Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 215: Take off your pants first!

When he opened his eyes again, Luke found himself back in the familiar cabin.

The original wooden structure is the simplest form of nature. The gaps in the walls provide excellent lighting. Behind it is a steep cliff that seems to have no bottom. On the lawn in front, several cows and horses are grazing leisurely.

Lu Ke was no stranger to this scene.

This is near the Beginning of Guidance in the Nimgefu area. Normally, the Faded Ones will wake up nearby. If you just walk around, you can pick up the Finger Witch given by Two Fingers one-on-one at the blessing point.

The Finger Witch is responsible for helping the Faded Ones understand the world, soothing their hearts, and assisting them to walk on the right path and embark on the road to becoming kings. In short, she is similar to a mobile version of the Fire Keeper.

“It’s back to the beginning.”

Luke muttered, his thoughts going back to when he first came to the borderland long ago.

At that time, Luke was still very young.

He thought he was the destined son, who would be chosen by the spirit horse Torret, possessed by Melina, and defeat all the demigods in his way, collect all the Great Runes and become the new King of Elden.

He felt something was wrong when he realized that he was not in the Houwang Chapel but near the beginning of normal guidance.

There's something wrong with this birthplace!

After his finger witch Eleanor came to him, the stone in Luke's heart fell to the ground, and he finally confirmed that he was not the chosen faded one who sacrificed the finger witch at the beginning.

This borderland is very strange. It is not a pure game, but a world that is half real and half game.

The panels and systems are always there, but other than that everything is 100% authentic.

The map was countless times larger than the game, and all rational humanoid monsters could communicate normally. The boss looked fine as well. He once saw the lord of Stonewell City, the weakest demigod "Grek the Limb Reattachment", leading his soldiers to hunt a small flying dragon less than ten meters long.

There are blessing points here, but resting at a blessing point will not directly restore your health to full. Blessing can only speed up recovery. The price of death is not just the disappearance of all the runes on your body.

Although the Faded Ones can be resurrected, the stronger they are, the slower they will resurrect. There are also some Faded Ones who have given up on the path to becoming kings or whose strength has not improved much. They will gradually lose the ability to see and use the blessings.

If no Faded One can repair the Elden Ring within the specified time, the Broken Golden Law will cause a world restart every once in a while.

Dead creatures will come back to life, including those demigods, elite monsters, and NPCs in the game that cannot be resurrected. The collected demigod runes will also return to the demigods, just like starting a new round.

Before awakening the golden finger, Luke was extremely cautious. He was not sure whether he could be resurrected like other faded people or creatures.

After all, I am not an original product of this world. God knows whether the blessing of the golden tree can recognize me normally.

You can't insert an Apple charger into the hole on an Android device.

Furthermore, even if I could be resurrected, would I really be myself after resurrection? Would I be tampered with? Would I just be cloned and identical to myself?

Luke is not a person who likes philosophy, but after all, he still knows about the Swamp Man Hypothesis and the Ship of Theseus. He stays away from any form of resurrection and must be cautious when dealing with his own life.

So he always remains a lazy guy.

In the first few rounds, Luke tried hard for a while and barely managed to kill the weakest limb-joiner, Greg, but he was completely unable to advance afterwards.

Unlike in the games, every demigod boss here is very powerful. You can't just roll over and dodge them by improving your stats or mastering the moves, and there are no invincible frames for rolling.

Even if it was Greg, the fight was dangerous, and he couldn't fight at all afterwards.

So in the subsequent restarts, Luke gradually became worse, until the last round, when most of the time had passed and he hadn't even seen the ominous demon, his inaction finally made Eleanor leave in anger.

As the first faded person dumped by his own finger witch, Luke slept sadly and melancholy, and then found himself open.

My Fengling Yueying Sect is invincible in the world!

Apart from the CE party who can barely share some of the limelight, who can beat me?

Then Luke met Lenara.

The Full Moon Queen, Lena, is graceful and elegant, with a noble temperament. She is one of the most beautiful women in the entire border area.

Ever since her ex-husband Radagon left her with their three children, the good queen has lost her mind. She spends all day hatching the eggs left by Radagon and is extremely obsessed with her "children".

Originally, Lu Ke was passing by while looking for his finger witch. He felt that the Full Moon Queen was very pitiful, so he planned to help her and confiscate the Queen's Big Rune to help her wake up.

Unexpectedly, when the Big Rune was snatched away and the Queen woke up, she ended up losing the battle.

Luke refused at first, because he only had his own finger witch Eleanor in his heart, but the Full Moon Queen was so fragrant!
That gentle and lingering voice, that graceful figure, and she was the last queen of the Kalia royal family, who could resist her?

Recalling the times they had spent together, Lu Ke shuddered with nostalgia.

The queen is good in every way except that she is particularly obsessed with having children because of her past experiences. She is unwilling to stop her plan to have a baby until she feels the breath of life in her belly.

After sharing, Lu Ke is an excellent rider. He can drive a normal car to the end of time without any problem. Vans and the like are no match for him, and he is not inferior to large trucks either.

However, the fuel consumption of this top-of-the-line luxury car of the Kalia royal family is so horrific that the tank can never be filled up no matter how much gas is added. Lu Ke said that he really did not have a drop of gas left.

He looked forward to the reset day every day. Fortunately, none of his Faded brothers lived up to expectations and all of them fell on the road to becoming kings, allowing him to successfully usher in the reset.

"What does this prove? This proves that I was born to be a king."

After rolling around on the familiar little wooden bed and successfully seeing the broken furniture being crushed by himself, Luke stretched himself and secretly decided that he must not follow Lenara's path this week. He should consider becoming someone else's sharp blade.

He touched his waist out of habit; the Kalia Knight suit, the fully enhanced sword Yueyin, and the Kalia Scepter given by Lenara had all disappeared.

Luke sighed when he realized that he was only wearing a loincloth.

"The joy of a new game is to use your top-level equipment to beat the boss of the Novice Village. If you don't keep your equipment, you must give a bad review!"

Luke opened his panel and a dazzling array of familiar things came into view.

Character data:
Rating: 1
Rune holding: 0
Vitality: 99
Concentration: 99
Stamina: 99
Strength: 99
Dexterity: 99
Intelligence: 99
Faith: 99
Induction: 99
……

Obviously the level is 1, but all the values ​​are the maximum, and in fact it is not limited to that. It is displayed as 99 only because the upper limit is 99, not because Lu Ke really only has 99.

Lu Ke was too lazy to look at the data at the end, as they basically all showed the maximum value anyway. The only use of the panel now was to confirm that his golden finger was not a dream.

"Eat a dragon..."

Luke nodded his chin and began to think about what Elf Luke had discussed with him.

There are indeed many dragons in the border area, and there is also a ritual called Dragon Feast, in which one gains the power of a dragon by eating its heart. But if one eats too much, one will suffer the backlash and eventually turn into an earth dragon.

However, Lu Ke does not need to consider this problem. He can easily use the [Food is Heaven] spell. The border area is very tolerant to alien energy.

This place has long been fought over by various foreign gods. Beliefs such as the Dragon God, the Evil God, the Mother of Truth, the Goddess of Corruption, and a bunch of other beliefs have spread everywhere, and the rules of the border area have long been messed up.

Now there is just one more god of spells.

Luke closed his eyes and detected the magic spreading from himself. He saw the beginning of the guidance, "White Mask Fan Lei" holding a bouquet of flowers, looking around, and saw a girl in witch costume approaching him like a pilgrim, and saw a faded person in knight armor slowly climbing up from the ground in the distant Houwang Chapel...

Ok?
Luke raised an eyebrow and focused his attention on the Houwang Chapel.

In the ancient and desolate temple, a finger witch's breath of life stopped and her body fell in a pool of blood. The knight beside her looked at the message on the ground.

"Even if the guidance has long been broken, please become the King of Elden"

Almost at the same time, Lu Ke sensitively sensed a strange feeling. An invisible wave quickly spread to the entire world with the golden tree as the center. In just a moment, the world changed slightly.

Wow, the real protagonist is here?
Lu Ke was slightly surprised.

During his observation, the knight first turned around, and after finding nothing, he walked out of the gate. Then he began to turn in circles, walk, jump, make light attacks, make heavy attacks, and run.

This behavior doesn't seem like a Faded One that has just awakened, but more like... a player?
"It's worth studying. Let's go over and take a look."

Lu Ke was about to leave here, and seemed to remember something, and countless threads appeared in his eyes.

The Finger Witch and the Faded One are connected by fate. Every Faded One will meet his or her own Finger Witch during the journey, and vice versa.

"I almost forgot about the Finger Witch."

Lu Ke thought about it, stretched out his hand towards a silk thread connected to himself, and grasped it, and the silk thread was moved slightly.

"I'm sorry, Eleanor. Just wait for me for a while. I'll definitely do it next time."

……

As a finger witch serving the Faded One.

Eleanor had imagined countless times what kind of encounter she would have with the Faded One she served.

For example, two people stop during a lonely journey, sit down together at a blessed spot to rest, then look at each other and hold each other's hands tacitly.

For example, if she encountered danger on the way to find him, the brave Faded One would step forward, kill the monster that attacked her, and then extend his hand to her.

For example, when the Faded One was dying after a fierce battle, he appeared at the critical moment and healed his wounds with prayers, receiving his grateful and loving eyes.

There are many ideas, some romantic, some elegant, but none of them are bad.

After the inexplicable feeling of attraction appeared today, Eleanor immediately put on the most exquisite witch costume with excitement, tidied her appearance, and went to meet her faded one.

She felt a little nervous, not knowing what the Faded Lord she was serving looked like, what his personality was like, and whether he would look down on her.

But halfway through the walk, Eleanor suddenly froze and uttered a slight sound of doubt.

"Eh?"

The feeling of being pulled together was gone, the feeling of being connected by destiny was still there, the Faded One was still alive, but the feeling that had pulled the two together and brought them together was gone.

What about her faders?

Where did such a big fader go?
Eleanor felt a little uneasy.

Would she become one of the very few finger witches who couldn't find the faded one?

Absolutely don’t do that kind of thing!
……

In the Chapel of the Kings, Luke, who was in invisible state, watched the knight in full armor jumping all the way and finally stopping at the edge of the cliff, as if he was eager to try.

He doesn't want to jump, does he?
Just as Lu Ke was thinking this, his eyes blurred and a figure rushed past.

"Ah~"

Accompanied by a familiar and brief scream, the world went gray for a moment, and then Luke saw the knight reappear at the original place.

Lu Ke was so upset that his face was filled with black lines on his forehead. The scream he just heard was from a female voice, so it turned out to be a female knight.

What kind of idiot is this? He likes to test the brink of life and death?
No, if it is a novice player, this kind of thing is possible. The number of newbies who are killed by the messages of old players can circle the earth three times.

If this is true, then does this world really mean a game world?
But the reality of this world is beyond doubt.

Lu Ke suppressed his doubts and continued to observe the female knight, and then saw her start to take off her equipment.

Helmet, top, bottom, leg armor...

After all the equipment was taken away, a young and beautiful girl appeared in front of Lu Ke. She had a pretty face, but a cold expression. She seemed intimidating and angry without even having to do it, giving off the feeling of a strong woman.

The female knight touched her body whose private parts were wrapped in bandages and shorts, pulled hard and found that it did not move at all, then frowned and spoke her first words.

"That's it?"

Luke: ...

Eliminating all the factors that require complaints, he probably understood the truth.

This female knight is a "player". In her eyes, the world is just a game. The fact that she cannot engage in some 18+ behaviors tells us that she is indeed in a "game".

She has the ability to "digitize the world", and the area she is in will be close to the game. As to whether this ability is her own or given by others, it is not known now.

"interesting."

Seeing the female knight putting on her armor again and walking step by step towards the front to take over the nobles' territory, Luke showed a look of interest.

He thought that a mute with no emotions and unable to speak would come as the chosen Fader, and then fight his way through the entire border area.

A few seconds later, a foggy gate appeared in Lu Ke's sight.

“The world is truly digitalized.”

Lu Ke raised his eyebrows and began to count down in his mind.

3, 2, 1.

There was a sound of something hitting the ground, followed by the screams of the female knight.

"What the hell, what kind of monster is this!"

Lu Ke, who was watching the show, gave the answer silently.

He is a limb-transplanting noble.
