Chapter 268: Choice
With the letter Aderian sending her, Nightlight went to the Wizards' Guild to find Langton to answer the mission. Langton rewarded her with experience, saying that she needed to look through them carefully and verify the authenticity of the clues, and sent her away.
For the next three days, Langton didn't contact her again, and asked Hanguang and Sonorous Rose at night, and learned that they encountered the same situation after submitting the task, so they didn't care much, and took out a part of their spare time every day as usual, and went online with Hanguang to kill monsters and do tasks, collect strategic materials, and occasionally the interest came, and also followed the team of the temple for the next two copies, although she was online for a short time, but the leveling efficiency was very high, so she still firmly occupied the top of the level rankings, leaving other players in the dust.
In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday, and on this day, after the night went online, she finally received a notice from Langton, asking her to arrive at the conference room in the city hall on time at ten o'clock in the morning.
This meeting place made the night feel a little surprised, but after learning that Hanguang also received the same notice, she vaguely guessed the reason, when the time came, she and Hanguang rushed to the city hall together, but before she pushed open the door of the conference room, she heard a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping inside, and I didn't know that I thought I was at the vegetable market!
As expected, the presidents of the various professional associations should have gathered here to discuss things, but what is the reason for such a quarrel, it is not so that everyone disagrees and makes a fuss to the point of making a move, right?
Night and Cold Light glanced at each other, and they both felt a little funny, knocked lightly on the door and walked in, seeing about a dozen NPCs gathered in the conference room. Among them were the presidents of the various professional associations, who were divided into two factions, standing at opposite ends of the table. They are slapping each other's tables and staring at each other.
"It's not too much to deal with the undead!"
"But your calculations of a hero who once saved the world of Aysrion make people feel cold. ”
"Killing Ambrose was a decision for all of us, and you have no objection to investigating the cause of his fall in order to find out his weaknesses, so what's the point of talking about salvation and his heroic past now?"
"Kill him to be above board. Finding out his weaknesses does not mean that you have to use despicable means to calculate him. ”
"You guys, you're contradicting yourself!"
"You're just going to do whatever it takes!"
……
The content of these NPC quarrels is all related to quests. After listening to it for a while, the night understood the reason, it turned out that those NPCs led by Langton, the president of the Wizards Association, were in favor of using extraordinary means in extraordinary times. Wanted to use Caroline to design Ambrose. And the NPCs led by Nati Yavida, the head of the Priest Association, expressed their resolute opposition to this, the number of people on both sides was equal, and the reasons for holding on were very sufficient, so they didn't come up with a reason for arguing for a long time, and finally formed the current situation of confrontation and stalemate.
"Knock knock—"
At this time, someone knocked on the door three more times, but the NPCs were busy arguing, and no one heard them. It was still at night that he opened the door and showed the surprise to the person who came in directly.
"Hey. I guessed that I would see you here, and I guessed right!"
"As you can see, there is a quarrel. Hanguang leaned against the wall and smiled lazily: "I hope they can't make a difference and find us to help, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to turn against each other." ”
"Defection?" The nine-fold drunken goose didn't react to the meaning of Hanguang's words for a while, and was stunned and wanted to ask why, but fortunately, before he could ask, he saw that the eyes that glanced at him in the night were a little wrong, and there was a slight warning in the indifference, so he quickly swallowed his saliva and swallowed the doubts in his heart.
However, not asking or not asking, it did not prevent him from thinking about the answer by himself, not to mention that the answer was still obvious, close at hand! He looked at the cold light, then at those NPCs, and finally turned back and secretly glanced at the night, and suddenly realized, but the expression on his face was tense and he didn't dare to show it.
Ninefold Drunken Goose's face was obviously stiff, but it made the night smile helplessly, in fact, Hanguang was not right, she didn't agree with Langton's idea at all, so in the end, who would turn against and help who was not certain!
What happened next proved that Nightlight still underestimated the openness of the game.
When the Sonorous Rose arrived, the squabbling NPCs finally quieted down and turned their attention to them.
"Since we can't argue, let's ask these little guys what they mean, after all, they are the ones who will kill Ambrose in the end, and I think they should have the right to choose how to fight. Natya Vida, the head of the Priests' Association, has an extremely cheerful personality, and as soon as she raised her chin, she was the first to say this, but her sentence of "little guys" really turned them over in the night, because although she didn't know the age setting of this NPC, she had a bright appearance, only fine lines were seen at the corners of her eyes, and she looked like she was in her thirties.
After listening to Natia Vida's words, for a while, the other NPCs were silent, all pondering the feasibility of her construction, and after a while, those NPCs who were originally in line with her position nodded in agreement.
"What do you think? Seeing that Langton didn't say anything, Natia Vida simply asked him directly.
Langton couldn't stay silent any longer, and after exchanging opinions with several NPCs next to him, he nodded in agreement.
"So let me explain the specific situation now. Natia Vida smiled slightly, held the staff and walked gracefully in front of the night and the others, and said loudly: "You have completed an investigation mission before, and the clues you found prove that the reason for Ambrose's fall is that he wants to resurrect his daughter Caroline with necromantic magic, so it is obvious that Caroline is his biggest weakness, so we have a disagreement on how to treat Caroline." ”
"Lord Langton—" Natia Vida mentioned Langton, and made an introductory gesture with her palm upward, before continuing: "He thinks that Caroline, who has been resurrected by necromancy, is actually no longer a human, but an undead, and there is no need to be merciful to the undead, so you can take Caroline hostage to force Ambrose to comply, or simply destroy Miè Caroline, and then pretend to be her to approach Ambrose, and take the opportunity to set a ban on Ambrose, so as to achieve the goal of cutting off his power and finally killing him." ”
"May I ask?" said Sonorous Rose, who was anxious, and couldn't help but interject when she heard this, "What are we going to do to successfully pretend to be Caroline? ”
"You don't have to worry about knowing this, Lord Langton has his own way, and before that you need to listen to what I have to say, and then make the choice you think is reasonable. Natyavida smiled politely at the sonorous rose and asked, "Now may I go on?"
Sonorous Rose touched the ash of her nose, but who let these are boss-level NPCs in front of her? She couldn't afford to offend any of them, so she didn't say anything and nodded.
"Good. Natia Vida thanked the sonorous rose with her eyes, and continued: "Your Excellency Langton's idea is supported by some of us, but I and others feel that this is not only detrimental to our own dignity, but also sorry for Ambrose, the hero who has made great contributions to the world of Ethrien! We think he should have a decent death, and if we want to kill him, we will kill him with dignity, and pierce the sharpened tip of the knife into his chest, instead of attacking him behind his back and using some ghostly tricks...... ”
"With all due respect. Langton felt that Natia Vida's words were too incendiary, and couldn't help but interrupt her: "You have already said just now, Ambrose is just a former hero, not a current hero! ”
"That's because the person who was sacrificed was not you. Natyavida's words sharpened again.
Langton did not flinch and responded positively: "If sacrificing me can prevent the seal from collapsing, it is my honor, and I will die calmly!"
The two NPCs were talking and confronting each other again.
The Ninefold Drunken Goose took this opportunity to come to the side of the night and the cold light, and quietly asked them, "What are you going to choose?"
Hanguang smiled lazily, and directly threw the question to the night, he said: "I don't have any ideas, I listen to my wife, and I will choose whatever my wife says." ”
"......" Although the night has already made a decision, it is simply impossible to answer his words.
Sonorous Rose also twitched the corners of her mouth, and looked at Hanguang, a thick-skinned and undisciplined guy who likes to show affection all the time.
"If we continue to quarrel, nothing will come of it, so let them choose. This time, Natya Vida quickly came back to her senses in the dispute and threw the question to Nightlight and the others.
Langton stroked his beard and said nothing, acquiescing to her mention.
The conference room suddenly fell silent, and all the NPCs turned their eyes to the night and the others.
Among the four of them, Hanguang had already decided not to make up their minds, while Sonorous Rose and Ninefold Drunken Goose couldn't make up their minds, so in the end, they all looked at the night, waiting for her to make a decision.
