Chapter 129: You, My Soft Rice, Are a Little Hard
The bright moon hangs in the dark night, and the fragrance of roses floats in the air.
"I haven't thought about what I'm going to do in the future."
Hearing Li Feng's question, Xia shook her head, but soon she said in a positive tone:
"If necessary, I would be happy to repeat what you did on the outskirts of Wind's Breath."
"Outskirts of Wind's Breath City?"
Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the three noble knights he killed on the outskirts of Fengxi City.
At that time, they were aggressive and wanted to arrest him and Sia regardless.
But then again, even though Borg Moros was evil and abominable, he was indeed his murderer, and the three knights were right in arresting him.
But……
Li Feng sighed deeply. From beginning to end, no one was completely on the side of morality.
It's just everyone's own interests.
Suddenly thinking about this, Li Feng felt relieved.
I have never been a good person, so I don't need to use righteousness as a fig leaf for anyone, just follow the truth in everything.
The night wind blows and the shadow of the moon dances.
It seemed that both Li Feng and Xia had figured out what was on their minds. Both Li Feng and Xia felt relaxed physically and mentally, and the topics they talked about became more relaxed.
"Oh, by the way, how did you and Elena become enemies? Did she punish you like that?"
Late at night, Li Feng suddenly became interested in the gossip between girls.
Hearing Elena, Sia couldn't help rolling her eyes again.
"It used to be trivial conflicts, but recently it's because of you."
"I?"
Li Feng took a breath and seemed to understand something.
Seeing Li Feng's reaction, Xia rolled her eyes at him, with an expression that said you don't know, and said angrily:
“Because Elena wants to marry you, and when she sees me being with you every day, she thinks I want to marry you too, so she targets me.
If you want to marry her, you must first terminate the contract with me. Anyone in the world can be my master's wife, but not her! "
"Uh...this..."
It seems that Xia really hates Elena. She made Li Feng speechless with her plausible words that she would rather die than surrender.
After pondering for a long time, Li Feng finally asked what he had been doubting for a while:
"I just don't understand. I'm not a noble, and I don't have any property title. I just have a title from a kingdom. Am I that worthy of girls marrying me?"
This problem has been bothering Li Feng ever since he entered the social scene of Storm's End.
But for him, this is not something worth worrying about. If you don't like it, just avoid it. There is no need to bother thinking about it.
"Storm Island is a big island, but it is still a somewhat remote big island."
Li Feng's question was obviously about marriage and love. He didn't understand why Xia suddenly brought up the location of Storm Island.
Just when I was confused, I heard Sia continue to say:
"You may think that Wind's Breath City is very prosperous, and the Crystal Restaurant where the dinner was held just now is spectacular, but compared to the Royal City, these are too ordinary.
Dragons have escaped from the world, demons live in seclusion in the deep sea, elves and trolls live in a corner, and humans now control almost all known islands.
The king is the master of the Endless Sea, and the royal city is the political center of the Endless Sea.
It is said that the floor is paved with gold and the tiles are made of glazed glass, which is definitely unmatched by Fengxi City.
No one doesn't want to go to the royal city, and no one doesn't want to get involved with people related to the kingdom.
And you happen to have a title conferred by the king, and you are someone who can enter and leave the royal city, even the hall of dignitaries.
They like your identity, so they are eager to make friends with you.
For girls of the right age, marriage is the safest and longest-lasting relationship. "
"...That's actually the case."
Listening to Xia's rational analysis, Li Feng felt strange in his heart, as if he was a commodity on the market.
This suddenly reminded him of the dating corners found in almost every city in the player world.
Friends who have been there once said that the Dating Corner is very much like a large auction.
It's just that the thing being auctioned is not a commodity, but a life.
But what makes his friends feel tragic is that the life he has worked hard for is worthless in the eyes of most girls and mothers-in-law.
It even smells bad and requires a detour.
Just saying why you didn't take the public exam and whether you can take the public exam in the future directly denies the value of your friends now and in the future.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Feng took a slight breath.
Because he suddenly realized that the marriage and love markets in the game world and the player world were so similar.
The titles of the Kingdom's relatives can lead to decent status and positions in the royal city. These are no different from senior civil servants in the player world.
"well."
Sighing slightly, Li Feng suddenly understood.
But when she heard Li Feng sigh, Xia thought she didn't explain clearly, and added:
"Wealth and power are very attractive things, whether it is to Elena or to others.
Even yes, it is the same for other races except humans. "
As she spoke, she looked towards the spire not far away. The fire on the spire illuminated two huge dragon heads.
"My mother probably wanted these two things back then, but she failed."
"your mom?"
Li Feng looked at the heads of the Black Dragon Queen and her husband on the spire, then looked at Xia, and roughly understood her identity.
"Well - that's not what I meant."
Seeing that Xia misunderstood what he meant, Li Feng said sarcastically:
"Actually, I originally thought that they might have been attracted by my other advantages."
When saying this shameless sentence, Li Feng suddenly remembered his friend who had gone on a blind date.
His friend had a ridiculous idea to go to the blind date corner and find a girlfriend who would fall in love with him without looking at the conditions first.
The result is naturally predictable.
So, what he said just now was actually nonsense.
But who knew that after hearing this sentence, Xia did not refute it.
She just tilted her head, her eyes turned to Li Feng's face, and then said:
"I recently discovered that humans think you are very good-looking, and praising you for your handsomeness is a topic that Shirley talks about every day."
Li Feng: "..."
"By the way, Shirley also told me."
Xia suddenly remembered that when Shirley chatted with her last night, she talked about the gossip spread by the maids, and immediately relaxed her eyebrows and smiled and joked:
"She said that because you have a title personally conferred by the king, the ladies all want to marry you and go to the royal city to be the wife of an official.
But if you don't have a title, then just relying on your excellent appearance, you can also be like a fish in water among the noble ladies.
Then you will most likely marry a rich widow, and you can also be rich and prosperous.
Oh, and the maids all said that you would be a satisfactory lover!"
"Ahem!"
Listening to his own gossip, Li Feng felt complicated.
He calmed down in the night breeze for a long time, then he stroked his chin and summed up:
"It turns out that I have the potential to be a gigolo."
"What does gigolo mean?"
Xia had never heard of this word.
Li Feng roughly explained to her the meaning of gigolo and the benefits of not having to struggle.
To be honest, there are two kinds of marriage life that Xia just mentioned.
Is it to marry a young lady and then work hard as an official in the treacherous royal city, or to marry a rich woman and enjoy life in a corner every day.
This is really not a difficult choice.
"Oh - so it means marrying into the wife's family, but you want to be a gigolo?"
Xia was a little surprised.
"Uh, this, I..."
Thoughts are thoughts, but it's still a bit awkward to say it out loud. Li Feng pondered for a while:
"I think, if possible, no man doesn't want to be a gigolo."
Listening to Li Feng's words, Xia touched her neck and thought for a while:
"So you humans think the same way-"
"Hmm?"
Li Feng didn't understand what she meant. Just when he was about to ask, Xia stopped.
She turned around and faced Li Feng, saying seriously:
"My mother has stored countless treasures under the Doomsday Volcano. If you help me get revenge and then help me inherit the throne, you will have countless gigolos."
Li Feng: ???
"You're not asking me to marry into the family, are you?"
"Yes."
Xia didn't even think about it:
"Generally speaking, the inheritance rights of female dragons take precedence over male dragons, so marrying into the family is normal."
Uh, is this the point?
Li Feng felt complicated for a while, but suddenly thought that Xia's father was also a gigolo, which should be normal in their family.
But the firelight was flickering not far away, and Xia's father's head was now piercing the spire, which...
"No, your gigolo, it's a bit hard."
It's revenge, and it's inheriting the throne...
Li Feng said, reflecting the firelight shining on the dragon head in the distance.
"Oh, that's true."
Xia nodded, and it was hard to tell what emotion she had:
"Then forget it."
Li Feng:...
...
"Walk? At this time?"
In the middle of the night, in the war hall of the main tower of Fengxi Castle, Governor Pangloss Fell sat behind his gilded desk and poured a glass of wine for the chief knight.
"Yes, Miss Xia returned the coat to Mr. Rhine, and their relationship does seem to be very good."
Knight Commander Lannis said as he picked up the wine glass.
"Hmm--"
Governor Fell took a sip of wine and recalled what happened at the banquet.
'Elena is too stupid. Not only will she not attract Rhine by doing that, but she will only annoy that boy and ruin my business.
However, since Rhine and Xia get along well, then...'
The Governor made up his mind and asked Lannis:
"Where does Xia live now?"
"Reporting to the Governor, Miss Xia now lives in the Crystal Tower."
Knight Commander Lannis answered respectfully.
The Crystal Tower is the most dilapidated tower in Storm's End, only slightly better than where the servants live.
Hearing this answer, Governor Fel nodded and ordered Lannis:
"Let her move to the Red Tower, and give her clothes, jewelry and maids, the same style as Elena."
"Yes."
Lannis bowed and accepted the order.
Governor Fel waved his hand to let him off the ceremony. Knight Commander Lannis was good in every way, but he attached too much importance to etiquette.
"Let's talk business, what's the matter with the Violet Eye?"
The Governor asked while pointing to the chair opposite him and asked Lannis to sit down.
After Lannis nodded and saluted, he sat upright in the front half of the chair.
"The envoy of the Violet Eye wrote that a traitor came to Storm Island by boat and asked us to help capture him.
But our informant said that the traitor came for something in the sea."
"The sea? What?"
Governor Fell frowned and asked.
"I don't know yet."
Lannis nodded slightly and said:
"But the informant said that the Violet Eye called that thing 'theater', and he hasn't found the specific name yet."
"Theater?"
The governor recited these two words coldly, then drank the wine in the glass and said:
"Check again."
…
The bright moon is setting in the west, and midnight has passed.
The game world of Endless Sea has entered August 11th.
In the manor filled with laurel trees, Huang Yanyan quietly lit candles.
Tonight, her father in the game world went to the banquet, and as an only daughter, she was also invited.
But tonight she wanted to communicate with captain Qi Heng, so she claimed that she was not feeling well and stayed at home.
Although it was past midnight, my father had just returned from the party.
Before he left, Huang Yanyan told him that he felt uncomfortable.
According to the character of the father in this world, he would probably come to see me after he comes back.
In order to avoid this situation, Huang Yanyan must turn off the lights and pretend to sleep.
So now she can only light a small candle when communicating with the captain, and can't make any noise.
The pendulum of the brass clock swayed, and the appointed time came.
With the faint candlelight, Huang Yanyan came to the dressing table and took out the off-white clay pot from the drawer of the dressing table.
Open the clay pot and throw in a piece of raw beef. The fire seal orb in the clay pot instantly burst into flames.
As the flames rose, a letter was spat out.
Immediately the pot was covered, the flames disappeared, and the room became dark again.
Under the weak candlelight, Huang Yanyan unfolded the letter, which contained text from the player world.
"Hello Yanyan, the information ends at midnight on August 11th.
Unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to actually strike up a conversation with the kestrel in the Earthen Ring.
This time he sent the notes to the royal city, which was highly praised by the king and had a high status in the royal city.
Although I have met him several times at various banquets and have been introduced to him by others, this man is very shrewd.
He would never reveal to me, or to the Violet Eyes, anything that should not be disclosed.
However, while I was in the royal city, I learned about one special thing, which was that Faranir's notebook was actually not found by Kestrel or even the Ring of the Earth.
I wanted to find out who it was, but unfortunately, the kestrel protected that person very well. I guess only the king knew who he was.
In addition to the notes, there is another more important thing - the 'paper crane' rebelled. "
When Huang Yanyan saw the name Zhihe, his eyes widened suddenly.
Under the dim light, she read this line of text several times in disbelief.
‘Zhihe…rebellion…how is that possible? ! ’
Zhihe is a player at the same time as captain Qi Heng. Like Qi Heng, he is also a Spellweaver and a member of Violet Eyes.
More importantly, he is also an official player.
"Zhihe" is not his real name, but the code name he gave himself because he has a very high talent in controlling paper spirits.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Huang Yanyan continued to read the letter.
“After verification by my mentor and the senior officials of Violet Eye, it was Paper Crane who took the boat to Storm Island a few days ago.
From the items he left behind, the mentor discovered.
The paper crane should be for, what I mentioned to you last time, the lost place sunk at the bottom of the sea - the 'Theater of Sorrow'.
I think it was the ‘theatre of sorrow’ that seduced and corrupted the paper crane.
Because this matter is related to the Violet Eye, my mentor and I are preparing to go to Storm Island. Maybe we will have a chance to meet then.
Final reminder (need to notify players at the same time as you):
First, Zhihe is now a second-level and fifth-level spell weaver and has no powerful secret treasure.
But his ability to control paper spirits is very terrifying, and he has killed 15 people, and his spirit is almost crazy. Players living on Storm Island need to be informed to be careful.
Second, what I already knew about ‘Theatre of Sadness’.
First of all, it seems to be related to the thunder moray eel, which can create illusions and repeat scenes that happened many years ago.
Secondly, the top management of the Violet Eye said that it is very dangerous, and extraordinary beings below the third level must try to stay away.
Finally, an invitation is required to enter the ‘Theater of Sorrow’.
But I still don’t know what the invitation is and what the theater is. When I find out, I will inform you as soon as possible. "
The dim indoor candle flickered, and Huang Yanyan lit the letter with worry.
Paper Cranes, Theater of Sorrow, and Storm Island seem to be in danger, which is not a good thing for anyone.
Huang Yanyan thought this while opening the system's chat channel.
…
Under the dark night, there were occasional floating clouds, covering up the sinking moonlight.
After chatting in the garden for a while, Li Feng and Xia both felt sleepy, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.
The dim moonlight shines through the gauze curtains behind the bay window and shines on the bed where Li Feng lies.
He has been very busy today and he is really tired now.
A gust of night wind blew through, lifting the light curtains.
Half asleep and half awake, Li Feng realized that he seemed to have forgotten to close the window.
Just when he was wondering if he had remembered it wrong, his door suddenly rang.
Looking blankly, Shia stood at the door after a faint "squeaking" sound was heard.
She was wearing white pajamas, with her long hair disheveled, and her feet were bare.
"you?"
Li Feng was a little surprised.
"I can not sleep."
There was wind blowing from the door, and the long hair was stirred and there was a gentle sound.
"Uh... okay, let's go out for a walk again."
Li Feng said and got out of bed to get his coat.
"No Li Feng, I'm cold."
Shia said suddenly.
When Li Feng heard this, his heart moved. He sat on the bed and patted the place next to him, and said at the same time:
"Come and sit down."
