Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 49
After killing the colossus, Li Lin noticed a huge city not far ahead.

Moen City.

In the process of looking for Lingma and Irena, Li Lin passed a forest of steles made of giant swords.

There seems to be something written on these giant swords.

Walking over and stopping by the sword stele for a while, he saw this passage:
[Moen siege battle.

A lone vengeful hero stands up to fight,

Eventually lost to King Geoffrey. 】

Judging from the material of these giant swords and the blurring of the text, it is probably within tens to 100 years.

Godfrey...that was the name of the human who first united with Queen Malika.

Also the former King of Elden.

Who is this vengeful hero?
After a while, the knight retrieved his beloved spirit horse and Irena.

The tunnel into the city was not suitable for the spirit horse to move, so Li Lin sent back the spirit horse and walked towards the city alone with Irena.

"Is this... the smell of blood? Did a lot of people die around here?"

Irena held her nose and asked in a difficult tone.

Pulling her to avoid the corpses of soldiers on the ground, Li Lin replied truthfully.

"Yes, the ground is full of dead soldiers, and the situation in the city may be very difficult."

These corpses were scattered and scattered in the tunnel, and the death conditions were quite tragic, and many of them even had traces of being whipped.

Irena stopped slowly.

"What's wrong?" Li Lin asked.

"...Sorry, I asked you for help without understanding the situation."

After a pause, the girl said.

"Obviously I also know that the situation in the city may be very early, and I also know..." The girl suddenly cried, tears streaming down from behind the black cloth covering her eyes.

"Please leave first. I don't want my father to die, but I don't want to implicate innocent people either."

"What about you?" he asked.

"I will continue to look for my father. Apart from his side, there is no place for me in this world."

"Please don't worry about me. I can't thank you enough for your willingness to send me here. I don't know how to repay you, so please leave here."

Irena lowered her head with a firm tone.

"Since you have made up your mind to die, you might as well try to trust me, the passing knight." Li Lin said with a smile.

Irena turned her head towards him in astonishment.

"Why don't you make a bet with me? I will safely send you to your father's side. As a bet, you must help me convince your city lord's father to tell me the location of the 'Great Sword of Sword Skeleton'."

"I don't know what the 'Jianke Great Sword' is, and I am willing to accept this bet, but you..."

After reading the girl's unspoken words, Li Lin smiled a little embarrassedly.

"My words may be much stronger than you imagine."

--------

Passing through the tunnel into the city and taking Irena on the lifting device together, the two officially entered the city of Moen.

Here, Li Lin saw a scene of hell that was a hundred times more tragic than the tunnel into the city.

Flames of war, gunpowder smoke, ruins, broken limbs, ugly hybrids, monsters, the pungent smell of blood and corpses...

Not far from the city entrance, there is a corpse mountain made up of countless human corpses.

Yes, this is not an exaggerated description, it is really a hill nearly five meters high composed of human corpses.

On the top of the hill is a simple platform for the stake, on which a man of unknown gender wearing aristocratic clothing is bound.

His legs had been cut off, the flesh and blood on his face was blurred, and his lower body had been charred by the burning flames.

On this hill, dozens of hybrids stood around the platform, dancing and dancing, as if they were performing some kind of evil and cruel ritual.

Without a doubt, this is hell.

Being unable to see with both eyes is not a bad thing at times like this.

This kind of scene is not what this kind girl should see.

Even though he knew that these hybrids might have been abused, they were human beings. Even Li Lin, who had seen other hells, couldn't accept this scene.

In addition, the corpses of human soldiers almost blocked the entrance to the city.

Thanks to the cover of these corpses, the hybrids and other monsters not far from the city did not notice the arrival of Li Lin and Irena.

In addition to being angry, Li Lin sensed the faint sound of fighting going on on the distant city wall.

Maybe this city hasn't completely fallen yet?

Here comes the troublesome question, how can we take Irena through these ruins and find his father?
Although there are a large number of hybrids, the structure of the city is also slightly complicated. If he is alone, it is not impossible for him to sneak in.

As before, it is also possible to slowly clear the monsters.

But if Irena is left here to wait, it is better to let her wait on the side of the road not far from the Sacrificial Bridge.

Li Lin suddenly envied Sun Wukong's ability to draw the ground as a prison, drawing a circle on the ground can protect Master Tang Seng, and then he can kill monsters with peace of mind.

In the end, he chose to take the girl down from the lifting device again, and took her into a room in the tunnel into the city.

Taking out the ashes, Li Lin summoned the soul jellyfish.As soon as the girl-like jellyfish emerged from the sky, without any enemies, it immediately floated to Li Lin's side with attachment, and slowly surrounded him.

Smiling softly, Li Lin reached out and stroked the broad umbrella-shaped head of the jellyfish.

"What is this...?" The blind yellow-haired girl suddenly turned her head to the soul jellyfish.

"Can you see her?" Li Lin asked in surprise.

"She...? I don't quite understand...but I can feel that there is a...how to put it, a comforting existence appearing."

"You probably have some gift for the soul."

"This is my partner, the soul jellyfish. I want her to protect you. I will first try to clean up the enemies at the entrance of the city. After cleaning them up, I will come here to find you."

He will be optimistic about the elevator at the entrance of the city and will not let any monsters down.

Summoning jellyfish is not only the final insurance, but also to give the girl a sense of peace of mind.

"Thank you..." Irena didn't know what to say towards Li Lin and the jellyfish.

"You're welcome, I hope you don't find it too boring."

Saying goodbye to the girl temporarily, the knight returned to the elevator again.

Stepping out of the elevator, the scene of hell appeared before his eyes again.

The girl was waiting for him, and the battle on the distant wall was still going on.

That being the case, he has to send these ugly guys to the real hell soon.

The curved blade was slowly unsheathed without a sound, and Li Lin's expression became bone-chillingly cold again.
