Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, I am very sure that I did not hear the footsteps of the middle-aged housekeeper when he came. It felt like he suddenly appeared at the door... It seems that in this special module There may be more secrets than we think."

"Yes, I didn't hear the footsteps of the middle-aged housekeeper just now, but Liu Xing, please go to the second floor and call Alice to see if she is willing to go to the main castle for breakfast." Li Hanxing glanced at Said the second floor.

Just as Liu Xing was about to turn around and go upstairs, he saw Alice rubbing her eyes and pushing open her door.

"Why didn't you wake me up? When I was half asleep, I saw the sun outside the window, and it scared me awake." Alice complained.

Liu Xing shrugged and directly told Alice what had just happened.

"Two suns? This seems quite interesting, but it should be a hint that something beyond our imagination will happen in this mirage. These two suns are just an appetizer." Alice said while touching her chin.

Liu Xing nodded and asked: "Alice, do you plan to go to the main castle for breakfast? If you want to go, you have to hurry up. After all, it still takes a few minutes to get to the main castle from us."

"Of course I have to go. I suspect that this breakfast is the first test prepared by Mirage for us, because my title is only a knight. If I refuse to eat this breakfast without a suitable reason, it is very likely that I will Zum took advantage of it, and by the way, I now think that Zum should be our biggest enemy, because in his eyes, we distant relatives are just a group of greedy hyenas, and we all deserve to die!"

"Unless we are willing to be his subordinates and do what he says."

Li Hanxing shrugged and said with a wry smile: "So Alice, you'd better go there quickly. I think all the knights among the members of the public faction have already gone to the main castle. If you are the last one to go now and are still late, you may be Being put in small shoes by Zum.”

Alice smiled and nodded, then opened the door and walked towards the main castle.

After the three Liu Xings looked at each other, Liu Xing followed Alice obediently.

Although to be honest, Liu Xing actually didn’t want to follow Alice to the main castle. The reason was that Liu Xing was worried that members of the public faction would see him and Alice and conclude that Alice was not an NPC in this special module. .

At that time, Alice is likely to be targeted by members of the public faction.

However, Liu Xing also knew that the nobles in the Middle Ages were very particular about appearance, so he still had to be Alice's follower.

At this time, Alice had already grasped her figure, so she said without looking back: "Hey, Liu Xing, which camp do you think it would be better for us to join? I think if nothing else, we can meet at the dinner table later. Zum and the others should start the first round of confrontation. If we want to join a certain faction, we'd better make a choice at this time, so that we can have a certain say in this camp."

Liu Xing thought for a while and said: "I think it's better to wait and see what happens. At present, we don't know what this special module is about, so we can postpone it as long as we can today and wait until tomorrow. Make a decision."

As they talked, Liu Xing and Alice arrived at the gate of the main castle.

Fortunately, only the middle-aged housekeeper was waiting at the entrance of the main castle at this time, and no members of the public faction were seen.

"You go back first."

Alice also knew Liu Xing's thoughts very well, so she sent Liu Xing away directly in front of the middle-aged housekeeper.

Seeing this situation, the middle-aged butler bowed respectfully and said: "Miss Alice, Marquis Zum and the others are already in place. Please go to the banquet hall on the first floor to have dinner now. I will arrange for my servants to deliver the breakfast for you and your subordinates. of."

"Thank you very much."

Alice smiled and then walked straight to the banquet hall.

Just when Liu Xing was about to turn around and leave, he heard the middle-aged housekeeper stop him, "By the way, you guys will go to the stables after breakfast and get a horse for your Miss Alice, because Master Those knighthood medals may be hidden in the other two castles."

Two more castles?

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and felt that this was actually expected, because if this special module only had such a castle, then it would be hard to explain that Zum found nothing when he first searched the castle.

"Okay, but where is the stable?" Liu Xing asked politely.

The middle-aged butler pointed to the back of the main castle and said: "It's right behind. You just need to go around the main castle later to find the stables. After all, the smell of the stables is still very obvious, because the master liked riding horses very much when he was alive, so naturally He likes to collect all kinds of horses. Unfortunately, Marquis Zum was injured when he fell off a horse when he was young. Therefore, Marquis Zum was very resistant to riding horses, so he did not care about the good horses left by his father. No matter how important it is, this period of time has directly reduced the stable’s daily expenses by about half.”

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Butler, for your advice. I will go back first."

The middle-aged butler waved his hand and then entered the main castle on his own.

Liu looked at the back of the middle-aged butler with some confusion.

Because Liu Xing felt that the middle-aged housekeeper's attitude towards Zum was a bit strange.

Because Zum is the eldest son of Duke Gundogan, the middle-aged butler should call Zum the eldest son, but instead he calls Zum "Marquis Zum". This title is a bit too harsh. ?

After returning, Liu Xing told Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen about this problem.

"The butler's name for Zum is indeed a bit lively, or it is business-like, because now Duke Gundogan has passed away, and the whereabouts of the Duke's Medal are still unknown, so Zum is only a temporary member of this castle. Master, if someone else takes out the Duke Medal, then Zum will have no choice but to leave the castle in despair. By then, he will indeed be just a marquis in the eyes of the butler... So do you think there is such a thing? There is a possibility that in the hands of that steward there is a knighthood medal, or even a duke medal!" Li Hanxing suddenly slapped his thigh and said.

"Isn't this impossible? Although this middle-aged butler has a good status in this castle, he shouldn't be able to secretly hide Duke Gundogan's knighthood medal, right? After all, this is not one of the big names in ancient China. Eunuch." Liu Xing shook his head and said: "I think this butler may simply think that Zum has little chance of becoming a duke. He may be more optimistic about Conaway and Luoken."

"Not always."

Sun Huiwen said seriously: "Judging from Zum's appearance and figure, I think they should be around ten or twenty years old, so Duke Gundogan cannot be more than forty years old. After all, the ancient people were The average life expectancy is relatively low, which results in their marriage age being very early. Therefore, I think that the middle-aged butler is likely to be Duke Gundogan's former personal soldier. Don't forget that the middle-aged butler was able to sneak away just now. He touched the door of our house silently."

After hearing what Sun Huiwen said, Liu Xing recalled carefully and found that the middle-aged housekeeper seemed to be a personal soldier of Duke Gundogan, because his body and behavior were very much like a soldier.

"When we go to the stables later, we will see if there is a chance to ask someone about this middle-aged butler. If this middle-aged butler is really a soldier of Duke Gundogan, then this special module may be very interesting. "

Speaking of this, Li Hanxing showed a mysterious smile, "Perhaps the reason why Duke Gundogan's knighthood medals disappeared is not because Duke Gundogan died suddenly and did not have time to reveal the location where he hid his knighthood medals. , but because Duke Gundogan did it intentionally."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Li Hanxing, what you mean is that Duke Gundogan didn't want Zum to be his heir, so he teamed up with his former soldiers and the current housekeeper to hide those title medals. Are you going to wait until the last moment to hand over these knighthood medals to Conaway and the others?"

Li Hanxing nodded and said affirmatively: "Although Zum is the only son who accompanied Duke Gundogan on the battlefield, because he had a psychological shadow on horseback riding when he was young, I think Zum's performance on the battlefield It should be unsatisfactory, or even just to make soy sauce. After all, a noble like him should be a cavalry who takes the lead, but I think Zum will most likely just sit on the horse and show off. It really makes him Leading a charge is basically impossible.”

"So in addition to Zum's bad temper, it is possible that Duke Gundogan does not want Zum to inherit his position. After all, Duke Gundogan also made some mistakes when he was young. If his son If he chooses to 'solve' those mistakes because of his lifelong reputation, I think Duke Gundogan is very likely to jump out of the coffin board; so to sum up, Duke Gundogan is really possible to unite with his most trusted soldiers. The knighthood medal is hidden."

"Then who do you think Duke Gundogan is going to pass his position to?" Liu Xing asked.

Li Hanxing touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed: "Then I don't know for the time being, because we now have a certain understanding of Zum, but they still know very little about Conaway, and there is no analysis at all. There is room for him, but I think Duke Gundogan’s ideal successor is either Conaway or Roken, because Green and Yak’s origins predestined them to only serve as sidekicks.”

"Yes, if Yak or Green become Dukes, then there is a high probability that they will not see the sun the next day, because their foundation is too shallow, so Duke Gundogan will not let them go They are going to die, so we have to collect information about Conaway and Roken next.”

As soon as Sun Huiwen finished speaking, Liu Xing and others heard the footsteps of several people approaching from far away.

It seems that the person who delivered breakfast has arrived.

Sure enough, someone knocked on the door soon, and then Liu Xing and the other three got their breakfast - a freshly baked large bread that looked like it should be whole wheat.

Beyond that there is nothing.

Looking at the large piece of bread on the table that could be used directly as a pillow, Li Hanxing couldn't help complaining: "This Marquis Zum is so ungrateful. He just gives us this? It doesn't deserve some jam and honey, but he doesn't even have one." No pickles are given."

Sun Huiwen shook his head and said with a smile: "This is actually good. At least we are given whole wheat bread instead of that kind of black bread. The most important thing is that Li Hanxing, you should not forget the big one we used to eat." Lieba, right?"

When he heard the words "Da Lieba", Liu Xing noticed that Li Hanxing's face changed instantly.

Dalieba is a specialty staple food from Maozi. It is actually a relatively large bread. The most famous thing about Dalieba is that it is more suitable as a weapon than a baguette, and this is only the original version of Dalieba. If you switch to the war special edition, which is the legendary big Leba with sawdust added, that thing can be directly used as a tank's reactive armor.

Therefore, Liu Xing now doubts that Li Hanxing has eaten Dalieba with sawdust added.

Looking at Liu Xing's curious eyes, Sun Huiwen sighed and said: "When we first became mercenaries, our captain took us to Ermao's training camp. As a result, we encountered an unexpected situation and all our supplies were lost. And there are no people inhabited for hundreds of miles, so we can only imitate Mr. Bei and activate the wilderness survival mode. In the end, we don’t know whether our luck is good or bad. We actually found a warehouse left over from the Big Brother period, which contained A lot of food, including Dalieba.”

"The one with sawdust added?" Liu Xing said subconsciously.

At this time, Sun Huiwen also showed an unbearable expression, and said helplessly: "I don't know if those big ribs have sawdust, because they just look like the big ribs we have seen in movies and TV shows, and they taste good. It was like chewing a steel plate... Can you imagine how we felt after eating steel plates for five days? I felt like my teeth were shorter!"

Liu Xing thought for a while and suddenly felt that the big bread on the table became delicious.

Because they were not hungry, Liu Xing and the other three ate half of the bread, and then headed to the stables together.

Just as the middle-aged butler said, when Liu Xing and the other two arrived at the back of the main castle, they could smell a faint smell.

Li Hanxing covered his nose and said with some disgust: "It seems that Zum has really reduced the funding for the stables. Logically speaking, as long as there are enough people and better fodder, the stables will not be so smelly."
