After being promoted to regent, Xiao Zhi's life has not changed much, except that he can enter and leave the Hall of Bones at will, and there is an extra lord and pet, other contents are still the same as before.
Perhaps because of the psychological shadow caused by the six hundred years of separation, in the first few days, Frost always followed Xiao Zhi in Hesse.
So often there will be a picture like this:
The regent in black with a white gauze covering his head floated ahead to inspect the trade area, followed by the Lord of Hesse in black armor and a hideous helmet.
The moment the figures of the two appeared in the trade area, the entire trade area suddenly fell silent. Whether it is the undead or the foreigners who come to do business or buy things, they are all as quiet as a chicken.
Everyone looked at the two people who were advancing in horror, excitement or worry, just like poultry waiting to be slaughtered at any time in a restaurant, no one made a sound, and everyone also kept a motionless posture tacitly, as if they were deeply afraid. Which action caught the attention of the Great Killing God, and was stabbed by a sudden sword to the point of chills.
This also makes the trade zone look like a wax museum during the daily inspection hours.
In this way, the inspection cannot go on, because at this time, everyone in the trade zone can't even have a normal dialogue.
The undead may be excited, talk incoherently, ask him how he is doing recently, and will answer "Long live the lord" and "I envy the regent". Most of the other races were too frightened to speak, and their eyes wandered and erratically, looking like thieves, but in fact they didn't do anything after checking, they were just frightened.
Facing this kind of scene, Xiao Zhi felt extremely embarrassed, he had to be thankful that his head was covered with a white gauze, otherwise everyone would have noticed the twitching expression on his face.
In this regard, Frost expressed his innocence. He obviously did nothing. Why are these people so timid
In the end, Xiao Zhi had no choice but to prevent Frost from patrolling with him, and forcibly ignored his calm and unwilling eyes.
·
On this day, Xiao Zhi, who did not carry weapons of mass destruction, came to the trade area alone.
The moment the regent appeared, the entire trade area subconsciously stopped for a moment. After confirming that there was no indescribable person behind the regent, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the entire trade area resumed its previous bustle. .
All kinds of scrutinizing eyes fell on Xiao Zhi's body. Ever since he became a clerk, there were many such eyes, and Xiao Zhi had long been used to it. He just entered the government affairs center with everyone's hot eyes on him.
From time to time there are whispering voices behind me, but the volume is not "whispering" at all:
"Look, that's the clerk!"
"Now he is the regent. I heard that he has officially lived in the Hall of Bones? A lot of furniture has been added to the Hall of Bones, and they must all be prepared for him."
"Why did the lord let people go today?"
"I guess he will definitely be captured later, and then the lord..."
"Hey hey..."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
It seems that the undead are still too idle, and Milton can arrange more work for them.
Enter the government affairs center.
Xiao Zhi first went to Milton's place, and Teague was learning from Milton to deal with various matters required for government affairs. Because of this guy's various profiteering deeds, Xiao Zhi doubted whether he could become a reliable official, so he asked Milton to keep an eye on him by the way,
In the office.
Teague held a document in his left hand and a notebook filled with undead characters in his right hand, and approached Milton: "Mr. Milton, I don't understand this place very well..."
Milton raised his head from the paperwork and looked towards the place indicated by Teague: "This is a Hessian saying, which means 'nothing is easier than death'."
"Thank you, Mr. Milton." After thanking Milton, Teague went back to take notes. He looked very serious, and there were many books of notes that had been read over and over again on the desk next to him, which showed how hard Teague was working.
Seeing this joyful scene, Xiao Zhi's heart that had been hanging over him was also relieved.
Because he was finally able to become the official of his dreams, Teague acted very seriously. Even Milton, who has always been reserved, praised his study progress to Xiao Zhi in private, and expressed his appreciation for the addition of an aggressive and smart colleague. gratified.
Teague is not a guy who is treacherous and greedy by nature. Due to his lack of status and family power in the Dolly League, he can only pave the way for his dream by making money through fraud. But in Hessen, after having a channel to rise through his own efforts, the tenacity and intelligence of Teague's character are perfectly reflected.
He is cunning, slick, and good at observing words and deeds, but these are not bad things, or to be a qualified official, these are advantages. Maybe Teague will become a very good diplomat in the future.
Afterwards, Xiao Zhi and Milton communicated about various matters in Hesse recently.
All the long night badges created for the players have been distributed, and the cooperation with the Dolly Alliance is gradually unfolding. There are just a lot of tasks that can be assigned to the players.
The players worked very hard, comparable to the undead who love to generate electricity, which surprised Milton, because the rewards for these tasks were not high in his opinion.
Of course, this is because he doesn't know that stable daily tasks can provide players with a lot of experience, even if they don't give money, players will actively complete the tasks. Just looking through the forum and the world, you can see that many players are expressing their regret for missing the multiplayer hidden mission, regretting why they slept so early that day.
When working with the Dolly League, Teague's knowledge of the inside of the Dolly League also came in handy. He knows almost all the suppliers in the alliance and the forces behind them, their behavior style, and their black history, so that Hessen can eliminate those unreliable partners in the first place.
When leaving the government affairs center, Xiao Zhi accidentally saw Youjin outside.
After waking up in Frost before, Eugene was taken away by Lance. Xiao Zhi told Lance that if Eugene wanted to leave, he could escort him away at any time, and he also returned the other party's storage ring, and sent a generous gift to express his gratitude and apologize for his offending behavior.
Unexpectedly, after such a period of time, Eugene was still in Hessen, and the bag on his head was gone, and he was not wearing a mask. He was just walking around in the trade area with his original appearance, and his steps were quite brisk. .
Xiao Zhi stepped forward and greeted him: "Eugene."
Eugene actually returned the salute with a smile on his face: "Mr. Seventeen, congratulations on your promotion."
This smile made Xiao Zhi a little confused, what happened to Eugene? Why does he seem to be in such a good mood? Is this still the eccentric Eugene he knew before
It seemed that he also found that his performance was inconsistent, and Eugene scratched his head embarrassedly: "Well, I'm thinking about staying in the trade zone, and it seems pretty good to open a clinic here."
Xiao Zhi asked with some doubts: "Aren't you going back to No Man's Land?"
Eugene shook his head and said, "I don't want to go back. I can't see anyone there all day long. It's so boring, and Grand Duke Warren has fallen, so I don't need to avoid him anymore. How wonderful Hesse is, everyone is so enthusiastic , and looks so pleasing to the eye, you really didn't lie to me."
After finishing speaking, he glanced around with satisfaction at all kinds of zombies with corpse spots, skeletons, opened undead, dry mummies...
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Probably, this guy is quite satisfied with his top status in Hessen...
To what extent are you Xiyue clan obsessed with beauty
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi saw that the happy smile on Eugene's face disappeared, and turned into astonishment and panic.
In the next moment, Eugene, who was quite happy at first, covered his face and burst into tears: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Xiao Zhi was confused: "What?"
What's wrong with this man, he laughs and cries for a while, could it be that the treatment made his brain go wrong
Youjin still covered his face and cried loudly, but pointed behind Xiao Zhi with one empty hand.
Xiao Zhi turned his head to look, just in time to see Teague coming out of the government affairs center with a stack of papers in his hands, his footsteps seeming to be sent somewhere in a hurry. Because the sky in Hesse is always gloomy and there are trees that can shade the sun, he didn't wrap himself in a cloak.
Unlike Eugene's face, which needs to be lowered by the people around him, Teague's face is considered top-notch even among the Xiyue clan. After becoming an undead, his pale complexion gave him a different flavor, and now this beautiful face was exposed in full view.
The walking breeze raised Teague's clothes and brushed his hair. Even if he just walked casually like this, it was a moving picture.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
False, top-notch looks meet real top-notch looks, isn't it just a matter of being hanged
Xiao Zhi thought about it, and finally came up with a reason to comfort Youjin: "Don't worry, in the eyes of the undead, your looks are all on the same level."
As long as there is a complete head, it is considered cute in Hesse.
Eugene: "..."
The location chosen for the consultation room should be far away from the government affairs center...
the farther the better...
·
Hessen gradually opened up, and news came from Mulanfasha from the Yuan Clan that the repair of the teleportation array was completed, and with the cooperation from the Dolly Alliance, Xiao Zhi had more and more things in his hands.
Xiao Zhi once again promoted Milton and several other capable officials. By the way, he also arranged for Teague to be a formal diplomat, and asked him to deal with the treacherous Xiyue tribe. This is called Yixi Tidal system.
At the same time, two officials from other countries they were optimistic about sacrificed their lives and successfully turned into undead, which added manpower to them.
What a joy.
Day by day, various miscellaneous sources of experience allowed Xiao Zhi to reach level 220 without much effort, and he was only 20 levels away from the full level of 240.
Xiao Zhi feels that Hesse is the easiest place to level up. He can gain a lot of experience by just sitting and flipping through paperwork every day, which is completely different from his jumping up and down in other maps, climbing trees and diving into the sea.
During this time, Xiao Zhi did not stop investigating Blaise.
The more he investigates, the more confused he feels. Whether he checks the forum or asks his teachers and brothers, Blaise is a conservative religious country that talks about it from the outside.
Business is suppressed here, all people believe in religion, there are many rules, and the hierarchy is strict. If you don’t pay attention, you will be punished and expelled. It is the least favorite place for players who love freedom and do things. Except for priests and knights, there are very few Players often go there.
The reason they have been against Hesse is also the old-fashioned "light will drive away darkness".
As for the deeper purpose, it was not revealed at all.
Xiao Zhi felt very puzzled. It has been hundreds of years without revealing any flaws. How strict is the organization and management required to do this? According to the news, Blaise should be divided into several factions, and they have been fighting with each other. Which faction is it that attacked Frost? Or is it the secret of the entire Brace high-level
However, during this period of time, Xiao Zhi did a screening of Brace's high-level executives five hundred years ago, and found news about the old man who appeared in Frost's memory.
Xiao Zhi sat in front of Frost's desk, flipping through the materials in his hand.
The current Hall of Bones is different from before. It is no longer empty as if not interested in anything. Instead, there are many more furniture and collectibles. Armor with big holes, and even vases made of unknown skulls as decorations.
Although it seems more gloomy than before, for the undead, this should be called the feeling of home.
Warm and beautiful.
Xiao Zhi accepted this well and did not feel any discomfort from being frightened.
The old man was named Andre, and he had been a devout follower of Brace's religion since he was a child. He became a bishop and archbishop all the way from the lowest priest, and finally became the twenty-fourth pope of Brace, and died ten years later.
Judging from the information, Andre is humble, sincere and friendly to others, has an excellent reputation among the congregation, and can be said to be a highly respected figure. But this is completely different from the fierce and hypocritical guy that Xiao Zhi saw in Frost's memories. Presumably, the information released by the church must have been beautified and disguised to a certain extent.
There is also a gossip that the Pope's intended successor was not Andre, but another archbishop, Greyata.
Greata was considered a genius, twenty years younger than Andre, but he had already been promoted to archbishop, and his reputation among the congregation almost crushed Andre. But because of an accident, Greyata disappeared. Some people said that he had betrayed God, and some said that he was polluted by the dead, and the church had to purify him.
Anyway, in the end, Andre successfully ascended the Pope's throne, and Greyata was forgotten by the world.
Xiao Zhi always felt that Greata's disappearance might have something to do with Andre. But it has been too many years, and the players back then did not have Li Daye's full-time game research, and they didn't know the truth of the matter.
While thinking, Xiao Zhi felt a scorching gaze, and he knew who the owner of this gaze was without thinking.
Xiao Zhi turned his head and met Frost's calm eyes: "What's wrong?"
Frost sat on the sofa and looked at him quietly.
Seeing that Frost didn't answer, Xiao Zhi asked again: "A Sen, what are you looking at me for?"
Frost shook his head and didn't speak, but his eyes still fixed on Xiao Zhi, like a cat peeping at its master's work. But now he is no longer hiding behind the door, but looking directly at it with great fanfare, which can be regarded as some kind of progress.
Xiao Zhi put down the documents in his hands with a puzzled expression, got up from the table and walked to Frost.
He reached out and touched Frost's forehead. He didn't have a fever, but he was still as cold as a corpse. What's wrong with this man
Frost's knuckle-boned hand lightly grasped Xiao Zhi's hand on his forehead, and took it off, but he didn't let go, he just held Xiao Zhi's slender hand in his palm.
The room was silent and a little dark, which seemed to be suitable for brewing some beautiful atmosphere.
Xiao Zhi felt his heart beat two beats quietly, it was not obvious, but it was hard to ignore.
After a while, Frost's deep voice sounded: "The time is coming soon, you said before that you will sleep deeply today."
After 600 years of technological development, players can of course sleep and rest in the game, but the sleep that Xiao Zhi said is different from ordinary rest, because he is going to go offline tonight. Tomorrow is the school anniversary of Haizong, and all students need to go to the No. 1 star to participate. This is also a rare event for Haizong to gather all members.
Frost had a vague feeling that this sleep was different from ordinary sleep. It was the kind of sleep six hundred years ago. Although it looked like a deep sleep, he felt the subtle difference.
He didn't even want to hear the word "good night". The last good night made him wait for six hundred years. This time...
Xiao Zhi comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, this time it will be very fast, I promise."
Frost looked at him deeply for a long time before slowly nodding: "Okay."
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Zhi also prepared to find a place to go offline. I don’t know if it was not taken into account when the layout was made, or Hessen’s beds were not many in the first place. In the entire Hall of Bones, there is only one bed in Frost’s room. Fortunately, this bed is big enough to accommodate five Lances on it. roll.
Xiao Zhi skillfully lay down on Frost's big bed, adjusted his posture and prepared to get off the assembly line.
Frost followed him and stood by the bed, just like Xiao Zhi did every time he went offline in Hesse many years ago. The platinum golden eyes have been locked on Xiao Zhi, the emotions in the eyes are too complicated, like a deep pool brewing with an undercurrent, but on the surface they are calm.
Xiao Zhi reached out and wrapped a strand of Frost's silver hair with his fingertips, this time he avoided the word "good night": "See you tomorrow."
Following Xiao Zhi's strength, Frost moved a little closer to facilitate Xiao Zhi's movements, but his tendency to approach did not stop, and he continued to bend down bit by bit.
Xiao Zhi watched the familiar face in front of him getting closer and closer, and he could clearly see Frost's straight nose, knife-like outline, and... those eyes staring deeply at him.
Xiao Zhi felt that his heart rate was quietly increasing again, and his posture was gradually getting out of control.
In the end, the slightly cool lips brushed against his ears, and the soft touch caused itches. Frost's voice was played very softly, with a little lingering breath, which seemed to melt into people's hearts: "Tomorrow See… "
