Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

After finishing his afternoon work, Link first went to the restaurant to receive his welfare meal, and then wandered around various areas of Merlot Petersburg.

Melo was not there when we got food in the evening, but the competition at noon had already been recognized by the restaurant staff. Mello also said hello specially, and told the people below that if Link came to eat, he would be given a standard set meal of two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup.

And if Link needs it, he can also borrow the restaurant's kitchen, but he needs to pay a certain license coupon as a fee for the use of the stove and a fee for food materials.

Walking slowly in this steel castle, for some reason, Link felt extremely calm at this time. He was not worried about the affairs of the Zhidong Embassy. Before he was imprisoned, he had already drawn up a later management and development plan for the embassy, ​​and appointed Monica as the acting person in charge to coordinate and plan all matters of the embassy.

Link believed in Monica, not only in the girl's ability, but also in his own training level. In addition, even if something unexpected happens to Link in the embassy, ​​with Link's friendship with Navia and his cooperation with Annabelle, the Thorny Rose Society and the Seberis family will definitely lend a helping hand. .

Worse still, there is Arlecino, the fourth-ranked Fool CEO, who takes the blame. The strength of the top three executives is already comparable to that of gods, while Arecino's combat power may not have reached the level of gods, but it is very close.

The reason why Link came to Merlo Petersburg also had his own purpose.

Link had been extremely interested in this legendary prison in Fontaine before. Building a prison underwater will undoubtedly require a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, and if its purpose is just to "prevent criminals from escaping", it would be too unworthy.

When things go awry, there must be monsters, and where things are unreasonable, there are often secrets hidden. And after Link's observation during this period, he discovered something extremely interesting.

Link originally thought that the original design of Merlot Petersburg should be an underwater factory, but as the exploration continued, Link found that the design of this castle was a bit weird. This is not like a prison. As for the assembly lines for making clockwork mechanisms in the factory, they should have been built later.

The original design of Merlot Petersburg... gave people the feeling of a fortress, as if it was fighting against something.

So what does it fight against? Generally speaking, a fortress should have the function of isolation and defense. It should be built at a dangerous pass to separate the enemy from one's own position. But what puzzled Link was that the castle was only surrounded by water.

Although there are indeed some alien creatures in the sea in Fontaine, is it worth building such a huge fortress to deal with these "weak" creatures?

Link had not considered the possibility that the enemy had been eliminated, but he had not found any information about the "enemy" at all. Link also thought about whether Merlo Petersburg was actually a building on the water, but the sea water rose due to the movement of the earth's crust, but this is obviously impossible. If such a drastic terrain change had occurred, Merlot Petersburg would have collapsed long ago.

There are too many mysteries hidden here. Link is not a fortune teller. Although his mind is good, he cannot deduce any well-founded and correct answers when there are so many unknowns.

………………

Link breathed a sigh of relief. Since the conditions were flawed, there was no point in continuing the reasoning. Link was not the kind of person who liked to get into dead ends. Moreover, for now, the secret of Merlo Petersburg has not allowed Link to see any actual benefits.

Curiosity can easily kill the cat. If there is no profit, Link would rather let the curious bird fly for a while longer.

So what should you do now?

Earn concession coupons to absolve yourself of your guilt? Trying to gain the trust of Arlecino's three children as soon as possible? Or should we go find out the whereabouts of Count Deluna and find some time to kill this thing?

Link couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He was already in jail, but there was still so much work to do. As an "inspector", he had so many messes to take care of.

.....................

After stretching, Link raised his legs and walked towards the dormitory area. It was time to see what method the big guy from before would come up with to get revenge on him.

Following the long pipe to his dormitory, Link felt that the atmosphere here was a little strange as soon as he opened the door.

The dormitory where Link lives was originally designed to sleep six people, but now there is only one bed left. Various facilities have also been briefly renovated. A bottle of perfume is placed in the corner, and the original unpleasant smell has dissipated a lot.

Link raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up at the only bed in the room. His hard iron bed had been replaced by a larger bed at some point. Although it is also made of iron, there are several layers of mattresses on it, so it is probably much more comfortable to sleep on than before.

There was also a cabinet and a set of tables and chairs placed next to the bed. The entire arrangement was like a private room in a hotel, giving Link the illusion that he was in the wrong room.

Opening the cabinet, there were some changes of clothes and towels, as well as daily necessities such as shower gel and a hot water bottle. As for the desk drawer, there are a few detective novels, probably for Link to pass the time. In addition, there are some papers and pens.

Link picked up a pen with a rare style. After looking at it carefully, he found that there was a small dog head pattern on the body of the pen.

Link nodded thoughtfully.

These things should have been arranged for him by Miss Annabelle. After all, Seberius means "cerberus" in the Fontaine language, and the family's emblem is a dog's head.

Link had thought before that Annabell should also have some power in Merlo Petersburg. After all, this woman had a bunch of ruthless people who had served in Merlo Petersburg.

Link couldn't help but sigh that this woman really knew how to win over people's hearts. After this operation, even though Link knew that Annabell was deliberately trying to win over him, his impression of this woman still increased a lot.

After taking a comfortable bath and changing into clean clothes, Link took out the mystery novel in the drawer. He was about to enjoy a leisurely and comfortable time before going to bed. When he flipped through it, he found that there was also a mystery novel inside. A small piece of paper with a line of beautiful words written in a neat and elegant font:

"A good man lives a safe life"
