above the ring

Chapter 24 Stonewell's Eagle Screech

After adding points, Lear escaped from that wonderful feeling, and he saw Melina bowed slightly, and her figure instantly turned into mist and gradually dissipated.

A sense of loss welled up in my heart.

It seems that something that I am looking forward to has slipped through my fingers, it seems that the youth that once returned but suddenly passed away, and it seems that it is destined to have a fruitless encounter.

In short, Lear feels very bad now.

I found a corner, sat down, touched the blessing, and let myself return to reality.

When he returned to reality, this feeling still lingered, which made him slump on the sofa without thinking about anything, replaying the bits and pieces of the contact with Melina over and over again in his mind.

In the end, Lear made sure of one thing. He felt that this rune strengthening method was very problematic, and there was a big problem.

Combining the description about the fire that Lear had obtained before, he thought of an NPC.

Nothing happened, he returned to the room, turned on the computer, and searched for information about "Knights of the Round Table" Vic.

There is not much information about Vic, but there is definitely a lot. As a legend among the faded, he is at the top of the border in terms of strength, influence, etc. After all, he is the legend closest to the "King".

In the game, he is not a demigod that can be clearly challenged, but a small boss imprisoned in a sealed prison.

In addition, the "finger marks" suit is not well-known, but judging from the heavy armor suit, the appearance is not as good as the veteran set and the white wolf battle ghost set, and the attributes are not the top class. Therefore, many people collect finger marks suits Except for using it to cosplay Vic to beat his old friend Lanel Shanks, it is basically with the idea of ​​collecting.

By the way, Lanel Shanks is the earliest ancient dragon. It is clearly stated in the game that she is female and can also transform into a human form. Communicating with humans can only be understood and cannot be explained in words. Among the many knights, Vic is is her favorite knight.

Through the analysis of the existing information on the Internet, Lear finally understood the relationship between Vic and Bianhuo.

Why did Vic change from the famous "Knights of the Round Table" to "Burning Fingers"?
In fact, we have to start with the Witch of Vic.

Because the road to becoming a king is very difficult, not only to obtain two large rune fragments that can be used to repair Elden's Ring, but also to deal with the "thorn of rejection" that the golden tree seals itself, and solve the "thorn of rejection" The only way is to use the "Giant Flame Cauldron" on the snow-capped mountain, use the "fire of destruction" burning in the cauldron to burn down the golden tree, and then open the door to the inside of the tree.

Sacrifice is required to start the terrible "fire of destruction", and the final mission of the guiding witches is to burn themselves and open the last door to the throne for the faded.

Therefore, Vic, who was unwilling to let the witch sacrifice, took another path - releasing the fire.

Apart from the "fire of destruction" in the giant fire cauldron, the only flame that can burn down the golden tree is the "fire of destruction". In this way, "fire of destruction" should also be regarded as a kind of "fire of destruction". Lear goes The ending of the fire, not only burned the golden tree, but also burned the entire junction.

Some say Vic was enticed to set fire to it, others say he was given it to save his own witch.

But no matter what his purpose was, the end result was not good anyway. His witch turned into a charred corpse, and he himself became extremely crazy because of the fire.

After Melina added something to herself, Lear finally understood Vic's story.

If every rune gain had to be like that soul intertwined
Lear felt that he would definitely be able to make such a move that he would rather be hunted down by Melina than burn the golden tree with fire.

How to say that sentence, "Even if you hate me and hurt me, your safety is more important than anything else."

Lear, who had imagined a love scene in his head, spread himself out on the bed.

Ruen really had some sequelae. This kind of sequelae made him want to do nothing, think about nothing, just think about that beautiful pink-haired girl, and think about the faint smile that she couldn't control her expression a few times. Suddenly thinking of her indifference and distance towards him, gradually a faint feeling of suffocation and sadness filled the atrium
"What should I do!"

Lear couldn't take it anymore, and he decided to release himself from this terrible state of mind.

What is the best solution for him?

The rational and clear-headed Lear turned on his phone, clicked on a game, and looked at the number of rough stones he had saved for several months.

Sixteen thousand.

Very good, one hundred draws.

Click on the green up pool, click ten times with one button, and click five times in a row.

The golden light flickered, and a cute little zombie appeared on the screen of Lear's phone.

Good, he's sure he's fully awake.

Putting his hand on his chest and touching the light spot, Lear entered the junction.

These few days, Lear has very little sleep time, but with Bear Meat and Jin Guoguo, he is now like a little sun. He can play games at work and is full of positive energy every day.

The most important thing is that after being taught by Lao Feng, a veteran in the insurance industry, Lear is good at talking.

The junction is the era when knights and gods coexisted. The template is probably not much different from the Western Middle Ages on Earth. Lear has made up relevant knowledge again before, and there are some terms that sound a little bit secondary. The purpose is to be able to To deal with some emergencies.

Back at the blessing point outside the gate of Stonewell, Lear instantly felt refreshed, and wanted to find a guy who was a bit more powerful to have a good fight.

Climbing up the ramp, Lear headed towards the Great City Gate.

Touching the blessing point at the door, from the large falling iron gate with a grid-shaped hollow, Lear saw many ballistas erected on the city walls on both sides of the road in the city.

Breaking in from the main entrance is very difficult no matter how you think about it.

Lear chose a detour from the bottom of his heart, and made a real decision to use the plan he had made before.

After entering the small house next to the city gate, a scrawny old man with no left arm appeared in Lear's sight.

This is a well-known NPC, the gatekeeper of Stonewell City, the old money thief, Gotok.

"Excuse me, that one over there, can you come here?"

He stood in the only light in the small room, and there were candles on the ground, and those candles illuminated a wall in the small room. The part of the wall was worn away, engraved with thorns, "the emblem of the lost knight" .

That is the current logo of Stonewell City, and the walls outside the city are covered with black thorns, which is very similar to this.

"who are you?"

As usual, Lear still had to ask the other party's name.

"I'm uh, my name is Gotok, you're a fader, aren't you?"

"I'm not a fader, I'm a traveler, visiting Stonewell."

"Brigade tourism? Oh, well, but Stoneville is not a very good place to visit right now, the soldiers in the city are everywhere arresting people, especially, uh, especially if you are a tourist who is no different from a fader By."

"is it?"

"Of course, I won't lie to you. I am the gatekeeper of Stonewell City now. If you want to go in through the main entrance, you can, but there are many ballistas driving the entrance over there, and the soldiers guarding the main entrance will not let you in. You made it in"

"I remember someone went in before."

"Uh, yes, yes. A girl with no money on her body, and a magician who is hard to mess with at first sight"

"Oh? Do I look like the kind of easy-to-provoke bully?"

"Of course, of course not, you, you."

Lear took off his helmet, the golden light in his eyes on his fair face stunned Gotok.

It was the golden light after being blessed with fire, no different from those who were blessed at the junction.

"You, you are really not a fader"

"Open the door for me, and let me know that I come from the farther north of the golden tree, through the wind and snow and the plateau, just to return to the territory of the old god."

Lear is now very good at fooling around.

Lear can already come up with some related pre-compiled words.

On the Internet, the title of "Sword Master of Two Swords" in Sol City is definitely very resounding. The Lost Knights Legion stationed in Sol City in the north, now only a few people are left, stationed in the form of knight spirits. In the icy city of Sol, like their legendary veteran, they are waiting for the return of their gods.

"Okay, okay" Gotok probably saw the golden-eyed guest for the first time, he shouted a few times, and according to Lear's original words, there was a sound from above the room.

There is a high probability that Gotok didn't understand the meaning of these words that Lear said, or he simply pretended not to understand, and wanted to see what kind of person Lear was.

Sure enough, as Lear expected, with the sound of the winch turning, Stonewell's gate was gradually raised, and a homeless knight in heavy armor came over with several exiled soldiers.

Seeing Lear's golden eyes, they put on a defensive posture, and pointed a few bows and crossbows at Lear.

Walking in front, the homeless knight in heavy armor did not draw his sword, and the cloak behind her fluttered casually, showing a mighty and domineering color.

Lear noticed that the armor emblem on her body was similar to the emblem in the small room, but still different.

The eagle body on the top is more complete and the pattern is more delicate.

Presumably, Greck hadn't inspected the city for a long time, and the entire Stonewell was basically becoming the base of the remnants of the Storm Age—there was hardly a single soldier wearing the orthodox Greck uniform in the entire Stonewell City.

"Who are you? Where do you come from?" Under the heavy knight armor, a deep female voice spoke.

"My name is Lear. You probably haven't heard my name, but you should know Neo's name."

Lear started his flickering.

"Neo? I've heard of it."

The female knight's voice was stiff, and she seemed like the kind of person who hadn't spoken for a long time.

"I come from Sol City in the north. Veteran Neo is still stationed in the cold north. He is accompanied by only crutches and battle flags every day. He keeps the last fire for the name of the lost knight."

"Is he still holding on?"

"Nowadays, the world is difficult. I am ordered by the Storm King to return from the King's Chapel. With the legacy of the Storm Eagle, I recruit the old troops and make preparations for the return of the God King."

Lear talked eloquently, but the female knight in front of him was not moved at all.

"I don't believe you."

The blunt and cold sentence made Lear speechless.

"You want to see evidence, like a token, don't you?"

"Yes."

Lear took out the soul calling bell and a jar of ashes that had been dusty for a long time from the mind space.

In the urn, the power of the storm escaped impatiently, and the spiritual body inside seemed to be inspired by something, and gradually became agitated.

On the opposite side, the female knight raised her hand tremblingly, and she felt the incomparably pure power of the storm from the ashes.

"In the city, except for that crazy Greg, are all our people?"

Lear asked solemnly.

"Not all, but they are not to be feared."

The female knight's voice fluctuated a little, as if the moment the storm force appeared, she came alive.

Lear nodded, holding the ashes in one hand and the soul calling bell in the other.

Imagining the poses of the character controlled by the player in the game, he also rang the bell.

The sound of the bell was very crisp, and in the mist that emerged from the spirit world, with water-blue light spots, a condensed spirit body gradually revealed its proud heroic appearance—it was a rebellious eagle, it Spread your wings and soar, hovering outside the gate, rejoicing to return to your former hometown.

With sharp eyes and crisp chirping, this storm eagle returning to its nest is calling for all the falcons in the city.

"Wow!"

"Ow~"

The cries one after another resounded through Storm City.

On the avenue, the exiled soldiers who were waiting in full battle put down their tricks, raised their heads and enthusiastically listened to the howling of eagles that they had not heard for decades.

On the path, Roger, who was walking on the edge of the cliff, looked up at the extremely strong Storm Eagle with claws and sharp blades, flying in the direction he came from.

In the city, the irritable and irritable mountain demon who had already lost his sanity raised his head and looked at the vast sky that seemed to be no different from before.

Beside the phantom golden tree, the beautiful female warrior panted heavily and put down the tomahawk in her hand with a "boom", and the homeless knight, who was already powerless to fight, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and stretched out her hand to the other side of the eagle's roar.

Upon hearing the news, the Stormhawks flew to the gate of Stonewell.

"Stonewell, it seems that the sky is about to change"

The female soldier muttered to herself, taking advantage of the commotion, she hid in a small room on the side.

Behind him, a huge mountain demon and several squads of exiled soldiers rushed towards the gate of the city where the commotion occurred.

The voice of Stormhawk Tingne was very clear and thick, and its voice attracted a large number of Stormhawks in the city.

In the age of storms before the golden tree, the Storm King and his partner, the Storm Eagle King, jointly protected the city of Stonewell, which was built on the top of the mountain. The whole city showed their valor in the storm.

However, time has changed and things have changed. It has been a long, long time since the homeless knights have heard the long cry of the Storm Hawk, and it has been a long, long time since they have seen the gathering of the Storm Hawk.

The Stormhawks lost their king as the Homeless Knights lost their homeland.

Now, the reunion of the Storm Eagles heralds the return of the Storm Eagle King. Will it be far from the return of the Storm King?

The female knight didn't know if her extravagant wish could be realized, but the handsome man with golden eyes in front of her did indeed give her a new hope, a hope she hadn't seen for a long time.

So, she couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "That eagle."

"It's Tingne. Although he is not the Eagle King, he is a hero who accompanies the King. I have met the Eagle King. He is waiting for his king. I am a hero recognized by the Eagle King. I came here to find our king."

Lear's words were concise and concise, which not only showed his intention of coming, but also explained the so-called mission he shouldered. Of course, he was climbing up the pole. They looked at it several times.

He even fooled the obvious talker female knight.

That's pretty good, and saves a lot of trouble.

"Ogilvy, the Lost Knight, in the name of the leader of Stonewell's Lost Knights, I salute the Heroes of the Storm."

Ogilvy saluted the knight seriously and formally towards Lear, and the soldiers behind him who were wearing the uniforms of exiled soldiers also beat their chests with their right hands to pay their respects.

Lear also responded with a knightly salute.

After the two parties greeted each other, Lear said directly: "I will leave Tingne the Stormhawk to you. As you said, since our people have not completely controlled the entire city, people from Gregor will definitely come here to investigate in a while. Leave it to you, don't expose Tingne's identity easily, it's best not to mention my existence, give me a set of exiled soldier uniforms, and I will sneak into the city and wait for the opportunity."

"What are you going to do? How do we need to cooperate?"

"I don't need your help. My mission is to find the king and assist the king to regain control of Stonewell. You must preserve our strength. If necessary, we will launch a coup and eradicate all 'grafts' in the city."

"I get it, but there are two very difficult issues that need to be resolved."

"If it's Greg, I'm here just for him, and I'll find a chance to get rid of this scourge. Oh yes, this guy showed me. He seems to have some connection with Greg."

Getok, who was cowering aside, glanced at Lear in confusion.

He was stunned, he didn't say anything, how could this man deduce that he had a connection with Greg?

"Don't worry! He used to be Greg's servant, but he was humiliated and sent here to guard the gate because of some incidents. He still has a lot of contacts with Greck, and I will be optimistic about him."

"Well, that's good, you just said that there are two questions, which one else?"

"Besides Greg, there is another question I have to tell you. Recently, many black thorns suddenly appeared in the city. Those thorns were thick and abnormal, lingering and twisting. Some of them looked like dead things. There are moving thorns, you have to be careful of these black thorns, we don't know where they grow from, and we don't know if they are related to Gregor's 'graft', but please be very careful!"

"I know, I will be careful, you and your subordinates should also be more careful, remember, don't be blindfolded by Tingne's return, even though the power of the Golden Tree is still declining, we are still very weak, Don't be impatient. Before I defeat Greck, I don't want anything to happen to Stonewell. What this place is now, it should be like this in the future. Everything is waiting for Greg's death."

"I understand."

"When things are about to happen, you have to be more careful. Remember my words, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard."

"The revolution has not been successful yet, do comrades still need to work hard for a revolution to subvert the royal power? I remember."

"Then come to a comrade's hug. I think you have had a hard time in the past, but the day when the hard work is over will come."

Inexplicably, Lear stepped forward and hugged Ogilvy. Wearing armor, she was two heads taller than Lear. She was a tall and powerful woman. She was wearing a helmet, so her face could not be seen, but Lear could also Sure, Ogilvy shouldn't be the kind of pretty girl, hugging her is like hugging a big bear.

Ogilvy probably hasn't been so intimate with others for a long time, she jerky responded to Lear's hug, separated by the cold armor, she felt the warmth from him.

It was a kind of spiritual warmth, the warmth of having the support of like-minded brothers and sisters, which filled Aogewei's inner motivation, and the long and lonely waiting finally got some comfort.

She made up her mind to firmly remember that sentence, and was going to say it to those knights who stood firm in Stonewell City like her.

They are not called the Lost Knights, that is the name imposed on them by the Golden Tree Dynasty.

They are the knights of Stonewell, the knights of the eagle, the knights of the ice wind, and the knights of the wind and thunder.

Aogewei began to look forward to the day when their names would come back to them, take off the so-called sinner title, and follow the new generation of Storm King to gallop across the battlefield again and establish the incomparably huge and magnificent empire!

Lear didn't know what was going on in Ogilvy's mind, but before he left, he slipped on a set of exile soldier's uniform, put it on happily, and walked along the edge of the big ramp leading to the city.

Sure enough, as Lear had expected, two groups of soldiers, who clearly had a dividing line and were on guard against each other, walked towards the gate together.

To the outside world, Stonewell seems to be very peaceful. There are crazy "attached" demigods sitting in the town, and the whole city is under martial law. However, in fact, there are undercurrents here. In addition to the gatekeeper, Mr. Ominous, and the furnace knight, Even more than one fader sneaked into the city.

Today, there are two factions of the Homeless Knights and the "Limb-grabbing" nobles, and they are clearly opposing each other.

Of course, they're all unanimously hostile to faders.

This kind of division lasted until the troll with the golden sword appeared on the stage and finally eased a lot. The huge troll was guarding the royal gate of Greck, but now it was attracted by the howling eagles above Stonewell, and those who were captured by Greck The exiled soldiers who were specially promoted as "personal guards" came to the gate of the city.

No matter how you look at it, this mountain demon looks like it is going to support the situation, and it stands aside foolishly, without saying a word, only the leaders of the exiled soldiers are negotiating with each other.

The entire city of Stonewell is much larger than what was shown in the game. Apart from the civilian houses that have been transformed into barracks, there are many subdivisions in the entire city. Commercial areas and residential areas are all divided into huge and thick walls. , But now, those houses are empty, and many residents have been relocated. Those who can escape the city have long since fled, and those who cannot escape the city have all been driven to castles and watchtowers in remote corners, waiting There is no bright future for them.

There is a huge green grass square in front of the boss room leading to the impression of Greck, and the collapsed idol has become a barricade for the defenders. Greck has set up four or five lines of defense here to guard against possible malicious intentions. guy.

In the past, it was used to guard against the faded team, but now these lines of defense are guarding against some more powerful and special forces.

Because there was a problem at the city gate, the defenders here also left a lot of people sparsely. Therefore, in the empty square, Lear saw a fat man with a strange appearance and a dog gnawing on the corpse at a glance.

The fat man watched the dog nibbling on the corpse of its own kind, and seemed to be shaking himself happily.

The sons of evil omens, those ordinary people who are said to be besieged by evil omens, without exception, grow up to be all kinds of fat people with terrible horns and disgusting sarcoma.

How could there be a child of evil omen here?
Lear probably understood after a little thought.

If you don't consider the appearance of these ominous fat men, in fact they are all qualified thugs with great strength, as long as they are fed enough, they will rush towards the intruders like wild dogs.

And this fat man looks as stupid as that troll. He is probably raised by Greg's subordinates like that wild dog. When it comes to fighting, let him go first, and there is no need to care about his life or death.

Lear wisely bypassed Fatty, not because he couldn't beat him, but because he found it troublesome.

After turning around a few corridors, Lear saw the phantom golden tree, and a golden tree seed emitting a shimmer was right beside the phantom golden tree.

Well, almost there.

Lear looked forward.

Oh, beautiful female warrior, noble princess, your hero is here~
PS: Change first and then change.
