Chapter 21: The First Meeting with the Dream Protector
"Lord Heroic Spirit, don't look at me like this all the time, I feel very uncomfortable......" It seemed that Yunmo's somewhat demented eyes had been looking at her for too long, and the NPC girl who called herself "Dream Protector" lowered her head embarrassedly, and there was a swaying blush on her flawless face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was rude......" Yunmo hurriedly moved his gaze to the side, such a perfect girl, even if he looked directly, he would feel ashamed.
"Actually, I'm too thin-skinned, we Dream Protectors are meant to serve Lord Immortal, and Lord Immortal can 'use' us however he wants......" Dream Protector said in a weak voice.
Can I use it any way? Yunmo only felt that countless bad associations appeared in his head for a moment, and then he who had always boasted of his integrity hurriedly extinguished all those beautiful thoughts, a girl who looks so pure, don't say such things casually! Although Huaxia's game review is now very lenient, it doesn't mean that you can casually put messy H plots in the game!
"May I ask you that you claim to be a dream protector or serve me, and what exactly do you do? Also, what is this 'Hall of War Sacred Fire' where I woke up? These introductions are necessary for me, right? Yunmo had no choice but to forcibly pretend to be a decent gentleman and look at the Dream Protector girl with open eyes, but she was amazed by the long silver-white hair that swayed at the back of her head, and only in games and anime can you make such a magnificent but non-disobedient hair, right?
"Lord Immortal, I'm sorry! It's me who is so nervous! I haven't even given these basic introductions to the Heroic Spirit, so I'm so sorry that I wasted my precious time! The little girl bent down and apologized again and again with an embarrassed face, Yunmo really couldn't understand that an NPC like her would still feel nervous about seeing the player for the first time?
She didn't seem to realize that what she was saying now was actually wasting Yunmo's time to some extent, and Yunmo didn't break it, but she felt that such an NPC was also full of cuteness!
"It's not a big deal, but can you hurry up and get started?" Yunmo said with a good smile.
"Ah...... Good good! So I'll start with myself! I'm a Dream Protector, and it's up to you to give me my name, Lord Heroic Spirit, my main function. It is to protect the precious dream of Lord Heroic Soul from being eroded by the abyss! The Dream Protector patted his chest, which didn't have much weight, and said seriously.
"What do you mean...... Is this also a dream? Yunmo asked, the trial space he had at the beginning, Han Lingsha speculated that it might just be an area similar to a dream, and now in the mouth of this little girl who claims to be a dream protector, this holy fire hall is also a dream. Dreams" seems to have a very important place in the worldview of "Eternal Calamity".
"That's right, Lord Immortal can be resurrected, and he can be resurrected by rekindling the soul fire after dying again and again, all because Lord Immortal's existence is maintained by this dream, the dream never wakes up, Lord Immortal will never really die, Lord Immortal's soul fire will only become stronger and stronger, burning to the end, one day, Lord Immortal will bring light to the dark world outside!" The Dream Protector read the lines stiffly, and although the content of what she said seemed exciting, she didn't believe it too much.
"And the dream realm of the Heroic Spirit may also be eroded by the abyss, once it is eroded by the abyss, the Heroic Spirit will no longer be able to dream, then the Heroic Spirit will lose the foundation that you can become a Heroic Spirit, at that time, the Heroic Spirit will return to the realm of the dead and sink forever, and as a dream protector, I exist to ensure that this kind of thing will not happen!" And every time the little girl talks about her duties, her face shows a very energetic look, and she seems to be very proud of her identity.
"Then how did you make sure that this place wasn't eroded by that 'abyss'?" Yunmo listened patiently to the popularization of the worldview and game settings, and prepared such a setting for players to be able to resurrect again and again, the Mirror Club is really very attentive, but it seems that the player's ability to "resurrect" can also be deprived in some circumstances?
"There are two methods, the first method is naturally through me to transform the souls that Lord Immortal absorbed in the outside world to strengthen your soul fire, there are many beings in the outside world that have powerful souls, but their souls are all impurities that are eroded by the abyss or distorted by madness, after Lord Immortal defeats them, they can't absorb their souls by their own strength, in order not to be eroded by the abyss in your dreams, you need to use me as a channel to take those souls' Purification' can be transformed into your own power. The Dream Protector looked at Yunmo with her seemingly see-through gaze, and whispered, "Just like the mad Ernest you just defeated in the nightmare, Lord Immortal, most of his soul has already been eroded by the abyss, and only through my transformation, Lord Immortal, can you absorb it." ”
Yunmo understands, this is an upgrade system that has changed its skin, but this upgrade system is a little special, after you get enough souls for you to upgrade, you have to safely return to this [Battle Sacred Fire Hall] in your dream to find this dream protector girl, in order to successfully improve your level and strengthen your ability.
This seemingly redundant setting actually adds a lot of uncertainty and playability to the process of the game, for example, the reason for PK between players can be simply because they want to obtain a large number of souls from a player who has defeated the boss, and for example, after cooperating to defeat a boss, players may turn against each other because of the large number of souls in their hands...... I can't really say whether this setting is better or worse. But all in all, Yunmo thinks that the game has become more interesting, others can kill you to get all the souls stored in your body, and you can also level up quickly by killing others who have worked hard to level up......
"What about the second method?" Yunmo continued to ask.
"The second way is to 'add fire to ashes.'" The figure of the Dream Protector girl was illuminated by the swaying pale flames behind her, and the whole person seemed to be bathed in a holy light, and when she said the word ashes, her voice was inexplicably filled with a hint of sadness.
"Ashes?" Yunmo remembered the [Ernest's ashes] that broke out after defeating Ernest and didn't know how to use it, and now he has found a way to use it?
"There are many Heroic Spirits in this world who have been eroded by the abyss for various reasons or lost their dreams forever, they have become the embodiment of the abyss in the human world, if you find them and defeat them to free them from the control of the abyss, then you can get their relics, their ashes, scatter the ashes into your soul fire altar, your soul fire will grow even stronger, and you will be able to consume your soul to reproduce their memories to learn their own proprietary skills, Or use the Soul Reconstruct their own equipment and weapons, and if you find more relics belonging to the same fallen Immortal, you may even be able to resurrect him one day, and he may even work for you. The Dream Protector finished a lot of introductions in a stiff tone of reciting the lines, and coughed lightly as if he were relieved.
It's hard to describe this system in Yunmo, it's like a store, it's like a skill learning point, and in the end, it may even become a pet to raise. Doesn't he have an Ernest ash on him now? Thinking about it later, with an Ernest with him, the picture is also quite beautiful.
"Okay, okay, then let me try using soul enhancement right now, right? Don't I have 2,000 souls on me now? Yunmo couldn't wait to upgrade himself, he had so many souls left on his body that he didn't use, he was really a little panicked, in case he went out and hung up for inexplicable reasons, he wanted to cry without tears.
"Lord Immortal, of course we can upgrade immediately, but I have one more request first, I don't know if you can consider it first." The dream protector girl looked at Yunmo with a flattering smile, and being looked at by such a girl with such eyes, Yunmo felt that her heart was about to melt.
"Tell me about it......" Yunmo said reluctantly, he wouldn't suddenly release any difficult tasks to open the upgrade function, right? It hurts too much.
"Lord Immortal, you know, there is a Dream Protector in the Holy Flame Hall of every Heroic Spirit in this world, and our Dream Protector is dedicated to serving Heroic Spirits like you, Heroic Spirits like you are unique in this world, and each of our Dream Protectors is of course also a unique existence......" The Dream Protector seemed to want to explain something, and his face turned red as he spoke.
"What the hell are you trying to say...... Straight to the point...... "Yunmo was confused by this NPC girl who was a little awkward and talked around the bush, and said a little impatiently.
"That's it...... That one...... Can you give me a name first...... I don't want to be like so many sisters who simply share the name of a 'Dream Protector'! The Dream Protector looked at Yunmo aggrievedly, and said her wish with a worried expression, and her eyes almost lit up as stars.
"That's it......" Yunmo thought it was something, he really had no reason to refuse such a simple wish, he just rolled his eyes, and gave the dream protector a name:
"My surname is Yun, and you are the existence of the dream realm that takes care of me, when I was born, I found someone to look at the number of lives and said that I was short of water in the five elements...... The three words are casually matched, and then casually linked to the place name allusion of an ancient book, there was a big lake called Yunmeng in ancient times...... Why don't you just call Yun Mengze? Yunmo casually said a name, the introduction of the dreamer's sister, she will meet Yunmo often in the future, so there is no reason to give her a too ugly name.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but it's a great name! I love it! Thank you, Lord Mo! "Dream Protector, no, Yun Mengze's two big silver-white magnificent eyes narrowed into two crescents, and she happily opened her arms directly as if she wanted to embrace Yun Mo.
"What are you doing?!" Yun Mo, whose expression changed drastically, was surprised to find that Yun Mengze's body passed directly through her body, and Yun Mo couldn't feel the existence of her body at all......
"It's a pity, I'm just a void soul, and I can't even do something as simple as hugging Lord Moe." Yun Mengze turned around with a lonely expression and looked at his slender arm that was slightly transparent.
I see, Yunmo was still a little worried about whether some very gentlemanly players would do something very bad to these dream protector girls who looked very shy and quite perfect, but it seems that the Mirror Club has already considered it, and directly made the dream protectors into a soul state, so that you can see and touch it......
Yunmo doesn't know whether to be glad or regretful for such a setting.
