The King of Elden does not die alone!

He looked at the weathered stone bricks that kept passing by his eyes under his feet.

Greg is not fit to be king.

When the Shattering War began, Greg was too young, too immature.

In addition to the eldest golden son, another person who died in the Night of Black Knife was the father.

The Elden Ring was broken, and the people under the golden tree found it hard to accept this fact, and the royal city fell into chaos.

In the midst of the chaos, there were still assassins lurking who wanted to exterminate the Golden Protoss. Protected by soldiers who remained loyal to the banner of the tree and the beast, the twins of the Golden Eldest Son escaped from the royal city.

It is only expected that a child who loses his father will grow up in a barbaric way.

Wilden once served Greg, the heir of the Golden Name, and fought for him as a soldier, hoping to one day restore the glory of the Golden Dynasty.

But now, after sleeping in that cave for who knows how long, when I woke up again, the world was still the same.

What's the point of this?

Because of blood? Because Greg inherited Godwin's blood?

Wilden had lost his feeling for these two words. He had long forgotten where his bloodline was.

The infighting among the fragment kings is even more heartbreaking.

The knight in his story once heard the assassin who died by the sword whispering his mother's name.

But the knight could no longer save his lord, who was a father.

Why do people always fight with each other?

The son of man wishes to kill the son of man, the father of man wishes to kill the father of man, the brother of man wishes to kill the brother of man.

Bloodline is meaningless.

It was the blood-connected Fragment Kings who started this war.

Bloodline cannot create the world that the lord the knight serves desires.

"Are there no guards here?"

Wilden raised his head and looked back at Mia who was riding on the wildebeest and asking questions.

"After all, we haven't done anything to attract attention along the way."

replied Wilden, who was well acquainted with the habits of the army.

Starting from the tree guards at the beginning, when they encountered soldiers, they either took a detour or disguised themselves.

There was no conflict with any king's army.

Naturally, it did not arouse the vigilance of the King's Army.

If he was like some stubborn Faded Ones who just kept killing and hacking their way through after leaving the Drifting Cemetery, then when he passed the Storm Level and arrived at the city of Stonewell.

What awaits him would be the King's Army soldiers who have come out in full force, setting up roadblocks and crossbows, and preparing for battle.

And now, it is normal for the group to climb the mountain smoothly.

"I don't know if I can get away with it after entering the city. I must be prepared for a fight."

Wilden reminded in advance.

"I'm always ready."

If you want to lie, you must be prepared to be exposed.

It’s like if you kill someone, you have to be prepared to be killed.

The light suddenly dimmed.

Looking up at this moment, the city of Stonewell is hidden behind a low mountain.

At this moment, the spirit wolf let out a short, rough howl, and the three of them immediately worked together to tie the rope.

After walking up this section of the uphill road, there is a flat road ahead, which leads through the mountain and directly to the tunnel under the city of Stonewell.

On both sides of the tunnel stood two soldiers.

Wilden led the two 'limb-replaced sacrifices' and swaggered past the soldiers on guard into the winding tunnel.

As soon as he got out of sight, Patch couldn't wait for Wilden to untie the rope.

"The city gate is just ahead! Be quiet."

Mia growled at him fiercely.

Patch curled his lips and calmed down.

Compared to the poorly maintained roads, the tunnels are clearly the product of a lot of effort.

After all, tunnels are likely to collapse if they are not maintained, resulting in unnecessary risks.

Fine stone bricks were built into round arches, and torches were lit on both sides of the tunnel.

There are also some culverts deeply embedded in the mountain, extending on both sides of the tunnel like centipede legs. It is unknown what their function is.

There are several turns in the tunnel, and it is very quiet, so the footsteps of the three people can be heard echoing.

When passing through a culvert, there is a right-angled concave turn in the culvert.

Mia saw something out of the corner of her eye.

'win——'

A familiar voice and a familiar light suddenly came from that corner.

"Be careful!" Mia broke free from the rope in an instant.

A magic sword came from the side and flew straight towards Wilden.

What Mia noticed, Wilden certainly noticed too.

The moment Mia issued a warning, he turned his body sideways.

The dark blue magic sword missed.

Then, Mia immediately counterattacked the attacker who released magic. The Stargazing Staff appeared in her hand, and with a slight shake, two swift magic gravels flew out in that direction.

piapia~

Mia's magic gravel also missed.

The attacker—

A magician wearing a brown pointed hat and slightly exaggerated clothes.

After dodging the magic gravel, he crawled up from the ground in a very embarrassed manner.

"Are you crazy!" he shouted, "I'm saving you!"

Chapter 55. Evil Omen Demon

The attacker was holding a beautiful rapier. After getting up from the ground, he looked at Mia with an uncertain expression.

He could see that Mia was a very powerful magician.

From the time of the surprise attack to the release of the magic gravel, there was almost no process of mobilizing magic power.

The time it took to launch a counterattack was astonishingly short.

Mia did not continue the attack. After the attacker shouted that sentence, he immediately knew it was a misunderstanding.

"It was a misunderstanding!" she explained.

Even if they are the ones who are attacked, more importantly, they are the ones who are misunderstood.

At this time, if we still insist on the idea of ​​"if someone offends me, I will offend him", launching a counterattack will only make things worse.

It's stupid behavior.

Wilden had already drawn his weapon, but after Mia's call, he stopped further action and crossed his swords in front of him, ready to fight at any time.

Patch, who couldn't break free from the ropes like Mia, fell into a funny posture of crouching with his head in his hands as soon as the conflict began.

"What is going on?" The attacker asked Mia without any hesitation.

"Huh..." Mia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party was indeed a reasonable person.

She recognized the attire of the man in front of her.

Naturally, he also knew who the person in front of him was—the magic swordsman Roger.

But Mia did not rely on her intelligence advantage to expose the other party's identity and then make the other party fall into suspicion.

"As you can see," the girl explained to Roger, "he is my companion."

"Why are you tied up?"

Mia's short words did not dispel Roger's doubts.

However, judging from the fact that Mia and Patch did not attack him, they were probably not the Bloody Fingers who made a living by attacking their compatriots.

"This is just a way to avoid fighting." Mia replied, "If not, I don't know how difficult it would be to reach the city of Stonewell."

After that, Mia changed the subject and asked, "How did you get in?"

Roger glanced at Wilden.

Mia noticed Roger's vigilance and said to Wilden, "Forget it, Wilden, the one in front of you is not an enemy."

Wilden nodded, but still did not put away his sword. He just cancelled his fighting stance and held the two swords in his arms that hung naturally.

But seeing this scene, Roger's hand holding the rapier relaxed a little.

He shrugged and calmly replied, "We just acted according to circumstances. The soldiers were very careless in their defense."

"Okay..." Mia pondered, "You want to go to Stonewell too? How about we go together?"

She extended an invitation to Roger.

The invitation seemed a little out of place.

Roger sensed this, frowned slightly, was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "Why do you want to go to Stonewell?"

"To challenge the lord of this city."

"What about him?" Roger pointed at Wilden.

"He is..." Mia was about to explain.

Wilden then said, "I am her follower."

"Followers?" Roger was a little surprised. "What an unusual combination. The people of this city are hunting the Faded Ones to use as sacrifices for limb grafting."

"So, having someone who can help us get past the other soldiers who have bad intentions towards us is something that is very valuable."

Mia smiled generously: "This is not the first time we have been questioned like this. You can call me Mia, this is Wilden."

"I'm Roger, a magician, as you might imagine."

Roger put away his sword and finally let down his guard. He gave a friendly smile that made people feel cordial but not presumptuous.

The magic swordsman is very good-looking.

Although it is in line with Mia's aesthetic, it is a pity.

She has no sexual interest in men.

Patch, with the rope still in his hand, looked at the two people around him.

"What about me?" Patch pointed at himself.

When Mia introduced Roger just now, she just passed him by.

"Ah, this is Patch, a Fader like you and me. We are heading to Stonewell to challenge the city lord here."

"I just followed you. I didn't say I would go with you to challenge the city lord..."

Patch's soft muttering did not escape Mia's ears.

When the girl turned around and gave him a kind look, Patch shuddered.

He looked away instantly, pretending what had just happened had not happened.
