Seeing the three Alices whose expressions suddenly turned ugly, Liu Xing, the only melon-eater present, was a little at a loss.
Seeing Liu Xing's appearance, Alice whispered: "Among the six mirages currently known, this castle is the most difficult to clear, because so far only a few people have walked out of the castle alive, and no one has walked out of the castle alive.
Wrong, the reason why they were able to come out alive was because they survived to the end, which was equivalent to triggering Mirage's guarantee measures; in addition, Mirage also has a rule that only those who complete the task can tell others about the tasks they passed.
People, so there is very little information about the castle at present, or it is just some background introduction."
"This castle looks like a medieval European castle from the outside. The guards on the wall are armed with real crossbows. If they are hit, they will not die or be injured. In addition, there are guards with swords in the castle.
Compared with the axe-wielding guards, their close combat effectiveness is also astonishingly high. Of course, the most important thing is that these guards are immortal, so if you fail to complete the task or provoke them, then you can basically fight the world.
Farewell, of course there is a special item in this castle, which is the knighthood medal. Once you get the knighthood medal, you can command these guards."
"Yes, the biggest rule of this castle is that people with lower titles must unconditionally obey those with higher titles. After we enter the castle, one person will be able to get a knighthood medal, and the identities of the others will become like this
A retinue of a knight, among which the status of the knight is higher than that of all the servants and guards in the castle, while the status of the retinue is slightly higher than that of the servants and on the same level as the guards; of course, there are four nobles in the castle, namely
It says that except for the duke, there is one person for each of the other titles, and we must obey their orders...On the surface, we must do so."
Liu Xing raised his brows and said, "In this case, as long as we find the Duke's Medal, then we have cleared this mirage, right? After all, we are Dukes, and we can directly order other people in this castle.
"
"Theoretically, this is the case." Li Hanxing came over and said, "According to our guess, this mirage may be different from other mirages. It may not provide different tasks to outsiders like other mirages. This means that obtaining
The Duke's Medal is the only way to leave this mirage, so no one has been able to clear this mirage."
As soon as Li Hanxing finished speaking, he saw the castle's suspension bridge being lowered, and the gate to the castle began to slowly open.
"Let's go in. If we stay outside the castle for too long, we may be regarded as suspicious, and the guards on the city wall will not give us a chance to explain." Sun Huiwen said as he walked.
When Liu Xing, who was walking last, walked into the castle, the door behind him closed instantly, startling Liu Xing and others.
"Is this a show of force?" Li Hanxing muttered.
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler came over, took out a medal that should be made of brass and handed it to Alice, and then said respectfully: "Dear Sir Alice, you are finally here,
Now please allow me to take you and your followers to your rooms."
I don't know if it was Liu Xing's illusion. When Alice got the knighthood medal, Alice's temperament changed instantly, making Liu Xing a little afraid to look at Alice casually.
Just when Liu Xing lowered his head subconsciously, he discovered that Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen looked similar to himself. It seemed that this should be the influence of this mirage on the three of them.
This surprised Liu Xing, because in other modules in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, even if players need to play their new roles, they are not forced to do what they "should" do like this.
It seems that this mirage is indeed a very special module.
As a result, Liu Xing and the others followed Alice and the housekeeper to a small two-story building with a single courtyard on the far right side of the castle.
However, it is worth noting that there are nine similar two-story buildings in this area.
"Lord Alice, you have already arranged the room on the second floor. If you need anything, you can arrange for your subordinates to come to the main castle and let me know. I will arrange it as soon as possible; by the way, tonight
There will be a banquet, and I hope, Alice-sama, you can put on formal attire and attend."
After the middle-aged housekeeper finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Alice and then stood up to leave.
After the middle-aged housekeeper left, Liu Xing instantly felt that the invisible pressure on him disappeared.
"Huh~"
Li Hanxing on the side breathed a long sigh of relief and whispered: "No wonder no one has cleared this castle so far. It turns out there is such a mystery in it."
Alice also nodded and said seriously: "When I just received the knight's medal, I suddenly remembered that my master used to like to teach us all kinds of etiquette in his spare time. It was so famous that we might be able to do it in the future.
It came in handy, and then those memories that had been dusty in my mind for a long time were instantly awakened, and then I unconsciously started to control my body. But judging from the current situation, we should only be affected when there are outsiders around us.
The impact of this mirage.”
"Let's go in first and sit and chat."
Liu Xing immediately opened the door on the first floor, and then saw a simple room - a table with four chairs, a kettle and four cups on the table, and other than that there was only a large shop.
There are several sets of bedding and pillows piled on top...and then there is a wooden barrel in the corner, its function is self-evident.
"This... at least this is quite clean..." The expression on Liu Xing's face froze instantly.
I didn't expect that the living conditions of the knights and servants like myself would be so poor. There was not even a place to wash their faces.
But it is true that the background of this mirage is Europe in the Middle Ages, so all customs should be exactly the same as that time, so Liu Xing feels that he cannot be too demanding in terms of hygiene...
"Well, aren't you worried that the castle will be full of ollies?"
Li Hanxing said with a bitter face: "Looking at the posture, I am very worried that this castle will really be a complete replica of Europe in the Middle Ages. Now that I think about it, I feel terrible. Those nobles have never taken a bath.
, can the tangled hair be used directly to make a shield?"
Alice shuddered, took out her knight's medal and said: "So you all come to be this knight. When I think of that scene now, I feel so beautiful that I can't see it, and I can smell a strange smell. That's it.
That smell of strong perfume and body odor blending together.”
A piece of trivia that is no longer trivial - one of the important reasons why perfume developed rapidly in the Middle Ages was to cover up the odor of nobles who had not bathed for a long time.
There is also a piece of trivia that goes with it - high heels were originally men's shoes. In addition to increasing height, their function is to reduce the contact area between the shoes and the ground, thereby avoiding stepping on the shoes.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly began not to envy Alice for getting the knighthood medal.
After complaining about the environment in the room, Liu Xing and others sat down and got down to business.
"Obviously, tonight's banquet should be for Alice to accept the mission on our behalf, but I think the members of the public faction who entered the mirage before, as well as ordinary people who may have entered it by mistake, will attend this banquet, so Alice, you have to
Be careful and don't reveal your identity. If anyone asks, just say that we entered here by mistake." Liu Xing said seriously.
Alice nodded and said: "Of course, I will try to find out why the members of the public faction entered here, but by then you should also be able to move around in other parts of the castle, although the guards are basically
They are inhumane wooden people, but I heard that those servants are quite humane, and I think they should be able to provide us with clues."
As a result, at this moment, the room suddenly became dark,
Liu Xing and others subconsciously looked outside the door and found that it was already evening.
"It seems that the time in this mirage does not flow at a fixed speed." Li Hanxing frowned and said: "This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that we don't have to waste time in this mirage and spend some useless time.
Meaningful time; the bad thing is that our movement time is also limited. I think once the dinner party is over, it will be daytime soon. This means that we cannot take advantage of the darkness and sneak into the main castle in the dead of night.
Explore.”
Liu Xing shrugged, looked at the wooden barrel in the corner and said, "I think this is a good thing, at least we don't need to experience medieval accommodation conditions."
"correct!"
Alice suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to go upstairs first. I think the formal attire for the banquet will be on the second floor."
After saying that, Alice left first.
Liu Xing looked at his clothes that had not changed, looked around and said: "We should also need to change clothes. After all, the clothes we are wearing are completely different from the style of this mirage world."
Sun Huiwen nodded, stood up and walked towards the pile of bedding and pillows, and then actually rummaged through several sets of common medieval costumes.
Liu Xing and the three of them each chose a suit of clothes that they liked, and they looked a bit off after wearing them... Of course, fortunately, these clothes should have been washed, otherwise Liu Xing would really consider maintaining his current image.
However, after putting on his clothes, Liu Xing took a few casual steps and found that there seemed to be something scratching on the shoulders of the clothes.
But these are commoners.
Liu Xing touched his shoulder and found that there was indeed a rectangular thing inside, which felt a bit like folded paper.
Is it hiding information?
Liu Xing quickly took off his clothes, and while Li Hanxing and Li Hanxing looked at them in surprise and confusion, he took out a small knife from his emergency bag, cut open the stitching on his shoulder, and then took out a folded yellow form paper.
.
Wait, yellow form paper?
Liu Xing looked at the yellow paper and said with some confusion: "If I remember correctly, this kind of yellow paper should be a specialty of China, right? And it should have been invented during the Daoguang period, so how could it appear here?"
"You'll know when you open it and take a look. I think this should have been left by the person who entered this mirage before, and most likely his purpose of doing this was to remind us of something." Sun Huiwen said affirmatively.
Liu Xing nodded, opened the yellow form and put it on the table.
There was only one word written on the yellow paper - painting.
painting?
Liu Xing and the other three looked at each other in confusion, and for a moment they didn't know what this painted character meant.
Does this mean that those knighthood medals are behind various paintings in this castle, or does it mean that there is something wrong with the paintings in this castle?
"It seems that after we go to the main castle later, we have to pay attention to the various paintings in the main castle. There should be important clues there." Li Hanxing said seriously: "But we also have to be careful, like
In this kind of medieval background module, the possibility of mythical creatures hidden in the paintings is quite high."
At this time, Li Hanxing seemed to suddenly think of something, patted his head and said: "By the way Liu Xing, Sun Huiwen and I received a message just when we entered this mirage. This is indeed a special module, which is carried out by a dedicated kp.
Responsible, and the main mission we have now is to stay alive."
"Alive? Is there no time limit?" Liu Xing asked with some confusion.
Sun Huiwen on the side shook his head and replied: "The current main mission only has two words - alive. It seems that we need to wait until Alice attends today's dinner before we can know what the real main mission is.
However, the exclusive kp of Mirage is the same as kp Broken Bridge. Liu Xing, you still belong to neither the player nor the NPC."
Liu Xing nodded, and just when he was about to speak, he saw Alice appearing at the door wearing a gorgeous long dress.
Liu Xing's heart was moved when he said something.
As a professional Cthulhu Running Team game player, Liu Xing has only one idea in his mind right now - APP90!
In the Cthulhu Running Group game, KP wants to describe how good-looking a person is. Even if he writes a long essay of a thousand words, which is filled with all kinds of gorgeous words and quotes from various poems from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, in the end it will not work.
It can only be replaced by the word "oh" from the players, but as long as kp types "APP90", the players' emotions will rise instantly.
This is no joke, this is the current situation of Cthulhu team games.
Looking at the Liu Xing trio with dull eyes, Alice covered her mouth and said, "Hey, you followers don't want eyes?"
