Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 651 Final Preparations, Round Table Hall

Round table hall.

The gathering place of the Faded Ones, which is independent of the real world, also relies on the power of the golden tree for its existence, so at this time, this palace is also burning with flames.

When Li You and the other two returned here, what they saw was a red scene. The walls and furnishings of the round table hall were all burning. The fire was much more intense than in the game. Only the light of the Great Blessing remained.

After a quick glance, Li You immediately drew out the spiral sword, stepped quickly onto the round table, and stabbed the sword into the center with his backhand. The flame field instantly unfolded.

The raging fire in the round table hall was immediately suppressed and extinguished almost instantly.

However, the source of the fire was not here, and Li You had no ability or possibility to suppress the fire of the golden tree, so he could only temporarily protect the round table hall.

The change in the fire also made the people who were still in the Round Table Hall aware of something. Footsteps were heard, and Roderica, who was no longer Little Red Riding Hood, ran out. When she saw Li You, she shouted anxiously, "Mr. Li You, it's really you! Did you put out the fire in the Round Table Hall?"

Li You shook his head: "It's a pity, I only suppressed it temporarily. Once I leave, the flames will come back immediately."

Roderica's expression dimmed for a moment, but she immediately accepted it and said, "Then please help me persuade Mr. Xiu Gu, he refuses to leave here no matter what..."

She also looked at Kara and Millicent as she spoke, even though she didn't know the latter at all.

Since she came to the Round Table Hall, it has been the blacksmith Xiugu who has been taking care of her and teaching her how to become a spirit trainer. She also relies on Xiugu very much, even though he is just an old and ugly hybrid captive blacksmith. So Roderica wants to save him, but Xiugu refuses her proposal.

Xiugu also has his own goal. Now the round table hall is burning, but Xiugu is still thinking about the task or mission given to him by Queen Marika, which is to forge a weapon to kill the gods.

Li You knew that if Xiu Gu didn't leave, he would gradually lose his memory due to the burning of the Round Table Hall, and would only know how to forge. Roderica couldn't bear to leave him behind, so she stayed in the Round Table Hall that was about to be destroyed.

If the blacksmith Xiu Gu can be saved, he must be saved. Li You was about to speak, but he saw Sir Gideon O'Fnir, the Hundred Wise, coming out with his entourage from the corridor on the other side.

"Save yourself from all that useless work... Xiu Gu has his own will."

Looking at Roderica beside Li You, Sir Baizhi spoke lightly.

Roderica frowned. She was always weak-willed and rarely wanted to refute, but Lord Baizhi didn't even look at her. Instead, he turned to Li You:
"Compared to those... you burned the golden tree, right? It seems that the Round Table Hall will soon come to an end. Haha, in the end it is you who are the ones."

As he said this, his eyes from under the helmet swept over Kara and Millicent, and he looked at them meaningfully.

Li You didn't bother to be polite with him and took two steps forward: "So what?"

Sir Baizhi actually smiled and said, "Nothing. I just want to tell you that you don't have to worry about the trivial matters of the Round Table Hall. This place was originally set up to allow the Faded One to become the King of Elden. If the Golden Tree must be burned for this, then the Round Table Hall must come to an end."

"Compared to these insignificant people, shouldn't you focus on your business?"

Li You looked at him and said, "To be honest, I have always been curious about what is going on in your mind. There is an obvious conflict between your ideas and your actions and choices."

Sir Baizhi was stunned.

"But it doesn't matter now." Li You continued, "We will be heading to the Elden Throne soon. If you think you can stop us, then go ahead."

Hearing this, Sir Baizhi couldn't help but tighten his grip and looked at Li You deeply.

Li You didn't care about him at all. He took Rodlika, Kara and others to Xiu Gu.

Xiu Gu was still forging iron as if no one was around. Hearing the footsteps of someone approaching, he raised his head and looked at Li You without surprise: "It's you... I've been waiting for you. Come, take out your weapons and I'll forge them."

"What about the two knives you used earlier? I thought about it and they still have some room for adjustment..."

Li You thought about it, then pulled out the Bloody Immortal Slash and handed it over. When Xiu Gu saw it, his eyes widened: "This, this is...!?"

He took a close look at the Blood Immortal Slash. This sword had now absorbed a ray of power of destined death. Black mist was constantly flowing on the blade, making it look extremely strange. The aura it emitted was even more frightening.

But Xiu Gu's eyes lit up: "This knife... this power! This is the embryo of the god-killing weapon I'm pursuing! I figured it out. I just need to adjust it a little so that the power and the knife can be completely combined into one..."

He became so excited that he raised the hammer without even asking Li You's opinion.

"clang--!!"

Loud knocking sounds spread out. Under the forging of Xiugu's iron hammer, although the appearance of the Blood Immortal Slash did not change, its aura was undergoing inexplicable changes.

As Xiu Gu's last hammer fell, a dragon roar seemed to be heard all around, the Blood Undying Slash jumped for a moment, and then became completely quiet.

Xiu Gu was stunned: "Huh?"

"No, no, no... It shouldn't be like this!? This sword should have been completely perfected and could be a weapon to kill gods! What's going on!?"

Li You stepped forward and took a look. It turned out that all the power and aura of the Blood Immortal Slash had been restrained at this moment. It looked like ordinary iron, completely different from before.

Xiu Gu started to get confused: "No, no, no, no, no, no! Why is this happening?!"

But Li You had already seen the clue, because in the system panel, the "can be fused" note of the Blood Immortal Slash was glowing.

Xiu Gu should have indeed perfected the Blood Immortal Slash and helped it absorb the power of the previously destined death, but because the sword itself was still missing something, it could not be reborn.

Then it was clear what to do next, but... Xiu Gu seemed reluctant to release the Blood Undying Slash. He held the knife and studied it over and over again, trying to understand what was going on.

In that case, Li You winked at Kara, who immediately understood and reached into her magic pocket.

Li Youze said: "Master Xiu Gu, don't worry, maybe I know why..."

Xiu Gu was stunned and looked at him subconsciously, and at this moment, Kala's figure suddenly appeared behind him, raised the stone stick in his hand, and smashed it down hard!
"boom!"

Xiu Gu fell down immediately.

Kara checked his condition and found that there was only a slight bruise on the back of his head. There was nothing else wrong with him. His breathing was stable, so she nodded with satisfaction. Stone swaying magic works.

Roderica and Millicent were both frightened by her sudden action, but Li You had already gone over to help Kara move the people, and said to Roderica: "Why are you standing there? Come and help."

Rodlika couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing..."

"Even if there was no problem with the forging of this sword and it became a weapon to kill gods, Master Xiu Gu would not be willing to leave the Round Table Hall." Li You explained, "He has no other goals at all. Freedom is actually a very scary thing to him. So..."

"so?"

"So let's just use force." Li You said as a matter of course, "Grandpa's skills can also be used in the new era in the future, so why worry about it?"

Rodlika: “…”

Sir Bai Zhi, who had not left for some reason, stood at the entrance of the corridor and said, "So you just force people to change their decisions? This is how you do it?"

"Let's put things in perspective. If you want to carry out your will, I will absolutely respect your decision and then step on your head." Li You glanced at him, "But Xiu Gu is different from you."

Although Li You always respects other people's choices and will not forcibly change their fate, in his opinion, the matter of repairing the ancients is purely a matter of being too picky, which is different from other tragic characters.

He only knows how to forge iron and has gotten used to the life of a captive? Then just send him away and find him a new job! How can a grown man have nothing to do?

Coincidentally, Li You also took back the Blood Immortal Slash.

After listening to his words, Sir Baizhi was silent for a long time. Finally, he said nothing and turned and left.

Li You looked at Rodlika and said, "That's it. I'll take you out later, and then I'll leave Xiugu to you. Take care of him for now. If he wakes up, tell him that the new king has prepared something for him."

Roderica looked at him, hesitant to speak, but finally nodded: "Okay, I understand. Mr. Li You, are you... going to the Golden Tree?"

Li You nodded: "This flame is to burn away the thorns of rejection. Now there is only one last step left."

Roderica then said, "In that case, I wish you all the best... Thank you for your continued help."

"Just take care of yourself and the old man." Li You smiled, "Don't worry about the rest."

Roderica nodded obediently, then remembered something: "Oh, before... Miss Nefeli and Mr. Roger both looked for you, but you were not there, so they left one after another. Miss Fia in this room also left with Mr. Roger."

Li You was slightly startled: "Oh, the three of them..."

These three people are involved in two branches and one ending. However, Li You does not intend to get involved in Roger and Fia's affairs, but Nefeli...

Roderica seemed to have figured out who he cared about more, and said, "Miss Nefeli...seems to have had a conflict with Lord Baizhi. I once heard a quarrel coming from the study. Later, she came to look for you, but when it was fruitless, she said she was going to look for the answer, and left alone, and has never returned."

Li You nodded this time: "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention to it."

Rodlika had no problem this time. Li You asked her to watch over Xiu Gu for a while, and then went to Shuangzhi's room again.

At this moment, the two fingers of the round table, in one word, have been straightened.

It put two fingers together, pointed to the sky, and leaned back hard, looking like its body was stiff. But at the same time, Enya, who was "unfingered" beside it, had also lost his life.

The two fingers of the round table and Granny Enya, their power and even their lives are closely related to the golden tree. Now that the destined death has been released and the golden tree has been burned, they have all become like this.

But even so, Enya's power still remains. Touching her staff can still activate the golden memories on her body and exchange them for weapons of demigods and heroes.

Li You is still grateful for Granny Enya's help. She in the game is even more open-minded and generous. She clearly has infinite life and knows that helping the protagonist, the Faded One, is a great sin and that she will die if the golden tree is set on fire. However, she still supports the protagonist's actions and leaves her own power to help the Faded One in the end. She really did everything she could.

After Li You thanked her silently in his heart, he placed his hand on the staff and borrowed Enya's power for the last time.

"Now, let's exchange all the golden memories that Kara has!"

……

After completing all the preparations in the Round Table Hall, Li You and the other two took Roderica and the unconscious Xugu, teleported out of the Great Blessing, and came to Lienia of the Lake.

Here, Li You entrusted Roderica and the other two to the care of the blacksmith Iggy, and then went to Lani's magician tower.

However, Lani was not here at the moment. Li You talked to her remotely for a while through the magic communication he left behind, and then left again. However, Lani on the other end of the communication seemed to be thinking after listening to Li You's words.

Finally, Li You left the Kalia Castle and opened the portal to the companion space.

When she walked in here, Millicent was still a little curious about the completely unfamiliar environment and air, but then she saw that Yuzu and the other two were waiting here.

"Is it finally the final moment?" V was already rubbing his hands in anticipation, "I've been waiting for a long time! It's almost time to go back!"

Li You naturally knew that when she said go back she meant to leave this world, so he nodded: "Indeed. All that's left is the final preparation."

He then came to the Firelink Shrine, in front of the throne that once belonged to Rhodos. Although Rhodos' body was burned, his power was condensed in the crown and the smelting furnace, and he could still smelt and fuse weapons - exactly the same as Enya.

Li You took out the Blood Immortal Slash, which had become ordinary in appearance, and then took out the black sword of Malicus that he had taken away. Each sword and each blade in his hand began to resonate faintly.

"This time, you should give me a complete version, right?"

As he said this, Li You used magic power to activate the smelting furnace and threw the Undead Slash and the Black Sword into it one after another.

In an instant, black and red flames rose from the smelting furnace and rushed straight to the roof of the Fire Transmission Shrine!
Even the fire keeper and the bird on the roof were startled. One of them walked over slowly, and another started to cackl. Their companions were also looking over here.

Li You had no time to communicate with them, and just used magic to keep the smelting furnace running. The black and red flames in it became more and more vigorous, but then gradually condensed, and finally turned into a black long sword covered by magic mist, emerging from the smelting furnace.

Looking at the long sword flying in front of him, Li You's eyes lit up!
