Devil's Playground

Hearing the news that his father had been arrested, Charlie was stunned and sat down on the ground with a plop.

Yang Jin and his group also looked at each other in blank dismay.Lin Yu took the lead in turning on the light screen of the memory, glanced at the task progress, and quickly sent a message to others: We have to rescue that tailor.

Lily immediately stepped forward, patted Charlie on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Cheer up, you can snatch my brothers' treasure back from the robbers, and of course you can also save father from that inexplicable earl! "

"But that's the Earl!" Charlie said helplessly, grasping the stick tightly.

"What about the Earl, I'm still the Countess!" Lily said proudly, "Stand up, Mr. Charlie, although you are underage, you are still a man! Now, your family is in danger, and your father needs you To save, you must shoulder the responsibility!"

Charlie stared blankly at Lily, and quickly gritted his teeth, standing up from the ground as Lily said.

"Yes, I can't fall down, my father still needs me to save him!" Charlie clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"That's right!" Lily nodded in satisfaction. "The most urgent task is to rescue your father, but before that, we need to know where he was arrested and why he was arrested!"

"Isn't it because of that goat..."

"Don't be stupid, the accusation of heresy has always been used to frame people, and at least nine out of ten heresies are framed!" Lily said, "Besides, the trial of heresies is the right of the Holy See, and it has nothing to do with the earl." Relationship?"

"Yes, secular people have no right to intervene in matters of faith." Lin Yu answered calmly.

After being coaxed and coaxed by Lily to comfort him, Charlie finally regained his composure, took a deep breath, and prepared to go to the neighbor's house to inquire about where the tailor was arrested.

But before he could do anything, the mayor sent someone over and told Charlie to meet him at his home immediately.

Charlie is just the youngest son of a tailor, a commoner among the common people. Now that his family is in trouble again, and his family may be destroyed in the next moment, the people sent by the mayor will naturally not give him a good face, and they are arrogant when they speak.

But right now, Lily was upset because the mission went wrong, so she just took it out on him, ordered Conch to beat him up, and then took Charlie to the mayor's residence with an even more arrogant attitude. .

When she arrived at the mayor's house, Lily didn't play any tricks of courtesy first and then soldiers. She directly smashed open the gate of the mayor's house, kicked the servants who came up to stop her, and came to the mayor in a destructive manner. After tidying up, he sat in front of him and calmly questioned why he called Charlie over.

After interrogation, Yang Jin and the others found out that the reason why the mayor asked Charlie was to spread the word for others.

It was the lord of this area, a team of cavalry under the Earl of the Mountain, who captured the tailor, but the reason for capturing him was not because of any heretics or demons, but because Charlie and Lily, the youngest sons of the tailor, plundered the "Three Feathers". "This hotel.The people of the Earl of the Mountain left a message. If Charlie does not want his father to be burned alive as a heretic, he will send the treasure in the inn and his stick to the castle of the Earl.

Hearing this, Yang Jin and his group don't understand anything, this is simply the follow-up to the mission designed by Ms. N!The Three Piece Feathers Hotel is obviously the property of the Earl of Alpine, and the owner of the inn is also the Earl of Alpine's subordinate. Although I don't know why a noble earl should be a robber, it was Yang Jin and Charlie who snatched the money that the innkeeper originally wanted to offer. The treasure given to the Earl of the Alpine, and Charlie didn't kill anyone, so he gave the innkeeper a chance to sue for revenge!

But Yang Jin quietly counted the time, and immediately felt that the earl's reaction speed was too fast.According to the mayor, the earl's castle is not close to the town of Green, and there is not even a direct path in between. Even the fastest horse will have to run for two or three days to get there. With a communication speed like a car, how could it be possible to receive news and arrest people within two days?Unless the innkeeper changed himself, put on armor, pretended to be a cavalryman, ran directly from the three-way intersection to Green Town, and captured the tailor first.

The more Yang Jin thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was very high, but before he could remind him, Lin Yu also came up with the same guess.

After another interrogation, the mayor gave the address of Earl Alpine and the direction in which the soldiers left.

Yang Jin and the others set off immediately, trying to catch up with the team that captured the tailor and rescue the tailor before they arrived at the castle of the Earl of the Mountain.

The only means of transportation they can use is the horse-drawn carriage in the town, but this time, the coachman who took them to the three-fork intersection refused to be hired. Obviously, he already knew what happened to the tailor's house, and they were afraid that Yang Jin and the others would kill him. Get involved.

Lily's bad temper hadn't vented yet, when she heard that the coachman refused to give it away, she simply snorted coldly, played a trick of "don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind", and directly snatched the carriage and let Joe take charge of the driving.

The donkey brought back by Charlie was also tied to the back of the carriage—anyway, the speed of this broken carriage is limited, even an ordinary donkey can keep up, not to mention this is a magical donkey that can spit gold and has been raised to be fat and strong .

When they set off, Lily took the tailor's youngest son Charlie to the driver's seat in front of the carriage in the name of showing the way, and asked him and Joe to be companions. The others crowded in the carriage to discuss the next solution.

Just as they were talking about whether they could catch up with the tailor in the next two days, the tourist who had been in the line like a transparent person suddenly said, "One day."

"What?" Lily was taken aback, and the others looked at the tourist suspiciously.

"Only one day," said the tourist with difficulty.

Lin Yu's heart moved, and he asked, "You mean we only have one day?"

The tourist nods immediately.

"How come... Wait, is there something wrong with the way your Miss N calculates the time?" Lily's eyes widened.

The tourist nodded again, and struggled to utter a word, "God."

"...It's really seven days instead of 168 hours." Lin Yu has turned on the memory light screen and checked the mission description again, "The remaining time is also one day instead of hours—by the way, how long is this day? At midnight tomorrow night Or some other time?"

Yang Jin and the others were eager to get the answer, but the tourist obviously had a language barrier. The more he pressed the question, the more speechless he became. In the end, Lin Yu was forced to use a stupid trick, proposing one time point after another, so that Tourists respond with nods and shakes.

After a rather laborious game of quizzes, they finally learned that the day would be a little longer than they thought, neither at midnight tomorrow night nor at the time when they entered the playground, but before dawn the day after tomorrow.

Ms. N, who has the image of a cat, likes to use dark and dawn as the timing standard, and the game field in the inner city is divided into two types: morning game and afternoon game, so the settlement time in the game also corresponds to two types: before dark and before dawn .If Yang Jin and the others entered the morning game, the settlement time would be the moment when the sun sets, but if it was an afternoon game, it would be when the sun rises.

"That is to say, there is still one day and one night." Lin Yu pinched his fingers, thinking.

Lily also frowned, "To be honest, I'm beginning to doubt whether we can complete the task. According to the mayor, the Earl's castle is nearly three days away from Green Town. Impossible to get to the castle before the game is over."

"That's why we have to stop them before they reach the castle!" Conch was puzzled by Lin Yu and Lily's troubles.

"Do you think we can catch up with a group of cavalry with this broken carriage?" Seeing that Lin Yu and Lili were unwilling to deal with conch, Yang Jin had no choice but to take over the responsibility of answering questions, "Why do we say that? , but just to appease Charlie, if I'm not mistaken, Lily and the others should want to go directly to the castle, save people and make a fortune in the castle at the same time - of course, this kind of thinking is when we think we still have Under the premise of two days."

"I think so, but now I can only think about it." Lily scratched her hair angrily, "Taro, do you have a solution? Do you want to consider separating the horse from the carriage, and let's ride over? I His equestrian skills are passable."

"Just those two bad horses? Forget it!" Lin Yu shook his head, still staring at the light screen of the memory, and quickly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Theoretically, it is impossible to have unfinished tasks in the game field, right? ?”

"You know it's only in theory." Lily curled her lips.

Lin Yu ignored her and turned to look at the tourists, "You have spent more time in the inner city than us. Have you ever encountered a mission that is absolutely impossible to complete? For example, a place that can only be reached in three days, but the mission requires us to complete it in one day." arrive?"

"I can make it." The tourist opened his mouth with difficulty, "Sure, yes."

"It's definitely possible..." Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and began to think.

Lily frowned, but she couldn't think of a clue, so she stopped interjecting and let Lin Yu think alone.

After a while, Lin Yu finally raised his head, opened the window of the carriage, and shouted to Joe and Charlie in front: "Stop! Charlie, Joe, you all come in, we have something important to discuss!"

The carriage stopped quickly, and Joe and Charlie got into the carriage, looking at Lin Yu suspiciously.

Lin Yu briefly introduced the current predicament.Of course, he didn't say that he didn't have enough time here, he only said that it would be difficult to rescue people once they entered the castle, but if they were to be intercepted on the road, whether they could catch up was another big problem.Lin Yu also told Charlie that the person who took the tailor away must be the gang of robbers in the hotel. Considering the distance between the three-way intersection and Green Town, the gang probably killed the tailor first and did not take the things back. Tell the earl about the matter, the message of exchanging the tailor for the treasure must be their own idea, and it is definitely not the order of the earl of the mountain.

"From the present point of view, it is best to be able to rescue your father halfway." Lin Yu concluded, "Once you enter the castle, not only will the rescue become more difficult, but the variables will also increase. What if the Earl does not If you don't value these treasures, or just want to get the treasures but don't want to let them go, your father will be in an extremely dangerous situation."

"Then what do we do?" Charlie asked nervously.

"We have nothing to do, I'm sorry." Lin Yu spread his hands helplessly.

Although Lily still didn't understand what Lin Yu wanted to do, she showed a sad expression cooperatively and patted Charlie on the shoulder apologetically.

"No..." Charlie hugged his head in despair.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jin came up with an idea, and immediately raised his eyebrows at Lin Yu, and after getting a suggestive response from Lin Yu, he immediately said: "Although we have nothing to do, it's mainly because we You are a foreigner, not familiar with this place. But you are different, you are a native, and you know everything here. Can't you get us some horses, so that we can catch up with the bandits and save you father?"

"Yes, if we have good horses, we may still catch up with those people!" Lily nodded.

Hearing these words, Charlie obviously thought of something, and immediately raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated again as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes swept back and forth on the "good-hearted people" like Yang Jin several times, and finally said something. He said, "I can't get a horse, but... but I may have another way."
