Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 16 The Past of the Castle

Everyone was idle and had nothing to do, so they began to allocate rooms. Wang Siyi, as the only lady, naturally occupied a small room, and because no one wanted to live in the same room with Baihe City, Baihe City also lived in a room alone. So the big room is Liu Xing, Wang Qi, and Chen Ling. They will make do with it, but as long as there is no accident, Liu Xing and others will not spend the night in the old castle, because as long as the main task is completed, Liu Xing and others will not spend the night in the castle. People will try their best to leave the castle and leave the town of Ains.

After allocating the room, Wang Siyi, who had nothing to do, went to his room to rest alone, and Baihecheng was also under the strong request of Liu Xing and Chen Ling, as well as Wang Qi's persuasion (physical). He went back to his room unhappy.

  This large room in the castle is more than 50 square meters, with some simple furniture decoration, and two large beds. You can see the back garden of the castle from the window of this room.

   Of course, it is not so much a back garden, but rather a somewhat run-down courtyard, already overgrown with weeds, it can be seen that it has not been taken care of for a long time.

But think about it, since Liu Xing entered the castle, he has only seen Old Wayne, the butler, and did not see any servants in the castle. It seems that the castle lord is worried about the crowd and being discovered. His own secret, or his limited economic ability, so he did not hire more servants.

Liu Xing thinks the latter is more likely, because from the layout of this room, for the British aristocrats who like to enjoy and have a good face, this room is a bit too shabby, and even the back garden is long. Time is not taken care of, there is only one old housekeeper in the entire castle, which shows that the lord of this castle has experienced an economic crisis.

   Liu Xing touched his chin and began to think about a question, do he have a chance to make a fuss about it?

If Liu Xing's previous guess is correct, the lord of the castle is likely to be a human with knowledge of the myth of Cthulhu. He may know some spells, or he can summon some relatively low-level mythical creatures, but as long as the SAN value is not low To single digits, then Liu Xing feels that he can still use persuasion skills to the lord of the castle, such as pretending to be a rich boy and providing financial assistance to the lord of the castle.

   Seems like a good idea.

"Player old doctor, because you have been observing the back garden of the ancient castle for a long time, you suddenly feel that there is a flower in front of you, as if there is something hidden in the deep grass, please pass an inspiration check." Suddenly, the voice of kp004 was in Liu Xing's ear. sounded.

Liu Xing frowned. He didn't expect that he would trigger the Inspiration Check. You must know that in such a situation, as long as the Inspiration Check is passed, it is very likely that some mythical creatures or supernatural phenomena will be seen, which will eventually lead to a decrease in the SAN value. This is also the last check that players don’t want to pass when running a group in Cthulhu.

   However, Liu Xing's inspiration is as high as 90, and it is difficult to pass.

   Therefore, Liu Xing could only say helplessly: "kp, start the inspiration check."

   Inspiration, 95/90, fail. (The author swears by his personality that the number of points the author casts himself is 95, and there is absolutely no manipulation of the dice girl)

  . . . . . .

   Liu Xing and kp004 fell into silence at the same time, did not expect that the 90% success rate check would fail.

  kp004 said helplessly: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky that this could fail, but since the result is a failure, then you didn't find anything, you just thought you were dazzled."

   Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was great that the inspiration did not succeed this time. Just now, Liu Xing was ready to lose SAN value.

   But then again, Liu Xing found that Wang Qi and Chen Ling didn't look at him, as if he didn't know that Liu Xing just passed an Inspiration check.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing contacted kp004 and said, "kp, did you not inform other players about the result of the inspiration test just now?"

Kp004 was probably depressed because of the failure of inspiration just now, so he didn't reply to Liu Xing right away, "Ah, oh, that's the case, players can make open and secret bets, and we kp will let players do it according to the situation. Only the player himself knows about the hidden throw, the progress and result of the hidden throw, and other players will not receive relevant messages and prompts, of course, players can also choose to tell other players the news."

   Liu Xing nodded silently and understood the meaning of kp004, which is equivalent to the player triggering a certain story, so only the player who triggered the story can make relevant checks and get various news about the story.

   Liu Xing felt that if he succeeded in his Inspiration check just now, he would probably trigger a side quest, and he didn’t know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Of course, Liu Xing decided to tell his teammates the news and let them be careful. After all, losing SAN value is still a trivial matter, triggering some unnecessary plots, or bringing out a mythical creature. Not fun anymore.

   But at this moment, a new check begins.

   Library utilization, 70/70, success.

The use of this skill in the library is actually an intelligence acquisition skill. It does not require the player to actually use it in the library. Instead, when the player accesses information through books, newspapers, the Internet, etc., this skill can be used to obtain information faster. information, get more information.

   Therefore, using the library is a very practical skill, but unfortunately Liu Xing doesn't have enough interest skill points, so he didn't point out this skill.

   Liu Xing guessed that this library skill should be used by Wang Siyi, because if Liu Xin remembered correctly, the reporter's professional skills include library use.

   After a while, Wang Siyi walked into the room with a book, and Baihe City, who had heard the news, also walked in.

"I found this book in my room, and found that it records various events that happened in this castle, and I also know that the owner of the castle is the Raphael family." Wang Siyi wrote the book He put it on the table and said.

"There are three main things. The first thing happened 1,000 years ago. The founder of the castle, Raphael I, was a marquis. At the time of this castle, there were casualties of workers. The recorded death toll was thirteen, and the number of missing was more than ten. Later, Raphael I discovered the devil under the foundation of the castle, and defeated the devil."

"The second thing happened about three hundred years ago. A group of secret societies that believed in demons appeared in the small town of Eins. In the garden behind the fort, the statue of the evil **** enshrined by this secret society was smashed and buried in the ground."

"The third thing is that a hundred years ago, a hundred well-equipped English soldiers were temporarily stationed in this ancient castle because of heavy rain. As a result, after a rainy night, this team of English soldiers mysteriously Disappeared when officers from Manchester came to hold the lord of the castle to account at the time, but were unsuccessful because no evidence could be found."

  PS: Continue all kinds of requests, alright.
