The King of Elden does not die alone!

"Hmm." Mia took the two seeds curiously.

Players have to collect the golden tree seeds in the game by themselves.

I didn't expect that after killing a hostile fader here, it would explode...

"If I just put this into the Holy Grail bottle, I can increase the number of uses, right?"

Even though she already knew the answer, Mia still asked in order to prevent any settings that she didn't know about from appearing.

"That's right." Melina nodded: "But you can also plant this seed."

"Wait a minute, you two." Patch suddenly interrupted, "Can you lend me a light?"

"Borrowing fire?"

"The invaders have been eliminated. I'm going to see if my stuff is still there," Patch replied. "If you want to find me, come to the innermost stone chamber later."

"Row."

Mia readily agreed.

I lit a torch for Patch, and Patch put on a shield and walked into the depths of the cave alone.

Mia and Melina then continue talking.

She looked at the round golden tree seeds in her hand, and her curiosity got the better of her:

“How should I plant?”

"As long as you find the right soil..."

“What kind of soil is suitable?”

Melina shook her head: "I don't know either. You have to find out for yourself."

"Ok."

It seems like I have dug a hole inadvertently.

I hate this kind of unclear stuff the most.

Pursing her lips, Mia threw two seeds into the blue holy grail bottle, leaving the remaining one in her personal space.

“It doesn’t seem to have increased.”

Mia asked in confusion, shaking the bottle.

"The dew in the chalice bottle will slowly flow out, and the seeds will also take time."

"That's right."

Chapter 49. Markit's Prison

When I saw Patch again.

He sat in the innermost grotto of the Mengliu Cave.

The innermost here is only the innermost part of the tunnel, and obviously not the innermost part in terms of geographical location.

On one side of this cave, light from the outside world shines in through the cracks in the stone, providing just the right amount of light for the cave.

The faint sound of flowing water, like the chirping of cicadas in summer, came from the crack in the rock.

Patch squatted on the ground.

He always liked to use this posture, with his legs spread wide open, like a frog with short arms.

Mia was very curious. Wouldn’t it be tiring to squat like this?

Others’ legs would go numb after squatting for more than ten minutes, but Patch would just squat like that for a long time.

"Do you still have your stuff?"

Mia asked him as soon as she walked in and saw him.

"Very." Patch snorted, "There."

He pointed to a pile of boxes in the corner.

"Something is missing?"

"No less than the same."

Mia glanced over there and then looked back at Patch.

Patch squatted there motionless, as if he was frozen in place.

The usual cunning light was no longer in his eyes.

"are you OK?"

Mia asked with concern.

"Hiss..." He took a slow breath: "Tell me. If a person wants to kill someone, but not for money, then what is it for?"

"You mean Nelius?" Mia felt that the answer should be obvious: "Maybe he wants to make himself stronger."

"So," Patch replied, "it all comes down to the desires in people's hearts."

Patch's breaths were short but rapid, with a two-second pause after each exhale.

It seems like there are countless emotions accumulated in my heart that I don’t know how to express.

There was a gloomy atmosphere all over his body.

Is this Patch?

Mia asked herself in her heart.

Looking at this, is this still the same heartless and fearless Patch as before?

不 ...

Even cold-blooded animals with low intelligence have mood swings.

Patch is undoubtedly a human being, no matter how bad his character is, he is still a human being. He will definitely have a good impression of the people around him and recall the happy days in the past.

But Mia didn't know what to say to him.

The image of Patch as a rogue had long been firmly rooted in Mia's mind like a nail, so much so that when she saw Patch now...

Precisely because she knew that this look was not pretended but came from the heart, Mia felt an indescribable sense of strangeness.

Let me use an exaggerated analogy.

That's like Dwayne Johnson wearing a bunny ear girl suit and doing a home dance in front of you and acting cute.

He also said that this was not a prank, this was his true other side!

In short, it is this kind of incongruity.

It seems that Mia has to get to know Patch again.

And now, she could only respond with a long silence out of guilt.

"The guys I used to be with here were too dumb to communicate with, but at least we got along well."

Patch sighed.

"Forget it, the dead cannot be resurrected."

As he said that, he looked at Mia and said, "Come to think of it, you have helped me a lot again. If it weren't for you, I would have been severely punished if I returned to this cave alone. So, I have to express my gratitude."

"Oh?"

Mia raised an eyebrow.

Planning to listen to what Patch has to say next.

"Did you see that box?"

Patch pointed to a wooden box not far away and said with a grin, "Inside that is a treasure I have been keeping. This is a rare opportunity, so I'll give it to you!"

"Are you really willing to do this?" Mia asked suspiciously.

"I'm a little reluctant to say that, but isn't it true that people take what they need from each other? Without you, my remaining assets would be gone. I don't know what you want from me, but I think if I take something like that as a reward..."

"Oh my!" He saw Mia standing still, like a child trying to attract attention, and he shouted exaggeratedly: "As expected, you still can't bear to part with it, you really can't bear to part with it! So, just consider that my determination has not wavered, and quickly open the box and take out the precious treasures!"

"Well..."

Mia nodded slightly.

No matter how you think about it, it's suspicious.

There shouldn't be any traps or anything like that in that box, right?

She kept an eye on Patch out of the corner of her eye, then walked over carefully.

Sure enough, as Mia approached the box, he caught a glimpse of Patch's face suddenly filled with anticipation.

Then the girl stopped a few meters in front of the box, and Patch's eyes became anxious again.

"This guy must have bad intentions."

Mia thought to herself.

The girl suddenly took a few steps back.

The staff in his hand flashed.

A blue crystal the size of a fingernail pierced the lock of the wooden box with a whoosh.

Then, touch—

Just like firecrackers, the crystal exploded, taking the lock of the box with it.

Then, the impact force, like that of a firecracker exploding, caused the top cover of the box to automatically open with a 'der'.

'Puff--'

A puff of smoke came out of the box.

If Mia stood in front of the box and opened it with both hands, she would be immediately enveloped by the smoke.

Everyone who saw this scene would understand what was going on.

"Patch!!!"

Mia turned around in annoyance.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, he yelled at Patch.

I just thought you were a pitiful guy!

“Oh, it hurts, it hurts—”

Patch screamed as Melina suddenly appeared behind him and pushed him to the ground.

"You are such a pervert, you can't change your bad habits!"

Mia's face turned red with anger and she walked over.

"You want to trick me again, right?"

"Why are you mad at me!" Patch twisted like a maggot.

Mia stepped on Patch's hand, which was still trying to struggle, and pressed it to the ground.

"if not?"

"I really didn't know there was such a trap hidden in that box. I had no idea!"

Mia kept a stern face and slowly rolled her boots.

"Ahhhhhh!" Patch howled miserably.

But even this look was fake.

Mia was very confident in her control. Almost all of her body weight was borne on the other foot that was touching the ground. In Patch's hand, there was only the weight of one leg at most.

She didn't try hard at all.

Probably, only one-fifth of Mia's weight.

On the contrary, seeing Patch pretending like this deliberately made Mia put some force on her feet.
