Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 126 The Best Toy Sales Group in Winter Kingdom: "The Fools"

Within minutes, Dadalia returned quickly, carrying a bag.

"I've got everything. Here you go. How did I do? Not bad, right?"

Stunned, Wu Laowu took the heavy bag, his legs trembling as he whispered, "...Second...Second Brother, what do we do? His skills are unlike any ordinary person..."

Wu Lao Er, who had been arrogant and domineering, no longer spoke fiercely and lowered his posture meekly.

"This expert... please wait a moment, let us discuss this."

Turning around, the three members of the treasure-hunting group covered their mouths as if afraid of being overheard, and began to talk.

After talking for a while, they finally figured it out and came to an understanding of the reason.

As the saying goes, three cobblers with their wits combined can outwit Zhuge Liang. Even if they were incredibly stupid, they couldn't possibly be completely clueless when recalling the slang Tartaglia used at this point.

Three months ago, after Wu Laoda borrowed 600,000 Mora from Beiguo Bank, Wu Laoer turned around hesitantly and looked at the "debt collector" in front of him, oh no, it was a toy salesman.

“This… um… salesman… hey, no, I'm sorry, we can't let you join the treasure-hunting group…”

"Huh? I failed the test? Your treasure-hunting group... is pretty strict."

"No, no, what we mean is that our small fry group can't accommodate someone as big as you... But we've already looked into the 'toy' situation, and we'll send you the 600,000 later."

D'Artagnan thought the three fools wouldn't be able to communicate anything, but seeing that they not only figured things out but were also willing to cooperate with his act, he was surprised and let out an "oh".

"I see. Well then, happy transaction. As long as we receive the money... everyone will be happy, don't you think?"

"Yeah, you're right!"

After Wu Lao Er left meekly, Tok praised him again.

"Wow, no wonder he's the older brother, the toy salesman is so impressive!"

Just then, the young master's subordinate, Felix, came over.

"Young Master, so you really are here. There's a new batch of recruits recently..."

Hearing the familiar voice, D'Artagnan quickly turned around and said, "Hey, keep your voice down! Can't you see I'm entertaining a 'client'?"

"client?"

Felix paused for a moment, then looked at Tok beside him and instantly understood what the young master meant.

Lowering his voice, Felix said, "...Ah, it's like this, a batch of new recruits has been assigned from the mainland to Liyue, and they just arrived. We'll need you to 'train' them..."

"Uh... does it really have to be now? My situation is a little..."

"My lord, I sincerely apologize for causing you trouble, but the new recruits are already lined up south of Lingju Pass... Every batch of new soldiers must undergo an instructive speech from the 'Executor,' receiving the baptism of Her Majesty the Queen's will—this has always been the rule. Currently, you, my lord, are the only Executor in Liyue, and everyone is waiting for you to bestow this honor upon them..."

Seeing that the other party was about to recite all the rules, D'Artagnan impatiently interrupted.

"Alright, alright, I'll go. Let me explain to my brother first, then I'll be there shortly."

"Is my brother busy with work again?"

Upon hearing Tok's question, D'Artagnan turned around and patiently answered.

“Yes, Tok, there are some ‘new salesmen’ from our hometown who are waiting for you to teach them.”

"Wow, that's great! Tok wants to be a toy salesman in the future, can I go and listen to his story too?"

Seeing that his brother was finally looking at him, Tok excitedly ran over and said.

Although D'Artagnan didn't want to disappoint her brother, she reluctantly refused.

"Well... Tok is still too young and doesn't understand a lot of things, it's quite boring. How about letting the Traveler Sister show you around?"

"But...but..."

Seeing Tok's head bowed and his expression of dejection, Dadalia said goodbye with a heavy heart.

"I have to go now, Tok. Besides Tok, there are many other people who are eager to see their brother. See you later?"

Watching the young master leave, Paimon said helplessly to Ying, "He clearly dotes on his younger brother so much, yet he had to leave him behind. The young master's work must be quite arduous..."

"It feels like 'concealing' is even more difficult."

"Yes, it's all because he insisted on calling himself a toy salesman. He said he didn't want his family to be exposed to... the 'dark side,' and he actually went to such lengths."

Seeing Ying and Paimon chatting away, Huiyuan interrupted, "He's such a good older brother. Stop chatting, Tok's still sulking... Wait... where is he?!"

Huiyuan rubbed her eyes, quite surprised.

(What happened? It ran away right under my nose?! Oh no... I didn't eat enough at Wanmintang, so I couldn't concentrate.)

Paimon looked around and sighed in dismay.

"Huh? Really gone?! Could it have secretly followed the young master?"

Huiyuan's heart tightened. (Is this what it feels like to have a lost child? It's so nerve-wracking and confusing.)

Without much thought, Huiyuan set off in the direction D'Artagnan had gone.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and chase after them."

"Okay... okay."

Activating her elemental vision and seeing the blue elemental remnants on the ground, even though Huiyuan didn't know the way, she quickly found the place.

After finally catching up with Tok, Huiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying, hands on her hips, scolded in a parent's tone, "Don't run around like that anymore!"

However, Tok didn't care about the tone and instead shushed him.

"Shh...keep your voice down. My brother is talking!"

Seeing this, the group hid behind the rocks, peeked out, and began to observe.

"...From this day forward, you will begin to fulfill your oath to Her Majesty the Queen, sparing no effort to bring victory to Winter. Like the frigid north, sweep forth; like the millennia-old frost of Winter Palace, penetrate the very marrow of your enemies. Her Majesty expects your loyalty, ruthlessness, and meticulous planning...for the challenges we face are severe, and our enemies, such as..."

D'Artagnan's gaze swept around, noticing the expectant Tok, the hands-on-hips Ying, the waving Paimon, and the helpless Huiyuan.

Upon seeing this, D'Artagnan's serious expression instantly crumbled, leaving him utterly speechless.

(Traveler...why did you bring my brother along again?!)

Looking at the greenhorn in front of him, Dadalia cleared his throat and began to keep the conversation in suspense.

"...Ahem, for example, kites, rattles..."
