Elden Clergyman

Seeing Lord coming back, Melina walked up to him and squatted down.

"It's okay, but there are a lot of Brother Dong and Riddler."

To be honest, Lord had a good impression of the Round Table Hall. After all, at least the people there didn't draw their knives and start fighting as soon as they saw him. The environment was also good, cleaner and tidier than the Fire Sacrifice Site. After chatting around, he also got a lot of useful information.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that there was no fire keeper in that place.

No matter how good the environment is, if you are alone, you are just a passerby.

"By the way, why didn't you go over there?" Lord asked Melina.

"I..." Melina opened her mouth: "It's not convenient for me to show up."

Seeing that she didn't seem to want to talk, Lord didn't ask any further questions. He nodded and passed over the topic.

"By the way, I met someone I know in the Round Table Hall. Can you guess who it is?"

acquaintance?

Melina was stunned for a moment.

Blazer? Impossible. Serena? Not right either. Curry? That's even funnier...

"It's Chaos." Lord didn't keep the conversation a secret and said directly, "The one you saw before, the one who played with crazy fire."

silence.

for a long time.

Melina came back to her senses and slowly raised her head, her expression extremely solemn and her tone more serious than ever before.

"Who did you just say was in the Round Table Hall?"

------

Chapter 18: No, buddy

Compared to Melina's reaction, Lord's reaction was very calm.

Although we haven't been together for a long time and don't have much daily communication and interaction, there is at least one thing about her character that even a blind person can probably see clearly.

That is, she really hates epilepsy.

Well, if you talk to her about other things that obviously pique her interest, she won't talk about it for long. Even if you talk about something she dislikes, she will just frown and not answer at most.

Even before, when Lord mistook her for a Fire Keeper and put his hand directly on her chest during the upgrade, her reaction was just like that. Although there was some reaction, it wasn't much.

But once the word "epilepsy" is mentioned, it becomes a serious matter.

Lord even suspected that there was some strange mechanism in the other party's brain. As long as these two words were mentioned, the alarm would be triggered immediately and he would transform on the spot.

He also knew that not telling Melina about Chaos would save him a lot of trouble, and judging by what Chaos said, he might talk about something that Melina wouldn't like to know, but...

"Don't be nervous."

⑷ Lord reached out and patted her shoulder gently.

Baba: "I didn't make any deal with her, I didn't promise her anything, I didn't even get close to her, I just listened to her speak in riddles."

㈣ "And the fact that I can tell you this means that I don't want to hide it from you."

"Otherwise, according to Brother Xiu Gu, no one except me can enter that room, and no one knows who is inside or what happened. As long as I don't take the initiative to mention it, who will know what is going on inside?"

Although Jiu is surrounded by mysterious riddlers and is used to getting along with them, that doesn't mean Lord likes riddles.

0 He prefers to speak his mind directly rather than resort to roundabout formalities.

5. "I believe you, Melina, so please believe me, too, okay?"

silence.

Looking at Lord in front of her, Melina was silent for a long time. Her lips moved, but no sound came out in the end.

Seeing that she didn't seem to know what to say for a moment, Lord simply spoke first and roughly repeated what Chaos had said.

Furthermore, she did not hide anything about her "compatriots," "my existence," or "her destiny."

"Honestly, I don't understand what she's saying."

Although they are compatriots, even in the world of Dark Souls, he is just an ash, not the first flame. He may be able to use the remaining flames to emit some heat, but he cannot be called a flame.

As for 'my existence' and 'her destiny', he and Melina hadn't been together for long, and he had only met Chaos twice. The only information he knew about these two people was their names and appearances, and he knew nothing about their identities or backgrounds.

How can you expect him to understand what these words mean? Is he just guessing?

Looking at Melina in front of him who lowered her head after he finished speaking, wondering what she was thinking about, Lord thought for a moment and spoke again.

"Well, if you don't want to talk about this topic, it doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I've told you all the information I have. If you come up with anything later, you can tell me."

After all, the advancement of some side quests requires time, and in reality it will probably take some time.

After saying this, he was ready to blow the whistle to call out Torret and continue licking the picture.

But just as he finished blowing the whistle and was about to jump on his horse, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled twice on the back, followed by a slightly hesitant and dull voice.

"I trust you."

Lord didn't answer, but turned around, smiled and patted her shoulder again, then got on the horse, stretched out his hand, pulled her up, and without saying anything else, began to continue exploring.

I went back and searched the places I had explored before, checking for omissions and gaining some souls and materials.

In the evening, I went to listen to Serlian's class and brought her some wild fruits I picked on the way. After that, I asked her about the knowledge of this world.

After checking again, Lord continued to explore the remaining unknown areas. First, after going down the lake, he encountered a flying dragon.

Looking at the familiar modeling and familiar movements, for a moment, Lord couldn't even tell whether he was in the Circle of Magic or Dark Souls.

BYD is too lazy to even change the model this time, right?

Because every move was so familiar to him, and his level had increased a bit, Lord killed the dragon without much effort and obtained the dragon's heart.

After wandering around for a while, I found a place called 'Dragon's Breath Ruins'. After dealing with the monsters, I found a treasure chest inside. When I opened it, white mist came out.

But Lord was not hit. Instead, he had anticipated it. Not only did he slash with his sword before firing, he also jumped back immediately after firing, and even raised a brass shield that had exploded.

After avoiding the fog, Lord laughed.

He then said that the scene after he came out was so similar to Rumi, and with the trap box, it must be the spiritual sequel to Soul 2, right?

No, wait.

Speaking of the spiritual sequel to Soul II, Lord suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a system called dual wielding in Soul II. If this game is really the spiritual sequel to Soul II, then dual wielding...

Really?

Feeling the blessing of the modules of the two weapons in his hands, what could Lord say?

Somewhat touching.

He announced that for the sake of the dual-wielding system, the door could be opened from this side when Xiao Gao went to the bathroom today.

After searching the ruins and walking around outside, Lord discovered a canyon to the north. After walking along it for a while, Torret suddenly stopped. The system also displayed the news of the invasion by "Blood Finger" Nelius.

After getting off the horse and confirming that the opponent was just a little bit of a level suppressor and was not as secretly modified as a certain red spirit who was "as strong as a monster in the Shadow Land and could not be defeated even if you tried your best", Lord did not switch to a big size, but took out the hound's fangs and chopped him off.

After chopping it, he noticed a figure wearing a bamboo hat appeared next to him and turned to look at him.

"Are you two teaming up to hide?"

"No, no, my name is Yura, and I'm the 'Blood Finger Hunter'. I'm here to hunt him."

Yura originally sensed the activity of the Blood Finger nearby and wanted to come over to help, but when he arrived, before he could even say his lines, he saw Nelius lying down. After seeing that Lord was ready for battle, he hurried to explain.

After confirming that the other party had no hostility, Lord put away his weapon and asked, "What is the bloody finger?"

"Blood Fingers are a group of faded beings driven mad by cursed blood, and they attack their compatriots crazily."

Speaking of bloody fingers, Yura's tone sounded a little sighing.

"As long as they roam this land, they are an unavoidable disaster. They have already gone mad. Don't show mercy to them just because they are your kind..."

I understand. It’s Red Spirit in a different skin. The person in front of you is the Dark Moon Police.

Then, Lord and Yura chatted for a while. Lord asked Yura some questions about Blood Fingers and Blood Fingers Hunter, while Yura asked him some details about the battle just now to confirm the identity of 'Nelius'.

After the conversation, Yura saw that Lord had no other questions, so he prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he pointed in the direction of Lake Yakir and gave instructions to Lord.

"By the way, you have to be careful. There's a flying dragon lurking in this Yakir Lake. It's beautiful, but also very powerful. Unless you're an immortal who wishes to be burned to death by dragon flames, it's best not to get close to it..."

Lord nodded.

"Well, I just killed it."

Yura: “…?”

After the exchange, Yura left with a subtle look on his face.

Then go a little further in and a cave appears on the cliff next to it, with a blessing at the entrance.

Light up the blessing and walk a little further in. Two cave entrances and several bandits who are weaker than subhumans appeared in front of you.

After solving the problem, he walked to the left and opened a box. The five mushrooms inside made Lord raise his eyebrows. Then he went to the right and walked for a while before finding a golden fog door.

But after reaching his hand into the fog door and entering, Lord did not see any BOSS. Instead, he saw a place that looked like a stronghold with a safe in the middle.

Could it be a huge mud falling from the sky, or a treasure chest monster?

Lord looked up and hit the treasure chest again. After confirming that everything was fine, he walked forward and opened the treasure chest.

Then, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Ohhhh? You want to secretly take other people's things..."

The bald man named Patch jumped down from a high place, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, with a playful tone.

"Shameless thieves will be punished by God..."

After seeing the face clearly, Patch's voice stopped abruptly and his body froze in place.

The next second, he turned and ran.

Why the hell is this monster here——

boom--

A huge red fireball flew over his head and exploded in front of Patch, causing him to stop abruptly.

After a moment, Patch turned his head stiffly and saw that Lord had already cut out the tuba, and his palms moved up and down, tossing the spell fire in his hands.

"Run? Why don't you run?"

"No, buddy." Patch looked at Lord in front of him with an expression as if he had swallowed a whole bitter melon. "Why do I run into you here?"

Lord was stunned.

"you know me?"

"Oh, you're crazy again, aren't you?"

Patch seemed to be used to this kind of thing. After putting away his weapon, he walked over to Lord and sighed.

"Let me be clear, I don't know how much you remember, but the situation is this: I've tried to trick you once but haven't succeeded yet, and you've already hit me three times for this. We've settled our accounts long ago, and if we really want to settle, you still owe me... Never mind."

As he said that, he threw a prop to Lord.

"Although I don't know how you ended up here, I'll just consider it a reunion gift."

[Obtain the item 'Markit's Prisoner']

No, you...

He looked at the prison instruments in his hand, then at the familiar person in front of him, and a sense of incongruity gradually arose in his heart.

It was strange, why did Pachi recognize me, and why did he say that I beat him three times...

Isn't that simulation a simulation? Even if it wasn't, he only fought him twice, once at the Flame Shrine and once at the Ringed City...

Looking at the familiar bald head in front of him, listening to his endless chatter and complaints, Lord felt something expanding in his head, as if...

He had experienced something similar a long, long time ago.

boo——
