In the entire fire prevention sacrificial site, Zhang Yi saw a total of three people so far.
A mysterious girl with an eye patch next to an extinguished fire at the sacrificial site.
There was a little old man sitting on the throne, and a man squatting on the stone steps next to him carrying a sword and shield.
Of course, Zhang Yi directly talked to the girl in the middle first.
It's not because the other party is a female NPC, and it's not because the other party has a good figure. Even if she wears a blindfold, she can imagine the face behind her.
It's just because this NPC is the NPC that appears in the promotional trailer, that's all!
'Welcome to the campfire. Lord Yu Hui without fire, I am the fire-proof woman who specializes in maintaining campfires and serving you. If you need help in order to find the kings who abandoned their thrones, please feel free to ask me. '
The words were very tempting, but after reading the interface after the conversation, Zhang Yi basically understood.
This thing is a tool that allows players to upgrade and add points.
After a brief conversation, killing Ash Guda gave me a total of 3,000 souls, including the souls obtained from killing mobs on the way.
It can be upgraded to three levels in total. Zhang Yi thought about it and clicked on all the blood points.
Although the energy bar is also very important, he feels that the blood volume is still very critical in the early stage of the game, at least to increase a little fault tolerance.
After wandering around the fire prevention sacrificial site for a while, what caught Zhang Yi's attention was the little old man sitting on the throne.
After talking with him, we found out that his name was Ludos and he was actually a salary king.
The empty thrones next to them are the thrones of the former King Xin.
In addition, during the conversation, he also learned an important clue, that is, if he wants the flame to continue, he must burn himself.
"No wonder the other four thrones are empty. This Xinwang is really just burning his own firewood!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, I almost have an understanding of the main storyline of the game.
According to the keywords given in the previous promotional trailer, the protagonist in the game is unburnable garbage and should not be leftover!
The world is about to perish and fall into darkness. If you want to continue, you need to burn flames, and the flames have to be used as firewood by the King of Fire. This is their fate.
But obviously no one wanted to be used as firewood, so the salary kings ran away one after another. Only the little old man Ludos sat here and was burned for some reason.
The protagonist's task is to capture the four remaining firewood back here and continue burning them.
This is the plot of Dark Souls that Zhang Yi has learned so far. As for whether there will be any twists and turns later, Zhang Yi doesn’t know yet.
Next, when you come to a corner of the stairs, talk to the man sitting there with his sword and armor on his back, his head hanging down.
'...Oh, you are also a guy who can't die, right? '
'You and I are of the same kind. We can achieve nothing without the ashes of fire, and we are still half-baked and can't even die. '
'... It's so ridiculous that a group of guys who can't die are actually looking for King Xin and want to bring them back to the moldy throne? '
'Those people are the heroes who spread the fire! How can waste like us do this? '
'You think so too, right? '
[Posture: Frustrated]
After the conversation, Zhang Yi also learned a new gesture of frustration.
But what is this full of negative energy
Is the purpose of this NPC's existence just to spread discouraging and negative news
He walked around the sacrificial site a few more times, where he also found a blacksmith and an old woman selling things.
The blacksmith can strengthen weapons and distribute element bottles.
To focus on the pulsation of the blue bar, Zhang Yi directly replaced it with the blood-increasing fruit orange, so the original three bottles of fruit orange became four bottles.
As for the weapon, it requires two stone fragments. Currently, Zhang Yi only has one, so it cannot be strengthened yet.
There seemed to be a way up to the top of the building, but unfortunately the door was locked and he didn't have the key.
However, outside the sacrificial site, Zhang Yi found a path besides the motionless living corpses sitting on the ground.
But there was a ragged NPC holding a knife at the door.
"What a handsome swordsman! I wonder if this weapon can be exploded after killing this monster? Is this the monster that gives away weapons? After all, it's impossible for this game to let you use this knight sword to conquer the world, right?" Wang Han next to him reminded.
Although I picked up a broken long sword on the path of the sacrificial site before, judging from its properties, it was not as good as the chicken drumstick in the hand of a useless person.
"Don't tell me, it's very possible!" Zhang Yi was not only moved, but also took action.
According to general ARPG games, the initial equipment that a player brings when he is born is usually obtained by killing a BOSS after leaving the novice village.
I killed Ash Guda before and gave him a spiral sword, but that thing was a prop, equivalent to a coordinate transfer point.
And this knife-fighting guy placed in the corner may obviously be the NPC who provides equipment.
Or maybe the small room he is guarding behind contains new equipment for players.
Looking at the knife-fighting brother in front of him, Zhang Yi bravely rushed forward.
'Uh! '
The painful whine of the game character 'aaa' came from the headphones, and the health bar was as if it was made of tofu after Iai slashed three times in a row.
Instant kill!
"How can this be more powerful than Ash Guda!" Zhang Yi was shocked.
You know, he is a knight now!
He's wearing armor!
Although Guda slashed him three or four times, Guda's movements were still relatively slow.
Even if it keeps rolling, the most it can do is get one stab.
But the knife-fighting guy in front of him could not even react with a set of Iai's consecutive slashes, so he immediately emptied his health bar.
Zhang Yi said nothing as he watched his character resurrect at the newly lit bonfire at the Fire Sacrifice.
Wang Han next to him said after a brief silence: "Let's push the plot. This monster may be an elite monster like the crystallized lizard. It is difficult to defeat. The main plot behind it may be a chore."
Really
If he hadn't been taught by Crystal Lizard and Da Dao Brother, then Zhang Yi would definitely believe it and be full of confidence.
but now
He was a little skeptical.
Through the bonfire of the Fire Sacrifice, Zhang Yi teleported to the scene of the subsequent plot: Lothric High Wall.
After opening the door, Zhang Yi and Wang Han, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the sight of Lothric.
In fact, I have already seen the original concept painting and previous promotional conferences.
But it's a different feeling to actually control the character and watch it.
In the hazy gray mist in the distance, the magnificent royal city can be vaguely seen.
Quite grand.
But after a brief moment of exclamation, Zhang Yi felt a little excited.
Because until now, he has not discovered the so-called map.
If you don’t know this game, there is no map setting at all, right
After lighting the bonfire at the door with some apprehension, Zhang Yi began to explore the high wall of Lothric.
