Chapter 743 Medical Room: Xu Ning Prohibited from Entering
Leosley's statement immediately made Paimon lose interest; if a food description only emphasizes nutrition, how unpalatable must it be?
"Who came up with the idea of concessions? And what's the point of building a second monetary system in a place like this?"
Xu Ning thought for a moment, then asked the question anyway.
Leosley scratched his head. "Ah, speaking of which, it seems to have some connection with your Liyue."
"I haven't been here long, but it seems that this kind of license has been around in Mero Petersburg for four hundred years. It is said that a Liyue person designed a management model to help the administrators at the time, and the result was remarkable."
"Oh? How significant is it?" Xu Ning immediately became interested.
It's important to know that even in Liyue, criminals with different crimes and punishments are held in several different locations.
But in Fontainebleau, nothing is distinguished; everything is thrown into this Melló Petersburg and left to its own devices, as if it doesn't even care if a local tyrant is raised here.
"How so? Let me think... Well, in this place, the license itself becomes the symbol of everything. Here, whatever you want, you can get it as long as you have the license. But if you don't have the license, you can't even get a slightly cleaner glass of water easily."
"All legal systems, rules, and human ethics collapsed overnight, leaving only one rule—whoever controls the concession has the power to make the rules, and the administrators at the time undoubtedly became the biggest rentiers, the power holders who made, controlled, and enjoyed all the rules."
Hearing this, Xu Ning raised his hand and asked with some confusion, "The more I hear this pattern, the more familiar it sounds to me. The person who gave your ex advice back then, his name wouldn't happen to be the same as some kind of cute creature unique to Liyue, would it?"
Leosley chuckled, “I don’t know much about Liyue, so I don’t know what you mean by ‘cute creature,’ but if you want to know this person’s name, I can tell you directly: his name is Pantarone.”
Kong's expression hardened. A rich man? The executor of the Fools had actually been plotting something here.
Is the matter between the young master and Linni related to that person?
Xu Ning didn't dwell on it too much. He looked around and sure enough, it was that panda. No wonder he had that feeling of déjà vu!
"Although Deacon still highly praised that charter, hasn't His Excellency the Duke given it other meanings?"
Xu Ning could tell that if things were still the same as they were in the beginning, when licenses were king, then the people on the street would definitely not maintain such a peaceful expression and demeanor.
"Talking about significance is too much of an overstatement. It should be said that everyone has gradually come to understand the principle that hard work pays off, and has begun to work and live more actively, gradually changing Melo Petersburg."
A burly man who looked like a manager, standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, burst into laughter after hearing Leosley's words.
"That's all thanks to His Excellency the Duke, who changed the rules after he came here. The most beneficial thing is that he added a welfare meal policy for us, so we can at least eat here for free every day. Otherwise, prisoners like you who just came in would have to go hungry and earn money first, empty-handed."
Leosley glanced at the gourd of wine in Xu Ning's hand and laughed, "They're not empty-handed, but Melo Petersburg is still happy to treat everyone to this meal. After all, as long as you follow the rules here, even if you're a lazybones who doesn't want to touch a single cog, you won't starve."
After identifying the places to eat, the next area is the prison cell area—where to sleep, and the factory area—where to make money.
Surprisingly, when Leosley led the three of them out of the prison area to the factory area, they happened to run into Linni, who was returning from the factory area.
Linni and Sora's gazes met across Leosley, but they both quickly looked away.
Xu Ning glanced at Kong with a wry smile and called out, "Linni! Look this way! Didn't expect that, did you? We're in here too."
Lin Ni frowned for a moment, then smiled broadly. "So it's Kong and Mr. Xu Ning. I never expected to see you here."
Kong was slightly flustered when he suddenly heard Xu Ning and Lin Ni greeting each other, but he gradually calmed down when he saw Lin Ni walking over calmly.
Since Leosley personally led the way, Xu Ning and the others didn't spend too much time with Lin Ni. They simply exchanged room numbers so they could share information after work.
While the group was talking, Leosley stood not far away, listening quietly with a knowing smile.
After touring the factory area, Leosley suddenly turned to Xu Ning and said with a smile, "Let me take you to get to know one last place. Although someone warned me a few days ago not to bring a certain guy with a gourd of wine into the infirmary, I've thought about it for days but still can't figure out why, so I've decided to take you there anyway."
Kong and Paimon were both taken aback. They hadn't even figured out Xu Ning's deliberate act of greeting Linni and revealing their intention to contact Linni, and now someone had already informed the Duke to be wary of Xu Ning. It seemed that this investigation was going to be very difficult.
Xu Ning frowned as well, wondering why he wasn't allowed to enter the infirmary.
What items in the medical room are not visible or accessible to the individual?
No, perhaps I should think of it the other way around. It's because there's something there that I have to see or touch, and the person who delivered the message figured out the Duke's personality and knew that he would deliberately take me there, so he indirectly achieved his goal.
If this message was delivered by the Fools, it must be said that the design was very clever, and there must be some important information about the young master in the infirmary.
Kong suddenly thought of this possibility as well, and glanced at Brother Xu from behind Leosley.
Linni also saw him. If they received news of the young master from the infirmary, would that mean the mission was basically complete?
Do I still need to stay for the full forty-five days by then? How can I leave earlier?
Kong found himself worrying again without realizing it.
"Let me introduce you. This is the infirmary, and this is Miss Siegwen, the head nurse of the Mello Petersburg."
Leosley's voice came through, and Sora quickly snapped out of his daze and peered inside.
Upon seeing that, Kong was instantly stunned.
The clinic was very ordinary, just like any other ordinary clinic.
The only unusual one was the girl standing in the infirmary... that cute little girl with pink and blue hair who looked remarkably like Melos.
