Chapter 433: Aid the tyrant?
The players instinctively resisted the thought of helping such a hard-hearted prince, even though they knew they were in a secret realm.
The only one who was excited was Amir, who took on the last two tasks.
At this moment, he was secretly delighted:
"Haha, next, as long as I help the prince and capture Emily deep in the palace, I can get 200 gold coins!"
"Then I just need to wait until dawn, and all those perfect quality items that Lu Li left in the Goodman caravan will be mine!"
Although the words were not said openly,
But the uncontrollable joy on his face completely betrayed his true intentions.
After all, among a group of sad-looking players, that smiling face that looked as if he had gotten a huge bargain was like a crane standing among a flock of chickens.
Too conspicuous.
Soon it attracted Wan Jiaxi's attention.
"Brother, what are you happy about?"
"Don't you think it's a good job to help that scumbag prince get fresh mermaid meat?"
"Isn't it?" Amir saw that the person questioning him was Wan Jiaxi, whose presence depended entirely on his weird hairstyle, and immediately responded with disdain:
"Now we know the whereabouts of the mermaid princess Emily. As long as we catch her, we can get fresh mermaid meat!"
"When you complete the task, you will get 200 gold coins!"
Wan Jiaxi frowned slightly and couldn't help but remind him:
"But this prince has a long history of bad deeds. If we help him find the mermaid princess, wouldn't that be aiding and abetting the evil?"
"Huh?" Amir seemed to have heard the most childish remark in the world, and his smile was exaggerated and full of sarcasm:
"We are just players conquering a secret realm. Do you have to be so sentimental?"
"I don't care if the prince has a bad record. As long as he can complete the mission and gain benefits, even if he does something extremely treasonous, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Besides, we have no choice."
"After signing the oath contract, don't you still have to obey Lu Li's orders in the end?"
"He wants us to go east, how can we go west?"
"How about this, I'll ask my 'superior' and see what Lu Li has to say?"
After saying this, Amir skillfully opened the data panel.
After simply editing everything that happened on the Bone Burial Beach into text and sending it to the secret chat channel, he @ed Lu Li and asked straightforwardly:
"Boss Lu Li, what should we do next?"
Not long after, Lu Li replied:
"All players on Bone Burial Beach, assist the prince in capturing the mermaid princess Emily."
"This..." Wan Jiaxi was choked by the words and was speechless.
It turns out that the strong people all put profit above all else?
Even Lu Li, who is favored by his eldest cousin, cannot escape the rut and fall into the cliché?
Although it is about conquering secret realms, the players themselves should be the most important.
But when Wan Jiaxi thought about how Boss Lu Li made the decision to assist the prince without any hesitation, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Good feelings still exist,
But it is no longer as enthusiastic as before.
Amir looked very proud and patted Wan Jiaxi on the shoulder:
"Look, I'm not helping the tyrant. It was really Boss Lu Li who gave the order. We signed the oath contract and we can't break it."
"Let's quickly organize other players and go into the depths of the palace with the prince to capture him."
As they were talking, the heavily armored guards at the ball had already started to move.
Torches were lit one by one, and the gathered light dispelled more darkness.
There were constant rustling sounds on the beach, and from time to time one could see deformed and distorted figures and groups of "negative beetles" moving aimlessly.
From the looks of it, he seems to be planning to return to Hatteras City right away.
Even though Wan Jiaxi was reluctant, he had no choice but to follow them.
As we walked along, there were monsters lurking in the darkness.
But under the prince's special pressure and the human wall of heavily-armored guards, the players were not harmed at all.
It just adds a little thrill.
The road was smooth and we soon entered the royal city and walked towards the depths of the palace.
I thought it would take some time to find the mermaid princess Emily in this royal city.
But I didn't expect it to be so easy.
Before everyone entered the palace, they saw a figure standing tall.
She was an unattractive woman, dressed in maid's clothes.
At first glance, it seems ordinary.
But if you look closely, you can find that there are people lying around the woman.
There are servants and maids, as well as heavily armored guards.
Among them, an old man with a white beard was the most conspicuous. He was sitting on the ground with his back against the door frame and was sleeping soundly.
"... ah... my royal doctor..."
The monster prince's tentacles fluttered, and he soon saw what the woman was holding in her hand.
It was a dagger.
A handy tool that he once used to kill his mother and wife, and to remove bones and cut meat.
"It seems... I am still a step late..." Fear appeared on the prince's ugly face.
But it was only for a short moment.
Soon, he looked frantic, like a real monster, howling and laughing:
"Hahaha... It's a pity that I have the help of others and have been prepared... But you are alone and helpless..."
"It is destined...喴...to be mine..."
"Dear guests... Is there anyone among you willing to step forward and act as a pioneer..."
The prince turned his head 180 degrees and glanced at the players behind him.
Wan Jiaxi and others subconsciously avoided the sight.
"I am willing to serve the prince." Amir responded actively, as proactive as a dog.
And he greedily put forward the conditions:
"Of course, if I succeed in catching Emily, please give me more reward, Prince."
"Well... no problem..." The prince did not show any displeasure at Amir's temporary price increase and agreed immediately.
The heavily armored guards all stepped back to make way for Amir while blocking other exits.
Under such circumstances, the mermaid princess is like a turtle in a jar, with no way to escape.
All the prince did was just a pre-meal prank after the cat caught the mouse.
The woman was silent, but her eyes, which spoke volumes, told it all.
She was begging.
Beg those players not to help the evil.
But Amir showed no intention of stopping.
As he accelerated his approach, he even used his innate abilities.
[Beast transformation]!
In a moment, Amir's short stature quickly grew taller and swelled to nearly two meters.
His muscles bulged, his claws stabbed, and his fangs were sharp!
Coarse hair spread all over its body, completely transforming it into a monster with a tiger's head and a human body.
"Be obedient and surrender, and you will suffer less."
A rough sound came out from the tiger's mouth.
The yellow eyes are ferocious and shocking!
The sudden change in momentum frightened the woman so much that she stumbled back.
But after a moment, she showed no intention of escaping.
Instead, he stretched out his left hand and touched his cheek.
