"If you tell me something, I love you."
Li Hanxing said with a serious face: "I originally thought that an outstanding person like me would be alone all his life, but now I realize that there is someone who can study with me for the rest of my life."
"That's right, that's right." Sun Huiwen suddenly said.
Interrupted by Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, the atmosphere at the scene became active again.
"To be honest, Alice, you are so beautiful now." Liu Xing said seriously: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddle. You were very beautiful before, but now you put on this evening dress, I
There were only four words left in my mind - shocking."
Alice looked at Liu Xing, smiled and shook her head and said, "This is a little unlike you, Mr. Liu Xing."
Liu Xing smiled and sighed and said nothing more.
At this moment, Liu Xing and others suddenly heard the sound of bells coming from the main castle.
It seems that this should be a signal that the dinner is about to begin.
Ever since, under the leadership of Alice, Liu Xing and the other two followed her to the main castle.
At this time, the middle-aged housekeeper had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Alice, he took the initiative to lead everyone to the back garden of the main castle, where the dinner was held.
At this time, there were already many noble men and women in bright clothes talking to each other, and there were also many entourages dressed similarly to Liu Xing and others waiting to be dispatched.
After watching Alice leave, Liu Xing said with some surprise: "Didn't you say that there are only four nobles in this castle? Even if these nobles brought all their family members, the remaining nine buildings would be full.
The total number of people is much less than the nobles here."
Liu Xing took a quick glance and found that the number of people attending the dinner probably exceeded three digits.
"It seems that those who were lucky enough to escape from this mirage either lied or were forced to lie." Li Hanxing frowned and said: "But this is actually a good thing for us, because we entered this mirage in the first place.
People are either members of the public faction or ordinary people... I think those ordinary people have probably been deceived by members of the public faction, so we must now regard those ordinary people as enemies, so
Now that there are so many aristocratic NPCs around, Alice, who has a Western appearance, can blend in smoothly."
Liu Xing nodded, agreeing with Li Hanxing's statement, because at this time Alice did not feel any disobedience after entering the dinner scene. If Liu Xing had not known Alice for "more than ten years", Liu Xing would have known her for "more than ten years".
It's really possible that Xing thought Alice was an aristocratic lady.
"Okay, what should we do now?" Sun Huiwen looked around and said, "Should we go separately now, or should we all go together? In addition, there is another question, that is, should we leave one person here?
Help Alice?"
Liu Xing looked around and found many followers with island country faces waiting in the corridor.
"I think I still have to stay here, because the members of the public faction who entered here first have specially kept people here, which means that there may still be problems during the banquet, and we, as followers, may need to take action.
; And I think Li Hanxing and you should act together, because you are likely to meet people from the public faction." Liu Xing said seriously.
Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen nodded, gave Liu Xing a "take care of yourself" look and left.
Looking at the backs of Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, Liu Xing could only wish them all the best in his heart. After all, this is a castle that is completely unknown to them. There are many enemies in the castle, as well as various dangers that may exist.
.
Liu Xing sighed and continued to pay attention to the situation at the dinner.
At this time, Alice was already chatting enthusiastically with several middle-aged women who looked like noble ladies, and it looked like they were close to becoming best friends.
As for the nobles with island country faces at the dinner, Liu Xing counted them carefully and found that there were only three people in total.
It seems that members of the public faction did not send too many people into this mirage.
As for the entourage waiting on the side, Liu Xing saw five faces from the island country, and among them there was one person who looked very familiar to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found out that this person was one of the members of the public faction who were carrying backpacks during the fire in Nagoya Castle.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because this should prove that the public faction had indeed brought that treasure into this special module.
As for why the public faction did this, Liu Xing estimated that the treasure was most likely brought out from this special module.
But here comes the question. Didn’t Alice and the others say that no one has been able to clear this special module? So how did this treasure get lost?
What is the hidden secret in this?
Liu Xing began to feel that something was not right with this special module.
Just when Liu Xing was thinking about something, the originally noisy dinner scene suddenly became quiet.
Liu Xing took a closer look and found that everyone present had already focused their attention on a young nobleman who was slightly fat.
Judging from the nobleman's clothing and demeanor, as well as the attitude of the people around him towards him, this nobleman should be the owner of this castle, and he is also the Marquis with the highest title among everyone present.
"I am here to introduce myself to all the new friends. I am the owner of this castle, Zum, the son of Duke Gundogan. I am very happy to meet you."
Zum deliberately paused for a few seconds after saying this, and others around him also started to applaud very wisely.
After hearing the warm applause, Zum nodded with great satisfaction and continued: "I believe everyone should already know about that matter, so I won't go into details here. I hope you can do your best and don't get hurt.
The most important thing is that I really hope to see you all again at the farewell dinner a week ago."
As soon as Zum said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became deserted.
After hearing this, Liu Xing felt that he could roughly guess what the main mission of this special module was.
First of all, this main task has a time limit, that is, when the so-called "farewell dinner" begins a week later, this special module will enter the end; then there is the main task of this special module, which is to meet the NPCs present.
The nobles compete to get the hidden knighthood medals; in the end, this Zum should be the final boss of this module.
A boss with huge home field advantage.
In addition, other NPC nobles are also the enemies of the players.
No wonder this is the most difficult module among the six special modules, because in this module players have no NPC teammates, and even other players are their enemies.
It doesn't matter if there are many enemies. The biggest problem now is that most enemies will be a head taller than you, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Liu Xing suddenly felt like everyone was fighting.
At this time, the dinner continued, but the atmosphere of the dinner became a little strange, and everyone began to gather together in groups of two and a half to discuss in low voices.
Liu Xing originally thought that Alice would be isolated at this time, but unexpectedly, the middle-aged ladies from before still pulled Alice aside, seemingly wanting to get Alice to join their camp.
More than an hour passed like this, and the nobles at the dinner began to leave one after another, and Liu Xing also took this opportunity to choose to leave, because Liu Xing did not want members of the public faction to find out that he and Alice were the same person... Although the public family
Members of the faction may have discovered it long ago.
Returning to the two-story building, Liu Xing found that both Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen had returned, and it seemed that they had not encountered any trouble.
Seeing Liu Xing come back, Li Hanxing said: "There are guards patrolling everywhere in the castle, so we only walked around the first floor of the castle. Basically, there was nothing worth noting. Of course, because that
Because of the yellow paper, we deliberately paid attention to the paintings hanging in the castle. Currently, we found a total of five oil paintings in the public space on the first floor. Three of the oil paintings were of a middle-aged man. It seems that he should be from this castle.
owner, or ancestor."
"In addition, there are two oil paintings, both of which are landscape paintings. One painting should be of the castle, which doesn't seem to have anything noteworthy; the other oil painting is of a big tree, this one.
The big tree didn't seem to have anything special, but I noticed a detail, that is, there was a pattern on a leaf on this big tree that might be the number 5."
"5 again?"
Liu Xing was a little surprised and said: "This special module was also triggered in Restaurant No. 5, which means that this 5 should be an important clue to this special module, but it is still too difficult to analyze just by relying on this 5."
, because this 5 can represent the fifth floor, the fifth room, the fifth two-story building, or even the fifth player to enter this special module, or the fifth player to receive a knighthood medal."
"Actually, there is another possibility, that is, the big tree is the clue that the oil painting really wants to convey!" Sun Huiwen said seriously: "I have encountered such a situation before. There was an NPC who used false clues.
In other words, it is the kind of irrelevant clues that cover up the really important clues, just like this oil painting. I think most people will subconsciously ignore the big tree after discovering the number 5 on the leaves, let alone the
The big tree doesn’t look like there’s anything special about it.”
Hearing what Sun Huiwen said, Liu Xing suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said, "I think what you said, Sun Huiwen, makes sense."
Liu Xing first told Li Hanxing what he saw, heard and thought at the dinner, and then continued: "Judging from the current situation, I suspect that this special module is actually a treasure hunt game, a
A treasure hunt game in which players compete with a large number of NPCs, with the ultimate goal of obtaining the Duke's Medal, so there may be many puzzles and clues hidden in this castle."
"Wait a minute, are there too many players participating in this treasure hunt game? There must be two to three hundred people among the nobles and their followers, right? Although this castle is indeed quite big, more than three hundred people are hunting for treasure together.
If so, I'm afraid everyone will look down and not look up again, so this treasure hunt game might as well be changed into an exploration game." Li Hanxing complained.
"What if this particular mod extends beyond just this castle?"
Liu Xing said seriously: "Although we haven't turned around this castle yet, we can also notice that there are not many big trees in this castle, because the castle is simply a fortress, so in this fortress
It shouldn't be possible to plant too many trees, so as not to add fuel to the fire attack. And the most important thing is that when we first entered this module, we all saw the surrounding flowers, plants and trees. I don't think that should be the case.
Post a picture."
Just when Li Hanxing was still about to say something, Alice came back.
After closing the door, Alice said: "The plot prepared by this mirage is really interesting. First of all, this is a fictional medieval kingdom. The biggest feature of this kingdom is that it only recognizes medals and not people. As long as you have a
If you get a knighthood medal, you can get the corresponding knighthood. However, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from trying to take away other people's knighthood medals, causing the same title to change hands multiple times in a short period of time, this kingdom has also done something about this.
A special rule."
"This special rule is actually very simple, that is, the owner of the Order of Knights will be determined once every ten years, and then the owners of the Order of Knights will not change in the next year, unless some owners due to various reasons
Pass away; the next step is the key point. If there is a relevant will, the successor of the knighthood medal will automatically fill the title. But if there is no will, then whoever holds the knighthood medal will be able to obtain the title after one month.
.”
"The original owner of this castle is Duke Gundogan. His family is one of the largest families in the kingdom, so it has many branches. Yes, the nobles attending the dinner today are all relatives of Duke Gundogan.
And the reason why they came here is because Duke An of Jingdong died suddenly, and he had not made a will before that, so these relatives, including us, are all here for his title and medal, and his
Although my son, Marquis Zum, cannot stop us openly, he will definitely deal with us secretly."
Hearing this, Liu Xing smiled and said: "Sure enough, this mirage is just a treasure hunt. If we want to pass this mirage, we have to get the Duke's Medal."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Alice shook her head and said: "That's not necessarily true. If we can find other knighthood medals, we can also pass the level."
