Finally, it's time to head to the world of Dark Souls.

Before leaving, Nan Xiao had a lot of imagination about the new world he was about to face.

The city of dying, shrouded in despair. The sun's rays are already very dim. The once glorious and beautiful building was filthy and painted with a thick layer of dusk. Emaciated corpses wandered over the walls, dark fire beating in their eyes. As soon as they saw the living creatures, they became excited, howling and pounced on them.

Black Souls has certainly played it. As a veteran player who has fully cleared Soul 123, Nan Xiao has a very deep impression of that world.

Slaughtering the gods, devouring the gods, in that apocalyptic world, all sorts of crazy things are happening.

Looks like we're going to have a good fight.

However, nothing happened.

"You told me this is Rodland?"

Standing in front of you is a majestic city. It has a tall, strong, curved wall that encompasses the entire residential area. From afar, the castle is located on a central hill and is guarded by a second wall.

The walls show no signs of being broken and dirty. Every wall tile is incredibly clean. Even the moss in the cracks in the walls has been brushed off as much as possible, and it can be seen that there are always people who take care of it.

The soldiers patrolling the city walls also looked normal. Wearing standard armor, his movements are simple and powerful, and he is neat and consistent.

Pedestrians kept coming in and out of the city gates, and there were even horse-drawn carriages. They were all normal people, laughing and talking, showing no signs of being alive. The guards at the gates looked at them casually, not scrutinizing them very closely.

- No matter how you look at it, it's a very peaceful ordinary Western fantasy scene!

Nan Xiao looked up and saw that the sun was shining everywhere, the white clouds were long, the sky was high and wide, and the blue was boundless. Flocks of white birds fly in the sky, a carefree look.

"Hey, you didn't get the space-time coordinates wrong, did you?" He asked the firefighter quietly.

"Nope." The firefighter woman is quite sure.

"But it's not what I thought I would be in Rodland."

"You must have seen it." The fireproof woman replied.

Nan Xiao recalled it carefully and found that it was really.

In the opening credits of Dark Souls 1, there is such a scene. An extremely prosperous city, defended by tall curved walls. The city is a neat and orderly residential area. It is centered on one square and is surrounded by houses. The citizens mingle freely in the square, and it is very lively.

On the upper part of the residential area is a second wall, which guards the royal city. It is full of important buildings: cathedrals, royal palaces, barracks, colleges, etc.

The two walls are connected by several galloping roads in a radial shape. These gallops are very straight and divide the city into sectors. They override the houses of the commoners, like modern elevated highways, supported by sturdy bridge piers. Very scientifically designed, once something happens, the soldiers of the Wangcheng Barracks can quickly dispatch to the outer city walls.

"Now is the Age of Fire?" Nan Xiao asked tentatively.

"The Age of Fire...... Well, that's what everybody says. ”

The Age of Fire, which was started by King Gwen, must have lasted for a very, very long time.

Looking around, it doesn't look like the desperate apocalyptic world described in the game. It seems to be peaceful here, and there is no need for a brave man to save anyone.

"So, what does it take me to do?" Nan Xiao asked the fire prevention girl.

The fire prevention girl looked dazed: "Actually, I don't know. ”

"You don't know? Didn't you say a bunch of things to save the world of Rodland, to fight for the revival of the Eternal Flame and so on? You want me to fight the undead, don't you? ”

"The oracle is true...... However, I don't know what the specifics are. ”

"Don't have a detailed guide?"

Having spent some time on Earth, Firefighter learned some Earth concepts. Nan Xiao mentioned "Raiders", and she completely understood what it meant. "No," she rubbed her forehead, trying to remember something, but ultimately seemed to fail, "I'm sorry, my memory is a little blurry. All I remember is asking you to come to Rodland and save the world. ”

"So how do you save it?"

"Sorry, I don't really have a clue."

Okay, Nan Xiao thought, let's play it as a virtual reality game that has never been tackled before.

He's very confident now. From the ancient god Enzos, he prostituted a huge amount of divine power for nothing, and even if he met King Gwen, he dared to go up and break his wrist. A living corpse? What is that? Do you think you can kill me by hanging outside the city wall and sneaking out while I walk by? I'm sorry, but in the face of absolute power, you intrigues are all!

"Well, then, let's go into the city and walk around."

The firefighter did not object to this proposal, so the two of them walked towards the city wall.

However, he was stopped by the guards.

"Five copper coins for the entrance tax."

Nan Xiao looked at the fire prevention girl and motioned for her to pay for it. Of course, he didn't have such a thing as a copper coin.

Who would bring something that takes up space and is inexpensive? Even if you have a lot of space with you, and you can even expand it by appropriating future space if necessary, there is no need to carry such useless things.

The fireproof girl touched her body and shook her head in embarrassment: "I don't have either." ”

"You can't enter the city without paying taxes." The guards reprimanded with a straight face, "Look at this city wall, it is tall and long, it is all the blood and sweat of the citizens!" Every year, the repairs, additions and enhancements are maintained by the entrance tax. Since you don't want to pay, go back. ”

"Wait," Nan Xiao suddenly pulled out a white and bright mystery coin, "How about using this to get five copper coins?" ”

The guard took the coin, looked at it carefully, and found that he did not recognize it. The white one looks a bit like a silver coin, but the weight is certainly not as heavy as the silver. He put it in his mouth and bit it suspiciously, and rattled his teeth. Oh, it's pretty hard.

"Which country's money is this?"

Nan Xiao said casually: "This is a universal coin from the far east of the world of Zeratu, minted from a metal called 'white copper'. Each one can probably be exchanged for ......," he said, looking at the flatbed trucks of nearby farmers, "for five large sweet potatoes." Isn't it about the same as five copper coins? In fact, this kind of copper coin is very rare in your city. If you take it to a rich man's store, there should be someone who is willing to buy it at a high price. ”

The guards looked left and right, and there was a greedy glint in their eyes. He carefully put the white coin into his small leather bag, waved to Nan Xiao and the fire prevention girl, and said, "Okay, just use it to offset the city entry tax, you can go in." ”

After entering, she walked for a while, and the fireproof girl suddenly remembered: "That's not the kind of entertainment facility on Earth......

"Arcade arcade." Nan Xiao added.

"That's right, it's the coins used to feed the machines in the arcade arcade, right?"

"That's right. It just so happened that there was one left at the end of yesterday's play, and I kept it as a souvenir. Since the guard liked it so much, he gave it to him. ”

That kind of currency is 100 yen for 10 pieces, and it is not worth anything on the earth. With this little thing, you can get rid of the guards, Nan Xiao thinks it's a good deal.

However, when they had just passed through the hole in the city wall, they were stopped again.

This battle is a bit big. An officer personally led the team, followed by four small soldiers, all wearing helmet armor and holding weapons in their hands.

"Stop," the officer looked Nan Xiao up and down, "Who are you?" Where are you from? What are you doing here? ”
