Chapter 47 : Exposing a Dirty Official

I stared at the musician's obliviousness and wondered if he was playing a joke on me. I'm just singing a song and it's a "sacred song"?

 It took the musician a while to calm down, "Sing it again!"

 I had no choice but to sing again. Finally, the musician shouted, "Okay!"

 I looked at him strangely, and the musician said with some excitement, "I've learned this new song, but it seems that you sang it a bit wrong, and the song I learned, the God of Music hinted to me that the name is 'Fairytale Divine Comedy in Variant Tunes'."

 I laughed bitterly, as this was something I came up with in my own head, I couldn't use the singing technique, with my real life singing level, it would be a miracle if I didn't sing out of tune, not to mention that I couldn't quite remember the tune.

 The musician said with regret: "At first, in our academy, we demonstrated a mutilated version: 'Severely Mutilated Fairy Tale Divine Comedy', which is far from being as full as the one you sang, and now this 'Mutilated Fairy Tale Divine Comedy', the grade reaches the third class! It's the highest ranked song I've seen so far!"

 I hemmed and hawed, "Then, you can pass this song to me."

 The musician nodded, "Of course I'll give it to you, but your singing level is poor, singing this song will hurt your voice and the effect won't come out, so you'll only be able to play it when you've practiced it to the Extraordinary level or above. However, if you don't use your singing skills, there's no harm in singing for fun."

 Didn't I sing well just now, and now that it's become a game-approved track, I can't sing it? Also, it's clear that I taught it to the musician, and now the musician has to teach it back to me so I can sing it ...

 After accepting the song honestly, the musician responded to my requests and taught me "tuning techniques", "voice opening techniques", and "qi practicing techniques". However, did not teach me other songs, those are to use money to buy oh, just added that "tune fairy tale", even the price of 100 gold coins.

 I didn't expect that in the store so little work, my singing and playing skills have risen to the first class, I asked curiously: "Is it in front of you to practice skills, experience rises faster?"

 The musician smiled faintly, "These, the player has to figure out on his own." I understood in my heart, isn't this the default, ha, finally I know how to practice skills quickly.

 I walked out of the music hall while secretly deciding, next time I must properly memorize all the songs that Lisa played, oops right, every time a player sleeps, can't they choose to enjoy music and movies? Songs from all over the world are at my disposal, aren't I getting rich?

 

 Wandered over to the sound transmission desk and thought about sending an announcement, telling Lyon and the others to send me a message when they see it. Suddenly, I remembered the last time I sent a message to the Sunset City Lord successfully, so I might as well try it again.

 So I sent the Sunset City Lord the fact that I was embarrassed by the king's messenger and couldn't become a lord, and the system displayed, "The other party has received the message."

 Waiting with anxiety, I didn't hear back for a long time. When I was about to give up, the City Lord sent a message, "One hour later, I'll return to the city to discuss in detail."

 At this time, due to my consignment store items marked lower price, quickly sold out, the bag more 6 gold coins, the bookstore has not yet new books, where should I go?

 I thought of Bill's glasses, why don't I make him a good pair, I found a gem processing room, first I asked the boss to appraise the gems I found in the Eagle's Nest, it cost me a whole 4 gold coins. I was shocked by the appraisal result, the gemstone grade is divided into ten grades, there are actually several sixth grade gems here, each worth 30 gold coins, this pile of gems is worth more than 400 gold coins.

 If I sold all the gems, wouldn't I become a big spender? Although now, due to the fact that more people are exchanging cash for game coins, there are quite a few tens of thousands of gold coins on the game's wealth ranking, however, compared to ordinary people players, I am really very rich!

 However, it can't be sold, I'm well aware that these things will be worth much more when sold to players or made into items. So, just asked the owner to help me choose a gem that could be easily processed into lenses.

 In the end, it was one of the lowest gemstones that was decided upon: glass. Because it was cheap, I asked the boss to make more spares, after all, I didn't know the principle of eyeglasses or how many degrees Bill needed, so I hit a variety of concave and convex lenses, and hit dozens of them, only costing me one gold coin.

 As long as you have taken care of a big business, the attitude of these NPCs will change for the better, coupled with my 12 charms, of course, will not let go of the opportunity to ask for skills with him. The board taught me "Faceting" and "Polishing", plus my stone master taught me "Polishing" which is also applicable to gems, so I sat down in front of the boss and practiced these three skills. So, I sat down in front of the boss and practiced these three skills, and soon, all three skills were upgraded to Primary Level 2.

 Counting the time, the city lord should be back, so I hurriedly ran towards the city lord's residence.

 The City Lord sat in the lobby and looked deeply at me, as if he wanted to see through me, making me apprehensive.

 The city lord suddenly said, ''When your message arrived, the messenger who conveyed the order for you to serve was reporting on you. According to him, the conditions of your posting were not met at all, and you even offered him a bribe, and, refusing to offer a horse to the country, asked His Majesty the King to exile you."

 I sucked in a breath of cold air, as expected, I was accused. It's over, I don't know where I'll be exiled to, is there a poorer place than the Lost Village in the first place?

 The city lord stared at my face and added, "His Majesty the King was just about to agree to his request, when I read the message you gave me, I reported the situation you reflected to His Majesty and wanted him to investigate. His Majesty then ordered the High Priest to ask the God of Heaven for instructions, and was informed of the full story of the incident, and His Majesty believes that you are indeed guilty of these errors."

 I sighed, indeed, this incident, if you look at the surface, bribery, refusal to offer horses, are all my doing, the messenger merely gave me an impression of soliciting a bribe, but never positively blackmailed me, this cunning fellow ...

 "But" the City Lord continued, "According to the God of Heaven, you have triggered the hidden mission: expose the tainted officials ..."

 I let out an ah, hidden mission? Did you hear me right?

 The City Lord then said, "So His Majesty continued to investigate the messenger's past experiences, and finally confirmed that the messenger did indeed have a staggering number of bribe-taking experiences!"

 "His Majesty has confiscated the messenger's family assets and exiled him to a foreign land. You, on the other hand, for your merit in exposing it, according to the quest rewards, you will receive 400 points of merit, 10 points of justice value, and together with your merit in Soaring Eagle Town, you have reached the minimum standard for the granting of a knighthood, and are hereby granted the title of Third Class Quasi-Knight, and the Lost Village is rewarded as your self-governing territory."

 I let out a long breath and watched as the Town Lord personally put the Third Class Quasi-Knight badge on me. I wasn't happy about getting the title and territory, but merely glad that I escaped the false accusation.

 The system prompted, "Player 'Chris' has obtained the first private territory in the game, awarding him 1000 prestige."

 Next, the message receiver suddenly rattled around chaotically, opening it up, it was filled with a flood of messages, "Good boy, awesome!" "How did you do that!" "Big brother, teach me, how can I get the territory." "Boss, I'm XXX of XXX, I'll mix with you from now on, where are you." "Fuck, ahead of me, I'm going to bring people to stomp on your territory!" "Friend, territory transfer? I'm XXX, make me an offer, I'll buy it." ...

 Annoyed to death, I hastily chose "Reject Stranger Messages."

 The city lord then said, "The king already knows that you've become a foreign clan leader, so he ordered you to pay a tribute of 1,000 good horses every month, and there will be special ambassadors to receive them every month, and of course, the king won't treat you poorly."

 My heart was cold, I couldn't escape this one after all, had I known it would be better to agree to the messenger's request, I could send half less.

 If I still don't agree this time, I'm afraid it's not just me, the Sarks will also be suppressed, and the army will come forcibly to plunder the horses.

 I strengthened my spirit and thanked the city lord, but my heart really didn't feel too painful, becoming an official, but also carrying a heavy burden at the same time.

 The city lord suddenly said, "We were urgently recruited to the king's capital for a meeting this time, in fact, it's because of that incident that happened in Soaring Eagle Town, you should know what it is, right?"
