Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Hiss~Headache." Mo Rong opened his eyes with difficulty and shook his head vigorously. The sudden drunkenness last night caught him off guard. He looked around and saw Ida sleeping soundly next to him. But the way he sleeps...

I saw that his butt was not his head but his pillow on the counter. His head fell on the chair instead, and his whole person reached a delicate balance.

Mo Rong kicked him aside to avenge last night.

Ida, who fell to the ground, gradually woke up and muttered: "Didn't I sleep on the table last night? Why did I sleep on the ground?"

He turned back to look at Mo Rong, who shook his head and said he had no clue.

Before the two of them came out together, they looked at the clock and found that there was still some time before the departure of the freight, so they went to Woou Commercial Bank, preparing to pack some luggage along the way.

"You can go buy some clothes on the roadside later."

The two of them were chatting along the way. Ida reminded Mo Rong and Mo Rong looked at the red robe on his body. After thinking about it, this outfit was really conspicuous among the ordinary people. A change of clothes would save a lot of trouble, so the two of them went to the street along the way. Went to a clothing store.

Murong handed the Geo in his pocket to Ida and asked him to help him go in and buy it. After a while, Ida came out carrying two gray robes and handed them to Murong.

Morong also changed his clothes on the way to Woou Trading Company. To be honest, the red robe is no wonder that it is a noble robe. Regardless of the color, it feels really comfortable. In comparison, this gray robe looks like it has been worn with a layer of sandpaper. It's really painful.

As I was thinking, I heard the sound of 'Gululu' in my ears.

"I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten anything since last night. I have to pack some dry food to eat on the road." Ida said and walked to the nearby food shop and asked if she needed to bring some for Mo Rong.

Mo Rong shook his head subconsciously, and Ida ignored him. After waking up from a hangover, he was really hungry and uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, Mo Rong also found it strange that a day had passed since he arrived here. He had not drunk anything except the wine he drank last night, but he did not feel hungry or thirsty at all.

"Is it because I am a container?"

Mo Rong remembered that in the game, the little knight did not need to eat, and the only way to recover was to absorb souls. Could it be the same for him?

This is difficult to prove, after all, he currently has no bone nails, and there are no large black stones (soul totems) similar to those in the game nearby for him to chop.

But that's okay, after all, if you don't get hurt, you don't have to absorb souls. If you don't absorb souls, you don't have to eat, and food needs to be bought with Geo.

so! He has already earned his food money!

Thinking of this, Mo Rong was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise. Even Ida, who had finished her meal and bought dry food, looked at him with some doubts. Isn't this kid going to be hungry?

Each with their own thoughts in mind, the two of them arrived in front of Woou Trading Company after a while.

There were five or six carriages parked at the entrance of the trading house. I guessed that these were the goods to be escorted.

The two of them walked non-stop towards the yard where they were yesterday. The housekeeper stood in front of the hall, and beside him stood a bug holding a bone nail. Seeing that they were almost here, they waited for a while, and when they saw that the time was up, they said:

"Everyone, the steward in charge of the escort is next to me. You should follow his arrangements." After saying that, the butler returned to the house and left the scene to the steward.

"From now on, please follow my arrangements for this shipment. If there is any individual behavior that disrupts the order of the entire shipment, I will not show mercy." The manager glared at the people in the hall and gave him a warning.

After speaking, the steward waved his hand, motioning for everyone to follow him, turned around and walked towards the motorcade outside.

Walking outside, Mo Rong found three large beetles in front of the car. They must have been brought by merchants to sell goods.

According to the formation mentioned by the general manager, two queues were guarding both sides of the motorcade, with Mo Rong and the others at the end.

Looking at the carriage in front of him, Mo Rong thought there was a section specially reserved for them, so he decided to walk all the way there.

But it’s not bad, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way.

As the wheels turned, the group marched toward the city gate in a mighty manner.

It was probably not far from the city gate, but Morong Ida and the two were already starting to get bored. Fortunately, they were at the back, so the manager didn't know what to say.

"Ida, how long have you been doing this?"

"It's been more than thirty times," Ida said proudly.

After listening to Ida's words, Mo Rong was also a little surprised. He could come back safe and sound so many times. He must have a lot of skills.

"Then haven't you considered buying a bone nail for self-defense?"

"Where can we sell bone nails here?"

This time Mo Rong was stunned again and asked:

"I see there are vendors selling bone nails on that street."

"What are you referring to?" Ida pointed to a vendor selling bone nails not far ahead.

Mo Rong took a look, wasn't this the bone nail dealer he met yesterday? He hurriedly changed places with Ida and lifted his clothes up again. Without replying to Ida, Ida looked a little puzzled at Mo Rong's behavior.

It wasn't until the motorcade was far away from the shops behind that Mo Rong poked his head out and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his appearance, Ida asked curiously:

"What happened? Did you have a problem with that person?"

Morong told Ida everything about yesterday's experience, and Ida laughed out loud after hearing it.

"Haha, those liars are just trying to trick stupid people like you. They...ahem."

Ida looked at the resentful look in Mo Rong's eyes next to her and realized that it would be a bit wicked to continue laughing.

"Whatever bone nails they sell are made of stones from outside. They teamed up with some craftsmen to make the stones look like bone nails, and then painted them with a layer of paint. People who don't know really think that It’s a bone nail.”

"Don't call that thing an enemy. If you accidentally put that thing into the water, it will be as brittle as the one in my hand." Ida took a bite of the dry food in her hand, and it clicked. crisp.

"Damn! Then he dared to sell me eight hundred euros."

"The brave ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death. But luckily you have no money, so he can't trick you."

"That's right." Although Mo Rong felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, he was also grateful for what happened yesterday.

"Actually, even if you can buy it, it will cost a lot of money." Ida continued.

"I'm not just talking about the cost of buying the nails, but also the licensing."

"Do you have a permit? Can't you get it if you don't have one?"

"What do you think? You don't even think about where this is? The City of Tears, Heart of Hallownest! If someone just lets someone get the bone nails casually, what will happen to the public security?"

"Aren't there guards here?"

"It's different. Besides, there's oil and water in it..." Ida rubbed her fingers and showed a 'you know' look.

"No wonder the person who openly sells bone nails has nothing wrong with him." Murong cursed secretly.

"Don't you even have the power to protect yourself?" Mo Rong asked again.

Ida looked at him but didn't reply.

Yes, the remuneration for people like them means that if you want to buy a bone nail, you have to go out four or five times to get it, not to mention the license. This kind of thing is impossible without going out seven or eight times.

Seven or eight times, let alone buying bone nails, whether I can come back safely is one thing.

Mo Rong shook his head secretly, mourning for the people at the bottom of the city, but thinking that he seemed to be one of them, he couldn't help but curse.

While Mo Rong was distracted, Ida's low roar came from beside him.

"Mo Rong, why are you dazed! Kneel down quickly!"

Only then did Morong come back to his senses and saw that not only the people in the convoy, but also the vendors and residents were all kneeling down with their heads down. Although Murong didn't know what happened, his legs immediately knelt down.

"What's wrong?" Mo Rong asked Ida in a low voice.

"The knight is coming, don't talk!" Ida responded in a low voice, and then closed her mouth.

knight? What knight?

Hollow Knight?

Mo Rong couldn't restrain his curiosity, raised his head slightly and glanced, his pupils trembling.

That strong body, resolute face, and the iconic hammer behind him.

Fake knight!

His figure immediately appeared in Mo Rong's mind, but thinking back to that glance just now, he discovered many differences.

The armor on the knight in front of him now was not dull silver gray, but dazzling white; the hammer head connected to the hammer handle was not the simple one in his memory, it was a symbol he had never seen before.

wrong! This is no false knight.

He searched again for characters that fit these characteristics in his mind, and gradually, a confident and powerful figure appeared in Mo Rong's mind, his pupils shaking!

The person in front of me is one of the Five Knights of Hallownest:

The power of paleness━━━Hagemer!
