Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Lurian once thought about the price it would cost to seal an ancient god.

Thinking at the best, if you have to sacrifice the temporary development of Hallownest and use a lot of people and material resources, it will be feasible. That would be even better.

Thinking about the worst, not only would a lot of development be sacrificed on the way to sealing, but a lot of lives would also be lost. And with the power of the ancient gods, even King Bai might have to join in. This was a price he was not willing to pay. Accepted.

Now that he heard what the king said, he was very puzzled and had to ask:

"Could it be that the method you mentioned to seal the ancient gods was in one person?"

King Bai nodded. This shocked Lu Ruien. Who could seal the ancient god alone? And according to what Bai Wang said, that person is most likely not born yet?

Could it be that King Bai was deceived by a fortune teller?

Seeing Lu Ruien's constipated look, King Bai spoke again to give him a reassurance.

"Don't worry, I got this person through countless experiments. It is filled with the power of me, the void, and the queen. Combined with the secrets of the moth clan, she will be able to seal her in the dream forever."

"this......"

Although King Bai spoke, Lu Ruien always felt that this matter was unreliable, but at the moment he had nothing to help with this matter, so he stopped talking.

A letter was taken out of the robe and placed on the tea table.

"Actually, the main reason why I came here this time is for something like this. It contains a very important thing, which requires the affirmation of your own will."

Seeing this, Lu Ruien hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to entrust to me, just tell me. I will do my best."

King Bai shook his head, this was not something that could be guaranteed with just a nod.

"That's not the problem. You can open this letter after I leave. If you have a decision, just send someone to the palace."

"Lurien, remember, this matter must follow your own will. I don't need you to be completely loyal in this matter."

After saying that, the figure of King Bai disappeared from Lu Ruien's eyes.

The envelope on the table was shining with white light, which meant that the king had not yet left the City of Tears. Lurian turned his head to look at the Soul Sanctuary, with a different emotion flashing in his eyes.

......

"Waste! Waste! A bunch of waste!"

"If you can't fight a group of people, forget it, and you can't run away. What do you do to feed you!"

Soumas angrily cursed at his subordinates, and the sentinels who were scolded were also miserable.

He was beaten so badly at that time, why did he have the nerve to scold them?

Thomas also knew about King Bai's visit today, but because of this matter, he did not dare to greet him in person. He had made a guarantee with King Bai before, and how long after that, this happened again. File matter.

"Get out! Everyone get out! A bunch of trash!"

Soumas angrily summoned several light balls and threw them at everyone, cursed a few times and returned to the roof.

Recalling the scene of fighting here at that time, Soumas was filled with anger. Why could he, who had merged so many souls, not be able to defeat even an ordinary person?

Soumas was about to curse a few more words, but suddenly his hair stood on end, and a pressure descended behind him, and he hurriedly knelt down.

"See your Majesty!"

"Somas, have you been so busy lately? You have time to enjoy the scenery here."

King Bai's words were neither salty nor light, but they made Somas tremble.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! I thought I had no face to see the King, so I waited in the sanctuary and asked the King to punish me!"

"You really deserve to be punished!"

Under the strong pressure, the recently repaired glass under Somas' knees broke again, but fortunately it was not completely shattered, otherwise he would be embarrassed again.

"I asked you to conduct experiments to find a way to deal with the plague. What about you? What did you do?"

"Did you succeed in the experiment I asked you to do?"

"No...no..."

"But Your Majesty! I have found a way! I believe this method can help you!"

King Bai looked through the obstacles and looked at the bottles and jars in the Soul Sanctuary, and said in a cold tone:

"Method? Integrating other people's souls into one's own body is also considered a method? Do you really think I don't know the products of those failed experiments?"

"I gave you so many resources, and you just hand over this answer?"

"But Your Majesty! This way is feasible! These experiments..."

King Bai raised his arm slightly, interrupting Somas's words.

"Okay, Soumas, you know it's your knowledge and talent that attracted me to you. It's not too late to look back now, don't let me down."

"But......"

Soumas still wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but the pressure exerted on him by the White King suddenly disappeared. At this time, it was meaningless to speak.

He stared blankly at the sky and murmured:

"King, why don't you believe me? Forget it, greatness cannot avoid prejudice."

"I will prove to you that this path is correct."

......

"The combination of these plant bubbles and dream liquid can give birth to such an exquisite product?"

Monomen looked at the jellyfish-like floating object in front of him and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Ever since King Bai gave these liquids to her, she had shifted the focus of her mission from the acid liquid to here.

Although she is a teacher, most of her research does not involve the soul, so reaching this point has consumed a lot of energy on her part.

Not only must she supplement her knowledge about the soul, but she must also expand upon it. Otherwise, how could she have made the discoveries she has now when faced with such difficult problems.

Just when she wanted to conduct further experiments, a wisp of white light appeared in the laboratory and transformed into the figure of King Bai.

"See your Majesty!"

"I love your life."

King Bai saw the jellyfish floating not far away, and could clearly feel that its core was actually a ball of dream liquid. He couldn't help but become curious, walked to the jellyfish and asked Monomon.

"What is this thing?"

As he spoke, he wanted to touch the jellyfish with his hand, but was stopped by Monomon.

"Your Majesty, please wait! This object is extremely dangerous and must not be touched."

King Bai stopped his movements and waited for Monomen to give him an explanation.

"Your Majesty, this object is a new research I have been conducting these days. Using bubbles produced by a special plant in the canyon as the body, and then injecting dream liquid, you can achieve the effect of the object in front of you."

"Then what danger did you just talk about?"

Monomen hesitated for a moment, bowed and asked Bai Wang to wait outside first, while he led a jellyfish outside the laboratory.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

As he spoke, Monomon frowned and threw a stone at the jellyfish.

In fact, the danger of this thing was not discovered by her, but by a cleaning staff. She was not in the laboratory at the time. Later, she heard from others outside the laboratory that shortly after the cleaning staff entered the laboratory, there was a rumor. There was a burst of explosions.

After the movement disappeared, everyone went in and found that the man was dead on the ground, with orange liquid scattered around him.

After burying the man, Monomon turned her attention to the danger of the jellyfish. She had not touched it in the past few days of research, but why was she not attacked?

So she speculated that the jellyfish is likely to be self-aware and attack anyone who touches it except herself.

"Boom~"

As the stone smashed through the jellyfish's shell, the scene of an explosion that Monomen had imagined did not appear. The dream liquid actually came straight towards her!

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Just when Monomen was about to push away King Bai, he saw a flash of white light, and the dream liquid exploded halfway for some reason. The juice splashed around the two of them, but it seemed to fall on a barrier.

"Hey, you can also automatically track enemies? Did you actually make a weapon out of dream liquid?"

King Bai looked at the orange liquid falling on the ground after the barrier disappeared and couldn't help but joked.

Monomen didn't expect such an unexpected situation to happen, making such a big joke in front of King Bai, and hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! It was my fault. I showed the unfinished product to the King, and almost threatened the King. Please punish me!"

King Bai helped Monomen up, without any trace of blame in his eyes.

Compared to Somas's research, Monomon gave him a surprise, which allowed him to see the different uses of dream liquid.

"The research on this thing is very laborious, right? You put so much effort into Hallownest, how can I blame you?"

Looking at the jellyfish disappearing in front of him, King Bai then asked:

"Do you still have this thing?"

"There are still many in the laboratory, all of which are used for research."

"It seems like you have taken a completely different path than me."

King Bai sighed and took out a letter from his arms. After hesitating for a while, he handed it to Monomen and said similar words to Lurian not long ago.

After learning about the container, Monomon was as surprised as Lurian.

"I hope your research can continue and not be affected by the things mentioned in the letter. I see another possibility in you."

"Remember, you don't have to rush for an answer. Just ask someone to come to the palace when you think about it. I'm looking forward to your response."

"As ordered!"
