The King of Elden does not die alone!

Wilden looked at Mia, who showed such a human side: "You are different from the demigods I have ever seen."

"Well," Mia touched her nose, "Before I came to the border, I knew nothing about my identity. So please treat me as an ordinary person..."

"That's why," Wilden replied, "you have qualities that none of the shard kings possess."

This should be considered a compliment.

Mia touched the sole of her shoe with her toes in embarrassment.

"Well, let's get some rest tonight."

"I understand."

Wilden closed his eyes and nodded.

"Okay, I understand. Good night."

Mia was saying this when she saw Wilden suddenly stand up, face her, and half-kneel down.

"Get up, get up!" Mia waved her hands in panic, trying to pull Velden.

Gao Mia was at a loss for what to do after this sudden action.

But the latter did not move at all.

"I am willing to swear allegiance to you."

The soldier said this, and addressed Mia using honorifics.

"Stand up first..."

Mia was just an ordinary person on Earth in her previous life. Seeing someone being so respectful to her was really hard for her to adapt.

Especially when someone who was very familiar to her half-knelt down in front of her and said that he wanted to be loyal to her, which undoubtedly contained elements of "historical reversal", she felt even more uneasy.

"Do you accept my pledge of allegiance?" Wilden asked halfway.

Mia knew that this was not the time for him to do whatever she wanted.

So, “I accept.”

Mia answered solemnly.

Wilden stood up.

"..." Mia looked at him with a complicated expression.

The girl never thought of herself as a unique person, nor a leader.

Although at times, she did show that ability.

But she herself doesn't seem to have such self-awareness.

So I don’t think that it is enough to rely on to feel superior.

"By the way, aren't you loyal to Greg?"

Mia still had a lot of doubts about Wilden's sudden and serious oath of allegiance.

Weldon did not disown his past allegiances.

He nodded.

"But I would rather this war end."

After the Ring of Elden was shattered, the demigods started a war of fragments in order to become the King of Elden.

Everyone coveted the throne under the golden tree, and brothers and sisters turned their swords against each other.

The long melee has continued to this day, and this once prosperous land has become desolate and barbaric.

"Grek is still performing limb grafting and is oblivious to everything that is happening on this land. He has strayed from the righteous path of the king."

"..." Wilden paused.

"Please forgive my greed... If possible, I hope you can correct Greg's wrong path."

"I believe that when the king deviates from his original intention, as a subject, I have the obligation to help him get back on the right track."

"Do you think I can get Greg back on the right track?" Mia asked with a frown.

"Yes." Wilden nodded.

"why?"

"Because you have qualities that most other shard kings do not possess."

Veer said this for the second time.

"What exactly is that quality?" Mia tilted her head.

"tolerate."

tolerate?

Mia objected to the suggestion that this was a trait that other Shard Kings did not possess.

Mia shook her head. “I don’t think that’s a quality that only I possess.”

In the forbidden area of ​​the north shrouded in snow and wind, there remains the unfulfilled dream of a young god.

Hoping that everyone, regardless of race, could live under the light of the golden tree was not just a naive idea held by Mia, a time traveler with a God's perspective.

Wilden replied: "But you are the closest to me."

Mia was silent for a long time. If she said that she had never thought about redeeming those regrets with her current status, it would be a lie.

In the game, the protagonist is just a controlled fader. Who he kills and when he kills are all controlled by the creator of the game.

No matter what players think, they cannot change the game's code.

But if we could communicate with the characters in the game as a real person, how many tragedies could be avoided?

How many enemies can be avoided?

Mia has been doing this since she came into this world.

She did not attack Wilden as soon as she saw him, and then she and Wilden managed to get past the tree guards with great difficulty.

From traveling with Patch to passing the Storm level without any obstacles.

Through communication and wisdom, Mia still accomplished a lot.

She also hoped to do more. She had been thinking for a long time, if she defeated Greg as a demigod, could she create another possibility?

“Actually, I had this idea before…”

Mia was asked to do something she had always wanted to do, and her mood was a little difficult to describe for a moment.

"Thank you." Wilden realized that Mia didn't like the half-kneeling greeting, so he bowed.

Mia waved her hand: "It's better to rest early."

If she were to encounter a battle at the gates of Stonewell tomorrow, she wouldn't want to have a bad sleep tonight.

But unfortunately, poor sleep is inevitable.

The conversation with Wilden was bound to make her think about a lot of random things and keep her awake until midnight.

"I'm going back to bed first."

Mia turned around, sighed with relief, and walked into the room.

The sigh was muffled by the whistling wind.

The girl looked back at Wilden with a questioning look.

"I'm keeping watch here."

"Well."

It was a common occurrence, so Mia didn't make a fuss about it.

If Wilden just followed her back to the room.

Mia, on the other hand, was worried about how the two of them would get along after the oath of allegiance just now.

We'll talk about it tomorrow morning.

Wilden watched Mia go back into the back room.

Then he sat back against the wall, his golden eyes gazing at the dark night sky outside, his face revealing a reminiscence of the past.

Chapter 54. Wilden's Story

Wilden actually wanted to tell Mia a story.

But until the end, Mia walked back to the inner room and went back to sleep, and Wilden still didn't say a word.

Perhaps they felt that it was too late and they had already talked too much, so they did not stop Mia.

Maybe it was just that Wilden felt that he was not good at telling stories, and the stories coming out of his mouth would definitely be boring.

And a man like him is not suited to telling stories like a sentimental person.

So, Wilden's story was kept in his heart, known only to him.

However, even if he didn't want to tell anyone, he would never forget the story.

That was a long, long time ago, when the Elden Ring was not broken and cheers and smiles still existed in the world.

In Rodel, the capital of the Golden Dynasty, there was a knight serving his lord.

The lord has long hair like golden threads and a face that is carefully carved out of marble. He is the first demigod to be born and the eldest son of God.

The knight swore an oath of loyalty to his lord and was proud of his oath. He was his inseparable servant.

Those who can serve the eldest son of God are naturally the best among the knights.

In times of peace, knights serve as guards for their lords, helping them keep away unwelcome guests.

And when war comes, knights are the warriors who accompany their lords into battle and make great military achievements.

What the knight's lord likes to do is to tell others about his dreams.

He hoped that in the land he would rule, whether it was the demi-humans living in caves or the ancient dragons soaring in the sky, they would all live on the same land with the humans who built magnificent cities and prosper together in peace.

He was born to be loved, so he also loves the world.

"If the prosperity of our dynasty right now is just a dream, then I am the one who will continue this dream."

Those were his words.

But he didn't expect that if this was really a dream, then the dream would be shattered one day.

On that cold and foggy night, the Death Rune was stolen.

The first demigods became the first dead.

The knight lost his lord.

At the same time, he also lost his oath.

-

The city of Stonewell is within reach.

At the foot of the leeward mountain, farmlands and villages are sparsely scattered.

In the distance, a little smoke rose from the simple thatched houses.

But it was as dead silent as a relic.

From here, even in the morning, there are not many people on the road.

The crows landing on the scarecrow may be one of the few manifestations of life in this bad land.

At the foot of the mountain, the road diverges, and following the winding path upwards, the city of Stonewell is located at the top of the mountain.

On the way, they encountered a team of patrolling soldiers. Fortunately, with the warning of the spirit wolf, the three of them successfully passed through without being stopped or questioned.

Looking west from halfway up the mountain, the end of the highland is the endless dark ocean, while looking east, the bridge leading to the Tower of Divine Blessing does not end until the end of the sight.

Even the road leading to the city under your feet is still poorly maintained.

Wilden walked forward with his head down, Mia and Patch following behind him.
