Chapter 275 274 Looking for the codename "Pangolin"(2/2)
"Kenport Bonegnasher is dead tonight, and I have no doubt that that fool will become a sad supporting character in the story of Lord Murphy's great journey.
But the problem is that its death will cause chaos in the entire camp, and tens of thousands of gnolls running around will make your previous efforts to expel the bandits in Transia useless.
I have been thinking about this issue in the past few days, and I think I can offer my little wisdom to Mr. Murphy on this matter."
"Ding!"
The pop-up sound of the calculation orb represents the task update.
Everyone lowered their heads and saw that the plot mission of "Looking for Pangolins" has advanced to the second step. The content is so concise that there is only one sentence:
[Hidden plot mission·‘The Birth of a Clan’ has been updated!
Task content: Listen to the ‘pangolin’’s opinion and decide whether to help it.
hint!
This task has a great impact on some important subsequent plots, so please make your choice carefully.】
The prompts attached to this task made the administrators in the entire team start to exchange glances. Although players with managerial expertise may not necessarily be smart, it is certain that fools are definitely not good at management positions.
It can be said that everyone here is a quick-thinking person.
They could easily judge from the name and prompts of this mission what kind of ripples this mission would bring to the already complicated situation in Transia.
"The gnoll clan formed by Hogg is likely to become the players' friendly force after this dungeon!"
Zhuo Zhenghao quickly started a private chat and brought in all the administrative players in the team. He narrowed his eyes and said to the others:
"This may represent some attempt by Lord Murphy to manage his territory, but the development team gave us the choice of whether to establish this alien force!
Just like old players said that they have encountered similar plot branches before.
It was their choice to save Miss Femis, and when Cadman City was destroyed, it was their choice to stay that led to the present Transia.
The problems we face are of the same nature."
"In other words, if we choose to refuse to help this jackal here, will the entire subsequent plot line about it be directly cut off?"
Brickman said:
"Damn it, it feels like I lost five million out of thin air."
"Yes, there are new plots, new forces, new reputations, and maybe new rewards."
The dump truck man leaned on his shotgun and said:
“I don’t know what everyone thinks, but I think we shouldn’t miss this.
Transia should also have some gnolls that can interact with each other. They were also born on this land. According to Lord Murphy, they are also part of this land.
What do you think?"
"Hey! Are you officials really planning to kill Hogg?"
Xiao Weiming was a little anxious, and she argued with reason:
"All you can get from killing it here is a few pieces of broken leather armor, but keep it and keep raising it! After it has a clan, it can give us more tasks, more money, and more equipment. Who will kill it?
An NPC that sends out quests by itself?
Hogg is very smart, and we raised him first. I don’t care. If you don’t want to do this task, I can compensate you.
But I have to stay with this jackal!"
"Don't be impatient. Aren't we discussing this?"
Brother Shovel comforted Xiaowei Ming, and then said to others in the private chat:
"What Xiaowei Ming said is right. Even if you want to slaughter a pig, you have to wait until the pig is fat before slaughtering it. This Hogg is obviously out of luck now. I suggest everyone keep it and complete this hidden mission first?"
"What I'm worried about is the plot."
The mature and prudent old Chentou has been in the game for a long time. Because he often chats with Professor Malcolm, he knows more about the history of this land than others.
He said:
"The reputation of gnolls in Transia is not good, and I heard from Professor Malcolm that a disaster called the 'Black Disaster' is related to these gnolls.
That's a pretty horrific continent-wide scourge.
Do you know what this means?
If we want to keep this Jackal and help it support its power, then we will most likely be on the opposite side of other camps on the mainland.
What I mean is that things can easily go wrong if you don't operate it properly.
Lord Murphy and Mrs. Tris may not care, but it will not be easy to convince the witch hunters and blood alliance knights."
"Professor Chen is right, this aspect also has to be considered."
Life is good and he nodded, but then the guy changed the subject and said:
"But we are players, everyone! We are now all blood servants of the Blood Eagle Clan in name only, and Transia is the last remaining ruins of a country that has just been dismembered.
It is no exaggeration to say that regardless of whether there is this Jackal or not, our relationship with other forces on the mainland may not necessarily be that good.
It would be a pity if we had to give up this opportunity to cultivate our own power for the sake of those 'friends' we haven't met yet.
More importantly, if you look at the gameplay alone, I think having enemies all over the world is actually not a bad thing.
When it is impossible to tell who is a friend and who is an enemy, treating them all as enemies is not a simple, crude and effective solution.
If they are willing to treat us as friends, just a vassal of the Gnoll clan, they will pretend not to see it.
If they don't consider us friends, they can still declare war even without Hogg and his clan!
What do you think?"
This statement made other young players nod their heads, and the honorary knight Taipal, who had been silent for a long time, took a step forward. He leaned on his sword and shield and said in a deep voice in a vivid imitation of the NPC:
"I have seen the most noble alien races, and I have also witnessed the most despicable human beings."
"Hey, don't repeat what Lafayette said! Just tell me your opinion."
"Ahem, what I mean is that it is called 'Hogg', right? Perhaps it is fate that has given us a hint, asking us to personally cultivate a 'King of the Glades'.
What I mean is that we, the Torrent Knights, are willing to give this alien race a chance!"
Although Taipal did not say any valuable opinions, after he finished speaking, the other administrative players strangely reached a consensus.
They took over this task, which also made Ashina, who had been a little worried, breathe a sigh of relief.
She gave Hogg a wink, and the cunning and clever jackal immediately stepped forward, nodded and bowed and said:
"In order to control the jackals of Transia, that tyrannical man Kenport arranged all the clan chiefs of all the big and small clans in this land into his own guard. Those chiefs are the backbone of the jackals in this land, so
."
"So, you want us to rescue them?"
The Grayman asked curiously. Hogg shook his head and whispered:
"No, I want you to kill them all! The ones with leaders are the wolves. The chaotic ones can only be called dogs that run away with their tails between their legs. If Mr. Murphy wants to tame them, Scarlet Castle does not need dangerous wolves.
What you want is a group of dogs, so you have to get rid of those ‘wolf kings’!”
Chapter completed!
