Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 1 Summer is here, and it is time to pass on fire

[The fire has gradually died down, but the king is no longer visible, and the ashes without fire will continue to come.]

Winter County, in the north of the Kingdom of Loen.

Another full moon.

A black Gothic church with a pointed roof stood on top of a snow-capped mountain. The blood-red moonlight slanted down to illuminate the cold sarcophagi in the cemetery behind the church.

The sarcophagus was not covered with soil and was exposed to the air.

In the center of the cemetery is a bonfire made of bones.

The blood-red full moon unscrupulously illuminated everything on the earth, including a half-closed sarcophagus in the cemetery.

Suddenly, the lid of the sarcophagus was moved slightly.

"Snapped!"

A gauntleted hand broke out of the coffin.

The hand guard had been broken and deformed after being burned for a long time by the primordial fire, and red sparks were faintly flowing from it.

The undead ashes that spent a long time in darkness finally woke up again in the sarcophagus where they had been sleeping.

He looked around blankly, his eyes filled with fatigue and confusion.

"Is it the season for passing on fire again?"

"but……"

He looked up at the sky. The blood moon emitting scarlet light above his head made him feel inexplicably strange. He murmured in a low voice, "Why is it a red moon? A new story background? Dark Souls 4? Or Yharnam?"

"Forget it, these are not important."

He shook his head, his eyes slowly falling on the bonfire made of bones in front of him.

Anyway, let’s start a bonfire.

"Snapped!"

The ashes left the sarcophagus where he had slept for thousands of years, leaving behind distinct footprints on the snow-covered ground.

Finally, he successfully arrived at the campfire.

There are no gravekeepers, no hungry hounds, and no crystal lizards.

Everything went so smoothly, so smoothly that Yu Jin began to doubt his life, his eyes filled with confusion.

But no matter what, he still took out his spiral sword -

It was a spiral sword with obvious traces of molten sparks on the blade, and it was not cooled down by ice and snow at all.

Subsequently.

He stuck it on the campfire.

"Wow!"

A faint flame rose from the bones, making a small crackling sound.

"Ignite?"

Ember muttered to himself, "So it's really a campfire, and this is a turkey farm? Directly in the cemetery? Then where's my fireproof girl?"

Yu Jin thought about it and was about to look around for the Fire Keeper.

When I looked up, I found a figure appeared in front of me.

The figure was wearing a simple linen robe with traces of patches on it, and a belt that looked like twisted bark was tied around his waist.

Her long black hair was draped over her, and her feet were barefoot and covered with dust and scars.

This is undoubtedly a lady.

"Are you my fire keeper?"

Ember walked forward and asked calmly.

He was waiting for the Fire Keeper to give him guidance and to explain his background.

Only then would he know where to look for firewood.

"No."

The lady seemed to have anticipated his question and whispered, "My name is Arianna, Servant of Secrets."

"So, where is my fire keeper?"

Yu Jin frowned and looked at the NPC in front of him and asked.

The other party was not the Fire Keeper, but she did not question the term "Fire Keeper", indicating that she should know the clue.

She is probably the discouraged brother... discouraged sister of this generation?

"do not know."

Arianna shook her head slightly and said at a moderate pace, "I am only responsible for giving you some guidance, Lord Embers."

"You know the embers, but you don't know where the Fire Keeper is?"

Yu Jin was a little confused. What was this?
A new setting for Dark Souls 4?

"What guidance?"

Ember quickly adjusted his mindset and asked.

"Backlund."

Arianna tapped her chest four times clockwise and whispered devoutly, "The first Cinderella King you are looking for is there."

"understood."

Yu Jin nodded in understanding. Now that he knew where the Fire King was, everything would be easy.

"So, where is Backlund?"

"The capital of the Kingdom of Loen."

"The Kingdom of Loen?"

Ember murmured the name of this strange country in a daze, and hesitated, "Is this Lordran? Where is Anor Londo?" "I've never heard of this place."

Arianna thought about it for a moment and shook her head slightly.

"never heard of that?"

Ember frowned and asked, "Then where is this place?"

"Winter County, in the north of the Kingdom of Loen."

Arianna lowered her eyebrows slightly.

"Then how do I get to Backlund?"

Ember nodded and then asked again.

He had just asked the question when he saw the lady in front of him extend her hand.

"Boom!"

Yu Jin subconsciously stretched out his left hand to push away the lady's outstretched hand, and an ice-blue Iruthyr straight sword instantly appeared in his right hand.

But seeing that the opponent did not seem to be in a state of stiffness, he did not take the next step, but prepared to wait for the opponent to attack before counterattacking -

Until further cutting made her completely stiff.

"I have no ill intentions."

Arianna, whose palm was bounced away, did not take any further action. She just tapped her chest four times clockwise again and whispered, "This is just a way of teleportation."

"Teleport?"

There was a hint of understanding in Yu Jin's blank eyes.

The campfire contains the power of the First Fire, and although the 'bonfire' is a crude imitation of the campfire, it also has a hint of the First Fire.

Therefore, he could use the power of the First Fire to move quickly between bonfires—

The prerequisite is that the bonfire has been lit by the power of the First Fire.

But right now, with only an initial campfire, he obviously couldn't teleport.

If they could teleport to Backlund quickly, it would undoubtedly save a lot of time.

Since this discouraged sister in front of me can talk and shows no signs of zombie transformation, she should be trustworthy... right?

"Feel sorry."

Yu Jin sincerely apologized to Sister Grayheart and stretched out his hand to signal her to continue.

In fact, he doesn't care whether the other party has malicious intentions or not. The worst that can happen is death.

but.

He is the immortal.

Arianna hesitated, then grabbed Ember's arm.

Afterwards, the figures of the two people seemed to be wiped out by something and disappeared into the shadows out of thin air.

at the same time.

In the shadows of the prayer hall of Saint Samuel's Church in Backlund, a male figure wearing a full set of tattered knight armor was quickly outlined.

"Arianna?"

Yu Jin looked at the unfamiliar environment and the disappearing lady and called out hesitantly.

"Your Excellency."

An old voice sounded beside Yu Jin's ear. When Yu Jin came to his senses, he found an old man with a clean beard, deep eyes, and wearing a black and red archbishop's robe, looking at him with a smile.

"The follower? Me?"

Yu Jin looked around and didn't see anyone else, so he pointed at himself in confusion.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The old man's eyes were filled with a hint of respect and humility. "Ms. Arianna has left. My name is Anthony Stevenson, and I am the Archbishop of Saint Samuel's Church. I will be responsible for guiding His Excellency the Favored One in the next mission."

"Why do you call me a follower?"

Yu Jin frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied with the address.

The old man did not reply, but instead turned his gaze towards Yu Jin's left hand.

Yu Jin subconsciously lowered his head, raised his left arm and spread out his palm.

A badge lay quietly in the palm of his hand, crystal clear, deep and bright as if it were made of black gemstone.

When Ember looked at it, it was indeed there.

But when he looked away, it seemed to disappear.

And in the sight of the embers, he could see something more.

【Night Badge

The emblem bestowed by the Goddess of Night on her followers.

The holder gains secret blessings.

Legend has it that when the holder displays the badge, the followers of the Night will regard him as a favored one of the goddess. 】

"..."

Yu Jin was silent for a long time, with a hint of recollection and hesitation in his eyes, "Backlund, Loen Kingdom, Goddess of Night, Arianna, Saint Samuel Church, Passage, Anthony Stevenson..."

"Lord of Mysteries?"

Yu Jin seemed to realize something, but his expression became more and more confused. "Am I not here to spread the fire?"
