant stream of big news!
Seeing the girl's burning passion, Xu Ning finally understood how difficult it was for Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu.
Charlotte's passion for the truth far outweighed her fear of danger itself. No wonder that every time she ignited a "hot topic," Editor-in-Chief O'F would send her abroad—purely to let her lay low.
"This place is different from the dangers you've faced before. Since it can create Les, it must have a higher concentration of the original primordial sea water. Even a little bit could kill you..."
Charlotte nodded without hesitation, "Okay, let's go!"
Xu Ning looked helpless. "I don't think you know anything at all... Stop looking over there, they can't escape. Look at me! Keep your eyes on me!"
Reaching out, Xu Ning turned the little girl's head and looked into her eyes. He said, "I have only one request: you must not leave my side under any circumstances! That way, no matter what danger there is, I can still save you. I will only take you in if you agree to this. I don't want to go back with your clothes to report to Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu."
Charlotte had no choice but to vow never to leave Xu Ning's side.
At the beach, Tuang and his group had already put on simple diving suits and jumped into the water one by one.
Xu Ning led Charlotte over and whistled.
Suddenly, Sonny, Big Guy, Kong, and Paimon appeared from behind the stone pillar next to them.
Xu Ning was utterly impressed by the self-discipline of these two workers, but he still had to ask the questions.
"Why are you two here too?"
Paimon put his hands on his hips and said, "We came here on Miss Navia's behalf."
Kong nodded immediately. "Brother Sunny and the others told Miss Navia that they had found the other party's factory address, and Miss Navia then found us. In order to prevent the other party from using the Primal Fetal Sea Water as a weapon against the brothers of the Rose Society, I will go first to make sure it is safe before Brother Sunny and the others go in."
Xu Ning nodded, "Yes, that's definitely safer."
Sonny, who was standing to the side, put his hand to his chest and bowed, saying, "This Rose Gathering is all thanks to you two."
"Don't mention it. Friends help each other out. By the way, do you have any extra diving suits? This reporter next to me needs extra protection."
Kong laughed and said, "I can breathe underwater, so I don't need a diving suit. This is just the right amount of extra one."
"Oh, is it because you've mastered the power of water elements? But I don't recall Xingqiu mentioning that the Water-type Divine Eye allows you to breathe freely underwater..."
Sensing Xu Ning's confusion, Kong explained, "It shouldn't be entirely due to the water elemental force. After learning about this situation, I teleported to Sumeru and tried it again. Although I felt very comfortable in the water using the elemental force, I couldn't breathe as freely as I could in Fontaine. It should be related to the water quality in Fontaine itself."
"Oh? Then I won't wear a diving suit either. I'll give it a try. Logically speaking, my alcohol element should be the closest to the water element. There's no reason why you can do it but I can't."
Seeing that everyone was ready, Kong let Paimeng enter the pot and jumped into the water first.
Xu Ning then jumped into the water as well. As soon as he entered the water, Xu Ning noticed that the Fengdan water system was different from that of other countries.
Unless it is a hot spring formed under special geological conditions, the water itself should be cool.
However, the seawater in Fontainebleau gives people a warm and comfortable feeling. If you were to give a vivid analogy, it would be like a baby returning to the womb.
"No wonder Vashj's lover said he felt warmth when he was being dissolved..."
When Xu Ning thought about this, he suddenly realized what Fontaine's prophecy was all about.
"Since the prophecies have all come true, I really don't know whether to call them foolish... or if there's some other conspiracy..."
As everyone found the entrance that Tuang and the others had opened and entered it, Xu Ning was still frowning, pondering what he had seen and heard in Fontainebleau.
"Brother Xu, is there a problem?"
Kong noticed Xu Ning's unusual behavior and immediately asked him a question.
Xu Ning waved his hand, "I'm just confused about some things. Let's deal with the immediate issues first. The rest of you, don't take off your diving suits yet. The two of us will go ahead and scout ahead."
It was said that two people were needed to scout ahead, but actually one person was more than enough.
The thugs from the Cabrière Merchant Guild, who lack elemental power, are actually quite vulnerable if one pays a little attention.
Even though they possess powerful weapons like the Primal Sea of Immortals, they only pose a threat to the Fontaine people themselves; a few guard machines could easily handle them.
Yet this very organization managed to entrenched itself in Fontaine for twenty years, committing countless major crimes and infiltrating the entire Fontaine government like a sieve. It single-handedly suppressed both the legitimate and criminal worlds. If it had been in the hands of someone with even a little ambition, they would probably have already ascended to the throne as the Emperor of Fontaine!
It's one thing that we can't rely on our silly Fufu Water God, but how could the "Prime Minister" Navelette, who has been in power for four hundred years and has done almost everything personally, tolerate such an organization jumping around under his nose for decades? He's lived such a long life.
That's right, this judge has lived for at least four hundred years.
This information was obtained by Xu Ning from Charlotte, but no one really knew much about the origins of Navelette, who was clearly beyond the human race.
"They're probably from a similar race to the Melusin. Look, the Melusin have a very long lifespan, and the Judge is so close to them..."
After the matter with the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce was over, Xu Ning felt that he should find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with the two senior executives of Fontaine.
While Kong was pondering, he had already forced Tu Ang and the others into a large room.
Strangely enough, there is no water in this so-called underwater "factory" that produces LES, and it is unknown how it maintains such an oxygen-rich space.
Moreover, this place doesn't resemble a factory at all. Even the way they produce L'Oréal is by hand-filling. In Fontainebleau, where machinery is highly developed, this process couldn't be more crude.
However, the winding corridors and the houses looked antique and elegant, with bookshelves everywhere.
Xu Ning even saw an observatory in that large room.
"It seems that this is a relic left from a long time ago, but it was submerged below the sea level as the water level rose."
Xu Ning still had the mind to admire the scenery, but Charlotte, who was beside him, repeatedly tried to take off her diving suit to take pictures, but Xu Ning stopped her each time.
“Marcelle, if you’re here, just say so. You’ve already been exposed, so you might as well just get it over with. If you’re really going to play hide-and-seek, I’ll send your men to their next lives first, and then we can play around with each other slowly.”
Suddenly a voice burst into wild laughter behind them: "These idiots are useless anyway, so let them be buried with you."
Xu Ning turned around and saw Marcel standing not far away, reaching out to pull down a switch.
