Chapter 525: Lord Baizhi and Two Fingers

Lord Gideon O'Fnir, one of the founders of the Round Table Hall, is also one of the oldest Faded Ones.

To this day, he is the only founder left in the Round Table Hall.

With a rustling sound, a pair of hands wrapped in thin armor separated the pile of books on the table, revealing the true face of the person behind.

The man was wearing a silver-gray armor with a cape, and the style of the helmet was somewhat similar to the Spartan Collins helmet, but from the sides of the helmet to the chin, it was covered with ear-shaped decorations. Those ear decorations were so lifelike that at first glance they might even look like real things.

Li You: Dark Moon lunatic is ecstatic...I got it wrong.

At the same time, there are countless eye-shaped patterns and ornaments on the armor, giving people the illusion that they are being watched.

Dotted with countless eyes and ears, this is the armor of Lord Gideon Ofnir, the "Hundred Wise", and it is also a reflection of his personal characteristics - the pursuit of "omniscience".

After Gideon greeted him, he looked at Li You from behind the desk. Two sharp glances shot out from the gaps in his exaggerated helmet, which made Li You startle slightly.

As expected of one of the oldest Faders, Li You rarely sees this kind of pressure in humans.

"'Lord Baizhi', I have heard of your great name for a long time." Li You also paused and responded, "Thank you for your invitation."

Gideon smiled in a low voice. "Nothing. After all, even if I didn't invite you, you would have found a way to get here. Besides, I am really curious about this strange hero that I have heard people mention repeatedly recently."

"Oh?" Li You raised his eyebrows. There was no trace of doubt in Gideon's tone. It seemed that he was very sure that he could find a way to reach the Round Table Hall.

"Don't be confused. My name is Gideon, Lord Hundred Wisdom. Although I admit that I am still far from knowing everything, I can still master these simple things."

Gideon saw Li You's intention, so he slowly explained: "The magician Roger, my daughter Nepheli Lu, and the new girl Roderica who has the talent for spirit tuning, these three people with different personalities all admire you very much. As the manager of this round table hall, I naturally have to understand your affairs."

"Moreover, you defeated the demigod 'Limb-Replacing' Greg as a hero and obtained his Great Rune. This is a feat worthy of being invited to the Hall of the Round Table. So everything is logical and natural."

Gideon paused for a moment before he officially spoke, "Well, the hero who quelled the rebellion in Morn City and defeated the limb-jointed demigod, I, Gideon Ovnir, welcome you and your companions on behalf of the Hall of the Round Table."

"If you also have the goal of meeting the Elden Circle, then even if you are not a Faded One, you are still our comrade, and the Round Table Hall will always be open to you."

Gideon raised his hand and said, "You have already obtained a Great Rune, so you can also go to the room at the deepest part of the Round Table Hall, where the two fingers are, to listen to the teachings of the finger-unlocking. At the same time, other areas of the Round Table Hall will also be open to you. Feel free to rest and prepare yourself here, comrade."

"By the way, let me remind you one last time. There are sacred rules in the Round Table Hall. You cannot start a war here. Please do not break them."

"As long as others don't take action first." Li You saw that Gideon had no intention of saying more to him, so he didn't stay. After thanking him, he walked out of Gideon's study.

Outside the room, Edge and V have recovered, and Roger is still here, introducing the round table hall to the three of them.

Seeing Li You coming out, he also looked over and asked: "Are you done talking?"

"Sir Baizhi had a brief chat with me." Li You looked at the Double Fingers room on the side, "He suggested that I go meet Double Fingers."

Roger was somewhat helpless: "That's right, after all, you are the holder of the Great Rune. Well, I have to go out, so I won't take you to visit the Round Table Hall this time. We'll talk next time."

Li You nodded: "Have a nice trip."

Roger didn't say anything more. After greeting Li You and the others, he left the round table hall through the Great Blessing Teleport. Li You asked his companions to wait here for a while, and he pushed open the door of the Double Finger Room.

In the room at the end of the red carpeted stairs is where the two fingers are.

The so-called two fingers are actually true gods, messengers of the "Supreme Will" that are close to the Creator. They will communicate with the Supreme Will and convey its will - at least that's what everyone in the border area believes.

However, the language of the two fingers is not understandable to ordinary people, so there are "finger interpreters" who are responsible for interpreting the language of the two fingers and relaying it to others.

This room is where the two fingers of the Round Table Hall and the one who untied them, Enya, are.

As soon as you enter the door, the first thing that immediately occupies almost all of your vision is the two-fingered original finger.

It is indeed a "fingers", because the two fingers are just as the name suggests, two huge fingers standing upright on the ground, connected at the lower half. Their surface is old and black, covered with irregularly grown hair and dead skin.

The two fingers on its upper half are slightly bent forward, and its entire body rises and falls gently like breathing, shedding some old hair and dandruff.

This is "two fingers".

Sitting on a high stool on the left hand side was a skinny old woman, who was almost skin and bones. She was probably unable to move, except for her head which looked particularly big.

She looked towards Li You and said quietly, "...You are the hero who was invited here? Thank you for your hard work. I am Enya, the "Jie Zhi"."

She waved her hand, motioning Li You to come to her, and then continued: "Master Finger is the messenger of the Supreme Will, and I am the old woman who conveys what the master said. Look carefully, Master Finger is trembling - this means that He welcomes you, the holder of the Great Rune." "... Come, listen carefully to what Master Finger says: 'The great Elden Ring is the golden law - it keeps the world in order and brings happiness and blessings to life. However, the Elden Ring has been broken..."

As she spoke, the two fingers beside her did move slowly, and the positions of the two fingers changed.

However, Li You was already very familiar with this conversation, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

In simple terms, what Granny Enya said means this: The Elden Ring is broken, bringing disorder to the borderland. Now what the Faded Ones (and heroes) have to do is to meet the Elden Ring, repair it, and restore order to the borderland.

To see the Ring, one needs the Great Rune, the Great Rune held by the demigods.

According to Enya, the existing demigods were abandoned by the Supreme Will a long time ago, so there is no need to hesitate, just kill them and snatch the Great Rune.

Li You listened quietly and complained in his heart: It’s so easy for you to say that!
Those are demigods, not to mention the Faded Ones, the protagonists of the Chosen Ones. Don’t you think that hunting them is too demanding for ordinary Faded Ones?
Take Roderica for example. She is also a fader. You want her to kill a demigod? Even if you put ten Roderica together, they are still not enough to defeat a demigod.

But even in difficult circumstances, the guidance of the blessing still led the faded ones to find the demigods. It was no wonder that many faded ones who escaped the disaster either gave up and turned to other places, or simply rebelled in anger. There were really few model faded ones who would persist in finding the demigods and meet the Elden Ring.

So Li You just listened to Enya's words quietly and prepared to say goodbye and leave. He came here just to go through the procedures.

But Enya called him back: "Wait!"

Seeing Li You turn around, she exhaled: "Old woman, I haven't finished what I want to say! You are the host of golden memories!"

Li You was stunned: "Oh?"

Golden Memories is actually a substitute for the BOSS-level twisted soul in Dark Soul, which can be exchanged for special items.

Li You certainly knew about this thing, but he did not get it when he defeated Greg. He thought he could not get it because he was not a Faded One.

What does “boarding” mean?
Enya slowly explained: "...demigods and great heroes, after their bodies disappear, will be carved by the golden tree and become memories."

“If it was originally a faded one, it would have combined with their power and turned into something tangible.

"But you are not a Faded One, so the memories of the demigod Greg who was defeated by you have changed into another form and reside in your body... Come here, old woman, I can draw out that power."

To be honest, after hearing her last sentence, Li You really didn't want to go over.

What do you mean by drawing out the power? Are you trying to imitate Yuel and make a hole in my body?

Fortunately, Enya just pointed her cane at Li You, and strands of golden light seeped out from him, and finally condensed into a light and shadow in front of him. It could be vaguely seen that it was Greg's appearance.

"This is the Golden Remembrance... The Remembrance will preserve the power of the Lord of Remembrance. If you wish to obtain that power, Master Finger can help you."

Enya waved her hand for the last time, and the memory fell back into Li You's hands. The touch was somewhat similar to that of the Big Rune.

"From now on, if you defeat a strong enough enemy, you can come to me, an old woman, and I will help you draw out their memories... If you want to turn memories into power, you can also come to me."

This was truly valuable help, so Li You said sincerely, "Thank you very much!"

"That's fine. Go ahead. Don't forget Master Finger's words. Go and see the Elden Ring."

After leaving the two-finger room, Li You finally called his companions and came to the corridor area on the right side of the Great Blessing.

At the stairs down the corridor, there was an ugly, old hybrid chained in chains, forging a long sword by turning the hammer over and over in front of an anvil.

When Li You came over here, he just glanced sideways, lowered his head without saying a word, and continued to forge iron.

Diagonally opposite him, there was a stall on the ground where a girl with short blond hair was sitting, fiddling with some strange little props.

This is naturally Roderica.

Seeing Li You appear, she also stood up and smiled: "It's you all! You have also come to the round table hall!"

Roderica had taken off her red hood and cape, and now she looked much more energetic than before. Aggie looked at her and smiled, "It seems that you have found what you should do now."

Roderica nodded vigorously, shook hands with Aggie, and then looked at Li You: "It's all thanks to you all! Ah, if you don't mind, let me introduce you to them?"

This time Li You did not refuse, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."
