Draw an NPC ID card at the beginning of the game [unlimited]

A man in an elegant suit and a half-length luxurious cloak slowly walked down from the second floor.

The silver-white hair shone with tiny bits of light under the illumination of a single beam of light, and the long hair, which had been carefully styled, was tied behind her head by a black hair tie.

The man has a handsome appearance, and the combination of his facial features is so perfect that he doesn't look like a human being. His gestures are like a fragile and expensive beautiful work of art.

Mysterious and calm.

A random strand of hair fell from his forehead, adding a bit of laziness.

Qi Wuyuan raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the stairs on the second floor, as if unintentionally meeting the man's gaze for a moment.

The scarlet deep eyes were like a pair of rubies, colliding with the black and clear eyes, the interlaced eyes of the two people moved away completely in the next second,

There was a smile on the corner of the man's mouth. As the only person in the entire banquet hall who did not wear a mask, his every move made people obsessed.

Shen Yuxuan stood up from Qi Wuyuan, hugged his pet unconsciously and said, "Master...you look so pretty."

Hearing Shen Yuxuan's muttering to himself, Qi Wuyuan was noncommittal.

People consciously gave way to a passage, and the man slowly walked to the most conspicuous stage position in the banquet hall.

The slender fingers in white gloves closed together, and after clapping his palms twice, the man said, "Hello, all guests are welcome to come and participate in this banquet."

Even Lu Sien's voice carried a magical power that made people want to indulge in it unconsciously.

"The purpose of this banquet seems to be clear to everyone."

Lu Sien's words were more than alienated and not polite, but none of the guests were dissatisfied with his attitude.

——Master Lu Sien should have treated them with such an arrogant attitude.

"The water rose will be in full bloom tonight, and I don't want to hear any disappointing news before enjoying the rare beauty."

"Butler Ed will lead the guests to the glass corridor to visit the precious water rose when the clock strikes twelve o'clock at midnight."

He picked up a glass of dark red wine brought by the maid beside him, raised the corner of his mouth and looked around at all the guests standing in the banquet hall.

"The luncheon is ready, except for my trivial request, everyone else is free."

Lu Sien raised his wine glass, twisted his wrist lightly, and gracefully clinked glasses with everyone in the air.

"Have fun, everyone."

"Happy flower viewing."

Following Lu Sien's last sentence, a systematic electronic sound immediately appeared in the minds of the thirteen players present.

The copy is officially triggered.

Only Qi Wuyuan had experienced a potential crisis before the dungeon was triggered.

Qi Wuyuan is already used to it, especially after hearing his identity clearly.

【Ding!This copy has been matched successfully. 】

[Zi... The dungeon background setting is loaded successfully. 】

[The player is about to enter the intermediate dungeon - "Rupert Manor". 】

[Clearance goal: You can leave after completing the main task. 】

[Main task: Obtain the gem "Rupert's Tears". (If you die in the middle or the life value drops to 0, the game is over.)]

[Player ID is being extracted—the player ID has been successfully extracted. 】

【Generating player identity...】

[Player identity—— Earl (NPC identity card). 】

[■■■The Earl is the Lord of Winter from the north. The Earl's name is wider than the ice and snow. Your cruelty has made your real name unrecognizable. Countless people respect you as the Earl of Winter. 】

【No one knew that the Earl of Winter, who never stepped out of the territory all the year round, would have a mysterious friendship with the owner of Rubes Manor. 】

[Sub-task: Explore the unknown past. 】

[Note: Players are requested to keep the progress of exploring side missions to increase by more than 5% every day, otherwise this dungeon is likely to enter a passive situation that players are unwilling to face~]

[The player draws an NPC identity card, which is a role-playing identity card. The player must successfully act as the corresponding identity. Once the damage of the character design reaches 50%, the game will fail. 】

[The final interpretation of the above belongs to "Fourth World". 】

[The game officially begins. 】

All players present have received corresponding system prompts.

[This is the first mid-level dungeon with side quests I've seen! ]

[Gan, the exploration of side missions is required at the beginning of the game, isn't this a requirement only for advanced dungeons?Fortunately, I didn't have the brains to rush directly, and reluctantly sold the invitation letter. ]

[I wandered through the live broadcast rooms and found that the main missions of the bosses are the same, but the side missions are different,]

[I also ran around in the thirteen live broadcast rooms, and I still think that the side mission of the Earl of Winter is the most difficult, and there is no hint, and at first glance, the exploration target is related to the most difficult NPC, the owner of Lu Sien. ]

[Same as above, I don’t know if you have noticed. Before the dungeon officially started, the other players were like transparent people and did not get any extra attention from the NPCs. When entering the banquet hall, no one is watching. If you show a little timidity or hesitation at that time, you will be dismantled, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes you feel miserable. ]

[Yes, yes, it’s a good thing that the big brother responded with a cold face and passed away with a cold face. ]

[Are you all the details of the previous discussion, I think I just read it in a daze, stupid. ]

After the simple communication at the banquet, after the owner of Lu Sien announced the official start of the banquet, the butler Ed and the servants came out of the corner in an orderly manner, and led the guests in the banquet hall through the porch to the banquet restaurant.

A sumptuous lunch is ready.

Shen Yuxuan took advantage of the situation and followed Qi Wuyuan, he followed Qi Wuyuan's footsteps and the two of them walked at the end.

A few players glanced this way, and found that Shen Yuxuan had been talking to Qi Wuyuan, so they didn't come over, shook their heads and left.

Qi Wuyuan didn't reject the young man who followed him, Shen Yuxuan gave him the same feeling as that leopard cat cub.

Qi Wuyuan and Shen Yuxuan walked slowly through the corridor, and when they reached the door of the banquet restaurant, they saw a man waiting at the door from a distance.

The man looked sideways at the neatly trimmed bushes outside the promenade and the naive little flowers dotted on some green plants.

When looking at these plants, his eyes were unconsciously gentle.

Sensing the arrival of the person who was waiting, Lu Sien turned his head and walked up quickly after seeing Qi Wuyuan.

He joked to Qi Wuyuan, "You have come to my banquet, why are you still so inactive."

Unlike the alienation towards others, the intimacy in the tone is obvious.

Qi Wuyuan just glanced at him lightly, and Lu Sien opened his mouth to refute what he said before: "Forget it, the famous Earl Winter can come to Rupert City where the seasons are like spring to attend my banquet. What's the dissatisfaction?"

Qi Wuyuan didn't bother to speculate on Lu Sien's mind, and walked directly towards the banquet restaurant.

He is hungry.

Playing the role of a noble earl with a bad reputation, he probably still has good abilities, Qi Wuyuan simply brought the righteousness in his bones to the extreme, just like an old-fashioned nobleman.

Willful and reckless.

Seeing that Qi Wuyuan didn't pay much attention to him and walked straight into the house, Lu Sien laughed a few times.

"Sure enough..."

It is not difficult to see the joyful mood of the owner from the teasing tone.

Shen Yuxuan, who was sandwiched between the two, looked left and right.

He was as puzzled as the little leopard cat in his arms—is the friendship between these two people good or bad?

Lu Sien didn't give Shen Yuxuan any look, he turned around and walked into the banquet restaurant like a different person from just now.

Two rows of long tables were covered with clean white tablecloths, and two luxurious and exquisite candle holders were placed at every third table. On the candle holders were three white candles, flickering with warm yellow lights.

Crystal chandeliers hang down from the five-six-meter-high ceiling, and the divisions are exquisitely spaced and arranged very beautifully.

The guests took their seats one after another.

More than a dozen players seem to have integrated into the banquet.

As soon as Qi Wuyuan entered the restaurant, he was seen by the sharp-eyed butler Ed. He led the way for Qi Wuyuan and brought him to the left side of the main table.

"My lord, this is your seat."

Butler Aide bowed slightly.

Not long after Qi Wuyuan took his seat, Lu Sien came over. Along the way, many people saw Lu Sien trying to talk to him, but they were all persuaded by his unsteady pace.

Lu Sien sat straight at the head of the long table, looked sideways at Qi Wuyuan and said, "I'm not kidding you, don't walk so fast next time, okay?"

He is completely used to the coaxing tone when facing Qi Wuyuan.

Qi Wuyuan looked at the white flowers on the table in front of him.

Lu Sien didn't care why Qi Wuyuan ignored him, and continued to say in a good temper: "This is anti-bone flower."

"A unique type of flower around Rupert City. It has an elegant fragrance and beautiful flower shape. It is perfect for decorating restaurants."

"It is very convenient to grow in the area around Rupert, but it is not common in other areas, no matter how you transplant it, it will not grow well,"

"People say that this kind of flower is nostalgic for the past and only loves its homeland forever, so it was named 'anti-bone flower'."

Lu Sien popularized science lightly.

"I really like the character of Anti-bone Flower, what about Yuan?"

Lu Sien inadvertently called Qi Wuyuan intimately.

Qi Wuyuan nodded, interest flashed in his eyes: "Not bad."

He nodded respectfully.

After getting Qi Wuyuan's affirmation, the smile on the corner of Lu Sien's mouth widened a little: "Sure enough, Yuan also likes this kind of flowers."

Lu Sien continued: "Although I like to collect all kinds of exotic flowers, I can't help but prefer these flowers with stories or meanings that fascinate me."

This is true of the anti-bone flower, and so is the more precious water color rose.

Qi Wuyuan lowered his eyes, pretending not to be interested in these flamboyant topics, and silently wrote down what Lu Sien said in his heart.

Lu Sien's small chat with Qi Wuyuan was interrupted by the guest sitting first on the right side of Lu Sien.

"My lord, you can't lose sight of the other."

A young man with a white mask took his seat, holding a string of red strings with seven copper coins in his hand.

The strong murderous smell spread from the opposite side, Qi Wuyuan frowned uncomfortably.

There are so many crimes that people can smell the stench directly.

Only then did Lu Sien turn his gaze to the person on the right who inserted the conversation between him and Qi Wuyuan.

"Faxin, I don't think we have anything to talk about. Enjoying flowers quietly with you is the only activity I can think of that I can be a little bit interested in."

Lu Sien made no secret of his discriminatory treatment, and said with disgust: "Take all your sons away, they stink."

Faxin didn't expect that these insidious things hanging on his body would be seen through at a glance. Under Lu Sien's merciless warning, the little ghost lying on Faxin's shoulder and grinning and looking around had to be manipulated to leave temporarily reluctantly.

At this moment, the stench that Qi Wuyuan smelled was able to fade a little bit.

Faxin Tianshi is the player sent by the Iron Chain Association to participate in the banquet in Rupert's instance.

The president currently has important matters that cannot be separated from him, so he can only let other members participate in the dungeon competition.

Everyone in the guild knows that whoever gets the first promotion item in Rupert Manor will get countless benefits.

There was only one invitation letter in the meeting, and Faxin Tianshi worked hard to get this invitation letter.

Fortunately, Faxin Tianshi was more pleased that he got a distinguished identity card.

The king of the mysterious Wugu country from the south.

Although judging from the system's rhetoric, the so-called Wugu country may not even be able to compare with a random piece of territory of the great nobles.

But the word "Witch Gu" is enough to make his status noble.

Even his dining table in the restaurant seemed so exalted.

It's just that Master Faxin didn't expect that he would talk to Lu Sien naturally, but all he got was disgust.

In terms of Faxin Tianshi's bad character, this scene has become a joke in the eyes of many players.

Lu Sien didn't care about his status as the king of the Wugu Kingdom at all.

The lunch menu is very rich.

Strictly follow the order of serving from appetizers to desserts.

Qi Wuyuan knew it well, and didn't touch any vegetarian dishes on the dinner plate.

I just elegantly cut some side dishes and main dishes of seafood and meat with a knife and fork to fill my stomach.

Lu Sien didn't move a few mouthfuls of food, he seemed to be very partial to red wine, and the servants carefully changed several different types of wine for other guests during the whole lunch.

Only the owner of the manor, Lu Sien, always had a dark red wine in his wine glass.

After Lu Sien took a few sips of red wine, he saw that Qi Wuyuan didn't move with a mouthful of vegetarian food, but picked and ate a bit in disgust, the smile in his eyes deepened.

This behavior is indeed the lord in his impression.

Maybe Lu Sien was a little bored, he took the initiative to speak to Qi Wuyuan again: "There is another legend about the water color rose."

Qi Wuyuan spoke casually: "What legend?"

The delicate and beautiful dessert on the plate in front of him remained untouched.

Neither of the two deliberately lowered their voices or spoke secretly. When Lu Sien said this, all the other players heard the conversation between the two through various means, and felt what Lu Sien was about to say next. It's not ordinary, and I listen to it unconsciously and seriously.

The leopard cat in Shen Yuxuan's arms would go somewhere, and a small bird stopped outside the banquet restaurant and made a few "chirp" sounds.

Master Faxin pricked up his ears while pretending to eat the dessert in front of him.

After hearing Qi Wuyuan's response, Lu Sien's interest increased slightly, and he continued to talk.

"Water color rose was originally a special plant that grew on the peak of Mount Eris, the highest mountain in the north."

"The unique growth environment of the water rose has created its beautiful appearance, and it is also a precious flower that blooms every 50 years in an extremely dangerous environment. Since its true appearance was preserved by a person who witnessed it, everyone who watched it The people who took pictures were all amazed, and soon the pursuit of the water color rose became popular."

Lu Sien took a sip of the wine, the grapes and alcohol mixed, and the unique mellow aroma spread through his mouth.

"Of course, I am no exception to the obsession with the water rose. Fortunately, after several generations of human improvement, the water rose was successfully introduced into the Rupert Manor, and finally it will bloom again."

Qi Wuyuan interrupted Lu Sien's long speech: "Legend."

Just as impatient as many years ago.

After hearing Qi Wuyuan's words, Lu Sien thought unconsciously in his heart.

Only he knew the true thoughts in his heart, and he still indulged the Earl: "Okay, let me tell you what this legend is."

Only the other players who were eagerly listening to the origin of the water color rose felt a little regretful.

"The water rose blooms on the top of the mountain closest to the sky. It is a pure and innocent flower that can listen to the words of the gods. It is said that after the water rose blooms, it will automatically fall off its petals. Choose up to thirteen human beings and give them the honor of being chosen by the gods. name."

"It is a supreme honor to be chosen by the gods."

Lu Sien said enviously: "Yuan, I might as well just tell you that this legend is a large part of the reason why I held this banquet."

"If the legend is true, then we will be able to see the person chosen by Aqua Rose."

Lu Sien had already made a plan in his heart: "If there are distinguished guests selected by the petals, I will invite them to stay in the manor for a long time until the miracle of the gods comes."

Including Qi Wuyuan, all the players knew how important Lu Sien's words meant.

Lu Sien was talking, but suddenly changed the topic, he smiled at Qi Wuyuan and said: "Of course, no matter what, Yuan has always been my distinguished guest, and I have always hoped to invite you to stay in the manor for a long time."

The other players who heard this sentence couldn't help being speechless in their hearts.

——Could the owner's different treatment not be so obvious.

Qi Wuyuan ignored the sugar-coated bullets in Lu Sien's words, and he hit the key point in Lu Sien's words: "Why is the number of people chosen by the gods thirteen?"

"It's not an auspicious number."

Lu Sien was a little surprised: "When did you care about this?"

As the Earl of Winter who is so strong that he can chop people up in the church, this detail is really not something he would care about.

Qi Wuyuan took advantage of the fact that Zhu hadn't had time to rise when the human design collapsed, and said without haste: "Who says I care."

"It's just a double standard of curiosity."

Qi Wuyuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a wicked smile with a hint of sarcasm.

Only then did Lu Sien understand.

"Indeed if."

Lu Sien also laughed: "Speaking of which, I am looking forward to it even more. If the legend is true, will the gods choose thirteen people?"

Two nobles who are also deviant, maybe this is the reason for the intersection in the first place?

After eating most of the small cake, Faxin Tianshi finally couldn't hold back and interjected at this moment.

"I'm also very curious about this legend."

"Mr. Lu Sien, if you want to be selected by Water Rose, are there any criteria for judging?"

Faxin Tianshi asked the players the most eager to get the answer.

This time Lu Sien didn't dislike Faxin Tianshi's sudden intervention in his chat with Qi Wuyuan.

Lu Sien pondered for a while, and then said: "The standard answer..."

He chuckled lightly: "If there is a standard answer, everyone should strive to achieve the standard answer. Isn't everyone able to become the chosen one of the gods?"

"It's too cheap."

Lu Sien's ridicule made Faxin Tianshi feel unhappy. He looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to get angry with the NPC in the dungeon.

Still, Qi Wuyuan added a sentence lightly.

"Water color rose itself represents purity and innocence, wouldn't people with a purer heart be more likely to be selected?"

"do not worry."

After Qi Wuyuan said this, the other players became even more worried—they were all high-level players, and who cares about a clean heart.

Qi Wuyuan was not worried at all, it was not because of Lu Sien's ambiguous words to him, but because of the loopholes in Lu Sien's words.

Only humans will be selected by Aqua Rose.

There are only thirteen human beings present, so they can only be selected?
