Prince's Chapel.
It is located to the west of Stonewell City, on the island opposite the cliff mountain. It is only separated from Stonewell Castle by a narrow strait, just like the lighthouse of Stonewell City.
And if, in that kind of clear weather, someone stood on the wall of Stonewell Castle on the west coast, they would probably be able to clearly see the gate of the Prince's Chapel and the broken masonry eaves or pillars. The pattern on it?
And now, a certain bad little girl is back here again.
"..."
o(▽｀ o)=3 =3 =3
Anne did not pay attention to the 'magma pourer' knights on the island who were busy cleaning up the Prince's Chapel, saying that they were preparing to repair it into a stronghold and incorporate it into the defense circle of Stonewell City. She was just looking after herself. Jumping forward on his own feet.
Speaking of which, even Anne herself didn't expect that she would come back here again, and also in that kind of master's capacity?
If you think about it carefully, that is indeed quite dramatic.
Although, Anne herself never wanted to be the master of this place, nor did she want to be the king of Stonewell City. However, she was so mean at that time that she couldn't help but pick up those innocent people. The injured souls and ashes of the victims were mixed together, and they were directly summoned in the form of "magma pourers", and they were also given free movement and physical form of "life"?
So, of course, she was supported by those guys and became the king of Stonewell City, and she was the kind of person who couldn't even think about it.
But it doesn't really matter if she is Anne herself or not. After all, she has been the king of many times, including this one.
So, since they insist on letting her take the job, she can take it. Anyway, it's just a name. She doesn't really take care of things, so she doesn't need to care too much!
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"Eh?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Suddenly, Annie seemed to hear some movement in front of her.
"??"
|˛˙꒳˙)
Then, looking at the place where the sound came from, it seemed that it was in the direction of the main door of the main hall of the Prince's Chapel where she had just appeared. After thinking about it, she hurriedly walked over while listening.
"Hello!"
"What to do with this body?"
"ah!"
"She seems to be a witch?"
"Yes, look, there are words on the ground. Isn't it a witch?"
"Character?"
"King of Elden?"
"So, she is the finger witch, the one responsible for guiding the faded ones?"
"That should be it."
"This is really rare. It's the first time I see a witch with fingers. However, after being here for so long, why hasn't she transformed into that kind of dead person?"
"I don't know..."
"Is that so?"
"Then shall we bury her or burn her directly?"
"It's better to burn it..."
"That's fine!"
When Anne walked inside the main entrance, she saw two magma pourers standing next to the body. After discussing for a while, they planned to move the body that was leaning against the wall motionless. corpse of witch.
"You guys wait a minute!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
Upon seeing this, Annie, who felt a little strange about their conversation just now, quickly stopped her, then walked over quickly, and then looked at the body of the witch girl carefully.
"She is still here..."
(○ﾟεﾟ○)
After the two people saluted and respectfully stepped away, Anne saw that the dead witch girl was still leaning there, and she had not been eaten by wild wolves, wild dogs or mice.
However, what was different from the first time she saw it was that the other person's body, which was still fresh before, had gradually turned into a shriveled and pale corpse, and the blood on the ground and body had long dried up and turned into a corpse. The moldy dark brown color was gone, and only those few magic words were still shining with white fluorescence as stubbornly as when she first saw them.
'Even if your guidance is broken, you will be the King of Elden. '
"..."
(o・・o)
"Eh?"
(◎o◎)!
After looking at the words on the ground, and then at the body of the witch girl, Annie suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and she couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"??"
"??"
Hearing the exclamations, the two people next to them naturally cast inquiring glances at Anne. However, they did not dare to make a mistake. They still stood aside and watched Anne look towards the witch. The corpse held out its hand.
"..."
☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ
Soon, the two people were surprised to find that as a golden light appeared on their queen's hand, the corpse of the shriveled, pale and almost mummified witch actually became plump and rosy in the next moment, as if it had been washed away. It's like there's blood in it?
Immediately afterwards, something even more unbelievable happened to them: the witch who was obviously dead, at this time, the fingers of the other party that had become white and tender again started to move slowly, and then, in less than two breaths, , actually slowly opened his eyes?
"A-live?"
"My king..."
"Is this a miracle?"
Upon seeing this, of course the two of them knelt down half-kneeling towards Anne and began to pray softly.
Obviously, they know that resurrecting the dead is not as simple as summoning their souls and ashes and returning to the world in a physical shell. Resurrection has that kind of divine power that only the former Golden Tree can possess.
But now, the Elden Ring is broken, and the golden tree has lost the ability to grant blessings. But what shocks them is that right now, right in front of their eyes, their queen has the ability to instantly make a dead person If a person has the ability to resurrect, then what kind of existence she is and her true identity is almost ready to be revealed in their hearts.
"alright!"
(*^▽^*)
"Young lady is really beautiful!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
However, Anne had no time to pay attention to the two people next to her. Only when she saw the delicate and kind-faced witch girl reopened her eyes and looked towards her did she finally sigh in relief and move toward them. A grimace.
"This place is about to be demolished now. If you can move, leave quickly!"
୧(‾◡◝)୨ꔛ♩
Originally, she didn't want to deal with such nonsense.
But just now, when the two people behind her were about to move the body of the little witch sister, she took another look and noticed that the other party's soul seemed to be taken away maliciously?
So, without even thinking about it, she immediately resurrected the other party. At the same time, she also snatched the other party's soul back from the hands of some evil guy in the distance, and then stuffed it into the other party's activation box. inside the body.
Now, I guess a certain bad guy must have a confused look on his face, right?
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"you……"
"Is he the one I'm waiting for?"
However, to Anne's surprise, the other party had no intention of leaving. He just looked up at her first, then at the two knights behind her who were saluting and praying. Then after thinking about it, he suddenly sat up straight. He raised his body and moved towards her with excitement.
"Very good!"
"Finally waiting for you."
"I, Serolina, hereby swear that I will definitely help you become the King of Elden!"
"I promise!"
"must!"
Then, the other party slowly crawled down, and while giving a big salute to Anne, he also firmly promised.
"Alas!?"
!? (•''•۶)۶
"that……"
(ʘ̆ωʘ̥̆‖)՞
"Little sister, have you mistakenly recognized the person? It seems that he is not the person you are waiting for. He has never seen you before!!"
=͟͟͞͞(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇)!!
Seeing the other party's actions and hearing the other party's words, Anne was of course shocked!
Then, of course, she hurriedly waved her hands and explained, correcting the other party quietly and nervously.
"??"
"It can't be wrong!"
"I feel it. It's a very kind atmosphere. You must be the one I'm waiting for!"
Unfortunately, to Anne's disappointment, the witch who just called herself Serolina was just stunned, then frowned slightly and felt it for a while, and then quickly shook her head and smiled, and said He said it seriously.
"impossible!"
₍₍٩(＿＿*)₎₎
"You feel warm because someone just saved you, so..."
(O ^~^ O)
"In short, he is really not the person you are waiting for. Moreover, he is not a fader. He is really not the person you are waiting for."
(๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ)
Anne has long known that the Finger Witch is waiting for the Faded One. It is said that what kind of blessing will lead the two to meet. Looking at the past, this has always been the case. There has never been a mistake?
Therefore, she did not hesitate at all, and directly explained and rejected her identity as a fader.
"ah?"
"What is a fader?"
After blinking, the beautiful witch Serolina, who was kneeling on the ground, asked Anne in confusion.
"!!"
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
"you……"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
"Is your brain broken?"
Σ(°△ °|||)︴
Hearing the other party's words and looking at the other party's silly expression, Anne suddenly didn't know what to say, and carefully moved towards the other party, and began to blink her big green eyes and look carefully. got up.
If she read it correctly, the other party should be a two-fingered witch who would serve a faded person, guide the faded person and convey the instructions of the two-fingered person, etc., just like what Melina told her before ?
"Oops!"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
"It seems to be really broken..."
(ŏ﹏ŏ、)
"Is it because the soul was destroyed by someone? Although it was repaired when I brought it back, it seems that some memories were damaged..."
━(◯Δ◯∥)━ン
It didn't take long for Annie to figure out why.
It turns out that this little witch named Serolina’s soul was taken away by some unscrupulous guy and subjected to a series of clumsy transformations. Just now, although she, the omnipotent arcana, had The Archmage was snatched back from a distance and repaired and resurrected successfully. However, I don't know if it was because the opponent's body had been left for too long or because the opponent's soul had been damaged, or because it was both?
Anyway, the final result is like this. Some of the other party's key memories seem to be partially missing?
"What's wrong?"
"Any questions?"
Witch Serolina didn't know why Annie looked at her so strangely, she just blinked and asked innocently.
Then, after waiting for a while, she saw that Annie was silent. Somehow, she suddenly wanted to reach out her hand, as if she wanted to touch Annie's delicate and fragile face?
"!!"
(ﾟﾛﾟﾉ)ﾉ
Unfortunately, before the other party could touch her, Annie got excited and easily dodged it.
"All right!"
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
After looking at the other party for a while, although she discovered the key to the problem, Annie had no intention of continuing to help.
Because, to deal with it, you need to distort time and then retrieve the other person's memory, and then smooth out the distorted time flow. In Anne's opinion, that kind of thing is still a bit troublesome. Moreover, she is not very familiar with the other person and doesn't want to think about it very much. To do so many things for each other.
"Anyway!"
₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎
"Whatever you think!"
(ʃƪ˘ ³˘)
"I'm going somewhere else to play. Goodbye!"
ヾ(⌒∇⌒*)~♪
Trouble or something, as long as you stay away from it, it will naturally no longer be a trouble.
Therefore, Annie didn't even think about it, and regardless of what the other party and the two people behind her thought, she turned around and walked out.
"ah!"
"etc!"
"I waited for you with great difficulty, please accept my guidance!"
Seeing that Annie was about to leave, the witch Serolina naturally refused to comply and struggled to stand up. Then she quickly chased out without putting on her shoes, barefoot.
"oops!"
!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
"What are you doing? I don't need your guidance!"
o(*｀ー´)o
"oops!"
(ʘ̆ωʘ̥̆‖)՞
"Look at you, you are smelly and dirty. You haven't washed yourself in a long time. Stay away from others..."
｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡
Soon, as the increasingly impatient voice of a troubled little girl got farther and farther away, the hall of the Prince's Chapel gradually returned to calm.
"..."
"..."
I don't know how long it took, but the two 'Magma Casters' and the two Anne's 'Fire Eye Knights' finally finished their prayers, then stood up again, and after looking at each other, they quickly He continued to engage in the intense work of cleaning up the ruins of the island.
…
Almost at the same time, on the city wall next to the main entrance of Stonewell Castle, a man with graying hair but still wearing a worn-out chainmail stood in front of the battlements of the city wall, silently looking at the ring in front of him at the foot of the cliff. The dilapidated and deserted city in a circle stood in a daze.
"..."
After a while, the big tree guard wearing golden plate armor appeared behind him with heavy steps, and walked to stand next to him without saying a word.
"General."
"Tell me, did we do something wrong?"
"If we could come back earlier and do something earlier, this place wouldn't be like this, right?"
That's right, he is the deputy general uncle whom Anne met in the Nimgefu Wilderness Woodland before.
However, although the other party has now returned to his hometown and the city of Stonewell, his mood is not very good.
"I have no idea."
"It's probably useless to come back early..."
"Maybe……"
"It's this world that's wrong, right?"
With a sigh, the big tree guard held up the arrow stack and looked wordlessly at the golden tree above the sky, which was even dimmer than before.
He knew that his good friend and lieutenant had returned home once during the day, but where else could he have a home here in Stonewell City?
Here, under Greg's rule, the so-called home is just a desolate ruin covered by weeds.
"..."
"General."
"you say……"
"Your home in the royal city, has it become like this?"
The two were silent for a while, and suddenly, the deputy general asked bitterly.
"Empire?"
"No……"
"I have no idea……"
"Maybe it will be a little better than here, right?"
Regarding the royal city, the big tree guards have heard of it.
It is said that the bad omen king Mengt has no intention of pursuing Rune. The other party has been guarding the royal city and repelled waves of invaders, barely maintaining order in the royal city?
Furthermore, there should be no madman in the royal city like Greg who thinks about limb replacement all day long. Therefore, even if it has been affected by wars for many years, I think it will not be as dilapidated and desolate as here in Stonewell City. Not to mention that you can’t see many lights at night.
"Yeah?"
The lieutenant suddenly stopped talking and continued to stand silently on the battlements looking at the dilapidated city under the night.
"Be more open-minded."
"It will get better slowly!"
Not knowing what to comfort him, in the end, the big tree guard just stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder. Then after thinking about it, he turned around and left slowly with some emotion.
It was getting late now, and a certain little girl should have come back. He didn't know if the other party would meet him at this time. After thinking about it, he didn't plan to stay any longer, but went straight to his place in the castle. Walk to the residence.
"..."
"Get better?"
Above the sky, the golden tree still covered most of the sky, but what was different from before was that it no longer emitted strong golden light, and could no longer block the song singing outside the starry sky. A little bit of stardust.
"Ah!"
"impossible……"
"It's not even getting better..."
"Will this world really get better?"
"..."
The deputy general muttered something as if talking to himself.
He knew that the Ring of Elden had long been broken, the golden tree had lost its blessing, the demigods were becoming increasingly crazy, the stars were peering at the land, and the shadow of war still shrouded everyone. For this broken world, for his disintegrated home, and for his family whose life and death he did not know, he, a mere mortal, could no longer see the future direction and had no high expectations.
perhaps......
One day, he himself will become the kind of zombie-like zombie, right?
