Chapter 882 Hidden Mission
Game time AM00:52
Outskirts of the Golden City, in the center of the kobold settlement, the patriarch’s house
“So. What did you do in the end because of that thing? The password was given too many times and everyone was teleported out of that terrible place?"
The extremely round kobold matriarch picked up a handkerchief and put it on her face, blowing it hard. Nose, her eyes were red as she looked at the entire Wangwang Adventurer Team/Beautiful Girl Mercenary Group headed by Mo Tan in front of her. Her voice was as trembling as the chubby hand on her nephew's head: "Then like this Back. Back. Back?”
Everyone smiled and nodded. They all still remembered the voice of the Carion matriarch who screamed with joy when she saw her nephew come back safely ten minutes ago. They also witnessed this apparently ordinary walking man with their own eyes. The woman, who was three minutes slower than the others and whose body looked very similar to a gas tank, rushed out of the house like a hurricane, hugging Hogg tightly and sobbing.
The woman whose physical fitness can only be said to be average, with a little more fat at best, almost had an afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, she hugged her nephew, who she had thought was separated from heaven and earth. In his arms, no one would doubt that at that moment, this fat kobold matriarch was definitely the happiest person in the world.
Although they are not mother and son, this aunt's love for her nephew is indeed real, without any impurities, and 100% maternal love.
Not to mention whether she is a qualified clan leader, but even Kasena, who has the biggest objection to kobolds among the people, cannot deny that Carion Blackpipe is a great woman.
At this moment, she has successfully regained her composure, and she has truly become a patriarch who is so qualified that she is almost inhumane.
"Am I dreaming?"
She breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the boy who was standing beside her obediently: "You are really back, brat."
The latter is a calm, precocious and intelligent kobold boy, but a boy is still a boy after all. Faced with a girl he will almost never see again, the girl who has always been dependent on him all these years Mom, Hogg, who was trying hard to maintain his image in public, finally choked up and nodded: "I'm back, aunt, I'm really back. Uh-huh!!"
"Turn 560 degrees in the air , no splashes."
Lucie nodded slightly and turned her appreciative gaze to Hogg, who was slapped to death. "I give it nine points."
Christina, who was frightened by Carion's slap just now, shrank her neck and whispered in Lucie's ear: "But Xiaoxi, there won't be any splash in this place, right?"
The latter frowned and snorted willfully: "Then I will give you nine points."
"Oh, just give it if you are willing."
Christina He smiled bitterly, knowing that there was nothing he could do about his friend who had a somewhat strange personality.
Others did not directly rate the kobold boy who was whipped into the air like Lucie did, but they did not say anything. After all, this was a family matter. As long as Carion did not take out the knife, It is not convenient to intervene in such a severe beating of Mo Tan and others. After all, this incident is indeed too dangerous for Hog Heipi. Being able to come back safely is simply a miracle among miracles. He should suffer a little. of.
"You're back! Did you know you were coming back?"
A few minutes ago, Carion, who was crying with joy while hugging her nephew, was not afraid of outsiders' jokes at all. She picked up the child and put it on her lap. Just a fat beating , although objectively she is just a kobold woman with an ordinary physique, Hogg, a teenage kid, is not as good as an ordinary woman like Carion. She was immediately beaten up and screamed, and she was identified more than twenty times. The mistake was let go.
Of course, part of the reason is that the hand of the patriarch is really a little painful.
“Go back to your room and reflect!”
After the first period of corporal punishment, Carrie Ang let out a vicious breath and raised her finger to point to the hanging door not far behind her. Hogg's room], he glared at his eldest nephew fiercely.
"No, aunt"
Hogg, who had been sleeping on his stomach for the past two days, covered his buttocks and nodded, then turned pitifully and bowed to Mo Tan and others: " Thank you, Brother Mo, and everyone for saving me. I will definitely find an opportunity to repay everyone."
Mo Tan smiled: "Be good and try not to make your aunt angry."
Kasena, who had a good impression of the child, cracked the joints a few times and said fiercely with a dark face: "If you don't obey again, I will deal with you for your aunt."
" Even if you have to sleep on your stomach, don’t put pressure on your heart, otherwise you will have nightmares.”
Lucie inexplicably gave Hog science knowledge and said seriously: "I recommend sleeping on your left side."
Ya grinned innocently and said: "I want to repay Wang. , you can help us eat!”
“Even if you want to go out to play, you should find a friend with a good sense of direction.”
Ji Xiaoge told him seriously, and then glanced at someone who was struggling in a strange environment. A look at someone acting alone.
Others also said some unscrupulous things to Hogg. On the one hand, this kid is indeed very lovable, but on the other hand, he has been spanked countless times by the kobolds in this settlement. Behind the face, Hogg, a relatively sensible and polite child, suddenly became countless times cuter in the eyes of everyone. Not to mention anything else, at least he knew how to call you big brother or big sister instead of just ignoring you while cursing. Deliberately swearing loudly.
All in all, a few minutes later, the Hogg boy, who had greeted everyone individually, limped into the bedroom and began to think about his mistakes behind closed doors for who knows how many days.
The matriarch, who was so angry just now, happily moved back a few steps, sat back on her 'armchair', which to ordinary kobolds was infinitely close to a double sofa, and chuckled. Said: "Let everyone laugh. Hogg is a good boy. This accident is not so much his fault as it is that I usually control him too harshly, which makes this child become so wild. In the final analysis, it is still I have more responsibilities."
Mika Youk whistled and said with a dry smile: "That's what you said, but you almost opened up the kid's ass just now."
"Haha, there is no way. On the one hand, I have to make that kid realize the seriousness of the problem. After all, not every time there is an accident, you can meet kind-hearted outsiders like you to help."
Carion patted her belly twice and winked slyly: "On the other hand, you are Hogg's savior after all. If I refuse your request in front of that child, I will feel a little bit in my heart. Uncomfortable.”
Kasena hugged her arms and snorted heavily, curled her lips and said: "You really still don't want to lend us that thing?"
"That's right, I can't give it to you."< br>
Carion pointed to the necklace around her neck and said in a deep voice: "Body As Hoge's aunt, I personally thank you very much. As the patriarch of these hundreds of people in this settlement, I also want to believe that you have no malicious intentions, but the mission is the mission. I can treat you as honored guests and I can tell everyone You guys are trustworthy. I have saved up my money for many years. The dowry is used as a reward to thank you for rescuing Hogg, and I will even allow you to purchase the ore we dug out at the lowest price."
Dabbs sighed and said the second half of the sentence for Carion: "But you won't give us the 'key', right?"
"Yes." Galion nodded without thinking and waved her hand: "Everything else is easy to say, except for this 'key stone' that cannot be discussed. I cannot let the family pass on from generation to generation. Cut it off on myself, I can’t bear this responsibility.”
“But you have impulsively handed over the keystone to us before.”
Ji Xiaoge flapped his wings a little uncontrollably, wanting to fight for it again. one time.
But Jia Liang grinned: "You also said, beautiful little orc girl, I was 'impulsive' before. After all, I was completely panicked because of Hogg's disappearance. I was very unhappy. You, who are sensible, but kind and noble, and this little knight did not take advantage of others' danger. Not only did they not take the opportunity to steal the key stone, they even helped me find my nephew with my companions."
"But."
"'We can't just sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing.' Did you two say it yourself?"
"Uh"
"Did I promise you anything in exchange? "
"This"
"No, I even told you clearly that even if you can retrieve Hogg, I will not violate the ancestral teachings and hand over the key stone. You guys, right?”
Carion's words were full of malice, but there was still a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her eyes. Obviously, her person was not as bad as her words, but she had to do this for some reason. Due to the behavior of the white-eyed wolf.
Of course, having said that, it is still a fight and a fight. After all, they did not promise Mo Tan to give them the key stone as long as they could rescue their nephew. Instead, they emphasized that they would not Such a thing as violating the ancestral precepts.
"I hope you will give things to the dogs."
Yaya shook his ears, squatted on the ground and licked the back of his hand, and said vaguely: "You guys must work hard. Return the whole dog to the dog, but if the dog refuses to give it to the dog, the dog can give the dog the dog, and it can also change the dog's appearance."
Carion suddenly becomes a tiger! Shocked: "What did you say?"
"She said that she hopes you will lend us the keystone, and we will try our best to return it to you intact."
Jadka, who is the most proficient in parsing babbling, immediately began to translate subconsciously , shrugged and said: "If you don't want to give it to us anyway, she can snatch it away by herself and beat you even fatter than you are now. "
Carion's face turned dark at that time, and she said angrily: "Old gentleman, are you a little too rude!"
Jadeka looked innocent: "I'm just helping to translate. I'm just a mage. How can I fight? Do you think so, Mo?"
"No."
Mo Tan, who didn't want to be punished by God for such a stupid thing, shook his head without hesitation and sold Jadeka, who claimed to be incapable of fighting.
The old mage suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning.
"Haha, you can say whatever you want."
Carion was not annoyed at all, and even grinned: "But in my opinion, you are all very nice. A good person, even if he can easily steal my keystone, he won't do it easily."
Yaya bared his teeth in dissatisfaction, and was about to prove that he was the one. The type who likes to take action easily was held down by Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, one on the left and the other on the right. Even Christina from the Beautiful Girl Mercenary Group stood in front of Ya Ya under the instruction of Kasena. .
There are two reasons.
First of all, although Yaya, as an NPC, is not clear about it, the players' mission logs clearly state that the keys must be obtained 'through peaceful means', so let's not talk about emotions. Can you accept it? Even if we are all evil-doers without blood or tears, we still have to consider whether we should pass the The possibility of obtaining mission items through "violent means" will cause adverse consequences, so this account must be settled anyway. In view of the missions, items, skills and so on in this game, although there will be a lot of nonsense in [Remarks] , but except for [Remarks], the opposite is true. Useless content rarely appears.
So unless it is a last resort, normal players will never consider using violence. Even if it is a last resort, many people would rather give up the mission than violate it.
Because it has been spread on the forum a long time ago, as long as it is against your own tasks, such as killing the target you need to protect, releasing NPC pigeons at the appointed time, etc., Basically it won't end well.
The second reason, which is the most important reason, is also related to the mission!
That was the mission that several players got after leaving the ruins that were most likely underground -
[Off-duty]
Task Level: Hidden Epic
Task Difficulty : High
Requirements to receive: [Black Leather] Family reputation > Respect, master the keywords 'Administrator', 'Keystone'
Mission goal: Remove [Heipi] from his position as health administrator of Family No. 7 Library.
Stage goal: Enter the Sun Dynasty No. 7 Archives while holding the [Key Stone] (0/1)
Stage reward: 100 optional experience
Mission reward:? ? ?
[Note: Such a long service time can even make Abel Linken angry enough to survive. 】
Obviously, even if you just study it literally, as long as a thoughtful person who knows the ins and outs of the matter can deduce a quite obvious conclusion from this hidden mission
For countless years, the Black Skin lineage has only been too far away from the settlement. He will die suddenly and inexplicably, and the 'curse' of disappearing as soon as he leaves the village is very likely to disappear after he is relieved of his position as the 'sanitary administrator'!
In other words, as long as they get the key from Carion, not only can they complete the large-scale regional mission of the Archaeologists Association, but this small village that has always been isolated from the world is also very likely to be liberated!
The premise is that they can convince the stubborn Carion Blackskin.
So, did they succeed?
No, they failed~
