Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 2198 Orc Curse Chapter 60
Hermes's Hat, which controls the teleportation tower network and occupies more than 80% of the world's economic channels, is the world's largest economic entity and also the largest intelligence provider.

Throughout history, the relationship between intelligence brokers and merchants has always been intertwined; with intelligence comes business opportunities.

It's hard to say whether Azazel and his gang offended Hermes's Hat too much, or if they were just really that ostentatious. In less than half a day, Herbie had compiled all of Azazel's activities into the file in front of him.

After reading the article, Dali Feizhuan's expression darkened. Sure enough, Azazel had been behaving himself for a little over a day.

This situation is not surprising. It's not that the players of Azazel have become kind-hearted, but rather that even doing bad things requires creativity. When a hobby becomes daily work, it turns into torture.

However, the players of Azazel, who used to be well-behaved and scattered in twos and threes, have suddenly become quiet. Hermes's investigation clearly indicates that the players of Azazel gathered in one direction and then disappeared.

That direction was one that even Hermes's Traveling Hat dared not follow—the three rivers of blood that arose after the death of the Titans.

Azazel, or rather Muta, aims for the blood of the evil god.

"Why don't you tell the stranger about something so important right away?" Dali Feizhuan said subconsciously.

Herbie didn't answer, her fingers interlaced, the smile on her face making her look like an empty doll.

Even this cunning businessman with multiple masks didn't know what kind of emotion to put on when faced with the seemingly natural statement of the powerful brick-throwing maneuver.

Yes, that's the huge difference in worldviews.

In the game "Flying Bricks," a player subconsciously felt that NPCs would seek help from players when they encountered difficulties or discovered crises, and that players would solve the problems.

But whether it's Herbie or anyone else, when faced with a problem, they should try to solve it themselves. Even if they need help, they should seek out reliable and trustworthy people.

Players who are strangers to the land are not trustworthy, and they don't know how to ask strangers for help. No one would easily get involved in such a big problem.

After a brief pause, Herbie broke the silence. Instead of trying to understand the self-evident meaning in Flying Brick's words, she went along with it and expressed her helplessness.

"There's nothing we can do. In our eyes, whether it's you or that group of vicious people, they all belong to the group of outsiders. They would covet the power of the blood of the evil god, and naturally..."

Herbie left her sentence unfinished, expressing the rest—something rather impolite—through her facial expressions and outstretched palms.

Judging everyone by a small group of people is undoubtedly one-sided, but the issue with the blood of the evil god is not one-sided.

Almost all players, even Mighty Flying Brick himself, have been more or less interested in the Blood of the Evil God, and some have even jumped in directly.

For players, it's just part of the daily routine, but for NPCs, it's a genuine horror story.

To give another example that everyone understands, no one would go near someone who injects T-viruses, blacklight viruses, and all sorts of highly infectious substances into their body that can turn people into monsters.

Seeing that Mighty Flying Brick's expression became guilty and not angry, Herbie breathed a sigh of relief and immediately expressed his trust in Mighty Flying Brick and the Fairy Kingdom Fan Club.

"Of course, I now believe that you and your companions are trustworthy people who will not succumb to the temptation of the blood of the evil god. Your normal appearance now is the best proof of that." After praising the powerful brick, Herbie cautiously probed.

"In contrast, the strangers of Azazel are probably already immersed in the power of the evil god's blood, losing themselves and being corrupted into monsters."

After the appearance of the Blood of the Evil God, Hermes's Hat quickly collected and learned about its catastrophic power amidst the series of disasters it caused. Its corrosive and bewitching abilities were particularly terrifying. Even those blessed with immortality and the ability to be reborn in flames would be continuously affected mentally after coming into contact with the Blood of the Evil God, even if they were resurrected, until they went mad, fell, and transformed into monstrous forms.

If the foreigners of Azazel come into contact with the blood of the evil god and are corrupted, driven mad, and fall into depravity, it would be a good thing. The noble, the blessing of power and immortality would depart from them, except for this scourge.

but……

Dali Feizhuan shook his head. Players are special; even the whispers of ancient gods are just a matter of lowering the volume for players.

Herbie's expression darkened. That was a serious problem. Fools who were greedy and obsessed with power would only cause some trouble, but if someone was bold enough to use such terrifying power, it would be a real disaster.

"Do you already know something?"

Dali Feizhuan looked at Herbie carefully, and only after confirming that Herbie had no ulterior motives did he slowly speak.

"The leader of Azazel intends to incite a war between orcs and humans, to destroy all order, all order, and the blood of the evil god is probably the key tool in this."

The phrase "flying bricks with great force" was repeated twice to emphasize its seriousness.

"All of it, all of it...isn't this more advantageous for you strangers?"

After Herbie repeated it twice, his clever brain finally understood the simple yet terrifying situation expressed by the powerful brick-throwing technique, followed by incredibly sharp questions.

Dali Feizhuan nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, the chaos in the Third Kingdom, or even greater chaos, would be more conducive to our activities as outsiders. When the world is in chaos, even villains can become heroes. When the whole world becomes a quagmire, people will naturally not care about their reputation."

"But we won't do that."

"I can't give you any reasonable explanation. If I had to give an answer, it would simply be that you shouldn't do bad things."

"...That is indeed a fairly simple answer."

I don't know when it started, but the seemingly obvious thing of not doing bad things has become given a bunch of high-sounding reasons.

After a moment of silence, Herbie smiled and her tone became lighter. She shrugged and once again transformed into a shrewd and obsequious businesswoman.

"I definitely believe in you. I've been working tirelessly for your cause. Those who have doubts about you are the big shots at the top."

"Alright, alright, here are the supplies we need next. As usual, we'll exchange them with you using the stranger's recipe."

Dali Feizhuan was too lazy to argue with Herbie, lest Herbie think that the level of trust between them had increased.

"Good Le!"
