Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 125 The Best Toy Salesman in Winter Country

"Found him, young master is over there."

After arriving at Qingxupu, the group looked in the direction Paimon was pointing and saw D'Artagnan and two people dressed as members of a treasure-hunting gang seemingly exchanging information...

"You...should know why I'm here, right?"

"D'Artagnan looked at the three seemingly frail members of the treasure-hunting group in front of him and said..."

The thief gang's "Old Wu the Second" crossed his arms and clicked his tongue in disdain.

"Quite the boast, actually expecting us to guess?"

After glancing at the stranger in front of him, Wu Lao Er was very disdainful, because Dadalia looked to be only 18 to 24 years old, and was dressed like a young master.

"If you want to join us, let me be frank: someone like you with your playboy looks will never be welcome."

Looking at the arrogant, foolish thief in front of him, D'Artagnan lowered his head slightly, suppressing a hint of murderous intent in his heart.

"Heh... You have quite the imagination... In the name of the Winter Queen, I forgive your ignorance, you country bumpkins. Now, listen to my name—"

Just as D'Artagnan was about to say, "D'Artagnan, the last executor of the Fools," a pure and familiar little boy's voice suddenly entered his ears.

"elder brother!"

Upon hearing the voice, D'Artagnan's pupils dilated, and joy involuntarily radiated from his heart. However, upon glancing at the group of thieves before him, his joy instantly turned into tension.

"Is my brother selling toys to them?! Wow...that's amazing! I've been wanting to see him work for so long!"

His gaze shifted back and forth between Tok and the treasure-hunting group. The young master, troubled and embarrassed, could only continue, "...My name—is... um..."

At this point, D'Artagnan was completely devastated.

This is not something that can be easily solved by bluffing; it's a matter of D'Artagnan's reputation!

Having lost face in front of Ying, Paimon, and Hunyuan, and having to take care of his younger brother while also dealing with two troublesome treasure-hunting groups, D'Artagnan's mind had gone through countless twists and turns.

Should he save face, take care of his family, or deal with the heist gang? After hesitating for 0.01 seconds, he chose his family.

"Uh...the best toy salesman in Winter Kingdom!"

As he spoke, Dadalia raised his right fist and struck a cool pose.

Seeing this, Paimon, Ying, and Huiyuan couldn't help but laugh! Luckily they managed to hold it in, otherwise... Dadalia's face would have been ruined forever.

Looking at his handsome older brother, Tok excitedly gave him a thumbs up.

"So cool!"

Wu Lao Er, a member of the treasure-stealing gang, was completely bewildered.

If you look closely into his eyes, you'll see a hint of confusion, a touch of bewilderment, and a dash of hesitation.

Skinny Wu Laowu looked completely bewildered, like a giraffe putting on makeup—he was utterly baffled.

"I feel like our treasure-hunting group is being looked down upon..."

Ignoring what the fifth brother said, D'Artagnan reacted quickly and started using slang.

"...So, are you going to buy it or not? The toy was produced in the Winter Kingdom three months ago, and the price is... 600,000 Mora, payable in full at once."

How could a mere band of thieves possibly understand what D'Artagnan meant? If they were that smart, why would they be a band of thieves?

Upon hearing the price of the toy, Wu Laoqi, who usually didn't stutter, was shocked and began to stutter.

"W-what toy? How much does it cost???"

Wu Lao Er chuckled twice and said provocatively, "Are you trying to use this money to fix your brain?"

After the second brother finished speaking, the entire group of thieves burst into laughter.

Tok was so naive; looking at the laughing people, he boasted to Ying about his brother.

"See, wherever toy salespeople are, they bring joy to everyone!"

D'Artagnan frowned, staring at the three people who were mocking him.

If it weren't for Tok, the three of them would already be cut into pieces of meat by now.

Helpless, he had no choice but to suppress his murderous intent and repeat the coded language he had just used.

"...I'll say it again, Winter Toys, three months ago, 600,000 Mora, paid in full at once."

How could the thieves, with their limited understanding, possibly connect this to the story of the Fools?

Seeing the look in Tadalia's eyes, Wu Lao Er glared back.

"Hahaha...this...salesman, the same joke won't be funny if you tell it twice. Or are you just here to get beaten up?"

After glancing at her younger brother and calming herself down a bit, D'Artagnan said amiably, "Well... how about this? I'll join your treasure-hunting group, and then, since we're accomplices, would you be willing to pay me?"

"Oh ho...this is getting more and more outrageous. Do you think you can just come and join a treasure-hunting crew like that? You should first consider whether you're even qualified..."

"Hehe...then I'd like to ask you 'seniors' to give me a chance to prove myself. I do believe I have some talent when it comes to treasure hunting."

D'Artagnan spoke very kindly, and Wu Lao Er, seeing this, also put away his bad temper.

"Hmph... I see you're determined to keep going until you hit a brick wall. Fine, fine, let's see what you're made of... To be honest, we're camping here because we discovered a treasure trove nearby. But the treasure chest is hard to get, and we've been racking our brains for the past two days. If you're so capable, take the treasure right in front of us. Of course, if you do, the treasure is ours, so don't even think about running away..."

Seeing that he could resolve the matter without revealing his identity, D'Artagnan dusted off his clothes and prepared for his workout.

"Is this like a 'recruitment test'? Interesting... It's been a long time since I've experienced being evaluated by someone."

"My darling is on the cliff opposite, and we're here ready to watch your 'show'..."

"No problem, but you guys have to keep a close eye on things and don't blink."

After saying that, the young master ran out at superhuman speed.

To avoid arousing suspicion from his younger brother, D'Artagnan took a longer route instead of jumping directly over the 100-meter cliff.

Wu Lao Er looked completely bewildered.

(Where did he go? How did he disappear? I'm such a big person, where am I?)

Wu Lao Er, who had initially been dismissive, looked in the direction the smoke was dissipating but still couldn't see Dadalia's figure, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

(This...so fast?! God, a god!)

Wu Laoqi, who had been giving Tadalia the middle finger, also realized that something was wrong.

(Are you... sure this is a toy salesperson?)
