Chapter 105

(PS: Thanks to the Alliance Leader Muyi 9370 for the generous tip. An extra chapter is added in honor of this, and thanks again for the support.)

"The original Castlevania was not born from the Impaler Count Dracula, but existed long before the Age of Gods began. That was an unknown era far earlier than the birth of the gods."

"Every generation of Castlevania has a Demon King, who then absorbs people from all ages to enter the Castlevania region. And as long as you step into Castlevania, you will never be able to leave Castlevania. You can return to the present world through nodes, but as time passes, you will return to Castlevania again... Listen clearly, not the Castlevania region. The next time you return, you will be directly inside Castlevania."

"According to records, every time you return to the present world through a node, the time will become shorter and shorter, and every time you return, you will go deeper into Castlevania, until you are killed and turn into a chaos monster wandering in Castlevania, or you walk to the final step, which is to kill the Demon King of Castlevania, and this generation's Castlevania will collapse and disappear."

"But all of this has not ended, and will never end, because Castlevania is a node of chaos, the root of pollution, and will never disappear completely. When it appears next time, the person who killed the Demon King in the previous generation will become the new Demon King, and Castlevania will continue to exist until the next generation's 'visitor' kills the Demon King and becomes the Demon King..."

With everyone's explanation, Wu Pifu finally understood the situation of Castlevania in this Baseline Reality 0.6 dream world.

This was no longer a strong enemy he could face, and this was only a Baseline Reality 0.6 dream world. He couldn't imagine how terrifying the lower 0.5, 0.4, or even 0.3 dream worlds were.

He also roughly understood why Chu Minghao said that worlds below Baseline Reality 0.7 were a qualitative change.

In the 0.9 to 0.7 dream worlds, there were only strange things, monsters, and a small amount of nightmares.

Perhaps some deep-level powerful beings extended their tentacles to these high-level dream worlds, but if they wanted to exert their power, they could only drag these high-level dream worlds down, just like the Unborn Mother. So the Baseline Reality 0.9 to 0.7 worlds were indeed much safer.

But starting from the 0.6 world... he didn't know if only this Castlevania dream world was like this, or if all 0.6 and below dream worlds were like this. This level of dream world already had a constant and eternal source of pollution!

This was the point that shocked Wu Pifu the most.

He also roughly understood why Chu Minghao had returned in defeat in the Baseline Reality 0.6 dream world.

It was very simple to set up a level-one shelter; just find a house and buy it. But a level-one or low-level shelter would consume time. Level one takes 10 days every 30 days, level two takes 7 days every 30 days, level three takes 5 days, level four takes 3 days, and level five takes 1 day. If you only set up a level-one shelter, then setting up three of them would consume all your time.

This was also the reason why Chu Minghao warned Wu Pifu and others not to easily set up too many shelters in Baseline Reality 0.9 or 0.8.

If Chu Minghao wasn't sure about solving the strongest enemy of that world and wasn't sure about upgrading the shelter to the highest level, then it would be a burden to him, so naturally, he wouldn't set up a low-level shelter.

Wu Pifu listened to everyone's introduction to Castlevania, and he gradually understood Chu Minghao's situation. At the same time, he also made up his mind not to set up a shelter in this world.

Late at night, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and Wu Pifu was also assigned a room, a brick-and-stone house that was built relatively well. It was the residence of the man in ancient Greek clothing.

He entered the house with the bird and Daphne, looking at the marble modules, carving tools, and some utensils he couldn't name in the house. Daphne said on the side, "The original owner of the house was a golem maker. This is a very ancient extraordinary system, which later evolved into puppeteers and summoners. These are all tools he used to make golems."

Wu Pifu found a chair and sat down, saying, "Daphne, you can find any room to live in."

Daphne hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Wu Pifu and asked, "I've wanted to ask you since just now... Why are you so good to me? Why help me?"

Wu Pifu laughed and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to do it."

Daphne looked hesitant, and she suddenly said, "Could it be that you intend to..."

"That's right!"

Wu Pifu nodded affirmatively.

Daphne's face immediately showed a panicked expression. She started to move the chair backward while sitting, and murmured in a low voice, "It really is like this. I heard those future people say that some perverts would..."

"I want to raise a dog!"

Wu Pifu said excitedly, "In my memory, I wanted to raise a big dog when I was a child, preferably one with thick hair, and it would be even better if it were bigger. I could totally ride on the dog's back to go to school!"

"Awoo!"

Daphne pounced on Wu Pifu with a face full of shame and anger, opening her mouth to tear at him.

Wu Pifu smiled and stretched out a finger to hold her head and said, "Isn't this very energetic? But looking at you, you don't seem to intend to enter Castlevania?"

Daphne couldn't bite Wu Pifu. She sat back in place unwillingly and said angrily, "Yes, at least I don't intend to go in now because I am too weak. Right now, I can't even beat the weakest magical creatures inside... In the Castlevania region, every full moon is a cycle, and a small number of weak chaos monsters will be born in the surrounding area. I can beat these monsters. As long as I kill them slowly, I can gradually become stronger. And my bloodline is the pure werewolf royal bloodline. As I age, I will also become stronger."

Wu Pifu gave an "um" and asked again, "So why on earth do you want to enter Castlevania? Power? Wealth? Strength? Immortality? Which one do you want?"

Daphne was silent for a long time before saying gloomily, "My parents entered Castlevania and never returned. They were very strong, Saint-level super-strong people. It's impossible that they couldn't even find the first return room. Because of their disappearance, a coup occurred in the Silver Wolf Clan, and at the same time, other dark races began to target us..."

It seems this little wolf girl has a lot of stories. Wu Pifu really just listened to it like a story. He had already decided to follow the main force into Castlevania later to take a look, test the waters, grind experience points for a few days, grind monsters for a few days, and see if he could drop any good equipment.

But he would definitely not set up a shelter in this world, so he was just a passerby in this world for five days. After leaving, it was basically impossible to return. Wu Pifu continued to say as if chatting, "How do you know your parents entered Castlevania? Suddenly missing and not returning, maybe they were secretly killed by someone?"

Daphne looked at Wu Pifu with hateful eyes for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "You're the strange one. As long as you enter Castlevania, your identity, name, and the era you come from will all be recorded in the Sea of Spirituality. As time ferments, extraordinary beings of any era can perceive people who have entered Castlevania and haven't died yet from the Sea of Spirituality. So I am sure my parents are in Castlevania."

"At the same time, anyone who comes to the Castlevania region, whether extraordinary or ordinary, will receive information input from the Sea of Spirituality and know most of the rules of Castlevania. Those rules I introduced to you before are what everyone knows. Only you... seem to know nothing."

Wu Pifu said in shock, "Is it that obvious?"

Daphne couldn't be bothered to complain. She found a small room and turned to look at Wu Pifu seriously, "I'm going to close the door. You are not allowed, absolutely not allowed to come and open my door, otherwise I will bite you to death!"

After speaking, Daphne entered the room, and there was a rustling sound inside, seemingly blocking the door with things in the room.

Wu Pifu didn't care about this at all; he was just thinking about what Daphne had just said.

As long as you enter Castlevania, your information will be recorded in the Sea of Spirituality... Is this a kind of extraordinary origin unique to this world?

Can this be considered a kind of alternative historical record?

"So, I can't enter Castlevania? Once I enter, I might meet the conditions for setting up a shelter?"

Wu Pifu muttered to himself, and finally decided not to take the risk. Even if he gave up grinding points, it didn't matter. After all, safety was the priority. The water in this world was too deep. What mythological era, what end-time giant, what eternally existing Castlevania, what Demon Realm chaos... it all sounded like a world view that was incredibly awesome. Maybe any small boss coming out of this Castlevania could kill gods and slaughter demons.

!

Let such a world be left to awesome people like Chu Minghao. He was just a small mortal, and until now, he didn't even have extraordinary power. What was he thinking?

With such thoughts, Wu Pifu came to the master bedroom of this house, lay on the bed and rested, teased the bird, and slowly fell asleep as it pecked at his brows.

The next day, Wu Pifu got up early and practiced boxing in the village to exercise. The villagers also got up one after another. Some went to work, some packed up items, and some went to the blacksmith shop to exchange their food for some simple weapons and armor, and then practiced them.

There were more than a hundred people in the entire village, and more than eighty of them decided to break into Castlevania. Even if they died inside, it was better than being enslaved by extraordinary beings in the future. The remaining thirty or so people seemed to come from ancient times or the Middle Ages. They were already used to being enslaved and decided to stay in the village.

In short, everyone had their own fate. Wu Pifu just took it as increasing his knowledge and listening to a story.

By noon, Wu Pifu saw the little wolf girl Daphne. She had found a leather outfit from somewhere. Although it still didn't match, at least it looked a bit like a person. Although the sub-giant blacksmith was still hostile to her, she could finally enter and leave the village freely.

Wu Pifu didn't care about this. He found the sub-giant blacksmith and handed his wild boar fangs to the blacksmith, saying, "Can you help me transform these fangs into a big knife?"

The sub-giant took the wild boar fangs, knocked on them a few times with his fingers, and after testing them with some tools, said, "Um, it can be done. Monster beast teeth, and from a monster beast that lived for more than three hundred years. My craftsmanship can still manufacture them into equipment. If it were more than five hundred years, I couldn't do it... What reward are you prepared to pay?"

Wu Pifu asked, "Gold?"

The sub-giant shook his head and said, "Gold has no noble value here; it can only be considered ordinary metal... Go dig for minerals, or pick up broken weapons and armor of chaos monsters. I don't look at the quality, I only look at the weight. If it's pure metal, I want one thousand kilograms. If it's ore, I want ten thousand kilograms. Is that okay?"

Wu Pifu asked curiously, "Can you dig for minerals here?"

"Of course you can," the sub-giant said. "The Castlevania region will randomly appear with various geographical terrains, and various mineral veins will also randomly appear... Wait a moment."

The sub-giant rummaged through a pile of debris, then threw a bronze stone and a pickaxe to Wu Pifu, saying, "You can walk around in the surrounding area. If there is a mineral vein under your feet, this bronze stone will glow. Then go dig for minerals. Ten thousand kilograms of ore will be the reward. If there is more ore, you can also pick some weapons and armor from me."

It's really like playing a game.

Wu Pifu sighed like this.

He left the blacksmith shop with the bronze stone and the pickaxe.

At this time, the sun was brilliant, reflecting the massive, incomparable Castlevania in the distance, making it look even more magnificent and... terrifying.

Wu Pifu looked at Castlevania in the distance, and after a long while, he suddenly smiled at himself.

"What are you thinking, you small person? Just dig for minerals properly. Being able to exchange for a handy weapon in this dream world is enough. You are just a passerby..."

Wu Pifu had already made up his mind that he would absolutely, absolutely not enter Castlevania.

At the moment, he took the bird and started wandering around, looking for mineral veins underground.
