Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1504 Sirius' Repayment

   "Oh? This Prince Norton is from the royal family there?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

  Ricky shook his head and said with a smile, "You're a foreigner, so maybe you don't know that we America also had an emperor, right?"

   "What? Does America have an emperor? The royal family from you?" Liu Xing asked in surprise.

Ricky smiled again and continued: "It stands to reason that America does not have a royal family, and naturally there is no emperor, but there is a saying that we can do things without prohibitions, so from the relevant laws that America is currently using Saying that anyone can declare himself the emperor of America, of course, I don’t know if anyone will listen to you, and you can’t mobilize any rights; but in San Francisco for more than 100 years, there was once a man named Norton. The person who called himself the emperor was naturally regarded as a joke by everyone at the beginning."

"However, the venerable His Majesty Norton I has won the respect of most people with his charisma and unparalleled action, so the local people in San Francisco have gradually acquiesced to His Majesty Norton I as the emperor, even the garrison in San Francisco. The two sides maintained a delicate tacit understanding; so later, even Lincoln recognized His Majesty Norton I as the emperor, And when registering his identity, His Majesty Norton I is also the only one who can officially put his occupation in the name of the emperor."

"Seriously, if I lived in that era, I would also respect His Majesty Norton I, because he seems to be a little crazy, thinking of himself as the emperor of America all day long, but His Majesty Norton I did what most people do. What he couldn't do, although he enjoyed the various free services provided by the people around him, he also became the spiritual totem of San Francisco at that time, making San Francisco the most civilized city in America at that time, and he proposed a series of The suggestion is also far ahead of the times, making us modern people feel that he may be a traveler, all in all, His Majesty Norton I was a person to be respected, so when he died, the whole San Francisco mourned for him..."

Ricky looked at Norton and said with some emotion: "Can you imagine that in America at that time, there would be a person worthy of everyone in a city to put down his identity and stand on both sides of the road to see him off? And in Norton A total solar eclipse occurred the day after His Majesty I died, which is worth writing about by historians in ancient times; and the Norton I bonds, which were only worth a few dollars at the time, are now worth tens of thousands of dollars.”

   "His Majesty Norton I is indeed a person worthy of respect, so is this Prince Norton his descendant?" Liu Xing continued to ask.

Ricky shook his head and said with a smile: "His Majesty Norton I never married, because everyone thinks that His Majesty Norton I is too noble, how can ordinary people be worthy of him? Of course, the main reason is His Majesty Norton. Back then, he was a businessman, but he went bankrupt because of a failed investment, and then he went into seclusion for a while, so when he announced that he was Emperor America, he was regarded as a lunatic and waited for Norton I. When His Majesty was loved by everyone, he was already in his forties, so the marriage problems of Norton I seemed a little embarrassing."

"In the end, some people who liked the whole thing suggested that His Majesty Norton I should propose to Queen Elizabeth, who was also unmarried. After all, His Majesty Norton I, as the emperor of America, is a match. It is said that the love letter written by His Majesty Norton I was written by Mark Twain. Yes, because Mark Twain and His Majesty Norton I used to be neighbors from door to door. Unfortunately, you also know now that Queen Elizabeth is not married yet; but seeing Prince Norton and Elizabeth standing together today is a different kind of thing. dream come true."

"Because His Majesty Norton I is also unmarried, he naturally has no direct descendants, but His Majesty Norton I has many relatives, and Prince Norton is the descendant of His Majesty's younger brother, so Prince Norton came to Miskatonic University. After taking office, he was affectionately called Prince Norton by everyone, and some even hoped that Prince Norton could go a step further and become Norton II directly, which is actually feasible. After all, so far, America is the only one who has been officially certified The only emperor is Norton I, and according to the general order of succession to the throne, Prince Norton is eligible to inherit the throne."

"It's a pity that Prince Norton didn't have this idea, but he still became the most respected professor in Miskatonic University like his ancestors, so his prestige is even higher than that of today's president, of course his ability It is also very good. Although he is a teacher specializing in astrology, he is also proficient in herbal medicine and alchemy, so he is also called the first assistant of Miskatonic University, so he can serve as our expedition team this time. It is also good news for us, and it can be seen that the mission of our expedition team is more inclined to assist the previous expedition team.”

Hearing what Ricky said, Liu Xing could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, because if the main quests that so many players participated in were mainly fighting, the enemies that would appear would be very powerful, no matter in quantity or quality. superior.

   At this time, the broadcast in the cabin also began to announce that the plane was about to take off, so Liu Xing and others quickly fastened their seat belts.

  Because Dihai Country is not far from America, Liu Xing and others soon arrived at the only airport in Dihai Country, and then got on the pickup truck that had been prepared for a long time.

   In these places that have been abandoned by the times, pickup trucks are already the best means of transportation. . . However, Liu Xing, who was sitting in the cargo bucket, felt that the pickup truck might not be much smaller than himself, because the pickup truck had been making some disturbing noises since it started. . .

  Fortunately, before reaching the destination, the pickup truck did not directly pick up the pick, which made Liu Xing and others have to sigh that their luck was very good, because more than half of the more than ten pickup trucks in the same group broke down.

   "This pit is indeed a bit big, but it's quite outrageous that the previous expedition team could fall."

Liu Xing visually inspected the diameter of the big pit, it was probably more than 100 meters, and the depth was about 15 meters. It is reasonable to say that everyone in the big pit should be able to climb up, but I don't know why. The soil on the edge of the pit is very loose, so if someone wants to climb up by force, it will be unstable after a few clicks, so it is not easy to climb out of the big pit without the help of external force.

"This should be a trap left by the ancient civilization. After monitoring the number of people on the big pit exceeds a certain number, the soil in the big pit will be deserted instantly, so the people on the big pit will jump before they can react. Go down, and then it will be difficult for these people to climb up again, but as long as the people in the big pit dig in a certain direction, they should be able to dig normal land soon, and it will be much easier to think about it then." Yin En said. said.

Because Liu Xing and other players are mercenaries, they naturally began to take charge of some physical work, such as laying down a strong enough stake in a suitable place, and then tied a rope and put it into the big pit to let the previous expedition team escape. A sea of ​​bitterness and a breath of fresh air. . . After all, the big pit is also a relatively closed space, so so many people eat and drink in it, the taste must be indispensable.

At this time, the members of the expedition team who were behind because the pickup truck broke down also came to the scene. The two expedition teams finally joined together, and the new expedition team was still headed by Norton. After all, Ricky said that Norton was in Mies. Katonic University has a lot of prestige, so no one will compete with Norton as the captain of this new expedition.

  Because it was already midnight, Norton announced that everyone rested first, so Liu Xing and the others each got a sleeping bag, found a suitable place and fell asleep.

   As a result, Liu Xing just closed his eyes and saw Sirius!

   That's right, although Liu Xing closed his eyes, Sirius appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes the next second, and from the background, it seemed to be Sirius' soul box.

   "Long time no see, my friend."

   Sirius smiled and said, "Congratulations on regaining your body, I thought you couldn't beat Turner."

Liu Xing raised his brows, not knowing how Sirius recognized him, but considering that he was in a state of soul when he saw Sirius before, it is understandable for Sirius to say this now, but Liu Xing is more concerned about it. How Sirius met Turner.

Sirius saw through Liu Xing's thoughts at a glance, so he said with a smile: "I have seen Turner before, so adhering to the two-way betting plan, I also had some in-depth exchanges with Turner, but I To tell you the truth, Turner and I are simply using each other, so now that you have solved the trouble of Turner, I am still willing to continue to cooperate with you. Of course, I have not forgotten to give you a favor. ."

Speaking of which, Turner took out a key, but the key looked a bit strange, more like a ruler with complicated patterns, and when Liu Xing took the key, it turned directly into A light disappeared, but in Liu Xing's mind there was also a detailed composition of the key.

"This is the treasure house key of this ancient civilization under your feet. As for why I have this key, it is because the founder of this ancient civilization once got my soul box, so I also made some transactions with him, simple In other words, I taught this ancient civilization some high-end technologies, which allowed them to become the overlord of the party in a short period of time. Unfortunately, that guy chose to turn his face and refused to recognize the person. When he turned around, he locked me in the treasure house, so I was idle. If I have nothing to do, I will study the structure of the treasure house."

"Later this ancient civilization was destroyed by foreign enemies, and the king at that time was ready to run away with a soft, so he stuffed my soul box into his pocket, and his ship was destroyed by the storm; although the treasure house was outside The gold and silver jewelry should have been taken away by the predecessors, but I know that there is actually an inner storehouse in this treasure house, and there are some really good things hidden in it, so Liu Xing, you can try it if you have the chance. Your own luck, let's see if those good things have been scrapped after so many years."

   Hearing Sirius say this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "I have a question, that is, Sirius, why did you appear here, and you still exist in a soul state? I remember that you have regained your body?"

Sirius smiled, pointed to the ground and said, "Didn't I just say it? I was locked in the underground treasury for a long time, so I took the time to give some of my soul to a floor tile, of course. This soul is almost negligible to me; but the floor tile that I have given soul to is equivalent to a soul container for me, and can accept me as a soul state bonus when necessary, so I found out that you have arrived here After that, I came here to pay my respects.”

  Although Sirius' words sounded nice, Liu Xing felt that it might have other plans, because if Sirius really wanted to repay his gratitude, it should have come to him long ago, rather than suddenly appearing at this time.

   So is there anything special in the treasure house that Sirius spoke of?

   Or is it dangerous?

To be on the safe side, Liu Xing decided to consider handing over the keys to the early bird after confirming the real existence of the treasure house, and he had to prepare some disclaimers when handing over the keys to ensure that if someone had an accident in the treasure house, You will not be made a scapegoat yourself.

"Okay, I won't disturb Liu Xing for your rest now, but before that, I still have to remind you Liu Xing that there may be a lot of biological traps in the ruins of this ancient civilization, so if you want to go in If so, don’t touch those flowers, plants, or some small animals that seem harmless to humans and animals, and in short, don’t be extravagant after entering.”

   As soon as Sirius's words fell, Liu Xing's eyes went dark again, and it was already dawn when he opened his eyes.

   At this moment, Ding Kun, who was sitting on the side, handed over a bottle of water and said, "I suggest you get up and take a shower first, because after everyone gets up, you can experience university life again."

   Liu Xing hit a Hache, only to find that only a few people have woken up now, while the others are still wandering in dreamland.

   As for the automatic toilets in the camp, there are only two.
