Familiar or Unfamiliar World Chapter Twenty-Eight: Barty and the Holy Kingdom
Bidding farewell to the three of Amuro, Li Sa plans to hand in the task in the afternoon.
Originally, he planned to come with three people, but Lin Yilin said that he didn't want to move, so Li Sa simply asked Chen Yalie to stay and have a good rest.
The third time he came to the exchange, Li Sa was not as excited as before, and went straight to the territory of the Chamber of Commerce on the third floor, and as soon as he stepped up the steps, he saw the fat man running towards him.
The little short legs under his fat body walked as fast as he could, which made him look like a frightened penguin.
"Oh my God, you're back so soon?" he looked incredulousβββ just by looking, it was obvious that he had somehow learned about Li Sa and the others' return to the city.
"Oh, don't look at me like that, sir. The fat man saw Li Sa's slightly frowning brows and grinned.
"Well, as a businessman, I have a lot of my own intelligence sources, you know. He said this in a hurry, and then couldn't wait to reach out and ask for the parchment for the task.
Li Sa took out the piece of paper and stretched it out, handing it to the fat man, Li Sa just noticed that there seemed to be a strange seal on it.
"Oh, sir, that's a sign that the mission is complete. The fat man said, holding the parchment in both hands.
When he said this, he didn't look at Li Sa, just stared at the piece of paper, his hands trembling slightly.
"You seem to be a little ... Excited?" asked Li Sa tentatively. Actually, it's none of his business, he just hopes that the other party will quickly get out of the strange state, and then give himself what he deservesβββ the two scrolls.
Hearing Li Sa's words, the fat man raised his head slightly, and Li Sa noticed that there were slight tears in his brown eyes.
Finding Li Sa staring at his eyes, the fat man took out a handkerchief with one hand, gently wiped away the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, and then leaned down.
"Mr. Li, please let me thank you again. This time he also added Li Sa's surname. Without waiting for Li Sa to ask, he straightened up and spoke to himself.
"My name is Barty, sir. β
"Let me thank you, and besides, I will not ask you for the supplies you have captured in this adventure. β
Li Sa remembered at this time that the task really didn't stipulate what he needed to collect. It's an "easy" adventure.
"I'm satisfied that you can accomplish this task. Barty said. While taking out the two upgrade scrolls that made Li Sa worry. "Now, they're yours. β
Li Sa took the scroll and was about to turn around and leave.
"Actually. Barty continued.
"Actually, I have only taken advantage of you for this task, honorable sir. β
Li Sa turned around again, a little curious about what this Barty meant.
"Oh, sir, do you know the Holy Kingdom?" asked Barty as he looked at Li Sa.
"Holy Kingdom?" Li Sa was a little puzzled, as far as he knew, this world should not have such a setting as there should be a huge force established by the player, such as: Kingdom.
"It's the Confederation that is up and is currently ruling the Holy Kingdom here. β
"Oh... Li Sa snorted lightly, theoretically speaking, he was still one of the members of this "United States Association", and he couldn't imagine that after coming here, he would actually become a subsidiary guild under the Holy Kingdom.
"Wait, if any other guild takes over here ... οΌβ
Faced with Li Sa's question, this time it was Barty who was a little puzzled, his eyes widened, and his beard trembled up and down with the opening and closing of his lips, "What are you talking about?"
"The Holy Kingdom doesn't allow other guilds to exist in Canterlot. β
"Doesn't that mean that the Divine Domain and other guilds won't be able to occupy this place in the future?" Li Sa muttered to himself, "Unless... Get rid of the Commonwealth Church above ... Huh?"
Before he could finish speaking, Barty quickly stepped forward and covered Li Sa's mouth with his hand.
"Don't talk nonsense, sir!" said Barty, looking a little anxious, and lowered his voice.
Li Sa nodded, he let go of his hand, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
Barty put the handkerchief back in his pocket, looked at Li Sa and said solemnly: "Don't talk like this in the city in the future, sir, otherwise I won't be able to protect you." β
"Actually, my son, little Barty, is a knight under the Kingdom Army of the Holy Kingdom. β
"Seriously, I still have some kingdom blood. Barty looked up proudly, "And I'm one of the richest businessmen here." β
Li Sa didn't interrupt him in a hurry, wanting to hear him continue.
"It's just, my son, my poor little Barty... Barty said sadly, and slowly lowered his head.
"Some time ago, when the residents of the city went out to pick herbs, they were attacked by monsters. β
"My little Barty, he's been ordered to lead a squad of First Order Knight to clean it up. β
"But for some reason, the power of those monsters has been greatly enhanced, knights... All of them were sacrificed, and none of them were spared. Barty covered her forehead sadly.
"This is the news that the merchant who had gone with the army ran back to report it, and the monsters did not know for what purpose, and spared his life, but also removed one of his arms. β
They cruelly sealed his wound with magic temporarily, and asked him to come back to report the news, and when he finished saying the news at the city gate, the magic disappeared, and he fainted in pain, that scene... β
Barty recounted all this with some excitement, covering his face with both hands, not letting Li Sa see his sad expression.
Suddenly, his fingers parted to reveal his eyes, and Li Sa saw a little hideousness in them.
"My son ... I must take revenge ... The Kingdom Army is reluctant to exclude more powerful squads, so I can only find a way to find a powerful adventurer, for example. β
"Well, adventurers ... Li Sa was a little disappointed, "Is that what you call us, a little low... β
"By the way, did you just say a first-order knight?"
"Of course. Barty answered Li Sa's doubts, "We ordinary people, including those in the Kingdom Army and the United Confederation, all have our own careers. β
"It's just that our profession is only three orders at most. β
"Oh? That's interesting. Li Sa thought, that is to say, when players come to this world, they are still more powerful than the "original inhabitants", with a higher ceiling.
This is the better news I heard today, although there are forces that I am not familiar with, but as long as they can be upgraded to the fifth order like in the game, these Holy Kingdom and the like are still not opponents, and there are many less unexpected threats.
Of course, there have been a lot of surprises so far.
"Do you want to know more about the Holy Kingdom?" asked Barty expectantly, taking his hand away.
"Of course. Li Sa's unhesitant answer made Barty almost jump for joy.
It just so happened that there was a force that he didn't know about, and intelligence was very important, and Li Sa naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to get information for free.
"I'll send someone to pick you up at the tavern where you are staying that night. Barty's eyes were crooked into two crescents.
Li Sa nodded, turned around and went downstairs to leave the exchange.
