Roland nodded slightly: "I have this plan." The amount of ether required to summon Melina was 10000 points, and Roland was not surprised. Melina's life experience has always been controversial, but the 10000 points may be related to her personal strength as an assistant in the BOSS battle with "Blessing King" Mengt. "Blessing King" Menggert defended the city alone during the second defense of Rodel, repelling and even killing all the is no doubt about his strength. Although the game intensity is not high, in terms of plot, Melina's strength, which can appear as a helper, will naturally not hold back the faded ones. By the way, there are two system NPCs that can be summoned at the entrance of Menggert to assist in the battle. The other one is the notorious "Scoop Eater" (provided that you go to the underground prison to liberate him and do not go to the side entrance of the royal city to invade). [Summon "Fire Walker" Melina? 】 "Yes" After making this decision, even the Golden Tree cheered with joy in Roland's heart, lighting up the city of Moren at night as brightly as day. The ether gathered into the figure of a petite and graceful girl. She was still wearing the familiar heavy cloak. "Hmm... um, eh?" A very cute voice came out of her mouth, and Melina, who had just been summoned, looked a little calmly observed the situation in front of her with her unsealed golden eye. She discovered Roland in front of her, and then she curved the corners of her mouth into a nice arc.
"It seems that you have really succeeded, my king, Lord Roland." Melina's voice rarely revealed a joy, and she said softly: "Although this city is Moren City on the Weeping Peninsula, there is a huge sky above your head. The night sky and the scenery outside the city tell me that this is not a junction, right?" Roland looked confused, he couldn't understand Melina's words. "Oh - you seem to have some memory problems." Melina saw Roland's confused eyes, carefully observed Roland, and soon discovered his physical condition. She showed the concern of a friend on her brows and said: "Your body seems to be somewhat disconnected from your soul. Although your body is still very young, your soul is already covered with scars." Roland understood this sentence. He nodded and said, "For some reason, I was able to resurrect after an unnatural death, but now my memory is almost restored." Then he hesitated for a moment before asking the girl in front of him: "Why do you say 'I really succeeded'? I have no impression of it." Melina showed a "Sure enough" expression. She did not rush to answer Roland's words, but looked up and looked around. Although Moen City was summoned, the ruins of Duogu City are still in Moen City, and the extinguishing embers and thick smoke are still emitting from everywhere. Lucia and Lamia, who had just returned, as well as Irelia and the French Holy Empire soldiers beside them, were looking at Roland in disbelief as if they were looking at gods. "This is not a suitable place for conversation, Lord Roland." Melina looked away and said to Roland. Roland also noticed the more than 500 French Holy Empire soldiers who were still stunned in place, and frowned. "You haven't arranged to remove these soldiers, do you want to be killed as Yakir's prey like the soldiers of the Charles Empire?" Roland asked Lucia in a bad tone. Lucia returned to her senses. Facing Roland who had shown such a miracle, her tone finally no longer contained the arrogance inherent in the aristocratic nature. She replied in a panic: "No, we were just killed by what you just did, Lord Roland." This thing shocked my mind. I will arrange for them to deliver their armor and weapons to your soldiers." Roland nodded slightly and asked White and Fazhuang, two powerful homeless knights, to keep an eye on these surrendered soldiers. If they found anything inappropriate, they could be executed directly without notifying Roland. "Yakir, come here too. I also have some questions I want to ask you." Roland reached out to greet Yakir, who had curled up his huge body and was about to take a nap. The latter was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes and stood up, causing a stir. Quite a movement. Yaqir's actions made Roland even more convinced that the dragon and Melina must know something that he didn't know. "Aqir, the Dragon of Flame. It is indeed you, who was also summoned by Master Roland." Melina looked at the black flying dragon and nodded again to confirm. Roland took Melina, followed not far away by the escort Ikosela, to a battlement in Morn City. There was no one else here, and Akil could hear the conversation between the two even when he straightened his body.
"Just right here." Roland casually sat on a wooden bench on the battlement and motioned for Melina to sit down as was directly guarding the entrance to the stairs to prevent anyone from entering here by mistake. Melina sat directly on the other side of the bench generously, sitting in a well-behaved manner and looking at Roland with soft eyes. Roland was stunned for a moment. He thought Melina would sit on the bench next to him. "Ahem." He coughed lightly to hide his surprise, and first asked Yaqir, who was in a daze: "Yaqir, why do you call me 'Lord of the Elden Ring'? I don't have any As long as the ring of law exists, there is no law.” When Akir heard Roland's words, his huge dragon eyes showed looked at Roland carefully and confirmed again and again. In Yakir's memory, the man in front of him killed him again and again, from barely defeating him at the beginning to killing him without even looking at him. It subconsciously shrank its head, as if the pain caused by Roland still remained on it. Akil was afraid of causing Roland's dissatisfaction, so he answered cautiously: "But Lord Roland, the Elden Ring does exist in your body. I will not admit it." After hearing this, Roland frowned and asked the system in his mind: "System, what's going on? Why do I have the Elden Ring on my body?" [Don’t ask me, I don’t know either. ] The system replied: [I know all the things that happened after you were sent to this world that were so stupid that they made me laugh, but I don’t know anything about anything before you were reborn in this master who made me also left no previous information about you in my program. 】 "I think I can answer part of this question for Yakir." Melina spoke at this time, and her gentle words brought Roland back to reality. "First of all, my king, my beloved Lord Roland." Melina raised her hand to caress her right chest and said softly: "The Ring of Elden is undoubtedly on your body. Please don't doubt Aqil's words." "Secondly, it's the agreement you made with me. Let me think about how to talk about it, um...yes." Melina nodded and continued: "Do you still remember the time when I threw myself into the giant's snow and went into the furnace? " Roland nodded slightly: "Of course I remember this. I wouldn't be able to enter the Golden Tree without you." Roland did not get Michaela's golden needle in that week's episode, and he felt that the ending of the epilepsy was too serious and he didn't like it. Otherwise, Roland would definitely have gone epileptic and saved Melina. "Since you still remember this, it will be much easier for me to explain the next thing." Melina began to narrate in an elegant tone: "After I threw myself into the furnace of flames, my consciousness fell into darkness. When I came back God came and appeared again in the place where you first got together, and where we first met: the Study Abroad Cave." "When I thought this was a dream, Lord Roland suddenly got up and told me excitedly that you had become the King of Elden and wanted to find other ways to enter the Golden Tree without sacrificing me. In the body. Although I don’t know what method you used to return to the time when we wanted to meet, but I just regarded it as your ravings, and everything before was regarded as my dream." "However, I soon discovered that the previous experience was not a dream. You were very skilled in fighting at the border, helping everyone you met and there were sane people. And they all seemed to know you like me, and you also Very familiar with them.” "But this time we didn't find a way to enter the golden tree that rejects everything, as you said, without sacrificing me." Melina's voice now trembled: "As a result, you began to change Don't be rational. Although I begged you many times not to look for the epileptic fire, you were still given the epileptic fire underground in King Rodel City." "I can only watch helplessly as you fall into chaos step by step. Your consciousness and body are invaded by the God of Madness. When you obtain the Ring of Elden, the entire border falls into the chaos of Madness." Roland blinked. He clearly remembered that he didn't have a maddening ending when he played the game. "And I also swear that even if I chase you to the end of the world, I will sacrifice my destined death for you to become the King of Epilepsy." Melina's beautiful face showed a trace of unbearable. "Then at this moment, everything in the world seemed to be turned backwards by someone's hand. Then I appeared in the study abroad cave again, and you were sitting on the ground with a dejected look." Melina recalled. In the memory of Roland's appearance, it was the first time she saw this man who didn't show a slumped expression even though he was blessed with epilepsy, actually showing that expression. "I can vaguely understand what happened to you. I was just about to speak to you. You raised your hand to stop me and said the words that should have been said by me." Melina frowned and looked at He looked at Roland with an unhappy look in his seemed to think of the person who made her unhappy: "Then you just said to yourself: Don't ask me to be the King of Elden. Being the King of Elden is the most useless thing. The Golden Dynasty has long been gone." Saved. I’d better go find Lani’s wife Tie Tie and let’s explore the stars together.” Melina paused, looked at Roland who looked embarrassed, and said word for word: "These are the exact words you said, Lord Roland. I have not changed them at all." Roland: "..." Chapter 61: Melina, are you enlightened? "Really? Actually, I have no memory of what you said." Facing Melina's gaze, Roland scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
Melina shook her head slightly and said, "I can also guess that Mr. Roland, you have lost this part of your memory. After all, your current personality is somewhat different from when I met you before." Roland scratched his head again and asked, "What kind of personality did I have before?" Melina seemed to have wanted to do this for a long time, and she spoke quickly: "Arrogant, arrogant, and reckless. She thinks she can handle everything and doesn't listen to other people's suggestions at all." When she said this, she paused: "Of course, you can still listen to my suggestions occasionally." Roland looked embarrassed and said, "Let's continue what you said after that." "After that? That time you chose Lani as your partner of the God of Elden. I threw myself into the giant flame cauldron early in order to unlock the seal of the golden tree. I have nothing to do with you and the 'Princess of the Moon' Lani. I’m not interested in finding out.” "Of course, this time it's still exactly the same as before. It's as if nothing has changed. The border area has returned to the way it was when I met you. Then you went to help the dead prince and the dead man." "Then you stood there blankly with an expression as if you had failed. This went on for a total of 7 times, and you finally gave up on becoming the King of Elden. What did you say? Anyway, if I don't push the plot, the world will not be restored. He took me and Thoret to wander around the border area." "But it wasn't until the moon in the towering sky above Lienia collapsed that you fell into madness. Did you ride Toret directly into Lienia from the path of Stonewell City, and arrived at the ruins? The Castle of Kallia, burning with the blazing black god-killing flames, stood for a day and a night. Then you embarked on the road to become the King of Elden again. There was no smile on your face anymore, and you repeated it again and again for what seemed like forever. Endless reincarnation." At this point, Melina showed a distressed expression. She stretched out her hand and gently caressed Roland's cheek, then took it back. "Until one day, you were in a daze on the Divine Grant Tower in Nimgefu and suddenly showed a surprised expression. You seemed to be talking to someone, but I couldn't hear the other person's voice. I could only hear You said what you said, and then nodded and agreed to that being's request or deal. Then you showed a relieved expression and said to me excitedly: 'I have a way to solve this damn reincarnation in the junction!'" "At that time, you were like a child who got a beloved toy. You rode Torret to all the ground in the border area and told every demigod about the news. You first went to see 'Extended Limb' Greg, who just I begged you to take him and his army back to the hometown of Rodel, which you cherished so much. You readily agreed, and the army of King Greg of Stonewell City followed you from a trail into the Yatan Plateau and arrived at the main entrance of the royal city of Rodel. You immediately left them after that.” "Then you came to Kaliya Castle and told Lani the news. She smiled and said that we would just follow your ideas." "Of course, you didn't talk to General Latan who lost his mind. You just told his guest general Jielian that there was a way to bring General Latan back to his sanity." "After that, you went to the Gmir Volcano and faced Racade who was swallowed by the big snake. Faced with him who only knew how to devour, you finally chose to kill Racade." "Then you went to see the 'King of Bad Omen' Menggert and explained your purpose to him. He sent you out of the royal city with doubts." "After that, you went to the Holy Tree where Marlenia was, captured her alive and told her that you were going to take her to meet her brother Michaela. Then you came to the Blood Dynasty through teleportation and saw Marlenia. When Meng came to the door, he had a really funny look on his face." "Then you didn't care about them anymore, but took Toret and me back to Nimgofu. There you told me that you were going to a distant place to let the new golden tree sprout there. At that time, the creatures in the border area will be called to that world one by one from this reincarnation." "Then, you slowly disappeared from my eyes. I have been waiting for you at the place where you disappeared, knowing that you summoned me to this world not long ago." Melina let out a long sigh of relief and said so many words in succession. Even she was a little thirsty. Roland listened to Melina's words carefully and frowned in thought. Roland really had no impression of any of the things she said. The last trip sounded more like a fan story written by an author at will. But there was one thing Melina said that he noticed, and that was "talking to an invisible being." Roland vaguely remembered that before he traveled to this world, he made a deal with a certain higher-dimensional being during the journey. Then this is where the blind spot lies. Roland immediately asked in his mind: "System, do you know what deal I made with the person who created you?" [Don’t ask me if you don’t know. When this system was created, it has already entered this world with your body. 】The system answered the question without knowing anything. "That's unbelievable. Why would that high-dimensional being decide that I chose "Elden's Ring" as the basis for summoning the corps? If I had chosen other options, wouldn't it be a mess?" Roland said to himself doubtfully. Said to himself. 【······】The system suddenly fell silent with a guilty conscience.
Roland suddenly thought of the scene when he chose which game as the basic summon. He suddenly understood and grabbed the system and said: "I remember correctly that you were the one who put the game "Elden Ring" in front of me, right? You Do you dare to say that you don’t know what agreement I made with your maker?” 【Don’t slander me!That's because you asked me if I had any recommended games, and I just put it in front of you and didn't force you to choose it. 】 "Lord Roland?" Melina's words brought Roland back from the quarrel with the system. Roland said sheepishly: "I was just thinking about what you said, and I was in a daze. Where are you talking about now?" Melina tilted her head cutely and said: "Well... although your expression just now seemed like you were talking to someone, I still believe in you, Lord Roland. I have almost said everything about you at the border. Now, it’s your turn to tell me about what you have experienced in this world.” Roland touched his chin and said in deep thought: "Is it about this world? In fact, it can be summarized very simply. I once had a good memory, but I no longer remember it after being betrayed by the person I trusted most. It's just that I just discovered that before The person who betrayed me is not dead yet, and my current idea is to strengthen myself to fulfill my dream and punish the person who betrayed me." "Is there only that much?" Melina asked curiously. Roland nodded: "That's all. I really don't have any interesting experiences to tell you. I'm sorry." Melina also nodded, and she said softly: "Although Lord Roland, you said it more easily, I think it must be very uncomfortable to be betrayed, right?" Roland replied: "It's okay, I'm not as angry as I was at the beginning. Now I probably just feel that the other person is pathetic and pitiful." Melina shook her head and denied Roland's words: "No, there is no need to pretend to be indifferent. I can understand the feeling of being betrayed by the person you trust most. After all..." At this point, Melina raised her beautiful golden eyes He opened his eyes, a trace of ripples flashed in his calm eyes, and continued: "After all, when Lord Roland was given the epileptic fire and betrayed me, the pain and sadness I felt was so heavy. Even now, that memory is still there It cannot be dissipated from my soul.” Roland first smiled bitterly, and then said in a sincere tone: "Although I can't recall the memory you mentioned, I definitely hurt you as you said. I'm very sorry for this, Melina, " "When comforting others, should we hug each other to comfort others?" Melina looked at Roland with a thoughtful expression. Then she took the initiative to hug Roland and whispered in Roland's ear: "It doesn't matter. The person who betrayed you will eventually know what she has lost. I am also willing to swear to you that I will find the person who betrayed you and bring her to you." to be judged before.” Roland was caught off guard by Melina, and the words she blew made his ears itch. "Hmm...huh? That's almost good, right?" Melina asked herself in a cute tone and let go of Roland. She still looked at Roland, who seemed to be down, with the same faint smile, and asked with confusion between her eyebrows: "Is it wrong for me to do this? I often see Mr. Roland talking to Feiya when he is in the Round Table Hall. Embracing each other like this. I also asked Fiya privately what the purpose of doing this was, and Fiya told me that it could relieve the physical and mental fatigue of the heroes." "When I was first summoned, Mr. Roland, your expression was full of pain and fatigue, so I should hug you. How about it? This can bring some relief to your heart, right?" Wait, I remember that Fiya's hug wasn't a literal word "hug" in the Japanese text has that meaning. Did I do anything to Fiya before I lost my memory? And Fiya, what did you teach Melina?You...you did a good job, you did a great job! Melina's sudden hug really eased Roland's originally anxious and angry mood. He exhaled and smiled at Melina: "Thank you for your hug. I do feel a lot better." Melina nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that what Feiya said really makes sense." But Roland didn't see that Melina's red ears hidden in her pink-brown hair revealed that the girl in front of her was not as calm as she appeared. "So Lord Roland, what are your plans next?" Melina asked, changing the subject. Roland looked at the ruins of Duogu City, which was still emitting smoke everywhere in Morn City. The residents of Duogu City were cleaning and putting them aside. "Call more soldiers to consolidate your defense facilities, and at the same time send people out to Sarid, oh, that's the name of this land, to various parts of the Sarid continent to learn about the current world's intelligence." Melina nodded, and then said: "Have you summoned anyone I know well now?" Roland thought for a while and replied: "Kenneth Hyde, you have met him a few times, is he familiar?"
Melina said: "I saw him when I possessed you, but he couldn't see me. I have a small suggestion for Kenneth Hyde. Why don't you, Lord Roland, give him the important task of how to deal with the defeated army?" , I think as the son of Lord Nimgefu, he must have his own way to obtain more benefits for us." "Okay, I really haven't thought about this. I only think about how to reasonably allocate the ether required for summoning." Roland nodded, then stood up: "Without further delay, I will go directly to the blessing teleportation point, Kenneth. Hyde calls back.” "it is good." "Yakir." Roland looked at Yakir who had closed his eyes again. The latter's hurried opening of his eyes made Roland feel a little funny. He waved to Yakir: "You should have a good rest first. Today Thank you for your hard work in the battle." "I am happy to serve you, the great Lord of the Elden Ring." Aqil breathed a sigh of relief and watched as Roland and Melina disappeared around the corner of the stairs. Then it lay its huge body on the ground and got comfortable. I fell asleep after taking it. Behind Roland, apart from the loyal guard Ikosela, there was another figure belonging to three of them quickly arrived at the location of the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion.
