Rogert: "Shapeshifter? ”

Lily: "Hmm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 InfoIsn't your old friend Du Du pretending to be a halfling businessman? Dandrien said that he was more like a real person, like Vervaldi who lent him thousands of gold coins without blinking. ”

Rogert: "That's right. But Du Du is now hiding. Prussia may know his whereabouts. ”

Lily: "I hope so. ”

Lily left. Rogette and the players go to find the bard Prussian.

Rogette: "I'm going to rescue Dandrien. I have an idea, but I need Du Du's help, I have to find him. ”

Bard: "What's your plan?" ”

Rogette: "Our shapeshifter friend can take on the form of Mankey and order Dandrion to be transferred to Aucente so we can intercept him halfway." ”

Bard: "Wise." But how are you going to find Dudu? ”

Rogette: "You're his friend, do you know where he might be hiding?" ”

Bard: "Since he's a shapeshifter, the question is not 'where', but 'who'." In the past, if he ran into trouble, he would disappear first, and then become a different person when he appeared the next day. But this time... He hasn't come back yet. ”

Rogette: "Have you known Dudu for a long time?" ”

Bard: "I know it may sound weird, but... I'm not sure. It feels like he's been following me in various forms for a while, trying to get my attention..."

Rogert: "I can understand that you do have that kind of attraction. ”

Bard: "Thank you. I didn't notice him at first until he ventured into Dandrien. ”

Rogert: "You found out?" ”

Bard: "He's not as narcissistic as the deity." ”

Rogette: "We have to convince Dudu to show up. Do we have friends he can trust to help spread the word? ”

Bard: "I'm not sure who he's nice to. On and off stage, he spends all day with the troupe..."

Rogette: "He likes to watch mime? ”

Bard: "yes. I was surprised that he didn't come to us after the incident. He should have gone to the Fox Troupe for help..."

Rogette: "Maybe those mimes are willing to help." ”

Bard: "We only need to mention Dudu, after all, everyone in the troupe is very grateful to him. ”

Rogette: "I need to know more. How did Du Du and the mime actor meet? ”

Bard: "I'm the thread I pulled." One unveiling night, Maxson was in his closet, drunk as a dog. That's when I thought of Dudu. It's hard to imagine any actor more powerful than a shapeshifter. ”

Rogette: "Dudu just showed up in front of them?" ”

Bard: "I knew I shouldn't say it, but Dudu hit it off with the owner of the troupe, and he fell in love with theatre at once... That's how he joined me in the show. Now the troupe owner feels very guilty. She felt that they had put him in danger and could not forgive herself. ”

Rogette: "Maybe we can use a play to send a message to Dudu. Lure him out of hiding. ”

Bard: "That's a good idea, but I doubt a few lines are enough." Besides, it is impossible for Du Du to spend his time every day on those mimes that he has long memorized. We had to write a completely new play, a play that was so big that it would arouse Du Du's interest, and especially a loud title. Be sure to be the talk of the town. If you want, we can get started right away. ”

Rogette: "I'm not sure if I've written the script, maybe you should do it." ”

Bard: "With your help, I'm sure I'll be able to finish faster." Trust me, we will have a great time together. ”

Rogette: "Yes. My little brethren can help too. ”

So, the bard wrote a play, which consisted of troupe members and players.

Bard: "The gripping modern story is the best." The Story of the Parves Mercenaries, Lorenzo. Mora. It tells the story of a handsome but cruel thief... Later, a shapeshifter appears and fools him. Now that shapeshifter can only hide, and no one can help him except his demon hunter friend... And the demon hunter is busy preparing to rescue his daughter... No, saving his loved ones should be more exciting. What do you guys think? ”

The selection screen appears in front of the player again. The final vote was in favor of the script.

Rogette: "It feels okay. ”

Bard: "Really? Then use this. Well... Forget it, wait, there you have it. We can use Ward's hedgehog as a background. Secret lovers, marriage engagements, curses, cold-blooded queens, bells in the middle of the night... When the time comes, he will reveal his true colors. It turned out to be a monster who wanted to steal the princess! They tried to kill him, but were stopped by the demon hunters. And then it came to a happy end. Is that okay? Do you have anything you'd like to add? ”

Rogette: "I don't understand. ”

Bard: "Are you angry? That's the creative process, brainstorming each other and picking the best idea. ”

Rogette: "You mean your idea. ”

Bard: "You have to admit that I'm familiar with theatre. Of course, this script also needs your help to complete, and the whole work is complete enough. Dandrien will explain to you later. ”

Rogette: "We need a good title, and frankly it's even more important than the story itself. ”

Bard: "I have some ideas, maybe you can choose one of them." "The Redemption of Shapeshifters" or "Rescue the Swapper, or Demon Hunter Triumph", which one do you think is better? ”

It's time for the player to choose again. The result of the vote was "Save the Swap, or Triumph of the Demon Hunter", and only won by a narrow margin of 53%. Tang Tu didn't like this strange name.

Rogette: "I have a problem, there are no shapeshifters in this story, only princesses and hedgehogs. ”

Bard: "It's easy, let's just replace the hedgehog with a shapeshifter." The most important thing is the message: the Demon Hunter has arrived and saved the shapeshifters. Got it? ”

Well, you have big breasts, you have the final say.

Rogette: "Okay, so it's comedy? ”

Bard: "I'd like to go a more dramatic route, but if you think it's better to take it easy, I can change it." I'm going to start work after you've decided. ”

It's player choice time again. The winner is the comedy route.

Bard: "All right, you guys, I'll start writing." ”

After a while, the bard seemed to finish the script.

Rogette: "What did you write a hidden message to Dudu in it?" ”

Bard: "Hidden message? ”

Rogette: "Say 'come to the Kingfisher Tavern at dawn' or something. ”

Bard: "That's not in the style of a stage play, no." ”

Rogette: "I asked you to write the script to contact Dudu, that's what we're for... Forget it, what do you think will work? ”

"I don't know. I had intended to recognize him by his scar, or to act on the occasion. Let's worry about these issues later. Now, we take the script to the troupe owner. ”

Everyone came to the rehearsal place of the troupe. Rogette handed the script to Irena, the owner of the troupe. After some negotiation between the two, Irena agreed to perform the script.

According to Irena's arrangement, the actors of the troupe play important roles in the script, and the other supporting roles, passers-by and various backgrounds are completed by the players.

After one rehearsal, the play was staged, right in the main square. Tang Tu had the honor of playing the role of four passers-by. Half the city came to see the show.

At the end of the play, Rogette stands on stage and says, "... Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of our story. And the moral is... There is no monster like him, and his body can change at will. Don't be afraid, the ending must be that everyone will live happily ever after. ”

Under the stage, a guard with a scar on his face catches the attention of the bard, who tells Rogette. Rogette called the guard over.

Just as it was all over, a soldier from under the stands shouted, "Burn the shapeshifters!" ”

Another soldier next to him advised, "It's a comedy." You don't see that even ghouls can play princes, take it easy. ”

The audience gave a standing ovation. Everyone's curtain call. Everyone went back to the room behind the scenes. Du Du has changed back to his original form.

Du Du: "I'm still recognized by you..."

Rogette: "Hello, Dudu. It was Hawthorne's scar on your face that made us recognize you. ”

Dudu: "Do you know what's going on?" Have you seen Siri? ”

Rogert: "No. I'm still looking for her. ”

At this time, the dwarf Dzoltan came over: "Rogette, great! You guys acted so well, I haven't laughed like this in a long time. ”

Rogette nodded, and then asked Dudu, "I wonder how you and Dandrion provoked Lu Wen, Hawthorne, and the temple guards at the same time?" ”

Dudu: "We didn't mean to..."

Rogette: "Why didn't you look for a Greek or mime actor?" Have you tried to contact them? ”

Du Du: "I've been to a few shows with different appearances, but I'm afraid to show up... I'm afraid of putting them in danger. Then I heard about a new mime and thought that maybe there was a chance to get information about Siri or Dandrien. ”

Rogert: "I know Siri went to Hawthorne's territory to save you." How did you escape? ”

Dudu: "I followed her, trying to catch up with her, but I was a liability. She yelled at me, asked me to shapeshift, and then disappeared... I tried to find Siri and Dandrien, but they vanished like vapour. Fearing for my safety, I deform every day and see people with different appearances. I even considered turning into Ciri to lure her pursuers to chase me, but..."

Zoltan: "You wait a minute. Rogette, when was the last time you saw Ciri? It's been a while, right? ”

Rogette: "It's been a while. ”

Drottan: "Me too. She's supposed to be a big girl now. Dudu, do me a favor, let's see what has become of Xili. ”

Rogert: "No, no. I'm sure I'll recognize it when I see Siri. ”

Drottan: "I, uh... I just thought you'd want to watch... Rogette, you're not mad at me, are you? ”

Rogert: "No. ”

Zoltan: "Then I'll be relieved." ”

Dudu: "Have you found Dandrien?" ”

Rogert: "The witch hunters took him away, but there's good news. Mankey is dead. ”

Du Du: "Ah, that demon, someone finally slaughtered him." But the person who takes over is not necessarily better than Mankey, and it is even worse if he doesn't. ”

Drottan: "Don't jump to conclusions, he's going to be a good-hearted guy." ”

Rogert: "We think we can save Dandrien with your help." ”

Dudu: "What can I do?" ”

Rogette: "Become Manki, and then order Dandrion to be transferred to Aucent." ”

Drottan: "We'll lie in ambush in the ravine on the road. As soon as they got closer, they rescued Dandrion from the guards. ”

Du Du: "Wait, it's not that simple, is it?" How do I play Mankey? I don't know where Dandrion is being held now. ”

Rogette: "Nobody knows Mankey is dead. You don't have to worry about goofs. "Don't forget the silver wine glasses.

Dudu: "No one but you?" Does it have something to do with the fire in the witch hunter camp? ”

Rogert: "We were there. ”

Zoltan: "Hehe, it's a shame I wasn't here. ”

Rogert: "Dandrion is being held on Temple Island, you need to find out exactly where." ”

Dudu: "What if they are suspicious and ask questions?" ”

Drowtan: "I dare to vouch with my best axe that I didn't dare to trouble the leaders of the Temple Guards." What's more, you're both a shapeshifter and an actor at the same time, and you're twice as talented. If you have a problem, you just need to improvise a little. When things don't go well, you just transform into a woman with big breasts, a crow, or anything you can imagine. ”

Dudu: "It's that easy. Thank you very much. ”

Rogert: "You can do it. Everyone thought Mankey was missing, and you could make up any excuse you wanted. ”

Drottan: "I'll take someone to ambush in the valley, and Rogette will come to rendezvous." Then we'll wait for your message. ”

Dudu: "But how am I going to contact you when I become Mankey and tell you that the guards have left?" ”

Rogert: "You'll have to figure it out yourself." Please, cunning and treachery are synonymous with you. ”

Zoltan: "Everyone's clear, right?" Dudu, go to Temple Island. I'm going to find my men and wait for you to come over, Rogette. ”

Rogette: "Okay, we'll see you in the valley." ”

Dudu: "Hey, wait a minute. And then what? You're not going to want me to continue to be Mankey and burn a heretic every now and then to keep people suspicious, right? ”

Rogette: "No. We'll meet you at the Herb Inn, where we'll meet. ”

Zoltan: "And get drunk like a wild dog." No problem, right? Start. ”
