Chapter 187: Promotion
"Is that her?" Li Huailin's imagination was completely different, this girl named Villanika was actually a magician who looked a little stuffy in a robe, and Li Huailin thought that the people who could be the acting commander of the camp were at least the kind of lively and warlike warriors.
"This is Villanica-sama." Delint next to him said with certainty, and then introduced Li Huailin to Villanica, "Sir, this is an adventurer with a heart of Ruolin, and his honor points can already be exchanged for the huΓ n 7th rank, and he is here to be enthroned today." β
"Oh, that's right." Villanica's voice sounded very calm, and she seemed to be a calm type, "In that case, Adjutant Delrint, you should prepare the medal." β
"Yes, sir." The Delint here nodded, and immediately went to the next room, looking like he was going to get the badge.
"Exactly." Li Huailin just had something to say, and Delint here happened to walk away again, and Li Huailin immediately said, "This sir, in fact, I have something to do here." β
"What's the matter? You say. Villanica still said very blandly.
"In fact, I have something to ask your father, Marquis de Marlindorf, and I have here a letter written by the fourth princess, Fonserine, which I now want to pass on to your father." Li Huailin really has the letter in his hand, it is a task item, this thing appeared in Li Huailin's baggage after receiving the task, and it is a thing that can't be thrown away or traded.
"Your Highness the Princess?" Villanica was slightly stunned this time, because although Fonserine was her brother's fiancΓ©e, because his brother was now working as a diplomat in the Dwarven Empire. There are still 2 years left in the term, and you can't come back to consummate the marriage within 2 years, and the princess doesn't seem to like this marriage very much. Because although His Royal Highness the King announced that the marriage would definitely be carried out, the princess had never met her brother and had never spoken anything.
In Villanica's impression, the fourth princess is a princess who doesn't like to go out, and basically doesn't communicate with people, she herself only looks at each other from a distance, and she never communicates. This was the first time I had heard of a princess writing a letter.
"Is it urgent?" Villanika asked.
"It's a very urgent matter, indeed." Li Huailin nodded, the princess has been transferred, you said it is urgent.
ββ¦β¦ Actually, my father was seriously ill. There's no way to see you now. Veranika here thought for a while and said, he didn't know that Li Huailin already knew about it, after all, it was hidden from the outside world.
"Are you unconscious?" Li Huailin asked.
"I can't get out of bed, but I'm still conscious." Villanika said. "But now he needs to recuperate. I'm worried he's overworked, and I don't want to bother him if it's not particularly important. β
"It's really special, it's important." Li Huailin spread his hands.
"Can you tell me first?" Villanika asked.
"Okay, what you want to hear." Li Huailin nodded, "In fact, the fourth princess was attacked by assassins just now...... Then ......"
So Li Huailin recounted the process of the matter a little, of course, it was relatively simple.
"What? How could such a thing happen? Villanica here was surprised and said, "Someone is pretending to be a princess?" β
"I haven't read this letter, but it's basically the case." Li Huailin took out the task item and said. "If you want to see it, you can watch it."
"I don't know the princess's handwriting. But my father should know. Villanika thought for a moment and said, "It's really important, okay, you and I go and see my father." β
"Sir, I'm back." At this time, your Delint here has also come back with a small box, which should be Li Huailin's badge.
"Oh, yes." Villanika nodded, "It's better to finish this thing first, now I'm Villanica. Marindorf, in the name of Acting Commander of Camp Heinasand, grants you the rank of Knight Lieutenant. β
Villanica said this with a very solemn look, but her tone was still a little anxious.
System Hint: You have been promoted to the rank of 7, Knight Lieutenant, and your reputation in the main city has been reduced by 7.
"Hey, hey......" Li Huailin held his forehead.
"It's your badge." Before Li Huailin had time to complain, Villanika here handed over the box.
"Oh?" Li Huailin opened the box and looked at it, inside was a one-star parallel bar badge, with some imperial symbolic decorations on it, the whole badge was silver, wrapped in copper edges, and it looked very good.
Knight Lieutenant's Badge: Increases all stats by 7% and allows players to recruit personal guards, currently 0/21.
"Personal guards?" Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, players with rank 5 and above can recruit guards, but they need to apply to the military district of the blessed city." Delint next to him also knew that Li Huailin had obtained a military rank for the first time, so he explained, "The personal guard is exchanged for prestige points. β
"Huh? Prestige points? "Li Huailin sweated wildly, he just said that the prestige point is useless, now it's okay, I'm done with it, and now I still have a prestige point for wool.
"Adjutant Delrint, you go get busy first, I still have something to talk to the new knight lieutenant here." Villanika here also said a little anxiously, but her face was still relatively calm.
"Oh, good sir." Delint here was not suspicious, after all, it was normal to talk to the newly appointed knight lieutenant, "Then I'll go out first." β
"Hmm." Villanica nodded, and Delint stepped out.
"You come with me." Seeing that Delint was going out, Villanika here said to this Li Huailin.
Follow Villanica all the way to the inside of the castle, and soon came to the second floor, there are not many rooms on the second floor, they all look like bedrooms instead of workshops, of course, the two of them walked to one of the larger rooms, which looks like the master bedroom.
"Knock knock." Villanika, who was here, walked to the door and didn't open the door to enter, but knocked on the door first, "Uncle McCann, it's me." β
"Click", soon the door on this side opened, and there was a middle-aged man in his fifties standing inside the door, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, but he looked like a soldier, although he was in the bedroom, he was still wearing a long sword at his waist, and his eyes were also very fierce, he should be the kind of warrior who often saw human blood.
"Who is it?" The male NPC named McCann asked, looking at Li Huailin behind Villanica.
"This is an adventurer from the main city, who has very important information to report to my father." Villanika explained.
McCann here, nodded, and then glanced at Li Huailin up and down, it may be that Li Huailin's 20 points of favor in the camp played a role, and finally McCann nodded, "It doesn't look like a bad person, come in." β
followed Villanika into the room, this is a more European-style bedroom, just after entering the room, you can see a large bed in the middle of the room, there is no shelter on it, a middle-aged man is lying in the quilt, his eyes are closed and he looks like he is sleeping, Li Huailin can see the other party's name, Erwens. Marindorff, with a square bracket below his name, reads Commander of the Second Imperial Legion.
"How's my father doing?" Villanika closed the door and asked in a whisper.
"There is no room for optimism, the marshal has not been awake for fourteen hours." McCann frowned and said, "The situation is even worse than yesterday. β
"So strict? What disease? Li Huailin looked at Marshal Marlindorff on the bed and asked.
McCann didn't answer immediately, but changed the topic slightly: "The situation is as you can see, and now the marshal doesn't know when he will wake up, so what important information do you have?" β
"Uncle McCann is my father's confidant, so it doesn't matter." Veranika here said a little, after all, this is also a big deal, I am afraid that Li Huailin will have some scruples and will not make it clear.
"Actually......" Li Huailin was just about to speak, when a moan of "um" suddenly came from the bed here.
"Father!" Villanica immediately walked to the side of the bed, crouched down and asked, "Are you awake?" β
"It's bad...... Marshal Marlindorff's voice sounded very weak, "I don't feel like I have much strength......"
"Please father, take a good rest, it will get better soon." Villanica's voice trembled a little.
"I didn't feel any better...... This is the ......" Marshal Malindorff was just about to say something, when he suddenly saw Li Huailin on the side.
"He's someone sent by Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess." Villanika gave a little introduction.
"What's wrong with Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Marshal Marlindorf's face immediately changed, "Her Royal Highness the princess usually doesn't contact me, is there something wrong?" β
Veranica nodded slightly, although she couldn't bear to see such a father have to worry about other things, but the affairs of Her Royal Highness the princess are indeed a national matter.
"What's wrong?" Marshal Malindorf immediately struggled to sit up, but after a few twists, he still didn't get up, and Villanica next to him immediately handed Marlindorf a pillow and raised his body slightly.
"Anyway, it's quite complicated." Li Huailin said as he handed over the letter written by Fang Serin. Marshal Malindorff immediately took it, but he didn't even have the strength to tear open the envelope, and Villanika next to him immediately helped his father open the letter, and then handed it to Marshal Malindorff.
System Prompt: The A-level main quest for help has been completed, and you will not be able to obtain experience rewards for the time being, please complete the job transfer quest. You lose 5 gold and you lose 400 reputation points.
Li Huailin looked at his package, fortunately, all the remaining silver coins have been deducted, but at least don't become negative. However, looking at his prestige points, -130, Li Huailin really didn't expect that his prestige points could be deducted from the negative.
"Okay, I don't think I have much to do with the private guards in my life." Li Huailin spread his hands and said. (To be continued......)
