Chapter 16: The Castle's Past
Everyone was idle, so they began to allocate a room, Wang Siyi, as the only lady, naturally occupied a small room, and then because no one wanted to live in a room with Baihe City, so Baihe City also lived in a room alone, so the big room was Liu Xing, Wang Qi, Chen Ling, and the three of them would make do with it, but as long as there were no accidents, Liu Xing and the others would not spend the night in the castle, because as long as the main quest was completed, Liu Xing and the others would try their best to leave the castle and leave the town of Eins.
After assigning the room, Wang Siyi, seeing that he had nothing to do, went to his room to rest alone, and Bai Hecheng also went back to his room with an unhappy face under the strong request of Liu Xing and Chen Ling, as well as Wang Qi's persuasion (physics).
This large room in the castle is more than 50 square meters, with some simple furniture decoration, and two large beds, which can be seen from the window of this room to the back garden of the castle.
Of course, it's not so much a back garden as a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, overgrown with weeds, and you can tell that it hasn't been taken care of for a long time.
But think about it, since Liu Xing entered the castle, he only saw the old Wayne, the butler, and did not see any servants in the castle.
Liu Xing felt that the latter was more likely, because from the layout of this room, for the British nobles who like to enjoy and have a good face, this room is a little too shabby, and even the back garden has not been taken care of for a long time, and there is only one old butler in the entire castle, which shows that the lord of this castle has an economic crisis.
Liu Xing touched his chin and began to think about a question, do you have a chance to make a fuss from it?
If Liu Xing's previous guess is not wrong, the lord of the castle is likely to be a human with knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos, and may have some spells, or can summon some relatively low-level mythical creatures, but as long as the SAN value is not as low as a single digit, then Liu Xing feels that he can still use persuasion skills against the lord of the castle, such as pretending to be a rich son, providing financial assistance to the lord of the castle and the like.
Seems like a good idea.
"Player old Chinese medicine doctor, because you have been observing the back garden of the ancient castle for a long time, you suddenly feel that there is a flower in front of you, as if something is hidden in the depths of the grass, please pass an inspiration test." Suddenly, KP004's voice sounded in Liu Xing's ears.
Liu Xing frowned, he didn't expect that he actually triggered the inspiration test, you must know that in a situation like this, as long as the inspiration test is passed, it is very likely to see some mythical creatures, or supernatural phenomena, which will eventually lead to a decrease in SAN value, which can be regarded as the last thing players want to pass in the Cthulhu running group.
However, Liu Xing's inspiration is as high as 90, and it is difficult to pass it.
Therefore, Liu Xing could only say helplessly: "KP, let's start the inspiration test." ”
Inspiration, 95/90, failure. (The author swears by his personality, the number of points voted by the author himself is 95, and he absolutely did not control the dice mother)
。。。。。。
Liu Xing and KP004 fell silent at the same time, but they didn't expect that the verification of the ninety percent success rate would fail.
kp004 said helplessly: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky, you can fail this, but since the result is a failure, then you didn't find anything, just thought you were dazzled just now." ”
Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was really good that the inspiration did not succeed this time, and Liu Xing was ready to lose the SAN value just now.
But then again, Liu Xing found that Wang Qi and Chen Ling didn't look at him, as if they didn't know that Liu Xing had just passed an inspiration test.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing contacted kp004 and said, "kp, didn't you inform other players of the results of the inspiration test just now?" ”
KP004 may be depressed because of the failure of inspiration just now, so he didn't reply to Liu Xing for the first time, "Ah, oh, that's the case, players can make open and dark throws, and we, KP, will let players hide the throw according to the situation, the progress and results of the hidden throw are only known to the player himself, and the rest of the players will not receive relevant messages and prompts, of course, players can also choose to tell this news to other players." ”
Liu Xing nodded silently and understood the meaning of kp004, which is equivalent to the player triggering someone's plot, so only the player who triggers the plot can carry out relevant verification and get various news of the plot.
Liu Xing felt that if he succeeded in the inspiration check just now, there was a chance that a side quest would be triggered, and he didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse.
Of course, Liu Xing decided to tell his teammates the news and let them be careful, after all, losing SAN is still a trivial matter, triggering some unnecessary plots, or attracting a mythical creature is not fun.
But just then, a new test began.
Library utilization, 70/70, success.
The library uses this skill, which is actually an information acquisition skill, and does not require the player to actually use it in the library, but when the player consults information through books, newspapers, the Internet, etc., through this skill, you can obtain information faster and obtain more information.
Therefore, library utilization is also a very practical skill, but unfortunately Liu Xing's interest skill points are not enough, so this skill is not pointed out.
Liu Xing estimated that this library skill should be used by Wang Siyi, because if Liu Xin is not mistaken, the library is used in the professional skills of reporters.
After a while, Wang Siyi walked into the room with a book, and Baihe City, who rushed to hear the news, also walked in.
"I found this book in my room, and found that it was a record of the events that had happened in this castle, and I also learned that the owners of the castle were the Raphael family." Wang Siyi put the book on the table and spoke.
"The first thing is that it happened a thousand years ago, the founder of the castle, Raphael I, was a marquis, and his fief was in the small town of Eins, and when the site was selected to build this castle, there were casualties among the workers, and the recorded death toll was thirteen, and the number of missing people was more than ten, and then Raphael I found the demon under the foundation of the castle and defeated the demon."
"The second thing happened about three hundred years ago, a group of secret societies that believed in demons appeared in the town of Eins, and the lord of the castle at that time led the troops to eliminate this secret society, and in the garden behind the castle, the statue of the evil god enshrined in this secret society was broken and buried in the earth."
"The third thing is that a hundred years ago, a hundred well-equipped English soldiers were temporarily stationed in this castle because of a heavy rain, and as a result, after a rainy night, this group of English soldiers mysteriously disappeared, when Manchester officials came to hold the castle to the lord at the time, but returned in vain because they could not find evidence."
PS: Continue to ask for all kinds of things.
