Elden Clergyman

What's going on? Colleagues?

"Just wait a moment."

While the other two were still looking at each other, Lorde suddenly noticed something and reached out to stop the black-robed and hooded man who was about to speak. His eyes were fixed on the figure beside her, who was wearing a light yellow dress and a dark yellow cloak that looked like it had been burned by something.

"Brother, do you think I won't recognize you if you change your suit?"

"I never thought so, my dear countryman."

The yellow figure took off his hood, revealing a delicate face without his pupils.

There was a faint trace of crazy yellow flame flowing inside.

"I just heard that you didn't have a witch, so I wanted to come and help."

Jiuluode frowned and said, "You wanted to kill me just now."

Zero: "It was just a greeting."

4The yellow figure shook his head.

8. "The flame burns only as brightly as the firewood it uses. You should know this better than I do."

④ “As flames, you should understand that what I long to devour is not a lifeless ember, but a blazing flame.”

2. "Therefore, I sincerely hope that you can burn even more fiercely. To this end, I am willing to provide you with some assistance."

"But..."

０ He glanced at the black hooded figure beside him, and the yellow figure put on his hood.

Five "It looks like you don't need me for the time being."

"But it's okay, I'll wait here."

Translate "Chaos."

: "When you need me, you can call this name and I will appear again."

After saying that, the yellow figure bowed slightly and then disappeared.

After the conversation ended, Lord smacked his lips as he looked at the place where the yellow figure disappeared.

What kind of riddle is this hanged man telling?

He didn't understand a word of what was said about flames and compatriots.

He had originally thought it was another new boss, and just when he was interested, he was about to pick up his sword and start chopping it, but after a few words, he ran away. What kind of thing is this? Inch stop, right?

No, wait, now is not the time to think about that.

Lord turned his head and looked at the hooded man in a black robe.

"I'm sorry, I spent a little too long chatting with her. What can I do for you?"

Because of the sudden accident, the black-robed and hooded man's thinking was a little disrupted, and the opening he had prepared was now useless.

In response to Lord's question, she remained silent for a moment and looked towards the place where the yellow figure disappeared.

"Is she your witch?"

"No, I didn't know her at all before this."

Although he didn't understand the riddle, he at least remembered the name 'Chaos'.

"Don't know? Then why..."

"Maybe it's because I had a fight with her before, and she's not convinced after losing."

Lord thought about it.

"But what you just saw should be just its leather case, and the name should also be the name of that leather case. As for its original name..."

"I think it's called 'mad fire'?"

wow-

The black robe was lifted up, and she squatted down in an instant, approaching Lord.

The one-eyed girl stared at Lord's face with a serious expression.

"Who did you say she was?"

Chapter 7: My Ring Straight Race Will Not Lose

Why is this sister so anxious?

Lord was a little confused as he looked at the girl in front of him whose behavior suddenly changed after he answered.

And this girl, why does she look a little familiar...

After a moment's thought, Lord remembered.

Isn't this Enka Higuchi?

You're not staying in the agency, you're going to the border area to be an idol, right?

Of course, this was just a joke. Lord knew that the girl in front of him couldn't be Enka, but the problem was that they did look a bit similar in some ways.

"Who did you just say she was?"

Seeing that Lord did not respond, the girl repeated her words again.

"Crazy." Lord came back to his senses: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The girl wanted to say something, but looking at Lord's expression, she suddenly realized a problem.

"You... don't know about the fire?"

"Didn't I just tell you? I don't even know her." Lord spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I also want to know what she is. If you want to know, you can tell me."

The girl was silent for a moment.

"Mad Fire is the most taboo existence, a chaos that will devour all life and thoughts. Even if this world falls into destruction, filled with pain and despair, as long as life exists, everything will continue to thrive, and everything will remain beautiful..."

"I don't understand." Lord shook his head honestly: "In short, it's not a good thing, right?"

“…You can understand it that way.”

The girl paused and lowered her voice.

"So, no matter what, please don't let your heart go wild and don't deny the meaning of all this."

Although during the conversation just now, she also heard the 'mad fire' call the man in front of him 'compatriot' and said something like 'we are all flames'.

But she couldn't see any connection between the man in front of her and fire, and there was more than one kind of fire in the world.

As long as it is not crazy fire, even if it is snake fire, she can barely accept it.

"I understand." Lord nodded.

But in fact, he still didn't understand what the girl was saying, but he just knew that Dianhuo was not a good thing.

"So, what's the matter with you coming to me?"

Now that we have finished talking about the crazy fire, it is naturally the girl's turn next.

"My name is Melina."

Hearing Lord's question, Melina came back to her senses and temporarily suppressed her thoughts about Dianhuo in her heart.

"You should know about the Finger Witches, right? They are the ones who serve the Two Fingers, help, and guide the Faded..."

"But I noticed that you don't have any witches around you. I can take their place and turn runes into your power..."

"You are pursuing the Elden Ring, and this will surely be helpful to you. In exchange, I hope you can help me lead me to the foot of the Golden Tree..."

This was her excuse, but after what had just happened, Melina had made up her mind that she would follow him all the way even if he didn't agree.

After all, she had never seen or even heard of Dianhuo appearing in that state, and his words were quite suspicious.

She wouldn't let him out of her sight until she knew what was going on.

Lord blinked.

So this is his Fire Keeper? And looking at that missing eye, she definitely fits some of the criteria...

"make a deal."

The Fire Keeper came to him on her own initiative, so Lord certainly had no reason to refuse.

"So, can we upgrade now?"

Melina was stunned: "What do you mean by 'upgrade'?"

"It means turning Rune into my strength."

"can."

Melina said, extending her hand.

"Just for a moment, please let me touch you... What are you doing?"

Seeing the hand reaching towards her chest, Melina quickly dodged it.

Lord was stunned for a moment, then he saw the hand she stretched out, realized something, and quickly apologized.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, it was a reflex."

Because previous upgrades meant "touching the darkness in the Fire Keeper's heart", when he heard that he had to upgrade, he habitually reached out to Melina's chest.

After this incident, it was obvious that Melina looked at him with more caution, and even when she touched him, she only touched him lightly with her fingers and then quickly retracted them.

"All right."

Although the runes given by the tree guard were almost used up, he still accumulated two levels of runes by clearing the soldiers on the road and the previous level one soldiers, and added them all to his health.

First, increase the health to 40.jpg

"By the way, this is for you."

After adding the points, Melina gave him a golden ring-shaped whistle.

"Torret has chosen you. Use it when you need to travel long distances."

What the hell is Torret?

Lord picked up the whistle and blew it.

Then, a horse with horns, made of a mass of souls, appeared in front of him.

Is this... a cow or a horse? Or is it a cow?

Looking at the spirit horse in front of him, Lord cautiously reached out his hand and touched its head. The latter did not seem to be afraid of him at all and rubbed his hand affectionately.

Why does it feel a bit cute? And in this game, you can't ride a horse, right?

"It looks like it likes you very much." Melina breathed a sigh of relief at the interaction between the man and the horse, then stood up: "Well, it's time for me to leave. When you need to convert runes, just call me..."

boom--

The sound of something hitting something.

It was visibly visible that there was a swelling on Melina's head, and she looked at Lord with an incredible look.

Lord also looked at her strangely.

"Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you bumping into me?"

"you......"

"Don't try. You can't live in his body because this thing has no physical body. What you see now is his 'spiritual body'." The blonde girl said lightly.

Melina was stunned again and looked at Lord.

"she......"

"Alice, my companion, has a very low sense of presence. Just pretend she doesn't exist."

After saying that, Lord looked at Alice.

"What are you talking about? How did I become a spirit? Look at this skin, this flesh..."

Alice didn't answer. After looking at him deeply, she disappeared again.

After Alice disappeared, Melina opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything and just stood there in silence.

After a moment, Lord finished his interaction with Torret, then jumped on his horse and stretched out his hand to Melina.
