I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 133 Melina, what are you going to pay me back for what you owe me? (Electronic Music)
The revelry lasted all night, and most of the young wizards slept until noon or afternoon the next day.

But Halloween is on Saturday after all, and it’s not a big deal to sleep a little longer on Sunday since I don’t have classes anyway.

Louis, who had some free time on Sunday, also planned to find something to do.

Anyway, the Room of Requirement no longer satisfied him, and it was time to find something new.

However, he did not plan to go to the Undead Settlement for the time being, and planned to go to the border area first.

After all, in the previous life, the old man Huan traveled through time before he could pass the level.

Click on the "Enter the Junction" button on the system panel. With a flash of light, Louis disappeared into the dormitory.

Tom sat up under the strong light, opened his hazy eyes, stretched out his hands to rub in front of his eyes, looked around and found nothing, so he gave a relieved silly smile, turned over and lay down straight to continue his sweet dream.

When he fell on the pillow, he even bounced Jerry, who was sleeping soundly, up high. As a result, Jerry, who was suddenly in trouble, didn't even understand what was happening and fell into Tom's mouth without paying attention.

Jerry pulled himself out of Tom's mouth with great effort, looked at Tom who was still sleeping, with his hands on his hips and staring at him with one eye, but finally let him go.

Forget it, forget it, I won’t be angry with a fool, Jerry thought to himself, picked up the quilt, climbed onto the table, and went back to his exquisite little bed to sleep.

……

After the bright light ended, Louis opened his eyes and found himself in a dim cave.

"Miscalculated..." He muttered, pulling his feet out of the water on the ground, and drying them again with a turn of the magic light.

Looking around, there were only messy stone tablets and stones. Walking two steps forward, I saw a glowing "person" sitting on a bench. The person was transparent, as if he had no substance, and as if the color had completely faded.

After knocking twice without getting a response, he continued walking forward. In front of him, next to a glowing golden sapling, there were steps leading upwards, and at the end of the steps was a wooden door.

Louis walked over and used Alaho to open the wooden door, then continued to explore forward.

After going up from the small room, I came to a spacious hall. The right side of the hall was separated by two stone pillars like an arch, and there was a thick gray fog above, so no light could penetrate.

In the middle, there was something emitting a faint golden light, and it looked a bit like an inverted spoon. After Louis walked over, bits of golden light flew out from the golden light and entered his body.

It was a magical feeling, he felt as if he had established a strange connection with this thing, as if he could return here with just a thought.

Oh yes, he remembered, this is the so-called "blessing".

He studied it carefully for a while, but found nothing.

He could only keep moving forward. At the end of the hall was a room with an elevator-like mechanism in the middle. Louis walked to the middle and stepped on the protruding stone in the middle of the disc. With a rumbling sound, he was sent to the upper floor by the elevator.

Looking at the big iron gate in front of him, Louis fell into deep thought.

According to his memory, this iron door should have been lifted up, but he obviously didn't have enough strength now. He was as thin as a chicken, and he could only lift the door a crack even with all his strength.

Louis took a half step back and drew out his wand: "Alohomora!"

The door wobbled up, and Louis saw the opportunity to jump out through the gap.

The moment he came out, he could hardly open his eyes due to the strong light because he had been in the dim cave for too long. After a while, Louis finally got used to the strong light and began to look around.

After staying in the cave for a long time, I felt a sense of sudden enlightenment when I came out. This is a scenery completely different from Lothric - you say it is dilapidated, but its vegetation is still quite lush, and in the distance there are small animals running back and forth, and from time to time a deer head can jump out; you say it is prosperous, but all you see are either ruins or steep cliffs, and in the distance you can clearly see a giant stone bridge that is much longer than the Golden Gate Bridge, and it is obviously broken into three sections.

Looking down again, I saw a golden-armored knight patrolling back and forth not far away. Whether it was the heavy shield or the huge golden halberd, they all demonstrated the strength of this knight.

Obviously someone who is not easy to mess with.

Walking down the steps, there were red fruits growing in the bushes in front of him. Out of curiosity, Louis picked one and put it in his mouth.

It's very sweet and delicious, and tastes a bit like blueberries, but it tastes like strawberries.

It's very sour and sweet, which is my feeling.

Going forward, there is another blessing. Behind the blessing stands a person posing with a strange white mask on his face. There is a lantern with a burning candle at the left foot of the masked person. The candle inside is flickering and burning. It seems redundant no matter how you look at it.

Why are you still turning off the lights in the middle of the day? Are you sick or am I?

After Louis established contact with Blessing, he was stopped by the White Mask.

"Oh...you, you are the Faded One, right? That...what you just ate is called Rosa Fruit, um...it's usually used to feed horses." The White Mask said in a voice that understood the King very well: "I know you crave the Elden Ring, so you came to this borderland. I know everything, because that's definitely the case."

Louis was puzzled. What horses eat cannot be eaten by humans? Then oysters, kelp and crabs were used to feed pigs...

Then the white mask showed a gloating laugh: "But, it's a pity that you don't have the company of a witch. It's really sad and lamentable. You don't know where to lead, you can't get the power of runes, and it's impossible to be invited to the round table hall... You can only die in obscurity, right?"

Are you polite, kid? Are you mocking me? Louis' fist hardened.

"However, even without the witch, you still have a glimmer of hope, because you met me, Van Lei." The man in the white mask began to persuade: "You know the blessing, it is the golden light that allows you Faded Ones to rest for a while. That cluster of light will point you in a direction, which is the so-called 'guidance of blessing', leading you in the right direction. That's right... The direction guided by the blessing is the city of Stonewell on the cliff. Go and defeat the demigod 'Limb Reattachment' Greg in it. You who are not accompanied by a witch and are eager for the Elden Ring, you should do so..."

Louis always felt that he had heard this set of words somewhere before. When he thought about it carefully, wasn't this just PUAing me?
But after saying this, White Mask seemed to be petrified and stood there without saying a word.

Louis shrugged. He didn't like the white mask, mainly because it didn't look like a good guy.

If I have to describe it, it's like the white mask and black cloak in Spirited Away, which looks eerie and gives people goosebumps. Seeing the knight in golden armor going farther and farther away, Louis cast an illusion spell on himself and ran towards the abandoned church in front of him while the knight was leaving.

Climbing up the hillside, a bonfire could be clearly seen burning inside the church through the broken wall. Louis walked over and saw a man dressed as Santa Claus sitting on the ground, holding something like a erhu in his hand, and a mule standing next to him.

"You are a faded one, I can tell." The "Santa Claus" greeted him, "and it seems that you still have some sanity left, and you won't go crazy and attack me... In that case, would you like to buy something from me? My name is Curry, and you may not be able to tell, but I'm actually a businessman."

"I have no money." Louis shrugged, indicating that he was a poor guy.

"It's okay." Kale put down the instrument in his hand and took out a dozen throwing knives from his pocket. "These are for you. We don't need money. Runes are generally used as trading currency in the border areas now. You Faded Ones can get them from the enemies... Oh, don't get me wrong. A wandering merchant like me can't convert many runes."

"It depends on what you said." Louis took the flying knife and smiled. "I wouldn't attack a rational person, but it's hard to say for those madmen who have lost their minds."

"Yeah." Kelly's tone gradually became warmer, especially after confirming Louis' friendliness again.

"What is this anvil here used for?" Louis asked curiously, looking back at the anvil.

After thinking for a moment, Kale replied, "Oh, I don't know how long this thing has been here, but it seems that no one has ever known what it is used for, and no one has been able to pick it up. Look, the fine blacksmith's hammer and anvil have been placed in this dilapidated Ailei Church for who knows how long, and they still look brand new."

Louis leaned forward to take a look, and patted his eye of identification with concern.

"Inherited items: anvil, blacksmith's hammer, which carry the inheritance of forging knowledge. It is recommended to give them to people with forging talent. It is said that they will quickly understand the true meaning of forging."

Louis thought of Hannah almost immediately.

Let her try this thing? Thinking of this, Louis put the anvil and blacksmith hammer into the system space under the god-like eyes of Kale.

"It seems that this thing is destined for me." Louis said with a laugh.

"You are worthy of being Lord Faded. It seems that you have the potential to become the King of Elden." Kale praised sincerely, but Louis found it irritating no matter how he listened to it. It was a bit too much, as if saying "My friend Louis has the potential to be an emperor."

After chatting for a few more words and saying goodbye to Kelly, Louis decided to continue walking forward and take a look.

Of course, I didn’t forget to click the blessing at the Ailei Church before leaving.

After walking a few steps, he saw a soldier patrolling with a torch in broad daylight. He looked like a normal person. Louis approached him and killed him with one shot, and then something strange happened.

Golden spots of light flew out from the soldier's body and gathered on Louis. At the same time, the voice of the system rang out.

"Unlock the currency module. Current rune value: 50."

"Note: Rune values ​​can be combined into Runes. 10 Rune values ​​can be combined into the first Rune El. Three El runes can be combined into the second Rune Ed through some means. Three Rune Eds can be combined into the third Rune Tir, and so on."

Louis' face darkened after he did the math. To synthesize a Zod No. 33, the price would be sky-high.

However, he was not surprised that runes and runes were interchangeable. After all, both of them are called rune in English, but with different translations.

Continuing forward, through the tree-lined path, Louis went up the slope and saw a camp at the foot of the slope.

It was probably an abandoned checkpoint, with many soldiers and several knights who looked difficult to deal with. As a man of tact, Louis chose to take a detour and turned left to the city gate tower to have a look - he saw a shining blessing over there.

As I walked to the edge of the blessing and just touched it, a soft female voice sounded beside me.

"Hello, who came through the fog..."

Louis turned his head and saw a woman, her body covered by a black cloak, revealing only a pair of brown leather boots. She slowly walked forward and introduced herself: "My name is Melina, I want to negotiate a deal with you."

As she spoke, Melina lifted the hood of her black cloak, revealing her beautiful face.

The only flaw was that there seemed to be something wrong with her eyes. Her left eye was always closed, and there was something black on it that looked like a tattoo.

But this cannot conceal her beauty, and it seems to add some mystery.

"Melina?" Louis really had never played the game... It's not that he had never played it, it's just that he traveled through time before he got past the tree guard.

But he had also heard of various classic memes on major websites and in Facebook groups, such as "Melina, I hate you like a piece of wood", "For Lani, I turned into a werewolf", and "A turtle stuck on a cliff and asked if you were wise", etc...

And the person in front of me is probably the famous little wooden man, right?
But she looks quite wooden, and obviously not a gentle and tolerant woman like the Fire Keeper.

"You are not a fader." Melina's first words made Louis feel that this woman was obviously extraordinary.

"But it's almost the same... I don't know why you can get runes, but I can see that you can't transform runes into your own power... How about we make a deal? I will help you transform runes into your own power, and you... I need your help. Take me to the foot of the golden tree, how about that?"

Louis nodded and said, "Okay."

"Even if the deal is done, when you want to turn Rune into your own power, just call me at the Blessing Place... Oh, there is one more thing." Melina took out a small ring from her cloak and handed it to Louis. "Torret chose you, I hope you treat it well."

"Torrent?" When Louis heard the word torrent, a sense of strangeness crossed his mind.

I didn’t find it strange when I heard Chinese translations in my previous life, but why is it so easy to be misunderstood when I hear English translations now?

"Yes, Torret. Infuse magic power into the ring and call Torret, and it will appear." Melina thought for a moment and added, "Torret is a horse. This ring is like a whistle to summon it. If you want to go to the foot of the golden tree, you can't rely on your own feet alone."
