Chapter 1417 Charlotte and Navia
The next day.
Jing Fantian took Keqing to Zhidong, preparing to open a canal from Zhidong to Liyue upstream of Bishuiyuan.
In winter, the ground is mostly frozen, and the terrain is not much flatter than Liyue. Jing Fantian must spend a long time to open this canal.
Meanwhile in Fontaine.
The news of Liyue opening up the Grand Golden Canal was not kept secret. On the contrary, the Seven Stars were eager for the world to know about it so that merchants from all countries could use the Golden Canal for trade.
The editor-in-chief of Steambird News, Ou Fu, realized that it was big news, so she asked Charlotte to go to Liyue to interview and record it.
"Charlotte, you and His Highness are very close. We didn't seize the opportunity when the Seven Gods gathered. This time, we must be the first to obtain the first information about the Golden Grand Canal."
Charlotte didn't want to get close to Jing Fantian, the lecherous dragon, but there was no other way. The reporter had to visit in person to get first-hand information.
Otherwise, they could only pick up the scraps left by others for reporting, which was unbearable for Fontaine's largest newspaper, the Steam Bird News.
"Okay, Editor-in-Chief, I'll go to Liyue right now to document the situation on the Grand Golden Canal and interview His Highness about his original intention in opening the Five Nations Canal."
Ou Fu nodded and said, "By the way, I'll bring the blessings of Lady Funina, the Goddess of Water."
"No problem, I promise to complete the task."
"Go ahead. By the way, I heard the canal between Chenyu Valley and Bishuiyuan has been opened."
"Our trade with Liyue is no longer limited to tea from the Sunken Jade Valley and jade from the Layered Abyss. Goods from Liyue Harbor can now be obtained along the canal in the Sunken Jade Valley."
"Charlotte, this time when you go to Liyue, go through the Sunken Jade Valley and see if it's really as the rumors say."
Charlotte nodded heavily: "Okay, Editor-in-Chief."
Then, Charlotte took a boat to Soft Light Harbor.
In the afternoon, Charlotte arrived at Soft Light Harbor and found a girl with golden brown wavy hair greeting her.
"Charlotte, long time no see."
"Navia?!"
After Charlotte got ashore, she asked Navia why she was there.
Navia smiled and didn't rush to answer Charlotte: "Charlotte, I guess you are planning to go to Liyue to get first-hand information about the Grand Golden Canal!"
Charlotte was guessed right, but she was not shocked. The news that Jing Fantian opened the Five Nations Grand Canal spread like wildfire.
Many well-informed businessmen have already learned the news and are preparing to send people to Liyue to confirm the authenticity of the news.
Navia then spoke about herself: "Charlotte, I went to Liyue to gather information just like you. I am the president of the Thorn Rose Society."
"The Thorn Rose Society is a mutual aid organization among the people of Fontaine. Many businessmen have joined it. They have entrusted me to go to Liyue to discuss cooperation."
"If Liyue really built the Five Nations Canal, merchants would be unable to remain calm."
The core function of the Rose Thorn Society is to provide assistance to the residents of Fontaine, including material support, dispute mediation, and crisis rescue. In short, it is an independent small government.
The masters of Fontaine Court were not afraid at all. Instead, they were very happy that their duties were divided up so that they would not have to deal with these trivial matters.
Navia is the president of this generation of the Thorn Rose Society and is responsible for serving the general public.
The Five Nations Canal will not only affect big merchants, but small vendors will no longer have to rely on Fontaine for sales. Selling to other countries through the canal is also a way out.
Also, if the Five Kingdoms Grand Canal is really bustling, then Navia is ready to raise funds from merchants to build a waterway, a waterway from Fontaine Court to Roudeng Port.
There are now three waterways in Fontaine, namely the so-called Clementine Line, Navia Line and Cares Line. They were built by Navia's father and are named after their family.
Water freight cannot compare to cargo ships, as water transport focuses more on the passengers’ travel experience. Many tourists who come to Fontaine want to experience the parade on the Fontaine waterway.
Navia wants guests entering Fontainebleau from Port Rouleau to experience Fontainebleau’s unique mode of transportation right away.
Before they knew it, Navia, along with her three followers, boarded the ship with Charlotte and headed for the Sunken Jade Valley in Liyue.
Navia asked her three assistants to prepare macarons, a special snack of Fontaine, and invited Charlotte to taste them together.
The two of them talked about everything on the boat and gradually became close friends.
Navia and Charlotte's original relationship was not very deep, and was mostly a professional partnership.
As the current president of the Thorn Rose Society, Navia often travels around the streets of Fontaine, solving difficult problems for the people and enjoys considerable reputation among the people.
With just a wave of the hand, they can rise up. The water god is dead, and the thorn rose will be in power.
Charlotte reported Navia in order to increase newspaper traffic, and Navia also used the spread of the Steambird Newspaper to increase the popularity of the Rose Society and make more people believe in the Rose Society.
After a while, we became friends, but we were both very busy and didn't have a good time to talk to each other.
Today, taking the opportunity to go to Liyue together, the two of them got to know each other better and deepen their relationship.
Macaron is a baked pastry with a crispy shell and soft filling that creates a double taste that makes people fall in love with it when they eat it for the first time.
Charlotte ate a lot, and Navia was happy to see her, and then she started to talk about her own worries.
"I haven't seen Brahma for a long time. He helped me find Marcelle, and I haven't thanked him properly yet!"
Charlotte saw Navia's expression, which was like that of a girl who longed for a hero.
If you think about it carefully, Jing Fantian is a hero to Navia.
When everyone was questioning Navia's father, he stood up and caught Marcelle, the murderer of the serial disappearance of girls, and cleared Navia's father's name.
Ever since her father's innocence was cleared, Navia has become much more cheerful and proactive in her work. The streets and alleys of Fontainebleau have gradually fallen in love with this re-blooming yellow rose.
After all, people who love to laugh are liked wherever they go.
Charlotte asked, "Navia, are you familiar with His Highness? If so, can you take me to interview him?"
Navia shook her head: "We are not very familiar with each other. He has been to Fontaine a few times, but his stay was very short, and his attention was focused on Lady Funina."
"I think I am just a stranger to him."
"Charlotte, what about you? I remember you reported many of Brahma's deeds and became his personal reporter?"
Charlotte shook her head. "His Highness wanted to recruit me, but I refused. I used to be active around him, but since he went to Inazuma, I haven't been able to get firsthand information."
If Jing Fantian was in the mainland, Charlotte could still follow up and expose the news, but if he went to Inazuma, Charlotte would have no choice.
At that time, Inazuma was still in the sealed state, and Charlotte did not dare to disobey the order and enter Inazuma without permission.
It's understandable that journalists use some tricks to obtain first-hand information, but breaking the law is unscrupulous.
That's not a reporter, that's a paparazzi.
Navia and Charlotte talked a lot and felt sleepy before they knew it. Under the arrangement of Navia's men, they packed up and went to bed.
Navia heard Charlotte's voice in a daze.
"Navia, get up quickly. We've arrived at Yilongbu and have entered Liyue territory."
"what?!"
Navia woke up quickly, put on her clothes hastily, and walked out of the cabin with sleepy eyes.
Go outside and take a look.
