Chapter 107
Wu Pifu knocked on the blacksmith's door silently.
It was still late at night, and the wind was still blowing hard outside the door. The chaos storm was at its peak.
The sub-giant blacksmith was not a dark creature, so he wouldn't be rolled away by the chaos storm, but he seemed to hate the chaos storm very much, so he only opened half the door.
The sub-giant saw Wu Pifu and his expression, and immediately realized, "That wolf girl was rolled away?"
Wu Pifu shook his head slightly and nodded, "The bird that came with me was rolled away. The black aura on her body infected Daphne, and both were rolled away."
The sub-giant was stunned and said with a serious face, "That bird of yours is actually a dark creature? And the black aura on its body? This is a dark creature containing the bloodline of the True Ancestor!"
Wu Pifu didn't ask about the True Ancestor or anything. He could listen to stories when he was leisurely before, but at this moment, he was already on the verge of exploding.
Wu Pifu just asked, "Is my knife ready?"
The sub-giant saw that Wu Pifu had made a decision. He said "um" and turned into the house. A moment later, he came out with a big knife that was as white as jade.
This knife could no longer see any appearance of fangs. It was as white as jade, and the style was somewhat similar to a Tang knife.
The sub-giant handed the big knife to Wu Pifu and said, "The scabbard hasn't been forged yet, and the inscription hasn't been engraved either. It can only be considered a semi-finished product. It's not worth the minerals you gave..."
Wu Pifu waved his hand and said, "It's already enough."
He turned to leave with the big knife, but the sub-giant threw a bronze stone to him and said, "This is a tool that can find minerals. The more precious the mineral, the brighter the light it emits. I don't know what I should give you. This can be considered the most precious thing I have here. It makes up for the lack of your weapon not being finished. Take it."
Wu Pifu didn't say much, took the bronze stone, and walked toward the outside of the village with big strides.
At this time, scattered villagers were already looking at him from the windows, and the priest ran out holding an oil lamp.
"Are you going to Castlevania?"
The priest looked around and didn't find the bird and Daphne. He seemed to realize something and asked straightforwardly.
Wu Pifu nodded. He didn't speak much either, just tied the big knife to his back, then raised his hands and clasped his fists, saluted the priest, the sub-giant, and the villagers present, and then walked toward Castlevania with big strides without saying a word.
There are things that should be done, and things that should not be done.
Wu Pifu drew a very clear line in his heart.
He wouldn't do evil at will because it violated his bottom line of humanity.
But he also didn't have the ability to care for the world and save everyone at every turn, because he himself was just a struggling ant.
And now it was the same.
If only the little wolf girl Daphne were rolled into Castlevania, he would only bless her. When the five days were up, he would leave if he had to.
But the bird was different...
Wu Pifu's eyes were full of determination and resolution.
Even if it was just for the bird, setting up a shelter in this world—so be it!
Wu Pifu's pace was extremely fast. Although he didn't run at full speed, he had a speed of at least 120 kilometers per hour. A moment later, he arrived outside Castlevania. After running along the wall for a while, he saw a huge city gate at least a hundred meters high.
The city was directly open, without any guards or defenses.
Wu Pifu didn't hesitate and walked into the city gate with big strides. As soon as he crossed the city gate, Wu Pifu keenly felt the change.
The inside and outside of the city gate seemed to be two different worlds. Although there was no obvious change, Wu Pifu, who had reached the Dan Jin level, keenly perceived the difference. This was a strange change—not temperature, not smell, not humidity, not gravity, not light... but a more wonderful change that he couldn't describe.
Combined with the relationship between the pollution source and sentience he knew in this Dream World, Wu Pifu felt that it should be the change he perceived after entering the Castlevania gate, where the spirituality inside and outside was different.
"... Is this spirituality?" Wu Pifu muttered silently.
Speaking of which, when he entered the Wuyou Cave under the ground of Bianliang in the Great Song Dream World, he did indeed feel some kind of cold change. That might also belong to a change in the concentration of spirituality, but the spirituality of the Great Song Dream World had more yin attributes.
Wu Pifu's understanding of spirituality was still very shallow, and he didn't know if it was common to the Dream World. At this time, he naturally wouldn't delve into it, so he walked toward the main building gate inside the city gate with big strides.
There was a European-style garden between the city gate and the main building. As Wu Pifu walked into it, ghost fires emerged on both sides of the road—one, two, ten, twenty. In a short time, there were hundreds of ghost fires wandering around.
Wu Pifu didn't even look at these ghost fires. He continued to walk forward, and then the next moment, all the ghost fires swarmed over, hitting him densely.
"Roar!" Wu Pifu didn't even look, just gave a violent roar, and then continued to walk forward.
The roar was like thunder and a whistle, as if a tiger were roaring in the world. After one roar, all the ghost fires stopped in mid-air, and then all dissipated. And Wu Pifu had already walked to the main building gate at this time. He pushed the gate, and the ten-meter-high gate opened.
It was pitch black inside the gate, but as Wu Pifu pushed the gate and walked in, the candlelight on both sides and on the top began to light up one by one. Wu Pifu saw a huge hall, and at the end of the hall, there were more than a dozen doors, clearly leading to different locations.
Wu Pifu had had conversations with the priest, the sub-giant, and Daphne about the situation inside Castlevania over the past few days. Although he had decided not to enter Castlevania, he still wanted to have some understanding of Castlevania. After all, he was curious, and he could treat it as a story.
According to them, the heroes of various eras who returned from Castlevania had records of Castlevania.
The internal space of Castlevania is chaotic, with a room as a single area, and then dozens or hundreds of rooms constitute a general area. It is generally divided into areas such as the entrance, corridor, sewer, tomb area, reception hall, library, arena, city lord hall, clock tower, and highest area.
The deeper you go, the stronger the magic creatures, and each area generally has three to five elite-level magic creatures, and then a regional commander-level magic creature to command everything. Finally, the strongest is the Demon King, the owner of this generation of Castlevania.
As for the strength of these magic creatures in Castlevania, according to everyone's statement, the elite-level magic creatures in the outermost area are slightly weaker than the Saint level, the commander-level magic creatures are slightly higher than the Saint level, and the further inside, the stronger the magic creatures. The elite-level magic creatures in the deepest part might even exceed the Saint level, and the commander-level ones are often god-blood heroes or demigods, and even the right-hand man of the strongest Demon King can reach the level of a god.
And the combat power Wu Pifu showed was evaluated by everyone as a Saint-level specializing in flesh and blood, inferior to a hero.
Wu Pifu didn't know the extraordinary levels of this world's other extraordinary people. He only heard others mention it. From the Saint level, they are Saint, Hero, God-Blood Hero, Demigod, God, and Main God.
Among them, the priest specifically explained it using the extraordinary system of ancient Greece. Taking the Trojan War as an example, the strongest hero of the Trojan side, Hector, belonged to a hero, second only to a god-blood hero. And the strongest hero of the Athenian side who killed Hector, Achilles, belonged to a god-blood hero. Wu Pifu's strength was about the same as a famous hero in that war, but he belonged to a third-rate character who would be killed by Hector within a few moves, but he didn't belong to a passerby soldier.
!
One can imagine how deep the water in this Castlevania is and how terrifying the monsters are.
Even so, Wu Pifu had to break in!
As Wu Pifu stepped into the hall, the candlelight lit up, and then dozens of skeleton monsters appeared around, either holding knives and shields, or holding long spears, or holding flails. Except for no long-range weapons, melee weapons were almost all available.
This is the true interior of Castlevania. These are the weakest monsters to welcome newcomers.
According to the priest and the others, these monsters only guard this room and won't go to other rooms. They don't have any consciousness, only elite-level monsters have some intelligence, and only commander-level ones have complete sentience, but they are also greatly affected by chaos.
Therefore, there are actually "safe zones" inside Castlevania. Some rooms will not give birth to magic creatures, or the magic creatures born are very weak and small in number.
This is also the only chance for non-extraordinary mortals to survive in Castlevania when exploring. First, they can rest; second, they can get supplies; third, they can find ways to bypass some powerful magic creature patrols, etc., to avoid certain death.
But this is only temporary. There is chaos pollution inside Castlevania. The longer you stay inside, the deeper you will be polluted by chaos. In the end, if you don't leave for a long time, you will lose yourself and turn into a chaos magic creature.
Now Wu Pifu can only hope that the bird landed in a safe zone, or at least not too deep. If it just turned into a bird, it could still temporarily save its life by hiding in the dark.
"Chirp, chirp!!"
Wu Pifu ignored the dozens of skeleton monsters surrounding him. He just exerted his blood energy and blood aura and roared with his voice from his throat using Dan Jin.
"Hide well! Wait for me! I'll be there in a moment!"
The next moment, Wu Pifu's back shook, and the big knife flew up more than three meters high. When it fell, he held the knife with one hand, stepped on his feet, and pounced in front of a skeleton monster. With a whistle, the skeleton monster didn't even see the shadow of the knife in his hand, and its entire body was smashed by the huge force, then directly granulated, powdered, and dissipated without a trace.
At the same time, when killing the first skeleton monster, the voice of the main brain came into Wu Pifu's mind.
"Event achieved."
"Sixth Era, Wu Pifu fell into the Castlevania region. Four days later, a chaos storm swept through, triggering the deep bloodline resonance of the bird he carried, and the bird was rolled into Castlevania."
"Wu Pifu entered Castlevania..."
"You set up a level-one shelter."
"You get a full random lottery reward."
"You get the qualification to awaken three maintenance personnel."
"You need to return to the world where the shelter is located every thirty days and stay for ten days."
Wu Pifu didn't speak. The big knife in his hand danced even more fiercely, as if it had turned into a white light curtain like jade, invincible!
At the other end, Daphne woke up. Just as she wanted to move, a hand covered her mouth.
Beside her, a young girl was looking nervously outside the crack.
The two of them were hiding behind a stone coffin, and in front of them, a headless knight was riding a horse past.
The entire corridor was gloomy and terrifying, full of stone coffins, broken bones, and corpses everywhere. This is...
Tomb area!
