After calling the player

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

After all, this is a big decision, and some experiments need to be done to confirm whether what the adventurers said is true or not, Marcellus has something to think about.

The players privately said that he is a good person who is always standing up and down, and he will definitely agree in the end, but he has to be guarded to prevent him from turning his face afterwards.

Goliath and Charlemagne were already preparing for this point, and the two of them thought surprisingly the same, and planned to steal the old emperor out after he fell asleep.

Eric saw that they knew what was in their hearts, so he didn't intervene much. Anyway, whether this matter can be done or not has little to do with their tribe's apparent relationship.

Players not only want to get involved in the replacement of the throne of the human empire, but also want to match up the eldest lady to fall in love with the prince.

With the unremitting efforts of some female players, and under Yuanchu's unobtrusive guidance, Olivia is willing to talk about love with them like a little girl sharing her thoughts with a good sister.

The education Olivia received since she was a child made her able to accept marriage, but she still has certain requirements and fantasies about her significant other.

She also knows that her ideal type is so ideal that it doesn't exist in reality.

If she has to choose one of her suitors, or young men of the right age in the circle she comes into contact with, then Marcellus is indeed in good condition.

But it was like the taller one among the dwarfs, and she was a little bit unwilling.

But if you choose Marcellus, you will be able to be a queen in the future.

She has great confidence in her elder brother, Duke Maxine, and her elder brother also hinted to her that if she likes him, she can marry him, and in exchange for supporting Marcellus on the throne, he can't be as smug as his father, and make such a mess. More children will come, so life should not be too sad.

The female players were clear-headed and surprised at the angles, and even advised her to be well thought out when she got married.

If you marry Marcellus, the goal should not be on the queen, but on the empress dowager.

Her elder brother may not be able to protect her all her life, not to mention, the age difference between them is so big, after her brother's death, her nephew may not have such a good relationship with her, maybe he will have some benefits with others If she is abandoned after the exchange, then her situation will be embarrassing, the queen may be deposed at any time.

Only one's own son becomes the emperor is the safest.

Yuanchu couldn't get his mouth in the whole process, and could only silently lament how amazing the girls are now.

Although Olivia drove them away angrily in the end, but from the fact that she locked herself in the room alone and looked thoughtful all the time, she knew that she didn't listen at all.

From then on, Olivia no longer resented Marcellus' pursuit, and gradually began to give him a good face, and she didn't know if she had made up her mind.

Eric has already seen it, and it is a wise choice to allow players to toss freely.

It seems that the Crescent Knights suddenly appeared overnight. These days, they have enough presence among the foreigners in Sendri City.

The force that originally agreed to meet with Marcellus was the most fearful. They had seen Marcellus' behavior in the past few days. When they went to him to discuss a specific plan, he was also a little absent-minded, as if With more important things, the feeling that it doesn't matter if their plan succeeds or not.

Not so good.

The underground forces that dare to deal with the princes of the empire are naturally powerful, and their leaders are not only looking for the money Marcellus promised, but also hope to tie their organization to Marcellus through a series of cooperation. At the same time, what they are looking for is a chance for him to use this to clear his name after he successfully ascends to the position in the future.

It is impossible for a country to have no dark side. An emperor also needs someone to help him deal with those things that cannot be brought to the table. Many hereditary nobles first made their fortunes like this.

The leader of this faction also wanted to follow suit, so he directly dispatched his confidants for the first contact with Prince Marcellus this time.

However, before their organization showed their strength in the first mission, Marcellus seemed to lose interest in this matter, and his confidant immediately couldn't sit still, and sent someone to inquire about the situation, and he found out News from the Crescent Knights.

The confidant will be sent to do this, which shows that he is definitely not a reckless person. He always has a reserved attitude towards the news circulating in the market, and he wants to contact the members of this organization in person.

Eric asked the players to keep their identities secret, and even made a special reputation of the Crescent Knights, trying to guide them through the increase or decrease of the reputation, but some players still didn't care and were careless.

There are also some players who have worked hard and feel good about themselves, but still have flaws in places they don't know. It can be said that they have no talent for underground workers at all.

Those in the front were regarded as bait deliberately released by his confidantes, but he ignored them, but he firmly believed in the members in the back who he picked out with "clues and horses".

***

As the night approached, the tavern was still brightly lit.

109's wife accompanied him to the entrance of the tavern, and told him, "Only drink one glass, do you hear me?! A glass of normal size! Don't let me find out that you're hanging out with those dwarves again, drinking from a barrel. What other people drink, what are you? You have to know how much you can drink! I'm going to bed first, and you should log off immediately after drinking!"

109 repeated guarantees.

He must give his wife a copy of the invitation letter for the game, but there are advantages and disadvantages to playing games with his wife.

In reality, his wife doesn't allow him to drink. In the game, since he got drunk and fell asleep and was kicked off the assembly line when the time came, she also started to control him strictly.

After fighting in every possible way, he retained the right to go to the tavern for a drink alone before going offline every day.

109 sat down at the bar, and said to the bartender behind the bar: "A cup of 'malt spring'."

The confidant pretended to be half-drunk, sat beside him holding a glass of wine, and asked, "Is that your wife? You are so strict."

109 became unhappy for a moment, and glanced at the NPC: "She is doing it for my own good. There is no way, I like drinking too much, and I don't have a clue when I'm drunk, so I dare to say anything."

Isn't it better? !

The confidant was overjoyed, and immediately changed his tone according to his intention: "Oh, yes, sometimes it is a kind of happiness to have someone in charge."

He raised his wine glass and said to 109: "Come, let's have a drink for future happiness!"

109 was a little puzzled, thinking that it had nothing to do with his toast before and after, but he didn't care, maybe it was just a setting.

Which player would refuse to talk to an NPC?Maybe it's some hidden mission.

Anyway, 109 didn't think much, raised his glass and touched him.

The confidant seemed to have just noticed what 109 was drinking, and said disapprovingly: "If you can only have one drink, don't drink this."

He turned to look at the bartender, took out a gold coin from his pocket, and said, "Give him a glass of 'Emerald Forest', my treat."

It is also a kind of beer, the price of Emerald Forest is more than 10 times that of Malt Spring, and the quality is naturally much better.

109 looked at the half-drinked wine in his glass, and silently confessed to his wife in his heart.

It's all done, don't let it go to waste.

Maybe this is the condition to trigger the hidden mission.

It's rare for an NPC to buy a drink. It's a good thing if you don't drink, it's all money.

109 raised the Emerald Forest, and Ton Ton drank most of the glass in one go.

"Okay!" My confidant applauded and drank several sips of his own wine, looking even more drunk, "Actually, your wine is not strong enough, men should drink strong wine! Try this kind of wine I drank. .”

He asked the bartender to bring 109 a glass of the same spirit, and the bartender complied. After all, the 1 gold coin he gave just now was more than enough to buy them.

109, with the mentality that he violated the agreement anyway, and if he didn't drink for nothing, he also did it for him.

Sure enough, it was strong wine, and he suddenly became a little smug.

The confidants used different excuses to invite him to drink several kinds of wine, and 109 never refused, and he soon became drunk.

109 is really bad at drinking. Although he doesn't know how to hit people, he loves to talk nonsense, dare to brag about anything, and has a really loud voice. He wants everyone around him to listen to his stories.

The confidant didn't know about his problem, so he started talking routinely according to his original plan.

"What's the name of the big brother?"

"Just call me 109."

"That's a good number. There are 108 more ahead?"

"No, my 108 older brothers are all people with names and surnames. Well, you can't say that, and sister-in-law..."

Speaking of this, 109 got excited, and without waiting for his confidant to ask, he took the initiative to tell him the story of "Water Margin".

109 was obviously drunk, and his thinking was not clear at all, but he was very calm when he told the story, and would interact with the audience around him from time to time. It didn't take long for the attention of other people in the tavern to shift to him.

However, he did not talk from the beginning to the end in order, but picked the most exciting part to talk about, sometimes it seemed a bit endless, and some audience members asked curiously before adding.

What's even more exaggerated is that 109 insists on including himself in every story, whether it's a drinking buddy at the same table, or a boy who leads a horse, and at the end of the day, he has to be a bystander, the kind who has witnessed Wu Song fight a tiger with his own eyes.

The confidant repeatedly asked about several details, and they all matched up. At a glance, he knew that it was not made up temporarily, so he was relieved, and arranged several rounds of fine wine for him, in case he would wake up.

During this period, the players passing by all looked at 109 with subtle expressions on their faces, and some people took screenshots and took videos. Basically, tomorrow is the scene of 109's death.

A player who is also a fan of the Water Margin couldn't help but retort when he brought private goods and said that Lin Chong was the most powerful: "Jade Qilin Lu Junyi is the most powerful."

109 was about to start arguing with him on the spot, but was persuaded by his confidants and other audience members, who wanted to continue listening to the story.

This player also shook his head, thinking that he couldn't argue with the drunk and left.

After this conflict, my confidant felt that what 109 said was more credible, and the people in the story must be members of the Crescent Knights!

What is forced to go to Liangshan to become a bandit? To put it nicely, isn't it essentially a bandit? It is no different from the nature of their organization. At most, they can only say that their original "Liangshan" is more powerful, and they don't need to hide underground.

But how did "Liangshan" become "Crescent Knights" later, there must be a story in the middle.

After thinking about it, the confidant felt that it was too clever to get so much information from the opposite party by relying on wine.

109 finished talking about the stories in "Water Margin" that impressed him the most, but his other memories were a little fuzzy, so he drank wine and tried his best to recall them.

The confidant asked eagerly: "What happened next?"

"Later?" 109 sighed, raised his glass and took another sip, and said desolately, "Later, I recruited security later. Recruiting security is meaningless. It was a mistake!"

He hammered the bar counter several times with his fist, and said affectionately: "You shouldn't recruit!"

The confidant still wanted to ask in detail, but 109 was unwilling to talk about it.

The confidant didn't give up, and wanted to continue to inquire about their backgrounds, so he handed him another glass of wine and asked, "How is the country that recruited security now?"

109: "Very good, the dynasty has changed a long time ago."

Hey, this is important information, so the number of targets for investigation will be reduced a lot.

The confidant silently recorded this important information.

109 boldly picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank several swigs, most of which flowed down his chin. He wiped his mouth and said to the kind person who invited him to drink: "It's boring to continue talking, I'd better tell you Let me tell you the story of how I fought Lu Bu with Sanying at Hulao Pass..."

A player next to him who came late spit out a mouthful of wine on the spot. How much did he drink?

In the early hours of the morning, the confidant urgently wrote to the leader.

"...Prince Marcellus is surrounded by the Crescent Knights who are in contact with him. This is an organization that includes bandits and bandits, down-and-out nobles, and even some regular troops from ruined countries. Its members come from different races and are powerful. .”

"This organization has experienced a failed recruitment in the history of its development, so it is very reluctant to go back to this old path. It does not conflict with our purpose, and we can cooperate with it. It is not recommended to be an enemy."

"In addition, we should also learn from their failures and prepare early. The specific suggestions are as follows:..."
