The original god, the zero-seat executive of the Fools

"Haha, let's not talk about the ultimate obsession. Even if I face any ruler in [time], [space], [death], and [life], it is not wrong to describe me as weak now." After finishing speaking, , Ling got up from the ground and walked towards the center of the hall: "That's all, since everyone is here, let us mark the end of Rosalin's life with our own hands."

......

"We are gathered here today to commemorate our good companion. Her sacrifice is worth a full half-day stoppage for the entire winter." [Rooster] Puccinella held on to her cane and spoke in a heavy tone. The opening remarks of this memorial.

"Only half a day? It is said that the turnover of Northland Bank is blood, tears and screams, but Mr. Mayor, your values ​​​​are even more twisted than a banker like me." [Rich Man] Pantalone crossed his fingers and spoke in a casual and relaxed tone without losing elegance. , rather than attending a colleague’s memorial service, it would be better to say that he felt like he was on the stage of a dinner party.

"Rosaline's death in a strange land should be unimaginable to you rich businessmen and politicians who lack empathy and only find excuses to huddle in the solstice." [Servant] Arecino lowered his eyelids, but But his tone became even colder: "In that case, keep your mouth shut! Otherwise, the children will cry."

"It's not the children who will cry, but Rosalyn in the coffin. This is not the place for you to quarrel. If you have any dissatisfaction with anyone, you can find a place to fight over life and death after it's over. You are on the wrong occasion and at the wrong time, in front of I feel very sad to be fighting over meaningless things in front of the body of our good companion Rosalin." Ling knocked on [Ms.]'s coffin, her words filled with dissatisfaction.

"Haha, I heard that you watched the whole process of Rosalind's death, and you are feeling sad now. Isn't it too late?" Arecino narrowed her eyes at him.

"You are blaming me for not saving her. I'm sorry. I'm not her parent. I have no reason to teach her to be smart. I'm not her bodyguard. I have no reason to pay for her stupidity." Ling glanced at her coldly and said indifferently. : "Or are you dissatisfied with what I did?"

"Please make it clear, I am here not to mourn the death of Rosalind, but to mourn the fate of all of us." Ling raised the corners of his eyes: "What do you think?"

"It makes sense, but I don't agree with the fact that death is the destination for all of us." [Master] Dadalia crossed his arms and cast a faint smile towards the spirit: "At least I won't fall until I reach the top. Down."

Sitting in the palm of the huge puppet, [Puppet] Sandone had an expressionless face, and all that was reflected in his eyes was the pure ground: "It's ridiculous."

It’s just that I don’t know whether this was a lie directed at Dadalia or Knox’s arrogance.

"Rather than the uncertain future, I want to know the news about Scaramucci now." [Captain] Capitano couldn't see any real expression on his face. I don't know what expression he used to ask this question. sentence.

"Stealing twisted power, the doll gave birth to a real mind. No matter whether the method is extreme or not, we should celebrate him for taking a new step." [Doctor] Dotore raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and looked at him under the mask that covered half of his face. But he only focused on the test tube in his hand.

[Harlequin] Piero's eyes were quietly watching everyone's words and deeds. He closed his eyes for a moment and slowly opened his eyes: "The night's silly show has come to an end. You have no audience at this moment."

The low and majestic voice echoed in the hall, and the executives, led by the general officer, lined up on both sides of the central coffin.

"All noble sacrifices will be engraved on the solid ice and will last forever with the country. Under the command of the noble Ice Queen, we will seize the power of the gods."

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to Knox who was leaning against the pillar with his eyes closed.

Knox exhaled, came to the coffin, stretched out his hand to hold a corner of the coffin, and whispered softly: "The world marks us with the symbol of evil, but they who uphold justice cannot stop us."

Black crystal rose from under the coffin and slowly spread throughout the church.

"If death is our destiny, then the throne on Sky Island will definitely become the fuel that ignites our end."

Chapter 34

Inazuma.Haiji Island.

"Heart Sea..."

After calling the name of the girl in front of her, Ying bowed deeply to her and apologized to her very solemnly: "I'm sorry!"

"Ying... you?" Shock and confusion flashed across Xinhai's face: "Why do you want to apologize to me?"

Ying bowed, his voice full of guilt: "The guy who pretended to be Orobas to rule Haiji Island is a very important person to me. He did such an excessive thing to you, Xinhai, and I must apologize to you. "

The shock on Xinhai's face magnified, but he quickly reacted and reached out his hand to help Ying up: "Don't be like this, Ying."

"Then Xinhai, have you forgiven Ling?" Paimeng, who was floating aside and had the same apology just now, immediately asked impatiently.

Ying looked at Xinhai with expectant eyes.

Xinhai was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "Is Ling the name of that person? To be honest, I was really scared when he ruled Haiji Island these days. His ability to play with people's hearts is too terrifying. Even now, There are still a majority of people on Kaiji Island who refuse to believe that he is not Lord Orobas.”

"Sorry..." Ying pursed her lips, as if she was the one who did the bad thing.

However, Xinhai smiled and shook his head: "No, after all, although his identity as Lord Orobas is fake, during the days when he ruled Haiji Island, he did practical things to protect Haiji Island. If If it weren't for him, Haiji Island's casualties in this war would probably have been doubled or tripled."

"As for this matter itself, not only do I not need to apologize, but I should be grateful." Xinhai said.

"Is that so!?" Pamon said in surprise, "I knew the spirit would not be a bad person!"

Hearing Xinhai's words, Yingye quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the guilt in her heart subsided a lot.

"That's right." Xinhai seemed to suddenly remember something, and said as if he was changing the subject calmly: "We, Haiji Island, will be negotiating with the shogunate army soon. Can you please come with us to be a witness? ?”

"No problem! I will definitely be there!" Ying agreed without any hesitation.

......

Inside the black transparent shield, Yae Shenzi sat under the eaves and looked up at the sky: "I really want to eat fried tofu..."

"Nnox~ Are you here? People know that they are wrong, can you let me out? If it doesn't work, you can open a hole for others to bring food and light novels in~"

......

"Sir, we have received information that Bashi has appeared in the sea east of Liyue Guyun Pavilion. Although his whereabouts cannot be locked now, we can roughly judge that the opponent's target is probably Liyue Port!"

Ling had not stayed for a few days in the winter when he received such a report from his subordinates.

Ling was still thinking about whether to go to Xumi or Liyue first, or whether to go back to Daozhi to deal with the beginning and end. Now it seems that the answer is already there.

——Liyue Port.

Ling, who was dressed in Liyue clothes, tied his hair into a chic high ponytail. As he walked on the antique streets, he blended into the crowd of Liyue people without any disobedience.

I really miss it... Lingqing raised the corner of her mouth and looked around at the surrounding buildings in a good mood. Sure enough, it was the most comfortable place to stay here. Is it because it has the shadow of hometown?Ha, speaking of which, most of the things I recall recently are things from my hometown...

Thinking about things in his mind, when Ling came back to his senses, he realized that he had entered a restaurant called Manmin Hall.

Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve tasted authentic Liyue cuisine. Now that I’m here, let’s try it~

"My guest, what would you like to order?" A cute girl with pigtails greeted Ling enthusiastically.

"Excuse me, do you have a menu?" Ling Zhan asked politely.

"Of course! Here it is!" The girl handed a simple menu to Ling.

Sitting down at the long table, Ling pointed out a few of the cheapest and lightest vegetarian dishes on the menu.

"Is it these dishes? No problem! Although it's not my specialty, but..."

"No." Ling interrupted the girl and said with a smile: "I don't want these, but I will take a portion of the others."

"Ah?" The girl was stunned: "Are you...sure?"

"Of course." Ling closed the menu and handed it back with a bright smile: "It's rare to eat dishes cooked by such a cute little girl. How can I not eat enough in one sitting?"

Facing that smile that looked a little unreal in the warm sun, the girl blushed subconsciously, then shook her head and said calmly as if nothing had happened: "I understand, the workload is a bit heavy, please wait a moment." Wait, the first dish will be here soon!”

After that, she ran back to the cooking area holding the menu.

"Xiang Ling, why are you in such a hurry? Cooking is a craft, so you can't be in a hurry!"

"I know, dad..."

......

Ling ate the meal from afternoon to evening. Although the amount was large, to Ling, it was nothing.

Putting down his chopsticks and smacking his lips with satisfaction, Ling waved to the girl who had been cooking for him for a long time, and said to her with a smile: "Let's settle the bill. How much is the total?"

Xiangling cheered up and maintained her enthusiastic attitude: "We have already calculated it. There are a total of thirty-six thousand, four hundred and eighty two molas. Let me give you thirty-six thousand!"

"No big deal, send the bill to Beiguo Bank." After Ling finished speaking gracefully, he stood up and planned to leave.

However, Xiangling gave him a very embarrassed expression: "Um, sir, I'm sorry, Wanmin Hall does not support the accounting mode for new faces. You see, this is your first time here, uh..."

"Then let's put it in the account of the Palace of Life."

A calm yet magnetic voice floated from the side, and following the sound, a handsome man in brown clothes was seen walking slowly towards this side.

"Ah! It's Mr. Zhongli!" When Xiangling saw the person coming, she immediately asked Ling with bright eyes: "Sir, are you a friend of Mr. Zhongli?"

Ling looked at the man named "Zhong Li" and raised his eyebrows slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Probably... right..."

"Probably?" Xiangling blinked blankly.

Zhong Li came to the two of them and said slowly to Xiang Ling: "One portion of pickled fresh meat should be simmered slowly. If there is good black back bass, one portion will also be boiled. Finally, some wine will be added to his account. Let’s record it together in the account of the Rebirth Hall.”

"No problem! Mr. Zhongli, please wait a moment!"

When Xiang Ling left in a hurry, only Ling and Zhong Li were left in front of the long table.

"Long time no see, old friend." A rare faint smile appeared on Zhongli's stern face: "It's still early, why don't you sit down and have a few drinks with me?"

Ling frowned and looked at Zhongli up and down several times, then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him in the palm of his hand: "Oh! It's you!"

Chapter 35

"Oh! It's you."

Ling didn't mean to be polite. When he saw Zhongli sitting down, he sat down at the table again.

"I feel so relieved to see old friends again. How have you been lately, old friend?" Zhongli looked at Ling's brows and eyes, and his tone of voice was not unfamiliar at all. It felt like an old friend reunited after a long absence, which made people feel refreshed.

"Very good, very good." Ling responded with a smile, and naturally took the jar of wine sent by Xiang Ling and filled his own bowl, and then politely filled Zhongli's bowl.

"Zhong...well, brother Zhongli seems to be a regular customer of this store. Judging from the two dishes I just ordered, they are indeed of extraordinary taste." Ling followed Zhongli's mood and atmosphere and matched his rhythm, which was perfect. Played the role of "old friend".

"Haha, Wanmintang is a famous restaurant in Liyue. Not only is the price affordable, but the taste is also outstanding. I like to dine here when I have nothing to do." Zhongli looked really in a good mood, as if he was introducing it to a friend. He explained with a smile as if he was proud of his work, then raised his wine glass and gestured towards Ling.

Ling happily raised his glasses to drink.

"Well...as expected, the best wine is the wine you drink with friends." Putting down the empty wine glass, Zhongli smiled and said, "Five hundred years have passed by like a flash. Back then, you said, Liyue and your My hometown is very similar, so what happens now? Can you still look past it?"

"Excellent, excellent, excellent." Ling nodded with a smile, put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the appetizers sent by Xiang Ling and put them into his mouth.

"...Compared to back then, you have indeed changed a lot." The smile on Zhong Li's face faded and he sighed softly: "I was the one who was abrupt."

"Haha, brother Zhongli is joking, come on, have a drink!"

Half an hour later, Ling, who had eaten lunch and dinner together, walked out of Wanmin Hall with satisfaction. After saying a few polite words to Zhongli, he put his hands behind his head and faced the last rays of the setting sun and walked alone on the lanterns. The streets of Liyue.

"It's really peaceful and prosperous with singing and dancing~" Ling whispered to himself, and then he hummed a light tune happily and disappeared into a place where the bustling lights in the distance couldn't shine.

......

"Have some mora."

In Beiguo Bank, Ling said calmly to the person at the counter who was looking through the accounts.

Adjusting the glasses on the armrest, [Rich Man] Pantalone, who came to Liyue in the same boat as Ling, had a subtle twitch between her brows, and then asked calmly: "Oh? How much do you want?"

Ling leaned against the counter and said in a casual tone: "Oh, of course it's better to go there more. After all, it's rare to come to Liyue, but I can hardly afford a meal. If it hadn't happened by chance, If I become a rich man, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the Wanmin Hall washing dishes and paying off debts. Don't you think this is very embarrassing to the fools?"

Pantalone silently took out the money bag and placed it in front of Ling.
