Chapter 4: Old London

The Healing Church is now a small church that has just developed in London, and there is also the British tradition of Catholicism on top of the Healing Church, of course, because they do not recognize the existence of the Pope, so they are called Protestantism by the churches on the European continent.

It is undeniable that the healing of the church in the face of the Anglican Church has indeed done a little, but there seems to be no way for the whole of the United Kingdom to do so in this plague.

So a small church of a dozen scholars from Byron Weis, a place that no one had ever heard of, grew rapidly in London.

Of course, Meng Haoran asked for these news casually on the road, because few men would refuse the inquiry made to him by such a beautiful girl.

And on the way to the Healing Church, Meng Haoran got an astonishing fact, that is, there was no hunter profession in London in the real dream, and it was the first time that such a large-scale weird plague appeared.

It was a plague that didn't even work with medicine, and I heard that someone had already heard the roar of the beast at night.

It's May 24, 1819, and for some reason, Meng Haoran has seen this time reminder on the street many times.

There seems to be nothing unusual about London today, except for the horror of the people during the Great Plague.

If anything, it was the looming fog and the vanished moon in the sky, and the whole of London was shrouded in red mist.

Despite the pandemic, many factories in London show no signs of shutting down, which is a classic example of a desperate need for money.

The Healing Church is very easy to find, but at the moment their location is in a small two-story building, they are like any church that wants to come to London, the capital of the United Kingdom, the center of the world, to preach, and they are foreigners, and the Healing Church that has just come here has been targeted intentionally or unintentionally by the Protestants, the largest church force in the region.

Because there are no priests in the Healing Church who do not believe in God, they believe that the blood of the ancient gods and the superior can cure all diseases, and they preach that the use of this blood can relieve people from suffering and achieve transcendence.

At the moment, the church for healing is just being rolled out and is severely understaffed, but they are not as busy as they imagined at the moment, because most people who have contracted the plague have gone to hospitals and larger churches for help.

If it's really busy, the Healing Church won't be advertised in the newspapers, and the Healing Church is still a non-profit organization, so life can be said to be very tight.

To be honest, this two-story building is not as grand as Joseph's Clinic, where Archbishop Lawrence, who heals the church in the game, is now personally selling blood cures to everyone who comes to ask for help from the plague!

When Meng Haoran wanted to step here, he suddenly felt a strong layer of prohibition.

At this time, Meng Haoran saw the warning of the Ninth Book of Art: the soul traveler, the dream adventurer, my contractor, this is a restricted scene at the current time node.

Meng Haoran was taken aback and asked, "Since this is an open Sand River world, why can't I enter the current healing church."

The Ninth Book of Art answers: Because in previous dreams, you have become a hunter.

But at the current point in time, there is no hunter profession in London in real dreams, in fact, not only London in real dreams, but also in the entire real dream world, there is no hunter profession.

If you enter it now, there will be a paradox, that is, you will become the first hunter in the real dream world, so since you have become the first hunter in the real dream world, who taught you to guide you to become a hunter in the main dream world?

Meng Haoran fell silent at this time, as an ordinary girl, she really couldn't cope with the situation in front of her, so she had to continue to ask for help from the Ninth Art Book: So now that the two of us belong to a contractual relationship, can you tell me what to do next?

The Ninth Book of Art asks rhetorically: Who is Meng Haoran the first hunter in the game?

Meng Haoran thought for a moment, and then said: The first hunter in the game should be Geman.

The Ninth Book of Art: Yes, in the game, the first hunter is Geman, but it is not clear how Geman became the first hunter in the game, and if you can somehow guide Geman to become the first hunter, then it is not a paradox that you become a hunter.

Meng Haoran said: But in the game, Geman is already an old hunter, how can I guide him?

The Ninth Book of Art: Meng Haoran, I don't know if you have ever paid attention to time!

It was 24 May 1819, and that day had taken place, at least for the United Kingdom.

It was on this day that Empress Victoria was born, but today she is only a newborn child, and she is not the future queen who will completely elevate Britain to an empire on which the sun never sets.

So you're not in the game, you're at the beginning of the game.

The beginning of a game that unfolds in a real dream world, where everything is both in accordance with the game and has many differences.

Now your first task should actually be how to get to Byron Weis, after all, that's where the whole game originated.

The Ninth Book of Art: It's not easy to get to Byron Weiss because it's now blocked by the Old Gods, and it's up to you to explore why.

As for how to get to Byron Weis, I can only remind you that although this is a real dream world, this is not the real world after all.

Normal methods of transportation in the real world will not work here, no matter how real the dream world may be, you are still a soul here.

You have just arrived in this world, don't worry, take a closer look at this world.

Meng Haoran asked another question: How can I leave this world?

The Ninth Book of Art: This is a troublesome process, and you can only spend 30 days in a real dream before you can return to your body in the real world.

However, there is another shortcut, which is to use the Extraterrestrial Cloud Iron to create a True Blade, for example, the Blade of Mercy in Geman's hand is such a weapon.

Well, there are 29 days left, so enjoy the next time to explore.

Meng Haoran, who ended the conversation, glanced at Lawrence inside, and at this time, Lawrence, who was busy inside, seemed to also see Meng Haoran, raised his head and showed a gentle smile.

Meng Haoran also nodded to the archbishop of the healing church and turned to leave, on the way, Meng Haoran chewed a sentence repeatedly, this is the real dream world but this is not the real world.

If you want to learn everything about this place quickly as a foreigner, the best way is to look up the historical materials here.

With these questions in mind, Meng Haoran went to the United Kingdom Library at 96 Euston Road in London, and borrowed historical materials about London here.

After consulting a large number of historical materials, Meng Haoran peeled back the cocoon and came to a very serious historical fact.

What is now London belongs to New London, or Third London.

Directly below what is now London there is a mysterious Old London or Second London.

In the second London, there is a mysterious door that leads to the original London Holy Grail London.

And Meng Haoran learned of a top-secret location to enter underground London, and found the mysterious Tumbledown Alley from there to enter the destroyed old London!

Things became more complicated, Meng Haoran followed the map in the ancient books to the legendary Tumbledown Alley, and after coming here, Meng Haoran once thought that he had gone to the wrong place.

In front of me is a flooded dock, there is a long staircase leading to the water, and at the end of the stairs there is a small boat, and at this moment there is only Meng Haoran himself.

It was already night, but there was still no moon in the sky.

It was as if the thick clouds covered the entire sky, completely obscuring the moon.

Meng Haoran can clearly realize that this is a very gamified scene, but this is also the genius of dreams, in real dreams, he will make you feel that you are dreaming, and make you feel that you can't resist.

Meng Haoran walked to the end of the steps and climbed onto the boat, and then the boat he was in continued to walk forward. The boat slowly descended along the current, which seemed to end in the River Thames.

And from here, you can see the bridge across the Thames and the shining lighthouse on the bridge, and after seeing the shining lighthouse, Meng Haoran has some understanding.

The core of the Souls game is teleportation through this wonderful flame, but here you need to flip over if you want to enter London, as Captain Jack did in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Thinking of this, Meng Haoran suddenly turned his boat over, and at this moment, the world was reversed, and Meng Haoran could feel that his Ye Bian boat was sailing very smoothly underwater.

Meng Haoran suddenly recalled a similar scene, which was also a game called Sunken Land.

At this moment, the water began to become turbulent, and Meng Haoran seemed to vaguely feel that there was a huge creature like a Leviathan in the water!

Then, like a tsunami, Meng Haoran's boat was thrown ashore, and then a line of words appeared in Meng Haoran's eyes: Welcome to the real dream world Old London, the Ninth Book of Art has automatically saved the place for you, if you need to enter again, please go to the Hunter's Dream Realm.

Meng Haoran had already been thrown into the ground, and after pressing it for a while, he struggled to get up.

Far from giving a sense of grandeur to New London, the city is full of decay and is full of traces of the aftermath of the Great Fire.

Meng Haoran raised his head and saw that there was actually a blood-red moon in the sky, and this blood moon seemed to be looking at Meng Haoran as if it had its own will.

In the next moment, Meng Haoran heard a voice that he didn't want to hear: the dilapidated old London had long been buried in the dust of history, and the reason why this place could still be discovered by hunters.

It's because it's a killing place made up of the angry mental will of a large number of bestial virus infected, and killing is the subject of this dream.

The original hunters should explore this main dream, which has clues to the Land of Grail.
