Fontaine Grand Stage, come if you are destined to

"Haha, Your Excellency the Duke, there's no need to make such a fuss. It's just a matter of discussing something. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"If I can, I will try my best to help His Excellency the Duke."

"You are too dangerous. I dare not be so careless in dealing with you."

Leosli stood in front of the girl. Although he looked like he had complete control of the situation, he was actually extremely wary of the girl.

"Please Miss Emily explain to me the murder that happened today."

"Didn't I already tell the guard at the time the details?"

"Didn't the guard report the situation to you, Your Excellency the Duke?"

Looking at the girl's extremely calm expression, Leosli felt a little angry.

"Miss Emily, you should know that this is not what I want to hear."

"And I advise you to think it over before you answer. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will be able to talk to you as calmly as I am now."

As she said this, an icy cold aura emanated from Leosli's body, and then a layer of green barrier faintly appeared on the girl's body, completely blocking out the cold air.

"From what His Excellency the Duke said, it seems that he thinks this matter has something to do with me?"

Leosli was amused by the girl's stupid look, and the depression in his heart during this period completely burst out. He raised his fist and was about to attack the girl. However, at this moment, there was some commotion downstairs, and soon a guard appeared in the stairwell.

"I didn't expect you were hers too."

Seeing this, Leosli became even more angry.

Considering that the girl was not so easy to deal with, he prepared to get rid of this small fry who had just appeared first and punched her directly.

After seeing this punch, the guard turned pale and spoke hurriedly.

"My Lord Duke, I am not!"

"I'm here to report something very important!"

In the end, Leosli's fist stopped just three inches away from the opponent. The cold wind and the fear in his heart made his body tremble, and he almost peed his pants on the spot.

"I'm not a traitor!"

"My Lord Duke, please believe me!"

"Didn't I tell you before that no matter what happens, you should wait outside?"

Leosli kept on punching and questioned him.

"But Your Excellency the Duke, this matter is extremely important!"

"You told me at the time that if there was any problem with the door below, I should come and inform you at any time!"

"Now I don't know who opened that place!"

"Because Your Excellency the Duke said that the place is a restricted area and no one else can enter, so I didn't dare to go in to check the situation."

After hearing the other party's words, Leosli's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he looked at the girl with an extremely terrifying look, and his aura surged again.

"I should have warned you before, Miss Emily."

"There are some things you should never touch!"

"It seems that Miss Emily didn't take my kind reminder seriously at all."

After hearing what Leosley said, the girl smiled softly.

"Your Excellency the Duke, this is not a good idea. I am innocent."

"And Your Excellency the Duke should have no evidence to prove that I did all these things, right?"

"It seems that Miss Emily doesn't know me very well yet."

After hearing what the girl said, Leosli walked towards the girl with a mocking smile.

"In Mellow Petersburg, my words are the rules!"

"So, I don't need any evidence for you either."

"It's not too late to tell me everything honestly, otherwise I can't guarantee that you can leave here standing today."

Hearing Leosley's threat, the girl just smiled at him.

"Your Excellency the Duke is truly overbearing."

"But this really suits your style."

"But is Your Excellency the Duke really not worried about the situation in the restricted area?"

"Or is His Excellency the Duke confident about that place?"

Leosli stopped and hesitated for a moment.

He originally thought that the fortifications of that place would not be so easy to break through without heavy weapons, but when the girl said this, he suddenly became worried again.

Finally, Leosli decided to go and take a look, but of course he wasn't going to let the girl go back.

"Now you just follow me and don't play any other tricks."

"Otherwise, the weapons in the mechanical guards' hands will immediately make countless holes in your body."

"Your Excellency the Duke, there are so many people here, and I am alone. I will definitely not do anything that will cause Your Excellency the Duke to misunderstand me."

After hearing what the girl said, Leosli felt very unhappy.

Obviously, he had the upper hand in the situation, but the initiative seemed to have been in the hands of the girl since the moment the incident in the restricted area.

He really should have taken action earlier. This woman is too troublesome.

Even though doing so would bring him a significant negative impact, it was still better than the current extremely passive situation.

Leosli waved his hand, and immediately two mechanical guards came forward and held the girl hostage. The girl did not resist at all, and even let the mechanical guards take away the Eye of the Wind Element God from her body.

Seeing that the girl no longer had the Eye of God, Leosli felt a little relieved, but he was still a little confused, as it seemed that capturing the girl was too easy.

Because the situation in the restricted area was urgent, Leosli didn't think much about it and immediately took the mechanical guard to the restricted area below the Duke's office.

When Leosli walked out of the lift and saw the intact door in front of him, he suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

The next second, Leosli's inner uneasiness was confirmed.

Nearly a hundred mechanical guards suddenly appeared on the originally empty ground. They turned off the camouflage projections on their bodies in unison, and some of the mechanical guards even cancelled their stealth mode.

These capabilities are what Leosley mentioned before, and are part of the recent weapon and equipment upgrades for the mechanical guards.

At the same time they appeared in front of Leosli, the various weapons on their bodies also locked onto Leosli.

"Miss Emily, tea please!"

When Leosli heard the noise, he looked back and saw the guard with a flattering expression on his face. He was holding a pot of black tea and poured it for the girl before handing it to her.

The mechanical guards who held her hostage stood respectfully on both sides of her, like two bodyguards doing their duty. At the same time, the Eye of the Wind Element God had returned to the girl at some point.

Feeling Leosley's gaze, the girl smiled at him and then asked.

"My Lord, would you like a cup of tea?"

"I remember that the Duke likes to drink tea very much, and it seems that he hasn't been drinking tea properly recently."

"I didn't expect you to be able to get involved in the mechanical guard business. It seems I underestimated you!"

Even Leosley couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw this scene.

The mechanical guard will not be able to recover past memories and will only act according to the set program.

The betrayal of the mechanical guard means that a traitor has appeared among the core persons in charge of this area.

And all of those people have silently devoted decades to Fontaine. Leosli really doesn't know who he can suspect?

Compared to this, even the fact that the guard was indeed a traitor was not enough to cause any fluctuations in Leosli's heart.

"It turns out that from the very beginning, I fell into the trap you set."

At this moment, Leosli finally understood why the girl had always remained calm and indifferent.

"There's nothing I can do. Who made His Excellency the Duke so aggressive?"

"In fact, I am more in favor of resolving the problem through peaceful communication."

"Your so-called peaceful solution means planting so many spies around me, or even adding salt to my tea?"

Leosli didn't believe a word the girl said.

Especially since the other party deprived him of his leisurely tea drinking time, this matter is absolutely unforgivable!

"fair enough."

Leosley suddenly laughed and then began to move his arms.

"At least this way I don't have to worry about the possibility of accidental injury. Everyone who appears here is my enemy!"

"The purge begins!"

Leosli was not going to waste any more words with the girl. Even though he had been targeted by countless weapons, he still attacked without hesitation.

Leosli punched the ground, and then an ice wall rose from the ground to block attacks from all directions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leosli rushed directly to the mechanical guard closest to him and began to dismantle it manually.

The unfavorable situation now aroused Leosli's inner fighting spirit even more, and he exerted a stronger fighting power than ever before.

However, even though Leosli had improved his strength a lot, he still had a hard time holding on in the face of the hordes of mechanical guards who had updated their weapons and equipment and were constantly replenished.

That’s right, mechanical guards are still being transported here in batches via lifts.

After seeing this scene, Leosli didn't dare to think too much and just put all his energy into the current battle.

Thinking about anything that is not related to the battle at this time will cause his condition to deteriorate significantly.

Although the number of mechanical guards was sufficient and their weapons were enough to pose a threat, Leosli's strength was obviously much stronger, and soon Leosli went crazy and killed them.

But even now, the girl still had no intention of joining the battle. Instead, after watching for a while, she left leisurely.

Leosli wanted to stop her, but he was soon attacked from all sides by mechanical guards. He could only deal with the situation and watch the girl leave.

The girl quickly returned to the dormitory, but she did not see Funina there.

The girl just stood there blankly for a while, then immediately went out and walked along the intricate pipes.

Not long after they walked, the girl heard a loud noise coming from the front, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"You are a murderer, why do you dare not admit it?!"

"What did my eldest brother do wrong to deserve to be killed so cruelly by you?"

"If you regard executing criminals as a means of entertainment, why not execute me as well!"

"No, no, I'm not the murderer!"

Compared with these questions and rebukes, Funina's defense seemed pale and powerless.

However, even so, the opponent refused to give up and continued to press forward.

"What are you still doing here?"

"Are you trying to destroy the evidence you left behind?"

"Can gods do whatever they want?"

"Can gods treat the lives of ordinary people like us so lightly?"

"Or do you think that the punishment that Melo Petersburg has given us is not enough to cleanse us of our crimes?"

"Then just do it. I have committed the same unforgivable sin as my elder brother. Just kill me too!"

Faced with the other party's questioning, Funina couldn't help but take a step back, then felt the strange gazes of the people around her, and forcibly restrained her desire to escape.

"I told you this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm here just to confirm the latest investigation results with the guards."

"You're already suspicious even though the results haven't come out yet. Can't you just wait until the truth comes out?"

"Is there any need to investigate this? We have all seen the photos of the crime scene. Apart from that Fatui [Executive], you are the only one who can perform a water elemental attack of that level."

"Such an obvious fact is right in front of you, and as a god you are unwilling to admit it?!"

After hearing the man's words, the onlookers nodded one after another. They all had similar ideas. Now in Melopene Petersburg, the only person who could cause that level of damage to the crime scene, besides Tartaglia, was the water goddess Furninna.

As they had never had a good impression of Funina, they did not believe her explanation at all.

Feeling the increasingly indifferent gazes around her, Funina felt extremely uncomfortable in her chest.
