Chapter 64 Dream Trial (Complete Chapter)
"Banaki, are you really sure that coming here is not a wrong decision?"
"The blood of those crazy creatures can be sold for a lot of money. With the money, my sister's disease can be cured. Now..."
Two little ghosts who were not yet sixteen years old moved forward carefully in the cave filled with mist.
"But... it's so scary here..."
"Jason, do you want to marry my sister?"
Banachi waved the torch and looked sideways at Jason behind him.
"If I deny it, can you put down the knife?"
"You don't want to marry a dead man, do you?"
"Okay... Banach."
"Jason, listen, it's not easy to get here, we have to Cherish the opportunity and run out with the blood of the violent creatures before those imperial soldiers find out." "
Even if you say so, we can't even beat Mr. Enmia's dog..." Jason avoided looking. : "How long will it take for us to encounter monsters? I have to write an epitaph for myself."
Banach took out a map and looked at it with firelight: "The core area is an open space deep in the depths. There are still about two hundred meters left."
We walked for more than five minutes.
They approached the area where the so-called monsters were infested, but the scene they saw now seemed a bit strange.
I saw many bug-like monsters lying on the ground, their faces smashed with sharp weapons.
"What's going on?" Jason shrank behind Banach.
"I don't know." Banach illuminated the surrounding area with a torch. Before he could observe his surroundings, a black shadow suddenly flew over and knocked Banachi to the ground.
In a daze, Banach could only hear Jason's cry: "I'm going! Ah! Baba Banach!"
"What's your name..." Banach was only halfway through his words, and his eyes were no longer blurry as he saw countless people An eye was stuck in front of him...
Banachi realized that a creature was pressing on him, and it pressed its huge head against his face.
The head was covered with "human eyes", each eyeball moved regularly, and a disgusting "buzzing" sound came from the head, like the sound of flies or the wailing of humans.
At this moment, Banachi's scalp almost exploded.
However, the sound of footsteps not far away made Banachi observe that there was "fear" in the eyes of this "monster".
It jumped out like a howl!
Jason immediately came over to help Banachi up, and then they saw a man smelling of blood and wearing a strange mask, with a folding stool in one hand and an iron rod in the other, running over from a short distance, ignoring them, and quickly He bullied the fleeing monster and used a folding stool to slap the monster to the ground. Then he actually rode on the monster and stabbed the eyes on its head crazily, causing blood to fly everywhere!
After stabbing the monster to death, Li Nuo heard a series of sounds that made him feel particularly comfortable:
[Eye-inserting stick: poked 30 eyes, upgraded]
[Title: Eye-inserting stick]
[Level: 3]
[Upgrade conditions: Use a stick to blast 80 eyes of targets with hostile emotions]
[Effect: Comes with the skill "Super Knowing lv3", the damage is increased by 1.45 times when attacking weak points]
"Next, I have to blast 80 eyes... I feel that the difficulty factor is a bit high. ." While he was thinking about it, he looked at Banachi and Jason who were in a daze. The two children were frightened.
Then Li Nuo saw the two children turn around and crawl away...
He walked over and pushed the two crawling people to the ground.
The two boys were wearing "armor" that was obviously made from their own straw mats. They each had a sharp-edged kitchen knife on their waists, and both were carrying a worn-out backpack.
The boy named Banachi has curly black hair and shrewd blue eyes.
Jason is good-looking, but his eyes are a little dull.
Both of their faces were covered in dirty dust.
Jason: "Forgive me... Banachi tastes better than me..."
Banachi: "Jason, you bastard...! Jason broke the salt shaker today. You don't need to add any seasoning to eat it!"
Li Nuo He grabbed the hair of these two little things and lifted them up, letting them see the [Emil's Mask] clearly on their faces, and then said slowly: "Look at you two, I am a human being."
Banachi looked around and died miserably. A monster, thinking: Are you calling this a human being?
Jason suddenly said with enlightenment: "I understand, Banach, we are dead! We are going to hell now!"
Banach: "Your brain..."
"Don't think too much...I really He's a human." Li Nuo put them both down and told him, "Wait a moment."
Cha Bai asked him to share the backpack a few minutes ago. At that time, after Li Nuo agreed, he was hit by the "fly monster" before even looking at it. Attack interrupted.
Because the backpack is shared, the grids have been expanded from the original 8 to 14 (8 grids for Li Nuo and 6 grids for Chabai).
A piece of paper appeared in one of the grids. He took it out and saw that it was a "letter for help" written by Cha Bai.
[I met a group of men in Keville who asked me for money. When I gave it to them, they pushed for more, so I broke their arms, and a few of them may have died...] [There was a group of people who claimed to be the police because of this
. They chased me. I had a conflict with them at the bank door. I tore down the bank door and knocked two policemen unconscious. Then they dispatched the national army and called me "hijacking the bank and attacking the police officers." It's the "Terrorist of Eternal Fire"]
[Now I'm in a place called "Kevir Border Police Station". I was informed that I have to pay a large amount of medical bills and repair bills, and I also have to go to jail. What should I do now? ? Should I demolish this "police station"? ]
[Also, where are you? How are you doing? I heard there are no more witchers, are there any changes in plans? ]
When Li Nuo saw the end, the letter had been deeply wrinkled by his hard work. He paused for a few seconds, took out a pen, and wrote on the back of the letter: [Learn
"Basic Fireball Technique" and properly demonstrate Fireball Magic. , and then told the people at the police station that you have lost your memory, but you know that you are a sorceress, and asked for someone from the sorceress church to come] [I am
living a good life, you take care of yourself first. If nothing happens, I will meet you tomorrow. You contact]
Li Nuo stuffed the letter back into the backpack compartment. On the other side, Banachi and Jason kept looking at him blankly. Because when the player operates the backpack, what the NPC sees will be disturbed, so in the eyes of the two children, Li Nuo looks like Taking notes.
"Who are you? Where are you? Why are you here? How do you get out? Are there any dangers nearby?" Li Nuo asked. In order to make the other party less nervous, he took off half of his mask to let them see that he was indeed personal.
Banach said: "We are pharmacy apprentices nearby. I am Banach, and he is Jason... In order to make money, we want to get the blood of some violent monsters. We don't know if there is any danger nearby, but we are going out. The method... we probably know."
Then, as Banachi narrated, key pieces of information took shape in Li Nuo's mind.
In 1801, the second celestial convergence occurred, and a city named Yharnam appeared in a ruins below the Velen region.
That same year, the celestial conjunction also brought forth the creatures of Bloodborne .
I don't know which great genius discovered that when the blood of these creatures is injected into his body, he will enter a mirror world called "Dreamland".
To put it simply, injecting blood is equivalent to entering other people's archives. The dream is the archive, and injecting blood is the start of the game.
In dreams, people's thinking jumps between lucidity and confusion, accompanied by the danger of becoming mad.
This matter was quickly listed as a prohibited behavior by the Nilfgaardian Empire, and laws were used to restrict people from approaching things related to dreams.
It's just that some people can't stand the temptation of bringing out treasures in dreams, and are secretly still looking for the blood of violent beasts.
After Li Nuo figured it out, he asked: "So the cave we are in is an area where a large number of violent creatures gather?" "
Probably... Anyway, there are troops nearby to guard against people coming in." Banachi said: "The country We are prohibited from contacting violent creatures, but the blood of those creatures can be sold at a good price. We need money... This is the fastest way to make money." "You said
you are pharmacist apprentices?" Li Nuo asked.
Jason glanced at Banachi uneasily, and the two brats nodded timidly.
Li Nuo opened the [Weapon Box], took out a gold coin from the sack and shook it in his hand.
Banach and Jason immediately became excited when they saw the gold coins: "Look, Banach! It's not a copper coin, it's a gold coin!" "
I know." Banach looked at Li Nuo cautiously and asked, "Sir, are you Do you have any instructions?" Li Nuo asked, "Have you brought any medicinal materials?"
"Yes."
"Have you brought a pot?"
"As a pharmacist, I always carry a pot with me." "
I want to make something for you. Let me see what you have in your medicinal materials." Li Nuo smiled and said, "I will give you money after we go out."
People who are short of money will not fight with money.
The two little ghosts placed the medicinal materials they carried with them on the ground, and Li Nuo took out the materials collected from Kaer Morhen.
He checked it over.
According to the recipes for decoctions and potions in the "Witcher's Manual", there is currently only one potion that can be made from all the materials.
"Cat."
Li Nuo whispered.
"Increase vision in the dark, a bottle of dwarf spirit, four cypress stem fruits, and two water essences."
While Li Nuo was thinking about it, Banach said: "Sir... we can ask for two less gold coins. , but can you take us out?"
"There is no danger nearby." Li Nuo said, "A total of five fly-like monsters have been killed by me. I can kill five more."
They did not understand Li Nuo. What does Nuo mean by "kill five more"?
But Jason still said: "I heard someone say that there is an undead here..."
"Jason... don't talk nonsense."
"What kind of undead?" Li Nuo asked.
Jason thought for a while and said, "It's a guy with a machete and wearing a dirty windbreaker. I heard from the village priest that it's not a creature of this world."
Li Nuo lowered his head, frowning slightly, "Bloodborne" Hunter?
He asked Banach and the others to fix the torches on the ground, take out a book about alchemy and start reading.
[Alchemical purifier science]
[Type: Skill]
[Learning conditions: Insight 15, or some special identity related to magic]
[Brief description: Purifier is special knowledge that reduces the toxicity of alchemical potions]
Li Nuo spent 500 gold coins to learn This skill.
The skill of Alchemy is not like "Inner Potential" or "Shock Wave". Learning it is equivalent to completing it.
It is more about allowing the learner to form an intuition similar to muscle memory, how much material to put and how long to boil it to refine the best and safest potion.
Li Nuo summarized several materials.
Add to pot.
Use the water poured out by the two children to cook the ingredients.
After waiting for a moment, Li Nuo suddenly felt his nerves jump, and he immediately poured the potion in the pot into a bottle.
He was relieved when he saw the panel popping out of the bottle.
[Decoction: Cat]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Toxicity: 15%]
[Brief description: After drinking, the demon hunter can see in complete darkness and see ordinary creatures or creatures made of inanimate matter, even across the street. The wall can also be seen, and the effect of the medicine lasts for 15 minutes]
"The briefing is finally normal this time." Li Nuo woke up the two little ghosts who were already asleep: "Take me toward the exit."
...
an hour later.
"Are you sure you know the way out?"
Li Nuo crouched under a rock, while Banach and Jason pursed their lips and frowned next to him.
Jason whispered, "That's not right... the road here wasn't that bumpy."
Above them, a centipede about the size of a bus slowly crawled across the top of the rock wall.
"There are no centipede monsters in "Bloodborne"." Li Nuo thought to himself: "But... that fly monster is not strictly speaking a creature in "Bloodborne". It should be someone in the world of "The Witcher". These creatures became these things after being exposed to violent things."
He realized that what "Bloodborne" brought to the world of "The Witcher" was not simply Yharnam or blood therapy, but the violent transformation of creatures. The curse.
He didn't understand the source of the curse.
I don’t want to know either.
After all, Bloodborne's world view involves ancient gods, and the destruction of spiritual power is what is terrifying about ancient gods.
[The Demon Hunter's Dream Trial] requires Li Nuo to get out of the dangerous area, but obviously there are some special circumstances in this place that are similar to ghosts hitting the wall.
"Am I dreaming..." He began to doubt the reality of the situation he was facing now.
Before Li Nuo noticed it, his own thinking was unknowingly falling into chaos.
After walking for a while, Li Nuo saw an old man in the darkness...
He frowned and stared there.
"Sir... have you discovered anything?" Banach, who was already exhausted, asked Jason while supporting him.
"There's an old man there."
"Where? No."
"Indeed, there is." Li Nuo looked hard, and he did see a clear figure in the darkness. An old man wearing a top hat was walking towards him. He waved his hand, pointed behind him, turned around and walked over.
Follow along... there is no other way.
Li Nuo walked over.
When they walked into a narrow road, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the gap in the cave on the side.
Li Nuo immediately withdrew to a safe distance, but saw where he was just now, a man holding a blade had cut cracks in the ground.
At this time, the system's voice came from his mind:
[Has fallen into a violent curse, please go to a safe area within 15 minutes]
"What's going on..."
Li Nuo raised his eyes and saw the full view of the attacker.
Wearing a gray trench coat and a hunter's hat, he held a gun in his left hand and a meat saw like a heavy ax in his right hand.
