Simps Always Have Their Reasons
Night falls.
Three pale blue moons hung high in the sky at the same time.
The world William exists in is so vast that it requires so many large satellites to mitigate his Gravity.
The Three Moons hanging in the night sky at the same time is a rare spectacle, making it worthwhile for many people to go out and celebrate.
The bright Moonlight and Magic Lamp illuminated the entire Dawn City. Regardless of its size, in terms of beauty, it far surpassed many human King City, though it could not compare to the King's Palace.
At this very moment, countless animals and races on the grassland would raise their heads and gaze at the city atop the cliff.
The Rainbow River, which flows through Dawn City, has been widened considerably. During the city's planning, many branches of the river were also dug out, allowing the river to spread throughout the city before finally converging and flowing down the cliff.
certainly.
Only the main artery of the Rainbow River is the true city center.
A Pavilion built over the river is located at the southernmost end of the square, offering a quiet view of the northern plains.
Since the cliff is the wall of Dawn City, William currently has no plans to build a high wall along its edge.
He sat in the Pavilion drinking Fruit Wine, surrounded by no one except a few children who were secretly watching this respected lord from a distance.
Some girls, blushing, would secretly gaze at him, inevitably considering him their dream lover. When they couldn't sleep at night, they might even do something...
William looked at the Commoners in the square, who were laughing, dancing, drinking, and singing near the central fountain.
He laughed heartily and downed the cup.
Footsteps sounded.
William did not turn around.
Lotner sighed. "Sir, you wish to see your mother?"
"How?"
"But you don't know, your mother..."
"Enough nonsense, speak." William turned his head, his gaze turning cold. His feelings for this unfamiliar mother were complicated. Putting aside the amount of kinship, he had inherited this identity and these feelings, and he should preserve them completely.
If something were to happen to this mother, William truly didn't know what he would do.
"My lord, after I brought back the Water of Life, many princes suggested to the Elven King... cough, the Black Leaf King finally decreed that Princess Alice would never see you again, or offer you any assistance."
"In short, nothing is allowed." Lotner said each word carefully.
After saying that.
Lotner looked completely exhausted.
He couldn't even imagine whether William, who was only sixteen and a half years old, would break down after hearing those words, or whether he would be filled with despair and sadness for the Black Leaf Elf.
No matter how wrong the child in front of you is.
But William possessing Half-Elf blood was never his fault; those Elven Prince of the Dark Night City were simply too much...
but,
William before him remained expressionless, still the same high and mighty lord he once was, showing no sign of wavering on the matter.
A long time passed.
William chuckled self-deprecatingly, "How heartless. Does that mean my suggestion to go to the Dark Night City is off?"
"This..." Lotner was speechless. He couldn't refute William in the meeting room, nor could he offer any explanation.
If outsiders were to find out about this, it would greatly undermine the lord's prestige.
Lotner was simply regretting not telling William the truth sooner, or rather, he had always treated William like a child and gradually forgotten that he was already a mature lord.
"You may leave now. Let me think about this myself." William waved his hand wearily, leaning against the cold Blackwater Stone, his thoughts drifting into the distance.
"Where can I get blueprints for building ocean-going ships? There are Seaside City, Eastern Sea Stronghold, the Three Major Empires, and even the Dwarf Race near the sea... Hmm, who else?" William rubbed his head.
Since we can't go to the Dark Night City, let's think of other ways.
There's always a way out; that's a belief he always held.
Instead of seeking a solution, you only blame yourself; that's something only a useless person would do.
He thought of some cities, but these cities or forces had already exceeded the territory of this 1.0 version.
It's alright if William goes to Dark Night City; at least his safety is guaranteed, no matter what. But if he goes elsewhere, that's a different story...
If he happens to run into some hot-tempered guys, he might just dig a hole and bury himself in the ground.
"In version 1.0, not to mention the landlocked Steel Duchy, even the Blackrock Duchy, which is slightly closer to the Eastern Sea, didn't vigorously develop its shipping industry. Although the game is realistic enough, I really know nothing about shipbuilding technology. I can barely make a small boat..." William felt a headache coming on.
but.
He's just showing off.
Even with tears in my eyes, I'll keep pretending to the end.
Otherwise, where would the lord's authority lie?
If he doesn't bring back the ship blueprints, what will his underlings think of him?
Moreover, being one step ahead means being ahead in every step. Developing the maritime industry ahead of time is of vital importance for future development. After all, the future is the sea of stars... no, it's about sailing the stars...
William stood up, his brow furrowed as he looked around in all directions. Memories of his past life kept replaying in his mind. He lost track of time until the Commoners in the square had all dispersed and gone home to rest.
His gaze once again turned to the west of the Blackleaf Forest.
He wasn't looking at the Dark Night City.
It's Blue Moon Town.
"The three great Elf Kingdom did not say that only the Black Leaf Elf possessed this shipbuilding technology. Although the Moonlight Elf are located on the central island of the Legendary Continent..."
But surrounding Moonlight Island lies a vast Large Lake, its area comparable to the Mediterranean Sea. Moreover, the Moonlight Elf have also inherited ancient traditions, and their shipbuilding technology is absolutely extraordinary.
William narrowed his eyes. The Moonlight Elf ' shipbuilding technology was certainly not easy to acquire, and what he needed to do next was...
lick...
There's no way around it.
For this Moonlight Elf Little Princess, only the word "lick" can win her favor.
"I never imagined I'd end up being a simp..." William felt a bit of a headache, but at least he was qualified to be a simp for the Princess; no one else was even qualified.
Thinking about it this way makes me feel much more comfortable, and even gives me a sense of superiority.
"Hmm, my friendship level with her is only 30 points right now?" William stroked his chin. He had only met Princess Angel once, and their relationship wasn't very friendly. These points of friendship were earned from the Mithril Exchange over the past six months.
This Princess, who sees herself as a fairy, is not only arrogant but also extremely difficult to please.
Another problem is...
This little fairy likes mundane things!
That is, Mithril, Gold Essence, gemstones, and all sorts of shiny, extremely valuable things.
According to the fairy, she was going to use these things to decorate her house, which was that huge tree that stretched as far as the eye could see.
William could hardly imagine how luxurious Annie's bedroom was; he really wanted to sleep there for a night...
Women and dragons really do share a common interest; there's no doubt about that.
"You can't just win favor by flattering people. I, the lord, possess Talent for flattery that is unparalleled in the world, but... it's too slow. This doesn't meet my expectations." William raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze south again.
"It's time to discover a new vein of ore, so... let's use it. It's valuable and dazzling enough. I don't believe it won't seduce this Little Princess. Then let Annie go to her father and beg him, and the shipbuilding blueprints will come right away, right?" William chuckled and licked his lips.
