Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

“This is… the Firelink Shrine!” Lorian immediately recognized where he was and what the throne made by his younger brother represented.

"Lothric, don't be afraid, I'm coming right away!" Lorian shouted to Lothric to reassure him.

Just as he was about to attack the embers, Lothric's voice came from the throne.

"Brother Wang, please stop."

Lorian immediately stopped and looked at Lothric on the throne.

Lothric could clearly see the confusion in his eyes, but he had already made his decision.

He took a deep breath, and then his clear voice reached Lorian's ears.

"Brother Wang, I need to pass on the fire."

Lorian: ? ? ? ?

Chapter 28 Kevin: Didn't I say I'm from a 985 university? √√

Lorian initially believed that his younger brother had been bewitched, otherwise he would not have said that he wanted to link the fire, since it was the other party who first suggested not linking the fire.

After I woke up from my coma, the other party said they wanted to pass on the fire.

Unless Lorian has lost his mind, there's absolutely no way he could believe it.

Lorian questioned Ember, asking him what exactly he had done to his younger brother.

Ember calmly pointed to Lothric on the throne.

“If you talk to me, you definitely won’t believe me. Why don’t you go up and talk to your brother?”

Lorian strongly suspected that this was another conspiracy, and that the other party would allow him to act so freely.

However, when he cautiously approached the throne, he encountered no hindrance whatsoever.

He wanted to take his younger brother away immediately, but he was refused again.

He inquired about the reasons for the rejection and eventually received a blueprint—a hope he could never have imagined.

At this moment, Lorian fell silent. He understood why Lothric, who had always been unwilling to link the fire, would voluntarily remain in this position.

He saw the hope that was out in the open.

The flame is endless; no matter how long it lingers, it will eventually be extinguished. After learning some things, he and his brother chose to refuse to pass on the flame, waiting for the dark ages after the flame dies out.

This may seem like his choice, but it's really just a choice between two options.

One is a torch relay without hope, only despair.

The other is the Dark Ages leading to the unknown.

But what if there really is another way to save the world!

Lorian was willing to give everything for her!

He loved this country and its people, but he refused to pass on the torch because he saw no hope of doing so, and he loved his younger brother even more.

But now, with hope before him, he has to consider that this might be the only chance he ever has in his life!

I want to pass on the torch too!

"Great! I support you!" Yu Jin gave a thumbs up, while thinking to himself: Well, I'm pretty good at talking, huh?

Lorian handed the phone back to Kevin: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Kevin nodded, then walked over to Yu Jin's side and asked curiously.

"Just by sitting in those positions, can we pass on the fire?"

He had heard from Ember that linking the flame could continue the world, but seeing it with his own eyes for the first time still made him quite curious.

“To be more precise, only those with powerful souls can sit on it and pass on the fire, right?” Ember looked at Rudaus.

Rudaus nodded.

“In that case, I should be able to take Lothric’s place in this position,” Lorian said earnestly.

His younger brother is so delicate, how could he possibly be allowed to do the fire? It's only right that the eldest brother should be the one to pass on the fire!

As he said this, he ignored Lothric's attempts to stop him, picked him up, and sat on him.

Hmm...not bad.

Does it hurt? Actually, it hurts quite a bit, to the point that it would make an ordinary person kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

Flames were burning his bones, his flesh, and his soul.

But that's all there is to it.

Lorian has participated in countless wars, and he has suffered just as many injuries.

If he had given up because of the pain, Lorian would never have become the prince who was expected to be a hero.

"Brother! Stop! I am the chosen Lord of Cinder, I should be the one to do this!" Lothric said anxiously.

"No need for further words, Lothric. How long can your frail body hold out?"

"But......"

“There are no buts! I am the eldest prince of Lothric, the hero of Lothric! I cannot stand by and watch you sit in this position. Do not make me ashamed of myself, Lothric.”

Lothric was about to say something when Lorian interrupted him. He stared blankly at Lorian, whose expression was serious, one he had never seen before.

"......Yes."

Lothric lowered his head, like a wronged little wife.

Ember: "...The way they're doing this makes me look like a bad guy?"

“That’s hard to say,” Kevin shook his head, then looked at the Firelink Shrine.

"You'll be living here from now on?"

"What else?" Yu Jin retorted.

After Kevin roughly circled around, he smiled at Ember.

"Interested in renovating?"

ember:???

If hope gives people something to look forward to and gives them the courage to endure suffering, then a comfortable environment can also provide a degree of relaxation.

Although it depends on the person.

Kevin, as a modern person, is a programmer, but he still knows how to enjoy life.

Under the watchful eyes of Ember and the other three, Kevin moved large quantities of goods into this world in batches.

Ember stood in front of a large machine, looking left and right, before finally looking at Kevin, who was relieved, with a question.

"what is this?"

“A generator,” Kevin said matter-of-factly.

Looking at the huge pile of stuff, Yu Jin said in surprise, "You didn't sell a kidney for your brother, did you? Otherwise, how could a programmer like you be so rich?"

You're the one who sold your kidney!

Kevin retorted loudly, then smiled.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I've already achieved financial freedom."

"Holy crap, how is that possible? Didn't you say last time that you were just a lowly wage earner?" Yu Jin couldn't believe it.

“I’m an employee, but that doesn’t mean I can’t achieve financial freedom,” Kevin said, his smile gradually becoming more exaggerated.

"Quack! No! You're not going to sell your body, are you?! Turn around right now, Kevin!"

"Die!"

Feeling that this guy was about to blurt something out if I didn't explain, Kevin said, "It's a chat group, chat group points."

"In our world, you can get 20 kilograms of food for 100 yuan with just one point."

"So that's how it is. I knew it! How could you possibly achieve financial freedom so easily on your own? It was a chat group."

"You bastard! So that's what you care about!"

"What else?" Yu Jin said matter-of-factly.

"The thought of how outstanding my brother is makes me feel uncomfortable all over."

Kevin rolled his eyes.

"But it really is outrageous." Yu Jin stroked his chin, his previous guilt about Kevin spending so much money on him completely gone.

"One point equals 20 jin of money, that's enough to make you live a good life, but why is it so cheap?"

Kevin recalled the description of their own currency in the mall.

"It has a label, it's just a piece of useless paper, probably because if it's not recognized as currency, then its value is zero. The reason it's cheap is probably because the mall has its own standards for judging items."

"I never expected you to be so wise and clever!" Ember gave Kevin a thumbs up.

"Why do you make me sound like I'm stupid? I graduated from a top-tier university, after all." Kevin rolled his eyes.

Kevin's words struck Yu Jin like a thunderbolt through the top of his head.

"You...you're from a 985 university!"

"Yeah, didn't I say that?"

What nonsense are you spouting!

Yu Jin felt his status in the group was declining.

PhD: A high-IQ individual.

Star: A crew member on the Black Tower space station.

Kevin: A graduate of a 985 university.

Ember: ...Never mind.

Ignoring the completely stunned Ember, Kevin turned around and smiled.

I used to think "The Return of the Dragon King" was incredibly childish, but now Kevin just wants to say, "Awesome!"

After showing off, Kevin started working.

Kevin's world did not experience any so-called collapse, but even so, their world's technological creations were still very advanced.

Kevin, who was busy running around, watched Ember looking at the pile of items from left to right and said irritably, "Why don't you come and help, you rascal!"

"Here it comes, but how do we do this?"

Kevin tossed a light strip to Ember.

"You know how to run string lights, right? You can put them wherever you want."

"Mission accomplished!" After giving a military salute, Ember immediately pulled the light strip around the Firelink Shrine.

The three people on the throne looked at the two busy people with a puzzled expression, as if they didn't know what they were doing, but at the same time, they were also somewhat expectant.

They should always be curious about the unknown, or even things from another world.

When Ember finished pulling up the light strip, Kevin also set up a projector and called Ember over to help pull up a screen to a certain position.

"Done." After securing the items, Ember jumped down from the wall and clapped his hands.

"Alright, let's leave it like this for now." Kevin looked around at the setup, and although it was a bit simple, he nodded in satisfaction.

So he went to the engine and pressed a switch. Immediately, a slight whirring sound came from the air intake, as if gears were rapidly accelerating their rotation!

Soon, the light strips that the embers had placed earlier began to light up little by little, and soon the originally dim fire-linking sacrificial site became very bright.

The three people on the throne followed the light strip that was gradually illuminating. Just then...

“Your Highness Prince Lothric, would you please come here?” Kevin beckoned to Lothric, who was reclining beside the throne.

With a hint of curiosity, Lothric clasped his hands together, and in the next second, he transformed into a beam of light and vanished from his spot. At the same time, a light shone beside Kevin.

Lothric's figure soon came into view.

"Is this magic? It's quite fascinating," Kevin thought with some surprise.
