Players’ NPC daddy

"Elopement is such an ugly word! It's just an impulse, blinded by desire, without any consideration for the future. I'm different. I will plan carefully and arrange everything!"

Blaze and Herbie looked at each other. They guessed that Kullene would refute, but they didn't expect the refutation to be in this place.

However, they really had nothing to blame Cyrene for in this regard, because Cyrene was talking about things that happened four or five hundred years ago.

The children of the nobility at that time were essentially commodities for exchange, a chaotic era like that. Their parents would not have any sympathy for them, as they themselves were commodities for exchange.

In such a background, the elopement of aristocratic children or ladies was not uncommon, and it is considered a beautiful story today.

One of the start-up funds that Kullene saved was to perform as a bard and sell expensive chocolates at aristocratic gatherings. It was normal for him to interfere in the marriages between aristocratic children that were only for profit.

But what made Blaze and Herbie speechless was that Kullene did not care about gender, age or youth when attacking.

Sometimes, she is a noble girl who has a spirit of sacrifice but is still confused; sometimes, she is a noble boy who is determined for the future of his family; most of the time, she is a noble lady who has an unhappy marriage and has to give birth to children to inherit noble blood; and sometimes, she is a noble head who has gradually become numb and indifferent.

Culene really doesn't care at all whether someone is male or female, young or old, beautiful or ugly, fat or thin.

But this is not surprising, Kullene is not always having sex.

There is a saying that goes, knowledge is a kind of transcendent sexiness. Cyrene has infinite knowledge and experience, and anyone would be fascinated by him.

Talk to boys and girls about the outside world, and talk to adults who are numb about the inner world.

In a sense, this guy is not a sex maniac, but a succubus, a heartthrob.

It's a pity that this free and romantic man finally decided to devote all his energy to the [Hermes Traveling Hat] and retired from the world.

To this day, although the aristocratic circle is no longer filled with cold interests like it was hundreds of years ago, the story of a mysterious bard is still circulating.

"I say, what would you do if this man named Naylan Abyssion found you through the love stories among the nobles?"

"That's not surprising." Kullene pouted at Hebi, "This little guy found me that way, too."

"Because there are no such stories about bards in Arcadia who are lovers of nobles regardless of gender or age, so when I first heard of such a story, I was very surprised and started to investigate. I didn't expect the result..."

Herbie held his forehead with his hand, showing a headache expression, as if he had found something dirty in his own home.

Kullene didn't care. She must have seen this kind of reaction many times on her direct relatives, the fast-walking ostriches, and she was immune to it.

"Okay, okay, now that we've chosen a spot, we're just going to wait for the guests to arrive." Blaze found a corner and stood there.

The other party asked them to choose the seat, which meant that they were the host and they were the guests. I have to say, they were quite polite.

But...

Blaze turned his head to look out the window, and the strangers from [Azazel] appeared, and with them came a young man.

The young man seemed to notice his gaze, raised his head and smiled at him.

Let them choose the location, but they can come here on their own without being notified.

Although he bowed with respect, his head was always raised proudly, his eyes fixed on his enemy.

Chapter 1547 You Will Understand

Kurenhei held his chin, wondering when was the last time he made such an open provocation.

The answer is that twenty years ago, the man who proposed the [Transmission Tower Network] slapped the plan in front of him and asked him in front of a bunch of monsters if he dared to take the gamble.

Even Herbie couldn't compare to that man, so he said he dared to bet, but he wanted to bet that the man would lose, while the man bet that he would win, and win completely.

As a result, the man did not see when he won.

Human beings have a short lifespan to begin with, and if they work hard their lifespan becomes even shorter.

What was the last sentence that man left for him? It seemed to be an apology, sorry for not letting him lose completely. What an arrogant man, he...

clap clap-

"Old man, be serious."

The sound of Hebi snapping his fingers made Kullene react and realized that he was declaring war.

"I bet you lose." Kullene said without thinking.

"The position of King of Atlantis will not be yours. It will be taken by us [Hermes' Traveling Hat]."

"Then I'll just have to bet that we'll win." Naylan smiled and tidied up the documents on the table.

"Hey, why did you make the decision on your own?" Herbie couldn't help rolling her eyes. The purpose of [Hermes' Traveling Hat] is to make money through harmony, and she was still thinking about cooperation.

Regardless of whether the advantage is on one's side or not, there will definitely be no good outcome from the conflict.

"After ensuring that his only weapon would not be targeted by us, this kid just wanted to have a fair duel with us." Kullene grinned.

"This is a battle where if you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win. It's as simple as that."

"That's right, so I'm even willing to tell you the last place." Naylan pushed a map to the other side of the table, into Kullene's hands.

"Just collecting the [Ica Black Stone] is not enough to start the Battle of the King of Atlantis. You need to bring it to a specific location, which is the sunken place of the ocean kingdom Atlantis, to trigger it."

"How about we have a showdown there in a week?"

"That sounds good. It's just that the Ica Black Stones you have are not enough. You have to take into account the talents we have. But there is no reason for me not to accept this direct provocation. It just so happens that I don't know the sinking point of Atlantis."

Kullene raised his chin and accepted Naylan's challenge.

Although it is called a battle, it will actually be a fairly peaceful process. Both parties will bring the Ica Stones they salvaged to the same location and compare their weights. The side with the heavier stone will win.

It's that simple.

This may be the world's first and most primitive contest, and also the world's first rule. However, a long time has passed, and the pleasure and benefits brought by breaking the rules have made these simple rules become broken and complicated.

The rules become more delicate because of the cracks, but also extremely fragile.

"What is your purpose?" Blaze couldn't help but ask.

Because Naylan and [Azazel] did not do anything to directly harm the interests of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] and just carried out mining silently, so Hebi gave Naylan quite good conditions, including cooperation and recognition of development rights.

If Neylan stops here and cooperates, it will be a mutually beneficial outcome.

Hebie had also conducted an investigation before and confirmed that Naylan actually had no background and was just a small chaebol, and she was also willing to provide some security guarantees.

But Naylan rejected them all.

This is somewhat confusing. You have to know that the conditions given by Hebi are the same as if Naylan has already won. Even if Naylan finally defeats the [Hermes' Traveling Hat] and even becomes the King of Atlantis, this is all he can get.

Naylan looked at Blaze and suddenly smiled.

"You'll understand."

"Ha~" Blaze couldn't help but laugh. He had heard "You won't understand, you won't comprehend" many times, but this was the first time he had heard "You will understand".

This is really interesting. When those paranoid guys shouted "You won't understand, you won't comprehend", he understood. But when the person in front of him said "You will understand", he really didn't understand.

But this made him look forward to the week later even more.

After [Azazel], Naylan and the others left, Hebi sorted out the documents on his desk and couldn't help complaining.

She had worked hard for half a day to prepare in order to avoid conflicts as much as possible, but in the end, one of them understood the other, and the other wanted to bet on the other to lose, making it seem like she was the only one on one side in the whole room, and everyone else was on the other side.

Blaze raised his hands in surrender. He really didn't understand what the other party was thinking. Maybe he understood, but he probably didn't realize it.

As for Cyrene, she was much more irresponsible.

"If everything goes well, then we will just be standing still, which is equal to death. Only with collisions can there be sparks of inspiration, and only with collisions can there be inspiration."

"Your inspiration is quite wasted."

“Hard work is the most cost-effective extravagance in the world. It is a sure win and you can always reap the benefits from it no matter what.”

Kullene put her feet on the table and leaned back, causing the chair to swing dangerously.

Although he acted frivolously, his expression was only serious.

"let me see……"

"He's trying to figure out how to deal with Naylan Abyssion." Hebi took Blaze away, giving Kullene a quiet environment.

"You guys think this is a fair fight, but I tend to overthink and think this might be a trap."

"It must be a trap, and an open trap at that." Blaze spread his hands and explained to Herbie's stunned expression.

"The production of Ica Black Stone decreased before. At that time, we suspected that someone was messing with it. No, it should be said that they were mining together with us."

"Although we have captured Azazel, we don't know what method they used, so I think they will use the same method to snatch the Ika Black Stone from us that day and achieve complete victory."

"Isn't this a trap?" Herbie raised his eyebrows and his eyes began to roll around, obviously starting to think about how to fight back.

"Not really. He didn't lie. On that day, whoever possesses more Ika Black Stones will be the winner."

"So if we speculate this way, the lighter one will probably lean towards the heavier side, allowing the heavier side to have it all." Blaze shrugged and smiled helplessly.

"This means that our original thought, that even if we lose, we can still share the rights to the ocean through the [Ica Black Stone] in our hands, now it seems that there is no chance~"

"This is a competition where there is only winning and losing. There is no such thing as an incomplete loss, and no such thing as an incomplete win."

Chapter 1548 The blazing flame

After players were drained of their energy by one big event after another, a week of sunshine and peace made them thirsty again.

When they can't stand it anymore, they shout that they don't want it anymore, then they finish it in a sweat, and when there is no more, they roll on the ground again, feeling itchy and unbearable. This is a player.

Coincidentally, the reason why the players recovered so quickly was because most of the teleportation tower network collapsed, making it impossible to teleport quickly around the world and they could only rely on walking.

Originally, many players felt that this situation would definitely cause dissatisfaction among other players in this fast-paced era, and they would complain about why the official did not fix the BUG quickly.

But in fact, the forum has entered a very quiet state. Some people are discussing career equipment, but more people are sharing what they have seen and heard, as if it has become a travel website.

Without the teleportation tower, players can only walk slowly on their own feet, and the scenery they once passed by appears in their sight.

In order to travel faster, players chose various mounts, studied the ecology seriously, and shared them like travel guides. Some people rode bears, and some rode snails.

Of course, what is recommended more than mounts are the scenery and culture.

Players found the same yet different answers again and again to each question, which is what a magical and wonderful world this is.

However, the players are also quite uncomfortable with this. They don't want too big an event, as it might be too stimulating and make them instantly tired. They would rather have something a little more relaxing.

At this time, [Hermes' Travel Cap] launched a permanent event, a deep-sea exploration event, and also provided a new set of suits. However, the name of this new series is a question mark, and players need to use these equipment to obtain a lot of contributions before they can be officially unlocked.

Although the [Deep Sea Exploration Activity] is a permanent activity, there are also limited-time activities in the permanent activities, which is to salvage the [Ica Black Stone].

It is used to repair the teleportation tower network and to summon the legendary Atlantis.

Atlantis, one of the lost kingdoms, is also the first lost kingdom discovered by players.

After all, the ocean kingdom of Atlantis is so famous and has no public copyright, so it can appear in any work, so players ask everyone they meet whether there is Atlantis, just like they are trying to scam others.

Of course there are results.

In the beginning, players were quite keen on finding Atlantis, but the ocean area of ​​the original top world was not very large, and sailing on the sea was difficult, so Atlantis was always in an awkward state where people knew it existed but no one was looking for it.

Now there is an organized campaign to develop Atlantis, which of course saves a lot of energy.

Players just need to enjoy the activities and the fantasy ocean world. Hermes' Traveling Hat, which organizes the activities, has a lot of things to consider. It's obvious that the Drifting Island teleportation network that facilitates ocean activities took a lot of effort.

Initially, the activity was lukewarm and slow, and many players found it very strange. Why did the players who were usually so anxious and wanted to rush into the depths of the earth like a ground-penetrating missile now swim slowly in the sea like turtles and frogs?

Later, another activity that was comparable to "Hermes's Traveling Cap" appeared, which also involved salvaging the "Ika Black Stone" and provided completely different equipment called the Atlantis series for deep-sea diving.

The players then started to get excited and resumed their former speed and efficiency. The reason was simple: with competitors in tow, they had the energy to do anything.

However, the two seemingly conflicting activities unexpectedly did not produce any conflicts. Both sides were racing to see who could obtain more [Ika Black Stones]. It was extremely simple.

But behind this peaceful appearance, a fire of chaos was ignited.

The house of the Abyssion Group was set on fire.

"As expected, they attacked, hahaha~"

Naylan looked at the sea of ​​fire in front of him and laughed helplessly.

"Woo-"

He was carrying a large fish barrel on his back and making anxious whimpering sounds. In the barrel was Abyssion, a mermaid who was a few years younger than him.

"Don't worry, this is all to be expected."

Naylan said a comforting word, and ran out of the deepest room in the house carrying a fish bucket on his back. In the sea of ​​fire, the exquisite clay paintings were peeled off from the wall in the flames, fell into the flames and turned into meaningless charcoal.

It's not surprising that the big capitalists would launch the attack so quickly. It's just a matter of time before they get rid of the donkey.

Having a formal, face-to-face conversation with [Hermes's Traveling Hat] is a very important matter, representing the entire chaebol alliance.
