I want to be a faded person for life

Although the bedroom in the Round Table Hall is a more suitable place for rest, this initial base still gives her an irreplaceable sense of security.

In addition, there are some things that are not convenient to do in the Round Table Hall.

Xiangzi walked back and forth in circles in the church.

It's really not time for her to meet Deng yet.

It wasn’t because Xiangzi’s boring self-esteem had risen again.

But she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to come back safely after she went there.

This is not because of fear of death - of course, there may be a little bit of that factor.

However, if he was really captured and imprisoned, no one would be able to solve the problem with the lamp in the future.

Even if the future Lamp becomes the King of Elden and returns to Earth with her.

What finally returns to Earth is just a soulless puppet and a decayed insect monster—and by then, perhaps even more tragic things will happen.

Given Deng's ability and mental state, it wouldn't be surprising if she turned all the band members and their favorite things into cocoons and dragged them into the nest to store them away.

——The world won’t end just like that, right?

Xiangzi couldn't help but have such an absurd idea.

She tried to call Oblivionis, but Miss Oblivionis was sleeping soundly. The gentle rhythm of the Source Stone told her that she was still alive.

It seems that we can’t point fingers at OB, the letter lady, to save the day again.

Now I can only rely on myself - fortunately, Toyokawa Shoko is actually quite good at dealing with this kind of situation.

The brain starts to work.

I have to admit that in magic battles, I am no match for Deng.

Although Oblivionis can rely on his own magic power to match the lamp for a short period of time, or even suppress it.

But she absolutely couldn't do it with her current self, not even if she swallowed pyroxene powder like before - before she could get close to the essence of the starry sky and reach the level of a lamp, the knowledge beyond her tolerance would turn her into a magician block.

As a magician, she was far inferior to the lamp or Miss Oblivionis.

So what about close combat?

To be honest, the melee ability that Deng had shown before was not very good. Even considering those sharp insect limbs, it was nothing to be afraid of.

It can be judged from his posture and movements that Deng is a complete amateur as a fighter.

As long as he could close the distance enough, there was a chance of winning - even if it meant hurting Deng, he had to do it.

The essence of the other party's life now is source pyroxene, and causing damage to the external body will not cause irreparable consequences.

Xiangzi recalled the last time they met, the gravity field that made him kneel on the ground and unable to move.

Is this the problem after all? ...

The girl bit her fingertips until they bled, but she was completely unaware.

Is there any way to move freely under such gravity?

Xiangzi suddenly remembered the lion hybrid that could continue to fight unaffected even with bent bones... What special ability was given to the Sword Skeleton Greatsword?

Xiangzi, whose thoughts were about to reach a dead end, was suddenly attracted by a loud noise. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw the wandering merchant tying up several bags that usually contained goods.

By the way, it seems that Kale is not playing that erhu-like instrument today.

In fact, Xiangzi has never liked Kale's music. The wandering businessman only plays the same music every time.

Although the tune was melodious, Xiangzi could only hear endless despair and loneliness behind the song.

If music is the cry of the heart, then Kale's music is the sigh of a dying person in the grave.

There is no hope, desire or other positive emotion.

It was just the last few gasps of a dying person, and then he quietly waited for death.

"Cary, why are you packing?"

The wandering merchant piled the tied packages together, covered them with red cloth, and piled them near the skinny donkey.

"Oh, I was just going to tell you that."

The wandering trader has already packed up his belongings.

"I plan to leave Nimgefu in a while."

"I've sold most of my goods, and I need to collect some new stuff. After all, a wandering merchant should wander around... Plus, you said Nimgefu is becoming dangerous, so that might be one of the reasons."

"So sudden?"

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, but this was not a bad thing and there was no need to keep him.

Come to think of it, Kale was probably the first person she persuaded to leave Nimgefu.

"It's not just that. Mainly, I can't seem to get any more information about the large caravan in Nimgefu. I plan to go north to Lienia."

Speaking of Lienia, Xiangzi has actually always planned to go there, but was delayed due to various things.

"As for Burke, since you've already been to the Round Table, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just let him stay there as a tailor."

"You can continue to use the tools I left here. If we're lucky, we'll see you in Lienia, dear customer."

As he said this, Kale seemed to remember something and took another musical instrument from the wall behind him.

"This is for you, since you seem to be very interested in music."

It was a handmade instrument that was somewhat similar to a violin.

Chapter 48 Blood Nobles

Xiangzi never thought that he would have the opportunity to come into contact with musical instruments after arriving at the border area.

Although she herself was not very good at playing the violin, the handmade products of Kale could not compare with the expensive goods in the specialty stores on Earth.

But when she stroked the somewhat rough neck of the guitar, she still felt a little dazed.

It was as if time had gone back, and I had returned from the dangerous borderland to my hometown, back to the beautiful, carefree days of the past.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

The girl lowered her head and thanked him sincerely.

"There's no need to be so grand. It's not something valuable."

Kale put his hat down and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"But it's good like this."

-

Burke was not in the Church of Eile. According to the wandering merchant, the demihuman tailor would occasionally go out like this under the cover of night to look for some textile materials.

Therefore, after Kale left, Xiangzi was the only one left in the church.

She sat on the broken wall and stared at the flickering bonfire on the ground. Now she could see in the dark and didn't care about such a slight temperature change.

But Xiangzi still kept the bonfire going and did not let it go out, as if this would fill the abandoned church, which had become a little empty, with firelight.

After thinking about it, Xiangzi took the piano made by Jialie.

Since I have to wait for someone here, I have to find something to do to pass the time.

After a few attempts, she was able to tune the instrument correctly. It seemed that after her physical ability increased significantly, the time it took to master the instrument was shortened.

When the bow is pulled, the sheep gut strings produce a beautiful sound.

"Hehehe, hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe..."

The girl uttered a few muffled nasal sounds, but the sound did not travel farther from the church.

Although I haven't tried it for a long time, the melody is still as familiar as before, as if it is engraved into my muscles and bones.

Xiangzi's face suddenly changed. He put down his bow and turned to look at a corner of the church.

Two pools of sticky blood appeared in the corner of the Ailei Church, and a figure dripping with blood slowly stood up from the blood pool.

The first person to appear in the Elei Church was a female knight dressed in strange clothes.

She wore a black iron helmet that covered her face, revealing only her bright red lips and small white chin. Her leather scarf was decorated with large feathers dyed bright red.

Only her thighs and wrists were covered with metal armor plates, the rest of her body was covered with light leather armor.

The most eye-catching thing about the female knight is her cloak shaped like a bat's wings with sharp claws and bone spikes at the end, and the strange long-handled weapon in her hand with blades at both ends.

Xiangzi took a few more glances at the female knight's cloak. It seemed to be made of a biological material she had seen before - probably processed dragon skin or wing membrane.

Following closely behind was a figure wearing a red and black hooded robe. The robe was embroidered with extremely gorgeous gold thread. Such a conspicuous style allowed Xiangzi to recognize the other party's faction at a glance.

The two people who appeared before him were undoubtedly the reinforcements from the Blood Dynasty mentioned by the old knight Ampach.

Xiangzi had been waiting for them to show up at the Ailei Church. After all, these people could not appear in the Round Table Hall, and his other strongholds in Nimgefu were not a secret.

"You seem very strong."

The female knight who was staring at Xiangzi suddenly spoke, and slowly half-crouched down and put the long-handled double-edged sword behind her back - this should be the starting move of some special fighting skills.

Her voice was cold, but beneath that coldness lay a fervor like dragon flame.

"Stop it, I have no interest in fighting you here."

Xiangzi put away the instrument and put the medal of the Pure-Blood Knight on his finger.

Another blood noble patted the female knight's shoulder, then instantly flew back a distance, which allowed him to successfully avoid the sword blade that almost brushed his throat.

It was as if the blood nobles had already guessed that the other party would have such a reaction.

"Don't touch me from behind."

The female knight slowly retracted her weapon.

"Now is not the time to fight and infight, Lady Eleonora."

The Blood Noble took a few steps back helplessly. His hood collapsed, revealing his pale skin. The black hood was cut into two pieces by the sword.

The noble then realized that the madman in front of him was not serious, otherwise he would have had half of his face cut off.

He quickly added another sentence.

"Our purpose this time is to obtain the skins of the people at the bottom of Stonewell. The exchange with colleagues can wait until the task is completed. This is also the intention of our Lord Mung..."

"Whether it's Monger's intention or Ampah's, I'll give you one more chance to tell the truth."

The female knight called Eleonora showed no sign of being overwhelmed by the name, but instead pressed forward and asked.

The noble who was forced to retreat again raised his hands and retreated to the corner of the wall.

"Yes...it was the instruction of Lord Ampah."

"His Majesty Mung hasn't left the cocoon for a long time, and Lord Ampah was the only spokesperson designated by His Majesty, so what I said is not a lie."

Eleonora slowly put down the double-headed sword with a bright red blade, which made the blood nobles breathe a sigh of relief.

"This should be Mr. Dolan."

"Yes, it's me."

Xiangzi lied without batting an eyelid. After all, even Dolan herself had no objection to her borrowing this identity.

Xiangzi, who had been watching the two people's performance just now, still did not leave the broken wall, but just showed the Pure Blood Knight Medal in his hand.

"That's great. Let me introduce you first—"

The Blood Noble nodded. It was obvious that he was the one responsible for communication in this operation.

"I am Sir Giovanni, serving His Majesty, and this is Lady Eleonora, the 'Pure Purple Blood Fingers.' We are here to provide support under the orders of His Excellency the Knight Commander."

"I want to know how far Lord Dolan has progressed with the battle in Stonewell."

Xiangzi brought out the excuse he had prepared long ago.

"Stonewell has become a dead city. Even with you guys, it would be difficult for the three of us to reach the bottom floor."

"However, the Round Table will soon launch a major operation against Stonewell. They have a large number of people and experience dealing with the Deadborn, making them a good partner."

"I'm involved too. You just need to change your appearance a little and appear as my reinforcements."

Although Sir Giovanni did not understand, he was deeply shocked.

Although he had heard that one of his own members seemed to have infiltrated the Round Table Hall, he did not expect that the other party had gained the trust to participate in an operation of this scale and seemed to have considerable say.
