Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 397

After listening to Tork's explanation, the smile on Russell's face gradually disappeared, and he frowned and looked at Irina.

The eyes of the lady with hidden mirrors were covered by black satin, so she couldn't see through the emotions inside.

The city hall under the jurisdiction of the "rooster" is responsible for coordination and guarantee of sea and land transportation, urban planning, infrastructure construction, and factory military supplies production and distribution in Zhidong Kingdom.

And Pantalone lacks the experience of carrying out missions, and wants to use some means to avoid the surveillance of Russell and Irina, and send a certain child to a merchant ship to carry out missions. Difficult.

But what was Pucciniera's reason for doing so?
As the housekeeper who has followed Master Pantalone for many years, Russell also knows that Ajax in Tork's mouth is the winter name of the last executive officer of the Fools, Lord "Young Master".

The seemingly ordinary little boy of Solstice Winter seems to have a lot of relationship with Puccinera and Dadalia.

Most of this matter involved the planning of the executive officers and adults. Russell knew that he could not decide on his own, so he got up and found the sugar cube for making coffee in the drawer, and passed it to the timid little boy through the water prison, softly comforting him.

"Kid Toke, Pucciniella...Grandpa didn't lie to you, the destination of this merchant ship is indeed Liyue Port."

"But whether I can take you to Liyue together, I still need to ask Master Pantalone."

Russell winked at Irina, indicating that the other party was optimistic about the child who appeared suddenly, and hurried back to the deck, preparing to report the situation to Master Pantalone.

But the sailor who cleaned the deck told Russell that Master Pantalone had already returned to the stern cabin to rest.

The old butler had no choice but to go back the same way, came to the main cabin that originally belonged to the captain, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in."

A refined and easy-going voice came from the room, but the tone was obviously calm but extremely cold.

Russell put his hand on the wooden carved doorknob of the cabin, and gently pushed it away.

On both sides of the walls of the main cabin are lit candle lamps, which provide sufficient heat. Although the decoration is not as luxurious as that of the Northland Bank, and the furniture is also very simple black and gray, but the subtle carvings can tell the cost. Not cheap.

"Um...Russell?"

"Have you rested so soon?"

Pantalone squinted slightly to look at his butler, his expression under the mirror frame did not change, and he even smiled gently.

"No, sir, there is an emergency that needs to be reported to you."

Russell recounted the process of discovering Tork to the rich man, while listening to the story, he picked up the teacup on the table unhurriedly, rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips, and his quiet eyes implied thinking.

"Puccinera arranged it personally, Dadalia's younger brother...it's interesting..."

Pantalone put down the priceless porcelain cup in his hand, his voice was loose and slow.

"Let's go and meet this kid."

The rich man stood up and pressed his hands wearing many rings on the table, while Russell hurriedly opened the hatch for him.

The damp and cold sea breeze poured into the passage, making the old butler's movements stiff for a moment.

Their ships had left the frozen lands, but not yet out of the winter seas.

There seemed to be some mystery hidden in Pantalone's glasses, even if the cabin suddenly changed from the warm to the cold, it did not fog up.

It's just that his eyes are always squinted, and he can't figure out what's going on in his heart at all, let alone peel off the gold and silver decorations on his outside to see the heart inside.

Russell led the way, and the two came to the bottom cabin.

Irina dutifully maintained the cage made of polarizing prisms, and the door was already guarded by debt handlers who had heard the news, and the entire cabin was completely sealed.

Pantalone frowned, and the old housekeeper who noticed it immediately dismissed the debt collectors around him.

The two entered the cabin, and what appeared in front of them were Toke imprisoned in the water mirror and the dignified lady in the mirror.

"Irina, thank you for your hard work, remove the water prison."

Pantalone nodded to the ladies of the winter country, no matter who she was, she always had that elegant appearance.

Irina nodded, but her cheeks swelled slightly, and her hands in front of her lower abdomen no longer clasped together, her white slender fingers were clasped together, as if she was disturbed by Pantalone's greeting.

Although he has never seen the appearance of Dadalia's family, the moment Pantalone sees Tok's appearance, he can be sure that what the other party is telling is probably the truth.

Although the child in front of him had some freckles on his face, his blue eyes and dark orange hair were exactly the same as Dadalia's, and his face was carved out of the same mold.

Compared with Dadalia's dull eyes, Toke's pupils, which are half lake blue and half azure, make people feel at ease.

Pantalone heard from the rooster that the reason Dadalia lacked brilliance in his eyes was because he looked directly into the abyss when he was young, so he was inevitably and irreversibly stained with deep colors that did not belong to this world.

"Little Toke, do you want to go to Liyue with us?"

Pantalone stretched out his hands to help the little boy sitting on the ground, he didn't beat around the bush as usual, the jewels on his fingers gleamed under the light, showing the unique elegance and demureness of Liyue people.

"Ok!"

"You must be the Uncle Pantalone that Grandpa Pucciniera told you about."

Although wearing a thick coat with a fur collar, Toko still recognized Pantalone's handsome appearance, which is different from that of Zhidong, and the other's hair color is also like Liyue's precious black nanmu, which is shiny because it is well maintained Pretty good.

"Grandpa said that if you meet a cheapskate... if you meet Uncle Pantalone, I'll give you this..."

Toke put away the pencil he was holding tightly in his hand, and then took out the Mora purse embroidered with the trefoil pattern from his bosom, intending to hand it to the cheapskate uncle in his grandfather's mouth.

And Irina, who heard Tok's name, had an uncontrollable smile on her lips, and Russell, who was waiting by the side, seemed a little embarrassed, trying to wink at Tok.

Pantalone didn't seem to hear the little boy's slip of the tongue, and reached out to take the purse with a smile. After confirming that it was full of Mora, she nodded seriously: "Then, as the temporary captain of the Yermak, kid Toke ...you are welcome aboard."

"master……"

Russell obviously understood his master's disposition. When Pantalone's melodious but poisonous voice sounded, the old housekeeper had a vague premonition.

"Russell, I remember that this merchant ship has cabins for children."

"Take Toke there, and the daily meals will be provided according to my standards."

Pantalone put away the Mora bag, brushed the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, her eyes were deep and deep, "The child is still growing, so there must be no lack of nutrition."

Russell didn't speak, bowed to signal, and then took Toke's hand to go to the children's cabin on the second floor.

"Thank you Uncle Pantalone!"

The excited little boy did not forget to thank him politely before leaving, and the rich man responded with a smile.

"You're welcome, Toc."
