After calling the player

===================

As the countdown approached, those creatures who were purely invited to eat, drink, drink, visit and have fun also arrived one after another, and various unstable factors began to surface slowly.

Charlemagne discovered many old acquaintances of the underground forces.

The Food and Wine Festival is a semi-closed festival event. Of course, these old acquaintances have all registered, and it can be found out who they came with and what their main work is.

But Charlemagne doubted the authenticity of these registration information. Anyway, it was impossible for them all to wash their hands and turn into vegetable washers, breeders, guards and servants.

Charlemagne even felt that whoever they followed might not be really loyal to this force. The water here was deep, and there might be some misleading information and exchange of interests.

This was only recognized by Charlemagne, and there must be people in the gray area that he didn't know, which made Eric feel uneasy.

Charlemagne took turns inviting his old friends to drink and connect with each other every day.

After a few rounds of wine, they basically hooked up and called each other brothers.

On the one hand, I said that I am a little naughty here, just ask if you need anything, on the other hand, I said that you can rest assured, brother, they just take the job to make some money, and it will not affect my territory, and I will never let my brother Brother is hard to do.

The two sides seemed to have reached an agreement, a harmonious look, but Eric still made Yuanchu pay special attention to these people.

Eric finally knew the main purpose of Marcellus' coming here. He came to join forces with an underground force, and wanted to hire them to deal with his prospective brother-in-law, and to blame him for this matter without leaving a trace. One of his brothers pretended to be another brother who set the blame on him.

What makes Eric feel subtle is that the people Marcellus targeted are not the same as the people behind the scenes that the two killers he sent over last time finally confessed. principle.

But, even if the instigator behind the scenes is the person Marcellus wants to deal with, it can't be called revenge. After all, he and the person from the underground forces must have made an appointment to meet with them at their place a long time ago.

The relationship between the characters here is too complicated. Yuanchu gave Eric all the gossip he had collected with great interest, but he was still a little dizzy.

There are too many brothers and sisters of Marcellus, and most of them are not on good terms. They are all for the throne of the family. The one sitting on the throne seems to be quite happy to watch them fight with each other.

Not knowing the cause and effect of everything, Eric is not good at commenting. He can only say that this is probably the difference between humans and Zerg.

Because the Zerg race has racial inheritance, everyone brings the knowledge they need. Although knowledge is not equal to wisdom, the gap between wisdom is generally not that big, so they still pay more attention to the value of force. If it involves disputes over the throne, Basically, everyone fights, and whoever wins wins.

For humans, it may be necessary to comprehensively examine the development of forces, their own defense capabilities, conspiracy levels, and even acting skills.

Eric felt like he understood humans a little more.

Marcellus just used his territory here to contact other forces. How he dealt with his brothers and sisters had nothing to do with Eric in the first place.

But players like to get involved in this kind of thing, even if there is no mission released, and they can't get the experience points and reputation rewards from Eric, they are willing to help Marcellus make suggestions.

Sometimes Marcellus would give them money rewards, so this group of players worked harder, and there were some who specialized in strategy, thinking that this might be "help" different from the mission.

This kind of "help" is really hidden. The trigger conditions are unknown, the completion conditions are not clear, and the flexibility is very large. You don't even know whether you can pass the judgment until you get the reward from the NPC.

"Help" has no experience points and prestige, but material rewards may be better-Marcellus is indeed rich.

Eric had a headache reading their blind analysis, but he quickly came up with a good idea.

It's time for the "Crescent Knights" to reappear. Eric intends to turn it into a mysterious mercenary force, and use special rewards to attract players who like external activities.

It happened that many creatures had inquired about the adventurers and where they came from. Eric planned to say that they were hired in the future.

Their tribe is only a member of the "Crescent Knights" force, so don't come to him if anything happens.

The Crescent Knights still have to continue the previous principle of secrecy. Even because of the large number of people, they have to go a step further. The identities of the internal members must also be kept secret, and they will not meet each other. Rely on the beginning to guide in the middle.

Eric has prepared a special dedicated channel and a special team channel for the Crescent Knights. Only the code name will be displayed on it, and the character name will not be displayed. Even if it is a close team task, players are encouraged to use the team channel to chat. Instead of speaking directly.

The code name in the team defaults to the code name filled in by yourself, and it can be changed at any time, and it can be displayed differently from usual.

The code name in the dedicated channel is still the name of the Werewolf Killer character given to him by Yuzu Jiang.At the beginning, players are all "common village names" on the whiteboard. Later, they can exchange their favorite codes according to the contribution value. The same codes are distinguished by the 4-digit suffix.

For players who want to join the "Crescent Knights", the reward for the first task is set as a suit that can hide their identity-including a black hooded cloak covering the whole body, a strange smiling face mask covering the entire face, and Black leather gloves with increased friction for better grip on weapons.

Eric writes and draws, laying down some ground rules.

Then he left the follow-up of this matter to Goliath and Charlemagne. He only had two requirements. One was to make the Crescent Knights as famous as possible, and the other was to let other people know about their tribe and the Crescent Knights. The relationship between the groups is just employment.

Eric found Goliath and Charlemagne separately, so that they could form a competition.

Their two ostensible leaders also have code names. Goliath is the "White Wolf King" and Charlemagne is the "Black Wolf King". They are a perfect pair.

If they want to issue a task, they can just write it on paper. Yuanchu will pay special attention to them and prevent them from messing around.

But Eric still felt that he underestimated the players too much.

The players continued their usual style, nicknamed Marcellus "Prince", and named his brothers and sisters "third", "fourth", and "fifth" according to their ranking... all the while. To "Old Eighteen".

Their father is naturally the "old emperor".Only Marcellus' eldest sister survived because she was married and lost her right of inheritance.

Olivia has basically no contact with the players, but because she is Marcellus' sweetheart, she also has a very appropriate nickname - "Miss".

When Marcellus was in contact with the adventurers of the Crescent Knights, when he talked about the things about the Ashaw Empire, he put himself in the position of a weak and innocent victim. Even if he took the initiative to do something, it was for self-protection Or revenge, and later found out that this group of mercenaries is really professional, and they don't care who is right and who is wrong, as long as the money is in place.

It's just his string of crooked siblings that Marcellus wants to deal with at first, but these mercenaries have a lot of experience (from watching novels and TV shows) in this area.

Their heart-to-heart analysis with him really made sense.

Even if he gets rid of one favored one, another one will come out, and even the old emperor can continue to have children at his age.

Sometimes who will be in power in the end depends not on the abilities of the princes and princesses themselves, but on the game of forces behind them.

Evidence is not important sometimes. What others care about is not whether you have done it or not, but whether the result is beneficial to them.

If the old emperor had been more ruthless, in order to secure his own position, he would have pretended to be an idiot, no matter right or wrong, he would just balance the power back and forth, so as not to let any of his sons and daughters stand out.

……

Thousands of words can be combined into one sentence - it is useless to solve other brothers and sisters, only becoming the emperor is the safest.

Other princes and princesses are fine, but if the first in line heir fails to become emperor, he will have to die.

Marcellus himself is not a man of high moral character. Under the repeated persuasion of the players, his ambition is ready to move. His biggest advantage over others is the right to inherit first.

As long as his father had an emergency, he didn't need to mutiny or rebel, and he would be the next emperor, taking the upper hand in public opinion. Of course, the premise was that his father's emergency had nothing to do with him.

After several "remonstrances" from the players, Marcellus finally expressed his concerns in a sanctimonious manner.

It's okay to attack siblings, it's almost a tradition of royal struggle, but patricide is a bit more problematic.

Marcellus also didn't say whether the problem was that he couldn't do it, or that he was worried that he would die if things were exposed, or that the other heirs would find out something and take the opportunity to rebel.

The players are indeed very experienced. Knowing this situation, even if the father resigns and the son laughs secretly, they must show the father's kindness and filial piety on the surface.

So some players mysteriously showed Marcellus the secret medicine of their Crescent Knights-"Huangliang No. 13".

Eric didn't even know that Mr. Zimu's Huangliang series has been researched to the 13th.

After Yuanchu's explanation, he realized that this player is the little grandson of Teacher Zimu, who entered the game stuck in the age limit, and Huangliang No. 13 was a few days ago, adding the unique herbs from the elves, Zimu Teacher Mu thinks this is the final form of the Huangliang series.

Huangliang No. 13 is colorless and odorless, and it restores the poison effect that was accidentally born during the first full server mission, and it is even more outstanding.

As long as two or three drops are added to the food, the eater can fall into a deep sleep, breathing and heartbeat, but there is no way to be awakened by ordinary means, even if he is killed during this period, he will not feel anything.

Huangliang No. 13 cannot be detected by conventional methods, and the only awakening method is also difficult to come up with by chance—Mr. Zimu’s experiments proved that the antidote is a special mixture of night tung tree bark and coffin-painting secret tung oil. odor.

This method can also be blamed for the accomplices of the evil spirits. It is because they have captured the evil spirits that his accomplices have now changed their goals. Not only are they collecting the souls of people with high spiritual power, they are also preparing to attack the dignitaries of the human empire. Let humanity fall into civil strife.

In this way, if there is any news about the enemy after them, in addition to the people sent by the Holy See, the humans can also get some support from various countries and the major nobles who are worried about being targeted. It is not a loss.

Teacher Zimu's grandson gave Marcellus the trial kit of Huangliang No. 13, and asked him to go back to test and think about it. He said nicely: "Your father has worked hard for the Yaxiao Empire all his life, so he should be tired." Now, let him rest for a while. You have grown up, and it is time to share his worries. When you have stabilized your power and made some achievements, then wake him up and enjoy the happiness."

Marcellus' heart was pounding: "You let me think about it."
