Real Cthulhu Running Game

Shen Aotian, who was left behind by his father, hesitated to speak many times, but Liu Xing and others tacitly turned a blind eye to this.

When it comes to fighting, of course, if you can do it without fighting, don’t fight.

"Everyone, are you really not going to accept this side mission?" kp Husky couldn't help but ask.

Yin En replied affirmatively: "Of course, although Zhang Jingxu's dream is based on the Dragon Quest game, we are still playing the Cthulhu Run game, so every time we fight there is a possibility It will overturn, not to mention that the enemy I have to face in this side mission is Goblin. Although the individual strength of monsters like Goblin is very average, the numerical advantage of this thing in various games is still very obvious, so now I It’s certain that the number of goblins we need to face in this side mission will definitely exceed three digits!”

"Yin En is right, and there are many modified versions of monsters like Goblins in various games. I know about thirty or forty types alone, and the most important thing is that there are some hundreds of them. level boss monster, so considering that we are playing a Cthulhu team game, I highly doubt that you will arrange a Goblin King of dozens of levels to deal with us." Liu Xing added insult to injury.

The kp Husky was speechless, which also verified Liu Xing's conjecture that a powerful goblin would definitely appear in this side mission.

After breakfast, Zhang Jingxu, as the captain, announced that everyone could go back to their rooms to rest, or go to the blacksmith village. Anyway, everyone would have to stay in the blacksmith village for a long time.

Liu Xing and others naturally chose to go back to the room to rest first, because Liu Xing and others wanted to have secret room time.

After confirming that Zhang Jingxu, Shen Aotian and others were not paying attention to their group, Liu Xing and others gathered together again.

"I didn't expect that our first opponent would be a goblin. I originally thought it was a slime." Zhang Wenbing said with a smile.

Slime, as the bottom of Western fantasy creatures, is naturally a very suitable novice monster for Dragon Quest games.

At this time, Ding Kun sighed and said with some worry: "But having said that, do you think this side mission is a bit strange?"

Weird?

Liu Xing frowned, and then suddenly realized, "Brother Kun, you are right. If you think about it carefully now, this side mission is indeed a bit strange. Although the Blacksmith Village is only a village in name, in fact the scale of the Blacksmith Village has reached Town level, and we also saw patrolling guards when we came back yesterday, so the group of goblins wanted to quietly bypass the patrolling guards and the security of the blacksmith shop itself, and steal all the important materials that were closely guarded. , that is almost impossible, unless all those goblins change their jobs and become thieves."

Zhang Jingxu and others all agreed with Liu Xing's view.

"I just checked the memory about the blacksmith village and found that the current blacksmith village has gathered one-fifth of the blacksmiths in the entire empire, and these blacksmiths are all top-notch masters, with almost the top weapons and equipment and iron in the continent. All the products made here come from here, so the annual taxes paid by the blacksmith village to the empire account for 30% of the empire's fiscal revenue. Therefore, the empire stationed a provincial-level army here, and each blacksmith shop in the blacksmith village has its own private Security team, so I really can’t believe that a group of goblins dared to come to the blacksmith village to steal things, and stole all the valuable materials in one go." Ding Kun said seriously.

Zhang Wenbing knocked on the table subconsciously, and then said: "It seems that there is indeed a problem with this side mission, because according to the background setting of the Blacksmith Village, even if the group of goblins really stole the materials, the village chief You can also directly arrange for the security guards of the blacksmith shop to retrieve the materials. After all, the stolen blacksmith shop is the largest blacksmith shop in Blacksmith Village and even the entire continent, so the security guards of this blacksmith shop must have at least dozens of people. The overall strength is definitely stronger than our brave team, not to mention that the troops stationed in the Blacksmith Village are not just for food, they will not tolerate a group of goblins staying near the Blacksmith Village."

Liu Xing nodded, and his thoughts were similar to what Zhang Wenbing said.

Although in many Dragon Quest games, the brave team is just a group of tool men who fight wherever they want, but this is a Cthulhu running game that pursues authenticity after all, so logically speaking, there is no need for the village chief of the blacksmith village. He came to his group to deal with the goblins, because he had other better choices.

And judging from the situation just now, it seems that the village chief of the Blacksmith Village wants to let his team deal with the goblins, and there is still no reinforcements.

So this is somewhat interesting.

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Liu Xing, who was near the door, raised his eyebrows, then stood up and opened the door.

It was Zhang Jingxu outside the door.

After Zhang Jingxu entered the door, he quickly closed the door.

To be honest, Liu Xing and others are still quite embarrassed now. After all, they had a small meeting behind Zhang Jingxu's back, but Zhang Jingxu found out now.

However, Zhang Jingxu directly ignored this and said, "Since everyone is gathered together now, it means that you have also discovered that something is wrong with this matter."

Yin En nodded and told Zhang Jingxu the results of his group's discussion just now.

At the end of his words, Yin En did not forget to add, "We are worried that our ideas may be biased, and the village chief of Blacksmith Village or Shen Aotian may come to you, so in order to avoid some embarrassing situations, we thought Let’s get together to discuss this matter first, and then come to you after we come up with a solution.”

Zhang Jingxu chuckled and said seriously: "Sure enough, heroes think alike. I think exactly the same as you. The village chief of the blacksmith village probably embezzled those materials, and then wants to blame the group of people for this. On top of the goblins, after we kill the group of goblins, all this will be unproven, and the most important thing is that we are not unable to communicate with the group of goblins, and the meeting will only have one result. ——You and I live and die.”

Liu Xing sighed, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that's probably the case. After all, those materials are used to deal with evil dragons, and their preciousness is self-evident. It's normal for the head of the Blacksmith Village to express his feelings after meeting with Cai, but I I feel that the head of the Blacksmith Village is probably not the real mastermind, because his status is still too low, and he cannot eat those materials alone."

"Yes, the village chief of the Blacksmith Village is just a village chief after all. How powerful is he to be able to digest these materials? So there should be someone else behind the scenes, and the strength of this mastermind may be beyond our imagination. After all, these The materials are used to make special equipment for us, and we are going to defeat the evil dragon and rescue the princess, so the mastermind behind the scenes wants to make an enemy of the entire empire, and the head of the Blacksmith Village does not have this yet. Qualifications." Ding Kun said with some sigh.

At this time, Liu Xing had already made a bold guess, but before Liu Xing could speak, Yin En said it directly, "So judging from the current situation, if the empire wants to prevent us from conquering the evil dragon, There is only one force that can rescue the princess, and that is the fanatical believers who believe in the evil dragon!"

Sure enough, Cthulhu group games have never been short of fanatics.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said affirmatively: "Yin En, you are right. As far as I know, there are many fanatic believers in the empire who believe in that evil dragon. After all, no one in this world believes in anything. Yes, and for a creature as powerful as that evil dragon, there will definitely be no shortage of fanatical believers."

Hearing what Zhang Jingxu said, Liu Xing suddenly realized a problem, that is, in his current memory, there really wasn't much information about the evil dragon. He even didn't even know the name of the evil dragon, what was its nickname? I don’t know what color it is.

Sure enough, the various settings of this world are still being improved.

However, as the real setter of this world, Liu Xing feels that he can get answers to his questions from Zhang Jingxu.

Therefore, Liu Xing asked: "Master Zhang Jingxu, how much do you know about that evil dragon?"

Zhang Jingxu was stunned for a moment, and then he spoke eloquently: "According to the information I got from the king, the name of the evil dragon is Bahamut, and those lucky ones who survived its attack prefer to call it Bahamut." It is the Wing of Death, because its appearance means death, and ordinary people will feel an unspeakable fear when they see it for the first time. People with weak will may even faint directly; as for the real There are almost no people who have seen Bahamut in full, because those who have seen its true appearance have all died, leaving only those who have passed out and still remember that Bahamut's general appearance is that of a huge and ferocious black dragon. .”

Bahamut?

Deathwing?

Liu Xing did not expect that the black dragon would use this name and nickname.

I believe everyone knows about Deathwing, so Bahamut must be mentioned here.

I believe that many players who have played Dragon Quest games will not be unfamiliar with the name Bahamut, because Bahamut has a very high appearance rate, and sometimes even exists as a boss at the end of a level.

In the real world, the name Bahamut is actually Behemoth (a monster in the Bible, created by God together with Leviathan, and became one of the Seven Kings of Hell in the Middle Ages, and it is even more... The name that is well known to Chinese people should be Behemoth) was born due to a spelling error when it was introduced to the Arab world, and the setting of Bahamut also changed during this period, and in the famous "Arabian Nights" In "Tan", Jesus fell to the ground and was unconscious for three days and three nights because of seeing Bahamut.

So from a certain point of view, this Bahamut is also quite Cthulhu - after seeing the indescribable Bahamut, Jesus entered a temporary state of madness because his sanity value dropped too much at once, so I passed out for three days and three nights.

Back to the topic, Zhang Jingxu continued: "But now we have determined the general attack method of Bahamut. The first attack method is the very common dragon breath attack, and Bahamut's dragon breath attack It is complete fire damage; the second attack method is Bahamut's violent winds flapping his wings, which will cause damage to the enemy like knives; the third attack method is Bahamut's roar, which can The enemy bleeds to death from his orifices; Bahamut's final attack is to use his extremely strong physical fitness to crush his opponent."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Bahamut's attack method was quite orthodox.

"Wait a minute, how did the princess get captured by Bahamut? I don't think I saw Bahamut appear in the capital, right?" Yin En said suddenly

After Yin En said this, Liu Xing and others realized this problem.

According to the memories of Liu Xing and others, Bahamut did not appear near the capital, and there was no trace of Bahamut in the entire empire. However, the king suddenly stood up and announced that Bahamut had snatched the princess.

This time Zhang Jingxu thought about it for a long time before he "made up" this part of the background setting. "The actual thing is like this. Bahamut has the ability to transform, so it turned into a noble bastard." After entering the capital, I took the opportunity to get to know the princess, and finally abducted the princess directly, and even left a note in the princess's room - it was definitely not the princess abducted by Bahamut."

Everyone couldn't help but fell into silence. . .

This strange way of unfolding made Liu Xing and others not know how to complain for a while.

After a while, Liu Xing sighed and said: "Master Zhang Jingxu, are you sure that the princess has not eloped with a certain noble?"

According to the level of cheating in the Cthulhu Game Hall, Liu Xing strongly suspected that the princess might have really eloped with a certain noble, and then conveniently threw the blame to Bahamut. After all, Bahamut was not an easy person to talk to. host.

Of course, it is also possible that Bahamut developed true love with the princess and then took her away.

Zhang Jingxu was also stunned by Liu Xing's question, so after thinking about it for a long time, he said seriously: "Although I don't know much about the details of this matter, since the king has said so , then we will default to the fact that the princess was captured by Bahamut, not to mention that even if it is not the princess captured by Bahamut, our successful crusade against Bahamut can be regarded as eliminating a wrong option, and we can eliminate harm for the people."

Liu Xing and others were speechless.

It seems that no matter what, this Bahamut must die.

So, Ding Kun returned to the topic and said: "In this case, we must determine who are Bahamut's believers in the Blacksmith Village as soon as possible, so Sir Zhang Jingxu, can you provide some clues?"

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said helplessly: "Bahamut is the great enemy of the empire. Those fanatical believers who believe in Bahamut are very cautious, so I have no clues here."
