On the top floor of the most dilapidated building in the orphanage, the director's office was filled with a dead air.
Angel and Frode stood in front of the window, looking at the only lighted room in the building opposite. It was originally the library of the orphanage, and contained a large number of fairy tales and picture books collected by the Thyssen family. However, the orphanage
After being abandoned, these books were burned.
The reason why the lights are still on there now is because it was temporarily converted into a soul library.
Angel presented the soul-related magazines, leather scrolls, and basic soul training methods he had read through illusions and placed them in the library.
"How long has little Sam been in there?" Angel asked softly.
Flood: "Since little Sam discovered the library two days ago, he has stayed in it and never came out."
After Froude finished speaking, there was confusion on his face: "Why do you put books about souls there?"
"It's just for him to see." Angel looked at the figure reflected in the light in the opposite window.
"Since it was for little Sam, why didn't you tell him about the library in the first place, and instead let him wander around and discover the library?" Flood still didn't understand.
"The benefits of subjective initiative and passive acceptance are completely different." Angele paused: "Moreover, this is a test for recruiting disciples."
"Apprenticeship test?"
"Nice was determined to accept Little Sam as his apprentice. Before Little Sam actually entered the Savage Cave, he asked me to prepare this test." Angel explained.
Froude finally understood at this time that the so-called apprenticeship test was actually similar to the test of a leader on a gifted person.
The fantasy world of "Dead by Daylight: Nightmare Orphanage" that Flood is currently running can be considered this type of trial.
However, although I understand, I still can't understand: "I remember that Mr. Nice is not an academic, right?"
Since he is not an academic wizard, why does the apprenticeship test consist of reading a book?
"Do you think the apprenticeship test is just about reading a book?" Angel chuckled: "The test has not officially started yet. Reading is only a prerequisite for the entire test, and it is also an inevitable condition."
"So what's the real test?"
As soon as Froude finished his question and before he got a response from Angel, he saw the candlelight in the library opposite dimmed. After staying in the library for two days and two nights, little Sam finally walked out of it.
Seeing little Sam leaving the library, Angel's eyes flashed with a halo. At the same time, the illusion of books he had built in the library disappeared and returned to a dilapidated appearance.
"Testing will begin soon."
After Angel muttered softly, before Froud could ask, the conversation changed: "How is the progress on your side?"
Froude: "I have understood the method of learning soul tricks, and I have basically met the conditions for practicing, so I can start practicing for the first time."
Angel: "I remember that to formally learn the soul trick, you need to choose a place with a strong sense of death?"
Froude nodded: "Yes, the death energy in the orphanage should be able to satisfy the need to learn soul tricks."
"Satisfaction is enough, but don't forget that after you study, you will still have Ada and Shanni. Moreover, if there is no death energy in the orphanage, the 'Dead by Daylight' trial left here will not be the best."
Effect."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Change another place. I happen to know a place that is suitable for the practice environment of soul tricks." Angler paused and said softly: "Besides, that is also the place where little Sam is tested."
At this point, Angel moved his eyes from the opposite floor and looked at the dark sky in the distance and the rolling mountains at the end of the sky.
"Star Lake Castle."
…
Little Sam stood on the bank of the rippling blue lake, looking at the castle in the distance with mottled light and shadow in the sunlight, his expression filled with emotion.
In less than a week, he actually returned to Xinghu Castle.
While little Sam was in a daze, a cold little hand touched his wrist: "Brother Sam, I heard from Master Thiessen that this is your family's place?"
"It was just before, but now it is abandoned." Little Sam held Ada's hand.
"Our orphanage is also abandoned." Ada didn't care about the abandonment at all, and even looked at the majestic castle in the distance with longing: "Brother Sam, can I live in a big room later?"
Little Sam looked at Angel on the other side with some hesitation.
Angel: "This is your territory. You decide where Ada and Shanni will live."
Little Sam nodded, responded to Ada, and then looked at the girl in red next to Ada. The girl glanced at him coldly, and a chill came out of his heart.
Little Sam quickly turned his head, not daring to look further.
This girl named Shani... is so scary.
Little Sam didn't dare to stare at Shanni anymore, and walked at the front with his head sullenly, leading everyone to the Star Lake Castle, and arranged for Ada and Shanni to be in a room at a high place where they could see the waves of the lake.
After arranging Ada and Shani, little Sam looked at Angel and Frode.
"You don't need to arrange our rooms. The purpose of coming here this time is to help Froud practice. We will find the best place to practice in the surroundings and will not live in the castle." Angele paused: "
If you want to, just stay in the castle for the next few days and take good care of Ada and Shani."
Flood also smiled and added: "To be precise, take good care of Ada. Shani will fall asleep in the next few days, so you don't have to worry about him."
Shanni is at the peak of her death energy, and her personality is violent and impulsive. She is very likely to lose control in reality, so she should stay in the wilderness of dreams for a while first.
Little Sam nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then we'll leave first. Please pay attention to your safety. If you encounter danger, remember not to be reckless and think more carefully about solutions." Angel patted Little Sam on the shoulder with a hint, and then ignored him.
Mu, and Froude left Star Lake Castle and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Little Sam felt a little suspicious and murmured in a low voice: "In danger? What danger?"
Ada, who was following little Sam, said casually: "Are you talking about a thief? I heard from the young master that there are very valuable paintings in this castle, which are always coveted by thieves, and people break in from time to time."
"Is he really a thief?" Little Sam felt something was wrong, and Angel's last look seemed to reveal some bad information.
"Whether it's a thief or a beast, it doesn't matter." Ada patted her chest: "Although I'm not as powerful as Shani, I can still deal with these. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will protect Brother Sam.
"
Little Sam was still a little suspicious at first, but when he saw Ada's cute and cute appearance, his attention was diverted.
Little Sam smiled and touched Ada's head: "You can stay here with peace of mind. There are also some mechanisms in the castle. I will repair them later. If thieves and wild beasts really break in, relying on the mechanisms should be enough to deal with them."
…
Angel and Frode stood on the hill behind the lake.
Flood looked at the Star Lake Castle in the distance and whispered: "Because there were a large number of undead souls entrenched here, the death aura here is indeed very strong, and it is a suitable place for practicing soul tricks. However, I don't feel what you are saying."
I’m talking about the spider-dead spirit, although the death aura here is strong, it’s extremely clean.”
"Could it be that the undead spider that Little Sam saw in the talent test was just a fiction? She is not here, and may not even exist."
Angel said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist."
"But, didn't your lord say that the Ness wizard would test little Sam by turning into a spider undead?"
Nice can become close friends with Sanders, which means that they have similar values. Sanders tested talented people and directly launched a nine-cabin bloody battle, killing countless people; as a close friend of Sanders
,How could the apprenticeship test in Nice be just reading a book easily?
Nice's apprenticeship test is to let little Sam come into contact with the undead spider, and even... kill it.
It sounds difficult, and it is.
Even if Froud still has a physical body, if he really wants to confront the undead, he still doesn't know who will escape; as for the confrontation with the special undead, Froude will definitely lose.
However, although Flood can't do it, little Sam can.
According to Little Sam's own account, the undead with a human head and a spider body was his relative, Mrs. Silla.
Because of their kinship, Lady Silla would have a stronger desire to kill Little Sam; but at the same time, Little Sam would not have no chance to fight back.
And this opportunity is his blood.
Blood ties have a wonderful connection. Mrs. Silla can use blood ties to ignite murderous intentions against little Sam. Little Sam can also use his own blood to cause severe damage to Mrs. Silla that even extraordinary people can hardly inflict.
It might even cause Lady Silla to die completely.
And because only Little Sam had such an opportunity to fight back, Nice took advantage of the situation and formulated such a special apprenticeship test for Little Sam.
Before, I let little Sam read a book, and through the records in the book, I let little Sam know how to solve the problem of undead spiders.
When the time comes to meet the undead in the form of a spider, little Sam can turn knowledge into a sharp sword in his hand.
Of course, everything can go wrong.
If little Sam hadn't discovered the library, if he hadn't seen the solution to the undead spiders, then of course he wouldn't have been able to deal with Lady Silla.
Even if he sees a way to deal with the undead spiders, little Sam may not have the courage and wisdom to kill the undead spiders.
Therefore, this still requires little Sam's own efforts and a little bit of luck.
Of course, Nice couldn't really let someone with a near-spiritual body like Little Sam die. He asked Angel to save Little Sam when he was about to die.
But if Angel is really used to rescue him, little Sam's test score will plummet.
Angel said lightly: "This is just a test drawn up by Nice based on the current situation. If the undead spider really appears, the test will continue; if the undead spider does not appear, then what should be done, wait until we return
In the Savage Cave, Nice will naturally customize a new test for little Sam."
"That's it." Froude: "The difficulty of this kind of test is simply appalling."
There was a trace of pity in Froude's eyes: "I still hope that little Sam will not encounter the undead spider. He is still a mortal now. Even if he does learn how to kill the undead spider, it may not be useful."
For example, the spider-turned-undead didn't give Little Sam any time to prepare, and directly attacked and killed him. Even if there was a better way, Little Sam wouldn't be able to use it.
However, this situation is relatively rare. When dealing with ordinary people, the undead spider may kill them on sight; but when dealing with blood relatives, her resentment will reach its highest point, and she will probably use cannibalization and killing. This gives Xiao Sai
Huge time buffer.
Angel glanced at Froud in surprise: "At this time, you also considered that little Sam would be in danger... Sure enough, although the near-spiritual body is still invisible, it has already begun to affect the undead.
.”
Both Flood and Ada seemed to care about little Sam.
The only exception is Shanni. However, Shanni is only indifferent on the surface, but it is hard to say what she thinks on the inside.
Froude was stunned for a moment. If anyone else had said this, Froude would have definitely refuted it; but Angel, as his master, naturally couldn't be without aim.
Flood recalled his recent emotions. Indeed, he paid unusual attention to little Sam, and he began to get close to him subtly.
At first, he thought that little Sam was brought back by Angel, so there was no harm in getting close to him; but when he recalled the time when Angel brought Duru, he definitely didn't feel this way.
Is this the power of the near-spiritual body?
Froud was shocked, fear flashed in his eyes.
Angel smiled and said: "You don't have to look like you are facing a powerful enemy. When you don't know it, your subconscious will control your closeness; when you really realize it, you will naturally become clear and will not be approached.
The influence of the spiritual body.”
Having said that, Froud was still a little frightened.
Angel shook his head and changed the topic: "Now it's time to talk about you. Which soul trick do you plan to start practicing first?"
Soul tricks contain a lot of content, from technical to defensive to offensive, all-encompassing.
That's why Angel asked this question.
Froud pondered for a moment: "My original plan was to first practice the transformation of dead gas into matter. This is the most direct way I can influence the material world. However, since there may be spider-forming undead here, I plan to take another look."
The reason why Froud said this is because he is new to learning soul tricks. Although it has a huge disadvantage and is very likely to be affected by the death energy and fall, and must be escorted by someone, it also has a huge advantage.
The first soul trick, which is enhanced by the death energy, can be accomplished in a very short period of time.
If you want to learn the second soul trick, it will take a very long time, and you have to learn it through time and effort. Most of the undead outside only know one soul trick, and therefore, those who know multiple tricks are basically old ghosts.
.
Because of this mechanism, initial selection is very important.
What Froude hopes is to maximize himself.
Death gas was something he had considered before. But now, there was a special undead that seemed to be nearby, which gave him new ideas.
