Chapter 269: Your Circle
Bluestone City has an arena, a dueling arena, which can provide players with PK skills practice and a place to fight to solve problems, and there are also places outside the two gates where you can plant flags to duel, and the rest of the city is a safe zone. There are four gates in the city, and there are two teleportation arrays in the east and west gates, which lead to the advanced map and the low-level map respectively. One of the north and south gates leads to the natural area, with fewer humanoid monsters and NPCs, mainly producing various resources and magical beasts, and one leads to an area with more humanoid monsters, with two level 35 dungeons and two wild map bosses on each side, and the boss level is thirty-five and forty. Two of the thirty-level bosses have been taken away for the first kill, and like the wild boar king, they are piled up by human lives, and the killing is killed, all of which belong to the business of losing money and making money.
Shengshengman was waiting for everyone at the West Gate, this was the first time she and Su Cheng had met in the game.
"You're here! All are welcome! "The greeting is simple, in fact, I have been waiting for a long time.
"Hmmm! Thank you for helping you guys get on the road! Su Cheng said.
Su Sushu: "Boss, you have a task, let's go shopping by ourselves first." Where are you going to meet? β
Feng Wu Jiutian: "I want to go to see the career mentor first...... The light bulb is the most boring! β
Su Cheng: "...... After collecting the information you want, go to the White Horse Bar, which is the property of Seven Swords! β
Before the group of people dispersed, Su Cheng also said goodbye to the Iron Lion: "Lord Tie has time in the future, you can go to the White Horse Bar to find me!" That bar is my property. The name may be changed in the future, but the address will not change! β
The Iron Lion sighed: "Your Excellency is far-sighted, and your wealth is abundant. Before entering the city, he had already purchased an industry in the city. This trip to Poplar Town, I have been helped by adults, White Horse Bar, no matter what name it becomes, the brothers will take the time to sit down! β
"Hehe, with your love, there will be no hooligans and thieves at the White Horse Bar! If you come, you will be free for the first time, and you will be permanently 5% off in the future! "NPCs are different from players - they go to the bar, at most they pretend to have a drink, or they are free forever, and the bar can be managed!
The Iron Lion laughed: "Everyone come with me!" β
A group of people accompanied by the guards were just about to enter the city, and the two guards on duty at the city gate stepped forward: "Adventurers enter the city, the registration fee of five gold coins per person, and everyone's household registration will fall in Bluestone City in the future!" β
Qin Xiaoman spoke on the mercenary channel: "What's the matter? I only handed in one yesterday! β
The Iron Lion snorted, "What's going on?" These Seven Swords mercenaries are my friends! β
Feng Wu Jiutian said: "These two guards are players, right?" β
Sure enough, the two of them, one named Ben Boer Ba and the other called Ba Bo Ben, both have earthy yellow names, which is the standard color of the player's name, which is completely different from the gold name of the high-level NPC.
Ben Bo Erba slapped his chest at the iron lion, gave a military salute and said: "My lord, the two of us took over the duty task today, and charging is the rule for adventurers to enter the door for the first time!" β
The Iron Lion said angrily, "I also rose from the head of the guard!" For decades, the entrance fee has been a gold coin, why did it become five when you were on duty? Greedy like this, does the security detachment of the City Guard Mansion want to be purged? β
Ben Boer still wanted to talk back, but Ba Bo Ben pulled his sleeve and said to the iron lion: "Adults and their friends are naturally different!" Please come in, please come in! "These two people didn't know where they received the task of replacing the guards on duty at the city gate, and they collected hundreds of gold coins in just one hour, of course, they didn't want to be poked by the iron lion like this, they said a lot of good things, and also exempted the seven swords mercenaries from entering the city, so they sent a group of uncles of the Iron Mansion Guards into the city. As soon as the two turned around, they found dozens of pairs of reddish eyes staring at them: "Uncle's!" Labor and management have only been charged with 300 gold coins until now, and you two will hack five of them when you enter the city! β
Ba Bo Ben disdainfully picked his nose: "You have the ability to beat me!" β
Ben Bo Erba pointed to the sign behind him: "Look here!" β
More than a dozen pairs of eyes turned, only to see the sign read: Guards are sacred and inviolable!
Everyone was gritting their teeth, and two NPC soldiers with the names of Guard A and Guard B respectively walked up to Ben Boer Ba and Ba Bo Ben and beat their chests: "It's time for the changing of the guard!" Please go to the security detachment of the city guard mansion to hand in the mission! Without waiting for the two of them to return the salute, they automatically stood on the guard's post.
Ben Boer and Ba Bo Ben glanced at each other, and the two of them ran away at the same time! More than a dozen battle flags are planted in front of you: the winged tiger challenges you to plant flags! Drunken Linglong will challenge you to plant a flag! The Two-Face challenges you with a flag..................
Admit defeat......
Admit defeat......
Admit defeat......
"You lost the Flag Planting Challenge without a fight and were deducted one gold coin!"
"You lost the Flag Planting Challenge without a fight and were deducted one gold coin!"
"You lost the Flag Planting Challenge without a fight and were deducted two gold coins!"
β¦β¦ How are two? I'll go, two-faced man, you dare to challenge me if you are one level lower than me! I endure! The two of them were deducted more than 20 gold coins respectively, and they were about to return to the city, when another prompt sounded: "Because you delayed the time to hand in the task for no reason, and violated the military order, your task of defending the city and standing guard failed." The gold coins you collected while standing guard will be automatically recovered by the security team of the City Guard Mansion! β
The gold coins of the greedy W were confiscated, and more than 20 were compensated...... No, plus the gold coins that were exempted from the Seven Swords were also deducted, the two of them lost more than sixty gold coins, and they suddenly wanted to cry without tears!
Winged Tiger: "If you two don't pay back, just wait for the flag to be planted by labor and management every day!" β
Get out! Ben Boer said, "Wait a minute, everyone! I announced the process of taking the guard task, how about everyone let me go two? β
Everyone thought about it, and it was not too much of a loss to spend four gold coins to get a task process: "Say! β
Ba Bo Ben gritted his teeth: "Ask the old janitor of the City Guard Mansion for a job, and you can get a form." You can fill in the mailbox and deliver it to the security detachment to get the arrangement of the duty task. "This product is also a ruthless character, speaking directly on the Bluestone City channel. This not only satisfies the demands of the masses to be contained, but also cuts off the idea of 'receiving information on a small scale' from the masses of the besieged masses!
The winged tiger was not ambiguous, and immediately shouted on the Qingshi channel: "Brothers and sisters who entered the city today, Ben Bo Erba and Ba Bo Ben privately raised the entrance fee from one gold coin to five gold coins!" Do you want to kill him two times back to the town-level map? β
"I'll go, these two guys actually thought of such a shameless trick to make a fortune! They must be killed! β
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
β¦β¦
"The gold coins have been recovered by the security team...... Everyone raise your noble hand, I don't dare anymore! We've all announced the mission process on the city channel...... Woowoo woo ......"
What happened to these two people Su Cheng didn't know, but he only knew that it took almost a week to meet them again in Bluestone City, and their levels had dropped to thirty.
Qin Xiaoman knew that Su Cheng had a task to hand: "Where to go first?" Lord's House? "Two people go shopping while handing in tasks, there is no need to carry a human head.
Su Cheng said: "Let's hand over the Lord's bounty task first." The rewards have all been received, and it's not good to drag it out! β
At Lord Simba's mansion, Su Cheng changed his title: Twilight. Lord Orange!
This scene was seen by the two left hands, the sky in the left hand and the knife in the left hand.
Left-handed knife: "Brother, am I dazzled?" How did that player become a lord in the blink of an eye? Is the player title system open? β
The sky in his left hand said angrily: "It's already open." I guess you weren't online at the time and didn't see it. I don't know anywhere else, there's one in Frost City! Oh, it's right ahead! It's like the male companion of your goddess! What do you think? Do you still want to snatch love? β
The left-handed knife is very ambitious: "I want to!" I just don't dare! β
The two casually recorded the video, and then slipped away quietly.
Simba learns about Twilight. Lord Orange brought back Romulo's remains, and immediately opened the door to welcome the two inside. He knew in his heart that the adventurer who could get the title of Lord at this time would not only be superior in strength, but also in character, or he would not be able to get the approval of the Lord God. It was because he did not dare to be rude in welcoming the baron's remains. Simba, like Su Cheng, is a person who stands in the aristocratic circle with only one foot, as an NPC, his strength is even higher than Su Cheng, just a glance at the remains of Baron Romulo, he knew that the Baron was spewed by the dragon breath of the black dragon, and when he was half dead, he was killed by a sword through his chest. It's just that as the biggest beneficiary of the Baron's fall, he will never make this news public stupidly, and will only use this situation as a bargaining chip for his relationship with Su Cheng.
Simba put Baron Romulo's remains on the table and casually covered it with a purple velvet blanket that had already been prepared: "Butler, put away my cousin's remains." Buried tomorrow. β
The housekeeper put away the remains: "Master, do you want to notify a few distant relatives to come and see the remains?" β
Simba knew that this was the custom of the nobles, and he didn't blame the housekeeper: "Let the black dragon dragon breath burn into charcoal, how can you pay respect?" It's not sentimental! Post to your relatives after the funeral and bury it tomorrow! β
Su Cheng is also very satisfied with Simba's knowledge: "The adult values love and righteousness, and he is really a model of aristocracy!" I have also received a thank you from the adult. However, in order to complete the task, please also pay a gold coin to announce the end of the quest to find the bones of Baron Romulo! β
This task is different from a normal recurring task and is a one-time task. A regional announcement is issued at the end of such tasks.
Simba did what he said. Su Cheng also received the corresponding experience reward.
"Lord Simba, the shop you gave me is about to open a blacksmith's workshop." Su Cheng changed to the title of a senior blacksmith: "There is only one refining furnace and a set of blacksmith forging equipment to receive high-level customers like you." The main business is on sales. I have ......" He paused for a moment and took out a golden peeling knife with a double orange logo, a blue solid magic javelin, and a set of eight jade carving knives. "I have the patent rights to these three types of equipment, and I must be able to occupy a corner of the blacksmith market in Bluestone City! This knife will be given to the Lord as a gift for our meeting! β
Although such a knife is only worth one or two hundred gold coins, it is definitely the latest popular accompaniment to the meal in aristocratic circles! You know, nine out of ten nobles are hunting fans! What's more important is the double orange logo - you can't buy this knife without considerable face!
With this knife alone, Su Cheng would quickly integrate into the aristocratic circle of Bluestone City.
Simba knows, just by Twilight. With the identities of Orange Whisper's senior blacksmith, iron mill owner, adventurer sir, and friend of the priest Shengman, he can easily become a popular figure in the noble circle of Bluestone City. Simba heard the song and knew what it meant: "I wonder when Lord Lord's business will open?" Brothers will definitely invite relatives and friends to come and cheer! β
Su Cheng smiled: "There are a few things here that I want to handle together." The first is the opening of the blacksmith's workshop. The second is the renaming of the White Horse Bar. The third is to celebrate Miss Shengsheng Man becoming a disciple of Mama Teresa and officially inaugurating as a priest. β
Simba applauded, "It's all good things to celebrate!" Especially for Miss Shengshengman becoming a disciple of Mama Teresa, many nobles have already inquired about me, and they want to send their blessings to Miss Shengshengman at the right opportunity! It's just that you don't know how to handle these few things? β
Su Cheng said: "I will go to the city hall in the afternoon to go through the name change procedures, and it will be officially listed tomorrow." Tomorrow morning, the Blacksmith's Workshop and the Copper Orange Equipment Shop will open at the same time. Celebrate at the Hakuba Bar in the evening! I would like to open a blacksmith workshop and equipment shop in a low-key manner. The reopening of the White Horse Bar was celebrated for the first time as Miss Shengman's inauguration as a pastor, and it had to be held on a high note! I have asked the Iron Lion to invite the Viscount of Iron Zhongtang to come to the White Horse Bar at that time. Of course, the leaders of Bluestone City are all old friends of the Lord, and you have to rely on the Lord to help you invite them! β
Simbalio groaned: "I wonder if the two adults of the church, the deacon and the grandmother, will go to the banquet tomorrow?" "This is a key question. Even if these two people go, they will never help the nobles and magnates who have a large number of votes. But if it is certain that these two will go, Simba wants to invite other nobles, which is a matter of ease.
Qin Xiaoman glanced at Su Cheng, she didn't know about Su Cheng's upcoming banquet, so she naturally didn't know if the two clergy were willing to participate in her inauguration ceremony. Anyway, I just took over the matter of raising disaster relief materials, is this appropriate? Simba mentioned the two clergy, did he also remind Su Cheng not to be too arrogant at the pastor's inauguration?
Su Cheng smiled: "Don't worry, I promise that those two adults will gladly go!" Ensure that the specifications of the banquet are high-end and atmospheric! β
It's a very novel adjective, you don't want to provoke the two clergy to think that Shengshengman is too extravagant! Simba's reminder is already in place: "Don't worry, two. The Count's wife believes in the gods, and as long as the two clergymen attend the banquet, I am sure to invite the Earl James! β
Neither of them mentioned the Marquis. No way, the threshold for the marquis is too high! Coupled with the Iron Lion's invitation to Tiezhong Hall, this celebratory banquet, with at least one earl, one viscount, two lords, and two clergy present, is enough to become a high-grade aristocratic feast in Bluestone City!
Leaving the Lord's Mansion, Qin Xiaoman asked Su Cheng, "Can you please move Sister Anna and Lord Deacon?" β
Su Cheng looked at Xiao Man: "I didn't discuss it with you, I'm sorry!" But I'm sure! β
"Thank you! What should I do? β
Su Cheng's eyes had already seen the church: "I'm going to have a charity dinner to celebrate your inauguration!" β
Qin Xiaoman didn't feel it: "Good way!" These two can't refuse! β
Su Cheng took two steps back and made a hand-spreading salute to Shengshengman: "Please ask God's servants to introduce me to the grandmother and deacon of the church!" β
Qin Xiaoman giggled and walked to the front: "They will definitely receive Twilight in a grand manner. Lord Orange! An industrialist, a philanthropist! β
Sister Anna and the deacon heard that a wealthy lord had an intention of donating, and immediately summoned Su Cheng in the side hall.
The deacon said, "The light is shining on you!" This really amazes me: Shengshengman has broken the ceiling of pastors' ordination, so to speak, with the help of God's power. You, a lord, can you help God's servants solve their current predicament? β
The deacon's performance was a bit of a quick success. After all, Shengshengman's achievement is to take over Anna's task, and it has little to do with him.
Anna glanced at the deacon and expressed a slight dissatisfaction, then turned to Su Cheng and said gently, "Lord Lord, don't worry. Let's sit down and talk slowly! β
A few people sat down in the side hall. The deacon still went his own way: "I wonder how much gold your lord plans to donate to the mission of divine revelation?" β
Su Cheng took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "I plan to pledge a gold coin!" β
Several people, including Qin Xiaoman, thought that they had heard it wrong, and they all looked at Su Cheng with a stunned expression.
The deacon snorted, "A gold coin? The church doesn't need alms! β
Anna Mama is old: "Young man! I accept your donation! What kind of praise would you like to receive in return from the church? β
Su Cheng took out a skinning knife again, which was different from the one given to Simba: this was a purple skinning knife! This is a handful that Su Cheng just played yesterday. "Two adults, I will sell this tool knife in Bluestone City. Of course, what comes into the market is blue or gold quality. My gear shop will donate one gold coin to the church for every item sold before the end of the Apocalyptic mission. I will auction the knife at tomorrow's dinner to celebrate the inauguration of the Pastor of Shengshengman, and all proceeds will be donated to the church to help the church complete its winter disaster relief mission! β
This knife is worth at least three thousand gold coins! As a carrier of charity, it is more likely to be acquired at a premium!
The two clergy couldn't help but be moved! This person's donation amount is not higher than Shengman's, but the impact that this incident may cause will not be small, and it will definitely have a huge positive impact on the entire Divine Revelation Mission, which is full of positive energy!
Without waiting for the two to speak, Su Cheng took out a golden three-edged javelin and a set of golden eight-piece jade carving knives: "These two pieces of equipment will also participate in the auction, and the proceeds will also be donated to the church!" "Although the value of these two pieces of equipment is not as good as that of the Purple Skinning Knife, there will be no problem in selling them for two thousand gold coins.
Anna said solemnly, "Young man, you are the most generous person I have ever met! More generous than Simba! Do you have anything you need help with? β
I'm certainly more generous than Simba! Simba donates a lot, right? All he gave was the wealth left by others, and that kind of generosity was called 'generosity to others'. Su Cheng was also polite: "I have two requirements for the church!" β
Anna glanced at Shengshengman, and thought to herself, "Don't be a lion with your friend!" Seeing Shengman's slight nod, Anna relieved herself: "Say it!" The Church does not dare to give people the illusion of divine injustice. β
"First, I ask the two adults to attend tomorrow evening at the celebration of the inauguration of the Voiceman. This is a little indication of me as a friend. The end of the ceremony is the auction! β
The two clergy looked at each other and said in their hearts, can they not go? Who brings back the gold coins sold? Do you offer free shipping? The postage is higher than many people's donations!
The deacon laughed and said, "The young man is naughty! This is not a condition, it is our pleasure! "The only thing that can honor God's servants is charity!
"Second, I want the church to announce the use of all the gold coins for this charity event. Find out how these coins are helping the needy! β
Mama Anna wondered, "What condition is this?" Didn't you tell him? Mama Teresa had already demanded that donations be made public for both acquisition and distribution! β
The deacon was a little embarrassed and said, "When Mother Teresa ordered this, Shengshengman had not yet been inaugurated as a pastor, so we couldn't hear her request for us!" β
Everyone was a little embarrassed. Neither of these requirements can be true!
The deacon also has a way: "Young man, these two requirements fully reflect your determination to pursue fairness and justice, and show your good-natured and selfless qualities. It was extraordinary courage in the face of two high-ranking clergymen who were free to make reasonable demands. You're definitely qualified to be a paladin! β
Anna laughed, "Although you don't seem to be humble enough! But I support you in the glory of the Paladin. β
The deacon raised his voice: "Felix! β
"In!" A tall knight in armor pushed the door open. Felix was not only tall and majestic, but his armor was also glowing with golden light, standing in the position of several people, but it brought Su Cheng a heavy sense of pressure.
Felix stroked his chest: "Mama, Lord Deacon, what are your orders?" β
The deacon made an introductory gesture to Su Cheng: "This is the patron paladin of the Bluestone Church, Felix. Felix, this Twilight. Lord Orange is the most generous donor I've ever met! I can be sure that he has noble qualities such as kindness, justice, bravery, wisdom, etc., and is the perfect candidate for the Paladin class! Will you help him become a paladin? β
Felix's voice was low and pleasant: "My lord, I don't see another quality in him that is necessary for a paladinβhumility!" β
The deacon nodded slightly, "You're right. But he has enough kindness! β
"Gold is not mercy!" Felix's words were a bit of a slap in the face. His status is only slightly lower than that of a deacon, and he has another jurisdiction, plus the paladin's stubbornness is not weaker than that of the dwarf, so he does not sell the deacon's account very much.
"When a blood-stained gold coin is used to help the poor and weak, it is mercy!" The deacon was a little annoyed.
"Mercy makes the gods glorious! Felix, I agree with Lord Deacon. Anna said.
Felix seemed to respect Mama more, and immediately lowered his head and said, "I don't have this permission!" Two, I'm just the lowest level of paladins! "As the backbone of the church, the paladins maintain a relatively independent management system, and the leaders of the church at the same level can only give orders to them on some daily affairs.
Anna said 'um': "Is it possible for the three of us to hold a joint guarantee?" β
"The success rate is low. If I fail, my reputation will be damaged! β
Paladin is a profession that values 'glory and reputation' above life. They are not afraid of death, but they absolutely cannot bear the damage to their reputation. That's a bit of a strong man's difficulty.
