Soul echo

Chapter 299 Competition
"Miss Lieber! Miss Lieber, please wait!"

Just when Zhong Ye and the others were about to leave Le Mans and head to the next city, a staff member of the Adventurer's House hurried out and stopped them.

Hearing the shout, Zhong Ye pulled the harness horse, while Lily pushed open the car door, "What's wrong?"

She was a little puzzled, could it be that someone discovered her identity?
Because she had lived in Le Mans for a while since she was a child, Lily subconsciously thought of this possibility, so she just opened the door and didn't get out of the car.

If someone really found out her identity, she would just close the door and let Zhong Ye drive away - this is enough to show her attitude.

"This, this is your letter!" The staff handed over the letter in his hand.

"letter?"

Lily took the letter, glanced back and forth, then waved to the staff, closed the car door, and sat back in the car.

When Zhong Ye waved the rein and drove away, Lily opened the envelope, and Lilian, who was sitting on the side, turned her head to the other side sensibly, looking at the scene outside the car window.

Taking out a few sheets of letter paper from the thick envelope, Lily browsed word by word with the light coming in from the window. Afterwards, her eyes slowly opened wide, and her lips parted involuntarily.

The sound of paper flipping sounded in the carriage, making it difficult for Lilian to control the thought of turning around.

She was really curious about what was written in those letters.

"...It's Count Marta."

After reading the letter, Lily lowered her eyes wearily and sighed: "Ten years ago, Earl Marta wrote a will under the notarization of the clergy of the Commercial Church. After his death, 80.00% of the estate will be handed over to me. With Bellamy and the others, the remaining properties and artworks will be donated unconditionally to the Church of Art and Beauty to build schools and train more artists..."

Originally, Lily didn't feel any sadness about the death of Earl Marta, at most her mood was a bit complicated.

But now, after reading this letter, her emotions suddenly surged.

Although these letters were just the Church of Commerce explaining the matter to her, they didn't include the letters that Count Marta left for her—in fact, Count Marta didn't leave any letters.

He didn't seem to intend to explain his problems, and wanted to take this secret into the grave.

However, Lily felt Earl Marta's sadness from these words, and she closed her eyes, as if she could touch the heart of her distant relative.

She didn't know what happened to Earl Marta at all. If Zhong Ye hadn't explained his guess to them, she might still feel puzzled when she read these letters.

Earl Marta knew that he was cursed a long time ago, so he was not married and had no children, but he did not want to commit suicide, which started a decades-long tug-of-war.

He has endured decades of torment and suffering, and has not succumbed to the curse, but he fell short not long ago...

I have been working hard to live, trying to control myself not to hurt the world.

Has been misunderstood, not understood by anyone... Her grandfather may know something, but he didn't tell them about it, maybe Count Marta asked for it himself!
It wasn't until this letter came into Lily's hands that she realized that Earl Marta might like the four sisters very much, but because of the curse on her body, that intimacy was always buried in her heart and she never said it out loud.

How lonely, how sad...

The letter stated that the Commercial Church is counting Count Marta's estate, which may take some time, so a property statistics sheet will be sent to her after a while, and she can decide how to dispose of the estate at that time .

Although Earl Marta sold most of his property, he was still an earl after all, and the rest was used to make money with money, and there were still a lot of assets to buy artworks. After all, Lily would definitely get a lot of money.

But she is not happy at all now, looking out of the window melancholy, looking at the scenery of the city, and suddenly said: "I may never come here again."

Her childhood was also buried here, and the city of Le Mans brought her nothing but sadness from beginning to end.

Zhong Ye and Lilian didn't comment on Lily's exclamation.

The carriage drove unhurriedly, and the three people, each with their own thoughts, left Le Mans in silence.

"Professional game?"

Qi Jingshu, who was sitting on the sofa browsing the forum information, couldn't help turning her head when she heard the voice in the group chat.

"Yes, yes, Jingshu, don't you have a regular team? Because the combat system of "Echo of Soul" is a bit different from other games, in order to better present the fun of the game to the audience and bring a better feeling Look, so Illusion Company decided to set up two competition areas, one for professional players and one for ordinary players, and now the audition is about to start, aren't you going to sign up?"

The battle system of "Echo of Soul" is doomed that professional players are not necessarily the most powerful players in the game, because the system recognizes the skills that players have learned in reality, which also means that some fighters may be stronger than professional players. Be great.

If it was Zhong Ye...

Qi Jingshu shook her head to get rid of her messy thoughts.

"It requires asking other people's opinions, personally, I don't really want to play."

Her real identity is a doctor. Although with the development of science and technology, many diseases can be cured by medical robots, but artificial intelligence is sometimes so rigid that doctors still need to be on the sidelines.

Qi Jingshu is actually not busy, but rather than participating in the competition, she wants to watch Lilian's live broadcast of Zhong Ye's daily life.

The more she watched Lilian's live broadcast, the more she felt that the Zhong Ye in the game was similar to the real Zhong Ye, almost a replica of Zhong Ye.

Some time ago, she also did a test for herself. Surprisingly, the test result was 'normal', which made her extremely puzzling.

——Obviously she is more and more interested in Zhong Ye in the game, why the test result still shows 'normal'?
"Don't be like this... By the way, didn't you say you want to go to Westland?"

Hearing this, Qi Jingshu sat up straight, "Do you know how to get there?"

"Look at the forum, someone should be discussing the issue of game rewards now."

Hearing this, Qi Jingshu hurriedly returned to the homepage of the forum and saw many posts discussing the game.

A quick scan of the posts revealed several that discussed contest rewards.

The top 3 players in individual competitions, team competitions, and special skill competitions will get an enchanted weapon, the top [-] will get an additional skill or trait related to the main profession, and the top [-] players will get an early access to 'Chapter [-]' Opportunity to experience...

This is the reward in the game. In reality, there are also physical rewards. The No.1 prize money in the three competitions is as high as tens of millions.

But Qi Jingshu doesn't care about physical rewards, she cares more about the opportunity to experience 'Chapter 3' in advance.

[In the second year of Deshi, the emperor summoned the world's master craftsmen to the royal court, and concluded that he spent tens of millions of gold and issued orders to the people of the world to build a large building by the Bohai Sea. 】

[...The third of the four master craftsmen in the world, fifty master craftsmen, hundreds of craftsmen, and countless people went to Haizhou together. It took 13 years and the 'phantom' was completed. 】

This is a screenshot of the original text posted by a certain player, and according to the locals in Haizhou and the craftsmen who personally participated in the construction of the 'Mirage', the 'Mirage' is an extremely huge ship.

Every ship in Dongtu is the maritime territory of the Huang Empire, and since that is the case, so must the mirage.

Unlike Xilu, Dongtu has mastered a teleportation circle, which is convenient for the masters who usually guard the inland to go to the border to block the incoming strong.

The basis of this teleportation circle is a very illusory thing-'National Luck'.

Of course, it sounds mysterious, but it is actually the collective unconsciousness of human beings.

People in the East don't believe in gods very much, and their beliefs point to their own civilization. Therefore, the power of their beliefs is condensed into the "National Fortune".

If the emperor is tyrannical and tyrannical, and the people are fish and meat, it is running counter to the destiny of the country, and the country will soon decline, and then the dynasty will change.

With the support of the national fortune, the new dynasty will soon enter a period of prosperity, and there is no need to worry about being unable to stop the northern abyssal forces from invading the Central Plains.

Ordinary sea ships cannot bear the teleportation using 'National Transport', this is because there are not many people on the sea ships and cannot gather National Transports.

However, the 'mirage' is different!
The size of the mirage is indescribable.

There is soil and water on this giant ship, it can farm, and it can naturally live.

According to the craftsman, tens of thousands of people boarded the ship after the mirage was completed.

With such a large number of people, it is enough to condense the movement abroad.

In other words, the big ship Mirage can be used as a teleportation point!
I just don't know when the mirage will reach the west land...
