"Sherlock, you're here so early." In the pet shop, Newt, who was chatting with Lupine, saw the Druid walking in at a glance.
"I want to come here early to learn more about the situation." This is indeed one of his purposes, especially the existence of the copy scroll.
Regarding the actors of this mission, Lu Ping and the two did not mind Sherlock's participation in their discussions.
The purpose of the game of Supreme Hunting, the whereabouts of the Zhentarim, the demon elves in Cape Ask, the storm mages in Snake Valley, the haunting of the Blood Church, etc., these developments in the Supreme Forest were discussed by the three
The following are gradually connected in series.
Many things Sherlock has experienced, some he has heard of, and some he has no information about, such as the Bloody Church.
Most of the followers of the God of Hunting are evil lycanthropes, but just like the werewolves of the Supreme Forest, they don't like to leave their own group.
Because it is very dangerous for a lycanthrope to be alone outside, not to mention the ubiquitous slave-catching teams, the worldly disgust alone makes it difficult for them to integrate into normal society.
However, there is a group of extremely extreme believers who have completely abandoned the remaining goodness in Mara's teachings, indulged in the blood and excitement brought by hunting, and caused killings across the continent of Faerûn. The organization of this group of people is the Bloody Church.
.
Their members are mainly composed of various types of lycanthropes, with a small number of humans, half-orcs and barbarians. It seems that their shadows are also active in this supreme hunt.
"What a pity the storm? Lord Silverhand is busy with the conflict between Myth Drannor and Zhentil Castle. Otherwise, if we came with Lord Dove, we wouldn't have to be so busy."
This is the benefit of joining such a high-level organization. Many things in the game may be mysterious to players, but through the NPC's narration, the connections and deeper meanings behind these things will be discovered.
During the afternoon's exchange, various words such as City of Ghosts, Middle-earth, Mystra, etc. constantly impacted Sherlock's nerves.
Especially regarding Myth Drannor, the City of Singing, the two NPCs talked about the city's rise to its final decline, and had a heated discussion on many of the points.
The background information in these games is only described in a very simple way on the official website. The two Harpers present did not talk about it in detail. Sherlock could not understand it, but it did not prevent him from memorizing all these things in his mind.
There, maybe you can use it sometime.
It was not until late afternoon, when the sky gradually darkened, that Lu Ping led him towards the depths of the Supreme Forest.
The werewolf camp was not close, and they did not speed up their pace, so it was almost midnight before the two of them approached the werewolf tribe's territory.
In fact, without the presence of the NPC Lupin, Sherlock would definitely not be able to reach such a deep place in the Supreme Forest. Any level 4 or 50 monster on the road can kill him instantly, but in front of this haggard-looking ranger
, but couldn't even bear a knife.
At this time, he finally discovered Lupine's secret. This NPC turned out to be a werewolf, and his status did not seem to be low. The scouts near the werewolf territory only dared to look at him from a distance when they saw him.
However, unlike ordinary werewolves, Lupine has no werewolf characteristics at all when he is in human form. The player Logan we met last time still has a change of body hair. I don’t know if it is because of his transformation skills.
The most powerful thing is that he is born with the ability to control the transformation of his form.
Following Lupine into the tribe of lycanthropic werewolves, under the guidance of the werewolf, they walked to a huge bonfire. A disheveled human was tied to a stake next to the bonfire, surrounded by werewolves of all sizes.
.
On a high platform at the other end, a scantily clad female werewolf wearing various bone ornaments sat on a wide stool, with three strong male werewolves guarding her on both sides.
It seems that the female werewolf is the leader of the tribe, Nalono.
"Lupin, I'm so happy that we meet again." Nalono looked very happy when she saw the arrival of the two people. "Welcome to this grand game, the most noble ceremony of our lycanthrope tribe - the Supreme Hunt!"
"Nalono, you agreed to allow me to take people to participate in this supreme hunt. What happened to those copy scrolls that were circulated." Ignoring the other party's welcome, Lu Ping asked angrily.
I don't want more innocent people to be involved in this dispute.
"Lupin, it's not your turn as an outsider to interfere in the rituals of our tribe, unless you are willing to return to our big family." Nalono seemed to be used to Lupin's rudeness.
"I never belonged here."
"Are you still going to insist on being wrong after all these years, or have you not had enough of the insults of those dirty humans? Lupin, the outside world does not welcome us. No matter how hard you try, there will be no change.
." There was a hint of helplessness and resentment in Nalono's voice.
Racial discrimination and the like are all too common in a world like Faerûn. Whether it is the demon elves before or the lycanthropes in front of us, as a minority race, it can only be said that it is good that they have not been exterminated.
Especially lycanthropes, the favorites of human nobles and big businessmen are tamed lycanthrope slaves. A minor female werewolf can earn at least six figures out there.
"Lupin, don't suppress your desires anymore. You are my favorite child. Unintentionally biting you has been the luckiest thing in my life. Come back, our tribe needs a new leader."
Sherlock obviously saw the bodies of the four male werewolves around Nalono trembling when she said this. He also didn't expect that the ordinary Lupine had such a big background. Although this werewolf tribe
Not big, but still very influential in the eastern part of the High Forest.
"That year was probably the beginning of my misfortune in my life." Lu Ping seemed to recall something.
"Foolish arguments of a coward, maybe this supreme hunt can reawaken your bloody nature."
Nalono had no intention of engaging in any more verbal quarrels with Lupine. She stood up, raised her head and let out a loud wolf howl.
"Ouch——"
Then, all the werewolves around him roared.
Then, an inexplicable liquid was poured into the bonfire, and the fire suddenly increased in intensity, and the faces of everyone around him were clearly imprinted in the firelight.
At this time, Sherlock also saw a group of strangely dressed werewolves among the wolves. They were obviously players, and he knew several of them. The warlock wolf blood who had not been transformed that time, and Logan who he had worked with were among them.
.
And as the only non-werewolf, he was naturally discovered by the other party.
