Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Soon after Ida woke up, Revik and Zerro also gradually opened their eyes. After they regained consciousness, Zermor told them about the recent changes in Holy Nest.

The king was missing, the residents had relocated in large numbers, Hallownest had been occupied by another force... and so on, but everything sounded as unrealistic as a dream to them.

Ida was silent for a long time, and finally asked unwillingly: "Has the king given up on us?"

"It's better to say that they just abandoned the entire Holy Nest. Humph, it's just as Big Brother said..."

Ze Ruo sneered disdainfully, feeling inexplicably relieved in his heart.

His ideas have long been influenced by Marcos. Although he is a guard, he is an out-and-out Radiant.

If Zeruo had said this in the past, his head would have rolled to the ground in the next second because of Zemor's bone nails, but the latter did not deny Zeruo's words at this time.

She woke up much earlier than the other three, so she had time to explore Hallownest.

But this investigation made her feel disappointed. The White King was nowhere to be found, and her old friend's life or death was unknown. Having lost her faith, she planned to leave this land and go away at that moment. However, she did not expect to meet another important person in her life on the way back.

The appearance of Kunule is undoubtedly a ray of light in the darkness. Zemor knows her and sympathizes with her because of their very similar situations. However, unlike her, Kunule has a clearer understanding of the current situation.

This clarity comes from the pain of being connected by blood.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

The silence caused by Zeruo's words did not last long before it was broken by Revick's trembling voice. She bit her lips tightly and looked at Zemor with red eyes.

The latter didn't say anything, but he had already answered her.

Without saying a word, Rivik stood up and ran out of the house. Seeing this, Ida also hurriedly got up and caught up with him. After they left, Zeruo didn't plan to stay here any longer.

"If you are reluctant to leave this place, then find a place to stay. Otherwise, it is better to leave."

After they left the house, Zemor's voice came from the house again, as if giving an admonition.

......

"Since we are going to look for Hera's body, we naturally need to do some research. Delia, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."

The White Lady sighed softly. Although she wanted to accomplish something big, she had too few manpower now, and the core members could not move around freely. It was a pity for Delia to always do thankless tasks.

"My Queen, can you allow me to go with Knight Drya?"

Quirrell stepped forward, his eyes determined.

"Hera is in the Deep Nest, which is very close to the Abyss, which is the enemy's base camp. It is extremely dangerous. You..."

"Don't worry, Queen. Things are different now. I believe I can help Knight Drya."

Monomon wanted to speak up to stop him when he saw his back, but when he saw his back, he gave up the idea and smiled.

He has already been able to handle things on his own, so why should I worry about it?

"But......"

The White Lady looked towards Monomon, who did not say anything. Instead, Delia beside him spoke up and said, "He is very capable, and one more helper means more possibilities. Queen, please accept his request."

Seeing this, the White Lady said no more. She had been worried about Delia's safety as a single person, and now it was just as the latter said, so why would she refuse an extra helper?

"Well, then you can go with Drya, but you two must remember..."

She took two steps forward, looked back and forth between the two, and said sternly, "Put your own safety first!"

"As ordered!"

......

The place where Zemor lived was extremely secretive, beneath the Soul Swamp, and the path was hidden underground. It took Ida and Revik some effort to leave there.

Revik was eager to return home, and Ida understood her worries, but she had to persuade her to calm down for the time being. The main city might have changed hands now, and there was no telling what kind of dangerous insects were inside. If they rushed in rashly, they might be in crisis before achieving their goal.

After this persuasion and the long journey, Rivik's anxious heart gradually calmed down. Although he was still worried, he was much calmer.

Her eyes were red and she hugged Ida's shoulders tightly. The heroic figure who sweated profusely in the training ground in her memory now looked as helpless as a child.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Ida gently stroked her shoulder and led her all the way to the main city.

The elevator made too much noise and would easily attract attention, but if he took a detour, not only would the journey be longer but the risk would also be greater. Ida looked at the hinge extending downward next to the elevator and immediately had an idea.

"hold me."

"Ah."

Revik held Ida's waist tightly. The latter wrapped his palms with cloth, jumped up, hooked the hinges, and fell downwards like flying. When he was about to reach the ground, he let go of his hands again and continued to fall to the ground.

Normally, if one fell at such a high speed, he would be seriously injured if not killed. However, Ida was not afraid. A talisman in his arms lit up, and a strange force outlined elytra-like wings behind him, which carried them all the way to glide and land safely.

After entering the city, Ida became more cautious and used all the stealth skills he had learned. However, he did not encounter any figure until they arrived in front of the trading company, so he was lucky enough to escape danger.

Rewick was silent all the way, worried, until she saw the current situation of the business, she finally couldn't help crying. Seeing this, Ida did not stop her, but slowly hugged her, while being alert to the surroundings and sighing slightly.

In fact, he had a premonition when he entered the city. The street scene came into view. The former prosperity was gone. Although it was not dilapidated yet, the mottled and crumbling stone walls and the lack of repair facilities already explained the problem. Along the way, the doors of the houses were open and the inside was filled with dust. The big shops were also deserted. What's worse, there were dead bones displayed on the counters, which was miserable and desolate.

The business in front of us did not escape this tragedy.

"I...Ida, I...I have no home anymore...wuwuwu..."

She was crying bitterly in his arms, her breathing was rapid and intermittent, which made him worry that Rivik would faint from crying.

But just as he was about to comfort her, he saw two shadows appear on the ground in front of him!

"Who?!"
