Since the sky was getting dark and the other party called her to stop her, Anne had no choice but to think about it and simply turned back with the strange lady riding the bull. They returned to a relatively clean room on the side of the Prince's Chapel. However, the roof was in dilapidated condition, but there was a place where a small beating rune rested temporarily in the middle.
"Huh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Is that the spicy blessing point you just mentioned?"
վ'ᴗ'ի
She didn't expect that there was such a strange thing in this dilapidated house. Of course, Anne ran over immediately and curiously put her face next to the so-called 'blessing point' that emitted weak fluorescence and heat. He stretched out his fingers and studied it carefully.
"strangeness……"
(ー`´ー)
"It looks like some kind of activated application of runes and rules?"
(°ー°〃)
At first, she reached out her hand and touched it lightly without any worry about being hurt. Then soon, Annie roughly understood some of the functions of this so-called 'blessing point'.
Anyway, it's nothing more than using runes and world rules to strengthen and instill energy into the user, and is that officially the source of the so-called 'blessing'?
However, this kind of thing is of no use to Annie!
Therefore, after finishing the research, she put away her hand and watched the young lady wearing a cloak get off her cow and slowly walked to the opposite side of her. Then the two sides were separated from each other by the so-called blessing point. 'Looked at each other.
"You just said..."
"Rules and rules?"
"interesting!"
"It seems that stargazers do have a relatively thorough understanding of the world..."
"but……"
"I saw it too, you seem to be able to use it?"
The young lady looked at Anne for a while, and then slowly and directly knelt down on the dirty floor. Only when she was eye level with the standing Anne, she asked curiously. road.
"Is it difficult to use it?"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
"What's so surprising about that?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne was a little confused, and after blinking, she turned her head and took another look at the other person's face hidden in the cloak.
Rather than giving him a blessing or something, she was obviously more curious about the other person's face hidden in the hood of the cloak.
"That's right."
"It seems……"
"The person I'm looking for today is indeed you..."
After a moment of silence, the strange woman nodded again.
Of course, what she may never know is that the person she was originally looking for and the person she wanted to save against certain principles had already been "kindly" burned by Anne before she appeared here. Turned into ashes, and the kind that can never be saved again?
But fortunately, the other party didn't know about that matter, and Anne also didn't take that little thing to heart.
"??"
く(＾_・)ゝ
"The person you are looking for? But, what are you looking for?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Annie blinked, then stood back a step, no longer playing with the so-called 'blessing point' that had become a bit boring.
"..."
"You don't seem to know what happened?"
After hesitating for a moment, the woman hidden in the cloak thought about it, and then suddenly asked this question.
"??"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"what do you know?"
∑(´△｀)? !
Anne said she had no idea what the other person was talking about!
Anyway, what the other party said was a bit strange and garbled, as if he and she were not on the same channel at all.
"Yeah……"
"It seems that you really don't know, and you don't have a witch by your side?"
"Then let me analyze it a little for you..."
Hearing Annie's words, the strange woman nodded first, then shook her head, and finally seemed to be sure of something.
"Witch?"
(´･_･`)
"Why do people have to have witches with them?"
く(＾_・)ゝ
Anne thought quietly, and her mind was filled with questions.
Because there is absolutely no need to be a witch. After all, she can be said to be a witch herself, and ah, she is still the most, most, most, most, most, most... (omitting billions here) ) The most powerful kind?
As for the other witches...
Inside the door of the Prince's Chapel at the back, there is a dead one against the wall behind the door. And Anne seemed to have forgotten to burn it just now?
But it doesn’t matter whether you burn it or not. You will die anyway. Whether it is set on fire and turned into energy and gas, or eaten by wild wolves and dogs and turned into soil, there is no big difference. Anyway, All have to enter the inner cycle of this planet.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"Is such that……"
However, the strange woman didn't pay attention to Anne's whisper and just continued to talk to herself.
It turns out, I don’t know since when, the people in the Exiled Land learned this message through the fallen leaves of the golden tree:
On the other side of this fog, at the junction, the great Elden Ring has been broken. 'Eternal Queen' Malika has disappeared. On the night of the black knife conspiracy, 'Golden' Godwin was the first to lose his life. Malika's son, half The gods obtained the fragments of Elden's Circle.
Then, the Shard War breaks out!
In the end, the supreme will banished them...
Subsequently, the long-lost blessing once again returned to the faded ones and issued a strong call to the faded ones. The supreme will urgently required the faded ones to move towards the other side of the fog and reach the other side of the fog as soon as possible. At the junction, go under the golden tree to meet the great Ring of Elden and become the new King of Elden!
"..."
After slowly relaying the story, the woman didn't speak anymore. She just watched and observed Anne silently through the cloak hood that covered half of her face. She just stared at Anne's every move, not knowing what she was thinking. What.
"oh!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"The story is pretty good, but what next?"
(´◠◡◠`)
Annie didn't care about things like demigods fighting over family property, so after listening, she continued to ask directly.
"..."
The woman still didn't speak, but silently reached out and took off the hood on her head, revealing her pretty face with short brown-red hair and a delicate face.
but……
I don’t know what happened, but at this time, her left eye was closed?
Or it can be said that her left eye has always been closed, and only one right eye is open and looking at Anne?
Moreover, there is a weird tattoo or symbol that looks like a three-finger claw on the lid of the closed left eye?
"Huh?"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"Miss, are your eyes injured?"
|ू･ω･`)
"Do you want someone to help you treat it?"
(*^▽^*)
Seeing that the other party was obviously very beautiful, but her left eye was closed, she thought the other party was Anne who was injured, so she asked carelessly and kindly.
"Ah!"
"Those who come through the fog..."
"My name is Melina..."
It's a pity that the woman didn't pay attention to Annie, nor did she give any explanation about her left eye. She just stared at Annie for a long time with her open right eye. After realizing that she couldn't see clearly, she finally He slowly began to introduce himself.
"oh!"
(✪ω✪)
"This is Anne, Anne Hastur!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
Although there was something strange about the other party, Anne didn't think too much and said her name generously.
"Annie?"
"very good……"
"That's right, I think..."
"Let me negotiate a deal with you!"
After introducing each other, Melina hurriedly opened her mouth and formally stated her purpose of visit in order to prevent Annie from bringing the topic to something irrelevant.
"condition?"
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
"You're so good, why do I want to negotiate terms with you?"
(゜-゜)
Anne was just a little confused and didn't understand what the other party meant by suddenly saying that.
"Annie..."
"Do you know the Finger Witch?"
Melinda was not annoyed when she saw that Annie was so unreasonable and did not play her cards according to the routine or talk to her. She just pondered for a while before continuing to ask slowly.
"Finger Witch?"
(・_・)ヾ
"I do not know……"
~(・◇・)
Anne shook her head blankly, indicating that she really didn't know this.
Anyway, she knew the witch's fingers. In the Prince's Chapel, the dead witch had ten fingers, and she, Queen Anne, also had ten.
"They refer to the people who serve 'Two Fingers' and help and guide faded ones like you."
"but……"
"I see, you don't have a witch by your side..."
Melinda tried her best to bring the topic to the main topic as carefully as possible. This was the big event that she had come all the way here tonight, but she couldn't be careless at all.
"!!"
(；￢_￢)
"But I'm not a fading person!"
(;¬д¬)
"Besides, I don't need guidance, and I don't need a witch!"
(´～｀；)
Anne reveals that she is a powerful witch herself!
Furthermore, this is not the first time that she has been called a 'Faded One'. The guy who was hacked to death by her just now called her that. Moreover, the dead witch seemed to have similar words written on the ground. , and now it's fine. The other party in front of me, Miss Melinda, has said it several times, which makes her a little strange.
"Yeah?"
"Are you sure you don't need guidance?"
Melina asked rhetorically.
"do not worry."
"If possible, I can take their place..."
Soon, without waiting for Annie to answer, Melina hurriedly extended her olive branch, seemingly impatiently.
"??"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"But, what can you do?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Can you cook something delicious?"
(=^▽^=)
Blinking, Anne, who was about to refuse, thought about it for a moment, then suddenly blinked, smiled and asked expectantly.
If the other party can cook that kind of delicious food, maybe Queen Anne can show mercy and let the other party follow her to 'guide' her and make delicious food for her every day?
"this……"
"I won't!"
After hesitating for a while, Melina finally shook her head honestly, saying that she was not good at making food suitable for little girls.
"That!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Do you know there's delicious food there?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Anne quickly asked again.
It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cook, Anne can't cook anyway, and besides, she has all kinds of countless delicious things, and she can't finish them in a while. As long as the other party can lead the way, she can also take her own time. Find the good stuff that suits her taste.
"I……"
"have no idea……"
Opening her mouth, Melina lowered half of the eyelids of her open eye and shook her head again honestly.
"ah?"
(^～^;)
"That……"
(°ー°〃)
"Then do you know where there is something fun?"
୧(๑•̀⌄•́๑)૭
Anne frowned her cute little brows first, then pursed her lips and thought for a while, then hurriedly asked the last question with some hope.
"..."
Melina didn't answer and just lowered her head.
Obviously, her expressions and movements have told Annie that she doesn't know where there is fun in this world, and she has never really cared about that kind of thing.
She only cares about issues related to the life and death of this world, such as the Golden Rule, the Ring of Elden, the Faded One, the Royal City, the King of Elden, etc.!
As for other things, those things are not important to her.
"Really!"
(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)
"I don't know how to do this, and I don't know about that. Then why do they need your guidance?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Annie folded her arms and sat down on a brick nearby with some disdain and angrily. At the same time, she pouted and complained with disgust on her face.
"I……"
"I can guide you to use blessing points and turn the runes you collect into your power!"
"Make you stronger?"
Melina suddenly raised her head and spoke decisively, showing that she was not useless.
"strength?"
(ー`´ー)
"But, people don't want power..."
(´•︵•`)
“People just want something delicious and fun!”
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
Yes, this is the main purpose of Anne coming to this world!
At the same time, it is also the main purpose of her going to any world. As for power, she has never really pursued that kind of thing!
You know, she captured the ferocious shadow bear alive at the age of two, burned the domineering old dragon to death at the age of three, broke through to the hero level at the age of five, was close to the demigod at the age of eight, and now she is already a fighter at just over eight years old. There are many invincible opponents in the universe and all realms. Will she be the kind of boring guy who needs strength?
(…)
(￢㉨￢.)
Moreover, the guy in front of her doesn't look very strong, he's just ordinary. He probably can't even defeat the little apprentices of Queen Anne. So, why does she need him to guide her and get the power of Lao Shizi? strength?
"But……"
"As long as you are still demanding the Elden Ring, this matter will definitely be helpful to you."
"Could it be..."
"Don't you want to be the King of Elden?"
Melina spoke hurriedly, her tone becoming a little more hurried, but only a little, because her expression was still the same without too many waves.
"King of Elden?"
(ಠ~ಠ)
"Repay the Dharma Ring?"
₍₍٩(＿＿*)₎₎
Anne suddenly remembered, what's that 'Elden'? She seemed to have seen it in front of the dead witch lady before. It seemed that the witch had also written such a passage?
"But I'm not interested!"
(ಠ╭╮ಠ)
Then, Anne directly expressed her truest thoughts without any politeness at all.
Come to think of it, 'Elden's Ring' or something like that, you know it's not going to be delicious!
As for the King of Elden, she is even less curious about it!
Because she is a queen herself, and ah, she is also the queen and owner of many worlds and planes. How can she like this messy world in front of her that has incomplete rules?
"..."
Melina was silent.
Obviously, she had been planning for a long time, but she never thought that she would meet a 'Faded One' like Anne. Although the other party was very powerful, he came here and was found by her, but the result...
The negotiations between the two parties seem to be somewhat unsatisfactory?
"Don't you think about it?"
As a last resort, after a long hesitation, Melina asked again.
"Not consider!"
o(´^｀)o
Annie crossed her arms, as if she didn't want to talk or give the other party a chance.
"..."
Seeing that Annie still looked so reluctant, Melina was a little dumbfounded.
However, she was unwilling to retreat or leave.
After all, what she just saw was that Anne used a magic to chop the descendant of the 'Arthropod' nobleman alive. Both the potential and the power were undoubtedly great. She firmly believed that the little girl in front of her was the person she was looking for, so, said I don’t want to give up on anything easily.
"Anyway..."
"I still hope you can take me to the foot of the golden tree..."
"correct!"
"This ring is for you..."
So, after a moment of silence, Melina reached out and took out a ring.
"??"
!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
"Why do you want to give someone something?"
(′～`●)
"Then, what's the use of it?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
After looking at it, although she was a little curious, Anne did not reach out to take it.
"It's the 'Spirit Horse Whistle'."
"When you need to go on a long journey, you can try to blow it and summon the soul of this horse named 'Torrett'."
"You do not know?"
"Torrett carried me to find you, and it chose you..."
As she spoke, Melina called her hand, and the 'wildebeest' not far behind her instantly turned into a spiritual light and entered the ring.
"!!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"So it's 'Torrett'?"
(*^▽^*)
"But forget it!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"I don't want to go riding a bull!"
(*╹▽╹*)
Without thinking, Annie quickly waved her hand and rejected the other party with a smile.
Because, as a mount, Annie has Tibbers the bear, and riding a bear is much more majestic and comfortable than riding a horse, it's comfortable and soft!
Moreover, Tibbs would help her fight and bite people when she didn't want to do anything or had no time to sleep. In comparison, what use was the other's ugly, stupid cow?
(…)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
As for long-distance movement, let alone that. Wouldn't it be nice for Queen Anne to just use the portal or other teleportation spells?
Besides, they had just met each other, and they were not very familiar with each other. Why did the other party want to be so attentive to her so quickly?
Anyway, she won't be fooled like some idiots!
"..."
Melina's outstretched hand froze, and her face and open right eye were full of helplessness. Of course, there was also a look of bewilderment, not knowing what to say.
Because the little girl in front of her seemed to be completely out of touch with the routine. None of the words she had prepared before could be used at this moment?
