Chapter 105
(PS: Thanks to Alliance Leader Muyi 9370 for the alliance-level tip. I am adding one chapter as a special thanks. Thank you again for your support.)
"The original Castlevania was not born from the impaler Count Dracula, but had already existed long before the opening of the Divine Era. That was an unknown era far earlier than the birth of the gods."
"Every generation of Castlevania has a Demon King, and then it absorbs people from ancient times to the present 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 come back, you will be directly in Castlevania."
"According to records, the time for each return to the present world through nodes will become shorter and shorter, and each time you return, you will go deeper into Castlevania, until you are killed and turn into a chaos magic creature wandering in Castlevania, or you walk to the last step, which is to kill the Demon King of Castlevania, and this generation of Castlevania will collapse and disappear."
"But all of this didn't end, and it will never end, because Castlevania is a node of chaos, the root of pollution, and it 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 'visitor' of the next generation kills the Demon King and becomes the Demon King..."
Following everyone's explanation, Wu Pifu finally understood the situation of Castlevania in this Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World.
This was no longer a powerful enemy he could face, and this was only the Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World. He couldn't imagine how terrifying the Dream Worlds further down, such as 0.5, 0.4, and even 0.3, were.
He also roughly understood the reason why Chu Minghao said that worlds below Baseline Reality 0.7 were a qualitative change.
In Dream Worlds from 0.9 to 0.7, there were only strange things, monsters, and a small amount of nightmares.
Perhaps some great beings in the deeper layers extended their tentacles toward these high-level Dream Worlds, but if they wanted to exert their power, they could only drag these high-level Dream Worlds downward, 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 would return 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 level-one or low-level shelters would consume time. Level-one required ten days out of every thirty days, level-two required seven days, level-three five days, level-four three days, and level-five required one day. If one only set up a level-one shelter, then setting up three at most would consume all the time.
This was also the reason why Chu Minghao reminded Wu Pifu and others not to easily set up too many shelters in Baseline Reality 0.9 or 0.8.
If Chu Minghao didn't have the confidence to solve the strongest enemy of that world and didn't have the confidence to upgrade the shelter to the highest level, then for him, it belonged to a burden, so naturally, he wouldn't set up a low-level shelter.
Listening to everyone's introduction to Castlevania, Wu Pifu gradually understood Chu Minghao's situation, and at the same time, he made up his mind not to set up a shelter in this world.
Late at night, everyone returned 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 took the bird and Daphne into the house and looked 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 at will, and at the same time said, "Daphne, you can find a room to live in."
Daphne hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Wu Pifu and asked at the same time, "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 did it because I wanted to."
Daphne showed hesitation, then 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 at the same time murmured in a low voice, "Sure enough, it's like this. I've heard those future people say that there are some perverts who 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 dense 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 shame and anger, opening her mouth to bite.
Wu Pifu smiled and stretched out a finger to hold up 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 her original place unwillingly and said angrily, "Right, at least I don't intend to go in now, because I am too weak. Now I can't even beat the weakest magic creature inside... In the Castlevania region, every full moon is a cycle, and a small number of weak chaos magic creatures will be born in the surrounding area. I can beat these magic creatures. As long as I slowly kill them, I can gradually become stronger. And my bloodline is the pure werewolf royal bloodline. As I age, I will also become stronger."
Wu Pifu said "um," and he asked again, "So why exactly do you want to enter Castlevania? Power? Wealth? Strength? Immortality? Which one do you want?"
Daphne was silent for a long time, then said gloomily, "My parents entered Castlevania and never returned. They were both very strong, super strong at the Saint level. It's impossible that they couldn't even find the first return room. Because of their disappearance, the Silver Wolf Clan had a coup, and at the same time, some other dark races began to target us..."
It seems this little wolf girl has a lot of stories. Wu Pifu really treated it as listening to a story. He had already decided to follow the main force into Castlevania to take a look, test it out, brush some experience points, brush some monsters for a few days, and see if he could explode any good equipment.
But he would absolutely 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 come back. 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, right?"
Daphne looked at Wu Pifu with hateful eyes. After looking for a while, she lowered her head and said, "You are 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 people of any era can perceive people who have entered Castlevania but 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. The rules I introduced to you before are just that. Every one of them knows, only you... as if you don't know anything."
Wu Pifu said in horror, "Is it that obvious?"
Daphne was too lazy to complain. She found a small room at random, turned her head, and said seriously to Wu Pifu, "I'm going to close the door. You are not allowed, absolutely not allowed to open my door, otherwise I will bite you to death!"
After speaking, Daphne entered the room, and then there was a rustling sound inside, as if she was blocking the door with things in the room.
Wu Pifu didn't care about these at all. He was just thinking about what Daphne said just now.
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, but finally decided not to take the risk. Even if he gave up brushing points, it didn't matter. After all, safety was the priority. The water in this world was too deep. What mythological era, what end giant, what eternally existing Castlevania, what Demon Realm chaos... everything sounded like that kind of world view that was incredibly awesome. Maybe any small boss coming out of this Castlevania could kill gods and slaughter demons.
!
This kind of world should be left to awesome characters like Chu Minghao. He was just a small mortal, and until now, he didn't even have extraordinary power. What was he thinking?
With this thought, Wu Pifu came to the master bedroom of this house, lay on the bed to rest at will, and teased the bird. When it pecked at his eyebrows, he slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Wu Pifu got up early and practiced boxing in this village at will, while 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 one after another.
There were more than a hundred people in the whole village, and more than eighty of them decided to break into Castlevania. Even if they died in it, it was better than being enslaved by extraordinary people in the future. And the remaining thirty-plus people seemed to come from ancient times or the Middle Ages. They were already used to being enslaved, but they decided to continue to stay in this village.
In short, everyone had their own fate. Wu Pifu just treated it as increasing his knowledge and watching a story.
It wasn't until noon that Wu Pifu saw the little wolf girl Daphne. She had found a leather outfit from somewhere. Although it still didn't look matched, at least she had some human appearance. Although the sub-giant blacksmith was still hostile to her, now she could finally enter and leave this village freely.
Wu Pifu didn't care about these. He found the sub-giant blacksmith and handed his wild boar fangs to the blacksmith, saying, "Can you help me transform this fang into a big knife? Can you do it?"
The sub-giant took the wild boar fang, knocked on it a few times, and after testing it with some utensils, said, "Um, it can be done. Monster beast fang, and it's a monster beast that has lived for more than three hundred years. My craftsmanship can still manufacture it into equipment. If it were more than five hundred years, I wouldn't be able to do it... What reward are you prepared to pay?"
Wu Pifu asked, "Gold?"
The sub-giant shook his head and said, "Gold doesn't have any noble value here; it can only be considered ordinary metal... Go dig for minerals, or pick up broken weapons and armor of chaos magic creatures. I don't look at the quality, only 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 one dig for minerals here?"
"Of course you can," the sub-giant said. "The Castlevania region will randomly appear various geographical terrains, and various mineral veins will also randomly appear... Wait a moment."
The sub-giant rummaged through a pile of sundries, then threw a bronze stone and a pickaxe to Wu Pifu and said, "You can walk around in the surroundings. If there is a mineral vein under your feet, this bronze stone will glow, and then go dig for minerals. Ten thousand kilograms of ore will be the reward. If there is more ore, you can still pick some weapons and armor here."
It's really like playing a game.
Wu Pifu sighed like this.
He took the bronze stone and the pickaxe and left the blacksmith shop.
At this time, the sun was bright, reflecting the huge, peerless Castlevania in the distance, showing its magnificence and... horror even more.
Wu Pifu looked at Castlevania in the distance, and after a long while, he suddenly smiled at himself.
"What are you thinking, you small character? Just dig for minerals well. 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.
