Chapter 338: Two-Way Mission
Looking at the back of the girl in pink running away with her skirt, her two companions were stunned, and Sherlock hurriedly stepped forward to pull them and ran.
"Don't you think that girl is a good fit for me?"
"Don't you think that girl's clothes suit me well?"
"No, but I don't think you guys will be able to catch up with the blessing if you don't run faster."
By the time they trotted all the way into the Temple of Grace, the priest who presided over the blessing ceremony was already standing on the high platform, chanting the sacrifice loudly.
As he shifted his position in the midst of the crowd, Sherlock saw a familiar figure.
"Is she still here?" He said something in his heart, and then he looked around.
As he expected, in addition to the night, a group of small people in cloaks also mixed in behind the crowd.
The appearance of this group of people also added a touch of gloom to Sherlock's heart, such a good celebration, he didn't want to end with death and blood.
However, the main priest who presided over the blessing ceremony was at least a second-turn profession, and there were so many patrol members around, what kind of dependence did a level 30 druid on the other party dare to implement this plan.
"You guys be careful, there may be something." He whispered to the few people around him, his gaze switching back and forth between the night and the main priest on the stage.
Time passed bit by bit, and the lengthy sacrificial text was finally read in the emotional tone of the main priest, if it weren't for the buff brought by the blessing, it is estimated that the players would be tempted to quit.
Then it's time to turn on the great fountain, and if they really have any plans in the night, it's time to start it.
System Prompt: You have received the blessing of the Mother Earth goddess Celestia, and all attributes will be +8% for three days.
After three minutes, everyone on the field received the blessing, and the fountain gradually returned to its original state, and nothing unusual 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 it would pass like this, the panicked face of the night came into his eyes.
Following the other's gaze, the figures hiding under the cloak all seemed to fall to the ground, trembling violently.
A few people nearby crouched down to investigate them, only to be greeted by sharp teeth and claws.
"Ah, my hand, let go of it......"
"My arm, ah......"
The cries of NPCs and players rang out sporadically, and slowly, the small commotion gradually expanded, and finally someone noticed the anomaly.
"Look at them, they look like beasts."
"Cat people, bear people, werewolves, run......"
"Help, I don't want to be infected!"
With this shout, everyone understood what was happening, it was one of the most terrible diseases on the continent of Faeron—bestiality.
No one knows how bestiality appeared, some people say that the species has existed since the beginning of the world, and this creature is born with the bestiality virus, and all people who have had flesh and blood contact with them will be infected with bestiality, and then have a chance to become bestiality.
The physical defects of bestials and the discrimination they receive in normal society have made bestiality something that everyone avoids, and there is even a custom of using the legend of bestials to intimidate children in many places.
So at this moment, when I suddenly saw the existence of the beast man, all the villagers fled in panic, and in an instant, only the player and the NPC with a profession were left on the field.
In fact, these beast children did not have much threat ability to the people present, and the players were isolated by the patrol members of White Beach before they could make a move, including the dark night who wanted to protect these beasts.
"Sherlock, isn't this some hidden mission, is it for us to kill these beasts?" Tang Lie asked on the side.
There are not a few players who have this idea, after all, according to normal game thinking, killing and hurting beasts is the most reasonable development.
"Let's see how the NPCs react." Sherlock waved his hand to stop Tang Lie's behavior, and there were patrols and clergy from the Temple of Grace at the scene, and the attitudes of these two people could determine the next plot trend.
The captain of the patrol walked up to the main priest and said respectfully: "Kehili sacrifice, this matter will be solved by our patrol, and on such an auspicious day, we will not let a few beasts destroy it." ”
The priests of Celestia are generally of the good camp, and they have the same kindness to all living beings except for destruction and untimely death, but in White Beach, the situation is slightly different.
Because of that rumor, all the priests of the past, including Keheli, didn't like beasts very much, not to mention that the time and place of the appearance of these beasts were so coincidental, it really didn't make people think of that aspect.
"Captain Pilu, then I'm sorry for you, I hope you don't hurt their lives." Keheli gave her a command and hurried out with her priests, the most forgiving decision she could have made not to take their lives.
"Of course not!" Vilu said quite resolutely, how could he harm the lives of these beasts, this is a living cash cow.
The temple sacrifice is gone, and there are only a few free NPCs and players left on the field.
"Adventurers, we have the situation under control, and now we are going to escort these beasts back to the guard station, please let go."
Hearing Pilu's words, except for the pink-clothed girl who collided with Zhao Xiaodao at the door, the rest of the NPCs also left, but the player's side never moved his footsteps, neither stopping nor retreating.
The reason for their hesitation was due to Night's request in the public area, and she wanted the players to help her stop the patrols and rescue the trapped beasts.
Alone in the night, no matter how charming it is, it is not enough for players to offend the patrol team of White Beach for her, not to mention the second turn profession, attacking them will also be judged by the system as a malicious attack in the safe zone, and will be chased and killed by the system guards.
But if there is a task, the situation is a matter of two terms, because the task is tantamount to the acquiescence of the system.
And the next moment the words of the dark night were spoken, everyone received such an optional two-way task, whether to help the patrol escort the beasts, or to help the beasts escape.
It's not easy to choose, and on the surface, it seems like a good choice to help the patrol of the orderly camp, but there is obviously a reason why the night is so protective of the beast side.
And once the choice is made, it means that the plot may develop in a different direction, and they will only have one way to go to the dark at that time.
Of course, you can abandon the mission, but you will also lose an opportunity.
