Hollow Knight: Hallownest

After Ida went to Nalis to get the bone nails, the two embarked on the journey to Ditmouth.

According to the map given by the businessman, the two of them had to go to the resting place first, and then go from the Blue Lake to the Cross Road.

The road to the resting place is the same as before, just let Ida lead the way.

"Ida, where are your bone nails?"

Mo Rong saw no trace of the bone nails on Ida, and wondered if he had forgotten them.

Ida shook a pillar-shaped package on her back and signaled with her eyes.

"Let me see what it looks like?"

"Okay, just wait."

The two of them had already boarded the elevator leading to the resting place. It would be fine if they took out the bone nails.

Ida put down the baggage behind her, took out the bone nail, and handed it to Mo Rong.

Mo Rong took it and looked at the appearance of the bone nails. The shape was very novel.

Looking closely at the bone nail, although the bone handle is cylindrical, it is composed of two spiral bone handles.

The nail body is not a traditional right pyramid composed of four bone blades, but a crescent with only two sides of the blade.

The entire bone nail was so beautiful that Mo Rong couldn't help but admire it.

"As expected of a master, he can make weapons look like works of art."

"This can still be separated, right?"

"Of course." Ida took the bone nail in Mo Rong's hand, held the bone handle with both hands, and applied force in the opposite direction. A gap immediately appeared in the bone nail. As Ida rotated his hand, the entire bone nail was split into two. Use the long and thin crescent-shaped bone nails with different curvatures.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you should be the first one in Hallownest to have such a special bone nail."

"Don't let it down."

......

Mo Rong followed the map and came to the edge of the Blue Lake. In this underground world, the endless Blue Lake was one of the most impressive places in his memory. Ida was also relaxed and happy.

What made him even more gratified was that the lakeside was very clean, and there were no bone nails inserted into the ground anywhere.

"Are we going to the other side of the lake?"

Mo Rong nodded and began to look for available boats by the lake.

The Blue Lake was very wide, but he would have no problem swimming across it, but Ida might not be able to.

"Brother, how do we charge for this boat?"

Murong found a small boat leaning on the lake and said to the boatman.

"Fifty euros per person, guest sir."

The boatman said with a smile.

"twenty."

Since being almost cheated last time, Mo Rong no longer buys things in the usual way.

"Forty-five per person, sir, this is also a physical job for me, it's not easy."

"It's easy for me? Twenty."

"Forty per person is indispensable. Sir, please be considerate of me."

"Well, if you say so, I'll give in a little bit."

"Twenty-one per person, no more."

"Forget it, sir, please go find someone else. We don't offer such a low price for picking up people," the boatman said angrily.

"Okay, excuse me."

Mo Rong walked to another boat. When the boatman saw that he was leaving, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said quickly:

"No, sir, twenty-one is twenty-one, just make friends and get on the ship."

Ida was dumbfounded. He used to bargain little by little. Seeing how angry the boss looked, he didn't dare to cut any more. He had never seen such a bargain.

Mo Rong patted Ida who was standing behind, smiled crookedly, and the two of them walked onto the boat together.

"Sir, are you going to the mountain peak?"

Mo Rong shook his head.

"Not going to the mountain peak? That's going to the crossroads, but most of the people we are carrying are going to the mountain peak."

"Is there anything good over there on the mountain peak?" Mo Rong asked, remembering the ore he bought from the profiteer before.

"I don't know much about this. There are quite a lot of people mining over there. I heard that others can't even persuade them to leave."

"Is it so tempting?"

"I don't know about that. After all, I'm just a rower."

The Blue Lake is very wide. The boatman rowed for a long time without even seeing the other side of the lake. Mo Rong was in a trance when looking at his reflection in the Blue Lake.

"Boss, do you know where this Blue Lake comes from?"

"Huh, you are asking the right person. My ancestors have been eating from Blue Lake for three generations."

"My father once told me that the Blue Lake was not a lake at the beginning, but just an ordinary river."

"But in ancient wars, the river was hit hard, causing the river bed to collapse, and the inflowing water could not flow out, so it became what it is now."

"Ancient war? What ancient war?" Murong became interested when he heard it.

"I don't know very well. My father only gave a rough idea."

"It is said that before Hallownest was established, there were two ancient tribes on this land. Both sides occupied their own areas and developed steadily. But one day one of them launched a war to expand the territory, and the Blue Lake became what it is today. This is what it looks like.”

"Sir, please tell me, how powerful a person is to turn Blue Lake into what it is now."

"Then it must be God."

"Hahaha, I think so too." The boatman laughed while rowing the boat.

Mo Rong was also curious about this general story. He knew that the two tribes mentioned by the boatman probably believed in the King of Radiance and the King of Shadows. One was high on the mountain and the other was hidden in the abyss. However, he always thought that the two tribes were inseparable from each other. Interference, but they actually had wars in ancient times.

"Then did your father tell you what the outcome was?"

"Haha, of course it was the king who descended from the sky who stopped this war, needless to say."

"Too."

Mo Rong smiled, but he didn't agree in his heart. If King Bai had the strength to stop the war between the two gods, the subsequent tragedy would not have happened.

Ida listened to the two chatting with great interest. After chatting for a while, the boat slowly docked.

After Morong gave the money to the boatman, he walked deeper into the crossroads according to the map route.

......

"Wow, this amulet is as beautiful as me."

Saluba was sitting on a chair outside the door, playing with the amulet in his hand, when a mixed soul breath suddenly floated from the distance.

"Just walk forward and go up a few slopes, it's easy!"

Mo Rong put away the map. When he reached the crossroads, he would know roughly how to get there.

"Oh~ sweetheart, do you want to buy some amulets from me? Woohoohoohoo."

A neutral voice came from not far away, which startled Mo Rong. Only when he got closer did he see who made the voice just now.

"Sister Mizui!"

The plump body in front of him, the thick and slender eyebrows and the plump and charming lips are none other than Saluba, the talisman lover.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu honey, sweetheart, I'm not some Miss Lips, I'm Saluba, do you want to come to my store?"

Saluba looked at the two of them with a smile and invited them sincerely.

Murong remembered that Saluba did indeed sell talismans, and there was a very useful talisman that could only be bought from her, which was very useful for them who wielded bone nails:
