Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 60 I am the author who respects Greck the most on the entire internet

Deep inside a small room.

After a blinding flash of golden light, Shirou Emiya, the red-haired friend A, appeared in a dazzling display of style, clad in the radiant, rune-encrusted armor of the Carian Knights!

"Hey! Long time no see!"

Lu Mingfei grinned, his face beaming with the warmth of someone who had just escaped death, and casually punched his friend's sturdy shoulder armor, making a dull thud.

"How are things? Still stuck in the fog of Lake Lienia?"

Emiya Shirou smiled and deftly removed the ornate yet heavy knight's helmet, revealing fiery red hair. The blessed light illuminated his gentle face.

“I spent some time in the Lake District before, but things have been different lately.”

He paused briefly, recalling:
"After teaming up with Rudy to hunt down the 'Red Wolf of Radagan' last time, I happened to meet Kenshin Himura. He revealed some crucial information."

"Oh?" Lu Mingfei's interest was piqued, and he subconsciously scratched his somewhat messy hair.

Emiya Shirou raised his hand and roughly gestured the direction of the path in the dim light:

"Starting from the west of the lake district, head north along the ancient road, crossing the land guarded by four clock towers. If we can break through the ancient magical barrier left by the Kalia royal family... we can reach the legendary forbidden area—Kalia Fortress."

"To date, no one who has faded has been able to truly get to its core."

After struggling in the border region for a long time, Lu Mingfei was no longer the confused and disoriented person he had been at the beginning. Through Shirou Emiya and Kaneki's descriptions, he had begun to form a rough outline of a map in his mind:

The starting point is Nymgford, heading northwest leads to Stonewell, and further on is Lienia. Heading south is the Weeping Peninsula, and heading east is Galid.

The border area is vast, and transportation between regions relies entirely on horses, making it extremely long.

It took Lu Mingfei two whole days just to ride from Storm Pass to Stoneville, and that was with his spirit horse Toret almost never getting tired.

The one who has gone the furthest so far is Jonathan Joestar, who is said to have stumbled upon a "road" built on a cliff in a secret village at the bottom of the valley one day. He then recklessly charged up the road and eventually reached the farthest point that the Faded Ones could reach, the Altan Plateau.

This feat also made him a household name in the community of faded individuals.

But how many people are actually in the circle of those who have faded from the spotlight?
Actually, there are only about thirty of them.

But are these thirty-odd people truly united?

otherwise.

The Faded Ones have vastly different personalities and ways of doing things. Some prey on the weak, some help newcomers, and some work diligently on their projects. To expect them to exchange resources is simply wishful thinking.

With such meager strength, how difficult it is to fully understand the ancient secrets buried in this boundless land, the ruins of countless cities and lost relics.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh and murmur:
"I always feel like the future is bleak."

"Don't say that."

Emiya Shirou comforted him:
"The future is sure to be full of hope. Besides, we don't necessarily have to be the Kings of Elden, do we?"

He patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, his tone gentle:
"If you're tired, take a break. Don't push yourself too hard."

"That's true."

Lu Mingfei sat cross-legged on the ground, placing the heavy Lost Home Greatsword across his knees.

"Actually, I'm not that tired. How should I put it? Maybe it's because I have a lot of things to do there."

The red-haired boy sat down next to him, his posture relaxed and natural.

"Brother Shirou, have you ever been in love?"

"Uh-huh"

Emiya Shirou rests his chin on his hand:

"Love? I'm not very good at that. I've always been busy cooking and training."

Lu Mingfei shrugged: "Who isn't? But recently, a classmate of mine has been getting very close to me. She's very pretty, but she's a bit cold, like an ice queen. I'm a little confused. I don't understand her, and I don't understand myself either."

Emiya Shirou looked at Lu Mingfei thoughtfully, without saying a word.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head:

"It's not what you think!!"

"Um"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Shirou Emiya gave Lu Mingfei a very reasonable answer:
"Why don't you find an opportunity to have a good talk with her and tell her your thoughts?"

Want to chat?

Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky.

The image of that blonde, petite figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Then he shivered.

"Never mind," Lu Mingfei muttered. "Women are really hard to understand."

"Haha, after all, girls are more sensitive. But if you pay attention, you'll eventually understand."

Emiya chuckled and scratched his head.

"Ugh……"

Lu Mingfei sighed deeply and decided to forcefully change the subject:

"Speaking of which, isn't our 'Godslayer Squad' supposed to be a trio? Where's the other hero? And to deal with one Grik, do we really need to use you and me... plus another great god? Isn't this lineup a bit too luxurious?"

Upon hearing this, Shirou Emiya's expression turned slightly serious. He looked at Lu Mingfei with a solemn expression and spoke in a serious tone:
“Lord Lu, do not underestimate any demigod. Even though Grek is considered the weakest descendant of the gods in this land, he still holds one of the fragments of the magic ring.”

The power contained within the Great Rune... if fully unleashed, would be enough to destroy cities, dry up lakes, and even affect an entire region.

"Even if he only used one or two tenths of that power, combined with his expertise in the forbidden 'limb extension,' it was enough for him to establish a bloody throne in Nymgford, and countless Faded Ones who challenged him became corpses in the Hall of Limb Extensions."

"So, frankly speaking, it is almost impossible for a mortal to stand in front of a demigod."

Those who possess a Great Rune are completely different from those who do not.

"That's terrifying."

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"So where's the other big brother... oh no, another good buddy? We'll team up and raid together when he gets here."

"It should be soon, right?"

Emiya Shirou was somewhat uncertain:
“Subaru’s main area of ​​activity is Gelid. That place has complex and dangerous terrain, and the blessings are far apart. I have already sent him a message. But it will probably take him some time to ride to the nearest blessing point.”

Before the words were finished, a golden rune appeared on the floor tiles.

【Narazuki Subaru】

"he came."

"That's what Emiya Shirou said."

At Lu Mingfei's summons, a black figure slowly appeared.

The newcomer carried a bizarrely shaped, enormous spiral sword, resembling two thick, black iron thorns intertwined and spiraling together. He wore a peculiar gray monk's robe, simple in style, yet irregularly adorned with heavy armor plates in key areas, while the high collar, rolled with white fur, exuded an indescribable religious style.

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.

He was filled with death.
