Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Oh? Where does Prince Norton come from?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

Ricky shook his head and said with a smile: "You are a foreigner, so maybe you don't know that America also had an emperor, right?"

"What? America has an emperor? Is your royal family here?" Liu Xing asked in surprise.

Ricky smiled again and continued: "Logically speaking, America does not have a royal family, and naturally there is no emperor. However, there is a saying that it can be done without prohibition by law, so judging from the relevant laws currently used by America, In other words, anyone can declare himself the emperor of America. Of course, you don’t know if anyone will listen to you, and you can’t mobilize much power. However, in San Francisco for more than a hundred years, there once was a man named Norton. A man called himself an emperor, so he was naturally regarded as a joke by everyone at the beginning."

"However, the venerable His Majesty Norton I has gained the respect of most people with his charisma and unparalleled action. Therefore, the local people in San Francisco have gradually acquiesced in His Majesty Norton I's status as emperor, and even the San Francisco garrison and official personnel all swore allegiance to His Majesty Norton I. Of course, His Majesty Norton I never asked these people to do things for him. The two sides maintained a subtle tacit understanding; so later, even Lincoln recognized His Majesty Norton I as emperor. And when registering his identity, His Majesty Norton I was the only one who could officially fill in the name of the emperor as his occupation."

"To be honest, if I had lived in that era, I would have respected His Majesty Norton I, because he seemed a little crazy and thought of himself as the emperor of America all day long, but His Majesty Norton I did what most people did. Although he enjoyed all kinds of free services provided by people around him, he also became the spiritual totem of San Francisco at the time, making San Francisco the most civilized city in America at the time, and he proposed a series of The suggestion was also far ahead of the times, making us modern people think that he might be a time traveler. All in all, His Majesty Norton I was a respectable person, so when he passed away, the whole of San Francisco mourned him..."

Ricky looked at Norton and said with some emotion: "Can you imagine that in America at that time, there would be someone worthy of everyone in a city putting aside their identities and standing on both sides of the road to see her off? And in Norton A total solar eclipse occurred the day after His Majesty I's death, which would have been worthy of special mention by historians in ancient times; and the Norton I bonds, which were only worth a few dollars at the time, are now worth tens of thousands of dollars."

"His Majesty Norton I is indeed a respectable person, so is Prince Norton his descendant?" Liu Xing continued to ask.

Ricky shook his head and said with a smile: "His Majesty Norton I has never married, because everyone thinks that His Majesty Norton I's status is too noble. How can ordinary people be worthy of him? Of course, the main reason is His Majesty Norton. He was a businessman back then, but ended up bankrupt due to investment failure. Then he went to live in seclusion for a period of time. That's why when he announced that he was the Emperor of America, he was regarded as a madman. Waiting for Norton I When His Majesty gained everyone's love, he was already in his forties, so the marriage problem of Norton I seemed a bit embarrassing."

"In the end, some people who like to live happily suggested that His Majesty Norton I should propose to Queen Elizabeth, who was also not yet married. After all, His Majesty Norton I was a good match as the emperor of America. It is said that the love letter written by His Majesty Norton I was written by Mark Twain. Yes, because Mark Twain and His Majesty Norton I were door-to-door neighbors. Unfortunately, as you now know, Queen Elizabeth is not married yet; but seeing Prince Norton and Elizabeth standing together today is also a special kind of thing. It’s a dream come true.”

"Because His Majesty Norton I was also unmarried, he naturally had no direct descendants. However, His Majesty Norton I had many relatives, and Prince Norton was the descendant of His Majesty Norton I's cousin. So Prince Norton came to Miskatonic University After taking office, he was affectionately called Prince Norton. Some people even hoped that Prince Norton could go a step further and directly ascend the throne to become Norton II. This is actually feasible. After all, America is the only one who has received official certification so far. The only emperor is Norton I, and according to the general order of succession to the throne, Prince Norton is qualified to inherit the throne."

"It's a pity that Prince Norton didn't have this idea, but he still became the most respected professor at Miskatonic University like his ancestors, so his reputation is higher than the current president. Of course, his ability It’s also very good. Although he is a teacher who specializes in astrology, he is also proficient in herbalism and alchemy, so he is also known as the first assistant of Miskatonic University, so he can serve as our expedition team this time. The captain is also good news for us, and it can also be seen that the mission of our expedition team is more inclined to assist the previous expedition team."

Hearing what Ricky said, Liu Xing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, because if the main mission with so many players is focused on combat, then you don't have to think about it, and you know that the enemies that will appear will be very powerful, both in terms of quantity and quality. superior.

At this time, the broadcast in the cabin also began to announce that the plane was about to take off, so Liu Xing and others quickly fastened their seat belts.

Because the Kingdom of Earthsea is not far from America, Liu Xing and others quickly arrived at the only airport in the Kingdom of Earthsea, and then got into the pickup truck that had been prepared.

In these places that have been abandoned by the times, pickup trucks are already the best means of transportation. . . However, Liu Xing, who was sitting in the cargo bed, felt that the pickup truck might not be much smaller than him, because the pickup truck had been making some disturbing noises since it started moving. . .

Fortunately, the pickup truck did not abandon the truck before arriving at its destination. This made Liu Xing and others lament their good luck, because more than half of the dozen pickup trucks traveling with them broke down.

"This pit is indeed a bit big, but it is quite outrageous that the previous expedition team could fall into it."

Liu Xing visually inspected the diameter of the pit. It was probably more than a hundred meters, and the depth was about fifteen meters. Logically speaking, everyone in the pit should be able to climb up, but I don't know why. The soil at the edge of the pit is very loose, so if someone wants to use force to climb up, they will lose their grip after a few times. Therefore, it is not easy to climb out of the pit without using external force.

"This should be a trap left by that ancient civilization. After it is detected that the number of people in the pit exceeds a certain number, the soil in the pit will instantly become desertified, so the people in the pit will jump before they have time to react. If they go down, it will be difficult for these people to climb up again, but as long as the people in the big pit dig in a certain direction, they should be able to dig out normal land soon, and it will be much easier to come up by then." Yin En said said.

Because players such as Liu Xing are mercenaries to put it bluntly, they naturally began to take charge of some physical work, such as laying strong enough wooden stakes in suitable places, then tying ropes and putting them into the pit to allow the previous expedition team to escape. Escaped the sea of ​​suffering and breathed fresh air. . . After all, the big pit is also a relatively closed space, so with so many people eating, drinking, and defecating in it, the smell must be indispensable.

At this time, the members of the expedition team who had fallen behind because the pickup truck broke down also arrived at the scene. The two expedition teams were finally reunited, and the new expedition team was still headed by Norton. After all, Ricky had said that Norton was in Mies. Catonic University has a high reputation, so no one will compete with Norton for the leadership of this new expedition.

Because it was already midnight, Norton announced that everyone should take a rest first, so Liu Xing and others each received a sleeping bag and found a suitable place to sleep.

As a result, as soon as Liu Xing closed his eyes, he saw Sirius!

That's right, although Liu Xing closed his eyes, Sirius appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes in the next second, and judging from the background, this seemed to be Sirius's soul box.

"Long time no see, my friend."

Sirius smiled and said, "Congratulations on regaining your body. I thought you couldn't defeat Tennar."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, not knowing how Sirius recognized him, but considering that he was in a soul state when he saw Sirius before, it is understandable for Sirius to say so now, but Liu Xing cares more How did Sirius meet Turnall.

Sirius saw through Liu Xing's thoughts at a glance, so he said with a smile: "I have met Turner before, so adhering to the plan of betting on both ends, Turner and I also had some in-depth exchanges, but I To tell you the truth, Tenal and I are simply using each other, so now that you have solved the problem of Tenal, I am still willing to continue to cooperate with you. Of course, I have not forgotten to give you a benefit. .”

Having said this, Tener took out a key, but this key looked a bit strange, more like a ruler with complex patterns, and when Liu Xing took the key, it directly transformed into A ray of light disappeared, but the detailed composition of the key also appeared in Liu Xing's mind.

"This is the key to the treasure house of the ancient civilization under your feet. As for why I have this key, it is because the founder of this ancient civilization once obtained my soul box, so I also made some transactions with him. Simple In other words, I taught this ancient civilization some high-end technologies, allowing them to become the overlord of one party in a short period of time. Unfortunately, that guy chose to turn his back on me and locked me in the treasure house, so I was idle. When I have nothing to do, I studied the structure of the treasure house."

"Later, this ancient civilization was destroyed by foreign enemies, and the king at that time was planning to run away with Xinruan, so he stuffed all my soul boxes into his pocket. As a result, his ship was destroyed by the storm; although outside the treasure house All the gold, silver and jewelry should have been taken away by predecessors, but I know that there is actually an inner warehouse in this treasure house, which contains some really good things, so Liu Xing, if you have the chance, you can give it a try It’s your own luck to see if those good things have been scrapped after so many years.”

Hearing what Sirius said, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "I have a question, that is, Sirius, why do you appear here and still exist in a soul state? Didn't I remember that you have regained your body?"

Sirius smiled, pointed to the ground and said, "Didn't I just say that? I was locked in an underground treasure house for a long time, so I took the time to give part of my soul to a floor tile. Of course, This amount of soul is almost negligible to me; but the floor tile that I have given soul to is equivalent to a soul container for me. It can accept my soul status bonus when necessary, so I found out that you have arrived here. After that, I came here specifically to repay my kindness.”

Although Sirius' words sounded nice, Liu Xing felt that it might have another agenda, because if Sirius really wanted to repay his kindness, then it would have come to him long ago instead of suddenly appearing at this time.

So is there anything special in the treasure house that Sirius talks about?

Or is it dangerous?

To be on the safe side, Liu Xing decided to consider handing over the keys as a first-rate bird after confirming the true existence of the treasure house. Moreover, when handing over the keys, he had to prepare some disclaimers to ensure that if something happened to someone in the treasure house, You will not be used as a scapegoat.

"Okay, I won't disturb Liu Xing for your rest now, but before that I still have to remind you, Liu Xing, that there may be many biological traps in the ruins of this ancient civilization, so if you want to go in If you don't, don't touch the flowers, plants, or some small animals that look harmless to humans and animals. In short, don't use too many hands or feet after entering."

As soon as Sirius finished speaking, Liu Xing's vision went dark again. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn.

At this time, Ding Kun, who was sitting aside, handed over a bottle of water and said, "I suggest you get up and wash up first, because after everyone gets up later, you can experience college life again."

Liu Xing made a hunch, only to find that only a few people had gotten up now, while others were still wandering in their dreams.

As for the automatic toilets in the camp, there are only two.
