   Chapter 1040 Two other castles (for subscription)

Liu Xing shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, I can be sure that I didn't hear the footsteps of the middle-aged butler when he came, and it felt like he suddenly appeared at the door... It seems that this special module is in There may be more secrets than we thought."

"Yeah, I didn't hear the footsteps of the middle-aged housekeeper just now, but Liu Xing, please go to the second floor and call Alice to see if she wants to go to the main castle for breakfast." Li Hanxing glanced. said the second floor.

   Liu Xing was about to turn upstairs when he saw Alice rubbing her eyes and pushing open her door.

   "Why didn't you wake me up? When I was half asleep, I saw the sun was already outside the window, and it woke me up." Alice complained.

   Liu Xing shrugged and told Alice what had just happened.

   "Two suns? This seems to be quite interesting, but it should imply that something beyond our imagination will happen in this mirage. These two suns are just an appetizer." Alice touched her chin and said.

   Liu Xing nodded and asked: "Then Alice, are you going to go to the main castle for breakfast? If you want to go, you have to hurry up. After all, it still takes a few minutes from us to the main castle."

"Of course I have to go. I suspect that this breakfast is the first test that Mirage has prepared for us, because my title is only a knight. If I refuse to eat this breakfast without a suitable reason, it is very likely that Played by Zum, by the way, I now think Zum should be our worst enemy, because in his eyes, our distant relatives are a group of greedy hyenas, we should all be damned!"

   "Unless we are willing to be his subordinates and obey him."

Li Hanxing shrugged and said with a wry smile: "So Alice, you should hurry over there, I think those knights in the public faction should have already gone to the main castle. If you are the last one to go now, it is very likely that you will be late. Sneaked by Zum."

  Alice smiled and nodded, then opened the door and walked towards the main castle.

   After the three of Liu Xing looked at each other, Liu Xing followed behind Alice honestly.

Although to be honest, Liu Xing really didn't want to follow Alice to the main castle, because Liu Xing was worried that members of the public faction would see himself and Alice, and thus decided that Alice was not an NPC in this special module .

   At that time, Alice is likely to be targeted by members of the public faction.

   However, Liu Xing also knew very well that the nobles in the Middle Ages were still very particular about arranging their faces, so he still had to be Alice's follower.

At this time, Alice had already grasped her figure, so she said without turning her head: "Hey, Liu Xing, do you think it would be better for us to join that camp? I think if nothing else happens, we will be at the dinner table later. Zum and the others should start the first round of confrontation, if we want to join the flower of a certain faction, it is best to make a choice at this time, so that we will have a certain right to speak in this faction.”

Liu Xing thought about it and said, "I think it's better to wait and see what happens. At present, we don't know what is going on with this special module, so we can still delay it today, and wait until tomorrow. make a decision."

   After talking, Liu Xing and Alice came to the gate of the main castle.

   Fortunately, only the middle-aged butler was waiting at the entrance of the main castle at this time, and no members of the public faction were seen.

   "You go back first."

  Alice also knew what Liu Xing was thinking, so she sent Liu Xing away in front of the middle-aged housekeeper.

Seeing this, the middle-aged butler lowered his body respectfully and said: "Miss Alice, Marquis Zum and the others are already in place, please go to the banquet hall on the first floor for dinner now, and I will arrange for the breakfast for your entourage to be delivered by the servants. of."

   "Thank you very much then."

  Alice smiled and walked straight to the banquet hall.

At this moment, Liu Xing was about to turn around and leave when he heard the middle-aged butler stop him, "By the way, you can go to the stables later after breakfast and bring a horse to your Miss Alice, because Mr. It's possible that those knighthoods were hidden in the other two castles."

   And two castles?

   Liu Xing thought about it carefully and felt that this was actually expected, because if this special module only has such a castle, then it is not easy to explain that Zum found nothing when he first searched the castle.

   "Okay, but where is the stable?" Liu Xing asked politely.

The middle-aged butler pointed to the back of the main castle and said, "It's right behind, you just need to go around the main castle later to find the stables. After all, the smell of the stables is still very obvious, because the master liked to ride horses very much during his lifetime, so naturally I like to collect all kinds of horses. Unfortunately, Marquis Zum was injured when he fell off his horse when he was a child, so Marquis Zum was very resistant to riding, so he did not like the good horses left by his father. I don’t care, this period has directly reduced the daily expenses of the stables by about half.”

   Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Butler for your advice, then I'll go back first."

   The middle-aged butler waved his hand, and then entered the main castle on his own.

   Liu looked at the middle-aged butler's back with some doubts.

   Because Liu Xing felt that the middle-aged housekeeper's attitude towards Zum was a bit strange.

Because Zum is the eldest son of Duke Gundogan, the middle-aged butler should call Zum the eldest young master, but instead he called Zum "Marquis Zum". ?

After    went back, Liu Xing told Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen about the problem.

"This housekeeper's name for Zum is indeed a bit of a life, or it is official business, because now the Duke of Gundogan has gone, and the whereabouts of the Duke's medal are still unknown, so Zum is only a temporary part of this castle. Master, if other people take out the Duke's Medal, then Zum can only leave the castle in despair. At that time, he is really just a marquis in the eyes of the butler... So do you think there is such a thing? One possibility is that there is a title medal, or even a Duke medal, in the hands of that steward!" Li Hanxing suddenly slapped his thigh and said.

"Isn't it possible? This middle-aged butler's status in this castle is good, but he shouldn't have the ability to secretly hide Duke Gundogan's title medal? Eunuch." Liu Xing shook his head and said, "I think this butler may just simply think that Zum doesn't have much chance to become a duke. He may be more optimistic about Conaway and Roken."

"Not always."

Sun Huiwen said seriously: "Judging from the appearance and figure of Zum and the others, I think their age should be about ten or twenty years old, so the Duke of Jingduoan will not be more than forty years old at the most. After all, the ancient people's The average life expectancy is relatively low, which leads to their early marriage age. Therefore, I think that the middle-aged butler is likely to be the former personal soldier of Duke Gundogan. Don't forget that the middle-aged butler was able to stay silent just now. Soundly touched our door."

   Hearing Sun Huiwen say this, Liu Xing recalled it carefully and found that the middle-aged butler seemed to be the personal soldier of Duke Gundogan, because his body and behavior were very similar to a soldier.

"When we go to the stables later, let's see if we can find someone to inquire about the situation of this middle-aged butler. If this middle-aged butler is really the personal soldier of Duke Gundogan, then this special module may be very interesting. "

Having said this, Li Hanxing showed a mysterious smile, "Perhaps the reason why Duke Gundogan's titles and medals disappeared is not because Duke Gundogan died suddenly and he didn't have time to tell where he was hiding the titles and medals. , but because Duke Gundogan did it on purpose."

Liu Xing raised his brows and said with a smile: "Li Hanxing, what you mean is that Duke Gundogan doesn't want Zum to be his heir, so he united his former personal soldiers and the current housekeeper to hide those titles and medals first. , are you going to wait until the last moment to hand over these titles and medals to Conaway and the others?"

Li Hanxing nodded and said affirmatively: "Although Zum is the only son who accompanied Duke Gundogan on the battlefield, because he had a psychological shadow on horse riding when he was young, I think Zum's performance on the battlefield It should be unsatisfactory, and even ran to make soy sauce. After all, a noble like him should be a cavalry soldier who takes the lead, but I think Zum is most likely to ride on a horse and show off, really let him Leading the charge is basically impossible."

"So coupled with Zum's bad temper, Duke Gundogan might not want Zum to inherit his position. After all, Duke Gundogan also made some mistakes when he was young. If I choose to 'solve' those mistakes because of my fame, I think Duke Gundogan is likely to pop out of the coffin; so to sum up, Duke Gundogan is really likely to unite with his most trusted personal soldiers. The Order of Merit is hidden."

   "Who do you think Duke Gundogan is going to pass on his position to?" Liu Xing asked.

Li Hanxing touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Then I don't know for the time being, because we have a certain understanding of Zum now, but they still know very little about Conaway, and there is no analysis at all. However, I think the ideal heir to Duke Gundogan is either Conaway or Roken, because Green and Jacques are destined to be escorts because of their backgrounds."

"That's right, if Jacques or Green become the dukes, then in all likelihood they won't be able to see the sun the next day, because their foundations are too shallow, so Duke Gundogan should not let them go. Death, so we have to collect information on Conaway and Roken next."

   As soon as Sun Huiwen's voice fell, Liu Xing and others heard the footsteps of several people from far to near.

   It seems that the person who delivered the breakfast should be here.

   Sure enough, someone knocked on the door soon, and then Liu Xing and the three got their own breakfast-a freshly baked loaf that looked like it should be whole wheat.

   Nothing more than that.

Looking at the large bread on the table that can be used directly as a pillow, Li Hanxing couldn't help but complain: "This Marquis Zum is too careless, so let's eat this? It's fine without some jam and honey. No pickles."

Sun Huiwen shook his head and said with a smile: "This is actually quite good, at least we are given whole wheat bread instead of that kind of black bread, and the most important thing is Li Hanxing, you should have not forgotten the big one we used to eat. Leba?"

   When he heard the words "Big Lieba", Liu Xing noticed that Li Hanxing's face changed dramatically.

Daliba is a special staple food on the Maozi side. It is actually a relatively large bread. As for the most famous point of Daliba, it is more suitable as a weapon than a baguette, and this is just the original version of Daliba. If it is replaced with a special edition of war, that is, the legendary Daliba with sawdust added, that thing can be directly used as the reactive armor of the tank.

   Therefore, Liu Xing now suspects that Li Hanxing has eaten Daliba with sawdust.

Looking at Liu Xing's curious eyes, Sun Huiwen sighed and said, "When we first became mercenaries, we were dragged by our captain to Ermao's side for training. As a result, we encountered an emergency and all our supplies were lost. And there are no people in the radius of 100 miles, so we can only learn to open the wilderness survival mode from Lord Bei, but we don't know whether our luck is good or bad, but we found a warehouse left by the Big Brother period. A lot of food, including Daliba."

   "The one with sawdust?" Liu Xing said subconsciously.

At this time, Sun Huiwen also showed an unbearable expression, and said helplessly: "I don't know if there are any wood chips in those big bars, because that thing just looks like the big bars we've seen in movies and TV series, and it tastes good. It's like chewing on a steel plate... Can you imagine how we feel after eating a steel plate for five days? I feel like my teeth are all shortened!"

   Liu Xing thought for a while, and suddenly felt that the big bread on the table became delicious.

  Because they were not hungry, the three of Liu Xing ate half a loaf of bread, and then went to the stable together.

   As the middle-aged butler said, when Liu Xing and the three just came to the back of the main castle, they could smell a stench.

  Li Hanxing covered his nose and said with some disgust: "It seems that Zum has really cut the funding for the stables. It stands to reason that as long as there are enough people, feeding better grass will not make the stables so smelly."
