Explorer of Teyvat

"Destiny is always magical. Whether it is encounter or entanglement, it will affect people's emotions."

Looking at Wang Daoyi in front of her, Nasida comforted her softly.

Two days ago, after Wang Daoyi sent Hilda's relics home, he came to Jingshan Palace and has been checking the changes caused by time travel in the World Tree.

And Naxida seemed to notice Wang Daoyi's uneasiness and kept comforting him.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Daoyi withdrew his gaze from the World Tree and looked at Nasida beside him: "No, Nasida, I didn't put too much emotion into it, I just felt the other person's feelings."

Demon Gods are not heartless beings. On the contrary, Demon Gods are more sensitive to human emotions than humans themselves.

It is this kind of spiritual awareness that allows demon gods to get involved in human conflicts.

In the story of Wang Daoyi and Hilda,

Wang Daoyi had never been moved, he just regarded Hilda as an ordinary friend who happened to meet her.

But Hilda's response to him was somewhat beyond his expectation.

She put her feelings into amber and sealed them for more than 2,300 years, until the last blood descendant of the Hilda family disappeared.

And this feeling was conveyed to Wang Daoyi five hundred years after the disaster in Kanria.

This heavy feeling made Wang Daoyi, who was regarded as a god, break his guard.

One of his random actions caused a girl to suffer for a lifetime.

When he thinks about it now, he wants to slap himself. He is so fucking inhuman.

If he could have made things clear at the beginning, wouldn't Hilda have suffered for the rest of her life?

With such regret, Wang Daoyi checked over and over again the chaos caused by his time travel.

He worried that he had also affected the fate of more people.

"This sudden heavy emotion is a bit unbearable for me." Wang Daoyi's smile was a little bitter.

"Maybe I shouldn't have told you those things." Nasida blamed herself.

"No, if I didn't know this, maybe I wouldn't feel uncomfortable, but it would be too unfair to others, so I would rather know this, and I don't want others to bear such emotions alone."

Wang Daoyi shook his head,

He did not blame Nacida for giving him the piece of amber.

"Okay, then have you found the anomaly?" Seeing that Wang Dao's deep emotion had disappeared when he spoke, Nasida changed the subject.

"I found two places." Wang Daoyi nodded slightly.

After two days of investigation, he really found the anomaly caused by him.

"Where?" Nasida asked curiously.

Wang Daoyi's eyes fluctuated: "Fengdan."

…

after one day,

Fontaine Northland Bank.

"What do you know about Merlot Petersburg?"

In the secret room of Northland Bank,

Wang Daoyi and Arecino sat looking at each other, and the only sound in the room was their breathing.

Faced with Wang Daoyi's inquiry, Arecino immediately replied: "The history of Merlot Petersburg is very long and can be traced back to the era of the previous Water God. I only know that it was built under the order of the previous Water God. As for more information ,I do not know."

"If you send people into Merlot Petersburg, won't there be other gains?" Wang Dao glanced at her.

Arecino's expression remained unchanged, and she acted very calmly about the fact that the Lord of Red Sand knew that she had sent people into Merlot Petersburg.

She knew that her actions could not be hidden from anyone who was interested, not to mention that this person was a god.

"Linni and the others have entered Merlot Petersburg, but no news has been released yet. It is already very difficult to send people in. If you want to convey the news... you may be underestimating the 'Duke'."

[Duke] Leosley, the real controller of Merlot Petersburg.

Theoretically speaking, Merlo-Petersburg is independent of the Fontaine justice system.

You can even disobey Funina’s orders.

Only the Duke is the only master.

As for this [Duke], even Arecino found it difficult to deal with.

After all, [Duke] seems to be the title of a nobleman, and he is also the controller of Merlot Petersburg.

But in fact, [Duke] is a prisoner.

As a prisoner, [Duke] is not a simple good person. He is not white or black, he is gray.

Compared with other opponents that the Fools have encountered, [Duke] is not only powerful, but also has no 'bottom line', making it difficult for people to grasp his weaknesses.

"What about the news about Dadalia? Are you just watching Dadalia disappear?" Wang Daoyi showed a sneer.

He had left a hint of back-up on Dadalia before.

But after returning to Fontaine this time, I found that Dadalia's aura had completely disappeared.

It was as if Dadalia had left Fontaine.

But the news he got was that Dadalia disappeared in Merlo Petersburg.

"I have put pressure on the Momang Palace, but Navilette ignored the condemnation of the fools. I think he may not know where Dadalia went, so he asked the travelers to investigate."

As he said that, a sneer appeared on Arecino's face.

"Merlot Petersburg is independent of Fontaine's judicial system. Even Navilette, the highest judge, cannot make the [Duke] give in. Within the prisoner's sentence, the [Duke] has absolute control, and Unfortunately, Dadalia is currently serving his sentence."

Arecino was clearly speechless about Fontaine's judicial system.

Because of this separation system, the pressure tactics that have tried so many fools are useless.

No matter how much diplomatic pressure she exerts on Navilette and Fonina,

When it comes to the crucial Merlot Petersburg, these pressures are like nothing, and the [Duke] will not take a second look.

"So, only when Dardalia's theoretical sentence is over and the Duke must release him, can we put pressure on the Duke and let him support our investigation."

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "It must be too late. Dadalia's crime can't even be explained clearly. You won't be able to wait until the end of the sentence."

Wang Daoyi knew that Dadalia was guilty, and it was probably Fukalos who directly pronounced the verdict.

It must be that Dadalia has something to do with the doomsday prophecy, and it's probably the inexplicable calling from Dadalia.

If Arecino had to wait for Dadalia's sentence to end, he might have to wait for the Fontaine prophecy to end.

"Forget it, help me prepare an identity. I want to go and see for myself."

Among the two time travel anomalies that Wang Daoyi checked in the World Tree, one of them was in Merlo Petersburg.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi still had to go to this place of prisoners.

"You want to go there in person?"

Arecino's voice was a little surprised,

She didn't know that Wang Daoyi chose to take action personally because of the time anomaly.

I thought the Lord of Red Sand was also curious about the secret of Merlo Petersburg.

"Can it be arranged?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Arecino nodded: "Of course, it's easy. However, with your status, if you want to enter Merlot Petersburg, you can go in directly, right?"

As long as the Lord of Red Sand proposes an official visit and wants to see Merlot Petersburg, it is impossible for Fontaine to refuse.

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "It's just a small matter, there is no need to use the identity of a god."

Fontaine has been very interested in the news about the Lord of Red Sand recently. If he visits officially, many things will be difficult to do.

Then Villette would probably directly send a press team to follow him to visit Merlot Petersburg.

Moreover, [Duke] Leosley must be informed of the official visit.

In this way, maybe some things will be hidden.

"Okay, I understand. The new identity will be delivered to you in the afternoon at the latest." Arecino nodded, indicating that he understood.

"That's good."

…

The efficiency of fools is always online,

That afternoon, an ordinary identity was sent to Wang Daoyi.

That evening, ordinary identity was sentenced to three months for theft.

That night, Wang Daoyi appeared at the registration office in Merlot Petersburg.

"Here, take a picture from the side." The registration officer held a camera in his hand and shouted to Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi followed Shan Ruliu and stood by the wall, turning slightly sideways.

"Click"

The photo machine beeped and a photo came out.

In the photo, an ordinary human face is particularly clear.

"Okay, the registration has been completed, and someone will take you down next."

The registration clerk nodded to Wang Dao, indicating that he could move forward.

Wang Daoyi followed the registration officer's hand and looked over. In the passage not far away, there were two figures waiting, who seemed to be the receptionists.

As we walked over, the light became a little brighter.

"Ying, if you complete this escort mission, we will have a special ticket to have a feast."

Pamon rubbed his hands together expectantly.

Yingye nodded slightly: "I didn't expect that we could get the task of recruiting new people."

In Merlo-Petersburg, charters are everything,

Ying and Paimon have been here for a long time in order to investigate Dadalia's affairs.

They have adapted to life here and spend almost half of their day earning concession coupons.

The remaining half of the time was spent investigating Dadalia's disappearance.

"Hello, you two are here to pick me up." The ordinary Fontaine criminal Wang Daoyi, who had changed his appearance, waved to Ying and Paimon.

He had no intention of recognizing her.

"Hello, I am Paimon, and this is Ying. We have accepted the mission to take you down." Paimon also waved to Wang Daoyi, an ordinary Fontaine criminal.

"Haha, thank you very much." Wang Daoyi smiled and thanked.

"You're welcome, we are paid for what we do." Ying said,

The rules of Merlot Petersburg are that you are paid for your work, and your reward is a charter.

Wang Dao nodded and followed Ying and Paimon forward.

"We will first take you to familiarize yourself with the concession canteen. You will eat here from now on, and then we will take you to the assigned dormitory. As for work, there will be guards to arrange it for you tomorrow. You will need a concession to do anything here..."

Paimon led the way while explaining the rules here to the ordinary criminals behind him.

After taking the others to get familiar with everything here,

After receiving a free meal from the concession canteen and taking him to the prison cell,

Pai Mengcai said earnestly to the criminal Wang Daoyi beside him: "Although I don't know what crime you came here for, it is a whole new world here. As long as you work hard, you can live a good life. Don't make any mistakes again." Yes, the Duke will be watching you."

Wang Daoyi suppressed his laughter and nodded vigorously: "Okay, thank you very much."

Yingye nodded and waved: "Then we'll leave first. Goodbye."

She took Paimon and left, leaving Wang Dao alone in the assigned cell.

Put the free food in your hand on the metal table aside,

Wang Daoyi closed his eyes and looked like he was resting.

"Following Ying around, we can see Dadalia's scent almost everywhere. It seems that he did disappear here.

The abnormal point sensed in the World Tree seems to be in the Duke's office, and cannot be acted upon rashly.

In addition, according to the observation just now, although there is no sun here, there is still a difference between day and night. Guards will patrol every night, and prisoners must return to the prison cells to rest.

And my prison cell..."

Wang Dao opened his eyes and glanced around.

"There are three beds with covers. This should be a four-person room. No, it's too troublesome. I can't live here."

Considering that what I want to do must not be seen by ordinary people,

Therefore, with a thought, Wang Dao walked to the metal box on the side and blocked the monitoring device at the door of the prison cell.

The light was slightly distorted, and as soon as Wang Dao disappeared, he became invisible.

Time passes little by little,

Someone's voice came from the door,

Three men in work clothes came in from outside.

"Hey, why is there a piece of food here?" Someone discovered the free food that Wang Daoyi casually placed on the metal table.

"Maybe someone put it there to see if it can still be eaten. I happen to be hungry." Someone answered.

The three people opened the food box, checked it briefly, and then divided the food among themselves.

What they didn't know was that a man was standing in a dark corner, watching them finish the food.

"The prisoners will return to the prison cell around ten o'clock in the evening, so the best time for me to take action is after ten o'clock."

After calculating the time for the prisoner to return, Wang Daoyi came up with the best time to take action.

"gone."

After understanding the time, Wang Dao left the prison cell without looking back.

One of the prisoners who was close to the cell door scratched his head: "Why do I feel a gust of wind?"

"What's the wind like? Eat and go to bed early. There's a competition in the ring tomorrow. Go there early to get a good seat."

"Oh, I bet on the big guy this time, he will definitely win."

"Shit, No. 2 is more flexible, I'll bet on No. 2."

There was a quarrel in the prison cell for a while, and then it quickly became quiet, with only the sound of grunting.

The prisoner, who had worked all day, fell into a deep sleep.

…

Walking invisibly on the metal floors of Merlot Petersburg,

Wang Daoyi approached [Duke] Leosley's office,

The Duke's office is located in the center of Merlot Petersburg, and is guarded by guards on all sides. It looks quite tight.

However, Merlot Petersburg is very free, and anyone can enter and leave the Duke's office.

As long as you have something, you can even go to the Duke directly to solve it.

It is this kind of freedom that forms the unique humanistic environment of Merlot Petersburg today.

"Huh? There are also experts?"

Just as Wang Daoyi was about to enter the Duke's office, he heard a rustling sound behind him.

It seemed that besides him, there were others traveling at night.

With a thought in his mind, Wang Daoyi stopped his movements and stood aside to watch.

Soon, a figure with strong skills appeared in Wang Daoyi's sight.

Compared with Wang Dao's invisibility method that directly distorts light,

His props are obviously more refined and technically sophisticated,

The figure appears in the shadows in the corner, covering itself with magic props like cloth from time to time.

He quickly bypassed the guards and approached the Duke's office.

During the interval when the guards were patrolling, he stretched out his hand and lightly swiped at the office door.

A gap appeared in the door, and the figure ducked in.

Wang Daoyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and it took no effort to get there, and he followed in with a movement of his body.

Out of the guard's sight, the other party relaxed a little.

The magic cloth on his body was taken off, revealing his true appearance.

It's Linney the Magician.

"The Duke must know something about the disappearance of the young master. I hope he can find useful clues this time."

Linni sighed slightly. He had been here for so long and had done a lot of things, but he had not gained much.

That's why he took the risk and ventured into the Duke's office.

Behind him, Wang Daoyi nodded in admiration. I sighed slightly in my heart: "As expected of a senior member of the Fools, the son of a servant, his skills as a spy are simply amazing."

Sighing, Wang Dao glanced at the corner of the room,

"It's a pity, how could a mouse hide it from a cat?"

He sensed other life breaths in the corner of the room.

That is to say,

Besides him and Linny, there was someone else in the room.

However, Linney did not notice this,

He carefully flipped through everything in the Duke's office and bookshelves.

Then he carefully restored the things.

Wang Daoyi looked at his movements, which were very neat, and it was almost impossible to tell that the things here had been turned over.

The training given by Foolish People is indeed very powerful.

"Damn it, how come there isn't? Could it be that Leosley really doesn't know about the young master?"

As he kept searching, Linnie began to move a little more urgently.

"No, no, the young master is an important person. If such a person disappears, the biggest information is that there is no information about the Duke."

The movement of Linni's hand suddenly stopped.

"Leosli must know something, damn it."

After looking at the office where there was no information, Linni's face turned dark.

Then he gritted his teeth, put on the magic cloth again, turned into a flexible snitch, and slipped out of the Duke's office.

Wang Daoyi was still standing at the door, looking at the corner of the office where there was still life.

Time passes little by little,

ten minutes later,

The ground in the office suddenly shook.

A secret door was opened,

Heavy footsteps sounded,

A figure came up from the ground.

"Haha, I can't help it so quickly. It seems that people who are fools are nothing more than this."

[Duke] Leosley.

He didn't leave at all, he was always here.

All Linnie's little moves were caught by him.
