The fire kings all refuse to pass on the fire?
The information that Su Ziyu obtained from Sister Friede was very useful. After eliminating the other party's desire to fight, he extracted a lot of useful information from Sister Friede.
But this is also related to the fact that Sister Friede herself is resistant to passing on fire.
In fact, now not only are many people disappointed with the Fire Transmission Ceremony, but even some of the awakened Undead are also very confused. They don't know whether the Fire Transmission Ceremony should continue, because even if the Fire Transmission Ceremony succeeds this time, the world will soon be corrupted again. From the time of Sun King Gwyn to the present, the number of living people in this world has been decreasing, and the Undead Plague is everywhere. In some places, only the Undead who have lost their minds are left.
It's a very simple truth.
——Spreading fire cannot save the world!
Those Fire Kings who refused to pass on the fire were potential allies for Su Ziyu, but the only ones who were still sane were probably the two princes of Lothric. The other Fire Kings were probably crazy or out of control.
Of course, Sister Friede revealed more than just this little bit of information. She also told Su Ziyu some things about the Firelink Shrine.
She said that the dungeon below the Firelink Shrine was filled with the bodies of the Fire Keepers.
Sister Friede could no longer remember things that happened in the distant past. When she woke up this time, she felt that the Firelink Shrine seemed to have changed. There was an aura there that made her feel uneasy and frightened.
That's right.
Sister Friede is from Londor. She and her two sisters are the founders of the Black Church.
Her original mission was to become the Wandering King of Londor, but Sister Friede was tired of it all. She didn't want to pass on the fire anymore, nor did she want to be the Wandering King of Londor.
"Then what do you want to do?" Su Ziyu asked curiously while sitting by the campfire.
Sister Friede seemed to have relaxed a little at this moment, perhaps because she hadn't talked to anyone for a long time.
It was hard to meet a normal person in this pitfall world. Not only Su Ziyu couldn't find anyone to talk to, but even the natives couldn't meet many sane people. The capital of Lothric was basically full of wandering souls. When Sister Friede went there to explore, she encountered a terrifying enemy with two swords. It seemed to be called "Dancing Girl". After a fight, Sister Friede was slightly at a disadvantage and was forced to retreat by the enemy.
Undead also have a special 'ember state'.
The so-called embers are the flames left behind by some powerful heroes. If Sister Friede activates the ember state, her strength will increase explosively, but unfortunately she currently has no embers.
Her strength has not yet fully recovered, and when Sister Friede is in her prime she possesses another terrifying fire power.
"What do I want to do?" Sister Friede stared at the bonfire in front of her and fell into deep thought. Her expression was a little dazed, and she murmured, "I think I want to find a quiet place."
"Stay still."
"Until the flames of this world are completely extinguished."
Is this what you want to do?
Su Ziyu's expression was a little confused. She translated Sister Friede's words into that she just wanted to find a quiet place to stay at home. No matter if there was anything or not, you should not bother her, even if the fire went out and the world was about to end.
She just wants to be a quiet homegirl.
"So what are your plans next?" Su Ziyu asked curiously.
Sister Friede's expression became increasingly confused. She stared at the bonfire in front of her absentmindedly, frowning and thinking for a long time before she said hesitantly, "I seem to have heard of a cold and quiet world in a painting called Airedel."
“I don’t know what’s inside though.”
“But I kind of want to go there.”
The world in the painting?
Is this a demiplane unique to this world?
You actually want to hide in a painting and stay there quietly? Do you have any other pursuits?
Su Ziyu now somewhat understands Sister Friede's initial thoughts. She is the awakened ember, whose mission is to complete the fire transmission ritual. That's why she came to challenge Su Ziyu, even to the point of committing suicide. If Sister Friede chose to sneak attack, with her amazing speed and powerful stealth ability, Su Ziyu might not be able to win so easily. She died once at the hands of Su Ziyu, which was equivalent to her having fulfilled her mission. However, after dying once, her desire to fight also began to weaken seriously. She was still hesitating whether to pass on the fire, but now it seems that she has completely given up.
There was no desire to fight left in her.
Su Ziyu didn't know that there was an even more powerful person inside the Firelink Shrine. After dying once, Hawkwood from France had now stayed inside the Firelink Shrine. It seemed that he wanted to stay there until he died. Anyway, he just wouldn't go out.
well.
It's not easy for these awakened ashes either.
Su Ziyu looked at Sister Friede, who had a confused expression in front of her, and asked tentatively, "If you don't have anything else you want to do, are you interested in being my guide?"
"I can pay you a certain amount of money."
Su Ziyu is still too unfamiliar with this world.
After finally completely eliminating Sister Friede's hostility, he naturally had to make good use of it. It was much better to have someone lead the way than to wander around alone.
"Guide?" Sister Friede seemed to come to her senses and murmured, "I am an ember without fire."
"You are the Salary King."
"Aren't you afraid that I will plot against you behind your back?"
Su Ziyu looked at Sister Friede in front of him, thought about it seriously and said, "Don't be afraid."
He is really not afraid.
Because Su Ziyu had never used the power of time acceleration, even if Sister Friede wanted to plot against him, Su Ziyu had enough time to react. Moreover, he believed in the perception brought by his spirituality. The other party's aura of having no desires and only wanting to find a place to stay quietly could not deceive anyone.
"Where do you want to go?" Sister Friede looked up at Su Ziyu curiously and asked, "The Firelink Shrine?"
"Or should we go find another Salary King?"
"Many of them have gone crazy. If you go looking for them, you will probably just be devoured by them."
There are not many people who still retain their sanity among the salary kings.
Because of the characteristics of this plane, ordinary people can also absorb soul power. As for the undead and the Fire King, they are even more powerful. They can directly devour the souls of others.
I definitely won't go to the Fire Shrine.
Sister Friede said there was a breath that made her feel scared. Su Ziyu estimated that it was most likely a source of pollution, so there was no need to rush directly to the enemy's lair. Moreover, Sister Friede also said that the bottom of the Fire Sacrifice was full of corpses of fire keeper women, which made Su Ziyu feel a hint of danger. His intuition and spirituality told him that there was a great danger there.
"I want to go to the Royal City of Lothric." Su Ziyu thought about it seriously and said.
Let's go to the world's largest kingdom first. The two princes of Lothric are the most likely to communicate with each other. Maybe there is a possibility of cooperation between them.
This time, Su Ziyu is not going to save the world.
The primary mission of the Space-Time Monitor System is not to save the world, but to clean up the pollution in this world. If necessary, the Space-Time Monitor even needs to destroy and purify a world to restart the life of this world.
Seriously.
Su Ziyu felt that this world was beyond salvation.
Rather than continuing to linger on, it is better to end the Age of Fire and welcome the arrival of the next age.
This moment.
The data flow in Su Ziyu's mind changed, and then some information prompts appeared.
"The current plane has entered the stage of decline." "Activate the autonomous response mode of the Spacetime Supervisor! ... Release the main task! ..."
“Main Quest 1: End the Fire Transmission Ceremony, extinguish the Initial Fire, and welcome the coming of the Dark Age.”
"Mission rewards: authority level upgrade, lightning divinity advancement, divinity value drop."
“Main Quest 2: Preserve the spark of life, find a shelter, and ensure that there is life in the current plane to survive the long dark age and welcome the arrival of a new era.”
"Mission Rewards: Increased authority level, analysis of plane laws, and gifts from the current plane."
The main quest has been triggered.
Different from the main quests in other worlds, the main quest released by the Space-Time Supervisor System this time is to end an era, extinguish the original fire of this world, and welcome the next dark age.
Suzi needs to find a shelter to help some people in this world survive the dark ages and preserve the fire of life.
He has to end it all with his own hands!
While Su Ziyu was thinking about the main mission this time, Sister Friede also pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Lothric Royal City? I can take you there."
"But I don't recommend you to mess with that dancer."
“She’s amazing!”
"She must have been a god in the past!... It would be very dangerous to face her!..."
Gods?
Su Ziyu was not worried about the danger. He was more concerned about whether the other party had any divinity dropped.
There are gods in this world.
It is highly likely that many of the enemies here possess divinity. So far, the enemies Su Ziyu has encountered are not very strong, but there should be many strong people in this plane. The strength shown by some Fire Kings in rumors may be stronger than Su Ziyu.
Even if it was Sister Friede in front of him, if she entered the 'ember state', Su Ziyu's chances of winning would be greatly reduced.
The ember state can increase the combat power of the undead by approximately 30% to 50%.
If it was Sister Friede, she could probably increase her power by more than 100% when she entered the ember state, because in that state she could control the power of ice and black fire at the same time. This was Sister Friede who was truly qualified to be the 'Ghost King of Londor'.
"Let's go." Su Ziyu stood up and said.
Sister Friede looked at Su Ziyu with a gentle expression, then suddenly blinked and asked, "Where's the reward?"
"You said you would pay me."
The immortals are not without desires.
remuneration?
They don't even want to eat, so giving them money should be useless, right?
Su Ziyu thought about it and asked tentatively: "How about giving you a glass of wine every day? This wine is unique in the world!"
liquor?
Sister Friede tilted her head and thought for a moment, as if she was savoring the taste of the fairy brew. Then she nodded slightly, stood up and said, "Okay."
The two sides successfully reached an agreement.
very good.
The souls dropped by Sister Friede are enough to brew a lot of fairy wine, so Su Ziyu can hire her for one or two months without any problem.
This wave is not a loss.
sonorous.
Sister Friede reached into the bonfire and pulled out the strange spiral sword. Su Ziyu had noticed the sword from the beginning, but it was not a strange object. It looked like an ordinary ritual item with a broken part. After Sister Friede pulled it out, the spiral sword disappeared, and the bonfire in front of her gradually went out. Su Ziyu could feel a special flame power dissipating in the air.
"let's go."
"It will probably take a day to get to the Royal City of Lothric from here," Sister Friede said softly.
After completely giving up on passing on the fire, the nun seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
Su Ziyu raised his hand and made a gesture for leading the way, then followed Sister Friede and walked towards the direction of the Royal City of Lothric.
He actually wanted to ask the other person if it wouldn't be uncomfortable to walk barefoot?
However, after noticing that the other person's naked feet were not even stained by dust, he simply shut his mouth. This must be some kind of supernatural ability.
Fire Shrine.
Hawkwood looked at the tall and burly knight in front of him with a slightly surprised expression, and murmured, "Did they even awaken the Sun Knight?"
Praise the sun!
There is only one kind of person in this world who would greet someone in this way, and that is the Sun Knight.
The Sun Knight was active in the early days of the Age of Fire. To some extent, the Ember in front of him could be considered an antique.
wrong.
Hawkwood felt the pressure from the other party and the soul power in his body, and said to himself: "This is not an ordinary ember."
"This person should be a certain salary king in history!"
Compared to when he first faced Sister Friede, Hawkwood seemed a little more reserved. He just said in a slightly frustrated and casual voice: "Are you also going to look for the unknown Cinder King?"
The other person's expression was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and asked in confusion: "Huh?"
"Are there six Cinder Kings this time?"
"I am... um... I seem to have forgotten my name!... Never mind... You can call me the Nameless Sun Knight..."
"I want to ask if you are interested in defeating those Cinder Kings with me!..."
"Praise the sun! ..."
"The continuation of the flame requires our strength! ..."
Challenge the salary king?
Hawkwood shook his head resolutely and said without hesitation: "No!"
I'd rather die than go.
I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay in the Firelink Shrine. It is quiet and safe here. There is a beautiful fire keeper next to me. I can taunt other embers and tell them that it is impossible to defeat the Cinder King. This is the only way to barely maintain my life.
