Chapter 242 Mo Cheng has few friends...
What is the most annoying situation for SKIP players?
Then the top three are definitely: I skipped all the clues in the cutscene, and you want me to decipher it?
If it was a combat mission, Mo Cheng would not even consider it. Even if he was fighting a group of eighth-level warriors, he would just charge forward after replenishing supplies.
But if he were to decrypt it...
This is definitely a hard job.
Mo Cheng wanted to refuse directly, but after looking at the thick stack of information in his hand, he changed his mind and said, "I don't know much about collecting clues and solving cases, but I can contact Seranis and get relevant information from her."
Margaret looked quite haggard, and it was obvious that she had been so busy recently that even she could not handle it.
During the [collapse incident], she was needed to command the law enforcement team to maintain public order. After the sinking area and the civilian area returned to Fairhaven, Margaret was also responsible for the review of the sinking area and the cleanup of the gangs.
As for the complicated tasks on weekdays, let alone, in fact, Mo Cheng already doubted whether Margaret had three hours of rest time every day.
So even though he was not very willing, Mo Cheng still accepted the request Margaret, who had helped him a lot along the way, was definitely one of them.
And as time went by, Mo Cheng knew that Margaret had probably discovered that something was wrong with her, whether it was a problem with her identity or the strangeness of the killing of Ichikijir that day.
But Margaret didn't say anything, as if nothing had happened.
In this case, Mo Cheng is also happy to do something for his friend.
Anyway, he is really free at this time.
Seeing that Mo Cheng agreed to help, Margaret didn't say anything, but mentioned another thing, "By the way, don't go far away recently. The palace is going to confer a title on you."
"Knighted? What title?"
Mo Cheng was not surprised that the Aundair royal family intended to grant him a title.
First, he blocked Archbishop Alfonso's attack, preventing Princess Mishas' death, and at the same time brought Princess Mishas, who fell into the space turbulence, back to Fairhaven safely.
Not only did he see through Ichkiel's plan and protect Fairhaven's safety, he also killed the deputy director of the Inquisition.
Even the prototype of the [Earth Vibrator], which theoretically belonged to him as a trophy, was transferred out by Mo Cheng.
With so many contributions added up, if Queen Aundair has no intention of granting him a title, then she will not be able to remain queen for long.
Whether Mo Cheng wants the title is his business, and whether Queen Andel gives it to him is a matter of attitude. Not to mention that if one works hard to make contributions but doesn't even get corresponding rewards, then who would work hard for Queen Andel in the future?
"I don't know about this either. It seems that the discussion is still going on in the palace. They also asked me to tell them that they know you hold a position here."
Margaret brewed two cups of black tea and handed one to Mo Cheng. "The royal etiquette officer will prepare the clothes, scepter, ritual vessels and other things in advance, and teach you what to do before the investiture ceremony."
It is obvious that the royal family of Aundair is already familiar with the investiture ceremony. After all, the current queen likes to promote capable people.
"I see."
Mo Cheng didn't have any special opinion on this. Having a title was better than having nothing. Even a noble with only a nominal title had many good rights.
He didn't have any great demand for the title. After all, the improvement of his own abilities didn't depend on it. Mo Cheng always had the mentality that if he had the title, it would be the best, but if he didn't have it, he could get by.
After all, he knew best what kind of person he was. Governing, developing the territory, establishing a family, and even building good relationships with other nobles, Mo Cheng could not say that he could not do the above things, but he could only say that he simply did not have the ability to do so.
As for Mo Cheng's identity as a member of the Glorious Church, it does not conflict with his title.
As a priest of the Glorious Church, he naturally needs to give up his secular status, but that is an official member of the Glorious Church, and Mo Cheng is not.
Strictly speaking, Mo Cheng is just a member of the Lickers, a subordinate order of the Church of Light. If the priests of the Church of Light are formal employees, then Mo Cheng is at most a temporary worker, and even his salary is not paid by an accountant, but directly transferred through his mobile phone.
"What are your plans lately?"
Margaret could tell at a glance that Mo Cheng had nothing to do recently and was just daydreaming and idle. "If you have nothing to do, how about going on patrol with me?"
"Patrol? No problem. But if we're talking about things, there is one thing."
Mo Cheng took off his glasses and pressed the bridge of his nose. "In the near future, I should go to see Archmage Muzel."
"Do you want to go back to that historical moment again?"
Margaret frowned. She understood Mo Cheng's thoughts and felt puzzled as to why he wanted to return to that chaotic and dangerous period of history.
"Well, there are some things that need to be dealt with back home."
After all, Mo Cheng's path to improving his strength is very clear, killing or clearing dungeons. And the "Mad King's Rebellion" dungeon is undoubtedly the place where Mo Cheng has the most benefits so far.
Experience, props, gold skill points, and even decorations.
Each one is closely related to Mo Cheng's strength. When there is no more source of [Copy], Mo Cheng will never give up any opportunity to enter [Copy] to upgrade.
With his current strength, Mo Cheng felt that he could try to enter a second time and continue to challenge the war that destroyed the entire empire.
"In that case." Margaret pondered for a moment, then said, "Then I'll go with you after I finish my work in a few days."
"You want to come too?"
"I also have this ring on my hand. If we go together, we can look after each other. And..."
Margaret smiled, but that smile made Mo Cheng feel a chill on his back. "Aunt Wendisa and I have some questions to discuss about literary creation."
Looking at Margaret's clenched fists, Mo Cheng wisely did not ask why.
Wendisa's eccentric personality and what she wrote are probably in great conflict with Margaret's personality.
"Then let's wait a few days, and then we can go to the historical fragment together."
The two agreed on a time. Margaret needed some time to arrange the law enforcement team's affairs, and Mo Cheng also needed time to wait for the system to be updated.
He glanced at the progress bar and estimated that he would be able to finish the race in a few days.
