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

"Lord Rhine, why are you here? And did you hear the screams just now?"

"...As for me, I just found Roger here and had a brief chat with him." He answered calmly.

"You actually found Mr. Roger?!"

Neferi was surprised when she heard this.

Reinhardt had approached her before, hoping she could provide clues about Roger's whereabouts, but she hadn't seen Mr. Roger for a long time.

So I started looking for it separately from him.

But he didn't expect that the other party had gotten there first and found Mr. Roger here.

In this case, the screams just now...

Neferi seemed to have thought of something, her pupils suddenly shrank, and then she said seriously: "Lord Rhine, please leave the Round Table Hall as soon as possible?"

Reinhardt: ???

When he heard this, he was a little confused.

What do you mean?

Nefeli saw his confusion and explained, "Lord Rhine, perhaps my adoptive father hasn't told you that weapons are forbidden in the Round Table Hall, and the most strictly forbidden thing here is killing. Now that something like this has happened between you and Mr. Roger, I'm afraid even my adoptive father won't let you go."

"And Lord Two-Fingers will probably make a move too, so let's go."

Nefeli urged him anxiously.

But he laughed, "Wait a minute, Miss Neferi, did you misunderstand something?"

"That scream was indeed made by Roger, but I didn't kill him, let alone use violence. I even cured his hidden illness."

"...Are you telling the truth?"

Neferi was obviously still a little skeptical about what he said.

If it was really a cure, how could he scream in pain like that?

In the past, when Lord Colin used prayer to heal people, everyone said that it felt very comfortable, so how could it be so painful?

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, Miss Neferi can go in and see for herself."

As he spoke, he moved aside to make way for the utility room.

Nefeli looked at the wide-open door of the utility room, then looked at Reinhardt, whose expression was calm and even composed. After a little thought, she nodded and chose to believe Reinhardt.

If Mr. Roger was really killed, how could Lord Rhine appear so calm?

Little did he know that if Roger really died at his hands, he would still look like this, and would even destroy the body and clean up all traces.

Things like fire are just so convenient.

However, it is no wonder that this group of people and Nefeli are so curious that they even gather here.

Because Roger's shouting just now was indeed very loud, he didn't sound like a dying person at all, he was full of energy.

But this is normal.

After all, the burning pain of the power of the sun is not something that ordinary people can withstand. Even Marennia cannot withstand the spray of the power of the sun into her body, let alone Roger.

It is a blessing to be alive, and my body is resilient enough.

If it were a weaker one, it would have probably been burned to ashes by now.

"...In that case, it seems that you have completed what you were supposed to do, Lord Rhine. What are you going to do next? Continue to challenge the demigods and search for the fragments of the Elden Ring?"

Nefeli, who had chosen to trust him completely, asked again.

But he shook his head, "No, there's one thing I haven't done yet. I need to talk to D."

"...Lord D?! You actually know him?" Nefeli seemed very surprised.

To be honest, D's personality and reputation in the Round Table Hall are not that good. It can be said that apart from Roger, who has parted ways with him, D seems to have no other friends.

He is also very powerful and often goes out to fight against the dead and find the roots of death.

Many of the faded have witnessed that powerful and heroic figure.

There were even rumors that such a powerful D also had the potential to become a king, just like Lord Bagram, the [White Wolf War Ghost], and Lord Vic, a former member of the Round Table Hall.

"Well, I guess so. We've met once before, and the matter I'm looking for him for this time is very important. It's about an old friend of mine."

"...Is that so?" Nefili frowned after hearing what he said.

Regarding Reinhardt, she had recently heard from her adoptive father, Sir Baizhi, that he was a powerful man who was active in the Shattered War and once faced the two demigods, [Valkyrie] Marennia and [Star Shattering General] Latan, alone.

Possessing powerful strength, he is also the one most likely to become the King of Elden.

Then his old friend must have existed thousands of years ago.

But D hadn't been at the border for long, so how could he be connected to Lord Reinhardt's old friend...

But she didn't ask too much, just nodded and said: "Then please follow me, I will take you to find him."

"Well, thank you. But before that, I have to go see Mr. Xiu Gu."

177.Aren’t rules meant to be broken? (5.2K)

Accompanied by Nefeli, he received the strengthened weapon from Grandpa Xugu.

It's strange to say, but for some reason, Grandpa Gu didn't ask him for the strengthening stone when he was strengthening the weapon this time.

Obviously, when Grandpa Iggy helped to strengthen it for the first time, he asked for some more.

Maybe Mr. Xiu Gu has some in stock.

He silently kept in mind the favor he owed.

However, it must be said that Grandpa Xiugu's craftsmanship is really great. Even Grandpa Iji, a mountain demon who is good at forging, cannot compare with Xiugu's craftsmanship.

After obtaining it, the transmission rate of magic power is much higher than before, and the pyroxene on it seems to have been forged more purely.

He is worthy of being called Xiu Gu who is able to create weapons that kill gods. His reputation is well-deserved.

Before leaving, Xiu Gu couldn't help but praise Rodlika because she had also found something she could do.

Not far from where Xiugu forged weapons, a small stall was set up, and Rodlika was quietly reading a book.

It is a book that records some of the information about spirit adjustment.

It was very subtle. This time Rodlika did not communicate with Xiugu through him.

Instead, she chose to tell Xiu Gu her thoughts herself.

The feelings inside are a bit complicated, just like seeing the sister I raised suddenly become independent one day. I feel happy for her, but also a little bit lost.

"Alas, the crying Little Red Riding Hood has really grown up."

Looking at the girl sitting sideways on the carpet not far away, reading seriously, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Later, under Neferi's guidance, he found D.

He sat at the round table, head down, motionless, and didn't react at all even when they approached him.

It feels like falling asleep.

Neferi said that such things are no longer surprising.

Every time D returned to the Round Table Hall, he would sit there motionless most of the time and rarely walked around.

And once they start moving, they basically go out to hunt the Deadborn.

It made their round table hall seem like just a place for him to sleep.

"...I'll help you wake him up."

Having said that, Nefeli was about to wake up the sleeping D, but he stopped her before she could open her mouth.

"Forget it, let me do it, it will be faster."

Neferi:?

Under Neferi's puzzled gaze, he reached out and patted D's helmet, "Hey, wake up, don't sleep anymore!"

Although it looked like Reinhardt didn't use much strength when he slapped the helmet, it made D's golden helmet clatter, and even had a barely noticeable dent where he slapped it.

His actions made Nefeli's eyelids twitch and she could hardly hold it back.

Isn't waking someone up this way just looking for trouble? Didn't we agree that we just wanted to talk?

It seems that the atmosphere is a little off.

What Neferi didn't know was that he did have something to talk to D about, but his main purpose was to cause trouble for D.

Haha, when we were in Shuihuan Village, D said with his own mouth that he didn’t take the Centipede Ring. If he hadn’t confirmed it with Roger and he also knew part of the plot, I’m afraid he would have believed it.

Moreover, the large number of unborn people that occurred in Shuihuan Village was inextricably linked to D.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, such as the brass dagger that was broken by death, it didn't matter. He didn't want to reason with this man.

After all, he had long since discarded "reason".

What's more, why should we talk about "reason" if we have "virtue"?

tie--

After he slapped him for the last time, the sleeping D slowly woke up and began to move like a machine.

She slowly raised her head and looked at him, but her eyes were full of malice.

"Oh, Mr. D, why are you looking at me like that? Did you just have a nightmare?"

Reinhardt immediately pretended to be innocent and said.

Although he couldn't see the expression on D's face because of the helmet, the angry look in his eyes showed that D was very angry.

Moreover, one of D's hands had already grasped the hilt of the gold and silver sword in his arms, as if he would strike him at any time.

He was just taking a nap, but he was hit like that. His head is still buzzing.

If he hadn't woken up quickly, he probably wouldn't have woken up in his life if he had been hit a few more times.

Nefeli, standing by, was also shocked. She looked at Reinhardt dumbfounded, her eyes seeming to say, "Are you kidding me? No one would believe such a thing!"

However, the next scene was beyond her expectations.

"...Oh, it's you. It seems you're much smarter than your friends. You understood the warning and didn't approach the Deadborn."

I don’t know if I believed his lies or what, but the anger that was visible to the naked eye just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Neferi: ???

Nefeli said she was completely dumbfounded and couldn't understand it at all.

"However, since you can come here to find me, it seems that you have something important to do?"

D's tone was very slow, and he sounded somewhat weak, as if he was unable to do anything, like an old man in his twilight years, and seemed very tired.

But the most important thing was that this time he smelled the scent of death on D.

The Law of the Sun contains death, so no matter how weak the breath is, he will not make a mistake.

Reinhardt's gaze towards D suddenly became subtle, and he slowly asked, "Mr. D, I came to see you this time mainly because I have a few questions in my mind that I would like your help to answer."

"Excuse me, do you know Mr. Roger?"

Hearing this, D's head, which had originally lowered again, slowly raised itself up again. "...Do you know Roger?"

There was a hint of surprise in the voice.

"That pathetic man hiding in the utility room in the corner of the Round Table Hall."

The surprise quickly faded into indifference, tinged with a hint of mockery and nostalgia. "...He used to be an excellent magic swordsman."

"He is gifted, optimistic, and seemingly calm, but he is determined and not easily influenced by others."

"But look, what's happening now?"

"Being pierced by filthy thorns, constantly spouting useless nonsense—"

"It's unsightly, like a half-dead body."
