"This... this is too beautiful!"
As soon as they stepped out of the wooden door, Harry and Dudley were attracted by the sky full of lanterns. Lantern Night is a peaceful event in the world of Terraria, usually occurring on the night after the first defeat of a Boss or an invasion event.
It was clear that Yang Tao had defeated the Eye of Cthulhu, triggering the conditions for Lantern Night.
"Adventurer, you're back!"
The Guide's voice came from downstairs in the residence. He held a released lantern in his hand, identical in style to those in the sky.
"What a beautiful night! Due to your recent victories, the entire world seems more peaceful. These lanterns are to celebrate it all."
With that, the Guide loosened his grip and released the lantern in his hand. The lantern swayed and floated up, merging into the night sky.
"Welcome, adventurers. If you have any questions or things you don't understand, you can always come and ask me."
Looking at Jack, who spoke somewhat programmatically, Yang Tao felt helpless. This guy had free thought, but whenever it came to topics like adventure, he would become like this, as if specially trained.
"Jack, these two are new adventurers I brought. You can teach them how to survive in this world."
Jack's face broke into a heartfelt smile upon hearing this. The single night had made him instantly rich. Even if he could only take 0.1% of the gold coins obtained by adventurers, it was still nearly one platinum coin's worth of wealth.
With so much money, let alone Yang Tao having a bad temper, even if he were asked to sell his butt, he would wash it clean and wait.
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will teach them everything I know."
Yang Tao nodded slightly upon hearing this, then asked, "My house is built, why hasn't anyone come over?"
"Other people who assist your adventure need to meet certain conditions to be summoned, one of which is that it must be daytime. I estimate that the merchant and nurse will come over tomorrow morning…"
"That works too!"
Yang Tao nodded.
Then Dudley's startled voice came, "Wow, Harry, look, it's a shooting star! Hurry and make a wish… Wait, why is the shooting star getting bigger and bigger??"
Bang! A five-pointed star shimmering with golden light fell onto the open ground in front of Dudley.
Dudley: "…"
I wanted to make a wish, but I didn't wish for a shooting star! And why is this star a five-pointed star??
At this moment, Jack stepped forward and fulfilled his duty as the Guide, saying, "At night, stars fall, scattering across the world. They have extremely wide uses. If you see them, you must get them, because stars disappear after sunrise."
"Alright, what I just said was a general introduction. You can collect these stars and craft them into Mana Stars to increase your mana value."
"Of course, they can also be used as ammunition, but generally, no one would be so extravagant…"
Hearing the Guide's words, the first thing that came to Yang Tao's mind was the star Cannon with infinite properties…
Harry walked forward and picked up the Fallen star, which was only the size of a palm. Dudley also immediately came over.
"Can this thing give people magic? Does that mean I can become a wizard?"
Hearing Dudley's words, Yang Tao laughed, "It's different. It's a bit difficult for you to become a wizard like Harry, but a normal mage is no problem."
"Also, the nights here are very dangerous."
As soon as he finished speaking, Harry raised his wand and aimed it at a Demon Eye flying in the sky.
'Petrification Spell!'
A ray of light flew from the tip of the wand, accurately hitting the Demon Eye.
The Petrification Spell took effect, and the Demon Eye's body turned grayish-white. The 'stone' Demon Eye fell directly from mid-air and crashed onto the grass.
"What… what is this?"
An eyeball a meter in size is not something everyone can accept, at least Dudley, who had little experience, was a bit scared.
"Demon Eye, one of the monsters that appear at night. But if you hide inside the house, they can't do anything to you, after all, it's just an eye and doesn't have hands to open doors…"
Yang Tao looked at the petrified Demon Eye and said to Harry, "Harry, Petrification Spell has no damage. Switch to an offensive spell!"
"Sectumsempra!"
An invisible blade passed through the petrified Demon Eye. With a bang, the Demon Eye exploded, turning into a pile of flesh and blood fragments.
Dudley: "…"
His face turned a little pale, but that was a normal person's emotion.
"Mr. Yang, the monster seems to have dropped something…"
Harry didn't go directly, but turned his head and told Yang Tao about his discovery.
"Those are spoils dropped by monsters. Usually, they are some copper coins and silver coins. Some monsters can also drop some special items, just like the coin slots I gave you."
It's just that the drop rate is truly touching.
"Dudley, you go and pick up the money. Get used to this environment. You can't go on an adventure without courage."
"I… I…"
Dudley hesitated, Yang Tao walked over and patted his shoulder encouragingly, saying, "The best way to overcome fear is to face it. Come on! I believe you can do it."
A spoonful of chicken soup was spooned into Dudley's mouth. Although it wasn't as effective as brainwashing, it made him less afraid. He tremblingly walked over and picked up the copper coin that had fallen on the grass.
"Well done! Come back."
The flesh and blood on the ground were gradually disappearing.
"Harry, this is the town, and the number of monsters is very small. You can take Dudley to the forest to have a look, mainly to let him get used to it."
"Okay."
Harry naturally saw Dudley's problem and said with a teasing smile, "Dudley, if you're scared, I'll take you back. I just learned some small spells to coax children…"
Dudley glared at Harry, puffed out his chest, and said, "Who said I'm scared? It's just… just a little disgusting…"
With a pile of shredded meat and blood on the ground, he hadn't vomited, which meant his will was firm.
The two walked into the forest, chatting and laughing. Soon, Dudley's screams echoed.
Compared to the Demon Eye, the humanoid rotten Zombie was more impactful.
Hearing the sound, Yang Tao just smiled indifferently, then looked at Jack beside him and asked, "I've had a question from the beginning."
"If I go and defeat Wall of Flesh, will you die?"
"Are you talking about the Guide Voodoo Doll?"
"Hmm."
Wall of Flesh's full name is Wall of Flesh. It is a monster that exists in the Nether. To summon it, you need to obtain the Guide Voodoo Doll from a Nether Demon and then throw it into the magma.
This way, the Wall of Flesh can be summoned.
However, throwing it into the magma will also cause the real-life Guide to die.
"Of course, I will die, but I will resurrect again the next morning…"
"That's good. By the way, let me ask you something, do Dryads really not wear clothes?"
Jack's face showed a smile that all men understood. He whispered, "The Dryad race doesn't like any man-made objects. They only wear some leaves on their bodies at most…"
"And when casting magic, she uses the leaves on her body as a medium, oh… Hehe."
Yang Tao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, looking righteous, and said, "What are you talking about! What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person?"
"I am a great benevolent person who wants to save the entire Terraria world. Tell me the direction of the Corruption, and I'll go and kill the World Eater while I have time tonight."
One of the Eye of Cthulhu, World Eater, Brain of Cthulhu, or Skeletron must be defeated for the Dryad to move in.
However, Yang Tao still felt it was better to be cautious, at least to kill both the World Eater and the Skeletron.
