(PS: Thanks to the leader Muyi9370 for the leader reward. I will add another chapter. Thank you again for your support.)
"The original Castlevania was not created by Dracula the Impaler, but existed long before the Age of Gods began, in an unknown era far before the birth of the gods."

"Each generation of Castlevania has a demon king, who absorbs people from ancient times to the present into the Castlevania area. Once you step into the Castlevania, you will never be able to leave. You can return to the real world through the nodes, but you will return to the Castlevania again over time... Listen carefully, it is not the Castlevania area. The next time you come back, you will be directly in the Castlevania."

"According to records, each time they return to the real world through a node, the time they spend will become shorter and shorter, and each time they return, they will go deeper into the Castlevania, until they are killed and transformed into a chaotic monster wandering in the Castlevania, or until they reach the last step, that is, kill the Demon King of the Castlevania, and this generation of the Castlevania will collapse and disappear."

"But all this has not ended, and it will never end, because the Demon City is the node of chaos and the source of pollution. 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. The Demon City will continue to exist until the next generation of 'visitors' kills the Demon King and becomes the Demon King..."

Following everyone's explanation, Wu Xianxiao finally understood the situation of the Demon City in this baseline reality 0.6 dream world.

This was no longer a powerful enemy that he could face, and this was only the baseline reality 0.6 dream world. He could not imagine how terrifying the 0.5, 0.4, or even 0.3 dream worlds were.

He also roughly understood the reason why Chu Minghao mentioned that the world below 0.7 of the baseline reality was a qualitative change.

In the dream world from 0.9 to 0.7, there are only weird things, monsters, and a few nightmares.

Perhaps some deep-level powerful beings have extended their tentacles to these high-level dream worlds, but if they want to exert their power, they can only drag these high-level dream worlds downwards, just like the Mother of No Birth, so the baseline reality 0.9 to 0.7 worlds are indeed much safer.

But starting from the 0.6 world... I don't know if it's only this Castlevania dream world, or if all dream worlds of 0.6 and below are like this. This level of dream world already has a constant and permanent source of pollution!

This is what frightened Wu Xianxiao the most.

He also roughly understood why Chu Minghao also failed in the baseline reality 0.6 dream world.

It is very simple to set up a first-level shelter, you can just find a house and buy it. However, a first-level or lower-level shelter will consume time. The first level will take ten days out of every thirty days, the second level will take seven days out of every thirty days, the third level will take five days, the fourth level will take three days, and the fifth level will take one day. If you only set up a first-level shelter, then setting up at most three will consume all your time.

This was also the reason why Chu Minghao reminded Wu Xianxiao and others not to easily set up too many shelters in the baseline reality of 0.9 or 0.8.

If Chu Minghao was not sure he could defeat the strongest enemy in that world and upgrade the shelter to the highest level, it would be a burden to him, so he naturally would not set up a low-level shelter.

As Wu Xianxiao listened to everyone's introduction to Demon City, he gradually understood Chu Minghao's situation. At the same time, he made up his mind not to establish a shelter in this world.

Late at night, everyone went back to their houses to rest, and Wu Xianxian was also assigned a house, a well-built brick and stone house, which was the residence of the ancient Greek man.

He brought Jiujiu and Daphne into the house and looked at the marble modules, carving tools, and some tools he couldn't name. Daphne said, "The original owner of the house was a golem master. This is a very ancient supernatural system that later evolved into puppet masters and summoners. These are the tools he used to make golems."

Wu Xianxiao found a chair and sat down at random, saying, "Daphne, you can find any room to stay in."

Daphne hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Wu Xianxiao and asked, "I've been wanting to ask you since a while ago... why are you so nice to me? Why are you helping me?"

Wu Xianxiao smiled cheerfully and said, "No big deal, just do it if you want to."

Daphne hesitated, and suddenly said, "Are you planning to do this to me..."

"That's right!"

Wu Xianxiao nodded affirmatively.

Daphne's face suddenly showed a panic expression, and she began to move back in her chair, muttering in a low voice: "It is true. I heard from those future people that some perverts will..."

“I want a dog!”

Wu Xianxiao said excitedly, "As far as I can remember, I wanted to have a big dog when I was a kid. It would be best if it had thick fur and was a little bigger. I could ride on the dog's back to go to school!"

"Ouch!"

Daphne pounced on Wu Xianxiao with a look of shame and anger, opening her mouth to bite him.

Wu Xianxiao smiled and put a finger on her head and said, "Isn't this very energetic? But from the look of you, you don't seem to be planning to enter the Demon City?"

Daphne couldn't bite Wu Xianxiao, she sat back unwillingly and said angrily: "Yes, at least I don't plan to go in now, because I'm too weak. Now I can't even beat the weakest monster inside... In the Demon City area, every full moon is a cycle, a small number of weak chaos monsters will be born around. I can beat these monsters. As long as I kill them slowly, I can gradually become stronger. Moreover, my bloodline is the pure royal bloodline of werewolves. As I age, I will also become stronger."

Wu Xianxiao hummed, and then asked, "So why did you want to enter the Demon City? Power? Wealth? Strength? Eternal life? Which one do you want?"

Daphne was silent for a long while, then she said quietly: "My parents entered the Demon City and never returned. They were both very strong, saint-level super-powerful people. It is impossible that they could not be found even during their first return. Because of their disappearance, the Silver Wolf Clan had a coup, and at the same time, some other dark races also began to target us..."

It seems that this little wolf girl has a lot of stories, and Wu Xianxiao really treats it as a story. He has decided to follow the large group into the Demon City to take a look, test it out, gain experience points for a few days, kill monsters for a few days, and see if he can get any good equipment.

But he would never set up a shelter in this world, so he was just a five-day visitor in this world, and it was basically impossible for him to come back after he left. Wu Xianxiao continued to talk as if it was a chat: "How did you know that your parents entered the Demon City? They suddenly disappeared and didn't come back. Maybe they were secretly killed by someone?"

Daphne immediately looked at Wu Xianxiao with hatred. After a moment, she lowered her head and said, "You are the weird one. As long as someone enters Demon City, their identity, name, and the era they came from will be recorded in the Sea of ​​Spirits. As time goes by, extraordinary people from any era can sense people who have entered Demon City but have not died from the Sea of ​​Spirits. So I am sure that my parents are in Demon City."

"At the same time, anyone who comes to the Demon City area, whether they are extraordinary or ordinary people, will receive information from the Spiritual Sea and know most of the rules of the Demon City. The rules introduced to you before are known to everyone, except you... as if you know nothing."

Wu Xianxiao was horrified and asked, "Is it so obvious?"

Daphne was too lazy to complain. She randomly found a small room and turned to Wu Xianxiao and said seriously, "I'm going to close the door. No, you are absolutely not allowed to open my door, or I will bite you to death!"

After saying that, Daphne entered the room, and then there was a rustling sound inside, as if someone was blocking the door with things in the room.

Wu Xianxiao didn't care about these at all. He was just thinking about what Daphne had just said.

As long as you enter the Demon Castle, your information will be recorded in the Sea of ​​Spirituality... This seems to be an extraordinary origin unique to this world?
Is this an alternative form of historical record?

"So, I can't enter the Castle of Demons? Once I enter, I might be able to fulfill the conditions for establishing the Sanctuary?"

Wu Xianxiao muttered to himself, and finally decided not to take the risk, even if it meant giving up on the points. After all, safety was the most important thing. This world was too complicated, with all the mythological age, the end giant, the eternal Castlevania, the chaos of the demon world... It sounded like a very awesome worldview. Any small BOSS that came out of this Castlevania might be able to kill gods and demons.

This kind of world should be left to awesome people like Chu Minghao. He is just a small mortal and hasn't even reached extraordinary status yet. What is he thinking?

With this thought in mind, Wu Xianxiao came to the master bedroom of the house, casually lay down on the bed to take a rest, teased Jiujiu again, and slowly fell asleep while it pecked his eyebrows.

The next day, Wu Xianxiao got up early and practiced boxing in the village. The villagers also got up one after another. Some went to work, some packed up their belongings, and some went to the blacksmith shop to exchange their food for some simple weapons and protective gear, and then started practicing.

There are more than one hundred people in the whole village, and more than eighty of them decided to break into the Demon Castle. Even if they died in it, it was better than being enslaved by extraordinary people in the future. The remaining thirty or so people seemed to be from ancient times or the Middle Ages. They were used to being enslaved, but they decided to stay in this village.

In a word, everyone has his own fate, and Wu Xianxiao should just treat it as a way to increase his knowledge and experience, just like reading a story.

It was not until noon that Wu Xianxiao saw the little wolf girl Daphne. She had found a leather outfit from somewhere. Although it still didn't look matched, it at least made her look like a human being. Although the sub-giant blacksmith was still hostile to her, she could now finally enter and leave the village freely.

Wu Xianxiao didn't care about that. He found the sub-giant blacksmith, handed his wild boar tusk to the blacksmith and said, "Can you help me transform this tusk into a broadsword?"

The sub-giant took the boar tusk, tapped it a few times with his fingers, found some instruments to test it, and said, "Well, it can be done. It's the tusk of a monster, and it's from a monster that has lived for more than 300 years. My skills can still make it into equipment. If it's more than 500 years old, I can't do it... What reward are you willing to pay?"

Wu Xianxiao asked, "Gold?"

The subgiant shook his head and said, "Gold has no noble value here. It can only be regarded as an ordinary metal... Go mining, or pick up the broken weapons and armor of the Chaos Monsters. I don't care about the quality, I only care about the weight. If it is pure metal, I want 1,000 kilograms. If it is ore, I want 10,000 kilograms. Is that okay?"

Wu Xianxiao asked curiously: "Can we mine here?"

"Of course." The sub-giant said: "Various geographical terrains will appear randomly in the Demon City area, and various mineral veins will also appear randomly... just wait a moment."

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

It really feels like playing a game.

Wu Xianxiao sighed like this,

He left the smithy with the bronze stone and pickaxe.

The sun was shining brightly at that moment, illuminating the gigantic Demon Castle in the distance, making it even more magnificent and... terrifying.

Wu Xianxiao gazed at the Devil's Castle in the distance, and after a while he suddenly smiled to himself.

"What are you thinking about, you little guy? Just focus on mining. It's enough to get a handy weapon in this dream world. You are just a passerby..."

Wu Xianxiao has made up his mind that he will never enter Demon City.

He then started to stroll around with Jiujiu, looking for mineral veins underground.
