Chapter 15: The Bastard of Finney City
"Your Excellency the Magician, if you don't mind, can we join your conversation?" the man in black at the front lifted his hood to reveal his true face, purple hair in a shawl, and a young face whose childishness had not yet faded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ao Xingfeng raised his head and looked at it, and said calmly: "It's okay, but I don't think we have anything to talk about." Will smiled and didn't care, took a bench and sat down against the table.
"Introduce myself, my name is Khormir Slav Weir, and I have a slight connection with the lord of this city. Will said with a smile, the other two were an adult male Actually, a young woman, the two of them stood behind Will with serious expressions, they should be guards or something, right?
"I wonder what Mr. Will, who has a slight connection with the lord of the city, wants to talk to us about?" asked Diamas, jokingly.
Will looked at Diamas and smiled, "It depends on what the two of you need, if it is within my ability, I am very willing to help." He said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
Just as Diamas was about to say something, Ao Xingfeng raised his hand and gestured and said, "We are very grateful for Mr. Will's enthusiasm, and I think that if I can get Mr. Will's help, then my needs will be met soon." ”
"Oh, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can, I'll help!" Will said with interest.
Casually looking at the mercenaries around him, Ao Xingfeng said: "But for now, we are not willing to accept the help of others, although I am very grateful to Mr. Will for coming to talk to our group, but please give us a little time to think about it." ”
Will's look of disappointment flashed, and then he said, "If that's the case, then we won't bother Your Excellency the Magician, but if Your Excellency Wizard has figured it out, you can find me in the mercenary garrison in Finney City." Excuse me. With that, Will put his hood back on, and the two guards followed him out of the tavern.
Diamas frowned and asked, "Xingfeng, why don't you accept his help? If we get his help, we can go to Slinkana more quickly and find your fellow villagers." ”
Shaking his head, he sighed and said, "You have also heard his surname, and I don't really want to get involved in the whirlpool of power struggles among the nobles for the time being." ”
After a while, the door to the tavern was pushed open, and a Finney City officer and several soldiers in knight's armor walked in. "I heard someone tell me that there was a magician here, and where has he been now?" the officer asked loudly, and several of the mercenaries pointed to Ao Xingfeng's table, and the officer looked at Ao Xingfeng and Diamas, strolling around.
"Excuse me, may I ask who is the magician?" the officer asked with a salute.
Ao Xingfeng stood up and said, "I am, what are you doing?" The officer looked at Ao Xingfeng and bowed and said, "If Lord Magician has a face, can you come with us to the City Lord's Mansion as a guest?" ”
Ao Xingfeng frowned, he hated this kind of saying that the ducks were put on the shelves, what is a face, so if I don't go, I won't give face? Then if I don't give you face, do you still have to invite me to be a guest in the prison? But he didn't want to have more rights and wrongs, Ao Xingfeng replied: "Lead the way." ”
The two of them, led by the knightly officer, came to a mansion in the east of Finney City, and the officer walked to the door of the mansion and stopped, and said to the guards outside the door, "This is the rumored magician, and the other is his entourage." ”
The guard looked at Ao Xingfeng and nodded, and said, "Please come with me." When the officer saw the two men enter the mansion, he turned around and left with his men.
After passing through the entrance hall and up the second floor, after a long aisle, the guard knocked on the door of one of the rooms.
"Please come in. A very pleasant girl's voice came from inside the room.
"Who are the two?" asked the girl, who looked like a country and a city, and the guard walked over and whispered the identities of Ao Xingfeng and Diamas.
"Rude, Your Excellency the Magician, my name is Homir Fabiln Tia, and it was my fault that I was not able to come to meet Your Excellency in person, and I am very grateful to Your Excellency the Magician for accepting my presumptuous invitation. Tia's speech and demeanor revealed the family's heritage, and put herself in a very humble position, which made people sound very comfortable.
"After all, Count Homir, my name is Ao Xingfeng, and this is my companion Diamas. Ao Xingfeng bent down and said.
"I'm very sorry Lord Diamas, but it was a remiss of our duty not to ask for identity. Tia bent down to apologize.
Diamas scratched his head and laughed, "It's okay, it's okay, beautiful women are always privileged, hahaha." He said with a grin.
"Hehe, this companion of the Wizard is really an interesting man. Tia covered her mouth and chuckled, and a light breeze blew in from the window, carrying the girl's fragrance on Ao Xingfeng's face.
"Don't be polite to Count Homir, just call me Ao Xingfeng. "The conversation with the beautiful girl is always pleasant, the previous sulking is swept away, and Tia is very good at resolving the resentment in Ao Xingfeng's heart.
"Then Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng doesn't have to be restrained, just call me Tia. After a short conversation, Tia narrowed the distance between her and Ao Xingfeng, and her unhurried actions seemed very natural.
"It's really rude, let Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng and Your Excellency Diamas stand here and talk to me, please come with me. After Tia finished speaking, she led the two to the reception room on the first floor.
The reception room is very spacious, there is a small water spring in the middle of the hall, surrounded by all kinds of plants and sculptures, the reception room is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling large glass, through the glass you can also see the garden in the courtyard, green trees and lawns, and some small animals playing in it, and the open windows blow in a warm breeze, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Tia led the two of them to sit down on the leather couch beside the fountain, and ordered the maid to bring fresh fruit and place it around the stone platform of the fountain.
"Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng, what do you think of Finney City on the way to and from the mansion?" asked Lady Tia, sitting on the sofa opposite the two of them.
Diamas buried his head and desperately stuffed the fruit into his bulging mouth, Ao Xingfeng looked at Tia and said: "On the way back, I saw two robberies, and the faces of the people I saw along the way were full of melancholy, and the refugees poured into all parts of the city, to be honest, all I saw was chaos. ”
Tia frowned two willow eyebrows and said with a sad expression: " Yes, at that time, the vassals tried their best to prevent me from accommodating all the refugees, I followed my father's will, helped the people of the Malei Kingdom, personally issued an order to open the gate of Fenni City, and let all the refugees crowded outside, but not only did it not help the refugees, even the original residents of Finney City also suffered a lot of damage, everyone in Finney City tolerated my childish behavior, and silently endured the harm I brought to them, Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng, is what I did really wrong?"
"In essence, you are completely right, Count Tia, your every move is completely merciful, but the only thing you did wrong is that you did not make the next arrangements for the refugees, and after they consumed the food they brought with them when they fled, they had to find work in the city, but there were more people and less work, which caused fierce competition to break out among the refugees, and for those who were hopeless in competition, they were forced to survive and had no choice but to commit crimes. Ao Xingfeng shook his head and said.
"Since I insisted on going my own way, after countless suggestions from a number of vassals, I have not been able to make progress in anything, I have long thought about establishing refugee camps and arranging things for refugees, but the vassals obstruct me everywhere, they don't care about the life or death of the people, and they oppose me everywhere. I'm weak now, and I've heard of a bastard in the mob who calls himself the heir of Homir. Tia said with her head down.
"Count Tia, can you tell us what you're inviting us for?" said Ao Xingfeng, looking at Tia.
"Your Excellency the Magician, please help me and the people of Finney City. Tia knelt in front of Ao Xingfeng and said, Diamas, who was eating in the sea on the side, was stunned, what was the situation?
"I'm not as strong as you think, Count Tia, how can I help the people of Finney City?" Ao Xingfeng helped Tia who was kneeling in front of him, and the girl's fragrance came to his face, and he helped Tia up, and his hands recalled the soft and boneless arms just now.
"Xingfeng, help her, look at her pitiful appearance, it makes me feel so distressed, can you hide it from her? Like a woman, Diamas took Ao Xingfeng's right hand and coquettishly.
"You disgusting oblivion, how dare I travel with you like this, hey, goosebumps all over my body. Ao Xingfeng knocked Diamas aside, rubbing his hands on his arms.
After listening to Diamas's words, Tia's eyebrows lit up and she said firmly: "I didn't expect Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng to be a great magician, I was disrespectful, but in this way, Your Excellency Ao Xingfeng can definitely save the people of Fenni City!
"Don't call me like a demon, so be it, I'll help you for three days, no more, just three days! Ao Xingfeng said with a struggling expression.
After hearing this, Tia hurriedly grabbed Ao Xingfeng's hands, "Thank you, thank you, no matter how it develops afterwards, when the three days come, you can leave at any time, and you can ask me anything." She said gratefully, but she didn't realize what her words would be distorted to others.
Diamas looked at Ao Xingfeng with ambiguous eyes on the side, as if he wanted to say that you kid is really blessed, such a villain who has captivated the country and the city is willing to sacrifice himself for you to enjoy. "What are you thinking, you XX guy!" Ao Xingfeng punched Diamas's underbeaten face in a panic.
"Miss Tia, how can you sacrifice yourself like this, if the master were alive, he would never allow you to do so!" the personal maid behind Tia begged.
"Finney City is a father's effort, and it is our duty as children to protect the treasures of our elders. Don't persuade me, Mary. Tia shook her head and said.
Suddenly, Ao Xingfeng and the two, who were originally in a mess, looked at this beautiful girl between the ages of 16 and 18 with a calm expression, and her figure was much taller in the eyes of the two.
......
At night, Ao Xingfeng stood in the window of a house and looked out, praying for the safety of the villagers. After dinner, Tia arranged rooms for Ao Xingfeng and Diamas and left in a hurry.
Let me make full use of my current private time, Ao Xingfeng thought. "System, I'm going to choose a new game. ”
A light curtain came out, and Ao Xingfeng first checked the information of the characters to understand his current information.
'Character Information'

'Class: Magician'
'Status: The Little-Known Great Magician'
'Power: 15'

'Skills: Frost Ray, Magic Missile (Charged Blast), Shockwave, Frost Nova, Arcane Orb'

'Spirit: 147/150'
'HP: 97/100'
"Oh, the attributes have increased more or less, especially this spiritual value, which has directly increased by half, but how did it improve?" Ao Xingfeng looked at his character information with some surprise and asked
"Back to the host, the main attribute can be improved by relevant training, for example, if the host often exercises with weights, strength, agility and physical strength can be slightly improved at the same time, and the intelligence attribute can be improved by breaking through the limit of the spirit, or learning various knowledge. Strength symbolizes the host's strength, agility symbolizes the host's muscle strength and explosiveness, wisdom symbolizes the host's knowledge and willpower, physique symbolizes the host's skin, muscles, and bones are comprehensively resistant to blows, the physical fitness value is based on agility, and the mental value is based on wisdom, with a ratio of 1:10, the host does not have to worry about overloading the exercise will hurt the body function, and the host is a pseudo-three-dimensional creature after transformation, and the most fundamental place has been transformed into a data stream-like existence. The system explained the situation in detail.
"System, when you say that, I feel so uncomfortable, I'm not a human anymore?" Ao Xingfeng said with sweat.
"To be precise, the host is only half of the existence of three-dimensional organisms. The system replied.
"Why don't I be happy when you say that? Are you really comforting me?" said Ao Xingfeng wiping away non-existent tears.
"The system is not reassuring you that the host does not have to deceive itself. The system said.
"Woo woo woo, can I still do something embarrassing with other three-dimensional creatures? What aspect of my function still works? Can I reproduce happily?" Ao Xingfeng cried and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Rest assured, host, you have all the normal functions that humans have, except that your offspring will be born as pseudo-three-dimensional creatures just like you. However, there is no harm in this, while immunizing all spells that interfere with the spirit, there will be no limit to the body's functions, and there will be no limit or bottleneck to improve. Moreover, the host and the offspring of the host can ignore the bloodline, race, and strength requirements of the equipment, and they can exert 100% of the strength of the equipment. The system replied lightly.
"In this way, even if I don't need to acquire skills in the game, can I reach the point of a one-punch star if I keep exercising in reality?" Ao Xingfeng said in surprise.
"Yes. And it doesn't stop there. The system replied.
"It seems that my physical cultivation can't be left behind!" Ao Xingfeng said firmly, clenching his fists, his eyes shining with endless hope and strength.
