Paradise: Ready Player One

"Did anything happen while I was away?"

"An old man named Wilhelm came to you and said that he wanted to discuss something, and he is waiting in the living room now."

Mellie replied.

"Oh, I really come to whatever I think, is it because I also received the protection of the sun?"

As the top card in Priscilla's camp, Chen Ming can more or less enjoy positive corrections in the sun, and the closer the distance, the better the effect.

"My lord, did you say anything?"

Meili tilted her head up, and subconsciously tilted it.

In an instant, he hit Chen Ming's cute spot, and couldn't help reaching out and gently pinching the other's collagen-filled face. .

"Merry is so cute, I decided to give you a promotion, from door maid to personal maid"

"Please give up this idea, my lord. I think the job of guarding the door is very suitable for me. I don't have to think about anything, as long as I can bask in the sun here."

Meili said seriously.

It can be seen that she didn't refuse the promotion because she wanted to be close to Chen Ming, but she really liked the fishing job of guarding the door.

For such an unmotivated maid, Chen Ming can only wait until the future to properly train her. He still has work to do now.

It was Rem who was in charge of entertaining Wilhelm. She was better at dealing with others, and she couldn't find any faults in various reception etiquettes.

Those years at the Roswaal Maid Vocational College were not in vain.

As for Elsa, she never showed up.

In front of Sword Demon, her identity as "Intestine Hunter" may not be able to be concealed.

One more thing is worse than one less thing.

Rather than going out and causing unnecessary troubles, it's better to warm the bed in Chen Ming's room in advance so that it's convenient for later use.

As for Betty, these days she is in a different dimension, staying with Hanayusai Glass.

The magic systems of different worlds can always bring new inspiration to my teachers.

Similarly, the magic books accumulated by Chen Ming in the previous world also had a fatal attraction for Betty.

Each has its own things to do, which can facilitate Chen Ming to better manage his time.

Chen Ming pushed open the door of the living room, and saw Wilhelm who was drinking tea.

The tea leaves in his house are all brought from Priscilla, and they are all high-quality goods. Coupled with Rem's exquisite tea art, it can be seen that Wilhelm is satisfied with tea.

"Your Excellency Chen Ming, without the liberty of interrupting, I am here under the orders of Lord Crusch, and I have something important to discuss with you."

Seeing Chen Ming's return, Wilhelm immediately put down his teacup, got up and said solemnly.

"Just sit down and talk, no matter how you say you are considered an elder"

Chen Ming's attitude was polite, and when he spoke, he sat across from the old man.

In front of outsiders, Rem still showed face to her master, filled him with tea docilely, and then stood quietly by her side.

"I believe Your Excellency should already know that the white whale has reappeared after so many years. We all hope to get your help, including Lord Crusch, to hunt down this monster together."

Wilhelm was not the kind of person to beat around the bush, and he directly clarified the purpose of coming this time when he opened his mouth.

"If I remember correctly, even if the two of us are not hostile, we should be regarded as competitors. How did you come to seek my help?"

The expression on Chen Ming's face looked a little surprised.

"That's true, but Crusch has witnessed the battle between you and Knight Julius. He believes that your character is as bright as the swordsmanship you demonstrated, and he respects your strength very much."

Wilhelm paused for a moment, then continued.

"I hope you believe that Master Crusch's crusade against the white whale is not just for the election of the king. She has been preparing for it a long time ago, and this time it just coincides with the occasion."

Even if Chen Ming believed in Crusch's character, it was impossible to directly approve of it.

Hearing this, he nodded lightly, noncommittal.

"Perhaps, but His Royal Highness Crusch chose to hunt down the white whale at this point in time, so her own true thoughts are not important to be honest."

"Your Excellency said so"

Wilhelm understood what Chen Ming meant, and he could only say that the timing of the white whale's appearance was indeed too coincidental.

Now that the king's election has officially started, no matter what Crusch thinks, others will think that her purpose of hunting down the white whale is to obtain the throne.

Once the white whale, which has been raging for hundreds of years, dies at the hands of Crusch, her prestige in the kingdom will rise to an unprecedented level.

Logically speaking, it is too late for other candidates to hold back, so there is no reason to help.

"That's why Master Crusch decided to hunt down the white whale in the name of unity. As long as your Excellency is willing to help, we will share the achievement of hunting down the white whale with His Royal Highness Priscilla."

Wilhelm directly showed his hole card.

"You guys think too much of me, don't you?"

Chen Ming didn't even know where Crusch's confidence in him came from, he was able to do this just by watching a match.

"This is only one aspect. Master Crusch also hopes that Priscilla can believe in her original intention and determination to hunt down the white whale."

Wilhelm vaguely mentioned another reason.

It seems that Priscilla's reputation is indeed not very good in the eyes of other candidates.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this crusade, Crusch didn't mind that he suffered a little loss in this joint battle.

She provided the people and the money. Priscilla only needed to provide Chen Ming's strength to enjoy the feat of crusade against the white whale.

"This is really hard to think of a reason to refuse, so I will agree on behalf of my princess."

Chen Ming stroked his chin. It would be a pity not to find a chance to bully a good person like Crusch.

Wilhelm couldn't see the evil in Chen Ming's heart. Hearing what he said, his serious face was rarely relaxed.

The crusade against the white whale was the revenge he had longed for, and now it was the last possible success. Wilhelm cared more about the success of this joint operation than Crusch.

That's why he took the initiative to invite Ying and personally invited Chen Ming to join.

"Then, I'll take my leave first, I believe Mr. Crusch can't wait to hear this good news."

Wilhelm saluted and said goodbye politely, and Rem was responsible for sending him out.

At the same time, the Hexin Chamber of Commerce is located in the stronghold of the Royal Capital.

Anastasia had long noticed the change in Crusch's camp.

In order to fight against the white whale, a large amount of materials and equipment need to be purchased, which has caused the price of the king's capital to rise, and even the number of ground dragon convoys responsible for transportation is much larger than before.

Anastasia, who was born in the lowest class of Kararagi, was able to build one of the largest chambers of commerce in the kingdom from scratch. One can imagine how sensitive her sense of smell is.

It's just that her background limited Anastasia's ability to obtain information, and she couldn't easily judge Crusch's purpose like Priscilla.

But various signs have shown Anastasia that Crusch will make a big move next.Chinese website

She has a strong desire for the throne, how could she sit idly by.

Early on, people were arranged to monitor every move of Crusch's subordinates.

In this regard, Anastasia, who is in charge of a chamber of commerce, has an advantage.

Any small vendor might be the eyeliner of her chamber of commerce. Even Wilhelm couldn't escape Anastasia's surveillance.

The moment he entered Chen Ming's mansion, Anastasia found out about it.

"I'm really more and more curious. What exactly does that duke want to do? He actually has a private connection with Priscilla's knight?"

Anastasia fell into thinking, and then she didn't know what to think of. There was a hint of cunning in her blue eyes, which made her originally immature face more delicate.

"The most direct way to inquire about information is to obtain it from the person concerned. It just so happens that the account of bullying my knight will also be included this time."

Mimi, a cat-eared Asian girl who heard what her master said, seemed a little distressed, and put forward her own opinion.

"That knight defeated Julius. If something goes wrong with him, Mimi alone may not be able to protect you, miss, or wait until the big guys come back."

"The value of information lies in its timeliness. The sooner the information is obtained, the more precious it will be. It will be too late when they come back, and they are only asking for information. Even if they fail, I believe it is impossible for a majestic knight to treat a weak person like me. what do women do"

Anastasia said confidently.
