Zhang Jingxu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The fake Shen Aotian must have run away, because Liu Xing and you guys haven't come back for a long time, so the fake Shen Aotian took a few of you with him on the pretext of looking for you. The guards went in the direction you left."
At this time, Rodriguez frowned and said with some suspicion: "Wait a minute, Liu Xing, are you really sure that this is the real Shen Aotian?"
Shen Aotian laughed and said, "Mr. Rodriguez, do you still remember my cousin?"
When Rodriguez heard what Shen Aotian said, he immediately nodded and said, "It seems that you are the real Shen Aotian, otherwise you wouldn't know about this."
People are very gossipy creatures, so Liu Xing and others looked at Rodriguez with curiosity, wanting to know the story between him and Shen Aotian's cousin.
Rodriguez is also an upright person, so he said readily: "This is not a shameful thing. When I first arrived in Blacksmith Village to take up a post, the Shen family, the first family in Blacksmith Village, invited me to attend. At a banquet, I fell in love with Shen Aotian's cousin at first sight, so I went to Shen Aotian to ask about his cousin. Unfortunately, Shen Aotian's cousin was already engaged at the time, so the matter was settled. , and only Shen Aotian and I know about this matter, so I can now be sure that he is the real Shen Aotian."
"Oh, I just heard from Mr. Liu Xing and the others that all my family members have died violent deaths. Now our Shen family can be said to be ruined. How can we be the first family in Blacksmith Village?" Shen Aotian smiled bitterly. Shaked his head.
Rodriguez sighed, patted Shen Aotian on the shoulder and said: "Shen Aotian, you are now the head of the Shen family, and the foundation of your Shen family has not been greatly affected. In the future, you must It can revive the Shen family."
Shen Aotian shook his head and said: "Thank you Mr. Rodriguez for your comfort, but I know very well that I am not a business material, so the Shen family will inevitably decline in my hands. If it weren't for my eldest brother back then, Even if I get rid of my second brother by tricking him, I won't become the head of the Shen family."
Liu Xing and others once again aimed their gossipy eyes at Shen Aotian.
Shen Aotian sighed again and said seriously: "I believe that Mr. Liu Xing, you all know about my second brother. At the beginning, he planned to murder my eldest brother. He specially invited my eldest brother outside a tavern on a rainy night, and then He planned to attack my eldest brother with one of his followers. It turned out that the follower of my second brother was actually an undercover agent sent by my eldest brother, so my second brother was directly killed. However, in order to conceal the matter, my eldest brother sent that The undercover was dealt with, so it became the thing you know now."
"As for why I knew about this matter, it was because the undercover agent under my eldest brother also knew my eldest brother's character, so before the incident happened, he asked a friend of his to keep a letter in which I was recorded. The eldest brother asked him to work as an undercover agent for my second brother, and then his friend gave the letter to my father before he decided to choose the head of the family, so my father handed over the position of head of the family to me. But I still asked my eldest brother to take charge of a blacksmith shop."
I see.
"By the way, are we still going after the fake Shen Aotian now?" Zhang Jingxu said suddenly.
Rodriguez shook his head, sighed and said: "If it were before the "Horse Riding Prohibition Law", we could try to chase the fake Shen Aotian, but now we have no way to chase him. Let’s get to the fake Shen Aotian. After all, he has been gone for almost half an hour now, and there is a high probability that someone will go to pick him up. But we still have to bring back Shen Dazhuang’s body, and take my few Bring back my brother’s body as well.”
Liu Xing and others all knew that the guards who left with the fake Shen Aotian were probably in danger now.
So, Rodriguez sent another team to follow Liu Xing and others, and went to the cliff to bring back Shen Dazhuang's body.
However, what surprised Liu Xing and others was that the guards who left with the fake Shen Aotian were also at the bottom of the cliff.
According to the stories of the guards, after the fake Shen Aotian brought them here, he made an excuse to go back and bring more people to look for the "missing" Liu Xing and others, and then disappeared.
Of course, Liu Xing and others have no obsession with the fake Shen Aotian. It would be good to catch him, but it would not be a big deal if they fail to catch him.
After all, a series of incidents in the Blacksmith Village have been resolved.
After Liu Xing and others returned to the blacksmith village, they received a report from the chief steward of the Shen family. When they were planning to move the body of the second steward, they discovered the stolen materials from a blacksmith shop in the abandoned house. The fake Shen Aotian didn't have time to transfer those materials to other places.
Although Shen Aotian, who officially became the head of the Shen family, was a little unsure, he still stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation and asked a blacksmith shop to build weapons and equipment for Liu Xing and others to fight against Bahamut. However, because these weapons and equipment were still It took three days to complete, so Liu Xing and others continued to rest at the Yuelai Inn.
After dinner, Liu Xing and others went back to their rooms to rest... Of course, Liu Xing and others gathered in Ding Kun's room half an hour later, because Ding Kun's room was not close to Zhang Jingxu and others. The room is the furthest away.
"The mission in Blacksmith Village seems quite complicated, but in fact it is very simple to complete. However, this is probably just an appetizer. The subsequent mission in Guangming City is the real difficulty." Yin Entuo He said while holding his chin.
Zhang Wenbing leaned back in his chair and said with some worry: "Judging from the current situation, Guangming City's mission is likely to be related to the plague. I just don't know what the specific requirements of this mission are. If we are asked to eliminate the plague, I think we can abandon this module directly, after all, the current medical level on this continent is not enough to solve a large-scale plague, don’t you think so, Liu Xing.”
Liu Xing nodded and said: "There are more types of plagues than you think. All diseases that can spread quickly among humans can be called plagues. The common ones are smallpox, tuberculosis, and avian influenza." Wait, these plagues would be a big trouble in modern society, let alone on this continent that is on par with medieval Europe."
"So Liu Xing, as a doctor, do you have any way to treat these plagues?" Yin En said with a smile.
Liu Xing quickly shook his head and said affirmatively: "Of course I have no way to cure these plagues. After all, although I have been exposed to plague-related knowledge in college, because those are not the test points, I basically can't." I just forgot about it after reading it, not to mention that I studied Chinese medicine, and I’m afraid I can’t find any Chinese medicine on this continent, so if Guangming City’s mission is to prevent and control the plague, then I can provide some suggestions.”
Since Liu Xing said so, Yin En changed the subject and said, "By the way, Brother Ding, how were you sure that that person was the real Shen Aotian?"
Ding Kun nodded and said with a smile: "My character card has a special skill - Observation of Motive and Color. To put it simply, it can determine whether the other party is lying through observation. By the way, it can also determine the physical condition of the other party, so I discovered at that time that Shen Aotian was not lying, and that his mental and physical condition was also very poor, so I was sure that he had been malnourished for a long time. He had indeed been locked up there for a long time, so I was sure He is not a serial trick used by Bahamut believers."
Liu Xing looked at Ding Kun with some envy, because Ding Kun's special skill can be said to be a high-end version of psychological skills, at least much better than Liu Xing's random cloak and staff technique.
"By the way, do you think Cai Gouzi and Bell are also believers of Bahamut? After all, they came to see us with the fake Shen Aotian, so maybe they are also believers of Bahamut. ." Yin En raised another question.
Liu Xing shook his head and said: "I am certain that Bell is definitely not a believer of Bahamut, because according to the background setting of this module, all believers of the gods must have a pious heart and have 100% faith in what they worship. God, so Bell who believes in the goddess Nayak must not believe in Bahamut, otherwise he will definitely be punished by the goddess Nayak... But I still want to complain, Zhang Jingxu actually treated Nayak Latotip is regarded as a goddess, this is really awesome."
"As for Cai Gouzi, I remember that assassins like them will believe in the God of Shadows in order to obtain the stealth ability granted to them by the God of Shadows, so that they can be regarded as qualified assassins. However, Cai Gouzi's fighting style is really not Like an assassin, but like a berserker, so I think I have reason to suspect that Cai Gouzi is not a real assassin, so he does not believe in the God of Shadows, then he has faith in Bahamut It’s possible.”
Everyone agreed with this.
"In this way, we only need to be vigilant about Cai Gouzi now, and we can also find opportunities for Cai Gouzi to perform stealth skills. If he can use stealth skills, then we can trust him. ." Yin En said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Liu Xing and others went back to their rooms to rest. After all, the mission of the Blacksmith Village had been completed, and there was nothing to discuss now.
Three days later, Liu Xing and others got their weapons and equipment from a blacksmith shop.
Liu Xing successfully updated the wooden staff in his hand and obtained an alloy staff that could increase the damage of the Chaos Cloak Staff to 1d5+3. However, the subsequent negative effect was that every time Liu Xing used Chaos,
Each time you use the cloak and staff spell, you will lose 2 HP points...
In addition, Liu Xing also received a special priest's robe, but currently it has no use except to look good, because this special priest's robe needs to be blessed (consecrated) by the Guangming Cathedral before he can bring it with him.
A magic shield.
Then Liu Xing also got a magic gem that can store his excess MP. This magic gem can theoretically store 100 MP points. However, when the MP stored in this magic gem exceeds 40 points, it will enter an unstable state.
Magic gems in an unstable state will have a certain chance of backlash when MP is extracted, causing certain damage to the player who extracted MP.
The most important thing is that the introduction to the magic gem does not mention what the "certain" value is, so Liu Xing has decided to store 40 MP points in this magic gem just to be on the safe side, and never risk storing more.
MP, because Liu Xing knew that with the consistent style of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, if he dared to store 100 MP points in this magic gem, it would directly destroy him.
As for the weapons and equipment obtained by Zhang Jingxu and others, they are similar to those of Liu Xing. They either need to go to Guangming Cathedral and get blessings to be able to exert their due effect, or they are a double-edged sword that can damage the enemy by one thousand and damage itself by eight hundred.
.
This is very Cthulhu.
After obtaining weapons and equipment, Liu Xing and others decisively said goodbye to Shen Aotian and Rodriguez, preparing to leave the "flavorful" place of Blacksmith Village.
As a result, Shen Aotian still sat next to Liu Xing on the oxcart leaving the blacksmith village.
Because all his immediate family members had died, and a blacksmith shop had been handed over to the state, Shen Aotian forcibly passed the position of head of the Shen family to one of his cousins, and then applied to join Zhang Jingxu's brave team.
.
Zhang Jingxu, who never refuses anyone, naturally agreed to Shen Aotian's application, and Shen Aotian became the team chef "again" for Liu Xing and others.
Originally, Liu Xing and others were worried that Shen Aotian might be a follower of Bahamut and would poison the food of his group. However, after leaving the blacksmith village for a meal, Liu Xing and others could only think about
I added two words - it smells so good.
After observing Shen Aotian for a week, Liu Xing and others finally determined that there was nothing wrong with Shen Aotian and officially accepted Shen Aotian as his teammate.
However, Liu Xing and others, who had been riding the bullock cart for a week, also began to miss the inn in Blacksmith Village. After all, the bullock carts these days did not have any shock absorbers.
The most important thing is that when Liu Xing and others settled in a village, they asked how long it would take to get to Guangming City from here. The answer they got made Liu Xing and others feel desperate - three months!
That night, Liu Xing and others gathered together again to discuss an issue, that is, whether to give up treatment and commit suicide to end this module.
Liu Xing and others are really exhausted both physically and mentally now.
