The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 373: Fire Extinguishing and Fire Spreading

Richard killed an undead, but he didn't gain anything. There are many undead in this world, and they basically have no soul power. These people have either been burned once or have lost their humanity and become undead.

The Sister Friede who was just dealt with was also the 'Lord of Fire' who was burned once.

The strength of the 'Fire Kings' varies. The strongest one is the original Sun King Gwyn. According to the books he saw in the monastery, ever since the Sun King Gwyn began the fire transmission ceremony, successive Fire Kings have not escaped the fate of being burned by fire.

Except for the Sun King Gwyn who volunteered, the other Chaos Witches, the White Dragon Seath, and the Tomb King Nito, who had obtained the powerful presence of the King's Soul in the primordial era, were all taken away by the undead and burned in the Primordial Fire.

Therefore, those undead people will definitely come to him persistently to pass on the fire.

It is impossible to pass on the fire. Not only does he not intend to pass on the fire, he also wants to put out the fire!

"If this is the price we have to pay to save the world, then it's better to just disappear from the world!" Richard gently grabbed the huge sickle. It was unknown what metal the sickle was made of. There were many runes condensed on it. It was considered a legendary weapon.

The soul is the firewood of the primordial fire. What is most needed for the continuation of the Age of Fire is the Fire King, that is, the firewood with the power of the King's Soul. As for the King's Soul, it should be the divine power.

Richard picked up the sickle, and a piercing chill came from the sickle, as if it wanted to break free from him. This was also a soul-bound weapon.

"System Tower Spirit, crack the usage permissions!"

"Scanning and digitizing analysis in progress"

"Analysis completed! Permission to use weapons obtained!"

The sickle that had been resisting immediately became docile. Richard could feel the remaining soul mark on the weapon, which should have been left by Sister Friede.

Richard's powerful soul power soon sensed that there was a person who had a close connection with the sickle not too far away from here. It should be Sister Friede.

Richard squeezed the horse's belly lightly, and the Nightmare Warhorse ran straight to that place. About a quarter of an hour later, Richard saw a strange bonfire burning in a remote wasteland.

The figure squatting beside the bonfire was Sister Friede who had just been killed by Richard. However, Sister Friede, who had just resurrected from the bonfire, was still very weak. Every time they died, they would lose a part of their humanity.

After being killed by Richard, her already limited humanity became even less. Having just been resurrected, she looked very confused and was sitting in front of the campfire in a daze.

This unlucky undead had set his resurrection point too close, and was blocked by Richard at the resurrection point.
"Clang!"

The sickle was directly lost by Li Cha. The nightmare battle came to the bonfire a little bit, and ignored the rejuvenation of the rejoiced Nun, who was just resurrected, and even dangled in front of her. She deliberately threw her on her with a ponytail. The cheap look wanted to make him a meal.

However, as a nightmare warhorse, although he is a warhorse, he is also a legendary demon. If a real fight breaks out, Fried may not be able to beat him.

Friede took the sickle blankly, and her confused look soon came back to normal after she saw Richard. Then she saluted Richard very politely and said calmly, "Unknown King, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon."

"You probably don't have much humanity left. If you die a few more times, you'll probably become a wandering zombie."

"Let's talk!" Richard patted the nightmare horse that was still making trouble and told him to run away and play.

"What do you want to talk about?" Fried asked.

Richard snapped his fingers, and a set of tables, chairs and tea sets appeared in front of him. Richard found a comfortable position, sat on the chair, and then pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down and try my tea."

The invisible servant next to him immediately made tea, and soon the aroma of tea wafted out.

Fried was a little confused, but still sat down. Soon the tea was ready, and the invisible servant poured a cup for each of them.

Richard picked up the cup and took a sip. This kind of tea was selected by Richard after hundreds of cultivations. It was specially planted near the Well of Eternity and watered with the water from the Well of Eternity. It was a very precious tea. Its leaves contained a strange magic power that could restore mental strength and magic power, and could heal spiritual trauma.

As a world that is being upgraded, these tea trees also gain some benefits, and they possess a trace of the power of the world.

Friede looked at the teacup in her hand. How long had it been since she last ate? Ten years, a hundred years, or even longer? She couldn't remember. In the end, Friede didn't think about it anymore, but drank the tea.

As soon as the tea entered her body, she felt a warm feeling coming from her cold and almost unconscious body. Her originally empty soul was wrapped in warmth at this moment. Her broken and erratic soul began to gradually condense, and a flow of energy merged into her soul.

"Impossible! I can actually taste it?"

"Is this the power of the soul?" Fried said in surprise, her eyes full of desire.

"Can I have another drink?"

Richard waved his hand, and the invisible servant beside him poured her another cup of tea. Friede drank the tea with a look of enjoyment, and Richard could feel that her soul had become more solid.

Not only that, after she absorbed the energy, her originally shriveled body became plumper and rounder. The shriveled sphere on her chest swelled up like a balloon, and her neck and arms also underwent similar changes.

Sister Friede's originally indifferent expression disappeared, and she closed her eyes with some enjoyment. Richard could feel that her soul, which had been like a stagnant pool of water, now had something more in it.

The zombie-like bodies on her body actually transformed into living people at this moment, and the scars on her face that were originally burned by the flames were also smoothed out by this power.

At this moment, she seemed to be reborn.

"I want more!" Sister Friede looked at Richard excitedly, her eyes full of desire, just like a fanatic seeing the god he believed in?
The invisible servant next to her quickly poured another cup of tea. Sister Friede drank it all in one gulp. This time, her body actually changed from pale to flesh-colored. The abnormal pale skin had a rosy glow.

She could feel the transformation of her body. Unlike the body of embers, her current body was more like flesh and blood. This power changed her body, turning her body of fireless embers into flesh and blood. Although only a part of it was left, it still made her feel excited.

She felt excitement, surprise, desire again.

Human nature is a very peculiar thing, it contains human emotions, desires, hatred, etc. As embers without fire, they should not have these things.

"What is this?" Sister Friede opened her eyes and asked after feeling the changes in her body.

"I guess so. It can heal some soul injuries and has some strange effects. It's suitable for you to drink." Richard said casually. "What do you want to know? Or what do you want me to do?" Sister Friede asked.

"As a reward, I need the drink you gave me just now. It is very important to me."

"Okay!" Richard nodded, then asked:
"The Fire Age of this world is about to end. Your so-called passing on of the fire is just a way to prolong its life. It won't solve any problems at all. Why do you still want to pass on the fire?"

"The purpose of passing on the fire is to continue the Age of Fire." Sister Friede said slowly after a long silence.

"Continuation? Continuation like the living dead now?" Richard said mockingly.

"The fire can't save the world!"

"Look at what this world has become. There are more and more undead ghosts, and there are very few living lives left. Even if the fire is successfully passed on this time, how long can it last?"

"Instead of living a life worse than death, it is better to be destroyed sooner!"

Sister Friede fell silent upon hearing this. In fact, after performing the Fire Transmission Ceremony so many times, these undead people have already understood that the Fire Transmission cannot save the world. No matter how hard they try, the world will eventually perish.

How long can this world exist if it relies on burning the souls of the strong to keep it alive?

"Can you tell me what the world is like now? Has the previous Fire King been burned out?" Richard asked.

"The previous Fire King has burned out, and the next Fire King refused to pass on the fire." Sister Friede said, "According to the ancient agreement, the Fire King who passed on the fire this time is the second prince of Lothric, but the eldest prince Lorian protected the second prince and refused to pass on the fire."

"The ancient bells are ringing, and the Fire Shrine has awakened us, the fireless embers, to perform the Fire Ceremony so that the world can continue."

"Refuse to pass on the fire!" Richard nodded. The world has become what it is now. There is no need to pass it on. What's the point of being a crappy fire king?

"That's good, this damn world really should end!"

"That was true originally. Great Prince Lorian was too powerful, and those awakened embers were no match for them. So the Firelink Shrine awakened the oldest Cinder King."

"Among them are the Deep Saint Aldrich, the Giant King Youm, the Undead Army of the Abyss Supervisor Faran, and the Soul Refiner Rhodos."

"It just disappointed those fire-transmitting sects!"

"Except for the soul refiner Rhodos, all other fire kings refused to pass on the fire." Sister Friede said sarcastically.

By now, many people had given up hope and were unwilling to continue passing on the fire. They would rather face the dark age after the extinguishing of the original fire. After all, this world was born from darkness, and the appearance of a miracle fire opened the Age of Fire.

Then according to the cycle of the world, after the flame goes out, the world will enter a dark age, and eventually a new miraculous fire will appear and illuminate the world once again. This is also the cycle of the world.

"Even the Fire Kings are unwilling to pass on the fire, so what are those Fire Passing Sects still insisting on?" Richard said.

"I'm here because a new Lord of Fire has arrived." Sister Friede said to Richard.

Well, this is his fault. With his arrival, the Firelink Shrine sensed the presence of a new Cinder King, and a powerful Cinder King that had never been burned before. So the Firelink Shrine wanted to bring this Cinder King to burn, right?

Richard, who possesses divine power, is more resistant to burning.

"So you think I'm easy to bully?" Richard sneered, "How come Prince Lorian can't beat them? Do they think they can beat me?"

He has released several Rune Eyes to conduct reconnaissance in various places. Richard has also seen the scenes seen by the Rune Eyes. Until now, Richard has not found a normal living person. All he has seen are some undead who have lost their humanity.

“Although there is no hope in this world, there are still some members of the Fire Transmission Sect who want to persevere, so they will continue to come to you,” said Sister Friede.

"You bear the mark of this world, and those embers will find you under the guidance of the mark."

"Is this the mark?" Richard grabbed it lightly, and a flame appeared in his hand. The flame was very weak, as if it could be blown out by a little wind. But sparks kept falling from it, like ashes left by burning.

"Yes, and by the way, there is also the radiance of the King's Soul on you. As long as they get close enough, those fireless embers will sense the radiance of the King's Soul."

Richard nodded, and exerted force with his palm, and the fire was extinguished by his palm, and the flame disappeared instantly. Then Richard's fingers quickly drew a few runes in the air, and these runes lit up slightly, and instantly formed a rune chain.

The rune chains formed a large net and fell on his body the next second. Richard's powerful aura disappeared in this instant, becoming almost invisible.

Even Sister Friede, who was sitting in front of Richard, could not sense any aura of the King's Soul from Richard. If you ignore Richard's appearance, he now has the same aura as those undead and wandering souls.

"The light of the King's Soul has disappeared." Sister Friede wanted to sense the existence of the King's Soul but found nothing.

Richard already understood what the King's Soul was, and with his strength, he could naturally hide the so-called King's Soul. At the same time, he also hid his own soul power.

Without the mark and the guidance of the king's soul, it would be almost impossible for other undead to find him. Even if Richard stood in front of them, they would not be able to find anything.

"I want to put out the fire, what do you think?" Richard looked at Sister Friede and said.

"This world is indeed about to end." Sister Friede said calmly. In fact, she was also tired of passing on the fire.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Me?" Sister Friede looked confused for a moment, then said, "I want to go to the world of Eredel in the painting."

"Then stay there quietly, waiting for the flames of the world to be completely extinguished."
