Xu Huo knows this very well. A person like Duke Tarr has the title of duke for nothing. In fact, he has less rights than his wife, because there are few outstanding elite players in Duke Tarr's family, and his wife's
The family was originally just a third-rate noble, but several particularly outstanding players emerged. The Duke of Tarr's family made a bet in advance for the marriage of the two families. Now the nephews of several brothers from the Duchess's natal family are either high-level players or serve in the 011 government.
She held an important position, so it was mostly the Duchess who was out and about.
For people like Duke Tarr, perhaps the biggest contribution to their family is to increase the population and see if they can cultivate some talents in the next generation.
"To really have a relationship with the nobility, you can only get close to the real elite." Ran Ying said with emotion: "Unfortunately, my background is not very good. Even if I have made meritorious service in the Black Epaulets, I am not taken seriously."
When mentioning this, Xu Huo said: "I haven't congratulated you on your promotion and salary increase."
Ran Ying smiled slightly and said, "Thank you. You just came out of the dungeon. Are you free? Let's have dinner together later?"
Just as Xu Huo was about to answer, the door of the smoking room was opened again, and a woman wearing a golden dress came in. She stopped when she saw Ran Ying, "Black epaulettes?"
"Duchess." Ran Ying obviously knew this woman, "I am Ran Ying, captain of the black epaulette squad."
"It's you." The Duchess lit a lady's long cigarette, walked over and sat down, "You followed that idiot Tarr, right? The girl is young and has a future, why bother with that kind of person?
Together."
Ran Ying smiled and said, "Ma'am, you're joking. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Ran Ying turned back to Xu Huo and pointed to the communication device in her hand, then left first. Xu Huo followed, but did not leave, but closed the door.
The Duchess heard the footsteps and turned around, "Aren't you a black epaulette person?"
Xu Huo smiled slightly and said, "My wife looks completely different from when she was in the orphanage."
The duchess looked him up and down after hearing this, and then said after a moment: "You have changed your face? I remembered that you were the one who proposed to fire the dean. I heard that he was so frightened after leaving the orphanage that he took him to the hospital overnight.
When the family moved out of the main partition, was it you who did it?"
Xu Huo sat down opposite her, "I just warned him. I didn't expect him to be so timid."
The Duchess held a cigarette and stared at him, "Players have privileges in this world. It's okay if he doesn't fear it."
"Did you choose such disgusting clothes yourself?"
"You might not be happy if I tell you," Xu Huo said, "It's your husband."
"That stupid pig?" The Duchess said in an unhappy voice, "Do you know him?"
"I inherited the Rose Flower Castle from my uncle. Mr. Duke has a relationship with my uncle," Xu Huo said.
"Rose Flower Castle is a beautiful place, and He Pu is also a very charming man." The red lips under the golden mask of the Duchess curled up, "I just don't know what your nephew is like."
"What do you think, madam?" Xu Huo asked.
"It's hard to say." The Duchess took a breath of cigarette, "Men will change. Before getting married, Tal was quite handsome, but within a few years he lost his appearance. If a man who is not too smart has his face and body, he will change.
No more, no different from a dead person."
Xu Huo laughed out loud, "Madam's requirements for men are too harsh."
The Duchess also laughed, "There is no gender distinction in this kind of thing. It's the same for men and women."
As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at his chin, "Is your face real now?"
"It's true." As soon as Xu Huo finished speaking, the woman opposite raised her feet, exposing a section of her white calf and shaking it gently, and said: "You are hiding here, you are not interested in the performance in the club.
?”
Xu Huo showed a little disgust, "I wonder why anyone would be interested in this kind of performance. There isn't enough bloody violence in the game?"
"Because they are incompetent people." The Duchess said lightly: "They don't have the ability to go to the real dungeon, and they don't have the courage to face real players. They can only find some pleasure in this place, watching the players who have removed their hands and feet be tortured and killed.
, maybe it can save their inferiority complex of not being able to become players."
"I heard that the madam's elder brother and younger brother are both players."
"Fourteen brothers, cousins, less than one-third survived." The Duchess's legs stopped shaking, and her expression showed that she did not want to continue this topic.
Xu Huo paused and took out the "Lady's Folding Fan" from the game panel. "It's a small gesture to express my gratitude."
This prop has been on the panel since he got it. During this period, he tried to use it several times, but he couldn't get it right. The introduction was just a simple sentence: "A popular silk folding fan that is sought after by the upper class. It is said that it belongs to a high-ranking official."
Lover's love object."
I don't know how to use it, maybe it is more suitable for women.
The fan is made of silk with gold and silver embroidery threads on it. It is bright but not dazzling under the light.
The Duchess never left her eyes after seeing the fan. She smiled happily and said, "It goes well with my dress today."
[Lady's Folding Fan: A gift that can be given unlimited times. Only if the recipient sincerely accepts it, can the holder of the sincere gift receive a 5% favorability bonus from the other party. 】
When the fan was handed over to the Duchess, a notification popped up on Xu Huo's personal panel.
Compared with the 5% favorability value, the real value of this item is to be able to judge whether a person sincerely accepts a gift. That is, if the Duchess gives it to Bai Kou, the first thing the other person will think of is to be on guard.
"Thank you, I like it very much." The Duchess's smile deepened and she said: "After Hope's death, you should inherit his title."
Xu Huo smiled and said, "I don't value this title too much, but I think it would be better to have an identity in District 011. I want to engage in charity."
The Duchess was very surprised, "You? Do charity?"
Generally speaking, except for family requirements, no player would do such a thankless task. Fighting in and out of the dungeon, no amount of sympathy is enough.
"Do what you can to do something good." Xu Huo said: "I am also an orphan. When I see children who have lost their parents and relatives, I have some sympathy. If you don't know, forget it. You really can't pretend not to see what is in front of you."
The Duchess's eyes moved slightly, "That's the truth."
"It's said to be charity, but in fact it's just to give them some materials and money to help them grow up. There's nothing else to do." Xu Huo said with emotion, and then said: "Even the game doesn't admit children who are too young into the dungeon. We
As a senior who is already in hell, it is incumbent upon him to do what he can."
"Yes," the Duchess also said, "the new generation is the future."
