This isn't a souls-like game at all.

【Active Heart】

Item Description: A dark red carved stone shaped like a heart.

Among them is a kind of longing and dependence.

Able to strengthen the incarnation medium with a name.

The vague longing for the phantom of the past will remain in my heart.

Therefore, it can enhance the power of the spirit.

"The incarnation medium's enhancement item can enhance the incarnation medium with a name, that is, Master Lupel of the Fire Crown Knight."

Ye Yiyi looked at the stone in his hand that was carved into the shape of a heart.

This is a precious relic left over from the era of the land kingdoms, and is also an item used for commemoration.

The dark red color seemed to be painted with paint, but even after ten thousand years, the bright color still did not fade.

“Explore here first, then go to the ancient ruins.

"By the way, we also need to find a Fire Crown Knight with an extra-large sword weapon."

After putting away his active heart, he could finally explore the camp properly without the harassment of sneak attacks.

The raging fire just now has burned all the weeds in the grassland.

Nothing of the red gunpowder barrels remained, and only some charred wooden boards could be seen in the ashes.

"Speaking of which, what was that combat technique where Lupel summoned the Fire Sparrow and then transformed it into a crown?"

He had never seen such combat skills in the game, only similar hymns.

The hymn called "Crown of Fire" can summon a crown of fire above the head.

While increasing the fire attribute damage reduction rate, it can also increase the fire attribute damage.

Unlike combat skills, no fire sparrows fly out when performing a hymn.

"I wonder if I can find Lupel's sword here."

He began to covet the two big swords.

After all, the double-sword flame whirlwind slash is really cool. If the flame can be replaced with lightning, Ye Yiyi is willing to call it a sure kill!

After searching around in the ruins, he didn't find any weapons, but he did find a lot of rebar arrows.

This is the arrow used with the Royal Guards' longbow. When Ye Yiyi was shot into the ground outside before, he recovered an arrow but did not have time to read the item description.

【Royal Guards Arrow】

Item Description: Hard and heavy black iron threaded arrow

The flight distance is short, but the power is strong.

Can only be shot with a longbow.

It is said that these are the White Feather Knights of the Royal Guard.

A weapon used for star hunting.

"A weapon for hunting stars?"

After reading the item description, he stared at the arrow in his hand, which was more than one meter long and as big as a short spear, with a puzzled expression.

"What does star hunting mean? Hunting for stars?"

This understanding is a bit ridiculous. This steel arrow is so heavy, how can it be shot into the stars in the sky?

This so-called "star hunting" can only refer to some kind of ritual or behavior that Ye Yiyi is still unaware of.

"This bow and arrows are perfect for me. From now on, the Warrior will also have powerful long-range attacks."

He excitedly raised the Royal Guards bow with one hand, put a Royal Guards arrow on his thumb, and tried to pull the bowstring.

The bowstring, woven from multiple fine steel cables, pulls the black iron bow wall to cause a slight deformation, thereby accumulating strength.

"It's not difficult, it's quite easy." He smiled.

With 60 points of strength, it is naturally very easy to pull a longbow with a usage requirement of 38.

He aimed at the ruins beside him and then released the bowstring.

"Bang!!"

The bow arm rebounded, causing the bowstring to retract, and then shot out the steel arrow, making a violent metallic roar.

"boom!"

The steel arrow turned into a pitch-black afterimage, and when it flew out of the bow, a cone-shaped mist seemed to emerge.

Carrying terrifying power, it penetrated all the ruins in a line and finally sank deep into the outer stone wall.

"Oh my god! This isn't an arrow at all, but an armor-piercing steel needle, right?"

Ye Yiyi ran over and looked at the stone wall that was completely pierced by the steel arrow, leaving only a round hole. His expression was surprised and happy.

This longbow and arrow are really powerful!

If a giant millipede were to take his arrow, it might be pierced through from head to tail!

"It's a pity that there are still too few arrows like this."

He recovered the arrow that had passed through the wall, the arrows that Lupel had just shot, and the ones he had found in the ruins.

There are a total of 34 Royal Guards arrows.

"I don't know if the old blacksmith can make this. It would be even better if I could buy it in the goblin shop."

After putting away his bow and arrows, he continued to explore the ruins and found another active heart.

"Two active atria are just enough to strengthen Lupel to +1."

But the problem is that he hasn't found an NPC who can strengthen him yet.

"If you want to strengthen your incarnation medium, you first need to find a medium."

The psychic in the game was a scary-looking old woman. Ye Yiyi remembered that she lived in seclusion in a small village outside the capital of the Fire Sparrow Flower Kingdom.

"That village is located northeast of the capital, completely off my current route. I'd better wait until I find the witch before looking for her."

After collecting his belongings, he walked out of the pasture and followed the stone wall to the watchtower.

The watchtower is the tallest and best-preserved building here.

It seems that when the unintelligent creature wandered here, it did not launch a destructive attack on this most conspicuous building.

It smashed the stone wall, and then used the cursed black mist of [Stagnation] to kill all the knights stationed there.

[Stagnation Evil] can destroy the organic components in the body of intelligent life forms. Therefore, Ye Yiyi could not find a decent corpse except a pile of rusted armor during his exploration.

The father of the little girl named Fana may have died so long ago that not even a body was left.

Thinking of this, his mood became a little heavy.

Stepping up the stairs and coming to the gate under the watchtower, Ye Yiyi pushed open the door that had long been rotten, hung up the waist lamp and lit it.

The interior of the watchtower is not large. It is supported by four wooden pillars and divided into multiple floors with wooden boards.

The wooden pillars were quite solid. Since they were inside a closed tower, they were a little damp, but at least they weren't rotten.

Ye Yiyi looked around, but didn't find anything valuable.

Then I went up to the second floor and found a rusty but well-preserved war pick in the corner of the wall.

This is a weapon with a pickaxe head that looks like a firefly, and the firefly's beak just forms the hard and sharp part of the pickaxe.

"If you use this thing to hit people on the head, it will definitely open up their minds." Ye Yiyi commented.

【Fire Sparrow War Pickaxe】

Requirements: Strength 12, Skill 10

Damage correction: Strength D, Skill D

Durability: 78/220

Skill cost: [0/12]

Item Description: A warhammer with a large, hard, beak-shaped spike.

A pickaxe used in combat.

Despite its simple structure, it can cause terrifying piercing damage.

It is said that this was the weapon of a miner-turned-monk.

Combat Skill: Rock-Crushing Beak

A combat technique that crushes solid rock with a single blow.

The sharp spikes will penetrate the rock and shatter it.

Consumes concentration points to increase its power.

"Not bad. This combat skill can be used against stone men or stone-gold earth dragons."

After putting away his weapon, Ye Yiyi looked around the empty second floor and continued to explore upwards.

There was nothing on the third floor. Apart from the observation hole in the stone wall nearby, there was nothing else useful.

Ye Yiyi looked outside through the observation hole, but could only see a bunch of lush green trees.

"This thing is so lonely."

Going up to the fourth floor, it was not as empty as the first floor. He found many wooden boxes in the corner.

When he opened it, he found it was filled with bundles of wooden arrows.

"This arrow is in good condition. You can keep it."

Arrow

Item Description: Standard arrows.

Can be used with small bows or long bows.

"This is the first time I've seen such a short description of an item."

Continuing to open other boxes, Ye Yiyi found two bundles of 20 large arrows from the Imperial Guards.

"There are arrows here too? Could this be Lupel's residence?"

He reached the stairs and found that the way to the fifth floor was blocked by a wooden door.

I tried pushing, but the door wouldn't budge.

"Heh~ You want me to find the key again, right?"

Ye Yiyi smiled, took a step back, and then raised his foot and kicked hard.

"Clap!"

The wooden door flew out and hit the wall not far away.

"Easily."

He brushed the non-existent dust off his hands, stepped through the door, and looked around.

The area behind the door is not large, but it already shows signs of life.

There was a dusty bed in the corner, with neatly arranged clothes but no one on it.

Ye Yiyi walked to the bed and just picked up the clothes, she saw a lot of gray-white dust scattered among them.

"How tragic... He died in his sleep from the curse."

He shook his head and looked at the end of the bed, where a suit of metal armor was hanging on a bracket.

"A well-preserved Fire Crown Knight armor."

Ye Yiyi smiled, walked forward, and gently brushed off the dust on the armor.

【Fire Crown Knight Armor】

Item Description: Armor of a knight who swore allegiance to the king.

The name of the Knight of the Fire Crown comes from the fire crown awarded by the Pope.
