Chapter 34 The Round Table Hall
"As early as a long time ago, scarlet corruption ravaged the continent of Junction Land. At that time, the golden tree era had not yet come, and Junction Land was still under the rule of dragons and giants. Dragons used lightning and storms to disperse the scarlet mist, and giants used The product of the ashes and flames burning the scarlet, human beings and the scarlet family are fighting endlessly. Even the stars falling from the bright starry sky are fighting against the terrible scarlet as soon as they land.

"I always believe that the power of scarlet is not simply to corrupt the existing life, or to make everything fall into the cycle of 'corruption to recovery and then to corruption'. I always feel that every bit of scarlet power of corruption is There is a self-circulating thinking consciousness, this kind of consciousness is like a kind of spiritual poison, which will corrupt the mind of the infected person at the same time - I have never seen this kind of power, it seems to be a strange law , is as lofty as a starry sky, and as humble as an ant. It can operate freely without the guidance of a god or man or an oracle, and it doesn't even need a god.

"Gods are supposed to be immortal, but the Scarlet is rotting the gods.

"In all the materials I have read about scarlet corruption, since ancient times, all forces have been targeting scarlet corruption. The power used by every god's family will have the power to restrain scarlet corruption, and even used to be with scarlet corruption. Corruption has waged several massive wars. In the golden tree period, scarlet corruption once declined to the extreme, and this scarlet god was even sealed in a remote place underground.

"However, if you really want to marry Malenia, you'd better plan to marry an Outer God who will always try to drag you into corruption. Those huge giants growing on the land of Gelid today The white mushroom that has melted, maybe it is you who married Marenia."

In the end, Se Lian half-jokingly and half-seriously warned Lear that scarlet corruption is not a child's play, and it cannot be treated as a normal energy, and it is not even an ability that can be incorporated into the body and mastered.

Lear also nodded obediently, indicating that he understood.

Before confirming that he will not be harmed by the scarlet corruption, Lear will never touch it, no matter how beautiful the Valkyrie is, it will not work, after all, life is important.

Lear rubbed his hands together and asked again: "Teacher, I have decided to go to the round table hall right away. What do you think I should pay attention to?"

He planned to ask the teacher in this way, and wanted to know how much Serlian knew about the Round Table Hall.

"To be honest, um, I don't quite know what kind of existence the round table hall is, or who is the leader of this fading organization now. After all, when I can still have an impact on the outside world, the round table hall can be regarded as a junction I don’t know how many years have passed, and the old people from the past are still there.”

"The current leader of the round table hall seems to be an old man named Gideon. They call him 'Sir Baizhi'. Teacher, do you know this person? Is he very strong?"

Lear pretended that he didn't know who he was. Now that he had become good at chatting, he was very clear about his position. Only by asking questions like this could he have the opportunity to get some information from the teacher that he didn't know before.

Of course, even if Teacher Selian doesn't know about Sir Baizhi's situation, that's okay. Go back to the real world and watch the analysis videos and analysis pictures and texts made by the big guys, so that you can get a deeper understanding of that gentleman.
Hmm, what adjective should I use to describe Sir Pakage?

"You mean Baizhi? Oh, he is probably a poor man who knows everything but knows nothing."

"?"

So, the teacher knows who he is?
"Don't look at me with that look. I'm not familiar with him. I probably know that there is such a person. He also knows that there is such a person. That's it."

"Then, then you still evaluate him like that..."

"Why not?" Selian tilted her head, and her head mask tilted, "Knowing everything, doesn't it mean knowing nothing?"

"Eh? Seems to be the reason..."

Lear was stunned by Mr. Se Lian who suddenly became playful.

"That's why you have to focus. When you choose a direction or a genre, you must focus on it and don't aim too high. For example, now, you should honestly develop popular applications, and don't go Pursue scarlet corruption, although they all have the same powerful ability, but you can't eat more than you can chew, and you are very lucky to get the power to overwhelm, don't be greedy, understand?"

"Understood... Uh, that, teacher, when will you teach me gravity magic..."

"Lear! Are you listening to me?" Selian folded her hands in front of her chest, and then called out Irena's name, "Irene, help me hit his head!"

"Okay!"

Irena, who had been listening all the time, stood up, and ran over with her bare feet following the sound, stroking around with her little hands, and Lear deliberately dodged the little hands that wanted to make trouble.

"Stand up straight and don't move!"

When Mr. Selian's gentle yet stern voice came, Lear immediately stopped moving.

In the end, Irena touched Lear's face, puffed her cheeks, and hit him on the head.

It didn't hurt too much, but Lear was sure that the other party was trying hard.

At this moment, Irena looks full of girlishness, which also reminds Lear that the blind girl in front of him may not be an adult yet, and under the guidance of Teacher Se Lian, she has more or less stepped out of the shadow of despair.

"Humph!"

Then, Irena snorted heavily towards Lear, and trotted back to her place.

Well, she is still the same Irena, the Irena who doesn't hate Lear for being uncomfortable.

After being beaten, Lear behaved a lot more honestly.

"I'll talk about the gravity magic later. You should go to the round table hall first. It's not bad to listen to the nagging of the two fingers. You can also meet some new friends through there. Multiple friends and multiple paths are better than going alone. Much stronger..."

The words were full of the teacher's care and love for the silly apprentice, and she was afraid that Lear would have no friends in the borderland.

"Teacher, you have to know that they and I are actually in a competitive relationship."

"Get to know each other first, at least know the name and skills of the other party, and then decide whether to become an enemy. You have to remember that there are no eternal friends, and there is no eternal enemy. I am your teacher. Hmph, if there is such a One day, I might ask you to kill me."

"There won't be that day, definitely not!"

Se Lian shook her head, didn't say anything more, just waved to Lear, telling him to leave.

Before leaving, Lear came to Irena's side, left her a delicious meat skewer, and hugged her by the way, so that the little girl would always remember that there was such a big villain as himself, and he would not seek life and death again. Fu, back to the front of the storm level.

Other faded people must be guided by a witch to go to the round table hall, but Lear's witch died very early, so Melina can only replace the witch's duties.

Having said that, I haven't seen Melina for a long time since the first point was added.

"Melina? Melina!"

Beside the blessing, Lear called Melina.

Unlike usual calls to her with no response, this time, at the place where they met for the first time, Melina appeared again with mist.

"You look good again."

Seeing Melina again, Lear felt that there was some vague connection between himself and Melina. This kind of connection was very ambiguous, and it was not clear which connection it belonged to.

Melina bowed lightly, her face expressionless, her golden eyes drooping slightly, she didn't even respond to Lear's words, she looked extremely indifferent.

It's no wonder why in reality, many players will say when they see Melina burning a tree: "Who are you, Lord Mo, I'm so unfamiliar."

Of course, after the golden tree is burned, you have to be familiar with it if you don't think about it.

"Well, Melina, I want to go to the round table hall, can you take me there?"

Melina nodded slightly, stretched out her hand, and said, "Please hold my hand tightly, and I will take you there."

Lear obediently held Melina's little hand.

Her hands are full of scars, like the kind of burns, not as soft and warm as Irena, nor as calm and powerful as Nefeli, but Lear can still feel it clearly, interlocking fingers with her. When you hold it, that peace of mind.

Yes, just like all lovers, as soon as they touched each other, their hands naturally intertwined, without even a brief pause.

He didn't know what Melina's feeling was like, but he had a feeling that he rarely felt since he came to the junction, as if it was an illusion.

That is the relief of not feeling alone anymore.

That is the peace of mind that the soul has returned to so far.

Lear clearly saw that Melina still couldn't help raising her eyes, and the golden eyes met Lear's eyes.
At that moment, the slight emotion that raised her eyes and looked forward was suppressed by her at the same time, her expression became indifferent and cold again, and her soul was sealed again.

She regarded herself as a tool person without emotion, closed the feelings in her heart, and she was not even willing to reveal any emotions.

On the side, the ruins of the storm level also gradually disappeared, and penetrated into the cloud-shrouded spirit world, Lear and Melina went to another world together.

Finally, a magnificent golden spot of light came into Lear's eyes, and the great blessing shone with warm light. Gradually, a round and simple hall appeared in front of Lear, like a parliament hall, and the overall light was also partial. It was dark, only the light of great blessing slowly flowed through every tired face.

The most eye-catching thing is a huge round table placed in the center, and the tables and chairs placed on the side of the round table are exactly the same as the chairs Lear saw in the study cave.

The previous guess was good. The study cave transformed from the drifting cemetery was actually the residence of the faded people. Even if it wasn't, it was also the place where the faded people should bless their power to resurrect again.

Perhaps because of insecurity and other reasons, it gradually became deserted.

Right now, the interior of the round table hall is very quiet, with a few scattered figures appearing around.

After regaining consciousness and coming to Lear, Melina was nowhere to be found.

That feeling of loss hit my heart again.

Taking a deep breath to dispel the uneasiness in his heart, Lear began to seriously look at this slightly dilapidated western-style quaint building.

The round table in the middle of the hall should be the origin of the name of the whole hall. Nine various sword weapons are inserted in the middle of the round table, which seems to be telling the founder of this round table hall.

In the center is a branch-shaped weapon inserted vertically on the round table, emitting golden light that symbolizes "equality" and "unity". As if mocking this so-called symbol.

As it turned out, the once-great Hall of the Round Table had seen rebellions and ruptures, and it seemed more than once.

Leaving aside, just recently, the parting of "Sir Baizhi" Gideon and "Puppet Master" Servis is the most important event in the Fade camp in the past ten years. That split directly or Indirectly led to the exodus of the last group of faded people who were loyal to the round table hall, and also wiped out the last thoughts of the older generation of faded people about the round table hall.

People have deeply realized that it is no longer a place for faded people to listen to guidance, fight together, and discuss major issues together.

The older generation of faders, dead or wounded, they can't escape the baptism of time, even the most powerful faders fall on the road to the king, or they can no longer take back the things they once let. Their famous weapons.

Today, the people gathered in the round table hall are all the later faded people, or the group of people who have been blessed and guided but are no longer the descendants of warriors. The real descendants of warriors have left the round table hall long ago to find their own way out .

Like the traitor Bernal who later joined the Volcanic Mansion camp, the blood-finger hunter Yura who would rather live in the wilderness than return to the hall, and the brother of Diaros, a little waste who can only say that he can't do it, has already died. Focus on developing towards your goals and put them into practice.

Even in the years of wars, the faded people began to have doubts about the belief in the two fingers, and they also had deep doubts about the beliefs they once insisted on, and the so-called "King of Elden" has no place. Few people will care about it.

Unless, there is such a person who really achieved the feat of single-handedly defeating the entire junction.

Otherwise, they may never be able to awaken their already dusty warrior hearts.

Lear, who was leaning against the edge of the round table and thinking about something, suddenly heard an old voice beside him.

"...A new fader? Oh, it's really rare. It's been a long time since a newcomer came last time. Very good, as a senior in the round table hall, I welcome the younger generation here. It's safe here, okay relax.

"Oh, wait a minute, look at the way you carry the shield...I think I've heard of you, your name is Lear, right? My name is Gideon, you can call me 'Sir Baizhi', or whatever else I don't mind. As a senior, I want to give you some advice, now you just have a way to get in and out of the round table hall, in other words In other words, he is just a passer-by, keep this matter in mind, and don't exceed the rules.

"You should pay special attention to the fact that the round table hall is a place where faders exchange information and issue commissions. No use of force is allowed here."

PS: I'm so cute, please collect it, thank you, everyone~
