Chapter 409 Columbus is late
In addition to family discounts, Miss Rabbit also gave Greta and Ruby a brooch each, which looked similar to Blanco's, but made of copper.
The female lord explained, "Every member of the Arias family has this kind of brooch, but only the head of the family wears it in gold, while the others wear silver and copper. Well, maybe it's because our ancestors are too poor. Yes...but that's not the point.
"The point is that with this brooch, at least you can travel unimpeded in the Green Fields, except for my treasure house, which is a matter of course. And if you encounter any trouble, you can also use this brooch to ask for help from the guards of the nearby Arias family. .”
Miss Rabbit kept her word and gave the two people treatment that only family members could have.
Ruby took the brooch with both hands and thanked her profusely. She looked flattered, which was very helpful to the female lord.
Looking at the other person, he just glanced at it briefly and threw it into the small bag on his waist.
Greta then said to Ilea impatiently, "If you have nothing else to do, I will go back to Shuangxiujiao's territory."
The female lord was not angry, and said with a smile, "Don't leave in a hurry. You haven't had lunch yet. I'll ask the cook to cook something for you. There are a lot of ingredients left, and they are all top quality."
"No," Greta flatly refused, "The cat and mouse are about to start, and I have to go back to watch. Just give me a few loaves of bread."
"Okay." Miss Rabbit didn't force her and let Greta leave.
As soon as Greta left, another person came outside the castle.
The man who came was tall and strong, with a fierce look on his face. He didn't look like a kind person, which made the guards guarding the door nervous. However, when they saw the appearance of the man clearly, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
One of them even greeted him warmly, "Mr. Columbus, long time no see."
Niu Xiangui wiped the sweat from his cheeks and got off the bicycle. He felt that his butt was almost numb, and he forced a smile on his face.
Then he recalled that he had learned mainland etiquette from Clara and spoke a half-baked common language.
"I am Columbus, a follower of Shuangxiu Cult. I am here to attend Sir Ilea's birthday ceremony on behalf of Prophet Merlin. Please help me inform you about it."
The two guards looked at each other in confusion after hearing what he said. After a while, the man who was the first to greet Niu Xiangui said, "Are you talking about the birthday party?"
"Yes, yes, it's a birthday party. I got up early this morning, pedal, pedal..." Niu Xiangui thought for a long time and couldn't figure out how to say bicycle in Bratislava.
He simply patted the old Phoenix bicycle with a child on the back seat next to him, "This... I've been pedaling all the way, and I'm almost hungry. When are you going to have dinner? By the way, I even brought a gift."
As Niu Xiangui said this, he pushed his bicycle aside, then reached out and took out a package from the vegetable basket in front of him.
When he looked up, he saw that the two guards in front of him were still standing there, not moving a step.
A look of confusion first appeared on Niu Xiangui's face, and then he quickly realized, "It's international practice, right? I understand, I understand."
After speaking, he took out a silver coin from his body and quietly put it into the hand of a guard.
The latter was startled and quickly returned the hot silver coin to Niu Xiangui.
"No, Lord Columbus, you misunderstood. The main reason is that...the banquet is no longer available," the guard said.
"What?" Niu Xiangui trembled, "You canceled at the last minute?! I came all the way here."
"That's not true. It's done."
"…………"
When Niu Xiangui heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
He wasn't lying, he did wake up early this morning.
Not counting helping to complete the "Traveler's Manual", this was the first serious task he had received in such a long time since he came to Green Field.
That's right, there are mission requirements, mission rewards, and even upgrade experience. Isn't this just a standard mission?
Niu Xiangui just didn't expect that Li Yu would also copy the system in the game.
But he soon figured out the meaning of Li Yu's move, or thought he understood the meaning of Li Yu's move.
Turn work into a game and it won't seem so hard or annoying.
After all, even if it is just mechanical repetitive work, playing games is more enjoyable than working.
It should be said that he is indeed the prophet of Shuangxiu Cult and the spokesperson of Saturday in the world. He is thoughtful and considerate. The more Niu Xiangui thinks about it, the more he admires him.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two months since he came to this plane. Although he has not been able to pass T4, he has learned some common expressions.
After evaluation, Li Yu decided to give him some novice tasks, otherwise it would be a bit boring to just study.
Moreover, walking around in the green field will also help the travelers to understand the world as quickly as possible and adapt to their roles, while at the same time the danger will not be too high.
It happened that Li Yu was not there on the day of Ilea's birthday, so he asked Niu Xiangui to help him deliver the birthday gift to Teacup Castle. By the way, it could also satisfy Niu Xiangui's curiosity and see how the nobles in the Middle Ages held banquets. Eat a meal.
When a new mission came out, Niu Xiangui was very excited and immediately agreed.
However, as a city white-collar worker, he, like Li Yu before him, could not ride a horse. Considering the distance between Teacup Castle and Shuangxiujiao territory, it would be too cruel for him to walk there with his legs.
So Li Yu temporarily lent him a bicycle picked up by [Environmental Frog] as a means of transportation, and agreed to return it after the task was completed.
It's just that this bicycle is not very easy to ride. Its original owner probably only used it to transport his children to kindergarten and buy groceries. He never considered using it to challenge the wilderness.
In addition, Niu Xiangui had not ridden a bicycle since college, and he was not familiar with the roads and took many detours. What was even worse was that he did not have a device that could tell the time.
Then tragedy happened.
Niu Xiangui worked hard all the way, stepping on the wheel so hard that his butt was almost smashed. As a result, he got up early and rushed to the late market. He had already finished eating and closed the stall before he even took out his chopsticks. Son.
Who can withstand this?
Fortunately, the guard outside the door was quite smart and quickly informed the female lord about Niu Xiangui's visit. Miss Rabbit was also very generous and directly decided to let the kitchen cook another table, just in time for Ruby and Niu Xiangui eat.
Niu Xiangui was a little disappointed not to see the legendary aristocratic banquet, but it was acceptable to change the big pot to a small stove, not to mention there were two beauties sitting next to him.
Being able to feast his eyes on it while dining, Niu Xiangui feels that he should have made a profit. (End of chapter)
