Chapter 55 Inside the House
"Cooperation?"
After listening to Barry's suggestion, Toby lowered his head and thought about the feasibility of this proposal.
Seeing that Toby did not resist the offer, Barry felt that there was a point in this matter, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade Toby, intending to find the first helper in the Nightmare Realm.
"You have knowledge of the Nightmare Realm in your head that can help us avoid most dangers."
"I have the ability to act, I can make up for your lack of action, and when you encounter unavoidable danger, you can also fight the enemy together."
"In this way, the two of us together can play a strength that one plus one is greater than two."
What Barry said made a lot of sense, and it also touched Toby's heart, after all, Toby also knew that the possibility of his master being reincarnated and coming back to find him was too low, and even if it was possible, he didn't know how long it would take.
As an ordinary puppet, Toby had no concept of time, but now that he has a soul and a real life, the long wait will break him.
Toby agrees to Barry's suggestion to work with him, intending to explore a way back to the present world with him.
"Since you say so, I hope you can remember your promise, and if you are lucky enough to return to this life, remember to help me find the reincarnation of my master."
When Barry heard Toby's words, a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes, after all, it is too difficult to break into the nightmare realm alone, and with a teammate who knows the basic strategy, the probability of going home increases I don't know how much.
Now that the two sides have become teammates, Barry directly asks Toby, "Do you have any strange things in this house that can increase the success rate of exploration?" ”
Toby heard Barry's question, shook his slightly stiff wooden head, and answered in the negative.
"When my master was exploring the Nightmare Realm, he took everything he could use, and if I hadn't been just an ordinary puppet at the time, I would have been taken away by my master."
When Barry heard this, he felt a little lost in his heart, but it was also expected, if it were him, he would also bring everything that could be used.
"But there should still be a book in the study that records mystical knowledge, which is the master's notebook that once recorded the knowledge of potions."
This is also good news, even if you can't have a strange thing that can be improved right away, with extra supernatural knowledge, you can increase some experience points, that's not bad.
Following Toby's guidance, Barry went to the study, intending to learn the Potions knowledge in his notebook first.
This study, due to Toby's cleaning, the whole room is in good condition, looking at its neat furnishings, the original owner should also be a person who loves to read.
Find the notebook, which reads "Elia's Potions Notes", and underneath the line, a humanoid creature is scratched.
"Your master seems to like you very much, and he drew your portrait in this notebook."
Barry discerns that the humanoid creature in the notebook is Toby's portrait.
Looking at the self-portrait in the notebook, Toby said affectionately in a tone full of memories: "So agree to cooperate with you, I want to leave the nightmare world, I want to find her again, and be with her forever." ”
Barry didn't know how Toby, a puppet, could make such an affectionate voice, anyway, Barry couldn't express such an abundance of emotions in his words now.
"Hurry up and memorize the knowledge in the book, I'm going to clean the room again, and fix the door lock by the way."
"This may be the last time I clean this room, if I fall in the Nightmare Realm, everything will be over, and if I am lucky enough to escape, then I will also go to find the master, and I will not come back."
Barry's face was a little embarrassed when he heard that Toby was going to fix the lock, that was what he had kicked it, and Barry looked at the notes intently.
The knowledge recorded in the notes is not small, especially the various potion recipes, and Barry feels that the door to a new world has been opened, and he feels that he can make potion ingredients in anything.
Normal ones like "Necro Tree Leaves", "Ghost Grass Sap", or "Zombie Mushrooms", which are unusual sounding plants.
These special plant materials contain extraordinary abilities, and it is normal for them to be able to make potions.
What is not normal is "female mosquito feet", "fly wings", "bat earwax", "black cat eyeballs", "toad pus", such strange things.
But these are understandable, after all, it is an exact thing, maybe when you make a potion, it really happens to other substances something unexpected?
But for some things inside, Barry really can't imagine, such as the following.
"Three drops of brain pulp of the water ghost (note: you must kill and take it out yourself)", will there be any difference in what you buy?
"The Spirit of the Water Elemental (Note: The Water Elemental Must Be Summoned Through a Psychic Ritual)"
"Isn't it possible to use the Water Elemental Essence obtained through other means?"
"Reckless Demon Nails (Note: The more reckless the Demon Nails, the better)"
"Is it true that the more stupid the demon, the stronger, or the cunning demon can't do it?"
There are all kinds of potions, the more advanced the potions, the more strange the materials used, and sometimes there are time requirements, special location requirements, and even when there are medicines, there must be several people around who have requirements.
After more than an hour, Barry finally finished reading the whole book, which was really beneficial, and now he feels like he can take medicine when he sees everything.
【Ding! By watching Elijah's Potions Notes, you gain a new skill, Potions Knowledge, Lv1]
【Ding! You gain 10 XP]
With a new skill and 10 free XP points, if it weren't for the danger here, Barry would feel like this nightmare world would be his paradise!
This only searched two houses, and got such a big gain, if you search all the houses, I don't know how much experience points you will have to gain.
Barry laughed silly at the thought of this, a kind of smile like a mouse entering the rice barn.
Toby had already cleaned his room and was waiting for Barry.
Seeing that Barry had finished reading the potions notes, Toby said to Barry that he was ready to go.
However, when Toby hears that Barry wants to explore the other rooms, he is dissuaded with some concern.
"The Nightmare World is a strange world, and every house here corresponds to a strange thing, and there is a very high possibility of danger in it."
"You just explored the room on the left, the owner of it was originally a dead corpse, and over time, he turned into a monster, often roaring, attracting other dangers."
"I was worried that he would bring something really terrifying, so I once took the opportunity to deal with him, so you can be safe."
"As for my room, if you don't recognize me at first and wreak havoc in the house, although I don't like fighting, I'll attack you at that time."
"But there aren't many peaceful beings like me in the Nightmare Realm, most of them are monsters who start fighting when they meet, fortunately they rarely go out of the house, otherwise the Nightmare Realm will be even more chaotic and dangerous."
"For them, the house is the territory, and they stay in the territory and kill the creatures who dare to enter."
Barry listened to Toby's explanation, and was shocked in his heart, daring to be thanks to Toby's blessing, otherwise a battle would have broken out when he explored the first house.
