Three hundred and thirtieth eight chapters two-way task
Seeing the girl in pink running away with her skirt in hand, his two companions froze in place. Sherlock quickly stepped forward to grab them and start running.
"Don't you think that girl is perfect for me?"
"Don't you think the clothes on that girl suit me very well?"
"None of them, but I think if you don't run quickly, you won't be able to catch the blessing."
When a group of them trotted all the way into the Temple of Grace, the priest who presided over the blessing ceremony was already standing on the high platform and was singing the sacrificial inscriptions loudly.
While constantly changing positions in the crowded crowd, Sherlock saw a familiar figure.
"Is she still here?" He said in his heart, and then started to look around.
As he expected, in addition to the darkness, a group of cloaked villains also mingled behind the crowd.
The appearance of this group of people also made Sherlock feel a little more gloomy. He didn't want such a wonderful celebration to end with death and blood.
However, the chief priest who presided over the blessing ceremony was at least a second-level professional, and there were so many patrol members around him. What kind of support did the opponent, a mere level 30 druid, have to dare to implement this plan?
"Be careful later, something may happen." He whispered to the people around him, his eyes switching back and forth between the dark night and the chief priest on the stage.
Time passed bit by bit, and the long sacrificial text was finally finished in the emotional tone of the chief priest. If it weren't for the BUFF brought by the blessing, it is estimated that the players would not be able to help but leave.
Next, it was time to turn on the huge fountain. If they really had any plans in the dark night, they should have started.
System prompt: You have received the blessing of the Mother Earth Goddess Chantiya, and all attributes will be 8% within three days.
Three minutes later, everyone on the field received the blessing, the fountain gradually returned to its original state, and nothing abnormal happened.
"It seems that the other party has given up on this plan." Sherlock sighed, but his mood was slightly complicated.
And just when he thought the matter would pass like this, Heiye's panicked face came into his eyes.
Following the other party's gaze, it seemed that all the figures hiding under the cloaks had fallen to the ground and were shaking violently.
Several people nearby knelt down to investigate their situation, but what greeted them were sharp teeth and claws.
"Ah, my hand, please let go..."
"My arm, ah..."
NPCs and players cried and howled sporadically. Slowly, the small-scale commotion gradually expanded, and finally someone discovered the abnormality.
"Look at their appearance, they are lycanthropes."
"Catman, bearman, werewolf, run quickly..."
"Help, I don't want to be infected!"
With these shouts, everyone understood what was happening. It was one of the most terrifying diseases on Faerûn - lycanthropy.
No one knows how lycanthropes appeared. Some people say that they are species that have existed since the creation of the world, and that these creatures are born with lycanthropy viruses. All people who have had flesh-to-blood contact with them will be infected with lycanthropy.
disease, and may become a lycanthrope.
The physical defects of lycanthropes and the discrimination they receive in normal society have made lycanthropy something that everyone avoids. In many places, there is even a custom of using the legend of lycanthropes to scare children.
So when they suddenly saw the existence of the lycanthrope, all the villagers panicked and fled. In an instant, only the players and professional NPCs were left on the field.
In fact, these lycanthropic children did not pose much of a threat to the people present. The players were isolated by the patrol members of Baitan before they could take action, including the black night who wanted to protect these lycanthropes.
Trapped inside.
"Sherlock, is this a hidden mission? Does it want us to kill these beast-turned-people?" Tang Lie asked from the side.
There are definitely a few players who have this idea. After all, according to normal game thinking, killing the beastman who hurts people is the most reasonable development.
"Let's see what the NPC's reaction is." Sherlock waved his hand to stop Tang Lie's behavior. There were also patrols and clergy from the Temple of Grace at the scene. The attitude of these two parties can determine the next trend of the plot.
The captain of the patrol team walked up to the main priest and said respectfully: "Xili Sacrifice, let our patrol team handle this matter. Don't let a few lycanthropes ruin such an auspicious day."
The priests of Changdea are generally of the good camp. Except for destruction and untimely death, they have the same goodwill towards all living things, but in White Beach, this situation is slightly different.
Because of that rumor, all the priests in the past, including Xili, didn't like lycanthropes. What's more, the time and place where these lycanthropes appeared were so coincidental that it really made people think of that aspect.
"Captain Pilu, I'm sorry to trouble you. I hope you won't hurt their lives." Kexili ordered and hurried out with her priests. Not taking their lives was the most lenient thing she could do.
It’s decided.
"Of course not!" Pilu said very firmly, how could he harm the lives of these beast-turned-human beings? These are living cash cows.
The temple priests have left, leaving only a few free NPCs and players on the field.
"Dear adventurers, we have the situation under control. Next we have to escort these lycanthropes back to the guard station. Please give way."
After hearing Pilu's words, except for the girl in pink who collided with Zhao Xiaodao at the door, all the other NPCs also left. However, the players never moved, neither stopped nor backed down.
The reason why they were so hesitant was because of Night's request in the public area. She hoped that the players could help her stop these patrol members and rescue the trapped lycanthropes.
Heiye alone, no matter how charming she is, is not enough to make the players offend the patrol team of Baitan because of her. Not to mention that they are all second-level professions, attacking them will be judged by the system as a malicious attack in the safe zone, and they will be punished.
The pursuit of system guards.
But if a task appears, the situation will be different, because the task is equivalent to the system's acquiescence.
And the next moment Heiye said those words, everyone received a two-way task that they could choose between helping the patrol escort the lycanthrope, or helping the lycanthrope escape.
This is not an easy choice. On the surface, helping the patrols of the lawful camp seems to be a good choice, but there is obviously a reason why Dark Night is so protective of the lycanthropes.
And once a choice is made, it means that the plot may develop in different directions, and they will only have one way to go.
Of course you can also give up the task, but you will also lose an opportunity.
