Genshin Impact: I Am a Slime

Chapter 396 My Dear Brother
The dawn has not yet appeared, and the sky of the snow country is shining with the flowing aurora. A ship sails away from the dock that is almost frozen all year round in the solstice of winter.

A large part of the reason why the science and technology of Zhidong Kingdom is developed is to fight against the weather. For external communication and transportation, the shipyard has never stopped researching ice-breaking technology.

Now after years of research and practice, Zhidong Shipyard can be said to be the best in Dengfeng in the field of ice breaking.

Pantalone stood on the deck, and in the cabin next to him were the staff of the Northland Bank who were in charge of handling logistics, and the winter artisans who were preparing to repair the building.Behind him were the servants, the secretary Irina Shenetsevna, the coachman and housekeeper Russell Kirilenko.

Since the "rich" demanded that everything be kept simple during this trip, the configuration of this ship was no different from that of an ordinary merchant ship.

Old Russell glanced at the shadows in the corner. In order to prevent accidents, he still arranged several debt handlers to guard the master's safety.

Although the hidden mirror ladies headed by Irina did not appear on the ship, with their spatial ability, it is not a problem to hide anywhere.

Pantalone seemed to have adjusted his emotions, looking calmly at the blue deep sea.

The ship left the frozen area, the temperature began to warm up, and the speed became much faster.

The "rich man" still remembers the day he said goodbye to Li Yue.

At that time, he was almost penniless, so he had to take an ocean-going fishing boat on the way, and nestled in the stern of the boat with rotten fish and shrimps that exuded the smell of the sea, staring at the god statue that was gradually going away in his vision.

Until the Liyue Wharf in the distance turned into a shallow white line, Pantalone laughed wildly holding his stomach like he was insane, and tears overflowed around his eyes, flowing wantonly along with his swaying movements.

Due to his abnormal state, the sailors around did not dare to step forward to stop him, and let him laugh heartbreakingly all the way. The sad laughter lingered over the ship, making people shudder.

Today's Pantalone is no longer downcast as when he left. His face is indifferent and lonely, carrying the vicissitudes of time and intrigue.

"what……"

Russell, who was waiting behind the rich man, yawned unconsciously.

Master Pantalone's meetings have been quite frequent in recent days. As the butler, Russell is busy arranging the affairs of the manor after leaving. Last night, after receiving the notice of the assignment, he packed his luggage and stayed up all night. The body is already a bit overwhelmed.

"Russell, I've worked hard for you these past few days. If you're sleepy, go to the cabin to rest."

"I don't think Javert and Zamenhof . . . would like to see their father so tired."

Hearing the movement, Pantalone turned around, with a soft smile on his face, and thoughtfully persuaded the old butler to go to the cabin for a rest.

"Okay, sir."

Thinking that he would soon see his two sons on mission in Liyue, the gray-haired Russell respectfully agreed, and then returned to the cabin at the bottom.

The sun gradually appeared, and the waves were layered like paint flakes on the side of the ship. The sailors worked together to lift the ice-breaking horn and spread the mainsail.

The speed of the ship increased again, but the shaking became more intense.

Back in the cabin, Russell habitually put his coat on the coat rack. Just about to go to bed for a while, he found that the paper and ink on the round table had moved abnormally, and the positions of the foot pads and the cabinet had also changed strangely. migrate.

This is obviously not caused by the shaking of the ship.

"Irina!"

Russell was born in the army and once served as a guerrilla soldier of the Fools. Although he possesses elemental power beyond the reach of ordinary people, this ability also makes him age very quickly, and he hastily retired after a serious injury.

Different from the few elite debt handlers and firefly warlocks, the individual strength and equipment of the advance team are relatively weak. In order to complete the task and reduce the loss of personnel and materials, the tactics of the advance team pay more attention to teamwork.

Facing possible intruders and assassins now, Russell's first reaction was to call for the lady Irina who was hiding in the water mirror.

The water elements in the cabin gathered and turned into sharp-edged mirrors. Irina broke through the ice like a winter elf, with her hands folded in front of her belly, her posture was demure and elegant, and the blue to almost black sash covered her eyes, but her aura was cold. It's cold and pressing, giving people a strong sense of oppression without saying a word.

The tights under the lady's azure blue shawl outline a concave-convex figure, and the lines draw a thrilling arc in front of the chest, which makes people imagine, but what is more eye-catching is the magnificent light hanging on the chest. Quiet blue gem.

That is the blasphemous creation developed by the doctor, the evil eye.

Irina nodded slightly to the old housekeeper, parted her red lips lightly, and a cold voice sounded.

"Russell, what happened?"

The cabin of the merchant ship is not big, and Irina is tall and tall, and after appearing, it almost fills up the entire cabin.

The only dark place is a small cupboard where spare clothing is stored.

Russell didn't speak, but quietly hid behind the hatch and pointed to the corner of the wardrobe.

"Humph……"

The sash on the eyes did not affect Irina's sight, she snorted coldly when she saw the butler's gesture, the dignified and elegant just disappeared instantly, and her cold voice became sharper.

"Let me hear, where are you?"

The mirror surface formed by the water element suddenly exploded, like the gorgeous fish scales on the seashore, and the deep and light blue and white fragments formed a cage. The polarizing prism instantly penetrated the wardrobe and took in the strangers hiding in it.

But when the shattered light dissipated, Russell, who saw the real face of the intruder, frowned suspiciously.

The little boy in winter wearing a brown hood fell down in a panic in the cage of the water mirror, his clean and slightly drooping blue eyes were clearer than the sea and the sky, even though he was in the cage, he still held a small pencil, and the body of the pen The pattern of the guardian of the ruins is drawn, as if it was sketched by someone.

"Hahahaha...It turns out that Lord Pantalone's housekeeper will be frightened by a child."

Although it was sarcasm, the sharpness in Irina's words was covered up by the slightly raised ending, as if it was just a reasonable bickering among colleagues.

Having said that, the lady still did not let go of the shackles of the water prison. After all, no one knew whether this seemingly innocent child was carrying weapons of mass destruction.

Russell ignored Irina's sarcasm, but Shi Shi ran out from behind the cabin door, half-kneeling by the water prison with a kind face, softly comforting the trapped children, as if Irina wasn't called by him.

"Don't be afraid... child, what's your name."

"This is an ocean-going ship, how did you get on it?"

Wearing a hood, Feng Tong timidly looked at the gray-bearded old man in front of him, tightly clenched a pencil in his little hand, and looked at the floating water mirror. After confirming that there was nowhere to escape, he gritted his teeth and said the words he had prepared in advance.

"I...my name is Toke, I live in Seacrust Town..."

"Grandpa Pucciniera sent me up. He said that following this ship, we can go to Liyue Port and find Brother Ajax..."
