Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Chapter 508 Storm Hill, the next target is...

night.

Nimgefu is located in the south of Yakir Lake, next to the ancient ruins by the sea.

Still at Yura's original position, Li You dug a small pit in the ground under the ruins, and then thrust the spiral sword directly into the ground diagonally. Flames immediately rose from the pit, illuminating the surrounding area.

Then, Li You waved, took a freshly skewered barbecue skewer from Edgar on the side, and placed it on the spiral sword to grill.

The firepower of the spiral sword can be controlled by Li You at will, so he controlled the heat just right. The meat skewers quickly became crispy and oily, exuding an alluring aroma.

V sat aside, drinking a small drink, and complained: "You use this thing to barbecue? If those salary kings in the past knew about it, I'm afraid they would crawl out of the fire and chase you."

Li You said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not trying to be lazy. The meat roasted with the flame of the spiral sword has special effects."

What he said is true. After all, it is a flame with a trace of the power of the first fire. It is invincible when used in battle. If you have to use it to cook... it will indeed have special effects and can enhance the physique of the eater in a short time. and vitality.

But V still said: "I think you just want to be lazy."

Just as he was talking, Aiji was holding a big bow in front, and Yuzi was dragging a giant crab of the same style from Dark Souls World behind him. They walked back from the shore of Yakir Lake and asked Li You: "Can you eat this? "

Li You glanced at it: "I'm a little afraid that it has parasites, so I'll forget it. If you want to eat it... But we don't have a pot here, so just bake it."

He fumbled around in the system backpack a few times, took out a bunch of seasoning bottles, and said, "Aggie, you can do this."

"OK."

On the side, Irena asked uneasily: "Um, is there anything I can do to help?"

Li You looked at her: "Then please help me lay out the picnic mat and tableware."

Irena was born with poor eyesight and was nearly blind, so she was always well cared for. But since she feels that she is the only one who has done nothing, it would be fine to arrange some simple tasks for her.

The specific cooking process will be skipped for now. Li You's cooking skills are average, but he prepared enough seasonings, so he can handle it. As for why he stuffed a large bag of seasonings in the system backpack, only he knows.

Soon, everyone sat around the fire and had dinner.

Although it was just a simple barbecue, Edgar and Irena also ate it with gusto, and the latter was even more amazed: "I have never eaten anything so delicious!"

This is normal. After all, modern seasonings in the Middle Ages would naturally be a dimensionality reduction blow. Li You smiled and handed Edgar a wine glass and asked, "Where do you plan to go next?"

Edgar took the cup, paused, and then said: "I have asked my trusted subordinates to deliver a message to Lord Greg. I will resign as the Lord of Moren City and take Irena to find a place to settle down."

"The border area is very messy now, but if you want to find it, you can still find a place to rest. Besides, I have not forgotten my housekeeping skills."

As a knight, Edgar's martial arts skills are indeed superb. He was hit by a lion hybrid before because of his weapons. Li You also nodded: "In that case, I wish you a safe journey!"

Everyone present who could drink raised their glasses, paid tribute to each other, and drank it all in one gulp.

——Earlier today, after defeating the lion hybrids and regaining the Great Sword, the rebellious hybrids who had lost their backbone were quickly suppressed, and peace returned to Morn City.

But at this time, those soldiers in the past had already suffered heavy losses, and only one-tenth of them survived.

Edgar immediately announced that he would resign as city lord, arranged the messenger and handover matters, and then took Irena and set off with Li You and others without delay.

As for why he set off with Li You and the others, it was actually a request from Edgar.

During the battle against the lion hybrid, Edgar, who saw Li You's strength, asked Li You almost immediately after the battle, hoping that he could hold the sword.

Edgar said that the Sword Skeleton Sword is a priceless treasure, but it should not be placed in a treasure house and never see the light of day. It would be better to give it to a warrior like Li You.

What he said was indeed sincere, but at the same time, there was a small exchange condition, that is, he hoped to act together with Li You and his party until they reached the northern checkpoint of Lake Yakir.

Naturally, Li You would not refuse this small request. He put away the big sword and took the father and daughter with him.

Apart from anything else, having them in the team has an obvious advantage, that is, when passing bridges and checkpoints, you no longer need to take detours to avoid or bribe with runes, you can just let Edgar swipe your face. This is so convenient. .

As for Patch, he did not come back with Li You and the others. To be precise, after Li You met Edgar, he never showed his face again. He seemed to be busy "replenishing goods."

Li You is not worried about him. Patch can live from the Demon Soul era to the old ring. His vitality is so strong that even he, Li, can't compare to him. It is impossible to encounter unexpected events in a place like this. Just let him be.

When the group of people crossed the bridge and the checkpoint of the Greik Army and arrived at the southern part of Yakir Lake, the sky was already completely dark.

Li You and the others didn't care, but Edgar said that the border at night was more dangerous than during the day, and he strongly advised not to travel at night. Considering that there is indeed a boss in the game that only appears at night, Li You did not insist on his own opinion and decided to rest on the spot.

So there was a scene of everyone sitting by the campfire and eating barbecue.

During the meal, Irena once again expressed her sincere gratitude to Li You, saying that if it weren't for Li You, she might not be able to meet her father again. Li You accepted her thanks frankly, after all, what she said was the truth...

After the meal, everyone chatted briefly, rested for a while, and then went to bed. The combatants took turns to guard the night, and the first one was Edgar.

But at this time, Li You found him and whispered to him: "... After you settle down, be careful of those guys related to the Mad Fire, stay away from them."

Edgar was stunned: "Mad Fire? Why are they related to us?"

As a lost knight, he still knew about the Mad Fire, but he only heard about it and never thought that it would be related to him.

Li You said: "You may not believe me, but I can see some trajectories of fate. You and your daughter have the shadow of Mad Fire behind you. If you get entangled with it, I'm afraid the ending will be unpredictable."

After hearing this, Edgar's face became very serious: "... I understand, thank you for your reminder."

If someone else said this, Edgar might not pay attention to him at all, but since it was Li You who said this, he had to pay attention to it.

Li You also nodded, and this was all he could do.     As mentioned before, Edgar and Irena, father and daughter, their branch line is actually deeply related to the "Mad Fire" mentioned just now.

Mad Fire is the fire of chaos. As its name suggests, it is a terrifying yellow flame associated with madness. Its meaning of existence is to pursue the burning of everything and turn it back into the chaotic "one".

As for Irena, her original fate was to die on the roadside, and her body would be occupied by another soul later, a soul that pursued Mad Fire and intended to become a Mad Fire Witch. As for Edgar, he should have been one of the sacrifices for the birth of the Mad Fire Witch.

The Mad Fire ending is also one of the optional endings of the Elden Ring, but as Li You said before, he would never choose this ending.

If you become the King of Mad Fire, it means burning all the lives and even everything in the border area, and returning the whole world to chaos.

Li You is not an antisocial personality. It's okay to complete all achievements in the game and go to the King of Mad Fire ending. In the current world, he certainly can't do that.

So the King of Mad Fire ending was excluded from the route options by Li You without thinking about it at the first time. As for Edgar and Irena, I have already rescued them, so it is natural to remind them.

After this step, Li You can't help them any more, and the rest depends on them.

After finishing the conversation with Edgar, Li You also lay down in the corner and closed his eyes to rest.

No words all night.

The next day.

Since the morning, the weather has been very refreshing. There are no clouds today. Looking up, only the light of the golden tree is spreading all over the earth.

So the group set off very early. They set off northward along the road on the east bank of Lake Yakir, taking the route of the previous convoy. Because Aji was on guard all the way, they had a smooth journey, and the northern checkpoint of Lake Yakir was soon visible.

"Reach the center of the universe, in front of the checkpoint! Nimgfu is so beautiful!" Li You looked at the pass and muttered, "Oh, isn't this a noble? Let's take a look at the distant Stonewell City, family."

V beside him looked puzzled: "What are you mumbling about?"

"It's okay, just a joke." Li You responded casually, "Anyway, just know that this place is worth visiting."

"...Really?" V looked at the checkpoint in front, which was a simple checkpoint built in the middle of the mountain pass. In front of it was a ruin that could be seen everywhere, and there were two carriages of the same model that they had robbed before. She really didn't understand what was worth visiting.

Aiji had a face that was already used to it. Li You had done similar operations in more than one world, and he always kept saying something like "pilgrimage to the holy land". Now she was too lazy to ask more.

There were many soldiers of Grek scattered around the avenue and ruins in front of the level, and there was a knight wearing heavy armor and carrying a large shield leading the patrol, which was a scene of strict vigilance.

However, there was no need to fight. Edgar still brushed his face and led Li You and his party through this place without being attacked by the soldiers. Then, he took Irena and said goodbye to Li You and his party.

Li You estimated that Edgar probably still wanted to take Irena to another area bordering Nimgefu, Lake Lienia, which was the area ruled by the magic academy and the royal family of Kalia mentioned earlier. In the original game, he lived there when he turned into a crazy avenger.

The two sides did not say much, simply said goodbye, and then separated. Li You could not keep watching them, so he could only wish the father and daughter good luck.

After the two left, Li You also followed the road and walked a distance towards the city of Stonewell. After passing the pass just now, the next road is to continue upward, and they have arrived at Storm Hill.

The city of Stonewell is the center of power in the Nimgfu region. Its name means "Storm Veil" and it was once the Storm King's City.

Today's Stonewell is said to have lost the real storm, but even so, after setting foot on the hill here, you can still clearly feel the sudden strong wind. When you look up at the towering castle in the distance, you can see the towering castle above it. Thick clouds that never dissipated also obscured the sky.

However, Li You was not in a hurry to continue moving forward. After walking up for a while, he stopped at a broken house next to Storm Hill. Not only was there a blessing point here, but there was even a stone next to it that he had seen in the Drifting Cave before. There was a small tree with golden twigs, and Li You also picked up a golden seed underneath it.

Jifu still didn't respond to him, and Li You didn't care. He came to the broken house nearby, inserted the spiral sword into the ground, and lit up the campfire again.

"Let's briefly discuss our future goals." Li You said to his companions.

The others naturally had no objection and sat around the campfire to listen to Li You's explanation.

"I said before that the goal to be achieved in this world is to burn that tree over there to ashes." Li You pointed at the golden tree at the end of the sky, "But in fact that is just an exaggeration. We want to ignite that tree." A tree, but it is a means rather than an end. The ultimate goal is to enter the interior of the golden tree and see the Elden Ring.”

Everyone listened quietly.

"The laws and governance model of the border area are, in short, the system of gods and kings. The gods are responsible for undertaking and enforcing the law. The law is the operating rules of everything in the border area, and the king is the companion of God and needs to stand. The power at the top of the pyramid, and the ability to govern the intersection.”

Li You briefly explained the rules of law operation in the border area, "As I said before, Malika, the original eternal queen of the god, chose to smash the Elden Ring, the incarnation of the law, and thus caused chaos in the border area. And our goal is to choose new laws for the borderlands and start a new era.”

"Of course, this is a mission in this world. Personally, finding Kara is a higher priority for me." Li You immediately added, "But fortunately, at this stage, these two goals do not conflict."

"Kara seems to have gone to the north. That can only be reached by passing through the royal city Rodel under the golden tree and walking further. And just in time, to see the Elden Ring, we also need to enter the royal city and go further north. Giant snow mountain.

"So for now, we only need to focus on how to enter the royal city of Rodel."

V raised his hand obediently.

"Classmate V, what's the problem?" Li You turned to her.

V was very cooperative: "So, teacher, how can we enter the royal city of Rodel?"

Li You smiled: "Good question. The royal city is sealed. If you want to enter the royal city, you need the Elden Ring fragments held by the demigods--the big runes, and you need two of them."

Of course, there are other ways to get to the Royal City. For example, there is a Return Tower on the Weeping Peninsula. There is a trap treasure box on the top of the tower that can be teleported to the Divine Bridge of the Royal City; or looking at it from another angle, it is not impossible for Li You to fly directly there and take a gamble on the Royal City. The seal did not reach heaven.

However, in addition to the need to advance the main line, the more critical thing is that Li You is not sure where Kara has arrived. Therefore, in order to complete the system tasks at the same time and avoid missing out, it is best to defeat the demigods honestly and collect the big runes... not to mention there are achievements to get.

The only noteworthy question is that if Kara really went to the north, then she should also have two big runes. Which demigod would they belong to?

But there is no need to tell these to his companions. Li You summed it up simply: "So next, our goal is to find those demigods who hold the big runes, defeat them, and take away the big runes!"

He looked at Stonewell City at the highest point of Storm Hill: "'Grek the limb,' is the first prey!"
