Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 757 Storm Kingdom

The paranoia of the Storm Kingdom has reached a critical level, but it is not incomprehensible.

Suppose one day, humans walk out of the earth and the solar system, and suddenly find that the universe is actually very lively, with large and small starships flying everywhere, and humans themselves, compared with them, are like country boys who have just left the village and entered the big city.

I am afraid that at that time, humans will also have a very strong sense of crisis, always thinking that there will be aliens who will come to pit us.

The Storm Kingdom has the same mentality. From their king to the citizens, they all have very serious paranoia.

But on the good side, this sense of crisis has greatly stimulated the enterprising spirit of the Storm Kingdom. Their technical level has developed by leaps and bounds since entering the interstellar era. At present, they are one of the very few forces that can build giants like starships.

Of course, because of this sense of crisis, the management of outsiders is very strict. When everyone got on the rail tram, there were already special people who conducted a detailed inspection of the Manta Ray to see if there were any contraband or the like.

You can't be as ostentatious in this place as you are in Kexing City. In Kexing City, no one cares about murder and arson, but here, even if you tap the shoulders of locals to ask for directions, you may be arrested by the police for assault.

Alyssa specifically told everyone not to run around, and they must move within their own field of vision. We will leave after we finish our business and will never stay here for long.

It sounds like a den of dragons and tigers, but in fact the locals are quite friendly. As long as you don't do anything to arouse suspicion, there will be no misunderstandings.

After sitting on the tram for nearly an hour, everyone rubbed their almost flattened buttocks and left the station.

There is no need to take a car here. Alyssa remembers the environment nearby and is not far from the destination.

They walked around the street for a while, walked into a residential area, and stopped in front of a two-story villa.

Alyssa pressed the doorbell, but no one responded for a long time.

"Maybe no one is home?"

"I hope he's just out of town temporarily. If he's moved, it'll be hard to find him."

It's been several years since the last time I came here. Alyssa is not sure.

Thinking of this, she suddenly feels anxious.

"Who are you looking for?"

Maybe Alyssa and her friends stayed at the door for too long, and the old lady next door quietly poked her head out and asked.

"Auntie, we're here to look for Mr. Wright. Do you know where his family is?"

"Alas... you came at an unlucky time. Mr. Wright just passed away last month."

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. It's bad. This trip is in vain.

Mr. Wright and Alyssa's grandfather are close friends regardless of age, but he is really old and may die at any time.

Just when I was worrying about what to do, the old lady next door wiped her glasses and suddenly said:

"You are... Alyssa?"

"Do you know me?"

"How can I not know you? When you were a child and came to see Mr. Wright with your grandfather, I held you in my arms, but you didn't give me any face and peed on my hand."

"..."

I don't know how the old lady recognized Alyssa, but she casually told me a dark history.

However, since she was someone she knew, the old lady provided new information:

"Mr. Wright's grave is behind the house, next to the church of the Lady of the Grave. Verania should be there at this time. You can go find her."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Sophia whispered:

"Who is Verania?"

"Mr. Wright's granddaughter, I met her a few years ago."

It is not 100% certain to get a ship through Mr. Wright's connections, let alone his granddaughter.

But since I'm here, I can't come here in vain, I have to try.

So everyone turned to walk behind the house, and soon they saw a small church in the residential area.

In the Celestial Empire, living next to a cemetery is unlucky, but not here. Living next to a cemetery means being blessed by the ancestors, and this is a very popular piece of land.

So you can see that there is a cemetery in the residential area.

In front of the church, several Farazma priests wearing black robes and white masks are presiding over the funeral. They should be one of the priests least affected by the fall of the gods.

The main job of the priests of the god of death is to take care of the dead, and they do not provide treatment services like other priests (although they can). In any case, people will always die, and the dead will need a funeral.

Alyssa and the others did not disturb the funeral site, but entered from the side door next to the cemetery, walking along the gravel road while looking.

When they climbed over a small hill, they saw a little girl standing in front of a relatively new tombstone not far away, wiping tears.

It was estimated that she was less than one meter tall, about six or seven years old, and crying very sadly.

Fang Lanyin had sharp eyes and saw at a glance the words "Mr. Wright Hunter rests here" engraved on the tombstone. It seemed that she had found the right person.

There was no adult around, only a little child standing in front of the tombstone wiping tears, which instantly touched the soft spot in everyone's heart. It looked so pitiful.

However, the next moment, the child turned around and took out a pipe and put it in his mouth.

"Put away your sympathy. I'm 27 years old this year. What? Haven't you seen a halfling?"

"..."

Indeed, a halfling is literally half a person, and it looks like a child.

She lit her pipe with a long match, looked at the speechless crowd, and said uncertainly:

"You are... Alyssa?"

"It's me. Long time no see, Verania."

"Not long, but you suddenly shaved your hair and put an implant on your head. I almost didn't recognize you."

The last time I saw Verania was four or five years ago, but the lifespan of halflings is longer than that of humans. Four or five years for Verania is like one or two years for humans. It is indeed not long.

"You are here to find your grandfather. Unfortunately, he is in there."

As she said this, Verania was also a little puzzled:

"Mr. James didn't come with you?"

"It's also unfortunate. My grandfather passed away two years ago."

"We are all old men. We may fall into the arms of the lady of the grave at any time. Don't be sad."

She said not to be sad, but she cried so miserably just now.

Verania is such a person. She looks strong on the surface, but is actually very fragile and soft in her heart.

At least the Verania that Alyssa knows is like this.

"Let's go, come to my house. You must not be idle to come here for nothing. If you have something to say, come to my house. Let the old man stay here by himself."

After saying that, Vilania led the way back, and Fang Lanyin was very impressed:

"What a cool person."

"But she is not as easy to talk to as her grandfather Mr. Wright. Vilania adheres to the principle of giving something in return. It may not be easy to ask her for a boat."

That being said, we still have to give it a try. We can't come here in vain.
