Chapter 33: Big Must Die

The Dark Dungeon is a Cthulhu-style, very core niche game, known for its high difficulty, inability to save, and hard-working squads......

Shen Yan didn't choose it specifically because he particularly liked the game - he had too many games to chop his hands at the fat man, many of which he hadn't touched since the day he bought it - the biggest reason for choosing this world was because of its super simple plot, and it was always safe the first time.

"There was such a great nobleman who built a castle on a cliff in a beautiful landscape, far from the city. The aristocrat is handsome, talented, rich and noble, and is simply a perfect protagonist, so he is deeply loved by women. His wealth and fame spread far and wide, and countless beauties and nobles came to his castle just to take part in the revelry he hosted.

For the first half of his life, this aristocrat has been living a drunken life and waking up next to a different woman every day...... Erosive life. Is his name Big? ”

The last sentence is self-talk.

Shen Yan sat by the campfire and taught Catherine "background knowledge" in a serious way - here he is the one who knows the plot, and Catherine is a real adventurer. If she hadn't made it clear in advance, she would definitely have stepped into the pit, especially since there are a lot of pits in this broken game.

Touching things indiscriminately will summon crawling, and Shen Yan's first group annihilation was a reptile monster given to him.

Catherine listened attentively, not distracted by the yellow and violent content, which seemed to her to be noble...... It will only be more chaotic than Shen Yan described!

"After playing with for half a lifetime, I gradually began to stop ...... No, he thought it was boring to play with women and men, so he shifted his interest and began to ponder all kinds of myths and legends, ancient biographies, and other things, wanting to study eternal life. And he has a unique advantage...... Because according to the records, under the castle, there is a portal to the land where the gods are sealed......

Didn't I say that he was brilliant, but it was true—he became the greatest necromancer and the greatest alchemist of his time by studying books on his own and interacting with visitors from time to time! ”

Catherine glanced at Shen Yan quietly, and felt that this character was very similar to Shen Yan. The same outstanding appearance, the same popularity with women, and the same intelligence, needless to say, money, everything behind him is like a hill of money!

As for the nobility, Catherine never thought that Shen Yan was not an aristocrat...... Some habits are carved into the bones, and even the king is not as particular as he is. Just like Shen Yan has to wash his hands every time before eating, he has seen too much, and the Big Four always feel that there is something wrong with their past......

"What do you think? Be serious and tell a story! Shen Yan knocked on the firewood in his hand and threw it into the bonfire.

Hearing the sound, the distant crawler flinched and hid farther. The setting of the reptile monster has the shadow of the Cthulhu monster, but it is estimated that it is half a world away from the strength of those old rulers.

Catherine brushed her hair in embarrassment, "You go on, what about later?" ”

"Later...... He's almost on the verge of success. On the one hand, he hired countless people to unearth the vast labyrinth underground, which was already very close to the location of the portal; On the other hand, he is also almost successful in necromancy and alchemy. He was only one step away from seizing the power of the Old Gods and becoming a new God in the Material Realm.

In the process, he also created countless monsters - I think this guy is probably a son of the plane - and the scholars he killed who came to communicate became powerful undead mages after death; The flesh summoning magic he studied, the world from which he summoned a large number of pig-man races, and a stupid pig-man prince; A woman who was obsessed with him that he casually killed became a siren queen...... Even a certain female noblewoman who participated in his party ended up becoming a mosquito spirit, which can seep people...... Do you look at me like that? ”

Catherine couldn't hold back and didn't speak—as long as it's a relational person, one by one, their fates will be reversed and turned upside down - are you sure that person is not talking about you?!

"If you look at the way Crawl looks, he must have found and opened the portal in the end...... And finally turn this beautiful place into a ghost. Then the nobleman committed suicide and died, and before he died, he wrote to his descendants, asking them to come and clean up the garbage before they could inherit his inheritance...... In fact, he wanted to use the young body of the descendant to complete the final link of union with the ancient gods.

The descendants of the big, including these adventurers hired by the descendants, are essentially sacrifices to drag the evil god into the main plane. ”

"That guy" is indeed very much like a big piece of, so Shen Yan silently referred to him by this name.

Shen Yan added the last piece of wood to the fire, then poured a bottle of alchemy potion, and the flame gradually dimmed and stabilized - this would ensure that the campfire would burn all night.

"Actually, just listen to those backgrounds and whatever, just remember that the big is not a good person, the old housekeeper is not a good person, and the descendants of the nobility are not good people...... There's no good guy here! Our mission is to turn the fortunes of this family around, and nothing else!

Anyway, the plan is like this - go to his various bosses, and we will not do it step by step...... First spend two days stepping on the plate to find out the environment, and then rush straight up to kill the big! I'll take you home after that...... You go back to Green Horn and Milton and they brag, and I go back to the fortress and a few others to brag, what do you think? ”

What do you think?

Catherine secretly looked at Shen Yan...... It's rare to be alone with you, and I don't want to leave so soon.

*****

Blacktown.

It flourished in a period when a certain aristocrat was building a large number of buildings, and it was also prosperous for a while.

At that time, the scenery around the town was beautiful, with the blue ocean in the distance and the traffic on the trade roads...... At that time, the name of the town was Hamlet, which meant paradise.

After that, as the tunnels dug by the nobles were dense like cobwebs and deepened, undead creatures often escaped from the tunnels; Legends about treasures that make the bandits of the wasteland gather towards the town; Fishmen and ghost ships hovered across the sea, and strange pig-like creatures often ran out of the ruins;

Tomb robbers, mercenaries, preachers, veterans, spies, and vagabonds, among others, flocked into the town in pursuit of ethereal wealth, replacing the simple villagers...... Rumors are spreading in the shadows, intensifying!

No one notices that the energy of the necromancy is permeating the land...... In the spring, the trees are empty of buds, and the new branches are twisted like hideous blades, with sharp burrs on the edges! In the land, the production of grain is getting less and less, and the taste of grain is lost; Dead animals, on the other hand, do not decay for months, but when eaten, some strange growths grow into their bodies.

Everyone who lives here is pale—and it's because everyone is like this that they all tacitly pretend not to see it.

Outsiders will soon be assimilated by the town...... It was a long time ago that it had changed from Hamlet to another name, Blacktown.

Just after noon in Blacktown, two more outsiders walked in, their pockets bulging.
