Chapter 446

Or is it that Queen Claudia has ulterior motives?

Leon's thoughts drifted, and he couldn't come up with a solution for the moment.

"So there really are lone wolf players, and there are at least two of them."

As Losweiser spoke, she looked at Leon with a slight smile, "Who do you think it would be?"

General Leon replied instantly, "Of course it's Claudia, who else would it be but me?"

Essential skills for a seasoned solo player:

They can shift the blame to anyone at any time!

The Queen raised an eyebrow and then asked, "But you just said that my sister might be a lone wolf."

"Your sister might be, and Claudia might be too. Doesn't this say 'at least two'?"

"Hmm... you might be too."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to spare me. I'm a truly good person."

Losweiser chuckled, resting her elegant chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes gazing at Leon, and said slowly,

"But I... like men who are a little bad."

"I am Lone Wolf, Your Majesty."

Losweiser punched his arm in annoyance. "What? How can you be like this?"

General Leon's inner thoughts: Everyone saw it, I told the truth, but she didn't believe me!

The couple looked at each other and smiled, then began to examine the last intelligence card.

"Special scenarios can trigger 'Global Fate'? I don't quite understand. There wasn't a similar rule in the family Werewolf we used to play," said Losweiser.

"But literally, it means that when one person completes a task, the effect will affect everyone, right?"

Losweiser nodded. "That makes sense."

The couple didn't pay much attention to the intelligence card and immediately displayed the prop cards they had collected that morning.

There are three in total:

[Super Influence]

[Effect: After using this item card, your vote count will become '5']

[Note: Can only be used once]

The Great Detective

[Effect: Can be used on any player to check if that player has 'killed' other players within the past six hours]

[Note: Can only be used once, no distance limit]

[The Avengers]

[Effect: If you witness a kill, you will gain a kill ability that lasts for 15 minutes.]

[Note: No 'Kill' item cards were found, so it's impossible to kill other players bare-handed.]

Compared to the information cards used by riddle-solving people, the prop cards are more intuitive and rarer, so the couple only found these three after a whole morning.

However, if you include the initial "Mint Herbal Tea", that makes four cards.

"They're all here."

Losweiser glanced at the wall clock in the kitchen, calculated the time, and said, "Our Unbreakable Bond is about to expire, so let's divide these things."

Leon paused, "Why does this sound like a divorce settlement...?"

Losweiser rolled her eyes at him, then stuck out her index finger and jabbed it hard into his chest.

"You want a divorce? Dream on! I'm going to torment you for the rest of your life."

Tap it every time you pause.

They almost turned General Leon into a hornet's nest.

"Alright, let's divide it."

Losweiser looked at the pile of cards on the table and then gave Leon for [Mint Herbal Tea], [Super Influence], and [Avenger].

She kept only "The Great Detective" for herself.

"The herbal tea was as agreed beforehand, it's for you to use. As for the Avenger, it's the same reason again, you like to wander around, the probability of you witnessing a 'kill' is probably higher than mine, so it's suitable for you." Losweiser slowly explained the reasons for this allocation.

"What about that Super Influence? You can keep it."

"No, you keep it."

Leon blinked, a sudden surge of emotion rising within him.

Despite our mutual dislike for each other, she has me in her heart!

Leon opened his mouth to express his gratitude, "Thank you—"

"If I had it, I wouldn't be able to resist voting you unanimously at the next meeting. Five votes! That's a total slap in the face!"

"..."

The emotion disappeared in a moment.

Just like at the conference table this morning, their flirtatious exchanges a few hours earlier did not prevent them from being at loggerheads during the meeting.

The same is true now.

Even though they had worked together for six hours and collected and analyzed a lot of information, it did not prevent Her Majesty the Queen from continuing to vote for Leon in the following meeting.

All of you, the Lone Wolf and the Queen, have your own quests within the game;

But this Queen different. This Queen mission in this life is to defeat Leon Casmod in every game and contest!

The two tidied up the cards, then Losweiser stood up, patted Leon on the shoulder,

"I'll be going on a solo mission this afternoon. Like I said, don't die before I find the 'kill card'."

After saying that, the Queen left in her high heels.

Leon smiled as he watched her tall figure disappear into the distance, then lowered his head and put away his prop cards.

Then he got up and left the kitchen.

The game continues.

As various clues surfaced, everyone became increasingly immersed in this undercurrent of competition.

However, only one-third of the game has progressed.

The following process... will be even more fraught with unknowns and crises.

After dinner, Leon planned to go back to his room to rest and prepare for the night's operation.

He wanted to move the Black Holy Stone that was hidden in the communal kitchen to a different location.

But just then, the Imprint Stone in Leon's pocket emitted the voice of an NPC.

"Someone has opened the castle's alchemy room and released some kind of infectious disease. Please go to the [Doctor's] room within one hour; the antidote is there."

"If the time limit is exceeded, the system will be eliminated."

Leon frowned slightly. "The alchemy room... an infectious disease..."

Leon recalled the information card he and Losweiser had found at noon, which concerned "special scenarios triggering the Global Fate."

Could it be that... this alchemy room is a 'special scene'?

Is infectious disease the 'Global Fate'?

Filled with doubt, Leon went to his eldest sister Ischa's room.

When he arrived there, Mu En and Xiao Guang had just left.

"Daddy, are you sick too?" Mu En asked.

"Yes, we came to Aunt Ischa to ask for the antidote."

"The antidote tastes so sweet, Daddy, you have to try it!"

Leon grinned and said, "Haha, actually Daddy tried it in the first round."

Can you guess why Daddy got sick?

Of course, it's your Mom's doing.

"Okay, Daddy got it. By the way, did you find any useful clues this afternoon?"

"Oh, we found it—"

Mu En was about to share, but then stopped herself and immediately changed her mind, saying, "No, Mu En and Xiao Guang didn't find anything!"

Although his second daughter's face clearly said, "I'm lying," Leon still smiled and played along.

"Okay, after you take the antidote, go back to bed early and don't stay up late."

"Yes, Daddy!"

The two little ones left hand in hand.

Leon then pushed open the door and entered.

"You are the last person to come to me for the antidote."

Ischa sat upright behind the wooden table, on which lay the last antidote.

Judging from the color, it should still be orange flavored.

Leon walked to the wooden table, glanced down at the candy, but didn't take it immediately. Instead, he asked...

"Sister, you should have noticed the information on the Imprint Stone, right? Someone opened the alchemy room, which is why we got infected."

Ischa chimed in with a complaint, "That wretched guy, why did he have to open a potion-making room? It's keeping me so busy."

"So who do you think... opened the alchemy room?"

Leon thought his usually clever older sister could offer some inspiration.

But Ischa shook her head. "I have no clue... Everyone comes to me for the antidote, even I, the [doctor], have to take it, or I'll be eliminated. So who opened the alchemy room... I'm not really sure either."

Leon seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "So as long as we figure out who opened the alchemy room, we can find a [wolf], right?"

"Yes, I think so too. Do you have any clues or information about the [wolf]?"

Leon thought for a moment and replied, "There's intelligence related to the Queen. It says that although she deeply loves the Princess, she has other motives. So I suspect Claudia is part of the Wolf's faction."

"That makes sense... We should question her properly at the next meeting."

"Um."

"Alright, take the antidote now, don't go over the time limit." Ischa gestured with her chin toward the candy next to Leon's hand.

Leon picked up the candy, hesitated for a moment, and then put it in his mouth.

"Don't forget the meeting at 8 PM," Ischa reminded him.

Leon nodded, then turned and left Ischa's place.

As soon as he closed the door, Leon rushed back to his room.

He ran to the bathroom and spat out the candy.

After rinsing his mouth, Leon took out the Mint Herbal Tea that Losweiser had given him.

He opened the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

17. I'll reward you by having a third child (4,000 words)

After drinking the Mint Herbal Tea, Leon did not immediately throw away the 'antidote', but instead found a small box to keep it safe.
