Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 49 The Ashes of the Salary King in Tesla City

There is an empty cave underground in Tesla City. The road that can lead to the ground can only pass through the underground space of the energy tower, and follow the underground construction site when the energy tower was built.

The energy tower that has been extinguished has no life, the door of the control room is wide open, and the corpses in the city have been disposed of by the outpost and buried in a nearby snow pit.

The tyrant used snow pits to bury the corpses. If it weren't for the various diseases brought back by the rotting corpses, Li Jianghao thought that Tesla might not even point out the snow pits.

There is no warm atmosphere inside the energy tower in front of him, and the pipes that originally spewed out the steam are dead silent.Follow the control room to open the passage to the inside of the energy tower, walk on the support for maintenance, and soon reach the bottom of the furnace core.

Access to the underground requires the personal authority of the Archon.A series of maintenance mechanical codes. These mechanical codes are also included in what Tesla said in order to survive.

Li Jianghao moved and pulled the switches in order, then manually held the switch of the bottom door and pulled it open.After the energy tower has no energy supply, even if the restrictions are released, it will still require manpower to open it.

A staircase slowly extended downwards. Unexpectedly, the power stored in the city was still working, and a light was lit every not far from the passage leading to the underground.

In the silent space, only the sound of his own footsteps could be heard, and Li Jianghao turned all the way down without knowing how many turns before he saw the cave not dug by man-made traces not far away.

The entrance to the cave was hastily blocked by a pile of debris. Li Jianghao waved his holy sword to open up a path and stepped inside.

After walking about two kilometers, the road ahead suddenly opened up, bypassing the last obstacle, and the vast underground space was revealed.

The flat soil ground showed a stony hardness. There was no damp and gloomy atmosphere underground, but it was very dry.

All the water vapor seemed to be evaporated, and Li Jianghao could feel his throat dry and his lips began to crack.

The size of this cave seems to be large enough to accommodate an ancient dragon species to rest. The ancient dragon named Bingyu didn't know why he ruled this world, but left directly after a short stay.

Fortunately, the system has already guaranteed that the incarnation of the natural disaster will not appear again.Li Jianghao is not worried about a thrilling monster hunter battle here.

As Tesla said, that scale is the only proof that the ice dragon remains in this world.Even all the ice, snow and even the liquid caused by his activities disappeared with the departure of the ice dragon.That's why this subterranean environment is so dry.

Continuing to move deeper into the cave, Li Jianghao found nothing. Until he was about to leave, the ring of darkness in his body began to heat up, or in other words, the human soul wrapped in the ring of darkness was heating up.

The heat crazily impacted the shackles of the ring of darkness, trying to spread to the whole body, and even expand from the original body, to transform into an unknown monster.

Li Jianghao began to feel dizzy and fell to his knees with the holy sword, tearing at his skin with one hand.

"It is nameless, unpaid ashes."

The lamenting female voice drifted past, and the red light reappeared on Li Jianghao, like the flickering light of coal burning. Once the limit is exceeded, everything will be burned.

"That is why the ashes crave the warmth of the fire."

Reason was completely suppressed in the soul, Li Jianghao could only watch his body stand up blindly, like a living corpse.

However, after the perception of the soul is stripped from the body, it will not feel painful, and Li Jianghao can calm down.

"System, what happened!"

"Here are the ashes left by the soul of the king of salary. That king of salary has the god race blood of the sun king Gwen, who can suppress your dark ring and force the dwarves to perform the ancient ritual when the first fire is about to go out. Make an oath, become an undead person, and embark on the mission of finding the king's soul to rekindle the first fire."

"But I'm already immortal!" Li Jianghao cursed in his heart, "Or the reward you gave the Ring of Darkness is rubbish, this is not the world of Dark Souls, and it can be suppressed by the traces left by the Salary King. "

The system was silent for a while before saying:
"Is your soul the owner of this body? To be precise, it was Richard Noz who became an undead man, and then because he didn't share the dark soul of the dwarf king, the inner annihilation of humanity directly became alive." Corpse. Once people in this world are infected with the curse of the ring of darkness, there will be no period of confusion after losing the will to survive, and this is also the reason why they directly become living corpses."

Li Jianghao heheed, "seeing" his gradually familiar body trembling unconsciously like an idiot, he felt crazy.

"Then quickly give me a solution. There are traces left by King Xin here. Maybe the dark ring that appeared in this world has something to do with this King Xin. He has the blood of the gods, that is, the descendant of King Gwen. Then The guy is a protoss."

When the system heard the Protoss, Li Jianghao seemed to feel a subtle emotional change:

"Savior, there are no gods in this world. Even if they exist, they are false gods who occupy power and will eventually be eliminated, and the era of human autonomy will continue forever."

"Okay, okay, I haven't completed the novice mission to officially join your savior. Since you don't take God seriously, then quickly think of a way to get me back into this body."

Li Jianghao's soul tried hard to run towards the living corpse, but the dark mark locked the living corpse's heart and prevented him from regaining control of the body.

"I will liberate your soul. You need to destroy the traces of King Xin left here. After destroying those traces in the state of soul, the suppression will be lifted, and then you can return to this body."

The system explained calmly that Li Jianghao's soul's vision began to broaden, and he was able to observe the world from his soul's perspective.

There seemed to be traces of flames surging in the surrounding environment, and all the traces were concentrated towards the center of the entire underground cave.

As Li Jianghao observed more and more carefully, the things composed of those central traces became clearer.

Finally, under Li Jianghao's gaze, a tall figure slowly stood up.

The big sword in his hand was condensed into a shape, called sin karma.

"Prince of Lothric, Lorien."

The system read out the name slowly, and Li Jianghao silently added a note: version with intact knees.

"Mortals, respond to the call of the flame, go to Lothric, the hometown of the Salary Kings, and fulfill your mission."

Lorian looked down at the short human soul in front of him, and there was no emotion on his stern face.
