Chapter 314: Evil Spirit Castle
After dozens of days and nights of struggle, the Big Bad Wolf team finally kept up with the progress of the first echelon of the secret realm again and stood in the eleventh layer.
Officials have repeatedly emphasized that the secret realm starts from the eleventh floor, which will be completely different from the previous concept of dungeons.
You can feel this as soon as you enter the dungeon.
First of all, geographically there is no starting point for general copies.
The so-called dungeon entrance is actually just a relatively safe area.
According to the video released by Qian Xuehuan and his own commentary, every time you enter the dungeon, the player's location will be different.
The eleventh layer of the secret realm.
Castle of Evil Spirits.
After Lu Zhe and the five entered the dungeon, they were at a fork in the road.
The path comes from a dark fog with no end in sight, and this setting generally doesn't want the player to go back.
The two forks in front of it, on the left is a small village surrounded by a two-meter-high wooden fence, the top of the fence is sharpened, mottled marks, it looks like it has experienced some battle, although the gate is ajar, the whole village looks dark and intimidating.
On the right is a path about two meters wide, winding up a hill, although you can't see the whole picture of the path, but the huge dark castle on the top of the hill suddenly attracts everyone's attention.
The time in the dungeon is dusk, and the castle looks even more eerie in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"That's the Castle of the Evil Spirits." Du Xiaoxiao asked.
The answer is obvious.
"I thought it was going to be right in the castle."
"According to Qian Xuehuan's explanation, there is indeed such a possibility, but that is the worst outcome."
"Why? Wouldn't it be faster to fight by saving some distance? ”
"Your concept still hasn't changed, and the dungeon after the eleventh floor will not have a clear starting point and end point, all you need is to complete the plot of the dungeon and lead to the final boss, so where to start can't be a criterion." Lu Zhe explained.
"Okay, so how do we get there?"
"From the path."
"What about this village [Biqu Island fo]?"
"Leave it alone."
"I really don't understand, since it's called the Evil Spirit Castle, why set up a village corresponding to him? What would happen if we went into this village? Du Xiaoxiao still couldn't help but be curious.
"Actually, it's the same."
"Huh?"
"The so-called new concept copy means that no matter what choice you make, there will be a follow-up plot unfolding, but the content will be different."
"Then it will be easier to choose the castle road?"
"I haven't beaten again, how do you know?"
"You were chosen blindly?"
"Sort of." Lu Zhe is not easy to explain, he can't say it, I know the plot behind.
In fact, Lu Zhe's so-called knowing the plot is not really clear about the entire copy, even if countless people have fought in the later stage, there is no way to summarize a fixed strategy.
The secret realm after the eleventh floor, not only is the location of each entry dungeon different, but even the plot trigger is completely irregular.
Therefore, ordinary players can no longer wait for others to clear the customs, send a video, and then go to the game.
This is also why Qian Xuehuan is so generous to release the copy video.
However, each layer of the secret realm is a limited space after all, and the scenes, characters, items, monster attributes, NPCs' positions and personalities in it will not change.
Therefore, the experienced Lu Zhe, even if he has no way of knowing what will happen in the next moment, has an obvious advantage compared to others.
As a groundbreaking eleventh layer of secret realms, it has been studied countless times in previous lives, although in the end it is still impossible to find out all the plots, but all the details of all aspects in this layer have almost been summarized.
The background of the story of the Evil Spirit Castle is very simple: Baron Vahn, who has three children, picked up a boy on the side of the road and decided to adopt him, this boy named Lugao, when he grew up, he fell in love with the baron's youngest daughter, and was finally forcibly separated by the baron, and after Lugao was driven out of the castle, he was accidentally infected and became a werewolf, and when he returned to the castle, he found that his lover had died of depression, so he took revenge on the baron.
This kind of very old-fashioned plot in the Western fantasy theme can extend a lot of branches, and players will also complete one task after another according to the guidance of NPCs in the secret realm.
In general, the secret realm after that is more like a shrunken world, condensing the player's entire game process into a dungeon.
"To be honest, I think Lugo is innocent, and Baron Vaughn is self-inflicted." Du Xiaoxiao has obviously read the synopsis on the official website.
"When you have a daughter, maybe you won't think so." Lu Zhe said with a smile.
"Speak like you're very experienced." Du Xiaoxiao muttered.
Lu Zhe smiled and didn't speak.
At this time, the sun had completely set, and from a distance, the entire evil spirit castle could only discern a rough outline, which seemed even more silent and terrifying.
A group of people walked on the path leading to the top of the mountain.
Suddenly, in the grass on the side of the road, there was a terrible scream.
Startle people.
"It's triggering the plot."
"Well, be careful below, a battle could happen at any time."
Found in the grass was a middle-aged man in tattered clothes and covered in blood, claiming to be the butler of Earl Vahn, who passed away with his eyes closed after communicating with the player.
Su Ying secretly released a resurrection technique on him, but the result was naturally useless.
This move was captured in the footage of washing horses and hiding swords, which made the sailors laugh backwards.
It is inferred from the clue given by the butler before his death that everyone should go back to the starting point and go to the strange village at the beginning to find the next information.
"What, I thought it was so intelligent, these characters still have the smell of NPCs when they speak." Du Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed.
Lu Zhe smiled: "Boss, you have seen too much, do you really think that there will be that kind of virtual online game where NPCs communicate with real people?" ”
Du Xiaoxiao was helpless: "Okay, then what now?" ”
"Follow the plot and go back to the village at the beginning."
"But I think it's even more terrifying than a castle, and something very bad can happen." Su Ying said.
"It's better to have a battle happen, it's better than nothing, and the most fearful thing is that after entering the dungeon, you've been running around, which means that the plot is not actually promoted, and it's a waste of time."
"This copy won't be like a horror movie, deliberately making some suspense, and then scary."
"Basically, no, the developer is not stupid, the game is not graded, many of the people who play the game are still children, scare people out of the way, does it have to deal with lawsuits all day long?"
"That's good, that's good."
Su Ying felt a lot more at ease.
