Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 713 Brothers' Wall

  Because they were worried that there would be goblins ambushing on the way, it took Liu Xing and Yin En more than ten minutes to return to the blacksmith village.

   Then, the two of Liu Xing went directly back to the inn.

   By the way, because I entered the inn in the middle of the night yesterday, Liu Xing hadn't noticed that the inn where he and his group stayed was called Longmen Inn.

   Well, Liu Xing doesn't want to complain anymore.

  In the inn, Zhang Jingxu and others were drinking tea and chatting in the lobby. It seems that the investigation work they are responsible for should be very smooth, at least they were not attacked by goblins like Liu Xing and the two.

   Looking at Liu Xing and Yin En with dignified faces, Zhang Jingxu and the others stood up with a tacit understanding. After all, the hall is not suitable for talking about certain things.

   randomly selected a room, Liu Xing and others swarmed in.

   "Liu Xing, how is your situation? And if I'm not mistaken, Yin En has blood on your body, right?" Zhang Jingxu said with a frown.

   Liu Xing nodded and said: "We were just attacked by three goblins in a wasteland outside the blacksmith village, and that wasteland was the entrance to the tunnel."

   "Liu Xing, do you mean that there is indeed a tunnel dug by goblins in the warehouse of a blacksmith shop?" Ding Kun asked quickly.

   At this moment, Yoon En said suddenly: "If there is a blacksmith shop, there is indeed a tunnel in the warehouse, and it looks like it should have been dug by goblins, but I think there is something wrong with that tunnel."

   Liu Xing thought about it, that tunnel is indeed a bit wrong.

   There is no smell in that tunnel.

  The goblins live in harsh environments all year round, and they don’t pay attention to personal hygiene, so the body odor of the goblins is very famous on this continent and can be directly linked to the body odor in the real world.

   And in that tunnel, apart from the earthy smell that must be there, Liu Xing really didn't smell it at all.

   This is very unscientific.

   After all, the tunnel is a relatively closed environment, and a group of goblins will definitely leave a smell, even if the two ends have been ventilated for a few hours.

Liu Xing expressed his thoughts, and Yin En nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I noticed at the time that there was no goblin smell in the tunnel, which is obviously very abnormal, especially when Liu and I were in the same place. After Xing killed the three goblins, I even smelled them, and found that the goblins stink really deserved their reputation, so I can be sure that there is something wrong with the tunnel, at least that tunnel didn't exist today. Open."

   Zhang Jingxu thought for a while and said, "By the way, Yin En, do you know why you were attacked by those goblins?"

After Yin En was silent for a moment, he sighed and said: "I think the reason why Liu Xing and I were attacked by goblins basically have only two possibilities. The first possibility is that those goblins are to cover up. The entrance of the tunnel, or the person who came to check the entrance of the tunnel for the purpose of attacking, all in all, it is just a coincidence that we will be attacked; the second possibility is a bit of a conspiracy theory, that is, someone wants to kill with a knife, so in my Liu Liu After Xing left the blacksmith village, that person started arranging goblins to attack me and Liu Xing."

   "Yin En, who do you think that person will be?" Zhang Jingxu frowned.

Yin En sighed again and said seriously: "I'm not sure now who the goblins were instructed to attack me and Liu Xing, but my first suspect target is the person in charge of a blacksmith shop. , Shen Aotian's eldest brother Shen Dazhuang, because he recommended us to check the entrance of the tunnel, and he also mentioned the strangeness of the goblins outside the city."

   Then, Yin En explained everything he had seen in the blacksmith shop.

"I see, but if it looks like this, the master behind the scenes arranged for goblins to attack you. It is very likely that he just wanted to take this opportunity to warn us not to intervene in this matter. After all, he can arrange more goblins to come. Attack you, not just send three goblins with sticks to do things." Ding Kun put forward his own views.

   Liu Xing agreed with this very much, because the three goblins are too Cai, obviously not the opponents of himself and Yin En, so thinking about it now, the attack that just happened should be just a warning.

   But what worries Liu Xing is that the three goblins are willing to be cannon fodder.

   As mentioned many times before, goblins are timid and weak creatures, so under normal circumstances, goblins would not dare to attack humans unless they can have an absolute numerical advantage.

According to the newly refreshed memory, Liu Xing knows that in most cases, when goblins face adult men in good condition, unless they have an advantage of five to ten times the number of people, they will never take the initiative to attack. .

   Therefore, it is very rare that three goblins dare to attack two adult men like today, and it can even be said that it has never happened in human records of the goblins.

"Just now, Zhang Wenbing and I went to the captain of the guards at the blacksmith village to find out the situation, especially about the situation of the goblins outside the city; first of all, those goblins lived in the cave before the blacksmith village was established. Moreover, there was a battle with the earliest blacksmiths in the blacksmith village, but those goblins became a lot more honest after suffering a loss. The development of the Blacksmith Village is getting better and better, after the Empire began to send troops to station here."

"As for why this group of goblins has not been completely eliminated, the reason the captain of the guard told us is that the terrain of the cave where the group of goblins is located is too complicated, and with the strength that can be gathered in the blacksmith village, we want to destroy it in the cave. Busy goblins are too difficult, not to mention that the number of goblins has reached more than 500, so after seeing that those goblins are honest, the captain of the guard and Shen Kuanglong discussed it. Decided not to do anything to those goblins for the time being, unless those goblins take the initiative to do something."

"As for the recent strangeness of those goblins, the captain of the guards has also heard a little bit, because he often leads the team to inspect the situation around the blacksmith village, so as to prevent some robbers and bandits who are not long-sighted from thinking about the blacksmith village, after all, in the blacksmith village Those mineral resources are still quite valuable, and the amount of coins in each blacksmith shop is not a small amount, so there has been a precedent for robbers to attack the blacksmith village before. As a result, when the captain of the guard was on patrol a few months ago , and found that a group of goblins were cutting down trees on a large scale, so the captain of the guard who came to be interested and followed those goblins with his men."

"After spending a lot of time, the captain of the guard discovered that the group of goblins did not cut down trees to make weapons, but built many simple wooden houses outside the cave where they lived, and there were already many goblins. I lived in those wooden houses, but the most important thing is that there are some sheds next to those wooden houses. There are many cows, sheep, chickens and ducks in the pens. Obviously these goblins have also learned how to livestock, but it may be because of the blacksmith village. It's not because of the farmers, so the goblins who didn't have the right seeds didn't start farming."

"The captain of the guards realized that these goblins may be undergoing some earth-shaking changes, so he immediately reported the matter to his superiors, but his superiors didn't care about it, after all, this group of goblins can be turned over. What kind of storm is coming? Therefore, the captain of the guard did not take this matter to heart; in addition, the captain of the guard also said that this theft incident was his dereliction of duty, so the captain of the guard would fully cooperate with our actions, You can send troops to deal with the goblins with us at any time." Ding Kun said.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said hesitantly: "In this case, the captain of the guard should not be a follower of Bahamut, and there must be some followers of Bahamut standing behind those goblins to help them. , even those goblins have become followers of Bahamut, because I've heard of those **** madmen preaching to any intelligent creature!"

   Liu Xing raised his brows. He did not expect that this Bahamut believer would be so wild that he would preach to all intelligent creatures.

The main reason why the secret church is called the secret church is that the secret church has relatively high requirements for its believers, and basically only preaches to specific groups, such as the corpse-eating religion that has the most contact with Liu Xing , they basically only preach to middle and high-level people in European countries, and they have no interest in preaching to those commoners.

Another example is that it is already considered a non-mainstream in the secret church - although the Deep Dive Society has actually transformed most of the people of the entire universe into its own believers, they are still "backdoor listing" to use it. They preach in the name of another orthodox church, so those ordinary people can't be regarded as the true believers of the Deep Diving Society, so the Deep Diving Society actually only recruited a group of high-level people from the universe as their believers.

   Therefore, for the vast majority of secret churches, their missionary line is the elite line, and they will only recruit those who are good for them to become believers. After all, secret churches value quality rather than quantity.

  If those goblins really became followers of Bahamut, then the secret church organized by this group of Bahamut believers is really a non-mainstream secret church, because they dare to accept any kind of believers.

   This reminds Liu Xing of the Yellow Turban Religion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. . . But then again, Liu Xing remembers that in the context of the Cthulhu myth, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising, seems to be a believer of the Lord of Yellow Clothes, and may even be a clone of the Lord of Yellow Clothes.

   Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt that it would be better not to teach him black and yellow scarves.

"By the way, I have led a team to hunt down a group of Bahamut believers before, and found that those Bahamut believers are not only human, but also other races such as elves and dwarves. It seems that these Bahamut believers are involved. The believers of Te are really from all over the world, and there are all kinds of creatures." Yin En sighed.

At this time, Ding Kun said a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, I had some contact with the believers of Bahamut. That night I was planning how to encourage the villagers in the village to join me, but there was a group of uninvited guests. They broke into my home and blindfolded me as soon as they came, and then they told me they were followers of Bahamut, and their purpose was to win me over to join their secret church— - The True Dragon Society, and their goal of the True Dragon Society is to make the entire continent believe in Bahamut, so they need me to join."

"Of course, I rejected them decisively at the time. After all, Bahamut's viciousness is well known to everyone. How could I be complicit in this group of Bahamut believers, just when I thought they would kill me. At that time, those followers of Bahamut just said that I will regret it, and then they left directly. When I realized that they had left, I immediately checked some small organs that I had arranged near my house. , but those small agencies are simply a thin layer of flour, but these flours allow me to collect the footprints of those uninvited guests."

"Then after careful comparison, I found that the footprints of those Bahamut believers were very confusing. I not only found the footprints of humans, but also found the footprints of orcs. After all, the footprints of those orcs are very easy to distinguish, other than that. I even found the footprints of murlocs. You must know that murlocs usually live by the sea. In our inland human empire, there are basically no murlocs, not to mention those murlocs and us humans. relationship is not good.”

   Murloc?

Liu Xing quickly checked his memory and found that the settings of the murlocs and deep divers in this world are almost the same, the similarity in appearance exceeds 90%, and these murlocs and humans are not reproductively isolated. Murloc hybrids will eventually become murlocs, but the relationship between murlocs and humans is very poor, because murlocs often plunder human fishing villages, so humans have been fighting murlocs for thousands of years.

   Therefore, for humans, the murlocs are the mortal enemies of their own clan, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.

   But if Ding Kun hadn't lied, then Liu Xing would have to raise the threat level of this True Dragon Society to another level, because this True Dragon Society was able to allow humans to work with murlocs.

   It seems that the brainwashing ability of this True Dragon Society is quite powerful.

"By the way, I just went to investigate the situation of the Shen family, and found that Shen Aotian's generation can be described as brothers." Zhang Jingxu said suddenly: "Shen Kuanglong has three sons, and the eldest son, Shen Dazhuang, is in charge of a blacksmith shop. People, the youngest son Shen Aotian is the head chef of Yuelai Hotel, as for the second son Shen Dafu, he is dead now."

died?
