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

"...What's this?"

Greg was completely terrified.

Although he did not understand magic, this power reminded him of the deity of the Golden Tree - [Eternal Queen] Marika.

However, this way of presentation can be said to have never been seen before.

"Dissipate."

Mimicry Nuclear Explosion——

The moment the words fell, the wind stopped.

The sound disappeared.

It was as if everything in the world had stopped flowing.

The only thing that can flow is the terrifying and dangerous magic that Reinhardt emits.

Immediately afterwards, a pure white light rose from the city of Stonewell, illuminating the entire border area and mercilessly dispelling the darkness.

The earth trembled, the sky wailed, and everything was trembling.

It was as if the heaven and earth were pierced through.

The torrent of light completely engulfed Reinhardt and Greg, rushing towards the distant other side of the night sky.

The subsequent sun emblem was engraved on the vast sky, above the dark clouds, and even on the crown of the golden tree.

Solar, who was in Galid in the distance, noticed this light and the convergence, and immediately stood with his hands open, praising the light.

There was no mistake, that was the light of the sun, he finally found it!

When Monggot in the royal city saw this scene, he understood that his nephew Greg was dead, and the fragment of the magic ring that should have belonged to Godwin was probably in Reinhardt's hands.

But this is not critical.

The most important thing is that the light actually overshadowed the brilliance of the golden tree.

This is a provocation to the Golden Dynasty, to the Golden People, and an insult to the Golden Tree!

He, as the last king of the Royal City of Rodel, absolutely cannot allow this!!!

The light gradually dissipated.

The creatures in the border area were once again threatened, and this was the second time in just a few days.

No one knows what happened in Stonewell City.

No one dared to get close.

Because the demigod entrenched there, [Limb Retrieval] Greg, is very scary, and he is afraid that he will be captured and have his limbs reattached.

However, it is not only the people living on the border who feel fear, but also the two fingers that have been hidden.

[He is back. The taboo of the golden tree, the sinner of gold has made a comeback.]

In the dim room, a hand with only two fingers swayed gracefully, "opening" to connect with companions who were far away.

【Ah, we already know this.】

[Yes, now that the Shard King Greg has been lost, the second demigod has fallen so far. How should we deal with this?]

【...】

【...】

【...】

This question silenced the fingers.

Yes, how to deal with it and how they should deal with it is indeed a very serious problem.

If it is not handled properly, then there will probably be no need for these fingers to continue to exist.

Are we going to send out killers again?

However, as soon as this idea emerged, it was ruthlessly crushed by the fingers. It was impossible.

Because they have no one available.

Although it is true that the Round Table Hall is temporarily under the leadership of their two fingers, most of the members of the original Round Table Hall have died, and the current member who inherited the position of the head of the secret envoy [Dusk is approaching] Riley is no match for the original Krepp.

And [Sir Hundred Wisdom] Gideon Ofnir is powerful, but he has his own ideas.

As for the others, they are basically not up to standard.

Even though they pursued the Ring and wanted to reforge it to become the new King of Elden, their strength was completely unmatched by their ambition.

What's more, besides the sinner Reinhardt, they have other enemies to face.

[The sinner of gold, possessing a power too great, possesses a law that is a lost law from a previous age, having lost the bondage of the blessing of gold, that which was lost has returned again...]

Finger's tone was heavy and vicissitudes of life.

If the last era had not been destroyed and the Supreme Will had not re-selected the messengers, how could the original messenger pair of birds have become the current group of messenger pair of fingers?

How should we respond?

[...Accept.]

When giving this answer, he seemed full of helplessness.

Now that he has become a Faded One and has proven his worth in the slaughter, we should send the Finger Witch to guide him.

[Let's take him into the Round Table Hall. I'll personally guide him there.]

The suggestion was made by the two fingers of the leadership round table hall.

Since he took over the management of the Round Table Hall, he has seen countless powerful people and has realized a truth -

A hero can only be proven by killing;

The hands of a king must be stained with the blood of heroes.

Whether it was Gefulei, the first king of Elden, or Radagon, the second king of Elden, they both emerged victorious from the slaughter and led their armies to suppress other forces.

Therefore, Godwin, who relied on winning over rather than killing to conquer, was considered too merciful by them and was not suitable for the position of King of Elden.

At least, not the King of Elden in their minds.

[So, what about those demigods who still have the qualifications? ]

[...They are losers who have missed their chance, so they should be sacrificed to the new king.]

[Correct. Those Shard Kings are no longer qualified to compete for the Elden Ring, nor are they qualified to become the new King of Elden. Even the self-satisfied [King of Blessing] Mungat is the same.]

This position has been vacant for far too long. Wick, a Knight of the Round Table with the King's rank, was bewitched by the Ancient Dragon Lance Sanx into joining the Cult of the Sun. Bernal, also with Holly Lu's Beast King rank, has also failed. Perhaps we should let Reinhardt try, even though he's a sinner of gold.

In fact, the Two Fingers don't care whether the King of Elden was once a sinner.

After all, Marika is also a sinner, and she committed a serious crime and smashed the Elden Ring, but so what?

Aren't we still relying on Marika to maintain the remaining Elden Rings?

As long as it is beneficial to the Golden Tree, the continuation of the Golden Dynasty, and to maintaining their position and welcoming back the Supreme Will.

Then, it doesn’t matter even if the person is a wicked person who has committed a heinous crime.

[But what should be done with Marika's last child? And what about the rebellious god-like [Moon Princess] Rani?]

Suddenly, one of the fingers asked this question.

[It's okay. We don't know her purpose yet, and judging by her actions, it won't affect us, so let her go.]

[As for the sinner Lani, the fate of the starry sky remains uncertain. We will wait for the witch to guide Reinhardt to kill [Star Crusher General] Ratan before we take action.]

【Seconded. 】

【Seconded. 】

【Seconded. 】

...

The fingers' joint deliberation decided Reinhardt's fate, and decided to include him in the selection of King Elden, and passed it unanimously.

Afterwards, the finger in the round table hall awakened its own witch.

[Enya, tell Ariana to resume her identity as the Finger Witch and guide [Kalia Knight] Reinhardt.]

[And inform the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, Sir Gideon of Wisdom, and tell him to come to see Reinhardt when he arrives at the Hall of the Round Table.]

"Yes, Master Finger, I understand."

Sitting not far away, a skinny old woman with a dry appearance slowly woke up from a nap and responded in an old and slow voice.

In addition to special qualifications, patience is also an indispensable part of becoming a finger-removing witch. The two-fingered adults often argue for a long time over a problem, and they cannot sit still.

After all, the two fingers are of the same race, and they all have their own ideas, or even ulterior motives.

As for Ariana mentioned by Two Fingers, she was not someone with the same name, but the maid sent by Marika to follow Reinhardt a thousand years ago.

It is true that she is from the side branch of the Golden Bloodline, but at the same time, she was also chosen by the Two Fingers to be the Finger Witch early on.

But Marika was completely unaware of this and perfectly sent Ariana to Reinhardt.

And these two fingers, including the witches below, have never been completely loyal to the Golden Law. They can accept all forces, even the Scarlet Corruption.

Therefore, the person playing chess is never just Malika herself, at least there are also "Him" and her two fingers.

At the same time, the chessboard that had been covered in dust for thousands of years finally started moving again at this moment.

The chess piece touched by two fingers fell on the chessboard, making a crisp echo.

There is no regret in making a move, but at the same time, a wrong move can lead the player to an irretrievable situation.

-------------------------------------

In the early morning, the golden tree gradually bloomed, light poured down from the sky, and a scorching wind blew through the city of Stonewell.

The city was in a mess at this time. Not only was the urban area in a mess like a ruin, but a bottomless sinkhole was revealed at the location of the royal court.

The dark and deep pit was filled with a scorching heat that was enough to distort the air. The surrounding tombstones and flowers were completely evaporated without leaving any residue.

All that was left were the crumbling buildings eroded by magic and a pure sky without any clouds.

The fact that he was able to cause such a small area of damage was due to his efforts to control his magic power and concentrate it on one point.

If it had been allowed to spread, I'm afraid this royal court would have ceased to exist.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

In the dim passage filled with heat, faint sounds of conversation could be heard.

In a room on one side, the dim light flickered gently, casting two shadows on the smoked yellow wall.

The barbarian woman bent down deeply and bowed to express her respect, then slowly raised her body to look at him and introduced herself.

"My name is Neferi Lu. Like you, I am a Faded warrior and a member of the Round Table Hall."

"I came here to challenge Greg on the orders of my adoptive father, Sir Baizhi. Unfortunately, I'm not well-trained and not strong enough. If it weren't for your intervention, I'm afraid I would have been killed by Greg's axe."

"You're welcome, Miss Neferi. My name is Reinhardt, and I'm an unknown faded one."

Reinhardt extended his hand and shook Nefeli's hand as a gesture of friendship.

"I'm not here to help you, but I'm here for this guy Greg, so there's no need to thank you anymore."

As he guessed, the scantily clad woman with tanned skin and wielding dual axes was indeed Neferi.

But this woman's physique is really strong.

It's amazing that he was able to survive intact after being forced to that point by Greg and then experiencing the ravages of the royal court.

He originally thought that Nefeli would be affected by the aftermath and injured.

But unexpectedly, this woman hid here at the moment the nuclear explosion came, and escaped the disaster.

Really smart.

"Unknown?"

Nefeli was initially unresponsive to this introduction, but then she let out a shamefaced laugh, "...Your power is undeniable. If beings like you are unknown, then the other Faded Ones must also be unknown."
