Please charm this NPC

Ran Wenyu doesn’t know much about the Mayan civilization. He only knows that it often appears in various adventure novels, movies and games, and no matter what the content of these works is, they will describe the Mayan civilization particularly well.

Some people say that it is a race established by aliens, because it has left behind a lot of advanced knowledge, far surpassing the contemporary civilization; The "doomsday theory" that shocked the whole world at the end of the year originated from the Mayan civilization—of course, it has been proved that until 2012, when Ran Wenyu lived, the earth was still in good condition. Although it was riddled with holes, it was as strong as ever.

Fortunately, although they know very little about the Mayan civilization, Baron Slante's collection of books gave them the opportunity to fully understand this civilization, and even marked the key points very thoughtfully. The baron inadvertently crossed it while thinking over and over again.

In the era when the mod took place, the Mayan civilization had not really entered the field of vision of archaeologists, so in the books, there were not many descriptions about the Mayan civilization, but there were some sporadic records, most of which were based on the ancient Conjectures and hypotheses raised by the literature.

Ran Wenyu and Augustus got together and carefully read the part about the Mayan civilization, and couldn't help being amazed.And what attracted their attention, or what Baron Silent paid attention to, was also the "Sun Chronicle Theory" in the prophecies and records of the Mayan civilization.

The Mayan civilization divided the long time experienced by the earth into the "solar period", and at the end of each period, there will be a thrilling mass destruction.

The first solar period was called "Matraktili", which was finally destroyed in the flood; the second solar period was called "Eia Cotel", which was destroyed by the hurricane sweeping the world; the third solar period was " "Quiyavilo" was destroyed by fire rain from the sky, or a comet hit the earth; the fourth solar period was "Zondriric", which perished in global earthquakes and plate movements; and what they are currently in is The fifth solar period.

As for the "human beings" living in each solar period, they are also different.The civilization in the first solar period is called Gendaya civilization. Men have a third eye, emerald color. Through this third eye, men can exercise superpowers with different functions, and use this superpower to the fullest. To the extreme.Gendaya civilization was destroyed at the end of the first solar period, and its fugitives continued in the second solar period, forming the Mesopotamian civilization.These surviving "human beings" gradually forgot what happened in the previous civilization, and also lost their superpowers. The third eye disappeared with it, but they had a lot of research on diet, which is probably a farming practice.After the destruction of the second solar period, the Mesopotaya civilization continued to exile, and then became the Muria civilization. They could extract abundant energy from animals and plants, so their technology was extremely developed.As for the Atlantis civilization in the fourth solar period, it came from the colonists of Orion. They also took the technological route and were good at using various energy sources. victory.

I have to say that in Ran Wenyu's view, these records are quite ridiculous, but human beings are always interested in the long history and all kinds of weird legends, so even if they don't believe a word, they still don't believe it. Can watch with gusto.

At least, Ran Wenyu is like this, that’s why he has a strong curiosity about the Cthulhu mythology, and he likes this kind of imagination that is divorced from science and unrestrained. Of course, once the imagination becomes reality, it feels very bad. .

What made him even more curious was that Baron Silent also wrote notes next to these words, which seemed to have done some detailed research, but his writing was sloppy and concise, with extremely jumpy thinking, probably only Baron Silent could understand What exactly did I write.

After skimming through the passages about the Mayan civilization, Ran Wenyu closed the book contentedly, and was about to discuss a few words with Augustus, but suddenly froze: "...Wait, we read the knowledge about the Mayan civilization so seriously. Why is it here? What does this have to do with our mod this time?"

Augustus shrugged at him, also puzzled.

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

Augustus: "……………………"

The two looked at each other in blank dismay.Although they feel that their investigation has indeed made a lot of progress, they can't tell where the progress is at all... What a ghost!

With such a tangled mood in mind, they tidied up the study and went downstairs for dinner.

Probably because their minds were still spinning on the Mayan civilization, the two of them were a little absent-minded after sitting at the dining table.Butler Robert directed the cook Emily and maid Lisa to present dinner for them, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the two young masters stayed in the study all day today, and they didn't even leave for lunch. I feel very relieved. "

Ran Wenyu and Augustus came back to their senses, looked at Robert, and said a few words of humility.

"Through a day of reading and studying, the two young masters should have some experience, right?" Robert stood politely by the dining table, looking at them with expectations and encouragement in his eyes, "Can you tell me a little about it?"

Ran Wenyu and Augustus were at a loss.They have been "doing nothing" all day long. The books that Robert handed over to them have not been turned over a single page. Now they are suddenly asked about their impressions after reading. The two of them are like students who have not previewed and are suddenly called up by the teacher. Like answering questions, my mind is full of question marks of "who am I, where am I, and what am I going to say".

However, no matter how confused they were, they still had to bite the bullet and reply.Augustus coughed lightly, and spoke first: "To be honest, this is the first time I have calmed down and read books on philosophy. I really felt a lot. Although my life is rich, but at the same time, I also I feel my spiritual poverty. I have never thought deeply about the nature of human beings and the world, where we come from, where we should go, and even less about the hidden meaning behind each of my actions. I used to be , like a marionette, or a beast, driven by instinct, but today, I feel that the fog in front of me has been lifted, and I understand what is real wisdom and how to explore things essence."

Augustus's voice was deep, clear, and slow, and it didn't look like unprepared nonsense at all-although this passage was all fake and meaningless in essence, it was indeed quite bluffing.

Ran Wenyu sat on the seat opposite him, staring dumbfounded at his talking partner, admiring the other party's ability to speak freely.

Obviously, Robert is also very satisfied with Augustus's answer, and the smile on his face is a little more sincere: "It seems that Master Tang has indeed read it carefully and thought about it carefully. I think you will be able to write Master will be very happy to publish an article that contains flashes of wisdom."

"You are overrated." Augustus curled his lips and nodded slightly reservedly at Robert. "I am just a young child standing at the gate of the truth, and I have a long way to go. However, I will continue to Work hard, you won't disappoint Lord Baron."

"Master must be looking forward to it too." Robert laughed.

The two came and went, flattering each other a few words.After Augustus passed the test smoothly, Robert quickly turned his attention to Ran Wenyu: "So, Master Ran, do you have any thoughts on today's reading?"

Ran Wenyu opened his mouth, his mind was blank.To be honest, he knows nothing about philosophy. The only thing he has been in contact with is the Marxism-Leninism-Maoist course he studied in college-and most of these courses were passed by him.

As for some pretty nonsense like Augustus, Ran Wenyu didn't know how to say it. After all, everything he could think of had been said in advance by his teammates. Suspicious, but more embarrassing.

After struggling for a while, Ran Wenyu decided to stick to the character design.Hehe, anyway, he is a scumbag with only a 30 education, and it would be pretty good if he can read and count!As for philosophy?What it is?

Thinking so self-destructively, Ran Wenyu lowered his head, avoiding Robert's gaze in shame.His face suddenly turned pale, and his hands on the dining table were trembling slightly, as if he wanted to get into a hole in the ground in the next second: "I... sorry, I promise to read it seriously, but there are many things , I can't really understand it, and I can't express what I feel..."

His voice was thin and small, as if he could cry out with inferiority at any time, making it impossible for anyone to be harsh.

Robert's eyes softened and his voice softened a lot: "Master Ran, you don't have to worry about it. After all, your starting point is a little lower than that of Master Tang. There will be a gap at the beginning, which is also necessary. As long as you look carefully, Write it with your heart, presumably the master will also see your sincerity."

Ran Wenyu lowered his head and thanked him softly, with a look of shameless depression.Robert couldn't bear to say anything more, so he quickly ended the topic, reminded everyone that they could enjoy dinner, and retreated.

Probably because of Ran Wenyu's arrival, today's dinner passed in an unusually silent manner.After dinner, Ran Wenyu's mood seemed to ease a little. He put down the knife and fork, stood up silently, and left the restaurant first.

Just as Ran Wenyu admired Augustus's ability to make up random things and open his mouth to write a small composition, Augustus was also particularly amazed at Ran Wenyu's acting skills—if he didn't know Ran Wenyu's player status, he would spend a whole day with him Staying together, I'm afraid Augustus couldn't help but come forward to comfort him and ask him not to be sad.

Watching Ran Wenyu go away, Augustus looked away, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Arthur who was sitting on the other side of the dining table.

This Dr. Atham has always been very quiet, and hardly participates in any of their conversations and actions. Even if he knows that the other party may have problems, or even one of the bosses, Augustus will often ignore the other party involuntarily. , treat him as an ordinary NPC that does not need attention.

——Obviously, whether it is temperament or appearance, Arthur is as eye-catching as a star in the night sky, and cannot be ignored no matter what...

At this time, Asham also stopped eating, and turned his head to look at Ran Wenyu's back. There was a slight worry in his blue eyes, as if he was really worried about the mental state of this poor young man who had been hit hard.

Then, he sighed softly and looked away.Finding Augustus watching him, Athem gave him a polite smile, then continued to focus on the food on his plate, showing no intention of talking.

Augustus rolled his throat, wanting to inquire a few words, but couldn't find any suitable topic, so he could only give up with regret.

Since Ran Wenyu was with Augustus all day today, and there was nothing to communicate with, so the "date" between the two of them tonight was naturally cancelled.

After being "sad" in his room for a while, Ran Wenyu felt a little bored, so he decided to go out to relax, maybe he could come across some clues by chance.

The Prost Manor in the evening seemed to be more deserted than in the daytime. Ran Wenyu didn't meet anyone along the way, and he pushed open the gate of the mansion smoothly and came outside.

The night sky is full of stars, insects are buzzing in the field, and fireflies hovering and dancing can be seen from time to time, creating a harmonious and peaceful night scene.Ran Wenyu walked all the way to the back garden against the cool breeze of the summer night.In the distance, he saw a person standing in a flowerbed.

Ran Wenyu thought that the man was Henry the manservant, so he quickly walked two steps, intending to strike up a conversation and have a chat, but when he got closer and saw the smooth long golden hair clearly, he realized that he had recognized the wrong person.

——That's Arthur, the person Ran Wenyu least wants to see in this module.As soon as he saw him, Ran Wenyu couldn't help but think of the first module, the scene when the other party ran over when he was temporarily blind, and paid homage to his remains (?).

Although Ran Wenyu has seen many dangerous and perverted NPCs in the later modules, the "first one" is always impressive.

Ran Wenyu stopped and almost turned his head to leave, but Arsham had already heard his footsteps and turned to look at him.

Facing the big boss who can let him tear cards casually, Ran Wenyu certainly can't lose face at all, not to mention his evasive behavior must be even weirder in the eyes of Asham.

Therefore, Ran Wenyu could only bite the bullet and showed a stiff and awkward smile at the other party.

"Good night, Mr. Ran." Asham also gave him a smile and walked towards him.When he saw the thin white shirt on Ran Wenyu's body, he frowned slightly, and said disapprovingly, "Although it is summer, the night wind is still a bit cool, if you want to go out to relax, you'd better add a coat. "

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and put on my coat." Ran Wenyu replied quickly, turned and left impatiently.It's just that he didn't expect that Arthur didn't stay where he was expecting, but instead took two steps, walking side by side with him.

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——Suddenly had a bad feeling of being targeted by the BOSS.

I really didn't want to talk about the stars, the moon, and the ideals of life with this BOSS. Ran Wenyu put on his self-closing shell that had suffered a deep blow, walked forward silently, and went all the way back to the mansion, went up to the second floor, and opened the door. own door.

Then, he watched Arthur follow in, very naturally picked up his coat hanging on the hook, and smiled at him: "Come on, put it on."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——No, I don't want to wear it.

—I don't want to go for a walk with you either.

——I just want to lie on the bed alone now, and be a salted fish with no ideal but life guarantee.

The author has something to say: Well... the Arthur you miss, he finally has another role →_→
