The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Volume IV: Chapter [-], Cloak

"Is there anyone who hasn't voted yet? Hurry up, go to the official website and cast a sacred vote for the Earl! Each of you votes is related to whether the Earl can stay in the top five popularity rankings!"

"It's single!"

"Oh, it's Shan Shan!"

"You guys... Forget it, anyway, go vote!"

"Recently, the role of the earl has completely become single. The original single-push earl sauce has not appeared for a long time..."

"It's the same as Shameless, suddenly one day I became inactive. Is it because people who are active here have a higher chance of becoming cash?"

"It should be that the chance of explosion is relatively high (No Mercy"

"Then the next one to explode will probably be Dandan?"

"vote--!"

"Speaking of which, the popularity vote on the official website is completely deceptive. A male-oriented game actually produced a popularity vote for a male character... Who is the target audience for this vote?"

"It's better to say that it's GALGAME, so it's weird to be able to produce so many male characters...Grass (plant), Chris is actually No. 1."

"That's why the voters are all GALGAME players. Amongst a bunch of male characters, adding Chrissy is simply a dimensionality reduction blow..."

"You didn't find anything worse. Not only Chris, but even Chris is ranked seventh."

"?"

"Is the second one Paradu?"

"It's understandable. At first, I was still thinking that taking a biological daughter with me when I went out, where did this hardcore GALGAME actor come from, but later I was conquered by his performance."

"Yeah, in the early stage, he was obviously just an ordinary person, and he was involved in a huge main line like the revival of the kingdom, and he could still have a highlight performance."

"In the chapter where the entire old capital was deceived by magic, I almost didn't realize that the heroine basically didn't appear!"

"He's also the only male protagonist who turned into a devil, right?"

"The devil is screaming (no"

"Well, it's not a powerful demon. Rather, there are people who can kill a demon even if they're not a demon."

"Well, those two are right below."

"The third is Nero, and the fourth is Egged? Although that is also one of the charms, but after the prologue, Egged is too entangled and hesitant. When I saw him bursting a castle when he appeared, I thought I could finally play the invincible storyline..."

"Since sometimes the shortcomings of these characters can also become attractive, if Nero can be a little smarter, will the ranking go up or down?"

"Hard to say..."

"I imagined the picture of the wise general Nero, and now my brain hurts."

"So why are we raving about a bunch of men?"

"unlucky!"

"Unlucky +1"

"Nanone."

"Nanone+...no+!"

"Then again, how did the Earl surpass so many male protagonists and rank fifth? Besides dying all the time, what else does the Earl have?"

"There are two more exquisite CGs?"

"I'm speechless."

"Then again, is there any reward for ranking in the top five of the male character popularity list? Let Shan Shan canvass votes everywhere."

"Maybe there will be a separate story line for the top few?"

"Are you serious...the top few are basically male protagonists, how can we add a storyline?"

"That means Chris can add two more!"

"No no no no..."

"Now that we're talking about the story line, the DLC will be available for purchase tomorrow."

「准确来说是还有22小时41分33秒，现在31秒了，30...」

"What's more? Are you going to sell DLC?"

"You don't even know? Are you living in a cave somewhere?"

"Uh, although the news is a bit late, there's no need to go too far, right? The release of a DLC for a game is not something you need to know about."

"The main reason is that there is a video that is out of the circle, and everyone has been discussing it recently. It can even be said that if there is no big event airborne, this matter can still be discussed for a long time. [Video link]."

"Oh? And this thing? Can you give me a general introduction, the signal on my side is a bit difficult to watch the video... Well, I admit, I do live in a cave."

"Tsk... To put it simply, this UP master, after unpacking the game, found that there seemed to be something hidden in the game. So, it was finally located at the end of the academy chapter, on the CG that says TRUEEND."

"He doesn't know how to trigger the Easter egg, anyway, he just keeps swipe there with the mouse, just like the feeling of constantly rubbing with an eraser in drawing software."

"After a few hours of scrolling, the CG screen suddenly changed!"

"Hiss—(takes a breath"

"Hiss—(Global Warming"

"That picture, to put it simply, is that when overlooking the entire academy, the beautiful spring scene has changed into a picture dominated by orange and red colors, with dilapidated ruins everywhere. Then, in the words TRUEEND, the big Part of it also fell off, leaving three letters LIE."

"Oh! It's almost like listening to urban legends. But is this level out of the circle? And it has nothing to do with DLC, right?"

"Don't be so anxious. That video lasted more than an hour, and I've only talked about the first 5 minutes now."

"!"

"After that, the UP master tried to see if the text could be erased in other places. Especially those fonts are the same as the fonts of the final CG of the academy chapter. The inconspicuous magic circle that was originally lying in the background screen of each line , walls, ceilings, books, artifacts, and more.”

"As a result, he really wiped out a lot, and then arranged them according to the unlocking sequence of the lines, but nothing came out. Then, he tried to arrange them according to the timeline of the story. In the end, he really got a line of encrypted code. "

"!!!"

"The encrypted code has been solved many times, and there may be seven or eight floors. After going around various websites that indicate the past, he found a coordinate."

"Coordinates? Is there such a setting in the game?"

"It doesn't exist in the game. But... doesn't it exist in reality? Although, from the coordinate analysis, that location is almost on the other side of the world."

"...He won't be going?"

"Well, he's gone."

"Ruthless."

"It's really ruthless. It's too ruthless."

"What a ruthless person, he is obviously rich!"

"Anyway, in reality, he flew around half the world and spent more than two months in the same way as he wandered around various websites to decipher it before."

"Finally, the puzzle was solved. He dug up a letter from the production team, a DLC installation disc, and a box with some gifts."

"After his DLC was successfully installed and connected to the Internet, he went to the previously hidden DLC release website and started a one-week countdown."

"That website is naturally real, anyone can visit it, and everyone is watching the countdown."

"Wow - I don't know what to say. Whether it's the UP master or the producer, are they too hardcore? Rather, if there is no such a ruthless person, it is still in reality to decipher the code. Flying around looking for easter eggs. Don’t sell the DLC that has already been made?”

"Is it possible, I mean is there a possibility. After the time for the sale is almost up, no one can find it. The production team will release the URL by itself, or be the UP host..."

"Uh...that's right."

"Anyway, that video is a huge hit right now, and there are related articles and videos everywhere."

""A certain guy flew abroad to play games""

"It's understandable, I can understand it, I have to see it with my own eyes once I get out of the cave!"

"But for me, I'm more interested in that UP master's next video than that video."

"Next? Is it more ruthless? He landed on the moon?"

"No, no. Have you forgotten? Apart from the production team, he is the only one who can play the DLC in advance. Although, in order not to spoil the spoilers, he played a lot of riddles, but it is still quite interesting."

"!"

"What's in the DLC?"

"It seems that each line adds two attackable characters and an IF line. The attacking role was not mentioned, but a few IF lines were mentioned."

"The maiden line is Sally's IF line."

"Sally? Oh, Nero's childhood sweetheart. Well, it can only appear on the IF line..."

"The murderer line is Sechin's IF line."

"Sechin? Who is that..."

"It's the sister of Ivana when she was in medical school. She also participated in the case. There are only silhouettes of characters in the whole article."

"It's clearly just a silhouette of a person, but the silhouette of that person is inexplicably awkward!"

"...Is there any more?"

"Diva line is Nadine's IF line."

"Huh? Who is Nadine?"

"It took me a long time to find this one. It was the silver diva's debut, and when the Hermann Theater Company was not absolutely top-notch, the head idol of another big theater company that competed with the Herman Theater Company. There is not even a silhouette, The name only appeared twice in the dialogue."

"It's a shame that you can find out..."

"This is not the most extreme, what is even more extreme is the Ilofer IF line in the Kingdom Restoration line."

"This person is..."

"To put it simply, there are a few books in the Four Corners Society. The author of those books is Ilofer. A woman who only appears a few times in the game's materials or documents."

"..."

"In addition to these mysterious IF lines, the UP master also said that DLC can solve many puzzles, and the earl is the key to everything."

"Also, he can't wait to play the sequel..."

...

...

The Kingdom of Mebrian, the surrounding area of ​​Campret Territory.

A mountain with clear water... In a small frontier village with poor mountains and rough waters, a wooden hut full of thatch that seems to fall down when the wind blows, this day is more lively than in the past.

"Big sister, big sister, big sister Sally Yeh!"

The boy with silver hair, puffed up like a hedgehog, rushed into the house in a hurry.

Slightly supporting her body and sitting on the bed, the young woman covered with a thick quilt, just as the boy called her, was called Sally Yeh.

Although it is still the season when winter is not fading, Sally Yeh's fear of the cold is still quite abnormal.

The heat emitted by the magic furnace placed in the center of the small room made the young man who had just entered the room break into a thin layer of sweat.However, even beside such a magic furnace, Sally, who was wearing a lot of thick clothes and covered with several layers of quilts, still trembled slightly from time to time.

Sally, who was also wearing a thick scarf inside the house, only had a small part of her face exposed.

And the sallow face, rough skin, and the ferociousness that appeared from time to time as if enduring pain.

With these elements included, no matter how beautiful she is, Sally at this time cannot be associated with beauty.Not to mention, her patched costumes that surround herself.

"Add 'little', stupid Nero!"

Sally stared angrily at Nero who had already rushed in front of her and said.

"Uh... add 'little'? Little Miss?"

Nero asked confusedly.

"Miss!"

"Ah...anything is fine. Sister Sally, look!"

As Nero said, he turned around and showed the knight cloak he was wearing to Sally.
