Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"Just as there are always homeless people in the world, there is also the magic of homelessness.

You are their home, but they are also you

If you want to build a home for them, they will respond

Before that, do you still remember?

Are their radiance merely a reminder of your journey to this place?"

“…Here you are.”

The riddle text appeared as usual, but it was one of the very few system tasks in the old world with clear hints.

"Do you want to start the 'Soul Weapon' series of quests?"

"Yes."

Following the player's wishes, this quest begins.

It is actually a promise to all homeless magic powers that they will be given a warm home.

The magic powers were extremely innocent. Just getting the promise from their master was enough to make them sparkle with happiness, which made Yu Man look like a dream.

"Don't worry." Yu Man would certainly fulfill his promise.

Soon, a "Soul Weapon" column was added to the system columns that players can operate.

After clicking in, Yu Man felt a little nostalgic because he had seen this original interface before.

The overflowing, homeless magic needs a place to rest.

Therefore, players can choose what materials to invest and what equipment parts to make.

Once the choice is made, the magic powers will receive orders and begin to do their best to realize this choice.

This process is not difficult.

But in Yuman's impression, there is a bit of metaphysics involved.

This is the only chance for players to craft finished equipment without commissioning a craftsman or working in a workshop. Furthermore, the "Soul Weapons" they create are growth-oriented equipment, eventually growing to their full rank.

But what determines their difference is the chance of winning during the manufacturing process.

Players can get a random additional skill.

By giving different "Soul Weapons" uniqueness, they can be used to change the player's combat structure, enrich and subvert skill combinations, and form their own unique combat style...

Therefore, it is very important to know what skills you can draw.

This is the metaphysics of it.

In the first round, when players want to obtain "Soul Weapons", they will find a Feng Shui treasure land, burn incense and bathe, do many good deeds, and accumulate luck.

For example, materials for crafting "Soul Weapons" must be obtained personally, rather than purchased from the trading house out of utilitarianism. Another example is the need to guide many newcomers to gain gratitude, saving lives in illegal areas - there are many other details like this.

Not only do they go to worship the gods of the old world, but many players also take their gaming equipment to temples for consecration. Not only domestic players, but also foreigners from various countries have their own specialties, exchanging metaphysics from various countries, just to extract the best skills.

"Sigh..." This was also what made Yu Man feel uneasy.

She wasn't very confident about her luck, especially now.

Because… in the midst of poverty and hunger, she met the fawn.

This probably has used up all my luck.

I had no choice but to go ahead and do it - and by the way, see if it was the same as what Senior Cat introduced.

……

Although I don’t have time to do good deeds or find a master to consecrate equipment, I can still find a Feng Shui treasure land.

Where is the best place to visit in Shimla Bakken? After much thought, there is only one place that I can think of.

Leaving the main city and the safe zone, Yu Man cautiously stepped into the illegal area.

She was confident in her skills, but even so, she had done enough concealment and preparation. Fortunately, her reputation was well-known enough that no one in the illegal area of ​​Shimla Bakken would try to touch her.

No, on the contrary, the illegal area is now quite harmonious and it seems that rules have been established.

Teams and players who enjoy fighting know each other, and with wins and losses, there's less hostility. As more people want to experience this all-lost PVP content, veteran players will share their knowledge, guide their mentality, and provide players with as fair a playing field as possible.

But what Yu Man didn’t know was that all these orders were established because of her.

When there are absolutely strong players in the illegal area, players will no longer seriously pursue dominance, but will become calm and enjoy the game content.

Yu Man was just cautious and came to a deeper place.

The Unfrozen Forest.

This deep and difficult place, surrounded by wild beasts, is where she dug out the fawn. It is a lucky place.

But that's not all - she walked to the center of the Unfrozen Forest as quietly as possible.

In this heart of the world, surrounded by blizzards and where no wild animals can survive, is the first stop of her and the deer's journey.

"Hello, Shimla Bakken."

Yu Man gently reached out and touched the trunk of the World Tree, which seemed to stand at the edge of the world. The crystal-clear, ultimate magical crystallization shocked and warmed her heart. It was the mother of this island, its protector and creator.

Shimlabakken sensed Yu Man's arrival—it seemed that he still remembered her.

Then, the gentle wind and snow lifted her feet and carried her towards the sky.

As if the white was fading from the world, she passed through the clouds unnoticed and before she knew it, she had the island in full view.

From white——to blue.

The sea and the sky, countless shades of blue.

Her eyes of the same color took in all the dazzling things and breathed in the scenery in the distant sky.

"--hello."

Although it was a little late, Miss Shimlabakken gently responded to Yu Man's greeting.

She connected Yu Man to her branch, the apex of the World Tree. And, just like last time, she appeared gently, a transparent figure that seemed to melt into the light and shadow, smiling faintly like a ghost.

"You are alone this time." Shimlabakken's voice was like the melting ice and snow in spring.

"The traveler still has her travels."

"No one has come to see me since you guys... I thought it would be lively."

"Then I am the honored one to be the first person to be alone with Miss World Tree."

She smiled shyly.

Yu Man responded with a bright smile, then sat on the edge of the branch as if he was at home, surrounded by endless light and azure blue.

Sea and sky.

This is not only her lucky place, but also a place that requires curiosity in order to advance the main storyline.

"Stranger, are you here for that branch?" Miss Shimlabakken asked tentatively, her introversion and implicit curiosity evident.

"No, I read your heart in your willingness to give it to me."

"That's good... as long as it's conveyed... then... what's the reason?"

"I want to see the scenery, I want to regain my luck here, and I also want to build a home for my homeless magicians in this beautiful place where you have shelter..." Yu Man paused, then continued, "Also, I want to ask you a question."

"So many requests?" World Tree was a little shaken. "How can I help?"

"Let's start with the question," Yu Man asked in a voice as gentle as the wind. "Is that Ice Prison Dragon named 'Winter Incarnation' your enemy?"

090·The fucking post is gone

In the first round, the island where Yu Man was born was very different from what it is today.

There is no snowfall, no frozen sea, just a very ordinary...island that is no different from reality, but it also hides many troubles.

Like all the players at that time, Yu Man was simply immersed in the excitement of the new world.

Relying on the sleep time stolen from the night, having endless dreams day and night, exploring the small story that belongs only to me.

Therefore, she had no time to pay attention to the stories of other islands.

She didn't know about Shimlabakken, or the Ice Prison Dragon...

In the middle and late stages, the worlds are connected, and the entire ocean is filled with ships and wars. Players are no longer so interested in the story of the small novice main city island.

The current difficulties in opening the port and the threat of the Ice Prison Dragon cannot be solved by cheating based on the experience gained in the first round.

If she were on her own, she would probably be happy to slowly take on these challenges, even if it meant that many of her business plans would come to nothing.

But now—it’s a little different.

In her home, there is a cat who wants to return to this world, and there is also a traveler who wants to set foot on the scenery beyond the sea.

and so--

"That dragon, like you, is a high-level incarnation of the ice element, and you're so close... Forgive me for presumptuously speculating on your relationship."

Yu Man's question to Miss World Tree showed that she was serious.

It is no longer about spending a leisurely day in Shimla Bakken based on the accumulation of the previous week, but about trying my best to solve this problem.

She knew that this world tree, which spread endless ice and snow on the world and created a snow island, was the key to this main quest.

"You mean... dragon?"

Miss World Tree was confused.

It took her a few seconds to understand and think - she tried to ask back.

"You mean..."

She pointed to the distant horizon, and beyond that, an unreachable island.

Rumana Seti - the beginning of day.

The forbidden zone of life where the Ice Prison Dragon lives.

"You mean the children who were born there?"

"…Children?"

Seeing Yu Man's confusion, Miss World Tree nodded slightly. She didn't think this was an unspeakable secret, so she tried her best to explain to Yu Man -

"That... is the dividing line between winter... and spring. Magic and the elements converge and intertwine there, giving rise to generations of special beings... Those are probably the dragons you mentioned."

"...It's actually like this." Yu Manjie was completely shocked.

"It was born not long ago, still a young child, ignorant and naive about the world. Everything it does is based on instinct... If... you want to ask about the frozen sea... it is indeed the child's instinct."

Just knowing this, Yu Man was already satisfied.

But more confusion followed.

In the World Tree's concept of time, the so-called "just born not long ago"...how long does it mean?

The World Tree has probably existed for an extremely long time. In its eyes, the changes or turmoil in the world are nothing more than a drop of ink in the long scroll of history. Compared with the vast history itself, a moment of time should be insignificant.

But this is not that important, Yu Man wants to advance the next plot step.

"I think opening the port for this island is not a bad thing for it, because the influx of people... will be greater than the outflow, and it won't be deserted."

"Um... then?"

"Perhaps, I can borrow your strength?"

"Whether they are residents of this world or strangers from outside, they are all just similar souls, changing names one after another, writing the same stories in a long, endless spiral of joys and sorrows."

Miss World Tree shook her head.

"If someone wants to travel far, I will offer my blessing. If someone wants to come here, I welcome them... anything is fine... I don't mind. But I have no reason to interfere with the child's behavior. It... is not my enemy."

Not only that, in the eyes of the World Tree, this is just—

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have even noticed this trivial thing."

As expected, a being as high-ranking as the World Tree was indeed unwilling to get involved in this matter.
