At night.
Three light blue moons hung high in the sky.
The world that William lived in was too big. That was why so many large satellites were needed to reduce the gravity.
It was a rare sight to see three moons hanging in the night sky at the same time. It was worthy of many people going out to celebrate.
The bright moonlight and magic lamps illuminated the entire City of Dawn. Not to mention the size of the city, in terms of aesthetics, it was definitely better than many human capital cities. It was just that it could not be compared to the King's palace.
At this moment, many animals and races on the grassland lifted their heads to look at the city on the cliff.
The Rainbow River that flowed through the City of Dawn had been widened. While the city was being planned, many branches of the river were dug out so that the river would spread throughout the entire city. Finally, the river would converge and flow down the cliff.
Of course.
Only the main branch of the Rainbow River was the true center of the city.
A pavilion was built on the river at the southernmost end of the square. From there, one could quietly admire the northern wilderness.
As the cliff was the wall of the City of Dawn, William did not intend to build a city wall at the edge of the cliff.
He sat in the pavilion and drank fruit wine. There was no one around him except for some children who were secretly looking at this respectable Lord.
Some girls blushed and secretly looked at him. They could not help but think of him as their dream lover. When they could not sleep at night, they would even do something to him …
William looked at the commoners in the square. They were all laughing, dancing, drinking, and singing near the fountain in the center.
He smiled and finished the cup in one gulp.
Footsteps were heard.
William did not turn back.
Lautner sighed. "My Lord, do you want to see your mother?"
"Why?"
"But you don't know that your mother …"
"Stop talking nonsense. Speak." William turned his head, and his gaze became cold. He had very complicated feelings for this strange mother. He did not know much about kinship, but he had inherited this identity and this feeling. He had to preserve it.
If something happened to this mother, William really did not know what he would do.
"My Lord, after I brought back the Life Potion, many princes suggested to the Elfin King … Ahem, the Blackleaf King finally gave an order. From then on, Princess Alice is not allowed to see you or provide you with anything. In short, nothing is acceptable. "Lautner enunciated each and every word clearly.
Finished.
Lotner looked like he was about to collapse.
He couldn't even imagine if William, who was only 16 and a half years old, would have a mental breakdown after hearing this. Would he be filled with despair and sadness towards the Blackleaf Elves?
Because no matter how wrong the child in front of him was.
But it was not William's fault that he had Half-Elven bloodline. The Elven princes of the Dark Night City had gone overboard …
However …
In front of him, William was expressionless. He was still the high and mighty Lord from before. He did not waver in the slightest.
After a long time.
William laughed self-deprecatingly. "You're really heartless. If that's the case, won't my suggestion to go to the Dark Night City be invalid?"
"This …" Lautner was speechless. He could not refute William in the conference hall, nor could he explain himself.
If outsiders knew about this, it would greatly shake the lord's prestige.
Lautner only regretted not telling William the truth earlier. Perhaps he had always treated William as a child, gradually forgetting that he was already a mature Lord.
"You can leave. Let me think about it myself." William waved his hand tiredly. He leaned his back against the cold black stone pillar, his thoughts drifting far away.
"Where can I obtain the blueprints to build a ship? There's the coastal city, the important city of the East Sea, the three empires, and the Dwarfs near the sea … Oh, who else? "William rubbed his head.
Since he could not go to the Dark Night City, he had to think of other ways.
There would always be a way out. This was what he always believed in.
If he did not find a way out, he would only blame himself. That was something that only a good-for-nothing would do.
He thought of some cities, but these cities or powers had exceeded the territory of version 1.0.
It was fine if William went to the Dark Night City. No matter what, his safety was guaranteed. But if he went to other places, it was not certain …
If he really met some bad-tempered brothers, he could dig a hole and bury himself in the ground.
"In version 1.0, not to mention the landlocked Iron Nation, even the Black Lava Nation, which was slightly closer to the East Sea, did not develop its maritime industry. Although the game was realistic, I really did not know anything about shipbuilding. It would be more like if I could build a small boat …" William felt a headache.
However.
He pretended to be dumb.
Even if he had tears in his eyes, he had to pretend to the end.
Otherwise, where would the dignity of a Lord be?
If he did not take back the ship blueprint, how would his other brothers look at him?
Moreover, he had to be ahead of the others. Developing the maritime industry in advance was very important for future development. After all, the future was the sea of stars … No, it was to draw the stars down …
William stood up and frowned as he looked in all directions. The memories of his previous life kept appearing. He did not know how much time had passed until the commoners in the square had dispersed and gone home to rest.
His gaze once again looked towards the west of the Blackleaf forest.
He was not looking at the Dark Night City.
He was looking at the Blue Moon Town.
"Among the three big Elven nations, it is not said that only the Blackleaf Elves have this kind of shipbuilding technology. Although the Moonlight Elves are on the central island of the legendary continent, there is a boundless lake outside the Moonlight Island. The area of the lake is not smaller than the Mediterranean Sea on Earth. Moreover, the Moonlight Elves have also inherited the ancient heritage. The shipbuilding technology that they have is definitely not a small matter. "
William gradually narrowed his eyes. The shipbuilding technology of the Moonlight Elves was definitely not that easy to obtain. What he had to do next was …
Lick …
There was no other way.
He could only lick the Princess of the Moonlight Elves. Only then would he have a good impression of her.
"I never thought that there would be a day when I would be a bootlicker …" William felt a little pain in his heart. Fortunately, he still had the qualifications to be a bootlicker for the Princess. Other people did not even have the qualifications.
Thinking of this, he felt much more comfortable. He even felt a sense of superiority.
"Oh, my friendship level with her is only 30 points now?" William touched his chin. He had only met Princess Angel once and their relationship was not very friendly. He had obtained these good impression points in the past six months at the Mithril Exchange.
This Princess, who treated him like a little fairy, was not only arrogant but also very difficult to please.
There was another problem.
This little fairy liked vulgar objects!
That was, mithril, adamantine, gems and all kinds of shiny and valuable things.
According to Little Fairy's words, she wanted to use these things to decorate her house. In other words, she wanted to decorate the tree that stretched as far as the eye could see.
William could not imagine how luxurious Annie's bedroom was. He really wanted to sleep there for a night …
Women and Dragons really had a common hobby. There was no doubt about this.
"But it is not enough to gain a good impression by just licking people. I have the unique endowment of licking people, but … it is too slow. This does not meet my expectations." William raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to the south again.
"It's time to find a new mineral vein. Then … let's use it. It's expensive and dazzling. I don't believe that we can't farm this little princess. When the time comes, I'll let Annie go to her father and ask for the ship blueprint." William laughed and licked his lips.
