Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 756 The Only Ornament
"This is……"

When Li Miao's gaze fell on the ring on his finger, the information that appeared on it made him shudder and his pupils constrict.

You have obtained an accessory with the "unique" attribute.

[Unique Trait: In this shattered world, chaotic rules have made many things seem cheap, yet some things, by sheer chance, remain unaffected and unique. (Equipment with this trait may not be powerful, but it is unique in the entire game and cannot be obtained by other players through the same means.)]

【Kenara's Ring of Obsession (Unique)】

[Type: Accessories]

【Effect: ① Kenara's soul and obsession reside here, and she can provide you with many unexpected forms of assistance. ② Kenara's obsession is bound to player "Miao Ge Bu Gua Ke" and cannot be traded or lent. You can discard this accessory by refusing Kenara's soul and obsession.】

[Note: Her ugliness brought Kenara a deep sense of inferiority, but the beauty she once craved had never brought her joy. Now, however, the confusion in her heart has been completely replaced by unwavering resolve. Blessed by the long night, she will bravely pursue her knight, no matter the outcome… I have found you, my knight…]

Kenara's Ring of Obsession?
The only one? The only one in the entire game?
Holy crap, what kind of new quality is this? I've never heard of it before...

And...it seems like this was given to me by Kenara?

what's up?
Li Miao was completely bewildered and dumbfounded. This unexpected windfall left him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

However, a familiar voice coming from the side quickly caught his attention.

"Miao, my knight... please forgive me for making the decision to follow you without my consent. This must have caused you a lot of trouble."

"I beg you, let me accompany you in this way, following in your footsteps... I want to help you, and I also want to witness with you the burning ideals in your heart..."

"However, this must have caused you a lot of trouble..."

"If this bothers you, or if you dislike my uncleanliness... then please take off the ring..."

"Thank you for the light that once illuminated my path..."

"In any case, I have no regrets..."

Kenara's illusory figure appeared beside Li Miao, her voice melodious yet firm.

She told Li Miao her intentions, but also knew that what she was doing was actually very offensive.

She didn't want to trouble Li Miao, but she had to do it because she didn't know if this was her only chance in this life... to pursue her knight.

Therefore, she had to take this step.

No matter what the outcome is.

After listening to her words, Li Miao roughly understood what had happened.

Oh... So she actually saw me as the knight who truly cared for her?
It looks like this is a hidden storyline that only happens once in the game...

He actually ran into it.

What great luck! Hehe.

After understanding what had happened, Li Miao looked at the ring and smiled.

"Although I don't think I'm as good as you say..."

"But if you're willing, then come along."

"But let me make this clear first, there are many dangers associated with following me."

He'd be crazy not to want a unique accessory.

Even if this ring is completely useless and can only be used for decoration, its collectible value is still top-notch.

"I am not afraid of danger."

"Thank you for agreeing to let me follow you, my knight."

Kenara's voice rang out, and her phantom-like face showed an undisguised joy.

Being able to accompany Li Miao in this way for a long time was her greatest wish in this life. "Alright, let's go."

Li Miao breathed a sigh of relief, put the Dragonspine Greatsword back into his inventory, and walked towards the Milestone Candle.

He chatted with Kenara as they walked.

"By the way, how did you leave that temple? If I remember correctly, the power of the Long Night was supposed to be binding you trial participants, right?"

"It is the power left behind by Lord Long Night... He left a blessing in my heart, and when I found the true knight in my heart, it responded, enabling me to break through this shackle..."

"I see... It seems the Queen of the Long Night is truly a kind-hearted beacon of hope..."

Li Miao was somewhat moved. Many details they had explored in the Long Night Divine Realm revealed the wisdom, kindness, and gentleness hidden beneath the cold, dark night of the Long Night Queen...

"By the way, this form of yours also consumes power, right? Do you need my help?" Li Miao asked.

Upon hearing this, Kenara was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and tilted her head slightly to look at him.

"...Miao, you are such a warm person."

Her voice was gentle, and she was sincerely praising him.

It's hard to imagine that someone, upon encountering such a situation, would first ask if she needed help, rather than what she could do to help...

He truly was her destined knight...

"Ahem, don't praise me like that. We'll be fighting side by side from now on. I'm just doing this to make future explorations easier... Anyway, just let me know if you need anything."

Li Miao coughed lightly, his face flushing slightly beneath the mask. The AI ​​simulation of this spirit candle was truly outrageous; it could express emotions so clearly in its voice...

"Hmm... Kenara won't be polite. I do need you to occasionally give me some of the power of war so that I can help you better."

"No problem... By the way, what are your abilities again?" Li Miao then remembered the most crucial thing.

"If necessary, I can reappear to help you fight. All my previous spells and prayers are still available. Of course... if you have any spells or prayers you would like me to learn, I will try my best to learn them."

Kenara said seriously.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!" Li Miao stopped in his tracks and exclaimed in surprise.

Isn't this equivalent to him bringing along a self-aware NPC helper?
Moreover, it possesses complete self-awareness, unlike players who are limited by the number of skills.

They can even learn skills on their own?
That's incredible... No wonder it's a "unique" quality.

"Hahahaha, well done, planner! Great job, Spirit Candle! I absolutely love you guys!"

"I'll offer you three extra incense sticks when we get back!"

Li Miao excitedly pumped his fist, almost jumping up with excitement.

Upon seeing Li Miao's appearance, Kenara in the ring couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Although she didn't quite understand what Li Miao meant by "plan" and "spirit candle," judging from Li Miao's happy expression, he didn't look down on her; on the contrary, he was very pleased.

This naturally made her very happy.

The two gradually moved away from the desolation and headed towards the milestone candle that symbolized hope.

"Wait a minute, I feel like I've forgotten something?"

Li Miao suddenly frowned slightly, and thoughtfully searched through his inventory, but found nothing missing.

After confirming that everything was correct, he shrugged and didn't think about it anymore.

"Kenara—"

The pitiful cries from the desolation still echoed, but they could no longer reach the ears of the person he cared about...
