Come, Let's Join the Faith
Why is Solaire also involved in the Painting World?
The moment the question popped into my head, Hervey automatically generated the answer.
That must be because this Painting World is for two people, just like the Painting World that had the two-person adventure in the Sain Ancient City.
Moreover, it just so happened that Solaire and he touched the thing together when the two pieces of the broken painting were put together, so both of them were drawn in. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what they did!
The only unexpected thing is that afterimages can also enter the Painting World?
If that's the case, then if we find Painting World that we can't beat in the future, can we bring a phantom along with us? And when we fight a phantom, can we just slam the Painting World into its face, banish it inside, and then escape ourselves?
If we think about it a step further, could we throw monsters in there?
For example, what if we smeared the Painting World of Artorias onto the faces of the Farron Undead Legion?
Come to think of it, why doesn't anyone try this out?
If it weren't for this experience, Hervey himself probably wouldn't have imagined that the Painting World could be used in this way. More importantly, he hadn't seen anyone doing such a good job for so long. They say that the more people there are, the more talented people there will be.
"I'm tempted to give it a try. I need to hurry out and find a way to get to the old area."
He looked at Solaire, who was standing on high, and Solaire looked down at him. The clouds that had been blocking the sun dispersed at that moment, and the brilliant light shone down on the earth, gilding both of their armor with a golden glow.
"Only in this kind of atmosphere do I feel that the sun with the human face on Solaire's chest has a kind of sacred feeling," Hervey couldn't help but express his inner feelings.
As the sunlight shone down on the earth, the people who had been hiding inside the buildings popped their heads out, cheering loudly and praising the two people who had come to their aid. The applause was thunderous, and the enthusiasm was so great that if this were a concert, they would have shouted for an encore.
Hervey's lips were already trembling uncontrollably, one corner of his mouth turned up while he tried his best to suppress it, causing it to quiver.
He was showered with honors, whether you call it glory or vanity, he felt incredibly good right now. So good that he straightened his back, put his hands on his hips, and in one smooth motion, let out a loud "hahahaha" laugh.
The whole world is surrounding him, praising him, and cheering for him. At this moment, he is the protagonist created by the protagonist of this world!
No matter what kind of NPC you are in the real world, once you come to the Painting World, the whole world will revolve around you and treat you as the only protagonist!
After you complete the Painting World, the whole world will cheer for you!
"I want to be Sun Warrior for life."
Hervey muttered to himself, while another thought popped into his head.
He knew perfectly well that he could only enjoy such treatment within the Painting World. Once he left the Painting World, no one would recognize him anymore, and he would become just another ordinary person in the world.
However, he couldn't indulge in the false Painting World every day for the sake of momentary pleasure; his sense of responsibility told him to prioritize the real world.
So.
Then let's spread the word about our Sparkfire Church and our Sun Warrior more in the real world!
Sooner or later, he will make people outside the world feel the same passion when they see the Sun Warrior as they do when they see people in the Painting World!
"Let the Sun Warrior become advocates of helping others today!"
Hervey suddenly had a more long-term life goal, and he clenched his fists in determination.
I suddenly realized how much time I wasted before. Why didn't I understand this sooner and work on it?
Very good, it has completely taken on the shape of Sion.
He's so badly injured he can't walk; if he runs or jumps again, he'll probably die on the spot.
Fortunately, Solaire finished off the dragon that was only half alive, thus fulfilling the conditions for clearing the Painting World. This is probably the fastest Painting World to be conquered.
Without the suggestion of Hypnosis Magic, Hervey probably wouldn't have been so determined to succeed in one go; he might have had to grind for several days instead. Now, he's suddenly unleashed his full potential and achieved incredible results.
When all the dragon's corpses had dispersed, the spoils of this journey finally came into his hands.
First, the number of scales from the Choking Dragon Fang tooth returned to its peak, because even when he couldn't move, he could command his weapons to collect scales from the dragons on their own. The quality of Sain's dragons was quite high, with one scale being equivalent to two or three.
Secondly, there are a large number of souls. The number of souls is so large that even now he can directly advance to level three, which can be considered a significant improvement. If he keeps some of them hidden, he can give the Holy Light Church a surprise when they face off again.
There were also various odds and ends donated by the local residents, all of which were practical items, and they even replenished the Dung Pie he had just used.
The most important gains, of course, involve equipment and magic.
[Miracle: Splitting Lightning Spear]
[The miracle used by Warrior of the Oath of Sunlight can hurl scorching lightning spears, which, depending on the amount of magic the Warrior invests, will split into three to five smaller lightning spears.]
The Splitting Lightning Spear possesses the ability to track enemies on its own, which the Sun Warrior use to hunt agile and cunning foe.
[Armor: Wyvern Helm]
The deformed Dragon Scale, which lay on the ground as it perished, formed the shape of a helmet.
[It possesses a strong dragon aura; even if it doesn't match the power of an ancient dragon, it's enough to instill fear in ordinary beasts.]
Hervey immediately pressed the Wyvern Helm onto his head and learned the Splitting Lightning Spear on the spot, feeling as if knowledge filled his brain.
While receiving cheers and praises from people, I counted my harvest. How could there be such a wonderful thing in the world!
The Painting World collapsed, and he was plunged into darkness, but his weary body seemed to sink into a warm river.
When Hervey opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that all his injuries and fatigue had disappeared without a trace, and even his mental state seemed to have improved.
"Strange, was I treated like this when I came out of the Painting World before?" Doubt filled his mind.
This wasn't the case before, because this was compensation Gong Qiying had just given him.
"Hervey? How come you're out so quickly?"
The Starfire Knight's puzzled voices came from the side. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that everyone had gathered together to set up camp. Even the stew pot had been set up. One person was adding firewood, two people were chopping, and many more were slacking off.
"We're just worried you won't be able to get out first. We're all prepared for a long struggle," Starfire Knight said frankly, without feeling embarrassed.
"Oh, I see. You guys seem to be living a pretty carefree and happy life."
Hervey gave a forced smile, glanced at Solaire who had come out with him, then at the painting that had fallen to the ground, and then used his scales to pick up the painting.
As long as you don't touch it, you won't be sucked in.
He then beckoned to one of the Starfire Knight, who walked over with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Come on, stand here, yes, right next to Solaire."
"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"I've gained something wonderful from the Painting World, and even my mental health has improved. Do you want to know what I saw?"
"Think about it, how should I view it?"
"Just look at it this way!"
Hervey shoved the painting onto Starfire Knight's face and grinned maliciously:
"Come on, let's believe in the sun together."
