Snap.
Su Ziyu's figure fell directly from the sky.
The newly resurrected Sister Fried seemed to have a slightly dazed expression. When her eyes fell on Su Ziyu, she was still confused for a moment, but then she completely regained consciousness. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the pair of strange sickles appeared directly in front of her. Then the nun stood up very politely, leaned slightly towards Su Ziyu and said with a calm expression: "The unknown king."
"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
The other party's condition seemed a bit weak. With spiritual perception, Su Ziyu could vaguely feel that the nun's soul was like a hole, and something seemed to be flowing through it.
It should be human nature.
Although the undead can be resurrected, they will lose some of their humanity and memory every time they die, and in the end they will directly turn into crazy wandering souls.
Human nature is a very complex thing.
It includes human emotions in various senses, that is, the seven emotions and six desires, and also includes various physical perceptions, such as appetite, touch, material desires, etc. The two undead people Su Ziyu has met so far There is almost no pain at all.
"Do you want to fight again?"
Su Ziyu's expression showed a hint of helplessness and sighed: "Can't we just sit down and chat casually?"
Killing these undead people has no source of power points.
In other words, they are not polluters at all, they are just a group of tool people used to continue the Age of Fire. These people died and were resurrected, resurrected and died again. When spreading the fire, they had to be dug out of the grave to continue. use.
To be honest, Su Ziyu felt that they were quite pitiful.
The so-called mission of continuing the Age of Fire and the ideal of saving the world were completely imposed on these undead people.
So what if it succeeds
They should continue to enter the tomb, and they should be burned to ashes or a pile of embers in the first fire. At most, the next time they need to pass the fire, they will become tool men again and be resurrected. I don’t know how long the sword has been in the dust.
"Aren't you going to kill me outright?"
Sister Friede's expression was slightly strange, as if she was torn between longing for death but fearing death. She stared at the Su Ziyu in front of her and said softly: "You are the salary king."
"I am an ember without fire."
"If you kill me completely now, you will have one less enemy in the future."
I can't stay in this world for long.
Why do we have to fight to the death with you undead people
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "Why is it necessary?"
"You attacked me because you are an ember without fire, and it is your duty to perform the ritual of passing the fire."
"I resisted because I didn't want to, and I didn't care about the mission."
"The title King Xin was just imposed on me by some ghost hiding in the corner."
"I'll find it sooner or later."
Su Ziyu had long discovered a problem, that is, the two undead men who attacked him had a strange sense of resistance to spreading fire. Hawkwood lost his fighting spirit after being suppressed for a while, and Fried The nun obviously had other ways to fight, but she chose to fight Su Ziyu head-on. There was a vague illusion that she was here to die.
After hearing Su Ziyu's words, Sister Fried's expression showed a hint of doubt, as if she was thinking, and the two sickles she held in her hands also dropped gently.
At this moment, Su Ziyu also asked the most crucial sentence. He said in a deep voice: "Actually, you don't want to spread the flames."
"Is it right?"
Sister Fried couldn't help but tremble when she heard the words. She raised her head and stared at Su Ziyu in front of her without speaking, but her teeth slightly bit the corner of her lip, obviously she was in a struggle inside.
"The fire-passing ceremony continues."
Su Ziyu's thoughts became clearer and clearer. He stared at Sister Fried in front of him and said solemnly: "But this world is still constantly corrupting and degenerating."
"There are more and more immortal wandering souls."
"There is almost not much life left, so what if the fire transmission is successful this time?"
"It's all just a matter of survival."
"It will eventually decay completely."
Su Ziyu has been in this world for more than a day. Apart from the two undead people who spread fire, there is only one monster contaminated by human pus that he can communicate with. Other than that, he has not encountered anyone else. A normal person.
This world is almost hopeless.
If spreading fire can really save the world, these undead people shouldn't lose their fighting spirit so easily. Su Ziyu's just a few tentative words made Sister Fried lose the desire to fight in front of her, and her expression also became slightly... Bewildered.
"What do you want from me?"
Sister Friede sat down gently, sitting next to the bonfire, with a pair of strange sickles casually placed beside her, as if she didn't care whether Su Ziyu would suddenly attack at this time.
She placed a white palm on top of the bonfire. The flames touched the back of her hand but did not leave any scars, but did not blend into it. Sister Fried just turned her back to Su Ziyu and watched silently. Bonfire, whispered: "I am just an ember without fire."
"It doesn't really help you much."
The opponent's desire to fight completely disappeared.
The perception brought by spirituality told Su Ziyu that Sister Fried in front of her was in a very strange state. It was like there was a black ring in her body, sucking a faint breath from the flame.
"Then let's chat casually?"
Su Ziyu also sat by the bonfire, facing Sister Fried in front of her, so that if anything went wrong, she could respond at any time.
Snapped.
He casually took out the demon gourd, poured a cup of fairy brew, then handed it to Sister Fried in front of him, and said slowly: "Would you like a cup?"
"No need." Sister Fried shook her head slightly and said, "Nuns are not allowed to drink alcohol."
"Besides, I've already lost my taste for food."
Pitiful.
Don't you even need to eat
Su Ziyu drank it all by himself, shook his head, and asked curiously: "Do you rely on the fire to replenish your energy? You don't need any food at all?"
"The undead don't need food." Sister Fried said softly.
No wonder.
Su Ziyu found that it was difficult to find normal food in this world. If the undead did not need food, it would probably be difficult for him to find some clean food himself, so he would have to use the reserved food resources sparingly.
Perhaps attracted by the smell of the fairy brew, Sister Fried's calm face changed slightly. She took out a slightly glowing bottle and took a sip of it towards the bonfire. Soon, something appeared on the surface of her body. There was a flash of sparks, and a warm breath of fire surged through her body.
This is the only drink in which the undead can feel.
—"Elemental bottle (wonderful object): unknown."
The content inside really looks like magma-like liquid, and Su Ziyu can feel a hint of hot breath through the campfire.
"Are you really not going to try?"
"In this world, it's hard to find a better wine than this." Su Ziyu smiled.
The Sister Fried in front of her was too calm, and sometimes she seemed like a wooden person. This should be the state after the loss of humanity. Su Ziyu was curious about whether she still had any desire for material things.
Sister Fried hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the wine poured by Su Ziyu. She picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Ahem.
The next second, a blush appeared on Sister Fried's face, as if she was drinking for the first time. Her eyes brightened slightly and she murmured: "This is impossible. I can actually taste it."
"wrong."
"It's not alcohol. It's pure energy."
"It's like a bottle of elements."
"Can you pour me another drink?"
Su Ziyu looked at Sister Friede who looked longingly in front of her, and almost understood a little bit about the state of the undead. It was not that they had no feelings at all, but they had just passively lost everything.
"Please." Su Ziyu smiled and filled her up.
Souls are very common in this world, and he has no shortage of raw materials for brewing. The souls dropped from Sister Fried's body are enough to be refined.
"It's a magical wine." Sister Fried drank another glass and stopped asking for it.
She was lost in thought.
These undead people are really strange. Hawkwood would mutter to himself. Sister Fried likes to be in a daze. After she was resurrected, she seemed to have been in a daze by the campfire. A normal person would just leave the area.
about there.
Su Ziyu looked at Sister Fried who seemed to be in a daze in front of her and asked softly: "Has anything major happened in this world recently?"
"Can you tell me about it?"
Sister Fried raised her head and glanced at Su Ziyu. Her attention was still on the bonfire in front of her, and she slowly said: "According to the ancient agreement, the second prince of Lothric will be the one who spreads the fire this time, but Lori Prince An protected the second prince."
"They refused to pass on the fire."
"The ancient bells are ringing, and the people at the Fire Sacrifice awaken us immortal embers to perform the Fire Ceremony necessary for the continuation of the world."
Refuse to spread fire
Looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be some bullshit salary king
There are also people among the indigenous people of this world who refuse to spread fire.
When Su Ziyu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me about these two princes."
Sister Fried looked up and stared at Su Ziyu in front of her. She thought for a while and said slowly: "Because of the loss of humanity, I have forgotten some of the past."
"So I can only tell you some of the things I know."
Su Ziyu nodded silently, feeling a little bit sympathetic to the nun in front of him.
It is said that the immortal ember will eventually forget his own name.
Sister Fried is a little better, at least she remembers her past. Those who can't even remember their names are the most pitiful, but these nameless embers are also the most terrifying. Historically, they were the ones who took away King Xin's head.
A bunch of pathetic undead people.
They are just a group of tool people who perform fire-passing rituals.
Soon, Su Ziyu obtained some of the most critical information in the world from Sister Fried.
The fire-passing ceremony in this world is held regularly. Except for the soul of the first-generation Xinwang Sun King-Gwen, which burned for a long, long time, the other Xinwang could not last long.
How long can the vitality of a world be sustained by just burning the souls of some strong men
Obviously it's not burned enough.
As a result, the time interval between the Fire Passing Ceremony became shorter and shorter, and in the end, it was even necessary to start training Xin Wang in advance, because there were not many strong people qualified to be Xin Wang.
The second prince of Lothric was a poor man who was regarded as the salary king just after he was born.
However, this second prince seems to be cursed and is frail and sick. In order to protect him, his brother Prince Lorian is willing to bear the curse with his brother. This makes their souls entangled together, so people usually call him Prince Lothric. It refers to two people. I don’t know when Prince Lothric began to resist the spread of the fire, and even directly opposed the continued spread of the fire, preparing to welcome the dark age after the flames were extinguished.
If King Xin refuses to pass the fire, it will naturally be the undead's turn.
But Prince Lorian is really awesome.
This eldest prince was a fierce man who led the army to the demon lair, and even single-handedly killed the demon prince born in the hotbed of chaos. Even if he shared the curse of his younger brother, he was not a strong man that ordinary people could deal with.
no way.
Supporters of spreading the fire can only ring the ancient bell to wake up the embers of the flame kings who once spread the fire.
In other words, a stronger group of undead embers were awakened.
But even so, the supporters of Chuanhuo still felt that it was not safe enough. They even woke up King Xin, who had been burned once before but was not completely dead.
These include the Deep Saint - Eldridge, the Giant King - Yumu, the Abyss Monitor - Farlan's Undead Team, and the Soul Refiner - Ludos.
The results of it
Except for the soul refiner Ludos who went to the Fire Sacrifice, all the other salary kings refused.
The Deep Saint - Eldridge is now called 'Eldridge who devours gods'. Sister Freed is not very clear about the specific situation. She only knows that Eldridge ate a god, that is Shadow Sun-Gwendelin, the son of the Sun King-Gwen.
Aldrich hid after eating a god, probably hiding somewhere to wait for it to be completely digested.
The Giant King Youmu still remains on the throne of the City of Sin. It is said that he may have been eroded by the abyss and ignores the call of the fire at all. Anyone who comes close will be mercilessly killed by him.
Fran's fortress has been closed, and the Abyss Monitor - Fran's undead team has not appeared for a long time.
In other words, except for the soul refiner Ludos, all the other four Xinwang refused to pass the fire. Some Xinwang who had been burned once but did not die completely did a lot of great things. After being awakened, Saint Eldridge ate the last true descendant of the god.
"Is this already the case?"
"Are you immortals still obsessed with spreading fire?" Su Ziyu thought to himself.
The Fire Spreading Faction and the Fire Extinguishing Faction were at odds with each other.
The Kingdom of Lothric was reduced to ruins during the battle, and it is said that the huge corpses of many dragons still remain in the royal city.
After the fire-passing ceremony had been held for so long, many people were already feeling desperate. They are unwilling to continue spreading the fire, and are willing to face the dark age after the flame is extinguished, hoping that one day the world will usher in a new life.
This situation lasted until the arrival of Su Ziyu.
An unknown being knew about Su Ziyu's arrival, and discovered that Su Ziyu had divine power, so the sixth Xinwang who could burn for a while was born.
it's him.
Su Ziyu possesses divine power, a fresh salary king who has not been burned yet.
… … …
Fire-passing sacrificial site.
After sending away the annoying Sister Friede, Hawkwood once again fell into inexplicable depression.
But he couldn't be depressed for long, because a heavy footsteps gradually approached.
He couldn't help but raise his head, and seemed to see a dazzling light in front of him. It was a knight wearing heavy armor, exuding an oppressive aura. His face was completely hidden under the helmet. Only a pair of slightly flaming eyes could be seen, a little trace of flames appeared on his body, and vague sparks were flying and falling. The burly knight looked down at Hawkwood in front of him and suddenly spoke.
— “Praise the sun!!!”
