Chapter 980: Beast Clan
Elena (Shanaline) is a mobility NPC with no fixed location. Led by Red Lotus, I don't know if I'll be able to find Ina in a short time.
They don't have much time, and it's hard to carve out a path. If you want to suppress the monsters head-on, it is actually very difficult to do it with only a few hundred of them. Now there is not enough time to let the people of the guild come over to support, and it is too dangerous at night, so Nord Stream did not give an order to the people of the guild, and did not want them to rush over overnight.
If they meet some monsters on the way, Nord Stream is not looking down on the ability of the guild members, but is worried that something unexpected will happen, and they are still a little worried that they are not together.
If you can get the command and order the orcs to fight together, the survival rate after being pressed out should be improved. The combat power of the orc NPC warrior is still very strong, but it can't be against the boss.
Nord Stream: They can help players get rid of bosses in seconds. But there are too many mobs, and if they fight the boss or fight the mobs, it will be too expensive.
A few hundred people are not hundreds of thousands after all.
If the people of the mechanical age are there, Nord Stream will have nothing to fear. It's a pity that behind them, there are all orc players.
Seeing Beixi in a daze, Honglian thought that she was worried that she would not be able to find Elena, so she comforted: "Don't worry. I know where Sister Elena will be when she's okay. ”
Nord Stream came back to his senses.
Looking at Honglian's smile, I couldn't help but think of Booth. The relationship between these orc NPCs is quite complicated. But because of this, players can get benefits.
"You have a good relationship with Yelena. ”
Red Lotus smiled purely, without a hint of guard or other emotions. "Yes, Yelena is a good friend of mine. ”
Beixi walked with her on the bamboo forest path, surrounded by red fences on both sides, and the flat road led to nowhere. Nord Stream retracted his gaze, looked at her and said, "Along the way, she has also taken good care of you." ”
"Hmm. ”
"You grew up together?"
"That's right. When I was a child, Sister Elena also wanted to take care of me like this now, and she was a very gentle person. "Red Lotus does not hide her love for Elena.
Beixi showed a hesitant expression, "I heard from my orc friends..."
Honglian put her hands behind her back, turned around and looked at Beixi with a puzzled expression, she retreated, looked at Beixi while leading the way and asked, "Listen to what they said?"
"A few days ago, you were supposed to be the new prophet and then have a wedding with His Highness Rez..."
Honglian paused, her hands loosened and landed on her legs, and as her thoughts were guided by Beixi to recall, her hands gradually began to clench.
She lowered her head, her expression slightly sad. "You've heard that. ”
Nord Stream nodded. "You don't want to, do you?"
Honglian raised her head and smiled bitterly: "I don't want my future to be shackled because of an identity. And I don't like His Highness Rez at all, and he doesn't like me either. ”
"But the elders of your clan don't want to break the rules that the orcs have always had. Nord Stream took her words.
Honglian was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip. "I didn't want to obey them, so I fled. Later, when he met Barr, he heard that the teacher was sick, so he came back with him. ”
That's what happened on the road and they met Nord Stream.
"I... Don't want to marry Rez. ”
Red Lotus sighed helplessly. "This is also a very cruel thing for Sister Elena. It was because she was so gentle that I didn't want to do anything that hurt her. Do you understand?" She looked at Nord Stream with a hint of guilt and apology in her eyes. She didn't want to ruin the relationship between the two. She doesn't want to...
Nord Stream approached and patted her on the shoulder. "You don't have to feel guilty about this kind of thing. I didn't want to. What's wrong is the pedantic rules and the older generation of orc warriors in your clan. ”
"Maybe I can help you. ”
Nord Stream said nonchalantly. Withdrew his hand, walked past her, and continued on his way. "It may seem nosy to you, but I think that people who love each other should be happy together, instead of being forced to separate, and can only endure the pain of separation. ”
Ding, Red Lotus Opinion is increased by 30.
"Nord Stream. She began to call her by name, chased after her, and took her hand with anticipation in her eyes. "Are you really willing to help us?"
Nord Stream nodded, looking serious. "I'd love to help you, we're friends, aren't I?"
"Well, friend. ”
Ding, Red Lotus's opinion is increased by 50.
The corners of Nord Stream's lips are outlined in an imperceptible arc.
"I will do my best to do what I promised you. Now, can I ask a few questions? There are some things that I haven't figured out yet. If you want to keep two people together, you can't succeed by the will of one person alone. ”
"You ask. ”
Red Lotus is an NPC setting, and the mind is still quite simple. So Nord Stream was attacked after a few words. Maybe she really doesn't want to hurt Elena, and she doesn't want her feelings to be buried in the rules from now on. It's so easy and not difficult.
"Is Rez someone who would easily give up the position of patriarch?" Nord Stream doesn't quite know what kind of character Rez is. It is impossible to judge from the surface alone.
If Rez himself is unwilling to give up his rights, Nord Stream feels that it is useless to convince Elena.
Red Lotus's sudden silence made Nord Stream clear of his mind. Things are really troublesome...
It's no wonder that so many players take the task and can't complete it. Directly challenging the rules of the beast clan, with the current prestige and status, there is no way to do it.
"Rez is a great guy. ”
Honglian made such an evaluation, and her expression was a little complicated. "He's amazing. After the patriarch fell ill, Rez took over the orc clan for some time, and he managed the affairs of the clan very well, and in less than a few months, he also gathered a lot of people's hearts. After speaking, I couldn't help but sigh and feel a little sad.
Nord Stream didn't quite understand what she was sighing about.
The two walked slowly on the empty path, and Nord Stream's next question was a little sensitive, so he lowered his voice and asked: "The patriarch has many sons, why is there only one Rez and Booth now?"
Red Lotus's brows couldn't help frowning.
Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Beixi smiled, "If it's a confidential matter, then don't say it." It's really not good for me as an outsider to know. ”
Honglian's brows loosened slightly, "It's not that I can't say it." I'm just trying to figure out what to say. ”
Nord Stream did not expect this answer. Seems like something unspeakable?
"Six of the chief's sons have died, and in addition to Booth and Rez, there is also a ninth-ranked highness named [Tsko] who is still in the orc clan. The rest of the people either left the orcs or were sent to other small tribes of the orcs to be managers. ”
Except for the three living orcs of Booth, there are only four orcs left alive. Those who walked, those who were sent out, went out.
Why did six sons die?
Nord Stream looked at Red Lotus, "It feels a little weird. Why are so many orcs in misfortune?"
Honglian opened her mouth, "I don't really know. His Royal Highness died of illness, and His Second Highness and Fourth Highness died in battle. As for the other highnesses, I don't know the cause of death. But they didn't die on the same day. ”
Beixi thought, no wonder the beast clan patriarch is sick in bed now, and this son is dying one after another, and his heart can't stand it.
"Therefore, after the patriarch fell ill, the eldest position was determined to be the temporary takeover of the orc clan by Rez. If the patriarch dies of illness, then His Royal Highness Rez will be the next patriarch. ”
In fact, it is no different from the patriarch now.
Nord Stream pouted and did not say what was in his heart. That is, Rez will not let go of the right easily. In fact, as long as he lets go and everything is solved, he can be with Yelena's people.
But both fish and bear's paws want to get it.
In this case, it is naturally impossible to fulfill all four of them. It is also impossible to propose that the Red Lotus should not inherit the Prophet. The orc prophet must be inherited, and the successor can only be a person with the prophet's blood, ability, and talent.
At present, the beast clan only has red lotus.
The difficulty of becoming a prophet is so high that it is currently impossible for players to complete.
However, it is difficult to continue to move any move.
Booth...
If this person can play a role, Nord Stream doesn't have to worry about these things now.
"Who made your rules?"
"Naturally, it was the result of the elders and the patriarch's discussions. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline of the orc prophets, this rule was set hundreds of years ago. The new prophet, if he is a young girl, marries a royal family of pure blood. If it is a man, he chooses a wife in the orc tribe. ”
Therefore, the man marries the orc, and the woman has to marry the orc.
Nord Stream thought, no wonder the prophet profession does not exist in other races, and only the orc tribe exists.
"Every generation of prophets obeyed this command?"
Red Lotus was silent.
Nord Stream glanced at her, waiting for her to speak.
"I heard from Master that there was once a prophet who fell in love with a human woman. Later..."
"Later?"
"The woman died, and the Prophet rebelled against the rules. There is a civil war in the orc tribe. After that, the Prophet was strangled by the warriors of the orcs of the time. There was a time when the orc tribe did not have a prophet. Later, in order to survive, he had to need a prophet. ”
"After that, the orcs in order to prevent the appearance of the previous civil strife. It will allow the Prophet to use his lifespan to predict the next Prophet heir in advance, and then let the successor not be allowed to leave the orc tribe until he becomes an adult, until he marries the patriarch. But even then, you won't be free..."
As soon as Red Lotus said this, the sad expression on her face became even stronger. Maybe it's imagining my own life in the future.
"What if you escape?"
"I can't escape. ”
Honglian smiled bitterly, raised her hand and pulled off her sleeves, the scarlet mark on her wrist was very dazzling. "Because my whereabouts are controlled by them, they can find me wherever I flee. ”
"Can't get rid of it?"
Red Lotus shook her head. "No, this is a special seal, which is imprinted by a magic control prop, and the seal is in the hands of the Great Elder. What I can't escape is just like Master. As long as you become a prophet, you will be trapped here for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to go out again. ”
Nord Stream never knew that orc prophets were such a profession. If the player becomes a prophet, it is impossible to be trapped here all the time, bound by orcs.
Could it be that you can't become a prophet yet, just because these weird rules haven't been broken and aren't suitable for players?
"Yelena has been trying to find a way to help me. Honglian pulled down her sleeves, "I really want to help her." But I don't have any power, to be a prophet, just to be a tool. I hope to do my best to make her happy while I am still free before I become a prophet. ”
"I always thought that the Orc Prophet had a transcendent position among the orc tribe. ”
Red Lotus smiled bitterly.
"Your master prophesied that the orc tribe would be wiped out today. Wouldn't it be nice if you could survive and the chains that bound you were destroyed?"
Honglian lowered her eyes, "If we can't be together, what's the point of my life?"
Nord Stream helpless.
In a way, these NPCs are also quite hypocritical.
"What about Booth?"
Nord Stream asked lightly.
Red Lotus was stunned.
At this time, the two came to the end of the road, and the clear water of the river blocked the way. There is a red wooden bridge not far to the left.
On the opposite side, there is another grove.
Beixi retracted her gaze and looked at Honglian, she lowered her head and couldn't see her expression, Beixi should have said the point.
"Are you alright?"
Red Lotus bit her lip, "Yelena should be in a wooden house in the woods. ”
"Hmm..."
"Can you go first, I'll be there shortly. ”
Nord Stream didn't know what she was thinking.
It's probably because she mentioned someone she shouldn't mention. Nord Stream shook his head, and before he could speak, a scream suddenly came from ahead.
Beixi was stunned for a moment, and the red lotus beside him also raised his head suddenly, his expression shocked. "It's Yelena's voice!"
"There is a situation!"
Nord Stream and Red Lotus immediately crossed the wooden bridge and rushed towards the place where the screams were emanating. Twenty meters past the woods, as soon as you come out, you will see a lawn and a small wooden house.
At this time, the door was open, and Yelena's voice could still be heard. "Let go of me, let go of me. ”
Nord Stream drew his weapon and said to Red Lotus: "Wait for me here." I said I could come in, come in again. ”
Honglian grabbed Nord Stream, "I won't hold you back." If it's an orc, I might be able to help. ”
"Alright, follow me. ”
The two entered the cabin.
I saw a mess in the room, and then Elena covered her hair, and a pitch-black thing flipped its wings, and its mouth bit half of its hair, pulling hard, intending to drag the person to the ground.
"Demon... Things?how could it be?!" Red Lotus exclaimed in surprise.
The monster suddenly turned its head to look at Beixi and the two, his eyes full of excitement. Then let go of Yelena's hair, let out a weird scream, and pounced on them.
Nord Stream's one-handed gun was quickly raised, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the bloody mouth.
"Bang" penetrates directly.
The monster paused, and the next second vanished.
Spike?
When Nord Stream saw that it could fly, he thought it was a high-level boss. I didn't expect it to be an intermediate-level monster.
"Elena. Honglian hurriedly went over and hugged the woman who was trembling with fear. "It's okay, it's okay. The monster is dead, don't be afraid. ”
Beixi looked at her eyes slightly red, and she was probably holding back tears now.
"Why are there monsters here?"
