Wang Fugui looked at the black ball in his hand that he didn't know what it was made of, similar to rice balls, and a bowl of clear soup with a few vegetable leaves floating on it, and he couldn't swallow it for a long time.

And Lu He said on the side:

"I advise you to eat a little more, otherwise, with the realism of this game, you will definitely have a hunger debuff in a while."

Hearing Lu He's words, Wang Fugui gritted his teeth and gnawed on the dry black rice ball in his hand with some difficulty.

It turns out that although the rice balls are unappetizing, they feel a bit like chewing sand, and they have no taste or other drawbacks.

At this moment, Wang Fugui saw that not far away, a father was comforting the child in his arms in a hurry, trying to feed the bowl of clear soup with vegetable leaves in his hand to the child's mouth, but the child in his arms kept crying, and accidentally, the clear soup in his father's hand spilled on the ground.

Seeing his father's sad eyes, Wang Fugui was a little unbearable, and hurriedly gave the clear soup in his hand to his father.

When Wang Fugui returned to Lu He in his father's thousand thanks, Lu He suddenly said:

"Isn't it a bit disappointing that the hidden quest wasn't triggered?"

Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled nonchalantly:

"So that's what you think? I didn't really think about it that much, maybe it was because the game was so real, and for a moment, I forgot that they were NPCs. ”

"Play games, just be happy, at least when that father thanked me, my heart was still quite happy, I feel that it has been a long time since anyone has thanked me so sincerely."

Inside Blackstone Castle, Ali is enjoying lunch with Munger, although because of the war, Aili's quality of life inevitably declines, but compared to the refugees outside, Aili's lunch is countless times better.

At the dinner table, Eli pretended to ask Munger unintentionally:

"Listening to what you just said, it seems that someone deliberately revealed my father's whereabouts to the grassland people?"

Munger, who had just eaten a bite of mashed potatoes, was startled by Eli's words, and couldn't stop coughing, and after a while, Munger swallowed the mashed potatoes, and said with a wry smile:

"My lord, I can't think of any other reason, Duke Sosyad is not one of those novices who have only been trained, but have never seen blood, and only have the name of a knight."

Hearing Munger's words, Eli nodded, but before Eli could continue to speak, Munger preemptively said:

"My lord, if you want to ask me who leaked the whereabouts of the Duke, I can only answer that I don't know."

"But maybe we can think differently and see who is best for this?"

Hearing Munger's words, Eli's brows couldn't help frowning, and he muttered:

"The most advantageous thing is undoubtedly those nobles under the command of our Sosyad family, if ...... If Blackstone Fort has fallen, my father and I will die here, and they will be able to set foot on this land in the name of avenging the monarch. ”

"At that time, this land will become terra nullius, and they will only need to evict the steppe people who will not stay here for long, and they can become the masters of this land."

Munger on the side calmly added:

"So, I would like to remind your lord that if you can't be sure of loyalty, you'd better let your messengers go to a few more places, or simply send a few more messengers to take your oracles to different vassals under your command to avoid accidents."

Hearing Munger's words, Eli subconsciously asked:

"Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

Munger rightly said:

"Your Excellency, first of all, your rootless people have not yet found a way to send the letter out, and more importantly, as an Imperial Earl, you should learn to think about these issues for yourself, after all, not every crisis, I can be there for you."

Hearing Munger's words, Eli couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that what Munger said was right.

Unlike those "players", this world is the real world for you, and you don't have a chance to come back from the dead.

I have been focusing on how to send the letter before, but I forgot that the people of this world are not NPCs that players mistakenly think, they are real people, and I can't bet my fate on their loyalty.

In the afternoon, Wang Fugui and Lu He, who were still looking for possible "mission items" in the Black Stone Castle, met Ai Li again.

Seeing Ai Li, who was obviously coming for himself, Wang Fugui said with some excitement:

"You say, did the planner see that we really can't get by, so he's going to reduce the difficulty for me?"

Lu He nodded, and said with some loss:

"It should be a program that has been set up for a long time, similar to the setting that players cannot clear the level within a certain period of time, and the system will automatically reduce the difficulty of clearing the level. Damn, I don't know if I can choose, I don't want to lower the difficulty! ”

Wang Fugui glanced at Lu He a little strangely:

"You're insane! Isn't it good to reduce the difficulty? You're so fond of looking for abuse? ”

Lu He didn't bother to explain to Wang Fugui, and only left one sentence:

"You don't understand!"

In the eyes of the two Duddy, Ai Li walked up to the two and said:

"Two adventurers in an exotic land, something has gone wrong with our plans."

Hearing Ai Li's words, Wang Fugui said again and again:

"It's coming, you see that the NPC also knows that there is a problem with his plan, and the next step must be to change the mission objective!"

And Lu He sighed long, a little lacking in interest.

Eli continued:

"In order to prevent accidents, I need you to send a letter to at least five vassals under the command of the House of Sosyad, here is the map and the oracle with the seal of the House of Sosyad, can you do it?"

Hearing Ai Li's words, Wang Fugui was suddenly dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at Lu He in disbelief:

"Brother Tongtian, if I understand correctly, this game ...... Got the difficulty up again? ”

And Lu He suddenly became excited, nodded and said:

"That's right! Unexpectedly, the setting of this game is that it cannot be cleared within a certain period of time, and the difficulty of the game will continue to increase, such an anti-human design...... It's amazing! I love such a hardcore game! ”

Wang Fugui looked at Lu He dumbfounded, shook his head and said:

"I don't understand...... But I was blown away......"

Subsequently, Lu He, who was becoming more and more energetic, couldn't wait to take Wang Fugui with him and turned around in the Black Stone Fort again after accepting the task.

The two went to the bazaar, which was a bit depressed due to the war, and all the food was regulated.

Later, the two visited the workshop of the Black Stone Castle, and Wang Fugui also took Lu He to visit the weaving workshop in the workshop, but left with a disappointed face, and then the two were kicked out of the blacksmith shop.

In the end, the two climbed to the tallest building in Blackstone Castle, the spired tower, and at this time, the two also received a system prompt that the internal test server would be under daily maintenance for 12 hours, and the two had to decide to take it offline temporarily.

At the time of separation, Wang Fugui said:

"During the day, I'll find a horse farm and ask for a quick way to get equestrian, but it doesn't work, we'll try again tomorrow!"

Lu He also nodded, and said in his mouth:

"I'm also going to consult my peers to see if there's a good way."
