The absurd game of a performance artist

Chapter 118 The Earl of Van Moore (for Subscription, Monthly Pass)

Silver hair, well-dressed, square face, standing with hands behind hands at a 45-degree angle, looking up at the sky.

The gravitas exuded from the silver-haired man made Liusha faintly feel that this person should be a master!
When I was in the zombie dungeon before, Quicksand heard about the characteristics of the characters in the script during the conversations between the players before they left.

Generally speaking, in the script mode, the player is playing a role in the script world.

But if the player's level is high enough, the characters in the script will be affected by the player's [personality], resulting in certain changes.

The higher the player's level, the more the character image in the script tends to the original appearance of [Character].

So there is indeed a basis for Mozhen's beeping before [A master can always recognize players and NPCs at a glance].

The man in front of him obviously has a charm that is incompatible with this world, and this is the influence of [personality].

Just as Liusha and Jing were trying to talk to each other, there was a loud voice from the other end of the corridor!

"Oh?! It seems that you are my teammates, everyone is lucky to meet!"

Head start!
This loud voice made Quicksand feel his sword trembling!

Accompanied by a loud sound, a short, unremarkable man with a broad ax came out.

The other party was wearing a thorny hard shell vest, which was obviously a [relic] that did not belong here.

Behind him, followed by a tall and slender man.

Although the short man has pea-eyed, shallow brows and a small head, and looks ordinary, he is full of confidence, pointing at the tall and thin man behind him and saying carelessly.

"My next [Crazy C], this handsome guy is my brother [A Liang]!"

Hearing the introduction of the other party, before Liusha and Jing could reply, the silver-haired man who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly stared angrily and lost his voice.

"It's you?! Jiang Chuan Cichiro!"

This name made Jing's brows furrowed immediately, and a look of sternness appeared on his face.

Teijin?This damn game doesn't even have a [Wall]...

"Oh? Who is your Excellency, do I know you?"

The silver-haired man sneered and shouted domineeringly.

"Heh, seeing that you are mentally retarded and have a bad memory, let me remind you of a key word...【Ba】!"

The other party's words seemed to shock [Crazy C], he happily shouted at the tall and thin man beside him.

"Ah Liang! Look at me, whether I am hanging or not, this person will call me Dad when we meet!"

The nose of the man who called himself "tyrant" was so angry that his nose was crooked, he said darkly.

"Enough! Jiang Chuan Cichiro, I am Wang Shengmu's tyrant! You are a mere Kusano warrior, you dared to offend me last time, this time I will definitely tear you to pieces!"

In a previous game, the two bumped into each other. After Mo Zhiba reported his name as Wang Sheng's family, he thought that Jiang Chuan Cichiro would save face, and immediately froze in fright and begged for mercy.

Unexpectedly, the other party was not inferior, and also reported his name, and then played the traditional virtues of the island emperor Xia Keshang, and chopped him up with an axe.

Hearing the other party mention this glorious past, [Crazy C]'s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he swung the big ax in his hand vigorously, assuming a duel posture.

"Hoho, it turns out it's my defeated opponent, Ba Maggot! Want to collect debts, right? Come on, let's solo now, we'll decide the outcome!"

Without giving in, Brother Ba immediately took out a war hammer and said domineeringly.

"Let's do it! Whoever loves you is a dog!"

The Empire of Islands is a huge country composed of countless islands. Although each island has a different style due to the large area it covers, each place is full of martial arts and duels are popular.

Today, most areas of the island empire allow swords to be taken to the streets, and duels with swords are common.

This kind of ethos is brought into the game, and it is normal for them to directly fight at a disagreement.

Jing watched silently and coldly. As a citizen of Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, he hated and despised these island emperors very much.

Even putting aside the feud between the two places, in his eyes, the island empire is synonymous with barbarism and uncivilization.

These creatures living on the island are basically talking monkeys. Even today, there are still a large group of people who insist on using cold weapons such as swords and swords, which simply hinders the evolution of human beings.

As for Quicksand, the more he watched, the more hesitant he felt that the current situation seemed not right, and if this continued, his teammates seemed to be wiped out internally.

However, he doesn't have the ability to jump out and yell, "You guys stop, don't fight anymore", after all, he is just a [numb habituator]...

At this moment, an excited voice came from the balcony in the center of the hall.

"Oh, everyone seems to be full of energy! Welcome to my ancestral home, I hope everyone can maintain their current energy in the next treasure hunt!"

Hearing this energetic voice, Liusha suddenly looked up, and a dazzling blush caught his eyes.

"I am the Earl of Van Moore, your employer, let us get along happily~"

Following the direction of the source of the sound, everyone focused their sights on the balcony of the hall.

I saw a handsome young man in a red suit and a wide-brimmed hat with a face as white as snow looking down on them with a smile.

Every part of the opponent's body leaning against the railing was like the configuration in an art painting, placed just right, making the whole person exude a perfect elegance like a work of art.

Especially the extraordinary and unrepeatable aristocratic demeanor in the other party's appearance, let these noisy mercenaries instantly understand what it means to be "innate elegance".

Seeing this extraordinary employer, Brother Ba immediately restrained his tense posture, gave Kuang C a disdainful look, and then closed his eyes to straighten out his appearance.

After all, speaking of it, he was born in the Wangsheng family of the Island Emperor, and he was considered a member of a prominent family, so he couldn't lose face in front of this native noble.

Although when it's time to be domineering, you must stand up and defend your masculinity, but when it's time to be reserved, you must be courteous.

Of course, from a normal person's point of view, this guy is the stupid son of a landlord's family.

Seeing the other party's elegant and refined face, Liusha's heart skipped a beat, and his heartbeat began to speed up.

Excitement, doubts, nervousness, hesitation, cocktail-like complex emotions made Liusha's mind a little dazed.

Although the red suit looked more gorgeous, Quicksand could still feel the familiar smell.

But the aristocratic temperament emanating from the other party is genuine, which makes it difficult for Quicksand to connect it with the psychotic zombie.

"Is he... Mr. Xu? But Mr. Xu should be a player, and our employer should be an NPC..."

"Wait!"

Different from Quicksand's suggestion, the madman from the island empire not only interrupted Earl Van Moore's speech without hesitation.

"Are you really our BOSS? I don't think you look like it!"

As if he had expected that someone would question his identity, Earl Van Moore looked down indifferently.

However, before he could speak, Jing snorted and retorted disdainfully.

"Stupid Shima Teito, look carefully at the ring on his hand, and then look at the paintings on the wall!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the painting hanging behind Earl Van Moore in the center of the hall.

This is a portrait of a strange man in a dark brown costume, with a gray mask on his face, holding a red metal wine glass, and a flirtatious ruby ​​ring on his index finger.

After Jing's reminder, Quicksand can almost tell at a glance that the ring worn by Earl Van Moore should be the same one worn by the person in the painting.

clap clap clap clap-

Immediately, Count Van Moore applauded sincerely for Jing's outstanding words and deeds with a smile on his face.

"Hey, you have good eyesight. It seems that some of you can come in handy!"

Then he raised the ring on his hand and said solemnly.

"This is the ancestral ring of our family, and it is also a token of the head of our family. If you don't believe it, I can [fire] you directly..."

Kuang C was more than puzzled.

"Fired? What do you mean?"

Earl Van Moore leaned gracefully on the railing, condescendingly speaking with a smile on his face.

"[Firing] means that your work is over here, and you will disappear from this mansion and return to your original place... Do you want to try?"

Although the words were a bit tactful, everyone could still hear that [dismissal] meant Gameover, GG on the spot.

If the other party is really an NPC, this should be regarded as an explanation of the [game rules].

When everyone was in various scripts before, they more or less felt the existence of [game rules]. When certain conditions are triggered, there will be irresistible consequences.

Earl Van Moore's words are full of confident charm, making it difficult for people to raise the courage to question.

Looking at the words and deeds of Earl Van Moore without any flaws, and no one else showed up after waiting for a long time, these all prove that the other party is almost inseparable, and he should be the real master.

The questioning [Crazy C] touched his short nose in embarrassment.

Although he looks like a reckless man, he is actually a very cautious person, and he will always try his hand when encountering things.

Although he said "not too similar", in fact he thought it was "too similar", so he wanted to find out more.

However, this time, he obviously worried too much.

"Uh... don't try it, I just said it casually, a man's intuition... By the way, boss, what shall we do next?"

Count Van Moore flipped through the dilapidated notes in his hand, like a qualified task board, and solemnly issued the task to everyone.

"Go and find [Holy Grail of Desiring Red Thing] and [Mask of Insight into Eternal Secret], find them, and I will give you the generous rewards you expect!"

After receiving the task reminder and instructions, everyone no longer questioned, and dispersed in the huge mansion, looking for the relic according to Earl Van Moore's prompt.

After everyone left, Quicksand cautiously came to Earl Van Moore's side and said tremblingly.

"That, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Earl Van Moore showed a kind smile on his face, and persuaded him without changing his expression.

"Please call me Earl Van Moore when you speak, there is no such thing as Mr. Xu! I know you are not willing to accept your humble status and want to get close to me, but ah..."

"The world is like a script. Some people play the roles of mercenaries, some people play the role of employers, some people are doomed to work hard at the beginning, and some people are born to get something for nothing. These are all the settings written in the script!"

"Don't waste your time trying to be opportunistic, accept the settings obediently, and work hard for me. Isn't working silently what you are best at? Hahahahahaha——"

This……

Quicksand seemed to suddenly realize something.

The fate of this world has never been fair, wage earners are the fate of wage earners wherever they go!
As expected of Mr. Xu... Oh, no, it is the Earl of Van Moore, the words he speaks are so rich in philosophy and convincing!

Just when Quicksand got used to his setting as a wage earner and was about to set off to hunt for treasure, Earl Van Moore said suddenly.

"Oh, by the way, it's the first time we met, right? Don't act like you know me in front of them, or..."

Without warning, Earl Van Moore grinned his mouth to reveal a mouthful of horrifying fangs, and his eyes showed a frightening blood!
"I ate you~"

This kind of seemingly joking words, said by Earl Van Moore at this moment, made Quicksand shudder, and he was extremely sure that what the other party said was the truth!
He shuddered and said tremblingly.

"Understood... Boss!"

The next moment, Earl Van Moore returned to his normal appearance and smiled.

"Very well, let's go to work and find out what I want, dear Mr. wage earner~"

I don't know if it's because I'm scared or excited, but Liusha feels her heart beating so fast...

After all the players ran to work, Earl Van Moore nestled comfortably in the armchair, squinting at the worn notes in his hand under the dim light.

"Hee hee~ Take your time looking for it, wage earners! Hmm...according to the notes, the game is just beginning when I find that thing, so I have something to play today~"

"I found it!!!!!!"

A soul-piercing cry exploded in the silent Duke's mansion.

No need for communication tools, just relying on Kuang C's loud horn-like voice, everyone who was exploring in the mansion immediately approached the other party's position.

After a while, everyone followed the direction of the voice and came to a spacious banquet hall.

This spacious banquet hall is located at the rear of the mansion. There are countless crystals hanging from the huge chandelier on the dome, and the gorgeous tableware is extremely luxurious. An unrestrained gluttonous feast.

What is horrifying is that the distinguished guests who enjoyed the luxury here in the past still linger here. Although the gorgeous robes have been turned into tattered rags, and the plump flesh has been turned into dry bones, they still maintain the posture of eating and drinking in their lifetime. , motionless for the eternal feast.

No one knew what happened here. In the center of the hall was a long dining table exuding a solemn atmosphere. At the end of the dining table was a dark brown cup-shaped vessel.

Although time has changed, careful observation reveals that this vessel has many similarities with the red wine cup held by the figure in the portrait in the hall of the mansion.

Not surprisingly, this should be the [Holy Grail of Longing for Red Things] that Earl Van Moore said.
