Chapter 65: The Countess
The halls of the castle were empty, and there was nothing special.
After resting in place and recuperating in condition, we continued to set off to the second floor.
"Strange, why aren't there guards?"
All the way to the second floor without hindrance, everyone walked around the corridor on the second floor for a long time, and they didn't encounter a monster.
"By the way, this castle is really big, it's like a labyrinth inside."
"It's a labyrinth, indeed."
Glancing at Cecilia, Yang Xi nodded, "Since just now, I have been weaving three-dimensional patterns in my mind, forcibly recording the routes we have taken, and I found that the roads here are intricate, and there are even some places that are directly dead ends." But that's okay, I've found the right path, and everyone just follow me. β
It takes a lot of computing power and memory to memorize the passages here just by looking at the eyes, and then constructing a specific map scene in your head!
The girls were shocked.
Yang Xi, who was leading the way in front, didn't notice their abnormality, and while walking, he compared the path he was taking with the route in his mind.
With the right map, it's easy to get through the maze or something.
Coming to a gorgeous gate, Yang Xi and the others stopped and stopped.
"The mob has been brushed, and the maze has been broken, if I guessed correctly, this should be the final boss's room, are you ready?"
"Ready!" The women replied in unison.
"Alright, we're in!"
Pushing open the door, Yang Xi and the others, who were originally ready for battle, were stunned.
There's a party going on here?
Everywhere you can see beautiful maidens in evening dresses inviting young handsome young people to dance on the dance floor, accompanied by elegant music, and the banquet is harmonious.
The intrusion of Yang Xi and others naturally attracted the attention of others.
One of the mature and bewitching ladies came over with a glass of red wine, her deep V-neck showing her deep invisible furrows, and her plump breasts swayed with her footsteps, attracting everyone's attention. The crimson evening dress not only greatly sets off her hot figure, but also looks enthusiastic and unrestrained.
Especially her charming eyes. It's fascinating.
From a distance, she looks like a mature beauty in her thirties, but up close, it makes people think that she is just a young woman in her early twenties. Her long blond hair was tucked back in her head, making it even more extravagant.
Faced with such a beautiful woman, this group of girls all lowered their heads in shame.
Suzu muttered even more unpleasantly, "What the hell are you doing~ It's just an NPC, can you use such a beautiful design?!" β
I don't know how many times she scolded the designer who designed this character in her heart.
Oddly enough, shouldn't this be the final boss's room? Why are all the people here white-named NPCs?
"Welcome to my castle, adventurer, I am Elizabeth, the master here. Bartoli. Also a noble count. β
"Beautiful Countess, we are lost adventurers, my name is Yixia, and they are all my teammates. Because it was too late, I wanted to come here for a night, although it was a bit presumptuous, but I hope you will forgive me. β
"A summer? It's okay, you're here at the right time, I'm here for a banquet. If you don't mind, why don't you join us? β
"Well, thank you Countess first."
After greeting her, the countess departed.
"A summer. We don't really want to have a banquet here, do we? From the very beginning, I felt a little chilly. β
"Eh~ Are you too? I thought I was the only one who felt it! β
"Is there air conditioning here?"
"Stupid, this is a medieval castle, and it's still in the game. Where did the air conditioner come from! Don't be silly! β
It's summer, and even if the temperature at night isn't as high as during the day, it doesn't feel cool indoors. If it's a person, it's possible that you're hallucinating. But if everyone feels this way, then there must be something wrong here!
But what's the problem?
When he entered this room, Yang Xi already had a sense of disobedience, but he couldn't say where he disobeyed.
Just when Yang Xi was thinking carefully, Ling looked at the fine food flow at the banquet and drooled, "Na, Yixia, we are here to attend the banquet anyway, let's just eat something, these snacks look delicious!" β
Dim sum?
That's right, it's dim se!
I don't know how long this banquet has been held, but I only saw people drinking, but the food on the table never moved.
Why? Aren't they hungry? Or do you pay attention to the so-called etiquette and are unwilling to eat in front of others?
"Suzu, thank you!"
Grabbing Huang Lingyin's face and rubbing it vigorously, Yang Xi laughed happily.
"You, what are you doing all of a sudden, this is still there, why thank me?"
"Of course, thank you for reminding me and letting me figure it out."
With a confident smile on his face, Yang Xi muttered, "Didn't you notice that no one had ever touched the food at the banquet?" β
"Uh~ Listen to you say that, it's true"
With Yang Xi's reminder, everyone also realized that something was wrong. Attending a banquet is a very physically and mentally consuming thing, but there is no one here to eat to replenish themselves, why?
"Why? There are only two reasons for this: first, the food here is so bad that it is hard to swallow; Second, they don't have the need to eat at all. But why did they know in advance that the food here was unpalatable? There is no way to have a reasonable explanation for this, so you can pass it. The results are obviousβ"
"You mean, they don't need to eat?!"
"Mythology" is the highest degree of freedom in this online game, and the NPCs in this game are no different from normal people, not only have superb intelligence, but also have the same living habits as people in reality. For example, eating, sleeping
Even in the novice village, the old village chief is not always standing at the entrance of the village, and will often run around for one reason or another, so that those unlucky players often can't find anyone.
To increase the realism. NPCs not only eat and sleep, but also can brush up on friendship for different NPCs by doing things, giving gifts, etc.
The favorability is high.,What's the good thing.,The first thing that comes to mind for NPCs is the player with the highest favorability.,Needless to say, the benefits are needless to say.γ
Of course, this is equivalent to an investment tool, and it is also risky. It's also possible that you brush up your friendship to the highest level and get nothing, and of course, it is also possible that you can't improve it because you haven't found the right way.
All in all, if you just treat this game as a normal game, you're just the one who suffers. In particular, NPCs will adjust the difficulty of the mission appropriately within the scope of their authority according to the player's attitude. Then give you some tasks that obviously have no punishment, but add an option with a penalty after failure after deliberately increasing the difficulty.
It's over. Of course it doesn't matter, if it fails, hum.
That's why this game is so appealing, and why those players still refuse to give up on this game after so many problems.
It's so true, this game world is like a real second world, and everyone can start over here. Although the starting point is different, the world is undoubtedly more exciting and has more opportunities!
Having said so much. In short, there is only one sentence, it is impossible for people not to eat, and these people who attend the banquet do not touch it, it is too suspicious! Thus. They are not really NPCs.
"Illusion!"
The moment he said the essence of this place, Yang Xi's eyes turned into vertical pupils, and the golden light flashed and disappeared.
Under the illumination of this golden light, the space shattered like glass.
The venue is still the same venue. The music is still that music.
But the handsome men and women dancing on the dance floor have changed.
"Wow, what kind of handsome men and beautiful women are here, it's just a group of ghosts and skeletons fighting!"
Realize that your performance is exaggerated. After seeing Yang Xi's gaze, Asuna playfully stuck out her tongue.
"By the way, what did you just do?"
What was done?
Yang Xi didn't know how to answer, he only knew that at that moment, at the same time that he comprehended the essence of this, a prompt came from the system.
Ding, congratulations to the player for self-comprehension skill "True Eye", which can penetrate all falsehoods, point to the core of things, and not be confused by illusions.
The True Eye? Isn't that what I'm capable of? Isn't it sealed? Could it be that I can still actively retrieve it in this game?
Yang Xi's shocked expression made these girls see it, and mistakenly thought that he didn't know, so he didn't ask any more.
Anyway, as long as the problem is solved.
And Huang Lingyin, when she saw the food she wanted to eat before, directly lay on the side and vomited.
What kind of exquisite food is there, it's obviously a woman's corpse, and it's the kind that was brutally mutilated!
Especially the blood-drenched heart, as if it had just been dug up, was still beating and fluttering.
To say that the only thing that has not changed in the scene is the countess sitting on the main seat drinking fine wine.
She is still so noble and elegant.
It's just that as the wine in the glass gradually slides down the corners of her mouth, her lips are dyed red, and even her fair skin has a red mark and looks very bewitching.
What kind of wine is this, it's obviously blood!
After seeing the corpse of the girl on the table again, how could everyone not understand what was going on?
The flames of anger dispelled their previous fears, and even the hundreds of skeletons and ghosts here could not stop them from destroying the female demon.
"Die, you disgusting pervert! It's a disgrace to the aristocracy! β
Cecilia took the sniper rifle in her hand, quickly aimed at the opponent's head, and pulled the trigger.
I only heard a "bang", and the ghosts and skeletons that were still white before all turned into red hostile states, and they swarmed up and attacked. (To be continued......)
