"Smart? How do you say that?" Roland asked curiously.
"The king is dying." Ashrosfen said calmly.
Roland looked surprised. He remembered that the old king looked quite energetic the last time he saw him.
"You can even find out the news that the king is seriously ill?" Roland swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said with admiration: "It stands to reason that if the king himself is seriously ill, he should block the news, right?"
Ashrosfen took out a water bag from his system backpack and was about to pour water to clean his bowl and chopsticks.
However, Roland flicked his fingers with his already grown right hand, and a few water balls floated around Ashrosfen.
After staying for a while, Ash Luofen understood what Roland meant. While washing the wooden bowl and chopsticks in the water balloon, he said with admiration: "It's still convenient for you mages. This little trick in life It’s just too much.”
There were other players nearby who had finished eating. They were about to use the drinking water in the water bag to wash their dishes and chopsticks. But when they saw these water balls, they immediately came over and stuffed their own dishes and chopsticks in. After a while, A few balls of water will become very turbid.
These merchant players have developed a good habit of not wasting resources. After all, for people like them who run around all year round, the clean drinking water in their system backpacks is limited. Although they have made plans, for example When to settle in which city, replenish drinking water and food, but there are often times when plans cannot keep up with changes, so if food can not be wasted, then don't waste it.
Seeing them all coming together, Roland had to summon more than a dozen water balls to come out and wash the dishes for them.
The players who had eaten enough began to gather together to sing songs again.
Andonara and a few others were sitting under a tree not far away, looking at this group of extremely happy players, and they always felt a little inconsistent.
They feel that these people lack a sense of reality in life and are too frivolous. They feel like they are playing with the world and don't care much about anything.
This kind of attitude makes them a little disliked, but somehow, in their hearts, they actually yearn for such a life.
Ashrosfen put the dishes back into his system backpack and continued: "It is true that the news is blocked, but the intensity is not strong. After all, the king is already seriously ill, and many people below will get interested and want to It is impossible to completely block the news."
"So why did the eldest prince speak so loudly at the banquet? To fight for the throne?" Roland was a little confused: "Andonara doesn't have much influence in the royal family. If he does this, it will probably only make people think that he has no taste. , but it will make others think that he has no courage. If he competes for the throne, this will be a negative statement."
Ashrosfen glanced at Andonara in the distance, and then explained: "But among the people he hosted, three of them had enmity with the queen. And those three people are now considered powerful people. He just I want to use this method to tell those three people that if they are interested in the queen, he is their alliance. As for the hatred those three people have against the queen, you can ask them later, she should tell you."
"Do you even know this?"
Roland felt that he still underestimated these businessmen. Their combat effectiveness might not be very strong, but their intelligence capabilities were really outrageous.
"Don't sit down for business." Ashrosfen said with a smile, and then said: "As a businessman, you have to get information about the goods, and you also have to get information about the powerful people, otherwise how can you call it a professional. From then on. The movements of the big shots and accurately predicting the flow of materials in the future market are small means we must master."
"So..." Roland glanced at the circle of carriages: "Your goods this time should all be standard equipment."
"Awesome. It seems that you, Roland, are also qualified to be a businessman. The arms business is extremely profitable." Ashrosfen praised him and said, "There are at least five princes who are capable of competing for the throne, including illegitimate children. , and there are no less than 30 big nobles involved, including the small and medium nobles, they have almost the same power as each other. This time, Huolaiwen's turmoil may last for several years."
"Then there will be a good opportunity for you businessmen to get some rare goods."
Ashrosfen shrugged proudly, looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "In reality, I have failed in several businesses. Although I have not lost all my family property, my spirit has been almost exhausted. I originally failed. This virtual cabin is only used for retirement, but I didn’t expect that I could continue my ideals here. In this turmoil in Huolaiwen, we, the Cornucopia Guild, have to get enough benefits and the right to speak. "
Roland was silent for a while and asked: "You chose a prince to invest?"
"How smart!" Ashrosfen clapped his hands in admiration: "It's amazing. He is worthy of being a man who can play the profession of Master. Are you interested in joining us? Although Huolaiwen is only a small country, if we win, You can also get great benefits.”
Roland looked quietly into Ashrosfen's eyes. The man's expression looked like a domineering husky as always.
He looked at the sand sculpture players who were singing loudly and felt a little emotional in his heart.
No matter how silly or husky the players are, they are essentially talents who have gone through at least ten years of systematic education.
Many undergraduates and graduate students feel that they have learned nothing after more than ten years of study, but that is what they compare to, and they are originally at the same level as themselves.
There are always very few winners, so most people feel that they are ordinary.
But when you put such a group of seemingly ordinary people into this world where knowledge and culture are quite poor.
All of them are top talents.
Although they all look very silly, in essence, they just wear the coat of a husky. They are actually vicious wolves.
After nearly a year of gaming, the players have become accustomed to this world and have explored it to the point where they are ready to open their fangs and take off their husky coats.
Roland was silent for a while and said: "If you invest in one prince, then other guilds will definitely invest in other princes, right?"
"It should be so. At least Jialan Temple has its own goal. Now the guilds with a sense of intelligence are already acting quietly. Only the individual players don't know what will happen." Ashrosfen stood up and looked. Looking into the distance, he said: "A powerful player like you will definitely be a guest of all guilds. In addition to us, other people will definitely recruit you, but I think there should be no guild that is richer than our guild, so we I can give you a lot.”
Roland's eyes followed Ashrosfen. After a while, he looked at Andonara aside and said, "I'd better forget it."
Ashrosfen also looked at Andonara, and then shook her head helplessly: "You love beauty more than country."
Then Ashrosfen took a few steps forward and shouted: "Okay, I've eaten and drank enough, it's time to set off."
A group of players jumped up after clearing the ground, immediately packed up their belongings, and led the carriages to the side of the road.
Ashrosfen also stood on the side of the road and shouted to Roland: "The Cornucopia Guild will always welcome you, Uncle Roland."
Then he waved to Roland with a smile and left with the caravan.
The wheels of the caravan's carriage made a "lululu" sound and gradually faded away.
Andonara came over, held Roland's hand and asked, "You guys had a harmonious atmosphere before, but then why did you suddenly become a little stiff?"
"They said the king was dying." Roland carefully observed the changes in Andonara's expression.
Andonara stayed for a while before she understood what Roland meant.
She was a little surprised, but she didn't feel sad or sad at all.
She was even a little confused: "Well, why is he dying so soon? Then won't my status as queen be gone soon?"
Roland asked casually: "Do you care about the queen's identity?"
"Of course." Andonara put her face against Roland's arm and said matter-of-factly: "You will find it exciting when I have the status of queen. Otherwise, what is the difference between me and ordinary women?"
Hmm... Roland couldn't understand Andonara's brain circuit.
Then Andonara suddenly laughed charmingly, her eyes moving, and she gently rubbed Roland's arm with her thick front armor: "While my identity as queen has not expired, why don't you try it? A queen doing this and that is obviously very exciting, otherwise after a while, I will no longer have the status of a queen, and the excitement will be greatly reduced!"
Seeing Andonara's mature style, Roland suddenly felt a surge of blood in his body.
But in less than two seconds, he used his strong mental power to calm down the heat: "We will talk about this later."
Andonara smiled and rolled her eyes at him, as if to say that he was boring, even though she was already tempted, but she was still holding back.
Roland coughed and changed the subject: "Just now Ashrosfen told me that Bianca is the fiefdom of the eldest prince, and he seems to have some evil intentions towards you."
"It's normal." Andonara said unsurprisingly: "Not to mention the eldest prince, almost all the princes who knew about it had privately invited me to visit their fiefdoms or manors, and the words were quite explicit. I couldn't be bothered to care. It’s just them.”
The royal family is such a mess.
Roland sighed, and then said: "Bianca is the fiefdom of the eldest prince. We originally planned to stay there, but now it seems that we can only go around outside the city."
"Well, I also think it's better to go around." Andonara nodded: "Although the eldest prince is very weak, Vivian's strength is still relatively dangerous against a large number of elite soldiers."
Roland looked back at the direction where the caravan left, and could vaguely see slowly moving black spots in the distance.
He has a feeling that with the development of the game world now, wars between players seem to be starting to break out on a large scale.
People will pursue interests, and the same goes for players.
But the players are immortal. Once they cause trouble, who knows what kind of damage it will cause to the world.
