Chapter 761 Solar, Alive!

“You are also Sun Warriors? I am Solar of Astra. You guessed it, I am also a follower of the Sun God.”

"I never expected to meet a fellow believer here. I'm so lucky, hahaha."

"After I became an undead, I came to this place where King Gwyn was born to find my own sun! Do you think I'm a weirdo? Well, I really am. Don't take it to heart, everyone had the same expression after hearing that, wahahahaha!"

"The sun is truly magnificent, like an extraordinary father. I truly hope that one day I can be as huge and full of heat as the sun."

If you were Solar, you probably wouldn't be able to utter those classic lines with such enthusiasm in the current situation.

because
"How's my pose? It's a perfect compliment to the sun. Hurry up and take a picture of me and Solar together."

"It's a classic line from the father of the sun, I've memorized it all: 'I really hope one day I can be like that too.'"

"Is this the first time I've seen a living Solal outside of the world of painting? Although his appearance hasn't changed, it feels so novel."

“Record it, record it, take it back and show it off to the people in the church.”

If it weren't for afterimages, it would be impossible to speak calmly and composedly in such a noisy environment.

These noisy sounds naturally came from the Starfire Knights, who were incredibly excited to see the Starfire Church's super popular king, Solar. Even the usually composed Herve joined the queue for taking photos.

"Carrying a photo recorder with me was definitely the right decision!"

These powerful warriors, whom the Church of Holy Light regarded as formidable enemies on the battlefield, transformed into elderly tourists visiting a tourist attraction, surrounding Solal and taking photos.

Although many of these people had seen Solar before, some in the world of Artorias's paintings and others in the world of Anor Londo's paintings, as they said, this was the first time they had seen Solar in person outside of the world of paintings.

It might seem like there's no difference, but in their eyes, the difference is huge, so huge that they have to take photos to commemorate the occasion and then show off on their social media when they get back to church.

Look, we were the first to find and obtain Solar!

Even a fleeting image like Solar, imbued with unwavering conviction, gradually fell silent under the Starfire Knights' "offensive."

"Um, Mr. Solar, could you help me strike a pose in praise of the sun?"

"Huh? Oh oh."

He even cooperated with the Starfire Knights by taking photos at their request.

It's like being a cosplayer collecting photos with other visitors at a comic convention, but not a very skilled one at that.

The actions of these outsiders were enough to make Solar, who always called himself an eccentric, lose his composure.

Along the way, many people tried to talk to him and ask him questions, and he always answered them enthusiastically, giving all the answers he could.

What puzzled him most was that the people opposite him could seamlessly pick up on everything he was about to say, as if they could read his mind.

It's really a bit eerie, eerily so.

It's scary enough that someone can say "Your next words are xx," but now a whole bunch of such people have appeared all at once.
From which remote corner did these geniuses emerge?

Solal was unaware that his status in the Church of Spark was equivalent to that of an archangel under the Lord God of the Church of Holy Light. He had been deified by believers outside the church, and people prayed to him every day.

It was a genuine prayer, truly sending one's faith to a phantom within the city of Sien.

"Alright, alright, that's enough relaxation time. We still have important business to get on with, don't we?"

Hervé's words successfully brought the Starfire Knights, who had been acting recklessly, back to their proper behavior. He was pleased that his leadership abilities had not disappeared.

"It's a pleasure to meet you here, Solar of Astra. Your deeds are known to all. We are also people who have sworn the oath of the Sun Warriors, striving to understand our own mission and yearning to follow in the footsteps of the sun. If possible, let's help each other."

Why is he only using my words?

Originally, it should have been him who uttered the line about helping each other, but Hervé and his group seemed to have memorized the script. Solaldon paused for a moment before nodding. "It's rare to see companions, so naturally we should help each other on the journey ahead. Take this; if you encounter any difficulties, just summon me."

He handed a white-marked wax stone to Hervi, which instantly transformed into several streams of light as Hervi received it, scattering into the hands of everyone.

White-marked wax stones are an important item used to summon helpers. If you want to participate in one of the key gameplay elements of the Sien Dungeon—Invasion and Assistance—this item is essential.

Although Herve and the others who had been to the Sien Dungeon before had White Mark Wax Stones, it was obvious that new adventurers in Scammeron would not.

Therefore, classic props such as the white-marked wax stone, elemental bottle, and blood-red eye gem definitely need to be given away in new ways.

Thank you, we will cherish it.

As Hervé accepted the items, he began to think things through, because the appearance of the person in front of him, Solal, was quite different from what he had imagined.

As is well known, if an adventurer has visited the painted world of "Wolf Knight" and met Solal, Solal, who appears in Anor Londo, will inherit the memories of that time and his attitude towards the adventurer. Many adventurers have benefited or suffered as a result.

Of course, Herve had an excellent working relationship with Solar in those two painting worlds, and their rapport was very high, so when he saw him here, he was looking forward to catching up.

As a result, Solal here seemed to have been reset to factory settings, looking at them as if they were strangers. One after another, classic lines that had almost become memes among adventurers popped up, as if he were seriously introducing himself to someone he was meeting for the first time.

"Is the Solar here different from the ones I've seen before?" he whispered to himself.

Upon closer inspection, one can also notice some subtle differences between the Solari that appears here and the ones before; in general, they are...
I feel quite clean, and both my weapons and armor are brand newer than before.

"!"

A thunderbolt struck Hervi's mind. Could it be...?
Solal's journey is still relatively early!

"Excuse me, have you ever been to Urasiru or Anor Londo?"

“Urasir? That is a kingdom that has long been destroyed in the abyss. How could I possibly find a way to get there unless time is reversed? As for Anor Londo, that abode of the gods is my destination.”

Sure enough, my guess was right!

After getting the answer from Solar, Herve couldn't help but slam his fist in his hand; he had really guessed right!
If the Disheartened Guy and the Fat Priest weren't particularly noteworthy in the eyes of others, then Solal practically had "I am very important" written all over his body, shining like an SSR in the eyes of the Starfire Knights.

They naturally began asking each other a barrage of questions, seizing every opportunity to gather information.

If Gong Qiying hadn't completely omitted certain lines from the script, they probably would have even been able to find out what brand of paint was used to paint the sun on Solal's chest.

But after asking around, it seemed that all they could get out of Solar were things that everyone already knew: where he came from, his purpose, and his friendliness and enthusiasm. In the end, perhaps triggering some kind of Easter egg, he even gave everyone a Sun Badge.

They've even started distributing materials; this makes it feel more like a stamp collecting event at a comic convention.

Just then, Hervé suddenly realized something and quickly reached into his breastplate, repeatedly rummaging for something.

Solal suddenly started rummaging through his bag, and the two men's movements became eerily synchronized, until finally—

"By the way, Solar, I just got a painting after killing a wyvern. Could you take a look at it for me?"

"Speaking of which, I found a magical painting on my way here, I wonder if you guys know about it?"

As Solal and Herve moved in perfect sync, they simultaneously raised their hands, each holding something light and airy, and the object in their hands snapped together.

Those are respectively 【Painting World "Dragon Hunter Knight" Part 1】 and 【Painting World "Dragon Hunter Knight" Part 2】!
The two halves of the painting automatically merged together the moment they touched, and the next moment, the painting burst forth with a dazzling light like a thunderbolt.

Hervé suddenly felt an irresistible attraction coming from the painting!

"Wait a minute! This is so sudden!"
