Genshin Impact: Become a heart-stealing thief in the land of justice

Yu Shui, who was mercilessly exposed by Leosley, scratched his head in embarrassment. He simply stopped asking around and around and went straight to the point to briefly describe what he had just left the office to do and the people he met.

"I had already checked the information before I came back. Lenore's mother Agnes was imprisoned for killing her father and was sentenced to ten years in prison. However, she died of illness five years ago. During these five years, Lenore They are all secretly taken care of by the guards of Merlot Petersburg.”

Lenore was eight years old this year, which meant that Agnes died in her third year in prison. Lenore became a helpless orphan... Catpila also began to take care of Lenore at that time.

After learning these contents, Leosley thought silently for a while, as if thinking about why such a thing happened.

"Ha~~ It seems that Merlo Petersburg's lower levels have done a good job of keeping some information secret. I haven't even heard of it in five years."

"After all, it's not a big deal. If it weren't for the relationship between that guy Lessing and Katpila, I wouldn't have known about it."

"Let me answer your question just now. It stands to reason that the child who is born needs to continue serving his sentence until the end of his sentence, but those are the rules left by the previous warden, not mine."

"Does that mean it can be changed? No one has the right to comment on what the Duke wants to do in Merlot Petersburg."

Yu Shui raised the cup and took a sip of the sweet tea made by Leosli. It still had the same familiar taste. Suddenly, he seemed to notice the inquiring gaze from the tea owner.

"You are not the kind of person with overflowing kindness. Why are you really planning to help this time? And you came here specifically to ask my opinion."

"Oh? Then this is because you don't know me well enough. I have helped many poor people in the Gray River of Fontainebleau. Some people will find a bag of mola on their bedside when they wake up. This all stems from From my kindness.”

Yu Shui thought about it carefully, and it seemed that no one knew about this. People in the Huihe River in Fengdanting would not associate this kind of robbing the rich and giving to the poor with the thieves.

Although he only helped people with fish, it was already very difficult. He couldn't help so many people learn to "fish".

"So you have done this kind of thing? Well, I'm not too surprised, but now you are asking me for help to help the poor little girl. Do you have to show a little sincerity before I can help willingly?"

Leosley put down the tea cup in his hand, put his wrist lightly on his chin, and looked at the white-haired man in front of him with ambiguous eyes, staring into his pure blue eyes.

This look, and the tacit understanding that belonged to an old lover... Yu Shui knew what kind of sincerity the Duke wanted, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly... Then he stood up under his gaze.

"Okay, okay, I'll play some music for you."

"Ha~~I'm just going to add to the fun."

"嘁~"

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, but at least I have solved an incident during the fight against the abyss. If you need help with anything in Merlo Petersburg, it is most convenient to ask the Duke to solve it.

In order to let the Duke help endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, Yu Shui actually enjoyed it very much. Anyway, the matter was settled.

The next day, when the guards went to look for Caterpillar and Lenore and asked them to pack up and go to the management area to find the Duke, Catpillar was a little surprised that this was too efficient.

Just one night... He originally planned to get the chance to send Lenore out by relying on the game to earn concession tickets inside the guard. Now it seems that this plan is not as convenient as asking for help from relevant people.

"Brother Carter...are we leaving?"

With sleepy eyes, Lenore looked at the guard brother and Catpila in the room, not quite sure what the situation was now.

"Well, yes, you...should be able to leave Merlot Petersburg."

"But I still think it's very good here. Brother Carter, will you leave with me?"

"Perhaps, let me tell you a story, Lenore?"

"it is good!"

The story...the story of the giant and the garden, the story of the little girl and the witch, a fairy tale that has been circulating in Fontaine for a long time, but it seems to be destined that their journey away from the castle is not destined to succeed at once.

……

"Have you determined that you can't contact the patrol ship leading to Iliye Island?"

The entrance to the rail patrol ship located in the Merlot Petersburg management area is the only direct connection between Merlot Petersburg and the outside world. However, now it seems that the connection is disconnected and the rail patrol boat cannot be contacted.

Yu Shui stood behind Leosli and turned to ask the guard sister who was in charge here. She was already panicking because of the Duke's personal arrival.

"Madam, have you admitted any prisoners from Irie Island during this time?"

"No...no, since Master Navilette left, there has been no patrol ship here again."

"...That's five days, enough time for anyone who is interested to do something about this route."

Yu Shui had already noticed something, and looked at Leosley who was still trying to contact the orbiting ship through the device, and sighed.

"Don't try it... Merlo's route to Petersburg should have been destroyed."

"…well."

Leosley had no choice but to accept this fact.

Thanks to Lenore's incident, they discovered this incident that could not be noticed at the first time. The abyss destroyed Merlo Petersburg's external routes, which was equivalent to cutting off the possibility of support and escape.

Turning around and looking at each other, Yu Shui could see the severity in each other's eyes.

"There is also some seawater leaking in the sea area around Merlot Petersburg, which may be dangerous to you... Let me swim out to see what kind of damage it is."

"Okay, stay safe...don't come back."

"Don't worry~ As long as you are here, there is no way I won't come back."

It was indeed the best choice for Yu Shui to leave to check the damage to the route or investigate the cause of the loss of contact. After he left, Catpila arrived belatedly with Lenore.

Leosley told them the whole story.

"Is that so...those guys really used all kinds of means to destroy this execution site."

"Brother Carter...?"

"It's okay Lenore, let's go back first. There's something going on here, and we probably won't be able to leave for the time being."

Catpila gently wiped Lenore's head.

Although this road is temporarily unavailable, at least... the Duke of Merlot Petersburg has learned about her situation and is willing to help, and there is no need to worry about Lenore's identity in the future.

……

Swimming in the boundless sea and being surrounded by fine, warm water is a feeling I haven't felt in a long time.

But the moment Yu Shui returned to the water, he seemed to have regained the feeling of freedom he once had when moving in the water. He was indeed born to live in symbiosis with water.

Hmm~~ It’s been a long time coming. This feeling of being like a fish in water, but it’s a pity that it can’t be dissolved in water for the time being. Well... the seawater around Merlot Petersburg has indeed reached the concentration of seawater.

Yu Shui could easily smell the scent, but he didn't come here for that this time.

After finding the tunnel under the sea, Yu Shui entered the only passage between Irie Island and Merlo Petersburg from the sea... and it was actually submerged by the sea.

This is an underground tunnel...
