"This..." Deacon Li from Baihu Hall hesitated.
After all, it was the Astologis on the Thousand Islands side. There had already been reports of a shipwreck and a shipwreck. However, within a few days, another ship miraculously returned. However, this was not over yet. The follow-up was said to be here Contraband was seized on the ship, which caused a drastic change in the society. In short, it was a chaotic period.
In fact, Guili Fang has always maintained a non-intervention and non-meddling attitude towards foreign countries. In addition, the day when the emperor's hundred-year retreat was approaching, Guili was so busy internally that he had no time to care about foreign countries.
But the current problem is that on the Astorogis, it is suspected that Zhao Yuer's father has been missing overseas for many years. Now that the ship has returned safely, it means that Zhao Yuer's father is most likely not dead.
At this moment, even Deacon Li didn't know how to speak to the cheongsam girl in front of him.
First, he finally found news about his missing relative, and then found out that the news was news of his death. But finally, in a twist of events, he found out that the news of his death was a false alarm.
After all the twists and turns, it’s no wonder that Zhao Yu’er applied many times over and over again. It was no longer the initial application for diplomatic investigation, but she wanted to mobilize the fleet and personally go to the Thousand Islands!
"Master Zhao, I understand your feelings, but..." Deacon Li could only say bravely.
"If there hadn't been so many strangers suddenly appearing from nowhere, we should have been able to approve your application. But now, at this juncture when the emperor is about to wake up, such a major abnormal event has occurred. Almost half of our returning officers and soldiers are now used to manage and isolate those strangers. Secondly, the discussion on the series of plans and guidelines on how to deal with the strangers in the future must not be without you, Mr. Zhao. Therefore, No matter what, Mr. Zhao, you yourself have to stay in Guili."
Zhao Yuer: "..."
well.
The cheongsam girl sighed.
"Yeah, I understand."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your understanding. I'll take my leave now, Mr. Li." The deacon of Baihutang bowed his hands to Zhao Yu'er before getting up and leaving the tea room.
But at the door of the tea room, Deacon Li's eyebrows twitched, as if he couldn't help it. After glancing at the screen at the innermost side of the tea room with his peripheral vision, he still left a few words before leaving.
"Now the Five Elements' attention is all focused on the Stranger Shrine, which has resulted in the inspections in many places being much weaker, especially in Ligang. Many unscrupulous people have been let in casually, which is really troublesome. "
What seemed to be a mutter to himself, actually earned Zhao Yuer's thanks.
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
"No, I just said it casually, I'm really leaving this time." After waving his hand, the man disappeared and walked away.
After Deacon Li left the tea room, not long after, a new heroic female voice with a sassy style sounded in the tea room.
"Xiaoyu, what does that guy's last sentence mean?"
The source of the sound was from the innermost screen of the tea room.
I only saw a woman wearing smart casual clothes and wearing a pirate-like eyepatch on her right eye. She strode out from the screen. Look, she had been hiding in the tea room just now.
"What Master Li means is that as long as I don't leave Guili or borrow Guili's officers and soldiers, he will turn a blind eye to me and allow me to send a private fleet from Ligang to Qiandao .”
The cheongsam girl took out a new tea set from under the tea table to make tea while patiently explaining to the one-eyed woman who appeared behind her.
"What!? Did he just say this?" The one-eyed woman was obviously surprised.
But he reacted quickly.
"No! Xiaoyu, when did you have a private fleet? Wait a minute, could it be that suddenly the sun came out from the west and you called me all the way here to reminisce about old times, actually just for..."
"Come, have some tea."
Zhao Yu'er pushed the warm tea she had just brewed down in front of the one-eyed woman opposite her who had an unhappy expression on her face.
snort!
Although her words were very unfriendly and she snorted coldly, the one-eyed woman still took it and drank the tea in one gulp.
"As expected of the famous Qilin Pavilion Master's collection of tea, the taste is just different from the crude tea that I drank with my brothers on the ship."
"That's a bad statement. No matter how good the tea is, it can't compare to having a good drinker." The cheongsam woman shook her head.
"Hmph, after all these years, Xiaoyu, your mouth is still so powerful."
"But I still don't understand. Since you are planning to let me lead the fleet, why did you still make that kind of application with Five Elements and deliberately let me hide in the tea room? You should have noticed it, right? The White Tiger just now The guy from Tang has obviously discovered me."
Deacon Li's last glance toward the one-eyed woman's hiding place couldn't have been more obvious.
Faced with the question, Zhao Yuer smiled and said:
“When you feel that the room is too hot and want to open the window, if you directly mention it, you may still be rejected. But if you first propose to lift the roof and are rejected, and then propose to open the window, Then they will definitely be very happy to accept it."
"I let you hide there just to show Mr. Li my attitude. Some things can be said openly, and some can only be said from the dark side. Fortunately, Mr. Li is also a smart man and understands what I mean. , so that’s why I said those last words.”
After listening to Zhao Yuer's explanation, the one-eyed woman nodded in realization, but soon she sighed helplessly.
"Is...is this like this? Hey, that's why I don't like you officials. You are all too scheming. If you want me to see, just say whatever you think in your heart openly. Don't be like a motherfucker. We are all equally verbose! We always beat around the bush! There is something in our words!"
"Huh? No! Wait a minute, it turns out that the bad guy that that stinky guy mentioned just now refers to me!?" The one-eyed woman turned around and became angry.
"Let's not mention this for now, Nan, apart from the reason why I asked you to come here for Qiandao and his party, there is also..."
After Zhao Yuer paused for a moment, a serious look appeared on the girl's pretty face.
"I heard that you have begun to have contact with strangers in private?"
"That's what you said, it's true." Nan scratched his head.
The one-eyed woman recalled her recent experience. After getting off the boat, she put on a disguise and prepared to go to Qilin Pavilion for an appointment with Zhao Yu'er. However, halfway on the street, she happened to bump into officers and soldiers hunting for four or five people who had slipped through the net. Stranger.
At that time, Nan had been drifting at sea and was not well-informed, so he did not know about the strangers. He only drew his sword to help when there was an injustice on the road and helped the four or five strangers escape.
As a result, just when Nan was about to leave, these strangers seemed to have discovered a new world, shouting excitedly about "Special NPCs!" and "Hidden events have been triggered!" etc., which made Nan confused.
Since then, these strangers have been extremely enthusiastic towards her, vying to chat with her and insisting on her. What tasks must she release? give them.
"Please can you... release the mission?" The more Zhao Yuer listened, the more her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled.
"Yeah, I thought it was interesting at the time, so I casually said, let them dance on the street for me to see, and guess what...ah hahaha, oh no, I laughed to death. When I think back to that time The look of those people makes me so happy! Hahaha..."
The one-eyed woman slapped her belly on the table.
"Cough, cough."
"In short, I think they are quite pitiful. They said they escaped from a village called Earth. They were helpless and they finally escaped to Guili. In the end, they were arrested and quarantined by you officials. In addition, They all shouted like a big sister."
"I...I just got excited at that time. It happened that my Northern Cross fleet was planning to expand recently and was short of people, so I asked them to join us and become sailors."
Nan sheepishly smiled twice at the cheongsam woman opposite who had a slightly angry expression.
Searching and isolating foreigners is a new emergency policy issued by Guili, and the source is still from her, Zhao Yuer. The reason is because, for foreigners, everything is a mystery and unknown to them, so in order to protect Guili The best way is to isolate them from ordinary people. Before they understand the strangers, they must not let this group of uneasy elements enter the society of Guili.
But Zhao Yu'er didn't expect that the first person to open the door would be from her most trusted friend, and Zhao Yu'er had nothing to do with the one-eyed woman. After all, if there was no Nan, there would be no Qilin Pavilion. Pavilion Master, as early as that night...
well.
Zhao Yuer rubbed her temples with a headache.
"A month or two ago, there were actually reports of strangers in Guili, but at that time because the number was very rare, no one paid much attention to it. Later, it was said that they disappeared for a while, and Wu Xing almost forgot about it. Who I knew it would be so sudden today...Nan, since you have come into contact with strangers, how do you feel about them?"
Zhao Yu'er thought from the side, why they insisted on isolating strangers, it was because they didn't understand. Now that Nan had an opportunity, maybe...
"I think your actions of the Five Elements are a bit overblown, because in my opinion, these strangers are all talented crew members! You don't know that after they get on the ship, they feel like they are back home. ! Moreover, they can learn everything quickly and speak nicely. Anyway, I quite like them!"
Do you have a talent for sailing?...
After Zhao Yu'er secretly noted this, she looked out the window and saw that it was getting late.
"No matter what, Nan, you have to be careful about these strangers. Don't be careless. I won't pursue the matter of you hiding the strangers secretly. After all, you are going to Thousand Islands with your fleet soon. , it can be regarded as leaving home with those strangers."
"In the end, my father's side... I'll leave it to you." Zhao Yu'er pursed her lips, with a complicated expression on her face.
"Well, don't worry!"
The one-eyed woman clenched her fist and hammered her chest to assure herself.
...
...
Thousand Islands.
Sakuragi Island.
A certain little wolf cub is currently lying happily on Vivian's tablet, browsing the player forum.
It has been a few days since the server was launched. The number of posts on the "Falling Gods" forum has exploded every day. The little wolf cub glanced at them and found that almost most of them were from players. They had questions about the "Initial Five Kingdoms". Complaints and experience reviews.
Although he is now... a wolf and cannot escape from the Thousand Islands, he can still rely on the large number of player posts on the forum to learn about the developments and situations in various countries.
The little wolf cub who holds the player forum can be said to be more informed than the top intelligence network in "Falling God", the Adventurer Association, to a certain extent.
Among the five countries, the one that has been criticized the most by players is undoubtedly "Winter".
The little wolf cub moved its paws and clicked on a very popular discussion thread.
The name of the post is: [Lessons of blood and tears, newcomers who have not yet entered the trap must not choose the winter start! ! ! 】
The poster briefly explained at the beginning that he chose this country because he particularly liked snow, and then began to explain his tragic experience. Not long after he was born, he was captured by a group of tribal warriors wearing animal skin coats. He was blindfolded, tied up and thrown into the car.
Fortunately, as a player, he can open a third-party perspective. The poster was quite happy at first, thinking that he had encountered some special event, until he discovered that the destination of his trip was a hidden laboratory under the ice and snow, and He...he was used as a test subject by others!
What follows is constant experimentation every day. Although he is completely indifferent as a player, the system prompts him that he has been brainwashed and has lost his right to independent control. He cannot get rid of it until his intelligence attributes reach a certain level. This number is basically equivalent to Wasted!
The little wolf cub scrolled down. Most of the comments below were in silence for the original poster, or people who had the same experience were scolding each other. However, a new comment that appeared at this moment was a bit interesting.
The respondent said that what he experienced was exactly the same as the original poster. The only difference was that he was randomly assigned a high intelligence attribute at the beginning, which allowed him to have free time at night when the controller was sleeping.
The player whose ID is "Fruit Cereal" continued that he has secretly investigated and found out that an executive named "Doctor" is behind this laboratory, and the experimental project seems to be related to "Witch" , he said that he would continue to follow up and update in real time, hoping to rescue everyone.
Compared with the cruelty of winter, although the players at Guili's birth point were slightly better off, they were still complaining.
There were complaints on the forum that the officers and soldiers who had been deported did not say a word and arrested every one they saw. What is even more outrageous is that some players hid themselves and were reported by the common people!
There are a limited number of officers and soldiers that players can still hide from, but there is really nothing the players can do about NPCs like ordinary people who can be seen everywhere, so most of them are caught.
Fortunately, although the players in Guili were arrested, they were not used for direct experiments like Lidong. Guili only restricted their scope of activities. To be precise, they were isolated. Players in the isolated area They don't care what they do, and there will even be special people coming to deliver supplies to them.
The two sides are slowly communicating in this way.
Of course, there are some lucky ones. For example, the little wolf cub saw a girl called "Become a pirate with the big sister!" 】s post.
The poster was lucky enough to bump into a special NPC when he was being chased by returning officers and soldiers, and was later recruited into the fleet. The follow-up movements are not yet known. The poster said that he would update here in real time as soon as there are new developments.
Regarding the recorded posts to this kind of special players, the little wolf cub silently added them to his favorites. These are all precious war reporters!
Gui Li and Lin Dong had seen almost everything, and Xiao Langzhong finally focused on Yanyu and... Qiandao, which he cared most about.
