When he heard the word "sweet water", Liu Xing suddenly became energetic and immediately focused on Ah Yi and others.
"According to the background information given by the module, the former site of the Sweetwater Tribe is only a few kilometers away from us. It is a tribe located at the foot of the mountain. The reason why they chose such a name is because there are mountains on that mountain.
A sweet spring, the water quality can be directly filled in the real world, and then sold in the supermarket for a three-digit sum, so this sweet water tribe was undoubtedly the strongest tribe within a radius of a hundred miles.
none of them."
Ah said as he walked: "My grandfather once said to me that fields and water sources are very important to a village, because it is related to their life and death, so when he was still young, he would often see people
Serious conflicts occur over fields or water sources; I think this can also be applied to the current module, because the reason why the tribe we are in and the tribe opposite us have been fighting for hundreds of years is because of the mountains.
The fertile land beneath our feet is considered by both parties to be theirs."
"The reason why the Sweetwater Tribe became history is because the sweet spring on the mountain was coveted by others. Of course, from our modern point of view, the Sweetwater Tribe at that time was not very kind! After all, if they didn't stop it, what would happen if they didn't stop it?
The sweet springs flowing down the river also flowed through several other tribes; as a result, the Sweetwater Tribe directly built a reservoir and kept most of the sweet springs on their own territory, which caused other tribes to join forces to attack. Fortunately, at that time
The Sweetwater Tribe has a reliable leader who resolves the crisis by using the strategy of distant friendship and close attack."
"After that, two tribal alliances appeared over there, confronting each other just like we do now, and there were often some fights, but generally speaking, they were just small fights, and neither of them had any intention of directly attacking each other.
But at this time, a group of people came from nowhere and just fooled the people on both sides. Then the conflict between the two sides became more and more intense. In the end, both sides suffered a loss and disappeared in the long river of history.
!But the most important thing is that the sweet spring was also destroyed, so no one started over on the site of the Sweetwater Tribe."
"After all, no one wants to change the name of their tribe to Kushui, right?"
Ayi shook her head and said: "But then again, why did that sweet spring suddenly change its taste? According to what I know, this endless mountain spring basically comes from groundwater, so according to the purification ability of groundwater, it is
It is difficult to directly change the taste of a mountain spring; so I guess that a filter with a smell should have been added to that mountain spring, so it changed from a sweet spring to a bitter spring... But the problem came again,
The reason why the Sweet Water Tribe came into conflict with the surrounding tribes was because of such a sweet spring, so who did such a cruel thing?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing felt that this was a very standard plot with nothing new, and it was different from the situation in Tianshui Town, because there were no people around Tianshui Town, so there was no conflict.
It seems that I am thinking too much.
However, Liu Xing is also very curious about who destroyed the sweet spring of the Tianshui tribe. Logically speaking, for such an important water source, no matter who wins the final victory, he should want to take this water source as his own.
Rather than destroying it directly.
"Is it too much or too little?"
Big-mouthed Bat suddenly said: "Is there a possibility that this sweet spring has not become bitter, but has become too sweet? You must know that if the sweetness is too high, it will taste bitter when you drink it.
!Anyway, I liked sweet things when I was a kid, so I added too much sugar once, and then I learned what it means to be so sweet that it turns bitter."
As a doctor, Liu Xing once encountered a patient in a similar situation. When he ate sweets, the first few seconds of his mouth tasted normal sweetness, and then he suddenly felt a little bitter. The cause was inflammation.
Diseases related to the oral cavity.
So the question is, will the players and NPCs in this module have similar illnesses that prevent them from sensing smells normally?
This is actually possible, because the background of this module is placed in ancient times, so due to productivity limitations, everyone's living standards and medical standards are at a relatively low value, and the living environment is almost exactly the same.
Therefore, everyone in the entire tribe may suffer from the same disease, which is why there were "certain disease villages" in the past.
So as a doctor, Liu Xing has now begun to suspect that the tribes in this area have the same problem.
"If nothing else happens, there will be a side mission at the old site of the Sweetwater Tribe."
Ha Yi said with certainty: "I also forgot what the celebrity said. In short, the content is that when a close-up of a gun appears in the first few minutes of a movie, then the gun will definitely be used by someone before the end of the movie.
A character pulls the trigger! So there must be a reason for the appearance of this Sweet Water Tribe, and it won’t take us much time to get there... It’s just that this time it’s a confrontation module. The more time we waste, the more time we waste on the opponent’s players.
The advantage will be even greater, unless we really take away that old horse."
"etc!"
Mo Jin stopped and said: "Do you think there is such a possibility that the thoroughbred and the old horse should have gone to the former site of the Sweetwater Tribe? That's what I think. Now the two tribes have shaken hands and made peace.
The same tribe, but this tribe only has so many fields, and the fertile field in the middle will not become larger; so now that we have a bag of fine seeds and an old horse, we can send a team of people to other areas.
It’s a good place to open up new fields! And the old site of the Sweetwater Tribe is pretty good.”
"Regardless of whether this water source is good to drink or not, at least it can be used to irrigate fields, so the Sweetwater Tribe has good water for irrigating the fields! So I guess the leaders and elders of both tribes will be able to irrigate the fields after some discussions.
, and finally we plan to open a branch mine at the old site of the Sweetwater Tribe! So if we have insight into their plan in advance, can we get more rewards? You must know that on the first day we joined the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby,
The owner of the dog group said that some modules come with hidden endings, and you can get more rewards by reaching the hidden endings!"
Liu Xing also agreed very much with Mo Jin's words, because the same is true in the subsequent Cthulhu Running Game Hall. If the player can achieve the hidden endings in some modules, then he will be able to obtain more rewards.
And it may trigger a series of special tasks later.
Most of the hidden endings require players to take risks and deviate from the main plot. Therefore, although some players are vaguely aware of the existence of hidden endings, they do not dare to move forward.
"This module is nominally a confrontation module, but the main mission we are receiving now does not require us to fight to the death with the players on the opposite side. On the contrary, Elder Gu also mentioned that we should not do it as a last resort.
You must not make a fatal move! So we have reason to suspect that this confrontation module has a hidden ending of cooperation between both parties, and the key to triggering this ending is the old horse in our hands and the thoroughbred of the opponent player!"
Mo Jin said very seriously: "The most important thing is that although we don't know who the players on the opposite side are yet, in the end we are all friends, so we should be able to reach cooperation after talking about it; even if it fails to trigger in the end
What kind of hidden mission is it? The worst thing is to start over, and when we come back, we will have a showdown based on our abilities!"
"I agree with Ajin's idea!"
Big Mouth Bat said without hesitation: "Who can refuse to reveal the hidden ending? Besides, if this module is carried out according to the normal process, the plot can be seen to the end at a glance, so it is better to try to trigger it
Hidden ending!”
Although Ha Yi looked embarrassed at this time, he still agreed with Mo Jin's idea in the end.
As for Liu Xing, he expressed great envy for this, because in today's Cthulhu Running Game Hall, it is almost impossible for players participating in confrontation modules to achieve cooperation. After all, the price of failure that needs to be paid in the end is too high.
When it gets bigger, no one dares to place their wealth or life in the hands of the enemy.
"Ah Yi, what's your expression now? Are you really an undercover agent, so don't you want to see us cooperate?" Mo Jin asked directly.
Ah Yi shook his head quickly and said: "No, I just thought of a problem now, that is, according to the owner of the dog group, the module we are in is based on a certain ancient poem and song, so I
When I first entered the module, I was thinking about which ancient poems and songs related to the concept of tribe, and finally narrowed the scope to the "Chu Ci" and "The Book of Songs" from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period... But nothing unexpected happened.
, our understanding of these two works is limited to a few poems in them, right?"
"Well, I can only remember a few of them now. It would be a bit difficult to ask me to recite the entire poem so early."
Ayi looked around, shook her head and said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, I really don't know which poem this module is based on."
""Peach Blossom Spring"? I think the layout of this tribe is in line with the houses. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo... But the problem is that we are now halfway up the mountain, so we don't seem to be satisfied with this sentence.
The land ahead is flat?" Big-mouthed Bat shook his head and said.
"That's why I had such an expression just now."
Ha Yi frowned and said: "So now I am a little doubtful about the poems and songs corresponding to this module. Maybe I have to go to the Sweetwater Tribe to know which sentence it is. This means that the hidden ending in our eyes may actually be
The true ending to this mod! So..."
Before Ha Yi finished speaking, a ray of red light suddenly appeared in the sky and fell silently into the distance.
"That's the direction of the Sweetwater Tribe, right?"
Mo Jin frowned and said: "It seems that our guess is correct, so we have to quickly get in touch with the players on the opposite side and go find out!"
Ah Yi and the other three nodded, and then hurried down the mountain.
At this time, Liu Xing, who had adapted to his identity as a "camera", teleported directly to the old site of the Sweetwater Tribe with a thought and saw the burst of red light that had just landed.
A sword!
A sword whose specific material it is not clear because the sword fell directly into a deserted paddy field, so Liu Xing could only see its hilt clearly, and the sword body in the water could only be vaguely visible.
to describe it.
But this is not the point. The point is that among the people of Ayi and others, there are actually many people living in the Sweetwater Tribe that has become history, and it seems that they have settled here for many years.
And this sword falling from the sky also attracted the attention of the people around, and they came over to point at the sword.
What's happening here?
Liu Xing looked around and suddenly felt that everything in front of him seemed familiar. It seemed that he had been here before.
Poems and songs?
Um!
Liu Xing reacted immediately and remembered that a long, long time ago, when he first entered the world of poetry and poetry, he came to the page of "Mo Xiao Farmer's wax wine is muddy, and the good years bring enough chickens and dolphins",
In other words, we had a hearty meal in the village in front of us.
But that's all.
Is it such a coincidence?
Liu Xing thought about it carefully, and finally remembered that before he came to this village, or before the tribe, he first saw what was called "ancient vines and old trees, dusky crows", and then came here to eat on a running water mat, and then thought to himself
When I wanted to continue exploring, I found that there was a blank space in front of me, because the subsequent verses had been "torn" away.
But the most important thing is that Liu Xing heard the villagers mention a person at that time, that is, the author of this poem, Lu You, lived in Songshi City on the other side of the mountain!
At this time, Liu Xing also happened to know through the memory of "Liu Peng" that as long as he walked through the woods behind Tianshui Town and then crossed a few mountains, there would really be a pine stone city!
Moreover, Songshi City is also known as the city with the most cultural heritage in the Xinlong Empire, because Songshi City holds a cultural gathering every year, which attracts scholars from all over the Xinlong Empire to come and recite poems, write poems, and leave their own poems and songs!
And the organizer of this cultural gathering has always been the uncrowned king of Songshi City - the head of the Lu family!
Isn’t this right?
Thinking of this, Liu Xing's eyes suddenly darkened and he woke up directly.
Looking at the familiar ceiling, Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, then stood up and went to the hospital to find Liu Nan. From Liu Nan, he learned more about the situation of Songshi City and the Lu family, as well as the Lu family.
Does it have anything to do with Sweetwater Town?
The result was no surprise. Originally, the biggest customer of Tianshui Town was the Lu family of Songshi City, because how could the annual cultural gathering be without fine wine?
