Chapter 18: The Neglected Plot
Chen Bing's preparation was missing, did something go wrong?
Not really!
After entering the game, Chen Bing quickly gained the trust of Hamu and Sani, and the two helped Chen Bing to fool Gerald perfectly on the ship, without Gerald being aware of his existence.
In order to prevent a recurrence of the previous tragedy, Chen Bing also asked Hamu to accept the blood-colored hedron sent by the Kraken, but instead of using it, he hid it.
After Chen Bing subdued Parkin, used the secret that Parkinsi told him, and also told the purpose of Parkin's assassination of Hammu, Parkins believed Chen Bing and joined forces with Chen Bing.
Later, Chen Bing quickly rushed to the outside of Verono City, found Ketheria, and in the same way, gained Kercelia's trust.
Everything went according to Chen Bing's predetermined plan, and Chen Bing and Cordelia then acted together, raiding the orchard where Gerald was hiding, and successfully captured Gerald.
While capturing Gerald, Cordelia also sent someone to arrest Delis.
However, Dilis seems to have done something in the Witch Guild, and when the Witch Guild people dispatched, Dilis noticed it in advance and finally escaped.
Except for Dilis escaping, in the third game, what Chen Bing wanted to do was perfectly completed.
Although he was escaped by Dilis, this time Hamu didn't even use the blood-colored crystal, no matter how you look at it, this time Cordelia can be saved, and the Glaxia Continent will not be destroyed.
But the game's plot has changed again at this point.
In the first game, the combined army that attacked the continent of Graxia reappeared.
In the first game, these combined armies were easily defeated by the witches of the Witch Guild led by Kercelia and the Witch Guild, and in the second game, they almost did not appear.
But in the third game, these combined armies launched an unprecedented onslaught, leaving Cydelia and many witches exhausted, and the continent of Graxia was in chaos.
Chen Bing didn't participate in it, he just guarded and protected Hamu, as long as Hamu didn't go wrong, even if those united armies were a little stronger, it would be useless.
But Chen Bing never expected that the night before the night of the witch, Hamu and Sani disappeared from Kercelia's manor.
There were many guards around the manor, and there were brave slimes guarding it, and no one attacked or invaded the manor that night.
The disappearance of Sani and Hamu was the result of their own initiative and quietly leaving, and a maid told Chen Bing the next morning that she had seen the two of them in the middle of the night, and the two of them walked around the manor together.
Because it was in the manor, the maid didn't think too much, and when she was asked by Chen Bing, she thought about it before saying that the movements of Hamu and Sani seemed to be a little stiff, as if they were controlled.
And after asking everyone in the manor, some people said that they seemed to have faintly heard singing last night.
At this point, Chen Bing finally knew what the problem was.
It's the song of the Kraken!
The Kraken not only sings a deceptive song, there are several kinds of Siren songs, Chen Bing heard only the most basic one at sea, after Dilis fled, she encouraged the united army to attack, and then she found the Kraken and asked the Kraken to use a stronger song to confuse Hammu and Sani and let them walk out of the manor by themselves.
This information about the Kraken is all from Cyderia.
According to Cydelia, the first time she heard the song of the Siren on the Warrior, the song of the Siren was already a curse, and the song of the Siren that abducted Hamu was probably a more hidden song, which could only be heard by those who had been marked by her singing voice, and would be easily confused.
But unfortunately, Chen Bing knew too late.
He never expected that the Kraken, which only appeared once at the beginning of the game, could trigger the plot later, and it would still be so deadly.
"I should have thought that although the Kraken appeared for a short time, her identity in the game is the most mysterious, how could it be that she simply sent something to Dilis."
Chen Bing shook his head.
Dilis escaped, and finally found the Kraken and abducted Hamu, the witch who first went to the Kraken and asked the Kraken to help deliver the blood-colored spar was most likely Dilis.
The reason why Chen Bing didn't associate Dilith and the witch at the end of the second game was because the witch and Dillis didn't match their size.
But in the end, Dilis was able to find the Kraken and kidnap Hamu, and the witch was with Dilis, even if it wasn't Dilis herself.
Without Hammu, time is once again only the last day, although this time Chen Bing successfully captured Gerald, but the result still ended in failure.
If you can catch Gerald, Chen Bing can't be said to have gained nothing in this game.
Cydelia died again, and the continent of Graxia was destroyed in pillars of light.
The game is over, but Chen Bing still gets the game voucher to enter "Witch Night IV", but by the time the game is settled, the rewards he can get are getting less and less.
From the initial 10,000 Homestead Credits, to the second time it was only 8,000, and the third time, there was only 5,000 Homestead Silver Coins left.
However, Chen Bing didn't pay attention to this reward, for him at the moment, there were more things to think about.
"It seems that after entering the game, when it comes into contact with the Kraken, the game is the most critical time to enter. Let them not listen to the Siren's song, or simply go and catch the witch who contacted the Siren? ”
Chen Bing couldn't help but think.
Whether it was to make Ha Mu not listen to the Siren's singing, or to catch the witch, Chen Bing was sure to do it.
After three games, he had learned several world-destroying techniques, especially water magic, which he was extremely proficient in.
After entering the game, Chen Bing only needed half a day to deduce the world-destroying level water magic.
The problem is that whether he asks Ha Mu not to contact the Kraken or directly captures the witch, Chen Bing will startle the snake and expose his existence in advance.
And at that time, he was still on the sea, even if he had world-destroying magic, he could only protect himself on the sea, and he couldn't escape to the mainland with them in one breath.
Besides, he had just been wiped out once, and Chen Bing hadn't forgotten those united armies.
Failing to catch Gerald and Dilis in one go, alarming them in advance, Chen Bing felt that the plot might once again follow the same path as it did in the third game.
Once they find out that they are no match for him, I am afraid that the combined fleet will soon find their ships and attack them in a big way.
Theoretically, as long as Chen Bing can protect Ha Mu, the game will win.
But with the experience of the third game, Chen Bing doesn't think he can do it simply, as long as he makes a slight mistake, I'm afraid that a new plot will appear in Ha Mu.
