Chapter 566 "Ikaros"
"Huh?! What do you mean... He doesn't know what happened? Didn't he take it away? Why wouldn't he know?"
Paimon looked at Arlecino in surprise, as if he found it difficult to understand her contradictory words.
"According to what he said, Lenore should have been sent back to the light punishment area shortly after he was taken away, and he could have logically used the excuse that the regent had arrested the wrong person to ask for a reduced sentence."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this incident should be a drama he staged himself in order to reduce his sentence, rather than a missing person case."
"But... now something unexpected has happened."
Alechino gently took off the white gloves that were stained with a little scarlet, and moved her wrists before continuing:
"For some reason, his people didn't do the required things within the required time, which means...his plan went wrong."
"That's it..."
Chang Ming touched his chin thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.
"Did he tell us where he put Lenore before? We can continue investigating based on this clue."
After being silent for a long time, Funina suddenly asked.
Hearing this unexpected voice, Alechino looked at Fernina approvingly, and then replied softly:
"In the Central Penal District, in order to get the information about Sal being taken away as soon as possible, and to send Lenore back as soon as possible, they chose a pipeline in that place."
"The specific location is in a pipeline in the southeast direction of the entire area. You can go there and take a look."
Having said that, Alechino paused for a moment, and then said a piece of information that was enough to change Ying and Chang Ming's plans.
"By the way, Sal did tell her the whereabouts of Lenore's mother. Now the situation... may become more complicated."
"?!"
Ying's eyes widened slightly, and then she held her forehead with her hand as if she had a headache. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
These nobles...they never do anything to add icing on the cake, but instead make simple things become more and more complicated.
I originally wanted to reduce my sentence in this way, but now, unexpected situations have occurred. Not only can I not get a reduction in my sentence, I may have to accept more punishment.
Not only that, they also completely disrupted other people's plans, which was completely a matter of harming others and not benefiting themselves.
Chang Ming sighed helplessly, then waved his hand gently.
"Thank you Ms. Arlecchino for your willingness to help. We will deal with this matter later, but... not now."
"If you need help searching later, just let me know. I'll ask the children from Hearth House to help you find it."
Alechino nodded slightly, then quickly left Melo Petersburg.
For her...this was just a small part of a transaction. Since the agreed goal had been achieved, it had nothing to do with her.
Looking at Alechino's gradually receding back, Paimon was at a loss for a moment.
"What should we do now? If Lenore is still inside the Melo Petersburg, it's fine. But if she runs directly to the ground, wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"And there are some monsters wandering around on the ground. If they catch us—ouch!"
Paimon let out an indescribable howl, as if... something had suddenly grabbed his neck.
Ying had already gotten used to the strange noises that Paimon would make from time to time. She shook her head gently, then gave Chang Ming a look and quickly walked towards the central prison area.
Instead of thinking about so many irrelevant things here, it is better to start solving the problem early.
And Fu Nina looked at Chang Ming with some worry, and then said softly:
"Chang Ming, will this situation have a particularly big impact on your plans...?"
"No, it was within my expectations."
Chang Ming nodded without surprise. He had expected these twists and turns from the beginning. This was inevitable.
"Instead of thinking about so many things here, why not go out and solve the problem now."
As he said this, he gently squeezed Funina's little hand, as if he wanted to make her feel at ease in this way.
"Let's go and look for Lenore. The best case scenario is that she left Melo Petersburg by chance and realized the difference in the world above water."
"What's the worst?"
"The worst... I don't know."
Chang Ming shook his head slightly, then quickened his pace towards the central prison area.
......
Abyss, a word that can terrify the creatures on the continent of Teyvat.
It is cold, terrifying, and even wants to destroy everything that may exist. It stands completely on the opposite side of this world.
In the hands of most people, it is the source of disaster that wreaks havoc on the world, but in the hands of those few...it is a tool that can save the world.
There is never absolute right or wrong in this world, whether it is Sky Island or the Abyss.
And in a corner of the endless abyss, an old figure was looking at the crystal ball in front of him with great interest, and the picture in the crystal ball... was Chang Ming's figure.
"Hahahaha, let me see...who's turn is next?"
"I have mastered the power of Surtloch, the Evil Knight, but I am still a little short of it. The inheritance of Gold is also being tested... There are even people who can see into fate and are watching you..."
"Who's next? Ah~ "Moon Hunter" Lelier... An absolutely destructive force. The power of the "Sage" is still missing... I don't know what that old guy is thinking..."
The old voice echoed in the extreme darkness, as if it was telling a fact, or as if it was lamenting something.
"To break the false sky, both the Nibelungen and us... have such a wish."
"If the current Teyvat is compared to an egg, then what breaks from the eggshell is life, and what breaks from the outside of the eggshell is death... This is the inevitable outcome."
"Ikaros, He is destined to break through the boundaries, reach the top of this world, and then... create a brand new life."
"The first chick is stained with black flames. If it is not stopped, disaster will spread across the land."
"And this second bird has inherited the will of its predecessor. It will become the god foretold in myths and prophecies, and will become the true..."
"Ikaros."
