Genshin Impact, I'm Slime
Chapter 452 The Evening Bell of the Northern Country
"Andre, is this the result of your business in Liyue for several years?"
Pantalone's voice was elegant and deep, and she raised her hand to turn over the hourglass in front of the table. The gold-plated sand slowly dripped down, shining dazzlingly under the light.
"Master Pantalone, I, we have nothing to do, my lord..."
Andre looked down at the ground, not daring to raise his head to see Pantalone's expression, completely lost the ease with which Keqing interrogated him.
The total amount of Mora on the Northern Bank's bill has reached an astonishing amount, and even all the expenses of Her Majesty the Queen's visit to the Winter Palace last year can't compare to the compensation contract signed by Dadalia casually.
Pantalone sat in the office, calmly looking at the thick stack of bills, took off the glasses hanging from the bridge of his nose, and the smile on his face was becoming more and more difficult to maintain.
Rather than overthrowing Liyue's economic hegemony, he now wants to impose economic sanctions on Mo Xi.
"Where are the others in Dadalia?"
Seeing Andre hesitating and hesitating, Pantalone sighed and asked Dadalia's whereabouts.
"My lord has never returned since he left Beiguo Bank the day before yesterday, and he even left you... a letter."
Mentioning the culprit that caused the current situation, Andre's tone suddenly became smoother, and he took out the Dadalia commissioned letter from his pocket respectfully.
Pantalone smiled and took the sealed envelope, and took out the letter paper to check.
At the beginning of the paper, a complicated Liyue greeting was used to introduce Liyue's various special snacks and cultural scenery to the readers.
And the last paragraph of the letter with the words of Zhidong was obviously added later, revealing the fact that the writer's education level is not high:
"Pantalone, although I don't know what happened to the letter you sent me, but you'd better pray that Tok is okay, otherwise, when I return to Solstice Winter, I will blow up your Northern Bank!"
In addition, there were several bills in the envelope, which were obviously intended to be reimbursed to Pantalone.
"Very good...Ajax."
Pantalone's suppressed and low voice sounded in the room, with an extremely cold chill, and then he turned his head and handed the letter to Russell, and casually ordered: "Go and send a mission report to the Harlequin, just say Dadalia is dead, this is his suicide note."
The old butler subconsciously took the paper from Pantalone, but soon froze in place somewhat at a loss.
How could he be qualified to report the death information of the executive officer?
But seeing the cold expression of the big banker, Russell did not intend to refute Master Pantalone's order at this time. He took the letter left by Dadalia, bowed and left the room backwards.
At this moment, only Irina and Andre were left in the office, while Pantalone tapped his fingers on the thick mahogany desk, as if thinking about something.
The executive officers of the Fools represent the strongest combat power in the Winter Kingdom, and the recruitment method can be recommended by other executive officers in addition to the "Harlequin" Piero's personal invitation.
As the last of the youngest fools, Dadalia's referee is the fifth "rooster" Puccinera.
As we all know, the relationship between Pantalone and Pucciniera is not harmonious. Although the mayor is quite cunning and courageous, and the policy is implemented quite well, the actual effect is unsatisfactory.
Especially after Dadalia became the executive officer, Puccinera continued to win over the relatives of the other party, and even let Dadalia's younger siblings directly call him Grandpa Pucciniella.
Thinking of the expressions on the faces of those children when they warmly called Grandpa Pucciniera, the disgust on Pantalone's brows was about to overflow.
Don't look at Dadalia's usual appearance as a harmless big brother to humans and animals. During the training in the Winter Kingdom, this young man who likes to fight bravely and fiercely caused troubles for Pantalone.
For example, Dadalia once participated in a one-sided fight in Seadust Town, and he alone defeated all the troops of the two battalions of the Fools’ Conscription Regiment. Pantalone had to allocate a large amount of funds to Capitano to treat and appease the injured soldiers.
"Captain" Capitano pays attention to the honor of knights, even when fighting on the battlefield, he maintains due elegance, and will never deliberately damage the surrounding buildings and objects.
And Dadalia always opened and closed his shots when performing tasks, and everywhere he went was destroyed like ruins.
As a result, Pantalone had to deal with various maintenance costs and damage compensation issues.
He always felt that the little lunatic Dadalia was specially used by Pucciniera to make trouble for him.
And the result was indeed effective. Pantalone not only lost Mora, but also had a headache to deal with the aftermath.
"This is an extremely despicable waste!"
Pantalone had made a serious protest to the buffoon, but Piero obviously had a different opinion.
"As fellow fools, you are supposed to help each other...but it's rare to hear the word "waste" from your mouth. "
The buffoon's reply was casual and short, but it often made the smile on Pantalone's face disappear in an instant.
Fortunately, when dealing with Ajax's compensation bill, Pantalone can always use the excuse of being incompetent to teach, and intentionally blame Puccinera's incompetence in front of everyone, but this kind of ridicule can only make the cheeky mayor twitch his lips.
"I thought that a child born in a rural place like Haizhu Town should understand that it is not easy to make money."
Pantalone specifically emphasized the children who went to the countryside, and Andre's brain in the office was spinning rapidly at the moment, screaming secretly in his heart.
Master Pantalone was obviously in a bad mood, and if he didn't think of a way out quickly, he might lose his position as the manager of the North Country Bank.
"Master Pantalone...the casino that was confiscated together with the Yanshang Tea Room was reopened a few days ago."
Andre figured that since the master's code name was "Rich Man", he might be interested in casinos.
Fortunately, Andre's bet was right.
Pantalone was still thinking about who to pick to replace Andre, and then he was attracted by the other's remedial words.
"Do you know who is behind it?"
The executive officers in the room seemed to have successfully been distracted, and Andre finally let go of the heart he had been holding on for a while.
"I haven't found it yet, but I guess the incumbent Tian Quan Ningguang, and the woman named Ye Lan you asked us to track down, recently often went to the teahouse on Yanshang to play dice..."
Andre answered the question cautiously, but just as the name of "Ye Lan" was spoken, the mysterious wristband on Irina's wrist shimmered as if in response, and the faint blue light also interrupted Andre's narration.
Irina raised her hand in surprise, and several azure phantoms appeared out of thin air. The scene should be in a secret room.
The short-haired woman in a snow-white cloak was discussing something with several of her subordinates, but as the woman tapped the wrist bracelet of the same style as Irina's on her wrist, the phantom disappeared in an instant.
"Lord Pantalone?"
Irina was obviously at a loss, and looked sideways at Pantalone.
"It seems that the little mouse can't hide anymore..."
Pantalone narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he had successfully discovered a loophole in the policy and made a lot of money.
At this moment, Ekaterina, who had already escaped from Pantalone's office, returned anxiously, knocked lightly and pushed open the heavy door:
"Master Pantalone, there is a boy named Famas who wants to see you..."
"We can't stop him." (End of this chapter)
Pantalone's voice was elegant and deep, and she raised her hand to turn over the hourglass in front of the table. The gold-plated sand slowly dripped down, shining dazzlingly under the light.
