Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

In the early morning, a panicked knock on the door brought Link back to reality from his sleep.

Frowning, Link tiredly climbed up from the bed, wiped the tears that had been left on his face for some time, took a piece of clothing and put it on his body, and opened the door in a slightly embarrassed manner.

There were two acquaintances standing at the door, one was a slender little girl with cat ears, and the other was a little boy with blond hair who looked a little timid.

Link looked around and didn't see the most eloquent boss, so he turned his attention back to the young girl in front of him.

The strange thing is that the knocking on the door between the two of them just now was so panicky and urgent, but when the two of them actually saw Link, they fell into an awkward silence.

Link shook his head helplessly. Seeing the anxious but timid looks of the two guys, he had a rough guess as to why they came to find him so early in the morning.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Linnet glanced at Femini, who had her head lowered. Her responsibility as a sister gave her the courage to take a step forward.

"Lin, Master Link! Please help Linny!" Linnette's cheeks turned red due to nervousness, and she lowered her head humbly.

"Linny was arrested by people from Merlo Petersburg!"

Link didn't speak, he just looked at Linnet quietly.

When Link first entered Merlo Petersburg, he had already tried to contact this small group headed by Linny. But what did he get?

Contradiction, ridicule, and doubts wrapped in conspiracy theories.

Link is a dignified "supervisory envoy" sent by the Queen. In addition, he is also the general person in charge of the Zhidong Embassy in Fontaine. In Fontaine, even people from the Shadow-Chasing Court must bow politely to him when they see him. It is not an exaggeration to use the word "high position and power" to describe Link, but such a high-ranking and powerful Link was actually beaten by these three The powerless guy shook his head.

Out of adult tolerance and fear of Arecino, Link showed a magnanimous style. He did not settle accounts with these three guys, and even reminded them.

But these three people still rejected Link's kindness and rejected Link's initiative to communicate.

You like to commit suicide, right? Then go ahead and do it.

Link had already decided to give up dealing with these three guys. His only goal now was to earn more concession coupons, then fight for a reduced sentence and get out of Merlo Petersburg as soon as possible.

But what surprised Link was that Lynette, who had been so "backbone" before, actually came to him again after her brother, who she thought was "omnipotent", had tricked her.

"What did Arlecino say?" Link looked extremely cold.

"I... we can only contact Father on Monday..." Femini stumbled and said, "Lord Link, it's... you... can you first..."

With a bang, the dormitory door closed.

Femini and Linnette were both startled, especially Linnette. Her tail suddenly straightened behind her, her eyes were red, and she almost cried.

She herself felt that she was shameless. She clearly rejected Link, but she came to see him again after Linny's accident...

But just when she was dejected and ready to think of other solutions...

crunch--

The dormitory door opened again.

Link's face was still ugly, but at this time he had changed into a clean formal suit.

Link is very unhappy now, but after all, he is not a brat who will bring his personal grudges into work. Something happened to the people under Arecino. As the highest-ranking fool present, Link needed to try to solve the problem, both emotionally and rationally.

If these two guys didn't come and talk to Link, Link could still pretend to be dead with the excuse of "not knowing", but now that these two guys are shameless and come to Link...

The matter of "not saving someone in the face of death" still holds a lot of weight in the hearts of fools.

Link didn't care that much about Arlecino's favor, but he had to be on guard to prevent "someone with a bad intention" from labeling him randomly.

"Let's go, tell me what happened first."

Link said coldly that even though he agreed to help, he would never look down upon these two cheaters.

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

Linnette stared blankly at the man in front of her, and suddenly felt her heart pounding, beating so fast...

He...is he actually a tsundere?

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

Following Femini and Linnette, they came to the office area of ​​Merlot Petersburg. Through communication along the way, Link also got a rough idea of ​​the whole matter.

In order to avenge his sister, Linni sneaked into the Punishment League and tried to assassinate Count Deluna. As a result, Count Deluna died. The scene of Linni's murder was bumped into by Duke Leosley, and now he was directly killed by Leo Sli was arrested and held in solitary confinement, with his life and death uncertain.

Within the confines of Merlot Petersburg, Leosli has supreme law enforcement and judicial power, which even Navilette cannot interfere with. In other words, Leosli's rules are the rules of the entire Merlot Petersburg.

However, in order to "convince the public", Leosley will still let his law enforcement and prison guards conduct certain investigations.

Leosley can be unreasonable, but he wants his criminals to think he is.

After sizing up the heavily guarded guards around him, Link thought for a while before taking a step forward.

"What are you doing?" The guard stopped Link, his cold voice carrying an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"I am Link. I have been entrusted by Linny's sister and brother to serve as his defender." Link said slowly.

The guard smiled indifferently, "Defender? Boy, have you forgotten that you are still a criminal? Do you think anyone will believe what a criminal says?"

Link was silent for a while, then took out a dog-headed gold coin from his pocket and handed it to the guard.

The guard was stunned for a moment after seeing the gold coin, and looked at Link in surprise, "Why do you have the Duke's token?"

"It doesn't matter why I have it, what's important is that I have it." Link said indifferently.

This gold coin was secretly given to him by Funina when she visited the prison. It is said that she "got" it from Navilette with great difficulty to save Link's life.

"...Understood, I will inform the Duke immediately." The guard nodded and looked at Link with a lot of respect.

Holding back the pain, Link took a deep breath, thinking that he must find a way to get the gold coin back.

The three of them waited for a while, and then the guard hurried back.

"Three of you, Your Majesty the Duke invites you."

"Where's the gold coin?"

"……what?"

"It's the token you mentioned."

"Give it...to the Duke." The guard looked confused.

"...Okay." Link felt a sharp pain in his heart. The last time he lost billions, he didn't feel so uncomfortable.

………………

Following the guard through a long corridor, Link and others turned a few more turns and finally arrived at Duke Leosley's office.

The guard bowed respectfully and then retreated, while Link stretched out his hand and knocked on Leosley's door.
