The clock struck midnight, and the sound of beetle leaves scraping echoed in the quiet corridors of the castle.
Many people seemed to appear out of thin air on the third floor where Lu Yu was located. Their footsteps came from the far end of the corridor and seemed so dense.
Lulu, who was leaning on the edge of the door and listening carefully, asked: "Where do these knights who change shifts come from?"
"Good question. I've been wandering around the castle for three days, and I only know that they came down from the upper floor. But so far, I haven't gone to the eighth floor, so I don't know if they all gathered on the eighth floor." Serra answer.
"Why didn't you go? The knights here are very weak. You should be able to defeat them, right?"
"I saw several magician's workshops on the seventh floor. They were studying potions and scrolls inside, and the rooms around them were basically filled with magician apprentices. These people's perception and strength were stronger than those of the knights. Very It’s hard to say that the puppets on the eighth floor won’t be more powerful. The magic power inside the moon-carved barrier is significantly stronger than the outside world. The effectiveness of the magic circle here and the magic used by the puppet magicians are also unusual and astonishingly powerful, so you need to be extra careful. Pay attention to enemies who use magic, they are very different from knights who rely on strength and skill."
Lulu recalled the talking magician she had killed before. Although Sera thought it was a doll, Lulu still felt something was strange.
The mist demon that was observing the situation in the corridor for Lu Yu floated back.
"The voice has become much quieter. It seems that the shift has been completed."
Sierra nodded and picked up the box: "Remember, leave no doll behind."
Although he was assigned to a group with Lulu, Lu Yu did not disperse the summoned object Xiaowan. There was so much magic power in the Moon Engraving Barrier and his absorption speed was fast, so he could fully afford the consumption. If he encountered special circumstances, this The marbles all over the place can also absorb and enlarge the small bowl, allowing it to withstand an attack.
After a while, Lu Yu met a team of three knights. Although he already knew that they were puppets, Lu Yu was still amazed by their facial expressions and body movements when they encountered the enemy.
The three knights first showed extremely natural surprise, and then they all pulled out the long swords from their waists. One of them even raised the shield on his back and quickly stepped forward to provide cover for his teammates.
A very smooth set of reactions, consistent with the reaction of a well-trained knight when encountering an enemy.
If they had met some new warriors, they might have been able to compete, but unfortunately they were facing Lulu.
With Sera's reminder, Lulu did not use flames, but controlled the night wind blowing in from the window, and silently slit the throats of the two knights.
Extremely realistic blood gushes out like a fountain, splattering all over the last knight and dyeing the silver armor blood red.
Wait, why is there still one left?
"The last one is for you. You need to continue to accumulate some practical experience. Whether it's a summoned object or the magic I taught you, use it to kill him!"
Lulu said with a smile: "Didn't you hope to become a high-level magician? Now I have to start fulfilling my promise. Do what I say, quickly!"
"Small bowl, become bigger!"
The small bowl on Lu Yu's shoulder jumped to the ground, he grabbed the marble wall on the side and sucked it. After a while, a big hole was made in the outer wall, and the original small yellow bowl turned into the grayish white of the wall tiles.
tune.
Naturally, the remaining knight did not stand still. He wanted to rush straight towards Lu Yu, but was unable to move even an inch due to the wind caused by Lu Yu.
Lulu was very pleased to see the smooth and smooth spell-casting movements that were exactly the same as her own.
That's right. Although Vanessa is great, her skills were developed hundreds of years ago. Learning from yourself is the right way.
The play method is also very correct. The summoner should not be stubborn, hide behind the summoned object and throw some interference magic, and let the summoned object do the rest... Why is this bowl so big?
The night wind blew in through the holes made in the small bowl, blowing Lulu's hair into a mess and making her hair dance wildly.
Facing the gray-white bowl that suddenly grew in size, the knight made a very humane move—escape!
Unfortunately, Lu Yu unleashed a speed-increasing magic on Dawan, causing Dawan to rush forward in rapid strides and slamming him into the wall.
Although there was no joy in dealing with such miscellaneous soldiers, Lu Yu still turned his head and wanted to hear Lulu's comments.
Lulu hurriedly tidied up her messed up hair, and then said calmly: "You finally look like a normal summoner this time."
"What does it mean to be like, wasn't I a normal summoner before?"
Lulu walked to the big bowl, looked at it, and kicked its strong body with her feet.
"You actually think that what you did before is something that a normal summoner can do..." Lulu chuckled, "The Flesh Chariot, the Demon-Eating Tree, and the Piano, these are your three most useful summons so far.
You are not a complete monster, but when these three summons are present, how have you ever acted like a normal person?"
Lu Yu teased: "Don't put the Demon-Eating Tree together with the other two. I think it's normal enough."
"If a tree is full of eyeballs, these eyeballs will fall down, stick to the enemy and explode, which is called normal..."
"All in all, the technique Orkus gave you is pretty good. This is the most common collaborative battle between summoners and summoned objects."
Lulu was particularly satisfied with Lu Yu's ability to defeat enemies in ordinary ways. Strange summons were used to deal with powerful enemies, while ordinary summons were used to deal with daily life. This was the normal rhythm.
The sweep went very smoothly. There were no magician dolls on the entire third floor. Ordinary knights could not deal with these two ruthless people like Lulu and Sera. Not long after everyone set off, the entire third floor fell into a deathly silence.
You can't hear the "snap" sound caused by the metal hitting the ground.
Even though everyone was bleeding like a river and walking in the blood, there was not a trace of bloody smell in the air.
After meeting again, everyone confirmed the current situation, and then officially began to explore the various rooms on the third floor. If the door could not be opened normally, violence would be used.
Lu Yu opened a door and probed into the room to observe.
The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, with a bed and bedding scattered around on the bed.
There is a bedside table with a wooden kettle and a few cups placed on the cabinet.
On a clothes rack hung a pair of armor and some linens.
In the rooms that were opened subsequently, there was no difference in furnishings and everything was exactly the same.
Lu Yu was not surprised by this result. When Sera explained the difference between soulless puppets and dolls to him before, he was a little confused and replaced the two with NPCs in the game to understand, and it suddenly became clear to him.
Cheerful.
The so-called soulless puppets are those passerby NPCs that have little interaction with the player. They can only speak fixed lines and walk a fixed route. No matter how you interfere, it will be ineffective.
The dolls in the castle are high-level NPCs that can interact with the player and provide timely feedback based on the player's reaction and input instructions.
The difference between the two is how much content the coder fills in for this NPC and how many scenes are arranged.
If expanded, the entire castle can actually be simply considered a game. The operating magic circle is the underlying code that ensures the operation of the game. The death and resurrection of the doll is actually a refresh and reset. The purpose of this system is to prevent the entire castle from appearing due to this.
Logic conflicts and eventually gets stuck.
Once this template is applied, the same rooms can be explained.
When building the castle, the puppeteer used a simple and crude method of copying and pasting.
Gu Xin
What these puppets in the castle did after returning to their rooms was actually exactly the same, because the puppeteer who wrote the code for them was lazy and chose to copy and paste in this regard.
In fact, it is understandable that these rooms for the dolls to live in are relatively irrelevant to what the dolls do after entering the room. All the puppet master requires is that they can function normally. These locked rooms themselves deny access.
, no one will pay attention.
Once he understood it, Lu Yu felt that it was boring for them to open every room to look inside, because there was a high probability that every room would be the same.
Sure enough, when more than a dozen doors were opened one after another, the interior furnishings were exactly the same.
Opening a room again, Lulu was still standing outside to guard Lu Yu, while Lu Yu entered it with the mentality of looking for differences and rummaged through the cabinets.
Listening to the movement in the room, Lulu couldn't help but yawn, then grabbed the small bowl that had become smaller again and could be played in the palm of her hand, poked it upside down with her fingers while it was standing still, and then looked at it.
Without hands, it struggled to turn over.
The evil-minded Lulu smiled like a child who found a new toy.
"You are much cuter than Lu Yu's previous summons." It was obviously a compliment, but Lulu pressed her finger lightly on the small bowl to prevent him from turning over.
The poor little bowl was played with by Lulu.
Lulu suddenly raised her head and looked into the room. The sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets seemed to have stopped.
"Lu Yu."
"Um."
"Well, what do you mean? This room should be the same. Let's go to the next one."
Lulu poked her head into the room and saw Lu Yu staring blankly at the bed. She curiously came to the side and raised her head to cut off the bed with a wind blade.
"Isn't there nothing here? Why are you staring blankly?" Lulu smiled and raised the small bowl in her hand. "Your son is in my hand. If he continues to be dazed, he will cry to his summoner not to let him go."
It’s gone.”
Lu Yu turned around, smiled and said, "I understand."
Lulu blinked her eyes and frowned slightly, but then relaxed.
While walking in the corridor, Lu Yu always put his hand on his chin and looked at his toes as he walked, as if he was thinking about something.
Lulu, who was very enthusiastic about teasing Xiao Wan, noticed that Lu Yu didn't say a word for a long time and entered the room very slowly to search. She couldn't help but ask: "Are you tired?"
Seeing Lu Yu gasping for breath but not speaking when he walked out of the room, Lulu smiled and said, "If you are tired, I will start looking for differences in the next room, and you can rest for a while."
"That's fine."
Lulu skipped and walked in front of Lu Yu, turning around from time to time, her eyes bent into small crescents, watching Lu Yu walk backwards.
At this time, she may be more like a rabbit than Sera, and she is so energetic that she almost never stops.
Lulu fumbled with her pocket, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Before setting off, she casually picked up a few pieces of dried meat on the table and put them into her pocket. She didn't remember it until she put her hand in just now.
She proudly took out the dried meat and waved it in Lu Yu's face: "Look what this is, seabass. Tell me if you want to eat it. Just tell me and I will give it to you."
Lu Yu didn't speak, just watched Lulu's hand dangling quietly.
With Lu Yu staring at her blankly, Lulu's smile disappeared little by little, and she said uneasily in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you are tired, I'll give it to you, eat it quickly."
Lu Yu took the dried meat and said thank you with a smile. He first looked at the dried meat carefully, and then...
Lu Yu put the dried meat into his pocket...
Lulu looked at this action and was stunned.
She raised her head, a cold light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Blazing firelight appeared out of thin air around her, and the uneasiness on her face turned into anger.
The guilt for teasing Lu Yu turned into raging anger at this moment.
"You're not a bass..."
Lu Yu was silent.
"Who the hell are you!"
Lu Yu smiled: "What are you talking about? Can I be anyone else?"
The astonishingly high temperature turned the marble behind Lulu red, and the entire corridor was filled with steam.
"Let me remind you, Lu Yu likes to eat very much. If he feels very tired, he will definitely eat something to reward himself, and..."
"Lu Yu would not put dried meat in his pocket. The clothes you are wearing now are the few clothes Lu Yu brought with him when he came here. He cherishes these clothes very much and says they are thoughts of that world.
When eating, be careful not to let the rice soup stick to it, in case the stains are too stubborn to be washed off."
"And you actually put the dried meat in like this, and you still dare to say that you are a bass!"
The strong magic fluctuations alerted her companions in the distance. Sera rushed over and saw Lulu, who was about to lose control of her magic power.
"Didn't I say not to use magic..."
Sera was stunned when she saw that the target of Lulu's magic was Lu Yu.
Did Lu Yu do something to Lulu?
Sera, who was confused for a moment, quickly threw this idea out of her mind. Based on her understanding of Lu Yu, this person was not that bad.
"Lulu, what are you doing? Be careful with your magic. If this distance gets out of control, Lu Yu will be dead!"
Lulu turned around and said word by word: "This person is not my bass at all!"
"Take a good look at him, he is just a fake."
"Who are you and when did you hide Lu Yu?"
"Lu Yu" slowly raised his hand, the silver-white liquid in his hand began to flow, and his palm turned into a sharp sword blade.
It seemed as if it couldn't feel the high temperature in front of it, and rushed towards Lulu with a grin.
