Elden Clergyman

Page 46

"The support I can provide you at the moment is a Night Cavalryman, an Avatar, and at most some consumable items..."

"Row."

Although the support was a little less, Lord was not picky. Although he didn't know what Lao Ma's identity was, looking at the tattered clothes on him, he knew that he must not be rich. It was already very good that he could squeeze out some soldiers and props.

After chatting for a while about the white dragon Hiss, Markit rubbed his brows and remembered something.

"By the way, have you talked to Lani?"

"We talked a lot, what's wrong?"

"......fine."

For some reason, Lord suddenly saw Markit let out a long sigh, and his expression suddenly relaxed. Even the corners of his mouth, which had been tense, curled up slightly, as if he was thinking of something very happy.

"It's okay after we talked, it's okay after we talked..."

After that, since everything that needed to be said had been said and Market still had work to do, Lord did not stay long and went to the Round Table Hall.

"Although I'm also interested in that kind of 'crystallization magic', unfortunately I'm really busy."

After finding Baizhi, the other party shook his head.

"And considering the situation over there and the nature of this force, if we send some ordinary faded ones over there, I'm afraid they won't be of any use, and might even become an aid to the enemy."

"But it just so happens that I mentioned before that I wanted Neferi to follow you, so she's been heading towards Lake Lienia for a long time. She should be not far from you now. You can go find her directly."

"If you feel that the child alone isn't enough, I can provide you with some additional help."

[Obtain the item 'Anti-Magic Liver'*10]

[Obtain the item 'Hundred Wisdom's Thoughts'*5]

[A Hundred Wisdom's Thoughts, a one-time-use item, a bead that stores the power of the 'World of a Hundred Wisdom']

[After crushing, you can briefly open the 'World of a Hundred Wisdoms', including yourself and the characters within the area, reducing the magic and holy attribute damage reduction rate]

Sir Baizhi reached out his hand towards the infinite knowledge, but after grasping it tightly, he discovered that behind the infinite knowledge was...

[More mysteries and puzzles]

After chatting with Baizhi, Lord originally wanted to go back directly, but after a moment of thought, he changed his mind and turned into a house.

"What's the matter, fellow countryman?"

Chaos raised his head.

Lord didn't waste any time and directly showed her the soul crystal. Then he gave her a general introduction to the situation and asked her if she wanted to get involved.

Without any hesitation, Chaos nodded and said, "Of course."

His hollow eye sockets stared at the crystal in Lord's hand. Even with the madness and the desire for chaos, Chaos felt an almost instinctive aversion to the object in Lord's hand.

Because that is contrary to the essence of fire, a still and empty clot, the opposite of burning.

If this thing is allowed to develop and spread, the entire border area might be "frozen" and it will be a "frozen" that even a mad fire can't burn.

After notifying everyone, Lord went to the repairman to upgrade his equipment, and then went to Rodlika, who had become a spirit trainer, to upgrade her ashes.

It is worth mentioning that because Lord had visited many underground cemeteries when exploring the map before, he had a lot of lilies of the valley in his hands, so he basically upgraded all the ashes on hand.

Then, he discovered something strange.

[Incomplete Witch's Ashes +4+3]

The first +4 was fed by himself, and the second +3 was upgraded by Roderica using the lily of the valley in Lingyi Cemetery.

I don’t know if it’s because the two systems are incompatible, the enhancements on both sides are calculated independently, and I don’t know if there’s a bug. If you use this kind of ashes to assist in the battle, it won’t be counted as using the power of the main account, and Rune’s income will be classified as the small account, which is also an unexpected surprise.

Then, after walking around the Round Table Hall again, chatting with everyone he could, making sure he hadn't missed any side quests, and that everything that needed to be dealt with had been handled, Lord touched the "Great Blessing" and returned to Lake Lienya. While waiting for all parties to prepare, he continued his "exploration of the map".

Then, amid the hacking of hounds' tusks and the roar of night and fire, time slipped away.

Then, it was the agreed meeting time.

Lani was the first to arrive. After all, she was the main force in opening the seal. At the same time, arriving earlier gave her more time to observe others, analyze and plan.

The next person to appear was Seren, who was teleported here by Lord at Alice's request. The moment she appeared, she caught Lani's attention.

"'Cube Witch' Selian?"

Looking at Seren, whose body was covered with inhuman parts, Lani raised her eyebrows.

"How did you become like this?"

"Some minor accidents, but they can help me research pyroxene magic."

Seren replied calmly, then looked at Lani in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"But the way you look... I almost didn't recognize you."

Lani shook her head: "I've been through some things."

Contrary to everyone else's expectations, although Lani and Seren always said that the academic school and the Kalia school were hostile to each other, when they actually met, there was no sense of tension or confrontation between the two of them. Their conversation could even be considered "harmonious."

As for the reason...

What can be done about the discord? Should we expose each other's shortcomings?

If it were someone else, they might be able to say a few words, but the dark history of these two is enough to fill a book. If they really get into a quarrel, the boomerang will definitely hit them on the head.

Moreover, the relationship between the Kalia royal family and the academic school is rather delicate.

Although they have hostile stances, for some reasons, even if the academic faction really takes control of the academy one day and Seren becomes the leader of the academic faction, she will most likely abolish the Kalia royal family, but unless the "Full Moon Queen" actively declares war, she will not harm the other party.

Even now, with the Full Moon Queen insane and the Origin Faction in control of the academy, everyone just kept her under house arrest in the Great Library.

And although she was under house arrest, there was no harm, no seal, and not even a lock on the door. In theory, she could go out for a walk on her own if she wanted to. There was also a Kalia Knight waiting at the door. Even the equipment of the deceased Kalia Knights was neatly placed in the tomb and no one touched it...

It's just very subtle.

Therefore, under the mutual deterrence of dark history and the balance of delicate relationships, although they have hostile positions, Seren and Lani are at least very harmonious on the surface.

But the existence that came later was not so 'harmonious'.

"'Moon Princess' Lani."

Accompanied by a burst of golden light, Market's figure slowly emerged, and the moment she appeared, she locked her eyes on Lani with an unfriendly expression.

"Markit, the 'evil demon'."

Lani also looked at Market, her brows gradually furrowed.

Although they both knew each other's identities through Lord before coming and had made psychological expectations, the situation inevitably became weird after they actually met.

As for the strange reason...

Market's eldest brother, called 'Godwin', died on the Night of the Black Knife - or was he half dead?

He himself is a loyal supporter of the Golden Tree and hates all traitors equally, especially the Moon Princess who can be said to be the source of all evil.

As for Lani...

As the mastermind behind Black Knife Night, Lani originally had a complete plan.

The key step in the plan is to break through the royal city and seize the Elden Ring.

Everything was going well, and she was even on the verge of success, but two demigods suddenly appeared from the sewers of the royal city, disrupting her plans and being the main reason for her downfall.

One of them is 'Markit' in front of him.

So, even though I had prepared myself mentally, the smell of gunpowder in the air gradually became stronger after the actual meeting.

Until a voice sounded.

"Hey, Nepheli, I told you this shrimp is delicious, right?"

"It's delicious indeed. Where did you get it?"

"A buddy cooked it. He's especially good at cooking seafood. Besides shrimp, crabs are also a specialty. I'll make some for you later..."

As he spoke, Lord brought Nefeli to the entrance of the academy. He glanced at the people gathered at the entrance and blinked.

"Am I late? Sorry, sorry, maybe I was delayed a little by eating shrimp on the way. You guys should also have some..."

As he spoke, Lord distributed a few boiled shrimps to everyone present, and in the process of distributing the shrimps, he replaced the smell of gunpowder in the air with some kind of strange aura.

Looking down at the shrimp in his hand, then looking up at Lani in front of him, Market suddenly remembered something and spoke.

"How was it, chatting with him?"

Lani was stunned, raised her head and looked at him puzzledly, not knowing what he meant.

Market shook her head and spoke while peeling the shrimp in her hand.

"I knew him earlier than you did. When I heard that he wanted to see you, I suggested to him that he chat with you more."

The moment the words fell, Market saw Lani's face darken in front of her, and then she put the peeled shrimp into her mouth.

Well, it's really good.

But soon, Lani realized something and asked back.

"You have so much experience, and you haven't talked to him much, right?"

Then Market also fell silent.

On the other side, Se Lian looked at the two strange people in front of him and poked Lord secretly.

"Stupid apprentice, what's going on with these two people?"

"I don't know, maybe he doesn't like shrimp."

After a moment, in order to avoid further tension or continued harm to each other, Market and Lani tacitly chose to temporarily put aside the dispute and turned to look at Lord.

"Is everyone here? Can we start now?"

Lord, who was serving his third round of shrimp, stopped, looked around, and nodded.

"Well, it's almost time. I'll call her then."

Call her? Who?

Although they had heard Lord say that he would call a reliable friend to help them when they talked to him before, he didn't elaborate on who that friend was...

"Chaos."

"I am here, compatriots."

As crazy flames burst out, a witch in a withered yellow cloak emerged.

The moment she appeared, Markit drew out her cursed sword, Lani raised her staff, Nepheli raised her axe, and Seren also drew out her pyroxene dagger.

However, Lord, who had his back to them, did not notice this. He stuffed two shrimps into the hands of Chaos who had rushed over, then turned around and introduced them to everyone.

"This is the friend I mentioned before. My name is Chaos, and my occupation is..."

"Incarnation of Mad Fire?"

Facing the alert crowd, Chaos did not react much. After Lord finished his introduction, he bowed slightly.

"As my compatriots say, I am the incarnation of insanity."

"But there's no need to be nervous. At least this time, I stand with you all."

silence.

Everyone present looked at Chaos warily. Chaos also stood there calmly. The atmosphere was momentarily frozen.

Until a voice sounded.

"What?"

After flipping through the inventory, Lord raised his head and looked at everyone.

"I just found out I still have some crabs here, salt-baked, they're delicious."

"Do any of you want some?"
