Elden Clergyman

And his attention was instantly attracted by one of them.

It was a man wearing a silver helmet, holding a scepter, standing there in a rather relaxed posture.

But it was not the scepter that caught Lord's eye.

But the silver helmet of that person was covered with...

"ear!"

------

PS: Ears are an item in Dark Souls III. They look similar to those on Baizhi's helmet. Their official name is "Proof of the Promise". They are an extremely rare item and are necessary to complete all achievements.

There are two ways to obtain ears. One is to make a corresponding oath when others are invaded, enter the world where the Fire Lord (called the Hook Master in the Magic Circle) is, and help repel the invaders. You can get one, but because this kind of thing is rare, you can't expect to get ears in this way.

Another way to obtain...

To use the analogy of the magic circle, it is like throwing six Rodel knights on the super long stairs leading up to the royal city, three of them are in a group, and they have to be killed to get the materials. At the same time, the elements such as "large map, time-consuming to run around", "elite monsters, high difficulty", "monsters gather in groups, difficult to deal with" are all gathered, and the explosion rate is extremely touching.

In the case of 2500 souls, it is considered lucky to get one out of 50 souls. If you are unlucky, you may not even see one out of 200 million souls.

To increase their drop rates, players would often don the head of a Mimic and wield a rapier to increase their chances of getting loot. Even so, they'd often become insane, their minds reduced to mere "Ear, ear, ear? Ear, ear, ear!" They were nicknamed "Darkmoon Madman."

The corpses of the monsters called "Silver Knights" that dropped these precious materials could fill the entire land. The Dark Moon Light Sword that could only be exchanged for thirty ears was not so much the power of the Dark Moon as it was the resentment of the millions of dead Silver Knights, which still cursed Soul 5 to this day.

Attached is a picture of an old (witch) woman eating ears.

This is the dragon girl in our Dark Souls. Do you have a dragon girl like this in the Circle of Magic?

Chapter 17: I'm so mad I can't hide my tears

"You're such a weirdo..."

Sir Gideon Ofnir, the wisest of the three, looked at Lord in front of him with a subtle look in his eyes.

Just now, this new faded person suddenly shouted "ear" when he was about to say hello to him.

Then, he saw the other party's head suddenly turned into a treasure chest monster with sharp teeth and sticking out tongue, and a rapier was taken out in his hand.

But just when he thought the person coming was up to no good and was about to fight, the other party suddenly muttered, "No, I've already finished brushing," and then instantly changed back to his original appearance.

After that, I walked up to him normally and started communicating with him as if nothing had happened.

As for the changes just now...

"You know how to farm materials, right? There's a silver ear similar to the one you have. Oh my god, that drop rate..."

This is how the other party explained it.

Sir Baizhi understood every word he said, but he really didn't understand what they meant when they were put together.

As for Lord, although he was wiped out from the entire world in the simulation, the most impressive place was still the long stairway to the gods in front of Anor Londo.

I don't know if it's because of the ghosts of the dead Silver Knights, but compared to other places, the monsters in that place can be said to be unusually durable, and the explosion rate of ears is also terribly low.

Only after all the monsters there were completely wiped out, and the entire area was destroyed into nothingness, did he finally gain his 30th ear.

Although he successfully redeemed the reward, it took too long, which left him with some psychological trauma. After seeing the pile of ears on Baizhi's body, his memories of his past life were directly awakened, but fortunately he recovered quickly.

As for Sir Baizhi, or simply Baizhi...

"Senior, I'd like to give you a piece of advice. Right now, you only have access to the Round Table Hall. In other words, you're just a passerby. Keep this in mind and don't overstep your bounds."

After confirming that Lord was not a madman who had lost his mind, Baizhi looked at him and spoke slowly.

"If you truly wish to become a member of the Round Table, follow the guidance of the Blessing, defeat the Fragment King, and become the holder of the Great Rune. Then, the door to the deepest room in the Round Table will open for you, and you will be able to hear the advice of Two Fingers..."

"What are two fingers?" Lord asked sincerely.

Baizhi: “…?”

"You don't know what two-fingers are?"

"Yes, I lost my memory, then I shook someone's hand and came here."

Although he was teleported here, Melina herself did not follow, but stayed at the previous blessed place - this was what Alice had just told Lord.

As for Alice, although she was now standing next to Lord, she teleported back after telling him the news.

But from beginning to end, no one in the Round Table Hall, including Baizhi, seemed to notice her presence except Lord.

"you......"

Looking at the pair of clear eyes in front of him, whose beauty had not been tainted by knowledge, Sir Baizhi was silent for a while.

"Never mind. Anyway, just remember that only after you obtain the Great Rune will you be officially considered a member of the Round Table."

"Oh." Lord nodded, then remembered something: "How many did you get?"

Sir Baizhi: "...I didn't get it."

"Then what about the hammer?"

Lord turned and left.

Seeing this man dressed so coolly, standing there with an arrogant look, and talking like a knowledgeable guy, he thought he was about to get all the Big Runes.

When I asked, I found out that he didn't have any. Isn't this a pure shock wave?

Looking at Lord's leaving back, Sir Baizhi took a few deep breaths, shook his head and sighed.

"Round Table Hall, each generation is really getting worse than the previous one..."

After separating from Baizhi, Lord walked around the round table hall and chatted with everyone else inside.

Diaros, a man wearing silver armor and looking like a warrior, asked him if he had seen a girl named 'Lena', who he said was his follower but now disappeared.

D, wearing a strange armor with a head on the chest, claims to be hunting the Dead Born and warns him that the Dead Born are dangerous and he should not approach them easily, especially when the 'ship' appears.

Colin, the miracle teacher - oh no, it's called prayer, said that recently many faded people could not see the guidance of blessings, and after knowing that he had 'amnesia', he briefly explained to him the knowledge about 'two fingers'.

——However, Lord did not understand. After listening to the whole article, he knew that if he could get a big rune, he could go to see Two Fingers.

Isn't this the place where you exchange souls after killing bosses? Oh, no, this place seems to be called Remembrance.

Afterwards, he met 'Xiu Gu', a self-proclaimed hybrid captive. He looked quite different from a human. He had an iron felt in front of him and was forging iron while talking to Lord. It was obvious that he was upgrading his equipment.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. The responsibility for being captured isn't yours. And I don't reject weapon forging. No matter who I am, I can make weapons stronger. Technology and time won't betray me..."

"Also, this can temporarily help me forget the terror of that adult..."

After chatting with the blacksmith, he walked down the stairs. There was a fog door blocking the way. There was a familiar goblin statue next to it, but because he didn't have the stone sword key, Lord had to return the same way and turned into a room that looked like a bedroom.

Then, he stood there in a daze.

"Chaos?"

"Ah, compatriot, you are here at last."

Looking at the familiar figure in the room, Lord had a subtle expression.

Why is this person here?

Because of her previous contact with Chaos, Melina had talked to him about the Mad Fire while they were riding horses together. When she was with Blaze and Seren, she also asked about the knowledge about the 'Mad Fire'.

Although in the end, Lord still couldn't figure out what the crazy fire was, where it came from, and where it was going.

But he at least understood one thing, that is, this thing was hated by people and dogs as much as he was, or even more so.

No matter how much he was hated by everyone, at least he still had Melina and Alice by his side, and people like Blaze who were willing to be his buddies. Even Van Lei, the white mask at the beginning, although a little sarcastic, did explain the situation to him. But Dian Huo...

Anyway, among all the beings he has met so far, not a single one has a positive opinion of this thing.

Melina said it was "unacceptable to the world", Seren said it "could unite Kalia and the Academy", and Blaze also said "if the Mad Fire forces emerge, the Shattering War might not even be fought."

The junction belongs to Sun Xiaochuan.

And such a being now appeared in the Round Table Hall...

"I can hide, too, my fellow man."

Chaos smiled slightly and raised his head, revealing an area below his neck.

There, embedded is a chaotic fragment that seems to have swallowed up all colors.

"Besides, it's all thanks to you, my compatriot."

Although as a lunatic, he was hiding, but anyone with a normal mind should not come to the Round Table Hall, the territory of the two fingers who support the Golden Rule.

But the brain of a crazy person...

Family members, let’s take a look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"I'm not a spirit like the witch next to you, and I don't have anywhere else to go. There happened to be an empty room in the Round Table Hall, so I came here."

Chaos smiled, his empty eyes covered by cloth looking at him.

"And I know you will definitely come here, and that child won't come with you. So if you want to talk about something that is inconvenient for her to know, this is the perfect place."

Lord was a little confused: "What is it that is inconvenient for her to know?"

"A lot." Chaos said softly: "For example, your essence, my existence, her fate..."

After a pause, she shook her head.

"But now is not the time to talk about this."

"I will wait here, waiting for the rekindling of my compatriots, waiting for the return of the stars, waiting for the decision of fate..."

"When all is in place, chaos will come, and fire will devour fire."

She looked at Lorde with a mysterious tone.

"I sincerely look forward to that day."

Another Riddler, huh?

Looking at Chaos in front of him, Lord's mouth twitched and he left the room.

As soon as he walked out of the door, the voice of the old man Xiu Gu, who was tied up at the side of the door, rang out.

"You, just entered that room?"

"What's wrong?" Lord looked at him: "Is there something wrong with that room?"

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Xiu Gu paused.

"It's just that the room had been empty and no one wanted it. But ever since that strange woman entered, the door has never been opened again, and no one can enter..."

Lord raised his eyelids.

He's also seizing people's homes, right? He's both a riddle and a scoundrel, no wonder everyone wants to punish him.

"I understand. I'll pay attention."

After thanking Xugu for the reminder, Lord walked around the Round Table Hall again. He didn't find anyone else, but he did find a statue selling things.

It’s just a pity that he had spent all the runes he had saved on learning magic and playing with the hound’s tusk. Now he can only look at it and can’t afford to buy the things inside.

We've explored enough, it's time to leave.

Thinking of this, according to what he had learned from Colin before, he walked to the Great Blessing in the Round Table Hall and was about to teleport away.

The voice of D, who was wearing strange armor, suddenly rang out.

"Oh, by the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."

D raised his head and looked at Lord with a serious tone.

"Besides the Deadborn, there's another 'person' you should pay special attention to."

"Deathborn Knight 'Fia', a madman who chose to wield his sword against the Golden Law in order to protect the Deadborn."

"If you detect her presence, do not approach. She possesses a strange weapon that can taint the souls of those she kills, transforming them into deadborn beings. Only the Holy Law can combat this."

"Well, I see."

After the conversation, Lord touched the Great Blessing and returned to his previous position.

"How is the Round Table Hall?"
