As a player, can you be normal?

Li Nuo lowered his head, extracting the information from the panel in his mind.

Cha Bai looked at him with her eyes, searching for the answer.

Maggie was silent, and when she saw the five of them talking, she said: Kevir was once a county of Redania. Now it has signed a treaty with the Nilfgaard Empire and is a tributary of the northern continent. The empire is interested in There are only two factors in Kevir’s purpose, the Holy See of the Sorceress and the rich mineral resources.”

Li Nuo said: You may be considered rich in Novigrad, but in Coville you may be at most a shoe shiner, and you have to pay a thousand marks first to join the shoe shiners guild.

Yes, you know it very well. Maggie said: So this is the richest place within the jurisdiction of the Nilfgaard Empire. As a demon hunter, you accept some simple tasks here, and the money you earn is enough for you to go there. If Willen buys a manor, you can also go to the Sorceress Church to seduce some sorceresses. I know that is your witcher’s hobby.”

Li Nuo echoed: Because the life span of demon hunters is too long, they can only be combined with sorceresses who have the same longevity.

Maggie nodded: Look, you have many opportunities to make money. Mr. Demon Hunter, you have to be clear about one thing. Times have changed. Now there are armies, muskets, and cannons. Demon hunters are the main force in exorcising monsters. It is no longer mainstream, and there may even be only one witcher like you in this world. Although I hate you witchers, it is undeniable that I was pleasantly surprised when I saw you, and some lovely memories appeared in my mind. , but that was hundreds of years ago.”

So you don't want me to die?

What I don't want is to say goodbye to a memory from my past. Whether it's a witcher, a sorceress or a vampire, after living for hundreds of years, I can only rely on my memory to lick my daily dreams. Maggie rested her chin in her hands. , said helplessly: Times have changed... Vampires are different from before. Don't be obsessed with Kevir's vampires. That is not something you can touch, Mr. Demon Hunter.

Li Nuo lowered his head.

It seems that you are hesitating, which is a good thing. Maggie looked at Chabai and said, Miss Warlock, I don't have any vacancies here. You can go to the hotel on the next street.

Cha Bai looked at Li Nuo. She only knew one thing. Li Nuo had no hesitation, he was thinking.

During the deduction, Li Nuo's eyes would show a seriousness and reliability that is usually difficult to notice. At this time, there was no trace of impropriety in him, as if he was a completely different person.

And in the next conversation, he will draw himself into a parallel line with everything.

Ms. Maggie, let me help you, how can you help us? Li Nuo suddenly asked.

Maggie frowned slightly: What are you talking about?

Kevir is a rich place. I heard that there are some vampires here, but most of them get along very well with people, and some live in manors in better places, but you can only open them in the slums. A brothel, titled herself the Queen of the Night, and then lingered in a rat's nest like a haggard old man waiting to die. Why? Li Nuo said and laughed: Hahaha...haha, you can't Leave here, take in some vampires who have offended those guys in the old city, become a madam under the protection of humans, and then give yourself a name that looks noble.

Maggie's eyes changed.

Li Nuo continued: Hundreds of years ago, there was a vampire related to Geralt, also called the Queen of the Night. She ran a brothel called the House of Night in the Vizima Trading Area. I was thinking, Why would you give yourself a name that has nothing to do with you but something to do with Geralt?

Why? Maggie wanted to hear more.

Because there are some things that only demon hunters can do, such as solving problems about monsters. Li Nuo said solemnly: Ms. Maggie, times have changed, there are guns and cannons, but times have not changed, because demon hunters It’s not gone, there’s another one here.”

Maggie was silent.

You are waiting for someone to solve all the troubles so that you vampires can at least be the same as before, aren't you? Li Nuo tilted his head and smiled.

Maggie suddenly laughed: Let me tell you first, you are not as good as Geralt.

Li Nuo said: I know, he is a hero, I am just a bastard.

You have a very clear understanding of yourself. Maggie paused and said, There is only one thing I can help you with. I can teach you deeper alchemy.

Huh? What does that mean?

I know a mutation potion from Toussaint.

Li Nuo thought that it might be the mutation system of the DLC Blood and Wine in The Witcher 3, which increases the skills and attributes of the demon hunter, making the demon hunter more powerful in combat.

Do you want to use the apprenticeship ceremony?

I don't like this. Maggie said, But as a courtesy, at least you want to tell me your name?

Li Nuo said without thinking: Edward Roger.

Maggie narrowed her eyes: I can tell the truth from lies.

That's it... Li Nuo smiled: Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy! Then he took a deep breath: I am the Seventh Heaven Newspaper Office of the Holy Knight Church in Weihu Mountain. The dream of being the number one painter and amateur breeding armored Pokémon in the American Nerba District is to become the best Budokai champion trainer in the world and receive the bonus to Ricardo Dos Santos, who converted the Seventh Day newspaper office into a bar...

Cha Bai: Ahem...

Li Nuo: Li Nuo.

Maggie rubbed her brows: Li Nuo, right? It's an Eastern name. I don't care. Come over tomorrow and I'll teach you new alchemy.

Li Nuo said: One more thing, do you want to play a game of Gwent?

The moment I met Maggie, the side mission of [Gwent Winner] revealed that this old vampire is a Gwent master.

Maggie laughed: Boy, I won't lose to you.

That's hard to say. Li Nuo took out a set of Monster Set cards.

Maggie smiled and said: Humph, if you lose, you can run naked on the street.

Li Nuo smiled back: If you lose, help me gather the ingredients for the decoction.

Maggie was stunned, and she was thinking: Shouldn't a normal man let me lose my clothes and take off my clothes...

In short, the process of Gwent was too boring and boring, so time flew by to 20 minutes later.

The whites of Maggie's eyes were bloodshot. During the game, she always made mistakes due to a short-circuit in her thinking.

Li Nuo, did you use [Yaxi's Seal] on me?

Do you have evidence? Li Nuo crossed his legs like a scoundrel, and the system didn't say that he couldn't use any means. This was Maggie. If he were a civilian, he would definitely hold a knife to the opponent's neck and play cards.

Cha Bai turned his head to the side, a little embarrassed.

A female vampire ran into the room and shouted to Maggie: Mom (Mama-san)! There is a man downstairs who has been saying he wants to sell his butt, and won't leave no matter what. He also said we are sexist, should we kill him secretly? Got him?

Maggie put her cards on the table: I lose, write down what you want, and I'll get it for you within three days!

[The big winner of Gwent: Reward bone marrow ashes*1, radiant keystone*2]

Then she looked at her daughter (the adopted vampire lady).

Take me to see it.

When they went downstairs, they saw Marjie standing in front of the counter making a fuss...

What's wrong with men! Can't men make money with their bodies? Hey, think about it, don't you women want to spend money to get services? As long as everyone's souls are in place, I can lick you...

Li Nuo grabbed Marjie's hair and pulled him out. Chabai covered his forehead and followed behind.

I'm sorry...I'll help you kill him. Li Nuo left the brothel after leaving one sentence.

Maggie, her three daughters and two guests stood frozen.

Mom...why did he say sorry?

Never mind it, keep doing business. Maggie turned around and returned to the room. When she went upstairs, her steps were easier than before, and there was an imperceptible smile on her lips.

…

They dragged Marger out and stopped on the street.

Didn't you go to see the artisan shop?

Look, I spent some money to become an apprentice and I will start tomorrow.

Li Nuo took out Kenny's orange jacket and handed it over: Do me a favor and try to see if you can change this piece of clothing into a shirt or T-shirt. It's too thick now and affects your activities.

What do you think about that special mission? Cha Bai asked.

What special mission? Marger asked curiously.

After Li Nuo told him once, he took out a folding stool and sat on the street. All the current information came to his mind and he put everything together.

Cha Bai called to the sorceresses following behind and asked them to create a soundproof barrier.

Although the sorceresses were curious as to why, they did as they were told.

Within the transparent barrier, Li Nuo tapped his temples and said quickly:

Mirror Master extracted the curse related to Bloodborne Curse and used vampires as experimental subjects. As a result, the old city became a hunting ground. Vampires occupied that area and raised humans there. Coville did not want to get involved in meaningless things, resulting in A few things happened next.”

The Shadow Elder may have been parasitized by invisible Yadan or something unknown to us, or he may have become a new monster after being infected with a curse, causing a large number of high-level vampires to leave the Shadow Elder.

There is another problem here. The Shadow Elder can control high-level vampires, but high-level vampires like Maggie are not affected. This means that the Shadow Elder's brain is different from before.

The second thing is that a player came to this world half a year ago. Ayike caught in Novigrad said that the guy named Belmont had a [Shilipo Sword God Card], and he used that The card stayed in the world of the demon hunter for half a year, and the purpose could be that he wanted to gain greater benefits from the elders. This guy became an attendant of the elders in a short period of time, and according to Maggie, they were a group of strange people. of vampires.

Two possibilities can be speculated from this. They have been contaminated by things related to the Bloodborne Curse and mutated. Alternatively, Belmont and his team had become vampires in the previous scripts before coming to this world. Using the same With different racial settings and the advantage of poor information, they have gained the trust of the elders.”

We are in danger now, Marger said.

Yeah. Li Nuo nodded: I understand why the players here are special... I thought of using Mirror Master to fight against the Shadow Elder. Other players must also be able to think of it. As a player who belongs to the Elder's side, he must Eye spies will be deployed nearby.

Li Nuo looked at the shadows flying under the moon and said: For example, if the Mirror Master and the players appear in Kevir together, they will take action soon.

Cha Bai asked: What about the main plot?

Marger shrugged his shoulders: It's too dangerous. Even if you get the ancient blood and go to the future, if you find a chance to come back, it will be difficult to fight against the parasitized vampires.

Li Nuo said: Do they have [Summoning Magic Crystal]?

Marjie was stunned: Ah...this.

Cha Bai remembered that before she entered the script, Li Nuo asked her to hold the [Summoning Magic Crystal] because Li Nuo didn't know if he could use it.

At this time Cha Bai opened his backpack.

[Summon magic crystal (insufficient magic power)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Minimum usage conditions: spiritual power value 30]

[Effect 1: The available summoned beasts are determined by random selection. The summoning effect time varies depending on different summoned beasts]

[Effect 2: You can choose to summon a summoned creature that you have seen and interacted with before, and the summoned creature is not controlled]

[Usable summons for effect 1: Diablos, Leviathan, Dombeli, Cactus, Moogle, Chocobo]

[Summoning conditions: Different summoned beasts require different spiritual power values. If the summoner's spiritual power value is insufficient, 99% of the upper limit of life will be deducted]

[Brief description: As we all know, on your journey to become the league champion through eight gyms, there will always be six little monsters following you]

[Tip: Due to environmental reasons, this magic crystal has insufficient magic power and cannot be used]

Not enough magic power. Cha Bai shook his head.

Then find the ancient blood to recharge. Li Nuo said: No matter how strong the Shadow Elder is, he can't be stronger than the real water god Leviathan. Even Dong Beili can do it. That guy's sword is 9999. I'm carrying Dong Bei Are you afraid that you won't be able to hit its remaining HP when you use Li as a weapon to throw it wildly?

Then what? Marger said: Elders are immortal.

Li Nuo asked: Do they have elf balls?

Marjie was stunned again, then he covered his head and said, You're done with this trick!

Cha Bai coughed slightly to indicate that he would not touch this issue.

Marger said: If the above methods don't work, you can only rely on the Mirror Master.

Yes. Li Nuo nodded: Ask Master Mirror to help find the ancient blood, and then go into the future, get a nuclear bomb or a cloud bomb, and blow the old city to pieces. But there is a risk. After all, we don't know if it can really happen. to the future.

I checked and found that the ancient blood is indeed in the Holy See of Sorceresses, but it is hidden very deep. Cha Bai said.

Well... there is another question, how to use the ancient blood? Marger said.

Master Mirror told me that blood therapy and source warlocks are the key to combining the ancient blood. Li Nuo touched his head: But source warlocks are very troublesome. Generally speaking, warlocks master magic. The meaning of a warlock is to have innate mastery of magic. For example, it is like the difference between innate immune syndrome and HIV. If there is no other way, we can only find a way to find Ciri's grave, rob the tomb, find her bones, and study whether we can extract mutations. Inducers, synthesize a false source of warlock energy.

I could pay someone to find out, Marger said.

While the two were talking, a sorceress came in from outside and said to Chabai: Master Yuan Warlock...it's almost curfew. Should we go back?

Li Nuo: ??

Marger: ???

Cha Bai: Wait a moment.

I understand... The sorceress walked out of the barrier.

Cha Bai said: I don't know any sorcerers, so I haven't told you about this.

Li Nuo said calmly: Cha Bai, understand why you are a source warlock and the information about the ancient blood.

Chabai hummed.

I'm making some equipment that will be useful when the time comes, Marger said.

These are all casual, the key point is this. Li Nuo took out the [Emil's sales truck drawing] and handed it to Marjie, and then said: Hey~ It has built-in shock absorption, direct transmission to fifth gear, and sound effects. I can’t find such a perfect human-powered motorized tricycle in Lantern, I have to rely on it if anything happens!”

Humph, I agree.

Maggie and I are going to learn some alchemy and make final preparations. Before the player who imitates Castlevania comes, we can get all the information we can get. Li Nuo said with a bright look: Then we will do it. It’s time to do something.”

The three of them finalized the preliminary plan.

Before leaving, Cha Bai handed Li Nuo a card and said, I probably won't be able to use the things I pulled out from the random cards in the side missions. Maybe you can use them in the future.

[Bloodborne Exclusive Weapon Synthesis MOD Card]

[Effect: Combine two weapons from Bloodborne Curse]

[Brief description: If blood source can be put on steam...]

Li Nuo frowned, and when he looked up again, Cha Bai was already far away.

…

However, at noon the next day.

Chabai was woken up by someone.

Today, someone came to the Sorceress's church.

He wants to see you, Source Warlock.

After listening to the nun's words, Cha Bai changed into clothes and asked, Did you say anything?

I don't know, but it seems to be very important. Many important people are here. The nun said.

Cha Bai thought about it for a moment, and then left the house.

What she doesn't know yet is...the truth of this world is about to emerge.
