< Brave and Honor - EP.1 Ominous Omen (4) >
Episode 133
“Are you, adventurer Kratos, who says you are solving various quests in a mess these days?”
A lava dwarf man spoke to the party who joined the Adventurer’s Guild.
To be precise, only to Dohyun.
This is because the NPC conversation started suddenly and the status of the other party members was different.
‘That armor is….’
Dohyun looked at the man.
The man was wearing the same armor that had many mechanical parts as seen in the opening video and Instructor Hals’s basic explanation.
As Do-hyun knew, that was a special occupation that could be obtained by choosing the Genos camp, and it was magic engineering armor that only knights with the Barding characteristic could wear.
In other words, the man who spoke to him was a Genos camp NPC.
“I’m Gunt, the chief knight of the Barding Knights belonging to Genos. Nice to meet an adventurer who is making a name for the fortress.”
│ Nice to meet you
After a brief greeting, the man, Gunt, went straight to the point.
“The reason I came here is because I heard that you, a promising prospect, don’t have a proper affiliation yet. That’s right. I came here to ask how it would be to come to Genos.”
“Genos, who developed magic engineering in pursuit of the truth, always leaves the door open to promising adventurers like you.
-Faction selection from level 15?
-But why is there only Genos?
– Not three? Is there only one playable?
-Hon-ran
– Honse Honse!
Even though there are three camps, including two camps and neutral, viewers are confused by the situation that only one appears and recommends affiliation.
At that moment, a sharp female voice came from behind Gunt.
“These are people who forsake the grace they have given them in the name of pursuing the truth and ruin the blessings they have received. They are like ungrateful and ungrateful people.”
It was a woman wearing a soft white light that appeared along with the criticism against the Genos camp.
Just as Gunt, who appeared first, was a Barding Attribute Knight, a profession that can only be selected when choosing the Genos faction, women were also summoners with elemental qualities that can only be selected when choosing the Mysteo faction.
In other words, it is the story of an NPC belonging to Mysteo.
Although, it was enough to know that it appeared while blatantly criticizing the Genos camp.
A tree fairy woman with ‘NPC Seirena’ written above her head stood next to Gunt and looked at Dohyun.
“The spirits whispered your name. You are a very strong adventurer. Nice to meet you. Kratos.
When Dohyun chose the only option, Ayrena laughed lightly.
It was a soft look that was completely different from the first impression he had when he poured out sarcasm towards Gunt.
“Mysteo, who keeps the mystery and is accompanied by fantasy, always welcomes talented people like you. How about you. Kratos-sama. Would you like to join us?”
Eilena’s proposal to join the Mysteo camp.
However, he did not come up with an answer option for Do-hyeon.
It was because Gunt, who had been pushed aside for a while due to Eyrena’s appearance, shot at her with a sharp voice.
“Who is this? Aren’t you a savage savage that lags behind in development? You came here to recruit adventurers on a theme that only lives on in fantasy?
“What do you think will be left after destroying nature with the excuse of development? The truth you seek will only lead to destruction.
Gunt and Eilena are pouring criticism with their eyes wide open as if they are about to attack each other.
However, this place is not called the neutral zone for nothing.
When Eileen of the guild reception desk stared at this side, perhaps feeling her gaze, they quickly snorted at each other and turned their heads.
What they saw was none other than Dohyun.
The reason they appeared here in the first place was to offer Dohyun a recruitment.
“If you have any questions about Genos, ask me. I’ll do my best to explain.”
“If you want to know about Mysteo, just talk to me. I’ll answer you wholeheartedly.”
│Speak to Gunt
│Speak to Eilena
Among the two options, Dohyun chose the second one first.
Then Gunt took a step back, and Eirena said with a smile.
“What do you want to know about Mysteo? Please tell me.”
│I am curious about the history of Mysteo
│What are the characteristics of Mysteo?
│Is there an advantage of Misteo?
│I have no questions
After Dohyeon checked the options one by one, most of what Ayrena said were things she had already grasped.
At least, if you choose Mysteo, how much more detailed about the jobs you can choose and the level of benefits?
It was similar to talking to Gunt.
Realizing that the information was not particularly nutritious, Dohyun shrugged.
But aside from that, after talking with the two NPCs, they spoke again.
“How is it, adventurer? Why don’t you come to Genos and seek the true truth?”
“Kratos-sama. Together with us, you create illusions and protect the mysteries.”
And options that come to mind.
│I will pursue the truth
│I will protect the mystery
│I don’t want to make a decision yet
* The faction you choose has a huge impact on gameplay and story. Please choose carefully
* Switching from the neutral camp to the Genos and Mysteo camps is free. However, in the opposite case, or to change Genos ↔ Mysteo faction, you must complete a special quest.
* If you have not yet chosen a faction, we recommend that you choose a neutral faction.
There are three options given this time!
It was a choice to choose one of the Genos factions, the Mysteo camps, or the neutral camps.
Perhaps it was because it was an option that had a big impact on gameplay, and the explanation that appeared along with the option was quite long.
‘Hmm······.’
After reading the explanation carefully, Dohyun patted his chin and fell into thought.
The faction was one of the game information that Black Dog had solved with good deeds, so he knew the importance of this option well.
To be precise, there was a mention of Jinyoung in the developer interview of Blackdog, and the developer at the time said this.
─”Factions are very important in Brave and Honor. Players in opposing factions are basically opposed to players in other factions. This means PvP outside of neutral territory is also possible.”
─”As the episode progresses, there may be a large-scale war between the factions. Maybe more. Of course, there is also a separate neutral camp for those who don’t want it and for those who want peace.”
Always active PvP between opposing faction players.
There is even the possibility of a large-scale war!
It was a statement that gave us enough insight into how big of a role Jinyoung will play in Brave and Honor.
Of course, this faction choice is bound to be important.
– Genos Gazah
-neutral
– How about Misteo?
– Is it Genos or Mysteo? that’s the problem
– encephalopathy;
-The alternative is extreme~
In the audience chat room, opinions were divided over three options.
But their opinion was unacceptable from the beginning.
This is because the parties, including Do-hyeon, and the broadcasters who Kang Kang-woo has joined have already decided on the camp.
Broadcasters who decided to form a guild together should not choose opposing camps and split up.
So, as soon as he got information about Jinyoung, Kang Kang-woo immediately whispered to the broadcasters he had decided to join.
Which faction to choose?
It goes without saying that a whisper was also passed on to Dohyun.
So, out of the three options, the camp he chose was…
『I Will Protect Mystery
It was Mysteo’s camp.
After Kang Kang-woo asked for opinions from broadcasters, the decision was made because there were more people who preferred the Masteo side.
“It’s an excellent choice, Kratos-sama. The spirits also bless you.”
“You’re making a bad choice, adventurer. I hope you won’t regret your choice.”
The reactions of the two NPCs to Dohyeon’s choice were markedly different.
Ayrena put a smile on her face like a flower blooming, and Gunt frowned openly, revealing her discomfort.
It was a reaction that clearly showed the confrontational relationship between the two camps.
– I thought you would choose Mysteo.
– It was decided earlier, you idiots hahahaha
-Ahhh???
-Kang Sensei turned around a while ago hahaha
-Skillful
From the viewers’ side, it was a reaction that seemed to be the case with Dohyun’s choice.
This is because they also saw Kang Kang-woo’s contact with Do-hyeon, and little information about Jin-young was revealed anyway.
At most, it was a concept for each camp, but there was absolutely no reason to stick with one camp.
Gunt, who was not chosen by Dohyeon, left the Adventurers’ Guild without hiding his displeasure.
The remaining Eilena looked at Dohyun and opened her mouth.
“Apart from the recruitment, there was something I wanted to request from Kratos. Can you accept it?”
│What kind of request is it?
“This is a request to investigate the monster savagery that happened this time. We have hired many adventurers, and we are moving on our own, but we have no clues.”
“If Kratos-sama has already uncovered a clue about him, I would like to entrust you with the quest to see if there is another way. If you can’t find it, it’s okay, so don’t feel burdened.”
│I will accept the request
Seeing that he had no choice but to accept, Dohyun intuitively realized.
The fact that this is the main story quest that follows right after the faction selection event.
As Seungyeon had previously expected, the story continued as she reached level 15.
As he made his choice, Eilena nodded with satisfaction.
“It is reliable. I have a feeling that you will surely find something. The place to investigate is the collapsed tower. Please clear up the monsters there and find out the cause.”
“May the grace of mystery and fantasy be with you…”
After speaking, Eirena left.
Then, the separated phases merged, and the other party members could be seen in Dohyun’s sight.
As if he was the last to finish the conversation, the other party members were already gathering and talking.
Seungyeon saw Dohyun appearing and asked him a question.
“Kratos, did you choose the Mysteo camp too?”
“Of course. Yeonwoo hyung whispered in your ear earlier. Is your sister a mystery too?”
“Yeah. Then all of them are Mysteo here.”
– I’ll have to play Mysteo too.
-If you stick with it, you’ll be able to try it someday.
– I’ll have to go to Genos and fight K. Haha.
– Reckless challenge;
“Really, have you checked the quest?”
“No? I haven’t done it yet. Why?”
“Take a look.”
At Seungyeon’s words, Dohyun checked [Request Information].
There, there was the last quest that Eyrena had given him.
What he confirmed was, of course, Eirena’s request.
[Request Information]
・Eirena’s request
Eilena has commissioned you, a promising adventurer, to investigate the monster savagery. Let’s clear the monster in the collapsed tower and find the cause there.
* Success condition: Clear the ‘Colten Tower’ dungeon
* Quest reward: experience, 30 gold
* Link request: ‘???’ Subjugation in progress
“Uh, is that…?”
– What is the status of the linked request?
-Wow! Subjugation war!
– There is already a subjugation battle hahahaha
– It’s good for quick subjugation~
At first glance, a request with ordinary contents.
However, Dohyun opened his eyes wide and was surprised.
It was the same for the viewers who were watching.
Last line of [Request Information].
‘Linked request: ‘???’ It was because of the sentence ‘In progress of subjugation warfare’.
“Was it a quest related to subjugation?”
“That’s right. That’s what we were talking about too.”
Seungyeon responded to Dohyun’s murmur.
If the party members saw this, it was only natural that they were talking about it.
The subjugation battle was different from the general dungeon clearing or material gathering quests.
That’s right, the subjugation battle could be viewed as a small-scale raid.
