Chapter 1595: 536. The Governor’s New Frontier - Ah! How did I suddenly acquire an exclave?

"Look, look! I told you, since the storyline includes Goat Man, it proves these guys definitely have their own questline! I said this back when we passed through Baphomet Canyon. There’s definitely missions and dungeons there.

See, I was right, wasn’t I?"

The Pioneering Group was marching quickly under the night sky.

Players on the ground were riding their mounts, being led by Mrs. Bonis toward the Baphomet Canyon they had just passed through, while players with flying mounts in the sky voluntarily took on the role of scouts.

The student gamers, riding their flashy Skeletal Night Wanderers, were chattering away about the mission’s details, with Ayu being particularly smug.

This guy was one of those types Murphy had mentioned earlier—he paid great attention to the story. When playing the game, he wouldn’t skip a single piece of text, and whenever he discovered something, he’d be the first to post it on the forum threads dedicated to discussing the plot.

This unique sensitivity to details had earned Ayu quite some recognition within the "Story Explorers" circle. However, in the Transylvania region, most of the hidden storylines had been thoroughly explored over the past four months, leaving Ayu struggling to come up with anything eye-catching to boost his reputation.

But with the release of a new map, it was now the perfect time for story buffs to rise again.

This mission had triggered a rescue quest, and as they were heading toward the objective location, Ayu was busy editing information on his flashy Bone Pegasus mount.

While arguing with a few buddies nearby about whether Goat Man might lead to a major quest chain, he was compiling all the information he could find on Goat Man to prepare a new forum post.

But players were encountering Goat Man for the first time now. Their understanding of these quirky creatures came entirely from the word-of-mouth stories of NPCs, which left Ayu quite frustrated due to the lack of solid evidence to go on.

Posting such hearsay topics would undoubtedly earn him mockery from Sister Orchid, who’d trash it as "tabloid material."

Sister Orchid was so worldly—having traveled far and wide, what hadn’t she seen? Using such unverifiable info to test a leader’s opinion was pushing it, wasn’t it?

"Hey, didn’t the NPC mention something about an Underground Palace beneath Baphomet Canyon?"

No Hands Needed to Show Off, riding a Wind Eagle, leaned over and shouted:

"Brother Meow thinks that if the storyline has progressed to Goat Man, then the legendary Underground Palace must be real. Our Bird Group now suspects that we might be uncovering a few dungeons on this trip.

Why don’t we decide now—if dungeons do show up, who goes in first and who follows? We can’t just keep clearing dungeons together like glued teams; loot distribution will be a nightmare."

"Makes sense!"

Lead Dove nodded in agreement and said to Little Hand, representing Brother Meow:

"Then let’s go by skill level—since it’s the Underground Palace, it’s bound to be vast. Whoever encounters something gets dibs, just like when we tackled Wolf Castle. If you can’t handle it, call in some allies; if you take it down solo, it’s yours, no questions asked; distribute the loot yourselves.

Also, go check with other teams, especially solo players.

Let’s not have any nasty guild monopolies. We’re a major guild representing the player base now; we can’t look bad."

"That’s not your concern—Lady Shui is already collecting opinions below."

Little Hand gazed at the hauntingly quiet Baphomet Canyon beneath the night sky and said softly:

"The ladies think this rescue mission is definitely a key part of building reputation with Shadow Valley. Considering we’ve already promised to help Silver Moon Group secure their base, make sure to notify them if we find the captured NPC or any relevant clues in the Underground Palace.

Little Wei Ming paid us fair and square, so we can’t go double-dipping."

"Alright, no problem!"

Good Pigeon made an "OK" gesture, and after Little Hand left, he turned to Cheche, who was prepping protection magic beside him, and said:

"This time’s base mission doesn’t even require clearing a dungeon. Looks like Silver Moon Group really lucked out."

"Bullshit! What luck?"

Cheche adjusted the luxurious reins of his Bone Pegasus mid-flight, changing directions, and continued ranting:

"I bet Silver Moon Group will find defending their base during the Black Disaster tougher than tackling Wolf Castle! Sure, they’ve got full player faction support overall, but this place is completely different from the previous bases!

This one’s entirely player-managed, an ’enclave’ outside Transylvania’s borders. No way Sir Morphy or Governor Milian would hand it over casually.

Hey, I’m telling you—if we want this game’s guilds to become great guilds in the future, owning a base might be a prerequisite. Lucky for us, we fought for it earlier; otherwise, getting a base later would’ve been hell."

"What do you know?"

Meow Meow Shark countered:

"This is called ’patch benefits,’ OK? Besides, even in games, there’s a first-come, first-served principle. The devs can’t just disregard the loyalty of veteran players. Come on, let’s get moving—head to the canyon and find that Underground Palace entrance.

Didn’t those two married NPCs just say that the Shadow Elves’ Weaver of Destiny has been captured for days now? Hehe, maybe we’ll uncover some corrupted storyline everyone loves here.

This plot twist is way too classic—it’s just a matter of whether the devs dare to make CGI for it."

"Hehehe."

The youngsters’ strange laughter echoed in the night as they charged full speed toward Goat Man territory. Meanwhile, deep within Shadow Valley, Adel, who had returned once again, had just finished meeting with several elders.
