It seems that only the adventurers haven't received the script in Chapter 532.
The coastal city of Foxgate is under siege by the undead army, and the city is in grave danger.
The adventurers arrived just as a large army was besieging the city, thus beginning a great adventure.
—A simple plot summary allowed the group to understand the initial progress of this Dungeon Adventure 2.0.
"So, we need to join forces with this archmage to resist the undead army's attack before we can continue the storyline?"
After watching the opening CG played by the familiars, the bard Nightingale said this.
"That's how it seems at the moment," the mage Iris nodded in reply.
"Then...can we go inside this mage tower and take a look? It looks like there are a lot of good things inside, woof."
The wanderer Tian Nanxing curiously peered into the mage tower, looking like he wanted to sneak in and steal some good stuff.
Then she was dissuaded by the iris.
"That won't do. The Archmage seems to be a key figure in the plot. If we rashly lower his trust level, we might lose our game."
"Oh, I see..." Tian Nanxing suddenly realized.
The winged Sasha stood to the side, carefully examining her character attributes and equipment.
This is the first time I've ever played with something like this, and it looks quite interesting. Sasha thought to herself.
Xin Yuehu had her magical delivery familiar send her a thick player manual beforehand, but after studying it carefully for two days, she only grasped some basic knowledge:
Play a role, participate in battles, think from the character's perspective about how to conduct dialogues, and complete mission objectives.
This is the underlying logic of TRPG games.
"In this event, you'll be playing as a member of an adventurer party. Imagine yourself as a sorcerer from another world; this will help you immerse yourself in the role more easily!"
The familiar explained it to her in this way, which made Sasha look like she understood.
Can she really do it? After seeing the examples of several exciting dialogues and battle descriptions in the manual, Sasha had some doubts.
This idea became even more apparent when one witnessed the magnificent scenes of the mental world firsthand.
"The coastal city of Foxgate is under attack. Adventurers, shall we join the fight against the undead legion?" the archmage said to you.
The fox spirit held the script and read her lines, looking at the people in front of her.
She took a few extra glances at Sasha, the winged woman who was pondering how to "play her role."
Bringing Sasha in was indeed my idea.
In her own plan, it was almost impossible to develop Sasha into a magical girl by Bai Ling alone, not to mention that she also had to make the marigold bloom with her protective will. Entrusting it to Bai Ling, that unreliable guy, was really worrying.
Furthermore, it's crucial to avoid arousing suspicion from the two girls, making a reason like "the stargazer noticed her magical talent while she was participating in activities with the magical girls" essential.
Of course, if Sasha can have a lot of fun, then this fox will be very happy too.
As for how to accurately select Sasha from those seven-figure registration information...
Shh, this is a little secret between me and Inari; we foxes think alike.
"It's my turn to speak at a time like this!" The brave Hyacinth volunteered, stepping forward two paces and speaking to the archmage played by Heart Moon Fox.
"We are adventurers on a mission to defeat the Demon King and the undead army."
"Hmm...you made a statement that's very much like a protagonist."
Xin Yuehu said thoughtfully, and threw a concealed die into the dice pan.
"While Hyacinth's words were quite forceful, the Archmage could not simply trust a newly arrived adventurer party."
"Therefore, the archmage gave you a task—"
The fox spirit raised her wand, and magic formed a hand in the air, pointing towards the distant city gate where the guards were gathered.
"Outside the city gates, a general under the Great Demon King Fox is leading an undead army to attack the city. Your mission is to sneak out of the city and assassinate that general, so that we can relieve the siege of the city by the army."
"Adventurers! Let's set off!"
.
"Under the Grand Mage's arrangement, you left the city via a secret waterway and stood on the hilltop overlooking the heavily surrounded Fox Gate."
The scene changes from a magical town to a mountain landscape. When looking out from the cliff, you can see the spectacular scene of the coastal city covered by a magical barrier, and you can clearly see the front line of the siege battle.
Sasha had never seen anything like this before. She stood there looking around, her wings flapping unconsciously, as if she wanted to fly freely in the sky above this otherworldly scene.
"Wow, that's spectacular! It's like a real otherworld!"
The arum also exclaimed in surprise, wagging its tail incessantly.
The camera captured this scene on the cliff, accompanied by a grand and epic piece of music, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.
Am I in another world?
This is the Gate of Fox Virtue!
Did Alice and Fox build it together? No wonder it took so long, it's so magnificent!
"So, how do we complete that task next?"
The group's interest in the magnificent scenery was quickly taken over by the mission objective. Hyacinth called her companions together and decided to use a brainstorming session to assess the current situation.
"I have a way, woof!"
Tian Nanxing raised her hand and expressed her thoughts.
"We can do this—Hyacinth, you launch a frontal attack to draw the undead army's attention, while I quietly circle around to the back of their command post and wipe them all out!"
"How was it? Wasn't it super awesome, woof!"
"...Is a frontal assault really a good idea?" Iris Flower quipped, glancing back at the dark mass of undead legions in front of the city gate.
Let alone attacking, even finding the command post would take a lot of time, not to mention this is a turn-based TRPG, without the kind of hack-and-slash gameplay.
In a turn-based TRPG, a direct attack on a camp of this level... would probably not even give you a chance to reload.
After discussing it for a while, everyone reached a consensus:
"No, we can't confront them head-on; we need to find another way."
"Woof..."
Tian Nanxing wagged its tail, then thought about it and realized that what everyone said made a lot of sense, so it calmed down.
"So what should we do...? Do we just have to sneak over there under the cover of night, woof?"
The group looked at each other, none of them able to come up with a perfect solution, and they seemed to be at a standstill.
Seeing this, the golden fox picked up the script in its hand and read its lines:
"Just when the adventurers were at their wits' end, the sorceress who had recently joined the party revealed the information she knew—"
After reciting this sentence, the fox girl turned her gaze to the winged girl following closely behind the group.
"It's your time to shine, Miss Warlock!"
Hyacinth turned around, looked at Sasha who seemed lost in thought, then looked back at Heart Moon Fox, her face full of question marks.
Huh? Intelligence? Didn't she just arrive? How does she already have intelligence?
Sasha tensed up nervously, rummaged in her pocket, pulled out a thick player's manual, and read aloud the lines from it:
"Everyone... don't worry, I know a druid who has been living in seclusion in the mountains nearby for a long time. She might be able to help us defeat the undead army!"
"Druid?... "
Before Hyacinth and the others could react, a rustling sound came from the woods behind them.
A figure dressed in a giant owl-bear costume leaped out of the woods. A face emerged from the observation port on the costume's chest and spoke to the hyacinth, whose face was filled with shock:
"Hehehe! That's right, I am a Druid! Isn't this owl bear mascot costume awesome~?"
It was none other than the marigold, which had vanished the moment it entered the world of mental images.
