Chapter 100 Delaying Time

After the negotiation, Su Yu's task log was updated.

"Ding! [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (12/100)] Completed, experience points X500."

"The next round of tasks will start in 60 minutes, please look forward to it."

"Is it over?"

After leaving Wolf Howl Castle, Su Yu rode Tima on the streets of the rich area and stretched.

But in his mind, he was still constantly recalling and analyzing the negotiation just now.

This negotiation looked stupid and funny. The negotiation had to stop for special reasons after just a few words.

But Su Yu knew that hidden under the negotiation table was a very complicated game.

And there was no loser in this game. All three parties involved achieved their goals.

Why do you say that?

It's very simple.

The goals of the princess, Duke Sefer, and Duke Landilus were different, but the three parties showed surprisingly consistent results in order to achieve their goals, that is - delaying time.

All three parties were delaying time.

Let's start with the princess.

The princess seemed to be the one who wanted to reach an agreement the most. She rushed to Maple Leaf City with a small group of people just to reach an agreement as soon as possible.

But Su Yu knew that the princess was stalling for time.

In fact, the princess did not want to reach an agreement with the rebels. She just used the negotiation as an excuse to buy time for her father to gather the army in the rear, and also to buy time for her secretly arranged plan and the hidden hand left behind.

Let's talk about Duke Anzu Sefer.

Duke Sefer wanted to extend the entire negotiation cycle as long as possible, preferably until the royal army was assembled.

In this way, Carter's troops were unable to move south. Even if he achieved his goal, he would no longer go to war with the royal family, but consolidate the occupied territory.

And Duke Sefer thought even further:

Although the Plantagenet Empire is the most powerful human country in the world, there are two other human empires in the world.

If the royal family is completely destroyed as Landilus planned, the empire will be seriously injured, and the other two empires will inevitably be tempted.

So he came up with the idea of ​​delaying.

As for the last party, Duke Landilus, he was actually stalling for time.

Landilus's first attack plan against the princess failed, but they can still carry out the second one!

The second attack against the princess is already in the works.

It's just that they need enough time to prepare. The longer the princess stays in Maple Leaf City, the more prepared they are.

So the envoy dragged on and didn't come.

All three parties wanted to delay time, so a funny scene appeared at the negotiation table - the negotiation was postponed just after two sentences.

...

Su Yu analyzed it carefully and quickly sorted out the context of the whole incident.

But he was a player after all, and it was useless to analyze these.

This level of intrigue was not something he could participate in, just honestly complete his task.

...

Taking advantage of this hour, Su Yu went to the market to select a batch of high-quality fodder for Tima.

After Tima had eaten and drunk enough, Su Yu rode her to the leveling area to level up.

The level 20-25 leveling area of ​​Maple Leaf City is in the Frost Cliff in the east.

There are very few monsters here, but Su Yu saw an old acquaintance here - a hydra.

[Frost Hydra lv20]

HP: 1750

Attack power: 48

Skills: [Frost Spray], [Ferocious Bite], [Frost Skin (Passive)]

Introduction: The basilisk has multiple heads, a huge mouth, stomping and raging.

In addition to the [Frost Hydra], this area also has [Cliff Hydra lv22] and [Rock Hydra lv23].

The last time he saw a hydra was when he entered Zangarmarsh with Tina.

This made Su Yu admire the survival ability of the hydra clan.

"Hydras can really survive in any conditions! They can survive in the swamp, on the cold cliffs, and there seems to be [Flame Hydra] in the magma. What a strong race!"

Su Yu gave a thumbs up to the hydra in his heart.

But the thumbs up did not affect his leveling.

Su Yu put Tima's horse card back into his backpack, and then began to level up.

After reaching level 20, the monsters in the wild area became extremely sparse, and the overall attributes of the monsters also became higher. Su Yu's leveling speed was not as fast as when he was at a lower level.

But Su Yu didn't care, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat.

Besides, he was not familiar with Maple Leaf City, and there was nothing to do except leveling up.

...

About 40 minutes later, an armored NPC guard rode a horse to the edge of the leveling area.

The guard looked around and soon saw Su Yu who was casting spells at the hydra, and waved his hand hurriedly: "Master Nemesis, it's me, Kelderon!"

The man was Kelderon, the personal guard of the princess. He asked passers-by along the way and finally found Su Yu in the leveling area.

"Oh, it's you!"

After dealing with the multi-headed snake in front of him, Su Yu turned and looked at him: "It's so late, what do you want to talk to me about? Is there also a Lanque Street in Maple Leaf City? Do you want to take me there?"

Su Yu had long admired the Lanque Street in Golden Peacock City, but it was not open to players.

I heard that it was possible to enter with the help of an NPC, so Su Yu asked this question.

"Hey! How is that possible?" Keldron shook his head awkwardly: "We came to Maple Leaf City for business, it's impossible to go to a place for pleasure... Her Royal Highness sent me to find you, she has something important to see you!"

"Oh? Her Royal Highness wants to see me?" Su Yu was a little surprised.

It's 10 o'clock in the evening, and the princess wants to meet him at this time, can't it be...

But thinking that the princess is only 14 years old, Su Yu immediately felt a river crab beast staring at him from behind.

His expression tightened: "Since it is the princess's request, let's set off quickly!"

"Okay, I'll lead the way." Keldron turned his horse's head.

Ten minutes later, Su Yu and Keldron returned to Maple Leaf City and came to the residence where Princess Alijie stayed.

The residence provided by Duke Sefer for the princess was a very large and very beautiful manor.

Although it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, the manor was still brightly lit.

Looking around, there are rare flowers, sculptures, ponds and fountains.

There are also servants and maids of all kinds coming and going in the manor, but these servants and maids should be the eyes planted by Duke Sever here.

After entering the manor, Keldron walked straight to the deepest part of the manor without looking around.

Su Yu naturally followed closely.

In a hall at the deepest part of the manor, Su Yu met Princess Alice again.

At the same time, Su Yu's main storyline was updated again:

"Ding! Your main storyline has been updated! [The Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (13/100)]."

"Task requirements: Understand the thoughts of [Princess Alice] and complete her commission."

"Task reward: Random reward based on task completion."
