Chapter 187: Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea
"As agreed, I'm here."
When Qingyi saw the wise Gareth again, the other party was still the same as last time, with a blue scalp on the left side, wearing a rough shortshirt and shorts, and sandals. This stocky man with a pockmarked face never seemed to like etiquette and decency, and only liked to live his own way. Despite everything Gareth said, Qingyi still felt that the title of "Gareth of Wisdom" was weird.
Gareth pointed to another bench and motioned for Qingyi to sit down, "You're coming sooner than I thought." ”
"Losers have nothing to hesitate about." Qingyi sat peacefully on the throne of shadows, not at all like what he said, he was a "loser", but like he ran over to show off his might.
"Necromantic creatures are admirable for that, and they never care about face. Here is the government infrastructure project plan that I have put together, you can take a look. ”
System prompt: Have you accepted the quest "Seruvega Infrastructure 1"?
A scroll of pamphlet, which was no different from papyrus, flew through the air and landed accurately in Qingyi's hand. The content is "the strengthening of the road facilities of Seru Vega", to put it bluntly, it is to invite someone to repair the road (the road of Seru Vega is notoriously dilapidated, and Qingyi has already been taught), not to mention the hardship and tiredness, the salary is still very low, and even the most unpicky werewolf will not look at this job! To put it in layman's terms, if a professional gamer strikes gold at this rate, he won't be able to earn a meal back for three days in a row.
Why are wages so low? Because Seruviga doesn't have any money, or rather, I don't want to give more money.
Why do you dare to show me so low wages? Because I clearly want to squeeze you, you have no other way to save money slowly than to do this job.
Qingyi's thoughts were spinning a thousand times, and it was only a few seconds before he could answer himself perfectly, so he just sighed lightly and didn't ask any stupid questions. He knew that at the same time, Schroeder Bray was dealing with red-eyed businessmen and speculators in Syracuse, while Clavisol was aggrieved dealing with second-rate men she looked down upon. In this case, he is not the one who bothers the most, and there is really nothing to complain about.
He thought about it and said, "If only I had a negotiator." ”
"I understand that doing everything by yourself is not the way a leader should be managed." Gareth nodded.
The conversation between the two is over.
Qingyi put away the paperwork and said, "I will arrange for people as soon as possible." By the way, there is a question that I have always wondered about, how did you get your wisdom in such a country? ”
Gareth the Wise was stunned for a moment and smiled, "I haven't thought about this problem either. ”
Qingyi thought that the other party was unhappy, and waved his hand and said: "I don't mean to offend, I'm just curious, why in a country where the culture is extremely barren and everyone is ignorant, there is a person like you with the title of 'wise'." ”
"Because I'm weak."
"Oh, I see." Qingyi nodded, and then reacted: "What? Is wisdom born of weakness? ”
"I don't know what your definition of wisdom is, and I don't think I think I'm smart. In the past 50 years of my life, I have been working hard to survive, but I am much weaker than others, so I need to be smarter. If you are less courageous than others, you will learn how to use weapons; is shorter than others, so he has figured out a fighting posture to maintain his center of gravity; The arms are shorter than others, so they make a fuss about the distance of the weapon's attack; If your strength is smaller than others, you will study more effective unloading techniques......" Immersed in his own memories, Gareth looked at his calloused and ugly hands, as if looking at an old friend who had been separated for a long time, and there was a faint gentleness on his face: "A person's strength is always limited, so he finds like-minded companions, and he is more courageous on the road; If the place where you live is too chaotic and insecure, you will put order in order; When confronted with all kinds of problems that cannot be solved by force, or when you run into walls everywhere, you have to find other ways......"
Listening and listening, Qingyi actually felt a sense of vicissitudes that only appeared in Mrs. Green and Robert, not the vicissitudes of the twilight of the hero, but the vicissitudes of an ordinary person's possession like a yellowed old photo.
"Before I knew it, I had gone from 'Gareth the Slug' to 'Gareth the Wise', and to put it bluntly, it was only because I was too weak and had to work harder to get what others already had. Perhaps, wisdom equals hard work. It has nothing to do with knowledge, I have read no more than three books in my life, and I haven't finished reading the book "Enlightenment of the Continental Lingua Franca", if I am all wise, then everyone on the continent is extremely smart. Well? ”
Gareth looked up, and Qingyi had left the palace.
"It's funny that it's a necromantic creature, but it's reluctant to waste time. No, maybe it's because you died once that you know how to cherish time. ”
Qingyi returned to the carriage, and when he reached the safe zone, he went offline, quit the game, and casually looked at the forum. He's going to get a very important restaurant tomorrow, so he's going to have to rest early and recharge his batteries. Although the boss is a partner of Sicilian Express, there seems to be a conflict between the two sides recently, giving Little Bee Express a chance.
Most of today's forum news is about competitive competitions. The auditions for the competitive tournaments on each server are in full swing, and all the combat professional gods have signed up to participate. Although the competitive competition is a festival for combat professionals, it also highlights the importance of life professionals, and the value of the "Huaxia" and "Auxiliary Dynasty" life professions has soared again, and the recent income of the treasure bag is also considerable. Some people have estimated that the top lifestyle professional players can earn more than $1.5 million this month, the more proficient players can earn 500,000, and the average player can earn 100,000 or 20,000.
There is also a small piece of news: the NPCs of the mermaid city-state (aka the Reef Islands) suddenly become hostile to humans, and frequently attack passing ships, forcing Bigbowor to suspend all flights, so the business of the merchant houses is greatly hindered, and the price of goods rises sharply. This made Qingyi a little uneasy, because the ghost fleet had an agreement with Bigbower to ensure normal shipping, and in this case, it must have a "theory" with the mermaid. If the bald eagle starts a war at this time, the ghost fleet will probably not be able to take care of Qingyi's side.
Qingyi couldn't help but have a headache, because this time he had to face a strange bald eagle, this bald eagle would appear strongly with new troops and new tactics, and he could not be careless.

Seru Vega, a long road with a bumpy road.
The talks with Gareth were over, and the Dusk Empire convoy stayed for only one day before returning home. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are secretly staring at this train formation, waiting for the next move of the June sun.
"It's boring! I'm so bored that my eggs hurt. In the carriage, Qingyi pillowed his hands and sighed on his back.
The corners of Chief Joent's mouth, who was sitting across from him, twitched, and he said, "Lord Underworld, please pay attention to the image, because Your Majesty never speaks foul language. ”
"Oh my God, sir, let me go out for a ride, where is there a knight who travels in a carriage?!" If the eggs can't reach the saddle, they will really hurt themselves! ”
This howling turned out not to be Qingyi, but the underworld with a cool face. The real Qingyi has arrived alone at the Seruvega border, ready to enter Bigbowo. This is the classic golden cicada shelling technique, which is old-fashioned but practical.
Before coming, his subordinates quarreled over it.
……………………………………………
"No, I can't delay any longer, I have to rush to Qinli Villa now." After considering the current situation, Qingyi has a view on the main pipeline.
Chief Jont leaned over: "In that case, please take a ride on the ghost fleet to ensure your safety." ”
"But the boat ride takes too long, and I don't know what will happen in the process." Qingyi frowned.
"Use the teleportation array to shorten the time." Brian on the side suggested. "Teleport to Saramonro on the border of the Dusk Empire, and then teleport from Saramonro to Bigbowo, connect with the Blood Elves, and take a boat to Grime Hills. This is the scenario that takes the least amount of time. ”
"No! Then Your Majesty will be in danger! Chief Jont snapped, "Everyone knows, but Your Majesty doesn't."
Brian didn't give an inch: "No, I think the most dangerous way is the safest way!" It was precisely under such a critical situation that it was impossible for others to predict that His Majesty would go deep into the human kingdom alone. Even if the other party is wary, I am sure that His Majesty will not be discovered. ”
Although his words were amazing, Qingyi thought about it carefully, and quite agreed with his opinion, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, I'll sit in the teleportation array!" ”

Bigbowo, capital, royal palace.
The king took the bell and shook it. Moments later, his head of intelligence pushed the door open and entered, as light as a thief.
"June Sunshine has ended its official visit to Seru Vega?"
"Yes."
"All the necromantic creatures have gone to Cornhill Villa, but the June sun is not yet there. He's definitely going. He may take advantage of this visit to sneak across my country, so he will send people to guard the waypoints and the main transportation routes. The king smiled confidently, "I almost took him lightly, but considering that he was an adventurer, I couldn't help but make more preparations." If you find him, you will be killed. By the way, let 'Slebing' preside over this, because they are the ones who are most familiar with the June sun. ”
"Yes." The Minister of Intelligence replied briefly, and quickly left the study.
The king read the papers for a while, and then got up. He pushed open the window, and the cold but slightly damp wind blew in, making his face feel cold. He could have gone and fetched the coat hanging from the back of the chair, but he didn't. He enjoyed the chill just like a warrior enjoyed pain.
It's not obvious yet, but it's time for a vibrant spring.
