Forced to play Shura Field in a Western Fantasy game

Yu Yuan was still silently hiding behind the floor-to-ceiling curtains.

There were only three of them on the huge terrace, or rather, Fernando knew of only two people present.

"You shouldn't be here." Every word Fernando said was gnashing his teeth, as if he wanted to tear up the person in front of him and swallow him alive, "Especially... put on this disgusting picture appearance."

Yu Yuan couldn't help being a little curious about what kind of face was under the other's mask.

The mysterious man was not angry when he heard this, and even sneered slightly: "Why, no one can be found again?"

At this moment, Yu Yuan remembered that the reason why he was discovered when he went to the cemetery last time was because he overheard what Fernando said in the conversation, it was this mysterious person who discovered his movements.

But this time it was very obvious that the mysterious person once again learned that he was hiding here by coincidence, but it was only a few meters away, and it all depends on the other party whether to tell it or not...

"You should have left yesterday." Fernando ignored the bright provocation, but it was not hard to hear how angry he was from his tone.

"Then let me give you some advice. You'd better pay attention to the question of 'how to control yourself'." The mysterious man said something, "If it's really not as good as control, why not just let it go?"

Without waiting for Fernando to answer, he continued, "Just to remind you kindly, our deal is almost up - when the time comes, I will definitely come to collect my reward."

Yu Yuan roughly jotted down the main points of their conversation.

Then, behind the curtain, he only heard hurried footsteps.

And then...a hand gently opened the curtain where he was hiding, and on the balcony as far as he could see, only this mysterious man still wearing a mask was left.

Yu Yuan couldn't help being a little embarrassed, he straightened his hair and said, "Thank you."

No matter what hidden secrets are in it, it is true that the other party did not expose him in front of Fernando just now.

The mysterious man gave a gentleman's salute and said with a light smile, "Your Highness the Queen."

"...When did you recognize me, did you recognize me in the banquet hall before or..."

The other party interrupted him, "As long as you appear in my sight range, I can recognize you at a glance."

The implication is that the dance he was invited to dance before was not accidental, and it was also deliberate to address him as "Miss" instead of "Her Royal Highness".

Yu Yuan had a hunch that although this NPC didn't have any hints above his head or even a name, he might be the most critical plot point tonight.Reminiscent of the conversation between the other party and Fernando earlier, Yu Yuan couldn't help asking: "Can you take off the mask for me to see?"

Fernando's statement that the man "has put on a disgusting appearance" is very subtle.

"Maybe it's better not to show your face in front of Your Highness the Queen." Through the hole in the mask, Yu Yuan could faintly see the other party blinking, and the mysterious man said again: "If you are worried about what to call me, why don't you just call me 'Louis'."

Louis.

The name was unlocked on the top of his head, but when Yu Yuan opened the other party's information to check, he saw row after row of "???", as if this person was a question mark.Yu Yuan tried to call Lin Ling, but Lin Ling probably left his post for a while and didn't respond for a while.

"Which family are you from?"

"Are you curious?"

Yu Yuan nodded.

"Maybe you can't say that, you can think that I don't belong to your royal city."

Although it was through a mask, Yu Yuan always felt that the other party was smiling with squinted eyes when he said this because of some illusion.

"What's your relationship with Phil, uh, you and the king?"

"Your Highness, I don't seem to have the obligation to answer your question."

"..." It seems to be such a truth.

At this time, Yu Yuan happened to remember the three talents that the queen had at the beginning of the game. [Noble status] has been playing a role. The low-level NPCs in the palace can obey orders unconditionally, but it is obviously ineffective for the NPC in front of him.Then if it is the charm buff of [Heaven-given Face], will it be effective?

Thinking back to the reminder of the release method of the BUFF, and his identity being known by the other party, Yu Yuan simply took off his mask, revealing the perfectly modeled face that was further perfected in the game world, and deliberately said softly: "You Will be willing to obey my request."

vomit.

He had to admit that he was disgusted by his whining voice.

Seeing this, the man named "Louis" smiled heartily, "Then in exchange for dancing with me before, you might as well tell Your Highness the Queen that I am not friendly to your new king." Relationship."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Maybe your king has always wanted to kill me."

Lin Ling, who just came back and witnessed this scene, almost spit out a mouthful of water, "Damn it, I forgot to tell you that this kind of NPC is useless even if you charm it."

Yu Yuan: "???"

"What's the difference?"

Lin Ling: "Don't ask, because he is special."

In the game, Louis said: "Maybe next time we meet again, I will take off my real mask in front of you."

As he said that, he seemed to be leaving.

But at this moment, a shout came from the corridor behind them, "Edith."

It was Durand's voice, and he was walking towards here.

At the same time when the two people on the terrace turned their heads subconsciously, Yu Yuan stretched out his hand suddenly and was about to knock off Louis' mask——

At this moment, Yu Yuan saw half of his face.

And the next second, Louis turned around and jumped off the terrace without hesitation!

"!!!" Yu Yuan hastily stepped forward and leaned on the railing to look down. This height is much higher than the average two-story building, and there is still a stone road below.

However, like a drop of water falling into the sea, the man named Louis disappeared after jumping off.

...like a ghost that never existed.

Behind him, Durand came, "Edith, what are you looking at?"

Yu Yuan turned his head slowly, looked at Durand's face that had been removed from the mask, and felt a little dazed for a while.

The bit of Louie that peeped out from under the mask...seemed to be just such a face—Durand's face.

That's probably why Fernando said that on the terrace before.

"I am fine."

After pushing Durand away, seeing that the banquet was about to end, Yu Yuan chose to go back to his room directly, and began to record the clues he got tonight.

And all of a sudden, as if blessed to the soul, Yu Yuan suddenly had a new guess, about the identity of this Louis, and also about Fernando.

"Since this is a story background with monsters and a country with monsters, shouldn't there always be a real monster appearing in the whole plot? People like Fernando can only be counted as mixed blood, but Louis is real. ?”

"Louis used the appearance of 'Durand' at tonight's banquet, and he may have entered the palace through similar means in the past. Is he the kind of monster with the ability to disguise?" Yu Yuan recalled the previous time in the library. I glanced at the book by chance, "Louis said there was a 'deal' between them. My understanding is that Fernando got his help. Maybe it was this monster who helped him ascend to the king's position?"

Yu Yuan watched helplessly as the progress bar value of the task [Fernando's Secret] slowly increased, and finally stayed at "50/100".

"Not bad." Lin Ling commented.

"But I should still be missing some key things."

Reminiscent of the combination of "hexagram and eyes" on my back, I still don't have much clue.

Can only stop here first.

He looked out the window, the night was silent, and the hilarious Sacred Forest Festival banquet should have come to an end.

"Who would have thought that your majestic queen would actually dance with a mysterious person today." Lin Ling said in a heartbroken tone, "Tip, push too much, little prince, they are all cold."

"...Is your focus often wrong?"

"I thought tipping was not good, but now I find that the little prince is the worst one. He bumped into you twice and didn't dance with you." Lin Ling was filled with righteous indignation, "Your aggressive push is also not good, I don't think he did it tonight." find you."

"Please enable me to turn off the handset one-way earlier." Yu Yuanyu said earnestly, "Seriously, Technician Lin, why don't you go to the next group to make female-oriented games? I think there is a project in the company... ..."

Before Yu Yuan finished speaking, his attention was all attracted by the person who opened the door and came in directly.

——It was Fernando who came, still out of breath.

Seeing that the person was indeed here, he said in a bad tone: "Explain."

Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes and carefully identified what he was holding in his hand, only to realize that it seemed to be a pair of earrings that looked familiar... There was still dirt on them.

What kind of metal detector are you, this can be found and dug out? ? ?

Just at this time, it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.In the night sky outside the window, fireworks celebrating the Sacred Forest Festival were launched into the sky at the same time, lighting up the entire night like sparks.

Fernando stepped forward a few steps forward, looking like he was asking questions, but what he said was completely different, "Go outside and dance with me."

This look doesn't look like inviting people to dance, it looks like they want to push people to prison.

Yu Yuan: "?"

Lin Ling said quietly: "The little prince is not good at himself. He was kicked out of the field without showing his face. Tonight, he scored a tip."

"Then he pulled you crazy...dancing for an hour, it's ok, but fortunately this game also has the function of body trusteeship." Lin Ling felt a little emotional before helping to log off, "By the way, you Remember to take a look at the current in-game statistics.”

When the completion of one of the main tasks reaches 50%, the game will send an overall data statistics and give suggestions to guide the direction of the game in the next stage.

From the current point of view, some important NPCs under the [New King] camp, such as the military minister, the head of the expeditionary legion, the marquis of several big families, etc., some of them have gradually turned against each other under the influence of the player's operation There are signs, and with the new king's own policy of "relaxing the treatment of monsters" and other reasons, popular support is also slowly declining.

At the same time, with the help of the players, the crown prince made correct decisions at several key decision points, and more and more NPCs were on his side. From the current point of view, the situation is relatively good.But at the same time, the system also reminded that there were hidden dangers in the personal attributes of NPC Durand Direll.

"Which attribute has not been cultivated enough?" Yu Yuan flipped through the attributes one by one, and the shortest version of the little prince's force value has risen from "B" to "A-". Although it is still unable to match Fernando, but if it continues like this At least not too bad.

Lin Ling: "...Let me give you a reminder. Sometimes it's not that a certain value is not enough, but that a certain value is too much, and the problems associated with some values ​​are not so easy to see."

"It's fine, I'll just teach him well." Yu Yuan didn't particularly care about this issue, after all, under his arrangement, the two four-star characters and one five-star character are now acting as tools to improve the little prince's attributes.

He is confident that the little prince under his supervision will definitely become a qualified king.

"..." Lin Ling couldn't say anything more, so he could only say, "I'll jump to the next big plot point when I get to work tomorrow. This plot point will have a greater impact, so you should be prepared."

"What will it be?"

"There is a monster attack. This is an important plot point that requires the little prince to express his opinion. It may be regarded as a special 'rite of passage', but it has a great impact on his attributes anyway." You need to risk yourself."

"You only have one life. If you don't control it properly, you might die in the hands of monsters—you don't want to trigger the ending where the little prince gives you a funeral, do you?"

"Do you really not give a chance to roll back in the first test?"

"Dead people can't be resurrected, it's easier to restart." Lin Ling said: "Let me give you a little reminder, your werewolf friend may appear at that point in the plot - if you are afraid of dying in the hands of monsters, I suggest asking for help. In case it's useful."

Before officially going offline, Yu Yuan said mercilessly: "Thinking too much, am I the kind of person who needs help?"

Lin Ling chuckled: "Then I wish you a smooth game tomorrow."
