Paimon looked at the interior design of Merlot Petersburg, and it was completely different from what he had imagined.

The man in overalls reminded: "Don't think that this place is too good, and don't think that it's too bad. Take a good look at the scenery here, you won't be able to see it in a while. After bidding farewell to the sun for too long, even the frightening The deep sea is friendly, and I no longer feel depressed.”

"Oh, I'm actually a prisoner like you. Greeting new prisoners is a part-time job I took on to earn some concessions."

Kong took the opportunity to ask the man if he had ever seen Solstice's executive officer, the orange-haired Solstice who looked like a duck.

But the man didn't answer their questions, turned around and left. This is another price.

Kong shook his head and pulled Paimon to follow him. After walking for a while, he finally entered Merlot Petersburg.

The people inside looked sad, except for Sora and Paimon.

Sora joked: "You should be the only one who doesn't fit in. Think about the sad things quickly."

Paimon rubbed his chin and muttered: "Think about it, we are now in someone else's territory, we must find a way to play the role of a good prisoner. If exposed, won't even Villette be able to save us?"

While the two were chatting, the man in overalls came over and asked curiously: "Um...I don't know you very well, and I don't know what crimes you have committed, but...did you cause something that shouldn't be messed with?" People, right?"

Paimon thought for a while, it seemed like he didn't offend anyone he shouldn't, right?

The man in overalls didn't explain much. He pointed tremblingly at something, as if he saw something terrifying, and left in despair.

Paimon turned around and saw a large number of security agencies coming towards them. Sora picked up his weapon and prepared for the battle.

"Prisoners No. 7459 and 7560, welcome. Don't be so nervous. These guard machines are not here to rival you. They are shouldering the responsibility of [Guard of Honor]. I heard that you are friends of Mr. Navilette, so I allowed these Guys come here to wait in line,” explained a man with pierced ears.

Paimon was a little curious, the guy in front of him actually knew about his relationship with Villette.

"The bottom of the sea may not be as information-blocked as you think, but unfortunately, that's all I know. And you see, it's fair that the friends of the big shots have to come here if they commit crimes."

Sora looked at the man in front of him and immediately guessed his identity. He was Tails... Bah, [Duke] Leosley.

"Traveler and Paimon, right? Mr. Deacon is responsible for receiving you. Is the process satisfactory?"

Kong said truthfully: "It's just so-so. His attitude is not that good."

Leosley said with a hint of regret: "So that's the case. Then I have to announce with regret that just now, Mr. Deacon missed the best promotion opportunity in his prisoner career."

Deacon looked at Kong, but he didn't expect that they were actually important people who could talk to the Duke, and they kept apologizing.

[Kaia: As expected of a traveler, he avenged his grudges on the spot]

[Keqing: Traveler, is this really the case? 】

[Ying: No, I didn’t expose him. In order to repay us, he also gave us some concession coupons. If he had known about it, he would have exposed it. Later, he gave him sweet dates. This way he was angry and took away his things.]

[Kaia: Still as arrogant as ever! 】

[Paimon: But I still like his unruly look before]

[Ying: Generally speaking, he didn’t do anything outrageous. There’s no need to say that, so there is a certain discrepancy between the video and reality]

[Leosli: Well... there is still some, after all, you are the hero of Fontaine]

[Ying: Lucky, just lucky]

...

"You two, please come with me. As a welcome, I will take you around Merlo Petersburg first so that you can better integrate here."

Paimon looked at Leosley's very enthusiastic look and didn't know what he was thinking. He could only hope that he really didn't know so much.

Sora and Paimon followed Leosley with a cautious look on their faces. As they walked, Leosley stopped at the door of the cafeteria. Looking at their appearance, he couldn't help but remind them: "You don't have to be so reserved. The prisoner is just It is a kind of identity, and being a prisoner in Merlot Petersburg is just one of many ways of survival."

Paimon asked curiously: "As the manager here, do you actually think so? We...we have made mistakes before! What if it is difficult to deal with?"

Leosley said with an indifferent expression: "Perhaps you can create a new world in this underwater world. But before you prepare to show off your talents, please remember that in Merlo Petersburg, the most important thing is not to find trouble for yourself. It’s troublesome, but it’s best not to cause trouble to the guards.”

"And here is a place that is extremely important for survival - the concession canteen. Every day, you can come here to receive a welfare meal."

When Paimon heard about the food, he became energetic and asked Leosley, are all welfare meals free of charge? "

Leosley nodded and explained: "Prisoners are the basis for the operation of Merlot Petersburg, and they need at least basic survival guarantees."

[Ningguang: Welfare meal? There is no such thing as a free lunch]

[Kaia: Free things are often the most expensive]

[Leosli: This was not the case before. If we followed the previous rules, if you wanted to get a glass of water in Merlo Petersburg, you would have to use a concession coupon. After I took over, we had welfare meals]

[Paimon: That’s right, even a lazy guy who idles around all day without touching a gear can still have something to eat every day and won’t starve to death]

[Leosli: In Merlot Petersburg, charter coupons are money, and everything must be bought with money. In a sense, it is considered trade. 】

[Leosli: So rather than saying that Melo Petersburg treats everyone to dinner every day, it is better to say that the living conditions in Merlo Petersburg have become better because of everyone’s hard work]

[Wendy: Why are you all looking at me? I’m not idle. Are you going to send me in? 】

[Hutao: I’m reporting this guy. He comes to my house every day to see Zhongli. When he’s not around, the bill will be charged to me. Please take him back as soon as possible]

[Zhongli: In terms of universal rationality, we didn’t spend much]

[Wendy: In terms of universal rationality, there is no mora among the gods]

[Nasida: I remember that I put a box on the Jingshan Palace before, but unfortunately I don’t know who took it away later]

[Ying: .... Haha, it turns out to be Nasida's box. It's a professional habit, I'm sorry. But don’t worry, I’ll take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation]

[Elhaysen: The Order’s annual expenditure on purchasing materials is in the hundreds of millions]

[Ying: What does the expenses of your teaching academy have to do with me? I'm in charge of Nasida's part! 】

[Nacida: There aren’t many molas, forget it]

[Yae Shenzi: So, you also took away the treasure box on the castle tower? 】

[Paimon: Isn’t this what you asked us to take? He also said that this is Ying's private money, let us take it away, and then you can see Ying's anxious look]

[Shadow: Alas, Son of God. Either try my new dishes, or go for a swim in Wuxiangren Gorge]

[Miko Yae: It’s very troublesome to take care of my hair, and you don’t want to watch your family members being spied on, right? 】

[Ying: No normal person would do such a thing, okay? 】

...

Immediately afterwards, the two followed Leosley to the boxing arena.

The Fist Arena is as its name suggests. There are always prisoners with excessive energy, and daily tasks are not enough to consume their passion. In order to prevent them from consuming each other, they are still allowed to use the venue, which is called the Young Master Happy House.

Paimon suddenly became interested and asked Sora if he had this intention.

Leosley reminded Sora that if he misses and seriously injures or kills his opponent, his sentence will be extended.

Then they came to the prison area, where the prisoners slept at night.

In Merlot Petersburg, the main daily activity areas for prisoners are in the production area and the dormitory area.

Paimon asked curiously: "What is the production area... for? Do we need to work there?"

Leosley crossed his arms and explained: "Working in the production area is the most stable way to obtain concession coupons. If you have other abilities, you can also skip work. Merlo Petersburg can continue to operate under autonomy. It shows that most people are still willing to work honestly to obtain a stable income.”

"As for what to produce - many of the clockwork machines you see in Fontaine come from here. Therefore, in addition to being a gathering place for prisoners to serve their sentences, Merlot Petersburg is also a huge machinery factory. The specific production process I won’t go into details. Let’s go to the production area to actually work tomorrow and experience it for yourself.”

[Alice: It sounds a bit like an electronics factory. All they do is assembly line work. But are there people cutting corners over there? I bought some parts last time and they broke after just a few days of use.]

[Ying: Got it, you can’t buy their parts in the future! 】

[Ningguang: Is this the modern machinery that Ms. Alice mentioned? Sure enough, Liyue still has some shortcomings]

[Keqing: I remember that there is an academy of science in Fontaine. We can send some professionals there to study]

[Ying: I have a slogan for you: If you want to succeed, you must first go crazy and rush for money at all costs. If you fight once, you will be rich for three generations. Only by working hard can you not fail. Sleep on the floor today, be the boss tomorrow! 】

[Paimon: Work begins! 】

[Ningguang: Where did you learn this? It feels so strange]

[Alice: It smells like a pyramid scheme. Are there any pyramid schemes in Teyvat now? 】

[Keli: Keli doesn’t know! 】

...

Just as a few people were walking around, Sora saw a familiar figure, it was Linny!

Linny also noticed them and immediately greeted them: "I was really surprised, Your Majesty the Duke. I didn't expect you to show up here. I thought I was hallucinating because of too much work."

Leosley gave a few simple words of comfort, but Kong didn't seem to be in particularly good condition and asked tentatively: "What's wrong?"

Paimeng shook his little hand and explained: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about whether tomorrow will be very hard, haha..."

Then the three of them came to the infirmary.

A loli with ears and wearing a nurse uniform appeared in front of her.

Of note are the jade feet she is shaking.

"Duke? I didn't expect you to come to the infirmary at this time. Oh, you shouldn't be injured, right?"

[Nilu: Wow, so cute! 】

[Keqing: Ahem, it’s really cute]

[Kaia: Why does this little girl look like Kelly? It’s probably not my misunderstanding, right?]

[Keli: She, like Keli, has red glasses! 】

[Paimon: Huh? Don’t you know Higwen? 】

[Hu Tao: She is a bit like Yaoyao, and her voice work is very similar]

[Albedo: We didn’t go into Merlot Petersburg, so we didn’t see it]

[Ying: Her name is Xigwen, and she is also a beautiful deer]

[Keqing: Is she Meilu Xin? Doesn’t Meluxin have human fingers? 】

[Paimon: You can think of it as a special Meluxin, and she also has the eye of the water element]

[Meilu Xin: Uncle Abedo, Aunt Keli]

[Paimon: The master of the young master is the same generation as Albedo, which means that the young master should call him Keli and his aunt? No, it’s such a messy relationship]

[Master: What? Why am I one generation below Keli? 】

[Ying: Ahem, let me do some popular science. Albedo’s mother is Reindot, and the alien brothers Dulin, Erinas, the Hunting Hound, and Meluxin were born from the body of Erinas]

[Ying: Reindot’s friends are Alice and members of the Witches’ Association, Keli is Alice’s daughter, Witch B’s apprentice is Mona, and Silk’s master, the Evil Rider, should also know Alice, so They are all peers, Keli should call Si Keke sister]

[Ying: Young Master is Si Keke’s apprentice, and is the same generation as Albedo’s apprentice Sutang, so based on the above, Keli’s seniority is indeed higher than Young Master’s]

[Zhongli: In terms of universal rationality, this is indeed the case]

[Master: Auntie, my nephew will take you to fry fish, hahaha]

[Kelly: Okay, uh...what should Keli shout? 】

[Paimon: Big nephew! 】

[Keli: Nephew, let’s go fish fry! 】

[Charlotte: "Shocked!" The biggest connected person in Teyvat is actually Keli! She is actually the aunt of the Young Master, the executive officer of the Fools! 》, that’s not right, then the young master also has a great background, why is he the last one? 】

[Ying: He is waiting for me to kill all the executives except him. According to my estimation, his current strength should fluctuate around the 5th seat]

[Ms.: Dadalia, you still said you were not a traitor! 】

[Master: Shut up, madam, don’t make me beat you! 】

[Mona: No matter how strong Keli’s background is, it will be of no use to Qin and she should be in solitary confinement]

[Keli: Captain Qin has not locked Keli in confinement for a long time]

[Ying: Why did I hear it? Captain Qin didn’t hit me for three days]

[Ke Lai: I’m a little dizzy after hearing this. Can’t you summarize it simply? I obviously know all those words, so why don’t I recognize them after they are connected?]

[Tinari: Alas, I still need to study harder]
