Paradise: Ready Player One

He agreed to vent his anger on his own knights, but he failed to take advantage of Chen Ming's hands throughout the whole process.

Even the final success is like charity.

Anastasia experienced a long-lost sense of frustration.

After politely expressing her gratitude, Anastasia left the restaurant with Mimi and the mercenaries hiding around.

The information about the crusade against the white whale is very valuable.

And judging from the information she already had, the information was almost certainly true.

As a big businessman, Anastasia knows better than anyone else that sometimes the most expensive things are free.

What exactly does Chen Ming want from himself?

Just after solving the problem about Crusch's abnormal movement, a more difficult problem popped up.

"Forget it, I'll think about this matter later, and solve the Beluga issue first. Right now is an excellent opportunity. If there is no threat from the Beluga, the development of the Chamber of Commerce will definitely improve to a big level."

Anastasia made a quick decision.

In any case, the absence of the white whale was the most important thing to her and all the merchants.

As for other things, you can put it aside for a while.

This white whale that swims in the sky has been threatening the merchants and nearby small villages near the capital since its birth. It is currently the biggest obstacle to the expansion of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce.

Anastasia was willing to help even if she couldn't share in the feat of beheading the white whale.

It is precisely because of knowing this that Chen Ming disclosed the information to the other party so easily, and I believe that Crusch will not refuse this power.

There is no way, the strength of the chamber of commerce is indispensable to accurately and quickly determine the area where the beluga is haunted.

In terms of obtaining information, Anastasia has advantages that other candidates do not have, and the mercenary group under her command is equally strong.

Who made Chen Ming neither have the ability of "return by death" nor the "witch's fragrance" on his body, so he could only use the most primitive human means to confirm the location of the white whale.

Emilia listened to the conversation between Chen Ming and Anastasia from the sidelines. It was only then that she realized that the election of the king had just begun, and several other candidates had already taken actions one after another.

Just myself, as if I still have nothing to do.

To be honest, kind of blown away.

Emilia is a little inferior and sensitive in her heart.

"Important things like hunting down the white whale...does it really matter if you let me know?"

Emilia couldn't help asking.

"What does it matter, will you tell others?"

"will not!"

"It's okay"

Chen Ming's trust moved Emilia very much.

"Is there anything I can do to help you, and I also want to contribute to the crusade against the white whale"

When Emilia said this, she just wanted to do her part for the kingdom.

"Although saying this may hurt Emilia, you'd better solve your own troubles first, and then consider helping others."

Chen Ming decided to mention something about Emilia.

"I have received definite news. During this time, the Witch Cult has become active again. Emilia, as a half-elf and a candidate, you may be their primary target."

Hearing these three words taught by the witch, Emilia couldn't help but change her face, and she became a little more afraid.

Few people are not afraid of neurosis.

Not to mention a group of psychopaths with extraordinary power.

If there is any logic in the behavior of the Witch Cult, it is probably the constant search for containers for resurrecting witches.

It is both unfortunate and fateful.

All aspects of Emilia are in line with the Witch Cult's definition of a container for resurrecting a jealous witch.

Originally, she was huddled in Roswaal's mansion, and few people knew the identity of Emilia's silver-haired half-elf, but now when she announced her participation in the king's election.

Then the whole kingdom knew that a silver-haired half-elf had become a candidate for king.

It is difficult for the Witch Cult not to know.

Did Emilia know that her exposure would attract Witch Cult?

She must have known it well.

However, even in the face of the threat of the Witch Cult, Emilia still has to announce her participation in the king's election, putting her own life and death aside in order to realize her ideal.

From this point of view, she still has the power to be a king.

Emilia fell silent.

To put it bluntly, she can't protect herself now, so she is not qualified to help others.

"But don't worry too much. Don't forget that you still have my ally. If you are really in danger, you can ask for my help. Say something in a low voice, the earl who supports you does not seem to be a reliable guy”

Chen Ming reached out and pressed Emilia's head twice.

"I see, thank you"

Emilia was a little moved, but soon realized the restless hand above her head, pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, and muttered,

"Don't treat me like a child, in terms of age, I'm older than Ming"

"Then should I call you sister?"

Chen Ming said with a teasing smile.

"Damn, ignore you"

Emilia ran out of the restaurant in shame.

When Chen Ming was about to follow, he was stopped by the restaurant waiter.

"Well, Lord Knight, you haven't paid yet."

"..."Z.br>

Chen Ming realized that he had overestimated Anastasia.

Even if this guy is the chairman of the chamber of commerce and a candidate for the king of a country, he is also a girl, so he definitely didn't have such a big heart when he should be young.

I agreed to invite myself to dinner, but I didn't pay for the meal, so I left directly.

I made a note of this account!

In fact, Anastasia really didn't do it on purpose, she just forgot accidentally, and the crusade against the white whale took all her attention away.

Chen Ming took out a few gold coins from his pocket and put them on the table before he was let go.

Emilia didn't go far, she just waited not far away, and when she saw Chen Ming looking at her, she shook her head, indicating that her anger had not completely dissipated.

She didn't seem to realize that she was becoming more and more like an ordinary girl in front of Chen Ming.

The episode brought by Anastasia did not affect the two people's interest in shopping.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Emilia didn't even notice that it was time to say goodbye.

Until the afterglow that fell into her eyes.

"It's getting late, let's stop here today"

Chen Ming stopped, turned around and said to Emilia.

"Um……"

Emilia's emotions were written all over her face.

I wanted to say something, but it was all stuck in my throat. After brewing for a while, I finally just turned it into two words.

"Goodbye"

"See you"

Chapter 416 Fishing First Step

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Ming bid farewell to Emilia.

Then at the gate of the city, he ran into Felix who came to look for him.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Her Highness Emilia. If Her Highness Priscilla knows meow, I'm afraid she will be jealous meow"

"You don't care what you do, as long as your Duke Crusch doesn't get jealous, that's fine."

Chen Ming replied.

Felix tilted his head, and the cat ears flicked from side to side.

"It makes sense meow!"

"If you have anything to ask me, please tell me quickly."

Chen Ming took one last look at the Dilong chariot that had gone away, turned around and asked.

"I almost forgot about the business meow, Mr. Crusch is looking for you, I have something to discuss meow"

"It's over if we don't say it"

Chen Ming got on the dragon car accompanied by Felix.

Hunting the white whale is a big event, not only the life of Crusch alone is at stake, but also the lives of those who follow and trust her.

More than ten years ago, the kingdom also organized a crusade.

In the end, it failed, not only did it sacrifice a large number of elite soldiers, but even the sword masters of the previous generation died.

Reinhardt needs to carry half of this pot.

Because there can only be one holder of "Guardian's Protection".

When the previous generation of Juggernauts fought fiercely with the white whale, the "Guardian's Protection" was transferred and fell on Reinhardt, which made the previous generation of Juggernauts unable to pull out the dragon sword.
