From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

"Although I can't see the blessing, I think the direction it's pointing to right now must be the city of Stonewell on the cliff."

"That's the residence of the old, ugly demigod Greg 'Limb-Girdle'!"

"If you don't know which way to go, why not try your luck over there? You might be able to snatch the Great Rune from him!"

To the end.

Hehe, he laughed evilly.

Mengbai obtained a lot of useful information.

But I always feel that this guy has bad intentions and is even full of malice.

He was attacking himself while at the same time encouraging himself to go to Stonewell City. No matter how you look at it, he had bad intentions.

Mengbai began to think.

The adventurers outside were also talking about it.

"Greck the Limb-Greck?"

"A demigod with a fragment of the Ring?"

"It sounds like he's not easy to mess with!"

"What is the relationship between this limb-jointing demigod and the limb-jointing noble who ambushed us in the Princely Chapel?"

"From a geographical point of view, the Marquis Chapel is located on the small island west of Stonewell City. Most of the limb-replacing nobles are subordinates of this limb-replacing demigod... Even his subordinates are so fierce, they are really difficult to deal with!"

"..."

Mengbai couldn't get any more information from Fan Lei.

She then returned to Blessing to rest and begin planning.

Although challenging the limb-jointing Greg now would definitely be courting death, no matter what, we should first find a way to leave here and head to the vicinity of Stonewell City. There should be a larger settlement there.

"Friend, are you planning to head towards Stonewell City?"

At this time, a burly, dark-skinned, one-eyed man came over and looked at Mengbai with some pity in his eyes, because he had learned that this was a faded person who had lost his witch.

Meng Bai asked: "You are..."

"My name is Hoss, and like you, I'm also a Fader!"

The one-eyed man said, "My friend and I are heading to the Church of Eile. There's a larger camp there, and I heard the journey isn't peaceful. Why don't you join us?"

Could it be a trap?

Those who fade away come from all walks of life.

There is also competition in terms of ability.

Of course, there are some guys who specialize in hunting fellow hunters.

After a little thought, Mengbai finally decided to join. After all, as an adventurer he would not die.

She then quickly got to know the five faded ones led by Hoss. These people were all faded ones who had recently received blessings. Each of them had the strength of about first-level five stars, and everyone's level was similar.

As for their origins, they are different.

For example:

Hoss was once a reserve member of the Knights of Rodel and participated in the battle against hybrids in the Weeping Peninsula. His left eye was blinded by the poisonous claws of the hybrids. Later, he was expelled and died outside because of the "disappearance of the blessing".

There was also a woman in the team.

She was the stargazing apprentice "Sevilla", a young apprentice at a small observatory in the Lienya Lake District.

One day the stars suddenly stopped moving and the observatory was abandoned. The Academy War and the decline of the Kalia royal family forced him to leave. Finally, he was imprisoned and executed by the knights of the royal city for refusing to believe in the Golden Rule.

Mengbai was very puzzled.

This is not normal.

A prisoner who was executed for refusing the Golden Rule.

But now he has received the golden blessing and been resurrected?

Is anyone now eligible to pursue the King of Elden? It seems that after the shattering of the Elden Ring, some unknown problem has arisen in the laws that govern this land!

The other three also have their own origins.

Although everyone has their own stories and experiences.

But these people don't look like bad guys.

In any case, this world makes people feel particularly insecure. It is always more efficient to travel with someone than alone, and in the process you can also get to know them and the world better.

A few minutes later.

The six faders set out.

Airey Church is the only way to get to Stonevale.

The church is not far from this camp. It takes less than an hour to get there along the main road, but it will be longer if you take a detour. However, you may encounter various terrifying beasts, trolls, sea monsters, or murderous Kaidan mercenaries.

However, taking the main road also has risks.

Because recently there have been frequent groups of Faded Ones attacking Stonewell City. Although they cannot pose any threat to this mighty city, it has made Greg very annoyed, so he sent a lot of soldiers to clear out the Faded Ones nearby.

You might encounter Greg's soldiers on the main road.

Several Faded Ones discussed with each other and finally decided to take the main road. This place is far away from Stonewell, and the probability of Grek soldiers appearing is not high. Even if there are, their number should not be too many.

Mengbai joined the team and set off on the journey.

During this process, she obtained a lot of intelligence information from several of her partners.

Mengbai was becoming more and more shocked at this moment, because she had forgotten her identity several times. In a trance, she felt as if she had really become a faded person and a member of this world.

This world is too mysterious and too real.

It has immersive details and magic.

Mengbai didn't feel like he was exploring a secret place, but rather completely traveling into a story.

She had to admit that the secret realm of Miracle City was indeed powerful, and the lord's artistic and creative level was very high, simply to an amazing degree. And now it has just begun, and no one knows what discoveries will be made next.

The few of them advanced four or five kilometers.

There was no danger encountered during this process.

But just when everyone felt that they would arrive at Airey Church safely.

Suddenly, a dull sound of horse hooves came from the hillside in front, and then a huge golden figure leaped out from behind the hill, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

This is a heavily armored knight.

His entire body was covered in thick golden plate armor intricately carved with tree patterns and religious reliefs, and he wore a cloak with frayed edges and a golden tree emblem.

The warhorses he rode were all covered in armor, and he wore a barrel-shaped, full-coverage helmet with feathers or pointed horns on the top. Only the slits for the eyes were visible on his face, and his golden eyes were full of majesty.

"what is this?"

"This outfit is... the Tree Guardian!"

"They are clearly the knights guarding the Golden Tree. How could such beings appear in Nimgefu?"

Hoss's expression was shocked at first, then turned into horror, "Run!"

The tree guard had obviously discovered these faded ones a long time ago. His majestic golden eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the warhorse he was riding let out a high-pitched neigh, then rushed directly from the bottom of the hill.

fast!

too fast!

Every tree guard is a top knight.

Their powerful riding skills and top-notch warhorses are enough to easily catch up with any prey.

Meng Bai: "No, he's too fast. We can't escape on foot. We can only fight him to the death!"

She thought to herself: What is there to be afraid of? I am determined to become the King of Elden. It’s bad enough that I was defeated by an amputee noble who claimed to be a descendant of the Golden Clan, but now I am scared to run away when facing a tree guard. How can this be?

It's just a knight, right? Kill it!

The six-to-one advantage is mine!

Chapter 240 Golden Tree Shield

When the tree guard rushed down the hill with the force of thunder.

A single man on horseback is like a thunderclap, giving people a feeling of being an unstoppable army.

The Faded One realized that there was indeed no possibility for him to escape, and immediately wanted to form a formation to resist the attack, but it was too late to react at this time, because the Tree Guard was already very close.

"Block him!"

Mengbai realized that to deal with cavalry, especially this kind of heavily armored cavalry, he must first force the opponent to stop successfully. As the only faded person holding a shield, he has the responsibility to do so.

boom!

The impact didn't seem like that of a cavalryman.

More like a mammoth or a heavy dump truck.

Mengbai was knocked dozens of meters away, his internal organs were damaged and many bones were shattered. Although he was still breathing, he had lost most of his life and completely lost his combat effectiveness.

"This body... is still too weak!"

With the adventurer's current strength in the secret realm, resisting the tree guard head-on is not much different from trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

"kill!"

As a former reserve knight of Rodel and a veteran who has participated in many battles, Hoss is undoubtedly strong in actual combat.

When the tree guard knocked Mengbai away and his body paused slightly, he seized the opportunity to attack, raised the slightly rusty sword with both hands, stepped forward and slashed at the tree guard.

But what came towards him was a golden halberd more than three meters long.

On the broad halberd blade, runes engraved on it lit up one after another, emitting an indestructible aura.

An overwhelming and terrifying force shattered the greatsword as easily as destroying a piece of rotten wood. The remaining power tore through the old armor and fresh flesh, mercilessly splitting the weak and faded person in front of him into two halves.

Stargazer Sevilla's spell is ready.

He raised the staff that emitted brilliant blue light and drew a magic circle above his head.

With a sharp whoosh, a three-foot-long magic sword condensed into shape and flew at an extremely fast speed towards the tree guard that knocked Mengbai away and killed Huos.

The tree guard quickly raised the golden shield with a roaring animal head relief in his left hand.

At this moment, a large number of runes lit up on the shield, emitting a golden glow.

Fighting Skills——Golden Return!

The magic sword was bounced back by a powerful force field the moment it touched the shield, and pierced through Sevilla's heart at a speed faster than it was shot. Her pupils contracted and her face showed fear, and she finally fell down powerlessly.

Another one dies!

The tree guards appeared and immediately knocked one of them to pieces and killed two of them. The morale of the other three collapsed and they didn't care about anything else and fled in different directions.

"Hmph, you are indeed a group of honorless Faded Ones. Your ambition to meet the Elden Ring is an unforgivable blasphemy and a great sin!"

The tree guard dragged his bulky body and jumped two meters high and dozens of meters away, crushing a faded person to death on the spot.

The halberd chopped off another Faded One's head with the force of a hurricane.

The last Faded One was an agile thief who had escaped some distance.

The tree guard held the halberd in reverse and threw it out suddenly and quickly, piercing the faded one's body. The huge force first sent it flying for a distance and finally nailed it to a big rock.

So far, five of the six team members have died and one is injured!

Mengbai, as the only survivor, was already struggling to death and had no fighting power at all, but at this moment he stood up again. His broken bones repaired quickly and his injuries healed instantly at an astonishing speed.

"Imitation of a holy relic?!"

The tree guard discovered a red dewdrop holy grail bottle in the adventurer's hand.

Mengbai was also confused. After she was seriously injured and unable to move, the first thing she thought of was the Holy Grail. She just drank the red dew drops to recover from her injuries, but in just a few seconds, the other five teammates died.
