After a while, the guard came out and said to Lao Bai: "The Governor is in a very bad mood today. You should be more careful."
Lao Bai nodded. Anyway, officials don't give gifts. He just came to familiarize himself with the situation. At worst, he would leave after giving the gifts and he wouldn't offend Esconte.
Lao Bai followed the guards into the Governor's Mansion and walked through the red carpeted corridor, which was the lobby of the Governor's Mansion. In the magnificent hall, Esconte was wearing a crimson jacket and sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall.
He was drinking coffee with a comfortable look on his face, and it was impossible to tell that he was in a bad mood.
Esconte is about thirty years old, tall and thin, with long and powerful hands, resolute facial lines, and a cold light in his eyes. The whole person looks like an unsheathed sword.
Lao Bai only took one look at it and felt that this character had a good shape. He was probably the image of a heroic NPC specially set by the game.
When Lao Bai came in, Esconte didn't even raise his head, and just said calmly: "What do you want from me?"
Lao Bai said: "I am Lao Bai, the lord of Lily City. Because I admire Lord Mu, I came here to pay a visit."
As Lao Bai spoke, he took out several diamond bracelets and pearl necklaces made by Hui Yu, placed them on Esconte's table, and said: "A small gift, please don't dislike it, Mr. Governor."
"I heard that Panama City recently changed its name to Lily City, and there is a city lord. Are you that city lord?" Esconte looked at Lao Bai, then picked up the largest diamond ring on the table and looked at it casually.
He looked at it and said, "The diamond is nice, but the workmanship is a bit rough."
Then he threw the ring casually and waved to a guard next to him to put away all the items on the table. He was no longer interested in taking another look. Obviously, he was not optimistic about the gift from Lao Bai. But he accepted it.
After receiving the gift, Esconte already had a smile on his face.
Such a result was also expected by Lao Bai. After all, Hui Yu's professional level is only level one, and her proficiency in various professional skills is not high. It is indeed a waste to give diamonds to her to practice skills. Of course Lao Bai no longer cares.
These diamonds are wasted because the proficiency level can be improved quickly. But if you use these things as gifts, they will not be worth much. Fortunately, Esconte likes gems, so although the gift is light, it is considered the right gift.
Seeing that the guard had put away Lao Bai's gifts, Esconte asked again: "Did you make all these things?"
Lao Bai said: "It wasn't me who did it, it was my wife who did it. It was not done well and made the adults laugh."
Esconte said: "Let me tell you, if your professional skills can only reach this level, it is impossible to apply for my volunteer warrior."
Lao Bai heard the guards talking about volunteer warriors just before he entered the door. Now he heard Esconte mention it again, so he asked: "What is the purpose of recruiting volunteer warriors, sir?"
Esconte smiled and said: "This mission is of great importance, so of course I have to keep it a secret. If you can be selected as a volunteer warrior, I will naturally tell you. By then, you will be my confidant. If you can help me
If you complete the task, I will regard you as a confidant. But here’s the ugly thing, if you become a volunteer warrior and fail to complete the task I entrusted you, I, Esconte, will look down on you for the rest of my life. You really
Want to be a volunteer warrior?”
Lao Bai secretly thought and analyzed Esconte's words. If the task can be successfully completed, the friendship with Esconte will be greatly improved. If it fails, the friendship will be greatly reduced. This task sounds very important.
Could it be related to Cecilia's father?
Regardless of whether this mission has something to do with Cecilia's father or not, it's not a big problem for Lao Bai to take over the mission and do it. And once the mission is completed, the relationship with Esconte will be improved, which will make it easier to find out information in the future.
.The purpose of Lao Bai's coming here is to take on a few tasks to brush up his friendship level, and then look for clues from Esconte.
Lao Bai immediately said: "It would be an honor for me to serve the Governor."
"Okay." Esconte nodded, then turned to a very beautiful young blond adjutant beside him and said: "Blanco, let Lao Bai also participate in this selection."
Blanco frowned and said: "Sir, the volunteer warriors this time are all selected through layers of selection in various provinces. Each of them has eliminated countless opponents, so this gentleman suddenly jumped in the queue.
, not so good, right?"
Esconte smiled and said: "This gentleman is the city lord of Lily City. If I remember correctly, he is the lord of more than one city. He is also a famous and powerful person. We can only ask for such a person to help us.
Well. What can we do to give him some convenience? And he also gave us a gift."
Lao Bai suddenly realized that it was because of his high reputation and large assets that he had the possibility to join in this mission. Otherwise, he and Ben would not have had the opportunity to jump in midway. It seems that this South American overlord is more interested in people than in world reputation.
.Then again, this mission of Esconte seems to be selected by players from all South America. It seems that it is really not a small mission.
After listening to Esconte's words, Blanco could only respond in a low voice: "Yes, sir."
Esconte stood up, walked towards Lao Bai, held his hand and said: "Since you are the city lord, naturally you don't have to participate in the knockout round with others. Let's watch the game together."
Lao Bai bowed and agreed.
Esconte said to another guard: "Bring a chair to the Lord of Lily City!"
He was actually given a seat, and the treatment was good! Lao Bai secretly smiled inwardly, as expected, it is good to have a high reputation. The guard moved a chair over, and Lao Bai thanked Esconte and sat down.
Esconte then said to Blanco: "Blanco, continue your analysis."
Blanco said: "Judging from the current competition situation in various provinces, among all the people who have signed up to be volunteer warriors, Nemo from the goblin family has the highest level. Although he has little combat experience, his talent in combat is impressive.
You are amazing and the best person to complete this mission.”
Lao Bai was listening attentively. He knew that Blanco's lack of combat experience meant the character's low level. Nemo's employment as a hidden race must have delayed his upgrade time. Although the goblins are not a powerful race, the mission will be
It is simpler than Lao Bai Huiyu, but a delay of several months is unavoidable. As a result, his level will inevitably be lower than other advanced players.
The talent shown in battles that Blanco refers to undoubtedly refers to technology. As the three giants in the United States in his previous life, Nemo's technical level is certainly not comparable to that of other players. It seems that this NPC analysis player also analyzed
Very thorough.
Blanco added: "Besides him, there are mahogany from Brazil, Catalina from Colombia, Cuenca from Chile..."
He named them in one breath, and finally concluded: "These people are all extremely powerful."
Lao Bai thought for a while, and it seemed that several of the people Blanco mentioned were foreign players in the American League in later generations. It seemed that this Warriors selection competition was really lively.
Esconte asked again: "What do you mean?"
Blanco said: "I think it's better to have more soldiers than more elites. If there are more people, it's easier to arouse others' suspicion. I think it's better to select ten people."
Esconte thought for a while and said: "Five people."
Blanco hesitated after hearing this, and then said: "Sir, if there are only five people, it is too few and it will be difficult to accomplish anything."
Esconte said: "Ten people are not necessarily any better than five people. You also said that soldiers are more valuable than more elites. If there are too many people to perform a task, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."
The two chatted for a while, and Lao Bai listened for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what the ten and five of them were discussing. Are such a small number of people going to form an adventure team? What if they are going to form an adventure team?
If I join a team, will my identity be restricted?
Of course, it was inconvenient for Lao Bai to interrupt in this kind of conversation, and he could only endure it if he didn't understand. Besides, it was a great honor for him to be able to listen in, so he couldn't be dissatisfied. He waited until the two of them had finished their discussion, and Esconte
Said to a guard: "Let everyone come in."
The guard then went out to deliver the order, and soon many players waiting outside the door were ushered in. There were about sixty of these players, and after entering, they took up a lot of space in the entire hall.
After everyone came in, they first looked at Esconte in the middle of the hall, and then they all looked at Lao Bai, and some even whispered about it. They didn't understand why Lao Bai, a player, would sit with the NPC.
.Seeing the confusion on the player's face, Lao Bai certainly wouldn't explain it, he just had an incomprehensible look on his face.
At this time, Esconte stood in front of the hall and said to everyone: "Everyone knows that I, Esconte, need real warriors to help me complete an important task. I am very happy that everyone can apply to help me. I also know
, everyone present is an elite selected through layers of selection in your area, and everyone has extraordinary combat abilities and other specialties."
He paused and then said: "However, my task does not require too many people, so my warriors, please accept another round of selection. The winner will take away the glory, and the loser will also gain my friendship.
."
At this point, everyone applauded.
Esconte added: "In this round of selection, I will select the ten most heroic warriors among you to complete my next mission. Warriors, are you ready?"
Everyone said in unison: "Ready."
Esconte said: "Okay, then our competition will begin. We will set up ten arenas in the square in front of the Governor's Palace. Everyone, please compete on the arenas to determine the winner!" To be continued.
