Chapter 64: Princess's Storyline, Stages 3-5, Favorability System
Gorse City is a huge city and the largest city in the entire game.
The entire city is located at the confluence of the rivers in the rich Tanzania Plain. From the appearance, it can be seen as a rectangle that is slightly longer from east to west and slightly narrower from north to south.
According to the measurement data of the previous life textual research party, the entire city is 9721 meters wide from east to west and 8651 meters wide from north to south. The city wall is 12 meters high, and there are about 600,000 civilians living in the city.
The former Plantagenet City was very prosperous and wealthy. It was the political, cultural and commercial center of the entire Plantagenet Empire.
But now, Su Yu rode on Tima and walked on the street. He found that the residents on both sides of the street were sad and gloomy, and the whole city was full of a dead feeling.
This is not unrelated to the big background.
Now the northern Kalet rebels have approached Plantagenet City, and no residents believe that the royal family can defend this city. A catastrophe is about to befall everyone in the city.
Su Yu certainly also felt this solemn and murderous atmosphere.
However, he was not from this world, so he did not have much empathy for this. All he could think about was completing the task quickly and getting the reward.
No. 19, Berglit Street.
This is a three-story single-family villa with a large garden. The princess's guard, Kelderon, lives here when he takes a break from work.
"Hello! I'm an adventurer, and I want to see Kelderon."
When he arrived at the gate of the villa, Su Yu put Tima's horse brand back into his backpack and said to the two guards in front of the door.
"Hello, sir!" One of the guards in white full-body armor saluted Su Yu respectfully: "Our master has been busy with official duties recently, and he has said that he will not receive any visitors during this period. Please forgive me!"
Because Su Yu has 2 points of world reputation, his current status is no less than that of a baron, so the guards are very respectful to him.
"I'm from Nolan Village." Su Yu opened his backpack and took out a letter: "This is a handwritten letter from the head of Nolan Village to Kelderon. I hope you can pass the letter to your master."
"Nolan Village?!" The two guards were surprised to hear the name.
Nolan Village has a relationship with adventurers from another world, and the NPCs all know it.
"Well, I'll give the letter to the master now."
The white-armored guard did not dare to neglect it. He respectfully took the letter with both hands, and then ran into the villa with a "clang clang clang".
...
Five minutes later, the white-armored guard came out, and his expression was much more respectful than before.
"My lord, the master is waiting for you in the hall!" The guard bowed deeply to Su Yu, his body almost bent to 90 degrees.
"Well, lead the way." Su Yu's expression did not change, and he followed the guard into the residence.
In the hall on the first floor of the villa, Su Yu met Kelderon.
Kelderon is a middle-aged man with a square face and a resolute complexion. He is the kind of person who looks decent.
Because of his shift, he did not wear armor, but an ordinary blue silk robe.
When he saw Su Yu walk into the hall, he immediately stood up to greet him: "Hello, adventurer, I am Kelderon, the guard of the princess!"
"Hello, I am Nemesis, an ordinary adventurer." Su Yu shook hands with him.
"I have read the handwritten letter from the village chief."
Kelderon made a "please" gesture to the seat next to him, and then went straight to the point: "The Star-Forging Dragon King is a powerful existence in the Wind Bell Empire. The number of strong men in our Plantagenet Empire who can fight it does not exceed 5."
"Well, I know." Su Yu nodded.
"If it were in the past, Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Majesty the Emperor would definitely pay attention to this strong man, but now..."
Kelderon sighed: "You know the current situation of the empire. The rebels are almost reaching the imperial capital. Under internal and external troubles, Her Royal Highness the Princess is too busy to summon you for this matter."
"What do you need me to do?" Su Yu asked.
From Kelderon's tone, Su Yu heard something: Kelderon didn't want to introduce him to the princess, but wanted to take advantage of this matter.
Sure enough, Kelderon said with a smile: "If you can help me complete a few tasks, I promise to introduce you to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I will say a few good words for you so that you can get the attention of the Prince."
"For the empire, it is my duty." Su Yu stood up and answered.
"No, no, no, not for the empire, but for a few small things of my own." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Kelderon's face, but fortunately, this trace of embarrassment was quickly concealed by him.
"Adventurer, the overall situation of the empire is deteriorating. The royal family will definitely not be able to defend Plantagenet City. The three-year-old children playing on the street know it." Kelderon's face was heavy.
Su Yu nodded without saying anything, quietly waiting for him to continue.
"Because the city is about to fall, the capable officials and nobles in the city have already transferred all their assets to other places, and I am no exception."
"My family and assets have all been transferred to the Forest City in the west, leaving only this house. But because the road to the west is rampant with bandits, it is very dangerous, and I have lost contact with my family for a long time."
"Adventurer, are you willing to go to Forest City and report safety to my family?"
As he said, Kelderon took out a handwritten letter and handed it to Su Yu solemnly.
"Ding! Your main line has been updated! [The Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (3/100)]."
"Quest requirements: Deliver Kelderon's handwritten letter to Millie Kelderon at No. 24 Merck Street, Forest City."
"Quest rewards: Experience points X2000, Millie Kelderon's favorability +1, 100 psychic coins."
"It's actually an NPC with 'favorability'?" Su Yu was slightly surprised.
[NPC Favorability] is a gameplay that will only be released in the second expansion pack. At present, the first expansion pack should only use the main storyline as a pilot.
Improve the favorability of an NPC. After the favorability reaches a certain standard, the player can capture the NPC, become friends with the NPC, or even marry the NPC.
After marriage, you can also have children. The children have a separate set of development gameplay, which can work, study, and fight monsters. Anyway, it is a very complicated gameplay.
"Okay, I will definitely deliver the letter." Su Yu said goodbye to Kelderon.
"Please, adventurer!" Kelderon waved.
In the following time, Su Yu was running Keldron's mission, which is the 3rd to 5th ring of [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire].
After avoiding the pursuit and interception of the bandits all the way and delivering the letter to Millie Keldron, Su Yu returned to the Plantagenet City and continued to help Keldron spy on the rebels, collect stolen money, and fight against dissidents.
It took him four hours to complete all the tasks.
As for Millie Keldron, a side quest for cultivating favorability was also opened, but Su Yu did not do it.
The reason is simple, she is too ugly.
"It's actually the real-life version of 'Ruhua', no wonder no one married her in the previous life." Su Yu felt sympathetic.
