Actually, news from Inazuma started a few days ago, it just hadn't reached Fontaine yet.
It's estimated that in another day or two, even Snezhnaya, the farthest country from Inazuma, will know about it!
"Oh my goodness! That's terrifying!" Alex thought of Musou no Hitotachi, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
I can't solve it! Don't make me solve it, don't come to me for this! I myself am completely reliant on the power of my Vision to live.
However, if Lumine were backing him up, he wouldn't be afraid at all. Even Aether wouldn't be able to handle this.
"Looking at you, why are you so afraid of Inazuma's Archon?" Furina covered her mouth, mocking him, completely like a mischievous child.
Alex rolled his eyes at Furina's appearance: "That's the Raiden Shogun! Do you know about Musou no Hitotachi?"
??? Furina was puzzled. Regarding the outside world of Fontaine, besides the news about the Fontaine prophecy from her informants, Furina didn't pay much attention to other things. After all, managing her own country already exhausted her.
Seeing Furina's two different-colored large eyes looking at him with such innocence, Alex knew she hadn't seen the terror of Raiden Ei: "In short, she's infinitely more powerful than you!"
"Hmph! That's not necessarily true!" Furina turned her head away in a huff... After wandering around with Furina for another afternoon, they finally found a villa that an aristocrat used to live in, less than a kilometer from Fontaine.
Outside the villa, wild grass and flowers grew within a few hundred square meters. Judging by the growth of the plants, it had probably been a long time since anyone had passed through.
Alex looked at the terrain. Indeed, it wasn't close to the main road and was more than ten meters higher than the surrounding terrain. To get to the main road, one had to go down a small, sloping path.
The towering Palais Mermonia was not far away and could be seen at a glance.
Alex looked at the light. No wonder this place was a bit desolate; the sun shone on the tall Palais Mermonia, and its shadow fell on this open space.
But Alex wasn't worried. The Spirit Field didn't require sunlight. If he hadn't found this rather satisfactory residence, Alex would have considered buying a large empty plot underground.
He immediately made a decision and completed the procedures before dark. It should have taken several days, but because Furina was with him, everything was simplified.
Even the large villa, which should have sold for 500 million Mora, Furina allowed Alex to buy for 100 million Mora in full.
At this point, Alex was officially settled in Fontaine.
In the days after buying the house, Alex was busy tidying up his new home and buying furniture.
And it was also during these days that many familiar characters unexpectedly visited Alex's new home.
Everyone he knew had heard somehow that he had bought a large villa and took the time to visit... Until that afternoon, a Damselette with pink hair walked in: "Oh dear, I've been so busy these past few days!"
Seeing Alex sitting on the sofa drinking black tea, the Damselette also unceremoniously sat opposite him, placing Monsieur Verite on the tea table: "Excuse me~ It's been a few days, I've missed you, Mr. Superstar!"
"...Yes, Charlotte, you're here too. Make yourself at home~" Alex replied.
"I didn't expect Mr. Alex to buy this villa in Fontaine and settle down... I heard that it was also quite a bit cheaper thanks to Lady Furina." Charlotte habitually took out her small notebook.
"I'm not too sure about that~" Alex spread his hands.
Charlotte looked at the large villa: "Even a villa not far outside the city of Fontaine is worth hundreds of millions of Mora. However, there are very few people in Teyvat who can pay 100 million Mora in full at once."
Charlotte picked up Monsieur Verite: "If possible, I can interview..."
"No, there's no need." Alex refused sternly.
"You still owe me an exclusive interview." Charlotte's light voice sounded.
This one sentence left Alex speechless.
So, next, Alex began to face Charlotte's endless questions... Alex was in agony! ... "It was a pleasant interview with you, see you next time~ Mr. Alex." As the sun set, Charlotte waved goodbye.
Alex wiped his cold sweat. Although he mostly fudged the answers to most of the questions, he also experienced what it felt like to be interviewed by a real reporter. They really dared to ask anything!
What views, explanations, reactions, future plans, how many children to have, boys or girls... What can I say? I look with my eyes... Alex was so drained by Charlotte, that tormenting imp, that he collapsed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Alex suddenly realized the purpose of buying this house, something that Charlotte's ten thousand 'whys' from yesterday had reminded him of.
He had drawn a Spirit Field and seeds in a ten-pull, so he needed to buy a big house to plant an acre of Spirit Field; otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted it.
And it cost him a small fortune in Mora, exchanged for a villa outside Fontaine that wasn't of much use.
However, he didn't expect that the process of installing an acre of Spirit Field would also have the game's unique red and green holograms; everything had to be green to be placed.
Fortunately, the open space Alex bought was large enough.
However, during this process, Alex tried jumping up to see if he could lock the Spirit Field in the air.
In the end, he was overthinking it. Anyway, the open space was large enough, so Alex simply placed it down.
Once confirmed, the wild flowers and weeds on one acre of land directly disappeared, turning into a Spirit Field, already in a cultivated state.
Alex opened his phone's backpack, looking at the perfect strawberry seeds inside. He didn't know how to farm, and there was no instruction manual. He thought he'd just find a random hole, bury some dirt, and that would be enough.
As he was thinking, Alex noticed a 'Use' button. Could it be???
Alex directly tapped on the Spirit Field. A faint halo appeared, covering an area of about ten meters.
A strawberry icon appeared above the Spirit Field's halo, with 'Growing: 71:59:59...' "Phew~" Alex breathed a sigh of relief. This was more like it... If it had been very troublesome, Alex was sure he wouldn't touch farming again after this one time.
Fortunately, it was quite simple. Perhaps he could go to the Fontaine market later to see if there were any seeds for sale.
Could seeds sold in Teyvat be planted with one click? If not, then whatever he planted would depend solely on what he drew.
Alex smiled contentedly, then nodded. The next moment, he disappeared and reappeared in the Palais Mermonia.
Entering the palace, the busy civil servants were still at work. Alex saw the Melusine behind the reception desk in front of Neuvillette's office.
He vaguely remembered Furina introducing her, she seemed to be called: "Sede..."
"My name is Sedene. Neuvillette is out on official business, and as for Lady Furina, perhaps you can try looking for her at the Opera Epiclese. I heard she's been watching operas again these past few days." Sedene answered directly before Alex even asked, as if she could read minds.
