Quadruple split

Game time AM12:28

Cang Yue Empire, Imperial Capital Permun, Royal District, Imperial Palace

"Good day, Your Majesty."

In front of the palace gate, a thin old man with white beard and hair raised his head, winked at Sola Cha, and asked with a smile: "Is the matter resolved?"

"not at all."

Xinglong, who didn't know who the other party was, but could clearly feel that it only took one thought to kill him, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Anyway, I plan to come back first to calm down the shock."

The old man laughed, raised his hand and patted Xinglong on the shoulder: "You can press as much as you want. Today, the servants and guards working in the palace have been sent back temporarily. Now there are only a few people in such a large palace. An unimportant half-dead old man like us is on duty. Although we can temporarily deal with some 'foreign troubles' that will never happen, 'internal troubles' are not our responsibility. Do you understand what I mean?"

"do not worry."

After realizing that the other party was probably positioned as a 'strongly trusted protector of the country', Xinglong immediately nodded respectfully and said seriously: "The matters between me and Bellica will naturally be decided by me and Bellica can handle it by two people, you just need to help and don't let other people join in the fun."

The old man nodded slightly and asked in a leisurely tone: "If you want to ask more, what exactly do you call 'miscellaneous people'?"

"At least today, except for Belika and me..."

Xinglong took a deep breath and said categorically: "Everyone is just an idler."

"I see."

The old man yawned, and then leaned against the palace door with his arms folded, and said calmly: "Then please go back to calm down your shock. From now on, until you and His Highness Bellica come out, I will promise No 'outsider' can enter the palace in any way."

"Thank you."

Xinglong, who didn't know what etiquette to use, nodded to the old man, and then walked in without stopping. Because he had memorized Leonardo's extremely detailed and almost eerie terrain map, even though it was his first time to enter. Palace, but Xinglong immediately found Cang Yue Emperor Sola Cha's favorite place to stay, which served as both a 'workplace' and a 'bedroom' - the Crescent Moon Room.

Commonly known as, study room.

The ancient Chinese emperor's home outside the game is called Yushufang.

All in all, although this room has the function of a study, its single-floor area is nearly 500 square meters. Even leaving aside the rows of books and shelves filled with handicrafts on both sides, the first floor of this building is full of space. It is more spacious and transparent than the ordinary basketball court outside the game.

"Isn't it a little too obvious..."

Walking quickly to the long desk at the end, Xinglong picked up a bottle from the table. Although it looked like a teapot, in the player's eyes, the panel clearly said "Five Beasts Aphrodisiac Wine", exuding a rich The alcohol-scented 'drink' opened the lid with a subtle expression and drank the liquid inside.

Next, there was a series of violent coughs. After all, except for the use of wine by some people with allergies, it is almost impossible for the system to use sensory protection to harmonize it. Therefore, the wine that Xinglong drinks can be said to be 'authentic'. ', although for most ethanol lovers, this priceless palace special wine is definitely the best wine, but for people like Xinglong who don't usually drink alcohol, and drink some fruit wine, they will turn red. , it’s still a bit too advanced.

Fortunately, with Xinglong’s physical fitness in the realm of innocence, this pot of [Five Beasts Aphrodisiac Wine] could not make him drunk at all, so after a violent cough that was simply due to being unaccustomed to the high alcohol content, Xinglong It returned to normal almost instantly.

[Normal] in every sense of the word!

That's right, after drinking a bottle of wine, as mentioned in the mission description, the DEBUFF on Xinglong's body that severely restricted him, that is, [one spring breeze, legs weak for three days] has been completely removed. In other words, his strength and physical attributes that were originally forcibly weakened to 55% have returned to normal. In addition, there is an unexpected joy, that is, after drinking a pot of aphrodisiac wine, all the normal functions of Xinglong All talents and skills that were on cooldown had their CDs reset and were ready to be used at any time.

This effect has never been shown in the mission text and the item description of [Five Beasts Aphrodisiac Wine] before. It is obviously a hidden content that requires players to detect it through personal experimentation, just like the theme in the Awakening Dragon mission is 'dare to act, dare to take responsibility. Confronting the Queen head-on, just like Zhenfu Gang's [Special Mission], although there is only a description without explanation, but in fact, as early as the moment Xinglong chose to leave the Honghua Club through the back door, he violated the 'dare to act' and The two sets of keywords 'positive' can no longer accomplish this task.

Of course, Xinglong had no intention of doing that mission which was more like a 'ten deaths and no life' than a 'nine deaths'. He was a professional player after all. Although he didn't fall into the trap right away, in the past six months, But you have already understood the bad aspects of the Innocence System. The most representative point is that if you find that a certain behavior may bring you a 'reward' that is ten times more than expected, then if nothing unexpected happens , the risk must be at least twenty to thirty times higher than expected. In extreme cases, even fifty to one hundred times is not impossible.

It's not just him, Rebecca is also like this. So, although both of them have received very important special tasks, they have no intention of doing it. After all, for a qualified professional player, there is such a thing as 'gain and loss'. It must be calculated, so there are many risks with low cost performance, no matter how tempting the rewards are, it is impossible for professional players with good discipline to waver even half a cent.

Coincidentally, both Xinglong and Rebecca are the absolute core of their respective clubs, so they are almost full in terms of discipline. After all, even if something happens to other teammates, the impact may not be great, but If these two core members are often overheated, the consequences will be disastrous.

All in all, at the very beginning of the game, they avoided the huge hidden danger of [Special Mission] early on, played the game steadily and at their own pace, and at this moment each achieved what they thought was a relatively good situation.

On the Awakening Dragon side, the old man who had passed through the palace gate avoided the 'external intervention' in advance and got a decisive battle stage between himself and Rebecca, and used the [Five Beasts Aphrodisiac Wine] to improve his basic attributes and skills. Cooldown time returned to normal.

On Rebecca's side, she has removed the worry that [Capture Action] will be infinitely close to sudden death after the one-hour duration. Not only that, with the special resource rage value and the gain of [Capture Action], At this moment, she seemed to be in the best condition since she entered the world of innocence.

Ever since——

"It's okay, Linda. After all, it should be the time for the two of us to 'talk'."

In front of the palace, Rebecca turned to smile at Linda Bresne, who was intercepted by the old man outside, and then nodded to Lionel Marshall who was standing next to the latter: "Then, I'll excuse you first. ”

"Your Highness Bellica."

However, Lionel softly stopped Rebecca and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "I know very well how ridiculous Solacha's actions are, but..."

"You don't need to say such things."

Linda angrily interrupted Earl Marshall, who was worried that the emperor would have some good and bad things. She gritted her teeth and said: "Belika knows what to do..."

[Yes, of course I know what to do. 】

The corner of her mouth raised an arc of unknown meaning, and Rebecca didn't say anything. She just waved to the two of them again, then turned and walked into the palace.

…

"Seriously, Linda."

While watching Rebecca's back fade away, Lionel Marshall lowered his voice and asked the Crossflower Duke next to him: "Is it really okay to leave Bellica and Sola Cha alone?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Linda folded her arms and pouted, "They have been together for so many years, what can happen to them."

"That's true, but those years before...sigh..."

Lionel twitched the corners of his lips and said dryly: "All together, it's not as complicated as today."

Linda shook her head, and sat down at the entrance of the palace with some frustration. She hugged her calves and put her head on her knees and hummed: "If you ask me, you should stop worrying about these things that you can't control and can't control." It’s over.”

"This is the royal palace, and you, the Grand Duke of Cross Flowers, are concerned about your image."

Looking down at the very unkempt Linda, Lionel sighed deeply and said helplessly: "I don't want to worry about it, but it's not a question of whether I want it or not. Just replace it with Sola tea." When I think about it, my legs start to wobble."

Linda snorted noncommittally, and after a while, she glanced at Lionel faintly, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm more worried about Bellica than Sola Tea."

"Why?"

…

"Because Her Highness Bellica has long regarded Sola Tea as everything to her."

Damas Remedip in the Demon Realm shrugged and said calmly: "So no matter how sad, upset, or angry she is, she will never really hurt His Majesty Solacha, and this has nothing to do with What about family, interests, and responsibilities? It’s just pure love and admiration for your lover.”

"I don't understand."

Rebecca shook her head honestly.

"That's natural."

Damas smiled, spread his hands and said, "After all, you are not the real Her Majesty Belika Hopkins, so how can you understand her feelings for Her Majesty Solacha?"

"you're right."

Rebecca, who had already walked to the [Crescent Moon Room], sighed and said helplessly: "So I found that although I could barely substitute for Bellica Hopkins at the beginning, this kind of 'substitution' The effect is getting worse and worse. In the final analysis, I still can’t understand her feelings for Sola Tea at all.”

Damas winked playfully and said leisurely: "It can be seen that you are a pure and good girl, so... this unknown lady, what are you going to do next?"

"I need some emotional upheaval, otherwise it would be a fool's errand to beat him."

Rebecca pushed open the door between the Crescent Moon and walked slowly towards the figure at the end of the room, murmuring in a low voice: "But taking the path of Queen Belica has now been proven to be useless. "

Damas did not speak, but silently listened to Rebecca's whispering murmur, his eyes focused and serious.

"But I'm afraid I only have this chance, so no matter how reluctant I am, I can only bite the bullet..."

After taking a deep breath, Rebecca Hopkins, who was completely out of her 'Belika' state, stood about five meters away from the man behind the case, suddenly raised her head and used her recovered Looking at Xinglong with bright eyes, he said solemnly: "Long time no see, Dragon."

Thinking that Rebecca would probably be stunned for a moment by the awakening dragon that had just attacked without any explanation, she then nodded politely and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Ms. Hopkins."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to be polite."

Rebecca shook her head and showed a refreshing and bright smile to Xinglong: "We have never interacted with each other very much, and I also know that my level is not enough for you to judge Dragon, so there is no need to worry about my self-esteem... "

"It's not a pretense."

Xinglong interrupted the self-deprecating smile on Rebecca's face and said seriously: "I remember that exhibition match back then, and I also remember that you played very badly, especially at the beginning, the operation was almost deformed. I wonder if you are sleepwalking."

Rebecca: "...Eh?!"

"But that's probably because of nervousness."

Xinglong smiled and said in a brisk tone: "I know very well, Ms. Hopkins, that your strength is definitely not at the level you showed that day, so I have always hoped to have a good match with you who have no reservations. "

Rebecca pursed her lips and asked after a while: "You... didn't lie to me? How did you know that I was..."

"Because I don't want to lose."

Xinglong answered matter-of-factly, saying sternly: "So after I learned that my opponent was you, I have been looking for videos and analysis of your past games, so that I can naturally see what your true level is. "

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Rebecca suddenly said loudly and abruptly: "I hate you, Dragon!"

Xinglong showed a somewhat surprised expression, but quickly nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand."

"Then, I have a few things to tell you, and one more thing to ask you!"

"good."

"Do I have your approval?"

"Unfortunately, not really. In fact, what I'm looking forward to most right now is..."

"The next battle is with Cordoba, right?"

"Actually, I wanted to say it was a fight with the next winner, but okay, that's probably what you said."

"Okay, then the question time is over, now you listen to me."

"good."

"I'm your fan, Dragon. I've been your fan since the year you debuted."
