After the dazzling light disappeared, Xia Yu regained his vision.
At this moment, what appeared in front of him was a cave entangled with tree roots. The cave seemed to be naturally formed, and the deep corners of the cave were covered with dense blood-red eggs.
There was a withered and thin figure lying on top of the insect eggs. The moment he saw Xia Yu, the figure spoke.
"...Ah, you are a newcomer, right? It's strange. There hasn't been a newcomer for a long time. I tell you, be happy. This is the resting place we taboos dream of, the cold and gentle world of painting──
Iredel.”
"You should hurry up and look for it. Where is the sweet, cradle of decay..."
The figure seemed to be talking to himself or to Xia Yu. After uttering two sentences, the figure curled up among the insect eggs and remained motionless.
Although the place where he was lying was disgusting, the figure looked satisfied. It seemed that this place was the most comfortable hotbed and had an unparalleled attraction for him.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu felt a little uncomfortable, because he thought of the fly house, which was simply the most disgusting place in the Third Soul World, even more disgusting than the Frank Pit.
The fly room was full of large, distinct insect eggs, blood-sucking flies larger than humans were flying in the air, the floor was full of putrid blood, and the air was full of the smell of blood.
What caused all this was the corruption of the painting world.
Because the world of paintings is painted with different blood as pigments, over time, the blood will breed corruption, and the world in the painting will also become corrupt.
Only by igniting a flame can this corrupt world be purified and welcome the next world of painting.
But the direction it was supposed to take has been unable to ignite the flame due to the Taboo, and Miss Painter cannot draw a new world of painting.
As for the reason, it’s because of one sentence.
Those who do not understand the flames cannot paint the world; those who are seduced by fire cannot paint the world.
As for why the taboos are unwilling to let the flames ignite, it is because this world in the painting is their only destination, and they naturally do not want to let this place be purified by flames.
Although the names of those taboos seem to be unspeakable taboos, in fact they are existences abandoned by the outside world.
Or maybe because there is no place for him in the outside world, he has to come to the all-inclusive painting world of Eredel.
To the outside world, the painting world is a cold and dark garbage dump, but for the abandoned people who have lost everything, this is their only destination!
Of course, not everyone wants to live in a lifeless painting world all the time.
Saliwan, the hero who runs through the entire story of Soul III, was born in the world of painting, and then step by step reached his current position as the Pope of Irushil.
This unknown person who came out of the world in the painting eventually became the center of the whirlpool of the world.
If it hadn't blocked Ashes' path, Saliwan might have had the last laugh and become the new god of the new era.
Thinking back to this, Xia Yu suddenly thought of Saliwan who was still in Irushil. He didn't know if the other party knew about his existence.
To be honest, Xia Yu quite admires Saliwan. After all, a little magician who came out of the world of painting can reach his current position step by step. His mind and ability are definitely not low.
If you can take him as his subordinate, he will definitely be the boss's favorite subordinate.
But being Sullivan's boss is not a good thing. After all, Sullivan's former boss, Shadow Sun Gwendelin, has now transformed into the shape of the Deep Saint Eldridge... On the contrary, it should be Ai
Dritch had taken the shape of Gwendelin.
The former deputy boss, the half-dragon girl Youjika, was even imprisoned on the top floor of an abandoned church, and was left alone forever.
But in the final analysis, it is because there is no way to control subordinates. Although Sullivan joined the Dark Moon Sword, the oath can be broken. Sullivan, whose ambition has never been extinguished, will naturally not become a Dark Moon Knight sincerely.
Do things for Gwendelin.
If it were him, no matter what, he would have to carve a contract on his soul. Since he couldn't guarantee true loyalty, then the next best thing would be to take control of his life.
Since you can’t get the heart, it’s okay to just get the body.
"Tsk, tsk, I actually have such thoughts. I am becoming more and more like a villain. It must be other people who have led me astray."
Xia Yu walked out of the cave, looked at the world of ice and snow outside, and commented with his tongue.
Speaking of this, he almost forgot to laugh at his other selves, so he stopped waiting and started laughing.
[Dark Soul III]: The undead and the faded. Your final BOSS is a god. Even if you have a beautiful teacher, you still have to face such a powerful enemy.
[Dark Souls 3]: Hehehehehehehehehahahahaha~
【Eldon Circle】:?
【Dark Souls 1】:?
[Dark Soul 1]: What stimulation did this guy receive? How does he feel...
[Elden Ring]: Feeling like crazy?
[Dark Soul 1]: Yes, is it finally driven crazy by the third world of Souls?
[Dark Souls 3]: Hehehe, I’m not crazy! I just thought of happy things!!
Zhong Xiayu:......
Xia Yu and everyone were a little speechless at this moment, why was Ashes so nervous every time he appeared.
[Clash of Clans]: What have you done? Why are you so crazy?
[Dark Souls 3]: I didn’t do much, I just killed the Frank Undead Team, and now I’m back in the painting world.
[Clash of Clans]: Is it because the painting world is too cold? So your brain is frozen?
[Dark Soul 1]: Tsk, it’s so miserable. Not only was poor Ash’s brain burned out by the embers, but now his brain is also frozen.
[Dark Soul 1]: Speaking of which, these are the spells and fire magic I recently learned. They are quite easy to use, so I put them out.
[Dark Soul 1]@[Dark Soul 3]: By the way, freezing magic seems to be unique to the painting world. I haven't gone to the painting world yet, so I can only rely on you.
[Dark Souls 3]: Okay, no need to worry, I originally wanted to open the painting world and go directly to Irushil. Since you need freezing magic, then I will go find it.
[Dark Soul 1]: Well...actually it's not that necessary.
[Dark Souls 3]: Damn Kai, if I say you need it, you must need it. I will go look for her and see if I can find Sullivan’s old mother.
【Clash of Clans】: What, you want to perform the role of 子の目の前で狠されて?
[Dark Soul 3]:...You are still the pervert.
[Dark Souls 3]: Sullivan’s old mother is a treant banshee, how can you do this?
[Clash of Clans]: Huh? Aren’t you going to do it?
[Dark Soul 3]: I... will not be fooled. Do you think I will be so angry? You idiot, if you want to anger me, you are 20,000 years too early.
[Dark Souls 3]: Moisturize.
After sending the message in the group, Xia Yu closed the chat group, wanting to anger him, haha, what a naive idea.
However, when it comes to Sullivan's old mother being a treant banshee, this is actually just the speculation of spiritualists.
Because someone once unpacked a piece of dialogue that was missing from the game.
'My lovely child... where are you? It's cold outside, isn't it? Very cold, isn't it? Where have you been... My lovely child, I'm here, it's very cold outside, you can't find shelter.
So - because you are my lovely child, so, child, come back quickly.'
After the boss unpacked it, I successfully concluded that this passage belongs to the treant banshee at the end of the ice lake path at the bottom of the painting world. The treant banshee has been crying and has the magic of "instant freezing" under her feet.
In the introduction to the magic of "Instant Freeze", this is how it is described.
One of the magic spells that the young magician Salivan left before leaving painting can emit extremely low-temperature fog. For him, who was born and raised in painting, that cold land is a hometown that must be abandoned. So far, he has never
experienced loss.
Combining the description of the magic and the unpacking voice, we can draw a very likely conclusion, that is, Saliwan is the child of the tree-man banshee.
There is another evidence for this speculation, which is the second stage of Sullivan. In the second stage, Sullivan will grow branches and wings, which is very similar to the tree man.
But in the end, this is just the speculation of soul scientists, and there is no conclusive evidence. After all, the fragmented narrative of the Black Soul world is not good at all. All kinds of stories can only be collected and pieced together by players themselves and guessed by association.
However, for Xia Yu, fragmented narrative is not a trouble. After all, no matter how the Riddler is, he has visited this world in person, so he can naturally confirm this speculation in person.
If the Treant Banshee is really Salivan's old mother, hey hey, that would be fun.
After thinking about it, a sinister smile appeared on Xia Yu's face, but the next moment, he withdrew his smile. He was a serious person, how could he show that kind of smile? It was so inappropriate.
Shaking his head to get rid of the inexplicable thoughts, Xia Yu walked towards the ice and snow outside.
Sister Friede and the priest are not in a hurry. Anyway, they are both people who are content with the status quo. The reality without any change is the best reality for them.
He could have explored the entire painting world, then gone outside to hunt down all the remaining three salary kings, and it wouldn't be too late to come back to find Fried.
As for the Ring Seal City after that, there is no need to worry. The Ring Seal City is in a time-sealed state, and Princess Felenore paid the price of her eternal sleep to force the Ring Seal City to stay at the moment before the fire was extinguished.
Although the seal of time is not absolutely static, it only slows down the passage of time in Ring Seal City and itself to the greatest extent, it will not disappear so easily after all.
Unless someone learns from Ashes and specifically touches the eggshell that is the core of the seal, but presumably no one except Ashes and the undead would be so mean.
While thinking about this, Xia Yu stepped into the white Iredel.
…
[Clash of Clans]: That guy didn’t get angry and make shady remarks? It’s really amazing.
[Dark Soul 1]: Do you think everyone is the same as you, always posting content that is blocked by chat groups?
【Clash of Clans】:(￢_￢)
[Clash of Clans]: Ah, yes, yes.
[Marvel]: It feels so peaceful recently, no new people have joined the group, and no big events have happened.
[NieR Automata]: Wouldn't it be better to have peace? If there were big events every day, there would probably be no time to breathe.
[Original God]: One thing to say, one thing to say, it is true.
[Marvel]: I don’t know when DC will join the group. If DC Xia Yu joins the group, the first thing he will definitely do is throw the Riddler out of Gotham.
[NieR Automata]: Come on, if the Riddler really gets out of Gotham, then there will probably be Riddlers everywhere, so we might as well lock the Riddler in Gotham.
Why are the Riddler everywhere? Because everyone told the Riddler to get out of Gotham, so there are Riddlers everywhere except Gotham.
[Marvel]: Well, that’s true.
[Marvel]: Speaking of which, how are you doing as a football player?
[NieR Automata]: What else can I do? That’s it. I’m currently moving away the resources from the Kingdom of Darkness. After all, there’s no sun there and it’s gloomy and not suitable for founding a country.
[Marvel]: Then you’re not going to try to make the earth rotate again?
[NieR Automata]: Let’s forget it. I’m afraid that the earth will collapse before it starts spinning. After all, this world is a magical world and anything can happen.
[NieR Automata]: But I plan to try to observe the parallel world later to see if I can open a space door to the world of "Riders on Dragon's Back". After all, that world still has a deep connection with the Nier world.
of.
[Marvel]: Wow, awesome!
【Nioh 2】: What are you guys talking about?
[Nioh 2]: Damn it? Are you planning to observe parallel worlds? It’s so irritating that people are so much more powerful than each other. I have just completed Oda Nobunaga’s world-wide military plan and conquered the entire Sengoku Japan. You are thinking about it.
Conquered the parallel world.
[NieR Automata]: Emmm, I didn’t say I wanted to conquer the parallel world. I’m not a tyrant greedy for power. I just want to bring the glory of mankind to that world.
【Nioh 2】: What if they don’t accept it?
[NieR Automata]: They will accept it. After all, we have also played PlayStation games, and we still have some experience as a leader.
[Sekiro]: What are the experiences of war criminals?
[Nioh 2]: Oh? You actually have some moments of excitement. We are both at the end of the Warring States Period. How are you doing there?
[Sekiro]: It’s okay. I just left all the responsibilities to Saichiro. This bastard has really good ideas. He actually wants me to be the leader of Ashina Kingdom. Only a fool should be the leader of Ashina Kingdom. I have more work to do and less time to pay.
No holidays.
【Nioh 2】: Indeed, only fools become leaders.
Neil Xiayu:……
I suspect you are scolding me, and I have ample evidence.
[NieR Automata]: Ahem...
[Sekiro]: Ahem, it’s not bad to be a leader. By the way, I found Immortality and opened the door.
【Nioh 2】: So fast?
[Sekiro]: What a shame, the Immortal Slash Open Door is actually at Xianfeng Temple. If I had known, I would have brought it back last time.
[Ghost Line Tokyo]: Cut open the door without dying? Just right, lend it to me.
Among the two immortal swords, the one that opens the door is a ceremonial knife used to sacrifice the immortal body and recall the dead from the underworld.
In other words, opening the door can communicate with the underworld of the underworld, and there is obviously something wrong with the underworld on the evil spirit Xia Yu's side, so he just used the door to go to the underworld to have a look.
I originally wanted to continue the painting world of Soul Writing III...but I haven't played the painting world yet. I just ran to Irushil in the Cold Valley yesterday, and then ran all the way to the underground prison of Irushil. Let's change the world first.
Slowly, the writing of the Black Soul World feels a little tired.
If you don't like it, you don't have to subscribe. It's not a big problem. I will summarize the progress of each world in the chapter at the end of the world, just like this chapter.
