Genshin Impact: I Am a Slime

Chapter 398 Give Your Child a Complete Childhood
The children's cabin is themed with ballads and fairy tales. Since it is a special icebreaker of the Winter Kingdom, the style is also cold.

Near the porthole is a small fireplace, but no proper flue is built, and it seems to exist only as a decoration.Oil paintings of idyllic pastoral songs are painted on the walls, and there are sofas, soft beds, and soft plush carpets that can sink when sitting on the wall.

The shelves are full of glass jars filled with candy and dolls collected from various countries, and there are even a few mechanical dolls that are replicated after the guardians of the ruins.

"Wow...there is a doll of One-Eyed Little Treasure here!"

Toke's gaze was immediately attracted by the doll of the ruin guard, and just about to step forward to take down the toy, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly tugged on the old butler's sleeve.

"Is grandpa's name Russell?"

"This ship is to transport Zhidong's toys to Liyue for sale, right?"

"My brother is indeed the most powerful toy salesman!"

The series of statements caused Russell to frown slightly in astonishment, and then immediately reacted and echoed: "Indeed, Your Excellency is... the most powerful toy salesman among fools."

"Master? Is it brother's code name?"

"I've heard that great toy salesmen have code names..."

Toke Hailan's eyes are full of longing, the tip of his nose and the earlobes exposed outside the earmuffs are red, the hot air from the chimney of the ship penetrates through the morning sun, and the side light reflects the sea surface crystal clear.

"When Toke grows up, he wants to be like his brother!"

The little boy expressed his hope for the future with a firm gaze, waiting for Russell's response with great anticipation.

After the old butler was silent for a moment, a kind smile reappeared on his face, he rubbed the furry head of the other party, and straightened his tilted hood for him.

"I also believe that Toker's wish will come true."

"Let's go and play. If you're hungry, you can ask the... toy salesmen at the door to deliver food."

Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Toke ran to the cupboard excitedly, took out a few dolls of One-eyed Little Treasure, sat on the carpet with great interest and started fighting, and kept imitating the sound of fighting with his mouth.

"By the way, Toke, many places on the ship involve the trade secrets of toy sales, don't run around."

After settling Tork, Russell was just about to open the door and leave. After a short pause, he went back and told Tork cautiously.

"No problem! Grandpa Russell, Toke will be obedient and won't cause trouble for the adults!"

Now Tok's mind is all on the doll, and he doesn't know if he listened to the old butler's words.

But Russell didn't care too much, he had to report to Master Pantalone about the specific situation of Tork and the remarks about the toy salesman.

The old servant returned to the main cabin where Pantalone was, and seemed to know that the butler was coming. The door of the cabin was purposely left with a gap, and the hot wind kept coming out of it, making the surrounding air foggy.

The old butler pushed open the door of the cabin, and the banker from the North Kingdom was sitting in a leather chair and meditating, holding a thin paper document in his hand.

"Have the child been settled?"

The tone of Pantalone's speech was not arrogant, but full of cold coercion.

"Yes, sir, but the boy..."

Russell had just explained to the rich man Tork's misconception that fools are toy salesmen, but unexpectedly, the other party was not surprised, but nodded as a matter of course.

"In the information of the Northland Bank, there is news about the remains of the relic guards in Dadalia."

"Though the mechanical parts are of little value, they are the property of the bank after all, aren't they?"

The sea outside the porthole reflects the glimmer of the morning sun, but Pantalone's gray-purple eyes are like jackals looking for an opportunity to hunt.

According to the rich man's information, Dadalia is the third son in the family. He has an older brother and an older sister, a younger sister "Donia" and two younger brothers "Anton" and "Toke".

The other younger brothers and sisters already know that Dadalia is the executive officer of the Fools and works for the Queen of Winter, but because Tok is still young, he has not yet been exposed to the dark side of Winter.

As the elder brother, Ajax didn't want to puncture the innocent dream of the child, so he used white lies to cover up the fact that he was an executioner.

"Russell, if a person grows up in absolute prosperity, all resources are tilted towards him, and everything he wants is easily available, what do you think he will become in the end?"

Pantalone put down the document in his hand, gently pressed the acupuncture points on both sides of his head with his fingers, and asked the silent old housekeeper.

But without waiting for the other party to respond, the rich man explained as if asking and answering himself.

"He will want everyone to obey him, and he will also want to pursue more exciting and rare things... It seems that our youngest is not as good as a certain ruthless orphanage director in terms of children's enlightenment education."

Pantalone thought of the good things Dadalia did in Liyue again, and his expression became more and more icy.

"Gongzi" is the youngest executive officer in the history of the Fools. He does his own thing, is unrestrained, extravagant, and likes to be praised by others. He is arrogant and arrogant. He is a maverick among the Fools and is not popular. The executive officer, at odds with his low-key colleagues.

But Dadalia also obeys his words. Out of the pride in his bones, he is very responsible and impeccable in everything he does, whether it is destroying the monsters in the entire lair, or going deep into a dangerous secret place and then retreating, or even subverting a certain place by himself. Noble lands can be made as beautiful and exquisite as a doctor using a scalpel.

Her Majesty the Queen once praised Dadalia as a "silver blade wrapped in velvet".

But most of the other executive officers of the Fools are worried that his conflict-loving nature will cause unnecessary troubles, so they always send the young master to a land far away from the Winter Kingdom to avoid being affected.

Being sent to Liyue as a contract envoy is also the common opinion of the buffoon and the rooster.

It's just that in Liyue, thousands of miles away, Dadalia still made a big news for Pantalone.

"Children's innocence and innocence are sharp weapons. They are easily stained, do not understand the hardships of the world, despise violence and crime, and easily regard power as a game."

"This is Arechino's educational philosophy. Although I don't want to agree with her method, there is nothing wrong with this sentence."

"Whatever Pucciniera's purpose in sending the boy aboard, he did me a great favor."

Pantalone actually didn't care about the real purpose of "Rooster"'s behavior. After all, his intrigue with the mayor had lasted for quite a long time, and the exchange of interests between them was even more numerous.

It would be too cautious if the other party had to figure out the deep meaning of every move.

"Since Dadalia can't bear to shatter a child's fantasy, then I am very willing to do it for him."

There was no warmth in Pantalone's tone, like cold jewels and metal on his fingers.

A pass document symbolizing the identity of the executive officer and the evil eyes shining with darkness were handed to Russell, and the inscription at the end of the document was impressively Dottore.

"Doesn't that child like the creations of the abyss?"

"Dottore happens to have several abandoned ruins guarding factories, which were built in the outskirts of Liyue."

"Give him the relic guards of the entire factory as a gift."

The rich man ordered casually, but Russell took the passing document with a heavy heart.

He knew that the doctor never considered the aftermath of the experiment, and there might be relic guards in that factory who were not yet disabled. For a child, these ancient creations were too dangerous.

"Don't worry, Russell."

Pantalone seemed to be aware of the old butler's worry, the silver chain on the glasses swayed with the movement.

"I'm not Arechino, I'm not so despicable as to use tricks on children."

"Find an excuse to inform Dadalia, let me see how strong this last seat is..."

Russell held his cold evil eyes, responded in a low voice and left.

But Toke in the cabin was not as obsessed with various toys as expected by several people. Instead, he lay down at the small table and wrote letters to his brothers and sisters who were far away in the solstice of winter.

"Sister Tonya, please don't worry, Grandpa Puccinera gave Toke a lot of Mora, and everyone treats me very well."

"I also got to know Uncle Pantalone and Grandpa Russell, they are both salesmen of Cyclops and colleagues of my brother!"

The little boy wearing a hood sat obediently on the chair in the cabin, his clean slightly drooping blue eyes were clearer than the sea and sky, the boat was shaking with the waves, but he was still holding a pencil, racking his brains to describe the near and far with a poor vocabulary. What I've seen and heard over a period of time.

There is a warm golden sun in the sky, making the entire sea area float with dazzling colors.

"Toke misses brother Anton very much, and will go back soon, and will not cause trouble for brother Ajax."

"I will take care of myself, sister, please don't worry about me."

The little boy carefully folded two stacks of letter paper, put them in the pocket of his jacket, and put away the pen that his brother gave him, before he lay down on the window and looked at it with confidence.

Solstice Winter is the kingdom of the Queen of Ice. It is cold in all seasons, and most of the surroundings are permafrost ports.

This is the first time Toke has seen such a vibrant sea.

At this time, the elderly Russell also came to the door of the children's cabin, hesitated for a long time, and then stuffed the passage documents through the crack of the door.
