Chapter 216 - Survival + Queen, isn’t this full of BUFF stacks?
"You seem a little different from before."

Although they were only separated for a moment, when they saw Bai Ye again, Sothea could keenly notice that Bai Ye seemed completely different from before.

That kind of sword spirit in him
Can't even hide it.

"It's just that the strength has improved a bit."

Bai Ye lowered his head and stroked the Akiba knife, feeling a little sad in his heart.

The knife he had just acquired seemed to be holding him back.

In the training space, even if Byakuya covered Akiba's sword with armament-colored haki, it would break into pieces in the face of Sodros's artifact with just a few swords.

Liang Yue was different. She played with him directly with a branch, but the gap between her swordsmanship and his was really huge.

During this torture, he also mastered the ghost swordsmanship to the extreme, and the swordsmanship of the sword soul was able to break through and awaken.

Similarly, other powers hidden in his ghost hands were also revealed through battles with other people.

Maybe one day, he can possess sword skills, the power of waves, the power of ghosts and gods, the power of blood, and the power of ghosts.

Bai Ye didn't expect too much about the last ghost power. After all, he didn't want to be parasitized by a ghost when he was near death, causing two souls to become one.

"The sword intent in you is even comparable to that of Forrest Gump."

Sothea's Moonlight Tavern is also a place that Forrest Gump likes to come to very much, and of course she knows him too.

How could someone possess such a powerful sword intent overnight?

Is it because he hid his strength before?

"Don't be so nervous. I'm actually just talking. I don't really care about this matter."

Sothea shrugged and did not dwell on this issue.

She felt that Bai Ye was stronger and could actually take better care of Celia.

"Sosia, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"explain."

Sothea nodded and agreed. She had asked Bai Ye to take care of Celia before, so in return, she would obviously have to agree to Bai Ye's request.

Of course, if it goes too far, she won't agree.

"Although I can take care of Celia, I also need to go out occasionally, so I may need your help sometimes."

Bai Ye initially thought that she could take care of Celia.

On the one hand, he is not strong enough, so he must be able to practice during this period.

In addition, if you follow Celia, you will have more opportunities, so instead of putting it on Alvin's defense line, it is better to follow yourself.

But because of his improved strength, Bai Ye will most likely need to leave for a while and then come back to stay for a while.

Celia is not something he can keep with him forever.

"can."

Sothea did not refuse. Bai Ye's strength and identity as an adventurer indicated that he would not stay in one place for too long.

"By the way, Sosia, is it expensive to buy a house here in Hutton Mar?"

Originally, Bai Ye didn't want to buy a house in Hutton Mar.

He has been renting a house here, and the daily money is not enough, but now, he wants to have a place to stay here.

"It's not very expensive. You can get a pretty good one for about 30,000 gold coins."

"I understand."

If it's 30,000, then plus the tasks to be done this time, it can probably be made up.

It seems that the housing prices are not too outrageous.

and many more!

In order to take care of Celia, I bought a house. Where have I seen this plot before?

"Sure enough, the magic of love!"

"Sosia, where does love come from?"

Sothea didn't answer Bai Ye's question, but gave him an expression of understanding. However, Sothea was just saying it.

She also understood that the reason why Bai Ye bought a house was just for Celia. Adventurers didn't need to buy this thing.

"Hmm, who knows where love can be found? Today the tavern's business hours have been extended by an hour. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."

This woman.
Looking at Sosia's back, Bai Ye felt speechless.

"Sir Baiye, can I come in?"

Niu Niu stuck his head out and looked into Bai Ye's room.

The bull head has already come in and is still asking if he can come in.

Those dripping eyes, are you looking for something?

"Niu Niu, do you know that you have to knock before entering?"

"I don't mind it at all, and I'm a cow."

"What did you say?"

Bai Ye clenched his fists and looked at Niu Niu with a smile. He immediately thought of a question and asked curiously: "Niu Niu, do you, the Tauren, distinguish between male and female?"

It should be divided, right?

After all, a cow like Sauta looks like a bull at first sight.

"Sir Baiye, you can't think of such a thing!"

Niu Niu looked at Bai Ye with a horrified expression, obviously frightened by Bai Ye's sudden idea.

Dashachun, what do you want to do? !

"Niuniu, are you a cow?"

Bai Ye glanced at Niuniu with interest. With this frightened look, it must be a cow, right?
"Lord Baiye, you are such a pervert!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in cows!"

Although he was scolded, Bai Ye was in a surprisingly good mood now.

Looking at Niu Niu's deflated look, he wanted to say but couldn't say anything, Niu Niu felt very uncomfortable now.

Just now, he thought Bai Ye was a pervert.

There are actually people who like tauren, but considering how big and strange this world is, maybe Bai Ye is the only pervert in the legend?

"Niu Niu, so what do you want to see me for?"

Bai Ye didn't dwell on this issue all the time. He just made a joke.

If it comes to find you, there must be something going on.

"Sir Baiye, I want to become stronger, so..."

Niu Niu touched the back of his head in embarrassment, hoping that Bai Ye could guide him in his cultivation.

After experiencing the Gran Fire, Niu Niu also realized his shortcomings in strength.

"Become stronger."

Bai Ye actually had an idea to make Niu Niu stronger, but he couldn't implement it for the time being.

Moreover, Niu Niu's talent is actually limited, and Bai Ye doesn't know how to improve Niu Niu.

"Have you ever thought about how you can become stronger?"

Bai Ye didn't answer immediately, but asked Niu Niu if it had thought about how it should go next.

Listening to Bai Ye's question, Niu Niu was silent for a while, then raised his ax and said, "I think I am very talented in using an axe!"

Niu Niu said and waved his big axe.

The ax is the weapon of choice for most tauren in the tauren tribe. In addition to their sharp horns, the brute force goes well with the axe.

"Then have you ever thought about changing the track?"

"For example?"

"How's the cow?"

Letting Niu Niu take the road of recovery and giving him support does not seem to be a good choice.

There is no restriction in this world that animals cannot cultivate this kind of power.

But after hearing what Bai Ye said, Niu Niu's head shook like a rattle, obviously unwilling.

After all, no one would do such a thing!
"Are you really not considering it? Shaman Niu Niu!"

Bai Ye continued to bewitch, he also needed an assistant to add BUFF to himself.

"Sir Baiye, I feel like my ax is pretty good!"

Niu Niu continued to persist, trying to make Bai Ye recognize him.

It absolutely cannot be used as an auxiliary!
How terrible it sounds to say this!
"Okay, you will know my good intentions in the future, so since you are ready to fight, you can swing your ax a hundred thousand times today before coming to me."

Don’t you agree with this too?

Bai Ye was a little surprised in his heart, how obsessed this Niu Niu was with the axe.

It doesn't mean that you can't use an ax after you change your job to an assistant.

Once the cleric's fox head is changed, wouldn't it just be like inserting his breasts into the ground?
"Ok!"

Although Niu Niu always feels that Bai Ye is perfunctory with him, he thinks that if he had to choose one, he would rather swing an ax every day.

After all, how can I have the ability of a priest?
Although he had just come out of the Grand Forest not long ago, Niu Niu had gotten to know the situation outside and what a priest was.

After Niuniu left, Celia stuck out her head and quietly observed Bai Ye. After seeing Bai Ye looking at her, Celia lowered her head in embarrassment and asked, "Sir Bai Ye, I heard that you want to Leaving here?"

She happened to meet Sosia just now, and also learned from Sosia that Bai Ye was planning to leave here.

And when she came here this time, she actually wanted to talk to Bai Ye about something.

"Sir Baiye, you can go on an adventure. During this time, I will stay and work at Sister Sosia's place."

Celia didn't want Bai Ye to think of herself as a burden, and she didn't want to drag Bai Ye down so that he couldn't take risks because of her.

Such a considerate gesture made Bai Ye sigh with emotion. She is indeed his good sister. I will charge another 500 ball coins later.

"Celia, I may go out for a while and then come back. When I come back next time, I will buy a small house. Then you can live there."

Compared to living in a tree hole, living in a house is better, although Celia used to live in a tree hole when she was an elf.

"But this should cost a lot of money, right?"

Celia clenched her hands and looked at Bai Ye with some worry. She didn't want Bai Ye to feel pressure because of herself.

Before he met himself, Bai Ye didn't need to worry about where he lived, so was it because of him?
For a moment, Celia felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart.

"It's not very expensive, right? You should at least have a place to stay, right?"

We are going to the Screaming Cave soon. By then, won’t all the money from the Purple Mist Group be theirs?
What's more, compared to the house, the potions and weapons that need to be purchased later are probably the most expensive places to spend money, right?
"Then what can I do for you, Mr. Baiye?"

Celia looked at Bai Ye seriously. She felt that she couldn't just accept Bai Ye's kindness in vain.

At least I should do something for Bai Ye.

"I haven't thought about it. I'll talk about it later when I think about it."

Bai Ye shook his head, he really didn't think about it.

"Hmm, Lord Baiye, you must tell me when you think about it!" "Okay, Celia, I will hand in the task first."

Because the task of investigating the Grand Forest was not issued by an individual, but by the king of the Belmare Kingdom.

So Bai Ye still needs to go to the palace to report.

After bidding farewell to Celia, Bai Ye embarked on the road to the palace.

"Let me tell you, there is no need for you to be under such great psychological pressure."

Sosia, who had just told Bai Ye that she was going to open a shop, also appeared here at this moment. Looking at Celia's worried look, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

"I just feel a little embarrassed."

Ugh.

I really don’t know what to say.

Sothea could only let Celia calm down.

Speaking of which, is it a good or bad thing to leave Celia to Bai Ye?
royal palace.

Bai Ye was brought to the palace by the guards.

At this moment, Queen Skadi was sitting on the throne looking at Bai Ye, while Bai Ye was also observing the queen in front of her.

Queen Skadi
Originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she became the princess after marrying the crown prince of the Principality of Belmare. The crown prince died not long after the marriage, and she also became the princess of Belmare by virtue of her vigorous and decisive approach and her combination of strength and softness. Queen of the kingdom.

She has only recently stabilized the situation, but there are still many people in the Kingdom of Belmare who are dissatisfied with her.

This identity, widow + queen, is really full of BUFFs.

"So the changes in Grand Forest were caused by the dissipation of the great magic circle, and the elves sacrificed themselves to extinguish the fire?"

Listening to Bai Ye's description of the mission, Queen Skadi leaned on the throne and thought about something.

But the mutation is not just in the location of the big magic circle.

"So these are the arsonists?"

Queen Skadi asked, and there were still some questions that needed to be confirmed with Bai Ye.

"The identity is unclear. The possible reason is that a man in black robes disappeared through the dimensional rift when we just saw him."

Dimensional rift? !
A trace of distress flashed across Queen Skadi's face, she didn't expect that even this thing would appear.

Those who can open dimensional rifts are not simply powerful.

But such a person went to the Grand Forest and committed such a thing.

"So, the big magic circle is not the only cause of the mutation, right?"

Queen Skadi continued to ask.

"Xilok, I heard that an apostle was transferred here, which caused these changes."

Many changes on the continent of Arad are actually related to the transfer of the apostles.

Held is really guilty.

These apostles themselves have strict requirements for the living environment.

It's like throwing Shirok into the Wailing Cave and Antuun into the heaven. Isn't this simply making them enemies of Arad's people.

Both sides are right.

Everyone wants to survive.

"He is actually an apostle, so this is not good news."

The change in Arad actually came from the apostle.

Queen Skadi frowned, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and raised her head to look at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye understood what that meant.

But I am not an adventurer!
Wouldn't you just let yourself go thinking that there would be no benefit at all?
Although Bai Ye is indeed preparing to pass.

Dan Skadi Queen
If you don't benefit from this, you won't get over it.

It can be seen from the game that Queen Skadi is a very sinister woman, or politicians are like this.

"Bai Ye, could you please go investigate?"

really
After a pause, Skadi immediately spoke out his request.

She hoped Bai Ye could help investigate.

"Of course, as long as you give me a generous enough reward, I will go."

"."

what? !

Is it different from what she imagined?

Skadi was stunned for a moment, although she was really thinking that a young man like Bai Ye might be so excited when faced with her request that he would agree directly.

But this calmness made all her plans fail.

"I need a set of armor. My current strength is pretty good, but I lack the means to defend myself."

Bai Ye doesn't want money, he hopes Skadi can give him a set of armor.

After all, he has the means to attack, but not the means to defend. He hopes to get some armor from Skadi.

"The Principality of Belmare is relatively poor now. Don't worry, when the principality improves a little in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

Draw a pie?

Bai Ye was speechless.

As long as the co-author reaches this position, no matter who he is, he will learn how to draw the pie.

indeed
The Principality of Belmare is indeed very poor now.

But what you said, don’t you want to benefit from this and bet on your future?

"Your Majesty the Queen, I actually still need a very good weapon, if..."

"Okay, just a set of armor. I will find you a set of the best armor currently in the principality for you!"

Row!
you are vicious!
A trace of resentment flashed through Queen Skadi's heart. This guy actually didn't even listen to her making a big deal here.

Just one attitude: if you don't see the rabbit, don't let the eagle fly.

Anyway, Skadi has no choice. If he continues like this, I'm afraid Bai Ye will not just ask for a set of armor, he will also ask for the knife.

She was really numb!
It's just that the principality didn't have much force to begin with. When it was founded, it was for peace.

But now, she saw a good idea. When she tried to test the situation, Bai Ye was not afraid. This made Skadi see that Bai Ye seemed to have the strength to solve this matter.

Since this is the case, of course Cady wants to win over Bai Ye.

The current situation of the Principality of Belmare is actually a bit embarrassing.

They are a neutral country and they are also peace-loving, but the empire next to them is getting stronger and stronger, and I heard that there is also a sword master Barn there.

The strength of both sides is getting bigger and bigger, but the empire has not stopped their pace of expansion at all.

This also made Skadi realize that if the Principality of Belmare continued on its previous path, it might one day be annexed by the empire.

So they need to arm themselves.

And this is why she agreed to Bai Ye's request.

She wanted to try Bai Ye's strength, so this could be considered a bet on Bai Ye.

She hopes to see rewards from Bai Ye.

"Thank you very much. I will set off when the armor is ready."

Bai Ye nodded and agreed, it would be good to have armor, but it would be better if he gave himself some potions.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye suddenly looked at Skadi, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. Just when he was about to say something, Skadi raised his hand repeatedly and said, "I have a headache today, so I'm going to rest first."

Hey!
After all, you are also the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and now you have become the queen of the Principality of Belmare. Do you only have this little money?
"Ent, go and find out if there is any suitable armor for him."

Skadi looked at Ent, the leader of the Knights, and asked him to prepare the equipment to be delivered to Bai Ye.

"But... doesn't he want a little too much?"

This is a powerful piece of equipment.

Ent actually wanted to say that none of their knights had been arranged yet.

The Principality of Belmare is composed of knights, coastline corps, mercenary corps, and special elite troops.

The military strength is not particularly strong, but it is enough to protect itself, and Ente can also see that the queen seems to want to win over Bai Ye.

But is it a bit too much to pay so much to win over Bai Ye?

"The Delos Empire has been making moves recently, and now because of the Gran Forest fire, we have been greatly affected. The number of monsters on the road that originally passed there will only increase our burden.

And the existence of Sirocco will intensify all this. We lack strong people who can solve the problem.

If we continue to sit there and wait, I think the Delos Empire will take action. "

Queen Skadi looked into the distance. Now she knew very well that the Delos Empire would take action against them sooner or later.

She wanted to solve the Shilok matter, and at the same time, she wanted to use this matter to see if Bai Ye was worth winning over.

There will definitely be a war with the Delos Empire next.

"That guy Leon Heinrich III is really ambitious!"

Ent really agreed with this, and then nodded and agreed to go find a set of armor for Bai Ye later.

There has always been a set of armor sealed in the treasure house, but no one has used it.

"I hope so. The Principality of Belmare cannot be ruined in my hands."

Queen Skadi sighed in her heart, she did not want the Principality of Belmare to be annexed because of her.

Maybe you need to work hard at this time.

The best armor currently available in the Principality of Belmare was found from the treasure house.

After Queen Skadi came to Bai Ye with it, when she said the name of this set of equipment, a trace of surprise flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.

He actually gave this set to himself? !

Heritage·Holy Goddess of War Titanium Steel Plate Armor Set!
This equipment used to be the dream of many professions in the 1960s version.

"This set of equipment is the best we can provide at present. I hope you won't let it get dusty. We and Norton also bought these potions. I'll leave the matter of Siroc to you!"

The Queen gave Bai Ye enough cards. After handing over these things to Bai Ye, there was a hint of desire in her eyes.

She longed for Bai Ye to come back safely and deal with Shilok.

This means that her bet is correct, and she will have more confidence when dealing with the Delos Empire in the future.

The sinister queen learned to invest and longed for a return. Although it was a bit of a gamble, Skadi could only do this!
"I understand."

After accepting the mission reward, it is natural to do it right.

Picking up this suit and putting it on, Bai Ye felt as if he was blessed by an inexplicable aura.

"Niuniu, you practice at home first, Celia, I'm leaving."

After saying goodbye to Niu Niu and Celia, Byakuya set out on the road to the Wailing Cave.
