Elden Clergyman

"Alice, where did you learn that move just now? How much additional points are required? How many runes are required?"

That golden meteor just now was so dazzling, and it directly destroyed half of the monster's health bar, destroying all its limbs. It also provided a super-large range of friendly buffs around it. While all resistances were improved, the attack power would also increase, and the blood volume could be slowly restored.

It was so dazzling and fierce that it immediately aroused his interest.

"I taught myself."

Alice thought for a moment.

"You probably can't learn this system right now, but as for the other one, I can make a beggar's version for you later, which will be usable when your faith is around 50."

"What about the original?"

"99 Faith, and the Concentration must be maxed out, otherwise even if you have enough Faith you won't be able to release it."

What explosion magic?

Hearing such high casting requirements, Lord shook his head and thought that it seemed that this thing was not meant for him for the time being.

As for the beggars version...

When it comes to the Beggar's Edition in the Souls world, it is basically certain that it is different from the original version.

For example, some powerful weapons and magic in the hands of BOSSes, after being learned by players, cannot be replicated one-to-one, but can be taken to the circus without any assessment and can be performed directly on stage.

After chatting with Alice, Lord remembered that there seemed to be someone next to him.

He turned his head to look at Blaze, looked at the wolf ears on her head, and recalled the wolf howl he had just heard. After thinking for a moment, he probably realized the other party's identity, and directly made the "secret code" taught to him by Brother Curry.

Click, a snap of the fingers.

Seeing this familiar code, Blaze was stunned for a moment.

Where did he find such a monster?

And that blonde girl, listening to their conversation, she knew that the golden impact just now was released by her. Just at that moment, she almost thought it was Queen Marika who came.

"My name is Blaze."

After coming to her senses, she stood up, poking her giant sword and bowed slightly to the two of them.

"Thank you both for your help."

Blaze?

Lord took a quick look at the half-wolf girl in front of him.

He was over two meters tall, with black hair and wolf ears, and a body curve that even fur armor couldn't hide.

It is a classic soul car.

There is a huge treasure chest in front.jpg

"My name is Lord, and I'm a friend of Brother Kale."

After introducing himself, Lord began to chat with Blaze. While chatting, he also lit a warm fire and helped Blaze heal the injuries he had suffered in the battle.

While the two were talking, Alice walked to the place where the monster died, hooked her finger, and a fragment flew out and fell into her palm.

After looking carefully for a while, her eyes became deep.

The situation is a bit troublesome...

Before coming to this place, she thought that the "strangeness" here was at most like the group of people who broke her router before, or they had some kind of god-killing weapon and were trying to cause trouble.

At worst, we can just use a larger scale, more powerful weapons, or unite with a few gods or kings to go to the surrounding worlds and planets to get the router she left there.

But now, looking at the fragments in her hand, she realized that things might be even worse than the worst outcome she had expected.

The fragments of a completely destroyed world, after endless drifting and contaminated by the auras of countless worlds, finally landed here...

There must be more than one such fragment, although for some reasons, she was sure that these things all fell near the border.

But the same place does not mean the same time.

The time here does not only refer to the present and the future, nor does it refer to the time before and after they fall, but it is very simple -

It crashed into the timeline of this world.

After all, time itself is part of the world.

However, because these "fragments" come from outside the world, the world itself will instinctively reject the changes and pollution they bring, and "order" can offset their impact to the greatest extent. Even if they hit the timeline, they will not produce any huge impact like the butterfly effect. At most, they will only cause some minor changes that have no effect on the essence and the overall situation.

But the crux of the matter is not here.

The key issue is that this piece of debris is still stained with the aura of many other worlds, and it is definitely not something that was "accidentally contaminated while passing by". After all, if it arrived in another world first, it should have crashed into that world, rather than drifting and landing here.

What this means and what impact it will have, not only her but also the huge void behind her cannot be fully predicted.

Moreover, although the world will reject the changes brought about by such fragments, if someone can absorb the power contained in such fragments, it is equivalent to transforming the fragments into part of the world, then the world itself will not reject the changes brought about by them, and it may also cause some bigger problems.

Although the probability is low, it is by no means impossible.

Besides these, she also noticed a small thing.

That is, within this fragment, there is still a trace of the monster's last echo in his life.

"??丆屷庡懇?丆撨暟?祅充综合ba??両......"

Listening to the chaotic sounds coming from the fragments, she raised her hand, golden light flowed from her fingertips, and she used the power of the law to decompose and weave it, and finally revealed its original meaning in the words of the Golden People.

"Ah, my Lord Lord, the flame that burns the world..."

"You finally came to pick us up..."

Chapter 13: Border Zone Villains

"what?"

Lord was stunned when he saw the strange fragments Alice handed to him.

And just as he was distracted, the fragment suddenly melted in his hand. Even when he opened the prop bar, he could not find any trace of it.

Alice didn't answer, but just looked at the place where the fragment disappeared, thinking.

Because he was used to Alice's Riddler, Lord didn't ask any further questions. He looked through the system bar again and confirmed that he was not in any strange state. Then he didn't think much about it and continued to talk with Blaze.

Because of Kale's introduction and the friendship of helping to fight monsters just now, the communication between the two sides was very smooth.

After a short conversation, Lord learned the purpose of Blaze's coming here, which was to hunt down the traitor 'Dariwell'.

As for Blaze, he was halfway through his conversation when, in the blink of an eye, he saw that Lord in front of him had completely changed.

The armor with burning embers on his body turned into the uniform of the Grek soldiers that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. The spiral sword in his hand that pierced the monster turned into a small wooden stick that seemed to have just been picked up from the ground. The original sense of oppression disappeared in an instant, as if he had become a different person.

"This is......"

"Well, I have two accounts, and I'm currently practicing on my trumpet."

What does it mean to have two trumpets? What does it mean to practice the trumpet?

It would have been fine if Lord hadn't explained, but once he did, Blaze became even more confused.

Is it something like a divine clone? But the problem is, a divine clone would at least have to be separated, but this person...

Blaze was a little confused.

"Well, if I find any trace of Darriwell, I'll come back here to find you."

"Well, if I'm not here, you can leave your advice on the stone over there, and I'll come find you then."

After the communication, Lord blew the whistle, called out Torret, and continued his exploration.

"That Blaze is Lani's 'shadow'."

During the conversation with Blaze, Melina, who had been hiding in the dark and not showing up, sat behind Lord and spoke slowly.

"I said, I don't want to interfere in your relationship problems, but I really don't recommend you to have too much contact with her, she..."

Melina didn't continue.

The Night of the Black Knife marked the beginning of the collapse of the entire Golden Dynasty.

That night, the "Golden" Godwin, a crown prince who was universally recognized as "perfect" from his bloodline to his abilities, from his character to his strength, was stabbed with a black knife that was destined to kill him. Although his body was immortal, his soul was completely dead.

Afterwards, Queen Marika disappeared and the Elden Ring was shattered. In order to fight for the fragments of the ring, the famous "Shattering War" broke out. The entire border area was littered with corpses and countless wailings. After many years, it became what it is today.

The mastermind behind the Black Blade Night, and the one who stole the destined death, is the Witch Lani.

Although there are many doubts in this matter, Melina is not very clear about the details.

But what is certain is that the witch Lani bears a considerable part of the responsibility for the border area becoming what it is now.

And she herself is definitely an extremely dangerous existence.

"I believe you."

Lord nodded, not doubting Melina's words at all.

Even without talking about the traditional evil magic teacher of the Soul School, Melina is his fire keeper. How can he not trust his own fire keeper?

"But Melina, have you ever thought about why I've always been so obsessed with becoming stronger?"

Melina was startled.

"...Isn't it about fighting for the Elden Ring?"

"of course not."

Lord spread his hands.

"To be honest, I still don't understand what you're talking about as 'laws', and I don't know why we're fighting over them."

"The reason I want to become stronger is very simple. I hope that when I encounter something, I can act according to my own ideas without being affected by the limitations of my strength."

Good guy? Bad guy? Lord wasn't some online judge. He had no interest in, nor did he feel qualified or capable of, judging others.

Except for those who are really bad to the point of festering, in a crazy and cruel world like the Soul System, it is normal to get something on your hands even if you just want to survive.

If we use the standards of a civilized and peaceful world to judge the residents of the soul world, there may be some innocent people if we shoot them all, but if we shoot every other person, they cannot be called fish that slip through the net. There are probably not many fish in the net.

What's more, if it really comes down to it, Lord doesn't think that he is any better than other guys because he kills everyone wherever he goes, from knights to zombies, and even street dogs. He kills the bad guys in the border area with three sticks. He may even be the one who deserves to be hanged the most.

But he didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.

After all, up to now, not to mention Alice and Melina, even the sarcastic Fan Lei is still alive and well.

As for the rest of the people, as soon as they saw that he was a Faded One, they attacked him directly. You couldn't just let him stand there and wait to die, right?

Melina said that something was wrong with Lani and that she was dangerous, and he believed it.

But no matter how wrong it was, no matter how dangerous it was, at least the other party did not chop him with a knife the first moment they met, and he also gave him a soul-calling bell and a portion of ashes. Even if it was entrusted by someone else, at least he helped him.

Although this friendship is not enough to make him feel grateful, the same thing still applies.

He will be kind to whoever is kind to him.

If the other party shows kindness to him in this world where people hate dogs, he will be willing to respond with kindness.

It's that simple.

Melina was stunned for a moment.

"So... you're not going to fight for the Elden Ring?"

"Fight."

Lord answered casually.

"I just said that becoming stronger is mainly so that when encountering problems, I can do what I want without being restricted by my strength. I didn't say that I won't fight for the magic ring."

"So what you just said..."

"Didn't I tell you? I believe you."

To be honest, Lord didn't know what Melina was struggling with. In the soul world, wasn't it common sense to follow the Fire Keeper's words?

In this ignorant world, if I don’t believe what I, the Fire Keeper, say, should I believe Patch?

"Didn't you tell me that the Faded Ones should follow the guidance of the Blessing? Then I will go. You said you wanted to take the Great Rune, so let's go get it. You said you wanted to go to the Royal City, so I will go."

"Anyway, I've lost my memory and you won't harm me, so I'll just do as you say."

"Or do you regret it and think I'm wasting my time licking the map, and want to go back to the main storyline? Then I can do that too."

"I......"

Melina opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, then turned her face slightly and whispered.
