Black Knight From Blue Star

More and more players have realized that the upcoming new version may be very wrong.

Some people are more keen in predicting the situation, while others are slower.

But no matter what, the flow of information between players is actually very fast.

In less than ten days, almost all players have understood that the 'new version' may be a big battlefield, so they have begun to hoard resources.

Food, dry food, daily necessities, etc., all the materials that humans need, players began to purchase.

All of a sudden, prices across the world were raised.

After all, it has been three years since the game started, and the vast majority of players have made a lot of money in the game.

Of course...such a worldwide price surge will have little impact on Hadi's territory.

Because Tiana had already prepared for this and carried out strict market control.

France was not greatly affected. Hardy passed his judgment to the surrounding lords with good relations a few days ago.

As for the French royal family, with Nicai and Alice beside Queen Sissi, the dissemination of information will naturally be faster and more convenient.

So Francie doesn't have much of a problem.

Other countries are in trouble. After players purchase a large amount of resources, the first thing they do is put them in the system backpack, and then find a hidden place to store them.

It’s almost impossible to ‘get’ it back.

As for the use of force, it is even more impossible.

Due to system restrictions, players cannot take the initiative to attack NPCs, otherwise they will be 'red'.

But if an NPC attacks the player for no reason, then they will be very happy.

Because this means that you can release your shackles and do something big.

As other countries were in a state of panic, Hardy welcomed an unexpected guest.

Queen Yejieka.

Hardy originally didn't want to see this woman, but he really didn't have much to do recently. He was just waiting for the two worlds to 'collide'. He was a little bored, so he let her in.

He wanted to see what this queen who stabbed him in the back had to say!

A woman wearing a gray hooded robe walked in. As the door closed behind her, she lifted the fabric above her head, revealing her true appearance.

Still a gorgeous face, even younger than before.

Because she had also eaten the petals given by the World Tree, her age was that of a young woman.

But as this year passed, her temperament became more and more delicate.

"Long time no see, Mr. Hardy, I didn't expect that you still look the same as before, without any change."

Hardy is now a legendary professional. His life span has reached more than 200 years, and his adolescence will be very long.

It is estimated that his appearance will not change much in another twenty years.

After Hardy made a gesture to please sit down, he said: "Her Majesty the Queen is still shining brightly. I wonder if I can ask for your advice this time?"

Yejieka sat on the chair opposite Hadi, and the two looked at each other across the long dining table.

She thought for a while, then pursed her lips and said, "I'm here in person this time to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Hardy looked at the other party.

"You send me a batch of food, and we form an alliance. My army can become your mercenaries and fight for you." Hearing this, Hardy smiled.

It turned out that Ye Jieka was already at the end of her rope.

This woman is very proud. To her, men are just embellishments to show off her status and strength.

Moreover, her strong self-esteem does not allow herself to be stepped on by men.

So now that she appears in front of Hadi and is willing to turn the army into mercenaries, it shows that she is really almost at the end of her rope.

It seems that her brother, Prince Vasily, put a lot of pressure on her.

It is estimated that the players' sudden purchases and stockpiling have also caused great damage to her territory's economy.

Seeing Hadi's smile, Yejieka was very angry inside, but she didn't show it.

Hardy only laughed for two seconds, then stopped and said, "Sorry, I can't promise you this."

"Why, this is a win-win deal." Yejieka looked at Hadi and raised her eyebrows: "You get the army, and I can relieve some pressure."

Hardy shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am not that stupid. I don't want to support your army. You should understand what I mean."

"Sir Hardy, you should think about it again." Yejieka stood up and put on her hood again: "I will stay here for two days, hoping to hear good news from you."

After that, she left.

Walking very cleanly.

When the door closed again, Sophie stepped out from the shadow next to her.

She said angrily: "She is almost out of ammunition and food, but she is still so...arrogant. Is there something wrong with her brain?"

"This is what happens to people who are used to being strong." Hardy looked at Sophie: "You should be responsible for the information about Yejieka. How is her condition now?"

Because Yejieka has been competing for territory with her younger brother Vasily, the internal friction between the two will cause both parties to become weaker and weaker.

This matter was secretly facilitated by Louisian County Hardy. Hardy did not want to see a bellicose and crazy force growing bigger and bigger next to his territory.

"Now there are only three cities left in her territory, and there is no strategic depth." Sophie laughed: "In comparison, Prince Vasily's strength has increased a lot, and he can already beat his own sister Wang. ”

"In other words, Yejieka actually came to give in to us!" Hadi nodded: "With her intelligence, she should have guessed that we were secretly helping Prince Vasily, but this person clearly came to give in. Yes, but why do I feel that she is even more arrogant than me? Her personality is really indescribable. "

Sophie also laughed: "Then will you see her again?"

"No, if she comes to see me in the future, she will just say she doesn't have time."

"Then how about..." Sophie made a gesture of cutting her throat.

Hardy shook his head: "That's not necessary. It took a lot of effort to establish my integrity. If you do this, my two or three years of hard work will be in vain. Ye Jieka obviously doesn't want to deal with me, but she still dares to come and talk to me in person. I negotiate simply because I believe in my credibility, which is a rare political asset that cannot be lost easily.”

Sophie thought for a while and said: "It makes sense, then just ignore her."

In the next two days, Yejieka was very angry because she did not wait for Hadi's summons.

But thinking of the outrageous prices in her territory and the nearly empty granary, she could only swallow her anger and wanted to interview Hadi again and again.

But all were rejected.

After staying for nearly seven days, she finally couldn't wait any longer and rode back on her horse with two of her confidants.

As he rode, he cursed Hardy.

But she didn't expect that she had been targeted by a team of five players. (End of chapter)
