Su Ziyu's figure fell directly from the sky.

Sister Friede, who had just resurrected, seemed a little dazed. When she looked at Su Ziyu, she was confused for a moment, but then she regained consciousness. As soon as she stretched out her hands, the strange sickles appeared directly in her palms. Then the nun stood up politely, leaned slightly towards Su Ziyu, and said calmly, "The unknown king."

"I didn't expect we would meet again so soon."

The other party seemed a little weak. Through spiritual perception, Su Ziyu could vaguely feel that the soul of this nun was like a hole, as if something had flowed out of it.

It must be human nature.

Although the undead can be resurrected, they will lose some of their humanity and memories every time they die, and in the end they will simply become mad wandering souls.

Human nature is a very complex thing.

It includes human emotions in all senses, that is, the seven emotions and six desires, and also includes various physical perceptions, such as appetite, touch, and material desires. The two undead people that Su Ziyu has met so far have almost no sense of pain.

"Do you want to fight again?"

Su Ziyu's expression showed a hint of helplessness, and he sighed, "Can't we just sit down and chat casually?"

Killing these undeads does not give you any source of energy.

In other words, they are not pollutants at all, but just a group of tools used to continue the Age of Fire. These people die and resurrect, resurrect and die again. When the fire is passed on, they have to be dug out of the graves and continued to be used.

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.

So what if it succeeds?

Those who need to continue to enter the grave will still have to enter the grave, and those who will be burned to ashes will still be a pile of embers in the first fire. At most, when the fire is needed next time, they will be resurrected as tools again and pick up the sword that has been sealed for who knows how long.

"You don't intend to kill me outright?"

Sister Friede's expression was a little strange, as if she was in a dilemma of wanting to die but also being afraid of death. She stared at the Su Ziyu in front of her and whispered, "You are the Fire King."

"I am an ember without a fire."

"If you kill me now, you will have one less enemy in the future."

I can't stay in this world for long.

Why should we fight to the death with you undeads?

Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "Why do we have to do this?"

"You attacked me because you are a fireless ember, and performing the ritual of passing on the fire is a mission forced upon you."

"I resisted because I didn't want to, and I didn't care about the mission."

"The title of Salary King was just imposed on me by some ghost hiding in the corner."

"I'll find it sooner or later."

Su Ziyu had already discovered a problem, that is, the two undead who attacked him successively had a strange resistance to the fire transmission. Hawkwood lost his fighting spirit after being slightly suppressed, and Sister Friede obviously had other ways to fight, but chose to fight Su Ziyu head-on. There was a vague illusion that she seemed to be here to die.

Hearing Su Ziyu's words, Sister Friede's expression showed a hint of doubt, as if she was thinking, and the two sickles in her hands also dropped gently.

At this time, Su Ziyu asked the most crucial question. He said in a deep voice, "Actually, you don't want to pass on the fire either."

"Is it right?"

Sister Friede shuddered all over when she heard that. She raised her head and looked at Su Ziyu in front of her without saying a word, but her teeth slightly bit the corner of her lip, and it was obvious that she was struggling inside.

"The ritual of passing on the fire is still going on."

Su Ziyu's thoughts became clearer and clearer. He stared at Sister Friede in front of him and said in a deep voice, "But this world is still constantly corrupt and degenerate."

"There are more and more undead wandering souls."

"There are almost no living people left. What will happen even if the fire is successfully transmitted this time?"

“Everything is just a struggle.”

"It will eventually decay completely."

Su Ziyu has been in this world for more than a day. Apart from the two undead fire bearers, there is only one monster contaminated by human pus with whom he can communicate. Apart from that, he has not met any normal person.

This world is almost beyond salvation.

If the Fire Transmission can really save the world, these undead should not lose their fighting spirit so easily. Su Ziyu's tentative words made Sister Friede lose the desire to fight, and her expression became a little confused.

"What do you want from me?"

Sister Friede sat down gently, next to the campfire, with a pair of strange sickles placed at her side, as if she didn't care at all whether Su Ziyu would suddenly attack her.

She placed a white palm over the bonfire. The flames touched the back of her hand but did not leave any scars, but it did not merge into it either. Sister Friede turned her back to Su Ziyu and stared at the bonfire silently, saying softly, "I am just an ember without fire."

"It doesn't offer you much help."

The opponent's desire to fight completely disappeared.

The perception brought by spirituality told Su Ziyu that Sister Friede in front of him was in a very strange state. It seemed that there was a black ring in her body, absorbing a faint breath from the flame.

"Just a casual chat then?"

Su Ziyu also sat next to the campfire, facing Sister Friede in front of him, so that he could react at any time if anything went wrong.

Pop.

He casually took out the magic gourd, poured a cup of fairy wine, and handed it to Sister Friede in front of him, and said slowly: "Would you like a cup?"

"No need." Sister Friede shook her head gently and said, "Nuns cannot drink alcohol."

"Besides, I have long lost my sense of taste for food."

So pitiful.

Don’t you even need to eat?

Su Ziyu drank the whole drink, shook his head, and asked curiously, "Do you rely on roasting fire to replenish your energy? You don't need any food at all?"

"The undead don't need food." Sister Friede said softly.

No wonder.

Su Ziyu found that it was very difficult to find normal food in this world. If the immortals did not need food, it would probably be difficult for him to find some clean food on his own. So he had to use the stored food resources a little more sparingly.

Perhaps attracted by the smell of the fairy wine, Sister Friede's calm expression changed slightly. She took out a slightly glowing bottle and took a sip towards the campfire. Soon, a flash of sparks appeared on the surface of her body, and a warm breath of fire surged through her body.

This is the only sentient drink for the undead.

——"Elemental Bottle (Strange Item): Unknown."

The stuff inside really looks like magma. Su Ziyu can even feel a hint of burning heat across the campfire.

"Really not going to try?"

"It's hard to find better wine in this world." Su Ziyu said with a smile.

Sister Frieda in front of him was too calm, sometimes like a wooden man. This should be the state after the loss of humanity. Su Ziyu was very curious whether she still had any desire for material things.

Sister Friede hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the wine poured by Su Ziyu. She picked up the glass and drank it all.

Ahem. The next second, Sister Friede's face flushed, as if she was drinking for the first time. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she murmured, "This is impossible. I can actually taste it."

"wrong."

"It's not alcohol. It's pure energy."

"It's like an elemental bottle."

"Could you please pour me another drink?"

Su Ziyu looked at Sister Friede, who was looking at her with a look of longing, and understood a little about the state of the undead. They were not completely without any feelings, but they just lost everything passively.

"Please." Su Ziyu smiled and filled her glass.

Souls were very common in this world, so he had no shortage of raw materials for brewing. The souls dropped from Sister Friede herself were more than enough to refine a lot of them.

"It's a magical wine." Sister Friede drank another glass and didn't ask for any more.

She fell into deep thought.

These undead are really weird. Hawkwood would mutter to himself, and Sister Friede liked to be in a daze. After she was resurrected, she seemed to have been in a daze by the campfire. A normal person would have just left this area.

That's about it.

Su Ziyu looked at Sister Friede who seemed to be in a daze and asked softly, "Has anything big happened in this world recently?"

"Can you tell me about it?"

Sister Friede looked up at Su Ziyu, her attention still on the bonfire in front of her, and said slowly: "According to the ancient agreement, the fire king who will pass on the fire this time is the second prince of Lothric, but the first prince Lorian protected the second prince."

“They refused to pass on the fire.”

"The ancient bells rang, and the people of the Firelink Shrine awakened us, the undead embers, to perform the Firelink ritual necessary for the continuation of the world."

Refuse to pass on the fire?

Looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be some damn salary king?

There are also some indigenous people of this world who refuse to pass on the fire.

Su Ziyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Tell me about these two princes."

Sister Friede looked up at the Suziyu in front of her. She thought for a moment and said slowly, "Because of the loss of humanity, I have forgotten some of the past."

"So I can only tell you what I know."

Su Ziyu nodded silently, feeling a little sympathy for the nun in front of her.

It is said that the immortal ember will eventually forget even its own name.

Sister Friede is relatively okay, at least she remembers her past. Those who have forgotten even their names are the most pitiful. However, these nameless ashes are also the most terrifying. Throughout history, they were the ones who took away the heads of the Lord of Fire.

A bunch of poor undead people.

They are just a group of tools used to carry out the fire transmission ceremony.

Soon, Su Ziyu obtained some of the most crucial information in this world from Sister Friede.

The fire transmission ceremony in this world is held regularly. Except for the first generation Fire King, the Sun King Gwyn, whose soul burned for a very long time, the other Fire Kings could not hold on for long.

How long can a world be kept alive just by burning the souls of some powerful people?

Obviously it's not enough to burn.

As a result, the time intervals between the Fire Transmission Ceremony became shorter and shorter, and in the end they even had to start training the Fire King in advance, because there were not many strong people qualified to be the Fire King.

The second prince of Lothric was a poor man who was regarded as the Lord of Fire as soon as he was born.

However, the second prince seemed to be cursed and weak. In order to protect him, his brother Prince Lorien was willing to bear the curse with his brother, which made their souls entangled together, so people usually refer to two people as Prince Lothric. It is unknown when Prince Lothric began to resist the passing of the fire, and even directly opposed to continuing to pass on the fire, preparing to welcome the dark age after the fire was extinguished.

If the Lord of Fire refuses to pass on the fire, then it will naturally be the turn of the undead to take the stage.

But Prince Lorian is too awesome.

This eldest prince was a fierce man who led his army to attack the demon's lair, and he single-handedly killed the demon prince born in the hotbed of chaos. Even though he shared his brother's curse, he was not a strong man that ordinary people could deal with.

no way.

Supporters of the Fire Passing can only ring the ancient bell to awaken the embers of the Fire Lords who once passed on the Fire.

In other words, the embers of a stronger group of undead have been awakened.

But even so, the supporters of the Fire Passing still felt that it was not safe enough, so they simply awakened the Cinder King who had been burned once before but not completely killed.

These include the Deep Saint Aldrich, the Giant King Youm, the Undead Army of the Abyss Monitor Faran, and the Soul Refiner Rhodos.

What's the result?

Except for the soul refiner Rhodos who went to the Firelink Shrine, all other Cinder Lords refused.

The Deep Saint Aldritch is now called 'Aldritch the God-devourer'. Sister Friede is not very clear about the specific situation. She only knows that Aldritch ate a god, Shadow Sun Gwyndolin, the son of Sun King Gwyn.

After eating a god, Aldrich hid himself, probably hiding somewhere to wait until it was completely digested.

The Giant King - Youm still remains on the throne of the City of Sin. It is said that he may have been corrupted by the abyss and does not respond to the call of the Fire Bearer at all. Anyone who approaches him will be ruthlessly killed by him.

The fortress of Farran has been closed, and the Abyss Watcher - Farran's undead army has not appeared for a long time.

In other words, except for the soul refiner Rhodos, the other four Cinder Kings all refused to pass on the fire. Some Cinder Kings who had been burned once but not completely dead did a lot of great things. After the Deep Saint Aldrich was awakened, he ate the last true descendant of God.

“Is it already like this?”

"Are you immortals still obsessed with passing on the fire?" Su Ziyu thought to himself.

The fire spreading faction and the fire extinguishing faction immediately fell out.

The Kingdom of Lothric was reduced to ruins during the battle, and it is said that many huge dragon corpses are still left in the royal city.

After the Fire Passing Ceremony had been held for so long, many people had already felt hopeless. They were unwilling to continue passing on the fire, and were willing to face the dark age after the flame went out, hoping that maybe one day the world would be reborn.

This situation continued until the arrival of the perilla fish.

An unknown being learned of the arrival of the Suzi fish and discovered that the Suzi fish possessed divine power, and thus the sixth Fire King who could burn a little longer was born.

It's him.

Su Ziyu, who possesses divine power, is a fresh fire king that has not been burned yet.

Fire Shrine.

After sending away the annoying Sister Friede, Hawkwood fell into inexplicable depression again.

But he didn't stay depressed for long, because a heavy footsteps approached.

He couldn't help but look up, and seemed to see a dazzling light in front of him. It was a knight wearing heavy armor, emitting an oppressive aura. His face was completely hidden under the helmet, and only a pair of eyes emitting faint flames could be seen. A little trace of fire appeared on his body, and faint sparks were flying and falling. The burly knight looked down at Hawkwood in front of him and suddenly spoke.

——"Praise the sun!!!"
