In the end, Hopps did not register to change his surname, not because it was too weird for a man named Lebit, but because he was a little reluctant to let go of the surname Wilder.
Although this surname brings me mostly gloomy and melancholy memories, there are always some beautiful ones and some warm ones.
His father stood in front of him, shielding him from the wind and rain like a big tree.
Although he often criticizes himself, his father is very determined and severe to prevent his tribe from taking action against him.
When he takes himself to pay homage to his mother, his father will always show a gentle smile in front of the faded portrait.
The night before I sent myself away, I talked to myself about the past, about meeting my mother, getting married, about my birth, about my mother's death, and about all the trivial matters over the years. In the end, all the memories turned into a sigh and silence. The departed father.
If there was anything he couldn't let go of the Wilder family, it was those wonderful warm memories.
Ruby does not have these delicate thoughts, and his life is not as complicated as Hopps. After some thought, he decided to use "Siliwu" as his surname, which means "Silver Mine".
"Why not use 'Misril'?" Dudu asked curiously, "Isn't mithril more advanced than silver ore?"
"I still want to use 'Oliha Gang'... But do you think I can reach this level?" Ruby said with a smile, "I am just a little person. If I use a surname that is too powerful, I'm afraid I will get into trouble. .”
So that's how it was settled.
Interestingly, Hopps' friend, the chef Fela, who had a bad relationship with Ruby, did not need to re-register his surname. The surname he chose for himself, "Kenkey", is not used by many people. Even if chefs want to use "Tang" as their surname, they tend to use "Thorpe" or the like.
"Your idea is quite good, it saves trouble." Hopps nodded repeatedly, "Such a surname is memorable and not easy to conflict with others. It is indeed the best choice!"
Fela smiled and asked, "Where's that guy? What last name did he choose?"
Of course Hopps knew who he was referring to, and replied: "I planned to use 'Soder' before, but failed to get into the top two hundred. This time he plans to use 'Sriu'."
"Silver?" Fela sneered, "Then he should think of another last name."
"Why?"
"Don't you think this surname is also very common?" Fela said, "Gold, silver, etc. should be considered a priority for businessmen. Although most businessmen will choose to use the names of their own chambers of commerce or stores as their names. But those who do small business would not consider using this surname."
"But... it's obviously not been used for the full 200 times."
"It was used once but it was less than 200 times, and it was used 199 times but it was less than 200 times." Fela said, "Didn't the last announcement say that in a few days the occupied surnames will be announced? The situation - probably only those that have been occupied will be announced, and some that are already in short supply. I believe 'Sriwu' should be in relatively short supply."
"So it's still possible for Ruby to have that last name?"
"Of course it's possible. It's also 'possible' that I'll pick up a large piece of gold later."
Fela curled her lips disdainfully, picked up a small stone and threw it into the dark night: "Maybe I stopped counting on this kind of thing a long time ago."
After saying that, he turned back to the kitchen to prepare for tomorrow's work.
Hopps stood at the edge of the camp, his shadow swaying like tree branches in the night wind as the dancing bonfire reflected him.
His expression at this moment was completely different from before, and his usual gentle and innocent look was gone.
(Your Majesty, Mask of the Void, what is he trying to do? Could it be that... He is really so anxious to extend the Republic to the whole world? If he is so anxious, is he really not afraid of causing trouble? Oh, he is really not afraid, No one can beat Him anyway...)
Even though he is usually a secretive person, as a member of "Wild", the place he visited most often was the library since he was a child. For the sake of his own safety, Hopps was taught many conspiracy methods by his father. How could Hopps? Maybe he is as silly as he looks
Although he has made up his mind to live his whole life as a worker and will never follow the tradition of the Wilder family's "evil strategist", he still subconsciously ponders and considers various possibilities when encountering such a thing. .
Of course, he considered the issue from a more leisurely and peaceful standpoint.
Others who got the news could not be so leisurely and peaceful.
With a "ping" sound, the precious and exquisite porcelain was smashed to pieces. His Majesty the King, who is usually majestic and noble, frowned and became angry.
"What is the Northwest Republic doing? Do they want to subvert the order of this world!" He roared angrily, "The surname represents family inheritance and is proof of our noble status. How can we allow those untouchables to have it casually? !”
"It's absolutely crazy! It's completely unreasonable! The reason why we can have the glory of our last name is because our ancestors were brave and tenacious and risked their lives to fight for this honor. Why should those untouchables who have done nothing do anything? Can we have a surname? This is simply tarnishing the honor of our ancestors!"
The person standing in front of him smiled bitterly and did not dare to speak.
This contemporary King of the Kingdom of Glory is not that easy to talk to. Especially when he is angry, it is common for him to kill someone if he disagrees.
Therefore, both ministers and servants learned to remain silent when he was angry. Although silence may not prevent disaster, at least it will not cause disaster like talking too much.
The king roared for a while, and his anger finally dissipated. He said in a deep voice, "Do you know the reactions of other countries?"
The minister responsible for collecting intelligence immediately replied: "The Orc Empire has not responded at all, and it probably doesn't care about this. Other countries will not get the news faster than us, so the specific response has not been determined yet."
The king nodded. When he was not angry, he was relatively calm and rational.
He knew very well that no matter how angry he was, he could not win over a god, and it was also impossible to win over the Northwest Republic, which was blatantly supported by gods.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t do anything!
"Contact various countries through secret channels." He thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "I want to have a good talk with the kings of various countries. This matter is not that simple. If you are not careful, it may lead to a situation that can sweep the country away. A great storm for the whole world!”
The ministers withdrew and the king sat down again, lost in thought.
"Mask of the Void... what exactly does he want to do? Also, what is the attitude of our majesties? Do your majesties, the Lord of Glory, agree with this matter, don't care, or are against it?"
These issues must be carefully considered and pondered to determine the final response of the Kingdom of Glory.
But he knew very well that no matter what, he, the Kingdom of Glory, and even every country on the continent must respond to this.
Strong reaction!
