Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

At the end of a cliff outside the Volcano's official residence, there is a small golden tree sapling growing on the ground.

Li You picked up the golden seeds that fell under the seedlings, looked at them, and then put them in his backpack.

The golden seed can strengthen his gourd. Li You came here just to find this seed. Moreover, Kara's Dettol Holy Grail bottle has not been strengthened yet, and the golden seeds are also useful to her.

Although there are many specialties in the Land of Shadows, there are no props such as golden seeds and Holy Grail dew drops to strengthen the Holy Grail bottle, so Li You doesn't have many on hand now.

Of course, he didn't run so far just for this, after all, Bernal was following him now. At this time, there were only two of them next to the little golden tree. Yuzi was still resting in the companion space, while Carla and the other two followed Li You's arrangement and went to the little golden tree near the Huoshan Mansion.

There is a corrupted tree spirit under that little golden tree, and its body also contains crystallized dew drops that can be used in the Holy Grail bottle of elixir. Since it is here, of course it cannot be let go. At the same time, Li You can also have a good chat with Bernal.

The two stood next to the little golden tree sapling. Bernal stared at the sapling, while Li You looked beyond the cliff and the sea in the distance.

Bernal immediately said: "Then let me ask first."

"Does your sword have a special ability to control flames? How much do you know about the prophecy of 'destined death'?"

Li You was not surprised by his question, and his response was simple and direct. He pulled out the spiral sword on the spot and stabbed it into the ground with his backhand to form a campfire: "Yes, this sword can expand the flame field. All the original powers in the field are not as powerful as it." , will be suppressed, or even manipulated by me."

"Then how strong is the flame of this sword?" Bernal asked.

"I can't say, I can only tell you that Larcade's flames have no pressure on it. Even if it is epileptic fire...even if it is a person who is deeply infiltrated by epileptic fire, its power will be suppressed."

Li You paused, and then added: "Moreover, the flame of this sword can continue to increase."

"it turns out……?"

Bernal looked at the spiral sword stuck in the ground and was deeply surprised. From the previous brief fight, he could judge that the power of the Spiral Sword was definitely not weak, but it could even suppress epileptic fire?

"... Don't worry. You sent all your companions away to be alone with me, and told the truth about this matter. Aren't you afraid that I will fall out? I am a member of the rebels."

Li You just smiled: "Although you and Tanis are both members of the Volcano Mansion, I know that there is a key difference between you and her, that is, you have better eyesight and will not easily misjudge the power of your prey. "

"In other words, if even the would-be king Bernal is already dim, then I can only deal with you with tears, and then find out what I want from you."

Bernal was silent for a moment: "...You are really confident. But to be able to kill Racade, you do have the power to match it."

Li You's smile did not change: "As for your second question, I'm pretty familiar with the legend of Destiny's Death, and I also know your general experience."

"Don't believe it. You have such an obvious reaction to the prophecy about destined death. This means that you must have...reached the top of the Giant Snow Mountain, right?"

Bernal was silent for a longer time this time. He looked at Li You several times before finally speaking: "I understand. What you want is related to this?"

"That's right." Li You admitted generously, "What I want are two things, your method of reaching Sky City, and... the secret treasure in your hand."

"Sky City? I see, you are referring to Fam Azra...you have a big appetite." After saying this, Bernal didn't look too surprised, but his eyes were a little strange, "But , who told you that I arrived there?"

"Huh?" Li You was stunned when he heard this, "Didn't you go to Sky City?"

Bernal shook his head: "Didn't you say that you know something about my experience? It seems that your intelligence was wrong in key places."

"I did climb the Giant Snow Mountain and came to the edge of the cauldron of flames. At that time, looking at the dying flames in the cauldron that were not strong but always burning, I also thought that the way to complete my mission was ahead.

"However... the sacrifices we made in the end were in vain. Even if we put in the fire, the ashes and flames did not rise, and the road to Fam Azra did not open."

At this point, Bernal's eyes became very dangerous, and he turned to look at the golden tree in the distance: "It is precisely because of this that I decided to embark on the road of rebellion. I and the Faded Ones have fought, sacrificed and made sacrifices along the way. , but was easily abandoned in the end...I absolutely cannot agree with such a mission."

"That's why I want to resist. I kill my compatriots, seize power, and won't stop even if I become a superficial plunderer, just so that one day I can completely defeat the supreme will that overlooks the border!"

Li You listened to his words until he realized that he had misjudged some things. And at the same time, he also discovered that the reason why Bernal chose to rebel was not only the relationship with his witch, but also the anger against the Supreme Will caused by his encounter with the witch.

Li You sorted out the clues in his mind and used them to analyze the experience of Bernal who had corrected this world. Then he said, "I see. Then I'll sort it out and see if I'm right."

"You originally arrived in the royal city and wanted to see Eldon's Ring, but you found that you couldn't...because the 'thorn of rejection' refuses everything, right?"

Bennar: "!"

"You actually know this? How did you..."

"It seems that this is correct." Li You did not answer, but continued, "Then, according to the clues you have, you violated the ban and stepped into the forbidden area and climbed the Giant Snow Mountain."

"You did this to ignite the Golden Tree, burn the Thorn of Rejection, and thus see the Elden Throne, right?"

With the foreshadowing just now, Bernar was no longer so surprised: "It seems that you do know a lot of things. Yes, that's right."

"But you clearly arrived at the cauldron of fire on the top of the Giant Mountain, but you couldn't ignite the flame. In this way, you can't ignite the Golden Tree and open the way to Fam Azra, not to mention releasing the destined death and completely burning the Golden Tree."

What Li You described was the original process of the game. The Thorn of Rejection closed the entrance to the Elden Throne and did not allow anyone to pass, so the Faded Ones had to find a way to remove the Thorn of Rejection.

The "Thorn of Rejection" here is different from the one in the Shadow Land. The only thing that can burn these thorns of rejection is fire, the most special fire.

Although the ash-extinguishing flame in the giant flame cauldron burns forever, it can only ignite the golden tree. If you want to really burn the thorns of rejection, you must go to the sky city Fam Azra, find the destined death sealed there, and release the black flame that burns everything.

Even with the power of Li You's current spiral sword, he can never burn the thorns of rejection, so he planned to go to the sky city from the beginning. This is also why he asked Bernard for advice.

"...You are right. Then, I think you know what I want."

Bernard looked at him, "Your sword can control fire. If it is its power, then maybe it can make the ash-extinguishing flames in the giant's cauldron rise and ignite the golden tree."

"So, what do you want in exchange for handing over this sword to me?"

Li You still answered straightforwardly: "I won't give it to you. Not to mention whether I am willing or not, no one else can use this sword except me, even if I die."

Bernard obviously didn't believe Li You's words: "You don't want to give it to me because of your apprentice? Because she is also a faded person?"

"If so, I advise you to give up. I don't think she has... The ambition to become the king, and if you are moving forward with the goal of becoming the king, you are my enemy. "

Li You said: "Don't worry. I don't intend to be your enemy, and I am not on the side of the Supreme Will. I came to you because you have personal experience and have witnessed the tragedy of people being used as fire by the cauldron of fire - you should understand what I mean. "

"... You even know this." Bernard paused, "But the 'fire'... Oh, it should be said to be a sacrifice."

"As you said, my witch in the past... She jumped into the fire with a resolution, burned by the flames, but could not make the flames rise.

"She suffered and made sacrifices, but in the end it was all in vain. Even if I brought her back from the cauldron of fire, she had already lost herself..."

Li You was stunned again: "You brought her out?"

This time Bernard did not question his information, but just said: "Do you think you will die if you jump into that pot? Not so. Even if those who are not qualified fall into it, they will not become a fire, but will be tortured forever by the flames of ash extinguishing. "

"Actually..."

This information surprised Li You: "So at the beginning, your witch jumped into the fire, but failed to become a fire, nor could she send you to Fam Azra. And you rescued her, and then chose to rebel against the Golden Tree?"

"Have you finally figured it out?" Bernard looked at him, "That's probably it. 'Those who go with the fire will meet their destined death one day. ', this prophecy made her make a decision, but in the end, our sacrifices were in vain. "

After thoroughly understanding Bernard's experience, Li You understood his choice more and more.

"...Even now I don't know why she jumped into the fire but couldn't ignite the flame." Bernard laughed at himself, "Your sword gave me new hope, so even if I don't have too many expectations, I have to try it. Without taking this step, I will never be able to move forward. "

"About this..." Li You was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice from the side.

"Your witch cannot become a fire seed because she does not have the necessary qualifications and abilities."

This voice was very familiar to Li You. He turned his head in surprise. The speaker was Melina. Of course, Kara was standing next to her.

Bernard also looked at the two of them with some surprise: "When did you... No, what did you say just now?"

Kara gave Li You a look, and Li You immediately understood that she had been hiding and eavesdropping since a long time ago. Kara's invisibility magic was obviously used to perfection, and even Li You did not find it-of course, there was also the reason why Aggie helped to cover it up.

And Kara also looked at Melina: "Meimei, I also need your explanation."

Melina did not hide it and said: "I heard what you said just now. The road to Elden's throne is closed, so you want to burn the golden tree... the thorn of rejection, is it really like this. "

"But, not everyone can ignite the ash-extinguishing flame. There is a prerequisite for becoming a fire seed. You need to be able to see the virtual image of the flame to be qualified as a sacrifice. "

"Fire image?" This was obviously information that Bernal was completely unaware of, and Kara's face changed slightly as she thought of something and subconsciously looked at Li You.

Facing her questioning look, Li You nodded.

——There is one person who can see the virtual image of flames.

In the original plot, in addition to the plot line of embracing epilepsy, it was Melina who burned herself and ignited the cauldron of fire.

Of course, after going to the Shadow Land, Li You knew that there was another person who could see the virtual image of flames, and that was Melina's eldest brother Messermo.

But even Messemer and Li You had no intention of catching him as a lighter, let alone Melina.

Tragedy forbidden!

"...It turns out there is such a request, it's really ridiculous." Bernal came back to his senses, "So, our battle was meaningless from the beginning?"

Faced with his question, Melina also fell silent.

"This is why I chose to rebel." Bernal said, "I will never spare the supreme will that plays with our destiny. So, I need that sword."

Seeing him looking at him again, Li You shook his head: "I'm telling the truth. Even if I give you this sword, you can't use it."

"However, I will also go to Fam Azra, so you don't need to worry. I will use this sword to open the way to Sky City."

Li You said and met Bernal's gaze: "I will release the death of destiny, burn the golden tree and the thorn of rejection, and open a new era for the borderland."

"——So, I need the secret treasure in your hand."

In addition to what was said before, this is a necessary process to clear the level, there is another important reason why Li You wants to go to Sky City, and that is that he is extremely interested in the death rune - the origin of destined death.

If you want to compare, Destined Death should be regarded as an updated version of Immortal Slash, with more features and stronger abilities, but it also has some inconveniences. But no matter what, if the destined death can be integrated into the immortal slash, then this sword will truly be worthy of its name.

Therefore, from two aspects, Li You needs to go to Fam Azra. But the problem is that the person guarding Destiny is a heavyweight - "Black Sword" Malikis.

Malikis is the beast, the shadow given to Queen Malika by the Two Fingers, and later became her adoptive brother. He uses himself as a seal of destined death and can also use the power of destined death. This is no joke.

Destined death in the game only deducts the target's upper limit of blood, and a percentage of the blood will continue to be lost, and it will recover after a period of time. But in this world, the true destiny of death may not be easily extinguished.

This also means that if you are injured by Malikis' sword, the consequences will be more serious than being injured by the Immortal Slash. Even if Kara has immortality in this world, there is no way she can survive from the black sword.

Therefore, when dealing with Malikis, there must be no carelessness. And it was also because of this that Li You focused on the secret treasure in Bernal's hand - it was one of the reasons why Bernal joined the Volcano Mansion. Now that it is in his hands, this is also the main reason why Li You came to him.

"...You also want to go to Fam Azra? I believe that." Bernal glanced at Kara, "But I also said, if you want to uphold the Supreme Will and Malika's law, That's my enemy."

Li You shook his head: "The Supreme Will, Queen Malika, and the laws of the world, these three are not completely bound together. I'm afraid you have misunderstood."

Bernal: "...huh?"

Melina: "!"

Li You said: "I have my own plans. Although I have not thought of the final choice, obeying the supreme will will never be one of the endings. You can trust me."

Bernal looked at him again: "To be honest, I am willing to believe you, but this matter is not something that can make me give in just by believing."

"...I must defeat the Supreme Will, and there are many enemies that I have to defeat before that, and the guardian of destined death is one of them.

"I can't be sure that you won't become my enemy in the future, so I can't give you the secret treasure. If you must want it, then get it yourself."

Li You: "......"

Let’s stop playing this joke, okay?

But then again, Bernal's attitude explains why he invades us as players in the game. Because his purpose is fundamentally different from the protagonist Faded One.

This is no longer a question of whether Li You will give Bernal the Spiral Sword, but a fundamental conflict of ideas. Bernal obviously would not be easily persuaded, and the conversation between the two parties reached a deadlock.

Even Li You, who is very good at persuading others, has a headache at this time. It was impossible for him to reveal his plan to Bernal, but since he would not be able to convince the would-be king, could it be that he really wanted to "get it himself" and rob it?

"...I have an idea." At this moment, Kara, who had been listening, suddenly spoke.

Facing the unexpected gazes of Li You and Bernard, Kara said: "I once met a finger witch in Galede. She was very strange. Her body was burning all the time, and she was constantly collecting flames and trying to Put them in your body, accommodate them.”

Bernal: "!!"

"She...is in Galede? How could it be!?"

"Because the fire used by the Red Lion Army to suppress the spread of corruption is also a special kind of fire."

Kara looked at Bernard: "I couldn't help her at the time, and I had things to do, so I could only leave her some supplies and leave. But now I think my master's power should be able to help her."

"Master, you can help solve the problem of the finger witch. In return, Bernard, you can give us the secret treasure. How about it?" Kara said at last, "As for the future, if our paths conflict, then we will rely on our own abilities."

Bernard was silent for a long time before saying: "...if you can really do it."

"Very good." Kara snapped her fingers, "Then follow me."
