Chapter 56: When you go home, you have to ask for a Hearthstone
Since Toby has dissuaded him like this, Barry has also given up the idea of brushing up experience points now, after all, he has no official profession now, and it is difficult to deal with transcendental monsters.
Not to mention the strength of the dead corpse, even the current Toby is really fighting with Barry, if Barry can't kill Toby in an instant and is brought into rhythm by Toby, he can only play gg in laughter.
"When I get stronger in the future, I'm going to get all the experience points hidden in this house back."
Barry walked out of the residential building and looked at the rows of houses, and could only swear in his heart.
"So where should we go to find a way back?"
Although they made an appointment to work together and escape from the Nightmare Realm, Barry really didn't have a clue at all, so he could only rely on Toby, the head snake.
Toby also gives an answer, letting Barry know what to do next.
"Every creature that has just entered the Nightmare Realm will generate a Hearthstone correspondingly, and this Hearthstone is the key to returning."
"When you get close to the Hearthstone that belongs to you, there will be a sense that after activating the Hearthstone, you can return to the present world."
"Hearthstone usually appears on the altar, and those altars have all kinds of monsters, maybe not very strong, but definitely not weak, at least those monsters, not I can deal with alone."
Listening to Toby on his neck explaining, Barry complained frantically in his heart: "What did I hear, Hearthstone, I'm afraid I haven't traveled to the World of Warcraft." ”
"Excuse me, can you tell me why that stone is called Hearthstone? I'd love to know this. ”
Toby was a little annoyed when he saw that Barry didn't listen to him well and asked about the origin of the name "Hearthstone", but he explained the reason for its name to Barry.
"According to the information in my mind, a long, long time ago, there was a great being called the "Crucible Master", and there were many wizards who believed in him, and this group of sorcerers was called the Crucible Wizards. ”
"This group of wizards loves to explore everywhere, and some of them have come to the Nightmare Realm, only to be lost here, unable to return to the present world."
The wizards then prayed to the "Lord of the Crucible", who passed down the method of making the Return Stone, which was later simplified by the wizards to "Hearthstone". ”
"As the world changes, the rules of the Nightmare Realm have also changed slightly, and every new creature entering the Nightmare Realm will get an exclusive Hearthstone, and if you want to go back, you need to venture to the altar to find it."
"The key is that time, if you stay in the Nightmare Realm for too long, you will be assimilated into a Nightmare Being."
"Then even if you have Hearthstone, you can't return to this world."
After Barry heard Toby's story, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and asked again and again: "How long will it take to be assimilated?" ”
Instead of answering Barry's question right away, Toby said something else.
"Do you know what state you belong to now? You came to the Nightmare Realm as a body or just a soul. ”
Toby's rhetorical question confused Barry, saying that it was a soul, but he could feel every part of his body, no different from his real body.
But if it's a physical body, Barry doesn't feel like it in his heart, after all, everything else is black and white, it looks like a fake, is your physical body real?
Barry, who couldn't think of an answer, threw the question back to Toby, intending to hear his detailed explanation.
"As I said before, the Nightmare Realm is a world where the unreal and the real are intertwined, and you don't understand what it really means."
"Now your body is a real body, but in this world, you still have a body, and they all belong to you."
"But if you stay in the Nightmare Realm for a long time, and your soul is assimilated by the Nightmare Realm, your body in this world will gradually be pulled into the Nightmare Realm, losing its absolute materiality, overlapping with your current body, and becoming the same half-illusory and semi-real state as the Nightmare Realm."
"It's not a long time, it's usually a day or three days, depending on each person, so now you know how important time is."
After listening to the explanation, Barry felt a sense of urgency in his heart, he hadn't had enough of this life, and he didn't want to become an unreal existence yet.
"Let's go to the altar to the east first, about five or six kilometers away from here, the caretaker over there is the weakest, a group of greenskins, let's attack them first, see if we can try our luck and touch your exclusive Hearthstone."
Toby pointed in the direction and asked Barry to pick the soft persimmon and pinch it first.
Although Toby's direction is east, in the Nightmare Realm, there is no such quadripartite direction, and it is only Barry's mind that makes the Nightmare Realm determine the direction.
With Toby around his neck, Barry made a quick run, intending to run as fast as he could to Camp Greenskin and find Hearthstone.
After running less than a kilometer or so, a foggy area suddenly appeared in front of him, although the fog was not large, and there was still some visibility, but Barry's caution made him stop.
At the same time, Toby on his neck also made a pause.
"There's a loop fog ahead, let's not go in, change directions to avoid it."
Although Barry was not familiar with the Nightmare Realm, he knew that it was right to obey the Earth Serpent, and resolutely ran south, intending to bypass the range of the mist.
Barry hurried along, Toby around his neck explaining to him what had just happened in the fog.
"Circling the fog, there is not much danger in it, but if you fall into it, you will keep spinning in it, don't look at the whole fog area, but you will never be able to escape."
"It's like being trapped in an eternal labyrinth, from which you cannot escape, until you are assimilated by the Nightmare Realm."
After a detour of about a kilometer to the south, I escaped the fog zone and set off again in the east.
After about two kilometers of further travel, Barry was attacked by the nightmare creature, the monster was completely white and covered like a ghost.
When Toby saw the appearance of this monster, he directly acted as an encyclopedia, and immediately introduced it to Barry,
"Be careful, be careful, that guy is called the Soul of the Dead, don't touch it, or you'll lose some of your memories."
"When all your memories are lost, you will become a new soul of the dead, and you will always wander in this world."
Barry was dodging left and right at this time, trying not to let himself touch the soul of the dead for a moment, listening to Toby still explaining, and the words of the complaint came out directly.
"I want to know how to kill him, as for the rest, I can talk about it later".
After listening to Barry's complaints, Toby couldn't refute it, so he could only give a suggestion, either Barry killed it with magic, or Toby did it himself and killed it directly.
"If you can kill it, then you can shoot it directly, what are you waiting for......"
Barry told Toby to hurry up, he was almost exhausted, and he kept dodging the attack of the Dead Soul, after all, if he was hit once, he would directly lose his good memory.
It turns out that the transcendent profession is really not covered, although among Toby's four-dimensional attributes, three are not high, and there are only a few skills.
But don't forget, the system only identifies the basic information of the other party, just like skills, it can only identify some particularly powerful skills, but the variant of the skill is used, it will not appear on the system's identification panel.
At this moment, Toby was chanting words, and then Toby's head hung down directly, as if he had fallen into a dream, and the movements of the dead soul on the opposite side began to slow down.
