Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

The Ice Queen's response obviously aroused Pantalone's curiosity, and the banker's instinct made him realize that Her Majesty, who has always been straightforward, has concealed what she knows.

But at this moment, the empress didn't seem to want to say any more, she turned her back to Pantalone, and unbuttoned the plush cloak used to keep out the cold, revealing her snow-white delicate shoulders and a thin suspender nightdress.

Seeing this scene, the big banker's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he pretended not to see anything, bowed his head and left after saluting.

He understood that Her Majesty the Queen had issued an order to expel the guests, but Pan Fugui'er's aroused curiosity obviously would not stop easily.

After leaving the Winter Palace, Pantalone did not return to the Bank of the Northland immediately, but went around to the city hall under the jurisdiction of Pucciniera, took the elevator for executives of fools, and came to an office door on the top floor Outside, knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in."

What came from the room was not the sly and smooth tone of the rooster, but the cold and low voice of a middle-aged man.

Pantalone pushed open the door, and the snow was still falling in the winter. Even in the warm room, you could still hear the sound of the north wind knocking on the window. The fire was burning brightly in the fireplace, but it was white outside. world.

Sitting at the desk in the office was Piero the Harlequin in a cloak.

The commander of the fools with a short snow-white beard looked up and stared at Pantalone who entered the room with his cold star eyes. The whole room was filled with the strong smell of steel and gunpowder smoke, which proved that Piero should have just entered the room not long ago. Return from the barracks to the town hall.

As the executive officer in charge of almost all the affairs of the Kingdom of Winter, Piero did not hide in the Kingdom of Winter like a rooster or a rich man. Instead, he took the time to travel around the Seven Kingdoms to search for talents, and to carry out orders personally ordered by Her Majesty the Empress. secret mission.

Piero is of course willing to devote himself to the vision of Winter Pole White Star, but it is not an easy task to manage a large organization like the Fools while controlling the overall situation of Winter's Rebellion, even though "Rooster" Pucciniera can also Helping to deal with complicated official duties, but Piero is still responsible for formulating the main direction of action for the fools.

These extra paperwork often take up a lot of his time.

Of course, there are some people who think that this is a characteristic of the clown's status in the Zhidong Kingdom under one person and above ten thousand people. After all, not everyone can have the glory of handling the affairs of the Zhidong Kingdom.

Seeing Pantalone coming, the commander who was busy with official duties frowned and put down the documents in his hand, and patiently listened to Pantalone's roundabout inquiries.

Considering that it is a rare field mission for a big banker, and the importance of Pantalone in the economy of the country of winter, the clown thought for a long time before telling the other party a story that had been completely lost and whose authenticity could not be determined. legend:

"In the ancient times of fire sacrifices, when the War of Demon Gods began, Her Majesty the Empress had not yet been born, and the name of Snow Country was not "Solst Winter", but "Holy Orthos City". The demon god of Kayone. "

"She came down in a blizzard, taught the human race to farm and breed, and built cities, but she descended to the Kingdom of God, requiring the sheltered humans to close the city gates, cut off contact with the outside world of Teyvat, and forbid all residents in the city to use language to talk .”

"The city of St. Orthos fell under her divine power, and even the dead returned to life, but they also remained silent."

The nights in Zhidong Country are always very cold, even in the expensively built conservatory, the feeling of cold cannot be avoided. The branches of plants by the window of the office are trembling, and the rustling sound is like a thin cough.

Pantalone sat down near the fireplace, rubbed the shiny ring on his hand, and listened quietly to Piero's narration.

"This rule lasted for 98 years, and the whole city was filled with slow death, the intoxication of frost, and the beauty of silence, but in the ninth year of No. 90, a [Crying for Rebellion] was launched, and the rebels gathered under the name of shouting , intended to subvert the silence that Chione demanded."

"With human strength alone, there is absolutely no possibility of competing with Kayone, so the conspirators colluded with the guards to open the city gate and let a young demon god riding a flaming horse enter."

"After a short period of chaos, the conspirators only saw the boy riding on horseback, pulling Kayone's hair, dragging her out of the city while she was still crying. Since then, no one has seen Kayone One."

The clown's voice paused for a moment, as if to give Pantalone time to think.

Of course, the big banker knew that in that wild age where demons fought for faith, death might have been the most merciful way to end, but Pantalone didn't care what happened to Chione after she was captured.

After all, his allegiance is to Her Majesty the Empress now, no matter who the former ruler of Snow Country was, they are all dead now.

"It's a pity that those rebels only got the freedom to talk for a short time, because their betrayal attracted the god named [War], and they all died of regret and pain in the summer of the second year after they shouted for the rebellion... ..."

"The mortal who murdered the gods finally paid the price of killing the gods in another way."

Although the words of regret were on his lips, there was no pity in the clown's tone, but endless sneer.

"Kione means "blizzard" in the ancient Zhidong language. Although the history can no longer be verified, many people believe that our empress...was the most innocent snowflake in the blizzard. "

The legend told by Piero ended here, and Pantalone, who was sitting by the fire, listened to the last words of the clown, opened his eyes wide in surprise, and the unique elegant smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared for a while, but soon returned to normal.

The big banker also knows that the seven gods of the existing Tivat continent have passed away and the five gods have passed away, and many of the new gods have a homologous or twin relationship with the old gods. He just didn't expect that Her Majesty the beloved Queen has such a past.

The demon god named war that the clown was talking about was obviously the [Traitor God] Harpas whom he was about to visit.

"Kione was dragged out of the city by her hair..."

Pantalone secretly compared the strength gap between the two demon gods, considering whether the legend used an overly exaggerated expression, but she was even more curious about what happened after Chione was dragged out of the city.

Why didn't Harpas kill Kayone directly on the throne, but insisted on taking her out of the city?
Why did the Demon God, who has war as his authority, cooperate with the rebels instead of directly leading the army to attack the city of St. Orthos?

There is also a hint from Her Majesty the Queen. What is the weird relationship between Her Majesty and the demon god Harpas?

Pantalone already knew many secrets, but her doubts did not decrease by half, but continued to increase.

It's just that Piero didn't seem to intend to explain any more. He put down the official document in his hand and looked up at Pantalone. His blue eyes shone slightly in the snow in the night, and his pale star pupils seemed to Capture people's minds.

"Pantalone, you should know very well that it is better to look for the light of the future than to explore the dead."

Hearing the commander's reminder, Pantalone knew that he had obtained enough information, and then got up to bid farewell to the other party, left the city hall, and walked into the vast white snow in winter wearing a cloak.

Not long after Pantalone left, the Harlequin drew up the last few official documents and passed them on to the staff of the city hall. He left the city hall calmly and went to the next place where he was needed.

Before leaving, he glanced in the direction of Beiguo Bank.

Since the blood of his compatriots cannot be washed away, he simply becomes a "harlequin" who mocks fate.

Since his talent and learning cannot be compared with the "sages", he failed to win the favor of the previous king, and he failed to prevent them from tearing the sarong of deep sin and causing a frenzy of wrath, destruction and ignorance, then he simply became a clumsy "Fool", allegiance to His Majesty who understands his pain...

Proud comrades, let’s have anger and eternal cold in our hearts. Since we have all seen the absurdity and indifference of the world’s laws, let’s put on the mask of mocking the world and rewrite the laws of heaven together. (end of this chapter)
