Chapter 258: Mermaid: ??
According to the details in his memory, Crane successfully traded the Flame Kettle for a wedge-shaped stone shard from the Bird's Nest, and the return bone fragment for the Iron Arm Sleeve, the standard equipment of the Sun Knight.
And on the other side of the nest, on a shriveled corpse, Crane picked up the original fragments.
Opening the hidden wall, Crane jumps off the beam and finds a treasure chest on the high platform behind the throne of the Two Princes of Lothric. Inside the treasure chest was a greedy silver snake ring.
Klein took a deep breath, feeling more and more that this dream was not simple.
It's not surprising that Calullah is a character in Dark Souls, and she is able to construct dreams based on things from the past, but why is everything in dreams exactly the same as in the game?
The answer to all this may only be answered by Kalula herself.
But Crane had a hunch that he might never see Calula in his dreams, just as he couldn't see the Firewoman at the Fire Rite.
It's not surprising that Calula can become an angel in Sequence 2 and also holds a royal soul. The Firefighter Girl would only be taller than Calula, and would almost certainly hold a royal soul.
Of course, such an existence can't come to the dream world to play with them.
Jumping off the high platform, Klein glanced at the man who was sitting on the throne to death, and did not rush to talk to him, nor did he rush to insert the spiral sword, but walked straight to the maid of the fire sacrifice ground.
"Oops, oops, there's an Ash Lord."
"My old woman is the maid of this fire ceremony, whether it is weapons, armor, props, or spells...... Everything you need to help you on your mission is ready. ”
"Of course, my old woman is also immortal, but I'm not doing charity."
"Lord Ash, go and take the soul, and bring it again."
Klein waited quietly for her to finish, and then spoke:
"I hope to finish digesting the potion."
A look of surprise flashed on the maid's old countenance:
"Ah, potions. Yes of course. ”
"If that's what you expect, then your potion will be digested as you wish."
"In return, I will claim the soul you have."
As soon as he finished speaking, another flame rose from Crane's body.
Klein could see that the amount of souls he had accumulated with great difficulty was rapidly decreasing, and the 300,000 souls had only 200,000 left. But at the same time, he also felt a sense of empowerment. He then went to the blacksmith to strengthen the primordial vials with the elemental fragments he found, and dispensed the gray primordial vials back to the normal primordial vials.
In this way, he can drink five sips of oranges.
With all of this done, Klein talked to the Gray Guy and Rudolph again. And just like the words of 'Moon' Emlyn and Miss 'Justice', there is no difference in the information they convey.
Crane thought for a moment, ended his conversation and returned to the brazier in the center of the fire ceremony, and inserted the spiral sword that had been drawn from Guda's chest into it.
Rumble!
With the piercing of the spiral sword, flames suddenly rose from the ashes that had already cooled in the brazier.
From this moment on, the transmission of fire can be regarded as the official beginning.
Klein was ready to continue his exploration, heading to the high walls of Lothric, and he wanted to test his limits.
According to his understanding of the content of the game, he can completely light the next two bonfires, or even kill the ice dogs, and go straight to the undead settlement.
But when Crane sat down in front of the campfire, he subconsciously closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed in the hotel. Renette Tinicol was standing on the edge of the bed, her four heads staring at him intently. At first glance, this scene is definitely scary enough.
Subconsciously looking out the window, the crimson moon was still hanging high in the sky.
"How long did I sleep?"
Crane asked with a frown.
Renette Tinicol replied:
"Two hours."
Klein realized, and it was roughly the same time he had experienced in his dreams.
In other words, the speed of time flow in reality and dreams is actually the same?
No, it shouldn't be that simple.
'Moon' spent less than eight hours on each expedition, or even less than half an hour, before he died at the hands of Mr. Guda. But every time he woke up, it was already dawn, which meant that once he died in a dream, the time of waking up was fixed to be dawn?
And if you take the initiative to get out of the dream, you can wake up early according to the time that has passed in the dream?
So, what if he explored the dream for more than eight hours in a row, or even a dozen or twenty hours? When will he wake up? Dawn? Or is it the corresponding amount of time that passes in reality?
"You can give it a try next time."
Klein silently kept this guess in his heart.
However, this is also the next time you enter the dream realm.
The most important thing now is ......
Crane closed his eyes, just as he had felt in his dreams, the Faceling' potion had been fully digested.
Although this digests a large number of souls, these souls can be obtained in dreams. Rounding up is equivalent to nothing to do, and the digestion of the potion can be completed while asleep.
But that doesn't mean that dreams can be applied to everyone.
For example, Klein spent 100,000 souls to digest the potion, which is one-third of the soul amount obtained by killing Guda-sensei.
And the ordinary living corpses in the ash graveyard only have 20 souls to kill one, and even if they kill all of them, they will only be less than 500. In other words, on the premise that he can't defeat Teacher Guda, it will take at least two hundred days to accumulate 100,000 souls just by killing ordinary living corpses to obtain souls.
On the other hand, if you want to defeat Guda-sensei, you have to be at least an extraordinary person in Sequence 6!
Because the strength of the extraordinaries below Sequence 6 is seriously insufficient, even if there is a rebound and rolling, it is impossible for them to defeat Guda-sensei. Even Sequence 6 is difficult, after all, not everyone can have such a deep understanding as Crane.
In other words, if other extraordinaries want to defeat Guda-sensei, there is a high probability that it will be sequence 5.
At this stage of Sequence 5, trying to digest potions is at least measured in years. Even with the blessing of the Playing Method, it will take three or five years or even longer to complete the digestion of the potion.
For these people, dreams are undoubtedly an unparalleled attraction.
And the extraordinary people who can reach Sequence 6 and even Sequence 5 basically have the support of a secret organization behind them. After all, it is too difficult for the Wild Extraordinary to become Sequence 5. Neither the access to potion recipes, nor the huge amount of money required to purchase potion recipes, is beyond the reach of the Wild Extraordinary.
In other words, the dream realm was originally intended for these extraordinary people who had a hidden organization platform behind them. In other words, Calula's purpose is to attract those hidden organizations to explore the dream!
Klein vaguely guessed the tip of the iceberg of the truth, but instead had an even bigger headache.
Other people really have backers, but he really doesn't!
If you just stick in your own way, you won't be in trouble, right?
"You're ......"
A voice rang out in Crane's ear, and Renette Tinicol was staring at him intently:
"...... in a dream", "saw ......", "what?"
Klein gathered his thoughts, but decided to tell Renette Tinicol everything about it. Of course, some details are omitted in between, so as not to be asked why he knows everything about dreams.
"Gotta find a way to find the mermaid......"
Crane thought silently as he recounted what he had seen and heard in his dream.
Originally, the main reason why he was not in a hurry to find the mermaid was because the 'Faceling' potion was far from being digested. So he was going to stay in the Rorsted Islands for a while, and then set off when the potion was almost digested.
But now that the potions have been thoroughly digested, the search for the mermaid has to be put on the agenda.
Ordinary merchant ships or passenger ships go up to the Central Sunia Sea, which is near the Rorsted Islands. Because further east is a paradise for pirates, even the military does not dare to enter that sea area easily.
The only ones who dared to take him into that sea, even deep into the East Sunia Sea, were pirates.
And among the people Klein knows, there are only three who have this ability-
Mr. 'The Hanged Man', Ms. 'The Hermit', 'Admiral of the Stars' Gadelia and 'Lieutenant General of the Iceberg' Edwinna.
Klein was the first to rule out the 'Hanging Man', because although the strength of the 'Hanging Man' is not bad, it is only Sequence 6 after all. Compared to the other two Sequence 5 pirate generals, there is obviously a big gap.
And Klein has a hunch that his trip this time is likely to go deep into the relics of the Divine War, and the stronger the companions, the better.
And between 'Hermit' and 'Iceberg Lieutenant General', Klein prefers the former.
Because the latter is known based on Ember's connections, while the former relies on his own connections, Mr. 'Fool'. With Mr. 'Fool' as a guarantor, 'Hermit' is undoubtedly more worthy of Crane's trust.
And in terms of strength, Lieutenant General Iceberg doesn't seem to be the type to be good at fighting......
Of course.
None of this is the point.
The point is, staying in the same boat as the 'Iceberg Vice Admiral' makes Klein very insecure! Since the last time he got the name from the mouth of 'Lieutenant General Iceberg', he had decided to keep his distance from the other party.
On the other hand, the 'Hermit' was saved by Mr. 'Fool', and she is grateful and in awe of 'Fool'. Klein didn't have the luxury of controlling the other party through this, but at least there was a foundation for this, and the 'hermit' could make him feel more at ease.
"However, the 'hermit' lady at this time should still be in the dream realm, right?"
Klein showed a thoughtful look, the pirate generals are not alone, most of them have their own forces behind them. For example, Ziringus, behind him is the Dusk Hermit Society, behind the Blood Admiral is the Rose School, and behind the Disease Admiral is the Witch Sect......
That's why Chillingers was ordered to assassinate Duke Negan, so Diseased Lieutenant Tracy was able to bring in the 'Witch of Immortality' Katerina Pelle without saying a word. If he hadn't called Mr. Azir at that time, he would have died without a place to bury.
In addition, there is a high probability that behind the 'Hell General' is the Spirit Order and the 'King of the Five Seas', behind the 'Star General' is the 'Morse Ascetic', and behind the 'Iceberg Admiral' is the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom......
In theory, these pirate generals are the best candidates to enter the dream realm-
Their strength is in Sequence 5, and they all have a strong hidden organization behind them.
Even the 'Lieutenant General of the Iceberg', she may have entered the dream realm.
After all, the one behind her and the builder of the dream are most likely acquaintances. This plan, the other party may not have participated in it......
Hiss!
Crane changed color slightly, almost gasping.
Originally, he was just diverging his thinking, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and his scalp was numb. Since they both came out of the world of painting, how could they not be connected?
Calula is already an angel, and the one behind the iceberg lieutenant general is even higher.
The strength of the others is at least not inferior to that of Kalula. According to conservative estimates, there are more than ten or twenty angels, and even if they are at the level of sequence 0, they may not be absent.
In addition, there are still some of them who have the soul of the king, and the real strength is probably far more than that, even if it does not reach the level of the ancient sun god in the past, it must be stronger than the true god of ordinary sequence 0!
The corners of Klein's eyes twitched, not knowing what to say.
Forget it, these have nothing to do with him, he better honestly find a way to promote to Sequence 5 first.
In short, I would like to contact Ms. 'Hermit' first.
After thinking about it, Crane looked at Renette Tinicole, who was lost in thought about the experience he had told him. And the other party also seemed to be aware of Klein's gaze, Renette. Tinicole tapped all four heads at the same time, and then returned to the spirit realm.
——
Aking from her dream, Gardelia, the 'Star General', opened her eyes and sighed softly.
As 'Moon' and Miss 'Justice' described, the knight named 'Guda' was at least as powerful as a demigod. The advice given by Mr. Fool, though effective, made her more and more in awe of the power of the gods.
But alas, the knight named Guda seems to have other powers.
When he released that thick black substance, Gardelia couldn't resist it and was eventually killed by it.
However, this is the first time after all.
Gadelia believes that if she is given a few more chances, she will be able to defeat Guda sooner or later.
Just as she was thinking about it, Gadelia suddenly saw a flower in front of her eyes, and saw the gray fog in the air, and the "fool" sitting on a high-backed chair in the depths of the gray mist, looking down on everything, and saw a figure who was praying sincerely with his hands clasped in front of his face:
"Fools who don't belong to this era."
"Please tell the Hermit Lady that I need her help with something."
"I hope to communicate with her alone......"
The illusory voice vanished, but Gardelia's expression became solemn.
Mr. 'World' needs her help?
What could it be?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Gadelia chose to respond.
Building a good relationship with the members of the Tarot Society is not a bad thing for her.
Of course, the premise is that this matter is not so troublesome.
