Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 1 Summer is here, and it's the season of spreading fire again

[The fire has gradually extinguished, but Wang Ying is nowhere to be seen, and the ashes without fire will come pouring in]

In the north of Loen Kingdom, in Winter County.

Another full moon.

A black Gothic church with a steeple towers above the snow-capped peak, and the blood-red moonlight obliquely illuminates the cold sarcophagi in the cemetery behind the church.

The sarcophagus is not sealed, just exposed in the air.

And in the center of the cemetery, there is a bonfire made of corpses.

The blood-red full moon unscrupulously illuminated everything on the earth, and also illuminated a half-covered sarcophagus in the cemetery.

Suddenly, the lid of the sarcophagus was slightly moved.

"Snapped!"

A hand wearing gauntlets burst out of the coffin.

The gauntlet had already been damaged and deformed after being burned by the first fire for a long time, and crimson sparks faintly flowed from it.

The embers of the undead who have spent long years in the dark finally wake up again in the sarcophagus of slumber.

He looked around blankly, with deep tiredness and confusion in his eyes.

"It's the season of spreading fire again?"

"but……"

He looked up at the sky, and the blood moon above his head made him feel inexplicably strange. He murmured, "Why is it a red moon? New story background? Dark Souls 4? Or Yanan?"

"Forget it, these are not important."

He shook his head, and his eyes slowly fell on the bonfire made of bones in front of him.

Anyway, let's start the bonfire first.

"Snapped!"

Embers leave his sarcophagus that has been sleeping for thousands of years, leaving distinct footprints on the snow-covered ground.

Finally, he came to the bonfire without any problems.

No Gravekeepers or Hunger Hounds or Crystal Lizards.

Everything went so smoothly, to the point where Ember doubted his life, and his eyes were full of bewilderment.

But no matter what, he still took out his spiral sword——

It was a large spiral sword with obvious traces of melting sparks on the blade, and it was not cooled by ice and snow at all.

Subsequently.

He put it on the campfire.

"Wow!"

A faint flame rose from the bones with a small crackling sound.

"Ignited?"

Ember muttered to herself, "So it's really a campfire, and this is a turkey farm? It's directly in the cemetery? What about my Fireproof Lady?"

Ember thought about it, and was about to look around for the fire lady.

He raised his head but found a figure appeared in front of him at some point.

The figure was dressed in a simple linen robe with traces of mending, and around his waist was a belt made of twisted bark.

His long black hair fell down wantonly, and his feet were without shoes and socks, covered with dust and scars.

There is no doubt that this is a lady.

"Are you my fireproof girl?"

Ember stepped forward and asked calmly.

He was waiting for the fire prevention woman to give him guidance, and for her to explain her background.

Only in this way can he know where to look for firewood.

"No."

The lady seemed to have expected his inquiry, and whispered, "My name is Arianna, Servant of the Secret."

"So, where is my Fireproof Lady?"

Ember frowned, looked at the NPC in front of him and asked.

The other party was not a fire-proof woman, but she did not question the term fire-proof woman, indicating that she should know the clue.

She is probably the discouraged brother of this generation... the discouraged sister?

"do not know."

Arianna shook her head lightly, and said neither fast nor slow, "I am only responsible for giving you certain guidance, Your Excellency Ember."

"I know Ember, but I don't know where the Fireproof Lady is?"

Ember is a little confused, what is this?
New setting for Dark Souls 4?

"What guidelines?"

Ember quickly adjusted her mentality and asked.

"Becklund."

Arianna tapped her chest clockwise four times, and whispered reverently, "There is the first salary king you are looking for."

"understood."

Ember nodded clearly, since she knew where the Salary King was, everything would be easy to handle.

"So, where is Backlund?"

"The capital of the Loen Kingdom."

"The Kingdom of Loen?"

Ember murmured the name of this strange country in a daze, and asked hesitantly, "This is Rodland? Where is Arnoel Londo?"

"I've never heard of this place."

Arianna thought for a moment and shook her head slightly.

"never heard of that?"

Ember frowned and asked, "Then where is this place?"

"Northern Loen Kingdom, Winter County."

Arianna frowned slightly.

"Then how should I go to Backlund?"

Ember nodded, then asked again.

He had just asked a question when he saw the lady in front of him stretch out her hand.

"Boom!"

Ember subconsciously stretched out her left hand and flicked away the lady's outstretched hand, and an ice-blue straight sword of Elusil instantly appeared in her right hand.

But seeing that the opponent didn't seem to be frozen, he didn't make the next move, but prepared to wait for the opponent to attack and then rebound again——

Until further toughening made her completely stiff.

"I have no malice."

Arianna, whose palm was ejected, did not take any further action, but tapped her chest clockwise four times again, and said in a low voice, "This is just a method of transmission."

"Teleport?"

A trace of understanding appeared in Ember's blank eyes.

The campfire contains the power of the first fire, and the 'Wildfire' is a poor imitation of the campfire but also has a trace of the first fire.

Therefore, he can use the power of the first fire to move quickly between the bonfires——

The premise is that the bonfire has been lit by the power of the first fire.

But right now, with only one initial campfire, he obviously couldn't teleport.

If it can be quickly teleported to Backlund, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time.

Since the frustrated sister in front of me can talk and has no signs of turning into a living corpse, she should be trustworthy... right?

"Feel sorry."

Ember sincerely apologized to Sister Huixin, and at the same time stretched out her hand to signal her to continue.

In fact, he doesn't care whether the other party is malicious or not, the worst is death.

but.

He is undead.

Arianna hesitated for a moment, then still grabbed Ember's arm.

Afterwards, the figures of the two disappeared into the shadows out of thin air as if they were erased by something.

at the same time.

In the shadow of the prayer hall of St. Samuel's Church in Backlund, a male figure wearing a full set of dilapidated knight armor was quickly outlined.

"Arianna?"

Ember looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of him and the missing lady, and hesitantly called out.

"Your Majesty."

An old voice sounded beside Ember's ears, and Ember came back to his senses and found an old man with a beardless face, deep eyes, and wearing a black and red archbishop's robe, looking at him with a smile.

"The favored one? Me?"

Ember looked around and didn't find anyone else, so she couldn't help pointing at herself in a daze.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

There was a little respect and humility in the eyes of the old man, "Ms. Arianna has left, my name is Anthony Stevenson, and I am the archbishop of St. Samuel Church, and I will be responsible for guiding Your Excellency for the next task. "

"Why do you call me a favored one?"

Ember frowned slightly, and seemed slightly dissatisfied with the title.

The old man didn't reply, but cast his eyes on Ember's left hand.

Ember lowered her head subconsciously, raised her left arm and spread her palms.

Lying quietly in the palm is a badge, the whole body is crystal clear, as deep and bright as if cast from black gemstones.

When Ember looked at it, it was there.

But when he looked away, it seemed to disappear.

And in Ember's sight, he could see more things.

[Emblem of the Night

The badge bestowed by the Goddess of the Night.

The bearer gains a hidden blessing.

Legend has it that when the bearer shows the badge, the believers of the night will regard him as the favored one of the goddess. 】

"..."

Ember was silent for a long time, with memories and hesitation in his eyes, "Becklund, Loen Kingdom, Evernight Goddess, Arianna, St. Samuel's Church, Way, Anthony Stevenson..."

"Lord of Mysteries?"

Ember seemed to realize something, but his expression became more and more blank, "Didn't I come to spread the fire?"
