Elden Clergyman

"That's fine... but please treat it well. It's really a good wolf..."

"Oh, no, I don't want it."

As soon as Lord saw her like this, he knew she had misunderstood: "What I mean is, do you want to come with me? I have a place over there that can take you in, and I just happen to be short of someone to play Landlord."

Letina: “…?”

What is Landlord?

But she also understood what the other party meant.

"Um, I am the son of Platinum..."

"It's okay. I asked Bai Zhi. None of the Platinum Sons are fine. As long as you don't mind Bai Zhi being next door to you."

Letina: “…?”

Letina didn't know what to say for a moment.

If Rob were still here, she would definitely be ready to die with him, but now, looking at Rob who was being stroked until his mouth was drooling in Lord's hands, some of the barriers in her heart began to collapse little by little.

Then, the last straw fell.

"Well, I just checked. Because it's been dead for a while, the wolf's soul is somewhat damaged. When it's replenished, I'll find some meat and put it in the stove. I should be able to revive you. But I can only guarantee that the soul is the same, not the appearance."

silence.

Letina looked at Robert at Lord's feet, her lips moved for a moment, and finally she lowered her head.

"Then may I ask what I have to pay?"

She didn't believe that the other party was helping him without any ulterior motive.

But faced with such conditions, she would accept any price except the position of the seal.

But her words silenced Lord.

What are they paying for? Aren’t the undead always eager to show their support to the NPCs, fearing that they might accidentally miss a side quest?

Even if they can't catch up, they have to check all kinds of guides, or even go back to the previous game, just to save or help a certain NPC. They are worse than bootlickers.

but now......

After glancing at the delicate girl in front of him and then at the big dog at his feet, Lord thought for a moment and spoke tentatively.

"How about you lend me your dog for a few days? To be honest, I've wanted to have a dog for a long time..."

And it seemed like I had actually raised one, and I had some vague impressions in my memory, especially when I was petting Rob, the familiar feeling reached its peak.

It was as if he had once picked up a puppy covered with a shield somewhere, and then raised it little by little, and then it even picked up a sword and fought side by side with him.

Hey.

The modified Great Rune flashed, and the familiar feeling dissipated.

The remaining fire in Lord's body went out before it could even ignite, and all that was left in his heart was the longing for the dog.

Even though he didn't know where the nostalgia came from.

But Letina obviously didn't know all this.

She only saw that her dog had completely become Lord's plaything after being summoned by him.

And now, he's saying 'Lend me your dog'...

"can."

She spoke with difficulty, lowering her head and said, "As long as you are willing to treat Rob well, not only it, I can also serve you."

"Well, you can tell me more about the Platinum Son then. I lost my memory before, so I don't know much about this."

As he spoke, Lord walked over, stretched out his hand, picked her up from the ground, carried her back to the round table, and then returned to his original position.

And a certain blue-skinned weirdo came up again, his eyes sparkling.

"Hey, Fader, let me ask you something."

"What is your relationship with Lani?"

--------

Chapter 38: I have no objection

What is the relationship between me and Lani?

Faced with the blue-skinned monster's question, Lord thought for a while.

"We've met once."

The blue-skinned weirdo blinked: "Only met once?"

"Yeah, I've only met her once." Lord looked at her: "Any questions?"

"Ah, nothing's wrong, it's just, um...anyway, nothing's wrong."

Why does this guy talk like a bulldozer?

After talking with Lena and confirming that she was fine, Lord used teleportation to return to the cave entrance and continued exploring the map.

But this time, before he had gone far, he vaguely saw a hint of blue floating beside him, with a faint chill emanating from the surroundings.

Why is this person following me again?

"On the way." That's how Lena explained.

Faced with Lena's explanation, not to mention others, even Lord could hear how far-fetched it was.

But he didn't care. After all, it wasn't the first time he was followed. Last time, it was a super-large old Ma, and there was no problem at all. Now he had changed to one that was several sizes smaller and made no noise during the entire flight, so it didn't matter at all.

Then, after exploring the map for a while, Lord also saw some new types of monsters in the lake area.

The second-generation Platinum Son looks like a fat alien version, with silver skin, a big head and black eyes. He holds a curved wooden stick or a broken corrugated halberd in his hand and patrols around the lake area, seemingly guarding against something.

Then he rushed forward and was killed by Lord.

The mummified ghosts formed by the curse, hunched over, lying on the ground, or riding on horses, will suddenly appear when approaching, releasing a black and yellow, flame-like tracking spell from their hands.

Then he was chased and hacked to death by Lord on horseback.

There was also the Crab Fire King, whose skin had not even changed. The size, the skin, the sideways walking posture, the way the crab claws smashed down, and the water spraying made Lord think for a moment that he had returned to the Farran Fortress. There might even be a purple talisman on the ground that could summon an old man with a wasp ring +22.

Then he was carried away by Lord's muscle memory.

After dealing with these three monsters, Lord couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Gao was really dead. He didn't even change the skin of the previous monsters and just pulled them out. It was really...

Pfft, pfft, pfft.

Three huge lobsters, each as tall as a man and with shells gleaming with bronze, rose from the water and stared at Lord.

Then--

"Fuck, sniper!"

The continuous shrimp claw attacks, the high-pressure water gun that could accurately hit targets from a distance of 800 miles and faster than a large bow, and the three of them that suddenly emerged from the water and attacked together, with the front holding the line and the back firing blasts, the scene was like a riot of demons.

"It's alive, it's alive, the whole family is alive!"

Of course, they were all killed in the end.

He didn't even cut it into a large size, nor did he ask Melina to help. He just used a small size and the hound's fangs to cut it, and he still got three big pieces of lobster meat.

After dealing with the lobster, Lord explored a little further and met an acquaintance.

"Hey, Brother Kale, you're here."

On a small raised slope, Lord saw the familiar figure that looked like Santa Claus again.

The other party obviously recognized him and waved at him with a smile.

"You're here, regular customer, what do you want to buy?"

After a brief exchange, Lord learned the reason why the other party appeared here.

"Have you ever heard of 'The Grand Caravan'? No? What a shame."

"We used to have something like our hometown, the 'Great Caravan', but it disappeared without a trace and no one has seen it for a long time."

"I've been searching for the whereabouts of this great caravan. Since it's so famous, I might be able to find countless rare treasures."

When Kale said this, his eyes sparkled in the firelight. Even a person with the dullest senses could easily sense the anticipation and yearning in his eyes.

It sounds like a beautiful dream, and it is foreseeable that if Kale can really find that "big caravan", he will probably be able to sell him some new goodies.

However, the smile on Lord's face was a little forced.

Brother, why does it feel like the death star on your head is getting brighter and brighter?

Originally, he saw that Kale had not moved and was staying near the half-ruined church, so he thought that he was a fixed merchant NPC who would not be dangerous.

But now it seems that this kind of side quest that likes to find things, starting from Solar and ending with Anri and Horace, basically no one survived...

"Brother, if there's anything you need help with, just tell me."

Lord didn't want to take this line either, but this is reality, not a game. People will move even if you don't push them.

Not to mention the game, some side quests will also be stuck in progress. If certain conditions are not met, people will still die even if you don't complete this side quest.

So no matter what the reason, Lord had to help Kale.

Kale thought for a moment. "Have you ever seen a crow around here? The kind with letters tied to their claws in the graveyard?"

"If you see it, I hope you can sell me the letter it comes with. Of course, I'll give you a discount on future purchases."

"Okay." Lord nodded: "I'll send it to you when I see it."

After separating from Kale, Lord took out the spirit horse whistle, but this time he did not blow it directly. Instead, he looked at Melina beside him first.

"Well, Melina, do you know anything about the 'Great Caravan'?"

Then, dead silence.

It wasn't the 'unwillingness to answer' of previous rejections, nor was it 'hate' or 'don't want to answer', but something that appeared for the first time, as if it was a 'resistance' to the question itself, or even 'uneasiness'.

"If you don't want to say it, it's okay not to say it."

Lord had long been accustomed to her silence, and then prepared to blow the whistle and continue exploring the map.

But before he could put the whistle to his lips, he felt something pulling at the corner of his clothes.

"Give me... some time." Melina spoke with her head down, her voice sounding a little different from before.

It was the first time Lord saw her like this. He didn't ask any questions, but just reached out and gently touched her head. Then he turned around and blew the spirit horse whistle.

After that, it was time to explore the map without any setbacks.

Run around, kill monsters, brush Rune...

Collect, pick up, and make props...

A period of time passed uneventfully, and after killing countless things, one clear night, Lord rode Torret up a hill, looked around, and slowly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Melina looked around and didn't see anything to kill. "Are there any enemies nearby?"

Lord turned around in confusion and looked at Melina: "This place is obviously a good place to rest, right? Why are you so obsessed with killing? This is not good."

Melina: “…?”

"You still want to rest?"

A blue-skinned weirdo who had been following him suddenly jumped out and looked at him in surprise.

After following her for so long, she had experienced all the shocks that Market had experienced.

However, unlike Market, after the shock, Reina did not feel tired, but amused.

So she just kept following this person, wanting to see how many more surprises this guy, who was so warm for some reason, could show her.

And now, for the first time, she knew that this weirdo also needed to rest.

"I need a break. This is so new."

After giving the blue-skinned monster a cold look, Lord put away the spirit horse whistle, but did not kill Torret. Instead, he took out the fruit and soul ball, wrapped them into a ball and threw it to the tortoise for it to enjoy, then lit a bonfire on the ground.

After inserting the spiral sword into it, Lord asked Alice to help him rub out a temporary blessing point, then returned to the round table and brought Irena and others out of the room in batches.
