A farcical celebration is over.

But Lin Feng's matter is not over yet.

Earlier, when he was reporting to work, Pantarone invited him to have a chat after the break.

It will.

He was already waiting at the gate of the palace.

He didn't care about other people's emotions at all, and said bluntly: "I guess you didn't eat well at this celebration banquet, how about you go to the Northland Bank with me for another small gathering?" ”

Lin Feng touched his stomach.

Readily agreed.

This celebration is indeed not a place to eat well.

Everyone is arguing and arguing.

If the water is not on you, you can still watch the play, and if the water comes to you, you will be full of gas.

How is it possible to eat well!

I pity myself for being only eighteen years old, and it is the time to grow my body.

So the two left all the way, talking and laughing.

Seeing that Alecino, who was walking behind, clenched his teeth, his face became more and more gloomy.

"The House of the Fireplace" is for her.

It's like private property.

Now the largest gem in his fortune has been taken from him.

How could she endure this breath?

"After returning, immediately cancel the status of Troy Schneitzvich as the commander of the [House of the Hearth] operation, and cancel his right to mobilize all agents."

Arecchino thought.

But now that Lin Feng has been officially recognized by the empress, she has no other good way but to start from this aspect.

As for the deal that the two talked about earlier.

Arrecchino was no longer hopeful.

Now Lin Feng's status is faintly above him, and he has also won the support of the fourth executive, plus Tartaglia and Pantarone, the two dogs who are hindering them.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to get such a bad seed to fulfill that unfair deal.

"Damn it!"

After Lin Feng and Pantarone's figures disappeared, Arechino muttered a low word and left for the Fireplace House.

I just don't know who she scolded just now.

Northland Bank Headquarters.

Pantarone's bright, spacious office is filled with Liyue dishes.

The knives and forks used on the table are not the usual knives and forks used by the people of Solstice, but the chopsticks that the people of Liyue use to eat on a daily basis.

These dishes are not very delicacies.

It's not much more refined either.

It is somewhat similar to Wan Min Tang's signature dishes that are close to the people.

From this point of view.

Despite the fact that it has deviated from Liyue.

But Pantarone still seems to be nostalgic for his homeland, for his past.

"These were my favorite things to eat when I was a kid."

Just as Lin Feng thought in his heart, Pantarone's face rarely showed a trace of longing.

Then he expertly picked up a few pieces of meat and stuffed them into the hollow nest head.

Then I put down my chopsticks and grabbed them with my hands and ate them.

There is no noble and elegant banker temperament in the eyes of outsiders.

At the time of eating.

Even if there is a trace of meat foam, he will pick it up and put it in his mouth without disgust, and cherish it to the same extent as a poor man who rarely tastes meat.

After eating the spicy meat nest in his hand in a few bites.

Pantarone licked his lips, and instead of feeling ashamed, he smiled heartily, "I'll make you laugh." ”

"Where."

Lin Feng said politely.

Then he did the same as Pantarone had just done, and happily rolled up a spicy meat nest and ate it.

Such a move made Pantarone smile even more.

So he put a chopstick dish into Lin Feng's bowl.

After a few polite words, he continued the topic just now while eating: "When I was a child, my family was poor and used to living a hard life, so I can only eat one piece or two pieces of meat during the Lantern Festival every year. ”

"Hey, you probably can't imagine it."

"The kind of days when Mora who works hard for a whole year and can earn even a piece of meat is a luxury to eat."

When he said these things, Pantarone's face was very calm.

I don't mind telling Lin Feng about this kind of past that most people will regard as unbearable.

Lin Feng naturally couldn't intervene in such a thing.

I could only listen in silence.

At the same time, he secretly wondered what Pantarone wanted to say.

"Ahh

"It's hard to look back on the past."

Pantarone raised his glass and poured himself a drink.

Then he continued: "But the poor are poor, but this does not affect my admiration for the Rock King in the slightest. ”

"If you want to talk about the god of the Rock King."

Pantarone tilted his head in the direction of Liyue Harbor and sighed, "He fought for Liyue to eliminate demons and slay demons for thousands of years, and finally established the prosperous Liyue Harbor today." ”

"What a great god."

"I admired him so much, loved him so much, that I even walked with the name of the Rock King."

"But why wouldn't he cast his gaze on me?"

"Oedipus."

"Why is that?"

By this time, Pantarone's tone had begun to change.

There is a bit of a hideous meaning hidden in it.

Lin Feng couldn't answer this hot question, so he could only shake his head and say, "I'm sorry, I don't have a Vision either, so I can't answer this question." ”

"Oh, yes."

As if reminded, Pantarone waved his hand and said, "I almost forgot, you, like me, are abandoned by the gods. ”

"Huh-"

"O gods!"

"I love you so much and admire you, yet you ignore my calling, you ignore my faith."

"But the ungodly people around me can get your attention."

"Really!"

"What an injustice!"

The more Pantarone spoke, the more frantic he looked, and with a slight force in his hand, the glass was crushed with a 'snap'.

Lin Feng also understood what he meant.

It is thought that in the past, Pantarone once revered the rock god Morax very much, and the desire for the Vision can be described by the words "breaking through the sky".

But he never received the Vision.

And the guys around him who have never been godly have all gained the Vision one after another.

Therefore.

Pantarone, who felt that he had been treated unfairly, became the distorted emperor Kuroko like he is now.

"Huh."

"Look at the way you look."

"Do you think it's just the gods who are unfair to me that I'm starting to hate the gods?"

Pantarone's voice pulled Lin Feng back from his thoughts.

I saw him take out a silk scarf and carefully wipe the dirt on his hands back and forth, and then he casually threw this silk scarf, which was very valuable at a glance, into the trash.

After doing this, he snorted coldly: "If the gods are unfair, I will only treat him as unworthy of being a god." ”

"Since he doesn't approve of me, I won't pursue it."

"Since then, I have pursued with all my passion to be the master of the world."

"Let the gods see what a bad decision they have made."

"But."

"But this damn rock god Morax, he really can't die ten thousand times!"

Pantaro gritted his teeth and said, "He is obviously a high god, but he even has to hold all those worldly things in his own hands. ”

"He, he should have abandoned such a mundane thing as money."

"But he refused to give even such rights to mortals!"

"Humph!"

"What kind of god is he worthy of fighting for the rights of those worldly things with worldly people!"

After venting the long-standing anger in my heart.

Pantarone closed his eyes for a moment.

Wait until your emotions are calm.

Only then did he get up and bring a beautiful wine glass again, and said apologetically to Lin Feng, "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape again." ”

"Out of the way."

"There are some things that make you feel better when you say them, don't you?"

Lin Feng had probably guessed what Pantarone wanted to say to him, so he responded with the same smile.

And Pantarone's next words confirmed his thoughts.

"Oedipus."

"I want to make a deal with you."

Pantarone raised his glass again, squinted his eyes, and said, "If you can successfully regain the Divine Heart of the Rock God this time, can you let me study it for a few days before handing it over to Her Majesty the Empress?" ”

That's a bold statement.

Especially at the feet of Solstice, the Ice Queen.

Pantarone's words can no longer be described as arrogance.

It is a complete disregard for the authority of the Empress.

However, Lin Feng did not immediately refuse such a request to overstep his bounds.

Instead, he asked seriously, "What about your chips?" ”

"Liyue's Northland Bank."

"It's yours then."

The conditions offered by Pantarone can also be described as generous.

Liyue's Northland Bank is one of his most dedicated and committed branches.

Not only is Mora's reserve second only to Solstice's headquarters, but it is also the Fatui's intelligence processing center and office in Liyue.

The amount of Mora that was swallowed there every day was that even the Heavenly Power Star Ningguang, who was also known as a rich and rival country, would blush when he saw it.

With such an important branch, just in exchange for a few days of research on the heart of the rock god.

This kind of bargain buying.

Lin Feng had no reason to refuse: "With such a good thing, a fool will not agree." ”

Pantarone was so pleased to hear that his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

And he then said, "There is one more thing, I want you to help me do it." ”

"You say." Lin Feng responded.

Pantarone sneered, "I have already received the gift that the Heavenly Power Star entrusted you with. ”

"In return."

"I want you to help me destroy her Jade Pavilion."

"As for the price."

Speaking of which, he threw out something: "This is the price I pay." ”

As soon as I saw this thing.

Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he replied with a smile: "Good thing, I agree to this matter." ”

Pantarone gave it to him.

It is a shield-shaped badge that resembles the seal of ice.

If Lin Feng is not mistaken.

This is the coat of arms of the Lawrence family.

And it should be the one that Eula mentioned to him, the one that was lost when the Lawrence family split, and the family emblem that matched the seal of ice.

Lin Feng didn't ask where this thing came from.

All he had to do was know that this thing would work for Eula.

Eula is very strong when she casts the Ice Mark with all her might.

But her shortcomings are also very obvious.

That's slow!

Very slow and time-consuming charging process!

If the Ice Mark is attacked while it is charging, it can easily be interrupted.

That's why she has developed the current combat skills of giving up defense at all costs.

But such an offensive method is extremely dangerous.

If she encounters a master like a skirmisher who is extremely fast and has a perverted defense, she will simply lose without even touching her opponent.

The family emblem that Pantarone will send over is just in time.

As for blowing up the Jade Pavilion.

Compared to this family coat of arms, it is really a trivial matter.

After returning to your accommodation.

Lin Feng didn't say anything about the celebration banquet first, but gave this thing to Eula as soon as possible.

Wait to see the shape of this family emblem.

Eula immediately stared, and her face was full of consternation: "This is?" ”

"Got it from Pantarone."

"I thought it should be useful to you, so I brought it back."

Lin Feng sat on the sofa and smiled easily.

"Pantarone."

Eula frowned, rubbed the emblem in her hand lovingly, and after confirming it several times, she sighed heavily: "This is the emblem of our family that has been lost for thousands of years, and I can't imagine that it has actually fallen to the Solstice Kingdom." ”

"The word "fallen" is not a good word."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "This thing should have been brought from Mondstadt by the people of the Arechino lineage. ”

"Arechino?"

Once again, I heard the name of what appeared to be the last descendant of the Lawrence family.

Eula's brow furrowed even deeper.

Earlier in Mondstadt, Lin Feng had said something about Arechino.

His assessment of the tenth executive officer was not very friendly.

Unscrupulous, interests first, she dares to wield a sword against anyone who encroaches on her interests, even the Ice Empress.

If this thing was brought by a member of the Arechino lineage.

With her character.

And how did it get to the hands of Pantarone.

on this.

Lin Feng also said that he didn't know why.

The Fatui executives, with the exception of Tartaglia, are all counted in terms of age.

And Lin Feng is only eighteen years old now.

It's been so long.

He really couldn't figure out the entanglement.

"It's rare that there are things you don't know."

Eula joked in a good mood.

Lin Feng stretched out his hands and pouted: "I'm not an all-knowing and all-powerful World Tree, there are still things in this world that I don't know." ”

Eula smiled and held the shield in her hand.

Then she urged the ice elemental power to be infused into it.

Similar to when the Ice Mark erupts.

The family emblem instantly burst into dazzling brilliance, and the temperature in the room dropped rapidly in the cold light.

In an instant.

The entire room was completely covered in ice, exuding an extremely cold and low temperature like an icy purgatory.

And that coat of arms.

At this moment, it turned into a transparent and clear ice shield around Eula's body.

Lin Feng waved his hand with interest.

The moment the palm of his hand touched the shield, there was a sound similar to that of metal striking.

Lin Feng used about three points of force, and this kind of strength shield was taken steadily, without even shaking at all.

"A sturdy shield."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

But he didn't use his elemental power to try again.

His current physical condition is not suitable for using elemental power, so he can only try it with his physical body first.

But the results are already very encouraging.

The shield brought by this coat of arms.

He roughly calculated.

If you don't use elemental power by yourself, you shouldn't be able to break it even if you go all out.

If you use that Executive's Ice Evil Eye, it will be even stronger.

"This must be the foundation of your Lawrence family's rule over Mondstadt, right?"

Looking at Eula, who held the Ice Seal in his hand again, Lin Feng smiled.

"yes."

As soon as she spoke of this topic, Eula let out a long sigh.

"It's written in the history books of our family."

"The foundation of the Lawrence family, the seal of ice and the shield of ice."

"One offense and one defense."

"With these two things in hand, even the gods of Lawrence's people have the ability to cut them down."

"I always thought it was a lie."

"I didn't expect it to be true."

No wonder.

So to speak.

Lin Feng suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that thousands of years ago, Vanessa's rebel army, after receiving the blessing of the Wind God, had to have Wendy go to the [Leeward Secret Covenant] event, and was beaten by the rock god, and also deceived the people of Mondstadt into turning against them.

What does it mean to be afraid of bleeding too much?

If it is as recorded in the history books.

Lawrence has long been unpopular.

Then with Vanessa rising up and the Gunnhilde family and the Legunfender family in solidarity, there is no need for such a troublesome thing.

As long as the wind god raised his arms and shouted, what waves could he Lawrence family make?

But Wendy just got into such trouble.

It wasn't until almost half of the Mondstadt people had defected that he was willing to let Vanessa and them attack the Lawrence family.

Reasons why he had to do it.

There is only one explanation.

That's when the Lawrence family was really powerful and in shambles.

The vast majority of Mondstadt people were so powerful that they decided that the rebels would not win, and they did not dare to resist even if the Aeolus was present.

If these people who have already submitted to the Lawrence family do not defect, only the rebel army led by the other two nobles and those underground organizations hidden in the shadows will probably have to be overthrown by Wendy himself.

And Wendy.

He didn't want to make a move at all.

"No wonder Vanessa is so afraid of the resurgence of the Lawrence family."

"No wonder the Lawrence family is so torn apart."

"No wonder, it's been a thousand years, and the Knights of Favonius still won't let you go."

Lin Feng let out a sigh and shook his head.

Then he looked around, and then said helplessly: "Auntie, take in the supernatural powers, there are no people living in the house anymore." ”

Fortunately, the construction standards of the houses are high in winter.

Otherwise, when Eula used the Ice Shield to burst out the ice elemental power just now, her small house would have collapsed on the spot.

"Ugh"

Eula scratched her head in embarrassment and put away the ice shield.

As the ice elemental power receded, the ice that had originally covered the room gradually dissipated, but there was still a cold air in the room.

Fortunately, Lin Feng and Eula are also good at using ice elemental power.

The cold didn't make a difference.

After solving the matter of the Ice Shield, Lin Feng did not rush to reconcile the divine power in his body, but stretched his waist and leaned lazily on the sofa.

"We'll go back to Liyue tomorrow, and I don't want to stay for a second this winter."

Unleash the power of the alien gods under the eyes of the Ice Empress.

In case it is discovered.

That's bad.

Anyway, I can suppress it now, so I just have to wait until after leaving Solstice to do it.
