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

The tree spirit stained by death——

Rotten tree spirit.

155. There are no roads in the world, but as you walk more, roads are formed naturally (4.2K)

The fire that broke out in the sewers of Stoneville City burned everything around it.

The tangled and spreading tree roots were ignited one after another, burning into charcoal and ashes that shattered at the touch.

The rotten tree spirit that was alive and kicking just now has become fuel, and the burning flames dispel the death and decay in the air.

The rotten tree spirits were originally born from the golden tree, relying on the golden tree, and scattered throughout the border area along the roots.

But as the dead Prince Godwin was buried at the roots of the tree and returned to the tree, Godwin, who was not yet completely dead, was blessed by the Golden Law and mobilized the power of the golden tree to continuously repair Godwin's body.

This also led to this becoming a seedbed of death, giving birth to dead roots and dead-born people.

These beings are spread throughout the border areas along the tree roots.

Let death spread.

Causes tree roots to rot.

Even the tree spirit that was born from this was corroded and lost its sanity.

Reinhardt, who had taken back the power of the sun, walked around the charred tree spirit and slowly approached the face deep in the sewer.

As he got closer, the smell of death and decay in the air became stronger.

But the strange thing is that there are no Indian bees here, even though there is such a foul stench.

This also shows how dangerous a mere face can be.

However, he discovered something when he got closer.

This face seemed to have expanded much larger than he had imagined. The protruding nostrils alone could probably fit one or two people, not to mention the eyes and other spaces.

Although it looks like an octopus and has a bit of the weird flavor of Cthulhu, it is really big enough.

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye.

"Blood?"

He leaned over and gently pressed it with his fingers. "It's still a little sticky, not dry, and still fresh..."

It seems that I didn’t come too early, but too late.

It is estimated that they found this place during the chaos when he was attacking the city, and were attacked by the dead prince's face.

In that case, there was no need for him to stay underground, so he turned around and prepared to return to the upper level.

"It's your turn, Greg."

"I wonder if you are ready to welcome me?"

A carefree smile slowly appeared on Reinhardt's face.

He knew very well who the owner of this blood was.

As far as he knew, there was only one person who was brave enough to find the underground of Stonewell City, and that was the [Magician] Roger.

It is difficult for him to comment on Roger, and his impression of him is mixed.

I am very grateful to him for helping me deal with the [Evil Demon] Markit in the beginning. Later, he taught me some combat skills of pyroxene magic, so he can be considered as a half teacher.

He can be considered a good guy.

But unfortunately, this guy is too stupid and too bold.

Roger once came to the borderland through the fog gate. He was an excellent magic swordsman and a close friend of D. They traveled together in various places in the borderland and explored death together.

But in the end, they parted ways due to differences in beliefs and opinions.

Not only that, while D was hunting the Deadborn and the Deadroot, Roger also started investigating the matter of Black Knife Night, trying to find out what happened on Black Knife Night...

According to Roger himself, he hopes to become a scholar.

And in order to save the Deadborn and correct the distortions in this world, he has been investigating this matter.

But it's really too stupid.

The Night of the Black Knife was the biggest conspiracy in the border area. Everyone was trying to avoid it, and even if they knew some fragments of it, they dared not mention it or make any judgments.

But Roger wanted to find out the truth.

You know, even he who had experienced and witnessed the Night of Black Knife couldn't understand the twists and turns involved.

On the surface, it seemed that it was done by Marika's subordinate Black Knife, who killed [Gold] Godwin.

But is that really the case?

There are countless driving forces behind this, making all this happen.

Just as everyone has said - "The [Black Sword] Fated Death guarded by Malicus was stolen", is this really the case?

Malycus once took the law of death from Queen Izzy and sealed it.

It can be said that he has the power to kill gods. Who can easily steal the destined death from him?

It goes without saying that [Eternal Queen] Marika and [Moon Princess] Lani have their part in this cold night of black knives, but who knew that Two Fingers was also involved?

Even [Justice Officer] Lakkad was involved in all this?

Once the truth is revealed, they will probably be hunted endlessly, and the border area will fall into chaos again.

Because this truth is the biggest scandal of the Golden Clan, which will cause the Golden Dynasty to completely lose control of the border area, so Two Fingers will never let this truth be revealed, and it will be buried forever in the long river of history and gradually disappear.

Therefore, Roger's behavior was nothing short of stupid.

The truth that has been tried so hard to hide should not be discovered.

Just like why the gods of the ancient dragon clan left in the past, no one knows except Platon Shanks.

Soon, Reinhardt returned to the top along the loop, but the sky had darkened and it was night.

I have to say, although he has been to Stonewell City more than once, this place is really big, completely different from the one in the game.

It is at least ten times larger than in the game, and contains many places that have never been explored in the game, or have never been seen.

Therefore, it leads to a very serious problem.

“I’m lost…”

Looking at the almost identical buildings around him, Reinhardt said he had forgotten how to get to the throne room where Greg was.

After all, the last time I got here was with the guidance of the Zunfu Knight, Finlay and Marennia.

When it was his turn, he didn't know what to do.

As for the sewers and the church?

That's so obvious. For the former, just go straight down, and you will find it if you go in all directions.

As for the latter, you can always find it by walking around the city wall.

At this moment, a voice as calm as water quietly sounded from his body.

"Rhine, you should be able to see that cluster of golden light—guidance from the Blessing. Follow the guidance and you will find the Fragment King."

As if she could see his embarrassment, Melina reminded him softly.

Well, I understand. I understand everything you said, but where can I find the blessing point?

He directly rejected Melina's proposal.

The surrounding buildings all look the same, and there's not even a single person... oh no, not even an eagle to be seen.

Everything was quiet, with the chirping of insects and his footsteps being the only two sounds here.

There was no one to ask for directions.

If I had known this earlier, I would have left someone alive to lead the way when I passed the kitchen.

Why do I have to be so naughty as to send them to the afterlife together in order to help them attain liberation and regain their freedom?

Why do you want to be such a good person?

Just when he was worried, looking at the rows of houses and towering city walls bathed in the clear moonlight, he suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Otherwise, just tear it down as we go. We'll eventually find or lure out that bastard Greg."

After all, the great Lu Xun once said -

"The road is made by walking. If there is no road ahead, then we will make one."

I feel this makes a lot of sense and is also applicable to this maze-like city of Stoneville.

What's more, he has already destroyed the house, so I don't believe Greg can still sit still.

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

As he asked and answered his own questions, he had already made up his mind.

Then, he mobilized the solar power in his body and concentrated the power into his fist. The scorching light emanating from the surface illuminated everything around him like daylight, just like the sun.

A huge amount of magic power filled the air, forming a shock wave that ruthlessly destroyed the houses and walls in front. The scorching flames burned the earth as if everything was melted, revealing a passage emitting a scorching breath.

"Sure enough, it's more convenient to do it this way."

The only pity was that the passage he opened did not lead to the throne, but to the sea.

But he was not impatient.

Since I made a mistake, the worst that can happen is that I can just try again.

In this way, he continued to gather his magic power and waved it down again and again.

The city of Stonewell seemed to be emitting a mournful cry, and was greeted by tremors again and again. The earth trembled slightly, and the sound drifted into the distance.

As time went by, the maze-like city of Stonewell had become interconnected, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. There was still slowly flowing magma on the ground that had not yet cooled down, and the extreme heat distorted the air.

And Reinhardt also stopped.

It wasn't that he felt any sympathy for the crumbling castle, but that he had finally found the way to the royal court.

“It really is true that hard work pays off.”

He sighed slightly in his heart, whistled happily and walked slowly towards the royal court.

But then again, this guy Greg can really sit still. His castle has been demolished by him like this, but he hasn't made any move. Is he that patient?

When he arrived at the royal court, he finally understood why...

Inside the royal court, everything that came into view was so familiar yet so strange—

On both sides stood countless tombstones of unknown people, with pale yellow wildflowers and weeds growing in front of the graves, and broken weapons scattered around.

What was different from the last time I came here was that a huge dragon corpse was leaning against the side of the road, and the blood that flowed out dyed the ground red, and the flying dragon's head was nowhere to be found.

In the moonlight, it looked so strange.

But this was not the strangest thing. The strangest thing was that in the garden on the road leading to the throne, two people were trembling.

To be precise, it was a rondo between a woman and a monster.

The woman participating in this rondo was a dark-skinned barbarian woman who was scantily clad.

He fought the monster with only the two short-handled axes in his hands, but the monster smashed the golden axe down with overwhelming strength, causing the ground to tremble.

If I remember correctly, that woman should be Neferi Lu?

So, that monster is...

When Reinhardt saw the monster's true appearance, he was a little confused.

"That thing turned out to be Greg?!"

The dry and messy white hair like weeds fluttered in the air, the old golden crown and the old face that looked like Ge Fulei's grandmother, it was definitely Ge Rick.

But what's wrong with this guy?

Not only does it completely differ from what I remember, but it also has a kind of beauty that makes me lose my composure.
