Chapter 124: The Choice to Rewrite the Plot
Mu Yun thought that his just right sentence of "for the sake of order" had succeeded in currying favor with Rococo, but in fact, Rococo was not as pleased and laughed as he thought...... Obviously, when facing her in player mode, this person looked like she was dragging "my life is up to me", but when facing himself in NPC mode, this reborn person was as docile as a sheep in the blink of an eye, and this kind of fine performance made Rococo finally unable to hold back.
Mu Yun naturally didn't know what the mysterious fairy girl with a mask in front of him was thinking, seeing that he seemed to have pleased this mysterious NPC powerhouse, Mu Yun felt that this was obviously a good opportunity for clichΓ©s. In Mu Yun's memory, there was not a hundred-level fairy girl character in the Holy City event in the previous life, but since the game progress in this life has been significantly shifted as early as the main plot of Bekaz's attack on Lancarros, it seems not surprising that there will be strange characters who have not appeared in the previous life in the Holy City event.
Even if he thought about it along this line, Mu Yun was faintly happy that he could see the fairy girl in front of him. The development of the Holy City events in this life has completely deviated from the development trajectory that Mu Yun knows, and at this time, a powerful hundred-level NPC with a deep background that has not appeared in a previous life has appeared in the center of the event.
Mu Yun's sense of smell as a reborn person is indeed sharp enough, except for Rococo's true identity, his guess is indeed not wrong at all, and even from the perspective of the ability to influence the plot, Rococo is not an "important character" at all, but in addition to Bekaz, the mastermind behind the scenes, the only two "most important characters" who can lead the plot of the Holy City events.
"Honorable goblins...... My lord. β
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Yun finally chose to use the word "adult" to call Rococo, although Rococo seems to be just a young girl, but after all, she has a hundred-level strength, and before establishing a closer relationship, she rashly called each other "Miss Fairy", Mu Yun was worried that it would be considered an irreverent or frivolous move.
"Actually, I should be here to thank you, although I have the blessing of the great imperial king, but if you hadn't made a move just now, I'm afraid it would still be difficult for me to survive under Bekaz's men just now," Mu Yun continued to compliment Rococo, and then immediately changed his words, "Ah, please forgive me for being rude, I don't know if you are from the holy city of Arya Val?" β
Hearing Mu Yun ask, Rococo suddenly had a bottom in his heart, this reborn person really did not disappoint himself, he wanted to get special plot clues from her, which was very good, so as to save her the trouble of taking the initiative to guide this victim with excessive paranoia to change his thinking circuit.
"No, although I also believe in Order and Goddess Arya, I am not a member of the Cult of the Goddess of Creation, in fact, I was only invited by the Guide, Mr. Oranado, to come to the Holy City to help the Cult of Creators through this crisis."
Rococo was secretly happy with the current situation in his heart, but he put away the previous smile on his face, showing the friendly and arrogant temperament of most level 100 NPCs when facing adventurers.
"Mr. Orlanardo told me all about the incident, that Bekaz, a plague mage from the Southern Continent, has betrayed the Goddess and Order faith, and he wants to spread his sins to the holy city of Arya Val. If this were the case, the Cult of the Goddess of Creation would not be afraid of this villain who disrespected the goddess, but Mr. Oranado found that Bekaz was afraid of accepting the Cult of Creation's request for help from the Free Federation and the Radiant Empire, and he had set a very insidious trap on the mainland border, and he wanted to rekindle the war between the Federation and the Empire that had just subsided a few years ago in the border area of the continent, so that both sides would have no time to support the Holy City. Use the remains of warriors killed in the war between the two powers to expand his army of the dead.
"I have been commissioned by Mr. Orlanardo not to protect the Holy City, but to find Bekaz to stop the despicable plot to sabotage him...... Brave adventurer, you seem to be from the Radiant Empire, can you help me convey advice to the Empire's border armies not to be provoked by Bekaz? β
After hearing Rococo's words, Mu Yun suddenly showed a somewhat dumbfounded expression, he didn't expect that the truth of the incident coming out of the mouth of this fairy girl was actually like this. Didn't you say that the Federation army and the plague mage teamed up to kill the Imperial Frontier Army? How did it end up being a conspiracy of the plague mage alone? So the Free Federation is actually an innocent white lotus?
"Uh...... My lord, I don't understand what you mean? β
"On my way here, I once met a troop of troops from the Free Federation, who were commissioned by the Holy City to pin down some of the undead strongholds on the outskirts of the Holy City before the main reinforcements of the Federation arrived. Now, on the very occasional occasion, they have discovered a nascent undead stronghold in your borderlands, and because the discovery of the stronghold was so coincidental that they suspected that it might be a conspiracy by Bekaz, they sent messengers to nearby Imperial fortresses to inform the Imperial Frontier of the situation. β
Naturally, this is not the case, if it wasn't for Rococo's timely dissuasion, the federal army would have directly leveled that village at that time, instead of thinking about sending a message to the god of war first. But anyway, it is impossible for Mu Yun to know the truth, so Rococo is also the identity of the mysterious fairy girl NPC, and he uses half-truths and half-truths to fool Mu Yun with a serious face.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Mu Yun obviously remembered the Federation player girl named Rococo who was stopped by him before, and thought that the other party had been trying to explain to him, but he only thought that it was a lie that the other party used to make him relax, Mu Yun's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
"I heard from that army about what happened, but because Bekaz was so cunning, I was worried that the Federation adventurer who was the messenger might be ambushed by Bekaz halfway through, so I chased after him, but I happened to run into you and Bekaz. I don't know what happened to the Couriers of the Federation Army, but since Bekaz did appear here, it means that the plagued village is really a conspiracy designed by Bekaz, so I am worried that Bekaz will set up other conspiracies and tricks with the Imperial Border Army to provoke the Imperial Army to make them unable to trust the Couriers sent by the Federation...... Adventurer, I still have to go and pursue Bekaz and force him to have no time to continue such a conspiracy, can you pass on my advice to the Imperial Frontier Army on my behalf? β
This time, while throwing the question, Rococo finally edited the custom task in his NPC system and sent it to Muyun.
Mu Yun, who saw the task prompt in his game interface, did not immediately click to confirm, and with the last trace of unwillingness, Mu Yun spoke.
ββ¦β¦ But don't you doubt that this is indeed a conspiracy by the Federal Army and Bekaz to trap the Imperial Frontier Army? β
The brow under the Rococo mask furrowed.
"Do you have proof?"
Mu Yun was speechless, he couldn't say that the plot of the game in his previous life was like this, as for the communication with Rococo after the appearance of Bekaz he saw before...... Well, he had to admit that aside from his preconceived position, Rococo really didn't say a word at that time, it was all Bekaz who was talking, and even Bekaz's last teleportation was like driving people away, there were too many suspicious places.
In fact, having said this, Mu Yun already faintly believed Rococo's words in his heart, but from his personal feelings, he was still unwilling to accept this fact.
It's not because he craves war, but because all the preparations he has made in the game during this time have all erupted with the Great Incident in the Holy City, and the empire will be threatened by a federal conspiracy...... This kind of development is a major premise, but now Rococo tells him that things are not what he imagined, in fact, the national war is very likely to not be fought, and the Federation, which has always been his first imaginary enemy, is actually wronged...... This was a bit of a frustration for him.
It wasn't that he didn't suspect Rococo, but he soon discovered that the mysterious fairy girl had no motive or reason to lie to him. The mysterious elves take a similar stance in the game to the elves, remaining neutral and resisting war except in the face of Chaos, and the possibility that the elven girl will unite with the Federation to deceive their Radiant Empire is almost non-existent.
And being able to call the guide Orlanardo "sir" instead of "adult" so naturally shows that this mysterious fairy girl powerhouse is in the upper echelons of the order camp, and in terms of status, Orlanardo and the guide are at least not far behind. The high-level bosses of the order camp are generally disgusted with the internal war within the order camp, which is not a secret to Mu Yun, who has experienced the main plot of the order camp's counterattack on the Northern Continent in the late game of his previous life before being reborn, this fairy girl powerhouse was entrusted by Orlanardo to prevent the Federation and the Empire from having an unexpected national war because of Bekaz's conspiracy, which is completely logical and reasonable.
Thinking of this, Mu Yun's mood suddenly became complicated, he originally thought that as a reborn person, he should be the person who knew the most inside stories in the game of this life, at least in the early stage of the game, but now he suddenly found that at least he didn't seem to know as much about this holy city event that had happened once in his previous life. According to Rococo, there was no collusion between the Federation and Bekaz at all, and even the Federation and the Empire were victims of Beckaz's conspiracy and calculations...... But how can that explain the incident in the previous life that shocked the empire of the federal army "united" with the undead to kill the imperial border army? What's hidden in that he doesn't know yet?
In any case, now it is Mu Yun's turn to make a choice, originally Mu Yun hoped to help the empire avoid the conspiracy from the side of the Federation, but now Mu Yun suddenly found that if he really prevented the imperial army from throwing into the trap set by Bekaz, coupled with the strong intervention of the mysterious fairy girl in front of him, it is very likely that in the game of this world, the national war plot after the Holy City incident will not happen again at all.
If...... If he changes his mind and pretends to agree to Rococo, and then deliberately assists Bekaz in his conspiracy, and finds a way to make the Imperial border army step on Bekaz's trap, will the war between the Empire and the Federation still unstoppable?
β¦β¦ Ha, that's a ...... It's crazy.
