This daily game is so weird

Chapter 123 [The Pope and the Method of Unsealing]

"Is it the iron box?"

Seeing this iron box, Yu Zhou seemed to have guessed what the next copy would be.

"Is it to lift the seal of the iron box?"

Previously, I had obtained the hilt of the Exorcist Sword in an iron box. This time, I should have actually unlocked the seal of the iron box as a copy.

"Of course, it is also possible that he plays the role of the knight next to the princess, assisting the princess in getting the iron box from the newly awakened demon king in the Mountain of the End."

Yu Zhou thought to himself.

After all, there seem to be only these two possibilities regarding the copy of the iron box.

Thinking about it, Yu Zhou stepped forward.

The copy information suddenly popped up in front of me:

[You found a challenge copy! 】

[Is it on? 】

【Remaining times today: 10】

"Yes."

Yu Zhou didn't hesitate much, he immediately responded in his heart and opened this copy.

Soon, a burst of light lit up on the iron box, and the remaining number of times today also became 9.

Yu Zhou looked around, then calmly stepped forward and touched the iron box.

Then, the world in front of him changed instantly.

The dilapidated cultural and creative streets with the cultural atmosphere of the old era disappeared and were replaced by a huge open-air square in a medieval castle.

The open square was crowded.

They are all humans and demi-humans wearing various fancy clothes.

Everyone lined up in the square, and at the end of the long queue was a huge altar that looked quite impressive. On top of the altar, there was a delicate stone tray.On the tray was the iron box that Yu Zhou had escorted.

Standing next to the iron box was Ecott, the captain of the Kingdom Guard whom Yu Zhou had met before.

At this moment, Eckert was fully armed and standing majestically aside.

Beside him, there was a young man wearing a red and white holy robe and a holy crown.

The man gave people a solemn feeling, and the holy clothes on his body were tattooed with patterns similar to the runes of holy light.

It seems that he is a senior member of the Holy Light Order.

On the high wall of this open-air square, the king of the Warut Kingdom was sitting on his throne, overlooking everything in the square.

"It seems that this copy is to remove the seal on the iron box."

Yu Zhou remembered that at the end of escorting the Iron Box, the Kingdom Guard Captain Ecott said that he would summon the warriors of the Kingdom to find someone who could unlock the seal of the Iron Box.

At this moment, these people in the square should be warriors from all over the country who have been summoned.

"It's our turn soon, Augustus, are you nervous? As long as you can unlock the seal of the Demon King's Box, you can obtain the treasures inside and become a brave man of this era, with enough power to save the entire kingdom! Such an honor , no matter who it is, they will want to get it, right?”

At this time, a human with pointed ears like an elf in front of Yu Zhou was asking a brown-haired human in front of him.

He spoke loudly, and Yu Zhou was right behind him and could hear clearly.

Yu Zhou knew that this was a common practice in every copy.

Every time you enter a dungeon, the NPC will spontaneously start talking, and the content of his speech is related to the target in the dungeon.

It is intended to guide players to complete the copy objectives.

Of course, not every copy is guided by dialogue in this way.

There are also those that use the sound of a rattle to guide you, like the archery dungeon.

Or like the hang glider copy, use a distant target point as a guide.

However, in general, there will be more guidance through NPC dialogue, and the specific process of the task can be explained more clearly.

However, when Yu Zhou began to realize that these NPCs would act as commentators, listening to this kind of conversation couldn't help but seem a little funny.

"Of course, Yax, we all grew up listening to the stories of ancient warriors. Becoming a warrior is my dream! However, it is not that simple to lift the seal set by the devil himself. You Didn’t you notice? The moment most people touched the iron box, they were eliminated because they couldn’t stand the erosion of the demonic energy."

The man called August replied.

Other humans also echoed: "Of course, do you think being a brave man is so easy? A brave man not only needs to have great courage, but also needs to have the physique and strength to resist the power of the devil! In the morning, they were already eliminated More than 2000 people have been recruited, and among the 2000 of us, it’s probably difficult to find a qualified candidate.”

"After all, there is only one brave man in an era!"

"I, I hope I can be the qualified person! Defeat the Demon King! Revenge for Princess Liesel!"

"We must not let the sacrifice of the great and kind-hearted Princess Lisse be in vain!"

When Princess Lisse was mentioned, the warriors who were summoned suddenly became indignant.

It is not difficult to see that Princess Lisse is very prestigious among the people.

Amidst the discussion among the NPCs, Yu Zhou was also pushed forward, and soon reached the top ten positions in the long queue.

The noncommissioned officer in charge of the review examined Yu Zhou and the others one by one, and only after confirming that no monsters or monsters had been mixed in, Yu Zhou and the others were allowed to move forward to the big altar.

When everyone passed by the big altar, Yu Zhou saw a majestic human statue standing beside the big altar.

"That's the statue of an ancient brave man!"

Yax on the side spoke passionately again.

Yu Zhou also noticed that the statue was holding a stone sculpture of the Exorcist Sword.

"Legend has it that the statue of the ancient brave man contains his blessings for future brave men."

"I have also heard that, but if you want to get the blessing of the ancient warrior, you need to hold a complete exorcism sword. This means that not only do you have to take the fragments of the exorcism sword from the Demon King's Box When we come out, we have to collect all the fragments of the Exorcist Sword."

"I heard that except for the most critical fragment that was sealed by the Demon King, the other fragments of the Exorcist Sword were used by ancient warriors to make weapons against the Demon King and the Apostles. But as the Demon King and the Apostles were The ancient warriors were defeated, and these new weapons disappeared."

The NPCs were discussing among themselves.

They have no doubts about these ancient stories and legends they have heard since childhood.

Yu Zhou also roughly understood the ins and outs of the entire story from their conversation, combined with the previous copy of the Demon King's Apostle.

"It seems that the timeline of this dungeon should be before the Demon King's apostles lifted the seal. In this dungeon, you can get information about the remaining fragments from the NPCs."

"The so-called weapons made by brave men to deal with demon kings and apostles should be the holy weapons used to seal the apostles, right?"

For example, the holy sword stuck on the chest of the Earth Demon.

With this information, only when players follow the timeline of the dungeon and play it one by one normally can they know how to play the subsequent dungeons.

"However, it takes a lot of time for normal players to even find the entrance to the dungeon. Who knows what the correct timeline is? Unless all the dungeons are found and then connected one by one."

Yu Zhou complained secretly in his heart.

According to this random entrance design, he has no doubt that some players may directly challenge the Demon King in their first dungeon.

As a mortal, challenge the ultimate devil.

Not even weapons, skills, or props.

It's exciting to think about.

There is no other choice but to die.

Yu Zhou can be regarded as an accident. Chaogang completed many dungeons later in the timeline. He even completed the task of the Exorcist Sword ahead of schedule and successfully obtained the first fragment.

Of course, Yu Zhou could also understand the original intention of the dungeon designer.

It is estimated that the plan is to let the players explore all the dungeons and clear the level normally, and then use the connections between the dungeons and the timeline to figure out the existence of the "perfect ending" and "hidden ending" and the method of clearing the level.

It can also be regarded as another guidance method that allows players to discover multiple endings.

However, how the dungeon designer designs is one thing, and how the players play it is another.

If you can quickly clear all the endings at the same time, of course you can clear the level directly. After all, the first pass reward for special clearance is only once!
"In that case, the hidden ending of this copy should be related to the statue of this ancient warrior."

Yu Zhou analyzed.

"Do you need a complete exorcism sword to get the blessing of the ancient warrior? For this prerequisite, you have to fight at least the other four demon king apostles of wind, thunder, water, and fire to get it."

And it's hard to say whether the four Demon King's Apostles are in the weakest state like the Earth Demon Envoy.
"However, it's not necessary to kill or seal all these apostles. If you can't defeat them, it's not impossible to just take the holy weapon and run away."

Yu Zhou thought to himself.

It's his turn ahead.

"No. 2333, Xinghai Sayulian, it's your turn."

An officer, holding a booklet to record, raised his head and said to Yu Zhou.

Yu Zhou nodded and moved forward.

He saw the captain of the Kingdom Guard in front of him, Ecott, turning his head to look at Yu Zhou in surprise. When he just heard the name Xinghai, he thought it sounded familiar. When he turned around, he found that it was indeed Yu Zhou.

"It's you! I knew you would show up."

Ecott looked surprised when he saw Yu Zhou.

Then he turned to the side and looked at the young man wearing a holy robe and a holy crown and said, "Your Majesty the Pope, this is the man who delivered the Demon King's Box to the Royal City a few days ago."

"pope?"

Yu Zhou was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this man who looks about the same age as himself is actually the Pope of the Holy Light Order?
That is the most powerful position in the Holy Light Order.

It was surprising that it was handed over to a young man.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Pope looked at Yu Zhou, but his face showed neither sadness nor joy.

His still childish face had a depth and solemnity that was beyond his age.

He said: "Although the demonic energy in the Demon King's Box has become stronger now, since you can send it here, it means that your body has a certain resistance to the demonic energy."

"Then please put your hand on the Demon King's Box and accept the test." "If you can persist for more than ten seconds without letting go under the interference of the demonic energy, I will teach you the specific method to release the seal. "

The Great Pope said to Yu Zhou in a calm and solemn tone.

"Ten seconds?"

Yu Zhou looked at the Demon King's Box, and he found that the ominous aura on the box was indeed much stronger than at the beginning.

However, what surprised Yu Zhou more than the box was that the captain of the Kingdom Guard actually remembered him.

It seems that the NPCs in the dungeons that have been cleared will remember the players.

But in this case, wouldn’t there be a BUG?

Because what he handed to Eckert was an empty box. This was obviously not an empty box, and the ominous aura was even stronger.

It can only be said that the designer of this copy is still too thick and not detailed enough.

Thinking about it, Yu Zhou said, "I'll give it a try." Then he stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and touched the Demon King's Box.

When the Pope and the guard captain Eckert saw this, they couldn't help but become serious.

Before Yu Zhou, 2332 warriors from across the country had been called to test it. Although more than 100 people survived the first ten seconds, in the end, they failed in the process of lifting the seal.

Now, Yu Zhou is just accepting the first test.

When Yu Zhou's palm touched the Demon King's Box, the world in front of Yu Zhou suddenly turned gray.

It was the same feeling as when I first got this iron box, but this time the feeling was even stronger.

Moreover, almost instantly, a large number of ominous auras appeared around him, as well as groups of ghosts and ghosts!

They are all the wraiths of the dead, with different forms of death and extremely terrifying appearances, and they constantly make creepy howls and cries.

That voice made Yu Zhou feel confused for a while.

"Sure enough, the ominous aura has become much stronger. These resentful spirits can even interfere with the spiritual power in my body."

Yu Zhou discovered that these resentful spirits could actively attack him. Although they would not suffer any physical damage, they could consume Yu Zhou's spiritual power.

However, this amount of consumption is still within the range that Yu Zhou can bear.

Hold on for ten seconds, no problem.

Yu Zhou also discovered the difference between this copy of the Demon King's Box and the previous copy.

It’s the soul power of Princess Lisse!

Yes, in the last dungeon, Princess Lise's soul power protected Yu Zhou from being disturbed by these spirits.But this time, the power of her soul did not appear.

"Is it because her soul power has been exhausted?"

Just as I was thinking about it, ten seconds had passed.

"Okay, please let go."

Behind him, the pope's voice sounded, indicating that Yu Zhou could take his hand back.

Yu Zhou did as he was told.

In fact, he could directly use the master key to unlock the seal, but when he heard that the Pope said that he would teach him how to contact the seal, Yu Zhou naturally wanted to see what the specific method was.

As Yu Zhou took his hand back, the sky and earth became bright again, and all the cries of ghosts and wolves disappeared.

The Pope also came to Yu Zhou in person and taught Yu Zhou how to use spiritual power to penetrate into the Demon King's Box.And in the seemingly impregnable seal, he found a breakthrough, and used his spiritual power to break through the breakthrough in one go.

The Pope used a sealed small box as an example and personally demonstrated to Yu Zhou how to unlock the seal on the small box.

Of course, the seal in this small box is far less difficult to remove than the Demon King's Box.

The Pope just used it to demonstrate to Yu Zhou so that he could understand the process.

As Yu Zhou studied all the way, he found that what the Pope taught was very easy to understand, and at the same time, he could also feel the mystery in it.

He quickly learned the secret to unblocking the seal.

At the same time, Yu Zhou also sensed extremely strong divine spiritual power from the Pope.

The strength of this spiritual power, just the tip of the iceberg exposed, made Yu Zhou feel extremely powerful.

Yu Zhou couldn't help but ask: "Since you are so strong, why don't you break this seal yourself?"

Yu Zhou just asked casually. Of course he knew that this was the arrangement of the dungeon. Otherwise, why would the players come?
However, the Pope responded to Yu Zhou's doubts without hesitation, and saw him rolling up the sleeves of his hands.

Under the luxurious holy clothes, concealed were a pair of arms wrapped in dark red demonic energy!
It can be clearly seen that these two arms have become somewhat deformed under the erosion of the demonic energy!
It seems that before the selection of the brave, the Pope had personally tried to unblock the seal, but failed.

Moreover, the price of failure is very heavy!

The Pope said: "To unlock this seal, it does not rely on strength, but more wisdom and courage. To this end, I have tried my best. If I cannot find a real brave man in the next three days, I will Continue to try to break this seal at the cost of my life.”

He said it very calmly, but Yu Zhou felt his determination to die.

Seeing this, Yu Zhou nodded.

I couldn't help but feel a little more respect for this young pope.

The pope finally warned: "Remember, there are four seals in this Demon King's Box. You must work hard to find the breaches of the four seals and break through them. Otherwise, it will be reorganized in a very short period of time, and all previous efforts will be wasted."

"At the same time, I must also remind you that the process of lifting the seal is very dangerous, and you may lose your life at any time. Do you understand that hundreds of warriors have sacrificed before you?"

The Pope said to Yu Zhou with a serious look on his face.

Yu Zhou nodded and said, "I already know what to do."

Seeing that Yu Zhou didn't show any fear even though he knew the danger, the Pope couldn't help but respect Yu Zhou a little more in his eyes.

He said: "Don't worry, you won't be fighting alone. When you lift the first three layers of seals, when you lift the last layer of seals, Princess Lise's soul will appear and help you unlock the last layer of seals. .”

"The power of your princess's soul can only support her to help you unlock the last layer of seal."

"So, please use the unsealing method with caution. If you are not confident enough to remove the fourth layer of seal, please keep your hope alive."

Hearing this, Yu Zhou understood what he meant.

The Pope wanted him to not continue to advance rashly but to withdraw if he realized that the spiritual power or physical strength in his body did not support the fourth level when he was unsealing the third level, even if the final result was death. Don't waste the princess's last bit of soul power.

Yu Zhou had no objection to this, because he didn't need the help of the princess's soul.

Thinking about it, Yu Zhou nodded to him and said, "I understand."

"Ah."

The Pope took a deep look at Yu Zhou, and then nodded to Yu Zhou.Then he took a step back and gave Yu Zhou the position in front of the Demon King's Box.

At the same time, Guard Captain Eckert and everyone in the square also turned their attention to Yu Zhou.

Including the anxious king on the city wall, but he could only sit on the throne and wait for the brave man.

They are all looking forward to the son of prophecy, the brave man who can lead the kingdom out of the shadow of the devil!
Under so much attention.

Yu Zhou walked to the Demon King's Box.

In his mind, he already had preliminary guesses about the various ways to clear this dungeon.

"If you pass the level normally, you should use the unsealing method to remove the entire seal."

This is not easy. Even the Pope himself, who is so powerful, was injured like that.

What strength do you have now?
If you don't have the master key in hand, it may be difficult to even pass the level.

As for how to pass the level perfectly.

Yu Zhou guessed that it must be related to the soul of Princess Lise.

"Unlock the seal without sacrificing the last bit of Princess Lise's soul power?"

Yu Zhou guessed.

This guess is not groundless.

Because, judging from what Princess Lisse said to him when he transcended the boundaries and unlocked the seal in advance, Princess Lise's soul still needs to tell the brave that another part of her soul is under the Mountain of the End, sealing it. The great devil Yalong.

This leads to the main mission of this fantasy world: defeat the big devil and rescue the princess’s soul.

Therefore, the perfect ending should be to rely on one's own strength to unseal the fourth layer of seal without consuming Princess Lisse's soul power.

In this way, Princess Lise's soul can appear and tell the world about the great devil.

Thinking about it, Yu Zhou no longer hesitated and put his hand directly on the Demon King's Box.

He did not take out the master key directly.

"Try this method of unblocking first."

When Yu Zhou was learning the method of unblocking from the Pope, he felt it was extremely mysterious and wanted to try it.

Since Yu Zhou learned to control his own spiritual power, this was the first time he saw that spiritual power could be manipulated to make such fine movements.

If I can recreate it, even if I just break the first layer of seal, I should be able to improve my understanding of controlling spiritual power to a higher level!

Therefore, Yu Zhou planned to give it a try.

If that doesn't work, it's not too late to use the master key.

Thinking about it, Yu Zhou's hand touched the Demon King's Box.

In an instant, the world in front of him became gray again.

The sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling suddenly started.

Countless phantoms of resentful spirits surged up, carrying a strong ominous aura, and attacked Yu Zhou crazily.

Although they could not attack Yu Zhou's body, they consumed Yu Zhou's spiritual energy bit by bit. At the same time, their noise also made it difficult for Yu Zhou to concentrate.

I'm afraid, the main difficulty of this copy lies in these resentful spirits, right?
After all, once the mind is disturbed, it will be difficult to control spiritual power and perform precise operations.

Yu Zhou was also bothered by them.

He couldn't help but whisper: "It's so noisy!"

This statement came out.

The next second, the ferocious expressions of all the phantoms of the resentful spirits suddenly froze.

The surroundings instantly became quiet.
