Chapter 172 Conflict of Interest
[The helmsman adds a change, which is the third helmsman to make a copy of the salt-free one]

"Go to the royal city to complete the second stage of that side quest?" Chen Tao asked Zhang Haolin's opinion: "The third stage of liberating human beings is not to be considered, and I feel that the second stage is still possible, but I don't know where the human beings are outside the wall?" β
Zhang Haolin replied without hesitation: "This is the main line of the other team, so naturally they will worry about it, but we need to go to Grisha Yeager to get the key to their basement and mix up that side quest." β
"Hmm."
"Wait-" Zhang Haolin suddenly remembered something: "Grisha now has the 'power of giants', he himself has a dual identity related to the main mission of the other team and related to our side quest......"
"So what, we also have the identity of saving his wife, he won't be so stingy."
"Let's go find them first."
Because the Wall of Mary did not fall, the inhabitants evacuated by boat on the day of the breaching of Higanshina ended up in a small town halfway between Higanshina and the Tros District, where they and several surrounding hamlets were used as temporary homes. Alan's father, Grisha, was the only professional doctor in Higanshina, and no one knew him, so it was easy for the reincarnators to ask for their addresses, settle the wounded, and then come to the door.
I don't know if it's because the profession of doctor is very scarce within the walls, or if the Alan family has a little money, obviously they are refugees, they can quickly get a house in a new place that looks okay, and after a few knocks on the wooden door, the door quickly opens.
"It's you!" Allen, who opened the door, recognized the person who rescued his mother at a glance, and shouted excitedly: "Mom, the person who saved us that day is here!" β
"Welcome, welcome!" Mikasa, who is still a loli, did not show the slightest goddess coldness in front of the reincarnators, and stood up happily to greet them.
The house hasn't had time to be renovated yet, the room is just a big one, not even a partition. The furnishings were simple, with a stove, a table and chairs, and two beds, the larger of which lay the wounded Mrs. Jaeger, and at the head of the bed sat her husband, the man they were looking for on their trip.
Could it be that Eren slept in the same bed with Mikasa at night? This little boy, I guess it's not clear how many people envy him.
Zhang Haolin took out the guy familiarly: [Coordinate carrier: strength 152, intelligence 168, physical strength 124, spirit 211, agility 157, cell vitality 209]
Sure enough, even if you are a carrier of the power of giants, the data is very normal when you are not transformed.
"What kind of weapon did you use against the giants that day, it's amazing!" Alan asked Liang Xiao excitedly.
"Several, please take a seat!" Mrs. Jaeger, who was lying on the bed, said nervously, "Oh my God, there are not even enough chairs, please sit on the bed as you like." β
"You were the ones who saved my wife?" Dr. Yeager asked in a slightly surprised tone, "Thank you very much...... But now that we're refugees, we can't afford to repay youβ"
"No, no, we won't sit down, we're here to find Mr. Yeager for something, can you please come out and say a few words?"
"Looking for me?" Dr. Jaeger's face changed, and he said to Alan and Mikasa, "You stay in the house, and I have a few words to my mother's lifesavers. β
β¦β¦
"The key to the basement." After listening to the call of the reincarnations, the man's face turned cold: "What is the relationship between you and the people who suddenly came out to help me before, why is this kind of secret that no second person can know at all, and it seems that everyone in the world knows it in the past two days?" β
"Sir, we have no ill intentions, now that the Higanshina district has fallen, you can't go back anyway." Chen Tao said straight to the point: "It's better to hand over the key to us." β
According to Grisha's original personality and philosophy, he should be one of the people who are most anxious to recover Higanshina and destroy the brainless giants to save the world, but Zhang Haolin stared at his face carefully, only to find that he had a cold face from beginning to end - if he tried his best to hide this coldness through his grateful look when the reincarnators first appeared as a wife saver, then his expression instantly became cold after hearing about the key......
It's like a monk who has seen through everything and is disheartened.
What is it about the memory of the first king, and how much influence it has on people?
A hundred years ago, what did human beings do to make every generation of kings and giants who knew the truth of history think that it was the right choice to lock up human beings with walls; Can Grisha, a person who is full of passion for saving the world, instantly become a cold person who has no interest in the outside world?
Zhang Haolin suddenly figured it out. The reason why Grisha injected his son Alan with giant potion in the original plot and then let him eat his inheritance of the power of the giant - it was not martyrdom at all, but because he was suffering the pain and anger of losing his beloved wife, but while he was affected by the memory of the king giant, he had no fiery passion and motivation to expel all the giants, so he ruthlessly transferred the power of the giant to his son!
Then Why isn't Eren affected by the memories of the king giant? Or is he only temporarily unaffected, and his father hopes that he and his son will take revenge before they are affected?
In an instant, Zhang Haolin thought about a lot of things, and his brain was running so fast that his scalp began to itch...... Doctor Jaeger, who was on the other side of the crowd, also replied: "There is nothing very important in the basement, as long as I live, I can do it at any timeβin short, for your sake, the key was not given to you by you, but it is not in my possession now." β
"It's not in your hands, so where?"
"It must have been in the hands of the guy who helped me, and the key to my neck was gone when I regained consciousness."
"......" Everyone was speechless for a while, no need to ask, that group must be another team of reincarnators. It's no wonder that any reincarnation person with a normal mind will find a way to get their hands on this key when they see it.
"That'...... Excuse me. Chen Tao hesitated for a moment and reluctantly said goodbye to Grisha.
ββ
After leaving, everyone's faces were a little solemn - although the main god sent in a reincarnation team of the same camp, a contradiction still arose: if the previous task of overthrowing the Wang government, one team was the main line, and the other team was the branch line, which could be completed cooperatively...... The basement of the protagonist's house is a side quest for both teams.,It's impossible for one team to complete the other team and there's a reward.,After all, there's only one key.,There's no such thing as cooperation here.γ
"The key is in the hands of the other team, and if we can receive that side mission, they will naturally receive it too."
"I remember that the requirement in the side quest is that only the team of the person who completes the task can get the reward......" Wen Yu looked at the other team members uneasily: "Do you want to give up the mission?" β
"If I don't think about the conflict, I'm afraid I can only give up." Zhang Haolin looked at Chen Tao, "How is it?" β
Chen Tao shrugged helplessly: "Let's find other branches, what else can things do in the hands of a team that is likely to be stronger than us?" β
"Isn't the other side cowardly, why don't we pretend to be strong and force them to hand over the key?" Liang Xiao said tentatively: "Let Mingye also go out to meet them, and then lie to them that our team is full of C-rated ......"
"You're a fool on the other side, what if they ask to see all of our team and give us the key?"
