The King of Elden does not die alone!

Kale watched with great curiosity.

"You are...ah, never mind, it's a trade secret, I know that too."

"I need to buy some more things."

"What are you buying?" Kale held the purse and waited for Mia to finish shopping before checking out together.

Mia went to Kale to buy some food.

Although Mia had some money, there wasn't much food that Curry could sell.

There were only a few pieces of jerky.

And water.

Along with the water, Mia bought a crack pot.

'Even if it is broken, it will be restored to its original shape. This is the container needed to make pot-like items.'

It is very convenient to use it to hold water or other liquids.

From the beginning of the time travel until now, Mia has not eaten anything and has not had a drop of water.

Although she could prolong her life by touching the blessing, it couldn't change the fact that Mia hadn't eaten for a long time.

It can’t be said that I’m hungry, it can only be said that I’m greedy.

Wilden took the jerky and sat on a fallen stone pillar, chewing it quietly.

Mia looked at him and asked curiously, "What did you eat when you were trapped in the cave?"

"We've eaten all the food a long time ago." Wilden used his teeth to tear off strips of meat from the tough jerky. "But even if we don't eat, we won't die. We'll just be hungry."

"Just hungry?"

Mia felt that this was a very cruel statement.

"It seems," Kalie rubbed his hands beside the campfire and interrupted, "many of those wandering dignitaries went crazy because of hunger."

Because he was so hungry, but couldn't die, and because he couldn't die, he had to endure the most excruciating hunger.

“Why… not grow food?”

Mia looked down at the vibrant green grass at her feet.

Is this place very dry?

"Farming?" Kale snorted. "They're all going to war! Those shard kings, in order to become the King of Elden, put everything into the war and didn't even have business to do. Farming? Even if they're hungry, they won't starve to death. It's better to recruit one more soldier."

Mia lowered her head silently and took a bite of the jerky.

"Gu..."

It tasted so bad. There was no seasoning except salt. The fishy smell of the beast meat rushed through Mia's mouth without any cover-up.

Her little face turned blue before she successfully swallowed that bit of meat.

"The rest is yours." Mia stuffed all the jerky into Wilden's hands.

It's not an exaggeration to describe this kind of thing as 'life-sustaining stuff'. Mia's urge to eat something just now was suppressed on the spot.

Wilden did not refuse and put away all the dried meat that Mia bought.

Kale looked at the two of them and said, "Come to think of it, you Faded Ones who came back from outside the border area are aiming to become the King of Elden, right?"

Mia nodded.

"If you really become the King of Elden, you..." Kale said, and suddenly paused.

He shook his head: "Forget it, that's not what I want to talk about."

Then he changed the subject: "It looks like you two are going on a long journey. I have some tools here that can be used in the wild to aid survival."

The wandering merchant took out a rather bulky leather bag from his bag.

"Medicine mortars, cutting boards, knives and other very useful tools. Of course, there are more than just these. They will definitely come in handy when camping in the wild."

"Since we've been chatting for a while, I'll give you a discount. I'll sell it to you for 300 Runes. How about that?"

"Okay."

Later that day, Mia lit another bonfire inside the church using flint and steel from her tool bag.

Although the church is dilapidated, it can at least shelter people from the wind and provide a place for them to rely on in the wilderness.

Just hope it doesn't rain.

Some time after nightfall, Mia dug out the sleeping mat she found in the school cave.

Looking at the cloth that would turn into powder if rubbed at the edge, Mia briefly recalled the days before her reincarnation.

What can we do? We have to move forward.

"Hey--"

He let out a long sigh and lay down on the sleeping mat. The ground was covered with soft grass that he had collected nearby. Although it was not very comfortable, it was not uncomfortable to sleep on either.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Mia saw Wilden sitting on the ground leaning against a pillar, with some of his weapons still on him.

"Someone has to keep watch, right?"

Mia looked to the side and saw that Kale had already gone into his twig tent, and the wandering merchant's donkey was lying on the ground with its ears flailing.

"OK then."

Mia acquiesced to Milden's actions and lay down again.

Looking at the starless night sky, after going through so much, she finally had time to think carefully about her situation.

The girl couldn't sleep because of memories of the past and worries about the future.

This was the first time in her life...or two lives, that she was camping in the wild.

Maybe a little insecurity?

Mia forced herself to close her eyes and fell into a not-so-beautiful dream amid the crackling sound of the bonfire.

After an unknown amount of time, Mia opened her eyes.

The bonfire has gone out, but the long night continues.

The girl sat up and looked around in confusion. It was as if a veil was covering her face and everything was foggy.

It was not until she stood up that she realized the mist was only floating below her knees.

It was as if she had entered a fairyland, with a refreshing fragrance lingering around her nose.

But, this is indeed the Church of Eile.

Kale was lying in his little tent, with only his feet exposed, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly.

Wilden, who said he would keep watch, leaned against the wall with his eyes closed.

what happened?

"Faded One, please come here."

A soft, ethereal voice penetrated the mist and reached Mia's ears.

Following the sound, I saw a woman sitting on the broken wall of the church.

Wearing a white robe and a wide pointed hat.

In this way, even if she doesn't reveal her name, people can know that she is dressed as a witch.

"At times like this..."

Mia woke up for unknown reasons and was still a little dazed, so she followed the woman's words.

Standing under the low wall, Mia saw that her face was not the flesh color of ordinary humans, but a deep blue like the ice in the polar regions. She also had four hands, playfully exposed from under the thick cloak, two placed on her knees, and two clasped in front of her chest.

Her face is as delicate as a doll, and people of all genders will be attracted by her appearance and unable to look away. But the most unforgettable thing is her closed eye.

Mia walked over to the low wall and stared at her from below.

"Perhaps this is the first time we meet. I am the witch Reina."

The witch who called herself Reina took the initiative to speak.

"I heard that the unknown descendant has returned to the border. It took me some time to look for him. It seems to be you?"

"what?"

Mia frowned in confusion.

Is there something wrong with the lines? Why are they different from what I remember?

Moreover, the timing of the witch's appearance in front of him was also different from what he remembered.

The witch looked at her reaction and said, "Don't you know? Have you forgotten it, or has she never told you?"

"What does that mean?" Mia demanded.

Witch Reina did not answer, and continued to talk to herself: "I have something to pass on to you. It was entrusted to me by that person."

She stretched out her hand, holding a bell in one hand and a small box in the other: "This item is called the Soul Summoning Bell. It can summon souls from the ashes that have not returned to the Golden Tree. Those souls will temporarily recognize you as their master and recreate the way they fought in their lifetime..." After she finished speaking, she paused and said, "Use it as you wish."

After saying that, she placed the two items on the stone bricks beside her, obviously wanting Mia to take them herself.

"excuse me..."

Seeing that Reina was about to say her exit line, Mia spoke up without waiting any longer.

"What on earth did you just mean? What did I forget?"

Don't blame Mia for being so anxious.

Because she heard from Lena that her time travel seemed to have a deeper plan behind it.

"Perhaps she didn't tell you because she had her own considerations."

"Can you explain it more clearly?"

"That's all. I think we may meet again in the future. Until then, enjoy the taste of the borderland."

"Wait a minute, Lani—" Looking at Reina who had already said her exit words, Mia tried to keep her, even calling out the witch's real name.

She had too many doubts that had not been resolved.

The appearance of Lani directly dragged her into a mystery.

"Oh? It seems that you are not completely ignorant." But Lani just smiled with interest, but did not intend to stay. Her body began to disappear gradually: "I am looking forward to it. What will you choose to become?"

Witch Reina - Moon Princess Lani disappeared, leaving behind two things on the low wall.

Mia, on the other hand, was still in a confused state.

Riddles come one after another, but Lani is not an NPC.

It is impossible to say the next sentence after Mia has completely understood the previous one.

Mia felt like her brain capacity was reaching its limit.

Lani had been gone for a long time, but she was still pacing anxiously under the night sky.

'The unknown offspring...'

Are you talking about me?

'who is she?

Is there any hidden secret in my time travel?

"Offspring...offspring...she..."

"Whose offspring will I be?"
