Be a top social animal in another world

Seeing that Alfie did not reach out to take the gift in his hand, Duke Barton couldn't help asking softly, "Do you not like it?"

Alfie was about to deny it, but before he could say it, the blond son threw himself onto him from behind with a box in his arms.

"Alfie, you are indeed here!" Nia put her arms around Alfie's neck and said with a smile.

Under the apple tree in the back garden of the church is where Alfie often stays, and Nia often comes here to look for Alfie.

Duke Barton looked at Nia who suddenly rushed out to interrupt all this and couldn't help but frowned slightly, then lowered his eyes slightly, hiding all the darkness.

"Why are you here?" Alfie asked after putting Nia off his body.

"I met someone who gave you something on the road, and said it was Queen Little's birthday present for you, so I delivered it to you myself." Nia put the box in front of Alfie and said.

The blond boy smiled all over his face, tapped the wooden box in front of him lightly with his fingers, and said, "It's hard for her to remember to give you a birthday present."

This gift was chosen by Xie Zhi himself, and Ekaterina sent it through the magic circle specially, in order to catch up with Alfie's birthday.

At this moment, the corners of Duke Barton's mouth couldn't help being flattened. He looked at the box in Nia's hand and felt that it was an eyesore.

"Quickly open it and have a look, that woman has always been generous, so what she gave you must be very valuable." Nia said.

In order to bribe him, Queen Little gave him a crown made of deep sea pearls, worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but it was a pity that Alfie took it away and sent it to the God of Light.

Thinking of this, Nia became very angry.Damn Alfie, forget about being honest, how can you ask others to be as unmoved by external things as you are.

Alfie nodded, reached out and opened the wooden box, which contained two boxes, one slightly smaller and the other slightly larger.

Alfie opened the small box, which contained a fiery red gemstone. The pigeon blood-like gemstone was inlaid on a silver base, and then connected to a black belt.The whole ornament is cold and colorful, and the alchemist's magic circle is engraved on it.

"This is really a big deal." Niah clicked her tongue. The pigeon's blood red gemstone alone is priceless. I am afraid that only the pigeon's blood ruby ​​on the crown worn by the queen when she was crowned can compare with the one in front of her. The magic circle carved by the magician can pull Alfie away from a dangerous place, which is simply priceless.

Alfie couldn't help but smile when he looked at the ruby ​​necklace in front of him. The Queen was indeed very kind to him, but...

The aesthetics of accessories are also too empress. Alfie usually only wears plain clothes, and brooches and cuffs try to choose cool colors. Such a ruby ​​like pigeon blood can set off his appearance more beautifully. But after all, it doesn't deserve it.

Thinking of this, Alfie wanted to reach out and close the box.

But Nia stopped him, took out the ruby ​​necklace from the box, and said, "There is no one who doesn't wear new things in his life."

After the words fell, Nia put on this necklace for Alfie involuntarily.

A ruby ​​like pigeon blood fell on Alfie's collarbone, making his skin fairer, and the black strap made his neck elegant and slender.

But the Duke of Barton on the side looked at the scene in front of him and felt that it was an eyesore. Whether it was the ruby ​​on Alfie's neck, or Nia who was close to Alfie and gave Alfie a necklace, he felt it was an eyesore, as if it was his own. It's like being colored by others.

Thinking of this, the silver leaf in Duke Barton's hand was crushed by him.

"There is still a box, open it quickly." Nia said with a smile.

Hearing this, Alfie reached out and opened another box, which contained black rice balls. The rice grains looked plump and the color was bright. Apart from the ugly color, it was considered good rice.

"It's strange, how could that woman give you such a thing?" Nia couldn't help but said.

A priceless necklace paired with black rice balls looks weird no matter how you look at it.

"Maybe it's a new dessert from Little Palace." Alfie defended the queen.

"Then you eat and watch." Nia looked at Alfie expectantly and said.

"Okay." Alfie reached out and gently put the rice ball, which was no bigger than a thumb, into his mouth.

The next moment, he was stiff all over.If Alfie's etiquette and upbringing hadn't restrained him, he really wanted to spit it out.

This thing is bitter, astringent, and hard to chew.

"Is it delicious?" Nia asked.

Alfie nodded with difficulty, then smiled and said, "You can try it too."

After finishing speaking, Alfie picked up a small rice ball and handed it to Nia, then looked at the third person present and said, "Does the Duke want to try it too?"

The black rice was handed over by Alfie with both hands. Duke Barton looked at the scene in front of him and hated that the person Alfie pinched the rice ball was not himself, but he still reached out and pinched a piece of black rice ball.

"I'll try." Duke Barton smiled, and then elegantly put the black rice ball into his mouth.

The next moment, the three well-mannered people smiled and cursed in their hearts at the same time.

"This smell is very special." Duke Barton said after a moment of silence, "I remembered that the contents of the books sorted out yesterday were not picked up, so I left first."

After turning around, Duke Barton looked back at Alfie and said, "Since you don't like the gift just now, then another day you can find another one that you like."

After the words fell, Duke Barton's back disappeared around the corner.

Nia on the side frowned and said: "I remembered that His Majesty the Pope still has something to do with me, so I will leave first."

He's going to spit out this damn thing right now, and find water to rinse his mouth!

After the voice fell, Nia rushed out.

At this point, Alfie was the only one left under the apple tree.

After swallowing the bitter and unpalatable rice ball, Alfie took out a letter from the bottom of the box.

The beautiful cursive characters on the letter gave Alfie a sense of familiarity. This was not written by the Queen, Alfie was sure.However, the tone of the letter was very similar to that of the queen, and he guessed that it was written by the butler next to her majesty.

In this letter, Xie Zhi warned Alfie a lot. The church has become untrustworthy, and may even stand on the opposite side of the gods. He told Alfie not to act rashly. The necklace he sent was to ensure Alfie’s safety, and Explain that if something happens, you can ask Moros' henchman for help.

In addition, Xie Zhi also mentioned the output of black rice in the letter, and asked Alfie narrowly how it tasted.

Sure enough, it was not meaningless for the empress to give him the black rice. This kind of output does not know how many people can be fed. After the promotion, no one should die of hunger again.

After Alfie read the letter, he gently lifted the letter paper. In an instant, the frost froze the letter paper, and then shattered the letter paper into powder in an instant.

Then, Alfie silently ate the remaining black rice balls.

"It's really unpalatable." Alfie said while clutching his stomach.

After a while he wrote to the queen, asking her for some seeds to personally improve the taste of black rice.

Although the output of these black rice can feed a lot of low-level working people, and those people just need to eat enough and don't care about the taste of the food, but Alfie feels that he still needs to do something to make these people live better .

If it was Queen Little, she would probably do the same.

On the other side, Xie Zhi sneezed, and Senna on the side quickly put a heavy cloak on Xie Zhi.

"It's so hot!" Xie Zhi complained.

The current temperature has not dropped to the point where you need to wear such a thick cloak. It seems that there is a kind of cold called boyfriend thinks you are cold.

"Your body is no better than before." Senna said coldly.

Since Xie Zhi's abdomen was pierced, his body has been incomparable to before. He used to be able to circle around the pillar with the duchess in the castle for more than half an hour. Now let him do it, and he will definitely lie down Don't want to get up on the ground.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Xie Zhi said.

Then, Xie Zhi looked at Catherine, who was watching her heart, and said, "After the banquet, has the news spread out?"

Catherine replied: "It has all spread, and now everyone in the royal city is discussing the matter of boiling water."

"And the surrounding villages and towns are also talking about it. After today, Lord Chris will arrange for merchants and those warriors to bring this matter to every corner of Little."

"Then are they willing to boil water for drinking?" Xie Zhi continued to ask.

"Eighty percent are willing." Catherine said.

Xie Zhi nodded, [-]% is already a lot, and there are still people in the city who are dying, so we cannot force them to drink boiled water.

In order to allow everyone to drink boiled water, the price of coal can only be suppressed.

"Distribute some of the business orders brought back from abroad to those nobles, and tell them that after the agreement is signed, they can fight for business by themselves, and don't rely on me for everything." Xie Zhi said.

At that time, the increase in orders will inevitably increase productivity, and then the demand for coal will increase. In order to keep costs down, coal prices will only drop.

"Then how about raising a cat?" Xie Zhi continued to ask.

"Basically, the warriors summoned by His Majesty each have a cat, and anyone in the city who has spare money is ready to raise one." Catherine replied.

"That's fine." Xie Zhi said.

It is impossible for everyone in the city to keep cats, only some residents can.

Then Xie Zhi asked some more questions, and Catherine left after answering them one by one.

After Catherine left, Moros, who was serving as Minister of Internal Affairs, walked into the queen's study with a serious expression.

After finishing the salute, Moros said, "People from the Sovereign Society of the church will come to Wangcheng in a few days."

"What are you here for?" Xie Zhi narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I heard that I came to read the classics kept in the Holy Light Cathedral." Moros replied, "Some churches with a history, the Sovereign Society has sent people there."

Xie Zhi frowned upon hearing this: "Read classics? Is there a shortage of books in the Holy See headquarters?"

Xie Zhi didn't understand. The church headquarters has all the religious books, so why come here to read the books? It can't be that the "Book of Genesis" is different in each country.

"I'm afraid they want to come here to make trouble, so keep an eye on them."

"Yes." Moros said.

At the same time, Xie Zhi released the game mission: Tracking the Institute of Philosophy.

The players woke up when they heard the reminder of the mission, ah!How long had it been since they had seen the main mission?

Players are excited, someone is going to be unlucky.
