After all, the Universe Country is still a small country. Apart from the relatively powerful individual companies, it has no other advantages. But England is different. Although it has declined a lot over the years, a skinny camel is better than a horse.
Great, if England is controlled by the secret church like the Universe Kingdom, then the entire continent of Europa may be in trouble.
But judging from the current situation, it is not easy for others to intervene in this matter, because the Corpse Cult attacks through some members of the royal family who are controlled by them, so this is equivalent to an internal problem of the English royal family. Unless others can get help,
Another part of the royal family asked for help, otherwise they would not be qualified to participate in this incident.
What's more, most of the players in this parallel world have already gathered in the island country, and they will not be able to escape in a short time. Players who are not in the island country are either too weak or too strong, and they are unlikely to go to England to trigger and
Join the mod.
Therefore, Liu Xing feels that this time England is likely to repeat the mistakes of the Universe Kingdom, and the future will be determined by the battle between NPCs.
I just don't know what Alice's father would do.
Looking at Liu Xing's concerned eyes, Alice shook her head and said: "If you are not in his position, you will not seek political power. My father has already begun to prepare to move to Italy. If nothing happens, he will not be involved in the disputes in the royal family."
Because my father knows that his abilities are just that, plus he has been pampered for decades, let alone dealing with ghouls, just being a fanatical believer is enough for him to drink a pot; but my teacher
I should go back to support the royal family, because my teacher actually has royal blood, but according to him, it is so thin that it almost doesn’t make it into the family tree.”
Hearing what Alice said, Dio suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, Alice, your teacher also has royal blood? This shouldn't be the case. I heard Liu Xing mention your teacher several times, so I can be sure that your teacher is not
May have royal blood; because the Corpse Cult has always been planning how to control England, so the Corpse Cult once had such a plan - to support an illegitimate child. This plan was originally intended to be used on William II, because
As the son of William the Conqueror, William II was not popular in England at the time, and there were many remnants of the previous dynasty who wanted to regain the throne of England."
"But more importantly, William II was already considered to have the habit of cutting off his sleeves at the time, because he had never been married, so he had no sons. At the same time, he also favored a close minister and gave away the most important piece of his life at the time.
The fief and the title of bishop were given to the close minister; of course, Alice, you should also know that the Christian Church at that time did not welcome people with the habit of cutting sleeves, so William II never disclosed his orientation, so everyone
They all pretended to be confused and reached a strange tacit understanding with William II, but this also allowed the Corpse Food Cult to see an opportunity."
"In the European continent at that time, illegitimate children could also have inheritance rights after being recognized. For example, William II's father, William the Conqueror from France, was an illegitimate son. Because his father had no other children, he obtained inheritance rights, so he was eaten by corpses.
The Cult is planning to create an illegitimate son for William II out of thin air. As long as William II dies, the Corpse Cult will push this illegitimate son to the throne. This plan has to be said to be very feasible, because the Corpse Cult can use magic to bring the illegitimate son to the throne.
This illegitimate son has become more like William II than William II's biological son, and coupled with the efforts of those nobles who have long joined the Corpse Cult, this illegitimate son can become the new king of England as long as nothing unexpected happens."
"It's a pity that an accident still happened, because the Cult of Corpse Eaters did not expect that someone would take action faster than themselves - William II's younger brother - Henry I asked someone to shoot William II with an arrow during a hunting activity, and then William
The second son died because he was not rescued in time. Then Henry I quickly succeeded to the throne of England on the grounds that William II had no son. This set of operations was so smooth that even the Corpse Cult did not react.
It has ended."
"However, the Corpse Food Cult is determined to be evil and has been collecting information about the British royal family since then, preparing to find a good opportunity to support one of their own to ascend the throne. Therefore, the royal family tree in the Corpse Cult's hands may be more detailed than the royal family itself.
, because the Cult of Corpse Food also recorded the situation of those illegitimate children. I saw this genealogy when I was in Manchester. Even the illegitimate children more than 500 years ago have been tracked and recorded, and every royal family alive in the world has been tracked and recorded.
Members will have an information card, and their latest status will be updated every year, so I did not see a member of the royal family who went to Miskatonic University to study or teach in that family tree."
Dio looked at Alice, frowned and said: "I can swear to God, because there is no need for the Corpse Eater Cult to lie to me in this regard, and it is unlikely that your teacher will be missed, so..."
Although Dior hesitated to speak, Liu Xing and Alice already understood his thoughts.
Liu Xing glanced at Alice and found that Alice's expression was very solemn.
After a while, Alice nodded and said: "Okay, I know what you want to say, Dio... I just thought about this possibility carefully and found that my teacher might really be the one who escaped from the corpse.
The bloody ghoul hunted by the Food Cult!"
?!
Liu Xing looked at Alice in surprise, because Liu Xing really didn't expect Alice to say such disrespectful words.
However, after Liu Xing thought about it, he understood why Alice was like this. The reason was actually very simple - Alice already knew the truth about the world, so Alice's way of thinking had also switched from NPC to player.
At the same time, because Alice has rich NPC experience, she combines the modules she has "experienced" before, and it is not difficult to analyze whether her teacher is the bloody ghoul who escaped.
This is like when players such as Liu Xing are developing a new module, they only need to collect some information to roughly calculate the identities of the NPCs currently playing.
Of course, Liu Xing thinks the most important thing is that Alice has learned to judge others by herself.
During a private chat, Liu Xing discussed one thing with Alice, that is, does the Cthulhu Run game lobby also divide NPCs into three, six or nine levels? Then allocate modules according to levels.
The result is positive.
According to the discussion results between Liu Xing and Alice, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is likely to divide NPCs into four levels: low, middle and high. Among them, low-level NPCs are those who only show their faces in a certain module and get a box lunch.
, such as the castle steward Liu Xing met in the first module, and the Taoist priest of Xianheguan he met in the second module.
Then there are the intermediate NPCs. This type of NPC is an important role in the module, holding important clues or props that can determine whether the player passes the level. Under normal circumstances, these NPCs are immortal and have the opportunity to show up in other modules.
However, as the level of the module becomes higher and higher, these NPCs are likely to be like the early BOSS in some games and become insignificant soldiers in the later stage.
Then there are high-level NPCs like Alice.
The reason why Alice considers herself a high-level NPC is because she feels that high-level NPCs are comparable to mid-level NPCs. The only difference is that high-level NPCs can play important roles in any module and have a large number of roles.
Possessing the "gold medal to avoid death".
Alice recalled her past and believed that she had actually encountered death threats many times in the module. For example, in the hospital more than ten years ago, Alice at that time could be said to have no ability to protect herself.
Meeting a fanatic or a mythical creature means one word - death!
And before Liu Xing discovered Alice, several mythical creatures and fanatics had entered the room where Alice was hiding and conducted searches, but they stopped at the last moment each time; as for the subsequent collapse of the building,
At that time, Alice didn't know that she should hide in the corner, so Alice subconsciously wanted to run out of the room. However, she stepped on a bottle and fell into the corner. Fortunately, she survived.
.But Alice was sure that before this, there were no bottles on the ground.
In subsequent modules, Alice was in a hurry when preparing to leave the Deep Sea Evangelical Society, so her preparation plan was not perfect. However, Alice still successfully left the Deep Sea Evangelical Society. However, when Alice reviewed it afterwards,
I discovered a problem, that is, my plan should have been discovered by the Deep Sea Gospel Society when I was one-third of the way through, so I will encounter at least three dangers in the next plan, and once these dangers occur,
Even if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured.
But none of these dangers happened. At that time, Alice thought she was lucky, but now that she thinks about it, it was the "death-free gold medal" given to her by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall that had the effect, because as a high-level NPC, she still had to participate
More about the modules of Liu Xing and others.
Of course, the essence of this "gold medal for immunity from death" is that the King of Hell will let you die at the fifth watch. Who dares to let you die at the third watch?
It’s not that I won’t die, the time has not yet come.
Alice suspected that something would happen to her in a module that took place in England, where Liu Xing and others were in conflict with the Corpse Cult, and her death would serve as an important turning point in the plot.
However, Liu Xing disagreed with this, because in Liu Xing's opinion, since the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will not set a certain death situation for players, it will not let NPCs have to die at any time or location, because this is practical.
It's so un-Cthulhu, after all, the focus of the Cthulhu Run game is on the word "freedom".
In other words, the life and death of one NPC, or the life and death of all NPCs in the entire module, are not enough to directly affect the outcome of the module.
Of course, except for those NPCs who must survive to clear the module.
Moreover, Liu Xing also studied the clearance requirements of the module and found that the Cthulhu Run game lobby did not set clearance requirements such as "such and such NPC must die".
In the end, Alice judged others by herself and felt that her teacher should be the top NPC!
Obviously, the top NPCs refer to the most powerful people or mythical creatures in this parallel world. They basically will not appear in modules outside the Cthulhu area, but their names and influence have spread throughout other areas.
area, and played many roles. For example, Alice's teacher has provided important information to Liu Xing and other players many times, but Shenlong has never seen the beginning. Now Liu Xing has not seen what Alice's teacher looks like.
Regarding this point, Alice is very sure that she was influenced by the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall, because every time Alice contacted her teacher before, one thought would come to her mind - don't let Liu Xing wait.
People come into contact with their own teachers.
So Alice would involuntarily step aside every time she made a phone call.
Even though Alice is no longer an NPC, when she thinks of calling her teacher, she already reflexively gets up and leaves... Although Alice also knows that she doesn't have to do this, Alice thinks of something.
There is a possibility that if players such as Liu Xing really come into contact with their teachers, they may trigger modules related to their teachers.
After all, Liu Xing and others first met Alice in the Moritomo Academy module, and then officially met Alice in the subsequent Fisherman Village module. Then there were various subsequent modules, and some modules
The group was obviously made possible by the presence of Alice, Liu Xing and other talents, such as the Manchester module.
Therefore, Alice does not want Liu Xing and others to conduct a super difficult module in the Cthulhu area in advance.
Liu Xing strongly agrees with this.
But having said that, Liu Xing and Alice discovered a problem at the end of their discussion, that is, Alice's teacher does not seem to be qualified to be a top NPC.
The reason is very simple. Although Alice's teacher knows a lot and is a professor at Miskatonic University, his own strength is only that much. He is not as good as those famous wizards and Taoists, and maybe even humanoid myths like Sawada Yaon.
He can't defeat any living thing; secondly, his experience over the years is also very ordinary. Although he has participated in the Miskatonic University expedition, he has not made any major discoveries. As for the conflicts with those secret churches, it is also a bit of a stop-gap.
It's not to the point of life and death.
As for Alice and other apprentices, although they each have some achievements, that's all.
Therefore, Alice's teacher seems to be just a high-level NPC. Compared with other top NPCs, that is, the great mages and leaders of large secret churches that Liu Xing and Alice have heard of, they seem to be far behind.
, which makes Liu Xing and Alice feel like they are not enough compared to the superiors, but more than adequate compared to the inferiors.
