Pantalone opened her eyes suddenly.
His Highness is actually the person he should trust the most, because although he is comparable to a god, he is actually a real human being!
Who says that humans cannot seize the power of the gods?
Who says that human beings cannot be equal to gods?
The one who creates miracles is always by your side!
"Your Highness, I was confused. I should have told you the truth from the beginning and confessed everything."
At this moment, Pantalone completely woke up.
"Okay, get up first. I will save your life for Her Majesty the Queen. If you continue to cry, Miss Ningguang will think that we men in Zhiwin will only cry."
How dare Ning Guang take it as a joke.
In fact, she and several other senior officials looked very serious at the moment.
[Rich Man] Pantalone's desire to compete for human coinage rights from the gods actually coincides with the concept of "human rule replacing divine rule" that Keqing strongly advocates, but it is just too extreme and paranoid.
This is evident from the immense power and high prestige of this Prince of Winter in the Kingdom of Winter.
His harsh treatment of his subordinates left an unforgettable impression on Liyue's Qixing and Bamen.
Chapter 72 The Great Blueprint
[Rich Man] Pantalone was relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief, but he still did not stand up and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Your Highness, you have not given the order yet."
Every time the eleven executives reported their work to Su Yu, Su Yu would issue a new order, either an agreement, some suggestions for improvement, or a new alternative plan.
Unlike the Queen of Winter who is busy practicing and healing all day long, the position of the prince is actually more similar to the role of the wisest strategist and prime minister of the Kingdom of Winter.
"Pantarone, issuing the Eye of God has never been the power of the Seven Gods. The gods are just accomplices, and the original sin is in heaven. What you should hate most is not Morax, not this world, but the throne above the sky. .”
Pantalone bowed deeply.
It turns out that the injustice of fate to him did not come from the gods.
Then, the target of his revenge is no longer Liyue, no longer the Yanwang Emperor, but the sky!
Thinking of this, he felt guilty towards the Ice Queen.
If you tell the Ice Queen your true thoughts on the first day you join the Fools just like you did to Her Majesty the Prince, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely correct her wrong thoughts.
"I will not let you correct your almost pathological pursuit of money, but your distorted world view must be corrected. Remember, destroying this world will never realize your wishes."
"Remember, Your Highness."
"Pantarone, you should be lucky. All this hatred and suffering have made you what you are today. You cannot get the attention of the gods, but you have become an eleven executive among all living beings, able to follow the queen, and be loyal to the I, this is the inspiration brought to you by the wonderful future.”
"This must be God's will, Your Highness."
"God willing?"
Su Yu said coldly: "I am God's will!"
At that moment, the sound of thunder came from the sky.
The high-altitude Sky Island once again glowed with a faint but divine light.
Of course, only he and Zhongli, and only the gods and demons of the Teyvat continent could see those lights.
Su Yu glanced at Sky Island with disdain, and then said: "The executive officer of Zhidong has lost face in front of outsiders. I have to do something to regain my face and dignity."
[Rich Man] Pantalone replied hurriedly: "Your Highness taught me a lesson in front of outsiders because he wanted me to have a better memory."
"Go and prove your piety to the Queen, and prove your resurrection to me. Now obey, Ninth Executive Officer."
Su Yu took Pantalone to the edge of the fence.
Looking from the Qunyu Pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the night view of Liyue Harbor below.
"Did you see that archipelago shrouded in thunder and lightning on the sea?"
"I saw it, Your Highness. In that direction is Inazuma."
In fact, Pantalone couldn't see Rice Wife, but he knew in his heart that this was a metaphor for His Royal Highness.
Su Yu pointed to the other side: "Did you smell the aroma of dandelions in the air?"
"I smell it, Your Highness. In that direction, it's Mondstadt."
"Over there, the oases are like pearls dotting the desert."
"That's Xumi, Your Highness."
"And over there, steam and machinery coexist, and the musicians in the palace play the moonlight symphony; further away, people play in the hot springs formed after the volcanic eruption, and the challenges of warriors can be seen everywhere in the Colosseum..."
"Fontaine and Nata, Your Highness, I have seen them all."
Su Yu turned around and ordered: "From now on, I hope that wherever I look, I can see the logo of Northland Bank. Wherever Mora circulates, I can see the branches of Northland Bank. Ninth Executive Officer [Rich Man] 】, did you hear clearly?"
Su Yu's name for him became the codename of the fools [rich man].
This subtle change may sound insignificant to others, but to Pantalone's client, it revealed huge information.
He, and the successors of the code name [Rich Man] in the future, will resolutely carry out the orders and will of His Highness the Prince.
The core content of this order is to establish branches of the Northland Bank in the seven countries of Teyvat.
In other words, let the influence of Northland Bank be reflected in any place where Mora transactions are needed.
Since the establishment of Northland Bank, it has only established branches to target the gold houses in Liyue, while in other countries, there are only some small temporary offices.
He had never thought about establishing more branches in Liyue or establishing branches in the other five countries.
At this time, while accepting the ambitious order from His Highness the Prince, and imagining a great blueprint for the future in his mind, Pantalone shed tears again.
However, this time it was tears of excitement.
If he can achieve this great goal, he will achieve a feat comparable to that of a god, and his name will go down in history!
His Royal Highness has pointed out a new direction in life for himself.
"I will fight for this goal for the rest of my life, Your Highness."
[Rich Man] Pantalone swore an oath and at the same time regained his previous confidence.
Although opening the Northland Bank all over the continent of Teyvat is a long and extremely arduous task, full of challenges and risks, it is also what he is best at and most eager to do. Just thinking about it makes him extremely excited and can't wait to do it. Get started now.
People worship, revere, and believe in gods because gods can bring wisdom and protect peace. But for Pantalone, gods are not in the sky or in illusory legends.
The real gods stand right in front of you at the solstice.
When Su Yu saw the enthusiasm rising again in Pantalone's eyes, he knew that his transformation tonight was quite it takes time to correct one's distorted worldview, the situation at hand certainly points to a good start.
"The evil in our hearts can sometimes make us stronger, but it can also easily lead people astray. Compared with shaking the foundation of this world, is it more meaningful to have your own image printed on Mora one day? "
Su Yu threw the imitation Mora in his hand into the air.
"I spent some mora at the Wanwenjishe auction, and the proprietress Ji Fang gave me an ancient coin as a gift. Now, I give it to you."
Pantalone reached out to catch it and found that the pattern on Mora's surface suddenly turned into his avatar!
A strange feeling that he had never experienced before swept over his body and mind. He boldly imagined that all the molas in the world would be engraved with his own image. That would be so handsome!
"Your Highness, this idea of yours is crazier than destroying the world. But it would be better to have your face engraved on it."
"Okay, we have already blasphemed Mora, if we continue to talk about it, Morax will probably be angry."
Su Yu turned around and returned to the wine table.
"Since your brother is here today, you should also have a good chat. Although your two brothers are from poor families, one has become the executive officer of the Winter Solstice Kingdom, and the other has become the Tianxuan Star, one of the seven stars. It is a rare opportunity, today After the party at night, Liyue Qixing and we will not sit together to eat and drink so peacefully."
[Rich Man] Pantalone looked at the green-haired young man wearing glasses with a white snake around his neck.
"elder brother……"
His "brother" sound seemed a bit jerky.
Chapter 73 Rule of Man
The green-haired man is Baizhu, the owner of the medicine shop Bu Bu Lu.
"Brother, you have finally grown up."
Baizhu was smiling, and his smile was as warm as ever.
He stepped forward and wanted to touch Pantalone's head like he did when he was a child, but Pantalone avoided it sharply——
The meeting between the two brothers was not as pleasant as expected, and everyone could see that the younger brother seemed to have resentment towards his older brother.
This resentment is not without reason.
In the past few years, [Rich Man] Pantalone has come to Liyue for business trips almost every month, but he has never taken the initiative to visit Bubu Lu.
At first, he heard that his brother Baizhu controlled the pharmaceutical industry and competed for the position of Tianxuan Star in Liyue. As the executive officer of Zhidong, if he got too close to his brother, it would inevitably affect the public's support for his brother, so he never I haven't looked for him.
More than a year later, my brother defeated several other competitors and successfully ascended to the position of Tianxuan Star.
That day when he arrived in Liyue by boat, he was thinking that his successful brother would definitely take the initiative to meet him and share his joy.
However, what awaited was bad news.
On the first day that my brother ascended to the position of Tianxuan Star, he led the Qianyan Army and arrested many key members of the Fools.
This is obviously to clearly show that he is incompatible with the fools!
When he returned to Solstice, Her Majesty was furious.
In front of many officials, he reprimanded him for his stupidity and warned him not to act emotionally.
That was the first time since he became the executive officer that he was scolded in public by Her Majesty the Queen.
From then on, he completely gave up the idea of meeting his brother, and only asked for information about him sideways.
He was relieved to know that his brother was fine.
Just the estrangement and gap have already planted the seeds of resentment deep in my heart...
"Your brother, he actually misses you."
At this time, the little white snake named "Changsheng" wrapped around Bai Zhu's neck said sadly.
"Every time you come to Liyue, he will stand by the window and look at the streets below, just to take a look at you. The reason he doesn't come to you is because..."
"Longevity."
Bai Shu interrupted her, and Changsheng had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
In the end, after a while of silence, the two sides finally found a rare common topic.
"Let's go see mom and dad, okay?"
Pantalone nodded in agreement.
The two said goodbye to everyone and went to the public cemetery in Liyue, where their parents were buried.
Ning Guang refilled Su Yu's empty wine glass and showed her professional smile.
"Your Highness, you are so cheerful. You have just finished training your subordinates, and yet you are able to sit down and talk and laugh with us. It seems that our intelligence officers will have their wages deducted this month, and they don't even know that you like to drink."
"I do like tea, not alcohol."
With that said, Su Yu drank another glass of white wine.
Ningguang and Keqing were very puzzled. They clearly said they didn't like drinking, but they drank it all. Isn't this duplicity?
However, if you think that the man in front of you is the Prince of Winter, then his actions must have deep meaning.
For some reason, the two girls felt a sense of loneliness from Prince Zhidong at this time.
Ningguang had seen a similar feeling of loneliness in Zhongli before.
A woman's sixth sense is always very accurate. In fact, Su Yu was indeed homesick. Liyue's liquor reminded him of the pure grain wine in his hometown.
The wines from the seven countries of Teyvat have different flavors, but the liquor from Liyue can easily evoke homesickness.
Ningguang said: "Your Highness, you seem to be too strict with your subordinates. After all, he is the executive officer of Zhidong, and his status is equivalent to that of us Liyue Seven Stars. Let him review and reflect in front of us old opponents. Just now We all thought he would be devastated by this. Of course, this is not my sympathy for him, it is simply a feeling."
When they reach this position, what they care about most is face and dignity. In order to maintain their dignity, they are willing to die.
