"No, I can understand you being a werewolf. I can even understand you turning into a husky, but why... a Samoyed?"

Wu Xianxiao held the Samoyed that was roaring and biting at him with one finger, and looked at the Samoyed left and right with extremely curious eyes. He even moved his fingers and turned the Samoyed over several times, looking it over from front to back, left to right, up and down.

There was first brutality in the Samoyed's eyes, then horror, then extreme shame and anger, and finally a numbness that was worse than death. Although it was still barking and biting, it seemed like it was just an inertia of the body.

Wu Xianxiao reached out and touched the Samoyed's forehead, which immediately made the Samoyed unable to move. Wu Xianxiao continued to talk to himself: "And the hair color is wrong, your hair color is brown, right? How come it is pure white after you become a dog?"

The desperate situation in the Samoyed's eyes had turned into despair, and it actually wanted to break away from Wu Xianxiao's hand and run away. However, Wu Xianxiao's hand did not move at this time, and it could not move its whole body. It could only roar angrily, but because it was a Samoyed and a child, the sound sounded soft and cute no matter how it was listened to.

Wu Xianxiao noticed that even though the Samoyed wanted to escape, its eyes would still look towards his leather bag from time to time.

The so-called meat probably doesn’t refer to the meat on his body, but to the pig demon meatballs in the leather pocket, right?

Moreover, Wu Xianxiao did not feel any murderous intent, although... a Samoyed running over would not have much killing power.

"So... you want to eat meat?"

Wu Xianxiao held the Samoyed with one hand and took out a meatball with the other.

The Samoyed's eyes were full of shame and despair, but when he saw the meatballs, the saliva in his mouth immediately flowed out, but this time he stopped barking and kept his mouth tightly closed.

"Want to eat?"

Wu Xianxiao handed the meatball to the Samoyed's mouth and put it close to its nose, but the Samoyed stubbornly kept its mouth shut.

Wu Xianxiao thought about it, took a small bite, and said while chewing, "It's delicious."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The Samoyed barked wildly, and while it was barking, a small piece of the meatball was stuffed into its mouth.

The Samoyed was in a daze, then it immediately lowered its head, and tears as big as beans rolled down from its eyes. It took two bites of the meatball in its mouth and swallowed it into its stomach.

Wu Xianxiao then let go of the Samoyed, and the white puppy whimpered and turned into a little girl again. She lowered her head and her body twitched.

"Did you choke?" Wu Xianxiao asked.

The little girl lowered her head and said hoarsely, "Don't talk to me!"

"Would you like some water?" Wu Xianxiao asked again.

The little girl said with anger in her voice: "I told you not to talk to me!"

"Hahaha, it's a pity that I have no water on me." Wu Xianxiao said again.

The little girl immediately pounced on Wu Xianxiao, whimpering and screaming in her mouth as she did so. Then Wu Xianxiao slapped her on the head. Her little hands and feet could not reach Wu Xianxiao at all.

The little girl was angry at first, then felt aggrieved, and then suddenly burst into tears.

Wu Xianxiao laughed and released his palm, then looked around and asked, "Can I ask where this place is?"

The little girl cried for a while, then she wiped her tears with her linen clothes and made a skirt gesture like a medieval lady in Europe and America, saying, "Daphne, Princess of the Silver Wolf Clan, thank you for the meat... I will repay you later!"

After saying that, Daphne turned around and was about to run, but her head was pressed by a hand again, and she couldn't move a step. She kept reaching out to scratch and hit the hand on her head, but she couldn't move it at all, not even a scratch on her skin.

Wu Xianxiao continued to smile and asked, "Where is this place?"

Daphne's eyes were filled with humiliation, but her attitude towards Wu Xianxiao could not be the same as at the beginning. After struggling for a while, she knew that she had met a ruthless person, so she simply sat down and said, "Demon City, this is the Demon City area."

Wu Xianxiao also loosened his hand because the Jiujiu on his shoulder began to peck him.

"That region? That country?" Wu Xianxiao asked.

Daphne shook her head and said, "There is no such region or country. This is Demon City... It is a place beyond time and space. I heard from my grandmother that the original Demon City seemed to be in Romania, but after the collapse of the original Demon City, the new Demon City transcended time and space."

Wu Xianxiao frowned. The word Castlevania reminded him of a game he had played before. As for transcending time and space...

He asked, "Does it mean that it is possible to enter here from any place and at any time?"

Daphne tried to put on a serious expression on her childish face and said, "Yes, that's right. From the time when Jesus was crucified to the Middle Ages, to the Age of Exploration, to my time, people from any era could have entered here. From Northern Europe to Western Europe, to Black Africa, to the New World, people from any place could have entered here."

Wu Xianxiao let out a breath and turned to look at the huge castle.

Castlevania.

I don't know if it's a dream world based entirely on the game plots he knows, or a mish-mash of some kind, but no matter which Castlevania it is, its horror is unimaginable.

If Castlevania is played completely according to the game plot, then its final boss, the vampire Count Dracula, is a demon-level existence, and a real demon.

Although he has played two or three Castlevania games, he did not delve too deeply into the plot. He only knew that Dracula was the devil, not a simple count as in other vampire derivative works, and that there was even the god of death under him!
A terrifying existence of this level is actually a monster in the baseline reality 0.6 world?

This difficulty level is too great, isn’t it?!
Daphne didn't plan to run away at this time. She tried to control her fear, walked to Wu Xianxiao and said, "There are only three ways to get to this Devil's Castle. First, those who have great desires, longing for power, wealth, and immortality can come here. Second, those who can get here through black magic. Third, those who have a causal relationship with Devil's Castle can get here. So, who are you?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head. Instead, he looked at Daphne with interest and said, "It's you who are the most surprised. How could such a little kid come to Devil's Castle? And from what you said, it seems that you are also from the outside world? Didn't you escape from Devil's Castle?"

Daphne also looked at the Demon City and said, "I came from the outside world, and I have my reasons for coming... The Demon City is connected to the Demon Realm, and most of the things inside have no consciousness, only the chaos of the Demon Realm. If you are something that came out of it, I'm afraid any ghost or skeleton monster can easily kill you!"

Wu Xianxiao smiled and said, "What about the werewolves?" Daphne immediately said excitedly, "Werewolves are even better! All werewolves are intermediate monsters, which are simply beyond the imagination of mortals like you!"

"Ha, so...it turned into a Samoyed?" Wu Xianxiao said with a laugh.

"Ouch!"

Daphne bit Wu Xianxiao, but Wu Xianxiao held her head down again.

Wu Xianxiao looked around and asked, "Apart from you, is there anyone else around here?"

Daphne couldn't bite Wu Xianxiao, and said angrily: "There is a village that has been built by people who have entered here for countless centuries... Go east and you can reach the village in half a day. Now, let me go!"

Wu Xianxiao said cheerfully, "Let's go to that village together. We can't stay in this wilderness forever, right?"

Daphne tilted her head and said, "I'm not going! You go by yourself!"

Wu Xianxiao looked at Daphne, who was wearing tattered linen clothes. If you look closely, you can see bruises on her skin, as if she had been hit by something heavy.

"...So, because of being naughty, you had conflicts with the villagers?" Wu Xianxiao asked.

Daphne tilted her head and said nothing.

Wu Xianxiao smiled and asked, "Did he get caught stealing food?"

Daphne growled, "You know nothing... I'm a werewolf! I'm of the dark bloodline! How could humans not be hostile to me? Even though the Vatican had issued the Declaration of Intellectual Life more than a hundred years ago, there were too many people from the Middle Ages and ancient times, and some people from the future didn't even know about the Declaration of Intellectual Life. They feared me, were hostile to me, drove me away, and even robbed me... I wish I could kill them all!"

Wu Xianxiao laughed and said, "A Samoyed killed a group of people?"

"Ouch!"

Daphne bit Wu Xianxiao's empty mouthfuls again.

A few seconds later, Daphne still obediently followed Wu Xianxiao and walked towards the village. She really walked obediently. When Wu Xianxiao put his hand on her head, she could not control her body. She could only do whatever Wu Xianxiao asked her to do.

The two men and the bird headed towards the village. Wu Xianxiao asked as they walked, "So how did you get here?"

Daphne kept her mouth shut stubbornly.

Wu Xianxiao asked again: "Can we leave Demon City from here?"

Daphne then said, "It's possible, but it's no different from not being able to do it."

Wu Xianxiao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Daphne looked at the Castlevania and said, "This is equivalent to a huge god-level magic barrier. Unless you are stronger than the Demon King in the Castlevania and the monsters he controls, you will not be able to break this barrier."

"In addition to breaking it directly, any magic barrier will have so-called nodes. To leave the Castlevania area, you must enter the Castlevania, where the nodes of the barrier are distributed. They are usually materialized as black hearts. Through these black hearts, you can leave the Castlevania and return to your point in time and space."

"But this is temporary. As long as you enter the Castlevania area, even if you don't enter the Castlevania, you have a cause and effect relationship with the Castlevania. This is equivalent to a magic contract. As time goes by, you will dream about the Castlevania, and then eventually you will come back here."

"Don't even think about escaping. You'll never be able to escape."

Wu Xianxiao thought about this information silently, and suddenly asked, "What about killing the Demon King? What about killing the strongest Demon King in Demon City?"

Daphne looked at Wu Xianxiao with a mocking expression and said, "You wish you could kill the Demon King. He is the Chaos Node that connects the Demon Realm and the real world! Of course, if you can really kill the Demon King, then this generation of Demon Castle will collapse, and you will naturally not be bound by the Demon Castle anymore. But can you?"

Wu Xianxiao smiled happily and said nothing.

Daphne didn't say anything, but just followed Wu Xianxiao silently, and she didn't even notice that Wu Xianxiao's hand had left her head.

Suddenly, Wu Xianxiao asked, "Heroic Spirit? Crowned?"

Daphne gave him a strange expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

"No, it's nothing."

Wu Xianxiao smiled and felt a little relieved. He suddenly asked, "Come to think of it, why did you attack me just now? Did you want to eat the meatballs in my bag?"

Daphne was silent for a moment, but still said frankly: "Well... I'm so hungry. The meatball you gave me has a strange ingredient that attracts me, and..."

"And?" Wu Xianxiao asked curiously.

"You looked so weak that I couldn't help but attack you."

"..."

At this time, the village had appeared in front, but there were flames and explosions just at the entrance of the village.

Wu Xianxiao's eyes widened as he saw a four-meter-tall mecha that looked a bit like a Zaku being smashed by a three-meter-tall giant with a hammer. It then fell apart and exploded with a bang. A man rolled out of the mecha and fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive for a while.

No, it's a real "hand-disassembled" Gundam, no, it's a Zaku! ?
