"Hey~ why did you suddenly think of coming to see me? And it's so mysterious..."
Walking closer, Liu Yifei raised his hand to say hello to Anderson and asked with some curiosity.
In the past, when we were still in the training camp, we could occasionally see each other. However, after the battle of Harmondale, the two of them had completely stopped interacting with each other. Even if they met, they would just nod and say goodbye in a hurry.
I really didn't say much.
Especially since the wedding of the princess, Xiao Xing has been sleeping in the open, rushing back and forth, and recently he has not even been able to see her. Liu Yifei has been busy with things inside and outside the game recently, so he suddenly saw Anderson.
There is even a sense of awkwardness that has lasted for many years.
But Anderson still looked so calm and gentle. Even though Liu Yifei's way of greeting him seemed a bit too casual, he just smiled slightly, stroked his chest and bowed - that's all.
For [Knights], this is just a very casual common etiquette, but for "ordinary people", such etiquette is already a bit too "refined"~
"Hey~~Don't, don't, don't! We have something to talk about, so we won't go through the red tape of the knights, right?"
Liu Yifei lightly jumped half a step away, which was regarded as letting go of the other party's salute. If it is between acquaintances, such banter is nothing more than a joke between friends, but if it is between people with a normal relationship...seeing the courtesy but not accepting it...this
It's even enough to "insult" the opponent. If you really meet a more serious master, the gloves that represent the duel may be smashed in the face~
Anderson was slightly startled, but said with some embarrassment: "Now you have finally rectified your reputation among the recruits. From now on, those ignorant people will never underestimate you again, let alone the title of 'number one'"
You will be looked down upon by others... You should accept this gift from me~"
"Come less, come less~" Liu Yifei didn't care about what Anderson said, "What do other people think? Do you think I care? Life is for you, and your strength is for you. We sweat and sweat, we
Defending the home and country may be for the sake of fame and wealth for some people, but for me, this is just what I want to do and has nothing to do with others~
Since it has nothing to do with others, do their changes have any reputational significance to me?
But you guys are finally able to talk to me again, which is rare~
What is going on? Tell me.
I still have some troubles to deal with over there~"
As he spoke, Liu Yifei gestured in the direction of Pixar behind him, obviously signaling to Anderson that he didn't have much free time at the moment.
Anderson briefly glanced at Pixar, who was chatting animatedly with Serad, smiled faintly, and nodded to Liu Yifei again: "With the honor and disgrace of the family, I dare not overstep the mark. I have been rude to Mr. Geralt in the past.
I hope you'll bear with me! This time I bothered Serad to send a message, but I also wanted to confirm again... How sure are you of the undead chaos that broke out in the mountain city boundary you mentioned earlier? Finally, you mentioned that the chaos may be heading towards White Rock in the north.
How confident is this statement about the spread of urban areas?"
Obviously~
Liu Yifei's hard-working performance to fool Pixar was watched by everyone around him. Many people were even frightened by Liu Yifei's vague and serious performance that seemed real and fake. Even Anderson
I can't sit still anymore and I must come here to get some confirmation.
It's just that although it is exaggerated to say that a thousand lives were lost, and it is even more accurate to scare a naive kid like Akagi like Pixar, but to say that a "mere" thousand lives can shake a "big family" like Anderson
Liu Yifei, a descendant of a powerful family, somewhat distrusts him...
Today's Erathia seems to be prosperous and peaceful, but under the appearance of peace and prosperity, the corrupt aristocratic class is like a vampire clinging to the giant's body to desperately absorb nutrients. The growth of the kingdom's wealth has long been slow, and the richness of the treasury
The wealth may not even be comparable to that of the first-class nobles in the country.
And for such a greedy aristocratic class, the word "conscience" has long since become a joke.
To them, "untouchables" are just livestock that dig out wealth from the mud, just like pigs, sheep, cattle and horses. They eat wild grasses everywhere, but they can grow delicious meat that satisfies their appetites - the lowest level of society.
The people have long become "meat" in the eyes of the nobles!
If the death of thousands of nobles can bring back thousands of gold coins for the nobles, I'm afraid the nobles will only wish that all the mudbloods in their own territory will die - anyway, the untouchables will kill them like pigs, and they will live a long life.
In two years, they will gradually gather from various nooks and crannies into their own territory...
The world is so cruel, Liu Yifei doesn’t believe that a mere thousand casualties will attract Anderson’s attention~
But in Liu Yifei's impression... the "Shield Walker" family doesn't have any real estate in the southern border of the kingdom, right? The eldest son of the Shield Walker family is concerned about the riots on the southern border. What is going on?
"I can't say for sure~ But as I said before, for my friend whom I haven't seen for a long time... at least in my impression, she is not a person who talks freely. So although the news is a bit shocking, I still tend to believe her,
This is also the main reason why I suggested that Pixar go to the high mountains. But why does the eldest son of the Shieldwalker family care about the riots in the south? Your family probably still wants to buy property in the south, right?"
"Do you believe it..."
After listening to Liu Yifei's words, Anderson pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Yifei and said: "To be honest, I am not a descendant of the Hopkins family, but the second wife of the current lord of White Rock City is my aunt. If
If an undead disaster that can "quietly" claim the lives of thousands of people really affects the White Rock City area, it may also cause turmoil within our family.
So now I hope that you, Geralt, can give me a more favorable evidence than 'believe', so that I can pass on the news to the family... Of course, if the news is true, the Hopkins family will never treat it lightly.
The habits of friends.
Therefore, in terms of the accuracy of the news, I hope that Mr. Geralt can be more accurate."
[The second wife of the Lord of White Rock is actually a girl from the Hopkins family?!]
Even a wily guy like Liu Yifei couldn't help but be a little surprised when he suddenly heard such secret news.
In his impression, the "Shield Walker" family was regarded as a military aristocracy, a typical military aristocrat who had gradually been promoted to the knight class.
Since they have always been in the military system, this family has pretty good combat effectiveness. Almost every generation has served in the army of the Kingdom of Erathia, and there are also powerful martial arts passed down within the family.
But when it comes to comprehensive qualities such as connections, wealth, and territorial strength, the weaknesses of second-rate military families are fully exposed~
Compared with those powerful ministers and the first-class big lord class, they are still a bit inferior.
This level means that there is a big advantage when facing players in the early and mid-term. Once players climb to the middle stage of the power class, they no longer need to care too much about nobles like the Hopkins family.
only……
Does the Hopkins family actually have a marriage relationship with the White Rock City Lord’s family???
It seems that I have no memory of this matter in my previous life...
White Rock City is one of the ten most powerful cities in Erathia. It governs a whole area. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the provincial capital city in reality!
The great lord of such a place is truly a first-class powerful noble in the kingdom!
As long as you don't make any fatal mistakes, it will be easy to protect your family from worries for the next three generations. Even if you have one master and multiple branches, the family's success is no joke!
After all, the lord of Baishi City holds the unshakable position of marquis. In the three generations of the family, if there are even two capable viscounts in the branch, then the prosperity of this family is a foregone conclusion!
Being able to marry into such a big family...even if it's just a second wife! Logically speaking, it's not the turn of the mere Hopkins family...
[No! Maybe things shouldn’t be viewed this way! If the Hopkins family took the initiative to find the Lord of White Rock to marry, then on the other hand... what if it was the Lord of White Rock who took the initiative to bring up this matter? Support?? The Lord of White Rock wants to be in the kingdom
Is there a layout in the north?!]
Anderson originally came to Liu Yifei to ask for an accurate answer, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Yifei, an old yin, took over!
Although it was just some baseless random thoughts, Liu Yifei somehow suddenly felt that he had stumbled upon a hidden foreshadowing.
In the last life, if Liu Yifei remembers correctly, the Hopkins family should have been severely damaged in the northern turmoil caused by Sandru before the fall of Erathia, and then gradually disappeared from the player's field of vision.
He didn't know what had happened to this family and the lineage of the Lord of Baishi City who were related to it, but in the crisis that ensued, a noble as powerful as the Lord of Baishi City could not escape the fate of destruction.
, in the end, White Rock City seemed to have been completely conquered by the dark army of the underground city...
"Geralt? Geralt?!"
Liu Yifei fell into a trance while thinking about it. Unknowingly, he let his thoughts wander and forgot about Anderson in front of him. It wasn't until he was yelled at by the other party several times that he suddenly broke free from the memories of his past life.
"Oh!! Sorry, sorry~ I was just... just recalling some of the contents of my friend's letter... Well... things are actually not much different from what I said before.
The real hardest-hit area, when she sent me the letter, was definitely the Alpine City area. Afterwards, they conducted a series of private investigations and realized that the situation might spread to the Baishi city.
This is what the other party said. So far, I think the credibility is still very high~
As for whether it eventually spread to Baishi City... To be honest, I'm not sure. After all, the kingdom has a vast territory. As far as I know, there is even a vast virgin forest between Baishi City and Gaoshan City.
There are too many unknown factors here. I am not sure whether the undead disaster will spread in Baishi City... But if it is what I mean, I suggest that you compare yourself with others within the family.
Someone you trust should remind you about this.
Even if you don't conduct a large-scale search within the country, you can at least send people to the place where the two places meet to investigate.
If things really endanger Baishi City, there will definitely be no disturbance at the junction of the two places."
Although Liu Yifei didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear. He still hoped that Anderson would take the matter to the next level and send people to the relevant places to investigate.
Not to mention anything else, even if it’s just for peace of mind?
With Liu Yifei's clear attitude, Anderson was basically certain that this matter should not be caused by Geralt's making trouble - after all, he slandered the territory of the mountain land with empty teeth and ignored the lives and deaths of thousands of citizens in the jurisdiction...
Such a big thing cannot be fooled by just saying "the new fighting hero of the Guards"!
If this matter really breaks out, Geralt will probably be completely expelled from the Guards~
For a "civilian" without any family background, this is even more terrifying than killing them! Because simply based on Geralt's current "status" in the Guards, he is almost guaranteed to be able to mix in the future.
To get a "knight" title - that is a promotion from a commoner to a powerful person! For most "commoners" in this world, this is even more important than their personal life and death!
Because that means an improvement in the social status of their entire family!
Anderson believed that Geralt would not joke about such a fatal matter at this time.
Therefore, after repeatedly expressing goodwill to Liu Yifei, he bowed and retreated, perhaps trying to contact his family...
Regarding the brief conversation with Anderson, maybe Liu Yifei got more information! However, he couldn't tell how useful these messy side information was at the moment. He would have to sort it out carefully when he had time.
Fan~
As for now, his most important thing is to teach the novice Pixar how to deal with the troubles that will inevitably follow after going to the mountain city - yes! I think that the Lord of Baishi City may also have some help.
Go south to check for news in the Alpine City area, or try to get them to connect with each other, and then exchange the information they have with each other?
Well...this seems to be a solution...
When you get busy, time always flies~
For most of the next day, Liu Yifei was marching while secretly poking at Pixar with Serad, conducting social education on Pixar, so that this immature flower that grew up in a greenhouse could do its best to face the cruel society outside.
Mental preparation.
On the other side, the team had indeed entered the border area of the kingdom. After passing inspections and notifications from the third and fourth levels of outposts, their group finally entered the civilized area - the last place they stayed when they left the country.
Wo City is already in sight~
As long as they get there, everyone can directly step on the teleportation array and head straight to the royal city of Standwick! To a certain extent, this wedding trip that took more than a month has finally come to an end...
