"One thing to say, I love it."

Li Hanxing said with a serious face: "I originally thought that someone as good as me would be lonely for a lifetime, but now I have found out that there are still people who can study the second half of my life with me." ”

"That's right, it's down." Sun Huiwen said suddenly.

was interrupted by Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, and the atmosphere of the scene became active again.

"Honestly, Alice, you're so beautiful now." Liu Xing said seriously: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, you used to be very beautiful, but now that you are wearing this evening dress, there are only four words left in my mind - amazing." ”

Alice looked at Liu Xing, shook her head with a smile and said, "This is a little different from you, Mr. Liu Xing." ”

Liu Xing sighed with a smile and said no more.

At this moment, Liu Xing and the others suddenly heard a bell from the main fort.

It seems that this should be the signal that the dinner party is about to begin.

So, under the leadership of Alice, Liu Xing and the three of them followed him to the main fort.

At this time, the middle-aged butler had been waiting for a long time, and after seeing Alice, he took the initiative to lead everyone around, and finally came to the place where the dinner was held, that is, the back garden of the main castle.

At this time, there were already many brightly dressed noble men and women talking to each other, and there were also many entourages dressed similarly to Liu Xing and the others next to them, waiting to be sent.

After seeing Alice leave, Liu Xing said with some surprise: "Didn't you say that there are only four nobles in this ancient castle?" Even if these nobles brought all their families, the remaining nine buildings were full of people, which would add up to much less than the nobles here. ”

Liu Xing glanced at it and found that the number of people attending the dinner party was likely to exceed three digits.

"It seems that those who were lucky enough to escape this mirage either lied or were forced to lie." Li Hanxing frowned and said, "But this is a good thing for us, because the people who entered this mirage at the beginning were either members of the public faction or ordinary people... I think it's very likely that those ordinary people have been fooled and crippled by the members of the public faction, so we have to see those ordinary people as enemies now, so now that there are so many noble NPCs, Alice, who is originally the face of the West, can smoothly integrate into it. ”

Liu Xing nodded, agreeing with Li Hanxing's statement, because Alice at this time did not have any sense of disobedience after entering the dinner scene, if Liu Xing had known Alice for "more than ten years", Liu Xing might really think that Alice was a noble lady.

"Okay, what do we do now?" Sun Huiwen looked around and said, "Are we going to act directly separately now, or are we all going together?" In addition to this, there is also the question, that is, should there be someone left here to help Alice? ”

Liu Xing looked around and found that many of the entourages with the faces of the island nation were staying in the corridor and waiting.

"I think I still have to stay here, because the members of the public faction that we entered here first have specially stayed here, which means that there may still be problems during the banquet, and we may need to act as retinues at that time; And I think Li Hanxing, you should act together, because there is a good chance that you will meet people from the public faction. Liu Xing said seriously.

Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen nodded, and left after giving Liu Xing a "take care" look.

Looking at the backs of Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, Liu Xing could only wish them all the best in his heart, after all, this was a castle that was completely unknown to them, and there were still many enemies in the castle, as well as various dangers that might exist.

Liu Xing sighed and continued to pay attention to the situation at the dinner.

At this time, Alice had already chatted with several middle-aged women who looked like noblewomen, and it seemed that she was about to become best friends.

As for the nobles with the faces of the island country at the dinner, Liu Xing counted them carefully and found that there were only three people in total.

It seems that the members of the public faction did not send too many people into this mirage.

As for the entourage waiting on the side, Liu Xing saw the faces of five island countries, and one of them made Liu Xing feel very familiar.

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that this person was one of the members of the public faction who were carrying backpacks in the fire of Nagoya Castle before.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because this should be able to prove that the public faction had indeed brought that treasure into this special module.

As for why the public faction would do this, Liu Xing estimated that nine times out of ten, that treasure was brought out of this special module.

But here's the question, Alice, don't they all say that no one has been able to clear this special mod yet? So how did this treasure end up?

What's the secret behind this?

Liu Xing began to feel that something was not quite right with this particular mod.

Just when Liu Xing was thinking about it, the originally noisy dinner scene suddenly quieted down.

Liu Xing fixed his eyes and found that everyone present had already set their eyes on a young nobleman who was slightly obese.

Judging from the dress and demeanor of this nobleman, as well as the attitude of the people around him, this nobleman should be the owner of this castle, that is, the marquis with the highest title among the people present.

"I'm here to introduce myself to all of you, I'm the owner of this castle, Zum, son of Duke Gundogan, and it's a pleasure to get to know you."

Zum deliberately paused for a few seconds after saying this, and the others around him began to applaud with great interest.

After hearing the warm applause, Zum nodded with great satisfaction and continued: "I believe that you should already know about it, so I will not repeat it here, I hope you can do your own thing, do not hurt the peace, and most importantly, I hope to see you again at the farewell dinner a week ago." ”

As soon as Zum said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.

Hearing this, Liu Xing felt that he had been able to roughly guess what the main quest of this special mod was.

First of all, this main quest is time-limited, that is, at the beginning of the so-called "Farewell Dinner" a week later, this special mod will be considered to be at the end; Then there's the main quest of this special mod, which is to compete with the NPC nobles present to get those hidden knighthoods; In the end, this Zum should be the final boss of this mod.

A boss with a huge home field advantage.

In addition to this, other NPC nobles are also enemies of the player.

It's no wonder that this is the hardest of the six special mods, as the player has no NPC teammates in this mod, and even other players are their enemies.

The biggest problem right now is that most of the enemies will be a head above you, which makes it very uncomfortable.

Liu Xing suddenly had a feeling that all the plants and trees were soldiers.

At this time, the dinner continued, but the atmosphere of the dinner party became a little strange, and everyone began to gather in groups to discuss in low voices.

Liu Xing thought that Alice would be isolated at this time, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged ladies before still pulled Alice aside, looking like they wanted Alice to join their camp.

More than an hour passed like this, and the nobles at the dinner party began to leave one after another, and Liu Xing also took this opportunity to choose to leave, because Liu Xing didn't want the members of the public faction to find out that he and Alice were all the way... Although members of the public faction may have found out a long time ago.

Back in the two-story building, Liu Xing found that Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen had already returned, and it seemed that they had not encountered any trouble.

Seeing Liu Xing coming back, Li Hanxing said: "There are guards standing guard and patrolling all over the castle, so we only went around on the first floor of the castle, basically there is nothing worth noting, of course, because of the yellow paper, we deliberately paid attention to the paintings hanging in the castle, and at present, a total of five oil paintings were found in the public space on the first floor, three of which depicted a middle-aged man, it seems that he should be the owner of this castle, or an ancestor." ”

"In addition, there are two oil paintings that are both landscapes, and one is supposed to be the castle, which does not seem to be of much interest; Another painting is of a big tree, which doesn't seem to be anything special, but I noticed a detail that there is a leaf on the tree that has a pattern that could be the number 5. ”

"5 again?"

Liu Xing said with a little surprise: "This special mod is also triggered in the No. 5 restaurant, which means that this 5 should be an important clue to this special mod, but it is still too difficult to analyze just by relying on this 5, because this 5 can represent the fifth floor, the fifth room, the fifth two-story building, and even the fifth player who enters this special mod, or the fifth player who obtains the knighthood." ”

"In fact, there is another possibility, that is, the big tree is the clue that the oil painting really wants to convey!" Sun Huiwen said seriously: "I have encountered such a situation before, there is an NPC that uses fake clues, or the kind of inconsequential clues to cover up the really important clues, just like this oil painting, I think most people will subconsciously ignore the big tree after discovering the number 5 on the leaves, not to mention that the big tree doesn't seem to be special." ”

Hearing Sun Huiwen say this, Liu Xing's mind suddenly flashed and he said, "I think what you said Sun Huiwen is very reasonable. ”

Liu Xing first told Li Hanxing what he saw and thought at the dinner, and then continued: "Judging from the current situation, I suspect that this special mod is actually a treasure hunt, a treasure hunt where players compete with a large number of NPCs, and the ultimate goal is to obtain the Duke's Medal, so there may be a lot of puzzles and clues hidden in this castle. ”

"Wait, won't there be too many players participating in this scavenger hunt? This nobleman and his retinue must have two or three hundred people combined, right? Although this castle is indeed quite large, if more than 300 people hunt for treasure together, I am afraid that everyone will not look down and not look up, so this treasure hunt game might as well be changed to an exploration game. Li Hanxing opened his mouth and complained.

"What if this particular mod isn't just about this castle?"

Liu Xing said seriously: "Although we haven't turned this castle around yet, we can also notice that there are not many big trees in this castle, because the castle is a fortress to put it bluntly, so it should be impossible to plant too many trees in this fortress, so as not to add fuel and vinegar when encountering fire attacks, and the most important thing is that when we just entered this module, we all saw the surrounding flowers and trees, I don't think it should be a sticker." ”

Just when Li Hanxing was about to say something, Alice returned.

After closing the door, Alice said: "The plot prepared by this mirage is really interesting, first of all, this is a fictional medieval kingdom, the biggest feature of this kingdom is that it only recognizes medals and does not recognize people, as long as you have a knighthood, then you can get the corresponding title, but in order to avoid people with ulterior motives will try their best to take away other people's titles and medals, causing the same title to change hands many times in a short period of time." So the kingdom also made a special provision for this. ”

"This special rule is actually very simple, that is, every ten years the owner of the knighthood is determined, and then the owner of the knighthood does not change for the following year, unless some owner dies for various reasons; The next point is the point, if there is a will, then the successor of the knighthood will be automatically filled, but if there is no will, then after a month, whoever holds the knighthood medal will be able to receive the knighthood. ”

"The original owner of this castle is Duke Gundogan, and his family is one of the largest families in this kingdom, so it has many branches, yes, those nobles who attended the dinner today are all relatives of Duke Gundogan, and the reason why they came here is because Duke Jingdongan died suddenly, and he did not make a will before this, so these relatives, of course, including us, are here for his knighthood, and his son Marquis Zum can't stop us on the surface, But he will definitely deal with us in secret. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Sure enough, this mirage is a treasure hunt to put it bluntly, so if we want to pass this mirage, then we have to get the Duke's Medal." ”

As soon as Liu Xing's words fell, Alice shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily, if we can find other knighthoods, we can also clear the customs." ”
