There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 807 - 682: Not Hard to Finish in Half an Hour, Right?
Chapter 807 -682: Not Hard to Finish in Half an Hour, Right?
If it were not for them teaming up for the dungeon.
In fact, Zuo Fang would not mind competing for the leadership position, but alas, he had already lost that spot as soon as they entered, and even his character identity is lower than that guy!
This is not about forming a team but forming ancestors!
Just thinking about it feels uncomfortable.
Although the other party’s strength also seems quite good, and they seem capable of carrying the team, so far there have been no problems.
Zuo Fang thought about these things, suffering yet enjoying.
Xu Shuo had already taken back his gaze from the confrontation, and the subtle aura engagement quietly dissipated without causing any stir.
Xu Shuo said softly, “That elf gathered these magical beasts here, probably with the intention of trapping you in the Far North, and indeed you are trapped and unable to leave. However, my timely arrival means there is another way.”
Duke of Silver’s expression showed no surprise: “The mixed-blood elf you brought?”
Xu Shuo nodded.
However, the Duke of Silver showed no surprise, only to say again: “Mixed-blood elves might not be able to control magical beasts.”
“Have you tried?” Xu Shuo looked at him.
“I remember my father tried; his bloodline was stronger than mine, yet it was of no use. The Holy Court initially suppressed our bloodlines, thus also suppressing these powers.”
“I heard you have an eagle.”
Xu Shuo neither confirmed nor denied, but meaningfully glanced at the sky.
The Duke of Silver calmly continued: “The eagle you saw is a Snow Sculpture, a descendant of magical beasts, raised by my father from a young age and brought close to me. It has grown attached to me over time, not because I control it.”
Magical beasts can give birth to offspring.
But even if purebred magical beasts mate, their magical beast bloodline will dilute, and after several generations, it reverts back to a normal wild beast.
That Snow Sculpture, its generation is unknown, and its magical beast bloodline within is very thin, hence its relatively mild temperament, otherwise it really couldn’t be domesticated.
The Duke of Silver glanced at Xu Shuo and continued, “Rest assured, even if I cannot leave the North, I will ensure the Silver Shield Army leaves with you.”
In this continent that has been at peace for nearly a thousand years.
The Silver Shield Legion, constantly battling blood wars with magical beasts, can be said to be the bravest and most formidable team on the entire continent.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
No army can match their fierce bravery, not even the Holy Court’s army.
The elves intend to trap the Duke of Silver here, probably to prevent such a force from joining the final battlefield. Even if the Silver Shield Legion cannot be entirely absent, at least they won’t be fully mobilized.
In this rivalry of royal versus divine power, the armed forces of royalty have the upper hand.
Even though the Holy See of Light has its own army, it simply cannot match against the entire massive army of the empire; the sheer numbers alone could overwhelm the Holy Court’s army.
Otherwise, the Holy Court would not have tried every means to win over the Duke of Silver, aiming specifically for this unstoppable Silver Shield Legion.
The Duke of Silver is aware of this.
Therefore, he also does not plan to let the Silver Shield Legion stay behind.
Main tasks are key to the script’s victory or defeat; side tasks are merely supplements, he can clearly distinguish this importance.
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow: “Do you plan to block this Magical Beast Army by yourself? You’d better leave with me.”
The Duke of Silver paused and said, “Silver City-State can hold out for half an hour, but of course, that assumes the battle on your end concludes quickly.”
The level three assessment countdown is ten minutes.
Giving twenty minutes for the two armies to battle and for camp confrontation, then another ten minutes to wait for the game’s end countdown, not too hard, right?
The enemy driving the Magical Beast Army to assault Silver City-State will definitely choose the timing before or during the two armies’ clash, just to hold him back here.
If he leaves, then the Magical Beast Army could sweep through the North at a breakneck speed and directly enter the Empire’s Inland, potentially tipping the scales of the battle.
If he stays here.
That would be perfect, holding him back, and the Church is directly deprived of a powerful ally.
So after much contemplation, the only op
Xu Shuo chuckled, “You wish it well, but battles between two armies won’t end in half an hour, not even in one or two days. By then, your Silver City-State would still collapse.”
The Duke of Silver frowned but did not respond.
Indeed, everything was based on the need for the Holy Court to make quick decisions.
Otherwise, even if he could hold them off, it wouldn’t last long.
The strategy from the other side was quite troublesome.
If there really wasn’t a good solution, the Duke of Silver’s worst plan was to abandon the side quest and, before the Magical Beast Army penetrated the inland, lead the Silver Shield Legion to strike the royal court to vent his frustration.
Seeing him deep in thought, Xu Shuo smiled again, “So, let’s use my method from earlier.”
He realized that the Duke of Silver seemed to care deeply about Silver City-State, an attitude not typical of a player in the game, as, after all, the Silver City-State here was just a bunch of data to be formatted, no real need to stick with the commitment to protect it.
After thinking it over, Xu Shuo figured this might be related to the Duke’s side quest.
Just like he also had his own side quest.
And it seemed that Sola also had a side quest.
Thinking about it, the side quests in this script seemed especially easy to trigger, although also particularly difficult to complete.
With this in mind, Xu Shuo glanced at Zuo Fang.
Zuo Fang did not seem to show any signs of commitment; likely, his luck was not very good, and he had not yet triggered his own side quest.
The Duke of Silver then said to him, “But Mixed-Bloods indeed cannot control Magical Beasts, even if you let her try, it won’t work… Hmm?”
Mid-sentence, the Duke of Silver saw the young man’s almost amused expression, paused for a while, and then seemed to think of something.
Xu Shuo smiled and said, “Your bloodline and your clan’s bloodline are subdued by the power of the Church, but the power in others hasn’t disappeared, so why not?”
The Duke of Silver paused for a moment: “We have also come into contact with other Mixed Blood Races and have tried.”
In their characters’ memories, the Silver Clan had tried various methods to control Magical Beasts, and maybe even combined with the Elf Clan initially, perhaps in an attempt to resolve the threat of the Beasts.
After all, the Silver City-State had already suffered enough harassment.
Yet, these attempts eventually came to nothing.
Xu Shuo simply said, “If it doesn’t work, then you can decide whether to follow me or stay here when the time comes, I have my own methods.”
As he spoke, he seemed to sense something and looked towards a certain place.
The aura of the Magic Mark was approaching here.
The Duke of Silver heard this and neither affirmed nor refuted the suggestion.
He watched the countless Magical Beast Army in the distance, his eyes devoid of fear, only a silvery serenity.
After a while.
Xu Shuo withdrew his gaze from that place and said to the two, “That girl just went into the mountains, if there are no other plans tonight, I will go meet her first.”
Zuo Fang, who was quietly listening, suddenly interjected, “Didn’t you say we still have to capture that White-robed Bishop?”
Xu Shuo cast a sideways glance at him, “So what you mean is, neither you nor the Duke can catch him, and I must go too?”
Zuo Fang: “…”
The Duke of Silver said, “I can manage; the reason I didn’t capture him was just to avoid startling the prey.”
After speaking, he looked towards Zuo Fang.
Zuo Fang: “…”
Zuo Fang thought for a moment, then looked at Xu Shuo with a face full of concern, “Your Holiness, I’m just worried about your safety, how about I go with you?”
Xu Shuo, uninterested, turned and jumped down the hillside, running towards the sensed location, quickly disappearing into the night.
The remaining two exchanged glances but did not plan to leave immediately.
As long as the White-robed Bishop was still in the city, he couldn’t escape; they felt no need to rush, rather they would stay to see if that method would work.
If it did, they might gain control over the battle situation.
