Elden Clergyman

After seeing the scene clearly, Reina's expression changed slightly, and Lord beside her also showed a thoughtful expression.

Why does this place look familiar...

He walked to the side, broke off a piece of crystal, and sensed the familiar structure and power inside. A familiar name flashed through Lord's mind.

White Dragon Hiss.

One of them chose to betray his own kind because he was born without scales. In pursuit of immortality, he conducted research on various twisted souls and eventually created the "Soul Crystal Magic".

Buzz-buzz-

Something in the inventory vibrated.

It's the Moonlight Greatsword.

But it was not the Moonlight Greatsword from Dark Souls 3, but the Moonlight Greatsword from Dark Souls 1 that appeared for some unknown reason and was forged from the severed tail of the white dragon Hiss.

After it was taken out, the vibration became more obvious, and an eye opened in the pyroxene crystal cluster on one side.

boom--

In an instant, the moonlight rose into the academy, as if something was breaking free from its restraints.

But the next second, a full moon rose, and together with the countless stars around it, it forcibly suppressed the moonlight.

"Lord..."

An unwilling and resentful roar rang out from the academy. It was so loud that the ground beneath Lord's feet trembled slightly, and the crystal in his hand shattered in an instant.

After a moment, Lord looked in the direction of the roar and took a deep breath.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?"

"A scaleless newborn."

"you--"

The voices in the academy seemed to want to retort, but were forcibly suppressed by Man Yue and the stars.

Then, a mature, gentle female voice sounded.

"No matter who you are, please do not approach the academy again. A major incident has occurred within the academy and it is extremely dangerous."

"Please help convey to Kalia and the Origin Faction mages outside, stop fighting, we are now facing a greater threat, please help convey to the Golden Dynasty, we need help--"

The voice cut off.

Lava-like lines appeared on Lord's body, and he turned to look at Rena, who was a little dazed.

"Can you open this seal?"

"I'm afraid not. I just analyzed it. This seal is the work of both the Academy and Lenara. I'm afraid I can't break it now..."

"Will the pyroxene key be useful?"

“It might have worked before, but it definitely won’t work now.”

Lord thought for a moment, turned to look at the seal in front of him, and raised the Moonlight Greatsword in his hand.

Then just smash it open...

"No."

Alice popped up and said seriously.

"I know you have the ability to break this seal, but that thing isn't at the border right now. It's trying to 'infiltrate' reality. The reason it hasn't succeeded yet is because the people inside are 'containing' it."

"When you break this 'seal,' that thing will also take the opportunity to escape into reality. Although you will probably kill it in the end, the souls of the people inside, and even the entire Lienia Lake Region, may be annihilated."

"What should we do then?" Lord looked at Alice.

But before Alice could open her mouth, Reina beside her answered for her.

"Go find Lani. She definitely has a way to get into the academy."

After a pause, she looked in a certain direction.

"Besides, I roughly know where she is now."

Chapter 41: This is the confidence that Dark Soul brings me.jpg

Go find Lani.

This is the only way Reina can think of to enter the academy at the moment.

Although she had been to the academy before, she knew that the academy had some other entrances besides the main gate. For example, there was a crystal tunnel under the academy, which could lead directly to the interior of the academy from underground via an elevator.

But the problem is, according to Reina's observation, the most troublesome thing in the entire Rhea Lukalia Academy is not the layers of seals at the door, but the academy itself.

Or put it more clearly.

"The environment inside the academy is dislocated from the surrounding space and time. Aside from entering through the sealed main gate, any other means of reaching the academy are not the academy we want to go to."

After Reina finished speaking, Alice also agreed with her point of view, and further explained that if Lord took a wrong turn, he might fall into the other side of time and space, and it would be difficult to come back then.

However, despite the explanation, the two did not expect Lord to understand the concept. They just wanted him to know that he had to enter through the sealed main gate.

After all, his brain is, well...

However......

"Isn't it just a disorder of time and space? What's so difficult to understand?"

Lord spoke as if it was a matter of course.

"You must strictly follow the route. Any gap may lead you to a different time and space. You can use various items to determine your position on the timeline, and be careful of items that may be sealed in time..."

Looking at Lord who was speaking clearly and logically, and seemed more professional than her, Lena was stunned.

And she was sure that this guy was not talking nonsense, but was talking about practical techniques that only someone with rich experience in the relevant field could tell her.

So where did Lorde get this skill?

That's too hard to guess.

Although the timeline of the entire Dark Souls world cannot be said to be very smooth, it is at least worse than a ball of wool.

After all, it's a ball of yarn, so at least you can pick it out one by one.

But the timeline of the Dark Souls world is such that only by chopping up each strand of wool in the ball of wool and mashing it into a paste, and then mixing them together, can it be barely comparable.

The person you kill today will draw a talisman at the boss's door to help you tomorrow.

You are walking on the street and suddenly a hand grabs you and pulls you into a hole. When you look back, you find that you have been transported back hundreds of years.

You are bored and see a beautiful woman holding an egg, so you reach out and touch it. When you come to your senses, the world has been destroyed for tens of thousands of years.

There's also the First Fire burning across all timelines, the miracles created by utilizing and penetrating time, and the Ringed City, a mess of time woven together...

Perhaps in other aspects, Lord would not dare to say that he was much better than the people in the border area.

But only when dealing with this messy and shitty timeline, he dared to gesture and say, "No one understands the confusion of time and space better than me."

This is the confidence that the Dark Souls world of Gou Cao has given him.jpg

"What kind of environment did you live in before..."

Not to mention Lena, even Melina looked at him with a strange look in her eyes after listening to Lord's narration about the confusion of time and space.

Lord's answer was also very straightforward.

"I do not know."

Because he didn't know how to describe the environment, after thinking about it, he could only say, "It's definitely not a place for normal people to stay."

However, although the time and space distortion within the academy limits the way in, it is not without benefits.

Simply put, because of the disorder of time and space within the academy and the emergence of a barrier with the outside world, the time in this place has formed a state of almost "stillness".

As long as someone doesn't go back and forth here with a dragon's broken tail and scales to provoke it, and leaves the range of time and space distortion, then after wandering around outside for three to five years and coming back, this place will be the same as it is now.

Even after leaving for a distance, looking back at the academy, you will find that the crystals that almost covered the entire academy have disappeared without a trace at some point, as if nothing had happened and everything before was just an illusion.

This is also the reason why no one outside has noticed the abnormality of the academy.

To those who were not close to the academy, the state of the academy was completely normal.

Once you get too close and enter the area of time and space confusion, it will be difficult for you to leave. In addition, a certain scaleless white dragon does not want his plan to be exposed.

The result is that up to now, even if the very few people who were close by noticed something unusual, they were unable to pass the news on.

Either you get lost in time and can't leave, or you go out and become a corpse.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, this situation would arouse the college's vigilance.

But unfortunately, the entire Lake Lienya is now a war zone, and it is too normal for several people to go missing or die.

"So, where should we go to find Lani?" Lord blew the spirit horse whistle.

Reina was about to answer, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of the Moonlight Greatsword in his hand, and her expression gradually became subtle.

"While I do know where Lani might be... shouldn't you know better than me?"

Lord: “…?”

Lena is not Lord. As a mage, she can even be said to be the opposite of Lord, with a strong ability to gather information.

Although she had just come out of the mine a short time ago, based on her inquiries over the past few days and her communication with others during the previous rest period.

Although I can't say how much I know about the current situation in the border area, I at least have a rough idea of the situation in Lienia and can roughly guess Lani's situation.

The Night of the Black Blade, the disappearance of the Moon Princess, and that 'Broken War'...

Although I'm not too sure, it certainly seems like something that kid would do.

But the crux of the problem is not here yet.

The key point now is that although there are many missing memories in my head, if Reina remembers correctly, the moonlight sword in the hand of Lord seems to be the token of love of the Kalia family...

And if nothing unexpected happens, the current owner of this thing should be Lani.

He claimed he had only met Lani once and hadn't behaved strangely before, but suddenly he pulled out all of Lani's tokens of love...

Just, um...

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

If Lord was a smooth-talking guy, she would still suspect that he was lying to her.

But after spending a few days together, not to mention suspecting that he was lying, Lena even doubted whether this man had the ability to lie.

It can't be love at first sight, right?

But that's not right. Although Kalia is traditionally weak against red-haired people, this person doesn't have red hair. Secondly, Lani herself has red hair and a bit of a rebellious personality. Logically, this shouldn't happen...

Maybe I misunderstood?

Reina thought about it and decided to give it another try just to be on the safe side.

"You really don't have Lani's contact information? Not at all?"

Lord thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered Blaze.

"If I have to say, she can be connected to Blaze. She seems to be a shadow of Lani..."

Lena nodded.

Very good, even the shadow beast knew about it and could even get in touch with it. If this was all a misunderstanding, she could chew two kilograms of pyroxene crystals on the spot.

As for why Lani didn't leave her contact information, she knew the child's awkward personality very well.

It would be really strange if he really gave Lord his contact information so openly.

"Forget it, I'll take you to find her."

Although she didn't know what Lani was playing with this idiot, she knew from the way she kept it a secret that it was definitely not appropriate for her to interfere.

As for where to find Lani, it might be difficult for others, but for Reina, it only requires a little reasoning.

As the Princess of the Moon, if she wants to keep her actions secret in today's world, she needs some cooperation from others.
