The cold wind is as indestructible as the Queen's will.
She carried the wind and snow, and the area around the Winter Palace was covered with a thick layer of ice and snow.
The magnificent palace was isolated from the wind and snow, but the palace without heating measures made it even colder.
In the dim hall, the only light source was a white silver light shining directly through the skylight on the ceiling.
Under the silver light is a long table.
There were more than a dozen chairs placed around the long table, but only a girl and Dadalia were sitting there at the moment.
Dadalia suddenly received the news and rushed back overnight.
He saw that except for [Girl], the other executives stood silently in the shadows without coming to take a seat, and they had no intention of speaking.
Follow the girl's example and close your eyes to relax.
It was extremely quiet in the conference room, so quiet that the sound of the howling wind and snow outside the palace could be heard clearly.
In this silent and depressing atmosphere, a long time passed like this.
suddenly--
Bah——
The door to the conference room was violently opened, and a loud sound broke the silent atmosphere in the conference room.
Click——
Click——
[Ms.] Rosalin first stopped in front of the conference room door, then stepped on the floor and walked into the conference room with an unhappy look on her face.
"Why did you call me back so urgently?"
As she spoke, she walked past [Captain] and walked straight to her seat at the long table without stopping.
Hold the back of the chair with your palms and pull hard.
snap——
The chair was pulled away roughly by her, and then Rosalin sat down on the chair, the anger on her face not diminishing.
Looking at the silent crowd, she said unhappily: "Can't anyone explain it?"
Strictly speaking, the seats among the Fools are not determined by strength, but the executive officers are also divided into classes and levels of authority internally due to their different powers.
As the eighth seat member, her rude attitude was no different from looking for trouble.
But everyone present remained silent, and Rosalin herself didn't feel there was anything wrong with what she said and did just now.
Now the great plan has begun, and as someone who has taken back the God of Wind's Heart, she feels that her attitude just now was considered very polite.
She was very unhappy because she received the order at sea.
Moreover, it was an order conveyed by the Queen herself - to return to the Winter Palace.
She naturally has to obey the Queen's orders, but that doesn't mean she can't express her dissatisfaction here.
He only said he was going back to Winter Solstice but didn't say anything about it, which forced Rosalin to postpone her trip to Inazuma.
She was naturally unhappy when her plans were interfered with.
The conference room was quiet for a while. Just when Rosalin frowned and wanted to continue speaking, an old voice remembered.
"Be patient Rosalind, you're not the only one who's been delayed."
Following the words, a short dwarf walked out of the shadows. Under his long pointed nose, there were two straight white beards.
[Rooster] Puccinella adjusted his glasses, came to the long table and sat down: "We have been waiting here before you arrived. And you should understand that for the administrative operation of the solstice, my departure
, is also a huge loss.”
"Hmph." Rosalin snorted coldly and did not continue to get angry.
Rooster's words made her understand that everyone present rushed back after receiving the news.
And they don’t even know what it is.
After all, as the mayor of Zhi Dong, if he doesn't know what's going on, it's basically impossible for others to know.
So now I can only wait patiently here.
But not getting angry doesn't mean she can't be sarcastic.
She looked at the rooster and said harshly with her bright and attractive red lips: "Looking at how busy the mayor is, then we must have solved the energy problem in the winter?"
"Not really..." Puccinella said, adjusting his glasses again, and the reflection in the lenses obscured his eyes.
Sitting in his own seat, he continued meaningfully: "The operation of an organization cannot be separated from the cooperation of all parts. The depletion of energy is beyond my control."
"As the mayor, I can only ensure that the citizens will not starve or freeze after working hard."
"After all, Maura's matter shouldn't be something that an old man like me has to solve, right?"
"Haha..." [Rich Man] Pantalone chuckled.
In order to maintain a large number of soldiers and supporting weapons and equipment in the winter, all kinds of materials and energy have been in short supply.
It’s not a hassle to solve – buy it!
So the subtext of Rooster's words just now is that the Northland Bank he controls is slow to make money from Mora.
Pantalone walked out of the shadows, came to his seat, sat down, and said to the rooster: "I very much agree with Mr. Mayor's point of view. The operation of an organization is indeed inseparable from the cooperation of all parts."
"But recently, the plan we decided on in Fontaine has been stopped. And you have never agreed to the backup plan, so Mr. Mayor, we have to suffer for the citizens under your rule."
Click, click...
The heavy sound of armor sounded.
After hearing the rich man's remarks, the captain couldn't help but walked out.
"Pantaronie, your complaints are meaningless. Fontaine's failure was because you underestimated the Liyue native named Ye Lan."
Click——
Boom——
Under the smiling and kind eyes of the rich man, the captain sat down heavily on the chair and continued to speak.
"On the contrary, intelligence says that Dadalia has achieved good results after taking charge of the North Country Bank in Liyue. He transported a considerable amount of mola back to us in the winter in a short period of time."
"So I suggest that you exchange identities."
"I think letting Dadalia control the Northland Bank is obviously more useful than you."
The venue was quiet for a moment. In the captain's low tone, no one could tell whether he was joking or sarcastic.
The rich man had been listening attentively. When the captain finished speaking and he was about to speak with a smile, Dadalia opened his eyes speechlessly.
He looked at the captain and said coldly: "I refuse!"
Just kidding, I am a warrior. Only fighting can make my blood boil. I will not put down my arms and calculate profits day and night every day.
Dadalia was looking at the captain, but Rosalin, who was sitting upright, took over the conversation.
The mockery in her eyes was palpable, and she sneered.
"It's better not to leave such a delicate job of earning Mora to this lunatic who only thinks about fighting. Let him quickly complete the task entrusted to him by Her Majesty the Queen."
"It's been more than half a year now, and there's been no movement at all. It's just so stupid."
Rosalin knew the purpose of Dadalia's trip to Liyue, so at this moment she did not hide or conceal her ridicule towards him.
Dadalia withdrew his gaze from the captain, and looked at the lady again.
"Oh? Do you want to [fight] with me?"
Dadalia's eyes were full of danger signals, and he continued with a calm tone and an unyielding attitude: "Didn't you say you would deal with that Ouyang? Why did you not go to Dao Wife for so long?
?”

Because there are so many things to do, I planned to do everything wrong this month... But I didn't expect that many people would give me monthly tickets and rewards... which makes me really embarrassed... But I really can't update...
Like this chapter, it was supposed to follow the plot, but the emotions couldn't connect, so I had to move out a later node in advance. Rewards are risky, so be careful when voting!
