Give Hope to a Dying World

"Goodbye, Mr. Ember. May the flame guide you." The fireproof woman said goodbye silently, bowed slightly and saluted, seeing that Ember didn't respond, she returned to the extinguished bonfire and waited again.

Instead of following Ember to wander around, Miao Qi walked up to the Fireproof Girl and asked curiously.

"Will it still be on? Why do you keep it when it's out?"

"Who knows?" The fireproof woman smiled softly, but if you observe carefully, you will find a trace of sadness in that smile.

"Maybe this is the meaning of my existence, just like Master Ember has his own mission, and I am no exception."

"Really?" Mo Qi, who was not concentrating, didn't notice the abnormality of the fire prevention girl, and observed the surrounding situation with erratic eyes.

Although she is blind in both eyes, the Fireproof Girl is well aware of the situation around her, and she even senses Mo Qi's movements.With a sweet smile, the Fireproof Girl didn't know how long she hadn't seen such a pure person, just like a human child who was not polluted by the abyss (as far as time is concerned, this is true for the virtual consciousness of the prayer form).

Turning her head to Qi Qi, the fire-proof girl said softly: "You seem to have a lot of curious things. There is a salary king on the throne over there, and he should be able to answer you."

"Thank you very much. I'll come back and try to heal you later." Miao Qi glanced at the fire-proof woman who gave her instructions. Compared with her beauty, Miao Qi cared more about the other party's visual problems. She decided to ask some questions Just come over and sing to this fireproof girl who let me get close, see if it can help her.

Of course, these words of Qiqi were like nonsense in the heart of the Fireproof Girl, and she didn't feel that she was hurt.

"What is it?" The fireproof woman looked at Qiqi who ran away with some dumbfounding, and continued to pay attention to the bonfire she guarded, as if the flame in the bonfire had never been extinguished.

Following the direction indicated by the Fireproof Girl, Mo Qi quickly found the thin King Xin sitting on the throne. Looking at this man called King Xin, she couldn't help but doubt her eyes.

The person sitting on the throne was thinner than himself, and his whole body was like a mummy. Only a few pieces of shabby cloth were used to wrap this poor body that made people tremble, and the crown on his head made people worry about it. Whether the weight will be too heavy for the elderly to bear.

That is a poor person, a king who should have slept forever but was forcibly awakened and turned into a king again.

"Oh? A person who has never appeared before. I am Ludos the exile. You may not believe it, but I am the salary king who once passed on fire."

Just when Qi Qi was still thinking about how to talk to the salary king who seemed to be dying, who knew that Ludos, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly opened his eyes and said such a self-introduction.

"Although I am very curious about what kind of exotic weapons your unique soul can forge, but that is not something that I can do now... Let's talk about it later."

Under the throne, Mo Qi looked bewildered.

Use my soul to forge weapons?

what does that mean?

Unable to figure it out, Mo Qi climbed up the high platform and walked to the edge of Ludos's throne, but he forgot about this question after he came up, and looked at Ludos's emaciated body and said, "It's so small, don't you think it's too small?" Like a salary king."

Ludos, who was originally calm and calm, suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at his body, "I am really the salary king, and this body that is still suffering from a slight fire is an ironclad proof. This broken body, approaching Take a look, you should be able to see clearly, right?"

"so poor."

Mo Qi looked at Ludos who was trying to prove that he was the salary king, and there was a look of sympathy in his eyes.They are so emaciated that they still have to be burned. Is this the so-called salary king?Why does it feel so...sad.

Looking at the empty thrones around him, Mo Qi had some doubts, "Where is the king? Why are you here alone?"

Rudos heard the question of Mo Qi, and slowly explained it to Mo Qi.

"Do you understand the meaning of mission?"

"Understood!" Of course I understand, as a man who has to save the world once a week, he is really not shy when it comes to the mission.

"Don't interrupt me!" Ludos choked, then looked at Miqi with a resentful expression, and continued after she covered her mouth.

"There are five salary kings on the five thrones, and this is all for spreading the fire. Now the fire is finally going out. In order to pass on the fleeting fire, to continue the world again, and to reproduce the ancient fire... ..I became the Salary King."

"My dwarf is bathing in the glory of being king, while the remaining kings have abandoned the throne and escaped the fate of spreading fire. They will eventually be recovered by the king, either their people or their firewood salary."

After Ludos finished speaking, he raised his head slightly, waiting for the girl's applauding applause and respectful eyes.

But this is obviously impossible. When the other party was talking, Qi Qi's eyes had already moved to his legs.Looking at the pair of broken legs, the brain involuntarily diverged.

If what I think is not wrong, then the so-called "Xinwang Chuanhuo" means that the person who becomes the "Xianwang" turns into firewood and puts it into the so-called original fire as the nourishment for the flame to burn.This is equivalent to asking these people who are salary kings to be burned alive. It is not a good thing to think about it, and they will not do it themselves.

The other four salary kings probably knew how miserable it would be if they stayed to spread the fire, so they ran away early (heavy fog), while Ludos was unable to run because of congenital disabilities, so he ran away early if he had legs.

It is also possible that because of his small stature, he ran slowly, and was caught up by the fire-proof sister, who broke his legs and threw him back on the throne.

It is also possible that he had already run away, but was caught back because of his weak strength. In order to prevent him from escaping again, he broke his leg and carried him back.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. As for why he wanted to spread the fire so much, the reason was that he couldn't run without his legs, and he wanted someone to catch those guys who ran away without him and burn them together.

"Your eyes are weird, I feel like you're thinking something very rude."

Rudos waited for a long time but did not get a response, only to find that Miki was looking at him strangely, and said with some dissatisfaction.

Miao Qi raised his head slowly, and turned his eyes from the pair of broken legs back to Ludos's face, his crimson eyes were shining with gossip.

"Ludos, are you unable to escape because you don't have legs?" Mo Qi carefully guarded the people around him, and asked in a low voice as he approached Bruce.

Rudos, a great king who has been tortured by spreading fire and still persists in his faith after being awakened, is willing to spread fire for the world again.Today, when an ignorant girl asked, I felt the deep malice from others for the first time.His leg was burned by the flames in the previous fire transmission, but now he is being questioned because of this, which makes him a little angry.

Seeing Miki who had sensed something was wrong and avoided it, Rudos looked at his legs sadly, and gave up the idea of ​​chasing after the girl to give the girl a club.

Suppressing his anger, Rudos showed the acting skills that an old man should have, with a kind smile on his face, looked at Qiqi with kind eyes, and said gently: "See you are not undead, in this place full of flames It's easy to get burned. Come here, I'll give you a status."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Don't look at me like this, I still have a high attainment in miracles. As long as you are in one state, ordinary flames can't hurt you."

"Don't." Looking at the kind old man in the distance, Mo Qi had a premonition that if he went there at this time, he would definitely be knocked out of his mind by him with a stick.

Chapter 102 Chapter [-] The High Wall of Lothric

Seeing that Miao Qi had no intention of coming over at all, Rudos was a little distressed but helpless. After Ember came to look for him, he went down the slope and let the protagonist die.

Since Ludos was willing to let him go, Mo Qi obviously wouldn't go back to find trouble, obediently came behind the fire prevention girl, and gently held her face with both hands.

"saitanonohanayo (oh wild flowers in bloom)

aadoukaoshieteokure (please tell me)

hitowanazekizutsukeattearasounodeshou (Why do people hurt each other and fight each other)

rintosakuhanayo (flowers that bloom quietly)

sokokarananigamieru (what can you see there?)

hitowanazeyurushiaukotodekinainodeshou (Why can't people forgive each other)"

A song "Oterpe" that was popular in the past was sung by Prayer, and the beautiful Roman accent was echoed in the fire-passing sacrificial field. Under the influence of Prayer's special ability, everyone could understand this song Song.The lyrics with a touch of sadness and indescribable poignancy echoed in the sacrificial field, and everyone immediately became quiet, stopped the ongoing conversation, and listened carefully to the singing.

This is the song that I have found to be the most suitable for my own ability, and it can exert a very good healing effect.After the healing effect of the singing began to take effect, because everyone in the sacrificial field was returned to the friendly army by Qi Qi, they all found that their bodies began to glow, as if returning to the warmth and comfort of a campfire.

The song ended soon, and Mo Qi withdrew his hand a little tiredly, and looked at the fire-proof girl in front of him, showing an expectant expression.

"Does it have an effect on your vision?" After finishing speaking, Qi Qi wanted to take off the crown that blocked the eyes of the fire-proof girl.

"Wait a minute!" The fire-proof girl quickly pressed down on the crown.

"Thank you for your singing, but it doesn't lift the curse."

The fire-proof girl took away Miaoqi's hand, and shook her head gently. This behavior made Miaoqi a little disappointed. She ignored the surprised eyes of the old fire-proof girl and the blacksmith and others, and walked to the fire-spreading sacrificial field without a word. corner.

Sitting on the ground in frustration, Mo Qi tilted his head against the wall, and his whole body went limp, looking extremely frustrated.The man with the big sword on his back looked at Miqi's movements in amazement, and imitated Miqi's posture and sat next to her, with a dejected air coming out.

Ember in the distance looked strangely at the two lost men who were nearly grayed out in the corner. He felt familiar with that lost man, but the other party's remarks made him confirm that the other party would definitely not be own friend.After inquiring about Rudos, Ember came to the Fireproof Woman and asked him how to complete the mission.

"My lord Ember, show the spiral sword like a campfire, that sword is the witness of the ashes, and it will guide you to the land of kings - Lothric, the home of kings and the land of wanderers. May the flame guide you. "

After listening to the fire-proof woman, Ember didn't ask any more questions, and directly inserted the spiral sword obtained from Gudana into the extinguished campfire.As the spiral sword pierced, a strange flame lit up from the extinguished campfire, clinging to the spiral sword.

The flame that ignited on the sword was the embers of the salary kings of all ages. Under Ember's complicated gaze, the flame danced in the brazier full of ashes.

Feeling the warm flames in front of him, Ember relaxed with a feeling of returning to his hometown, and sat directly beside the campfire and lowered his head.Ember looked at the body illuminated by the fire and thought about his identity for a while. Maybe he was some sort of great hero before he was alive. Otherwise, why would he have such a superb fighting instinct and be able to use various weapons and equipment so proficiently? Even if it's just a stick.

He suspected that he was a member of the Falan Undead Team, but the Falan Undead Team has collectively become the Salary King. He is just a fireless person who was awakened by the sound of the bell. Farlan undead on par.But if he is not a member of the undead team, then who is he?Looking at the flames in front of him, the nameless embers fell into confusion.

As for Ember's behavior, Qi Qi was not interested in knowing, what she was thinking about now was how to return from this world.The object of the task is dead, it is impossible to complete the task, and the abandonment of the task is estimated to be stuck in the task penalty.If you can't find a way to return later, you can only wait for the system to work again and find tasks in other worlds.

Suddenly, Qi Qi felt that the world in front of her was blurred, and when it became clear again, she had been teleported to a strange place, a room in an unknown castle.And not far in front of him, only the ember with the fast cloth hanging on his waist was standing there.

Ember opened her eyes, and quickly took out her mighty and majestic big stick. His intuition told her that something was lurking behind him.

The thing behind him was approaching, this feeling was so familiar, his originally numb soul fluctuated a little at this moment, some vague figures and memories of fighting monsters were recalled.As the battle memory was recalled, he made countermeasures against the enemy in this situation according to his memory.

He made a forward pounce and rolled, and then turned around and raised the wooden stick. Although reason told him that what he should do at this time was to put up a shield and be careful, but the nameless sense of glory in his heart made him refuse to use the shield.

"Coincidentally, we meet again."

It was Yu Qi who came from behind. She saw Ember with poss in front of her at a glance, and wanted to go over to say hello, but she watched Ember roll forward with a blank face, and then looked at it with a wary face. looking at her.

"Who the hell are you? Why can you follow me here?"

"I don't know... I followed in a blink of an eye." She herself didn't know how she followed. Could it be that the contract mistakenly locked the other party as the task target because the other party killed Gu Da... This is not right Ah, I've sung myself before, but the task is still not completed, it's so strange.

Seeing that Miaoqi started to wander into the sky again, Ember was too lazy to care about this guy, turned around and pushed open the gate to enter the high wall of Lothric.It used to be a prosperous place, but now it has also declined, leaving only those magnificent buildings telling its past.

He quickly discovered the bonfire here. Since he decided to explore here, he had to move the resurrection point here.As soon as Ember grasped the sword inserted into the ashes of the undead, as the flames on it suddenly intensified, Ember knew that his resurrection point had been transferred to this bonfire.

Undead does not mean that he cannot be killed, but that he can be resurrected again and again after death, and the place where they are resurrected is to give them a warm bonfire.

The presence of a bonfire is so important.

At least, that's the case for the undead.

Generally speaking, the bonfire is their most powerful weapon. It can not only repair injuries and replenish element bottles next to it, but also give them a chance to come back after accidental death.

"This fire is so small."

The expression on Ember's face slowly froze, and she stared blankly at Li Qi, who was squatting by the campfire and observing the flames.The embers couldn't deny the other party's words. Compared with the exuberant flames in the Fire Passing Sacrificial Ground, the bonfire here was so weak. If you stood a little farther away, you would think it was extinguished because you couldn't see the flame.

"What are you doing here? Your outfit is not suitable for adventure. And for you who are not undead, exploring Lothric is too dangerous."

Looking at Ember's rough appearance, she didn't hide her concern at all, which made Mo Qi couldn't help but smile.

adventure?

Sounds like a good look.

The bathrobe and slippers in the bath center are really not suitable for adventure, but this can't curb my curiosity about adventure.

"I have always changed the topic without talking about my identity. This time, please let me introduce myself."

"You can call me Qiqi now, a person who came to this world by accident and is looking for a way to return to his own world. If it comes to adventure, I can still provide some assistance. Please feel free to leave it to me when it comes to shooting and healing. me."

Finally willing to say who she is, Ember looked at Qi Qi with some surprise.Since the other party is willing to accompany him on the adventure, there is no reason for him to refuse. After all, the girl's healing effect has just been experienced at the Chuanhuo Sacrificial Field, and the shooting ability is not a joke.

Although the girl doesn't have much equipment now, and she only has a wooden stick, these are problems that can be solved, and she will definitely get long-range weapons and protective equipment in future battles.

At the same time, one of the contents of the girl's self-introduction caught Ember's attention, 'return to her own world'... It seems that she can help with this purpose.Ember looked at the item in the backpack, hesitated for a while, and then gave up bringing this matter up with Qi Qi.
