Chapter 1116: Back to the city
Hearing the Knighthood Medal, Li Hanxing suddenly came to his senses and said, "Then Brother Dark Horse, do you know any clues about the Marquis or Duke's Medal?" Now that we have the Baron and the Viscount, the Earl has been taken away by another group, so if we want to outdo that group now, we must find a medal that represents the Marquis or Duke. ”
"Even if I tell you all the clues I know, you won't have enough time to find them now, because one of these two medals is hidden in the valley where Gundogan and I first met, and that valley is about two days away from the castle, even if you ride a horse, and most importantly, there are so many places in that valley where you can hide things; As for the whereabouts of the other medal, although Gundogan did not elaborate, from what I know about him, there is a good chance that he is hiding on his body. ”
"On your own body?!" Sun Huiwen raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Black Horse, do you mean that Duke Gundogan ate the title medal?" ”
Liu Xing also looked at the dark horse with a curious expression, but he didn't expect that Duke Gundogan was really a ruthless person, and he dared to swallow the knighthood medal in his stomach.
"No, no, no, you're thinking a little too much, how could that guy Gundogan eat the knighthood? If Gundogan really did this, wouldn't it be a cheap chameleon? After all, although Gundogan's sons are not good, and each of them has some problems, they still respect their father very much, so even if they know that the knighthood medal is in Gundogan's body, they don't dare to really use the knife on their father's body. ”
The black horse shook his head and said seriously: "Gundogan was seriously injured that year, but because the battle situation at that time was still very anxious, so in order to ensure the morale of his soldiers, Gundogan did not declare that he was injured, but asked Oda Nobunaga to secretly find a doctor to treat him, but for various reasons, Gundogan could only be treated with meat cutting, and from then on, the injured part was covered with specially tanned pig skin, So I think Gundogan should have put one of those knighthoods there. ”
Hiss~
Liu Xing and the others couldn't help but gasp, because they knew very well that in this medieval world where the medical level was still very backward, even a small suture operation could kill people, so the mortality rate of excision surgery must be higher.
So this Duke Gundogan also looks like a fierce man from the sky.
"About this injury, the only people who know about this injury are me and Oda Nobunaga, and the doctor, and no one else should know, because we can be sure that the chameleon was still in another battlefield hundreds of kilometers away, and now Oda Nobunaga has left here, and the doctor may not know who he was operating on at that time, because we first took Gundogan to the wounded barracks, and then changed Gundogan into tattered clothes, and smeared his face with mud or something, And he deliberately covered the upper body of Duke Gundogan, and the most important thing was that Oda Nobunaga told the doctor that one of his compatriots was injured, so the doctor should not know that he had operated on Gundogan. Dark Horse said with great certainty.
Liu Xing frowned, and suddenly felt that the dark horse seemed to be setting up a flag.
But just as Liu Xing was about to say something, he saw a black smoke suddenly rise in front of him, and then it quickly turned into fire!
Someone is setting fires!
Liu Xing took a closer look and found that the location of the fire seemed to be Wenchen Castle!
What's going on here?
"Why is Wenchen Castle on fire? Shall we go over and have a look? Or just go to the river and bypass? Li Hanxing said with a frown.
Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "Let's go over and see what the situation is, I think this fire should be related to those face-hugging insects, because after so many days, those face-hugging insects should have met Zum and them." ”
"Facehuggers? You're talking about creatures about the size of a washbasin that look like bugs, and that they can control your human bodies? ”
After seeing Liu Xing and the others nodding, the black horse sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to meet the descendants of the spider monster now; In that forest back then, everyone recognized that the strongest creature was the spider monster, because this spider monster can hatch dozens of small spider monsters every day, although these little spider monsters are very fragile, and they will not spit silk or anything, but as long as they seize the opportunity to jump on your face, then you will be controlled by this little spider monster nine times out of ten, so we quickly reached a consensus and decided to kill the spider monster first, because if we don't solve the spider monster first, Nine times out of ten, we will be controlled by the spider monster, so the spider monster will soon be finished under our siege, but there are still a few small spider monsters that have slipped through the net, and I didn't expect to be able to meet them now. ”
Liu Xing touched his chin and found that the ability of this spider monster is indeed a little buggy, and it can rely on the little spider monsters to form an army of mythical creatures, but it also fully embodies the sentence - the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
It's a pity that although this spider monster has the same intelligence as humans, it has not learned the knowledge that humans have accumulated for so many years, and it doesn't know how to write the word "hidden".
Soon, Liu Xing and the others came to the back of Wenchen Castle, and at this time, they could already hear many people talking not far away.
Liu Xing listened carefully and found that the content of these people's dialogue was actually very simple, that is, someone was attacked by the humans controlled by the little spider monsters before today, so Zum quickly organized a team of people to deal with these little spider monsters, at the beginning, there was a chance to wipe out the little spider monsters, but because someone made a mistake, it is estimated that the player of the public faction failed to judge, resulting in three small spider monsters giving up their "bodies" and escaping, However, after investigation, it was found that the three web-leaking spiders had escaped back to Wenchen Castle, so he was worried that there would be more small spider monsters in Wenchen Castle, so Zum brought his men over to prepare to burn Wenchen Castle.
After confirming that the people around Wenchen Castle were Zum's subordinates, Liu Xing and the three of them decisively chose to take a detour, because Liu Xing and the three of them did not dare to guarantee that Zum would not think that his group had obtained the Duke's Medal after seeing his group and the dark horse, so that he would be vicious and bold, and directly lead people to the disadvantage of the three of them.
Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Liu Xing and the three of them still took the black horse around to the river, and then returned to the castle along the river.
As a result, along the way, Liu Xing and others saw a lot of charred trees lying across the bend in the river, and it seemed that the fire a few days ago still burned a large area of the forest.
But then again, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a question, that is, why did the fire happen a few days ago, or what is the significance of this fire?
Again, the mod in the Cthulhu Run game lobby doesn't arrange some meaningless plots, so the fire two days ago was either deliberately done by someone, or it was a plot that this special mod had already arranged, all in all, there must be a reason for this fire.
First of all, Liu Xing directly ruled out the possibility that the fire was caused by the player, because even if the members of the public faction knew that there was a knighthood medal that might be hidden in a large tree, they would not have thought of setting fire to the tree to find the knighthood, not to mention that the tree was unlikely to appear in this cookie-cutter "copy and paste" forest.
What's more, according to Dark Horse, the tree should be in the valley where he and Duke Gundogan first met, and Duke Gundogan should have told his five sons about this news, so members of the public faction should be able to get the news as long as they are honest, so as to guess the specific location of the tree.
Therefore, it is unlikely that the fire of the previous two days was intentional by the members of the public faction, or that it added fuel to the fire, because the cause of this fire was still daylight.
However, considering the density of this forest, Liu Xing does not think that the fire can be spread like this just by relying on a daylight thunder, so the possibility of natural formation can also be ruled out here... Unless that thunderbolt strikes a big hit.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Liu Xingsi felt that this fire should be a plot kill arranged by the special module at the beginning, and it is very likely to be a plot kill for his own group.
Obviously, after these charred trees are poured into the river, it is likely that they will eventually flow through the moat of the castle and the water intake of the castle, so there is a possibility of blockage, so it is very likely that the oil painting frame that Liu Xing threw into the river will be salvaged along with these charred trees.
Although the oil painting frame was thrown into the river by Liu Xing a long time earlier, no one can say whether this special module will make the oil painting frame get stuck in a certain stone first, and then wait until those charred trees go down the river before acting together, and finally hang it together?
If this is the case, Liu Xing can only say that I am convinced.
However, this is just Liu Xing's personal speculation, so Liu Xing did not tell Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen these words.
However, since the dark horse was here, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask the dark horse if he knew about the oil painting.
Of course, the dark horse knows.
Although Oda Nobunaga did not say goodbye back then, Duke Gundogan thought that this was his reason, because there was no Silk Road in this special world, so Duke Gundogan's kingdom basically had no contact with "black-eyed and black-haired people" like Oda Nobunaga before this.
Naturally, many people who have seen Oda Nobunaga will subconsciously dislike and even be hostile to Oda Nobunaga, so Duke Gundogan thinks that the reason why Oda Nobunaga will say goodbye without saying goodbye is because he is worried that those people will be unfavorable to him, and secondly, he does not want to embarrass himself in the middle.
So after returning to the castle, Duke Gundogan arranged for several painters to paint Oda Nobunaga according to his description, and finally selected three paintings from the hundred paintings to preserve, and the others were burned.
However, for the same reason, Duke Gundogan also didn't like to hang Oda Nobunaga's painting in the castle, so he could only put it in a box and take it out from time to time to remember one or two.
Of course, Duke Gundogan also arranged several portraits of the black horse, one of which hung in the dressing room of the stable.
Hurrying all the way, Liu Xing and the three finally returned to the castle.
At the request of the dark horse, Liu Xing and the others took it back to the racecourse first, and it wanted to have a good "chat" with the compatriots in the racecourse first, to ensure that they could follow their actions, and then they could ensure that Liu Xing and the others could leave the castle quickly if necessary.
As for Liu Xing, after sending the dark horse back to the racecourse, after chatting with Dalong for a few words, they went directly back to their second-floor building, because Liu Xing and the three couldn't wait to start the secret room time.
However, when Liu Xing and the three opened the gate, Liu saw Alice drinking tea in the courtyard.
Looking at the three Liu Xing, who were a little surprised, Alice smiled and said, "I knew you should also come back, so I came back here to wait for you after seeing Zum leave the castle with his men and members of the public faction." ”
Liu Xing nodded, sat down and poured himself and Li Hanxing a cup of tea before saying, "Has anything noteworthy happened in the castle in the past two days?" ”
Alice nodded and said seriously: "Of course there is, that is, the members of the public faction have found the Earl's Medal and the Marquis' Medal, of which the Earl's Medal is from the General's Castle, and the Marquis's Medal was found in that tree." ”
Liu Xing and the three of them were all shocked, but they didn't expect that the members of the public faction really found the tree, and they also found the Marquis Medal.
In this way, the Baron Medal and the Viscount Medal found by his party seem a little insignificant.
"We already know about the Count's Medal, so Alice, have you ever found out how the members of the Duke's faction got the Marquis?" Liu Xing asked.
Alice sighed, shook her head and said: "The members of the public faction did not publicize how they found the Marquis Medal, because it is very likely that they snatched this Marquis Medal from other people's hands halfway, because the other team of people who went all the way with them has disappeared, and their life and death are unknown, and the leader of this group is the nephew of Duke Gundogan, who has been around Duke Gundogan since he was a child, so his understanding of Duke Gundogan is no worse than that of Zum and others, And at the very beginning, the man confidently told his friend that he would definitely get a knighthood. ”
