The Legend of Dave the Villager 37

***Spoiler warning:** Plot summary will follow.*

## Overview

**Bedrock City** is the thirty-seventh book in the series and the seventh book in Season Four. It is about Dave and his friends traveling to Bedrock City, fighting twisted zombies and facing a version of Spidroth from the past.

## Prologue

Mad Mulligan is trying to use The Sight, but it is hard since Bedrock City is being overtaken by the Far Lands. He manages to see Dave with The Sight, and sees that he and his friends are heading towards Bedrock City. He then has a vision of Spidroth, and Mulligan comes up with a plan.

## Plot

Dave, Carl, Alex, Porkins and Spidroth tame horses to ride them. Dave thinks of his new relationship with Spidroth, and that he was worried about being the Farmer for a long time and never seeing Spidroth for a long time. Then, Porkins spots Bedrock City in the distance. Since they are about to face the Ender Dragon, Spidroth suggests to go to the Nether roof and mine for netherite.

Dave builds a nether portal, and they build a bridge over to the Nether roof, where they all mine for netherite. Over the course of a few weeks, they mine for netherite, occasionally taking breaks in the Overworld to sleep, where Dave and Spidroth sometimes take long walks together. Eventually everybody gets full netherite armor and weapons. They then head towards Bedrock City.

As they travel through gravel mountains, the world around them starts glitching, with parts of biomes flickering around. Spidroth explains that the Far Lands are shifting inwards, slowly swallowing up the world. Eventually, Dave's Crew gets extreme Far Lands Sickness, but luckily, Dave finds some bees. He gets honey from them, and they all drink the honey. The Far Lands Sickness goes away, and they all keep traveling.

After arriving at Bedrock City, Dave and his friends begin exploring the area. They encounter long, twisted zombies (or twisted for short) and fight them off. After defeating the twisted, they notice some white glitchy clouds. During another fight, Carl is knocked into one of them, and it seems like he is reversed in time, first switching into his diamond golem suit, iron golem suit, and finally, he isn't wearing any suit. He walks out of the cloud (without a suit) and it seems like he doesn't know who Dave and the others are. He is pushed back into the cloud and turns back into netherite golem suit Carl, who seems very confused about what just happened. Suddenly, they are attacked again and this time Spidroth is knocked into the clouds. She comes out wearing a purple and gold outfit, as well as a different hairstyle. Her personality is clearly that of a former Spidroth, likely the one thousands of years ago, back when she was still a ruler. Dave tries to explain what happened, but Spidroth doesn't believe them and attacks. Alex engages her in battle but is killed. With no other fighters as skilled as Spidroth, Dave and his team are forced to run and find Alex.

After Dave leaves, Spidroth encounters Mad Mulligan. Mad Mulligan attempts to form an alliance with Spidroth but she refuses and attacks. Using the Sight, Mulligan defeats Spidroth and she agrees to join him.

After finding Alex, Dave looks for Spidroth. When Spidroth sees Dave and his friends, she attacks them once more, but this time Dave knocks her onto a wall, seemingly turning her back to normal Spidroth. The only strange thing is that Spidroth is still wearing her ruler clothes and hairstyle. In addition, the way she talks is very strange and far too bubbly. The gang also finds out that Spidroth is in a relationship with Dave, and after that, they move on.

## Epilogue

Dave and his friends continue their journey after throwing another eye of ender. While walking away, "normal" Spidroth turns her head back, and without anyone else seeing, winks. Mad Mulligan sees this and knows that his plan to follow Dave succeeded. After befriending ruler Spidroth, he explains everything that happened with Dave's gang recently and tells her to pretend to be back to normal. This way, he can spy on Dave and follow him without being discovered. He recalls his vision of riding the Ender Dragon and knows that somehow, he will achieve that feat.
