Elden Clergyman

Lord asked, and the latter shook his head slightly, and there was a hint of dark red in his eyes under the mask.

"Don't know? Okay, then I'll go ask someone else..."

As he said that, Lord walked down the hillside, intending to go down to ask the golden knight.

Seeing him walking towards the big tree guard, Fan Lei's eyes flashed with sarcasm, as if he was expecting something good to happen.

The extra dark red in his eyes was because he was staring at the receding figure, as if thinking about something.

That crazy fire was already a headache, and now this fire appeared out of nowhere, and it felt even weirder than the crazy fire...

No, it can't be said to be strange, it should be said to be crazy.

As soon as the strange guy approached in their sight, the tree guards whose duty was to hunt the faded ones naturally launched a charge.

In Fan Lei's opinion, this strange, seemingly weak faded one would be killed instantly by the tree guard on the spot, or at least flee in a panic, and might even beg for mercy while fleeing.

Judging from the dark red in his eyes, although his status was not low, this was the territory of the Golden Law after all. Even if he came in the body of this white mask, he would hardly be a match for the tree guard, not to mention the weak incarnation. Temporarily avoiding the attack was the best option.

But nothing.

Under their gaze, facing the oppressive and powerful tree guard charging towards them, the strange being's expression didn't change at all, and even seemed a little...

Miss you?

Then, they saw that strange guy took out a small wooden stick from somewhere, wearing tattered armor (dropped from the Grek soldiers), and walked towards the charging giant knight, and then...

Suddenly it leaped up and began to circle around the tree guard, rolling around on the ground.

Although it can be seen that the other party is dodging, this dodging method...

It’s hard to comment on that dark red.

After rolling for a while, he seemed to be familiar with the attack pattern of the tree guard. He could take out the pitiful little wooden stick and hit the opponent during the afterswing of the opponent's attack.

Fan Lei and the dark red in his eyes were a little confused, not knowing what the other party was doing.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the small wooden stick in that person's hand can't hurt the tree knight. Even if the tree guard takes off his armor, the stick is probably only enough to tickle the opponent.

but......

It didn't take long before, under their gaze, the tree guard who was considered a master even in the royal city was beaten to death by that strange guy with a small wooden stick.

There were clearly no scars on the surface, but after the small wooden stick hit the tree guard for the last time, the tree guard's body first stopped, then fell to the ground, and then the whole body began to dissipate, turning into dust and dissipating in the air.

And the dark red in Fan Lei's eyes showed even more.

It's not just the disappearance of the physical body.

Runes, souls, even existence itself...

Everything was burned, devoured, and became a part of Him.

The evil god, the crazy fire, and now there is this monster...

None of these people playing with fire are good people!

The dark red dissipated.

Originally, He wanted to see if this thing was in a better condition than the ball of madness. If possible, it could help Him devour the ball of madness, or form a confrontation with it. That would be a good thing for all existence.

But now it seems that this thing may be even more twisted and crazy than that crazy fire.

Let the Golden Rule take care of the headaches.

He doesn't want to have anything to do with this kind of thing.

.......

the other side.

After killing the tree guard, Lord stood there, watching the other party's gradually disappearing body, feeling a little sad.

When he was chatting with Fan Lei just now, he was thinking that after realizing the reality, maybe he could solve many conflicts through talking.

But before he could open his mouth, the knight on the opposite side rushed over with a halberd.

Although it is not the same world, and although everything has a new skin, the feeling of people hating dogs is too familiar.

As for the battle with the tree guards...

In fact, there is not much to say.

Although it looks intimidating, in the simulated world, Lord's opponents are also many large-sized enemies, from Elder Gollum in the Fran Cessation, to the Dragon Hunter Armor in front of the Great Library, to the Giant King Youm in the City of Sin. He has long been accustomed to fighting enemies larger than himself, so naturally he will not feel any pressure.

As for not understanding the routine at first sight, that is also easy to solve. Don't rush to attack. Roll around more at the beginning to familiarize yourself with the skills. After you understand the routine, find a chance to strike back.

Control your energy, don't be greedy, repeat the above process, and then you will win.

I just feel that the damage is a bit low, and it may be because the opponent is riding a horse. The marathon is a bit powerful. When he runs, his calves can't keep up.

But these are not the most important things, the most important thing is...

Looking down, he opened the inventory and looked at the empty 'Props' column, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Is there no elemental bottle in this game?

Although he defeated the tree guard, it was their first encounter after all, so Lord was inevitably hit and his health bar was mostly gone.

But he doesn't have any recovery items in his inventory. Isn't this a bit too strong...

"I thought you didn't need it."

As she spoke, Alice pressed a red bottle and a blue bottle into his hands.

Lord: “…”

Let’s not talk about how you suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared. It seems that there was no elemental bottle at the beginning because you took advantage of it, right?

Forget it.

Lord didn't hesitate and put away the two bottles of elemental bottles called "Dettol Holy Grail" and then walked into the half-ruined church.

Although he had an extra weapon and a lot of runes in his backpack after defeating the elite monster, it was obvious that there must be something behind the church.

Then, after entering the church, Lord fell into deep thought as he looked at the figure sitting by the fire, wearing a red pointed hat, a cloak, and with a horse-like creature standing behind him.

Is this, Santa Claus?

Chapter 6: Crazy little police, go!

So he's a businessman...

After a brief exchange, Lord learned the name and identity of the 'Santa Claus' in front of him.

Kale, born into a nomadic family, is traveling and doing business on this land.

Lord originally thought that this person might be a profiteer like the old woman in the Fire Shrine, but when he casually asked for a recommended product, the other party took out a tool belt.

"If you have enough runes, I recommend buying this tool belt. With it, you can collect materials yourself and make some simple props."

this......

Looking at the tool belt and the 300 runes priced on it, Lord's eyes changed slightly.

Although I was new here and not very familiar with the prices in the border area, I got several hundred runes after defeating the zombies and soldiers in the cave. Although the burnt guy who looked like Teacher Guda was given to the wrong system, I still got five thousand. Even the horse-riding elite monster at the church door gave me 3200.

And looking at the product list, there's a familiar-looking "telescope" skin changer. That one costs 500 runes, but this crafting tool only costs 300...

Suppressing the subtle feeling in his heart, Lord browsed through his merchandise.

Since he had a lot of runes on hand and no witch around to help him upgrade, Lord simply used all the runes to shop at his place.

Crafting belts, cracked pots, telescopes, two crafting notebooks, torches, large leather shields, and some throwing knives...

After his shopping spree, the originally empty props column finally had some items.

After the purchase, Lord also chatted with the other party.

However, the more they talked, the stranger the look in his eyes became when he looked at Kale.

"Actually, it's at this price. It might be a little less, but I still make some money..."

"My original intention was to hope that the important guest could survive..."

"I had a great time negotiating this deal. Thank you for trusting me..."

No, buddy, you're not really a good person, are you?

Good quality, affordable, reliable recommendations, no scams, and after learning he had lost his memory, I even gave him a lot of knowledge about the border area for free. At the end, I sincerely thanked him, simply because he was willing to chat with him and believed what he said...

Fan Lei was a bit sarcastic, and judging by his behavior when he left, he might have wanted him to go to the tree guards to die and make a fool of himself.

But this Santa Claus...

"Brother, let me ask you something. You're not going to buy any supplies somewhere soon. After going there twice, you want to go to the Royal City for a stroll, right?"

Kale: “?”

Faced with Kale's doubts, Lord didn't know how to explain.

After all, he couldn't say that good people in the soul world basically don't have a good ending, right?

Especially since this product was of good quality and low price, and the recommendation was reasonable, it was easy for him to think of a thief who went out to purchase goods for him three times and finally died in the royal city.

Anyway, just pay a little attention.

As for why I should care about such a businessman whom I only met once?

Not to mention how rare good people are in the Soul world, for the undead who are hated by everyone and beaten wherever they go, not raising a knife and chopping at them right away after meeting them is considered a very good attitude.

After coming to this world, although he realized that this world was not a simulation but reality, he tried hard to communicate.

But apart from Alice, Kale, and Van Lei whom he had just met, from the zombies to the soldiers, and then to the big tree guard just now, every creature came up to chop him twice, and had no intention of communicating with him at all.

Perhaps in the context of ordinary people's lives, Kale's kindness can be said to be insignificant.

But on Lord's side, even a tiny bit of goodwill is a rare and precious thing.

He will be kind to whoever is kind to him.

Lord doesn't consider himself a good person, but he still has some beliefs of his own.

After buying things, chatting, and gaining some common sense about the border area, Lord stood up again and headed in the direction indicated by the blessing.

On the way, he encountered some zombies and soldiers similar to those in the study cave. Although there was no witch who could help him upgrade, the old undead man's collecting habit made him not let go of any of them, and he also collected some materials around him.

A little further ahead, there is a ruin with the soldiers that we dealt with before wandering around.

During his conversation with Kale, he learned that the names of these soldiers were 'Grek's Soldiers'. From the name, it was clear that they belonged to the lord named 'Grek'.

As for Greg, after Brother Kale's explanation, he also learned a lot of information about the other party.

The Golden King, the Fragment King, the Limb Reaper, not only possesses "golden blood" and is a demigod, but also possesses one of the shattered pieces of the Elden Ring...

After listening to Brother Kale's description, Lord fell into deep thought.

If he remembered correctly, Van Lei seemed to have said before that the Faded Ones appeared here to compete for the Elden Ring, and Brother Kale also confirmed this statement, and even said that this was common sense in the border area.

If that's the case, he might end up fighting that Greg. At the very least, they're natural enemies, but who knows how strong he is...

He glanced at Alice, who appeared and disappeared beside him, with no sense of existence.

Lord thought, this guy who has so many titles and sounds awesome just by hearing them, can't be weaker than this little girl who appears out of nowhere, leaves others with no reaction, and disappears and runs away when encountering a battle, right?

But considering Alice's strength, if the opponent is stronger than her, then using the main account will definitely be no problem, but for his current small account, the strength is suspected to be a bit too high...

Combined with the fact that although he was killed instantly by his big account, the strange burnt guy was obviously not a good person just by looking at his actions, and the big tree guard who he hit with a small wooden stick for a long time before finally scraping to death, Lord felt that the difficulty of this game was indeed a bit unreasonably high.

Did I take the wrong path, like when I fought the third boss against the Fierce Dragon Armor? But that didn't make sense, these soldiers seemed pretty normal...

While thinking, Lord killed all the soldiers in the stronghold in front of him and found a thing called "Whetstone Knife" in the treasure chest below.

After reading the description of the item, Lord raised his eyebrows.

He could tell what qualitative change was at a glance, but what was war ash?

Forget it, let’s start firing first.

He caught a glimpse of a golden light not far away from the corner of his eye. Lord put away his knife, walked to the golden light, sat down, and then stretched out his hand.

But this time, after touching the blessing, Lord did not get up and leave immediately.

Because after he touched the blessing, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

Wait, two?

Lord raised his head and looked at the two of them, and the two of them were stunned when they noticed each other.
