Arknights is too real, right?

Xia Feng had more important things to do than having sex with these nobles. Even if he did nothing, he could recharge his batteries.

Recently, wars have broken out in neighboring countries.

According to rumors, Sargon's government is facing a new round of challenges.

The king's distant cousin organized a joint army on the border and planned to remove his cousin from power.

At the same time, Kazdaele has completely fallen and turned into a paradise for mercenaries. The people of Rutlan, who have always been regarded as prey by Sarkaz warriors, have taken up the gun and also joined the whirlpool of chaos.

According to the remarks revealed by General Gleason, Victoria is said to have the intention of intervening.

Of course, Xia Feng didn't know what happened to Kazdale. The only thing he knew was that because of the war, the price of source stones on the black market began to skyrocket.

Governments of various countries have reserve Source Stones in their treasury, but long-term wars also consume huge amounts, and those who need more are various large and small mercenary organizations.

The price of a finished Origin Stone has been raised to 400,000 to 800,000. Of course, even if you add zero, it will still be priceless.

Because of the war, the army gave up its dominance in the natural disaster area, and the natural source stone clusters that grew there were divided up by various forces.

In order to make money quickly, some people will sell the natural source stone clusters at low prices. In the end, after being circulated several times, most of them will return to Black Feather's processing factory.

In order to win the war, some people can only bite the bullet and use the natural Originium Cluster to release Originium skills. If used in the military, the Natural Originium Cluster can easily cause soldiers to contract ore disease.

In this way, the Source Stone was consumed, and at the same time more infected people were born. Local civil strife emerged, which then evolved into a new war, forming an endless vicious cycle.

This is the real terror of the Origin Stone.

Under this international situation, Xia Feng, who holds a huge amount of Origin Stones, remains very calm.

The more times like this, the more he has to calm down. He is not a savior, and he has no ability or obligation to save the people abroad who have been devastated by war. When necessary, he will only save the people he cares about.

On the surface, the price of source stones on the black market has been rising, but in fact, there are many things that are rising that cannot be exchanged for money.

Money? If he sells all the Source Stones in his inventory at the highest price, all he will get is a string of numbers.

But besides money, there was more to what he wanted to exchange for the Origin Stone.

In this world, many countries are in dire straits, but there is only one boundary between them, which is heaven and hell.

Victoria is still peaceful. Although the winter is very cold, the food and homes are enough to warm people's hearts.

Recently, my second uncle who lives in the Kilt neighborhood has experienced the highlight of his life for the first time since his retirement.

Of course, the so-called highlight is just light.

Xia Feng became a noble. The second uncle's neighbors all knew about this. At the same time, they also knew that Xia Feng was Hurd's nephew.

In other words, the second uncle is now a member of a noble family, and he is also an elder. If rounded up, he is also a noble.

In Victoria's aristocratic system, only direct descendants can enjoy aristocratic privileges and inheritance rights, but the aunts and uncles in the Kilt neighborhood don't understand this. In their eyes, the second uncle has become a noble.

The title of chess players changed from Lao He to Master He. Whenever the second uncle passed by, the old men who were playing chess on the roadside would take the initiative to give up their seats, and even pretended to deliberately lose to the second uncle.

In the yard of Hurd's house.

Xia Feng took the Shenyue Knife and chopped a pile of firewood into evenly sized pieces of wood.

"Second uncle, the splitting is finished."

Hurd sat on a small bench in the yard and said tentatively.

"Xia Feng, you are already a noble, is this suitable for chopping firewood?"

Xia Feng patted the dust on his hands.

"What's inappropriate? Even His Majesty the King has to eat. Besides, I'm also exercising my body. See how I'm doing. You can measure it with a ruler. Each one is the same length. My sword technique is called Sad Qiu Liyu, Master Xiao taught me."

Hurd knew that Xia Feng was messing with him, so he just sighed.

"Xia Feng, I'm really happy for you that you have become a noble. However, these neighbors of mine now call me Master He. I'm really not used to it. People always misunderstand me. It's not good. Can you talk to them? Let’s face it, we actually have no blood relationship.”

Obviously, the second uncle is not a vain person, which can be seen from his refusal to move to a big villa.

"Second uncle, it's useless for me to explain. They will see it how they see it. Besides, what's wrong with not being related by blood? You are my second uncle."

"Why"

Xia Feng had an idea.

"By the way, why don't you and your second aunt take this opportunity to move to the villa in the East District? The elders like Kilt won't take you to play with them anyway. If you move to the villa, you won't have to chop wood anymore."

When it came to moving, the second uncle was no longer so resistant, but when he thought of someone, his eyes immediately dimmed.

"It's okay to move. If Hummer comes back, I will move."

Seeing that Xia Feng was silent, the second uncle said seriously.

"Xia Feng, there is no news at all about Hemo. Although this kid often didn't call for several months in the past, this is the first time for such a long time. Tell me the truth. What happened to Hemo? It's almost been a while. years."

Xia Feng immediately showed a relaxed smile.

"No, Hemer is just too busy. She was promoted to the person in charge of the Source Stone project."

"Has she contacted you?"

Xia Feng didn't answer. He picked up the Shenyue Sword and said cheerfully.

"Don't worry, Hemo is fine. In order to help you move to the villa quickly, I will bring Hemo over to you soon."

"You said it, don't lie to me."

"I'm not going to lie to you, I will definitely bring her back."

After saying that, Xia Feng turned around and left the yard of his second uncle's house.

On the way back to the barbecue restaurant, Xia Feng raised his head and looked at the sky.

This sky is the same as that of Colombia, but in another country far away, is someone looking at the same sky?

He lowered his head and glanced at the bracelet on his left hand. It was given to him by Hemo. Just like Hemo said, the quality of this bracelet is very good.

He remembers Hemmer saying, "It won't break even if you break it."

Looking back now, this sentence really comes true. He has become tattered more than once, but this bracelet is not broken despite being scarred. It seems that this is the fruit of Hemo's hard work.

Closing his eyes, the scene when he escaped from the Rhineland was still vivid in his mind. He still remembered the tears that Helmer shed before climbing over the wall.

Unknowingly, almost a year has passed.

Black Feather Grill.

Ifrit quietly stared at Xiao Mo sleeping in the cage and murmured to himself.

"Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo Xiao Mo He Mo"

Shuangxing gently sat down next to Ifrit and asked softly.

"Ifrit, does that owl have any special meaning to you?"

Ifrit came to her senses and muttered.

"No."

"Yeah."

"Well no."

"Then why are you crying?"

"ah?"

Ifrit was stunned, and then she realized that when she was looking at Xiao Mo, tears had flowed down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes without even realizing it.

As a former experimental subject of Rhine Life, this was the first time in her life that she cried for no reason.

It has been nearly a year since I separated from Hermer. The black and white twins have reached the 10th cycle, and we have also gone through a year. This book was released in early June last year. I didn’t deliberately arrange the time, but it just seemed like it happened somehow. It is destined that the flow of time in the book and real time miraculously agree.
