In front of the checkpoint leading to Stonewell City. Wearing only a loincloth and dressed as a useless person at the beginning, Luke passed by a group of heavily armed Grek soldiers and picked up the map under the stone tablet without anyone else. Facing the unarmed Luke, the soldiers glanced at him briefly and continued patrolling as if nothing had happened. Greg mutilated his people and developed limb replacements on a large scale, turning the famous City of Storms into a slaughterhouse in the underworld. The majestic and gorgeous palace was full of limbs and broken arms, and people had long since lost their hearts. Most of the soldiers were tired of this demigod-like monarch, and wished that someone could kill him. Anyone who dared to cause trouble must have some strength, and those without strength couldn't defeat the ominous monster guarding the gate. The faded ones are all descendants of powerful warriors. If they can't defeat Grek, they are definitely no match for these little Karamies. A few hundred runes a month, what a waste of money! As long as the other side doesn't take action in advance, they won't take action. Luke sat next to the blessing point, and the warm light enveloped him, and a warm feeling flowed throughout his body. The blessing guides the direction of the faded person, and can also help the faded person recover. At this time, a light blue soul light point emerged, and a figure covered in a black cloak appeared next to him.
"Hello, you who came through the fog." He did come through the fog. Luke silently answered in his mind, watching the figure sit down cross-legged, lift up his cloak, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. "I'm Melina, and I want to negotiate a deal with you." Luke smiled and stretched out his hand, answering in a positive tone: "I am Luke, and I agree to your terms." Melina was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly stretched out her hand to shake his, and said calmly: "I haven't said what the conditions are yet..." "Then you say it and I listen." "Do you know the Finger Witches? They are people who serve the Two Fingers and help and guide the faded ones. But you don't have a witch by your side now. I can take their place. As long as you desire the Ring of Elden, this will definitely happen. It will be helpful to you." Melina read the lines without any expression on her face. She tried to pull her hand back, once, twice... Can't take it back. Melina: (-﹏-`;) Lu Ke touched Xiaomu's hand and it was a little hard, worthy of her nickname. He nodded casually. "Yeah, indeed." "So I hope you can help and take me to the roots of the golden tree." "Okay, no problem." So it was Melina's turn to have a question. Why did she feel so wrong? "Don't you have any doubts?" I forgot the front, the middle, and the back, in short, "First Class Love"! Playing Laotou without watching "First Class Love" is like playing Dark Souls without watching "Wandering North".
Luke stroked Melina's hand and spoke softly. "Not long ago, I was seriously injured by a nobleman with limbs. When I was unconscious, I seemed to hear a voice. When I woke up, I found that my injuries had healed, so I agree to whatever conditions you propose." For good-looking people, life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring of water! As for the unsightly ones... I'll just be a cow or a horse in my next life. In the quiet night, under the beautiful starry sky, next to the warm light brought by the blessing, the handsome faded man looked at Melina, his brown eyes full of affection, as if he wanted to put her at the top of his heart. The graphics are pretty good, and it would be even better if the faded ones could put on clothes. Melina nodded expressionlessly and withdrew her hand forcefully without being particularly touched. In fact, she felt that the lives of faded people were not that valuable. After all, it was common for faded people to live and die in the border area. She was just helping out. "This ring is given to you. It can summon the soul of a horse named Thoret. I hope you will treat it well. "No problem. I've always been very good to my mount. If you don't believe me, you can ask Carrot." "Who is Carrot?" "My last mount." Luke took the ring, shook his empty hand and looked at Melina, "I want to convert Rune into my own power." Melina:… She had just withdrawn her hand and had to hand it over again, "Just a moment, let me touch you." After touching, a strange connection formed between the two. Melina withdrew her hand and looked at him with doubtful eyes, "You don't have a single rune." "Yes, I just want to touch your hand." Such straightforward words made Melina a little nervous. She lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, weighing the mission and her personal safety for a moment before making up her mind. In fact, it is not impossible to change to a fader. "Luke, return the spirit horse whistle to me. I just remembered that there are still a few areas of this ring that need to be adjusted." Luke put the ring away and said without any doubt: "Don't think about Melina. Don't expect to leave once it's in my hands. Torrett is already mine, and so are you." Melina stared at Luke for a few seconds, then her figure slowly dissipated in the air, transformed into a spirit body again, and attached itself to Luke. "I hope you keep your promise." "Don't worry, this will let you know what it means to be a descendant of the Fengling Yueying Sect." Luke grinned and blew the whistle of the spirit horse. Torrett appeared from under him and licked the owner's hand with the bull's head. Torrett: (╥╯﹏╰╥) It smells like a normal human being, and the charming Roa fruit smell is gone.
"Be good, I'll pick fruits for you when I get back." Touching Torret's neck soothingly, Luke clamped his legs together, and Torret began to run at high speed, rushing into the checkpoint one man and one horse. Such an open invasion made the soldiers who were playing slack no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they raised their weapons one by one. "Faded, the territory ahead is Lord Greg's territory. If you don't want to become new material, retreat quickly!" "But I refuse!" The unstoppable behavior attracted countless crossbows and arrows to shoot. The soldiers holding the horn blew the alarm, and waves of soldiers gradually surrounded them. A howl came from the rock beam above, and then a huge mountain monster jumped from the sky and caused an earthquake. A layer of golden light attached to Luke, protecting Torret under him, and blocking all incoming attacks. The mountain monster waved a knight's sword that matched his body. The huge sword body rolled up the dust on the ground under the mountain monster's strange power, and the momentum was booming. Luke calmly stretched out his palm with golden light. Ding—— The palm and the giant sword collided with each other, but the ending was unexpected. The normal human-sized faded person snatched the sword from the mountain goblin, who was seven or eight meters tall, and then swung it lightly. The mountain goblin's huge body was thrown away like a chick, knocking away all the barriers and soldiers along the way. Realizing that the invaders were powerful, most of the Grek soldiers stopped their actions, and only a few reckless young people were still rushing forward. "For Lord Grek!" "Take it!" Grabbing the brass shield from a soldier, Luke waved the mountain goblin knight sword in his hand and sent the rushing soldiers back home. Unlike the weapons in the game that match the shrinking size of the faded person, the effect of the huge mountain goblin knight sword waving in his hand formed a huge contrast. After passing through one obstacle after another, Luke rode Torret out of the level and successfully came to the Storm Plain, which is shrouded in storms all year round. The strong wind mixed with the fog makes it impossible to open your eyes. Luke frowned and looked in the direction of the storm, his tone heavier. "Be quiet." The King of Wind's order made the storm stop. The storm that had been blowing for who knows how long stopped at this moment, and the fog was removed. Storm Plain welcomed the unobstructed sunlight for the first time. Luke glanced at the wooden house in the distance. A girl in a small red cloak sat cross-legged. That was Roderica, the girl who escaped from Stonewell City because of fear of limb grafting. She has the talent of a spirit trainer and can help the faded to strengthen the ashes that can summon the soul before birth to fight. Ashes... Luke's eyes lit up. He seemed not to have studied this thing carefully before. Summoning the dead with special methods to help fight, and unlike the Impure World Reincarnation, it does not require the consumption of the body. He took back Torret and walked into the broken house. Roderica huddled up because of the intrusion of a stranger. She carefully looked out and her face flushed when she saw that the faded was not wearing clothes. "Excuse me, who are you?" Luke approached Roderica and spread his hands.
"Let's not go through the formalities. Give me the stuff, and I'll help you kill Greg." "Eh? I didn't want to kill Lord Greg." Rodlika just couldn't accept Lord Greg's limb grafting, turning him into a half-human, half-ghost monster. She fled in fear after seeing her companions being grafted or turned into materials. "If he dies, no one will be grafted anymore, so you don't have to be afraid." Rodlika thought for three seconds and handed over the ashes of the soul jellyfish. There was no other meaning, mainly because the child seemed to like the faders. "Please be careful, Lord Greg is very strong." Although he was the weakest demigod, he was still a demigod after all, and was still an unattainable object in the eyes of ordinary people. Lu Ke didn't answer. The descriptions of the concept of "God" in various worlds were inconsistent, and the energy levels of the worlds were different. Before they fought, he couldn't assert who was stronger between himself and the goddess Marika, who covered the entire border with the golden law and dominated everything. But demigods, especially the shame of demigods like Greg who treasured small flying dragons, were really hard for him to take seriously. Only the most powerful demigods, such as "Star-Breaking General Latan" and "Omen King Mungat", can make him take them seriously, and "Valkyrie Malenia" who can transform into a corrupt goddess and Mikaela who secretly waits to become a god in the Shadow Land can make him pay some attention. The remaining demigods, the blasphemous king Lakad who merged with the God-Eating Serpent, and the blood king Mung who believed in the Mother of Truth in the underground dynasty, can only be said to be worth studying. Riding Torret through the level and passing through a long tunnel through the city, Luke came to the broken bridge leading to Stonewell City. On both sides are bottomless cliffs, and countless weapon wreckages tell of the astonishing number of fierce battles that have taken place here. Many powerful warriors have died here. "O Faded One, manipulated by the fire of foolish ambition." The top pillar of the city gate, golden light lit up, and a figure appeared. He had multiple horns on his head that symbolized "omen", and his tone was cold. "Dreaming of getting the Elden Ring? Then, put out the fire as well." "I, Markit, the ominous demon, will..." The ominous demon that fell from the sky suddenly got stuck, with doubt in its eyes, "You...you are not the faded one, you are a god from somewhere." There are only three people in the border area who are selected by the two fingers and qualified to become gods, the twin gods Marenia and Michaela, and the moon princess Lani. Luke raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I am a god? How do you know?" The ominous demon did not answer, but raised the cane in his hand, "Even if you are a god, it is a serious crime to try to get the Elden Ring. I will break your ladder to godhood." "Execute immediately!"
