Fire girl, join the chat group

Looking at the junction map hanging on the wall, the Fireproof Woman's eyes gradually focused on a castle located in the southwest of the junction.

Stonewell Castle is located at the junction of Liyenia and Nimgfor in the west. After the bridge breaks, it is the only passage leading to Liyenia above.

The Fireproof Girl didn't really care about the strategic position of Stonewell's castle. She had a dragon army and a bonfire teleportation. The army's marching operations were not affected by the terrain. If she really wanted to go to the Golden Tree, she could just fly there.

What the Fireproof Girl cares about is a king of fragments in Stonewell City.

Well, I'll go and ask Ashes and the others about their progress tomorrow.

After finishing her official duties, having a meal, and reading a book for a while to soothe her spirit tortured by the sages, the fireproof woman glanced at the darkening sky outside the castle, and threw herself on the soft bed .

Take a break and leave the rest to your tomorrow self.

Chapter 2 Melina of Nimgfu

"How many people are there?"

"Five, just a simple camp."

"That would be much easier—Toret, come on!"

The faded man didn't move at all, he called softly, and the horse with long horns on its crotch seemed to understand people's words, snorted, and rushed out like the wind.

The energy glowing with purple light poured out from the hand, pulling up the rubble on the ground and condensing it into a stone gun.

puff!

The tip of the spear was like a flexible snake head. When these soldiers had time to stand up from the ground in the future, they got into the gaps in their armor, and the blunt point pierced one body after another.

Hey!

Stringing together the originally scattered fighters, the gravity magic worked, crushing their muscles and bones, and the dim golden fireflies flowed out from their shattered bodies.

The faded person threw it away, and the spears that lost the maintenance of gravity magic and gradually became fragile engulfed the corpses of these soldiers and fell along with the cliff, falling into the cemetery below, in order to prevent these undead warriors from coming back to life to disturb them anytime soon. .

When she came to the side of the bonfire, she could clearly see the golden glow. Ashes sat down cross-legged, stirred the mush in the hanging stove, put it to one side in distaste, and touched the food that faded people liked to eat behind her. , put on the grill.

"Is this what you call blessing points?"

"Yes."

The golden glow lit up, and in this place where the golden blessings gathered, faint light spots gathered, turning into a young girl in a traveling cloak.

She looked at the faded man who was riding Torret and having fun on the grass, and commented like this.

"Excellent fighter."

Ashes cast a glance at the girl who inexplicably appeared by her side, and thought that this elusive appearance was very much like the fireproof girl who had learned how to teleport a bonfire.

The name of the girl in front of me is Melina.

After Ashes and the Faded Ones came to Ningmgfort, they first encountered a translucent ship that could drive skeletons. Ashes tried to use a spell, and burned the thing cleanly, leaving only A root full of death.

Passing through the village where only skeletons remained, they walked along the overgrown road and came to the checkpoint, only to find that these soldiers were all demented just like what they met in Gelid.

Moreover, they had extraordinary hostility towards the faded ones, so Ashes and the faded ones obeyed the order of the fire-fighting woman not to cause trouble, changed their route, and came to the south of Ningmgfu.

After passing through a group of soldiers who were extremely hostile to the Faded Ones, and beheading a black-clad cavalryman on a lake bridge, Ashes and his party found a communicable existence among the ruins.

But unfortunately, that mage didn't seem to be the real one either. Apart from being willing to teach them the magic knowledge of the junction, he also didn't know much about the outside world. In desperation, the two left a bonfire there and set off again.

Walking around the lake in the middle of Ningmgfu, they first cut down a fire-breathing flying dragon, and then cut down a golden knight at the gate of a cemetery. They returned to the pass, and ended up in a Under the city tower, I met this elusive girl.

To be precise, it was the girl who came to her on her own initiative, and it was said that the reason was that the horse named Torret liked the fader very much.

Well, that's the one the fader is riding now.

In the beginning, Ashes was very wary of this elusive guy, because she couldn't see the person in front of her very clearly, so of course she refused her request.

But this young girl is really indomitable, every time they pass by there will come up to ask.

Her purpose was to hope that someone would take her back to the foot of the golden tree, which was consistent with Lothric's purpose. After discussing with the fire prevention woman, she agreed to Melina's request.

The reward is that Melina will perform the duties of a witch. To put it bluntly, it is to give guidance to the faded and turn rune into power, which is very similar to the duties of the fire prevention woman.

But compared to Torret, who was gifted to the faded ones from the beginning, this is not very attractive.

After sizing up Melina's slightly thin figure and her face that had never shown any extra expressions, Ashes turned the grill silently.

"Further ahead, it is the location of the golden king, but before that, you have to go through a test, that is the hero who shined in the Broken War Bell."

Folding her hands, hiding it under the cloak, Melina reminded Ashes.

"uh-huh?"

Compared to the dull faded person who only knows how to fight, this slightly noble lady in front of him is much more difficult to deal with, and the team of the two is usually decided by Ashes.

"It has been a long time since the shattering of the Dharma Ring and the end of the war. The Fading Ones have become weaker due to the weakening of blessings, and the demigods are still living in the Great Rune, waiting for the challenges of the Fading Ones."

"Many faders lost their faith during the long and futile time clock. Most of them chose not to perform their duties. They also lost their blessings and could no longer see the golden light."

"Nowadays, faded people who can see blessings and guidance are extremely rare."

The young girl seems to understand the current world situation very well, and she is also very clear about the powerful existence there.

"So, you hope that we can maintain our determination to see the ring."

"Yes, especially after the setback."

Melina said in a low voice that she was not optimistic about Ashes and his party rushing directly to Stoneville Castle where the Golden King was after learning the exact news.

"Is that why you don't like us?"

Ember was happy.

Well, in order to prevent unnecessary troubles, she did not show too much strength along the way with the Faded One, usually relying on melee combat to solve problems.

It is understandable that Melina has doubts about the gap between them and the demigods.

"You have proficient skills, but demigods can't be resisted by mere skills."

It's been a long time since Melina has met a Faded One who was able to see the Blessing.

She didn't want the two faders to retreat because of difficulties, and she didn't want them to fall into the hands of the golden king who was not friendly to faders.

"I hope that you can explore the land, accumulate runes, wait until you are strong enough and fully prepared, and then come here to challenge the golden king."

"What if we have to go?"

"I'm just offering advice. If you still have the determination to see the ring, I will continue to perform my duties."

Melina whispered back.

"But before that, I hope that I can turn the rune in your body into power."

Chapter 2 Melina: Why can't it be strengthened?

Melina stretched out her palm, wanting to touch Ashes, but Ashes' body subconsciously froze, and after some hesitation, she stretched out her fingers and placed them on Melina's hand.

Melina's expression was as usual, she focused on pulling the power of blessing, and the next moment, Ashes felt that the rune that she had absorbed along the journey was being pulled, and wanted to blend into her body.

Roar, this is no different from strengthening the soul.

Ashes didn't respond and let Melina manipulate it. However, when Rune finished the extraction and tried to strengthen this body that had been tempered for thousands of years, he encountered unprecedented obstacles.

Guiding Rune to strengthen the faders sounds like a simple matter.

Let the blessing of gold flow into the limbs and bones of the faded, increase the strength, make the eyes sharp, make the spirit strong, so that the descendants of the warriors can continue to grow stronger until they can gain the power to fight against the king.

Obviously, according to memory, it is a very simple matter, but why did it become like this?

Rune, who was being guided, seemed to hit an impenetrable wall, unable to move forward no matter what, this body was like the roundest creation, and Rune couldn't find any gaps in it, let alone Delusions filled it.

Melina's usual plain complexion fluctuated, and she tried again, but it still had no effect. It was not until the constant attempts burdened her that she gasped slightly and stopped.

"What's the matter, can't you?"

Ashes could feel the exhaustion of the other party, and also found that the strange energy in the body lay down obediently after working for a while.

"Indeed, no."

A man can't say no, but Melina is a girl, facing Hui Hui's doubts, she admitted it openly.

"I'm sorry, it's my first time doing this kind of thing, and I'm not proficient in it, and I don't know why your body is like an impenetrable wall, rejecting Rune's strengthening, please give me a little I'll figure it out in a little while."

"Is that so?"

Ashes was thoughtful, and had a guess in his heart.

Probably the energy possessed by the rune itself is no longer enough to bring about improvement.

But she didn't say much, the two parties are just a cooperative relationship, Melina gave them guidance, they took Melina to the Golden Tree, and the transaction was very easy, even if Melina can't do anything, it doesn't matter, just treat it as It's a pet that can tell stories.

Regarding Rune strengthening, even if you have saved enough, isn’t there a fireproof girl?

"You should also take a good rest, after all, you will face many tests in the future."

Little did he know that his position in Ashes' heart had slipped from a tour guide to a pet who could tell stories, Melina advised.

"Don't worry about the enemy, the blessing will cover your breath and provide you with protection."

"Ah."

Averting her gaze from Melina's burnt hand, Ashes nodded slightly, turning the grill above the campfire.

Compared with the blessing of the radiance, Ashes still felt that the bonfire could give her more warmth.

Ashes wanted to lie down, as if feeling the warmth of the sun in Rodland's spare time, but unfortunately the reality was not as she wished.

The wind is flowing, blowing the blades of grass, and what is projected in the sky is the light of the golden tree, which can only bring light to the world, and it can only feel cold when it shines on the body.

"I'm really not used to the absence of the sun."

Ember turned over and faced the burning bonfire.

"Beyond the sea of ​​fog, can you see the sun?"

Melina asked aloud. She failed to perform her duties and was trying to find a topic, as if she wanted to draw a little relationship between the two parties.

"of course."

Pulling the charcoal fire, Ashes did not deny it.

'Not only can you see it, but you can also touch it. '

"That is our faith, which brings us light and heat, and guides us on the way forward."

"Is that so?"

Melina understood, she could feel Ashes' emotions, and the respect from the heart didn't seem fake.

"Do the faded people outside the sea of ​​fog have other beliefs?"

"Aren't you the same?"

Ashes didn't choose to answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "As far as I know, you also believe in the existence of flames and dragons."

"That's true, but if it's at the junction, try not to mention the flame."

Melina didn't have a deep understanding of the so-called beliefs, and she forgot a lot about her mission. However, since the Faded Ones are already active in the borderlands, it is necessary to remind them.

"Why do you say that?"

Ashes frowned, is there anyone who doesn't like flames?

"The golden tree is sacred, and in the borderland ruled by the golden law, the flame of faith is heresy."

"The dragon and the golden tree turned enemies into friends, because what they control is the thunder in the sky, and the gods have disappeared, so the golden tree can naturally accept it."

"But the flame—the fader, no matter how powerful the golden tree is, it is still a tree. The most feared thing about a tree is the powerful flame."

Melina seriously explained to Ashes the importance of believing in the sun in the junction.

"And the sun, the sun that hangs high in the sky and is obscured by dark clouds and trees, has the most blazing flame in the world, and is the most terrifying evil god under the golden belief."

'Ah, why is Su'er an evil god everywhere? '

Ashes suddenly became speechless. The last time he went to Tallulana, he was regarded as an evil god by the local gods, and it was the same thing when he went to Soybean Milk Baidao.

Hui Hui pondered for a while, or let her be the one to appear before the people, the stars are not necessarily evil gods, right?
