The Duke of York wanted to turn all the people of Victoria's free cities into slaves.
This is not something that can be done just by talking. First of all, there is an agreement between him and Victoria.
The leader of Victoria, the "mayor" in the Duke of York's words, is Lilo, who claims the title of duke. Regardless of whether this title is valid or not, if you take action against a land-owning lord at will, you will give up a lot of excuses.
At that time, various reasons for declaring war will emerge, and a siege network may even be formed.
The Duke of York absolutely did not want to try the feeling of tearing apart the siege fence with his hands, so he needed a legitimate reason to declare war that would leave no loopholes for anyone to exploit.
Being humiliated is obviously the most appropriate reason to declare war.
"You guys go down first, I will never let Victoria go easily."
The Duke of York first calmed down the emotions of the insulted knights, and then
"Pass the news of the knight's humiliation to all territories in the kingdom, and send another wave of knights to give Victoria a final warning. You know how to do the rest."
"I understand, Your Majesty the Duke of York!"
The aide quickly showed an understanding expression and then retreated.
The Duke of York sat alone behind the table with a sinister smile, and looked at the corner of the room, where a maid was sitting on a small stool doing laundry in extremely conservative clothes.
The maid shed tears of humiliation.
Arthur was not very clear about the requirements of the mission. Because it was an adventure mission, there was no mission guide, reward description, etc. Cherry just asked him to follow him all the way, and then went to the post office, teahouse, and several other small towns.
Entertainment venues on the Internet, such as children's entertainment cities, shopping malls, kindergartens, etc.
Of course, I went to the post office to confirm the specific situation of the letter that no one checked. Just like what Chuhe said, the letter was delivered here a few days ago, and there was no sender or recipient. It was like it came out of thin air.
It appeared the same and was later discovered by Hoe He.
After confirming this, Cherry confirmed one thing:
The person who put this letter in the post office must be someone from a distant town! Not only that, this person has not left the town yet!
Hearing that Cherry had come to this conclusion, Arthur was a little surprised and asked instinctively:
"Why?"
After asking Arthur, he felt a little regretful. Suddenly asking an NPC about the plot was a bit redundant no matter how he thought about it.
But Cherry still answered Arthur's question very seriously:
"Good question. According to my reasoning, it took less than five days for the letter to be delivered to the post office. And according to the letter, it suddenly appeared in the post office without the recipient or sender, so it must be someone from a distant town.
It was left at the post office! As for why this one hasn’t been left yet, is that one in its active period now? Normally no one would come over specially, right? So it was someone from the small town who left it at the post office. It had only been five days, and there was no time to pack up the things at home.
Leave, as for why I have to pack my things, this is my intuition, he must not have left! This is my intuition!"
Although what Cherry said was reasoning at the beginning, it turned into intuition for some reason later on, but Arthur didn't think much about it. Maybe this was the character of this NPC.
After a day of investigating outside, there was no harvest. No one in the entire distant town knew what was recorded in these diaries, the letters, or even when the caravan from Winterfell came.
I don’t know. When I was asked, I could only answer while trying to remember:
"During the dormant period here, there are usually a lot of tourists here. No one would notice the sudden arrival of 2,500 people."
This is roughly the answer. It is obvious that Cherry's investigation is in a desperate situation, and it seems that the clues are about to be interrupted.
The more Cherry thought about it, the more headache she felt, so she decided to make a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea to wake her up. But it was already time to get off work, so Cherry didn't let Arthur work overtime, so he asked Arthur to go back first.
Arthur, who had been following the NPC around all day, didn't get any rewards. The most important thing was that the plot didn't seem to make any progress, but was stuck.
Could this be a fake adventure mission?
Other players also thought the same, and they stood outside the guard team and discussed.
Some of these players are members of the [Pioneer Alliance] guild, but most of them are players who are interested in the plot of the game. They are committed to promoting the development of the plot and looking for more adventure missions. Of course, if they can get some good equipment, what?
That's the best thing.
When the players saw Cherry planning to get off work, they also planned to leave. But at this moment, several players suddenly shouted:
"There's someone in the office! There's Cherry in the office!"
The players were quickly attracted by the shouting, and sure enough they saw a goblin sneaking into the vacant office not long after Cherry and Arthur left.
If someone hadn't been staring intently at the office, they might not have noticed this at all.
Arthur, who had just left not long ago, rushed back and saw the goblin in the office holding the diary, and the diary was burning!
"Fuck! He's going to destroy our adventure props!"
I don't know who shouted, and soon another player rushed forward and swooped towards the goblin. To be precise, towards the burning diary in his hand.
Obviously, this diary is the key. Although I don’t know why this goblin did this, he obviously knows the existence of the diary, and may even know where the Winterfell caravan is going!
Thinking of the sophisticated equipment worn by the caravan guards who betrayed Winterfell, the players' eyes turned red. They couldn't care less about the guards who were blocking them, and rushed towards the goblin.
"Catch them alive!"
"Don't kill him! Interrogate him!"
"Save the diary quickly!"
A group of players shouted, but the next second, the goblin's skin suddenly turned red, and then it exploded under the heavy surround of players.
【boom!】
Cherry was originally a little confused and didn't know what was going on. When she heard the players shouting that the goblin was burning important evidence diaries, Cherry's head buzzed and she realized it!
There is a breakthrough! It’s really me!
Cherry thought so, and wanted to rush in and get the diary back quickly, and study it carefully. Obviously, the breakthrough lies in the diary!
But he thought simply, but there was no way to break through the wall of players.
The players were rushing into the office like crazy. Cherry had no idea at all. He even couldn't help throwing the hot bloody chrysanthemum tea in his hand, trying to find an empty path.
But those players who were splashed with boiling water continued to crowd in like no one else.
The sudden explosion and the sweeping heat wave pushed the cherry out.
Cherry hit the wall, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart. When he slowly got up, the office in front of him had become a ruin, and because of those players blocking it and blocking Cherry
position, so there is no damage to the cherry.
As for the players, they suffered heavy casualties, and the entire scene was wailing.
"Damn it! Why did it explode again! Equipment! My equipment!"
"It's so tragic. Fortunately, I ran slowly, otherwise my equipment would be ruined."
"Look for that diary quickly!"
"Look for a chicken, it's all blown up like this, there's no book left!"
Those players who survived shouted this.
Cherry's ears were buzzing. A colleague came over to help him up, and a vague voice came from his ears:
"Cherry! Cherry! What happened! Are you okay!"
Cherry was in a daze for a moment before he came to his senses. He looked at his colleagues and then at the players, and he understood in his heart at that time
It was the people of the underground city of the eternal kingdom who saved me!
