Chapter 23: On how NPCs view players

For Hoder, who has just entered the scene mission, the time span is the most important thing to figure out. He doesn't want to embarrass himself or these extremely vivid intelligent NPCs at the beginning.

So as always, he didn't take the initiative to bring up any topics, but just followed Regin's words.

"Three times?" He just asked, and then began to look at Regin's situation at the moment.

This is a habit of his, the sight under the helmet is not covered, and Regin is also used to that kind of probing attitude.

"Yeah, three times, I wasted a lot of good materials." He just spoke like this, and the frustration in his words was obvious.

And from his old face, Hoder could still see the dark circles under his eyes visible to the naked eye, and then he drew a detection rune magic, and the other party's mental state immediately appeared in front of him.

Name: Regin

Race: Dwarf

status: exhausted

"It seems that you have been busy here all night." After confirming the state of the old dwarf at the moment, Hoder just said so.

"Yeah, I've been busy since you left, and I've been busy until now."

Well, it doesn't look like time has passed...

After deriving information about the time from Regin's words, Hoder couldn't help but set his sights on the two small rooms behind the shop, one of which was open, which was Regin's room, and the other was Siegfried's room. He was gone, but the door was closed.

So, how is Siegfried now?

"I know you have expectations for that child." Just when Hoder was thinking that, Regin's voice came from his ear.

Although the old dwarf was not sure what the man under the frontier armor was thinking, he knew what he was thinking about, and Regin also remembered what Hoder said yesterday, and he had sufficient confidence in him .

But from Regin's own point of view, he thinks this is not a good thing. Compared with Hoder, who only came to visit Siegfried in the Völsung City every once in a while, he has been an adoptive father for more than ten years. The man and the young man got along day and night, and during the process of getting along, he had no other performance except reading books, blacksmithing, and practicing swordsmanship every day.

Ordinary and mediocre...

If Siegfried hadn't awakened the sleeping Holy Sword Gram yesterday, Regin would really have put this label on him.

"However, you just pin your thoughts on Siegmund on him."

Then, upon hearing this, Hoder couldn't help but look at Regin's old face, and the face under the frontier helmet couldn't help showing a touch of subtlety.

This sounds a bit strange, and I always feel like I will lose something if I don't deny it.

"Missing? I'm afraid you are joking with me. They eat and drink hot food in Valhalla, leaving the few of us to suffer in this courtyard."

"I'm not joking." Probably feeling that Hoder's gaze was a little cold, Regin couldn't help but put the animal fur coat on himself, and he just sighed, "You don't have to hide anything, you can fool others and you can't Myself, although I came late, I also know how stupid his mate selection criteria are."

Well, Hoder still agrees with this point. Siegmund's mate selection vision is no different from that of a blind man. After thinking about it, except for his own sister, the subsequent wives are either selfish or short-sighted. The eldest son, the other guy, Siegfried's biological mother's will can't be said to be firm. Although she promised to take revenge at first, she has now gradually begun to enjoy the good life brought by the status of Queen of Denmark, completely throwing away the previous hatred. in the back of the head.

"If it is said that the queens only value his status as a king and a brave man later, then you should be the one who accompanied him at the beginning."

After all, Regin is not the kind of guy who doesn't know anything outside the window. Since he came to Völsunga and settled here, he has made weapons for the adventurers and warriors in the past every day, and exchanged drinks with those bold guys. Listen! The most is the family history of King Siegmund.

Although there may be slight deletions and revisions in this regard, there is always a lingering figure in it: the court sage, the wise man named 'Völsunga'.

"From the beginning to now..."

"We've known each other for... 40 years."

The voices overlapped. For some reason, the words Siegmund said before he died suddenly appeared in Hoder's mind. To him, those words were actually just heard two days ago. Now go to the copy of [Völsunga's Death], he probably can listen to it again.

"40 years..." He couldn't help uttering such words

However, after all, this is just the time span in the game. In reality, the game has only been in operation for more than two years.

However, this slightly dull self-deprecating voice was different in Regin's ears. He just casually picked up the wine jug that he had put on the anvil before, and then took a sip of it.

"Right, 40 years, plus 20 years, almost 60 years, you still remember."

So it's hard to tell an NPC like you...

Hearing Regin's tone of thinking he had seen through everything, the corners of Hoder's mouth under the helmet twitched slightly.

He actually wanted to refute it, but he didn't know where to refute it. Could it be that this is a game to these NPCs who can only live according to the game settings? I played for a little over two years and knew Siegmund. Is Germany less than two years old?

In fact, there are not sand sculpture players who deliberately showdown with NPCs on the forum. Players who are committed to exploring the possibility of the game never follow the route honestly. It's the player's. It's true that the intelligence of NPCs in the broken game "Nine Realms" is indeed high, but there is an upper limit.

Talking to the NPC will definitely cause the mission to get stuck. The sand sculpture players in the forum have already proved it with various screenshots and videos. Hoder dare not mess up on this kind of epic mission that I don't know if it can be restarted.

So, what should you do if you respond normally?

He thought about it carefully, and finally fixed his gaze on the handle of the Gram sword placed on the table.

"In this regard, you have no right to say anything about me. Don't tell me that you plan to recast this sword and use it yourself."

Then, Regin stopped talking, his old face turned blue and red from choking, and in the end, he just sighed and then waved his hands.

"Forget it." He said that he didn't want to say anything more on this topic, "You definitely didn't come here to see me, a bad old man, that bastard Siegfried is in the house, you go and see him. "
