Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 239 The advantage is mine!

The weather near the Chapel of the Kings was bad and overcast.

It was late at night when Mengbai walked out. Logically, the visibility should be very low at this time, but she found that the surrounding environment was not very dark. For example, she could clearly see a large and majestic castle in the east.

It is separated from hurricanes by cliffs.

The straight-line distance is estimated to be three thousand meters.

Of course, this ancient castle located in the storm and on the top of the mountain is not the most conspicuous, because in the same direction you can see a giant tree that is a thousand feet high and more majestic than the mountain.

Unable to judge distance.

It should feel very far away.

But one can still feel the sacred height and majesty of the giant tree. It is golden from top to bottom, and the light it emits illuminates the sky and the earth, making the night that should be pitch dark no longer dark.

"How magnificent! Whose territory is this giant castle surrounded by a storm? And what kind of place is that golden tree in the distance?"

Mengbai tried to search his memory to find the answer.

But the limited remaining memory cannot provide more effective information.

She didn't think much about it. The most urgent thing was to leave this place. She immediately walked down a staircase, crossed a suspension bridge, and arrived at the entrance of the Prince's Chapel.

There is a small open space outside.

There stands a statue of a goddess.

This goddess statue should be the founder of the Golden Dynasty - Marika, the Eternal Queen!
Just as Mengbai was about to walk closer to take a closer look, a very fierce murderous aura suddenly hit her. Her face changed and she immediately made a move to retreat and dodge.

I saw a black shadow leap up. Although its body looked bloated and huge, its jumping ability was really amazing. It passed over the head of the goddess statue in an instant, and several flashing cold sword lights stabbed down quickly like falling stars.

Dang Dang!

The sound of a sword striking the hard ground, sparks flying.

The monster had already landed where the adventurer had just stood.

If Mengbai had reacted a second or two slower, he would have been hacked to pieces by the monster's sword. When he saw the attacker clearly, he couldn't help but frown and showed an expression of disgust.

"What is this? It's disgusting!"

According to the information provided by the Monster Encyclopedia.

This is a kind of guy called a limb-jointed noble.

Although at first glance he looks like a deformed giant spider monster, if you look closely you will find that he is actually a strange man with a large number of bodies and limbs spliced ​​together.

"It's actually a human?"

Meng Bai observes the limb-attached nobles.

His true form is a young man with a golden crown on his head and delicate features.

But at least several bodies and dozens of limbs were spliced ​​onto his body.

These hands and feet are big and small, some are shriveled, some are thick, and some even come from birds and animals, forming more than a dozen disposable twisted limbs, making it look like a spider monster, with a sense of distortion that goes against nature!
"Be careful, don't be fooled by the strange appearance of this limb-jointed nobleman, his swordsmanship is quite sharp and powerful!"

"Even the top-level Higanbana players were defeated by his sword just now!"

"..."

I heard the reminder from several adventurers passing by in the hall.

Mengbai tightened his grip on the sword and shield in his hands, his eyes fixed on the monster in front of him. He shouted, "Hey, who are you? Why are you attacking me for no reason?"

The grafted nobleman had an indifferent expression.

But it doesn't look like an unintelligent beast monster.

When he heard Mengbai's question, this guy actually spoke, but his voice was hoarse and low.

"Faded ones, stripped of their blessings and exiled... you should not return... this is a blasphemy against the law... As descendants of the noble Golden Clan of Rodel... I will thoroughly purge you of these despised maggots who attempt to pollute this sacred place!"

What the hell?

Rodel's Golden Clan?
Is this what you, the Golden Clan, look like?

"How ridiculous! With such a grotesque appearance, you still have the nerve to portray me as a maggot that pollutes the Golden Law? Just looking at your face is the greatest blasphemy against the Golden Tree!"

An angry roar.

The limb-grafting noble suddenly attacked.

Several sword lights whizzed and attacked one after another.

Mengbai quickly used the knight's middle shield to resist, but felt a huge shock the moment he was attacked. It felt like being hit by a rolling log. The monster was more powerful than he had imagined and he couldn't fight it head-on.

She thought of this and quickly retreated to create some distance.

The seemingly deformed and bloated body of the limb-attached noble can move quickly with the help of six or seven legs, and is much more flexible than imagined!

This guy also has six or seven hands at the same time. Some of his hands are too short and deformed to fight. He only has two relatively normal right hands for holding swords and a thick left arm for holding a shield.

The two swords can always launch attacks from different angles, and can launch a storm of continuous thrusts or gyroscope-like impenetrable back and forth slashes at any time, while the shield can easily block any attack from the adventurer.

Not only are the moves strange and fierce.

The Limb-Gathering Noble possesses several skills, including War Cry and Golden Blessing.

The former generates impact through roaring, which can cause damage and also knock adventurers back.

The latter will add holy golden energy to the weapon, making the attack more sharp and difficult to block.

Mengbai fought with him for several rounds and was suppressed by this guy the whole time. This guy definitely has a strength of no less than the second level, while the adventurer only has an initial combat power of the first level five stars.

The difference is too big!
Even with up to 800 years of experience.

But Mengbai is a dragon after all, and is not very good at fighting in human form.

She hadn't lasted more than ten rounds before being forced into a corner. She launched a flurry of stabbings with her gorgeous golden straight sword, but her shield was immediately broken by the opponent's intensive attacks. One of the swords hit her chest directly, causing irreparable injuries.

"Damn... this guy's sword is too fast and too tricky!"

Mengbai was very unwilling!
I didn’t expect to encounter setbacks one after another before the journey even started!

First, his own witch was killed, and then he encountered such a difficult enemy. With his current strength, he had basically no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation!

However, surprisingly, although the limb-removing noble was defeated, the secret realm challenge was not over.

What happened?
Could it be that being defeated is also part of the plot advancement?

If that's the case, it would explain why we encountered such a strong enemy at the beginning!
Mengbai only felt that he had lost control of his body and was thrown from the cliff into the raging sea. Then he lost consciousness in the cold water. He didn't know how long it had been, but it was just a short moment for the adventurer.

When I regained a little consciousness.

Mengbai found himself lying in an unfamiliar place.

At this time, a horse with horns on its head slowly walked towards him.

The horse seemed to be spiritual, lowering its head to rub against the adventurer. On its back sat a girl whose face could not be seen. She only spoke soothingly in a flat and low voice:
"Torret, don't worry, there is still hope. We finally found it."

She got off her horse and squatted in front of the adventurer to observe him for a few seconds. She could only vaguely see that he was wearing a brown cloak and a hood. Although she couldn't see his specific appearance clearly, she should be a young girl.

The girl continued, "This person will certainly pursue the Elden Ring... even if doing so would violate the Golden Rule..."

Mengbai wanted to hear clearly what else she said.

But now the injury is too severe.

Lost consciousness again.

A few seconds later, when she woke up again, she suddenly felt that her body had recovered. She saw that the wounds left over from the battle had disappeared, and there were two exquisite and gorgeous small bottles in her hands.

"This is……"

[Red Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle] (Secret Realm Item), a rare third-tier item... Introduction: It is said that the Golden Holy Grail has received the Dew Drops of Grace. This bottle is made with reference to the Golden Holy Grail. Red Dew Drops can be obtained at the Blessing Place, and using the Dew Drops can quickly heal any injuries.

[Blue Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle] (Secret Realm Item), a rare tier 3 item...

"They are two rare items!"

"One can instantly recover from injuries, and the other can instantly recover from mana."

"Wow! What a great stuff!"

"Although they are only secret realm items at the moment, things in secret realms never appear out of thin air. There should be a way to get these two items!"

"..."

The adventurers all showed longing when they saw the Holy Grail bottle.

After all, a rare item of third-grade quality is a very valuable good thing, not to mention its practical function. Its quality seems to be higher than the medicine gourd of Ashina Country!

Meng Bai speculated, "I guess it was a mysterious girl who saved me and left me two Holy Grail bottles. With these two treasures, the next adventure will surely be much easier. I don't know why this woman helped me."

No time to think about it.

First, bottle the Holy Grail.

She checked the surroundings and found out that this place was called the Drifting Cemetery. Soon she found the exit. When she walked up the stairs and slowly pushed open the door, she saw the light from outside shining in immediately.

It's daybreak.

The view ahead is very wide.

A shocking picture appeared before my eyes.

No matter whether it was the experienced adventurer of Miracle City or the little female dragon with 800 years of experience, when faced with the scene before them, they all opened their eyes and mouths wide, with expressions of shock and intoxication on their faces.

Old Man Ring in this game.

Each player pushes the door out of the Wandering Cemetery.

Most people will be amazed by the mysterious scenery before them.

The Wandering Cemetery is located at the highest point nearby, so you can see the rolling hills, steep cliffs, towering mountains, and countless ancient yet majestic ruins that are a wonder and make you want to investigate.

Of course, you can also see the city of Stonewell standing on the top of the mountain, and the more distant but extremely mysterious golden tree.

This seems like a realistic oil painting that is both beautiful and full of mystery.

Miracle City Remake.

The map size has been enlarged.

The visual depth increases by ten to twenty times!
Therefore, all the wonders and scenery will be magnified proportionally. The city of Stonewell on the distant cliff becomes taller, larger, and more majestic. Various ruins are often four or five hundred meters high, creating a stronger and more shocking visual impact.

The golden tree shone brightly, covering the entire earth.

"What a world full of magic and wonder, yet also filled with weirdness and mystery."

The various dilapidated buildings, ancient ruins, giant castles, etc. that can be seen with the naked eye alone make people have a strong desire to explore.

The adventurers will then venture into this vast land. They will learn the story of this land and perform a brand new legend, let alone a pure newbie like Mengbai.

Even the old adventurers of Miracle City who have been on adventures many times.

When they appeared here, everyone was excited.

"That massive castle atop the cliffs of the distant mountains appears to be the same one we saw earlier in the Princely Chapel, except that its distance and direction are different now."

"From this, we can infer that after being defeated by the limb-replacing nobles, I was probably thrown off a cliff into the sea by them, and was eventually washed here by the waves, and then rescued by the mysterious girl just now."

"I'll just say it!"

"I want to be king."

"How could he die so easily?"

"It seems the real adventure is just about to begin!"

"..."

This can be seen from the memories awakened in the mind.

This is an area on the border called Nimgfu.

Mengbai admired the scenery for a few minutes, then walked out of the drifting cemetery. She soon found a blessing point camp located about five or six hundred meters away.

Blessing is a golden light that only the one who blesses can see.

This golden light can not only quickly heal the blessed and restore their strength, but also serve as a guide and even a teleporter. Near the blessing, it is easy for the faded to gather and rest to form a camp.

It is said that near the blessing, faded ones cannot fight each other, otherwise they will lose the ability to use the blessing. Therefore, the blessing point is relatively safe. Although it cannot resist the threats of non-blessed people and monsters, at least there is no need to worry about being stabbed by other faded ones.

now.

This blessed camp is simple.

But there were more than ten or twenty people gathered among them, some were warriors holding katana, some were swordsmen holding double scimitars, some were dressed as stargazers, and some were dressed as knights. All of them were dressed in tattered clothes, and it was not difficult to tell from their eyes that had lost their gold that they were all faded.

Some of the faded ones are accompanied by witches.

But most people don't seem to have found their witch yet.

The biggest difference between the Miracle City version of Old Man Ring and the original is that it adds a lot of details and rich content.

While Faded Ones don't seem unusual in the game—almost every NPC or boss treats the protagonist with utter indifference, and the opening sequence suggests they are countless—the game...

There are actually very few Faders that players can access.

The faded ones encountered are all quite representative.

The Old Man's Ring World produced by Miracle City is very different in this respect.

There are not only famous NPCs and plot characters here, but also a considerable number of ordinary faded fish. Most of the blessing points will form camps, and various ordinary faded fish will be randomly refreshed in the camps.

And these small fish.

Ninety-five percent are just extras and cannon fodder.

But a few of them may come with side quests or have special functions.

The biggest advantage of Qi Ji's arrangement is that it can greatly enrich the content of the secret realm, with more side quests and interactive characters. The boundary area, which has been enlarged dozens of times, will appear less empty.

Of course, it can also improve the experience.

After all, no matter if the other A-ti are just small fry or have great skills and strength, they only have one life, which is gone once they die. It is impossible for them to go through the main storyline alone, or even have an impact on the main storyline. However, adventurers can be resurrected and try and error repeatedly.

There is a group of A Tui who have tragic fates and are like cannon fodder.

Provide emotional value and atmosphere groups when necessary.

Adventurers will not only feel more involved.

There will also be a sense of superiority and pleasure.

In this way, this extremely difficult journey that requires constant suffering and abuse has a contrast and comfort. Moreover, under Qi Ji's reset, the faded ones will not only fight each other, but there is also the possibility of cooperation.

of course.

Ninety percent of Afai.

It’s just that the underlying value of cooperation in this world is not high and may even cause trouble.

After Mengbai activated the blessing at the Blessing Camp, she quickly got to know the local Faded Ones.

Most of these faded ones have just returned to the border area from the outside world. There are also some local prisoners or those who were not believers in gold. They had died long ago and were recently blessed and resurrected.

The intelligence these people could possess was minimal.

Or maybe they are in a potential competitive relationship and are somewhat wary of each other.

Mengbai failed to get any valuable information from them, and at this moment other adventurers in the adventure hall reminded her that there was a special person in the camp.

This person was away from the blessing, standing alone outside the camp, with a lantern at his feet. He wore a gray turban and a pale mask, giving him a mysterious feeling.

This is a guy named Fan Lei.

This person with a weird temper might not be a faded person, but is most likely a local of the border area. If you want to obtain useful information, this Van Lei is obviously more valuable than other faded people.

When Mengbai told the other party about his situation.

Van Lei said sarcastically, "Oh, you're also a new Faded One... Longing for the Elden Ring, so you came to this junction? I knew it at a glance, that's definitely the case."

Meng Bai asked: "My witch was killed. Do you know how to find other witches?"

"What? You have a witch, and the witch dies."

Fan Lei shook his head and said, "That's truly tragic. Each witch can only choose one Faded One to assist her, and once chosen, there's no way to change it. There's never been a case where two witches choose the same Faded One."

"What? You mean, I can't find any more witches."

"Hehe, yes. Without the company of a witch, and no one to interpret and guide you, you will not be able to obtain the power of runes, let alone be invited into the Hall of the Round Table. It seems that you can only die in obscurity."

This guy is sarcastic and gloating.

You really deserve a beating!
Mengbai gritted his teeth.

Resist the urge to cut him.

After all, my strength is still very weak now, and it would be embarrassing if I couldn't win the fight.

Just ignore the gloating and ridicule.

"What is the Round Table Hall?"

"Oh, you're asking about the Round Table Hall. That's a place for communication and sharing that only the truly top-tier Faded Ones can enter. It's said that only those invited can have a chance to see the Elden Circle... As for you, the weeds that are everywhere, you little bastards, forget it!"

What a hateful guy.

However, although his every sentence is full of sarcasm and attacks, we have to admit that his words are still valuable.

Mengbai is very confused now, and this border area is very mysterious and quite vast. Without a witch, he doesn't know where to go.

She then asked for advice.

"You can definitely see the blessing, the golden light that allows you, the Blessed One, to rest for a while."

Van Lei said, "That cluster of light will produce an arc pointing in a certain direction. That is the so-called 'Blessing Guidance'. It is also the path you Faded Ones should take, or where you should be buried."

"Although I can't see the blessing, I think the direction it's pointing to right now must be the city of Stonewell on the cliff."

"That's the residence of the old, ugly demigod Greg 'Limb-Girdle'!"

"If you don't know which way to go, why not try your luck over there? You might be able to snatch the Great Rune from him!"

To the end.

Hehe, he laughed evilly.

Mengbai obtained a lot of useful information.

But I always feel that this guy has bad intentions and is even full of malice.

He was attacking himself while at the same time encouraging himself to go to Stonewell City. No matter how you look at it, he had bad intentions.

Mengbai began to think.

The adventurers outside were also talking about it.

"Greck the Limb-Greck?"

"A demigod with a fragment of the Ring?"

"It sounds like he's not easy to mess with!"

"What is the relationship between this limb-jointing demigod and the limb-jointing noble who ambushed us in the Princely Chapel?"

"From a geographical point of view, the Marquis Chapel is located on the small island west of Stonewell City. Most of the limb-replacing nobles are subordinates of this limb-replacing demigod... Even his subordinates are so fierce, they are really difficult to deal with!"

"..."

Mengbai couldn't get any more information from Fan Lei.

She then returned to Blessing to rest and begin planning.

Although challenging the limb-jointing Greg now would definitely be courting death, no matter what, we should first find a way to leave here and head to the vicinity of Stonewell City. There should be a larger settlement there.

"Friend, are you planning to head towards Stonewell City?"

At this time, a burly, dark-skinned, one-eyed man came over and looked at Mengbai with some pity in his eyes, because he had learned that this was a faded person who had lost his witch.

Meng Bai asked: "You are..."

"My name is Hoss, and like you, I'm also a Fader!"

The one-eyed man said, "My friend and I are heading to the Church of Eile. There's a larger camp there, and I heard the journey isn't peaceful. Why don't you join us?"

Could it be a trap?
Those who fade away come from all walks of life.

There is also competition in terms of ability.

Of course, there are some guys who specialize in hunting fellow hunters.

After a little thought, Mengbai finally decided to join. After all, as an adventurer he would not die.

She then quickly got to know the five faded ones led by Hoss. These people were all faded ones who had recently received blessings. Each of them had the strength of about first-level five stars, and everyone's level was similar.

As for their origins, they are different.

For example:
Hoss was once a reserve member of the Knights of Rodel and participated in the battle against hybrids in the Weeping Peninsula. His left eye was blinded by the poisonous claws of the hybrids. Later, he was expelled and died outside because of the "disappearance of the blessing".

There was also a woman in the team.

She was the stargazing apprentice "Sevilla", a young apprentice at a small observatory in the Lienya Lake District.

One day the stars suddenly stopped moving and the observatory was abandoned. The Academy War and the decline of the Kalia royal family forced him to leave. Finally, he was imprisoned and executed by the knights of the royal city for refusing to believe in the Golden Rule.

Mengbai was very puzzled.

This is not normal.

A prisoner who was executed for refusing the Golden Rule.

But now he has received the golden blessing and been resurrected?
Is anyone now eligible to pursue the King of Elden? It seems that after the shattering of the Elden Ring, some unknown problem has arisen in the laws that govern this land!
The other three also have their own origins.

Although everyone has their own stories and experiences.

But these people don't look like bad guys.

In any case, this world makes people feel particularly insecure. It is always more efficient to travel with someone than alone, and in the process you can also get to know them and the world better.

A few minutes later.

The six faders set out.

Airey Church is the only way to get to Stonevale.

The church is not far from this camp. It takes less than an hour to get there along the main road, but it will be longer if you take a detour. However, you may encounter various terrifying beasts, trolls, sea monsters, or murderous Kaidan mercenaries.

However, taking the main road also has risks.

Because recently there have been frequent groups of Faded Ones attacking Stonewell City. Although they cannot pose any threat to this mighty city, it has made Greg very annoyed, so he sent a lot of soldiers to clear out the Faded Ones nearby.

You might encounter Greg's soldiers on the main road.

Several Faded Ones discussed with each other and finally decided to take the main road. This place is far away from Stonewell, and the probability of Grek soldiers appearing is not high. Even if there are, their number should not be too many.

Mengbai joined the team and set off on the journey.

During this process, she obtained a lot of intelligence information from several of her partners.

Mengbai was becoming more and more shocked at this moment, because she had forgotten her identity several times. In a trance, she felt as if she had really become a faded person and a member of this world.

This world is too mysterious and too real.

It has immersive details and magic.

Mengbai didn't feel like he was exploring a secret place, but rather completely traveling into a story.

She had to admit that the secret realm of Miracle City was indeed powerful, and the lord's artistic and creative level was very high, simply to an amazing degree. And now it has just begun, and no one knows what discoveries will be made next.

The few of them advanced four or five kilometers.

There was no danger encountered during this process.

But just when everyone felt that they would arrive at Airey Church safely.

Suddenly, a dull sound of horse hooves came from the hillside in front, and then a huge golden figure leaped out from behind the hill, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

This is a heavily armored knight.

His entire body was covered in thick golden plate armor intricately carved with tree patterns and religious reliefs, and he wore a cloak with frayed edges and a golden tree emblem.

The warhorses he rode were all covered in armor, and he wore a barrel-shaped, full-coverage helmet with feathers or pointed horns on the top. Only the slits for the eyes were visible on his face, and his golden eyes were full of majesty.

"what is this?"

"This outfit is... the Tree Guardian!"

"They are clearly the knights guarding the Golden Tree. How could such beings appear in Nimgefu?"

Hoss's expression was shocked at first, then turned into horror, "Run!"

The tree guard had obviously discovered these faded ones a long time ago. His majestic golden eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the warhorse he was riding let out a high-pitched neigh, then rushed directly from the bottom of the hill.

fast!
too fast!
Every tree guard is a top knight.

Their powerful riding skills and top-notch warhorses are enough to easily catch up with any prey.

Meng Bai: "No, he's too fast. We can't escape on foot. We can only fight him to the death!"

She thought to herself: What is there to be afraid of? I am determined to become the King of Elden. It’s bad enough that I was defeated by an amputee noble who claimed to be a descendant of the Golden Clan, but now I am scared to run away when facing a tree guard. How can this be?

It's just a knight, right? Kill it!

The six-to-one advantage is mine!
