Chapter 805: 274. Searching for code name "Pangolin"_3

It could be said that everyone here belongs to the quick-thinking crowd.

They easily deduced from the name and hints of the quest what kind of ripples this task would bring to the already complex situation in Transylvania.

"This Clan of Jackal and Wolf People that Hog is forming could very likely become an ally to players after this instance!"

Life is Pretty Good quickly started a private chat, pulling all the administrative players from the team into it. He squinted his eyes at the others and said,

"This could represent Sir Morphy’s attempt to manage his own land, but the developers have given us the choice of whether to establish this alien race as an official power!

Just like the old players said they had encountered similar story branches before.

Miss Phemys was saved by their choices, and it was their decision to stay that led to the Transylvania we have now, after the destruction of Cardman City.

We are facing an issue of the same nature."

"Does that mean, if we choose to refuse helping this Jackal and Wolf People here, an entire storyline related to them will be directly cut off?"

Brickmover said,

"Damn, it feels like I just lost five million out of the blue."

"Exactly, new storylines, new factions, and new reputations, maybe even new rewards too."

"I don’t know what you all think, but I don’t think we should miss out on these."

Dump Truck Brother, leaning on his hunting gun, said,

"Transylvania should have some Jackal and Wolf People we can interact with, they too were born on this land. According to Sir Morphy, they are also a part of this land.

What do you guys think?"

"Hey! You bunch of officials aren’t really planning on killing off Hog, are you?"

Little Wei Ming was a bit anxious as she argued fervidly,

"All you get for killing it here are a few pieces of crummy leather armor, but if you keep it and let it grow! Once it has a Clan, it can give us more tasks, more money, more equipment. Who would kill off an NPC that gives them quests?

Hog is very smart, and we were the first to nurture it. I don’t care, if you don’t want to do the quest, I can compensate you.

But this Jackal and Wolf Person, I must keep!"

"Don’t panic, aren’t we all discussing it right now?"

Brother Shovel soothed Little Wei Ming, then said to the others in the private chat,

"Little Wei Ming is right, even if you want to slaughter a pig, wait until it’s fattened. This Hog clearly isn’t worth much now. I suggest we keep it and complete this hidden quest first?"

"I’m worried about the storyline."

Old Chen, seasoned and prudent, had been playing the game for quite some time. His understanding of the land’s history was better than others due to his frequent chats with Professor Malcolm.

He said,

"The reputation of the Jackal and Wolf People in Transylvania isn’t good, and I’ve heard from Professor Malcolm about a disaster called ’Black Disaster’ that is associated with these creatures.

It’s quite a terrifying menace across the continent.

Do you understand what this means?

If we decide to keep these Jackal and Wolf People and help them rise to power, we could very well end up on the opposite side of other factions across the continent.

What I mean is, it’s very easy to mess up if we’re not careful.

Sir Morphy and Lady Cui Si might not care, but convincing the Witch Hunters and Blood Alliance Knights won’t be so simple."

"Professor Chen is right, we do have to consider that aspect,"

Life is Pretty Good nodded his head in agreement, but then abruptly changed the subject, saying,

"However, we’re players, gentlemen! Right now, we’re all formally Blood Servants of the Blood Vulture Clan, and Transylvania is the last remaining ruin of a recently dismembered country.

It’s no exaggeration to say that, Jackal and Wolf People or not, our relationship with other forces on the continent may not necessarily be good anyway.

To give up on this opportunity to cultivate a power on our own, just for the sake of these ’friends’ we haven’t yet met, seems like quite a waste.

More importantly, if we look at it in terms of gameplay, I think being at odds with the whole world isn’t necessarily a bad thing...

In a situation where you can’t tell friend from foe, treating them all as foes is a straightforward and effective solution.

If they’re willing to see us as friends, then they’ll turn a blind eye to a single vassal Jackal and Wolf Clan.

If they don’t consider us friends, even without Hog and his Clan, they could declare war all the same!

What do you think?"

This speech made the other players nod in agreement. Stepping forward, Honorary Knight Taipal, who had been silent until now, leaned on his sword and shield and mimicked an NPC’s unique accent as he solemnly said,

"I have seen the most noble of alien races, and witnessed the most despicable of humans..."

"Hey, cut it out with Old Frank’s lines, will ya! Just say what you think."

"Ahem, I mean, it’s called ’Hog,’ right? Perhaps it is a hint from fate that we should personally cultivate a ’King of the Clearing in the Woods.’

My point is, we the Torrent Knights are willing to give this alien race a chance!"

Although Taipal didn’t offer any valuable opinion, after he spoke, the other administrative players strangely came to an agreement.

They took on the quest, which relieved Little Wei Ming, who had been a little worried.

She gave Hog a look, and the cunning and smart Jackal and Wolf Person immediately stepped forward, bowing and scraping, and said,

"That brute Kenbort, in his ambition to control the Jackal and Wolf People of Transylvania, has placed all the leaders of every big and small Clan in his guard squad. Those Chieftains are the backbone of the Jackal and Wolf People on this land, so..."

"So, you mean to say we should rescue them?" Dust Beater curiously asked. Hog shook its head and said in a low voice,

"No, I would like you to... kill them all! It’s only a wolf pack if there are leaders; the chaotic ones are nothing but dogs running with their tails between their legs... Sirius Morphy wishes to tame them, and Crimson Castle has no need for dangerous wolves.

You need a pack of dogs, so, you must get rid of those ’Wolf Kings’!"
