Chapter 11 Sword Tomb, Burke and the Night Rider
Glancing at the north, turning around, Lear walked towards the south.

Although it is necessary to penetrate Stonewell City, the necessary preparations are still necessary.

"Evil omen ghost", the old man who called himself Markit was actually the incognito title of "Ominous Omen King" Menggett, because of the "everything" of the golden tree, the twin brothers Menggett and Menggewen The two were born with evil looks, with horns on their faces and fluff on their bodies. They were nothing like humans anyway, so they were exiled to the underground of the royal city not long after they were born. Not many people in the whole world know about it .

But after all, the two brothers are descendants of the Eternal Queen and the Prime King He Lai Lu. They are strong and forbearing, and forge ahead. question.

The stinky brother Menggewen felt that this appearance was a curse brought to their brothers by the golden tree, so he ran out from the underground of the royal city and explored the depths of the ground. This is the origin of the Menggewen Dynasty that Lear knew before. A deity called "Mother of Truth".

As the elder brother, Menggett consciously shouldered the mission of guarding the golden tree. Even though the world despised his appearance, he still wanted to be a lone brave man and stubbornly wanted to guard the royal city. In the end, he became what Rodel's subjects said at the time. Yes, "the invisible king".

This king is the king of the royal city Rodel, not the king of Elden.

Montgomery was a real hero, a good fighter, but he was not a good king.

It should be that after he became King Rodel, he launched a war against the volcano mansion, which caused heavy losses for both sides. It was also that battle that consumed Rodel's last vitality, which led to Mengget having to close the gate of the royal city. , in order to be able to protect themselves.

In his impression, the only way to truly protect the Golden Tree is to completely lose contact with Rodel.

This is also one of the reasons why Melina can't go back to the royal city. Mengget will not allow any factors that harm the golden tree to appear.

And both brothers have a very powerful ability, that is clone, and the combat power of the clone is not bad, not much better than the main body, like this clone at the gate of Stonewell City, I don’t know how many cute newbies have been abused , even Lear hit this guy quite a few times.

Neither the prayer sword nor the prayer hammer cast by Montgett's holy line of prayer can be bounced back, and he needs at least three bounces to get dizzy, so the difficulty is indeed extremely high.

If you want to defeat him and enter the city, you can't do it without making some preparations.

Lear misses Mr. Serlian with bare feet.

Among other things, Teacher Se Lian is really kind to his apprentice, no matter whether the apprentice is successful or not, he will always try his best to leave him a place, or a place to live.

Lear was now wearing a Grek soldier suit, so he held up the torch and swaggered towards the ruins outside the checkpoint.

Sure enough, the Grek soldiers stationed here just glanced at him and let him go.

After touching a stone tablet in the middle of the ruins, Lear obtained a map marked "Nimfogsi". It is still the same as the consciousness space where the previous equipment is stored, and he can view the map at any time with his mind.

At the same time, a reminder appeared in Lear's mind.

[Blessing point transmission has been activated]

Well, map teleportation, this blessing function is not bad.

It is useless now.

Riding on the starlight, passing through the ruins outside the checkpoint, Lear headed south all the way.

There is a blessing point in the middle of the grass outside the ruins, which looks like a campsite, and there are lush Roa fruits growing around it.

Touching the blessing unlocked the teleportation point in this place, but Lear didn't find any guiding picture.

After picking a few fruits, Lear turned his head and saw the sword mound on the slope.

In the dark night, the Sword Tomb stood tall and straight. The stele carved into the shape of a big sword stood quietly among many big swords and straight swords. The writing on it gleamed in the dim light of the golden tree.

Lear walked over, lowered his head, and looked at the writing on the sword mound:

["Golden" Greg, the battle of shame.

Fighting "Micaela's Edge", the army was defeated like a mountain.

Kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy. 】

Lear's eyes were hot, and he had a feeling that he wanted to bully Greg now.

Here, "Mikaela's Edge" is the Valkyrie.

It is said that Greg was beaten so badly that he was forced to kiss the Valkyrie's feet in order to survive.

At that time, Grek was still called "Golden" Grek, and he was the only descendant who inherited the title of the legendary prince after "Golden" Godwin was assassinated to death.

At that time, he was not only weak in strength, but also cowardly in character, and the subordinates he led were Rodel soldiers who had escaped from the royal city, and the available subordinates around him were a big tree guard Hogger.

It is obvious that the army is defeated like a mountain. The key question is, what gave him the courage to fight the Valkyrie?

Probably, it should be due to the small number of rotten knights. I have obtained a large number of lost knights and exiled soldiers in Stonewell City, as well as the inexplicable thoughts of glory and faith.

Lear wondered if the Valkyrie, as the direct descendant of the Eternal Queen Marika, would have some kind of feud with Godwin's offspring who inherited the title of "Golden". It took a long time before the Fragment War officially started.

What happened in the royal city during this period, although there is no direct record, but there should have been a lot of disputes between the "golden" clan and the "sacred tree" clan to which the Valkyrie belonged, which caused Gregor to go crazy and want to talk to the Valkyrie. Gestures.

Therefore, it seems that there is not much difference in age, but in terms of generation, it is true that the aunt beat the grandnephew, and it may even continue for several generations, and the names are not too different. This may not be done for Greg. Don't want it.

Next, it is easy to speculate, because he was beaten for nothing, suffered all the humiliation, and even his subordinates didn't respect him very much and listened to him. In order to pursue power, "Golden" Greg became "Limb-attaching" Grek, the glory of the "golden" family that was once praised by people, is now only a life-saving straw that Grek talks about, allowing him to stay awake for a short time in the abyss of forbidden arts.

Lear shook his head and sighed.

"A sin."

Suddenly, Lear felt something resting on his shoulder.

Look to the left, boy!Such a broad saber!

"Go, go, don't suffer from the boss!"

Lear pushed the big saber away.

But the other party seemed to be persistent, and fought over again.

"Are you suffering from some serious illness, you are dead!"

Lear turned around.

A male cavalryman in heavy armor who was three heads taller than him and looked warm was standing behind him with a big saber, with a plush cloak hanging on the metal armor, and the hem was that of an unknown beast. Skin, wild and sturdy temperament, the whole breath of northern barbarians.

Kaidan mercenaries, known in the borderlands for their strong horsemanship and superb knife skills, are a very powerful mercenary army.

It is said that the hometown of these Kaidan mercenaries is on the snow-capped mountains in the north, and Kaidan is the name of their hometown. For some reason, they lost their hometown, and thus began a long wandering career.

Wandering from the northernmost tip of the border continent to the southernmost tip, this nation has suffered a lot.

But that's not why you mess with me.

"What, want to rob?"

Kaidan mercenaries would occasionally pretend to be robbers when they didn't receive work, especially when they found that the employer was weak and the amount of supplies to be protected was large.

The Kaidan mercenary heard Lear's words, but he didn't say anything, he raised his knife and slashed at Lear's head!

It was too late, but it was so fast, Lear turned sideways to avoid the slashing knife, raised his leg and kicked, right between the opponent's legs!

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho, oh~"

Regardless of the other party's male or female, as long as it is an individual, this is a weakness.

The characteristic of the armor on the Kaidan mercenary is that the hem is made of animal skin instead of iron, so there is no protection in that place. After suffering this kick, the Kaidan mercenary acted instinctively and covered his vitals with one hand, his legs were weird. The ground is close together and spacewalks backwards.

"You did it first, don't blame me, ha—"

Lear raised his fist, let out a breath on his hand, pretended to swing it around twice, then jumped up, and punched the opponent on the forehead!
"when!"

The sound of metal hitting, mixed with the sound of metal knocking on the forehead, came with a "plop", and the tall and strong Kaidan mercenary fell to the ground with his head covered.

The big saber also fell to the ground.

In line with the principle of "don't forgive others, if you fall to the ground, you have to make up for it", Lear pointed at the opponent's forehead, "Dang", "Dang", "Dang", three times.

Lear felt that he was still full of ideas, and felt that this strength hadn't been used much.

The Kaidan mercenary was completely silent.

"Hey, you're an idiot if you don't ride a horse!" Lear grumbled, "Huh? Where's his horse? Where's the horse?"

Lear did not find the horse of this Kaidan mercenary.

So, Lear directly took the set of Kaidan mercenaries, and Shunbian also took the big saber into the consciousness space.

In the dark night, the air became heavy.

At this time, the night is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time to kill and steal.

It is also possible that the horse was scared away by something.

Although I couldn't find a horse for transportation, the harvest was not small. The equipment of Kaidan mercenaries is still very handsome.

Put it on now!Well, now it's Kaidan mercenary Lear.

After changing clothes with one click, Lear continued to walk south.

Fields and shrubs appear quiet and comfortable under the light of golden trees in the dark, and the constant breeze rolls up fallen leaves from nowhere, reflecting the beauty of this world.

"The wind brings the seeds of the story, and also my sadness~~"

Lear hummed a little tune that he didn't know where he came from, and recited sentences that he didn't know where he recited, and walked towards the bridge in the south.

The bridge not far away is called "Mengliu Bridge", which is named after the "Mengliu" under the bridge. (Note 1)

"Hey—! People passing by, please help me!"

Lear stopped in his tracks.

By the way, there is an NPC here!is he still here

Lear looked for a large bush in front of him.

"Hey, I'm just talking about you, why do you pretend you didn't see it?"

Lear took a few steps forward and "coincidentally" passed the bush.

".Why is everyone like this? Am I really that ugly?"

The little voice of grievance came, even though I had already experienced it twice in the game, I still find it very interesting now.

It is a miracle that living things can become trees.

Lear slapped the bush. It looked like a branch, but it felt like he had slapped a piece of flesh.

"Ah~ good, it hurts! Ah——"

This slap hurt the little mouse, and he yelled for a long time before he recovered.

Our strength is really not covered, even the tall and strong Kaidan mercenary can't stand it, let alone the petite mouse subhuman in front of us.

"Hey, why did you suddenly hit someone? It's too much!"

"You turned into a tree, I have to hit you, but I'm strong, so, that's it."

Lear smiled, squatted down, made himself about the same height as him, and gnawed on the Roya fruit.

"Ah, that's right! Because I was enchanted and turned into a tree, you are trying to help me break the magic. Thank you, my name is Burke. I was not welcomed by other people in the cave by the sea. I was kicked out, and then returned It turned into a tree, so you really helped me a lot!"

Burke rummaged through his pockets for a long time, and then said to Lear anxiously and guiltily: "Well, I'm sorry. When I was driven out of the cave, all the important things on me were taken away. Really. I'm sorry. I can only give you this as a thank you."

Burke handed over a few sliced ​​white mushrooms, which looked wrinkled and not very fresh.

"Well, that, wait for me a little longer, I want to sneak back to the cave and get back important things, so that I will definitely be able to help you in the future!" the little mouse Burke said seriously.

"But I'm still scared. I need a little time to get mentally prepared. When I think about them and that cave by the sea, I'm scared and my legs won't work."

Burke's voice became a little trembling again, probably, he was really scared.

The light of the golden tree fell on this corner, and through the wind-blown bushes, it reflected him and the ground beside him.

The foundation of this world is always crazy, but even in this extremely thick darkness, there is still a light.

Lear even felt that the little mouse, which looked dirty and had a bad smell, was more sincere than Melina.

He may only have these mushrooms, but he gave them all to himself. He still feels that these are not enough, and he still wants to do more for himself. At least, his kindness and guilt towards himself is sincere. All I thought about for a moment was to repay the favor, and to do my best to repay the favor.

Lear shook his head and patted Burke on the shoulder.

"There's no need to force it. I don't care about these things. It's fine if I want to. I'm leaving. May your future be safe and sound."

"Thank you, you, you are a good man"

Ahh, good person card, it's been a long time since it was issued.

Lear shook his head with a smile, stood up, raised the torch, and walked towards the south.

Everyone has their own journey, no matter whether the other party is a small person or a peerless powerhouse.

Thousands of miles of silver flow eastward, and few people return to the future.

They are all people who are struggling with their fate, a word of blessing will make them well.

"By the way, Burke seems to have a corresponding branch line?"

Because there are very few plots of the little mouse Burke, Lear has never found the next location to trigger the plot. I want to challenge the Valkyrie who I have been thinking about since the end of the first episode.

Later, I saw a post on the Post Bar about the "full picture and text process of the sub-human Burke branch line", and some video sites also had similar analysis videos, so I realized that I seemed to have missed this branch line.

But it doesn't matter, business matters.

After gnawing the Roya fruit three times, Lear continued to walk south. At the moment when he was about to board the Mengliu Bridge, thick darkness descended at this moment, eliminating the last ray of light in this space. ——Lear heard the sound of horseshoes, and also heard the sound of running water.

"Hey, it's interesting, the atmosphere before the appearance is so full."

Dressed in dark heavy armor, he came slowly from the solemn darkness, and a terrifying knight who was completely black, as if from the underworld, walked slowly from the other end of the bridge.

He has a very domineering name.

Night Rider.

It sounds majestic, but in fact, they all have a very stretched combat style. No matter what weapon they use, their movements are stiff and their damage is not high, which makes them look weak.

That's right, there is not only one Dark Night Cavalry, they have a fixed number of ten at the junction.

But no one knew where they came from, wandered around, and what they were going to do.

"The horse is handsome."

This was probably the only impression Lear had of the Night Cavalry. The strong and streamlined body of the horse, and the horse's head wrapped in a black cloth like flowing water ripples, looked mysterious and powerful.

This horse is the same as the spirit horse Torret, it can be summoned again after it dies, and it is even more fleshy than Torret!

And after Melina hit a soft nail and failed to get the cow and horse she had been thinking about, this feeling deepened in Lear's mind a lot.

It feels good to ride this little black pony, huh?

After thinking about it, Lear lifted the big saber out of the space of consciousness.

He didn't put the shield on his back in front of him, because he felt that this guy wasn't worthy for him to play with a shield.

Even if you add the four skinny guys from the pheasant race on the side of the road, it's still a gift!
Simply, Lear carried his saber and swaggered towards the dark night cavalry in front, without any fear.

The Night Cavalry found Lear, raised the halberd in his hand and stabbed at Lear - because he entered the fighting state, he showed a blood bar, which was as long as the tree guard Hogger.

Oh, that's what it means.

"Since you want to be a skill and equipment courier, you must be prepared to be hacked to death!"

Lear raised his left hand slightly, and his right hand gathered strength under his side
"Da da da" horseshoes sounded, but the power of this guy charging over was not at all as powerful as Hogger, maybe the weight of his armor was not as heavy as Hogger, after all, the guards of the big tree were famous heavy cavalry. Even the horses are armored.

The sense of oppression brought by the night cavalry is only the atmosphere created by the thick dark field.

But this didn't make Li Ergao look at him.

so.
Lear now just wants to test how strong his strength is.

As a result, Lear threw out the large saber that had accumulated enough strength. Like a rocket, the large saber was wrapped in huge kinetic energy, and it spun and precisely hit the night trooper's body.

"Da da da, da da da, da da, da da."

The horse stopped in front of Lear.

Lear didn't hear the panting of the headless horse, but he could also feel the horse's doubts.

It rushed over, but the person on its back was gone.

It took a long time for the cavalryman, who had lost half of his health bars, to come back. However, Lear had already stepped on him and punched him in the forehead.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

One punch is about one-eighth of the blood, and after four punches, the blood bar of the night cavalry is completely gone.

This time, Lear gave the cavalry a lot of face. Every punch was hammered with enough strength. Anyway, every punch can repeatedly ravage this guy in the process of waking up and knocking him out. Lear is not afraid of him waking up and resisting at all.

I don't know what kind of material is used for the black fur helmet of the night cavalry, but it is quite durable. The gauntlets of Kaidan's arm armor have been dented, but the appearance of this helmet still looks normal.

It's just that the stone bridge deck under the cavalry's head was cracked by him.

"Hey, I can't help but fight!"

Lear stood up and stretched his wrists and ankles.

A little sour, well, maybe a little too hard.

The dignitary and his three servants, who witnessed the whole process, squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

The classic begging gesture.

Lear ignored them, took away the Night Rider's suit and the long-handled Dark Night Rider's halberd, and watched the unlucky guy's figure turn into fly ash.

This time, Lear found that the fly ashes naturally formed a cohesive ashes and fell into his hands, forming the legendary battle ashes.

【Ashes of War: Combo】

The practicality of this battle ash is mediocre, and a skill that can't be used with a shield is not a good skill.

After cleaning up the loot, Lear turned his head.

The black horse was also heading in Lear's direction.

It was watching him.

When Lear faced it, the horse turned its head.

But Lear obviously didn't intend to let it go.

He walked over with a smirk on his face, pulled up the reins of the horse, stepped on the stirrups, and got on the horse.

"Hey, you are mine now~"

However, at the moment when he got on the horse, Lear suddenly heard the murmur that seemed to come from hell.
That voice did not appear in his ears, but resounded in his mind!
