Chapter 344 Would you like some cat?
"Funina? She's still out so late?"
Just as Xines was about to go out and scare the little guy, he found that someone else's purpose seemed to be the same as his.
"Tsk, so it's this plot..."
It was late at night and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. Funina walked alone on the street, teasing the kittens on the street.
Behind her, a hooded figure in black was gradually approaching the clueless Fernina...
"Friend, the Security Bureau is over there. Do you need me to take you there?"
Hines suddenly appeared behind the man, his tone slightly frivolous. The servant who was named was slightly startled, turned around and cast his gaze at the man behind him.
"I didn't expect that our first meeting would be like this?"
Hines rolled his eyes and said, "You know me, but I shouldn't know you." He pointed at Funina, who was completely unaware of this.
"Introduce yourself, friend, and change places so as not to scare that guy."
The servant nodded noncommittally and responded,
"Good evening, my lord, servant of the Fourth Seat of the Fatui."
The servant led the way, and Hines followed behind her. The moment Hines showed up, the servant knew that her mission to test Finina tonight was doomed to fail.
A moment later, the servant brought Hines to an unremarkable room. The dim light seemed to reveal the servant's confusion about the future of the country.
"Why are you here, sir? Are you secretly protecting Funina?"
After the two sat down, the servant immediately asked her doubts. Her question did not hide her purpose at all, and clearly told Shines that she doubted Finina's identity.
"You're overthinking it. How could a dignified Water God need my protection?"
Hines shrugged.
"I just happened to be passing by. As for you, the Fatui's Executor, even if the Queen asked you to bring the Heart of God back to Winter, you wouldn't be so impatient."
Since Hines couldn't give her the answer she wanted, the servant didn't continue to dwell on this topic.
"Changing the subject, what price do I need to pay for the Thunder God's Heart in your hand?"
Hines raised his eyebrows. He liked this kind of smart people. Cooperation is the key to win-win. If the servant really planned to rob, that would be too boring.
"It's simple. First, I need the Fatui to do their utmost to protect the people of Fontaine when the sea rises in the future."
Hines extended his index finger and simultaneously pressed the Heart of Thundergod onto the table.
The servant glanced at the Heart of God and agreed to Hines's terms without hesitation.
"I will do this even if you don't tell me, so I agree."
Hines smiled indifferently and stretched out another finger.
"Secondly, I need the Fatui to gather information on all the Fontainelanders' crimes."
"Incriminating information?"
The servant frowned. She really didn't understand what use Shines had for these things.
"Yes, my request is that simple. This Heart of God is of little use to me, and if I continue to keep it, it will only bring trouble to myself."
Hines pinched the Heart of Thunder between his two fingers and shook it slightly in front of his servant.
The servant grasped the top of God's Heart,
"The Fatui agreed to your terms..."
Suddenly, the servant changed the subject.
"...However, based on what you just said, you've already prepared how to deal with the prophecy, right?"
Hines leaned back, said nothing, and just smiled at the servant.
The servant nodded slightly,
"I wish you success. The Fatui will do their utmost to protect the people of Fontaine."
“A pleasure to work with~”
"Pleasant to work with."
The hasty and brief meeting ended here. Sines opened the door and walked in the direction he came from. As expected, Funina, who had escaped by chance, was still playing with stray cats.
"You know what? Water gods who don't go home this late are bound to be attacked by bad guys."
Funina, who was petting the cat, was so frightened that she turned around immediately. "Wasn't I disguised? How could I be recognized so easily?!"
After taking a closer look, Funina's tense mood suddenly relaxed.
"I was so scared, I thought someone was really going to attack me!"
Hines rolled his eyes and said, "If I hadn't been driven out by Egolia, you would have been attacked by the servants.
"Don't come out so late in the future. And with that hood of yours, do you think no one will recognize you just because you're wearing a cape?"
Hines waved his hand at Funina in disgust, signaling her to go home quickly.
After all, there is an old saying that if you are not home by 2:30 in the middle of the night, something bad is bound to happen!
Furninna lowered the brim of her hat somewhat awkwardly.
"I just came to see these poor kids..."
Hines looked in the direction where Finina was looking down, and saw several stray cats of different sizes baring their teeth at him, as if they would rush over if they noticed any movement from Hines.
Haha, these little guys are much braver than her.
"Why not just take them home and raise them?"
Facing Xines's question, Funina didn't even raise her head, but just shook her head slightly.
"I don't know what they think, but if it were me, I would think freedom is more important, right?"
Hines fell into a brief silence. He gently placed his hand on Funina's head.
"Don't worry, you will be free soon, very soon, I can guarantee..."
Finina raised her head, which had been lowered, and looked at the serious-looking Chines with a gentle smile.
"Then I will wait for your good news..."
"Um..."
Hines picked up the kitten on the ground and walked away.
"If you don't mind, I will help them find a suitable home. They will have freedom and warmth."
Finina smiled and nodded, waved at Xines's back, and whispered,
"Teacher, you're finally back... I'm so tired... Is freedom coming soon? You won't lie to me, will you? Never mind. Even if I'm deceived, I'll just have to hold on a little longer... Funina, you can do it!"
At this time, the servant was still sitting in the room, thinking about the conditions just proposed by Hines.
Is there a connection between the evidence and the prophecy? Legend has it that the prophecy of destruction is due to the fact that the people of Fontaine carry original sin from birth, and Chines wants everyone's evidence...
Boom boom boom!
The hurried knock on the door interrupted the servant's thoughts. She opened the door impatiently, only to find that the person outside was Hines who had returned.
Huh? Is he regretting this?
Hines silently took two steps back, and walked to a position where he could look the servant in the eye without looking up.
"Ahem, Hearth House, are you short of a cat?"
Cat? Does Linnet count?
Hines brought his hands from behind his back to his front, and in his hands were several kittens with frightened eyes.
