The King of Elden does not die alone!

"There should be something we can take out." Wilden said, walking in the opposite direction of the exit.

Mia quickly followed: "What is it?"

"Those dignitaries originally brought a lot of luggage with them, which they couldn't eat or use, but if they went out, they would be able to use it."

"Aren't you going to check the exit?"

"I think you wouldn't lie to me."

"..."

The two of them walked back along Mia's strategy path.

Of course, he also passed by the zombies that were tied up by Mia.

“Good practice.”

Wilden commented as he looked at his companions who had once been trapped in the cave with him and were now only left with instinct.

In a grotto, Wilden pulled a locked chest from a pile of empty barrels and crates.

"You can take it," Wilden said, pushing the box toward Mia.

Mia looked at the soldier suspiciously, drew her sword and cut open the lock on the box that had rusted into powder. As she opened the lid, she also felt the considerable weight of the box.

"what is this?"

There was a box full of golden coins of different sizes. The small ones were only the size of a fingernail, while the big ones could take up half a palm when held in the hand.

It's amazing.

Mia was playing with a coin, a golden coin with runes engraved on it.

For some reason, Mia could understand the meaning of this rune.

"Golden Runes, beautiful golden coins are filled with the blessings of the Golden Tree. They come in different sizes and values ​​and are the currency circulated in the border areas. With the help of the Finger Witch, the Faded One can use the blessings in the Golden Runes to strengthen himself."

It's amazing.

The size and color of the golden rune seem to represent its face value. The brighter the gold and the larger the volume, the higher its value.

After traveling through time, I was very curious about what the Rune currency in the game would look like, but I didn’t expect it to be so plain and simple.

In the game, only the Faded Ones can transform Runes into their own power with the help of the Finger Witch. For ordinary people in the border area, Runes are just currency, and merchants use them for transactions.

The wandering merchants in the game collect runes, and even the Faded Merchants and the Golden Treemen Merchants all collect runes.

Although players obtain runes by killing, killing, killing...runes can be obtained by killing enemies, just like absorbing souls.

If the people at the border also use this method to obtain runes...

Wouldn't that just mess things up?

"Don't you need it?"

Mia asked.

"Me? I haven't seen anyone who can talk to me in a long time." Wilden said: "As for the Golden Rune, I don't care."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of going back on his word, Mia nodded, reached out, and put the golden runes in the box into the storage space.

Wilden saw it all: "You faded ones who returned from outside the border area really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

"hey-hey."

Mia smiled innocently after her true colors were exposed.

The moment she put the golden runes in the box, she knew the exact number of runes in the box.

Twenty-nine thousand eight hundred and forty-nine, both zeros and whole numbers.

"So many..." Mia was indeed surprised.

"Perhaps. It is indeed a lot for you and me, but for a noble, this amount of gold runes is not enough to buy a set of knight equipment."

Mia felt that what Wilden was referring to was not the knight armor sold in the Round Table Hall, which was small and shabby without any decoration for the Golden Tree People, but the gorgeous plate armor equipped by the knights of the King's Army.

Although she had a lot of money, Mia was unable to transform the blessings from the rune into her own power because she had not yet met Melina.

Wilden turned around: "Now let's go."

"Wait a moment!"

This time, it was Mia who stopped him again.

Wilden's actions just now inspired Mia.

Mia took the initiative and called Wilden, and swept through the study cave like a whirlwind.

Open every box you see and look through every bag.

The swords of wandering nobles? All of them were collected.

Even the weapons and armor of the Grek soldiers were not spared.

Besides that, she found another surprise.

"Huh——" The girl took out a dusty black aristocratic travel suit from a box.

'A travel suit woven of black silk and gold, the colours of which were specially ordered by someone, the kind worn by members of the royal family when they are away from home.'

'It is a magnificent gift, so that even if the recipient dies in the street, it can still save the royal family's face.'

It was paired with a pair of leather boots and a dark black hood of the same color as the travel suit.

At least I can change my image. The prophet's yellow robe is really uncomfortable to wear.

After Mia hid aside and put on the clothes, she felt completely different from before.

I looked at myself with the small mirror I also found...

"Fire Keeper?"

Well, this is Mia’s first impression of her current outfit.

Blonde hair, blindfolded, black clothes...

The only flaw was that the concealing ornament was not a gorgeous silver crown, but a strip of cloth.

as well as...

Compared to the intellectual fireproofing sister, her body is quite thin.

But: "I am indeed very beautiful."

Mia stroked her fair and smooth chin and talked to herself happily.

"Okay, time to leave the tutorial level."

Chapter 8. Goodbye, Study Cave!

The Ring DLC ​​is officially announced!!!

How can you not be crazy while waiting for the DLC? Damn, I punched the golden tree to pieces!

-

As they left together, Wilden asked Mia for the weapons of several other soldiers.

It includes a broadsword, a straight sword, two daggers and a brass shield.

Mia generously gave all these things to Wilden. It seemed that as long as Mia was willing, the equipment in the storage space could change back and forth between her size and the normal size.

Wilden carried a broadsword and a brass shield on his back, with a straight sword on each side of his waist and two daggers hanging behind his waist. Together with the broadsword and spear in his hands, his whole body made a clanking sound like a Christmas tree when he moved a little.

Mia herself had replaced her short spear with a better quality King's Army war spear, the wooden handle of which was painted red and decorated with brass reliefs.

(Unfortunately, it is not allowed to explode in the game)

It's almost unbearable to use it in battle.

In addition, Mia also put on chain mail taken from soldiers under her noble travel clothes.

Chain mail is indeed a bit heavy, but if the weight is distributed throughout the body, it does not affect movement.

Moreover, there are soft clothes on the inside and outside of the chain mail, so it will not make noise even when running.

As for the cotton armor...Mia disliked the soldiers' cotton armor because it was too worn and dirty. The soft armor made of multiple layers of cotton and linen could not be cleaned by just wiping it like chain mail.

In order not to irritate herself, Mia gave up the more powerful defense.

Anyway, a piece of chain mail is enough for her at the moment. Mia positions herself as a warlock rather than a knight.

The exit of the study cave leads to Mia's birthplace, a cave illuminated by the light of the golden sapling.

There is only one way to leave here.

Following the man-made traces, you will see a tall stone door opened on a solemn staircase.

This is the drifting cemetery.

I still don't know why this place is called this.

Mia and Wilden came out of the grotto and just passed through a tomb chamber before they came to a fork in the road.

Ahead was a bright road, with candles and torches burning with everlasting white spiritual fire placed on both sides of the corridor, leading to a room in front.

On the right side is a tall gate with four stone pillars and three arches. The gate has no door panel but is covered by a thick fog.

The strange fog was tangible. When Mia touched it, it felt like she was touching cold glass. The things covered by the fog were blurry, and she could barely see that it was a spacious space.

That is where you will find the deepest part of the Drifting Cemetery.

Mia turned her eyes to a gargoyle sculpture next to the fog door. If the stone sword key is not inserted into the sculpture, the fog door will not be opened.

Unfortunately, Mia didn't have the stone sword key.

No, even with the Stone Sword Key, the things in the deepest part of the Drifting Cemetery were not something she could deal with at her current level.

Wilden looked around, having no idea that the exit of the cave that trapped him would look like this.

"Go forward." Mia said to him. In her sight, there was a blessing ahead.

Wilden walked straight through the light and was invisible to him.

Mia walked over and lightly touched the blessing, and all her fatigue was instantly swept away.

Then he raised his head, without stopping for too long, and quickly followed Wilden in front of him.

At the end of the corridor was the room where the tomb elevator was placed. The two walked onto the circular stone platform together. Mia stepped on the pedal in the middle of the elevator. After a slight vibration, the elevator began to climb upwards.

After a while, the elevator stopped.

She had to continue going up and after walking up a short flight of stairs, the dusty, heavy metal door appeared in front of Mia.

He stretched out his hands to hold the door and leaned forward.

Not moving.

...

Oh, I forgot, this door needs to be lifted.

The girl tried to lift the door in an extremely difficult position.

"Let me do it." Wilden stepped forward.

The two of them lifted the door high with great effort, and the door rose up smoothly, and did not fall down again because there was no one holding it up.

'call...'

Elevators can be made fully automatic, so why can't doors?

The girl took a breath, walked out of the drifting cemetery towards the golden light.

"Is that the golden tree..."

Only by raising your head forty-five degrees can you see the huge golden tree occupying the sky. Under the dark sky, the golden tree emitting golden light is the sun at the border.

Although it looks smaller than the one in the game, shock and speechlessness are still the only feelings Mia has after seeing the golden tree.

How sacred, how broad, how inviolable.
