Real Cthulhu Running Game

Lao Wu saw that Liu Xing and others seemed to be quite interested in the story he was telling, so he mustered up the courage to continue: "Of course, although our family has not attended such an occasion for a long time, but the people here We are very clear about the rules, so we plan to use a treasure obtained by our Ouchi family during its heyday as a bargaining chip in this transaction."

Hearing what Lao Wu said, Liu Xing and others became even more interested, because the Ouchi family was very prosperous at its peak, and could be said to be one of the most powerful forces in the island country at that time, so at that time the Ouchi family was very prosperous. The treasures that the inner family can obtain should not be ordinary.

Seeing the reaction of Liu Xing and others, Lao Wu immediately decided to strike while the iron was hot. He stopped trying to argue with Liu Xing and others and took out a small flat box directly from his pocket. It seemed that this treasure was not big. It should be a ring. kind of jewelry.

"When our Ouchi family was at its peak, the surrounding daimyo would often give us something. This treasure was sent by the pirates from the Murakami family."

Lao Wu sighed and continued: "When our Ouchi family was strong, we were very strict with the pirates of the Murakami family. Unexpectedly, after the Tao family seized the power of our Ouchi family, the Murakami family immediately They followed the Maori family to cause trouble for us, and I heard that after the Murakami family followed the Maori family and defeated us, they immediately planned to ask us to get this treasure back. But fortunately, this treasure was taken back by us before that. We took it away, and the Murakami family didn't seem to want to let the Mori family know that we had this treasure, so this treasure has always been in our hands."

"Since this treasure was sent by the Murakami family, it should be related to the deep divers in the water, right? Or maybe they snatched it from a certain trade fleet?" Yin En couldn't help but ask.

The Murakami family was originally one of the most famous families in the island country. However, due to some reasons, they were sent to a small fishing village and became a small and unpopular family. They could only make a living on a few islands. As a result, as the island country and other As the country's commercial exchanges increased, the number of pirates in the island country also increased. With their reputation at the time, the Murakami family quickly gathered a group of people to form a "Navy Army", which was actually a group of pirates.

Because the daimyo of the island nation at that time basically focused their attention on land, and it would cost a lot of money to build a qualified warship. The most important thing is that the warship must be large-scale before it can exert its application. It had some effects, so there were not many daimyo who could own a decent fleet at that time. Therefore, the Murakami family quickly grew and had tens of thousands of combatants.

Although there is a lot of water among the tens of thousands of combat personnel here, firstly, it is because many old, weak, sick and disabled people who are only stationed on the island to wash and cook are counted as combatants. Secondly, the Murakami family puts it bluntly. A pirate alliance, most of the pirates just obeyed the orders of the Murakami family and did not accept the management of the Murakami family. Therefore, the trends of the Murakami family and the Ouchi family were similar. After a period of prosperity, they soon fell into decline, and they are still there now. Little known.

However, this does not prevent Liu Xing and others from being interested in the treasures presented to the Ouchi family by the Murakami family. After all, the Murakami family makes a living at sea, and the treasures they can obtain are nothing more than from the water, or from island countries. "Get" from the merchant ship while doing business.

It's okay to say that the ones in the water are probably related to deep divers. After all, there have been many deep divers in the island country from ancient times to the present; but what worries Liu Xing and others even more is that if this treasure is Murakami's If the family obtained it from a certain trading fleet, it would be even more interesting.

Because among the many parallel worlds in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, almost 90% of parallel worlds such as "Columbus's discovery of the New World" and "Magellan's voyage around the world" have various mythical creatures behind them. .

To put it simply, without the support of this group of mythical creatures, the global integration process of these parallel worlds may still be delayed for hundreds of years. As for why these mythical creatures support mankind in moving towards the Age of Discovery, it is unclear. Got it.

Because this group of mythical creatures really don't ask for anything in return, it feels like they just want to connect humans all over the world, sparing no effort to help humans move from land to sea.

Regarding this issue, players in the Cthulhu Game Hall have listed it as one of the "Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries in the Cthulhu Game Hall", along with "Who is the boss of the Cthulhu Game Hall?" juxtaposed.

But the most interesting point in this question is that the mythical creatures that supported mankind's entry into the Age of Discovery were not just deep divers, but also mythical creatures such as ghouls, Byakki, and Yithians. Contributed.

This seems even more strange, after all, these mythical creatures rarely "cooperate" together.

Therefore, some people speculate that the man behind all this is most likely Nyarlathotep, the scapegoat we are most familiar with.

By the way, most of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the Cthulhu Game Hall are guessed to be related to Nyarlathotep.

It can really be said that Nyarlathotep is like a brick, moved wherever needed, either taking the blame or on the way to take the blame.

However, Liu Xing and others felt that Nyarlathotep was really related to this matter. After all, he wanted to command so many mythical creatures at the same time. Old rulers like Cthulhu and Hastur must be It can't be done, so through a simple elimination method, only Nyarlathotep, Shub Nicholas and Yog-Sothoth, the outside gods, can do this.

Among the three pillars of the Cthulhu mythology, the only one who has reason to do so is Nyarlathotep, because Shub Nicholas does not care about these issues, and she usually It's quite busy, and although the knowledge Yog-Sothoth provides to his followers also contains a lot of navigation knowledge, most of the believers who receive the knowledge will immediately go crazy at the time. After all, the amount of information is really huge. too big. . . As for the remaining tenth, they were simply stupid.

As for why Nyarlathotep did this, it was because it thought it would be "fun". This is also the main reason why Nyarlathotep takes the blame so easily.

Of course, what happened to mankind after entering the Age of Discovery was indeed very "interesting" from Nyarlathotep's perspective. What happened to the entire human world in just a few hundred years has already Far more than the previous thousands of years.

Whether these things are good or bad.

Back to the topic, these mythical creatures can be said to have taken great pains to support humans to go out and "explore" the ocean. They will not only provide navigators with initial funds and navigation technology, but may also transform themselves into sailors to help. Of course, what makes Liu Xing and others the most What people are interested in are the various magic props "given" to navigators by mythical creatures, such as special sails that can ensure that ships can effectively use the wind to accelerate, or various tools that can weaken the power of the storm that is forming in the surrounding sea area. A variety of ornaments, as well as decorations that can invisibly improve the morale of the crew, etc.

The decorations here may be the decorative sword hanging on the captain's waist, or the ring on the first mate's hand, or more likely a navigation-specific amulet that a crew member bought from a stall before going to sea.

All in all, those mythical creatures had already made clear arrangements for the crew back then.

Therefore, whether the treasure that Lao Wu is about to "give" to his group is obtained from the deep divers or "taken" from an unlucky fleet that year, it should be a good prop.

At this time, Lao Wu finally opened the small box under the curious eyes of Liu Xing and others. Inside the small box was a bracelet, which seemed to be made of crystal.

The moment they saw this crystal bracelet, Liu Xing and others knew that this thing must have been ripped off by a certain crew member by the Murakami pirates.

I don’t know if this crystal bracelet came from that mythical creature.

If it was passed down from the hands of humanoid mythical creatures such as deep divers, ghouls, and Bayaki, then the representative significance of this crystal bracelet would exceed its actual significance, because the pirates active in that era were not just humans. For example, those inexplicable shipwrecks that so far cannot find a reasonable reason are most likely the work of deep diver pirates. Therefore, this crystal bracelet is equivalent to a radio transmitting device, continuously sending messages to the surroundings, so that Deep Diver pirates or other mythical creatures who have received the message should not trouble the ship. At the same time, let the surrounding companions determine the location and situation of the ship, so that they can personally appear to solve the problem when necessary.

Then there are the high-tech mythical creatures such as Yis and Mi. Go. If they give out such a crystal bracelet, then this crystal bracelet is likely to hide a small and transparent atmospheric interference device, which can make nearby thunderstorms Clouds dissipate faster.

As for the last one, it is also the type of crystal bracelet that Liu Xing and others want to get the most, which is the enhanced crystal bracelet that can only be made by existences above the elder level among certain mythical creatures. The effect of this kind of crystal bracelet is in the eyes of the crew at the time. It's very metaphysical. Simply put, it can improve their luck, which is the so-called lucky charm.

Of course, some enhanced crystal bracelets can also enhance the wearer's other attributes, such as intelligence, strength, etc., and some can even increase the upper limit of sanity!

Therefore, many players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby will deliberately go to the main ports of the Age of Discovery, with the goal of triggering the corresponding modules to obtain this type of power-up items.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing had to feel depressed about his current status again, because if he were still a player, he could directly check the introduction of this crystal bracelet now.

Therefore, Liu Xing could only say: "Lao Wu, can you tell us the origin of your crystal bracelet? I believe you should already know the effect of this crystal bracelet, right?"

Lao Wu nodded and handed the crystal bracelet to Liu Xing, "If you look carefully, you will find that there are some unknown symbols engraved on the inside of this crystal bracelet. It is said that these symbols should be the words of some kind of mythical creature. So this crystal bracelet should belong to the category of magic props, but for the sailors of the fleet and the pirates of the Murakami family, it was just a piece of exquisitely crafted jewelry, so this crystal bracelet fell to us step by step. In the hands of the Ouchi family.”

After Liu Xing took the crystal bracelet, he pretended to look at it. Indeed, he could see that there were some symbols in the crystal bracelet that he could not understand. If he were not a person who knew the truth about the world, he would probably attribute these symbols to nature. form.

But Liu Xing could only see so much, so Liu Xing only took a few glances and planned to hand the crystal bracelet to Zhang Jingxu next to him.

What Liu Xing didn't expect was that as soon as he reached out, a hand suddenly appeared from behind and snatched away the crystal bracelet.

Because Liu Xing walked into the tent with Lao Wu, Liu Xing could clearly see Zhang Jingxu and others from his current position!

There's an extra person in the tent!

No, there must be an extra person behind him!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly turned around and found an acquaintance standing behind him - Shi Zixuan.

Looking at the smiling Master Zixuan, Liu Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He also guessed why there was an extra person behind him. Zhang Jingxu and others standing opposite him did not give him any hint. It turned out to be because he was coming. One of our own.

And with Master Zixuan's skill, it is indeed possible to appear quietly behind him.

In addition, Liu Xing also guessed why Shi Zixuan appeared here. She was probably sent to "take away" the horseshoe and small hammer in the hands of the public faction.

As for Lao Wu, he was quite frightened by Master Zixuan this time. After all, no one wants someone to suddenly appear behind them, and there is no sound at all.

"This crystal bracelet should have been made by a powerful ghoul, because it was not easy to make a crystal bracelet purely by hand in that era. After all, crystal is very brittle. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted, and something like this can The crystals on which the runes are engraved are of very high quality, so mythical creatures like ghouls that live underground can be easily found, but the most important thing is that the runes engraved in this crystal bracelet come from the ghoul family."

Shi Zixuan smiled and said: "This crystal bracelet looks like it is for women, so can you give this crystal bracelet to me?"
