Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 4 Death?

"Crackling."

Awakened from the darkness, Li Lin felt the warmth of the fire not far away before opening his eyes, and heard the crackling sound of the flames burning on the firewood.

There was still some pain in his body, but it was fine. He lay on the ground and opened his eyes.

It was probably in an abandoned dilapidated chapel, the dome of the small church was mostly broken, and the deep starry sky could be seen directly.

The long sword and the holy seal of the finger thrown earlier were placed beside him.

Turning his head, Li Lin looked in the direction of the fire.

The church was empty, except for Li Lin himself, there was no trace of anyone, only the flame burning in the darkness.

Not far from the flame, there was a blessing emitting a faint golden light.

Under the shining of the golden light, Li Lin could feel the injuries on his body slowly recovering, and the Holy Grail Dettol he was carrying was gradually filling up.

Close your eyes and look back at your previous memories... Is it a near-death illusion?The blue-skinned witch he had never seen saved him?
Probably because he doesn't like to read forums very much, Li Lin has never heard of any witch in "The Ancient Ring" with blue skin.

He let out a long breath and escaped from the shadow of death, but the previous near-death experience was still unforgettable.

Getting up from the ground, sitting by the fire, Li Lin stared blankly at the dancing flames.

As a professional player, he has already experienced countless battles. Although the real near-death experience is unforgettable, he has already experienced no less than a hundred similar death battles in games with high fidelity.

What made him feel slightly confused was the loneliness that came with the dark night sky.

He has never been a solo player, and has always believed that games should be played with good friends to be happier.

Whether he was the most trusted tank in the team in "Ancient Ring", or as a rampant and admired dual-sword swordsman in another game earlier, he always enjoyed the support from his teammates. And the trust of guild partners.

But in this real world, he seemed to be completely alone.

The same is true for Carlos. After being expelled from his hometown, the witch who had been with him for several years was killed again, and he didn't even know who his enemy was.

It was the first time that Li Lin felt the loneliness from a foreign land.

Even if the soul of another aborigine in the body is fused, can the time traveler really perfectly integrate into other worlds?

Shaking his head, Li Lin didn't want to be too much affected by these negative emotions.

It was late at night, and my body was still a little tired.

I got some water from a nearby lake, and washed the blood on my body and armor by the way.

The dietary needs of the faded person are quite small. After gnawing some dry food taken from the four-dimensional chrysanthemum with water, Li Lin returned to the fire next to the blessing of the church, arranged a simple induction ceremony with the power of prayer, and lay down. On the haystack on the ground, fell asleep again.

------

Endless fog.

Li Lin walked in a daze in the mist.

In the vast fog where you can't reach your fingers, a little golden light gradually emerges.

As if he was being guided, he kept moving towards that point of light.

Towards the other side of the fog.

Li Lin vaguely heard an old voice.

'Arrived at the junction'

'Access to the Elden Circle'

That point of light gradually became brilliant and grand, like a huge golden door suddenly opened in front of his eyes.

'Be the king of Elden! '

------

Waking up from sleep, the first thing I saw was the golden light of the blessing point not far away.

After exhaling, Li Lin put on his equipment again, and prepared to set off to find the blind witch he had seen from afar before.

Also, try to find a new horse.

His beloved horse was previously killed by a knight in golden armor.

But he has also avenged it.

The location of the blind witch in his memory happened to be in the same direction as the guiding light of this blessing point. There was no luggage to pack, so Li Lin set off directly to the direction of the blind witch in his memory.

"Pfft."

[Holding Rune: 29598]

Withdrawing the long sword from the body of a miscellaneous soldier, Li Lin threw away the long sword that was on the verge of breaking in his hand expressionlessly, broke off the right hand of the corpse, and picked up the straight sword he was holding.

Weighed the weight.

A little light, but still usable.

The previous long sword is estimated to shatter after another collision, and it is too dangerous to use for fighting.

Li Lin couldn't help complaining in his heart. As a former nobleman, even if he was expelled from the city of Caria, the long sword used by Carlos is too bad, it is completely at the level of a commoner.

If it weren't for the characteristics of flowing swordsmanship, this long sword might not know how broken it is.

After spending half a day, he had already reached the place in his memory.

Li Lin failed to find the blind witch who had seen it in this place.Along the way, he killed many miscellaneous soldiers who lost their sanity due to the broken magic ring after being blessed.

In addition, the player's habits let him collect all the materials that can be collected on the road and throw them into the four-dimensional chrysanthemum.

Standing here, Li Lin could vaguely see the new blessing point in the distance.

It was all coming, and despite not seeing the blind witch, he decided to continue on towards the new blessed light.

The faded warrior's footsteps were fast, and after a while he saw the light of the new blessing point on the ground.

Although there is no need for supplies now, Li Lin sat down at the blessing point.

Just like in the game, he can now call out the map.

The blessing point recorded in the church before shines brightly on the map.

After waiting for a while, this new blessing point was also recorded on the map, and Li Lin was ready to continue on the road of searching for witches.

The illusory light and shadow suddenly solidified not far in front of him, Li Lin immediately turned his head and looked over.

A black robe with a hood covered her entire body, only revealing a small part of her nose and pink lips.

witch? !Li Lin was a little bit vigilant but also a little surprised.

"Hello." The calm girl's voice sounded.

Melina? !

This voice is very familiar to any "Ancient Ring" player, and Li Lin couldn't help being a little excited.

She used her body as a salary to light the golden tree as if it was still yesterday.

He suppressed his excitement.

After all, Carlos had no reason to know her.

"Hello." Li Lin replied, controlling her tone.

"Fadeer, my name is Melina."

"Carlos." It was a familiar yet unfamiliar conversation. Li Lin still vaguely remembered the first time he met Melina in "The Ancient Ring", and the content of the chat seemed to be somewhat similar to this.

The witch nodded, lifted her long robe gently, and squatted down in front of Li Lin.

By the way, in "The Ancient Ring", she said more than once that she was not a witch.

Although no matter how you look at her, she is a witch...

Lifting the hood, Melina revealed her pale pink hair.

The witch has a fair face and a beautiful appearance. Although she is a witch with a calm tone, she has a faint soft-girl temperament in her appearance.

She has a long scar (mark?) over her left eye, and only her pale green right eye is open.

"I want to be with you..."

Talk about a condition.

Li Lin even wanted to say what she said next in advance.

"Talk about a condition."

"Looking at your appearance, you should have just separated from the witch not long ago."

Thinking of the memories of Carlos, Li Lin couldn't help but look slightly gloomy.

"I'm sorry if my words make you feel bad... I can take her place."

Li Lin looked at Melina, a little lost in thought.

Without noticing Li Lin's expression, Melina continued talking on her own.

"If you desire Elden's Circle, I can help you. In exchange, I hope you can help."

"What's the matter?" Li Lin asked knowingly.

"Take me to the foot of the golden tree."

Li Lin couldn't help but fell silent.

This silence lasted for half a minute.

Melina couldn't help being a little curious, she asked patiently: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

"Why go to the foot of the golden tree?"

Melina also fell silent, and after more than ten seconds, she replied: "I will tell you when you have the ability to become King Elden."

In the previous life, after they climbed the golden tree, because of Melina sacrificing herself to ignite the golden tree, everyone on the forum scolded the authorities for Melina's death.At the same time, the popularity of a post was also boosted.

The owner of the post said that he met an npc on the snow mountain map, and that npc mocked him that the first-line raiders were just cowards with nothing but force, and in the end, a girl was going to die for them.

If he intends to change this fate, he should go to the bottom of the royal city to look for epilepsy.

Some people also commented on this post, saying that they encountered a believer in the so-called epilepsy in the game.

After that, many players followed the thread to discuss and form a team to explore the bottom of the royal city.

When Li Lin heard the news, these players had already explored quite deep at the bottom of the royal city, but they hadn't found the so-called epileptic fire yet.

But at this time, Melina has also sacrificed herself.

At that time, he was on the front line of the raid, and he was constantly in high-intensity battles almost every day, so he didn't have time to read the forum. This news was also told to him by the team's little nanny crying, saying that they might have missed the chance to save Melina .
