Chapter 106

Wu Pifu hadn't lived such a leisurely life for a long time.

This Dream World was very special; it was a closed world and not big.

Castlevania itself was a huge core of pollution, and all monsters, weirdness, horror, and even nightmares were bound inside Castlevania.

Perhaps there were still monsters and nightmares in the worlds at various time points outside, but in this Castlevania region, only Castlevania had monsters and nightmares, which meant that other places in the Castlevania region were very safe.

Even according to Daphne, some low-level weak magic creatures would be brushed out in the surrounding area every full moon, and even Daphne, this Samoyed, could win. That posed no threat to him at all.

A Dream World where one didn't have to worry about nightmares suddenly attacking was simply like a vacation for Wu Pifu.

Digging for minerals every day—for others, ten thousand kilograms of minerals might be a massive amount, but for him, it was simply not worth mentioning. He found a mineral point after wandering around for a day, and dug a small mountain of minerals in one afternoon. He didn't know how much this was, so he borrowed a pushcart from the village, went back and forth three times, and by night, the blacksmith had already started forging the wild boar fang knife for him.

He achieved the mineral digging goal in one day, and he had only been in this world for two days. There were still three days left before returning to Gaia. Wu Pifu even wanted to stay in this world for a few more days. There was food and drink, no danger, and the air was good. The people here spoke softly, and everyone was very enthusiastic. Living here peacefully was really too comfortable.

On the third day of coming to this world, Wu Pifu got up early to practice boxing, then went to find a big tree outside the village to cut down, hand-rubbed a rocking chair, and sat on the roof of the house rocking leisurely. In the afternoon, he practiced boxing again, lay down for two hours, and continued again at night...

"No, this is too leisurely."

On the fourth day of coming to this world, Wu Pifu made up his mind that he still needed to practice hard, so he practiced for half an hour more in the morning and half an hour less in the afternoon...

Well, sitting in a rocking chair, brewing a pot of pine needle tea, and blowing the wind—it's really comfortable.

After Wu Pifu finished a pot of pine needle tea, he saw that the time was about five o'clock in the afternoon. He wandered around the village and found that several teams had gathered in the village, practicing in coordination. The sub-giant also pointed them out from time to time, and the priest was leisurely introducing some anti-magic and demon-exorcising rituals to them, and also sold a batch of holy water that didn't know how long it had been in stock.

The villagers told Wu Pifu that tonight was the full moon night. Every full moon night, the magic creatures in Castlevania would go berserk, and their strength would also increase. At the same time, a few magic creatures would be born in the wilderness outside Castlevania. These magic creatures were relatively weak. Basically, it was impossible for any fantasy objects to drop, but killing them could still improve their strength a little.

These villagers were all ordinary mortals. For them, those magic creatures in the wild could improve their physical fitness a lot. Basically, they could become strong men with strong physical fitness. In this way, after the full moon night passed, they would enter Castlevania again, and their survival rate would be much higher.

"Every thirty days there will be a full moon night, which lasts only one night. During this night, various magic creatures will be born, and at the same time, a chaos storm will be generated. The magic array of this village is to guard against the chaos storm. Generally, the chaos storm will last for about thirty minutes to an hour, and then the magic creatures will appear."

The priest and Wu Pifu sat on the stones next to the open space. Both of them were unusually leisurely, chatting while watching the villagers practice.

The so-called practice was nothing more than coordination. Those holding shields, those holding bows, those holding long weapons—even if they were just mortals, as long as they were coordinated tacitly, some low-level magic creatures were nothing to be afraid of.

Wu Pifu said to the priest, "Speaking of which, why did you come here?"

The priest smiled and said, "I came here using a magic ritual. Didn't I say it before? The Papal Palace confirmed the existence of the end giant through the Sea of Spirituality, so it opened the forbidden canon and expanded the registration of extraordinary people. Originally, my spirituality was slightly stronger than ordinary people, and I couldn't be a priest at all. But the Papal Palace did this, and I became a priest. Then, after one year of training, our group of new extraordinary people entered the Castlevania ritual."

Wu Pifu was stunned and said, "All of them were sent in?"

"How is that possible?"

The priest shook his head. He was already getting used to Wu Pifu's lack of common sense. He said, "This is probabilistic. It is not 100% possible to enter the Castlevania region. About one out of a hundred people might enter. And the order I received from the Papal Palace was to stay in the Castlevania region after coming in and maintain the magic array here. I don't need to enter Castlevania. Simply put, this village is the novice village for the Papal Palace to enter Castlevania on a large scale."

Wu Pifu looked around and said, "But I only see one person from the Papal Palace?"

The priest pointed to Castlevania in the distance and said, "Because they all went in. And another thing is that Castlevania is independent of time. About six months ago, I received more than thirty people sent by the Papal Palace. Before that, I received more than a dozen people. In a flash, more than six months have passed, and I haven't encountered anyone again. God knows how the time of Castlevania is calculated."

Wu Pifu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then he looked at the sub-giant not far away and said, "What about you? Why don't you enter Castlevania?"

The sub-giant was silent for a long time before saying, "Because I have no place to return to... My race is gradually weakening. In the ten years before I entered Castlevania, there were only three newborns in the six sub-giant tribes. This proves that the Sea of Spirituality has begun to reject mythological bloodline life. The end of the era also means that mythological life is gradually disappearing."

"High-level mythological lives all went to the outside of the world with the gods, and low-level mythological lives like sub-giants couldn't go. What's the point of going back? Going back is just watching my race go extinct, so I plan to be a blacksmith here."

Wu Pifu continued to treat it as listening to a story.

Then he frowned and looked at the Samoyed at his feet and said, "Speaking of which, I've seen you turn into a dog since this afternoon. Did you eat something bad?"

"Awoo!"

The Samoyed started to want to bite Wu Pifu crazily, but was held back by Wu Pifu with his finger. Then she simply ignored him and tilted her head to look into the distance.

The priest smiled and said, "She is a dark life. Werewolves, blood clans, zombies in the East, mermen in the sea abyss, half-mermen—that is, the red-haired female pirate killed by you—they all belong to dark life. They are lives born from the initial contact and separation of chaos and the Sea of Spirituality, which are more easily infected by chaos."

Wu Pifu asked, "So?" The priest shook his head and said, "When the chaos storm rolls up, the purer the dark life, the greater the influence. Besides turning berserk, crazy, becoming stronger, etc., it is also very easy to be rolled into Castlevania."

"Rolled in?" Wu Pifu asked in confusion.

The priest nodded and said, "Right, just like being absorbed by Castlevania, directly rolled into it, and then polluted by the chaos inside, turning into a chaos magic creature. Of course, this also depends on the resistance of sentience, and it also takes time. If you find the return room during this period, you can also temporarily avoid turning into a chaos magic creature."

Wu Pifu looked at Daphne and said, "So after turning into a dog, you can resist?"

"Awoo!"

The little wolf girl bit at Wu Pifu crazily again, and then was still held back by a finger.

The priest laughed when he saw it. He explained for Daphne, "In fact, dark creatures turning into their original forms are more easily infected by chaos and more easily rolled into Castlevania by the chaos storm. However, she is of the royal bloodline of the White Wolf Clan. The royal bloodline will not turn into a werewolf form, but will turn into a giant wolf. This is pure wildness and mythological life, and the resistance is indeed stronger than the human form."

Wu Pifu pointed at the little wolf girl Daphne, who turned her head away again, and shouted, "But she turned into a Samoyed! Could it be that a Samoyed is also a mythological creature!? Or should I adopt her, how about it?"

"So how about I give you a name? Let's call you 'Dog Egg,' it's easy to raise."

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!!!"

!

After dinner, Wu Pifu practiced boxing leisurely. Looking at Daphne, who was listless in the living room, he smiled and said to her, "You haven't been rolled in several full moon nights before. Clearly, turning into a Samoyed can indeed resist the chaos storm. And this time you even entered the magic array of this village, so the resistance is stronger, isn't it?"

Daphne was already too lazy to pay attention to Wu Pifu's "Samoyed" title. She just lay listlessly on the ground, and her body even trembled from time to time.

Wu Pifu sat down beside Daphne and said, "I'm planning to leave tomorrow, so I'll say goodbye to you in advance. I guess we won't see each other again. I hope you can find your parents later and get what you want."

Daphne looked at Wu Pifu in confusion. Wu Pifu naturally knew what she meant, so he smiled and said, "No, I don't intend to enter Castlevania. It's too terrifying inside. I've made up my mind to be a bit cowardly and cautious. Sorry, I won't go in."

Daphne was even more confused. She barked, and Wu Pifu nodded and said, "That's right, I have other ways to leave here."

While speaking, he took out a conch and laughed, "Magic conch, besides entering Castlevania to find the return room, or killing the Castlevania Demon King, are there any other ways to leave here?"

"... Wait five days."

There was a sound of a woman's voice mixed with waves in the magic conch.

Wu Pifu laughed loudly, "See, the magic conch said so."

Daphne looked at Wu Pifu with the eyes of an idiot.

Nothing more was said. Wu Pifu finished his midnight snack and rocked on the rocking chair leisurely, while the bird was half-squinting on his chest. Both the man and the bird were rarely relaxed.

He would return to Gaia tomorrow, and then he would continue to be busy and face danger. Today was a rare moment of warmth.

Gradually, the wind blew outside, and Wu Pifu saw light shining from the ground, while a strong wind blew outside the village.

"Is it really a storm? I thought it was just a description."

Wu Pifu said, looking at the outside with great interest, and then at this moment, the bird's panicked cry came from behind him.

He turned his head sharply and saw a layer of pitch-black aura wrapped around the bird's body and inside its body. Even though a large amount of white light rolled up from the ground of the house, trying to pull the bird, the black aura in the bird's body was incomparably intense. It combined with the black aura from the outside, and then it was rolled away directly, breaking through the roof. At the same time, these black auras spread everywhere. When they encountered Wu Pifu, they turned into nothing, but quite a few stained Daphne, and then merged into her body.

"Dark creature, dark creature..."

Wu Pifu immediately erupted with both blood energy and blood aura, directly crashing through the wall and rushing out of the house. One step out, he was already more than a hundred meters away. But no matter how fast his speed was, there was no trace of the bird in front of him. At the same time, another object rolled into the sky from the house. Wu Pifu could only watch helplessly as the panicked Daphne was rolled to a hundred meters high and thrown toward Castlevania.

"Monster... also belongs to dark creatures!?"

Wu Pifu gritted his teeth, looking at Castlevania in the distance, his eyes full of anger and killing intent.
