Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

If someone asks Li You what he learned from the Souls series, he will probably quote that sentence - if I encounter a strong enemy on the way forward, it means that the path I am taking is correct.

Of course, in the open world of the Ring of Magic, this sentence is not always applicable, so Li You may answer another point, that is, respect for teachers.

In the Souls series, the characters of "mentors" are basically positive images, from Logan and Crana in Souls 1, to Orbeck and Carula in Souls 3, and then to the two magic teachers in the Ring of Magic, they are basically like this, giving kind care to the protagonist.

Under the cruel worldview inherited from the ancestors of the Souls series, it is also a rare warmth to meet such a character. So generally speaking, even players who are born again will not do anything to the teachers. Similarly, Li You also respects the "mentor" role of the Souls series very much, and even has a bit of yearning.

And at this time, in the basement of the ruins of the Inn Street, there is one of the two magic teachers of the Ring of Magic... At least it should be so.

"Boom boom boom--"

The glazed fire spewed out from the wrist guard, burning the huge magic flower "Miranda Flower" entrenched in the ruins of the Post Station Street, making it tremble. Li You raised the spiral spear again, and the spear body ignited with flames, and pierced the roots of the Miranda Flower with force!

Miranda Flower is also a species unique to the border area. It is a flower that spews poisonous mist and is said to eat people. Even their seedlings have leaves and flowers that are nearly half a meter wide. If the adult petals are spread out, they are several meters wide.

However, no matter how strange they are, they are just plants after all. Li You now has several different kinds of flames. The only headache for dealing with Miranda Flowers is which flame to use to burn them to ashes.

The big Miranda Flower blocking the entrance to the basement was burned out by Li You in one breath, and the small plants around it could not even withstand the aftermath of the flames, and were also ignited and burned.

The entrance to the basement was opened.

"You know all about this kind of basement?" V looked at the narrow stairs going down and complained, "So why are you so skilled in every world?"

Li You answered casually: "Don't underestimate my intelligence network... I forgot what happened later. Anyway, you can simply understand that I did enough intelligence work before arriving in the new world."

In this basement, there should have been a fog door, behind which was a mad pumpkin-headed soldier. Only after defeating him could you see the magic teacher hiding here.

However, just like before, the basement here is now empty and unattended, with only a lonely blessing emitting a faint light.

Lifting the iron door at the end of the basement, the small room inside was arranged as a library. A large number of books were placed on the old wooden tables and bookshelves, and the light of the candlesticks and large crystal-like stones emitting light blue light illuminated the room.

This place does look like a "study" similar to Teacher Obeck. Li You can even smell the strong magic smell remaining in the air, which is higher than other places around.

But the problem is that there is still no one here. The magic teacher who was supposed to be here, "Magic Cube Witch" Se Lian, is nowhere to be seen.

Not to mention Edge and V, even Yuzu could see that Li You obviously didn't find the target again, and couldn't help but look at him. However, this time Li You's expression did not change much, but looked like he had expected it.

He turned around in the small room and first picked up a large piece of light blue stone and took a look.

This thing is "pyroxene", which is said to be a fragment of a star and is the source and catalyst of many magics in the world view of the magic ring. Just like the soul magic of the dark soul, many magics here are classified as "pyroxene magic".

Li You tried to sense the magic power in the pyroxene and found that although this piece of pyroxene is large in size, the magic power inside is very scarce.

But this was just a handy thing. He put it down immediately and searched on the table for a while.

Yuzu and the others didn't quite understand what Li You was looking for, but soon, Li You took out something from a wooden box on the table that startled the three of them.

It was a half-covered gas mask, which looked very old and stained with a lot of stains. There was even a conspicuous cut wound on the side. The wound basically penetrated the mask, and its original function was naturally completely lost.

At this moment, Li You's face finally changed a little.

"This is..." Even V, who had never seen this mask, could infer its owner through basic logic. As for Yuzu and Aggie, they remembered it very clearly. This was the mask that Kara often used.

I don't know if it was because she got used to it in the USS army in her early years or why, Kara always showed herself with a mask, even in front of Li You. So it's interesting that Li has never seen the true face of his eldest apprentice.

But no one would doubt their relationship. For Li You, apprentices are not accepted randomly.

So Yuzu and the others can also understand why Li You looked unhappy. If the gas mask was broken like this, what about Kara herself?

Fortunately, Li You has always been able to stay rational at important moments. Kara is not dead, this has been confirmed. So under this premise, even if she is seriously injured, Li You is now fully confident that he can rescue her, and the incident like Annie Birkin in the past will never happen again.

So the key is to find her.

Li You put away the damaged gas mask and calmed down: "Don't worry about it, she must be alive, we just need to find her."

Other people naturally wouldn't dwell on this issue, V asked directly: "Then what should we do next?"

"According to my original plan, we will go back... um?" Li You was talking, and suddenly he noticed something, rummaged through the wooden box on the table, and took out an envelope with a wax seal. There was nothing written on the envelope, but Li You sensed a faint fluctuation of magic in it.

He hesitated for only a moment, and then opened the envelope in two moves.

I haven't seen Teacher Se Lian write letters to people in the game, and there is a high probability that this letter was left by Kara. Even if he made a mistake, with the relationship between Teacher Se Lian and himself, reading a letter must not be a big problem.

We are who we are!

After opening the envelope, Li You immediately felt a weak flow of magic, and the magic touched his hand, and then a magic emblem began to appear on the letter paper.

Then, the magic emblem actually emitted light, projecting a clear figure in front of Li You.

Li You: "!!"

The figure was wearing a dark blue magician's robe, with a huge stone hood on his head. The hood was engraved with a female face and a green pyroxene on the top of his head.

Li You certainly knew it. This was the image of the magic teacher Se Lian.

Se Lian's magic projection did not move, but just maintained a posture of holding his chin with one hand, but a female voice sounded: "Are you her master?"

Everyone looked at Se Lian's projection.

"Well, you don't have to answer. After all, I can't hear it. This is just a magic image." Se Lian continued, "It can activate the magic power left on the letter. It should be correct. Then I have something to tell you."

"Don't come to her again, or you will die."

Li You: "???"

Ah?

What's going on?

Is this a declaration of sovereignty?

What's the matter? My apprentice was robbed by my teacher? And he left a letter to threaten me?

Li You had a very strange expression. He stared at Se Lian's motionless magic projection for a long time, thinking in his heart.

Well, he didn't think about anything else. He was just thinking about whether to find Teacher Se Lian's real body and greet him cordially... respecting teachers.

Of course, he would definitely not do anything radical.

"The Weeping Peninsula is very close to here. Even if this world is much larger than the game map, if I am in the transformed state, I can quickly reach the ruins over there..."

Li You has already started calculating the round-trip time, and he is very much planning to take action immediately.

But at this moment, Se Lian's image flickered, and the message that was thought to have ended had a follow-up: "... Unless you have enough confidence in your own strength and are not afraid of life and death, then go north. Maybe then, your paths will cross again."

After saying this, Teacher Se Lian's image faded, and the letter paper originally engraved with the magic emblem disappeared by itself, turning into a little crystal blue light and drifting away.

Li You was startled again.

It seems that it was not Se Lian who stole his apprentice...

He fell into deep thought for a moment.

"So, what is going on?" V was the last one to break the silence. She looked at Li You and asked, "Do you want to explain? Start from the earliest place."

Li You came back to his senses and did not pretend to be dumb. He explained briefly.

He had indeed guessed where Kara might go. Many details he saw all the way out of the Drifting Cave actually told him that someone had walked this road before.

If we temporarily exclude the possibility that there is another "protagonist" Fader, then Li You boldly guessed that the person who walked here before him was probably Kara.

In this case, follow the magician's opening route, which will probably overlap with Kara's trajectory, so Li You quickly came to the ruins of Post Street to find the first and most important magic teacher in the game, Se Lian.     However, Se Lian was not there, which still surprised him. Could it be that Kara's "main line" progress was so fast?

But in the end, he didn't know how long it had been since Kara came to this world. After all, the speed of time in each world is different, so this is not unacceptable.

However, the final discovery still made Li You feel difficult to understand.

Why, as long as it is the game world of Miyazaki, the people in it all speak in the same style as him, right?

Why would someone die if he explained a few more sentences?

But in short, now he has more or less got some clues about Kara, and it is better to plan for the next action.

Li You put the empty envelope back on the table, finished the explanation, and then said: "Now, let's find someone to confirm, and we will know what specific preparations to make later."

The group then left the ruins of Post Street, and this time they returned along the road and came to the Aire Church again.

When they walked into the ruins aggressively, Santa Claus Curry on the side was startled and almost rode his donkey to escape. But fortunately, he saw Li You walking in front clearly, and then he calmed down.

"Ah, it's you... You scared me." Kale looked at Li You, "Are you here to buy something? Who are these people?"

"They are my companions." Li You said simply, and then said, "I am indeed here to trade, but I have something to ask you."

"Have you seen a blonde woman with strange clothes here? She may be wearing half a black mask, or she may not, and she can use magic."

Gale was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Guest, do you... know that person?"

Li You's eyes lit up: "Have you really seen her?"

He saw the hesitation in Caleb's eyes, and said: "Don't worry, she and I are companions, and I came here specifically to find her. Since you have met her, can you tell me when and how we met her? ?”

Gale looked at Li You carefully and seemed to confirm that he was not lying. Then he sighed and said, "Since you know her, I can tell you. But my information may not be very useful to you." It’s very useful, after all, it happened a long time ago, and I only met her by chance.”

He didn't deliberately show off, and then told the story: "I do know the guest named Li You. She and I were..."

Li You: "?"

Yuzi and three others: "?"

"...Wait a minute?" Mr. Li almost thought he heard wrongly and couldn't help but interrupt, "What did you say her name was?"

Gale didn't understand: "Her name is... Li You? Although it is a relatively rare name in this land, it is not that strange, right? Isn't this the one you are looking for?"

Li You: "......"

She hasn’t forgotten this setting yet! ? Are you addicted to pretending to be a master?

Li You's expression became extremely exciting for a moment, but he could only hold back and nodded: "...Yes, she is the one I am looking for. You continue."

Aiji and V in the back looked calm on the surface, but in fact they were laughing together in the spiritual link. Even Yuzi found this very interesting.

Of course, they didn't block Li You when they laughed.

Li You: "......"

That traitor!

Of course, Gale didn't know what happened in Li You's private chat channel. He explained how he met Kara in neither fast nor slow, but very simple language.

"...I just wandered around here. I was originally looking for news about our family's large caravan, but I didn't expect to encounter a group of bandits.

"Those vicious guys wanted to steal my goods and my donkey. I couldn't hide or run away from them. I had no way out. Thanks to the sudden appearance of Miss Li You, Just help me..."

Li You: "......"

No, he is really going to live in Bengbu. Not to mention him as the client, even Aiji and V beside him could not control the expressions on their faces.

Fortunately, Caleb quickly finished explaining the cause and effect. In fact, it was Carla who helped him when he encountered the bandit group and helped him come to this Airey church to shelter from the wind and rain.

After that, she came back several times and communicated with Gale, mainly to get information about the world from him - of course she paid Rune as a consulting fee.

"She seems to really know nothing about the border, so I'm also curious as to why she came to this land."

"...In addition, I also introduced other friends to her, but they didn't seem to get along very well afterwards." Gale kept adding details about his meeting with Kara.

Based on Gallie's description of Kara's appearance, Li You speculated that she who initially helped her was also new to the border area, because Gallie said that not only was she wearing a mask, but she was also wearing the same combat uniform as Aggie.

"...That's probably it. Oh, by the way, I met her once by chance later. She seemed to be in a bad mood that time, so I suggested that she try Torina Water Lily, and there was really nothing else." Gallie Finally said.

Li You calmed down, thanked him, and then asked: "There is a very crucial thing. When was the first time you saw Ka... and Li You?"

Gale recalled: "Well, that's probably..."

——Not long after.

Li You sat on the top of the huge and nearly broken ancient ruins in the south of Yakir Lake, looking at the golden tree that was clearly far away but still occupying most of his field of vision, thinking quietly about something.

Underneath the ancient ruins, Aggie and V were also discussing softly.

"It turns out that it has been a year since that person came to this world... Although I don't want to say it, this world seems to be quite dangerous, right?"

V asked, "When I passed by the shallow lake just now, I found that the trees and stones in the lake all had large burn marks. This is not what ordinary beasts can do."

Aiji said: "Actually, in comparison, the time passed by us is about the same, but it is true that this world is very dangerous, I can feel it."

"But judging from the reaction of the messenger, at least Kara is still alive. All we have to do is find her."

The two of them were discussing business here, while Yuzi was on the edge of the cliff, observing a stream of soul air rising into the sky.

The soul air flow seemed to be spiraling upward, but Yuzi tried to throw down weeds, branches, and even big bats, but they all fell down without exception.

"This is so strange."

At this time, Li You, who was sitting on top of the ancient ruins, finally ended his thinking and jumped down from above: "Long wait."

Aggie and V looked at him: "Do you have a plan?"

Li You replied: "There are no other clues now. I can only go north based on Se Lian's message. But before that, I plan to go south first to confirm some things."

"You have the final say." Aiji never said anything about Li You's arrangements. As for V, she seemed to be very interested in Kara too.

"Okay, let's take a rest here today and set off tomorrow morning." Li You decided.

It was almost noon when they arrived at the border. After a lot of trouble, it was already evening. Li You did not plan to move at night.

And the place where they were was actually the place where another NPC in the game, "Blood Finger Hunter" Yura, first camped. But just like the previous practice, Yura was not here, and Li You was almost used to it.

The night fell quickly, and Yuzi and others rested by the fire below the ruins. Li You was in charge of keeping watch. He sat on the edge of the ruins and looked at the sea in the distance.

The border in the game is surrounded by the sea, and it looks like an island as a whole, but the border in this world should barely be considered a continent.

Li You also looked a little sleepy, his head sank, and he seemed to be taking a nap. In the night, a pair of eyes stared at them.

In the bushes in the distance, a bald head who was also very conspicuous in the moonlight was hiding, stroking his chin with one hand, looking at the "dozing" Li You, thinking.

"It looks like a great opportunity...but why do I always have a bad feeling?"
