"Mu, there is an urgent matter that needs your assistance." When Lin Mu and Lolita and the others walked out of the armory, they met Shalina, who happened to come to them.
At this time, Lin Mu had not yet recovered from the surprise of being hit by a huge amount of wealth, and even the smile on his face was full of stupidity.
"Shalina?! What happened? Seeing the sudden appearance of the forest ranger captain, Lin Mu finally came back to his senses.
"The patrol has found Hogan's tracks, and it's hard for me to catch them alone, so I need the help of a soul walker." Shalina said her purpose very directly, she believed that Lin Mu would not refuse, and with Lolita, a senior soul walker, saying some high-sounding words would make the other party laugh.
"Another defected general? Didn't he disappear after the potion was discovered? Where did you find it? After hearing the news, Lin Mu suddenly came to his senses, and he was depressed when he was a "evidence collecting dog" recently, and finally came to an interesting task.
"Patrols outside the city have found traces of people living there in an abandoned stone house, and there is a secret passage leading to the city inside the stone house, and the archmage of Sente Fort has confirmed that the traitor Hogan used to hide here." Shalina guided Lin Mu and the others to introduce the specific situation as they walked.
At this time, Lin Mu also received a prompt sound from the system.
[Solomon's Conspiracy - Centburg 6] - You have solved the hidden dangers of the potion perfectly, and at the same time, you have a strong backer and a subordinate to command, this is simply your peak moment, adventurer. Now you have a choice in front of you, whether to go after the traitorous General Hogan or not? This is likely to be a battle of perseverance and patience!
Reward:???
It's actually a quest with an unknown reward. Seeing the task prompt, Lin Mu frowned, as a former task master, he knew that such unknown rewards of the task would face a variety of choices, and each of your choices would affect the direction of the next plot, this is not like a stand-alone game, if you are not satisfied, you can read the file and start again. All the consequences after this are irreversible, so it's best to choose carefully.
Judging from the current situation in Sent Fort, whether it is from Shalina's request for help, or for the sake of the relationship between the military department and the family of souls, it is definitely necessary to choose to pursue, but the system has given a multiple-choice question, which makes Lin Mu very entangled.
Just as Lin Mu hesitated, everyone came to the stone house where it was discovered.
"You can also find out, how did that patrol do it?!" Lin Mu asked in surprise, the entrance in front of him, which could barely be called a stone house, was actually under an extremely remote giant pile of rubble, if someone didn't lead the way, no one would have been able to get here, which was several kilometers away from the normal patrol route.
Knowing that Lin Mu suspected that there was something wrong with the patrol, Shalina explained, "At that time, all the members of a ten-person team on patrol saw a shadow running in this direction, and after they tracked this huge stone pile, they lost their traces of each other, and they searched for a long time to find this entrance. ”
"This is obviously a deliberate attempt to lure us, as for doing so obviously?" Lin Mu said speechlessly, according to this routine, there must be a large number of enemies waiting for him to enter the urn in front of him.
"He's a trick, just to let us go even if we know there is an ambush. That secret passage is to tell us, if you don't come to arrest me, then I don't know how many secret passages lead to the castle, and you can only find it little by little. Shalina said helplessly.
"Can't you, there are other secret passages like this? General Balzac had built the Centro Fort so strong, and it was already surprising to me that there was such a secret passage, how could there be more? Lin Mu didn't believe it very much.
"We don't dare to bet, if it's okay in normal times, but now the beast clan may come to the city at any time, this is the other party's dependence." Shalina sighed.
It's really like this, as a person in the military department, it is impossible to let such a big loophole exist in any case, especially for Shalina, who is extremely responsible, turning a blind eye is dereliction of duty.
"Since we have no choice, let's chase it as soon as possible. Soul Walkers, plus Shalina and you, there is basically no problem with our combination to protect itself. Lin Mu quickly gave up the entanglement and made a decision.
"Go back and report the situation here to General Balzac, and be sure to check the secret passages that may exist in the fort!" Shalina gave the patrol a word to lead the way, and led the way into the depths of the dense forest beside the boulder pile.

"Kenhag, is there any news from Nechester?" A sturdy elf with a huge axe the size of a door panel on his back and heavy armor on his body asked anxiously.
"There is no news back yet, you must know that the discovery of the potion will definitely alarm the Elf King, and the family must be doing its best to deal with the royal court's inquiries at this time. However, no news is actually good news, if the Elf King has already done something to the family, we will definitely not have received no information at all, so don't worry for the time being, Hogan. Kenhag replied, completely concealing himself in a crimson full-body cloak.
"But without contact with the family, what should we do next? The plan for Centburg has completely failed, our migration plans have been hit hard, and there is not much time left! Hogan didn't mean to be relieved at all, but became even more anxious.
"His Excellency Lanlos anticipated the possible failure of the potion plan, and formulated the next countermeasures in advance, so let's just implement it."
"Lord Lanloth, he... Hearing the mention of Lanloth, Hogan's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness and the sadness of the dead fox, although when he decided to participate in this seemingly fantastical plan, he was ready to take his life at any time for this. But over the years, I have seen that what could only be called a "dream" at the beginning has gradually become an "ideal" through the efforts of countless people, and now it is only one step away from becoming a "reality". He was honored to be an elf who had been involved in the project since the beginning, and he was not willing to see years of hard work come to naught at this last moment.
"I have put your corpse in the hourglass of time, and all that remains is to pray for the mercy of fate, and hope that it will be too late." Kenhag shook his head a little lonely as he said this.
“。。。 Let's talk to her again, and when we get to this point, she should believe it. Gritting his teeth, Hogan once again brought up the failed attempts, although he knew that the probability of success was low, but at this time, he would be unwilling to let him do nothing.
“。。。。。。” Hearing Hogan's proposal, Kenhag did not speak for a long time.
