"You don't want your certificate?" The man put down his pen, stood up with a twist of his robe, walked down the steps unhurriedly, and asked.
Li Xin didn't look back: "Will you give it to me?"
The man came over and sat down opposite her, leaning on the back of the sofa and humming again: "How do you know if you don't try?"
This is the first time Li Xin has had such a close face-to-face encounter with him since he went online.
He has grown a lot taller, a size larger than when he was a teenager, with slender shoulders and long legs. He is sitting on the sofa with thin armour close to the waist and robes draped. He is also a big one. The flesh on his cheeks stretched out and grew into a handsome, well-defined silhouette, and there was a layer of majesty and suffocation that was not possessed by the young boy in the past.
When those blue eyes that became narrower and longer looked over, even when they were obviously in a good mood, there was a kind of tension in their eyes that was not angry.
Even the smile has changed from showing teeth and curling eyes when he was happy, to now the corners of his mouth are slightly lifted, and he is calm and calm.
In this way, it is a bit like the Great Sir Moros I saw in the last life. However, Li Xin remembered and recalled the memory and compared it. The great jazz in the memory always wore black, and his expression was a little colder. Many times he didn't even bother to show the arc of the corner of his mouth.
The timeline is also about the time when Kerian was transferred to the post of "Moros Minister of State Administration".
Like the head of the guards, the head of the department belongs to the post of the city lord in the miracle government system. And because the civilian jurisdiction is trivial, it also means that the scope of power is also wider. In fact, the director of the government affairs department has a slight tendency to be higher than the commander of the guard.
Corian was leaning against the sofa in his royal blue gown, and there was a sense of complacency in his heart. The fabric of his robe is smooth and soft. Although it is not piled up brightly, the dark lines on the cuffs, the broken gems and pearls inlaid all over the body are all fine and perfect and just right.
The clothes are bright and bright, the house is spacious and comfortable, and he occupies a high position in the second-in-command of the main city in the east. It is perfect, completely perfect "homecoming".
Kerian maintained a reserved chuckle on his face, looking up at Li Xin who was opposite. This smile is what he used to be in the "official circles" over the years.
The ladies especially liked it when he laughed like that, and often stared at him at banquets.
"Does your tooth hurt?" After a while, Li Xin asked suspiciously.
Corian: "… "
With a sudden smile, Kerian took a sip of tea indifferently.
"My document." Li Xin said slowly, "When do you want it for me?"
Might have to do a task. She sighed inwardly.
This is a drawback after being familiar with NPCs, and sometimes it is self-defeating. NPCs also have emotions and temperaments. They will send quests to players who have a good impression, and they will also stumble upon players who have conflicts, so that you can't accomplish some very simple things.
For example, Li Xin had no difficulty in handling this certificate. Now Kerian, who has grown into a director, wants to intervene and card her, so Li Xin has nothing to do.
Li Xin felt that she was an irrelevant bystander about the previous plot, but she didn't know what he thought about Kerian.
Kerian still looked indifferent: "Where are you going to get this certificate?"
His blue eyes glanced at her, and he couldn't tell what emotion he was carrying, both mocking and angry: "The little eastern continent can't hold you again? Can't wait to travel around the world? It's only a few days after arriving in Moros. God, this is going? What about them—do they know you're going?"
Li Xin frowned, puzzled: "Who are you? Marianne?"
"Boom—"
The white tea cup fell on the black slate floor.
"Don't mention her name in front of me!" Kerian's eyes were heavy, his pupils were constricted with anger, and silver faintly appeared in the depths.
When he was furious, the momentum on his body was fully open, and the hair on the side of his ears and the corners of his robe were faintly supported by the overflowing qi.
Like a tyrannical beast, it is hard for anyone staring at him to not feel fear and suffocation.
Li Xin silently put down the cup, stood up and walked out.
She judged in her heart: Today, the NPC's mood has been ruined, and the mission is no play. Come back tomorrow.
"You!" Kerian watched in disbelief as she stood up and walked out without saying a word. Seeing that she was about to reach the door, the breath in her chest suddenly changed, and she panicked: "You again Where are you going?!—You are so reluctant to see me? Why, afraid that your good teacher and good gentleman will suspect you? You…”
Li Xin turned her head to look at him, judged his mood with her eyes, and planned to decide whether there was a possibility of getting the task today.
That gaze was calm, with a little exploration, and the way he glanced at himself from the beginning made the various boiling emotions in Kerian's heart inexplicably calmed down.
He even smiled in the mood.
"Don't you want your pass," he said, "then go tell her that you have come to see me."
"Received the task: [inform Marian]
Publisher: Kerian
Mission Reward: Unknown"
It's that simple? Li Xin's gaze towards Kerian was a little strange.
Over there, Kerian recognized this look as hesitant, and for a while there was an unpredictable and uncontrollable anger in his heart. He sneered: "Don't dare? You..."
"The ID card was originally mine." Li Xin said.
"?" Kerian said indifferently: "It's yours? You think I can't..." Detain
Li Xin glanced at him and finished the last sentence: "So it can't be counted as what you gave me. It can't be counted as a bargaining chip for me to do things."
Kerian was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to realize that she was probably... asking for something
He didn't figure out what she meant for a while, and tentatively said: "... two gold coins?"
"Deal." Li Xin decided immediately, turned around and quickly opened the door and left.
She made up her mind temporarily because she felt that Kerian had changed ten years later, and that she lacked a person to please, which was a pity.
The relationship between players and NPCs is similar to buying and selling in a sense. It is not difficult to get tasks from a savvy NPC, but it is very difficult and limited to obtain benefits.
Li Xin is really sorry.
But Li Xin felt a familiar smell of "I can fool you" when Kerian released this "talking" task, so she couldn't help but try it out.
The results were gratifying.
In essence, this person still has the shadow of the boy who was fooled by her to buy the rabbit. Even now, she doesn't need to talk too much. He seems to have learned to "automate".
Two gold coins are comparable to a rich secondary mission.
Li Xin walked briskly towards the teaching hall.
She is also looking for a trip to Marianne to submit a previous errand assignment.
After running the pre-tasks for so many days, Li Xin had a hunch that the task chain should be coming. Not today or tomorrow.
As one of the core NPCs of Marvel, there is no doubt that the quest chain given by Marianne will be linked to the world plot.
He walked in through the gate and turned into the spiral attic where Marianne belonged. Li Xin has been going back and forth between the oracles in the past few days, running Marian's quests, so that the NPCs in this area are already very familiar with her. Some even called her name with a smile when they saw her.
"Good day, Miss Gu Le."
"Good day, DeRita."
Responding with a smile all the way, Li Xin walked up to the second floor and knocked on the door of Marianne's office.
"Please come in."
Li Xin pushed the door and went in. Behind the white desk, Marianne, who was wearing a light golden dress, was reviewing an official document. Seeing her come in, she raised her eyes and smiled at Lixin.
"Here? Sit down."
Rarely, she was alone at this time.
Today's Marianne is very busy. These days, Li Xin realized that she is now almost alone in charge of the headquarters of the oracle, and even many things in each branch need her to handle. Li Xin came ten times, and nine times she had visitors here.
"I have delivered your things for you." Li Xin said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Marianne said softly, apologetically, "Can I sit for a while? I need to finish this first."
Li Xin nodded slightly, found a place to sit down, picked up a book on the tea table and flipped through it.
The Ecclesiastical Calendar.
It is a roster and event record book. It contains the names of all the branches and serving members of the Church, as well as the major events that happened in the church.
Li Xin browsed through the pages at a glance, and found a familiar name in the back pages.
Marianne Regus - Vice-Chancellor of the Church of Moros Church.
Augs Kari - Vice-President of the Church of Moros Church.
Li Xin slid her gaze upwards, turned back a few pages, and found two other names.
Quelia. Legus - served as the head of the Church (the 17th).
Li Xin remembered the name, Marianne's mother. Her gaze rested on another name, just below Quelia.
Dreddy Cary - Vice-President of the Church of the Edict.
Having the same surname as Augus, and being so close to the name of the previous church master, Li Xin glanced at it and wrote down the name.
This should be the "teacher" in the mouths of Augs and Marian.
Strangely, both Marian and Augus were vice-chairmen, but there was a vacancy for the position of "Morose Church", and the position of the 18th "Educational Church" was also vacant.
Li Xin turned a few more pages, and then heard Marianne behind the table breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Okay, it's finally done."
"Cody," she said slightly.
A tall female NPC immediately pushed the door in and took the official document.
She is a character similar to "Secretary". Around Marianne, there were five or six such "secretaries".
The things they did were similar to the tasks that Marian had assigned to Li Xin during this period, so Kodi and the others looked at Li Xin probably like "there's a new colleague here".
"It's been a long wait." After Kodi left and the door was closed again, Marianne smiled slightly, walked to Li Xin and sat down.
"I saw Kerian, teacher." Li Xin said.
"Mission accomplished: [inform Marianne]."
Marianne was obviously startled, her long eyelashes drooped, and she sighed softly for a while.
"He, how has he been recently?" Marianne turned her head, her lake-green eyes were deep and soft in the light from the window, "I haven't seen him for a long time."
