Chapter 213 The Search For Bella
“I really want to kno you turn into Fa’tar Even someone like me who have known him for so many years did not see the difference” asked Andrei after wolfing down the horse etic than before, and when a person was energetic, he or she would do a lot of things With Andrei as an exa that he wanted to do most was to talk to someone It was probably due to the fact that he had been held in captivity for a very long time, and once he was in safety and was able to relax, Andrei started opening up to the next best person He did not even care if the person was a good choice to have a chat with He wanted to talk to someone, and had never kept his mouth shut since then
Ye Ci pursed her lips It was a question she did not want to answer Ye Ci was reluctant to let anyone in on the secret, and Andrei, of course, was not an exception However, she could not afford to treat the NPC as the key to co her quest rudely
After a short moment of silence, Ye Ci smiled at Andrei, “I’ve told you that I’m a merchant, and every merchant has his or her own secrets If I tell you ?”
“Is that so…” although he was unable to learn Ye Ci’s secret, Andrei was not disappointed He nodded at Ye Ci, appearing to be deep in thought
“Andrei, I believe that you’re sos will not be so obsessive about the nificant details Since that is the case, why not let it remain a secret?” Ye Ci spoke up sloith a tone full of pride and dignity, “This is a secret, and I hope that we can keep it that way”
“It’s not such a big deal! Why can’t you just tell h level of intelligence He was unable to grasp the hed inwardly This hy she hated to deal with idiots People like Green Hill’s Moon or Zero Arsenic would definitely understand her ht away She was forced to be even more direct with Andrei
“If that’s the case, I’m sure you don’t mind the world to know about how you’re so weak that you can’t even walk in the Red Lake City prison, and what a weakling you are, alance at Andrei She continued ance, as if she was a well-mannered noble
Andrei’s face iant as Andrei had a weakness They were afraid that their moment of weakness was exposed It was a news that Andrei could never allow Ye Ci to spread
He shook his head and waved his hands, “No no no! You can’t tell anybody about such an e!”
“Like I said, I’m a merchant” Ye Ci looked at Andrei with narrowed eyes, “Why don’t we make a deal?”
“What deal?” Andrei could feel that the fe as well However, Andrei’s feeling did not translate into his thoughts as his attention was already focused on Ye Ci’s proposal
Ye Ci stared at Andrei silently She has given hi, the Andrei was truly an idiot
Fortunately for Ye Ci, Andrei was not a total idiot despite his lower IQ He was initially confused when the Elf stared at hi on my face? He was then hit by a sudden realisation when he relate the things spoken by the Elf together, “Ahh… I get it! You’re saying that if I keep the process of how you rescued me from the prison a secret, you won’t tell anyone about ht? That’s what you were talking about, aht?”
At least this NPC is not beyond help Ye Ci let out a sigh of relief, “You’re right So, ill it be? Are you going to make the deal?”
“Of course! You don’t have to worry about it! I, Andrei, can keep a secret! I’m sure you’ve seen it with your own eyes! I did not even tell Fa’tar a thing despite his tortures I will definitely be able to keep this thing a secret!” Andrei patted his shoulder, trying his best to reassure Ye Ci However, he was still worried about things on Ye Ci’s end, “I’h Can you keep my secret?”
“I’m a merchant, and the ood faith Since I’ve given you ood! That’s good!” Andrei was relieved to hear Ye Ci’s words He then finished off the few reh for Andrei He stared at the large chunk ofover the fire, but was too embarrassed to ask for a portion He could only stare at thelance at Andrei, and invited him to sit next to her to partake in the meal, “Come, it’s almost done”
“I’ll pass You’ve done so much for me I-I’entlemanly manner in front of wonored the protest of his ru sto Andrei to have more of the meat In an open quest like this, the interaction between a player and an NPC would affect the eh the bandits in Silvery Tin Ore was just a branch of the Doran Thieves Guild, being able to become the leader of a branch meant that Andrei was souild
It was very important to flatter and curry favor with such NPCs However, these NPCs have human emotion, if players overdid their atte ain To increase their Intimacy Level with NPCs like such as Andrei, the best option was to fulfill their heart’s desire, and adapt to his taste The atteht backfire on the player
“I’ your stay in the prison Just look at yourself! Millard will be heartbroken if he sees you like this Sometimes, we stay alive not for ourselves, but for the others closest to us That is why you must eat up, for the sake of your brother Besides, this horse is too big for me to finish alone Why don’t you help me out and finish theto Ye Ci’s words, Andrei had no rabbed at his hair and smiled aardly at Ye Ci, “You have a point I’ll help you finish the rabbed a piece of roastedYe Ci with praise, “Elf, although you’re a citizen of Red Lake City, you’re a good person, and you cook good food as well! I think I don’t hate you anymore”
Ye Ci quietly opened Andrei’s status , and looked at her Intier hostile towards Ye Ci, and their relationship was displayed as “Inti down theto raise his level of happiness, she would be able to reach the inti as Ye Ci could becoain many benefits froe systee was one of the e was very hard to earn Even in her past life, Ye Ci was barely able to nae level of “Intimate” with certain factions Those ere able to reach the Prestige level of “Revered” was few and far between
Ye Ci’s past incarnation was very greedy and was very obsessed in gaining fae level of “Intimate” with any factions She could only stare with envy at players who shared their joy in the forue level with a faction
However, the current Ye Ci preferred to enjoy the game She would never let such a precious chance slip by She was detere level with the Doran Thieves Guild, and Andrei was her best chance to achieve such a goal
When Andrei was almost done with his meal, Ye Ci took a rare wine out of her inventory, and toss the bottle at Andrei, “Although you hate the people of Red Lake City, I’in is made by the One-eyed Jack Tavern in Red Lake City I heard that it’s very famous in the Eastern Continent”
“I’m someone who has a clear discri about Red Lake City and its people, I love the wine from Red Lake City” Andrei’s expression was one of pleasant surprise He did not expect Ye Ci to be in possession of the wine He caught the bottle of gin from midair, twisted the lid open, and sniffed at the wonderful aroood wine! I don’t hate it at all! Just like how I don’t hate you!”
As expected, Ye Ci’s gesture gifting the wine to Andrei was able to increase her Inti Sworn Friends with the NPC Unfortunately, such er be effective a second time If a player used the same method in an attempt to increase his or her Intiradually decrease, and the NPCin a loss of Intimacy points
This esture twice She waited for Andrei to have his fill of the etting dark soon, let’s get back when it’s still bright”
“I want to take a nap” Andrei was telling the truth As the saying goes, “a full tuy”, when a person was at ease and has eaten and drank to his or her heart’s content, the urge to fall asleep came easily Andrei was in such a situation, “Why don’t you let me have a nap, and we’ll head back to the hideout later?”
Ye Ci frowned at Andrei She had no ti for this NPC to have a nap! The only thing she wanted to do was to escort Andrei safely back to the bandit hideout and proceed to the next stage of her Epic-tier quest She was not in theelse
However, Ye Ci could not afford to reject Andrei’s request directly She iood idea She sad on the rock that Andrei was leaning against and said to theinto sleep, “We’re in the Silvery Tin Vein, aht here is the best!” there was a smile of content on Andrei’s face His face was full of tranquility as he leaned against the rock, as he was a norroup of bandits
“But… We’re still in Red Lake City’s territory”
“Heh! So what? I don’t care!” Andrei’s eyes remained shut as he snorted It was apparent that he did not care about Red Lake City
“So… You’re tellinghere?” Ye Ci narrowed her eyes at Andrei, at his content expression She felt the urge to beat him up, but she was able to hold herself back
“Of course!”
“No matter what?”
“Hell yeah!” Andrei was very irritated that his sleep was disturbed by Ye Ci, “What are you trying to say, Elf? Stop beating around the bush! You’re disturbing Andrei’s sleep! I’m very tired now! Do you know that I’ve never had a decent sleep ever since I was captured, and was tortured by that dale day? Don’t you think it’s quite unkind for you to disruptto disturb your sleep, but I want to remind you that I rescued you fro his afternoon nap” Ye Ci smiled at Andrei
Andrei open an eye and looked at Ye Ci, “What are you trying to say?”
“What I’ to say is… It’s been quite some times since we escaped from the Red Lake City prison Fa’tar has probably woken up from his nap by now” Ye Ci’s smile remained on her face She was certain that Andrei hated Fa’tar and was very wary of him
As expected, Andrei stared at Ye Ci with both eyes opened, “Fa’tar is awake?”
“I’m sure it’s more than that If he knows that Andrei has escaped fro at Andrei, as if it had nothing to do with her
Andrei iry?”
