This isn't a souls-like game at all.

While Yuangungun was dealing with the centipede's corpse, he flew to the hole diagonally above the rock wall.

To his surprise, there was an ancient and mottled holy monument in the cave.

"So this is where Donas was buried... Seriously, I thought that person was eaten by the giant centipede."

After lighting up the holy monument, Ye Yiyi walked around the cave again and found many natural furniture made of rocks, such as tables, chairs, beds and toilets.

"This must be the work of Heavenly Craftsmanship..."

In addition, there is a workbench in the corner filled with a large number of strange-looking mechanical creations.

Ye Yiyi searched around and found a well-preserved metal book.

“What a heavy book!”

The book was wide and thick, and the pages inside were all iron plates with characters engraved on them. Ye Yiyi couldn't even pick it up on the Mage ship, so he had to switch to the Strength ship.

“Is this the weight of knowledge?”

He looked at the light curtain with emotion.

[The Casting Experience of the Mechanical Craftsman "Donas"]

Item Description: A metal book that records forging experiences.

After being handed over to the blacksmith in the Cursed Temple, its casting ability can be improved.

The group of craftsmen was one of the three main pillars of the era of land states.

Mechanical Craftsmen are experts in mechanical creation and skilled servants.

High-level craftsman Donas is one of the best.

It is said that she was invited to participate in the casting of puppets and made many remarkable achievements.

As a result, he was appreciated by Master Wang Xiti and was allowed to work in the workshop.

"So, this Donas is a senior craftsman under Xiti."

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment, put away the thick book, left the dung beetle to look after Yuanyuangun, and returned to the Cursed Hall through the holy monument to find the old blacksmith.

But he arrived at an unfortunate time. The saint said that the old blacksmith had returned to the big furnace to get some materials and tools, and happened to be not in the hall at the moment.

Ye Yiyi was not in a hurry. He left the thick book to the saint and asked her to pass it on to the old blacksmith after he came back.

What surprised him was that the iron book that he couldn't even lift with his wizard's trumpet was as light as a feather in the hands of the saint, as if it had no weight at all.

Recalling that when the Saint converted his true spirit echo for him, she also directly took the converted weapon in her hand, he suddenly understood something.

But don't underestimate the saint's power just because she looks weak.

After all, she is not a simple character as she can stand out from a group of gravekeepers and become a saint without being a gravekeeper.

Returning from the Cursed Hall to Donas's burial place, Yuangungun had just finished collecting the centipede remains.

Due to its larger size, it takes more time to process.

Fortunately, this type of processing is not restricted by location and status, and it can operate normally even if the other party is placed in a four-dimensional chrysanthemum.

At the same time, Ye Yiyi can also directly check its working status through the light curtain, and even directly store the obtained materials into the four-dimensional chrysanthemum after completing the processing.

"I finally understand why it's called portable."

He couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"If I had gotten this thing from the beginning, I wouldn't have to play dissection games with millipedes with a knife."

Not to mention getting covered in fishy yellow bug fluids!

No wonder it is said that the group of craftsmen is one of the three pillars of the era of land nations. With such a skilled slave by your side, how much trouble can be saved when going out for adventure!

After crawling out from the crevice and returning to the starting position, Ye Yiyi glanced at the small town in the distance with only sporadic lights, and then opened the light curtain map.

The one in the ancient city of Bona is the base structure of the folding tower. Ye Yi had read the light curtain one by one before and knew that the base structure should be repaired last.

After being activated, the repaired calculation components will restart, and then activate the internal magic program to make the folding tower reappear in the world.

Ye Yiyi still doesn’t know how to implement it specifically, but it’s definitely right to do it in the order mentioned.

Therefore, he needed to repair another "warehouse space" first, and then go to the ancient city of Bona to repair the base components.

"As for the location of the warehouse... well, it seems to be on the northwest edge of the Quhe Grand Canyon. It seems quite far away, so let's go take a look first."

He did not call out the little fish for transportation, but instead transformed himself into a colorless cloud, wrapped up the dung beetle and flew towards the northwest.

About half an hour later, he arrived at the edge of the canyon, directly above the direction shown on the light screen map.

Looking down from the sky, a small river reflected the light of the eternal moon and flowed slowly, dividing the towering rocky mountains with no grass and the lush forest into two distinct parts.

He looked around, frowned, called out the light screen map, and enlarged it to look at it.

"Is this location not a specific location, but a range?"

The map does not show the specific location of the "warehouse space", but instead draws a dark area that includes the rocks, rivers and forests at the foot.

"You must be kidding. The area is so large, how am I supposed to find it?"

It would be easy to find a physical entity like a machine, but he didn't even know what a space-time creation like the "warehouse space" looked like or what it was. How could he find it?

After thinking for a moment, he waved his fingers, performed the Crescent Moon Inquiry Technique, and summoned a crescent moon above his head.

“Looking for warehouse space.”

He gave the order, but saw thick clouds coming from all directions, covering the crescent moon.

"No? No, the detection was blocked!"

Ye Yiyi felt in his heart that there was an inexplicable fluctuation in the dark that was interfering with the investigation.

But it makes sense, he is not the only one looking for someone to repair the Folding Tower, other people are doing similar things.

As for the warehouse space, as the name suggests, it is an extremely important facility. Perhaps some extremely valuable items are hidden in it.

If he were the one hiding, he would also use magic to avoid being discovered.

"But this is a bit difficult..."

He looked up at the crescent moon obscured by clouds and mist, and asked from a different angle, but to his surprise, not only were all the searches that ultimately pointed to the warehouse space blocked, but even the searches for materials and other items were also ineffective.

"So, the interference wave isn't just targeting the warehouse?"

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the fluctuations were emitted by the warehouse space itself."

"It seems that we can only look for it bit by bit."

He sighed slightly, opened the range of the cosmic aura to the maximum, then lowered the altitude and began to eliminate the area little by little starting from the rock wall.

But after working all night until the eternal moon set and the sun rose, and having explored almost all the land within the range, he still didn't find anything unusual.

After working hard all night without any results, even he was a little tired.

I simply went down to the river, washed my face, caught a few fish, skewered them with branches, lit a fire and roasted something to eat.

"That's weird."

He squatted on a rock by the river, nibbling on the perfectly grilled fish, staring at the gurgling river and the dung beetles that were feasting on the grilled fish.

"Have I come to the wrong place?"

Such doubts inevitably arose in his mind, but he quickly overturned them.

The information provided by the algorithm is unlikely to be wrong. It is probably that he did not use the right method, or missed some crucial steps and failed to meet the conditions he was looking for.

"Warehouse space... space..."

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, and he seemed to have grasped some crucial information.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!!"

He showed a look of surprise and was about to get up when he heard the sound of grass being pushed aside in the distance, as well as several footsteps of varying weights, speeds and tempos.

Then, he heard a faint but clear human voice.

"Look, I told you there's smoke in this direction. There must be someone over there!"

"That's hard to say. What if it's a beast that can make fire?"

"How could that be? Even if there is, it's in the canyon over there. How could it be in this forest..."

people?

Ye Yiyi was inexplicably surprised. There was no village or shop in this place, and it was completely deserted. How could someone come here on purpose?

Could it be that he is also looking for the warehouse space?

While the opponent was still some distance away, he quickly took off his mage suit and put on a mercenary suit, and asked the dung beetle to hide.

He waited until the other party came closer before pretending to hear a sound, drew his sword from his waist, and looked back hurriedly.

Five or six men dressed as mercenaries were walking out of the forest behind him.

"who are you?!"

Ye Yiyi pretended to be panicked, and his eyes swept across, finally landing on one of the bald men who was carrying a long spear, a large shield on his back, and had a sinister face. His pupils trembled.

"Patch?!"

Chapter 562 Patch's performance.

Why does that mercenary look so much like Patch?

Ye Yiyi pretended to be surprised and doubtful on the surface, but he was also surprised in his heart.

Players who have played Soul Journey will definitely be familiar with the character Patch.

Just like every Souls game has a "family heirloom" like the Moonlight Greatsword, to a certain extent, Patch is also the same "family heirloom".

He appears in almost every Soul game and is always insidious and cunning. His must-have trick is to kick the player's character off a cliff.

But the question is, why is he here now? Even teaming up with a group of mercenaries?

Are they also looking for "warehouse space"?

Ye Yiyi remained silent, paying attention to the behavior of the mercenaries while thinking in his heart.

He remembered that when Patch first appeared in the game, it was in an ancient ruin in the Kingdom Alliance, not in the Iron Kite Knight Kingdom which had little presence.

The ruins were once an abandoned base of the Curse Controllers. The interior was occupied by stagnant and evil cursed creatures and was extremely dangerous.

The first time the player encounters Patch is outside the base.

At that time, Patch will pretend to be injured and ask the player for help, hoping that he will go deep into the base and get him a unique cursed token.

Once the player has explored the base, found the cursed derivative and handed it over to the other party, Patch's side quest will officially begin.

Later, the player will continue to meet each other in various ruins eroded by the curse. At that time, he will say that his injuries have not healed and he cannot fight, so he chooses other ways to support the unknown hero who removes the curse.

Patch Store is now open for business!

It is worth mentioning that it is also the only store in the game where you can purchase unlimited "junk scraps".

Of course, in addition to selling items, Patch will also ask players to continue looking for cursed derivatives.

When the player goes to explore another ancient site and arrives at a ravine suspension bridge at the northeast end of the south border.

Patchy will use classic rhetoric to lure the player to the cliff, and then kick him off the cliff.

Only this time it wasn't meant with malice, but was another form of admonition.

The reason is that the ancient ruins on the opposite side of the cliff are the base of a curse-controller, and a king-chooser is hidden in it.

As for why Patch knew this information, the reason was very simple.

Because he is a name seeker who has "surrendered" to the Curse Master organization and is working for the Curse Master.

The cursed derivatives that he had previously asked players to help collect were actually collected by Patch himself at the request of the Curse Control Organization.

But that guy didn't want to deal with something as extremely dangerous as a curse, and he happened to meet the player, so he took the player as a scapegoat.

Although the character controlled by the player is a mute, he is really strong.

Even the curse master dare not directly touch the stagnant curse, but for the player, it is just a piece of cake. He can easily explore the ruins and get what he wants.

During this series of explorations and tasks, Patch also realized that the player was really trying to remove the curse, so he kicked the player, not wanting him to seek his own death.

Later, when the player kills the Kingchooser in the ancient ruins and comes out, Patch will say with a look of surprise and complexity.
