I, Hierophant Elden, join the chat group

Rely on the so-called strategy?

Sorry, his brain is not very good, and he can't think of such a high-sounding plan.

So, for him, it is better to take the initiative to contact those races, fight and compete, and gradually enrich himself, instead of squatting in the settlement all day long to think about how to face Artosh.

Even if he loses, he can find the opponent's weakness and break it.

".... I will go with you." After hesitating for a while, Rick slowly stood up and left the position, "But I suggest going to the old capital of the elves first. If you want to get information about the magic of the elves, I think you can get some of it there.

And it will be safer to do so."

"Seeking safety?"

Hearing Rick's proposal, Su Feng thought for a moment and agreed.

But——

"Forget about it, just stay in the settlement. As a leader, you should act like a leader and stay in the rear to see the overall situation. If something happens when you go out without permission, the settlement will probably collapse completely.

I can't bear this responsibility."

"It doesn't matter. I have a way to save my life."

Rick wanted to say this, but at this moment the door was pushed open.

Squeak——

I saw Kelong standing at the door, smiling and saying, "Mr. Su Feng, I'll take you there."

"Kelong?!" Rick looked at the girl who appeared at the door in surprise, and his brows furrowed immediately.

Rick knew Kelong would eavesdrop, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to break in this time and make such an outrageous request!

"Not allowed, you know..."

"I know." Kron interrupted Rick's next words with a smile, "But I also know that the settlement cannot be without you, my brother.

I know that Rick has taken on a lot of pressure, and as a sister, it's time for me to help my brother share some of the pressure, isn't it?

If you continue like this, and take on everything by yourself, you will be crushed sooner or later."

Hearing this, Rick inexplicably became silent, and his eyes were full of dead gray, without any emotion, like a deep pool, like a ghost.

"By then, someone will inherit me."

Hearing Rick's flat answer, Kroni still kept smiling, "But not now."

After speaking, Kroni turned around and looked at Su Feng.

"Mr. Su Feng, let me take you to the old capital of the forest elves." She said, "Now there is the help of Mr. Aha and Miss Kaguya in the settlement, and my role has been reflected very little. I think it's time for me as a sister to share some pressure for my brother."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Su Feng asked.

"I'm afraid."

Kroni was very honest and didn't say anything that was false and fearless, but she immediately winked and said with a bit of playfulness: "But... I don't think Mr. Su Feng would let me die outside casually, right?"

"Wow, what extraordinary courage... Rick, your sister is really good."

This was the second time Su Feng praised Kroni. He found that this girl would bring different surprises every time.

Every time it was like meeting for the first time and getting to know each other again.

If it weren't for this doomsday world, this courage and intelligence would definitely be enough to make Kroni a queen who would be remembered in history.

"I understand." Rick seemed to have made a decision, turned around and said to him solemnly: "If possible, please bring Kroni back alive."

The settlement can be without Rick, but it must not be without Kroni.

In fact, she is everyone's hope.

-------------------------------------

Kroni got the map from Rick and led him out of the settlement and set off for the old capital of the forest elves.

Driven by gravity magic, they were very fast. The journey that would have taken five days by horseback was shortened to three days.

But on the second day, a storm came.

The howling wind carried the black snow-like "spiritual skeleton" and raised dust.

Although the film of gravity magic blocked the "spiritual skeleton" and the wind and sand, the temperature could not be blocked.

During the war, there was no sunlight in Disbode, and the temperature at night was very low.

Even though Kroni was wrapped tightly in clothes, she was still shivering from the cold.

"Put this on."

Su Feng took out a travel robe from his backpack and threw it on Kroni, "This is my wife's clothes, don't dislike it, although it's a little worn, it should be warm."

"No, no, no, I don't dislike it."

Kroni blushed and waved her hands in panic, and quickly put on the robe.

Sure enough, with the barrier of the robe, the temperature was gradually rising and it was very warm.

But she was more curious about another thing——

"Mr. Su Feng, you actually have a wife?"

He looked so young, about the same age as Rick.

"Ah, of course, there is more than one." Su Feng smiled and said, "Are you curious?"

"A little... a little." Chloni nodded embarrassedly, "For someone as gentle as you, Mr. Su Feng, your wife should be very good, right?"

"Yes, they are indeed very good." Su Feng smiled.

It's just that, like him, an executioner with blood on his hands and who has killed countless people, sits on a throne made of accumulated bones.

Can a King of Elden like him really be called gentle?

Volume 1: Chapter 182 Wild Ex-Machina?

According to the goblin map, the old capital of the forest elves is located in the northeast of the settlement. It is said that it was once a very prosperous city.

But it is a pity that it has been destroyed now.

Rumor has it that in the past, it was destroyed by a single blow from a Flügel.

In fact, it is indeed the case, but it seems to have suffered some kind of devastating disaster——

The unique buildings woven by trees have long since collapsed and collapsed, and ugly scorch marks remain to this day. However, those ruins are covered with bright flowers and plants, like elegant courtyards, full of spring.

The sky outside was obviously dyed blood red due to the war, and the earth was poisoned by "spiritual corpses". In such a dead world, this ruined city is still protected by the blessings of the gods.

If Rick were here, he probably wouldn't be able to help but laugh loudly, right?

It is clear that they have turned this world into purgatory, but they still want to make their courtyard a paradise.

In comparison, Ke Long's reaction was relatively normal.

His bright eyes flickered, as if he was full of curiosity about the buildings and flowers and plants everywhere, but he was also very vigilant, as if he was caught in this weird choice and hesitation.

Su Feng, on the other hand, was walking in the courtyard of the garden and asking random questions.

"By the way, Cloni, you and Rick are not biological siblings, are you?"

"...Huh?" Kelong was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Su Feng would suddenly ask about this matter, but she still responded: "Well...Yes, I am only Rick's sister in name. No blood relationship..."

"In name... So you grew up in this settlement? And then inherited this settlement from your elders?"

"No." Kelon shook his head, clasped his hands on his chest as if praying, and said softly: "This settlement was actually established by Rick five years ago."

"Five years?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Ke Long nodded, his eyes flashing slightly with a hint of memory.

That was about five years ago...

Rick was picked up by Kelon's settlement. Since Kelon is older than Rick, she is regarded as his sister, but Rick, his younger brother, has never called her sister.

Rick also lived in the settlement for several months.

But the good times didn't last long.

As a result of the war between Flügel and dragonflight, the settlement of Keron was destroyed in the aftermath.

The adults in the settlement either died or collapsed due to despair. They arrived in the cave to take refuge in weeping and whimpering.

When people were lamenting, Rick was not sad. Instead, he stood up, looked into the cave, and said one sentence -

"The location here is very convenient. It can be used as the next settlement."

In front of people who had everything taken away just a few hours ago, it was natural to say "next".

As for Rick, he was besieged by the people of the settlement as he should be, and countless roars sounded one after another.

"So what!"

"To those guys, it's like we don't exist!"

Yes, very correct argument.

No race has ever cared about the life and death of human beings. In the eyes of those races, humans are equal to uncivilized beasts... No, they are ants that can be killed casually.

Does anyone care about crushing ants casually?

Do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?

However, Rick's reaction was still dull.

Facing the lamentations and roars in despair, Rick replied calmly without moving his eyebrows:

"That's right, we don't exist - not equal, but we want to 'do that'."

Then, Rick explained the method.

“We will become undead—undetectable because we do not exist.”

Those were black eyes that were deeper than the darkness of the cave, and the voice was as light and uncertain as a ghost, but the tone was very firm——

"Use all means, escape and hide, and survive - until one day someone will end this war."

Since nothing can be done, at least we must try to inherit the legacy of the fallen.

Since nothing can be done, at least work hard for the possibility of those who come up next.

"I swear to my will that if you want to follow me - then follow me."

Rick's voice was not loud, and was still a bit immature, but it could echo heavily in the cave.

Ke Long was the first to step up and follow.

With the first, there will be a second and a third.

They followed the undead figure of thirteen-year-old Rick.

They encountered catastrophe, lost their hometown, and lost hope, but Rick gave them -

——The reason for living and the meaning of death.

In this way, Rick led everyone for five years, from the first few dozen people to the current two thousand people in the settlement.

Only forty-seven men were killed during this period.

And those young shoulders always carry everyone's hope. Like a beacon in the darkness, Rick always plays the role of the flame of hope that maintains the mental health of two thousand people.

Even if Kelon couldn't empathize with her, she knew very well how heavy this burden was.

Rick dedicated everything he had into candlelight to guide everyone.

However, she didn't want to see Rick get burned, so today she stepped up and tried to help share some of it.

Take that step and walk out of the settlement.

"There is no heavy rain in the world that never stops, and there is no night that never breaks, so I believe that Rick will be the dawn that drives away the haze and darkness."

Looking at the blood-red sky, Ke Long's voice was firm and powerful.

Su Feng couldn't help laughing after hearing this, chewing on this sentence over and over again——

"Yes, there is no night without dawn, but the dawn will come later..."
