From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

An adventurer outside said.

"Boss Higanbana, don't waste your energy. We've already tried. This weirdo is truly unkillable!"

"The Time Traveler Boss is very interested in the Immortal Hanbei. He has learned about his past through a series of investigations."

Hear this.

Not only the red spider lily is curious.

Other adventurers outside also became interested.

The adventurer then introduced the story he had just heard:

"According to the Traveler Boss's investigation."

"Fushi Hanbei was originally a poor man from other parts of Japan."

"I came to Ashina to escape war and famine, and when I was starving to death, I met a passing monk."

"The monk felt sorry for him and saw that he had a strong desire to live, so he placed a strange insect into his body. As a result, something strange happened, and Hanbei gained the powerful ability of immortality."

"Hanbei, with his immortal body, was able to hone his skills and become a wandering samurai. Later, he met the chief general of the Imperial Household, Tamura Yoshifumi."

"Yes, that's right. It's the opening scene, the one who challenged Ashina Yixin in a one-on-one duel with Tamura Zenfumi."

"Tamura Yoshifumi discovered Hanbei's abilities and greatly admired them. He not only treated him well but also trained him to become his personal guard."

"This deeply moved Hanbei, who had been wandering for half his life, and he vowed to become a true samurai."

"..."

"Everyone knows what happened next."

"Tamura Yoshifumi was killed by the sword master Ashina Isshin during the war."

"According to the customs of Japan, if a master is killed, a Hanbei who serves as a personal guard should commit seppuku to defend his honor and his oath. However, this is impossible for Hanbei."

"He then challenged Ashina Isshin, and the result was predictable: he was split in half. However, he survived, and after a few days, his body healed and came back to life."

"..."

"After this."

"The immortal Hanbei is wandering again."

"His immortality became a more complete curse. He was often coveted by forces that coveted immortality, and it also implicated those around him, leading to tragedy. All of his friends and loved ones died because of him."

"so."

"At this moment, the immortal Hanbei is alone."

"In order to no longer implicate others, I came to this dilapidated temple to live in seclusion, wholeheartedly seeking a way to die."

"..."

While learning about Hanbei's story, Higanbana also fought and killed him again and again, but the results were undoubtedly ineffective. This guy really is completely immortal!

The adventurers were also talking about it.

"It's so amazing!"

"A strange insect can make people immortal?"

"Where did the mysterious monk come from?"

"Is there any way we can find these monks?"

"How many mysteries and strangeness does this land still hide?"

"The world of Ashina is definitely not simple!"

"..."

Higanbana's curiosity about the immortal Hanbei gradually turned into sympathy, because the immortality pursued by countless great people in this world has become an eternal torture and curse for this person.

He wanted to follow Tamura and defend the honor and dignity of the samurai.

He wants to be with his lover and friends.

Death is definitely a relief!

"I'm sorry, but I can't kill you right now!"

The red spider lily couldn't help feeling sad.

The immortal Hanbei said calmly, "I've long been accustomed to it... If you need to test your sword in the future, please feel free to come to me... This is the only value of this body..."

It’s not that this person cannot feel pain, perhaps it’s just that pain can temporarily relieve his guilt.

The red spider lily sighed endlessly.

The exploration of Ashina Province has not yet begun.

An insignificant little person hides so many stories and tragic pasts.

This made the adventurers sigh and once again deeply feel the flesh and blood of the secret world, making them more curious about the story and various secrets of the entire Ashina country.

There is no time to waste!

Higanbana said goodbye to the immortal Hanbei.

She made up her mind secretly.

If I can really find a way to destroy the immortality, I must come back to help the immortal Hanbei be liberated!

Higanbana is definitely not the only adventurer who has this idea. Even if you don't know Hanbei's story, just witnessing his almost abnormal immortality is enough to give adventurers strong motivation and drive.

why?

Because of the spirit!

The first adventurer to kill the undead Hanbei has a higher chance of obtaining a named spirit.

This is a named soul that has the potential to grant people immortality!

Although the spirit's abilities may be modified due to the laws of the world after emerging from the secret realm, it will still be a very precious, even priceless spirit that is definitely worth fighting for!

however.

How to completely eliminate immortality.

The adventurers have no idea about this.

After leaving the dilapidated temple.

Higanbana began to move using the ninja prosthetic arm.

With the help of the ninja hook rope that she could use freely and at will, she finally got her wish and experienced the thrill of climbing walls and flying around.

“So cool and free!”

“This feeling is so satisfying!”

"..."

Higanbana soon discovered the Ashina soldiers, who were difficult to communicate with. They were hostile to all invaders, especially ninjas of unknown origin.

Kill directly!

Nothing much to say!

Higanbana has fought hard with Ashina Genichirō for more than thirty times, and now she has become very familiar with the character, with such smooth and silky movements and first-class operating awareness.

Just a small soldier?

Don't even take it into consideration!

The red spider lily took care of seven or eight soldiers in just a few moves.

But at this moment, he encountered his first powerful enemy.

[Samurai General: Kawamotoda Naomori], Rank 2, 2 Star...

Higanbana judged that ordinary Ashina samurai were first-level three-star, and the Ashina samurai team leaders were first-level five-star, and the samurai general should be the best among them and belong to the level of military generals.

This warrior general.

Not only does it have the performance of a second-level two-star.

His swordsmanship is extremely refined through countless refinements.

Higanbana didn't quite understand the opponent's swordsmanship style, and she had no idea how to do it in her first challenge. After a few rounds, she was defeated and killed by a quick thrust from the opponent.

"It's a bit awesome!"

"Don't underestimate this guy!"

Higanbana finally understood why hundreds of adventurers were tortured to death by this warrior general. Even she was defeated due to lack of skill, let alone ordinary adventurers.

Ashina Country is indeed full of experts.

However, Higanbana was not convinced. She knew that an opponent of this level could only stop her once at most, and she would definitely not be so lucky next time.

As the red spider lilies line up for preparation.

The discussion among several adventurers caught her attention.

"The time traveler has discovered the hidden contents of Ashina Country!"

"This route allows us to return to the world three years ago through the wolf's lost memories!"

Hear this.

Higanbana was very surprised.

She knew the wolf was missing a large part of his memory.

I never thought that this memory could be retrieved in this way!

Chapter 97 Tragedy

Adventurers arrived upon hearing the news.

A secret crystal operated by the Time Traveler.

The content presented is completely different from other adventurers.

The time traveler stood on a commanding height, and before him was an area surrounded by a large bamboo forest and a winding river.

The periphery of this area is dotted with houses, with the main house with vermilion beams and pillars clustered in the center.

This place is under invasion, a large number of houses have been destroyed, raging fires illuminate the night, corpses of civilians and warriors are scattered everywhere, and you can hear constant screams, or see large groups of looting and patrolling bandits, it is very miserable.

This is obviously not Ashina Castle.

It is the Hirata residence on the banks of the Longquan River.

The Time Traveler successfully opened the side quest, which was not an easy task.

Although this branch quest is relatively easy to trigger in the original "Sekiro", Qi Ji created a more vivid and realistic Ashina Castle in the remake.

He created a large number of residential areas outside the city and placed many ordinary Ashina people in the city, striving to restore a relatively real ecosystem of a small country's main city.

As for the NPC old lady who triggered the side quest?

Although the dilapidated house she lives in is quite recognizable, it is difficult to trigger this branch quest because there are too many ordinary civilians outside the city who cannot provide useful information.

The Time Traveler happens to be an adventurer who enjoys exploring stories of secret places.

However, he frequently appeared among the people in these houses.

Chat with these ordinary people.

During this process, I not only collected and learned a lot about the history of Ashina Province, as well as information about characters including "Immortal Hanbei", but also accidentally discovered this branch line.

Feng Zhongmian: "What place is this? This doesn't look like Ashina Castle!"

Nancy Liya explained: "Of course this is not Ashina Castle, but the incident of the invasion of Hirata Mansion three years ago!"

Feng Zhongmian was slightly stunned: "Hirata... Could it be the home of the Son of God, Hirata Jiulang?"

The Lonely Swordsman couldn't help but ask, "Since this happened three years ago, why are we allowed in?"

Nancy Liya said: "The time traveler found an old woman outside Ashina Castle and received a bell from her...

This bell seems to have some kind of magical power. If you place it before a mysterious Buddha statue in the ruined temple, you can travel back here."
