From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

Vivian paid Tian Yu five hundred gold coins as agreed, and even gave him a lot of extra clothes and scrolls, which made her overjoyed.

"This is the best deal I've ever made," Tian Yu exclaimed.

"I will take you to eat a lot of delicious food in the future, and also take you to buy weapons. I have seen a very sharp knight's sword in my father's collection. I will ask him to give you the sword in a few days..."

Vivian was planning how to spend the rest of her time with Tian Yu, but Tian Yu heard something else: perhaps she wanted to keep him by her side.

Looking at the excited Vivian, Tian Yu was embarrassed to tell her his thoughts for a moment.

That night, Tian Yu, who was supposed to stay in the guest room, slept in the same bed with Vivian at her strong request.

Vivian talked to her excitedly in bed until almost dawn.

On the morning of the next day, Tian Yu, who was still thinking about how to say goodbye, received news that the Duke wanted to summon her.

The butler led Tian Yu to the Duke's study. Tian Yu had a hunch that this conversation would be of some importance.

The Duke's face resembles that of Vivian, and he looks extremely serious when he is silent. His golden hair shows his noble status. Time has left traces on his face, but one can still see how handsome he was when he was young.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Duke." Tian Yu saluted as a knight.

The Duke put down the book in his hand behind the desk and motioned Tian Yu to sit down. The seat prepared for her was opposite the Duke.

"Vivian has been mentioning you these days. It seems that you are a very important friend to her." The Duke spoke, with the majesty of a superior in his voice.

"I met her near the deep mountains. The experiences some time ago may have made her somewhat dependent on me." Tian Yu thought for a moment and answered.

"Don't be nervous. I also think you are a trustworthy friend. I have learned about your return to Silvermoon City."

As expected, an unidentified knight appeared next to his daughter. I'm afraid he has dug up all his secrets in the past few days.

"I sent a letter to the Tower of Light," the Duke said frankly.

"Is my teacher okay?" Tian Yu asked.

"You're in good health. He praised you as the most talented student he's ever taught, but you didn't seem to want to stay there, so you chose to leave."

Unwilling? Tian Yu's brain started to work rapidly. This was different from what he remembered. It seemed that there must be something fishy behind this matter.

"Yes, I always believe that a knight should go out and walk before deciding what to protect." Tian Yu said without hesitation.

"A very original and noble idea." The Duke smiled.

"Anna, actually I want to discuss Vivian with you. What do you think of her?" The Duke finally mentioned the purpose of this meeting.

"I think she's a kind, honest, beautiful, honest lady, and overall, she's been very well educated."

The Duke smiled and said, "I would rather hear your true thoughts. Don't be nervous. When you walk out of this door, no one else will know what happened today, and I will not do anything bad to you."

Tian Yu weighed the options in his mind and spoke cautiously, "I think she might be in danger?"

The Duke motioned her to continue.

"From what we've encountered along the way, it seems that someone doesn't want her to return to Silvermoon City, and you are working to balance the power of that person. So apart from the killer and the team that escorted Vivian at the beginning, no one else is involved in this matter." Tian Yu expressed his analysis.

"My arrival was unexpected, but when I met Vivian, you must have known our whereabouts. I took over the dead team and became the new check and balance."

"As long as I am weak enough, there won't be any powerful killers or other forces showing up. This was your original plan."

"But new killers appeared. They chased me from behind. They were not from Silvermoon City. They even killed adventurers who received bounties on Vivian. But they didn't look like hired guns, but more like assassins. In other words, when we were about to reach Silvermoon City, new pieces appeared in the game."

"We were doomed to die. Perhaps you had a backup plan to ensure Vivian's safety, but it was not used because my strength was restored."

"But anyway, this shows one thing, you have made a lot of enemies, and you don't want to see war happen."

……

"As for Vivian, she was a kind person, but she seemed unable to make decisions. I couldn't understand why someone wanted to kill her, but I understood it when I was thrown into prison."

"Vivian does not represent the Duke's Mansion, she represents the Seeking Knowledge Highlands. Killing Vivian is a check and balance, and also a signal. It can deter the Seeking Knowledge Highlands and let you understand their determination."

"What your opponent fears is the alliance between Duke Silver Moon and Seeking Knowledge Highlands."

Tian Yu raised his head and looked directly into the Duke's eyes.

The other person slowly raised his hand and applauded her: "You are very smart."

"Then let's talk about you."

When the meeting ended that day it was already evening, and Tian Yu felt relieved when he walked out of the study.

Vivian had been waiting in the restaurant for a long time. When she saw Tian Yu come in, she immediately ordered the dishes to be served.

"Did your father make things difficult for you, Anna?" Vivian asked worriedly.

"No, he's a very nice guy."

Vivian didn't ask about the content of their conversation, but after waiting for the meal, Tian Yu still spoke out his thoughts.

"I think maybe I should leave Vivian."

"Where do you want to go? We can go tomorrow." Vivian said excitedly.

"I mean, leave the Duke's Mansion."

"Of course! But I need to ask my father and mother..." Vivian began to react.

"You mean, you don't want to be with me?" Her expression had changed.

"No, you are my friend, of course I want to stay with you, but I have a lot of things to do."

"I understand..." Vivian felt a little disappointed. She originally hoped that Tian Yu would stay in the Duke's Mansion and accompany her forever, but this idea might be a little selfish.

……

The next day, Tian Yu was about to leave the Duke's Mansion. The other party held her hand reluctantly and asked, "Will you come to see me again?"

"Of course!" Tian Yu nodded vigorously.

Weiwei put a token into Tian Yu's hand: "With this, you can come to the Duke's Mansion at any time."

Tian Yu got on the carriage he came in and said goodbye to Vivian.

The upper city was mostly residential and mansions, so she planned to take a carriage to the central city.

Looking at the scenery along the roadside, Tian Yu had her own plan in mind. In her safe house, there were not only a large number of gold coins and scrolls, but also a sharp knight's sword, which was a gift from the Duke of Silver Moon. In addition, there was a batch of documents that were indistinguishable from the real ones, or they could be said to be real documents, because they also came from the Duke of Silver Moon.

She recalled the request the ruler had made to her yesterday.

"I would like to ask you to help Vivian when I can't protect her."

Tian Yu didn't know why Duke Silver Moon made such a request. After all, she was just a small shrimp in this world. How could she help Vivian?

When Duke Silver Moon made such a request to Tian Yu, the electronic sound of the system also sounded.

[Player 110 triggers the hidden mission: Duke Silvermoon's Request]

[Duke Silvermoon has sensed that the city is about to fall into a chaotic struggle, and he asks you to help his daughter Vivian when necessary.]

[Task Reward: Based on the player's level of help to Vivian, 1 point will be awarded for every 1% achievement]

[Please note that players can choose whether to accept this task or not]

Tian Yu replied softly: "I accept." This was the answer to Duke Silver Moon and he informed the system.

As a friend, if she could help Vivian, she would.
