Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1071 The Last Night

"It seems that the two titles and medals in our hands can't do anything. We can only guarantee that we can leave this special world alive, but then again, Alice, have you found a suitable 'buyer'?" Liu Star continued to ask.

Alice nodded, pointed to the top of her head and said, "We are all under the command of Marquis Zum now, because although most members of the public faction have joined Zum, Zum still manages them very strictly. , so we don't need to worry about the members of the public faction daring to deal with us in a big way, and Zum also gave us a few nameplates to prove our identity, which are now in my room, and I will take them off later. For you, when we go to the main castle, we will try not to be alone, and it will be better if we can always operate under the eyes of Zum and his cronies."

   Hearing that Alice chose Zum as the "buyer", Liu Xing and the three all breathed a sigh of relief, because from the current situation, it is indeed the best choice for their group to join Zum's command.

The reason is very simple. Now the public faction has obtained the Marquis Medal and the Earl Medal, which makes their advantage very large, and also makes the value of the Baron Medal and Viscount Medal in the hands of Liu Xing and others invisibly decreased a lot. And also forcibly ruled out a "wrong" option for Liu Xing and others - Rocken and Conaway.

Liu Xing and others have also analyzed before. In this "Treasure Hunt Contest", each faction has set its own goals. Among them, the guaranteed goal of Roken and Conaway is the Earl Medal or the Marquis Medal. It would be better to get the Duke Medal, so the Viscount Medal and the Baron Medal are actually dispensable in their eyes, so Liu Xing and others took the Viscount Medal and the Baron Medal to join Roken and Conaway. If so, although it should not be closed, don't expect much of the attitude of Conaway and Roken.

  The most important thing is that Conaway and Loken are likely to be persuaded by members of the public faction!

Liu Xing and others are very clear that if members of the public faction have found out that their party is from the Wu family faction, or they regard their party as a threat, then they will definitely try to get rid of their party and will not let their party go. Leave this special mod alive.

Therefore, members of the public faction are likely to come up with the Earl's Medal to do business with the two Conaways, or to put it simply, the two of them turn a blind eye, so that they can attack Liu Xing, etc. people.

   I believe Conaway and Roken should not refuse.

   Therefore, the current Conaway and Roken camps have become a wrong choice for Liu Xing and others.

As for the Locke and Green camps, although this can't be said to be a wrong choice, it's actually not much better, because it's still the same sentence - Locke and Green are too weak, maybe the public factions don't need to please them, just Will directly start with Liu Xing and others.

   So Liu Xing and others all know that if they join the Locke and Green camp, the probability of life and death is almost 50-50.

Of course, if you choose to stand on your own, Liu Xing and others will be dead, because the NPCs in the entire castle will become enemies, and they will join the members of the public faction to surround and suppress their group. After all, the Viscount and Baron medals are still quite good. fragrant.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, Liu Xing and others know that joining Zum's subordinates is the best choice. First of all, even if members of the public faction get the Earl's Medal and the Marquis' Medal, it is impossible to have too much influence on Zum. , so there is no need to worry too much that Zum will be too partial to the public faction, and even Zum may be dissatisfied with the public faction because he is "unacquainted"; then there is another point - the public faction has ten members Eight or nine will use the Earl Medal and the Marquis Medal as a bargaining chip to exchange for the last little hammer that can knock the horseshoe from Zum, so Zum and the public faction are still a deal, so Zum is even less likely to be too much. Value the members of the public faction.

"It seems that your thoughts are similar to mine, and you think that it is impossible for Zum to stand on the side of the public faction, because before I officially swore allegiance to Zum, I observed him carefully and found that it was with us. As I guessed before, he is a very proud and conceited guy, so even if the members of the public faction gave him the Marquis Medal and the Earl Medal, in his eyes, the members of the public faction are still only his subordinates, and he has not negotiated conditions with him. qualifications."

   Liu Xing nodded, such a Zum is indeed what he wants to see most.

   Just when Liu Xing was about to speak, Li Hanxing suddenly said: "However, we have to be a little mentally prepared - Zum is a chameleon!"

   Liu Xing and Sun Huiwen raised their brows, while Alice looked puzzled.

   Liu Xing looked at Alice, who didn't know the truth, and simply told everything that happened in these "days".

After knowing the existence of the chameleon, Alice frowned and said: "So, Zum may indeed be a chameleon, although Zum and Duke Gundogan back then could be said to be father and son soldiers, but Zum was in Many times he did not act with his father, because Duke Gundogan often arranged for Zum to go to other places to represent himself in the army as a messenger, and even occasionally used Zum as a bait to attract the attention of the enemy, So from the perspective of a chameleon, it is not difficult for me to replace Zum, and I can easily approach Duke Gundogan after becoming Zum, but the most important thing is that I will have more Choice - you can either find a way to replace Duke Gundogan, or you can find an opportunity to kill Duke Gundogan and ascend to the throne as Zum!"

"And in the past few days, I have also heard a lot of news about Zum from the nobles, including a piece of news that Zum was accidentally ambushed in the process of being a bait, although he led the way. His own soldiers fought a **** way, but they were also in a coma for several days because of the arrows in their bodies. Afterwards, they had a big quarrel with Duke Gundogan, feeling that his father did not regard him as a son at all. , so the relationship between Zum and Duke Gundogan became very bad during that time, and it can even be said that they almost turned against each other, and then slowly recovered a little, but there is still some gap between the two."

"Because of this, many people believe that the reason why Duke Gundogan has never officially established Zum as his heir is because this conflict made Duke Gundogan feel that Zum does not respect himself enough. You must know that this special The background of the world can be said to be completely based on the Middle Ages. It is actually normal for a rebellious guy like Zum to be deprived of his inheritance. Even if he is expelled from his family, no one will speak for him; there is another rumor that can be used here, that is, in Beijing After the Duke of Dogan was confirmed that the time was running out, Zum once brought Conaway and Roken to ask to see the Duke of Gundogan, hoping that the Duke of Gundogan could decide his successor before his death, so as to avoid a brother wall. Farce, but Duke Gundogan still chose to remain silent."

"And this? If these two things are true, then Duke Gundogan may really make Zum the number one suspect, but I heard that many guards in the castle are Duke Gundogan. The personal soldiers brought back?" Sun Huiwen said.

"Yes, the guards in the castle are basically the personal soldiers brought back by Duke Gundogan, and Duke Gundogan usually likes to drink with them, eat meat, or go out hunting, but I don't think Chameleon It will be mixed in with these personal soldiers, because before Duke Gundogan's accident, there were not only no casualties in the castle, but no personnel changes, which means that the chameleon has always used the same identity in the castle!"

"Do more, make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes, and it's good not to do it." Liu Xing said with a smile: "Although this sentence is a fallacy in some places, but for the chameleon, this should be its code of conduct, if If it can, it is definitely not willing to change its identity after entering the castle, so the possibility that the chameleon is Zum is very high. After all, there are only a few people who have the opportunity to poison Duke Gundogan; but we can't either. Another possibility is ruled out, that is, the chameleon thinks in a different position, leaves the battlefield directly after realizing that the overall situation is settled, and returns to become Roken or Conaway before Duke Gundogan returns to the court?"

Li Hanxing on the side shook his head and said seriously: "If this is the case, then there is actually a possibility that the chameleon still wants to turn the tide in the end, but still loses to the Duke of Jingduoan, so it only It will want to replace Duke Gundogan, but it also knows that its old friend, the dark horse, is by Duke Gundogan's side, so it knows that it is not easy for him to get close to Duke Gundogan, so it knows that Duke Gundogan is not easy. After the mistakes he made when he was young, he decided to replace Locke or Green first, so that he could keep a distance from Duke Gundogan and have the opportunity to let Duke Gundogan meet with it privately to facilitate it."

   When Li Hanxing said this, everyone couldn't help falling into silence.

After a while, Liu Xing said with a wry smile: "Our analysis is really as fierce as a tiger. In the end, we suspect that the target is still those few people, but we can still rank Zum's five people in an order, I think the most likely The chameleon should be Zum, followed by Locke or Green, and finally Conaway and Rocken."

"I agree."

  Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen said in unison.

As for Alice, after thinking for a moment, she also nodded and said: "I agree with Liu Xing, your ranking, because the dark horse mentioned that the chameleon has no way to prevent it from exuding that strange smell, so the chameleon is Conaway. The possibility of being with Roken is the lowest. After all, Duke Gundogan is still very concerned about his two sons, and he usually has more opportunities to contact each other. Therefore, if the chameleon becomes Conaway and Roken, there will be higher The probability was discovered in advance; as for Zum, after breaking up with his father, except for some necessary occasions, the two of them didn't spend much time together, and Locke and Green lived directly outside the castle, and they were with each other all year round. There are not many opportunities for Duke Gundogan to meet, so if the chameleon becomes them, it can indeed be easily hidden until now."

Seeing that Alice and the three of them agreed with their ideas, Liu Xing said seriously: "Then let's watch out for chameleons according to this ranking, but if we can, we don't make extra troubles, anyway, even if the chameleon becomes the new duke, It doesn't have much to do with us, because we are unlikely to come back after leaving this special world, so we don't need to care so much, and even if necessary, we can choose to cooperate with the chameleon, after all, the chameleon is leaving After the forest has been doing things everywhere, I think it should have a lot of good things in its hands, and the effects of these things are at least not inferior to that horseshoe with great side effects, right?"

   As soon as Liu Xing said this, everyone showed a knowing smile at the same time.

   At this moment, Liu Xing and others suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves resounding at the entrance of the castle. It seems that Zum should lead the team back.

   At the same time, Liu Xing and others also noticed that the sun above his head began to fall rapidly, and the sky soon became dark.

   "It seems that tonight will be a little long." Alice said with a pun: "Then I'll go up and get the nameplate first, and then let's go to the main castle."

   When Alice walked up the second floor and entered her room, Liu Xing whispered four words.

   "Ghroth?"

   "Nine times out of ten!"

Li Hanxing nodded and said: "Although I and Sun Huiwen have verified with the dark horse and the flame monitor lizard separately, what they saw at that time was indeed the red moonlight, not the rust-red moonlight, and they certainly did not hear it during the duration of the red moonlight. Any strange sounds, but we still have reason to suspect that they have accepted the 'blessing' of Ghroth, because although there are many original mythical creatures in the game hall of the Cthulhu running group, and princesses like Princess Taketori are very popular. It is not uncommon for famous gods in the real world to be regarded as original ancient gods, but so far there has not been an original Old One, so we have reason to suspect that it is Ghroth who emits the red moonlight."

"Besides that, the old rulers like Ghroth who come with their own BGM are not open anytime, anywhere, or the celestial voice of Ghroth may not be a simple sound in nature. , but more like when we found it, there was an auditory hallucination because of the reduced san value, after all, the sound of the air defense alarm represents an impending disaster to us!"
