Savior Simulator

After hearing what Paul said, Gao Fei's heart moved, and he quickly opened the star disk and checked the task list.

Sure enough, a new side quest appeared: Paul Porter's secret investigation!

The strange thing is that so far, this side quest can only be promoted by Paul alone, and the protagonist can neither intervene nor ask, as if it has nothing to do with him.

"It seems that the time has not come yet." Gao Fei thought.

Based on previous game experience, he predicted that this side plot will develop like this:

Paul investigates Captain Dantes alone, trying to find a breakthrough from this person and find out the mastermind behind the assassination.

In the early stage of the investigation, the progress will be relatively smooth, and when Paul finds the key clues, the plot may take a sharp turn, causing him to fall into the hands of the villain and his life to be in danger.

Only then will the protagonist take over this side quest, try to rescue Paul from trouble, and expose the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Of course, this is just a more clichéd screenwriter's idea.

As for whether the game plot will go according to his prediction or make some unexpected tricks, let's wait and see.

The sea blue capital of Patus is known as the "Pearl on the Bologna Peninsula" and the "Eternal Lighthouse on the Golden Horn".

Compared with another capital that Gao Fei is more familiar with, Avalon, which is also a world-class metropolis, Patus has two most prominent features.

The first is the sunny weather. The blue sky, white clouds and golden beaches provide a beautiful background for this city with millions of residents.

In contrast, the "fog city" Avalon has few sunny days all year round. It is either shrouded in fog or rainy. Most gentlemen who go out wear windbreakers and carry umbrellas. The whole city gives people a gray and depressing feeling.

The second advantage of Patus is that the streets here are very clean. In addition to the hard work of the municipal departments, such as checking whether the cows and horses pulling carts have dung bags hanging behind their buttocks along the streets, the sea breeze blowing along the streets all year round has also made great contributions to the removal of street garbage and dust.

The spacious and clean streets, with snow-white walls and blue roofs on both sides of the streets, make tourists from afar feel particularly refreshed.

The streets of Avalon are also cleaned regularly by sanitation workers, but the biggest source of pollution in this city comes from coal smoke.

There are too many factories around the city. The noise of steam engines and the smoke directly discharged into the air have turned the entire city into a huge workshop, so that the sky is polluted by smoke and presents a strange purple under the sun.

Of course, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds.

Although the coastal city of Patus is neat and beautiful, its modern manufacturing level is far inferior to Avalon, the capital of the Kingdom of Feizhen.

Many precision machines and instruments, including military products, can only be imported from the Kingdom of Feizhen or the Coras Empire, where the magic industry is more developed, so that the Kingdom of Hailan is in a very embarrassing position among the great powers in the Vares world, and is ridiculed as a "second-rate power that bullies the weak and fears the strong."

In addition, building the most important capital of a country on the seashore is not a good thing in the long run.

"Every year during the typhoon season, Patus is affected. Occasionally, the wind and waves are too strong, and the tide rushes over the breakwater, flooding the streets of the entire city, and citizens have to row famous flat-bottomed boats to go out."

Sitting in the carriage to the embassy, ​​Paul introduced the customs and practices of Patus to Gao Fei.

"Until recently, the capital built a protective maze, which completely got rid of the seasonal threats of tsunamis and typhoons."

"In addition to natural disasters, war is also a real threat."

Paul continued.

"A country with its capital on the seashore is certainly convenient in logistics and trade, but it is also more vulnerable to attacks from the sea."

"In the history of the Kingdom of Hailan, it has always been harassed by pirates, and the capital has been captured by the enemy navy twice, and the royal family and ministers had to flee to inland cities overnight."

"In order to avoid the recurrence of such embarrassing events, the Kingdom of Hailan has spent most of its funds on building a navy in recent years, and has built a powerful fleet second only to the Feizhen Navy."

Just as everyone was chatting, the carriage slowly slowed down and stopped in front of the embassy.

Paul got off the car first and showed his ID to the reception staff of the embassy. He was warmly received by the Ambassador who had been waiting for the distinguished guest.

At the lunch table of the embassy, ​​Gao Fei asked the Ambassador about the situation of Queen Bolja and wanted to learn more about his duel opponent Adam Rulph.

Unfortunately, the Ambassador seemed to be hesitant and said some bland diplomatic rhetoric, and failed to provide Gao Fei with any valuable information.

Gao Fei was a little disappointed at first, but after carefully observing the expression and body movements of the Ambassador, he knew what was going on.

Why did the Ambassador keep laughing and saying polite words?

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he doesn't dare to say it.

From his subtle expression, Gao Fei can easily guess that the banquet hall of the embassy is not a safe place where he can speak freely.

In this restaurant, any hidden corner may be equipped with eavesdropping devices, and any waiter may be a spy secretly planted.

Living in such an environment, diplomats must be careful with their words and actions, and they probably dare not even talk in their sleep. One can imagine the mental pressure they are under.

"I don't like the atmosphere of the embassy." After the lunch, Lisa couldn't help complaining, "People here are all pretentious, full of official rhetoric, not sincere at all... Can we find a hotel outside, pay for it ourselves, and live more comfortably."

"My eldest lady, don't be willful!" Claire scolded her unhappily, "We are diplomats. If we don't live in the embassy, ​​where will the face of the ambassador be? What will those tabloid reporters who are always watching our every move think and write?"

"Sister Claire is right. We must adapt to the local customs." Gao Fei comforted Lisa.

Umberto smiled and said to Claire, "I am not used to living in such a place with a strong political smell. Don't you know the art of 'disguise'? Help me put on makeup, and I will take you to the streets to buy some beautiful clothes to wear to the diplomatic ball in the evening. How about it?"

"Yes, yes!" The red-haired girl jumped excitedly.

"Ms. Rosie, it's rare that Mr. Esposito has come to his senses and asked you out for a tryst. You shouldn't reward him with a kiss?"

Paul was grinning and fanning the flames.

Claire blushed and glared at him. She didn't want to pay attention to this troublemaker, but Gao Fei and Lisa were also cheering on her, making her feel a little embarrassed.
