Paradise: Ready Player One

Wang Xuan officially started this matter, and informed the residents of Wangcheng in the early morning of the second day in the form of public notice.

The personal information about the five candidates is indicated on the bulletin board, but it is not exhaustive.

It was only today that the residents of Wangcheng learned that there was actually a half-elf among the candidates.

The fear and resistance to the witch was immediately transferred to Emilia.

Walking on the street casually, you can hear disgusting remarks about Emilia's half-elf status.

To put it bluntly, because of the presence of Emilia, the residents of Wangcheng's tolerance and acceptance of the other four candidates have suddenly increased a lot.

Priscilla, who has the worst reputation, has benefited a lot from this.

Although this had already been expected, when Emilia appeared on the street wearing a cloak that could hide her face and heard the voices of the crowd.

Still unable to control his emotions, he huddled in a corner by himself, shutting himself up silently.

"Isn't this His Royal Highness Emilia, why is she hiding here alone, she looks a little depressed?"

The familiar voice pulled Emilia out of her lost mood, and when she looked up, Chen Ming had already stood in front of her, holding a bag of apples in her arms.

"Ming, why are you here..."

Emilia stood up in a panic and asked.

Subconsciously, he didn't want his allies to see his weak appearance.

"Buy apples, it's not obvious"

Chen Ming lifted the bag in his arms helplessly.

Because he rejected Priscilla's service request last night, he suffered revenge today.

The majestic number one knight was actually ordered to do such a trivial matter as buying apples.

If it wasn't for the sake of being able to get the faction's contribution, Chen Ming would not be spoiled by Priscilla.

"Try it, although the uncle at the fruit stand doesn't look like a good person, he still has a good eye for buying."

Chen Ming picked an apple and simply wiped it on his knight uniform, then threw it over.

Pure natural pesticide-free apples, no need to wash.

"You bastard, when you speak ill of others, can you stay away!"

An angry voice came from behind him.

"If I stay far away, you won't be able to hear me?"

Chen Ming turned his head and glanced at the fruit seller provocatively, his face was swollen from anger, but there was nothing he could do about Chen Ming.

The last time we met, Chen Ming was still a wandering knight. In the blink of an eye, he became a knight of the Knights of the Guards. How could he be provoked by a plain-headed commoner.

I endured it.

"Wearing the uniform of the Guards Knight, bullying people is powerful"

Chen Ming showed an arrogant expression that is standard for a villain, but not only did not scare Emilia, but also made her laugh.

"Thank you Ming, I feel much better"

Emilia smiled.

Pure and beautiful, very contagious.

"Tell me, what is the reason for staying here alone, with a look of depression on your face?"

Chen Ming could guess why the other party was like this, but letting her say it in person would undoubtedly bring the distance between the two closer.

"... Ming, you should have heard everyone's evaluation of my half-elf"

"Well, it's not very objectively correct, but it represents most of the thoughts"

"To be honest, I don't really know what to do to change their opinion of me"

Emilia said distressed and powerless.

The prejudice against half-elves in this continent has lasted for hundreds of years, and it has already been deeply rooted.

It is not easy to reverse all this.

"That's right, why don't you give up?"

"No, absolutely not"

"Then you don't just sit around like this. What's the use of just talking about it, take some action, and start where you can do it. It's not just half-elves who are discriminated against, the same is true for demihumans. I remember that Roswaal's territory has many demihumans, let's start with their recognition."

Chen Ming gave his own suggestion, and finally gave a word of encouragement.

"If you can change a person's view of half-elves, then there will be one less person who discriminates against half-elves in this world. When there are more like-minded people, maybe you can shake the prejudice in the hearts of the world."

"I understand, thank you, I will work hard"

Emilia cheered up visibly, and couldn't help giving Chen Ming a hug.

Chapter 410 Undercurrent

After buffing Emilia, Chen Ming took the apple and delivered the task to Priscilla.

Simply harvested hundreds of faction contributions.

If other players find out about this, the psychological designation will be seriously unbalanced.

Especially some players who are trying to catch fleas.

The maid of the mansion washed the apples and brought them to Priscilla, this time they didn't peel them on purpose.

"My concubine found out that apples taste better if they are not peeled"

After Priscilla finished nibbling half an apple gracefully, she said this inexplicably.

Chen Ming didn't care. Anyway, his princess was not so out of tune on the first day. He originally planned to go back to accompany his lovely maids after delivering the task.

As soon as he turned around, he was called.

Said that there were still tasks to be arranged for him, and then Chen Ming watched the other party gnawing apples.

"That guy, Crusch, doesn't know what he's planning to do. He sent all his retainers out, and he's planning to buy a large amount of weapons from the Royal Capital Chamber of Commerce."

Priscilla finally got down to business.

"Do you want me to check it out?"

"Don't be so troublesome, I have already guessed it. Recently, a "white mist" appeared near the royal city, engulfing many people."

In the middle of speaking, Priscilla narrowed her eyes slightly. When she was not thinking about Chen Ming kneeling and licking herself, she still had the demeanor and bearing that a candidate should have.

"It is the white whale that produces the white mist"

Chen Ming naturally knew that the white mist that his princess spoke of was different from the white mist understood by normal people.

That is a hazard that can be called a natural disaster.

The full name is the Fog of Annihilation.

It can make the things it touches disappear from the world, and erase the memory of the objects in others.

"That's right, it's one of the three monsters, and it's also the chief culprit who killed the former sword master. You probably don't know why Wilhelm, who is known as the sword ghost, succumbed to Crusch's command."

Priscilla changed her sitting position so that she could lean on the sofa better. Wearing only a light gauze, she unreservedly showed her perfect figure in front of Chen Ming.

This is not the first time that Priscilla has been so blatantly tempted.

"No, I know"

Chen Ming said without cooperating at all.

Priscilla closed the fan in dissatisfaction, and gave her knight a fierce look.

"Now that I know, I won't say much about myself. Crusch's plan is already very clear. If he wants to hunt down the white whale to gain fame, it's fine if he fails, but if he succeeds..."

"I understand. Her Royal Highness means to let me find an opportunity to disrupt Crusch's actions. It is best to let her die with the white whale, so that we can lose one of our biggest competitors."

Chen Ming's face was gloomy, and his tone was even more evil. Looking at this behavior, he looked more like a villain than a villain.

"Ahem, what are you talking about? What kind of person do you think of me as a concubine? This kingdom will definitely belong to me, and then the people in this land will also be my people. Someone is willing to clear the land for me. It's been a long time since the monster, I have no reason to stop it, not only does it not need to be stopped, but I also need to help her."

Priscilla could indeed say such arrogant words.

But to put it bluntly, he just couldn't be cruel and stabbed Crusch in the back, and he couldn't sit back and watch the other party gain his reputation, so he wanted to find a reason to get in the way.

"It's really troublesome, it's better to do what I want"

Chen Ming muttered something in a low voice, which happened to be heard by Priscilla.

"Whether the concubine is your knight or you are the concubine's knight, honestly do what the concubine wants!"

Priscilla was a little out of breath, her chest heaving violently.

This was not because Chen Ming disagreed with her, but because she could tell from the slightly playful eyes of the other party that her true thoughts had been completely seen through.

"Yes, yes, my princess"

Chen Ming quickly retreated before Priscilla completely lost her temper.

"It really pissed me off!!"

Sitting on the sofa, Priscilla couldn't help recalling Chen Ming's suppressed smile when he left, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

In the end, he could only comfort himself that this knight was found by himself after all.

Returns are no longer possible.

According to the time calculation, the main task of the next stage should be related to the "Moby Dick" incident.

At least that's the case for my own camp.

Thinking this way, Chen Ming returned to his mansion.

"My lord, you are back"

Mei Li said hello respectfully, it can be seen that she has fully adapted to the status of a maid.

That is, the mastery of various housekeeping skills is limited, and the only thing that can be done at present is the gatekeeper.

At least this one job, Meili did a good job.
