Eternal Night

Chapter 109 Entering the Castlevania

Wu Xianxiao knocked on the blacksmith's door in silence.

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 would not be swept away by the chaos storm. However, he seemed to hate the chaos storm very much, so he only opened half of the door.

The sub-giant saw Wu Xianxiao and his expression, and immediately realized, "The wolf girl was swept away?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head slightly, then nodded and said, "Jiujiu who came with me was swept away, and the black energy on her body infected Daphne, and both of them were swept away."

The sub-giant was stunned for a moment, and said with a serious face: "Your bird is also a dark life? And the black energy on its body? This is a dark life with the blood of the True Ancestor!"

Wu Xianxiao did not ask about the True Ancestor or anything. Before, when he was free, he could just treat it as listening to a story and listen more and ask more questions, but at this time, he was already on the verge of exploding.

Wu Xianxiao simply asked, "Is my knife ready?"

The sub-giant saw that Wu Xianxiao had made a decision. He nodded and turned to go into the house. A moment later, he came out holding a big knife that was as white as jade.

This knife no longer has any fangs, and its entire body is as white as jade, and its style is somewhat similar to that of a Tang sword.

The sub-giant handed the sword to Wu Xianxiao and said, "The scabbard has not been made yet, and the inscription has not been engraved yet. It can only be considered a semi-finished product and is not worth the minerals you gave me..."

Wu Xianxiao waved his hand and said, "That's enough."

He turned around and was about to leave with the sword in his hand, but the subgiant threw a piece of bronze stone to him and said, "This is a tool for finding minerals. The more precious the mineral, the brighter the light it emits. I don't know what to give you. This is the most precious thing I have. It can be used to make up for the unfinished weapon. Take it."

Wu Xianxiao didn't say much. He took the bronze stone and strode out of the village.

At this time, some scattered villagers were looking at him from the windows, and the priest ran out holding an oil lamp.

"You're going to Demon City?"

The priest looked around and didn't see Jiujiu and Daphne. He seemed to realize something and asked directly.

Wu Xianxiao nodded. He didn't say much. He just tied the big knife to his back, then raised his hands and clasped his fists, saluted the priest, the giant, and the villagers present, and then strode towards the Demon Castle without saying a word.

Do something, don't do something.

Wu Xianxiao had a very clear bottom line in his mind.

He will not do evil at will because it goes against the bottom line of his humanity.

But he also does not have the ability to care about the lives of all people and save everyone at every turn, because he himself is just a struggling ant.

And so it is now.

If only the little wolf girl Daphne was dragged into the Demon Castle, he would only wish her the best, and when the five days were up, she would have to leave.

But Chuchu is different...

There was only determination and resolve in Wu Xianxiao's eyes.

Even if it's just for Jiujiu, let's build a shelter in this world!
Wu Xianxiao was extremely fast. Although he did not run at full speed along the way, his speed was at least 120 kilometers per hour. After a while, he arrived outside the Demon City. After running along the wall for a while, he saw a huge city gate that was at least 100 meters high.

The city was open without any guards or defenses.

Wu Xianxiao did not hesitate and strode into the city gate. As soon as he entered the city gate, Wu Xianxiao immediately sensed the changes keenly.

The inside and outside of the city gate seemed like two different worlds. Although there was no obvious change, Wu Xianxiao, who had already reached Dan Jin, could keenly sense the difference. This was a strange kind of change, not related to temperature, smell, humidity, gravity, light... and other physical laws, but a more wonderful change that he could not describe.

Combining what he knew about the relationship between pollution sources and intellect in this dream world, Wu Xianxiao felt that it should be the difference between spirituality inside and outside the gate of the devil's city, and the changes he perceived after entering it.

"…Is this spirituality?" Wu Xianxiao muttered silently.

Speaking of which, when he was in the Song Dynasty dream world before, when he entered the Wuyou Cave under the ground of Bianliang, he did feel some kind of cold change. That might also be a change in the concentration of spirituality, but the spirituality in the Song Dynasty dream world has more yin characteristics.

Wu Xianxiao's understanding of spirituality was still very superficial, and he didn't know whether it was applicable to the dream world or not. Naturally, he would not delve into it further at this time, and he strode towards the main gate of the building inside the city gate.

There is a European-style garden between the city gate and the main building. As Wu Xianxiao walked into it, ghost lights appeared in the gardens on both sides of the road, one or two, ten or twenty. In a short period of time, there were hundreds of ghost lights wandering around.

Wu Xianxiao didn't even look at these ghost fires. He just kept walking forward. Then the next moment, all the ghost fires swarmed over and hit him densely.

"Roar!" Wu Xianxiao didn't even look at him, just roared and continued walking forward.

The roar was like thunder and like a tiger roaring at the earth. After the roar, all the ghost fires stopped in mid-air and then disappeared. At this time, Wu Xianxiao had already walked to the main door of the main building. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door, and the door, which was more than ten meters high, opened immediately.

It was pitch black inside the gate, but as Wu Xianxiao pushed the door open and walked in, the candles on both sides and above his head began to light up one by one. Wu Xianxiao saw a huge hall, and at the end of the hall there were more than a dozen doors, which obviously led to different places.

Wu Xianxiao has talked with the priest, the sub-giant, and Daphne in the past few days about the situation inside Castlevania. Although he has decided not to enter Castlevania, he still wants to know something about it. After all, he is curious. What if he just treats it as a story?
According to them, heroes from every era who returned from Castlevania have records of Castlevania.

The interior space of Castlevania is chaotic, with one room as a separate area, and then dozens or hundreds of rooms forming the general area, which is generally divided into the entrance, corridor, sewer, grave area, reception room, library, arena, city lord's hall, clock tower, and the highest area.

The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters are. There are generally three to five elite monsters in each area, and then there is a regional commander-level monster to command everything. Ultimately, the strongest one is the Demon King, the master of this generation of Castlevania.

As for the strength of the monsters in Demon Castle, according to everyone's opinion, the elite monsters in the outermost area are slightly weaker than the saint level, and the commander-level monsters are slightly higher than the saint level. The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters are. Even the elite-level monsters in the deepest area may surpass the saint level, and the commander-level monsters are often divine heroes or demigods, and even the strongest demon king's left and right hands can reach the level of gods.

The combat power displayed by Wu Xianxiao was evaluated by everyone as being at the saint level specializing in the physical body, second only to a hero.

Wu Xianxiao was not clear about the power levels of this world and the levels of other extraordinary people. He had only heard others mention it. From the saint level onwards, they were saint, hero, divine hero, demigod, deity, and main god.

The priest specifically used the ancient Greek supernatural system to explain it. Taking the Trojan War as an example, the strongest hero Hector on the Trojan side was a hero, second only to the divine hero, while on the Athenian side, the strongest hero Achilles who killed Hector was a divine hero. Wu Xianxiao's strength was almost the same as that of the famous heroes in that war, but he was a third-rate character who would be killed by Hector in a few moves, but he was not a passerby soldier either.

One can imagine how deep the water in this demon city is and how terrifying the monsters are.

Even so, Wu Xianxiao still wants to break in!
As Wu Xianxiao stepped into the hall, the candlelight lit up, and then dozens of skeleton monsters appeared around him, some holding swords and shields, some holding spears, and some holding flails. Except for the lack of ranged weapons, they had almost all kinds of melee weapons.

This is the true interior of Castlevania, and these are the weakest monsters that greet newcomers.

According to the priests, these monsters will only guard this room and will not go to other rooms. They have no intelligence. Only elite monsters have a certain level of wisdom, and only commander-level monsters have complete intellect, but they are also greatly affected by chaos.

Therefore, there are actually "safe zones" inside Castlevania. Monsters will not be born in some rooms, or the monsters that are born are very weak and few in number.

This is also a life-saving place for people exploring in Demon Castle. First, they can rest, second, they can get supplies, and third, they can find ways to bypass some powerful monster patrols and avoid certain fatal dangers. This is also the only chance for non-extraordinary mortals to survive in Demon Castle.

But this is only temporary. There is chaos pollution in the Demon Castle. The longer you stay in it, the more deeply you will be polluted by chaos. In the end, if you do not leave for a long time, you will lose yourself and turn into a chaos monster.

Now Wu Xianxiao can only hope that Jiujiu falls into the safe zone, or at least not too deep. If he just turns into a bird, he can still save his life temporarily by hiding in the dark.

"Chirp!"

Wu Xianxiao ignored the dozens of skeleton monsters surrounding him. He just gathered his energy and blood, and roared from his throat with the power of Dan.

"Hide well! Wait for me! I'll be there in a moment!"

The next moment, Wu Xianxiao's back shook, and the big knife flew straight up more than three meters high. When it fell, he held the knife in one hand, stepped on the ground and pounced in front of a skeleton monster. With a whistling sound, the skeleton monster didn't even see the shadow of the knife in his hand, and the whole body was chopped into pieces by the huge force, and then directly granulated and powdered, and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, when killing the first skeleton monster, the voice of the main brain came into Wu Xianxiao's mind.

"The event has been accomplished."

"In the sixth era, Wu Xianxiao fell into the Demon City area. Four days later, a chaos storm swept through, triggering a deep blood resonance in the bird he brought with him, and the bird was drawn into the Demon City."

"Wu Xianxiao enters the Demon City..."

"You established a first-level shelter."

"You get a completely random lottery reward."

"You are qualified to awaken three maintenance personnel."

"You must return to the world where the shelter is located every thirty days and stay there for ten days."

Wu Xianxiao said nothing, but swung the sword in his hand even more violently, as if it had turned into a jade-like white light curtain, defeating anyone who came his way!
On the other end, Daphne came to, and just as she was about to move, a hand covered her mouth.

Next to her, a young girl was looking out of the crack nervously.

The two of them were hiding behind a sarcophagus, while in front of them, a headless knight was riding past on horseback.

The entire corridor was eerie and terrifying, with stone coffins, broken bones and corpses everywhere. This was...

Graveyard area!
