Chapter 17 The Prophet, The Way to Harness the Void
Since the opportunity did not come to him, he had to find it in person. Lu Zhengkang left the cave, passed through the passage, and entered the core area of the resting place.
There is something different here. There are many coffins arranged on the ground, all in one direction, implying a certain view of life and death.
The underground cave is like a well, with the main building above. Looking up, there are many step-like platforms extending from the cave wall, separated by one. On both sides are platforms in front of the building. There are special steps on the central axis, building platforms.
They are all on the same level. The staircase platform is at the gap between the two-story building platforms, extending upward in a staggered manner.
Lu Zhengkang jumped up level by level. These platforms were surrounded by metal carved fences to prevent falling. The number of platforms was slightly more than in the game, but it was also limited. On the way, he saw a strange sapling, with a deep red color and branches.
It is as strong as an old pine, and its curled twigs are like wheels. This is the tree of dreams, which collects wandering dreams. If you have a dream nail, you can get inspiration from it.
There is a door behind the building platforms on both sides. Moths must have lived there in the past, but I don't know if there are still insects living there now. Judging from the way the door is closed, it must be quite choked.
Lu Zhengkang, who was wearing the Gruz Talisman, jumped easily, fast and high. After a while, he arrived at a building platform with road signs. At first glance, he saw that it was a stag-horned insect station, which was not surprising.
Arriving at the top floor of the resting place, the highest building platform, the ceiling is arched and smooth, not a rough cave roof.
The door of the house behind the building platform was open, and Lu Zhengkang looked around. There was light in the darkness, not just light, but many floating light spots. From time to time, a ghost howling silently appeared, and there was a
The rickety figure sat between the red velvet curtains, and his face could not be seen clearly.
Lu Zhengkang shouted, "Are you the prophet?"
An old, kind insect language came from the house, "Ah, there is an unexpected visitor, please come in."
Lu Zhengkang stepped into the hut as he was told. The air here was heavy and turbid. Several lanterns on the ceiling could not completely illuminate the darkness on the walls of the room. It was as if he was in a dark plain. There was only light in one place, and the rest were dangerous.
shadow.
In such a dangerous and terrifying atmosphere, the moth prophet is like an eternal beacon and a warm bonfire.
She is a real old grandma. The vicissitudes of time have piled heavily on her body, but she has no signs of dying. What is revealed from her cloudy eyes is only the longing for the future. Such a bright moon-like
The characters are definitely unforgettable.
Lu Zhengkang bowed solemnly and said, "Great prophet, this junior has come to find a way to defeat the radiation."
This is a very inappropriate question, because the moth family once believed in radiation. They were created by radiation and were members of radiation. However, they later betrayed and forgotten for some unknown reason. But radiation still exists and spreads.
Following the whisper of faith, that is, the infection, the radiation will return one day, and these betrayers who recall the radiation are also experiencing the pain of regret.
Now Lu Zhengkang’s question undoubtedly exposes this scar that will never heal.
The prophet was silent for a long time. For an old lady like her, it is easy to fall into the memory of the past. Lu Zhengkang waited in silence.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was distracted." The prophet whispered softly, "I understand your purpose. There is indeed something wrong with the seal, and now it must be broken. It's a good idea for you to have this idea, but you are not born with this qualification.
, you can’t even enter the black egg, the terrifying power will drain your life away. Give up this idea.”
Lu Zhengkang said: "I know that only containers can defeat the radiation, because they are the abyss of the void and will not be drained of their vitality by the power of black eggs. But is it possible that ordinary insects can also control the power of the void?
Like King Bai, I want to try to see if I can integrate the power of the void into my body."
The prophet exclaimed at Lu Zhengkang's boldness, "Ah! What an imaginative proposal! Yes, yes, the power of the void can be harnessed, but it is full of dangers. Even with complete preparations, there is no guarantee that it will not be swallowed by the abyss.
.A person as powerful as King Bai only chooses to use the void by making containers, but you are bolder than him!"
Lu Zhengkang was overjoyed. It turned out that his idea was really feasible!
"So, how can we be considered completely prepared?"
The prophet sighed, "There is absolutely no need for you to take risks. The expelled containers have been coming back one after another. Not long ago, a Hollow Knight got the Dream Nail and embarked on that difficult road."
"Dream Nail?"
"The Dream Nail is an artifact that can penetrate reality and dreams. With it, you can feel the thoughts of insects. With it, you can see the residual dreams of dead insects. With it, you can enter the dream keeper's mind.
Dreamland, defeat them and break the seal of the Black Egg Temple."
Of course Lu Zhengkang knows what the Dream Nail is, and he also knows that collecting the essence of the dream will gradually awaken the Dream Nail. Once fully awakened, all seals can be broken, which is related to the hidden true ending of the game, the killing radiation!
The prophet murmured, "The wielder failed, and I know that the Dream Nail returned to the dreamland until the next vessel took it."
This news was like a shock to Lu Zhengkang.
"I would like to ask the prophet, does the wielder you mentioned, the Hollow Knight who obtained the Dream Nail, have three horns?"
"Yes, you know him?"
"To a certain extent." Lu Zhengkang still suspected that the dead Hollow Knight was the broken container in the game, but there were so many containers, it was hard to tell if there were any that looked similar.
I also got an important piece of news from the prophet, that is, after the owner of the Dream Nail dies, the Dream Nail will return to the dreamland. It seems that the Dream Nail is unique. Unfortunately, Lu Zhengkang still thought that it was a mass-produced artifact.
If possible, I might as well do it myself.
If you can't get the Dream Nail, you won't be able to fight the radiation. It seems that Lu Zhengkang's plan has completely gone bankrupt.
"Is there anything else you want to know?" The prophet was not impatient.
"I still want to know how to harness the void!"
"Okay, I only know some steps. You still need to explore the details. First, you must have a strong will to prevent being swallowed by the void. This doesn't seem to be difficult for you.
The most important thing is that you must have a protective shield that is not corroded by the void, that is, the mask. This is a tool designed by the White King to bind the void. The material is the root of Queen White Lady of Hallownest, and then the weavers who live in the Deep Nest
Made into masks.
With these, you are almost qualified to go to the abyss deep in the ancient basin. Whether you can control the void in the end depends on your will to defeat it." The prophet sighed, "To be honest, I don't know if the void is real.
If you have the will, perhaps what will defeat you is not a strong enemy, but the torture of long darkness and loneliness."
Lu Zhengkang nodded, "I don't want to take such a risk unless I have to. If the Hollow Knights can't kill the radiation, then I will inherit the Dream Nail, and the mission of the container will be completed by me. My heart is eager to kill
God’s great deeds, this will be my glory forever and ever!”
At this time, what he revealed in his words was pure murderous intent, without the impurities of hesitation and shrinkage. Only desire, like firewood, kept the flames of murderous intent burning more vigorously.
"So that's it. You are a true warrior. Such insects are rare. When Hallownest is prosperous, your road will be difficult, but in such a broken world, your future will be smooth!" the prophet praised.
