Section 254
And this voice was familiar to Aina, but she couldn't remember it clearly. She only remembered that this was the person she respected and appreciated the most in her heart.
Even more than the water goddess Funina.
"You are..."
Su Chen raised his head and looked around: "The wind at the seaside is really strong, but it's not as hard as the desert. The heat there is really uncomfortable."
Aina reacted, brushed off the doubts in her heart, and said quickly: "Mr. Hein, and everyone in the Xumi Messenger Group, please follow me to Fontaine. I have prepared a rich feast for you."
Su Chen smiled slightly: "Then Miss Aina."
Aina nodded, turned around and walked in front to lead the way.
"Mr. Hein." A scholar whispered, "Do you know her?"
"Why do you say that?"
"She seemed to respect you very much just now."
These scholars are not nerds, they are all people with eyes. Aina's attitude change just now was too obvious, and everyone could see it.
Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Maybe she felt the depth of my knowledge. People with knowledge will be respected wherever they go."
Everyone suddenly realized.
It seems that she was impressed by Lord Hein's profound knowledge.
Although it's a bit exaggerated, that's Lord Hein, a famous...adventurer? A great sage traveled around the world and became famous. It seems that there has only been one person in history.
A group of people entered the Port of Helu.
As one of the largest ports in Fontaine, the Port of Helu is also the starting and ending point of the famous Clementine Line. Starting from here, it almost crosses half of the Fontaine area along the way and finally arrives at the waterway center of Fontaine.
In addition, the Port of Helu is also an important choice for ships from all over the world to transit. There are a large number of merchants and fleets gathered here, and the trade is quite prosperous, and almost all of these trades are gathered in the tower like a mountain.
The technological level of Fontaine is quite high. Su Chen found that many technologies inside this tower are not seen in other places, especially the clockwork mechanism technology, which is almost unmatched by any country.
He remembered that the Yuying furnace core of Xumi seemed to be made with the help of Fontaine technicians.
Being able to make equipment that can withstand the power of the demon core, Fontaine is definitely not simple.
But what's interesting is that in such a high-tech civilized country, the most respected thing is trial and drama.
"I heard that these clockwork mechanisms of Fontaine are not produced by people above, but by people below." A scholar said.
"Below? Underground?"
"Under the sea, Melo Petersburg." Su Chen said, "The convicted prisoners are imprisoned there, and they can get the circulating currency there by working during their sentences. With the currency, you can buy what you want, even including vacations."
"This sounds similar to normal work. Is it really a cell?"
"Just a different place to live?"
"The concept of labor reform seems to be very good. At the beginning, Azar should have been thrown there to squeeze him hard, and let him work but not pay."
"Azar? It seems that Nasus in the desert killed him in one fell swoop."
While chatting.
Everyone took the elevator and went directly to the Clementine Line channel at the top of the tower.
"Excuse me, who is Lord Hein?" The staff member beside the waterway came over.
"I am."
"This is what your friend asked me to give you."
A letter, Su Chen opened it and saw - "Su Chen, help me pick up a package from the Adventurer's Association."
His mouth twitched slightly, this looked a bit like the request of a roommate in a university dormitory, help me pick up a package, help me bring a meal or something, please, this task is issued by him, okay.
"Lord Hein, is there anything you can help me with?" Aina asked on the side.
"Nothing." Su Chen chuckled, "My friend asked me to help, it's not a big deal."
It's not a big deal anyway.
After all, there are only one million Mora in the package.
Even if it is lost, it won't lose anything.
"That's good, let's go."
A group of people boarded the patrol ship and sailed along the Clementine Line. The speed of the ship was very fast. According to the itinerary plan, it arrived at Fontaine before dusk. The dinner was ready. As a great sage and the person in charge of Xumi, this treatment was naturally not bad.
On the patrol boat, there was Meilushin introducing the characteristics of various places in Fontaine. Because it was a separate boat, no other foreign tourists could be seen except Su Chen and others.
Su Chen suddenly thought that the desert could do the same in the future, arranging pack animals for transportation, and then letting some hot girls serve as guides. As long as the safety on the road can be guaranteed, the tourism industry will definitely be boosted.
Cricket Meilushin, how can you be as good as my desert hot girl?
"Sir Hein."
In the coffee room inside the patrol boat.
Aina prepared a cup of coffee and two cakes for Su Chen.
"Thank you." Su Chen smiled and nodded, but seeing Aina standing aside, he gestured: "Sit down and talk."
Aina nodded.
She sat down opposite Su Chen.
However, for a moment, she didn't know how to ask.
It felt that this kind of thing was very vague, and she couldn't even be sure whether it was true.
"This patrol ship is much faster than when I was there." Su Chen said with a smile, "It would take at least a day and a half to get from Fontaine to Port Helu."
Aina frowned: "A day and a half...According to the technological innovation of the patrol ship, it should be...more than 400 years ago?"
"Yes, that's right. Before that, technological innovation was actually very slow."
"Because the noble group controls the waterway, the patrol ships are all privately owned by them."
"That's right. Although those guys know how to increase the speed of making money, it is unrealistic to ask them to spend a lot of money to innovate technology. They will only wait for the ready-made technology to appear before replacing it with outdated modules."
"But more than four hundred years ago, a trial ended the corruption of the great nobles."
Su Chen smiled faintly: "In the historical records, Miss Aina bravely fought against the nobles and led the people of Gray River to resist. It is shocking."
"No, that's all the credit of Lady Funina, and..." Aina rubbed her head. As she chatted with Su Chen, something in the depths of her memory seemed to appear, but she couldn't catch it at every critical moment. This empty feeling made her very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, relax."
Su Chen said softly, releasing the power of the Transcendence Card and introducing the absorbed memory into Aina's body.
Rules, release.
Although he didn't activate the template, he still had the ability to control the rule card.
It's just that because the rule editor didn't settle it for him, he couldn't write the rule card now.
At this time.
As the memory returned, the tangled expression on Aina's face gradually relaxed, replaced by realization and astonishment.
"So that's it, so... I actually forgot such an important thing..."
The memory absorbed and merged, and Aina's eyes gradually regained clarity.
She looked at Su Chen and said excitedly: "Lord Ryder, you are finally back!"
...
The essence of the power of the Transcendence Card is to forget, let the world forget Su Chen.
But those memories were not erased. Su Chen was not sure whether this was supposed to be the case or because of the bug that appeared at the end of the simulation.
If the current speculation is, the simulation seems to end with the Transcendence Card, but Fu Nina obviously did something, causing the Transcendence Card to have problems at the end.
Aina actually didn't know about this matter. She only remembered the scene of Su Chen walking alone on the street when he left the Privy Court, but as the power of the Forgotten Realm unfolded, she had forgotten Ryder Cross halfway.
In the memory that was covered, it was Lady Funina who protected Fontaine during the disaster. However, it is said that after the disaster, Funina had been looking for Reid for a while. Because no one knew who he was, this incident caused quite a stir in Fontaine.
Because of the reputation of Lord Water God, the special patrol team was also looking for Reid everywhere to please the Water God.
As a result, the "Reid" who was later captured by the special patrol team and brought to Fontaine could be lined up from the special patrol team base to Momang Palace (many people changed their names to Reid).
There are not many people who know about this incident so far, and Aina is one of them, because when the name Reid comes out of her mouth, she always feels inexplicable nostalgia and sadness.
"It seems that I do have a good relationship with Funina." Hearing Aina say this, Su Chen touched his chin and thought.
From the memory of the people of Fontaine, he "saw" that he and Funina often walked hand in hand against the wall, and took the three gangsters out to play in the wild. That look did not look like the relationship between a god and his people at all, even the messenger seemed a little unreasonable.
Of course, considering Funina's temperament, it seems normal that she doesn't look like a god. If she is abnormal, then she is normal. If she is normal, she is not Funina.
However, she can find Reid all over the world... It is not ordinary, definitely not ordinary.
Damn, how can I explain to the Great Compassion Tree King when I go back?
Su Chen decided to retrieve his memory first.
Moreover, he was very concerned about the existence of another Fukaros. After browsing almost all the memories of the people of Fontaine about him, there was no other Fukaros at all, which was obviously abnormal.
"Lord Reid, where have you been all these years? How could... you become the great sage of Xumi again? And the Inspector General of Mond and the Governor of Winter..." Aina asked in confusion.
"It seems that you have investigated a lot about me."
"These are all the information from the Hearth House."
"Oh?"
Su Chen was a little surprised.
Aina explained: "Didn't you ask me to build the intelligence network of Fontaine? I created the Hearth House and took in some homeless children until today. Now the members of the Hearth House are all over the seven countries, covering all fields, so it is not difficult to collect your intelligence."
"The Hearth House...isn't that the power under the servants of the Fatui?"
"She is just managing it." Aina said, "The headquarters of the Hearth House is not in the Kingdom of Winter, and the servant Alechino is also a Fontaine, and even the servants of all generations were arranged by me."
The reason why Aina did this is very simple.
First, it diverts the attention of other countries from the Hearth House, making them think that it is the power of the Kingdom of Winter, so that Fontaine can collect intelligence better.
Secondly, the strength of the Kingdom of Winter is so strong that Aina is very concerned. What exactly does it want to do by recruiting so many executives? This is also the reason why she sent the servants to the Kingdom of Winter in the first place.
"It seems that the decision to hand over Fontaine to you to manage was right." Su Chen had to admire that Aina's trick really fooled everyone.
