Game timeAM00:52
The outskirts of the city of gold, the center of the kobold settlement, the patriarch's house

"So. In the end, because you said the wrong password too many times, everyone was teleported out of that terrible place together?"

The kobold matriarch with an extremely round figure picked up a handkerchief to paste on her face, blew her nose vigorously, and looked at the barking adventurer team/beautiful girl mercenary group headed by Mo Tan with red eyes, her voice matched Her little chubby hand that was pressing on her nephew's head trembled violently: "Then just go back like this?!"

Everyone smiled and nodded. They all remembered the scream of joy that the matriarch Carleone had made when she saw her nephew came back safely ten minutes ago, and they also witnessed this apparently ordinary walker The woman who was three minutes slower than the others and whose body was very similar to a gas tank rushed out of the room like a hurricane, hugged Hogg tightly, and burst into tears.

The woman whose physical fitness can only be said to be average, at best with a little more fat, almost pulled out an afterimage at that time, and in the blink of an eye, she hugged her nephew who she thought was separated from heaven and man. No one would Suspect, at that moment, that the fat kobold matriarch was absolutely the happiest person in the whole world.

Although it is not a mother and child, the aunt's love for her nephew is indeed a real, 100% maternal love without any impurities.

Not to mention whether she is a qualified patriarch, but even Casena, who has the biggest opinion on kobolds among the crowd, cannot deny that Jialian Heipi is a great woman.

And now, at this moment, she, who has managed to regain her composure, has really become a patriarch who is so qualified that she is almost unreasonable.

"Am I dreaming?"

She breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the obedient boy standing beside her with gentleness: "You are really back, brat."

Although the latter is a calm, precocious, and intelligent kobold boy, he is still a boy after all. Facing his aunt whom he will almost never see again, Hogg, who has been living with him all these years, and who is trying to maintain his image in public After all, he nodded with sobs: "I'm back, Auntie, I'm really back. Ugh!!"

"Swivel [-] degrees in the air, no splash."

Lucy nodded slightly, and turned her admiring eyes to Hogg, who was slapped with a slap in the face: "I will give nine points."

Christina, who was frightened by Jia Lian's slap just now, shrank her neck and whispered in Lucy's ear: "But Xiaoqian, wouldn't there be water splashes in this kind of place?"

The latter frowned and snorted capriciously: "Then I will also give nine points."

"Oh, you can give it if you want."

Christina gave a wry smile, there was absolutely nothing she could do with her friend who had a strange personality.

Others didn't directly rate the kobold boy who was drawn into the air like Lucia did, but they didn't say anything. After all, this is a family matter, but if Jialian doesn't draw a knife, this level of beating ink It is not convenient for Tan and others to intervene. After all, this incident is indeed too dangerous for Hogg Heippi. It is a miracle among miracles that he can come back safely, and it is right for him to suffer a little.

"It's back! Do you know you're back?"

A few minutes ago, Jiali Ang, who was crying with joy while hugging her nephew, was not afraid of jokes from outsiders at all. She picked up the child on her lap and cracked it like a fat beating, even though objectively she was just an ordinary kobold Women, but Hogg, a kid in his teens, is not as good as an ordinary woman like Jia Lian. He was beaten up immediately, and he confessed his mistake more than [-] times before he was released.

Of course, part of the reason is that Madam Madam Patriarch's hands really hurt a little.

"Go back to your room and reflect!"

After finishing the first period of corporal punishment, Jia Lian let out a vicious breath, raised her finger and pointed to the door with the sign of "Hogg's Room" not far behind her, and gave her eldest nephew a fierce look.

"No, Aunt"

For the past two days, Hogg, who can only sleep on his stomach, nodded while covering his buttocks, then turned his head pitifully and bowed to Mo Tan and others: "Thank you, Brother Mo, and everyone for saving me. Find an opportunity to repay everyone."

Mo Tan smiled: "Be good in the future, and try not to make your aunt angry."

Casena, who had a good impression of the child, broke her joints a few times, and said fiercely with a dark face: "If you don't obey me again, I will clean you up for your aunt."

"Even if you want to sleep on your stomach, don't press your heart, or you will have nightmares."

Lucia somehow gave Hogg a little knowledge, and said seriously: "I suggest sleeping on the left side."

Yaya grinned innocently and said: "If you want to repay Wang, you can eat with Wang!"

"Even if you want to go out to play, you should find a friend with a good sense of direction."

Ji Xiaoge asked solemnly, and then glanced at someone who had difficulty acting alone in an unfamiliar environment.

Others also said some careless things to Hogg. On the one hand, this kid is really likable. A relatively sensible and polite child is suddenly cuter in the eyes of everyone. I don’t know how many times, not to mention other things, at least he knows how to call big brother and big sister, instead of swearing and ignoring you while deliberately swearing in a special way loudly.

All in all, a few minutes later, Hogg, who greeted everyone separately, limped into the bedroom and began to think about it behind closed doors for an unknown number of days.

The matriarch, who was still furious just now, moved back a few steps cheerfully, sat back on her 'chair' which is infinitely close to a double sofa for ordinary kobolds, and said with a light smile: "Let everyone laugh Oh, Hogg is a good boy, this accident is not so much his fault, it is better to say that I have been too strict with him, which made this boy so wild. In the final analysis, I am more responsible .”

Mika Youke whistled and said with a dry smile, "That's what you said, but you almost opened that kid's ass just now."

"Hehe, there is no way. On the one hand, I have to make that kid realize the seriousness of the problem. After all, it is not every time an accident occurs, you can be helped by kind foreigners like you."

Jia Lian patted her stomach twice, and blinked slyly: "On the other hand, you are Hogg's savior after all, if I refuse your request in front of that child, I will feel somewhat uncomfortable. "

Kasena hugged her arms and snorted heavily, curled her lips and said, "Sure enough, you still refuse to lend us that thing?"

"That's right, I can't give it to you."

Carleone pointed to the necklace on her neck, and said in a deep voice: "As Hogg's aunt, I personally thank you very much, and as the patriarch of these hundreds of people in this settlement, I also want to believe that you have no Malicious, but the mission is the mission, I can treat you as VIPs, I can tell everyone that you are trustworthy, I use the dowry I have saved for many years as a reward to thank you for rescuing Hogg, I can even allow you to buy us at the lowest price out of the ore."

Dabs sighed, and said the second half of the sentence for Jia Lian: "But you will not hand over the 'key' to us, will you?"

"Yes."

Jia Lian nodded without hesitation, waved her hand and said: "I can talk about everything else, but this 'keystone' is not for discussion. I can't let everything that the family has passed down from generation to generation be cut off on me. I can't bear this responsibility. .”

"But you gave us that keystone before on impulse."

Ji Xiaoge flapped his wings a little impatiently, wanting to fight for it again.

But Carleen grinned: "You also said, beautiful little orc girl, I was 'impulsive' before, after all, I was very irrational when I was completely panicked because of Hogg's disappearance, but I was kind and noble You... and this knight brother did not take advantage of the danger, not only did not take the opportunity to take away the keystone, but even helped me find my nephew together with my companions."

"but."

"'We can't just sit back and do nothing about this', did you two say it yourself?"

"Uh"

"Did I promise you what to exchange?"

"This"

"No, I even told you clearly that even if you can find Hogg back, I won't violate the ancestral precepts and give you the keystone, right?"

Jia Lian's words were full of malice, but there was still a ray of helplessness and bitterness in her eyes. Obviously, her people were not as bad as her words, but for some reason, she had to do something like this. Because of the behavior of the white-eyed wolf.

Of course, having said that, it is still a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer. After all, they did not promise Mo Tan and the others to give them the keystone as long as they can save their nephew. Instead, they emphasized that they would not violate the ancestor's precepts. .

"Wang wants you to give things to the Wangs."

Yaya shook his ears, squatted on the ground and licked the back of his hand, and said vaguely: "Wangs must try their best to return Wang Shiwangwang to Wang, but if Wang doesn't give it to Wangs, Wang alone will be fine." Give Wang Shi over here, and you can change Wang into Wang!"

Jia Lian suddenly trembled: "What did you say?"

"She said she hoped that you would lend us the keystone, and we will try our best to return it to you in its entirety."

Jadka, who is most proficient at analyzing Baba, immediately translated subconsciously, shrugged and said: "If you don't want to give it to us anyway, she can snatch it by herself, and she can beat you even more than you do now. Look fatter."

Jiali Ang's face turned dark at that moment, and she said angrily: "This old gentleman, aren't you a bit too impolite!"

Jadka looked innocent: "I'm just helping to translate. I'm just a mage. How can I fight? Mo, don't you think so?"

"No."

Mo Tan, who didn't want to be condemned by God because of this kind of shit, shook his head without hesitation, and sold Jadka, who claimed he couldn't fight.

The old mage was suddenly struck by lightning.

"Hehe, whatever you say"

Jia Lian was not annoyed at all, and even grinned: "But in my opinion, you are all very good people, even if you take out any one, you can easily take away my keystone It won’t be taken lightly.”

Yaya gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction, and was about to prove that she was the type who likes to do things easily, but was held down by Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, one left and one right, and even the beautiful girl mercenary group Christina also stood in front of Yaya at the behest of Kasena.

There are two reasons.
First of all, although Yaya as an NPC is not clear, the mission logs of the players clearly state that the key must be obtained 'through peaceful means', so let alone whether it is acceptable emotionally, even if everyone is bloodless The villain without tears also has to consider the possibility of bad consequences in obtaining the task items through "violent means", so this account must be settled anyway, and given the tasks, items, and skills in this game Although a lot of nonsense will be injected into the [Remarks], the place other than the [Remarks] is the opposite, and useless content rarely appears.

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, normal players will never consider using violent means. Even if it is a last resort, many people would rather give up the mission than violate it.

Because it has been spread on the forum a long time ago, but anyone who is facing the task on his body, such as killing the target he needs to protect, releasing NPC pigeons at the appointed time, etc., will basically have nothing to do Good end.

And the second reason, which is the most important reason, is also related to the task!

That was the task that several players got after leaving the ruins that were most likely located underground——

【get off work】

Mission Level: Hidden Epic

Mission Difficulty: High
Requirements for collection: [Black skin] Family reputation > Respect, Master the key words 'administrator', 'keystone'

Mission objective: Remove [Heipi] from the position of health administrator of the No. [-] family archive.

Stage goal: Enter the Sun Dynasty No. 0 Archives with [Key Stone] (1/[-])

Stage reward: 100 optional experience

mission rewards:? ? ?
[Remarks: Such a long service time can even make Abel Lincoln so angry that he came back to life. 】

Obviously, even if it is just a literal study, as long as a caring person who knows the ins and outs of the matter can deduce a rather obvious conclusion from this hidden task
For countless years, Heipi's lineage will die suddenly if they are too far away from the settlement. As long as they leave the village, the "curse" that is likely to evaporate from the world is very likely to disappear after being dismissed from the position of the "health administrator"!
In other words, as long as they get the key from Carleon, not only can they complete the large-scale regional mission of the Archaeologists Association, but this small village that has always been isolated from the world is very likely to be liberated!
The premise is that they can convince the stubborn Carleon Blackpi.

So, did they succeed?

No, they failed~
