Chapter 740's hard requirements are very met.
Fu Ningna really wanted to ask Xu Ning, "Who asked you for advice? Just say something fair."
Okay, I admit I did want you to help me out of that situation, but that's because you're on my side!
Xu Ning could tell from the sight of Funina's long, snow-white eyebrows standing on end and her cheeks puffing out that this fragile water goddess was on the verge of anger.
"Of course, I'm just speaking the truth. I'm not helping Zhi Dong's friends do anything that violates Fontaine's principles. After all, visiting a guilty person is a serious matter, and if it's not handled carefully, it might give criminals a lot of opportunities to take advantage of."
Xu Ning's additional comment slightly calmed down Fu Ningna's impending outburst of temper.
The servant's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "I originally thought that Lord Xu Ning was genuinely trying to help, but even so, Lord Xu Ning is generally supportive of this visit, isn't he?"
Xu Ning nodded and said, "Of course."
Navelette shook her head slightly. "Perhaps you two are unaware, but Melo Petersburg has always been in a state of autonomy, and even we have no right to interfere. Even diplomatic issues cannot be used as an excuse."
Xu Ning chuckled and said, "The way you put it makes it sound like there's a corner in Fontaine where the Water God's power can't reach. But that's not a problem, is it? As I said, it's still easy to get into Mello Petersburg. The only thing is that we need to be very careful about who we send to visit. It would be best if it were a third party who has no connection with Fontaine to the winter..."
Navelette frowned slightly. "You mean to let..."
Xu Ning pointed at himself with the mouth of the gourd, "You guessed right, it's me. Isn't it perfect? No matter what information we find there, I can share it with both of you. I will never favor either side. Can both of you rest assured?"
Navelette nodded. “What you said makes sense, but I think the most suitable person is not you, but that traveler who has traveled the world and his companions.”
The servant nodded slightly and said, "Although this proposal is not entirely satisfactory, there is no better or faster solution for the time being, so let's proceed with it for now. We can discuss other details after the investigation report is released."
Fu Ningna was somewhat sulking because Xu Ning had suddenly switched sides, and she also angrily said that the traveler was more suitable.
"Hey, are you guys trying to leave me out? I was the one who came up with the idea..."
Xu Ning smiled wryly as he watched the three of them inexplicably reach an agreement, and could only try to salvage the situation, "...Even if you think my little brother is very suitable, have you considered whether he would be willing?"
"Do you know what kind of feelings a traveler who gets an arrest warrant for almost every country he visits has about prison? Do you know what kind of torture it is to make a white-haired guy who can't live without meat eat in a prison canteen?"
Navelette hesitated for a moment, then said, "That was something we didn't consider carefully."
The servant glanced at Xu Ning and asked, "But you can persuade him to go, right?"
Xu Ning chuckled and said, "Of course, as long as I'm with him, he'll definitely agree."
After a while.
Navilette: "...That's the gist of it."
Kong and Paimon, who had just been invited by the Court of Justice, both showed expressions of rejection after hearing Navelette's proposal.
Although the intelligence shared by Navelette revealed that the young master, who had only been serving his sentence for a few days, had inexplicably disappeared, this could potentially lead to diplomatic problems between Fontaine and Winter.
However, in Kong's opinion, the young master was indeed very powerful, and perhaps he had escaped from prison. It was really not worth it for Kong to suffer in prison just to provide evidence for an officer of the Fools who might escape.
Of course, he took his desire to never receive another arrest warrant very seriously.
As for Paimon's reasons, they are even simpler.
"Going to Mero Petersburg would definitely mean handing over the treasures from the cave, right? We'd be sleeping in prison cells and doing hard labor to earn our living, right? I'm sorry, just thinking about it makes me so scared I almost fall to the ground."
Fu Ningna and the other two were surprised that the reasons given by the two women for refusing were exactly the same as those given by Xu Ning. They could only look at Xu Ning together and indicate that they could begin.
Xu Ning gestured for Kong and Paimon to sit down at the table, poured each of them a bowl of Thousand Winds, then opened the pastries brought by the servants on the table, picked up a piece and ate it first, and then, while urging the two to eat, said, "I just told them that I am the most suitable candidate to go there, but no matter what I say, they won't listen."
Seeing that Xu Ning had already started eating, Kong Jian casually picked up a piece and ate it with Qian Feng. As for Xiao Paimeng, he never knew the meaning of politeness.
"Why are you the most suitable, brother? Have you had... that kind of experience?" Kong asked curiously.
Xu Ning waved his hands repeatedly and said, "How could that be? Besides, it's not like the longer you stay in jail, the better."
"Okay, I'll tell you about it."
"First of all, brother, I can bring the Dust Concealment Gourd in invisibly, and they will definitely not be able to detect it. Just because of this, I will not suffer in Mero Petersburg."
Kong Shen agreed. If Brother Xu went in with his wine gourd, it wouldn't be jail time, it would be a vacation.
"There is a second point, which is that my hard requirements are very much in line with those of Melo Petersburg."
Kong asked doubtfully, "What are the hard requirements that you must meet, brother?"
Xu Ning laughed and said, "Naturally, it's because I've already committed a crime, and they can send me to Mero Petersburg at any time without trial."
Upon hearing this, Kong, who was eating pastries, looked up at Vilette and the Water God sitting to the side, who seemed to be looking on expectantly, with a hint of worry. He was afraid that Brother Xu might be imprisoned for asking an extra question.
However, Paimon, who was busy eating and drinking, didn't think much about it and asked the question vaguely.
"What crime have you committed this time, you big drunkard? If you need Detective Pamond to solve this, you'd better prepare Qingyi's signature honey-glazed ham as payment in advance..."
Xu Ning sighed insincerely and pointed to the pastries on the table, "Perhaps it's because I stole the pastries that Ambassador Zhidong offered to the Water God in front of the Supreme Judge of Fontaine..."
Paimon's hand, which was scooping pastries into his mouth, suddenly stopped. Half a strawberry with tiny teeth marks rolled off his lips and landed on the table with a clatter.
Kong looked down at the half-eaten pastry in his hand and said with a wry smile, "Big brother, are you kidding me?"
