Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.
Chapter 22 features Nyarlathotep!
After KP finished speaking, Baek Hee looked at the enormous manor in front of her and raised her eyebrows.
Then, as always, the clues for this module appeared before my eyes.
[Main Quest and Module Information Added]
Mansfield Park is a historic estate with immense commercial value, which is why it has attracted the attention of many heirs.
Most of the heirs live in their respective residences on the second floor of the manor, rarely leaving their homes except for lunch and dinner in the living room and visits to the cemetery for matters related to Old Mansfield's funeral.
There are six potential heirs, including the sons and wife of the late Mansfield, who all seem to be plotting their own schemes.
Regardless of the circumstances, this farce of fighting over the inheritance should come to an end.
Finally, the estate consists of a two-story manor, a cemetery in the backyard, and vast fields. In addition, the manor has a basement, which is said to be a wine cellar.
As outsiders, your rooms are also located on the second floor. Now, begin to do your best.
[Common Theme: Bringing an End to the Mansfield Park Estate Inheritance Battle]
[Secret Mission 1: Investigating Old Mansfield's Suspected Apostasy]
[Secret Mission 2: Investigate and bring Old Mansfield to justice for his blasphemous act]
Each main quest provides at least 20 Ancient Coins, with additional rewards based on player performance.
The money is indeed a lot, but the difficulty of completing it is also quite high.
Bai Xi looked at the additional information and suddenly felt a headache coming on, deeply realizing the enormous difference between the Shoggoth class and the Ghoul class.
Back when I was in prison, I didn't have to think about all the complicated things. I just rushed out and that was it.
He then looked up and saw Jiang Lingyi still behind him, as well as Layton and Stoffey beside him, and gave a standard smile.
It seems they all entered at the same time, so at least they're on the same starting line.
"Um..."
Before Bai Xi could finish speaking, the lawyer named Layton glanced at him, then coldly looked away, and equipped himself with the title of [Elite Lawyer].
The other person doesn't want to talk to you and has thrown a wall at you.
The young man named Stoffey, who had been smiling the whole time, also smiled and equipped himself with the title of [Night Favorite].
Damn, how come all your titles are so high-class?
Bai Xi glanced at his Jumping Slash Mastery skill, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't equip it, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Why does this title sound so unsophisticated?
"I don't have much to talk to you about. Since you're a secret group, fighting on your own is a better option."
Layton spoke frankly, without even revealing his intention to pry into the secrets of the remaining people, and walked straight ahead.
"Aren't you going to wait for the guide?"
"Storfy asked curiously," Layton paused, then shook his head.
"unnecessary."
He then walked straight ahead. Bai Xi immediately saw a man approaching from the manor; upon seeing Layton, he seemed relieved and quickly went to greet him, saying:
"Mr. Layton, this way please. Without a lawyer specializing in wills, I really don't know what to do..."
Layton walked steadily, glancing back at the remaining three as he went.
Who the hell is on the same starting line as you guys!
"Oh dear, it seems he had someone pick him up beforehand."
Stoffey scratched his head awkwardly: "That's the good thing about Secret giving you a decent starting identity; it gives you a much faster start than others."
"Hey, nobody's answering?"
As Stofi spoke, he turned to look at Bai Xi and Jiang Lingyi and asked curiously.
Bai Xi didn't speak, but just looked at her secret, trying to control her tears from flowing down her cheeks.
I'm shivering with cold. I am a dignified chosen one of Serpes, a big shot in the Order, how come there isn't even anyone to pick me up?
I shed blood for the Order! I sweated for the Order! I want to see Serpes! I want to see Serpes!
"It seems there aren't any left."
Stoffey nodded, then sighed, "Oh dear, this manor has terrible hospitality. They don't even know how to greet their guests..."
"I don't know who the guest really is, Stoffey."
Suddenly, a steady voice came from the doorway. In the sunlight, a middle-aged man held an umbrella, his sharp eyes fixed on Stoffey, and said in a deep voice:
"Now that you're back, you should be prepared."
"Look at what he's saying, brother."
Stoffey laughed, still teasing, "My preparations were quite thorough. Look, aren't my men already here?"
The man addressed as "Big Brother" showed no change in expression, but could not hide the increasingly obvious aura of danger emanating from him.
"Storfy, since you've chosen to come back and fight for the inheritance—such a dangerous thing—then you should take it yourself. Don't act like this repulsive wild dog."
After speaking, the elder brother turned away with disgust and walked straight back. Stoffey, however, replied cheerfully:
"Okay, I understand. Although your malice is a bit strong, I'm already used to how the family is."
He looked at Bai Xi again with a warm and welcoming smile.
"Look, the people who came to pick me up have arrived, although they weren't very friendly."
"Oh, by the way, my name is Stormy, Stormy Mansfield. I'm the youngest son of old Mansfield and the heir to his estate. So, I suppose you could say I'm a wanderer returning home? Nice to meet you."
He smirked, leaned close to Bai Xi's ear, and said:
"Yes, I also betrayed the revolution."
After he finished speaking, he followed his elder brother and stepped into the manor, leaving Bai Xi alone, bewildered in the wind.
Damn it! I thought none of us had anyone to guide us, but it turns out I was the only one who didn't?
I never expected that you, Stoffey, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the revolution. I thought you were from the peasant class, but it turns out you're a damn landlord!
What about me? Could someone from the Serpes Order give an order and have eight million soldiers line up and shout, "Welcome the Dragon King home!"?
"What do we do now?"
Jiang Lingyi asked Bai Xi helplessly, and Bai Xi returned the same helpless look.
"It seems the secrets of the Serpes Order are more important, or perhaps there's some other reason why we've lost even our guidance."
Bai Xi said helplessly, "In the early stages, we definitely need to follow the same main storyline. We need to choose someone to help him fight for the family fortune. But the problem is, we don't know anything about it right now."
"We don't even know what each heir does. And our identities make it difficult to formally participate in this struggle."
Bai Xi rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, sensing that things were starting to get complicated.
Just as Bai Xi was racking his brains over how to turn things around, he suddenly felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. He was slightly startled, and then he heard a pleasant voice:
"Oh? I thought I was the only outsider here, but it seems I have another one of my kind in this manor."
"Friend, are you also an old friend of old Mansfield, a traveler who has come here?"
Is this the guide for my group?
Bai Xi suddenly perked up, turned around to look, but was stunned.
Standing behind him was a woman with a cheerful smile on her face. She looked to be in her early twenties, and her dark skin gave off a healthy glow from years of sun exposure.
However, she possessed an appearance that was breathtaking at first glance. Her cascading black hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her emerald green eyes shone like amber.
Beneath that cheerful smile lies a stunningly beautiful face, like Cleopatra, captivating all who behold it at first glance.
How much is that in terms of appearance? At least 90 points, no, wait, it feels like it's almost 99?
Bai Xi stared in astonishment at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, watching her smile at him, when suddenly everything went black.
He had a guess. A desperate guess.
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Natis. What are your names?"
Natis laughed heartily and asked Bai Xi and Jiang Lingyi a question.
Bai Xi felt herself lose her balance, and her vision went even darker.
I just felt like my group was doomed.
Naitis? You're a damn Naitis!
If this mourner had even a single hair that wasn't Nyarlathotep, I'd turn my shoe upside down and stuff it up my ass!
There's a damn Nyarlathotep!
