above the ring

Chapter 6 Blood Knight Emblem
For a moment, Lear felt his brain twitch.

But the reaction was not big, and he didn't care.

Many books in the study cave are basic teaching knowledge, just like the study cave in the game, it is an exclusive tutorial point.

Lear felt that the harvest in the cave should be a clue about the forbidden technique of "attaching limbs".

After sorting out his thoughts, he decided to leave the tomb first, always staying in a dark and damp place, people will get moldy.

So, Lear went to the golden tree bud, and at the root of the tree bud, he found a seed emitting golden light.

The role of "Golden Tree Seed" in the game is to increase the number of uses of the Dettol bottle.Dettol bottles are divided into red and blue, which are blood medicine and blue medicine in the traditional sense of the game.

For Lear, he seldom uses the Dettol bottle, and the only thing that is useful to him is the red Dettol bottle, which is blood medicine.

Although the technique of rebounding is powerful, there are still many skills in the world of the ring that cannot be rebounded. At this time, Lear can only choose to force the opponent's skills to get closer to the opponent.

Generally, when fighting against such monsters, Lear usually dances on the tip of the knife, because when Lear gets close to these monsters, he is basically out of blood. If you pick it up, you will end up dead.

These are all things that happened in the game in reality. Now Lear has also picked up the golden tree seed and received the equipment space stored in his mind. He did not find the blessing point to upgrade immediately, but stored the seed. He felt that keeping this thing might be more useful.

For example, catch a stray fish.

Go up the steps, push open the heavy stone gate, and walk into the tomb passage made of stone bricks.

There is some pungent smell in the damp smell, and the sound of vibration is faintly heard from the inside of the wall.

Turning the corner and still going up the steps, a new blessing point came into Lear's eyes.

This is not the blessing point in the guide screen, or in other words, this blessing point is not in the guidance.

Next to the blessing point, the magic fog door came into Lear's eyes, and on both sides of the fog door were little devil statues.

The Fog Gate needs a stone sword key to open it. It is said that it is an ancient mechanical spell, the product of the combination of protective magic similar to barriers and blindness, and is the crystallization of the wisdom of human magicians at the ancient border.

There was a corpse near the fog gate, dressed differently from the soldiers and dignitaries below, but somewhat similar to himself.

Lear walked over and found a dagger named "Finger Knife" and a finger-shaped thing on the corpse.

"Finger Knife" is an item used in the game for players to return from other people's worlds.

The "fade finger" is an item in the game that allows players to play online mode. Of course, this is also one of the items left by the dead faders to prove their existence.

Lear put away the severed finger knife and the finger of the faded person, stored these two things in the near-consciousness space, and then continued to walk upwards.

In the dark underground tomb, cool-colored candles were lit, and a circular power ladder well appeared in front of Lear. Eight pillars surrounded the power ladder, and there was a pedal mechanism in the middle.

Lear didn't hesitate, walked forward, stepped on the mechanism, and there was a brief roar, and the power ladder was slowly pulled up. Within ten seconds, the power ladder stopped, and another upward step appeared in front of Lear.

Going up the steps, an upward iron door appeared in front of Lear, and the iron door was engraved with patterns that he could not understand.

He squatted down halfway, grabbed the crack of the door below with both hands, and with all his strength, the door was slowly lifted.

The golden light penetrated from under the iron gate, and as the iron gate rose, the junction area illuminated by the huge golden tree finally came into Lear's eyes.

Stepping out slowly, the large golden trees, the lush green grass, and the red berries dotted among the grass leaves, the dilapidated church covered by the trees, and even the golden white clouds are all extremely realistic and clearly presented. .

In the distance, on the huge mountain, amidst the whistling wind, the city of Stonewell, located on the edge of the cliff, stands majestically. A long stone bridge connects a tall stone tower, setting off the golden tree standing on it—the sacred tree Higher than the clouds, those branches cover the sky and the sun, that seems to be the supreme golden light, majestic and magnificent!
This is exactly the same as the picture presented by the blessing guide in the study cave.

"Is this really a dream? It's so real."

Lear muttered to himself.

After clearing up his mood, he continued to walk forward. Not far from the tomb, there was a blessing point.

Lear touched the blessing point, and the golden arc of light that looked like a rune guided Lear to go forward.

【The beginning of the guide】

These four characters appeared in front of Lear with the opening of the blessing point. Compared with the previous birthplace, this place is the original place of the real faders. Throughout the ages, all those who return to the borderland Those who fade will be guided by their own witches, come here, and start their road to becoming kings from here.

Suddenly, a picture appeared in Lear's mind along with light spots—it was a guiding picture—a huge and magnificent checkpoint appeared in the picture.

Lear knew where it was, the Storm Pass, the huge pass outside Stonewell.

There have been two stories in this level, one is a small person and the other is a big person, but one is tragic and the other is a joke.

".Oh, you're a fader, aren't you?"

A strange male voice came, interrupting Lear's train of thought.

Lear turned around and looked at the person coming.

Wearing a white face mask, a light armor, and a bunch of red thorny flowers pinned to his waist, he rubbed his hands through gloves and walked towards Lear.

"Oh, I came to this junction because of my desire for Elden's ring. You don't need to say much, I know everything. That's the way it is, but it's really sad."

He paused, looked left and right, and suddenly continued in a mocking tone, "You don't have the company of a witch, you don't know where the guide is, you can't get the power of Rune, and you can't be invited to the round table hall, you can only die Be silent."

"Of course, even if you don't have a witch, you still have a glimmer of hope, because you met me, Fan Lei. You know the blessing, right? It's the golden light that can give you faders a rest. That cluster of golden light will produce light, Pointing in a certain direction - that's the so-called 'blessed guidance', the path that faded people should travel on - oh yes, guidance will not only tell you where the faded person should go, but also tell you , where was he buried?"

My guide is a picture instead of a simple beam of light. It seems that your version has not been updated.

This man named Fan Lei is extremely arrogant, as if he doesn't care about Lear at all, maybe in his eyes Lear is indeed a small role.

In fact, Lear sees himself and feels that he is a small character.

A ragged cloak, rusty armor, a shield so worn that the patterns can no longer be seen clearly, and a straight sword hanging from a sewn leather bag in its sheath. no difference.

"Let me think about it, um, the direction that the blessing guides, ah, it must be the city on the cliff, Stonewell. That city is the old and ugly demigod, the residence of the 'graft' Greek Get going, Faded Ones longing for Elden's Circle without the guidance of a witch, as it should be."

After speaking, Fan Lei showed a look of indifference.

When I first played the game of Ring, Lear felt that this guy should be a character that basically appeared in the soul games of all ages. "Brother Disappointed", he always said some mournful words, conveying negative emotions such as discouragement and sadness. NPCs, of course, will taunt the player for being heroic from time to time, but then end up giving their lives to be a hero themselves.

To be honest, the character in the same line as "Brother Disappointed" is still very popular among soul game players, probably one of the most successful characters.

But later, in the excavation of the majority of netizens, Lear learned the real identity of this guy from the post bar. He is a preacher of the Menggewen Dynasty in the underground world. There is the idea of ​​bloody betrayal, which pulls people into the blood king's command and supports the blood king's land at the border.

The Blood King Menggewen is the brother of the Omen King Menggett, a strong demigod who possesses a large rune fragment that can repair the magic ring.On the eve of the Fragmentation War, the two brothers who were framed as a bad omen because of their own appearance were imprisoned underground in the royal city with those who had the same appearance. Satisfying his desire to be king, he went deep into the ground all the way, accepted people who admired blood and killing, and established his own power. Ambitious, he also tried to open up a new dynasty different from the golden tree.

It is said that this guy was also guided by a foreign god, well, it should not be a good thing.

When the Fragment War broke out, Menggewen's power soared. He did not know where to get the key information of becoming a king, and planned a blood conspiracy. After the first battle, the king's army disintegrated. Later, after the second Rodel defense battle, Mikaela was kidnapped, forcing the Valkyrie to go all the way south to find her brother, and finally caught up with the defeated Lataen in Galid.

It is worth mentioning that during the second battle of defending Rodel, the king's army stationed in the king's city was almost withered, and there were only a few hundred people left. "Ghost", the hero of the world who fought alone outside the king's city, and the broken star general Lataen who once had an undefeated record was defeated at that time.

What Lear later learned from the post bar was that Meng Gewen formed a hunting organization called "White Mask" in order to open up a new dynasty. The people in this organization all have one thing in common, and they all have a blood finger in their hands. , this blood finger is the prop used to kill other faded companions. There are many similar people in this world, chasing the thrill of killing and gaining strength in blood.

The "White Masks" have a ridiculous swearing ceremony, which is to kill their own witch through betrayal, and stain the witch's blood on the swearing cloth, so as to join this bloody sect that has no benefits and no basic board and lodging. And in order to wait to see the king of the so-called new dynasty.

Oh, those who have passed the ceremony can get a badge called the "Pure Blood Knight Badge". This badge has the power of teleportation, and it can be used to teleport to the underground Mengwen Dynasty.

At that time, Lao Feng was still teasing the introduction on the badge with Lear, saying that "now is not the time to meet with God, the king is spending a good night with God", but Lao Feng sent tens of millions of runes in the past, and felt that he had stood up After I fucked this guy by the way, I saw that he was making love to an egg, and the sound made by that egg was still a male voice.

Old Feng laughed for a long time, and when he arrived at the company the next day, he complained to Lear: "Just let me tell you that the blood king likes an egg. This egg is still a man. This comrade is really a role model. What a good night for you!" He did it, haha, it's so funny!"

Lear is also very disgusted with this guy, as well as the behavior of everyone in this dynasty. If the people in the Volcano Mansion finally raised a group of traitors because the master deviated from the original ideal and determination, there are still traces to follow , It is understandable, at least they still follow the basic chivalry, like Bernal, the traitor, is a classic example.

But the Blood Dynasty started from Menggewen, a demigod. From top to bottom, all the filthy and self-aware guys are naked betrayers. A gore monster born of flesh and blood.

So, on the day he got the news from Old Feng, he immediately spread it to the Rose Church in Lienia of the Lake, and immediately chopped off the white mask, of course nothing good happened.

So Lear made a decision.

"I'm not a fader." Lear said suddenly.

"Aren't you a fader?" Fan Lei raised his head slightly, and turned to look at the ragged knight.

"Can you understand me?"

"Haha, of course, people from outside the border speak a completely different language than here, and I used to do it too, but it doesn't matter, the great supreme will has already cast magic on this land, and it is in the war In the beginning, as long as you are in the borderland, you can understand other people's words, and you can also read all the ancient books, oh, first of all, the ancient books must not be damaged."

"Supreme will?"

"You don't have a witch, and you can't see the two fingers. Naturally, you don't know the existence of the supreme will, which is beyond the existence of the golden tree, so the golden tree is nothing at all."

"I know, the golden tree is nothing."

"Oh? You seem to be very dissatisfied with the golden tree?"

"I never believed in the golden tree. Before I came here, I always thought that the golden tree was a tree made of gold. I was still thinking, how much is this thing worth? Maybe this thing can be exchanged in my hometown Half a house."

Lear spoke very sincerely, and even brought personal feelings into it.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha"

Fan Lei seemed to have heard some special joke, and laughed while clutching his stomach.

No one in this world dares to speak ill of the Golden Tree so profanely.

"You really are a country bumpkin. Have you seen that tree? That's the golden tree I was talking about."

"It's so big, how much is it worth! Can I knock down two yuan and take it home?"

Lear feigned surprise.

"If you want to be able to do that, you can go, and I won't stop you."

Fan Lei came back to his senses, and said in a bad tone.

"Just kidding, brother, let's liven up the atmosphere. I'm really not a fading person anyway, and I'm not interested in that so-called Love King, but I think you're pretty awesome. Do you accept people there?"

"I want to accept people, but, just you? Pull it down, we don't accept fools."

"Hey! I underestimate people, don't you? Tell you, in my hometown, I'm the most powerful one. Let me tell you, I can kill seven giants at once, and I can kill two giants by the way. Our hometown The king has to call me uncle."

Fan Lei looked Lear up and down, feeling that the man in front of him was bragging.

"You said you could kill seven, what's wrong with killing seven?"

"Seven knights, two giants, this is my brother's record, look at this man's ragged cloak, look at this rusty armor, let me tell you, these are all my brother's military medals!"

"Why don't I believe it?" Fan Lei rubbed his hands.

"Look at your outfit, killer, assassin? Could it be that you are a coal miner? Alas, don't care what you are, anyway, you are all those things that roll all over the floor and can't get on the table, do you believe it or not, If you don't believe me, pull it down!"

Lear turned sideways, raised his head, and pulled it like two hundred and fifty thousand.

Reach out and take off the helmet, throw it at his feet, let the other party see his expression: Hey, I just look down on you!

"How dare you provoke me? Do you know what you are doing?"

"You are not a knight, why should I respect you?"

"I am a knight."

"You bastard is a knight?"

"Hmph, black-haired barbarian, what kind of a thing are you!"

"Yo, you said you were a knight, so do you have a knight's badge?"

"That's natural."

"Take it out and let me have a look."

"Oh, just look at it."

Fan Lei took out a red badge with the blood king's emblem on it from his pocket, which was not much different from the rune bank card that Lear remembered.

Well, the bait has been laid, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"Oh~ You are a knight. Hehe, you can still be a knight. The lord who awarded you the knight badge must be blind!"

Lear continued to be moody.

"Hmph, don't just use your tongue, where's your badge?"

"My badge?"

Lear, who was born as a wandering knight, how could he have a badge, and he is already a vagabond, so it doesn't necessarily mean that the badge was confiscated.

"Isn't my badge in your hand?"

Lear looked at Fan Lei with a smile.

"How dare you defile the noble pure-blooded knight! Huh, a blemish like you, no! You are a barbarian from the borderlands, you are a bastard of wild beasts! Accept your fate!"

After finishing speaking, he untied the bunch of "red flowers" beside him, held him and stabbed at Lear.

Oh, so this is a weapon.

Fan Lei's stabbing power with the weapon in his hand is not very strong, much worse than that of the "limb-attaching" monster, but because of his relatively small size, his speed is very fast.

But no matter how fast the other party is, it cannot exceed the range of human beings.

Lear, who had been staring at the opponent's arm, had a good muscle response, looked at the timing, raised his hand and swung the shield, all in one go.

"when!"

The bouquet-shaped weapon was bounced. Although it was not bounced directly, it made Fanlei stagger.

"Little baby, you're right here. You're still a pure-blood knight. Where's your courage? Be brave, you're as good as this weapon of yours, too flamboyant and too weak!"

Lier is worthy of being a shield-playing patriarch. His mouth-dun skill is full. When the opponent is unable to fight back, he doesn't pursue him. Instead, he directly taunts and fills up the opponent's anger.

"I am! You bastard, I must kill you!!!"

The recovered Fanlei glowed red in his hand, raised his weapon and enchanted it.

It's the same as the descendant of the "attached" noble who can enchant weapons, but that descendant has a golden radiance attached to it, while Fan Lei has attached a layer of blood to the weapon.

It was still a forward stab, but the weapon with the bloody radiance didn't look as powerless as before.

That touch of blood seems to have ruthless power, making the weapon sharper and the attack more rapid.

But to Lear, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Seize the opportunity, when this flamboyant weapon strikes, raise your hand and swing the shield!

"Dang!"

The bloody "bouquet" was blown away, and Fan Lei half-kneeled on the ground.

Lear didn't taunt directly this time, he felt something was wrong, his blood seemed to be churning, he was a little bit over the top.

Thinking about it, it should be the power of that touch of blood.

He calmly bent down to pick up the "bouquet" that Fan Lei dropped on the ground, and the blood color still did not fade.

This power does not exclude Lear, on the contrary, when held in his hands, Lear can still feel its thirst for blood.

Lear stepped forward, kicked Fan Lei who hadn't fully recovered from being knocked out, raised the "bouquet" and stabbed him in the chest.

"what--"

Accompanied by the sudden wailing sound, brilliant blood spattered.

That scene is not suitable for any child to watch.

But Lear watched Fan Lei's body gradually shriveled, pulled out the "bouquet" indifferently, and looked at the beautiful roses blooming on the "bouquet". Competing with the golden tree.

At that moment, he felt a force entering his body from the "bouquet", that force was hearty, like the aftertaste after successive orgasms, extremely refreshing and intoxicating.

This is the absorbing power of that bloody color.

Lear spared a quarter of Fan Lei's life, watching him struggle helplessly on the ground, watching him stretch out his arms and pointing at himself.

Intermittently, Lear heard Fanlei's shout: "Meng, Lord Meng, why, Paul, keep silent. Please answer me, why, I will lose, lose at the hands of you, a barbarian."

"First of all, I'm not a barbarian, I'm a decent person. Secondly, I haven't lied to you. I'm here to travel, not to be a king. Finally, your Master Meng is just a greedy guy. His brother is far behind."

"Goodbye buddy, be a good person in your next life, um, at least don't attack your own witch again, you have to live decently as a human being."

Lear took the "bouquet" and stabbed it down again, until Fanlei was completely shriveled into a mummified corpse, there was no cure for it, and he couldn't feel happy anymore, then he let out a long breath and pulled out the beautiful rose bouquet.

He just glanced at the blood-colored roses, and he had an idea to bring the bouquet closer to the equipment space.

The bloody power on the Blood Rose is too weird, and the feeling of absorbing blood power into the body is too tempting, no wonder there are so many guys going further and further on the road of "Blood Finger". The stuff is just like that, it's too addictive.

Real anti-reverse players don't engage in these fake things, unless they use the same way to return to the other body like now. From now on, Lear decided not to touch this weapon again.

Then he took out the cloth bag with festering blood fingers and the blood knight badge from Fan Lei.

The Blood Knight Badge allows Lear to teleport directly to the underground Mongovin Dynasty, where he can make two moves with the blood king who is in love with his balls. However, he has not beaten this guy in the game before, so he doesn't know the opponent's status yet. With the move, it would be even more difficult if you go straight to the top.

After thinking about it, Lear took off the white mask on Fan Lei's head before getting up.

Under the mask is a mummy face with no human form.

Standing up, Lear looked at the golden tree and Stonewell City in the distance, and walked forward step by step with his helmet in hand.
