Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 506 I defeated the first BOSS. Limb graft or full moon? Starshatter Ratan!
General "Starbreaker" Latan, leader of the Red Lion Army, is proficient in both martial arts and magic, and is known as the strongest demigod.

However, during the Shattering War, Latan fought to a draw with another demigod, Marenia, commonly known as the Valkyrie.

At the end of that battle, Marennia released the power of the Outer Gods that resided in her body, causing a horrific scarlet corruption to erupt, ultimately turning the battlefield of Galide into a Jedi, and both she and Latan were injured.

Since then, the Red Lion Army has stayed in Gaelid, fighting against the Crimson Corruption far away from home. And the Starbreaker General Latan, who is known as the strongest demigod, has become insane due to the erosion of the Crimson Corruption and has been wandering on the original battlefield.

Jellian is a guest general of the Red Lion Army. He cannot bear to see Latan living like a wild dog that has lost its mind, so he sends out an invitation and gathers the most outstanding heroes in the border area, hoping that General Latan can die in a glorious battle.

This is what is called a battle festival.

Ratan is a mid-term boss in the game, and you can't challenge him right from the start. You need to meet the prerequisites. He is very powerful in both performance and setting, so after confirming that Greg was still alive, Li You didn't think that Ratan would have been defeated.

What, you're speedrunning here? You killed Ratan by jumping off a cliff in the first ten minutes? You broke the star for the first boss, right?
Melina would be stunned when she saw it.

Li You couldn't help but ask Jie Lian: "When did the battle festival end? Who were the participants?"

"It's been half a month." Jie Lian replied, "As for the participants, they are naturally all the brave men in this land who are eager for the honor of a warrior."

He treated Li You with a certain degree of respect, but he was not afraid of him either, so he looked like he didn't want to say much. In contrast, Jie Lian was more concerned about his own goal.

"I just heard that you are here to look for that witch as well? Are you involved with her?" Jie Lian's expression was covered by the mask, but his eyes were still serious. "I advise you not to get involved with her."

"She is the 'Magic Cube Witch', obsessed with the origin theory, and has cruelly attacked countless magicians. She is the most troublesome disaster in the history of the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic. No matter what she says, you'd better not listen to her."

Aiji and the others looked at Li You, and Li You hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I'm actually here to look for someone else who might be related to her."

Jie Lian: “…Oh?”

Patch on the side spoke up: "Hey, let me tell you, this old man is looking for a blonde girl who can use magic and wears strange clothes. Old man, I remember that among the people who came to participate in the battle festival at the venue at that time, wasn't there such a girl?"

Jie Lian glanced at Patch, then looked at Li You a few more times: "What is your relationship with her?"

Li You frowned slightly, but still said, "I am her master."

"Really..." Jie Lian seemed to be thinking about something. "I'm sorry, I won't tell you any information about her. We'll say goodbye now. I hope you won't stand in my way when we meet again."

Having said that, Jie Lian turned around and was about to leave.

"You can't go!"

Unexpectedly, it was Patch who spoke up. He shouted to Jerry: "You still owe me the information fee! Take this information in exchange!"

After he said this, Jie Lian and Li You looked at him in surprise.

Jie Lian thought about it briefly and said, "...Since you intend to use my favor here, I have nothing to say. Just do as you wish."

He turned to Li You and said, "You want to know about Li You, right?"

Li You: “………Ah, yes, yes, yes.”

Be patient for now and keep this grudge in mind.

"From what I know, she is an excellent magician who is proficient in night magic and has mastered many pyroxene spells. In the battle festival, her magic was the key to defeating General Latan, so in the end the general's Great Rune also belonged to her."

Jellian narrated slowly: "However, her magic also led to... No, I can't tell you more. In short, after the battle festival, she seemed to have headed north, looking for a way to reach the northern part of the Yatan Plateau. That's all I know and can say."

He looked at Patch again and said, "We are clear now." Then he turned and left.

This time no one stopped him. Li You was still standing there thinking. Since he had no intention of keeping anyone, Yuzu and Patch would naturally not do anything unnecessary.

"She was the main force that defeated Latan? She got the Great Rune? She is going to the north of the Yatan Plateau?" Although Jie Lian's words were brief, they contained a lot of information. Li You couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Kara is already so strong that she can play a key role in the battle against Latan? Although Latan is now in a state of insanity and corroded by scarlet corruption, he is definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with.

On the other hand, what is the thing that Jerryen is hesitant to talk about? What is Kara going to do in the north?
"Further north of the Yatan Plateau... snow-capped mountains? Holy trees?"

These two locations are maps in the late stage of the game, and they also have strict restrictions. Li You couldn't quite understand why and how Kara wanted to get there.

After thinking for a moment, he realized something and waved his hand: "Let's go to the ruins below!"

The group rushed to the ruins here. The puppet soldiers guarding inside and outside the ruins had been chopped into pieces by Jie Lian, leaving only debris on the ground. They therefore entered the basement smoothly.

In the basement here, Jie Lian was leaning on his sword, looking at a prisoner locked in the corner, silent.

The prisoner was wearing a dark blue robe and a witch's chalice headdress. Her hands were sealed by magic crystals and pierced by a dagger, nailed to the wall. Her head was hanging down, and there was a horrible wound on her chest, and the blood was not even dry.

Youzi and the others recognized that the prisoner in front of them was Se Lian whom they had seen before, and they couldn't help but look at Li You.

Li Youze had expected this: "...Is that really the case?"

Jie Lian also looked at him after hearing this: "Do you know her situation?"

Li You's face turned serious: "I'm sorry, I have no comment on this matter!"

Jie Lian: “…”

"Hmph, no matter what, the body of the witch Se Lian is dead, but I can't sense the breath of the soul from this corpse. I'm afraid her core is still there, and she will appear again one day... In this case, then I can't delay any longer. I will go find her right now. I will show no mercy to anyone who stands in my way!"

As he spoke, he drew his sword and walked out of the basement without stopping.

Li You turned his head to look at his back, his hand already stroking the hilt of the knife at his waist. Although Jie Lian seemed free and easy, he was actually holding his flame-shaped sword tightly.

But in the end, Li You did not take any action, allowing Jie Lian to walk out of the basement in silence.

Seeing him leave, Edge and V finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Li You shook his head slightly: "It's a bit complicated to explain. In short, this Jie Lian is likely to be in a hostile state with Kara."

Jie Lian's attitude was very strange. Not only did he keep his distance from strangers, but Li You could also sense a hint of hostility from him.

This also reminded him of something. Jeremiah was originally a wandering knight. Before joining the Red Lion Army, he had also been a guest at the Kalia royal family, which was famous for its magic, and had a good relationship with them as well.

This is also the reason why he wants to hunt down Se Lian. The theory of the origin of pyroxene magic that Teacher Se Lian has been studying with perseverance is not tolerated by the royal family of Kalia. They regard each other as heretics, so only one side can survive.

In the game, the end of Jie Lian's story line is that he finds the trace of the witch Se Lian and plans to kill her. Players can choose to help him or teacher Se Lian.

In this world, judging from the message from Serlian found earlier and what Jielian just said about Kara's concealment, it is very likely that Kara has already confronted Jielian and chose to help the magic teacher Serlian. Therefore, after Jielian knew about Kara's relationship with Li You, he was unwilling to tell her about her situation.

Li You was not sure whether this guess was correct, but it was the most likely scenario. Jie Lian must have noticed something, so he was ready to fight to the death in the end...but Li You did not take action after all.

The reason was very simple. First, he was not sure that his guess was correct. Second, he admired Jie Lian and other members of the Red Lion Army.

The description of Jie Lian's items calls him a "free duckweed" who stayed in Red Lion City only because of friendship and promises. The Red Lion Army would rather die in a foreign land to fight against the scarlet corruption. They are all heroes.

Although there is not much portrayal of the Red Lion Army in the game, their image is very vivid. Li You is somewhat subjective and biased towards them and Jie Lian.

Of course, this is only limited to the situation where Jerry does not really pose a threat to Kara.

Li You turned his head again and looked at Patch: "Thank you very much for your help this time...but can I ask why?"

Patch chuckled and said, "Who knows? But as for me, I really think you are attractive to me, so I want to help you."

"Ah, of course it's not free. I used up Jerry's favor, so I'll use your favor in exchange. If I need your help in the future, you can't refuse!"

Li You also smiled and said without hesitation: "Okay, it's a deal."

Now Patch was satisfied. He touched his bald head, smiled happily, and muttered something like "made a profit".

But V suddenly asked him: "I heard you just say that you also participated in the battle festival?"

After hearing this, Patch straightened his chest and said, "Yes! How can I, Uncle Patch, be absent in such an occasion?"

"Then why are you still asking Jerry? Don't you know the situation at that time?" V's words made Patch stuck.

He hesitated for a few words: "This, that..."

Edge guessed something: "Is there any need to ask? He must have turned around and ran away as soon as he arrived at the scene and saw the enemy!"

Patch's eyes widened: "How can you slander someone's innocence like this..."

"What innocence? Even though I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can imagine that there is no way you would be willing to fight a demigod. You must have run away!" V immediately added the knife.

Patch's face flushed, veins bulging on his bald head, and he argued, "That's called a tactical retreat! He's the most powerful demigod, and my life is so valuable. Can a tactical retreat be considered running away?"

Seeing that they were about to enter the part where everyone burst into laughter and the basement was filled with a happy atmosphere, Li You suppressed his laughter and interrupted: "Okay, okay, don't say anymore. After all, he just helped us...hahaha!"

Patch: “…”

"Ahem..." Li You, who had received professional training, finally controlled his emotions. "In that case, my business here is over, so let's say goodbye now."

Having said that, he was about to leave with Yuzu and the others.

"You can't leave!" Patch suddenly shouted again.

Li You: "?"

"...Well, the way back is quite complicated. I think I should go with you guys, so that you don't get lost." Facing Li You's eyes, Patch rubbed his hands and smiled.

Li You: 6.

So you're just afraid that something might happen if you go back alone?

"Okay." He didn't say much. After all, Patch had just helped him.

The Wandering Temple in the distance is still wandering aimlessly. From the ruins here, you can still see headless soldiers in spirit form patrolling at its feet.

Li You really has no use for the Wandering Spirit Temple now. It is used to copy the memories of the boss in the game, which is equivalent to the boss soul in Dark Souls. He has not defeated any boss now, so naturally there is no memory to copy.

So the group went back along the way, braving the heavy rain that never stopped, crossed the foothills of the Weeping Peninsula, and returned to the vicinity of the bridge.

"Alright, alright, that's all." Patch raised his hand to block the light, looked at Nimgfu in the distance, and said, "Then I'll go back to business. I'll have someone send you the information you want. Remember to come and take care of my business when you're free, hehe!"

Li You waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem.

Just as Patch was about to leave, a somewhat weak voice suddenly came from the side of the avenue: "Excuse me...is there anyone over there? If so, please, can you listen to me?"

Li You turned his head and saw a young woman wearing a blood-stained long skirt and a blindfold on her head sitting by the road, calling out from afar.

Patch, who hadn't walked far yet, quickened his pace on the spot, his face full of fear of trouble.

Li You responded to her and asked, "What happened?"

The girl's face lit up with joy: "You're there! That's great."

"My name is Irena. I escaped from the southern city of Morn. The servants in the city rebelled, and Morn has now become a battlefield..."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up, and Patch popped out again with his big, reflective head: "Moen City is in rebellion? Doesn't that mean there's business... No, that's too pitiful!"

Irena didn't react yet, and after a pause she said, "Ah, thank you for your kindness. But it's okay for me, the main thing is my father."

"My father was the lord of Moren City. He let me escape... but he stayed in the city, believing that it was the duty of the person in power.

"So I want to ask you, can you give this letter to my father who is still in the city? Even if I will be labeled a coward who abandoned the city, I want my father to leave that city... I want my father to survive."

Before Li You could say anything, Patch had already taken the letter and patted his chest and said, "No problem! Leave it to me, I...we will definitely deliver the letter!"

Irena was filled with gratitude: "Thank you. Please be careful on your journey! Those rebellious hybrids are very dangerous."

Patch smiled: "Don't worry, I have plenty of capable fighters here..."

When he turned around, he saw that Li You and his four companions had already walked away.

Patch: “???”

"Where are you going!?"

Li You turned around and said, "Didn't you promise to help? I'll leave it to you now. You must fulfill this poor girl's request."

Patch: “?”

“No, wait!!”
