Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 712 Attack

   Because neither Liu Xing nor Yin En could enter the tunnel, Liu Xing and Yin En could only choose to leave the warehouse first.

   But when Liu Xing and others left the warehouse, they saw a young man who looked like Shen Aotian waiting at the door of the warehouse.

   "The two are Lord Liu Xing and Lord Yin En of the Brave Squad. Next is Shen Dazhuang, the person in charge of a blacksmith shop." Shen Dazhuang said with a smile.

Liu Xing and Yin En glanced at Shen Aotian subconsciously, while Shen Aotian lowered his head slightly and said, "Shen Dazhuang is my eldest brother and the next head of our Shen family; brother, I just saw that you were still busy with that order. , so I took the initiative to bring the adults of the two brave squads in to check the situation of the warehouse."

Shen Dazhuang nodded and continued to smile: "So that's the case, that's really bothering you little brother, but then again, I remember that your restaurant should start to open, little brother, you should go back and prepare, right? I will be in charge of receiving the two heroes."

   Shen Aotian knew that Shen Dazhuang was ordering him to evict guests, so Shen Aotian could only give Liu Xing and Yin En an apologetic look, and then left Youjian blacksmith shop directly.

   Obviously, the relationship between Shen Aotian and his eldest brother is not very good.

   But what makes Liu Xing most concerned is that the name Shen Dazhuang is not cool enough compared to his younger brother and his father and grandfather.

   At this time, Shen Dazhuang turned to one side and said respectfully: "The two brave adults, if you have time now, can you come to my office to discuss in detail? I know what the two brave adults are here for today."

  Since Shen Dazhuang said so, of course Liu Xing and Yin En nodded in agreement.

  So, Shen Dazhuang brought Liu Xing and Yin En to his office.

After serving tea to Liu Xing and Yin En, Shen Dazhuang said seriously: "I know that the brave adults are in a hurry to slay the evil dragon Bahamut, so this material theft incident has caused a great deal of damage to the brave adults. Trouble, so here I, as the person in charge of a blacksmith shop, have to say sorry to the brave adults."

   After exchanging glances with Yin En, Liu Xing decided to follow the previous plan and start singing a red face and a white face.

  Because of Liu Xing and Yin En's professional reasons, of course, this villain can only be played by Yin Enlai.

Therefore, Yin En's expression changed, and he said fiercely: "If it's useful to say sorry, then what do we need the guards to do? You should know that the princess is still in the hands of the dragon, and her life is like a candle in the wind. There is a possibility that the jade will perish, but at this time you told that all the materials were stolen, and they were still stolen by a group of inexperienced goblins. What do you want us to do? And you don’t think this Is it a bit too coincidental? We just arrived at the blacksmith's village and the materials were stolen?"

Shen Dazhuang had long guessed that Yin En would say this, so he still replied calmly: "Lord Yin En, it is normal for you to have doubts about this matter. They all began to suspect that there was a blacksmith forging an inner ghost, but I believe that Lord Yin En and Lord Liu Xing can see that the tunnel in the warehouse can never be dug out overnight, even if a goblin is good at tunnel digging. Therefore, we have a blacksmith shop and now think that the goblins are probably trying to steal other materials, and they happened to see those precious materials, so they chose to take those precious materials away."

Liu Xing nodded and said: "Boss Shen, you are right, there is indeed such a possibility now, but why did the goblins make a special trip to start a blacksmith shop? Logically speaking, there is a blacksmith shop that is usually The materials used should be similar to those used by other blacksmith shops in the blacksmith village, so why do these goblins go farther than steal from the blacksmith shops at the outermost of the blacksmith village?"

Shen Dazhuang laughed, shook his head and said, "Lord Liu Xing, you don't seem to know much about our blacksmith shop. You must know that even iron ore is graded three, six or nine, and iron ore produced in different places will have some subtleties. The easiest way to distinguish the strength of each blacksmith shop in our blacksmith village is to look at the distance between the location of the blacksmith shop and the center of the blacksmith village. The farther the blacksmith shop is, the worse the strength is. The blacksmith shops on the city wall of the blacksmith village can only make farm tools such as hoes and sickles. The materials stored in their warehouses are naturally not very good. As a blacksmith shop occupying the center of the blacksmith village, our warehouse has a blacksmith shop. I don't know that the materials are higher than other blacksmith shops, so..."

   "So, what are those goblins stealing these materials for? I remember that the goblins don't make iron weapons, right? And those goblins can't trade." Yin En interrupted suddenly.

According to the relevant settings just compiled, the goblins on this continent are not classified into the orc race because of their low overall IQ, but are called together with slimes and others. monster species.

Therefore, the goblins who are monsters only use sticks and stones as weapons, and the iron weapons that occasionally appear in the hands of goblins are basically the legacy left by some ill-prepared adventurers, or some Abandoned weapons left over from the battlefield.

   Therefore, in Liu Xing and Yin En's "memory", there is no precedent for the goblins to make iron weapons.

When they saw this "memory", Liu Xing and Yin En were even more puzzled, because in direct proportion to the preciousness of those stolen materials was the difficulty of making those materials, so those goblins were not at all. It is possible to take those materials for personal use.

In addition, another major reason why the goblins are classified as monsters is that although the goblins are spread across the entire continent, each of their tribes has its own territory, and they do not communicate with each other. The other races above are in a hostile state, so it is impossible for those goblins to sell the materials.

   So Liu Xing and Yoon Eun once again felt that it was not the materials that the goblins stole.

At this time, Shen Dazhuang was still unhurried, and replied calmly: "Yes, it stands to reason that there is no reason for those goblins to steal, but I heard that those goblins seem to have been controlled by others. ."

   Liu Xing and Yin En both frowned and looked at Shen Dazhuang with a puzzled look.

"We all know that the intelligence level of goblins is very low, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, so occasionally some smart goblins will appear, and these goblins often become the leaders of their respective tribes. These tribes also make some abnormal behaviors, so I heard some time ago that the nearby Goblin tribe also had some abnormal behavior. For example, the Goblin tribe began to try to learn us humans to grow crops and raise livestock, so I suspect that a smart goblin also appeared in that goblin tribe." Shen Dazhuang said seriously.

   Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "Boss Shen, what do you mean, someone controlled the entire goblin tribe through that smart goblin, and then used this goblin tribe to steal those materials?"

Shen Dazhuang nodded and said affirmatively: "At least I think so, because after I discovered the tunnel today, I took people to the wasteland outside the city to check the entrance and exit of the tunnel, and found that there were various iron and steel products at the entrance and exit of the tunnel. The traces of farm tools, which means that there must be someone behind those goblins who are supporting them."

   This time, both Liu Xing and Yin En frowned.

   After a while, Liu Xing sighed and said: "So that's the case, then can Boss Shen tell us where the tunnel entrance is. We want to go and see the situation now."

Shen Dazhuang nodded, pointed to the east and said: "Lord Liu Xing, you just need to go out from the east gate of the blacksmith village, then turn right at the first intersection, you can see a deserted farmland within 200 meters. , and the tunnel entrance is very conspicuous, you should be able to see it at a glance."

   So, Liu Xing and Yin En got up to say goodbye, ready to see the entrance of the tunnel, while Shen Dazhuang sent Liu Xing to the door of a blacksmith shop.

   After leaving the blacksmith village, Yin En suddenly said, "What do you think, Liu Xing?"

Liu Xing shook his head and replied: "The current situation is still a little confusing, because it cannot be ruled out that there is a blacksmith shop guarding the possibility of self-robbery, and if there is a Bahamut fanatic who controls the goblin tribe, then It's also possible that those goblins stole materials to delay our crusade against Bahamut."

   "What about other than that?" Yoon En continued to ask.

Liu Xing smiled, touched his chin and said, "Yin En, what you want to say is the internal situation of the Shen family? Judging from the current situation, if the two brothers Shen Aotian and Shen Dazhuang did not deliberately act for us to see, then we can be sure The relationship between Shen Aotian and Shen Dazhuang is very bad. Shen Dazhuang obviously doesn't like Shen Aotian's younger brother, and I also suspect that the reason why Shen Aotian did not inherit his father's business to work in a blacksmith shop, but went to work in an unrelated restaurant, is very likely because There was pressure from within the family."

"Heroes see the same thing. I thought Shen Aotian was a little strange at the beginning. What he did not do well as the son of the blacksmith village chief, he had to become a cook, and his family didn't stop him. Obviously something is abnormal; but then again, if Shen Aotian is acting with Shen Dazhuang, then this matter will be more interesting." Yin En showed a strange smile.

   Soon Liu Xing and Yin En came to the wasteland and saw the entrance of the tunnel at a glance.

   After all, this wasteland was originally a farmland, so the surrounding area was high and the middle was low, so Liu Xing and the two saw the big hole in the center of the wasteland at a glance.

   Liu Xing and Yin En came to the entrance of the tunnel and found that there were indeed many signs of use of hoes and shovels at the entrance of the tunnel. It seems that these goblins did come with tools.

   "It seems that Shen Dazhuang is right. These goblins are prepared. It seems that those goblins may have been collected." Yin En said seriously.

   Liu Xing nodded, and when he was about to speak, he was pre-empted by the kp husky: "Now ask the two players to pass a listening judgment."

   Listening judgment?

   Is there anyone around?

   Liu Xing, 39/60, successful.

   Yoon Eun, 66/75, success.

   When the judgment result came out, Liu Xing heard a burst of light footsteps around.

   "Because both players' listening judgments were successful, the goblin's sneak attack failed." kp Husky said with a smile.

  Sneak attack? !

   Liu Xing and Yin En immediately got up and checked the surrounding situation.

   Then, Liu Xing and Yin En saw three goblins with wooden sticks rushing out of a bush behind them.

  Yin En immediately took out his Fangtian Huaji from the void and stood decisively in front of Liu Xing.

However, although Liu Xing was assigned to the post of pastor, this did not stop Liu Xing from having a heart to play melee combat. After all, Liu Xing already had a melee combat skill, and Liu Xing did not have time to fight with him in this kind of close encounter. The space is at ease as a nurse.

Most importantly, these three goblins looked too weak, because they were all less than one meter tall, and the sticks in their hands were the thickness of a baby's fist. Liu Xing suspected that Yin En was standing there with these Goblin fight, these goblins can't break Yin En's defense, after all, the leather armor on Yin En's body is quite thick.

   In Liu Xing's view, these goblins are like a group of junior high school gangsters who have no fighting power at all.

   But having said that, Liu Xing suddenly thought that the combat mechanism of Dragon Quest games is basically turn-based, which is very similar to the combat mechanism of Cthulhu running games.

Just when Liu Xing was about to use the Random Cloak and Staff Technique, he saw that Yin En took a step forward, and the Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand waved forward fiercely. The three sprinting goblins couldn't dodge directly. hit the blade.

   Then, there is no then.

   Looking at the three goblins divided into two, Liu Xing suddenly felt a little nauseous.

Because Liu Xing had been exposed to anatomy courses in college, in the previous modules, Liu Xing did not have any adverse reactions when he saw terrifying corpses, but the impact of such a live broadcast finally made Liu Xing couldn't take it anymore.

   Besides, these goblins are also humanoids.

   Liu Xing avoided his eyes and said with some complaints: "Yin En, you are too ruthless."

   "I'm on, it's been a knife and a second, there's nothing to say." Yin En said calmly.

   But when Liu Xing saw that Yin En's face was a little pale, he knew that Yin En's heart was not as calm as his tone.

   Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "Let's go back quickly, lest there be any trouble with goblins coming to us."
