Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Peaceful days always pass quickly, especially for travelers.

After listening to Miss Catherine's signature greeting "Towards the Stars and the Abyss" for several days, the traveler who was eating breakfast and accepting daily commissions finally encountered a rare dialogue from the Adventurer's Guild.

"Please stay, traveler."

"I have a rather special commission here, I wonder if you are interested?"

Miss Catherine still had her signature smile on her face, like a soulless machine, but when she heard that there was a special commission to be accepted, Yingmei swallowed the breakfast she bought at Wanmin Hall in a few mouthfuls, and pulled Paimon, who was still hungry, to Catherine.

"Of course, no matter what the commission is, it can be difficult for me!"

The traveler responded energetically, and Paimon, who was still chewing food, also nodded with a hum.

As we all know, special commissions represent many, many Moras.

"Due to confidentiality, I cannot reveal the publisher's name, but this commission requires adventurers to find a winter man named "Ajax" in Liyue."

"According to the poster, this Mr. Ajax is young, has orange hair and blue eyes, is a "toy salesman", has outstanding business capabilities, and was transferred from Solstice to Liyue for work reasons."

Miss Catherine briefly explained the details, folded her hands in front of her belly, and waited for Yingmei's response.

"Wait, what's the name of the Solstice Man? Ajax?"

The traveler asked again with a little confusion. Paimon, who was recording information in the adventurer's handbook, came to his senses and turned his head to look at the traveler.

"Hey, Ajax, isn't that the young master's..."

Just as Paimon was about to say Tartaglia's name, Yingmei quickly covered the emergency food's mouth.

The Fatui are notorious in Liyue now. Even if people talk about the Fatui openly on the street, it will attract the attention of residents on the roadside. If they are heard by the patrolling Thousand Rocks soldiers, they will inevitably be questioned.

"Although I don't know what the relationship is between the Fatui executive and Mr. Ajax, I believe you two already have some clues."

Catherine was not affected at all by the rumors from the outside world, and still dutifully told the travelers about the commission.

"So, do you two want to accept this commission?"

"Sure...I'll try."

If the traveler was full of energy just now, his response now seems a little lacking in confidence.

Regardless of whether the Ajax mentioned by the client is Tartaglia, the position of toy salesman alone sounds very suspicious.

But with orange hair and blue eyes and his young age, it seems that he is looking for the person that the Traveler and Paimon think of first.

Could it be that, like the lady’s identity as “Mondstadt’s Diplomatic Envoy”, “toy salesperson” is also Tartaglia’s superficial identity in Liyue?
However, even though they knew that the person they were looking for was Tartaglia, the Traveler didn't have much of an idea. Ever since they parted ways on the Zhudian Boat, Yingmei hadn't seen him again. It was unknown whether he had taken Zhongli's Heart of God back to Winter Solstice to report, or had gone somewhere else to carry out a mission.

The traveler was guessing where Tartaglia was going, but Catherine's response gave her a new clue: "Thank you very much for your help, adventurer."

"If you find Mr. Ajax's whereabouts, you can submit a commission directly to the association; if you find Ajax himself, you can inform him to wait on the Yermak at the South Pier."

Hearing the familiar ship name, the traveler was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

In order to find the whereabouts of Captain Beidou, Yingmei has been running to the dock quite often these days. Except for the Death Star of the Southern Cross Fleet, she has looked at all the other ships. After all, only the North Dock is available in Liyue now. If one wants to do business in Liyue, he can only dock at the North Dock.

As for the port that the Liyue family privately built in Guyun Pavilion...it’s better not to mention it.

After the Yinyuan Hall Incident, Tianquan Ningguang took charge of all important military and political affairs in Liyue Port. The aristocratic families in Liyue were faced with the problem of how to stay out of the liquidation. How could they have the leisure to challenge the authority of the Seven Stars again?

Thanks to Ningguang's own acknowledgement of her heroic identity, travelers strolling around the dock even became familiar with the port's ship registrar "Lin Ling", and could occasionally look through the ship registration records of the entire port.

The traveler tried hard to recall the details of the written records in his mind, and then he remembered that the place of origin filled in the Yermak's port registration seemed to be the Kingdom of Winter, and the reason for the port entry application was "personnel transfer of the Northland Bank."

This is the ship Pantalone is on!
The traveler reacted and subconsciously wanted to refuse the commission she had just accepted. She knew that Tartaglia and Pantalone had a bad relationship, especially when they confronted Zhongli and the lady at the North Bank, Tartaglia took away the final victory of the whole plan. Zhongli's Heart of God.

The harsh words that the lady uttered with gritted teeth after being intercepted are still ringing in my ears. Not long after, Pantalone came to Liyue by boat in person, obviously wanting to settle the mistakes made by Tartaglia and the compensation contract that was signed by mistake.

But the young man was obviously not stupid. He hid himself early, in a place where neither Pantalone nor the lady could find him.

In the eyes of the traveler, the Adventurer's Association so coincidentally issued the commission to find Tartaglia, and Miss Catherine so coincidentally issued the commission to her, one of the few who might know Tartaglia's whereabouts... A series of coincidences immediately made Xie Ying alert.

Could it be that Northland Bank deliberately released this to test her commission?

Thinking of the fact that Pantalone was the mastermind behind the Silver Plain Hall's god-making plan, the traveler had the illusion that he was being watched by a wild beast in secret.

"Traveler, have you thought of anything? How about going to the port to investigate that strange ship?"

Little Paimon was still heartlessly urging the Traveler to act quickly, completely unaware that she and the Traveler might have fallen into a trap woven by Pantalone.

"No, let me, uh, go and complete this commission first..."

The traveler took the Adventurer's Handbook from Paimon and quickly flipped through it. He pointed to the daily commission at the top of the manual and nodded affirmatively.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Well, let me see... An extremely dangerous ruins guard has appeared at the foot of Tianheng Mountain. The Qianyan Army has entrusted a powerful adventurer to help deal with it."

Although he didn't know why the traveler ignored the special commission and chose the thankless daily commission, Paimon still played the role of a guide. He looked at the small map attached to the adventurer's manual and rushed to the place where the incident occurred with the traveler.

At the same time in Northland Bank.

"Master, according to your plan, the traveler has already set out for Tianheng Mountain."

The gray-haired Russell respectfully reported the travelers' movements to Pantalone, who was wearing a cloak and reading paper documents behind the desk. The rich man didn't even raise his head when he heard the words, but just slightly adjusted the glasses on his nose, and then turned a page of the document in his hand.

"What about the two Excellencies?"

"According to the time, we should have arrived at the scheduled location."

Russell came over to Pantalone and refilled his empty cup with tea.

"well-done."

Pantalone finally put down the paper in his hand and looked up with satisfaction.

"But sir, I don't understand, wouldn't it make things more complicated if we put them together?"

Russell hesitated for several times, as if he was thinking of the kid named Toke, but finally he couldn't help asking.

"Things are indeed a bit tricky... But apart from us, doesn't the Tianquanxing who just took over Liyue feel troubled?" Pantalone folded his hands, looked at Russell with his head tilted, and said in a gentle tone, "Speaking of which, there is no news from Irina yet?"

"There is no news yet. There is no response from the secret line buried in Liyue. Everything in the safe house is normal."

When mentioning Irina, who suddenly disappeared after the Golden House incident, Russell's tone was filled with some doubt.

Although Irina is arrogant, she knows her limits. If there were no special circumstances, she would not leave without saying goodbye. Moreover, as a ceremonial soldier, she is also a respected figure in the Fatui team. Her resume from childhood to adulthood is extremely outstanding. Psychological assessment reports over the years show that she is absolutely loyal to Solstice and there is no possibility of rebellion.

But ever since Irina opened the water mirror and stepped into Feiyun Slope, she seemed to have evaporated. No trace of her could be found anywhere, and she did not actively send back any information. It was really too abnormal.

Pantalone sighed slightly.

Irina has a special identity and has worked under many executives. Now she has disappeared inexplicably, and it is hard for people to think of anything good in it.

"Find her, Russell...either alive or dead." (End of this chapter)
