I, Hierophant Elden, join the chat group

Finally someone came to accompany me...

However, that woman is still so scary...

One picture per chapter.jpg

Volume 1: Chapter 78 Sir Bai Zhi, you are now alone.

Lake Lienia.

"Oh my god...this...is so..."

When she arrived at Platinum Village, Millicent was so shocked by what she saw that she was completely speechless.

This was the most unforgettable scene she had ever seen in her life.

How cruel is it?

The strong smell of blood and rancidity filled the air.

Houses were burned down and everyone in Platinum Village was slaughtered.

But this is not enough.

The murderers also hung the corpses on long poles, like flags, slowly fluttering in the cool breeze blowing through the cave.

The corpses were gathered together, piled together and burned, like firewood, making continuous explosions.

"Ugh... Master, Burke... Burke is very scared..."

The short demi-human had already hid behind him, holding on to his coat and shivering.

On the contrary, Serolina didn't react much and silently stepped forward to offer eulogies to these people who died tragically.

"O souls who died tragically, I hope your souls can be liberated and return to the Golden Tree, no longer suffering..."

Although the golden law has been broken, returning to the tree has long become nonsense, not to mention that the son of platinum is an existence rejected by the golden blessing, which is of no use at all.

But at least it can comfort the mind.

Moreover, Serolina didn't see much of this kind of thing since she had been wandering around the border for so long.

Looting and killing are always the main theme of the borderland.

Whether it is the golden tree's prosperous era or its current decline, it remains the same.

At the same time, Letina had entered the village riding a white wolf.

She watched everything in front of her calmly, without crying or showing any anger, as if she had anticipated this scene.

There is only endless sadness flowing in the eyes.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and patted the white wolf beneath her.

"Let's go, Bert."

"Woo..."

Bert carefully opened the wolf's claws, as if he was afraid that he would step on and desecrate the corpses.

As a partner, it knew very well that these people were of the same race as Letina, and it also knew how sad Letina was at this moment.

Su Feng, who was following along, also looked around.

Under the bridge on the road, he found no figure of Neferi, only a burnt fire.

In the village, there were only piles of burning corpses, as well as the corpses of a perfumer and a bad omen hunter.

It seems that Neferi herself killed the people sent by Sir Momochi to plunder the Talisman Festival.

Next, it’s time for the self-isolation session in the round table hall.

I have to find time to go back.

Later, in the deepest part of the village, on the edge of an inconspicuous cliff, Elpas was found transformed into a jar, just like the original Burke.

"Mr. Elpas..."

"...Oh, thank God, Letina, you are still alive...it is really great to be able to see you.

Those hateful group of curse-bearers ruined everything, and we and this village are headed for destruction..."

As survivors of the Platinum Sons, Elpas and Letina held each other's hands and cried, telling each other about the tragic experiences of recent days.

Su Feng silently stepped aside and took the initiative to leave this place to them. He came to the bridge alone and stood there looking at the giant crabs crawling in the lotus pond in the distance.

After a while, Serolina also left there and slowly came to his side.

Originally, Millicent also wanted to come, but after seeing Serolina's figure, she chose to retreat.

Finlay saw all this and was a little angry.

You obviously dare to go up to me, but as Lady Marlenia’s daughter, why don’t you dare?

"....Lord Su Feng."

"Um?"

"Lord Su Feng, Serolina implores you to become the King of Elden, okay?"

"...."

Hearing Serolina's sudden request, Su Feng turned his head and looked at her with some doubts, and subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Normally, Serolina, who is a finger witch, should use words like mission and destiny at this time.

Just like before, same words as always.

But this time, Serolina didn't mention the mission again.

Instead, he whispered with emotion:

"...Lord Su Feng, actually after I was selected to become the Finger Witch, I wandered around the border for a long time..."

"Like what we saw today in Platinum Village, we have seen many killings and plunders in the past. Even if you are not the Faded One, many people have done many such things, killing just for the sake of killing..."

"Those fragmented kings have made blasphemous choices time and time again."

This is true for the battle between the demigods of Galede, and even more so for the fragmented king of the Faded Ones, Gryk.

"What they have done has completely violated the golden law of gentleness and tolerance..."

"So I have been thinking in my heart, if someone can repair the Elden Ring, become the King of Elden and restore peace to the border..."

"Even if it goes against my mission, I will give everything to that person."

"But now..."

Speaking of this, Serolina's voice suddenly stopped, she slowly turned her head to look at him, clasped her hands in front of her chest as if praying, and said word by word:

"If possible, Serolina hopes that person is you, Lord Su Feng."

"Although I haven't spent as much time with you as Melina-sama, Serolina believes that if you become the King of Elden, you will definitely be a gentle and kind king."

"This is Serolina's lifelong request. I hope you can become the King of Elden and repair this world."

Su Feng: "......"

Gentle and kind.

This kind of word seems a bit out of place for him.

Su Feng himself is very self-aware.

His hands were stained with blood... Oh no, to be exact, they were the evil Shura ghosts crawling out of the sea of ​​blood in the mountain of corpses.

Although I have restrained my temper a lot now, it basically has nothing to do with these two words.

only.

Faced with Serolina's request, he did not agree or refuse, but looked at her with a smile, and then turned back to look at the misty forest in the distance.

"You know, Miss Serolina, someone once said the same thing to me."

"She said that she had been looking at the junction. She thought that the world must be repaired, and that death must come equally."

As he spoke, the figure of a small wooden figure standing next to a flame cauldron, letting the hot wind blow, appeared in his mind.

Although the words are slightly different, the meaning is the same.

However, I didn’t expect to hear these words from Serolina today.

I felt a lot at once, and even talked a little more.

"I remember that she also told me that even if she committed a serious crime, she still hopes that everything can be repaired... But today I want to hear your answer, Serolina."

"If one day you find that the golden tree must be burned to repair the world, what choice will you make at that time?"

Su Feng looked directly into Serolina's eyes and asked.

In fact, this question already has an answer.

Although the Finger Witches are Two-Finger's subordinates, from the moment they meet the Faded One, they will choose to dedicate their body and mind to the King.

Just like Bagram, Vic and Bernal, their witches are the best answer.

One was willing to fulfill Bagram's wish and was killed; one looked for a way to relieve the suppressed epilepsy for Vic and found the Church of Calm; and the other decisively jumped into the cauldron of flames and sacrificed himself for Bernal...

It's just this answer that Su Feng hopes to hear with his own ears.

But unfortunately, Serolina was silent.

"It doesn't matter. There is no rush for this answer. I can tell you my answer——

Even if I commit a serious crime, I will complete my mission. "

It's unclear who gave it this mission.

Anyway, what you give yourself is called a mission.

However, while they were chatting, Letina had already finished saying goodbye to Alpas, and rode Bert out of the village with a sad face.

"It seems the result is a bit unsatisfactory."

Su Feng stepped forward, raised his gaze and asked, "It seems that Mr. Elpas has left, right?"

"....Um."

Letina nodded, "Next, I plan to go to the north of the Golden Tree, Lord Michaela's sacred tree. There is the paradise of our Platinum Sons, and it also contains my unfinished mission..."

"So, sorry, Fader, we may need to leave it at that."

It was not just Letina who said goodbye, but also Millicent.

She hopes to follow Letina to the Holy Tree in the North. While practicing along the way, she is preparing to meet Marlenia, her destined person.

Su Feng did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, we will meet again then.

Because there is no way to cross the forbidden area to the Giant Snow Mountain without the Lord's Talisman, they will be left on the Yatan Plateau.

But before leaving, Millicent said to him:

"...Su Feng, there is something I don't know how to tell you, but...if it's possible, if you go to the Holy Tree, when you get there, I have something I want to tell you. Please wait for me. ”

Millicent's tone was quite serious, with a hint of pleading.

And after saying that, he turned around and left, a bit like running away.

Su Feng just smiled.

He already knew what Millicent wanted to say to him...

"Okay, everyone has left. Next, I have to go to the Round Table Hall."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No, just stay here with Burke and wait for me to come back."

Su Feng rejected Serolina's kindness, and touched the blessing under her gaze, and disappeared immediately.

Serolina bowed slightly towards the direction where he disappeared and said:

"I wish you all the best, Lord Su Feng."
