Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 394 Burn the Old World for Me
The starry sky in the solstice of winter is always beautiful, and tonight's brilliant and changing aurora added a bit of solemnity and sanctity to this meeting.

But the rich man who heard the words "hometown" suddenly clenched his hands tightly, and the rings on his fingers trembled due to excessive force, apparently recalling some painful memories.

Most demon gods can't understand human's feelings because of extreme love and hate.

People who pursue profit and prosperity flocked to Liyue Port under the rule of Yan Wang Dijun. Thanks to the emperor's favor, this port city has long since become the famous commercial capital of the Seven Kingdoms, and it is a holy place in the hearts of every businessman.

But today's rich man was once a member of this bustling hustle and bustle. He thinks that his inner desire for power is no worse than anyone else's, but such a burning desire has never been watched by the gods.

Since you can't get the favor of the gods, then you should take the next best thing, usurp the seat of Seven Stars, and become the richest person.

As long as he is rich enough, he can also acquire abilities beyond the reach of ordinary people on another path.

However, Mora's production is still in the hands of the indifferent gods. The precious wealth that mortals can't get in exchange for a lifetime of hard work can be easily realized by the gods with a single thought.

Therefore, for more money, people yearn for the protection of the gods one after another. This kind of flattery pleases the gods, and the gods also grant some small favors, enjoying the pursuit of mortals with peace of mind.

But the world shouldn't be like this.

"We should rely on our own efforts and ingenuity in exchange for wealth, not the mercy of the gods. Blindly worshiping those hypocritical gods is an insult to the efforts of human beings."

This is what Pantalone said when the shop in Pantalone was shut down by the General Affairs Department due to improper competition.

At that time, the crowd of onlookers laughed at Pantalone's idea of ​​disrespecting the emperor, pointing at him and laughing.

"Look at this guy, he actually wants to challenge the gods. He really doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth. Fortunately, Lord Yan is generous and won't care about you."

There was deep resentment in the eyes of the "rich man", and he responded decisively to these ridicules.

"I will prove that even if I am confined to the law of contract made by that rock god, I will still surpass the prosperity he created."

After that, Pantalone left the prosperous port of Liyue disheartened, and walked aimlessly on the vast continent. Wanting to create a prosperity better than Liyue is not something that can be done just by talking, he must have A partner, a country for him to play.

He traveled all over the other six countries, and finally, someone accepted him in the snow country where the winter polar white star was shining.

"I will do everything possible to make Zhidong the heart of money circulating in the world."

"Then when necessary, let the heart stop at our will."

The queen recognized Pantalone's ability and achievements, honored him as the ninth executive officer of the Fools, and gave him a new name and code name.

It doesn't matter what it's called, but for Pantalone, it's just a code name.

He left Liyue behind early on.

"My hometown, I haven't heard this word for a long time..."

Pantalone touched the evil eye hidden under the cloak. He, who had longed for the gaze of the gods so much, finally got the approval of the gods in another form.

"Since it is His Majesty's gift and kindness, I am very happy to serve you."

The rich man resumed his elegant and easy-going appearance, and picked up the letters on the table.

Becoming a pawn in the game between the gods is not beyond his expectations. During the long journey, more and more victims will be pushed into the dark river and condense into solid ice that will never melt. This is the fate of the executive officer.

"The letter contains information about Harpas, as well as the latest news from Madam and Dadalia."

Piero's starry left eye did not move, but he could see that he was very satisfied with Pantalone's reaction.

The rich man controls the economic lifeline of Zhidong Kingdom. Under his fiscal policy, Zhidong Country's economy is developing at a high speed. Even if he is unlucky, the country's finances still have enough money and resources to maintain a state of war readiness.

Even the daily expenses of the Ice Queen are included in the national expenditure items.

Fortunately, the queen doesn't like living conditions that are too ostentatious and ostentatious, and doesn't want to add financial burdens out of thin air.

Pantalone can fully understand the Queen's thoughts, and according to the Queen's instructions, control the project details at a low level.

But if someone really entered the Winter Palace, or really saw the queen's daily life with her own eyes, she would be shocked by the rarity of the palace furnishings and the luxury of the things she used.

The life of the royal family and nobles like this is definitely not satisfied by the expenditures on the financial books.

This guy Pantalone is really good at making money.

This is the consensus of the entire Zhidong Kingdom.

"As a colleague's suggestion, Pantalone, you'd better go back to the Northland Bank and open the envelope."

Piero's tone was low and grim.

In the envelope, apart from the information returned by the lady and the detailed plan to retrieve Harpas's God's Heart, there is also a copy of the updated contract signed by Dadalia.

Piero has received Her Majesty's order that the Bank of the North Country will be fully responsible for rebuilding the damaged Liyue building, and this is the real reason for sending Pantalone to Liyue.

Even Piero, who has experienced the rise and fall of Canria, couldn't help frowning when he first saw such a large amount of Mora's compensation and engineering volume.

"Morax is the oldest and most respected god on this continent. It is not easy to get his support. Now that the contract is signed, there is no reason to violate it."

"As long as Ajax takes back the Heart of God... a little loss is nothing."

These are the words of Her Majesty the Queen.

But the Harlequin only hoped that when Pantalone saw the compensation item, he would maintain his current elegance and indifference.

"Capitano, it's time to return your knight sword to its original owner."

Piero gave instructions to the "captain" in military uniform, and Capitano took off the dark long sword hanging from his waist without hesitation, and placed it flat on the long table.

The blood slot shaped like sharp teeth and the weeping blood mask form the sword grid, which all show that this is a sharp blade that is always thirsty for blood.

Almost all the executive officers of the fools who went to the front line of the abyss have seen the captain fighting on the battlefield.

Capitano, holding a black sword, cut, pierced, and slashed in the turbid waves of firecracker smoke and stumped limbs. Each sword carried the elegance of an ancient knight tempered by battle, and his moves were not fancy. It can even be called monotonous, but no matter whether monsters or enemies, no matter magic or dazzling moves, none of them can resist the call of the black blade and death.

Even though it was a relatively light one-handed sword, it was still powerful in the hands of the "Captain". The blade whizzed and slashed down, and the thin metal seemed to have a weight that was completely disproportionate to its appearance.

This sword can nourish the person who wields it, giving it the power to continue fighting. Even a person who was originally pure and white will be blackened by blood after holding this sword.

The newly stained blood disappeared on the surface of the blade, and the black sword became stronger, and the captain's strength also continued to improve during the battle.

Few people know the origin of this sword, but Capitano knows that this sharp sword that accompanied him never belonged to him.

This is the sword used by the war lord Harpas, and it was given to the glorious Arjuna family together with the [Kingdom Flag Spear] after the War of the Right of Way.

Under Piero's signal, Pantalone put away the black sword handed by the captain full of doubts.

"Dottore, Scaramucci, you guys also set off early."

The arrangements for the rich ended here, and the clown turned around to remind Daozuma of the vagrant and the doctor who was obsessed with experiments.

The doctor stared at Pantalone intently, as if he was estimating the survival probability of the other party's trip.And the straggler's purple eyes only flashed a little unruly thunder, with an arrogant expression, and he only nodded slightly when he heard Piero's dissatisfied reminder.

Deep solid ice formed outside the gate of the Winter Palace, and then more ice edges rose from the ground, layer upon layer.

"All conquests begin where the flames are born."

"There is a ruler living here, fighting fiercely and not being hurt; and the one from the past is even more powerful, and the more he fights, the stronger he gets."

Piero made a concluding statement, and the executive officers who heard the sound of solid ice also got up one after another, saluted in the direction of the Ice Queen's bedroom, and left.

Above the wind and snow, the winter polar white star hangs high.

Ushering at the end of destruction will be the dawn of innocence.
