When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

Several corpses lay silently on the green grass, with their weapons scattered around their hands. Those weapons had gone through an unknown number of years. After losing their owners, most of them seemed to have been washed away by the torrent of time in an instant, and became In decay.

If you lose your master's weapon, you will die. In today's borderland, most weapons that have not been blessed and illuminated are like this.

Fortunately, a shimmering straight sword remained. The thin, watery golden light showed that it had received a golden blessing, so it would not turn into dirt or debris with the death of its owner.

[Equipment Name]: King's Army Straight Sword

[Equipment Requirements]: Strength 10, Dexterity 10

[Numerical bonus]: Strength D, Dexterity D

[Included combat skills]: Prepare the stance - raise the sword parallel to the ground, and then use the combat skills to attack. The light attack can be used to slash from the bottom up to break through the defense. The heavy attack can be used to sprint forward and thrust. attack.

[Explanation]: The straight sword held by the regular soldiers of the King's Army is a carefully designed high-quality weapon. However, after long-term use, the quality has deteriorated and the surface has turned black. However, traces of maintenance can be seen. . But it stands to reason that the soldier who used this sword has long lost his mind, so who is taking care of it?

Li Shanren, who lacked strength, had some difficulty in picking up the straight sword from the ground. He clenched it with both hands and waved it hard twice. Feeling the sound of the sword cutting through the air, a smile appeared on his face.

What man wouldn't like a sword of his own?

It is still difficult for him to use this sword now, but it doesn't matter. As long as he upgrades to five levels, Li Shanren will be able to meet the standards for using this sword.

The King's Army Straight Sword is a relatively high-quality early-stage melee weapon in the border area. Not only does it require low equipment, but its attack power is also pretty good. It is worth using for the time being before getting the mage's exclusive melee weapon.

Li Shanren put away his straight sword, walked to the phantom golden tree in the middle of the grass, and picked up the round golden seed at the bottom of the tree.

[Item name]: Golden Seed

[Explanation]: The seeds that can be found at the roots of the Phantom Golden Tree can increase the amount of dew drops regenerated after being planted into the Holy Grail bottle. When Elden's Ring was broken, the Sacred Golden Tree scattered its seeds across the border, knowing its final fate like an ordinary life, so it longed for continuation.

The phantom golden tree in front of you should be the sapling form of the golden tree. Before they grow up a little, they will be in a half-empty and half-real state, so as to avoid being irresistibly harmed in their youngest period.

Those small golden trees that can condense crystal dew drops under the trees are most likely the juvenile or young form of the sacred golden tree.

At the current junction, there are many phantom golden trees growing.

The seeds of the golden tree can often be picked up at the bottom of their trees. They are likely to be thrown here together, but only one will successfully germinate, and the remaining seeds will lose the chance to grow and lie quietly at the bottom of the tree. , either picked up by others, or turned into nutrients.

Fortunately, a seed happened to fall on the grass near the fortress. The golden seed hidden in Hyde's hand may have been picked up under this phantom golden tree.

In addition to the Phantom Golden Tree, there are many low shrubs growing around this grassland. Bright red blood roses are blooming on the shrubs at the moment. There are sharp barbs hidden under the branches of the roses.

These blood roses prove that the land here was once soaked in blood enough to form puddles. Under their watering, such beautiful and dangerous flowers were nurtured. Their existence tells everyone that the power representing blood has been here. .

Blood rose is a flower loved by the servants who serve the Blood King.

The Blood King is the monarch of the Blood Dynasty, and is a very mysterious force in the border area. The territory of the Blood Dynasty cannot even be found on the entire surface of the border area, and it is unknown where they are.

For Li Shanren now, the Blood King is still a very distant figure, but he has seen the power of blood more than once.

When he first came out of the Drifting Cemetery, the white mask who took the initiative to talk to Li Shanren was actually serving the Blood King.

He took the initiative to contact Li Shanren in order to draw Li Shanren, a newly arrived fader, into the Blood King's camp.

Now, the enemy Li Shanren wants to enter the fortress to deal with is, as Hyde introduced, a knight who was corroded by the power of blood and fell into madness.

That knight was originally under the command of "Extended Limb" Greg, but now he may have betrayed his former monarch.

......

Stepping into the fortress gate, the smell of blood mixed with the stale smell rushed into the nostrils.

In the center of the field, a tall demi-human queen corpse fell near the door. Its back was cut open, revealing putrid flesh and blood. Many blood-sucking flies were flying around the corpse, biting her from time to time, making irritating noises. buzzing.

There are several clusters of shrubs growing on the overgrown ground, and beautiful blood roses bloom leisurely on them, showing the blessing of the power of blood.

Several greasy gray rune rats crawled around chattering, occasionally stopping to take a few bites at the demihuman corpses on the ground, and then left in disgust. They seemed to be even more eager for fresh flesh and blood.

On the high platform, the thin-bodied resident of the junction looked blankly at the magician who walked in from the gate. He numbly picked up a flame pot on the ground and wanted to throw it at the opponent, but then, he was A shot of fluorescent blue pyroxene was hit, and the already decayed body shook slightly, and then fell to the ground silently. The flame pot also fell to the ground, and exploded due to the smash.

In the middle and late stages of the Shattered War, due to the heavy casualties in the army, many forces began to forcibly recruit ordinary residents of the border areas to serve in the army. However, they did not provide any equipment and asked those residents to bring their own old straight swords to the battlefield. Become a cannon fodder.

Many fortresses or fortresses also sent some ordinary residents who had long lost their minds to garrison due to lack of manpower.

These residents were originally the most devout believers of the Golden Tree, but after the ring was broken, their faith seemed to have been crushed, and they quickly lost their sanity in the collapse.

They may be the first borderland group to lose their sanity.

Many residents also hang wooden boards with tree patterns with holes on their bodies. It is said that they are a symbol of themselves as "People of the Golden Tree" and the shackles that bind themselves, so as to enhance their faith in the Golden Tree.

It can only be said that no matter which world it is in, after the collapse of order, the residents at the bottom will always be the most miserable group of people.

After dealing with the threat from high places, Li Shanren waved his hand and asked the three wild wolves following him to rush into the fortress and look for enemies to attack on their own. He himself held the meteorite staff tightly and looked around vigilantly to prevent being caught in the shadows. Hidden enemies sneak attack.

Li Shanren is not worried about the safety of the wild wolves.

In his impression, the most dangerous person in this fortress was only the knight who fell into blood madness. The others were miscellaneous soldiers like the residents of the border area and rune rats. It was more than enough for the fierce wild wolves to deal with them.

Soon, the wild wolves focused on a few rune rats wandering around the fortress.

They attacked together and worked together, killing the big rats one by one in a short time. Then they rushed into a room in the fortress and killed the zombie-like residents inside one by one.

For those residents of the border area who have lost their minds and been used as cannon fodder, death may be a relief.

After the wild wolves had cleared all the enemies in the central area and rooms of the fortress, Li Shanren walked in the fortress with peace of mind. On the way, he also killed a resident standing on the wall who was about to throw a flame pot.

He first entered the room where several resident corpses were lying, and fumbled for an ancient booklet with yellowed paper on a withered body beside the wall.

[Item Name]: Wandering Warrior’s Production Notes (6)

[Explanation]: The production notes written by wandering warriors record the knowledge that can gain vitality in the dilemma of having nothing.

This kind of booklet with the suffix "Production Notes" is widely circulated in the border areas. There are many kinds, and most of them record the production methods of some things.

For example, the book Li Shanren has on hand records how to use blood roses to make arrows with special effects or oils that can be applied to weapons to temporarily enchant them.

However, if you want to make props, you need to obtain a production kit first.

Such items are located at the merchants in Airey Church and need to be purchased with runes.

Li Shanren put away the production notes and walked out of the dim small room.

He walked around the grounds in the center of the fortress several times, picking up all the materials left on the ground. Even the blood roses growing on the bushes were all gone, and then he stepped onto the stairs to the city wall with satisfaction.

If nothing else, the knight named Blood Madness is on the city wall.

Li Shanren walked up the city wall step by step along the stairs.

An auxiliary soldier wearing a chain shawl and soft armor suddenly rushed out from the corner, grabbed a short dagger, and rushed towards Li Shanren.

Before Li Shanren could raise his staff, the three wild wolves following him pounced on him and bit the soldier to death on the spot.

He is the soldier responsible for controlling the ballista on the city wall.

Unlike the regular soldiers of the King's Army of Grek, his gray soft armor is very worn and his weapon only has a dagger. He is an auxiliary soldier in the King's Army.

After dealing with the last blocking soldier, Li Shanren led the three wild wolves to the top of the city wall. On the rectangular wall platform, a knight holding a big sword and a golden shield stood alone with his back to him.

He wears a red and green knight's armor, and wears a square badge with a double-headed battle ax on his left chest, which is a symbol of serving the golden clan.

Starting from the original king, Godfrey, the continuation of the family is the Golden Clan, also known as the "Royal Family". As the grandson of Godfrey, "Extended Limb" Greg is naturally an orthodox descendant of the royal family.

Therefore, the knights under his command are loyal to the golden clan.

However, the knight in front of him had betrayed the golden clan and fell into the arms of the blood power.
