Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"It's called the Green Realm. It's an amulet I bought from a mysterious merchant. As for its function..."

Mo Rong scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"The boss doesn't know either, and I haven't figured it out yet. Just treat it as a special stone. It should be good for making jewelry."

When Rivik heard half of it, she was already very shocked. She looked at the stone in Mo Rong's hand and was hesitant to take it.

Amulet, the epitome of wisdom and power.

She once heard her brother say that each amulet required a great deal of effort and even life to be created, or it had to be nurtured by nature for a long time. In short, each one was extremely precious and would never appear in the world easily.

Even if there are, few insects will circulate them in the market.

Compared to the strange abilities in the amulet, Geo is really too pale. If he has power, why worry about not having the latter?

Therefore, many warriors and even sentinels want to own one, but unfortunately it is priceless and too elusive.

And now it was lying in front of him.

Ida was reminded of this when she heard this and interrupted, "Is it the store we passed by on the way to Master Sly?"

Mo Rong nodded. Revik was shocked again and quickly grabbed Ida's hand: "You mean, there are stores that sell stones like this?"

"Well, when I went there with my eldest brother, the boss had a lot of them on display, but they were too expensive for me to afford."

Ida sighed, shook his head and said regretfully, "What a pity! I went there several times after becoming a guard. I wanted to buy a few coins while I had more money, but I never got to the time when the store was open."

He shrugged and spread his hands helplessly: "Maybe the boss has left."

Mo Rong felt curious when he heard this. He remembered that in the game, he would not leave after buying the amulet Saluba.

Rivik felt like she had missed a huge opportunity. Her caravan had traveled to Holy Nest hundreds of times, so how come they had never encountered such a miracle?

"Okay, just accept it. It's all from my big brother."

Ida took the amulet from Morong, took Revik's hand and slapped it on it, then looked back at Morong and blinked continuously.

What about mine? What about mine?

"If there's sand in your eyes, let your sister-in-law blow it out for you. Why are you blinking? Let's go!"

Mo Rong didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked towards the exit of the martial arts training ground without looking back.

"Tsk, you mean bastard..."

Ida looked at the amulet in Revik's hand and felt a little envious. It was only later that he realized how precious the amulet was, but it was too late.

Rivik felt the uneven texture of his palm and felt a little excited. After he calmed down, he turned around and looked at Ida with some regretful eyes.

"Such a precious thing, can we just take it like this? I should at least give them some gold coins to thank them. It's all your fault..."

"Alright, alright. My brother doesn't need your little Geo. Besides, who knows how many amulets he has on him."

Thinking of the many methods Mo Rong had used in the past, Yida nodded affirmatively.

"Alas, he didn't care about my previous treatment of your elder brother, which makes me seem a little petty."

Rivik pursed his lips, feeling a little depressed.

"Okay, you're worried about me, and I'm worried. How could I care about it? Come on, keep practicing..."

Ida changed the subject and handed the nail back to Revick, diverting her attention.

This trick was actually effective. After putting away the amulet, she really picked up the bone nail and started practicing.

But before long, he started to babble again: "You once said that you and your eldest brother went to the same shop to cast this nail, and you gave it a name at that time?"

“I don’t even know what it’s called.”

When asked this question, Ida was silent for a moment, which was rare, and then replied: "We are of the same mind."

concentric?

Rivik raised his brows, his eyes fell on the other half of the bone nail in his hand, and he felt a little jealous.

The complete bone nail is divided into two parts, also known as concentric...

who can that be?

It's no wonder that Revik would think too much. Ida rarely mentioned her past, and at most she would talk about her experiences with Mo Rong.

Ida didn't notice her expression, and muttered to himself: "One heart, one heart. The two bone nails naturally represent the two halves of my heart. I have never let other insects touch it before, because my half of my heart has already belonged to someone."

The original meaning of these words was to commemorate his deceased elder brother and the separated Mo Rong, but when they fell into the ears of Riwek who was unaware of the situation, they naturally became love words.

She stopped talking and started swinging the bone nails again, but the rising blush made her face look like a ripe tomato.

Why didn’t I notice that Ida was so romantic before? Now she’s exposed.

The bone nails hit the dummy, soft and powerless, but with a touch of the girl's shyness and love.

"Eh, that's so corny~"

The sudden faint voice startled Yida. He turned around abruptly and looked at Mo Rong who had returned, at a loss as to what to do.

"Didn't you leave?"

"Of course not, or I wouldn't have heard my blockhead brother come to his senses."

Mo Rong smiled evilly, luckily it was covered by the mask, otherwise the image he had just established in Revick's mind would surely collapse.

"Here, this is for you. Stop saying bad things about me behind my back. Also, remember to help me keep an eye on you, or I'll hold you accountable!"

——Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, the rose quartz scattered everywhere like pine needles, just as it came, and completely disappeared from their sight in the same way.

Ida stretched out his hand, grasped it, felt the hardness in his palm, and spread it out, his heart trembling.

It was a stone with a pair of wings carved on it.

Under the illumination of white light all around, the pair of wings appear lifelike.

......

A deafening sound came from the palace gate, which frightened the new patrol team that had just taken over outside the gate.

They thought that they had failed in their duty and had allowed the intruder to slip in due to negligence, so they tried desperately to keep Mo Rong.

It was a pity that except for the pink tail light that was far ahead, they could not catch up no matter how hard they tried.

The scenery on both sides flew by without Mo Rong pausing for a moment until he entered the elevator.

The hinge slid, and in just a moment he was back in the City of Tears, and he headed straight for the trading company without stopping.

He remembered that he was missing something, but thought it should not be difficult to get it now.

In a short while, Mo Rong had a silver-white object in his hand - a simple key.

In fact, when he said it was a simple key, he felt that it was more like describing its appearance, because the design did look very simple.

But with just this one key, there is almost no door in the game that it cannot open. It should be renamed a master key.

Mo Rong jogged all the way until he stopped at the spire where the Soul Sanctuary was located.

"Hey, why is the manhole cover locked?"
