Comprehensive comics, this god is a bit disdainful.

It's just that on Liyue's side, if there is no executive in charge, I am afraid that the forces of the Fools will be further suppressed by the Seven Stars of Liyue...

"You still need to report on Sandone's situation. After all, you were the first person to have a conflict with her. As for Liyue, we have reached a friendly relationship with the Rock God. There is no problem in leaving it alone for a while."

"Okay, I just want to bring back some specialties for my family. Why don't you bring some for your own [family members]?"

Faced with Dadalia's low-level eccentricity, Arecino's face remained unmoved, and he even wanted to laugh. There was actually an "innocent" guy like Dadalia among the executives.

No wonder this guy is at the bottom...

"The gifts have been prepared a long time ago. You don't need to worry about it. The ship to the solstice is tomorrow morning. You'd better pack your luggage as soon as possible."

When he heard that he was leaving tomorrow, Dadalia didn't care to clean up his current dusty appearance, and quickly withdrew some money from the Northland Bank, preparing to buy specialties for his family.

The next day, the ship to the Winter Kingdom set off, and the Liyue General Affairs Department also cooperated to see them off. Many Liyue people also came to see them off.

After all, the Fool Executives are helping to deal with the changes in the Liyue Rock Abyss. You can find out by asking carefully.

However, only Zhong Rui and the executives who carried out the mission knew the truth about this matter.

"Master, Arecino and others have already left by boat..."

Sandone was wearing a Fontaine-style maid outfit, with a Tianrui device like earphones in her ears, and respectfully reported the information she had obtained from the mechanical creation to Zhongrui.

"Sandogne, how long does it take from Liyue to Winter Solstice?"

Zhong Rui lay on the sofa, resting his head on Gogo Chiyo's thigh in black stockings, enjoying her massage with his eyes closed, and eating the fruit fed by Raiden Shin next to him.

He has worked hard for so long in the past six months, and now it's time to enjoy it...

"At the speed of the Solstice battleship, if no special events occur, it will take about eight hours."

Sandone took the initiative to squat down and massage the legs of Zhong Rui who was lying on the sofa. She did not resist the maid's work at all. After all, the open access to knowledge about the other world was evaluated based on her monthly performance.

In addition, if she can get Zhong Rui's favor, it will be an unimaginable boost to her research!

If he hadn't pushed Zhong Rui directly, he would have definitely rejected her. Sandone was already ready to complete her dedication as a maid immediately!

In order to gather enough favor to push him, she could only be patient and attack Zhong Rui step by step.

"Eight hours... I hope the Winter Queen likes my gift..."

In the Winter Palace, the Queen of Winter suddenly opened her eyes with her eyes closed, and looked at the chief executive below with a gaze that seemed to freeze people.

"Pierro, what's the matter?"

"My Lady Queen, the executive officer you sent to Liyue has returned. That Lord Zhong Rui has handed over the Heart of Thunder God to us..."

Piero, who was half-kneeling in front of the Queen of Winter, spoke of Zhong Rui with respect in his tone.

After all, in Kanria at that time, he was one of the few gods willing to help...

Even with all the power he possesses, he is the hope of all of them Kharians...

If that god hadn't ascended the throne 500 years later, I'm afraid he would no longer be assisting the Queen of Winter, but Emperor Tianrui of Liyue...

Pity...

Chapter 459 Solstice Incident

"Oh? Isn't this the mayor? I heard that a fellow executive officer died in a strange land. I remember that the list of this mission was decided by the mayor, right? It seems that you have also missed it. Where is the place..."

As an executive who stayed in the Kingdom of Solstice, [Rich Man] Pantalone could not help but become angry when he saw [Cock] Puccinella.

After all, because Puccinella implemented many policies that favored Liyue, the Northland Bank he ran lost a lot of money.

This profit-seeking mayor doesn't care at all whether it is the Bank of Beiguo or the Bank of Liyue that ultimately controls the Zhidong economy.

As long as Liyue paid enough "taxes", he wouldn't even mind helping Liyue Bank destroy his Beiguo Bank!

"Pantarone, Sandone did not sacrifice for Zhidong's lofty ideals. She chose to betray Zhidong. Besides, Arecino and the others have brought back the heart of God promised by the Rock God. The task is natural. It was a complete success.”

Puccinella responded to Pantalone's question very calmly.

It’s just that he couldn’t understand the reason for Sandone’s betrayal. After all, in his opinion, even if there was some personal enmity between Sandone and Dadalia, they wouldn’t attack him during the mission, right?

There may be something fishy here, but Puccinella has no intention of getting into it. After all, as long as the Heart of God is accurately accounted for, the life or death of a mere executive does not matter at all...

"Sandogne betrayed Zhidong? It seems that the mayor's intelligence network is really broad, or did you already see Sandoni's betrayal, so you deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of her?"

Puccinella was not without temper. He was repeatedly provoked by Pantalone, and he responded with his own response. His pale golden eyes looked at the ungrateful banker with indifference.

"Pantaronie, I heard that Northland Bank's recent earnings have been relatively dismal. If Northland Bank is unable to complete the supply of military expenses to the Fools next year, I think some of the preferential treatment that Northland Bank should not enjoy should be given to better companies, such as Liyue Bank..."

As the mayor of the Solstice Capital, his power here is second only to the Solstice Queen. In other words, he can forcibly expropriate all the properties in Pantalone at any time if he wants.

Although this would bring a stain on the reputation of the Solstice Country, considering the wealth and industry he had accumulated over the years by allowing Pantalone to do so, even if his reputation was slightly stained, it would still be considered a relatively good deal. ..

"It seems that our Lord Mayor has not considered the consequences of Liyue Bank's control of the winter economy in the future..."

Hearing the threat in Puccinella's words, Pantalone no longer maintained the amiable disguise of squinting and smiling, and looked at Puccinella with her lavender eyes, without the smile that she always maintained on her face.

"Haha, the Liyue people only come to Zhidong to do business. Besides, their taxes this month are three times that of Beiguo Bank. What bad intentions can these lovely Liyue friends have?"

Puccinella even scorned Pantalone's "advice". He only looked at Mora who ended up in the treasury, and would not take special care of the Bank of the North because its headquarters was in the winter.

Nowadays, the fools have taken enough care of Northland Bank, otherwise Northland Bank would not be able to operate on such a scale...

Moreover, over the years, Northland Bank has used more and more tax evasion methods, so Puccinella had to spare his energy to deal with tax matters.

Every time he took people to the Northland Bank to ask them to pay taxes and fines, Pantalone always smiled, and then asked people to move out the mola prepared in advance as if giving them money.

If there hadn't been a guy as good at making money as Pantalone in Zhidong in recent years, Puccinella would have replaced the ninth executive officer long ago.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger and stronger, [Harlequin], who had been silent since just now and showed no concern for the outside world, opened his eyes.

"So far."

Piero killed the dispute between Pantalone and Puccinella with just one sentence. Both of them lowered their heads in a tacit understanding and did not dare to offend or contradict the governor. Behavior.

As the CEO of the Fools, Piero is above the two of them in terms of status and strength.

Offending him was not a sensible thing to do, and both of them knew this, so they both stopped arguing and left the fight until the next confrontation.

"I thought you were going to keep arguing for a little longer..."

Arecino pushed open the door of the meeting hall with one hand. Although she had no idea about the intrigue between executives before, after seeing the atmosphere in Liyue...

This place in Zhidong is really terrible. I really want to get things done here quickly and return to Liyue Port as soon as possible.

"Welcome home, heroes of Winter, your achievements and glory have spread throughout Winter, and people will be proud of you!"

Facing the heroes returning from the expedition, Puccinella showed a kind smile, as kind as an old man who cares for his younger generations.

Of course, Dadalia was the only one who really thought this way, and even the most upright [Captain] Capitano could see Puccinella's hypocrisy.

"Huh? Wait a minute, Mr. Mayor, you said that our achievements have spread throughout Zhidong. Does it mean that everyone in my family also knows about it?"

Dadalia felt a little headache when thinking about her youngest brother in the family who believed that he went to Liyue to sell toys.

His parents and some older brothers and sisters already knew about his work in the Fools, but Dadalia was the only one who didn't want his six-year-old brother to be exposed to the darkness so early.

Although he is proud of his status as a member of the Fools, as an elder brother, the things he did in the Fools are honestly not something worth boasting about...

It seems that the only achievements he can boast of so far are trying to prevent the skirmishers from unsealing the Demon God in Liyue, and working with other executives to solve the changes in the layered rock abyss?

"Of course, after all, Dadalia, you have helped Zhidong obtain two Hearts of God, and your achievements among executive officers have ranked first. You deserve to receive this honor."

"Oh, forget it, I'd better think about how to make up a story to tell Tok when I get home later..."

Dadalia sighed with a headache and tried to adapt the stories he heard in Liyue. Fortunately, he accompanied Zhongli to listen to many storytelling sessions, and many of them were suitable for adaptation...

"Don't worry, Dadalia, after today, I don't think your family will care about such trivial things..."

After Dotore saw Queen Zhi Dong coming to the meeting hall in person, a smile appeared on her face. It seemed that she could catch them all in one fell swoop...

Ice God of the solstice, your grand plan has lagged behind this era after all...

Chapter 460: Raising the Sword of Rebellion to the Queen of Winter

"Dotore, what do you mean?"

Piero could hear the malice in Dottore's words. If his malice was only aimed at Dadalia, then Piero didn't care.

But the malice that was about to overflow from Dotore was obviously directed at those present, including the Queen of Winter.

"I have always had a little doubt about whether Queen Solstice has the ability to control an executive."

Dotore pulled out the black and red sword from his waist and inserted it into the ground. Although this is not the main body of the Key of Corrosion, as a product of Zhong Rui's materialization, it also has the same ability as the main body, but the time of use is different. It’s just restricted.

"Can I regard your behavior as a betrayal of Zhi Dong?"

Piero, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but frown slightly at this time. The second seat [Doctor], the third seat [Girl], and the fourth seat [Captain], these three executive officers at the front Even he would find it difficult to join forces.

But that was in the wild, but this was the palace of the Winter Queen. In front of the Ice Queen, it was not their turn to be arrogant.

As for the 11th seat [Servant] Arecino and the [-]th seat [Master] Dadalia, they were not taken seriously by Piero at all.

Even if the top three executives have power that rivals the Demon Gods, the upper and lower limits of the strength gap between the Demon Gods are extremely large, just like the gap between the regular Demon Gods and the original Seven Gods.

Although the Ice Queen is not the first ice god, she is also the most powerful among all the ice gods in the past!

If the top three executives are really capable of defeating the powerful Demon God, then they, the Fools, will not use conspiracies and tricks to gain the God's Heart, but will directly plunder it!

What made Piero confused was Capitano's betrayal, but in terms of loyalty to Winter, even he thought he could not compare to this absolutely upright [Captain].

As a person from the Winter Kingdom, there is no way he would betray the Queen of Winter!

It seems that the Tianrui Emperor used some means to modify Capitano's mind or memory?

From this point of view, the reason why Dotore had the confidence to rebel against Zhidong was because he got something from Emperor Tianrui...

Is it that knife?

"Betrayal? There has never been any loyalty, and naturally there is no so-called betrayal."

As soon as Dotore finished speaking, a chill that could freeze the soul emerged from under his feet, and huge ice crystals instantly formed, freezing Dotore's arrogant expression.

"..."

Arecino looked at the frozen Dotore and subconsciously moved away from him. Fortunately, the Winter Queen did not include her near Dotore within the attack range.

Maybe it's because the Winter Queen thought that Datorei was the only one who betrayed?

"My Lady Queen, I will protest to Liyue right now...ah!"
