Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

This result left Pantalone completely taken aback.

Pantalone's first reaction upon hearing this was that Columbia hadn't told him the truth, but then he thought of the reasons why Columbia hadn't done so, so she really didn't know.

Just as he was pondering what the plan actually was, Columbia added another point.

"I think you know more about 'that plan' than anyone else. You haven't told me, or anyone else, the specifics of 'that plan,' have you forgotten?"

"Even the plan you submitted to Her Majesty the Queen was completely blank, without a single word. If I had to give an evaluation of 'that plan,' I could only describe it as 'non-existent.'"

"But what about you? How far have you gotten with 'that plan'?"

Columbia's additions seemed to say nothing at all, giving him the feeling that this description was...

The so-called 'plan' is nothing but a blank slate, or rather... empty promises?

But since everyone else knew about 'that plan,' Pantalone felt that it was impossible for it to be just empty promises.

At least, it's impossible for a plan to pass simply by making empty promises, so it must not be a plan that's just empty talk; it must actually exist.

Given this, after eliminating this possibility using the process of elimination, the remaining result becomes quite obvious.

That plan definitely exists; it's just that I hid it too well in the past and never revealed anything about it to anyone.

There is no doubt that 'that plan' exists, but he doesn't seem to want anyone to know the details of 'that plan', so he has kept 'that plan' hidden.

He seemed to want as many people as possible to be unaware of the plan's existence, so he deliberately tried to make the plan appear as if it 'did not exist'.

He tried to use other plans to hide his true purpose, which he didn't want others to know.

Based on this analysis, it can be concluded that he was probably a riddle-like person in the past, otherwise he wouldn't have been so secretive and tried to hide his true purpose.

Pantalone was troubled after learning that she was probably a riddle-like figure.

To be honest, he was already having a headache figuring out his 'hidden plan' and 'true purpose', but now not only did he not get the answers he wanted, he also found himself even more confused about things he thought he already knew.

Now it seems that the plan he tried so hard to hide might not be as simple as he had thought, and there must be something about the hidden plan that he didn't know.

He originally thought he could get the answer he wanted from Columbia, but not only did the clue go cold, it also dug out an even bigger pit waiting for him to jump into.

He had even imagined how many hairs he would have to lose and how many brain cells he would have to sacrifice to fill the huge hole in this plan.

The thought of this made him feel like his head was about to explode, and a feeling of suffocation welled up in his chest.

Even if he felt a headache and suffocation, he had to pretend that everything was under control.

After all, this was his own plan, and as it was his own plan, he certainly had to appear to understand it better than anyone else. Therefore, he pretended to ponder for a moment in a mysterious manner before speaking calmly.

"Everything is naturally under my control. As for the progress of the plan, in order to conceal its existence, I can't say much. If you really want to know, I can only say... it's part of the plan."

"Is it part of the plan?"

After receiving this answer, Columbia smiled gently, as if she had gotten a satisfactory response.

"Since you seem so confident, it seems I don't need to say anything more. I can only wish you all the best in your plans."

After the fairy maiden gave Pantalone her goodnight and greetings, she brushed past him, leaving this blessing in his ear.

"Of course, I also wish you a good rest and a wonderful night."

The girl then pushed open the study door and disappeared from Pantalone's sight.

As he watched the girl's figure disappear, Pantalone couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems like they managed to get away with it.

However, after breathing a sigh of relief, Pantalone thought about his suddenly increased workload, which made him feel helpless but there was nothing he could do.

In this situation, he can only take it one step at a time.

Chapter 110 From today onwards, your name is Tadalia (5k)

While Pantalone was fretting and having headaches, the communication between the Fools and the Adventurers' Guild was progressing quite smoothly.

Initially, the president of the Winter Adventurers' Guild headquarters was very resistant to the Fools' plan to interfere in the internal operations of the Adventurers' Guild.

However, after the Northern Bank took direct action, the decision-makers of the Adventurers' Guild, who had initially been very resistant, suddenly changed completely, as if they were different people.

They not only actively responded to the various demands of the Fools, but also fully cooperated with the new policies of the Winter Solstice government, and all of the new policies of the Winter Solstice government were implemented smoothly and without hindrance.

Some may wonder what caused such a huge change in the attitude of the Adventurers' Guild's decision-makers, to the point that they agreed to all of the Fools' demands.

The reason is simple: the Northern Bank gave them way too much!

Yes, Pantarone, the true controller of the Northern Bank, poured a huge amount of investment and financial support into getting the Adventurers' Guild to agree to his conditions.

This forced the Adventurers' Guild's decision-makers to change their tune, since most adventurers are there to make a living, except for some rich guys who come out to experience life.

Most adventurers live in poverty, and the money Pantarone has invested is enough to make most of the adventurers in the Adventurers' Guild respond positively to his conditions and policies.

After all, no one would choose to go against Mora.

On the other hand, Pantalone's demands were not entirely unacceptable. After the successful implementation of Pantalone's 'Imaginary Energy Storage Currency Project', the Winter Solstice government issued a new special currency, 'Imaginary Coin', in the name of the Winter Solstice Queen.

This currency, as long as it is within the influence of the Northern Bank and the Winter's Force, not only possesses the same monetary value as the Mora, but also completely surpasses the Mora in purchasing power.

Based on the guarantee of the Winter Queen and the credibility of the Northern Bank, even if not everyone can accept 'imaginary currency', the credibility of this currency will not be questioned.
