Chapter 1115: The Chameleon Who Infiltrated the Castle
Of course, in fact, Liu Xing didn't really fall into a coma for several days, just "slept" for a few hours.
"So Brother Dark Horse, did Duke Gundogan entrust you with something by the way when he saw you off the castle?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
After all, his group tried their best to risk their lives to help the dark horse, and their purpose was to get the duke medal that might exist on the black horse.
It's a pity that in the expectant gaze of Liu Xing and the others, the dark horse shook his head and said: "You guys are thinking a little too much, Gundogan didn't give me anything before sending me out of the castle, because the reason why he let me leave the castle is that he doesn't want me to get involved in what is about to happen in the castle... To put it simply, I was released by Gundogan this time. ”
Speaking of this, the black horse sighed, and Liu Xing and the three of them could clearly see the loneliness and depression on the face of the black horse.
Looking at the direction of the castle, the dark horse said seriously: "Listen to my advice, if you still want to live, don't go back to the castle, because the castle has become a trap now, Gundogan's death is the best proof, and if I hadn't left the castle at that time, I'm afraid I would have gone to Gundogan's footsteps!" ”
Hearing the dark horse say this, Liu Xing and the three of them raised their eyebrows, and they were shocked, because the dark horse is also a mythical creature, and its strength is also very good, at least similar to that of an elite-level deep diver, but it didn't even dare to stay in the castle, which means that there may be a more powerful existence in the castle.
According to the usual routine of the Cthulhu Run game, Liu Xing and the three quickly guessed who the powerful existence in the castle would be.
That's right, that is the chameleon that was the first to leave the forest!
"Brother Dark Horse, if we're not mistaken, that chameleon has infiltrated the castle disguised as someone, and it's the one who wants to disadvantage you and Duke Gundogan?" Li Hanxing said with a frown.
Dark Horse nodded, sighed again, and said, "That's right, that's it, and it's a long story, if you don't mind, I can talk to you about it, so that I can help you decide whether you want to go back to the castle or not." ”
Liu Xing and the three looked at each other, and soon reached a consensus - listen.
Anyway, it will take more than two hours to get back to the castle from the forest, so it's not bad to listen to the story of the dark horse along the way. Information about the boss chameleon behind the scenes.
After all, Liu Xing and the others would not give up Alice who was already in the castle, so even if the castle had become a tiger's den in Longtan, their party had to go back.
What's more, now that there is a dark horse present, Liu Xing and the others are not good at letting the dark horse explore the way in front first, and the three of them will open a secret room in the back to discuss the problem.
So, the dark horse began to talk about it when he left the forest.
After the wolf king left the forest, the dark horse felt that it was not interesting for him to continue to stay in the forest, because he didn't want to try what he would become after being hit by the ability of the flame monitor lizard, after all, he had been fighting with the wolf king for so long, at most, it would suffer a little flesh wound that would not hurt the muscles and bones, but if it was directly hit by the attack of the flame monitor lizard, then no matter how lucky he was, he would have to lose one or two parts.
So after thinking about it for a few days, the dark horse also chose to leave the forest.
After leaving the forest, the black horse originally wanted to go back to his original home - a horse farm more than a hundred kilometers away from the forest, but after walking for a while, the black horse chose to give up, because the horse farm is dedicated to breeding pack horses, the black horse feels that he is no longer compatible with his former relatives and friends, and the owner of the horse farm is unlikely to let himself eat and drink in the horse farm with peace of mind.
So in order to avoid trouble, the dark horse chose to do the opposite, preparing to find a hidden valley to live a secluded life.
As a result, it didn't take a few days for Dark Horse to find his ideal retirement place, but at the same time, he also met Gundogan when he was young.
At this time, Gundogan had not inherited his father's title, but only hung a knight's title.
And the reason why Gundogan appeared in that hidden valley was because his second brother wanted to be against him.
Because the succession mechanism of the title in this special world is very strange, Gundogan, the youngest of the siblings, won the appreciation of his father because he was smart and clever since he was a child, so after Gundogan's father fell seriously ill, some people in the family began to claim that Gundogan would inherit the title.
As a result, Field, who thought that he should inherit the title more, that is, Gundogan's second brother, decided to strike first to solve the potential threat of Gundogan.
Therefore, Field pretended to invite his brothers and sisters to participate in the hunt, and then let his men release a brown bear at the right time, forcing everyone to flee in all directions, so that Field could attack Gundogan with his men.
Fortunately, Gundogan's riding skills were good, and he had a very good relationship with his mount, and he had reached the point of heart-to-heart, so Gundogan escaped the attack of his second brother, but Gundogan's mount was already seriously injured, and after barely bringing Gundogan to this valley, he could no longer move, and he had more air out and less air in.
Compared with the flame monitor lizard, wolf king and chameleon, the black horse is originally an ordinary domestic pack horse, so its feelings for humans are still deeper, so when the black horse sees Gundogan holding his mount and crying bitterly, the dark horse thinks Gundogan is a good person.
Especially before Gundogan's mount died, he intermittently asked the dark horse to help his master, which also made the dark horse feel that Gundogan was a good human being, but unfortunately its dark horse was the chosen horse, how could it be a mount for an ordinary human?
Just when Dark Horse refused and was about to leave the valley to live in seclusion, Field arrived here with his men and began to attack Dark Horse and Gundogan without saying a word.
Although the dark horse is skilled, it is limited to hand-to-hand combat, and the dark horse's own defense is too strong, so when facing Field and his men's strong bows and crossbows, the dark horse has to admit it, and also realizes that he seems to be in a very dangerous situation, because there is only one entrance and exit to this valley, and this entrance and exit is also blocked by Field and his men.
In desperation, the dark horse could only choose to compromise and let Gundogan help him attract firepower, but he didn't expect Gundogan to say that he planned to fight to the death with Field and his party to avenge his mount.
The next plot is a bit bloody, although Gundogan and Dark Horse cooperate for the first time, but they show a very tacit understanding, and in the end, although they suffered some injuries, they still managed to kill Field and his men.
After this side by side battle, the dark horse became friends with Gundogan, that's right, because the dark horse accidentally revealed the fact that he could speak at the end of the battle, so Gundogan was shocked and began to treat the dark horse as a person, so the dark horse also decided to temporarily follow Gundogan's side to eat and drink, which can be regarded as letting Gundogan repay his life-saving grace.
In this way, Dark Horse and Gundogan became friends of life and death.
By the way, the "outsiders" who followed Gundogan to the battlefield back then were indeed Oda Nobunaga, as well as some soy sauce parties who came to make up the numbers, and the dark horse also admitted that Oda Nobunaga gave Gundogan a lot of help, so Gundogan was able to win all the time.
After the end of the war, Gundogan also gave a horseshoe to Oda Nobunaga!
That's right, this horseshoe is the treasure that the public faction took from Nagoya Castle.
The horseshoe was actually obtained by Gundogan a long time ago from a wandering merchant who claimed that the horseshoe had been blessed by Lady Luck, so that after the user struck the horseshoe with the matching hammer, the horseshoe would make the user's luck very good.
However, this horseshoe only has three matching small hammers, and each small hammer will be broken directly after striking the horseshoe, and other things cannot knock on this horseshoe, so this means that this horseshoe can only be used three times, of course, the most important thing is that Oda Nobunaga was "in a hurry" at that time, so Gundogan did not have time to hand over a small hammer that he accidentally dropped in the cabinet to Oda Nobunaga, and Oda Nobunaga had already disappeared.
Hearing this, Liu Xing knew why Tokugawa Ieyasu chose to seal the horseshoe underground in Nagoya Castle after getting the horseshoe, it turned out that the two small hammers brought out by Oda Nobunaga had been used by him and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
And that's why the members of the public faction came back here with that piece of horseshoe.
Back to the point.
Although Gundogan won the war, the dark horse found the chameleon's traces more than once during this period, and sensed that the chameleon seemed to be planning a terrible plot.
So after the war was over, Dark Horse had a good discussion with Gundogan and decided to come back and wait and see what happened, preparing for the next step in dealing with the chameleon.
As a result, what Dark Horse and Gundogan didn't expect was that the chameleon's next plan turned out to be to attack Gundogan!
That's right, the reason why Gundogan died suddenly was because the chameleon had infiltrated the castle!
Although the chameleon's ability is to transform into other people without flaws, it has a big flaw in itself, that is, the chameleon's path will leave a trace of its scent in its path.
Although the smell is so faint that a human nose can't distinguish it at all, and the smell disappears soon and completely, for a dark horse who has spent some time in the forest with a chameleon, it can still detect the chameleon's scent, especially if the chameleon stays in the castle for a long time.
Realizing that something was wrong, Dark Horse had already informed Gundogan as soon as possible, but it was already too late, and Gundogan found that he had been hit by an incurable poison.
Therefore, Gundogan could only take advantage of the fact that he was still able to act normally and release the dark horse out of the castle overnight, because Gundogan knew very well that after the chameleon dealt with him, it was very likely that he would come to trouble the dark horse in the first place.
As for why the chameleon attacked Gundogan, Gundogan and the dark horse must be unanimous because of the Duke's Medal.
To put it simply, the chameleon wants to become a duke, and maybe uses this as a springboard to become a king later!
"So, Dark Horse, who do you think the chameleon has become in the castle now?" Sun Huiwen asked.
The dark horse shook his head and said helplessly: "The incident happened suddenly, when I found out that the chameleon had infiltrated the castle, Gundogan had an accident within a few days, so I didn't have time to find out who the chameleon was; However, there are not many people who can find an opportunity to poison Gundogan, so this can be narrowed down to the five Zum brothers and the six butlers, because they are the only ones in the castle who can meet Gundogan one-on-one, and be able to sit down for a cup of tea and a snack or something. ”
"Wait." Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and said with some doubts: "Didn't Green and Ark come to the castle after Duke Gundogan's death?" They didn't mention that they had met Duke Gundogan before that. ”
Hearing Liu Xing say this, the dark horse couldn't help but stop and said, "What? In this way, Green and Ark are very problematic, because they secretly came to the castle once before Gundogan's accident, and it was only after they came to the castle that I noticed the smell of the chameleon, but after Ark and Grimm left, the smell continued to appear in the castle, so I didn't list Ark and Grimm as key suspects. ”
That's kind of interesting.
Liu Xing touched his chin and said seriously: "In this way, this Ark and Green are indeed very problematic, but it is also very likely that the chameleon wants to cause trouble, so he deliberately did it when Ark and Green met Duke Gundogan, the purpose is to make us suspect Ark and Green; As for why Ark and Green didn't mention this matter, maybe they were worried that Zum would take advantage of the topic, but then again, the reason why the knighthood medal in Duke Gundogan's hand was hidden in various places should be Duke Gundogan's own idea. ”
"That's right, because Gundogan and I carefully analyzed it and thought that the goal of the chameleon's trip was the Duke's Medal, so Gundogan decided to hide all the medals in his hand, and also left some clues for the Zum Five, if the Zum Five were not replaced by the Chameleon, then they would all have a chance to get any knighthood medal." Dark Horse replied affirmatively.
