Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

Get up, change clothes, wash up, go out, have breakfast...

Repeating almost the same routine every day, Link's days have been quite leisurely recently.

In three days, Fontaine’s annual Christmas Day is coming. At that time, every household will gather together, give each other gifts, enjoy a big meal, and put cups on the bedside to pray for blessings from the water god. holiday traditions.

Arecino, a native of Fontaine, is also preparing various Christmas arrangements for her Hearth House. But now, her three most proud and beloved children will spend this Christmas in prison.

Link slowly drank the milk in the glass, thinking about how he should spend this festive time.

Buy a chicken, cook it yourself and enjoy it? Or maybe find an interesting mystery novel and read it quietly all night?

Link tried his best to arrange something for himself, but he had to face the cruel fact that in this kind of family reunion festival, it is indeed an extremely miserable thing to spend the festival alone.

Dong dong dong~~

A dull knock on the door sounded outside the house. Link said "come in" and found that the person outside the house was actually the old man who was in charge of the warehouse he met before.

Logically speaking, a big shot like Link needs to make an appointment to meet with ordinary people. However, the Christmas holiday is approaching and everyone in the embassy has no intention to focus on work, so Link appropriately eases everyone's worries. Work burden, let it go freely, don't be that annoying capitalist.

"Old sir, why are you here?" Link was a little surprised to be honest. He stood up, invited old Scott to sit down, found a water glass from the cabinet, and was about to pour the old man a cup of warm tea to warm himself up. .

"Lin, Lord Link, I'm really sorry about what happened last time..." Old Scott quickly stopped Link from pouring water for himself, with many ravines carved by the years on his old face.

"It doesn't matter, people always make mistakes." Link shook his head, indicating that the old man didn't need to be so nervous and worried.

In the Morgan family's educational philosophy, the value between people is unequal, and the value of the elderly is at the lowest level.

They are slow-thinking, old and weak, unable to engage in precise calculations, and they are also unable to serve as a sufficient labor force. They are undoubtedly weak mentally and physically.

As for the weak, Link has always been very tolerant. After all, you can't ask someone who is much weaker than you to do the same thing as you.

"Lord Link... these, these are some dishes I made myself. If you don't mind, please accept them!" Old Scott breathed a sigh of relief, with a touched look on his old face. He came from behind I rummaged through the package and took out a glass bottle that looked a little mottled.

The glass bottle contained a brown viscous substance, with some shredded ginger and pork mixed in faintly.

"This is this?" Link took the glass jar curiously and sniffed it gently. He could smell a faint salty smell from it.

"When I was young, I went to Liyue and learned to make this from a local master. It is also a kind of sauce and can be eaten with rice and noodles." Old Scott bowed his waist in embarrassment, "I don't have anything good. I’ll compensate you... But my granddaughter likes to eat this very much, and she asks me to make new ones for her every time she finishes eating."

Zhi Dong's newly appointed diplomat is very particular about "eating" and likes all kinds of cuisine. This has long been known in various restaurants in Fontainebleau.

Don’t know which restaurant is delicious? Take a look at which restaurant Link often goes to and follow him, you're right. For this reason, the reporter from Steam Bird News even wanted to invite Link to do a special food evaluation program.

Link smiled. He actually received gifts on the Reunion Festival in a foreign land. This may mean that he is still a person with a personal touch in the eyes of the Fontaine people.

"Old sir, do you still have a granddaughter?"

"Yes!" When talking about his granddaughter, old Scott's face immediately showed a proud expression, and his originally gloomy eyes lit up. "My granddaughter is much better than this old man like me. She has been smart since she was a child. , learns everything quickly, and now she is a student of the Teaching Academy, studying abroad in Xumi. It's a pity... She is too busy with her studies, and rarely goes home. In the past few years, she has been busy during the Christmas holidays What kind of article should I write..."

"Haha, but she said now that she will definitely come back to accompany me, an old man."

"Then I wish you a happy family reunion." Link smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Lord Link. The old man won't bother you anymore! By the way, you can try this sauce. If you like it, the old man will bring it to you next time!"

"Of course you have to try the old gentleman's craftsmanship. Walk slowly and be careful not to fall."

"Don't worry, Lord Link, the old man's bones are still strong!"

After watching the old man leave, Link looked at the large bottle of miso on his desk and smiled helplessly. Why not just cook some noodles and mix them with this sauce for Christmas this year?

Suddenly thinking of something, Link pressed the calling bell on the table. Not long after, a beautiful-looking woman in uniform came to Link's office.

"Lord Link, what can I do for you?"

"Go and tell Danink over at the restaurant not to pursue the theft from the warehouse. It's not easy for the old man as he gets older. Let him spend the holidays in peace."

"Okay." The woman nodded, "Also, Master Link, there is one more thing. Miss Navia from the Rose of Thorns Society invites you to go to the Gray River Underground Area and wants you to see "things". Some results.”

Link was slightly startled. The Gray River underground area is notoriously crude. It is a gray area under the prosperity of Fontaine, and it is also a cold and damp sewer. But it is said... that the stronghold of the Rose of Thorns Society is there.

"Tell her I will go, and prepare some gifts that the children will like for me. I will bring them with me when I arrive."

"Okay." The woman nodded and withdrew respectfully.

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

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

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

With a follower to help carry things, Link went down the entrance of the Gray River and arrived at the so-called "sewer area".

Link quietly looked at everything around him.

The Gray River District is located underground in the Fontainebleau. At first glance, the space seems quite spacious, but there are crisscrossing pipes everywhere, and the actual area where you can move is actually very small. The cold space, the weak lights, the dilapidated houses, and the unpleasant smell of rust in the air...

Everything is in sharp contrast to the prosperity on earth, one is heaven and the other is hell.

The residents of Gray River District are the outcasts of Fontainebleau in "City Beautification". They often make a living by doing some people-pleasing crafts and engaging in extremely low-paying jobs.

If the entire Fontainebleau is like a bright and burning spark, then these residents in the Gray River District are undoubtedly the firewood under that spark.

They can only huddle in this dark corner all their lives, silently contributing their short and meaningless life to the upper class people of Fontaine.

But there are cracks in this darkness, and that's where the light comes in.

In the square-like open space in the center of Gray River District, there is a carefully decorated Christmas tree, with many beautiful blue streamers hanging on it, and strings of colorful small lights, flashing in this gray world. It exudes a faint glow and looks particularly warm. There are already piles of exquisitely wrapped packages under the tree. Each package is different. They should be gifts specially prepared by someone for Christmas.

There were many children surrounding the tree, eagerly staring at the gifts under the tree, while a girl in a yellow dress was sitting among the children with a smile, accompanying these naturally unfortunate people to do some simple and childish things. game.

The girl's gentle and bright smile formed a sharp contrast with the decadent scene in the Gray River District. However, this contrast did not appear abrupt, but was exceptionally harmonious.

It emerges from the mud but is not stained, washes clear ripples without being evil, is straight in the middle and straight outside, does not creep or branch, the fragrance is far away and clear, and the pavilions are pure.

The white and white Clivia always grows in the mire of the dark tide. Perhaps only in this place closest to the bottom of the world can such a gentle but powerful girl emerge.

She was like an angel descending to earth, flawless and radiant, illuminating so many hypocrisies and nastiness.

Link was startled for a moment, then quickly lowered his head like a frightened mouse.

There was fear and cowardice in his purple eyes. Even when facing the supreme judge, Villette, Link had never shown such a humble expression.

Link hates gentle and kind girls, so much that he is almost afraid of them. When he is with them, Link will even feel a sense of torture, as if he is lying on a torture bed and being beaten with broken glass. Cutting the soles of the feet.

They are so bright and dazzling, they are the messengers of justice and the nemesis of evil...

The light on their bodies stung the darkness in Link's heart.

(∠( ? 　∠)＿Now I am really planning to write a single female protagonist, which is also a challenge to myself. In addition, the protagonist’s name is actually a homophone of "zero krypton"...)
