Chapter XVII
"And how did you get away from it?" Little Lori asked curiously, Alvin was now talking about the part where he and Liu Wei were chased by the cyclops. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Of course it ran into a narrow place, but the cyclops was too strong for ordinary trees and rocks to stop it, and we barely shook it off until we ran through a mountain pass."
"And then?"
"Then we went all the way southwest and came across a stream, and we followed the stream out of the Everfree Forest."
"Huh?" Little Lori was obviously very disappointed with this result, "Why did you come out?" ”
"Because that's what adventure is! There should always be a time to rest, and use this time to prepare for your next adventure. ”
"And when is your next adventure?"
"Two or three days, or three or five days later...... Why do you ask this? ”
"Can you take me with you?"
Alvin turned his head and found that little Lori's face was full of eager expressions, the previous coldness, and he didn't know where he was thrown for a long time, "I'm afraid this won't work, you're still too young now, I'm afraid there will be an accident." ”
Little Lori flattened her mouth, "You adults will say this!" ”
"......" Alvin was speechless, this shot was a little inexplicable! Has anyone ever said something like this to him before?
"Or you look at it." Alvin tried to discuss, "When I come back next time, I'll tell you the story of my adventures, okay?" ”
"It's not good, anyway, you're just lying to me, and you definitely won't come when the time comes!" Little Lori twisted her head to the other side angrily.
"Uh......" Alvin was helpless, walked around the table for most of the time, and came to the front of little Lori again, "How could I lie to you, in this way, I swear in the name of the priest, do you think it's okay?" ”
"......" Little Lori glanced at Alvin angrily, and then finally nodded - the oath in "Pangna" is not taken casually, especially Alvin's oath with clear content, if it can't be fulfilled, it is likely that he will really be punished, after all, the system gods are everywhere.
"Hehehe...... Alvin felt a little helpless and wanted to laugh, "but there is still a problem. ”
"What?" Little Lori said "fiercely", "Do you want to regret it again?" ”
"It's not." Alvin shook his head, "You haven't told me your name yet, and besides, where am I going to find you?" ”
"My name is Kolaia, so if you want to find me, of course you have to go to my house! Go all the way up, the one with the gray wall. ”
Alvin: "...... You're talking about the City Lord's Mansion, right? ”
"That's right!" Little Lori dangled her legs.
"Are you sure you're right?"
"Do you take me for a fool? Don't recognize your own home? ”
"Well, even if what you say is true, ordinary people can't enter the City Lord's Mansion, right?"
"This ......" little Lori showed a hesitant expression on her face, Alvin saw this situation, although there was nothing on the surface, but his heart had actually raised his throat.
"I have a way to do this." Little Lori thought for a long time, and finally took out a small amulet, the moment he saw the amulet, Alvin's heart flashed a trace of excitement, and a trace of guilt, but in the end, he still stretched out his hand and firmly took the amulet.
"Click!" The door to the council chamber was pushed open, and a group of richly dressed people stepped out of it, just in time to see the scene.
"What are you doing?" A middle-aged man with the aura of a clearly superior person stepped forward angrily and scolded.
"......" Alvin quietly put the talisman into the inventory, although there was a little change, but Alvin's heart was not flustered, the system's ascension sound had already sounded just now, the talisman had been bound, and now even if he was killed, it would not explode.
"You!" The middle-aged man was furious, but after understanding that there was no room for recovery, he turned his anger to the little Lori next to him, "Kelaia, did you take what I told you back in the morning as a deaf ear?" ”
"Please don't blame His Highness Kolaia." Seeing this situation, Alvin couldn't help but take half a step forward and protect Kelaia behind him, "All this is my plan, to put it mildly, even if it is an adult, there are countless planted in my hands, why do you want her to be a child?" ”
After hearing these words, Little Lori's heart was greatly touched, and she silently grabbed Alvin's hand, and then ...... "Ahhh
"What? Do you still want to take care of our family affairs? The middle-aged man looked at Alvin with oppressive eyes.
"Don't dare." Alvin's expression was calm, as if he couldn't feel the man's power and the pain in his hands at all, "It's just that the king humiliated the minister's death, and I can't watch His Highness Klaya suffer an injustice." ”
"Do you know what that amulet means?" The middle-aged man's heart was shocked more than the sum of the previous period.
"There is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone such a major event, you say yes, Lord of the City."
"......" The middle-aged man's face darkened, although Alvin's tone was very respectful, but what he said was disrespectful, the man hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Someone! Take this thief down for me! ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, the two guards next to him approached Alvin, originally in the realm of the Holy See, he didn't want to use force, but Alvin's behavior really made him intolerable.
"Wait a minute!" Alvin shouted that although he was not very afraid of death, if he was really taken away and locked up in prison for five or six days, then he would want to cry without tears, and now this situation must be stopped by finding a way.
"Is there anything else you want to quibble?"
"I just wanted to ask, since you don't want this thing to get out, then why did you give it to His Highness Kleeya?"
"It's not that I don't want it to go out, it's just that I can't tolerate it falling into the hands of some tiny people, you know?" The middle-aged man was furious.
"Then dare to ask, in the eyes of the city lord, what kind of talent is not considered small?"
"Humph!" The middle-aged man glanced at Alvin disdainfully, revealing that although Alvin's strength seemed to be good, there was still a big gap compared to his standards.
"......" Alvin smiled, of course he understood what the other party meant, but he felt that he was not without room to fight for it, "Lord City, I have something, you must take a look." ”
……
……
When he came out of the church, Alvin walked at the end of the city lord's group, although it was the end, but it was fundamentally different from being escorted. After some negotiations, Alvin reluctantly obtained the approval of the lord of Fedeos City at the cost of the ownership of the copy of the "Golden Mine". At this point, Alvin's plan finally came to an end with success as the result.
Alvin took great pains and handed over the ownership of the copy, and the talisman he finally got was certainly not an ordinary item.
Knight's coat of arms (Koraiya Asy). A simple word, but the things represented are not simple, the city lord of Fedeos City once gave each of his four children a token, so that they can go to the development of players in the city, as a few days passed, the two sons and a daughter of the city lord of Yaxu signed contracts with the presidents of several large guilds, except for his little daughter who did not ask about the world, and still held the last token in her hand, this token, the real guild felt that it was chicken ribs, and the smaller guild wanted to take it but couldn't get it, Now that Alvin seized the opportunity and got it in his hands, the price of just the ownership of a copy is really nothing compared to this talisman.
Of course, since it is a token, its value obviously does not lie in itself, in fact, it is a status symbol, and the reason why the city lord of Yaxu set up this thing is very simple. First of all, the rise of Inhumans (players) is inevitable, and as the game progresses, the player's reputation continues to increase, so what happens when the reputation reaches a certain level? The answer is obvious, to add officials to knighthood. But the question arises again, if the player has a certain reputation, you can canonize him as a knight, and then go one step further, become a nobleman, but what about when he becomes the top nobleman and has made great achievements? Give him the liege's place? This is obviously impossible. In order to avoid this situation, many lords and players have made a contract to make them their direct subordinates, so that no matter what achievements the subordinates make, his superiors will definitely be considered meritorious, and if you increase your prestige, I will also rise, and I will always be a head above you, to put it bluntly, it is just the exploitation of laborers by the feudal class! However, even if this kind of exploitation is still undesirable for players, take Alvin as an example, if he chooses to sell the ownership of the copy directly, he can get two or three hundred gold coins, but he has now become a knight under Kelaia, and he will get 50 gold coins every month, although the gold coins will definitely depreciate in the future, but even those additional benefits, Alvin is definitely sure to make a profit.
"I'm leaving." At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Alvin crouched down and said to Kelaia.
"Don't talk to me, you big badge!" Little Lori pouted, obviously still angry at Alvin for lying to her.
"Okay, okay, it's me who was wrong, can I apologize to you?"
Boom! Little Lori angrily punched Alvin in the shoulder.
Alvin smiled gently, and if he can still be angry with himself, it means that there is room for forgiveness, child! It's hard to be as desperate as an adult, under Alvin's sugar-coated cannonball, he really couldn't last long, which made Alvin feel relieved at the same time, but at this time, it would be hypocritical to say anything about guilt, Alvin could only silently swear that he would not live up to the token in his hand.
"Don't forget what you promised me!"
"Don't worry, you won't forget."
