Chapter 421: Cherry's Reasoning (Asking for Monthly Pass Recommendation Tickets)
The Duke of York wanted to turn all the people of the Free City of Victoria into slavery.
It's not just talking, first of all, there is an agreement between him and Victoria.
The leader of Victoria, the "mayor" in the mouth of the Duke of York, is Lilo, who is known as the Duke title, and regardless of whether this title is valid or not, if she takes the initiative to force a land-owning lord, it will leave a lot of truth.
At that time, all kinds of reasons for declaring belli will emerge, and it may even be possible to form a siege network.
The Duke of York didn't want to try the feeling of tearing the encirclement by hand, so he needed a legitimate casus belli that no one could exploit.
Being humiliated is clearly the most appropriate casus belli.
"You go down first, I will never let Victoria go easily."
The Duke of York first calmed the mood of the insulted knights, and then
"Deliver the news of the knight's humiliation to all the realms of the kingdom, send another wave of knights to warn Victoria one last time, and you know how to do the rest."
"I see, Lord Duke of York!"
The staff member quickly showed a knowing expression, and then stepped back.
The Duke of York, sitting alone behind the desk, smiled wickedly, and looked at the corner of the room, a maid who was sitting on a small stool doing laundry, dressed in a very conservative dress.
The maid shed tears of humiliation.
————————
Arthur's requirements for the mission are not very clear, because it is an adventure mission, and there are no mission guidelines, reward descriptions, etc., Cherry just asks him to follow all the way, and then goes to the post office, teahouse, and several other small town entertainment venues, such as children's entertainment city, shopping mall, kindergarten, etc.
Of course, I went to the post office to confirm the specific situation of the letter that no one had checked, just like Ho He said, the letter was delivered here a few days ago, and then there was no sender and receiver, as if it appeared out of thin air, and then it was discovered by Ho He.
Having confirmed this, Cherry affirmed one point:
The person who put this letter in the post office must be someone from a distant town! Not only that, but the man hasn't left town yet!
Hearing that Cherry had come to this conclusion, Arthur was a little surprised at the time, and instinctively asked:
"Why?"
After asking Arthur, I regretted it a little, and suddenly asked an NPC about the topic of why the plot was a bit redundant.
But Cherry still answered Arthur's question very seriously:
"That's a good question, according to my reasoning, the letter was delivered to the post office no more than five days ago, and according to the fact that the letter suddenly appeared in the post office without the recipient and the sender, it must have been placed at the post office by someone from a distant town! As for why this one hasn't left yet, it's active now, right? Usually no one comes here, right? So it was put at the post office by the people of the town, and it was only five days, and it was too late to pack up the things at home and leave, as for why he packed up his things, this, it was my intuition, he must not have left! It's my gut feeling! ”
Although Cherry was talking about reasoning at the beginning, and later I don't know why it became intuitive again, but Arthur didn't think much about it, maybe this is the NPC's personality.
After a day of reconnaissance outside, nothing was found, and no one in the whole distant town knew about the things recorded in these diaries, letters, or even when the caravan from Winterfell came, and when asked, he could only try to recall and answer:
"When we are dormant here, there are usually a lot of tourists, and suddenly there are 2,500 people, and no one will notice."
That's pretty much the answer, it's clear that Cherry's investigation is in a desperate situation, and it looks like the trail is about to be cut off.
The more Cherry thought about it, the more she felt a headache, and decided to make a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea to wake up first, and it was already time to get off work, Cherry didn't let Arthur work overtime, so she let Arthur go back first.
Arthur, who has been following the NPC for a whole day, has not received any rewards, and the most important thing is that the plot does not seem to have any progress, but is blocked.
Isn't this a fake adventure mission?
The other players thought the same thing, and they stood outside the guard team and discussed it.
Some of these players are members of the Pioneer League's guilds, but most of them are interested in the game's story, and they are committed to advancing the story, looking for more adventure missions, and of course, it would be great if they could get some good equipment or something.
The players saw that Cherry was going to leave work and were about to leave, but at this moment, suddenly several players shouted:
"There's someone in the office! Cherry in the office! ”
The players are quickly drawn to the shouting, and sure enough, they see a goblin sneaking into the vacant office not long after Cherry and Arthur left.
If it weren't for someone staring at the office all the time, they might not have noticed it at all.
Arthur, who had only left for a short time, rushed back first, and saw the goblin in the office holding the diary, and the diary was burning!
"! He's going to destroy our adventure props! ”
I don't know who shouted, but the player quickly rushed up again, and with a flying pounce, he lunged at the goblin, to be exact, towards the burning journal in his hand.
Obviously, this journal is the key, and although he doesn't know why this goblin did this, he obviously knows about the existence of the diary, and may even know where the caravans in Winterfell are going!
The player's eyes turned red at the thought of the sophisticated equipment worn by the caravan guards who had betrayed Winterfell, and they couldn't control the guards who stopped them, and rushed towards the goblin.
"Catch it alive!"
"Don't kill him! Interrogate him! ”
"Hurry up and save the diary!"
A group of players shouted, but in the next second, the goblin's skin suddenly turned red all over, and then exploded under the heavy siege of the players.
【BOOM! 】
Cherry was a little confused and didn't know what was going on, but when she heard the players shouting that the goblin was burning the important evidence diary, Cherry's head buzzed and reacted!
There is a breakthrough! It's me!
Thinking so, Cherry wanted to rush in and quickly get the diary back and study it well, obviously, the breakthrough was in the diary!
But he thought simply, but there was no way to break through the player's human wall.
One by one, the players rushed into the office like crazy, and Cherry couldn't help but throw the hot bloody chrysanthemum tea in his hand, trying to make an empty way, but the players who were splashed with boiling water continued to crowd inside like no one.
And the sudden explosion, as well as the sweeping heat wave, pushed the cherry out.
Cherry slammed into the wall, feeling like he was going to fall apart, and when he slowly got up, the office in front of him was in ruins, and because the players were blocking it and blocking Cherry's position, Cherry didn't have any injuries.
As for the players, there were a bit of casualties, and the whole scene was in mourning.
"! Why did it blow up again! Equipment! Oh my gear! ”
"It's so miserable, fortunately I'm running slowly, otherwise my equipment would have been finished."
"Hurry up and find that diary!"
"I'm still looking for a chicken.,It's all fried like this.,There's no book left!"
The players who survived shouted.
Cherry's ears buzzed, and a colleague came to help him up, and a vague voice came from his ears:
"Cherry! Cherry! What happened! Are you okay! ”
Cherry was in a trance for a moment before he reacted, he looked at his colleagues, and then at the players, and then he understood in his heart-
It's the people of the dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom, who saved me!
