Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1052 Oil Painting

"The medieval castle basically does not consider the lighting problem, which is one of the reasons why not many people choose to buy a castle in the real world, because you need to spend a lot of money just to lay the circuit in the castle. After all, it is impossible for these circuits to be completely routed for safety reasons. There must be a circuit buried in the wall, but it will cost a lot of money to penetrate these stone walls."

   Alice knocked on the wall next to her and said, "I remember that some people in Huaxia have spent hundreds of millions in recent years to build a few new castles as tourist attractions and hotels?"

   Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen with some doubts, because Liu Xing really didn't know about this matter, but Liu Xing was sure that it should be true. . . In recent years, Huaxia has reproduced many famous foreign buildings, so it is not uncommon to build several castles.

At this time, Li Hanxing nodded and said with a smile: "I know this, I saw relevant news when I bought that castle, saying that a designer invested hundreds of millions to repair several castles, and the main The fort can be described as a high-end atmosphere, let alone the main fort where we are now, even the main fort of Duke Gundogan, but unfortunately this is just a man-made landscape, after all, it is just a theme hotel , so except for the initial period of time, there will be some tourists, but it can't be said to be a slogan later, because the nearby travel agencies that organize tours for the middle-aged and the elderly like this kind of attractions."

"My home is not far from the castle, so once I had nothing to do with my friends, and I went for a walk with my friends, and even stayed for one night. The experience can be said to be quite bad, basically the same as in a big city. Those chain hotels are one level, and the whole castle is not worth visiting, because many places are not finished yet, and there is no intention to continue to decorate, and the most interesting thing is when you come out of your room When you arrive, you will find that there are not many residents like you around, but there are many old men and women chattering in the hall below, and it feels like the entire castle is divided into two spaces."

"When I left that time, I also saw an elderly singing competition going to be held in the castle. I felt it was very strange. As for the other small castles, although I have not been to them, because the roads leading there are all It's still the kind of dirt road that has been leveled casually, but it is said that it has long been dilapidated, and can you imagine a picture of someone drying rice and corn outside a castle? This castle can only be said to be born at an untimely time, plus poor management , At that time, I thought about whether to buy the castle, because the price of the castle is still quite low, and the facilities are very modern."

"The castle next to your house? Oh, it's the castle. I remember that a very famous funny movie was filmed there recently. That's the only highlight of this castle, right?" Sun Huiwen, who was hiding in the dark, said.

   Hearing Sun Huiwen say this, a picture suddenly appeared in Liu Xing's mind, because Liu Xing also went to see the funny movie Sun Huiwen said. . . Although in the real world and not this parallel world.

  Wait, wasn't that castle originally CG?

   Liu Xing touched the back of his head, and suddenly some information appeared in his mind, or the memory of "Liu Xing".

After reading this memory, Liu Xing frowned and said: "Li Hanxing, the castle you mentioned should be called the written castle, right? I remember that the castle seemed to be closed half a year ago, although I don't know the specific reason, but I found a possibility from various revelations on the Internet, that is, there seems to be a gate leading to the dreamland in Wencheng Castle, so some mythical creatures came to the real world through this gate, which caused some personnel to go to the real world. However, such an incident is really difficult to handle, so the written castle can only be closed directly."

"Ah, is there still such a thing? It seems that my luck was not bad at the time, I didn't encounter those mythical creatures, otherwise you would not see me today, because I was injured and defenseless at that time. "Li Hanxing said with some fear.

   I don't know if anyone has dealt with the mods in the written castle. . . To be honest, Liu Xing really wants to go to Chengwen Castle now, because in the scene of that funny movie, Chengwen Castle still looks pretty good.

  Wait, I seem to have set up a flag for myself unknowingly.

   Liu Xing and the four chatted while watching the group of NPCs handling the food.

   I don't know if these NPCs have just started cooking, or if they intend to show them to their group. In short, these NPCs just processed the ingredients after Liu Xing and others arrived, and then started to grill.

"We'll have to let those two guys set up some torches on the road later, it's still quite troublesome to be blinded by the dark lights." Li Hanxing said, "But it's not a bad thing for us, because Sun Huiwen and I are still very friendly. Good at fighting in such dark places."

As Li Hanxing spoke, he stared at the rabbit on the grill, "If nothing else, those guys should hand us the rabbit on the grounds of women's priority, so Alice, you have to find a way to refuse first. One time, because we can't be sure right now if any of those seasonings were spiked."

"Heroes see the same thing." Alice whispered, "That rabbit was the first to go on the grill, so there is no reference value, and if those guys really want to do something small, then they are indeed It's possible to use this rabbit to **** us off."

   As expected, after the first rabbit was roasted and sprinkled with various well-known or unknown seasonings, one of the knight NPCs sent it over.

  As the only lady present, Alice refused with a smile: "No, no, you can eat first, we are here to eat, how can we eat before the host?"

   After some refusal, the knight NPC could only choose to pick up the rabbit and eat it.

   After confirming that there should be no problem with those seasonings, Alice took over today's dinner.

  One thing to say, the seasoning in this special world is quite good, and it can be regarded as a unique flavor.

  In this way, a dinner was finished safely, and at this time the moon was about to reach the designated position.

   So, Liu Xing and others came to the room again, and the two knight NPCs also instructed their men to put torches along the way.

  In the room, Alice volunteered to pick up the bronze mirror, and then found an angle to reflect the moonlight on the small bead.

   Liu Xing felt that there should be the sound of dice landing here, but unfortunately he couldn't hear it for the time being.

   But it didn't take long for Liu Xing to know that Alice's luck was very good this time, because the judgment was successful.

After the bead absorbed enough moonlight, it began to change from colorless and transparent to a slightly turbid white. Even Liu Xing could see that there seemed to be tiny cotton wool in the bead. fly.

   Soon, that little bead turned pure white. . . Then it's time to witness the miracle.

I saw that the small bead instantly changed back to a colorless and transparent state, and the key turned silently, and then everyone present heard a "click", and it seemed that the iron door was opened. .

At this time, the vigilance of Liu Xing and others has also been raised to the highest level, and Li Hanxing has already put his hand on the hilt, ready to draw the sword to attack at any time; as for Liu Xing and Sun Huiwen, they have already done it. Pounce on nearby NPCs and steal the preparations of their daggers from their waists.

Fortunately, these NPCs didn't plan to do it at this time, but the knight NPC who sent the rabbit took a step forward and silently pushed Alice away, apparently wanting to open the secret room by himself. iron gate.

   Alice did not say anything, of course, but stood back to Liu Xing and others.

   After the two knight NPCs made eye contact, the iron gate was finally slowly pushed open. . . Then, the figure that pushed the iron door suddenly stopped, and finally fell down under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

   At this time, Liu Xing and others discovered that there was a knife silently on the head of this knight NPC, and it hit his forehead.

  The NPCs present were all dumbfounded and at a loss.

"This knife should be poisonous, otherwise it won't even be able to say a scream." Alice frowned and said: "It stands to reason that we opened the mechanism correctly, because if it is through the wrong way. Opened the trap, then this should not be a knife, but a poisonous mist gushing out from the secret room."

Liu Xing nodded, raised his voice and said: "It seems that we underestimated this iron door. In fact, this iron door requires a total of three steps to be opened safely. The first step is to get the correct key, and the second step is to get the correct key. The first step is to activate the small bead with moonlight, and the last step is to open the door correctly, that is, the iron door should be pulled open, not directly pushed open."

The reason why Liu Xing raised the volume was to preemptively. He tried his best to disassociate himself from this sudden incident, and characterize it as the knight NPC who chose the wrong way to open the door, lest the living knight NPC Take the opportunity to make things happen.

However, the current situation is indeed even worse for Liu Xing and others, because when they went downstairs, Liu Xing and others discussed one thing, that is, if their party finds that these two knight NPCs are going to cross the river and demolish the bridge , If you remove the grind and kill the donkey, then your group will have to find a way to use the alienation plan.

Although these two knight NPCs seem to be good brothers, Liu Xing and others are very clear that these two guys should be money fans, so if there is a chance to enjoy a treasure, they should not Choose to reject.

   But now it's good, I didn't expect that the mechanism that opened the door would directly solve one of the knight NPCs, and the remaining knight NPC could justly recruit his good brother's subordinates.

   As a result, although Liu Xing and others lost one enemy, the remaining enemies were all of one mind.

   Now it's a bit of a hassle.

But fortunately, the remaining knight NPC may have taken into account that there may be organs in the secret room, or that he did not intend to take action if he did not see the treasure. Of course, it is also possible that Liu Xing and others have the heart of a villain. The belly of a gentleman, in short, he did not choose to do it at this time, but ordered a squire to go up and open the iron door according to what Liu Xing just said.

   That squire was also a smart man, he hid directly behind the iron gate, and then slowly opened the iron gate.

   This time, the mechanism was not triggered again. It seems that this iron door really needs to be opened instead of being pushed open.

   It seems that the original owner of this castle was indeed a smart man, and I don’t know how this smart man ended up in the middle of the family.

  Because of the lessons learned, Liu Xing and others were very careful when entering the secret room, but nothing happened.

   And the area of ​​this secret room is not too big, it is a rectangular space of about 50 square meters, and there are a bunch of large and small boxes next to the wall.

   But what bothered Liu Xing and others the most was that there was only one oil painting in the secret room besides these boxes. This oil painting was of a young man in a noble dress, but the young man had an eastern appearance.

  Oda Nobunaga!

   Liu Xing and others immediately recognized that the character on the oil painting was Oda Nobunaga, because after coming to the island country, Liu Xing and others had seen many paintings about Oda Nobunaga.

   But the question comes again, that is, why did Oda Nobunaga's oil painting appear here?

  According to the current known situation, this oil painting is less than ten years old, so this oil painting is likely to be completed after the former owner of the castle fell into the house and was forced to leave the castle.

   This means that Duke Gundogan should have been here before, and he brought this oil painting!

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing and others have a clear understanding.

   At this moment, an NPC couldn't help but open a box, and then saw more than ten gold bars neatly placed in the box.

   For a moment, the secret room was full of exclamations, and Liu Xing noticed that the eyes of those NPCs suddenly became wrong.

   Fortunately, Liu Xing and others have long regarded money as dung. Even if these gold bars can be brought out of this special world, Liu Xing and others are not interested in taking one.

   At this moment, Alice said decisively, "Can you pass me that oil painting?"

   The remaining NPC looked at Alice in surprise, but he didn't say anything, so he arranged for his subordinates to hand the oil painting to Alice.

   After getting the oil painting, Liu Xing and others began to exit the secret room very tacitly.
