Eternal Night

Chapter 108 Leisurely Days
Wu Xianxiao hasn't had such a leisurely life for a long time.

This dream world is very special. It is a closed world and not very big.

Castlevania itself is a huge source of pollution. All monsters, weirdness, horror, and even nightmares are trapped inside Castlevania.

Perhaps there are monsters and nightmares in the world outside at different times, but in this Castlevania area, only the Castlevania has monsters and nightmares, which means that other places in the Castlevania area are safe.

According to Daphne, every full moon, some low-level weak monsters will appear, and even Daphne's Samoyed can defeat them, so they pose no threat to him at all.

For Wu Xianxiao, a dream world where he doesn't have to worry about sudden nightmare attacks is like a vacation.

He dug ore every day. Ten thousand kilograms of ore might be a huge amount for others, but it was nothing to him. He found a mining site after a stroll that day. He dug a mountain of ore in the afternoon. He didn't know how much there was. He went back to the village to borrow a cart and made three trips back and forth. In the evening, the blacksmith had already started forging a wild boar tusk knife for him.

The mining goal was achieved in one day, and he had only been in this world for two days. He still had three days to return to Gaia. Wu Xianxiao 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 in a soft voice and were all very enthusiastic. It was really comfortable to live safely here.

On the third day after coming to this world, Wu Xianxiao got up in the morning to practice boxing, then went outside the village to find a big tree to chop down, made a rocking chair with his own hands, and sat on the roof of the house rocking leisurely. In the afternoon, he practiced boxing for a while, then lay down for two hours, and continued again in the evening...

"No, this is too leisurely."

On the fourth day after coming to this world, Wu Xianxiao made up his mind that he still needed to work hard on his cultivation, so he practiced half an hour more in the morning and half an hour less in the afternoon...

Well, sitting on a recliner, making a pot of pine needle tea, and enjoying the breeze is really comfortable.

Wu Xianxiao finished a pot of pine needle tea, and seeing that it was about five o'clock in the afternoon, he strolled around the village and found that there were several teams of people gathered in the village, each cooperating in training. The sub-giants actually gave them some instructions from time to time, and the priests leisurely introduced them to some anti-demon and exorcism rituals, and also sold a batch of holy water that had been in stock for who knows how long.

The villagers told Wu Xianxiao that tonight was the night of the full moon. On every full moon night, the monsters in the Demon Castle would become violent and their strength would increase. At the same time, a few monsters would be born sparsely in the wilderness outside the Demon Castle. These monsters were relatively weak and it was basically impossible for them to drop any fantasy items, but killing them would still increase their strength a little.

These villagers are all ordinary mortals. For them, the monsters in the wild can greatly improve their physical fitness, and basically make them strong and capable men. In this way, when the full moon night is over, when they enter the Demon Castle again, their survival rate will be greatly improved.

"Every thirty days there is a full moon night that only lasts for one night. During this night, various monsters will be born and a chaos storm will occur. The magic circle of this village is to prevent the chaos storm. Generally, the chaos storm will last for about thirty minutes to an hour, and then the monsters will appear."

The priest and Wu Xianxiao sat on the rocks beside the open space. Both of them seemed unusually relaxed. They chatted while watching the villagers train.

The so-called training is actually nothing more than coordination. Those holding shields, bows, and long weapons, even if they are just mortals, with such tacit coordination, some low-level monsters will not be scary at all.

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

The priest smiled and said, "I came in through the magic ritual. Didn't I say that before? The Church confirmed the existence of the Apocalypse Titan through the Sea of ​​Spirits, so they opened up the forbidden code and expanded the registration of extraordinary people. Originally, I was only slightly more spiritual than ordinary people and couldn't be a priest at all, but the Church did this, and I became a priest. After a year of training, we, a group of new extraordinary people, entered the Demon City ritual."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Send them all in?"

"How can it be."

The priest shook his head. He had gotten used to Wu Xianxiao's lack of common sense. He said, "This is probabilistic. It's not 100% certain that you can enter the Demon City area. About one in a hundred people may enter. The order I received from the Holy See is that after entering, you must stay in the Demon City area and maintain the magic circle here. I don't need to enter the Demon City. To put it simply, this village is the novice village for the Holy See to enter the Demon City on a large scale."

Wu Xianxiao looked around and said, "But you are the only one from the Vatican that I see?"

The priest pointed at the Devil's Castle in the distance and said, "Because everyone has entered it. Another thing is that Devil's Castle is independent of time. About six months ago, I received more than 30 people from the Holy See, and before that, I received more than a dozen people. More than six months have passed, and I haven't met anyone since. God knows how Devil's Castle calculates time."

Wu Xianxiao nodded and indicated that he understood. Then he looked at the sub-giant not far away and said, "What about you? Why don't you enter the Demon City?"

The sub-giant was silent for a long while before he said, "Because I have nowhere to go... My race is gradually weakening. Before I entered the Demon City, there were only three newborns in the six sub-giant tribes in ten years. This proves that the spiritual sea has begun to reject mythical bloodline life. The end of the era also means that mythical life is gradually disappearing."

"The high-level mythical creatures have all gone to the outer realm with the gods, but low-level mythical creatures like the sub-giants cannot go. What's the point of going back? If I go back, I will just watch my race become extinct, so I plan to be a blacksmith here."

Wu Xianxiao continued to listen to the story.

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

"Ouch!"

The Samoyed began to try frantically to bite Wu Xianxiao, but Wu Xianxiao used his fingers to push it forward and prevented it from moving forward. Then she simply ignored him and tilted her head to look into the distance.

The priest smiled and said, "She is a dark life form, a werewolf, a vampire, a zombie from the East, a fishman from the abyss, a half-fishman, and the red-haired female pirate you killed. They are all dark lives, and they were born when the chaos and the spiritual sea first came into contact and separated, and they are more likely to infect chaos."

Wu Xianxiao asked, "So what?" The priest shook his head and said, "When the chaos storm rolls up, the dark life forms with purer bloodlines will be affected the most. In addition to becoming more violent, crazy, and stronger, they will also be easily drawn into the Demon City."

"Get involved?" Wu Xianxiao asked doubtfully.

The priest nodded and said, "Yes, just like being absorbed by the Demon City, being directly drawn into it, and then being contaminated by the chaos in it, turning into a Chaos Monster. Of course, this also depends on the resistance of the Intellect, and it also takes time. If you can find the Return Room during this period, you can temporarily avoid turning into a Chaos Monster."

Wu Xianxiao looked at Daphne and said, "So after you become a dog, you can resist?"

"Ouch!"

The little wolf girl bit Wu Xianxun frantically again, but was still held back by a finger.

The priest laughed and helped Daphne explain, "In fact, when dark creatures transform into their original forms, they are more susceptible to Chaos infection and are more likely to be swept into the Demon City by the Chaos Storm. However, she is the royal bloodline of the White Wolf Clan. Royal bloodlines will not transform into werewolves, but into giant wolves. This is pure wildness and mythical life. Their resistance is indeed stronger than that of humans."

Wu Xianxiao pointed at the little wolf girl Daphne who turned around again and said loudly: "But she turned into a Samoyed. Does that mean that Samoyed is also a mythical creature!? Or how about you adopt her?"

"So how about I help you pick a name? Let's call you Goudan, it's easy to raise."

“Ahhhhh!!!”

After dinner, Wu Xianxiao leisurely practiced boxing for a while. Looking at Daphne lying listlessly in the living room, he smiled and said to her, "You were not involved in the previous few full moon nights. Obviously, turning into a Samoyed can really resist the chaos storm. And this time you have entered this village magic circle. Your resistance is stronger, isn't it?"

Daphne was too lazy to pay attention to Wu Xianxiao's calling her Samoyed. She just lay listlessly on the ground, her body trembling from time to time.

Wu Xianxiao sat next to Daphne and said, "I'm going to leave tomorrow, so I'm saying goodbye to you in advance. I guess we won't meet again. I hope you can find your parents and get what you want."

Daphne looked at Wu Xianxiao in confusion. Wu Xianxiao naturally knew what she meant, so he smiled and said, "No, I don't want to enter the Demon City. It's too scary in there. I've decided to be a little timid and hide a little. Sorry, I won't go in."

Daphne was even more confused. She barked and Wu Xianxiao nodded and said, "Yes, I have another way to leave."

As he spoke, he took out a conch, laughed and said, "Magical conch, besides entering the Castlevania and finding the Return Room, or killing the Demon King of the Castlevania, is there any other way to leave here?"

"...wait five days."

The magical conch contains the sound of ocean waves mixed with a female voice.

Wu Xianxiao laughed and said, "See, the magical conch said so."

Daphne looked at Wu Xianxiao as if he were an idiot.

Nothing happened after that. After Wu Xianxiao finished his midnight snack, he leisurely swayed on the recliner, while Jiujiu lay on his chest with half-closed eyes. It was a rare moment of relaxation for both man and bird.

We will return to Gaia tomorrow, and then we will continue to be busy and face dangers. Today is a rare moment of warmth.

Gradually, the wind started to blow outside the house, and Wu Xianxiao saw a light rising from the ground, and a strong wind blew outside the village.

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

As Wu Xianxiao was talking, he looked outside with interest. Then, at this moment, he heard a panicked chirping sound behind him.

He turned his head suddenly and saw that there was a layer of dark aura wrapped around Jiujiu's body and body. Even though a large amount of white light rolled up from the ground of the house, trying to pull Jiujiu, the black aura in Jiujiu's body was extremely strong. When it merged with the external black aura, it was directly rolled up and broke through the roof. At the same time, the black aura spread everywhere and disappeared when it met Wu Xianxiao, but a lot of it contaminated Daphne and then merged into her body.

"Dark creatures, dark creatures..."

Wu Xianxiao's energy and blood immediately exploded at the same time, and he broke through the wall and rushed out of the house. He was more than a hundred meters away in one step, but no matter how fast he was, there was no trace of Jiujiu in front of him. At the same time, another object from the house was rolled into the sky. Wu Xianxiao could only watch the panicked Daphne rolled to a height of a hundred meters and thrown towards the Demon Castle.

"Are demons... also dark creatures?!"

Wu Xianxiao gritted his teeth and looked at the Demon Castle in the distance, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent.
