"this……"
Melina also raised her eyebrows, obviously hesitating.
The blessed light like a firefly reflected softly on her delicate face, and her closed eyes also added a mysterious attraction.
She seemed a little hesitant, because in fact, she was only the temporary master of Torett, not the real owner of Torett. Strictly speaking, Torrett has no real master yet. According to the original plan, she was originally going to help Lingma choose a faded person she thought was suitable, and then entrust him to him...
Because the spirit horse has the ability to choose its master, just like the beast is attracted to heroes and kings, the spirit horse is just more sensitive in this regard.
Therefore, the chosen fader should be a hero with royal status.
Logically speaking, this is how it should be. As long as Torret chooses the corresponding fader, she can negotiate terms with it. He helps the selected faded ones and guides them forward, and then in turn, he can use the power of the faded ones to truly reach the location of the golden tree.
It was supposed to be like this...
However, the plan was too late to unfold, or no matter how ideal the idea was, it could not keep up with the changes in the real world. The specific manifestation is that Toret did not even have time to choose the master, and the era of the golden tree was over. .
Even the supreme will was repulsed by a greater existence, and the junction area was directly replaced by a new sky...
Because of this, the mission of being a kindling for fire, throwing oneself into a cauldron, and burning trees naturally disappeared, leaving no room for further discussion.
Therefore, Melina also felt at a loss about this.
Who are you? Where are you? What should I do?
It seems that a life with clear goals suddenly fell into confusion.
Now the witch Rena from across the street came to her door again and said that she wanted to transfer something to herself, the current owner of Toret. This naturally made the girl feel a little hesitant.
"Please accept it, don't have any doubts, I am only entrusted by others... Although I don't really want to talk about the past, but this commission has indeed been accepted for a long, long time, so long that I almost forgot, I only have a chance to finish it today.”
Still keeping her big witch hat low, and hiding her petite body under the snow-white cloak, Lani tried her best not to reveal her abnormal figure, such as her doll-like body texture, and her surroundings. Only the arm, etc., just said softly.
"Or I'll just put it here. If you are interested, you can take it away. How to deal with it later is your business..."
As she said this, she casually placed the bell-like thing on the wall.
Melina frowned. How about holding it for herself first and then handing it over to Torret after he finds the real owner?
"Next...where are you going?"
The doll girl raised her eyes slightly, although from the perspective of the church, she could still only see the smooth lower jaw exposed under the wide witch hat. She asked like this, seeming to be quite interested in Melina's next trip.
Of course, there is also the strange young man next to him——
It wasn't just the misunderstanding that had affected Lani's mentality, so she wanted to act as if nothing had happened and didn't want to be so embarrassed. It was because she also discovered that this man's power was quite extraordinary and should not be underestimated, so she paid more attention to him.
This person's existence is like a blazing oven. Even next to the blessing, the warmth brought by the blessing's light is actually far inferior to this heat.
It's just that most people can't detect it, or her own practice of cold magic has reached a very advanced level, just like her brother Latarn's gravity magic, and she relies on her spiritual power at the demigod level to be able to Discover this.
The light and warmth seemed to last day and night...
Is it really the power of the sun?
——Lani thought thoughtfully about this.
After all, the current junction area is full of vitality and everything is competing. As long as it is not deviant, it will not be deliberately suppressed. Just like the residents of the junction area who have regained their sanity, they still habitually want to pray for the favor of gold and are eager to follow gold. The tradition of trees——
Even if you have such a belief, you will not be punished, and you will not even be ordered to change or forced to change. Everything seems to be free.
So under such circumstances, it seems that it is not impossible for the former belief in the sun to return.
It is said that it is an existence that resembles a magic ring, but just like the black moon that was once shattered, the sun was also eroded and lost its color in a certain historical period... The belief in the colorless sun has long declined, and even the Sun City has Does not exist in the world.
So for a while, Lani was not completely sure, but she was still vaguely certain... There was still a bit of uncertainty, and she also tended to suspect that the other party came from the far northern border and was a very powerful flame habit. A first-class martial monk.
Because on the top of the giant mountain in the north, the giant fire is still burning.
That's where the junction ends and where the surface temperature is the hottest. The martial arts monks are the monitors of the giant flame, but they are also being eroded unconsciously over time.
The flame attracts those who look at it──
Therefore, the flame watchers are also believers in flames.
It can only be said that the Princess of the Moon is still very thoughtful, but her ideas are not bold enough. But he was partly right. The power of the sun was indeed flowing through someone's body, but it was a biological engine that existed in the cell, a nanomachine-level room-temperature nuclear fusion device.
It is truly the best embodiment of the combination of mystery and technology——
It also allows his clone to master a considerable part of the power of the stars, and has the perfect foundation to trigger the killing method and transform into a majestic sun.
"Me? Next I want to walk around the junction to see where the world will go in the future..." The young man in white clothes and black hair said with a slight smile.
"Is that so..." Under the witch's hat, the doll girl nodded slightly. She seemed to be a promising young man with some ideals. If he could convince the other party, he might be able to draw a blueprint for the future of the border area and provide him with a large degree of Help?
It was just that they had just met, and the rash words to win over her seemed very eager for quick success and too purposeful, so she didn't say anything and looked at Melina again.
"I...I don't know. I should probably walk around the junction first..."
Melina thought for a moment and sighed. She really didn't know what she should do now.
"Have you not seen the future clearly yet?" the doll girl said softly, with a hint of smile in her tone, "Then go look for it first and find the reason to call you. Maybe in the near future, we will There’s no telling if they will become competitors.”
"……What?"
Melina couldn't help but raise her eyebrows again, but after observing the other party carefully, she found that the other party was not provoking or threatening, but just seemed to be saying something very certain, as if he had concluded some inference.
"Isn't it? Today, the world is still in ruins. It has been a long time since the war, and a new era has begun. However, the new law has not come for a long time. People say that this is the lack of the king, the divine. The Black Moon is waiting for the King of Elden to appear.”
The night was quiet and the wind was slightly cool.
Inside the lonely church on the hill, amid the alternating light and shadow of the blessed light and the dark night, Lani sat on the low wall, speaking so quietly, simply and directly.
"I don't deny that I have such thoughts. After all, this is a curse. Just like as long as I was a human, I would definitely pursue the Elden Ring... Since I will follow the same path, I will naturally be my opponent in the future. "
She gave up on the path to becoming a god, so naturally the only option was to become the king.
The doll girl had no doubts about this, and made up her mind with unusual clarity.
only……
"Well, no, I don't have such an idea..."
Melina was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the other party might have misunderstood something. Although this kind of frank and clear explanation, and not shy about hiding her own thoughts, was indeed very admirable, but she still Want to clarify-
I have no such idea!
Even in the past, I only wanted to guide the chosen people and help them walk on the road to become the King of Elden, rather than embark on this road to becoming the king myself.
"Don't doubt it. You may be confused right now, but Torrett will never choose the wrong person..."
The doll girl said calmly, glancing outside the church and looking at the divine horse with determination.
"You just don't have such an awareness yet, but sooner or later you will understand why you want to fight and what you want to protect...even if it is just to show the arrival of the era you long for, and to make the world become what you imagined. The beauty in it.”
"That's it. I'm sorry to bother you. I hope we can meet again one day... maybe it won't be too far away."
Leaving such words faintly, like the white snow melting in the dark night, the petite girl wearing the hat and cloak of the Snow Witch seemed to have turned into starlight material, spreading out like the gathering fireflies. The night wind blew and disappeared.
The outlines faded and the figure no longer existed, as if it had never appeared before.
"..."
"..."
Only the one-eyed girl wearing the traveling witch suit was left, with a look of astonishment next to the blessing light. She also understood that the other party probably thought that she was the master chosen by Torrett, so she mistakenly thought that she had the status of a king. A hero, someone with such potential, right?
If the other party is indeed pursuing the goal of becoming the King of Elden, then it is normal for him to judge himself as an enemy.
This is a misunderstanding……
It should have been a misunderstanding, but... thinking about the last words the other party said, the girl suddenly felt a little touched in her heart.
——Even if it’s just to show the arrival of the era that you long for?
——Want to make the world a beautiful place in your imagination?
After considering this thought, she sighed softly, shook her head, then walked to where the witch lady was sitting, and took down the item from the wall.
A simple and somewhat old bell.
"This is the soul-summoning bell. Using its power, you can summon souls from the ashes that have not returned to the golden tree as a medium. They will temporarily recognize you as their master and recreate the way they fought during their lives..." A faint voice From the side, the young man in white clothes and black hair said with interest.
"yes……"
Melina nodded slightly. She also recognized the true identity of this thing, so she frowned and looked at the bell in her hand.
This is a very ancient and powerful magic catalyst, but it requires powerful combat ashes to show the corresponding powerful combat effectiveness... If used properly, it will be very helpful, but it is not like this. There is probably nothing we can do about it...
"Then Miss Melina, do you need to buy something?"
His thoughts were interrupted midway, and the voice continued to come from the side.
She looked up subconsciously and found that the strange young man solemnly took out items from his wide sleeves and arranged them neatly on the ground like merchandise. Many of them exuded strong magic power, which made people laugh. Secretly shocked.
"To be honest, I actually work part-time as a traveling businessman... I just collected a lot of ashes some time ago. Do you want to take a look? The pumpkin-headed soldier's is very good, and the ashes of the lost knight. It’s also very useful. Finally, I highly recommend this imitation teardrop ashes, a specialty of the Eternal City…”
In an instant, he changed into the tone, tone and smile of a professional salesman.
I just don’t know why…
It was obviously a serious sales pitch, but the girl always felt a very strong sense of malice, and she even seemed to hear a faint sense of joking in the other person's tone...
It must be an illusion...
She shook her head slightly, looked at the many powerful battle ashes listed by the opponent like a stall, and then subconsciously looked at the bell in her hand.
Is this... destiny?
The power came to the door so easily, as if it was at your fingertips, as if it was pushing yourself forward.
Thinking back to the witch Miss Lena just now, she was a little unsure at this moment. Could she really become a competitor with her?
…………
(PS: Some didn’t sleep enough, and some had stomach upsets...but my condition should be better today, emmmm, it should be...)
