Real Cthulhu Running Game

"That's too much luck."

Baihecheng shook his head, pointed in the direction of Wangxiang Terrace and said, "But we can basically confirm that Wangxiang Terrace must bring its own adventures, so why should we sacrifice the near and seek the far away?"

Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, he saw Ding Kun hurriedly walked into the cafeteria.

Seeing Liu Xing, Ding Kun breathed a sigh of relief, "Liu Xing, we found a cave near the wine gorilla's nest, and found a very magical iron sword in it! When this iron sword was in the cave It was still rusty, but after being taken out of the hole, it automatically became as smooth as new.”

"Oh? I was just wondering why Liquor didn't explode his equipment. It turns out he hid the equipment."

Liu Xing smiled and said: "But Brother Ding, you don't have to be in such a hurry to come to me. Although this iron sword is quite magical, it is just an iron sword in the end. Of course, if it can cut iron like clay, , blowing and breaking hair is another matter.”

Ding Kun shook his head and said seriously: "Although this iron sword cannot cut iron like mud or blow hair and break hair, there is a coat of arms on its hilt, and we can know it through this coat of arms. The master is the new Dragon Emperor!"

"ah?"

Liu Xing and Bai Hecheng both looked at Ding Kun in shock.

Ding Kun poured himself a glass of water, drank it and continued: "The emblem on the iron sword is the emblem used by the new Dragon Emperor before he raised his army, which is a one-horned bull's head. The Dragon Emperor had a very good relationship with a unicorn cow in his family. He would lead the cow to graze by the river when nothing happened. Therefore, when the new Dragon Emperor designed his first coat of arms, he chose the image of a unicorn cow. ; So we have reason to suspect that this iron sword is the sword used by the new Dragon Emperor in his early years, that is, the scrap iron sword he made during his apprenticeship."

When Ding Kun mentioned the three words "Scrap Iron Sword", a short story suddenly popped up in Liu Xing's mind, because "The Scrap Iron Sword of the New Dragon Emperor" is something that all the children of the New Dragon Empire have heard. This is a fable that has been circulated to the same level as "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" in the real world.

To put it simply, in order to train himself when he was more than ten years old, the new Dragon Emperor went alone to a strange city hundreds of miles away to learn skills from a teacher, and then he needed to purchase an iron sword for training purposes; but because of the new On the way to his apprenticeship, the Dragon Emperor saw a pair of orphans and a widowed mother who were very pitiful, so he gave them all his expenses, so he walked the rest of the journey doing odd jobs.

Therefore, in order to get an iron sword for training, the new Dragon Emperor went to the local blacksmith shop to do odd jobs, and was finally allowed to use various unwanted scraps to make an iron sword. This is the new Dragon Emperor's scrap iron sword. !

Although this is called a scrap iron sword, it is better than the ordinary iron swords used by the brothers. Therefore, it can be seen that the new Dragon Emperor also knows how to use materials and can make the original scraps have a second life. .

Regarding this little story, Liu Xing can be sure that there is a lot of water in it, but the new Dragon Emperor did make an iron sword with his own hands back then.

However, according to the new Dragon Emperor, this iron sword was accidentally lost after he left the army. That is to say, he accidentally dropped the iron sword into the river when he was taking a boat home, and the new Dragon Emperor was having sex with him at the time. The boatman was chatting, so he didn’t know which section of the river the iron sword probably fell on.

"According to the connection between the hometown of the new Dragon Emperor and the place where he apprenticed and learned skills, it is indeed possible that the scrap iron sword was brought to the vicinity of Sweetwater Town by the river, and the wine monkey's men happened to have water monkeys with flippers, so they fished it out This scrap metal sword is not impossible."

Ding Kun opened his mouth and analyzed: "And you also know that although this module is in the martial arts style, it also has a touch of fairy color, so it also has a very special setting - dragon energy, also It is what we often call the Emperor's Qi; the effect of the Emperor's Qi is also very simple, that is, it can give special effects to the items used by the Emperor. For example, the weapons used by the Emperor have their own armor-breaking effects, while protective gear has defensive power. Plus one, and it also has a little deflection effect on key parts! Even the wine glass used by the emperor can turn muddy wine into fine wine."

"Let me go, is there such an outrageous setting?"

Baihe City couldn't help but complain: "Then if the new Dragon Emperor goes to the toilet, wouldn't it be possible to double the annual output of an acre of land?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't make such weird metaphors while eating, okay?" Liu Xing rolled his eyes.

"Theoretically it can indeed be done, but the specifics are not clear. After all, no one has tried it, and even if they had tried it, they wouldn't say it casually."

Ding Kun said with a smile: "So we think that the reason why the scrap iron sword can be as clean as new is probably related to the Qi of the Emperor. But the strange thing is that when we got this iron sword, although it popped out There was an introduction to the props, but this introduction to the props did not explain the name of the sword, nor did it mention its origin."

"Oh? What does this prop introduction say?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

"I don't know how to summarize this introduction to the props, because I know every word of it, but when combined together, I don't know what it means. So it's up to you, Liu Xing, to try it out and see for yourself. .”

Ding Kun frowned and said: "This sword has not been taken out of the woods yet, because we found that the scabbard of this sword is still missing, and we can probably sense that the scabbard is nearby through this iron sword! So! I arranged for a team of people to continue searching for the scabbard of the iron sword. I thought that if the scabbard could be found and combined with the iron sword, we might be able to crack the introduction of the iron sword's props."

"So should we give this iron sword to the third prince?"

Liu Xing drank the last sip of soy milk, put down the bowl and said: "Even if this sword is as sharp as iron, it will not be a big improvement for our alliance, but if we give it to the third prince, then it should be You can get a lot of benefits! After all, this sword is the first sword of the new Dragon Emperor, and its meaning is self-evident, especially now that the life or death of the new Dragon Emperor is uncertain, and the third prince gets this scrap iron With the sword, you can say that you have inherited your father's will! So this scrap iron sword is a perfect auspicious sign."

"Yes, this scrap iron sword has been missing for decades, and it suddenly appears at this time. That is a perfect auspicious sign, and the third prince who gets this sword is the destined one! So we put this sword If you give the sword to the third prince, the third prince will definitely give us many gifts in return. The most important thing is that this can also strengthen the establishment of our alliance. It will be easier to fool the third prince in the future." Baihe City said with some excitement.

Liu Xing nodded, stood up and said, "So let's go for a walk in the woods now and see if we can find the scabbard!"

Baihe City finished breakfast and followed Liu Xing and Ding Kun to the woods.

At this time, less than half of the woods were left, and there was only one yard left near the orchard, so after some discussion, Meng Fugui and others decided to transform the yard into a post station for convenience. Players and NPCs who do not live in Sweetwater Town have settled here.

"After we got rid of the wine monkeys, some monkeys originally wanted to stay in this forest. But seeing that we were still cutting down trees, they finally chose to leave honestly, but they would come back occasionally to take a look. , it seems they are very reluctant to leave their original home.”

Ding Kun said as he walked: "Fortunately, we are not in the real world. Otherwise, if a photographer takes pictures of those monkeys and then puts them online, we will be criticized verbally. But this is indeed damaging to the environment, no. Love small animals.”

Liu Xing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, shook his head and said: "The environment these days cannot be better. Even if we turn all the trees near Tianshui Town into wood, the impact on the overall environment of this area will be minimal. Besides, we only cut down a piece of forest; and in a sense, we are also a group of homeless people, so there is nothing to blame for cutting down trees just to have a place for ourselves."

"Although what you said, Liu Xing, is very reasonable, I always feel that you are sophistry, and you are even more sophistry than my other character card." Baihecheng complained.

Liu Xing smiled again and said nothing more.

Soon, the three of Liu Xing found the team of players who were looking for the scabbard. They had now roughly delineated an area of ​​ten meters in radius through the different reactions of the iron sword at different locations.

However, there are many trees in this area, and these trees also have a prominent root system, so it is unrealistic to start digging the scabbard directly, because the logging team is still dozens of meters away from here, and it is impossible to jump here directly. Logging, after all, it is difficult to send wood out in such terrain. When the wood is stacked together, it will be even more difficult to dig out the scabbard.

Besides, digging roots is also a physical job. Liu Xingke had to go back to his hometown once, and his family planned to cut down a grapefruit tree growing behind his ancestral home because the fruit produced by this grapefruit tree every year was not delicious. , and it is a bit too close to the ancestral home, so if it continues to grow like this, it may affect the foundation of the ancestral home.

It turned out that it only took a few minutes to chop down the tree, but it took more than half a day to dig out its roots, and several strong men took turns to do it, and then several half-laborers like Liu Xing were added.

You must know that this grapefruit tree is only as thick as the mouth of the pot.

"It seems that we can only let the logging team move this way, and then wait for them to arrive before starting to dig out the scabbard."

Ding Kun shook his head and said: "If nothing else happens, the scabbard should be underground. There is only a very low possibility that it will be in a tree, because we can't guarantee whether there will be a monkey with nothing to do. The scabbard was hung on a certain big tree; so, Alliance Leader, do you want to go and see the cave where the iron sword was found? There seems to be some things in there, but they are all small items such as copper coins."

Because there were outsiders present, Ding Kun began to call Liu Xing the leader of the alliance.

At this time, Liu Xing was holding an iron sword, studying a string of garbled prop introductions, trying to re-assemble these words into a paragraph. . . Then Liu Xing gave up directly because these words really lacked relevance.

At the same time, perhaps because the scabbard was nearby, Liu Xing could feel the iron sword trembling slightly, and at the same time, a comfortable temperature came from the hilt.

One thing is that Liu Xing felt that this iron sword felt very good in his hand, as if it was tailor-made for him.

"Then go and have a look."

Liu Xing put down his iron sword and said: "If I guessed correctly, that cave may be the wine gorilla's treasure cave. It throws all kinds of knickknacks it collects into it, so we should still be able to find some useful things." Bar?"

As a result, Liu Xing miscalculated.

The cave where the iron sword was discovered is actually an extended version of the cellar, so people can walk around in a circle within a few steps. Therefore, before the arrival of Liu Xing and the others, the team of players who were looking for the scabbard sent a person in to check around. As a result, some rusty copper coins and rusty hoe and kitchen knives were found, and most of them had been turned into pieces.

Therefore, these copper and iron fragments buried in the soil became small landmines, so Liu Xing, who did not have a hoe around him, did not dare to dig directly with his hands.

"It seems that we still have to wait until tools such as hoes are brought in before digging this hole."

Liu Xing got out of the hole and said with a somewhat disgraceful face: "And you have to be careful when digging things. I think this hole doesn't even have a support, and it may collapse at any time; as for these messy things in the hole, Just transport it back and melt it, and you can get a few more iron tools."

"Then should we take this iron sword back? Anyway, we have roughly determined the scope of the scabbard and are waiting for someone to come and dig it out." Ding Kun asked.

Liu Xing thought for a while, and just when he was about to nod, the voice of Baihe City came from the cave.

"I found a token!"

When Liu Xing and others heard this, they immediately turned their heads and saw Baihe City crawling out of the hole, holding a palm-sized copper token in his hand.

"Leader, when you just came out, I saw something reflecting light under your feet, so I went down and smiled, and I actually found this token."

Baihecheng said as he handed the token to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing took the token, nodded and said: "Maybe I used my feet when I came up, and I just wiped the dirt off the token... So why don't you slap me in the face so fast? I just They said it was all junk, but you found a token."

Hearing what Liu Xing said, everyone present laughed in good faith.

Liu Xing shook his head, wiped off all the loose soil on the token, and found that there was only one symbol on the token - Ψ.

Is this a trident?
