People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

136. Strange Knight in Search of the Sun (4.2K)

Long——

With a roar, a winding yellow lightning suddenly emerged from the knight's hand, like a spear.

Although it looked only as thick as a branch, it still exuded a terrifying aura of destruction, and was particularly violent.

The most important thing is that this thunder looks somewhat similar to the lightning gun used by the ancient dragon in the royal city, but it is essentially different.

Reinhardt couldn't tell exactly what the difference was.

After all, he was not as good at theory as Teacher Serlian. He only knew that the knight's lightning gun was completely different from the way prayer and pyroxene magic were activated.

Could it be Lance Shanks' new follower?

Then the believers used their own talents and understanding to transform the lightning gun?

It's not impossible.

However, for Lance Shanks's sake, he had to help no matter what the possibility was.

Golden return!

The lightning spear thrown by the knight was blocked by the golden tree emblem that suddenly appeared on the golden tree shield in the hand of the tree guard. Not only that, the power of the lightning spear was also dissolved and decomposed into the purest power by the emerging emblem, and then returned with the power of gold.

The purest golden power shot towards the knight like a ray.

This unexpected defense method and attack speed made the knight stand there in a daze for a moment, watching the golden laser gradually occupy his field of vision.

"Kaliah return!"

As the sound came, Reinhardt's figure suddenly blocked the knight's way and slowly stretched out a hand towards the incoming golden power.

In a moment, the golden power that touched his palm was instantly transformed into several huge floating swords, which left long tails at lightning speed and hit the tree guard in an instant like a meteor.

The shining sword constructed from pure magic power pierced through the golden armor, and trickles of blood flowed out from the gaps in the armor.

Through his helmet, the tree guard looked at Reinhardt with a look of disbelief.

The tree guard who usually killed others instantly in the name of his teacher never thought that there would be a day when he himself would be killed instantly. However, that look of astonishment was forever frozen on his face. He fell straight down with his beloved horse, knocking out fresh soil from the soft ground.

A golden aura like a silk thread floated out from their bodies and gathered on Reinhardt.

"Huh... So this is what it feels like..."

Reinhardt couldn't help but let out a sound of relief.

This was his first time plundering someone else's rune, but this feeling...

I have to say, it’s really cool.

He didn't know what was happening inside his body, he just felt a force accompanied by the power of the sun flowing through his limbs and bones, and his strength seemed to be enhanced a little bit.

Is this a new application of the Solar Law?

Just when he was feeling confused, the knight he was protecting suddenly spoke.

"Oh, thanks for the helping hand, stranger."

"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about something and accidentally....ignored you."

Reinhardt turned around and talked to the knight, but the moment he saw the man, his expression froze and became a little strange.

It wasn't that there was anything strange about the man's appearance, it was more like he was ordinary.

A man of medium height wears an iron helmet like a bucket on his head, and there is a particularly conspicuous red chicken feather missing from it.

The standard armor he wore was a style he had never seen before. To be more precise, it was a style that could not be found anywhere else in the entire border area, and it had never appeared in his memory.

He wore a grass-green fur shawl on his shoulders, but the most eye-catching thing was the sun-like emblem on his chest and his mighty beer belly.

Not to mention the long sword hidden at the waist, it is nothing special, just an old-style standard long sword.

In addition, there is a metal round shield with the same graffiti as the sun pattern on his chest. It also feels as if it was painted by himself and does not contain any power.

But if that were all, it wouldn't be enough to make Reinhardt feel weird.

It's just a peculiar armor with strange patterns, nothing special.

The main problem lies in the way this man expressed his gratitude. A normal person would either shake hands or salute to express gratitude, but what about this man?

He stood there with his hands raised high, forming a Y shape, as if praying to something.

And the direction was not the shining golden tree, but the sky in another direction, which was so empty that not even a star could be seen.

Are you also planning to summon the divine power of Sunfall?

This name was the name he gave to the move that summoned the fireball.

"It's ok."

After praying for a moment, the man lowered his hands and introduced himself to him: "Hello, I am Solaire, Solaire from Astra, a believer in the Sun God and an undead."

"I came to this great land in search of my own sun."

"...You must find it weird, right?"

"Uh... not really."

"Listen to me, there's no need to hide your reaction. Everyone has the same expression after hearing this."

Looking at the strange expression on his face, the man named Solar talked to himself and laughed inexplicably.

It seemed as if Solar really didn't care about what others thought of him.

However, the amount of information contained in the other party's words really highlights one big word.

First of all, judging from the conversation, he is a man who is very good at talking and is very outgoing.

Secondly, the name Solar and the place name Astra were unfamiliar to him, and he couldn't find them even after searching through his memory, but the name Undead was very familiar to him.

If I remember correctly, the characters in Miyazaki's Dark Souls trilogy are undead, right?

Could it be possible that even those with Dark Souls could pass through the fog gate and reach the borderland?!

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be reasonable. After all, there are many Faded Ones from the Land of Reeds, so a few coming from Dark Souls doesn't seem to be a big deal.

There is nothing wrong with finding what you are looking for.

However, I came to this narrow space just to find the sun...

He could only say, buddy, you've come to the wrong place. The sun here has long been broken and is still waiting for him to repair it.

"Oh, aha, sorry, did I scare you?"

Solar seemed to realize that his laughter was indeed a bit strange and quickly stopped laughing. He looked at the towering golden tree and asked curiously:

"...Strangely enough, it's not the sun that brings light to this land, but that majestic tree. Do you have any idea why?"

"Well, that's a long story. Even to this day, I don't know much about the golden tree. You just need to know that the tree replaced the sun, and the sun at the borderland has long lost its power."

"Oh, so the tree is called the Golden Tree. What a beautiful name... But thank you, stranger, for telling me so much. You told me that the sun still shines in this land. It seems that I was searching in the right direction."

There is nothing wrong, you are just very wrong, okay?

Looking for the sun to cross the border? This is too ridiculous. Didn't you hear that the sun has lost its power?

Even he himself has to find a way to call back the sun. What can you find by looking for it?

In the end it was nothing but endless disappointment.

But Solar seemed unconcerned by the question and even asked again, "Thank you again, stranger. May I know your name?"

"My name is Reinhardt, just call me Rhine."

"Oh, Reinhardt, what a beautiful name, as beautiful and dazzling as the sun."

For some reason, Solar became intoxicated again as he spoke.

"Mr. Rhine, if you have time, I have a suggestion." Suddenly, Solar stopped his intoxication and suggested, "This proposal is also to thank you for saving my life. It seems to me that our destinies seem to be intertwined."

"In you, I feel the radiance of the sun, and your name is filled with courage and decisiveness..."

"Now, you've saved me from danger and from searching for the sun. Is this just a coincidence?"

"No, I don't think so."

"So, Mr. Solar, what exactly do you want to say?"

Reinhardt interrupted the other person. He felt uncomfortable with what he said, as if he had accidentally saved a weirdo.

It was just a chance encounter, and the act of helping each other when seeing injustice was described by Mr. Solar as an intersection of fate.

He doesn't want to be tied to weird people!

If he hadn't known that this person came from outside the border area, he would probably have mistakenly believed that Solar had developed dementia and damaged his brain because of the blessing of gold.

"Oh, sorry, my explanation was too complicated. To put it simply, I hope you can summon me when you encounter the summoning talisman, so that I can repay you for saving my life."

"Summoning Talisman?"

Reinhardt felt very unfamiliar with this word and had never heard of it before.

"Yes, that's right. That's a spell that emits shining light. I believe you can find it." Solar said confidently.

If we say this, wouldn’t it be the same as writing with a hooked finger?

Just touch it and the corresponding character will respond.

However, when he wanted to confirm this, Solar had already left, saying that he was going to continue his journey to find the sun.

Solar firmly believed that the sun could be found at the border.

I can only wish him good luck then.

As for him, the owner of the Law of the Sun?

What people are looking for is the sun at the border, not the law of the sun, and he is certainly not the sun at the border.

Then Reinhardt left as well.

He regarded this encounter as just a coincidence and didn't take it seriously. He was too lazy to study the summoning talisman anymore.

I wandered aimlessly in Nimgfu, enjoying the long-lost scenery around me.

Although the battle between him and Latarn seemed like yesterday to him, it can also be seen from the scenery here that many years have passed.

When the Elden Ring was shattered, the seeds of the Golden Tree scattered across the border had now grown and become saplings comparable to ordinary trees;

Located in the center of Nimgefu, the once prosperous Ailei Church is now deserted, weathered by time and even the statues have been lost, leaving only dilapidated ruins.

The villages along the way were once a highlight of Nimgfu, but the prosperous scenes are no longer there. Only uninhabited and dilapidated houses are left, and even wild dogs are too lazy to visit.

The miserable state of Nimgfu can no longer be described as a place in need of reconstruction. It is like an abandoned place with no one to manage it.

But in reality, the land is still managed.

It is still Grek who commands this place, and this has never changed, as evidenced by the large groups of Grek knights and soldiers patrolling along the way.

However, their patrols were not for law and order, but to capture the Faded Ones on Greg's orders.

What an unrepentant loser, bringing shame to Godwin and tarnishing the name of gold...

The golden color in his eyes was still there, but there was no trace of rationality in his expression. However, the greatsword and spear of the King's Army in his hands were well-maintained and showed signs of maintenance.

They behaved like moribund puppets, their heads filled with only the orders Greg had given them.

As for how Reinhardt knew?

In addition to the relevant memories, he had naturally experienced it. Just a while ago, he was wandering on the road and was blocked by a group of Grek soldiers. When they saw him, they pounced on him like crazy.

The natural outcome was that he became a walking rune and was absorbed by him, but the amount was not even a fraction of what the tree guards had.

However, when passing by Lake Yakir, a song coming from afar caught his attention.

"Akir, oh, Akir...

Flame of Aqir, please burn me to ashes...

Oh──oh──oh──

The coffin travels with us,

The destination is too far away, the journey seems endless──
