Liu Xing shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, I'm pretty sure I didn't hear the footsteps of the middle-aged butler when he came, and it felt like he suddenly appeared at the door... It seems that there may be more secrets in this particular mod than we think. ”

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

As soon as Liu Xing wanted to turn around and go upstairs, he saw Alice rubbing her eyes and pushing open the door of her room.

"Why didn't you wake me up? When I was half-asleep, I saw the sun outside the window, and I was directly scared to wake up. Alice grumbled.

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

"Two suns? It seems interesting, but it should be a hint that there will be something more than we imagined in this mirage, and the two suns are just an appetizer. Alice said, touching her chin.

Liu Xing nodded and asked, "Then Alice, are you going to go to the main castle for breakfast?" If you want to go, you'll have to hurry, after all, it will take a few minutes to get from us to the main fort. ”

"Of course we have to go, I suspect that this breakfast will be the first test that the mirage has prepared for us, because my knighthood is only a knight, and if I refuse to eat this breakfast without a suitable reason, it is very likely that Zum will use the topic to play, by the way, I now think that Zum should be our worst enemy, because in his eyes we distant relatives are a bunch 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 his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "So Alice, you better hurry over, I think those knights in the members of the public faction should have already gone to the main castle, and if you are the last one to go now, it is very likely that Zum will wear small shoes." ”

Alice smiled and nodded, then pushed open the door and walked in the direction of the main castle.

After Liu Xing and the three of them glanced at each other, Liu Xing still followed Alice honestly.

Although to be honest, Liu Xing actually didn't want to follow Alice to the main castle, because Liu Xing was worried that members of the public faction would see him and Alice, so he decided that Alice was not an NPC in this special mod.

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

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

At this time, Alice had already pinched her figure, so she said without looking back: "Hey, Liu Xing, you said it was better for us to join that camp?" I think if nothing else, Zum and they should start the first round of confrontation at the dinner table later, and if we want to join a faction, it would be better to 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, we don't know what this special mod is going on yet, so we can still put it off today and make a decision tomorrow." ”

As they spoke, Liu Xing and Alice came to the gate of the main castle.

Fortunately, at this time, only the middle-aged butler was waiting at the gate of the main castle, and he did not see the members of the public faction.

"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, the middle-aged butler bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Alice, Marquis Zum and they are all in place, please go to the banquet hall on the first floor to eat now, and I will arrange for someone to send your servant's breakfast." ”

"Thank you very much."

Alice smiled, then walked straight to the ballroom.

At this time, Liu Xing just wanted to turn around and leave, but he heard the middle-aged butler stop him, "By the way, you can go to the stable after breakfast later, and get a horse for your Miss Alice, because those knighthood medals of the lord may be hidden in the other two castles." ”

And two castles?

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and felt that this was actually expected, because if this special mod only had such a castle, then it would not be easy to explain that Zum found nothing when he searched this castle at the beginning.

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

The middle-aged butler pointed to the back of the main fort and said: "It's just behind, you can find the stable as long as you bypass the main fort later, after all, the smell of the stable is still obvious, because the lord likes to ride horses very much during his lifetime, so he naturally likes to collect all kinds of horses, but unfortunately Marquis Zum was injured when he fell off the horse when he was a child, so Marquis Zum is very resistant to horseback riding, so he doesn't value the good horses left by his father, This period of time directly reduced the daily expenses of the stables by about half. ”

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Housekeeper, for your guidance, then 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 housekeeper with some doubts.

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

Because Zum is the eldest son of Duke Gundogan, the middle-aged housekeeper should call Zum the eldest young master, but he calls Zum "Marquis Zum", this title is inevitably a bit too angry, right?

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

"This steward's title to Zum is indeed a bit raw, or businesslike, because now the Duke of Gundogan has gone, and the Duke's Medal is still missing, so Zum is only the temporary owner of this castle, and if others take out the Duke's Medal, then Zum can only leave the castle in disgrace, and then he will indeed be just a marquis in the eyes of the butler... So you say that there is such a possibility, that is, in the hands of that steward there is a knighthood, or even a duke's medal! Li Hanxing suddenly patted his thigh and said.

"It's unlikely, right? Although this middle-aged butler has a good position in this castle, he shouldn't have the ability to secretly hide Duke Gundogan's title medal, right? After all, this is not those great eunuchs in ancient China. Liu Xing shook his head and said: "I think this butler may simply think that Zum does not have much chance to become a duke, and he may be more optimistic about Conaway and Roken." ”

"Not necessarily."

Sun Huiwen said seriously: "Judging from Zumu's appearance and figure, I think their age should be about ten or twenty years old, so Duke Gundogan will not be more than forty years old, after all, the average life expectancy of ancient people is relatively low, which leads to their marriage age is also very early, so I think that the middle-aged butler is very likely to be Duke Gundogan's former personal soldiers, don't forget that the middle-aged butler was able to quietly touch our door just now." ”

Hearing Sun Huiwen say this, Liu Xing recalled it carefully and found that the middle-aged butler seemed to be a personal soldier of Duke Gundogan, because his figure and demeanor looked like a soldier.

"Later, when we go to the stables, see if there is a chance to ask someone about this middle-aged butler, if this middle-aged butler is really Duke Gundogan's personal soldier, then this special mod may be very interesting."

Speaking of this, Li Hanxing showed a mysterious smile, "Maybe the reason why Duke Gundogan's title medals disappeared is not because Duke Gundogan died suddenly and didn't have time to tell the location of his title medals, but because Duke Gundogan did it intentionally." ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Li Hanxing, you mean that Duke Gundogan doesn't want Zum to be his heir, so he combined his former personal soldiers, and the current housekeeper hid those title medals first, and prepared to wait until the last moment to hand over these title medals to Konaway and them?" ”

Li Hanxing nodded and said affirmatively: "Although Zum is the only son who accompanied Duke Gundogan to the battlefield, but because he had a psychological shadow on horseback riding when he was young, I think Zum's performance on the battlefield should be unsatisfactory, and even ran to play soy sauce, after all, a nobleman like him should be a cavalryman who takes the lead, but I think that Zumu will ride on a horse at most and pose at most, and it is basically impossible for him to take the lead in the charge." ”

"So coupled with Zum's temper is not good, it is really possible that Duke Gundogan does not want Zunmu to inherit his position, after all, Duke Gundogan also made some mistakes when he was young, in case his son chooses to 'solve' those mistakes for the sake of his own reputation, I think Duke Gundogan is very likely to jump out of the coffin board, so to sum up, Duke Gundogan is really likely to combine his most trusted personal soldiers to hide the title medal."

"And to whom do you think Duke Gundogan is going to pass on his position?" 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 don't know much about Conaway, and there is no room for analysis, but I think the ideal heir of Duke Gundogan is either Conaway or Roken, because the background of Green and Yak is destined for them to be only escorts." ”

"That's right, if Ark or Green become dukes, then there is a good chance that they won't see the sun the next day, because their foundation is too shallow, so Duke Gundogan shouldn't let them die, so we have to collect information about Conaway and Roken next."

As soon as Sun Huiwen's words fell, Liu Xing and the others heard the footsteps of several people from far and near.

It seems that the person who delivered breakfast should have come.

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door soon, and then Liu Xing and the three of them got their breakfast - a freshly baked loaf of bread, which looked like it should be whole wheat.

Other than that, there is nothing.

Looking at the big bread on the table that could be directly used to make pillows, Li Hanxing couldn't help but complain: "This Marquis Zum is too unparticular, just give us this?" If it doesn't go with some jam and honey, it doesn't even give a pickle. ”

Sun Huiwen shook his head and said with a smile: "This is actually quite good, at least we are given whole wheat bread instead of that kind of black bread, and the most important thing is that Li Hanxing, you should not have forgotten the big Leba we ate before, right?" ”

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

Da Leba is a special staple food on Maozi's side, in fact, it is a relatively large bread, as for Da Leba, the most famous point is that it is more suitable as a weapon than a baguette, and this is only the original Da Leba, if it is replaced with a special version of the war, that is, the legendary Da Leba with sawdust, that thing can be directly used as the reactive armor of the tank.

Therefore, Liu Xing now suspects that Li Hanxing has eaten Da Lieba with sawdust.

Looking at Liu Xing's curious eyes, Sun Huiwen sighed and said: "When we first became mercenaries, we were pulled by our captain to Ermao's side for training, but we encountered an unexpected situation that caused all our supplies to be lost, and there were no people within a radius of 100 miles, so we could only learn from Bei Ye to open the wilderness survival mode, and we didn't know whether our luck was good or bad, and we actually found a warehouse left by the big brother period, which kept a lot of food, including Da Leba." ”

"The kind with sawdust?" Liu Xing said subconsciously.

At this time, Sun Huiwen also showed an unbearable expression, and said helplessly: "I don't know if there are sawdust in those big lieba, because that thing is just a big lieba that we have seen from movies and TV series, and it tastes like chewing a steel plate... Can you imagine how we felt after eating steel plates for five days? I feel like my teeth are all shortened! ”

Liu Xing thought about it, and suddenly felt that the big bread on the table had become delicious.

Because they weren't hungry, Liu Xing and the three of them ate half a loaf of bread, and then went to the stable together.

Just like the middle-aged butler said, when Liu Xing and the three of them just came to the back of the main castle, they could faintly smell a foul smell.

Li Hanxing covered his nose and said with some disgust: "It seems that Zum has really cut the budget of the stable, it stands to reason that as long as there are enough people, feeding a little better forage will not make the stable stink." ”
