Starting From Zero

Chapter 42 Cruel Mission

"Who are you? Why did you attack us?" Now that their leader is under my control, I should take the initiative.

"Stop pretending, you were happy to kill the eldest princess yesterday, weren't you? Let me tell you, we will not give up easily. The fountain of life must belong to us Bayette, and you, Rosita, have no chance of getting involved."

Unexpectedly, I met a representative from one of the countries as soon as I entered. I moved my hand, and the half-moon brush that was pressing on their heads and necks flew back behind me. "Guys, don't get excited. We are not those people from Rosetta. We were just passers-by and happened to pass by here. It was you who made the first move and were forced to fight back."

Wentian also walked out and said, "That's right, I'm just standing there, and you guys rush up and chop me down. We can't just stand and wait to die, right?"

When the other party heard this, he immediately put away his weapon. The leader also said very embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry. We almost never have passers-by here. You are wearing armor and carrying weapons, and you don't have our Bayite badge on you. , so we regarded you as Rosetta people. I’m really sorry, and I apologize for my recklessness.”

Fortunately, these people are relatively reasonable. "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding. By the way, it seems that you have a deep grudge against the people of Rosta Country?"

"This happened hundreds of years ago. Our two countries have always been at odds and have never stopped fighting each other."

"Oh. So that's it." I looked at Wentian.

Wentian immediately guessed what I meant and knew that I wanted to trick these people into understanding the situation here. He took the initiative to ask a question: "Are there many people in Rosta Country? From what you just said, it seems that the city has suffered a loss. Are there any princesses?"

The leader in front looked a little ugly after hearing this, but he didn't look angry but sad. A person from behind answered on his behalf: "The population of Rosita Country is only a few hundred thousand, not much more than us. However, their knight troops are more powerful. Fortunately, our archers are also very powerful, so the strength of both sides is basically the same."

He didn't answer the question about the princess, which was probably not a good thing, and I didn't want to continue asking. "Then why are you fighting? You won't be so bored that you just fight if you don't like it, right?"

"Of course not." This time it was the leader who said, "The grudge between us is about fighting for the fountain of life."

This name sounds very arrogant. Is this spring water very precious? I have a lot of jars and jars with me. If they are very precious, I will put a few jars back. "Is the fountain of life precious?"

"Of course. Without her, all of us here would die."

"Is it so powerful? The spring water must be special and have powerful effects?"

"No, that's just regular water."

"Ordinary water?" Wentian asked in surprise: "What are you grabbing for ordinary water?"

"You are outsiders and don't know the situation here." A younger person in the other team replied: "There is a problem with the land here. I don't know why all the water is undrinkable. Those ponds, rivers, and wells brought it up You can use water for washing and farming, but you cannot drink it. Drinking a small amount will cause poisoning reactions such as difficulty breathing and temporary blindness, and drinking a large amount will cause immediate death."

I asked in surprise: "Don't tell me that your two countries only rely on drinking that spring water? How much water do hundreds of thousands of people need to drink?"

"No, no, there is not that much water in the spring. The amount of water in the Spring of Life is very small, only about two barrels per month. And it always flows out suddenly on that day, but usually there is not a drop."

"How can a little water be enough?"

"The Fountain of Life is not for drinking directly. Its function is to detoxify. We put ordinary water into a large pool, and then add the Fountain of Life into it, so that all the water in the pool is drinkable."

Wentian guessed: "Although this spring water can detoxify, it must reach a certain proportion to be effective, right?"

"Yes. That's it. Every time when the spring is about to erupt, we send people to the spring to get water. As long as we can get the spring water, we will have water to drink next month."

"But Rosta Country also needs water, and they always compete with you for water? That's why you often fight, right?"

"right."

At this point, the situation became clear. There was no essential conflict between the two countries. The only problem was water. As long as there is water, these two countries will not fight again, but I can't produce water. correct. "Have you never considered the rain?"

"Who says there isn't?" said the leader: "Thanks to the rainwater, we can drink it directly, otherwise we would have died of thirst just relying on the water purified by the spring water. But the rain here is unstable, and sometimes it rains continuously for several days. , sometimes there is not a drop of water for several months in a row, no one dares to just count on rain!”

"What kind of water does your horse drink?" Wentian noticed that the other party had a mount. There was not enough water for everyone to drink, and the horse wanted to share it, so that was okay.

"The animals here are not afraid of poisonous water, only people are not, so livestock can still be raised. However, the blood of all livestock is the same as poisonous water. It doesn't matter if it is a small amount, but it will kill people if it is too much."

"Have you paid attention to the plants here? Maybe the animals know what to eat to fight toxins?"

"We have already experimented. We only fed a few horses flour, and the result was that they were still not afraid of the toxins, which shows that this is not because the plants they eat can detoxify."

"Have you tried distilled water?" Wentian actually came up with such a weird idea.

"Ah? What kind of distillation?" These people don't know what distillation means.

I explained: "It means boiling water and then using an iron plate to collect the water vapor. This can remove impurities in the water. It is generally very effective in dealing with toxic or dirty water."

"Oh! Are you talking about mist water? We have also experimented with that. No, the collected water is still poisonous."

It seems that the toxic substance in the water is a substance that can evaporate and condense together with the water, and the high temperature cannot destroy the structure of this substance. Wentian also understood it roughly. He pushed me and said, "It seems to be an organic toxin. I have never heard that chemical toxins cannot be distilled away."

I said to those people: "We want to help you. Maybe we can solve the water problem. Can you take us to your city?"

"Okay, come with us."

The few people there were very nice to talk to, and they even gave us two horses. But the leader finally added: "Although we can entertain you, drinking water may not be provided. All drinking water here is rationed. If it is given to you, it means that some people have no water to drink."

Wentian immediately said nervously: "Oops, Ziri, how much water did you bring? I only have half a bag of water. I don't usually go out of the city, so I usually don't bring too much water."

"Don't worry, I brought a lot. I poured it out enough for you to sail the ship. You won't be able to drink it all within a year." Because the space bracelet is large, I have a lot of information on medicines, drinking water, food, torches, etc. Some consumables such as crossbow arrows and various scrolls are carried in large quantities.

After following them on the road, I did not ride a horse with Wentian. The horse was much smaller than Yeying. If I rode with Wentian, I would definitely hug him. I am not used to being too close to men. Fortunately, I still have wings, so I have no problem flying. The people in front were very surprised by my colorful wings, but they didn't say anything. It is not strange to see non-human creatures in this magical age.

According to them, our destination is the only city in Bayite Kingdom - Philharmonic City. There are a total of more than 100,000 people in Bayete, half of whom are in this city, but despite this, this La La City is still not big. Think about a city with only tens of thousands of people. Can it be considered a big city?

The city I saw in the distance was much larger than I expected. It was a bit strange that a city with tens of thousands of people living in it should be so huge. When we got nearby, we realized something was wrong. There were many huge buildings in the city that took up more than half of the city's area, and these buildings didn't seem to be used to live in.

Each of these large buildings is more than ten meters high, and the top width is more than ten meters. Such huge things are really strange. The shape of these things is also very strange, like an overturned parasol, with an umbrella-shaped object like a cauldron on the top, and a round base grounded at the bottom. It looks like a satellite antenna.

The person who brought us here explained: "These are rain warehouses. When it rains, the rainwater will be collected by those big pots to the center. There is a hole there, and the rainwater will flow into the water tank below and be stored. This is what we have here. It’s a lifeline.”

"It turns out to be something to collect rainwater!" Now I understand why so many big things are built in the city. In fact, not only the city, but the area near the city is almost full of these things. The potential of people to survive is really great.

"You guys wait here. We are patrol guards and cannot take you everywhere. I will inform the king and someone will entertain you."

"Thank you." Wentian and I both fell to the ground.

After the captain ran away, many people nearby gathered around. It seemed that the conditions here were quite difficult. The people were all wearing rough linen clothes, and they were all very shabby. It felt like they were wearing sacks. Looking around, these people found that there was indeed a serious lack of water here. Almost everyone's lips were peeling, which was obviously caused by thirst.

The captain returned soon, and with him was a knight. This person's equipment is much better, and he seems to have a higher status. The captain said goodbye to us and left. The knight saluted us and said, "I am the captain of the Royal Guard. The king wants to receive you. Come with me."

Wentian and I followed the guard captain into the city, and we reached the palace not far away. In fact, it is better to say that it is a palace than a larger courtyard. Let alone grand and spectacular, these buildings are not even luxurious at all. A three-story stone building covering an area of ​​several thousand square meters, this is the palace. Come to think of it, this place itself is very difficult. All the labor available is used to build rainwater collectors. Who has the heart to build a house? Drinking water is definitely more important than housing.

I was shocked when I entered the room. The house that looked dilapidated from the outside was nothing like that inside. If you didn’t know better, you would definitely think this is the Crystal Palace. Almost everything in the room, including walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture, is made of crystal. Could it be that this place is rich in crystals?

The guard captain took us to the door of a room and stopped, knocking on the amethyst door. "Your Highness, the guests have arrived."

A voice came from inside: "Bring them in."

The captain opened the door, and the light in the room dazzled my eyes. The room behind this door is actually more exaggerated than the outside. A large number of crystal objects of various colors reflect light of different colors, making people unable to open their eyes. After barely adapting to the light, I saw the super beautiful crystal throne. The main part of the thing was transparent white crystal, with countless gems of various colors and some gold inlaid on it. The most beautiful thing is the backrest of the throne. There is a crystal falcon spreading its wings on it. It is really beautiful.

After staring at the chair for a long time, I noticed the little old man sitting on the throne, mainly because the chair was so dazzling. "Are you two guests from out of town?"

"Hello, Your Highness the King, we are adventurers from a distant place." I opened the bracelet and dug out ten giant wooden barrels as tall as a person. These were originally fresh water storage barrels used on ships. Later, they were replaced when new warships were built. If the water storage tank is gone, this thing will be useless. I lost it, but it was a pity that they were all used to hold water for easy portability. "Your Highness the King, these buckets are full of clean water that can be directly drank. I heard that you are very short of water. Let me give you this as a meeting gift." Each bucket is worth 1 gold coin, which is 1 RMB. The water comes from the river. for free. It only costs 10 yuan to send ten buckets of water. What a cheap gift!

As the saying goes, things are more valuable when they are scarce, and there is a shortage of water here. The old king's eyes were straight when he saw such a big bucket. When he heard that it was pure water, he smiled and his eyes became slits. "Guests from afar, thank you so much for your gift. On behalf of my people, I thank you for your gift." The old king was pretending to be dignified just now, but he immediately became enthusiastic when he saw the gift. The highest level of gift-giving is to give people what they want most, not what you think is the most valuable.

The guards who came up next to me couldn't move such a big bucket. Later, I helped them put the bucket down and worked in pairs to roll the bucket before transporting the big bucket away. The old king was even more happy when he saw that these barrels were so heavy. This barrel was two and a half tons, and ten barrels of water were 25 tons. How could he not be happy? But the king seemed to have a big appetite. "The distinguished guest seems to have brought a lot of water. I wonder if it is okay...?"

"I've heard about the situation here. This little water is definitely not enough. I also brought a lot of water here. I should have taken the initiative to support you, but this water was originally going to be sold to a desert country, so it can't be all I’m giving it to you. And I am also cooperating with others. I have already given away all my bonuses from the 10 barrels just now. I can’t use other people’s things as gifts! But if you are willing to buy it, I can make the final decision. Come out and give it to you." My gift is not for free, think of it as my two hundred and fifty!

"This...!" The old fox only wanted benefits and did not do anything for him. After thinking about it for a long time, he nodded and said, "I wonder how many you have?"

"As for the two-and-a-half-ton bucket just now, I still have 0 barrels, but I can't sell them all to you. I can sell only 1 barrel at most. This is the limit of what I can do." Hey, actually I have more than 400 barrels here, less Only by reporting points can you get the maximum benefit. If you tell him everything, it will be difficult to sell.

"So many?" The old king was a little surprised, but he was a king after all, so he quickly calmed down. "What do you want to trade for?"

I looked around. "It seems that your production of gems and crystals is very rich here? How about using crystals and gems?" Exchanging the things that are most lacking here in exchange for what they have the most is the king of transactions. If they were really rich in crystals, they wouldn't be too valuable. It would be a good business to exchange water for crystals for free! No matter whether this mission can be completed or not, as long as this transaction is completed, it will be a worthwhile trip.

Wentian whispered to me from the side: "Now I know why your guild's welfare is so good."

I whispered back: "This is called business acumen. As a leader, I have many people who want money, so I have to remember to scrape money at all times!"

The king had already thought of it. "Okay. But how do you plan to change it?"

"It's hard to say. I want to see the color of the crystal here first."

"Come here! Show the guests some of the gems and crystals we produce here."

After the king spoke, the people below also started to work immediately. Soon a group of waitresses came to me dragging trays. The trays in their hands were filled with various gems and crystals. I looked at them one by one and found that they were all of the best quality. Not only were they very shiny, but they were also very large. What surprised me most was that there were magic crystals inside.

"Your Highness, these gems are good, I think so. Use a big scale to weigh them. How about I exchange ten tons of water for one ton of crystals, and one ton of water for one ton of gems?"

"Isn't this too expensive?" The king is also a cunning person, and he actually bargained with me. "I think twenty tons of water and one ton of crystals, fifty tons of water and one ton of gems are about the same."

I deliberately pretended to be very angry and said: "Your Highness. I did not raise an unreal price. This is the minimum price. If you think you can afford it, I will sell it. If not, I will leave. Anyway, I have already contacted the buyer. This water is originally I am going to send him to the desert country to save my life, but he is waiting for me with gems and gold." Do not be stubborn in doing business. The more anxious you are to sell someone, the more you will bargain with them. The more pretentious you are, the easier it will be to sell. Anyway, the gift just now is only 10 yuan, so I’m not afraid if the business fails. At worst, I’ll go to Rosita Country, where there will definitely be a shortage of water. Who is selling it to?

"Guests, don't be excited. Just follow your wishes. Can't we buy it?"

"It would be great."

The king said: "But guest, I hope you can sell more. We have so many citizens, and this little water is not enough!"

“One barrel is the limit.”

"The people of Bayet are begging you, please sell us more?" The king began to pretend to be pitiful.

I pretended to struggle for a long time before saying, "Okay then! At the price just now, I will sell all 0 barrels to you."

"Oh! Thank you Bayette for being a forever friend."

"Stop it. Don't be too busy to be happy yet. I have conditions."

"Please say, if only we can do it."

I looked at his throne. "Your throne looks very beautiful..."

"This throne?" The king was a little surprised. "But this is a symbol of royal power!"

"You misunderstood. I don't want this, but I want you to help me build a similar throne. Such a big crystal is hard to find elsewhere."

"no problem."

"I want to inlay more gems and make it more beautiful."

"No problem, absolutely no problem."

"And the one above, I don't want an eagle, I want a giant dragon. It needs to be more ferocious and fierce."

"Absolutely no problem, absolutely no problem."

"I also hope that the proportions of the throne can be made larger. The hall in my place is relatively large, and yours is a bit smaller. It would be better to be two meters high and two meters wide."

"Uh!...There is a problem with this. It seems that there are not such big crystals, or it is not easy to find."

"Then what if I help you fight for control of the Fountain of Life?"

"Then there's no problem." Old guy, there are still benefits in the end. As soon as I told him that he had a problem and I offered him a favor, he immediately became fine with it.

Wentian from behind interrupted us and said, "Your Majesty, we have something to say in private, is that okay?"

Seeing that there was almost everything to talk about, the king said: "No problem, you can go to the lounge next to us to talk. I will let you know when the crystal is ready."

"Okay, we'll see you soon." Wentian pulled me out anxiously, which made me confused. When he got to the room, he immediately closed the door as soon as the attendant left Wentian. "Are you crazy?"

"What's wrong?"

"Did you forget what we came in for?"

"No. You came here to do a mission."

"Then you promised like that just now?"

"That's not a promise, that's looking for help."

"Help?" Wentian's guild is not big after all, and his ability to play tricks is still a little worse than mine.

I started to explain. "Tell me what our mission is?"

"Solve the dispute between the two countries." Wentian replied.

"Okay. What do you want to do to resolve the dispute?"

This question was somewhat general and immediately stopped Wentian. "I think we need to convince both parties to stop, right?"

"Wrong, and it's very wrong. Will the dispute between the two countries be resolved immediately? If it were that simple, there would be no war. Let me tell you." I sat in the room. Zhang Zhang said unhurriedly on the luxurious crystal sofa: "To eliminate war, we need to first understand the conditions for war to occur. First, a war requires two forces, and one slap cannot make a sound. Second, war requires a Contradictions, a war without contradictions cannot be fought. Third, a war needs the support of the people. A war that everyone in the country opposes cannot be fought. Even in a feudal country, one person does not really have the final say. Usually It is all resource issues that attract people's attention. In reality, wars are basically over resources.

It will be easier once you know the elements. Let’s eliminate it backwards. The third item is the support of the people. Now the people of both countries support it because they need water if they want to survive. Everyone is willing to fight for water. If you don’t fight, you will die of thirst, but if you fight, you can still survive. The second item is contradiction. The current contradiction is that there are more people and less water, which is related to the third reason. The only way to fix it is to find plenty of water. We have both studied it just now. It is obvious that there is not enough water, and we cannot change it, so it is impossible to solve the problem of water. "

Wentian asked anxiously: "You are saying that it is useless for us to ask them not to fight for the time being. As long as there is not enough water, they will not cease fighting?"

"Yes. The war will not end until the drinking water problem is solved."

"Isn't that hopeless?"

“So I thought about starting from the first element.”

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You can only fight when there are two countries? Since you can't solve the conflict, just solve the country. Let go and support one country to destroy the other country. As long as all the people in Rosetta are killed, only Baye will be left. That's great. Then everything will be solved. There is enough water, so everyone should stop grabbing it, there will be no more wars, the disputes will be resolved, and the world will be at peace!"

"It is indeed a good idea and courageous enough. At least I don't have the courage like you. But is this too much?"

"If Rose were here, maybe she would consider using the second method, but this time I'm the only one here."

"Rose?"

"My wife. She's smarter than me and kinder than me."

"So you have a second plan to solve the problem peacefully?"

"Yes, I do have a second plan. If I use the second plan, no one will have to die. But the second plan may require the two of us to take risks, and it may not be completed. The Dragon Clan's original intention may be that we use that second plan Plan, otherwise there would not have been a test of soaking in the purification pool from the beginning."

Wentian said helplessly: "Who knew that such a super villain like you not only evaporated the pond, but also came in and directly considered using the simplest but evil first option?"

"If Rose were here, I would definitely use the second option, but it's a pity that she's not here. My veins are full of ice crystals, and kindness has nothing to do with me."

"Eh? What is your second plan?"

"You want to know?"

"certainly."

"Actually, I not only have a second option, I also have a third option. The third option is to build a large number of rainwater collectors. I think if the current number of collectors is doubled, the water problem will basically be solved, but this It may be slower. As for the second option! Enter the forest and find the spring. There should be some boss nearby that affects the water quality in the area. From the beginning, we analyzed that the water is biotoxin, which must be caused by the toxic boss. . As long as we kill it, it will be ok, but we are taking an F-level super mission. I guess that boss will not be easy to deal with. If we accidentally fail to kill it and let it kill both of us, we will be in big trouble. So I say you should feel at ease and be the big villain. When the time comes, we will follow Bayete's army to defeat Rosetta. How simple is this? The two countries are already equal in strength. Whichever side we help will definitely win. "

"But I still feel panicked in my heart. They just want water, but we want to massacre the city!"

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can think about it in another way. You can save Bayette by destroying Rosetta. If we kill one to save another, it's not a big crime, right? Besides, if we keep fighting like this, sooner or later the two countries will finish playing together. , it is better for us to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain."

"Forget it! The more you talk, the more scary you become! I think you are a businessman, and an evil 'profiteer' at that."

"That's right. But when it comes to businessmen, I really want to do business with you."

"Ah? Make a deal with me?" Wentian answered very readily: "No matter what the deal is, I refuse."

This time it surprised me. "Why?"

"Because you are a profiteer."

"Wrong. Although I am not kind, I am very upright. A transaction is a transaction, and I never force my clients. On the surface, it looks like I am taking advantage, but in fact, all my shell customers have received actual benefits. For example, this time. It seems that I am taking advantage by exchanging water for crystals, but in fact they do not suffer any loss. Water is life to them, and crystals are abundant for them. Not to mention garbage, at least they are just firewood in the forest, picked up in piles. If you exchange their lives for something they can just pick up, who will take advantage?"

"You know how to scheme anyway, I am an honest person and won't tell you."

"Don't be so determined! What I want to talk about is a good thing. I know many of you don't want to stay on Dragon Island. I can take you out. What do you think of this?"

Wentian suddenly said seriously: "On the contrary, not only do I not want you to help us get out, but I hope you can prevent people from outside from coming in."

"Ah? Why?"

"The reason is very simple, but you didn't think of it at the moment. None of our small accounts are on Long Island. It is said that people will choose accounts that are not on Long Island to have more development prospects, but the reason why everyone still uses the large account is because of the experience value of Long Island. And mission rewards. Maybe you don’t know, our mission rewards here are various skills, and they are quite easy to use. Everyone is reluctant to part with these rewards, so they are reluctant to give up the large account. But everyone is eager to go out, return to the mainland and meet more players It would be more interesting to communicate.”

"Isn't that just right? I can take you out."

"That's everyone's hope, not mine."

I looked at Wentian blankly, and after a long time, I suddenly realized what was going on. "Oh! I understand. Haha! So that's what you meant?"

"As long as you understand." Wentian smiled sinisterly.

"You guy, you were talking about me just now, but now it seems that you are worse than me."

"As a leader, sometimes being too kind will only make things wrong."

"That's true, but I have to leave Long Island anyway. Not taking people out is a disguised loss for me. I can't not take people out for your sake?"

"This is what worries me. Now it seems that I don't have enough conditions to bribe you, which is really embarrassing."

"Then you think about your conditions slowly. When we are about to leave, if you think of any conditions that are enough to bribe me, I will choose to help you even if the benefits are equal to the benefits I bring people out."

"Okay, as a businessman, if you can say this, you are giving me face."

There was a bang and the door was suddenly knocked open. "You are so despicable." A scolding voice made us all turn our attention to the door.

Standing next to the frosted crystal door was a young girl. She was dressed in white gauze, which highlighted her graceful figure. Her beautiful face was really dazzling with the sparkling gems. This is definitely a beauty, although not as good as the rose but it is still top quality. The girl's face was rosy with excitement. She rushed to us aggressively and pointed at the tip of my nose with her white finger. "How can you do this? Is human life insignificant? Rosetta is an enemy country, but she is also a human being? Besides, how many people will die in the war? If Rosetta dies, at least half of us will die. You just want to save yourself trouble. Push us all out to die?”

Bang, my wings suddenly opened. "Do you see this feather? Do you know what this black feather represents? I am not an angel. You have to pay a price for making a deal with the devil. By the way, beautiful lady, are you Did you make a mistake? If you don’t want to complete the deal, of course I can join forces with Rosetta to kill you all. This doesn’t seem to be a problem for me.”

The beautiful lady was very confident and even said with a bit of pride: "I'm sure the Kingdom of Rosetta will not accept your deal. King William is not as vicious as you." Look at the youthful look on her face when she spoke. I understand everything clearly. This one is probably Princess Bayette, and the king of Rosita is probably her lover. What a modern version of Romeo and Juliet!

"Your Highness, since you have been eavesdropping outside for so long, I think you should have heard my final goal? As long as the dispute is resolved, I will complete the mission. If you are not willing to cooperate, I have a fourth plan."

When Wentian heard that there was a fourth plan, he immediately asked: "Do you have a fourth plan?"

"Yes. The fourth option is a variant of the first option. A slap won't make a sound, and without a slap, it won't make a sound."

"You mean to kill both countries?"

"The two parties to the dispute no longer exist, and the dispute is gone. It's over."

"You...?" The princess was frightened and took two steps back. "You devil!"

"Please don't state one thing repeatedly. I know my own race." In fact, I would not consider destroying both countries at all. Now I am just teasing her for fun. Anyway, she is not a king. I don't want the old king to come. Will stop her opinion.

Wentian suddenly said: "Ziri, I'm thinking about the magic pet mission that the Dragon Clan talked about. Do you think the reward for the F-level mission will be very powerful? If we simply resolve the dispute without killing the monster, there will be no magic pet. Really? That thing is much more valuable than gems. I heard from my friend that it has a price but no market!"

When he said this, I was stunned. It's really like losing watermelons and picking sesame seeds. That magic pet is worth much more than gems. He raised his hand and put down the mask. "Wentian, the plan has changed. Come with me and kill the poisonous monster."

When the princess heard this, she immediately grabbed Wentian happily. "Thank you for your help. Since you are going to find the source of the poisonous water, don't be in a hurry. We will gather some people to go with you later, right?"

This guy Wentian really gets weak in the legs when he sees a woman, and he actually pulled me. "Should we wait first? Otherwise, you won't be able to sell the water after the poisonous water problem is solved."

"It will take several months for the water quality to return to normal even if the source of the poison is gone. It won't be so easy to destroy my business. But..." I turned to the princess. "You seem to be very familiar with King Rosita? Can you get him to do some good? And send troops to help?"

"You're dreaming!" The princess glared at me angrily: "You greedy bastard."

"If it doesn't work, forget it. It doesn't matter if I can't complete the mission anyway, but your people have to worry about the water problem again!"

The princess angrily stamped her foot and turned around and shouted: "Alina, set off fireworks to summon William's messenger."

"Yes princess." A maid immediately turned around and ran out.

"Are you satisfied with this?"

"Don't make any mistake, it's you who are asking me for help, and I don't care. So what? You'd better not make me angry, otherwise it won't be a big deal if I fail to complete the task when I get excited, but it will be a big deal if you don't have water in the whole country. . In other words, if I am unhappy and want to take you away in exchange, you will never see that king. I am the person who likes to torture people the most. If you are taken away by me, you will live or die. The door is open."

The princess was so angry that I shouted: "If you dare to threaten my father and take me away, I will commit suicide."

"It doesn't matter, just die. The former Dark Goddess is my pet. When you die, I will resurrect you as an undead. No, that won't be fun. By the way, when you die, I will put you into the water first. Soak for two days and then resurrect as a zombie. By then, your beautiful face will be swollen so big, with many holes on it, and large groups of small flesh worms crawling around in those holes. Wow! That look... …”

"Ah! No!" The princess was so frightened that she covered her ears and squatted on the ground crying. "I don't dare anymore...555~Don't!"

"Hahahaha, little girls are so easy to deceive! They scare you just by saying a few words."

Wentian came up to comfort the princess and said to me: "Ziri, please stop scaring her. She is still a little girl." After saying that, she turned to the princess and said: "Don't listen to him, he is just scaring you. That guy I guess he's often bullied by women, but today he took it out on you because he was easy to bully. If his rose wife were here, I guess he would be honest."

"Really?" The princess suddenly stared at Wentian with big eyes full of tears. "Can that woman named Rose really control this demon?"

Wentian was asked inexplicably. "Probably? Why are you asking? She's not here."

"I have a way to get her over." The princess suddenly stood up and pulled out a pendant with a strange symbol from the collar of her clothes. It turned out that the material was actually made of red-striped magic crystal. "Open the door to the starry sky for me. Call the woman named Rose to come to me!" Is it true? Can this thing summon players? Don’t you know if Rose is online or not?

Suddenly a red light flashed in front of us, and a person appeared in front of everyone.

"Rose?"

"Purple sun?"

Oh my God! That pendant really summons the rose. But...but how is this possible? "Rose? Is that you? You...why did you come here?"

"Honey, I don't know! I was discussing things with Ying just now, and suddenly the system prompts that the NPC Princess Lala is calling for my help and asking me if I agree. I didn't know what it meant, so I thought it was a task, so I chose to agree, and this is the result. Here we come. What is this place?"

I stared at the necklace in the princess's hand with bright eyes. It's great to be able to directly summon the player's baby! Babies who are seen by me usually...hehehehehe! However, according to Rose, it seems that the summoned person can choose whether to accept it or not. After all, it is the player who is being summoned. If the other party does not agree, it is not good to force the transmission, so there is a selection function.

"Big sister? Are you the rose?"

"Huh?" Rose was a little confused. After all, she was talking to Eagle a few seconds ago, and she was also confused when she suddenly appeared here.
