Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 12 The Old Knight

After gathering a wealth of information, Lu Mingfei, under the tutelage of Emiya Shirou, used the severed finger knife to send him back to his original world.

Subsequently, Lu Mingfei found Burke's sewing tools without much effort, but in the process, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a passage behind the cave where these demi-humans lived!

The most enjoyable thing about playing games is discovering new maps.

Lu Mingfei quickly returned to the Blessing Point to return the sewing tools, made some preparations, and set off again.

Because the demi-humans in the cave had been completely wiped out, the exploration went smoothly. Apart from one or two demi-humans left in the cave passage, there were no other enemies.

Not far after they had gone further, Lu Mingfei could faintly see the light at the entrance of the cave.

If you continue forward, the view will suddenly open up.

A small island appeared before Lu Mingfei's eyes, and looking across the sea to the opposite shore, he saw the beach where the coastal cave was located.

Lu Mingfei never imagined that the road to the island was hidden in a cave.

He put away his torch, re-equipped himself with a sword and shield, and cautiously began to walk along the coastline.

There were no soldiers.

There are no demi-humans.

The island was quiet, with only a few deer and seabirds.

Blessings are located not far from the exit.

After lighting up the blessing, Lu Mingfei looked at the broken walls and ruins in the center of the island.

This world is declining; the buildings here have all become ruins, and apart from butchers, there are no ordinary humans walking on the earth.

This deserted island must have once been an important religious site, but with the destruction of the Dharma Ring, its glory has long since faded.

How sad.

It seems there won't be any survivors.

Lu Mingfei shook his head and walked towards the ruins.

The layout here is quite similar to that of the Islay Church, but the faiths of the deities here are completely different.

The Church of Islay is dedicated to the goddess of gold, Marika, and here...
A huge, lifelike dragon statue sits there.

The scattered objects on the ground are mostly dragon-shaped sculptures.

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to breathe a sigh of relief, something in front of the altar-like stone sculpture made his hair stand on end.

With just one glance, Lu Mingfei was so frightened that he almost ran away on the spot.

It was a terrifying knight, over two meters tall, with a burly build, and covered in gleaming silver heavy armor.

The dragon on his helmet was clearly visible, and his armor was covered with intricate thorn patterns. There was a raised horn on his right shoulder.

The old armor was covered in knife marks and dents, looking like it had been through many hardships.

Behind him were two long and wide swords.

He knelt in front of the altar, seemingly praying.

However, despite his immobility and silence, the oppressive aura emanating from him was almost tangible, intimidating all around.

What are the Knights of Grik and the orcs of Famyazra compared to him? They're nothing but farts!
Lu Mingfei had no doubt that this tall knight could smash his head with a single punch.

So he backed off.

Lu Mingfei retreated slowly, step by step, without making a sound.

Click.

whoosh-

Snapped.

Lu Mingfei's face was pressed intimately against the ground.

Feeling lost and helpless.

what happened?
He was pinned down?

All of this happened so fast and so suddenly that Lu Mingfei had barely reacted.

Before his brain could even register the warning, his sword in his right hand and shield in his left were disarmed one after the other. Then, he was thrown to the ground by a tremendous force, unable to move.

“I thought that after the generals under the Storm King died or scattered, I would be the only one left to come here.” An old man’s voice came from inside the helmet.

He looked at the royal army straight sword in Lu Mingfei's hand and the soldier's armor on his body, and let out a cold laugh:
"So they're Greed's henchmen. They've managed to infiltrate this area; quite impressive."

Lu Mingfei clearly felt the hand pressing down on his back begin to exert force, as if it wanted to pin him down and kill him right there.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... Merciful sir! Merciful sir! I was just an unknown fading soul passing by, and I only took a few clothes from the corpse to wear!"
It has absolutely nothing to do with that old, ugly demigod in Stonewell! I swear to the goddess Malica!

The old knight paused for a moment, then reacted and said coldly:
"You dare to fool me. Kid, don't think I don't know that the Faded Ones are a bunch of lawless bastards who disrespect the gods."

Your oath is utter nonsense, complete rubbish!

Despite his words, Lu Mingfei could still feel the pressure behind him gradually lessening.

"Hero! Hero! I am truly a faded one!"

I only found this place by accident after fighting my way through that cave on the opposite shore!

"Kill through? You?"

The old knight sneered.

"The demi-humans in that cave have long wanted to settle here, but because I often come to maintain it, they are afraid of me and dare not take a step out."

However, it is not an easy task for one person to defeat them.

you."

After saying this, the old knight released his grip.

"Forget it, let's go."

Lu Mingfei stood up abruptly, rolled away on the spot, and gripped his sword tightly.

“That does look somewhat like it,” the old knight shook his head. “Let’s go. The Dragon’s Feast Church is not a place for outsiders.”

You should be glad I'm tired of killing.

"Dragon Feast Church?!"

Lu Mingfei exclaimed in surprise, and only after looking around did he realize what was happening.

With so many dragon-related elements, what else could this be but the Dragon Offering Church?
The old knight stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes through his armor.

His eyes, already tinged with an ancient gold from Lu Mingfei's fluctuating emotions, were now filled with a deep, ethereal light.

The old knight sensed the familiar source of power and slowly said:

"I see. So you too are one who seeks the Dragon's Feast."

No, that's not right.

He suddenly widened his eyes, and to get a better look, he took off his helmet, revealing a weathered, angular face.

Although his features were deeply lined, they were still handsome, and it wasn't hard to imagine that the old knight had been a ruggedly handsome man in his youth. His long, gray hair was unkempt, dry, and split, and his aged eyes were full of weariness.

At this moment, the old knight's face, which had been as still as water, seemed to come alive, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Mingfei.

"You said you're a faded one?"

"Yes."

Lu Mingfei shrank back, ready to make a run for it if things went wrong.

"Have you performed a dragon feast?"

The old knight continued to press for answers.

"No."

Lu Mingfei shook his head.

The old knight was momentarily stunned, his eyes glazed over.

"I thought I'd met a living ancient dragon..."

He could no longer control his emotions, and grabbed Lu Mingfei by the collar, looking him straight in the eye.

In a panic, Lu Mingfei raised his straight sword to stab—
