Genshin Impact: Shocked! Famous scenes were exposed by me

Chapter 521 Towards the Morning Star in the Water (2)



Leosley ceremoniously introduced the head nurse of Merlo Petersburg, Shigwen, to the two of them, and invited them to have dinner together.

concession canteen

"How was today's meal? Are you satisfied?" Xigwen asked.

Paimon opened the lid of the aluminum box. The food inside was very rich, including bread and a lot of fish and chips. He couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, it seems super delicious... Then Villette also said that the living conditions in Merlot Petersburg are not good." Well, I didn’t expect prisoners to eat such good meals every day!”

Sora couldn't wait to open the lunch box. His own looked very good, and the most important thing was that it was free!

Xigwen was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that they were so lucky that they could actually get a lunch box that only super lucky people could get.

Leosley smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with luck. I told Mr. Wersay to exempt you from drawing lots."

Paimon asked Leosley curiously, are the meals here random?

Sigwen nodded. What he could eat depended on luck. This should be regarded as a bit of bad taste from Master Versey in the concession canteen.

"Hey, you two, did you just meet Mr. Navilette? I would like to ask how he is doing. Is he busy at work? Have you paid attention to his health?"

Paimon briefly told Higwen about Navilet's recent situation.

[Keqing: Xigwen really cares about Villette]

[Xigwen: Because we, Meluxin, were all brought into Fontaine by Lord Villette]

[Xiaogong: Didn’t I say before that Merlot Petersburg is not under the management of Mr. Navilette? It has always been a state of autonomy, so what else needs to be discussed with Villette? 】

[Xigwen: Merlot Petersburg wants to provide Fontaine with various mechanical products, and some necessary supplies also need to be obtained from the water. There will always be such communication. Mr. Villette has a good character and you can talk to him clearly about anything. It doesn't take a lot of effort to communicate with him. 】

[Ningguang: What Leosli said to the traveler simply proves that he knows who sent the traveler and what he is here for]

[Paimon: Huh? Yeah? I saw a clear sense of stupidity in his eyes, and I thought he didn’t know it]

[Leosli: You will know after a little testing. If the travelers can't break through, they can only break through from your side, and it will be much easier]

[Paimon: Are you saying I'm simple-minded? 】

[Xigwen: Paimon is really not very smart, he can get a lot of information out of food]

[Ying: So give me all my lines next time]

[Kaia: This is not okay, we are used to you being mute]

【fluorescent:….】

...

Prison area

"Traveler and Paimon, right? New prisoners, remember to do what you have to do when the time comes, and don't get yourself into trouble. Your beds are over there, I'll take you there."

The jailer took the two of them to their own room. Compared with the environment outside, the environment here was getting worse day by day. The room in Merlo Petersburg was not only dirty and messy, but also the water pipes were dripping.

Paimon looked at the shabby tables and chairs, and the slightly dirty bed, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Are we sleeping here during this period... It's incredible, the days of staying at home and reading detective novels are so suddenly gone. ! It seems that a lot of things worth discussing just happened."

"Although the Duke didn't say it clearly, the meaning of his last words seems to be that he welcomed and entertained us just because we knew Villette... We are indeed prisoners in terms of status, and I did eat the cake... But in fact, it should be regarded as What about Villette’s foreign aid?”

"Hmm...Does he know that we have a mission here? Or am I overthinking it?"

Kong believed Leosley knew more than he let on.

Paimon nodded and continued: "He probably knew what we were here to do from the beginning, so he deliberately used this form to convey... [Hey! I have my eyes on you, don't make any small moves], etc. mean?"

As the saying goes, you should take care of yourself when you come. You can't just go back empty-handed and say to Villette: "The Duke looks terrible, shall we quit?"

And Leosley also promised that he would make concessions.

Kong suddenly thought of something important. Why is Linny here?

However, judging from the Duke's attitude, he paid no special attention to Linny just like other prisoners. The reason should be the same as his own, which is to investigate the whereabouts of the young master.

Paimon turned around and suddenly saw a card on the table, which looked a bit like a magician's prop. It should have been left by Linny.

The card also said: [I am very happy to meet again. Please come to the production area tomorrow to talk about it. 】

With some trepidation, Sora and Paimon spent their first night in Merlot Petersburg.

[Kaia: This camera movement reminds me of bad memories]

[Yan Fei: You finally woke up, let’s meet up with Dina Zedai]

[Keqing: The dead flower god suddenly attacked me on his birthday]

[Ying: This is not good at all. I can’t sleep until I wake up naturally every morning. We haven’t been there for the past few days. This jailer is really annoying! Don’t you know that beautiful girls can’t be woken up? 】

[Ying: Moreover, this room doesn’t even have a door, so there is no privacy at all, so I simply modified the dormitory. The products made in Liyue must be high-quality! 】

[Leosli: No wonder the jailer always reported you to me back then]

[Paimon: Hey! 】

[Diluc: I suggest that the alcoholic poet be sent to Merlot Petersburg. This may help him get rid of some of his bad habits, and maybe he can stop drinking! 】

[Wendy: I ​​can’t stay for half a day. Grandpa Diluc won’t be like this, right? 】

[Leosli: Merlo Petersburg is not like this. At most, it only eats bad food]

Under the urging of the jailer, the two came to the production area.

The guard said seriously: "Listen carefully to your work content and don't make any mistakes. Every piece of machinery here is more expensive than the two of you combined! And these machines are also very dangerous. Well done, it's done." Just go to the cafeteria, and if you can’t do your job well, you’ll have to see me in the infirmary.”

"In short, Merlo Petersburg doesn't want to lose any machinery, nor does it want to waste any annoying production capacity. Do you understand?"

"Your job is to use the machine over there to process the workpiece. Press the pedal at the right moment. If the machine gets stuck, use your [fists] to repair it."

"This is for you. If you bring me the processed workpiece, you can exchange it for the concession coupon."

[Kaia: I can finally understand why the young master wanted to escape from prison. If I were imprisoned here, I would also escape from prison]

[Master: My dignified executive is actually processing workpieces here. This is like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes! 】

[Ying: The video is too short. The processing of one part takes at least one and a half hours. It can really exhaust you to death. After finishing it, you will directly enter the sage mode! 】

[Paimon: I can also testify, Ying almost collapsed from exhaustion]

[Alice: These machines feel a bit like machine tools, but those machine tools are all automated, well... they are still a bit backward]

[Leosli: Automated machine tools? It’s a bit interesting, I wonder if the Fontaine Academy of Sciences can research it]

[Alice: I don’t think so. You can go to Sumeru to get scriptures. After all, they are the country of the God of Wisdom]

[Ying: My brother teaches online, how to work in Merlot Petersburg]

【null:……】

[Miko Yae: "The Reborn Me Driving Screws in Teyvat", this light novel must be very interesting]

[Xingqiu: There are no books in the store. Do you understand? 】

...

Naturally, these simple tasks could not stop Kong, and he quickly completed the processing of the parts. The guard looked at the workpiece handed over by Kong, and commented: "This workpiece... is so-so, but it is processed using a machine, and the products produced are similar. That’s it. Well, even if you pass, the concession coupons will be settled to you.”

After getting the concession ticket, Paimon saw no one around and complained: "Wow, I'm so exhausted. Is this almost the end of it? It's all the fault of the supervisor, who scared me so much that I didn't dare to say anything. Uh... Although I'm very hungry, I want to rush to the concession canteen now, but we still have an agreement with Linny, right? I guess he has just finished his work, so we should try to find him around here..."

The two searched for a long time but did not see Linny in the production area. Paimon once thought that Linny was lazy and did not work today.

At this moment, Linnie's voice came from not far away.

"Hey! Here!"

"Wow! You're so unpredictable, it almost scared me to death!" Paimeng patted his non-existent chest with lingering fear.

"Sorry, sorry, come over here, let's whisper..."

Paimon no longer cared about Linnie teasing her. When she got closer, she saw that Linnet was here. As expected, it was unlikely that their brother and sister would be separated.

Linnet nodded and said, "Yes, brother, he can't live without me at all."

Linny nodded slightly awkwardly and added: "Actually, not only Linnette, but also Femini is here too. Do you still remember him?"

Paimon nodded and had an impression. He seemed to be the little diver from Hearth House. The three brothers had formed a group to travel to Merlot Petersburg? A neat family?

"Tell me, how did you become a prisoner again? It's just a waste of the wonderful arguments that the travelers and I had in court!"

Linney explained: "Being a prisoner is of course easy. I organized a street performance and used the popularity accumulated at the opera house last time to attract many audiences. Then, I invited many live audiences to participate. Show. And right in front of everyone...their wallets disappeared!"

Lynette: "My brother committed the crime of stealing property, and I was an accomplice who witnessed everything and assisted in the crime."

Linni disagreed. The actual situation was not that bad. The missing property could be found in the leftmost drawer of the large filing cabinet in the law enforcement court. It would depend on when the law enforcers discovered it.

[Kaia: As expected of you, great magician! 】

[Xiaogong: As expected of you, great magician! 】

[Zhongli: Where does this sense of pride come from? 】

[Charlotte: Fontaine's latest legend "The Legend of the Phantom Thief"! 】

[Keqing: Listening to what Linni said, did they really go through the filing cabinet? 】

[Linny: As we all know, the purpose of us fools is to collect the heart of God, so I will not let go of any suspicious place. Lord Villette also knows this]

[Ying: This is a crime committed against the wind, right? Villette is the Dragon King, and Linny poses no threat to him]

[Servant: Navilette promised that he would not care about these things anymore]

[Navilet: Yes, I said this]

[Funina: What about her attack on me? 】

[Servant: Ms. Funina, I deeply apologize here. Beiguo Bank will contact you for specific compensation]

[Rich man: That’s my money! Dadalia is like this, and so are you! 】

[Young Master: Don’t think I don’t know. This little money is of no use to your Beiguo Bank. These are all diplomatic expenses]

[Rich man: Supporting Morax is also a diplomatic expense? 】

[Young Master: Mr. Zhongli and I hit it off right away. Why spend some money? In order to have an in-depth communication with Liyue, is it wrong to spend money to please the gods of a country? 】

[Wutao: That’s right! You are also from Liyue, so don’t be so petty. There was a reason why Zhongli didn’t recognize you back then]

[Rich man: Oh? You should come and listen to it]

[Hutao: I don’t know. You have to ask Zhongli about this. The hall can’t handle the guest’s affairs]

...

Sora: "Linny, that's not the point. The point is what you are here to do."

"That's right. The last time I hid my identity from you, I said at that time that if you were angry, I could tell you everything and no longer hide it. So I won't hide anything this time. Look now Come on, Hearth House’s interests have no conflict with yours.”

"We accepted the order of the [Father] of Hearth House...that is, the [Servant] and came here to conduct an investigation. As for the content of the investigation...you may not have heard of it, but there has always been a hidden person in Merlot Petersburg. Secret. Some even say that the entire Merlot Petersburg itself exists to guard that secret."

"Hearth House has been investigating this matter a long time ago, trying to reveal the secrets... But recently, all the spies we planted, including the guards who infiltrated, have mysteriously disappeared and have never been heard from again."

"We see this as a provocation, and that's what we came to Merlot Petersburg for."

Kong was a little curious, why were Linni and the others so persistent in this secret? Even if it is a crime, it must be investigated thoroughly.

But what Linnie said next surprised him.

"[Father] has confirmed through some means that Fontaine's Heart of God is not in the hands of the water god Fukalos. Because of this information, we guess that Fontaine's Heart of God is likely to be in the hands of Melo Peter Fort, it’s related to that [secret].”
