Su Ziyu and Sister Friede temporarily withdrew from the Fran Fortress.
Although there were signs of zombification, Sister Friede's power did not weaken. In fact, the sparks on her body surface became even stronger.
Sister Friede seemed calm about her beautiful face becoming like this. She just covered her face with a veil, then pulled out a ritual spiral sword and inserted it into the extinguished bonfire in front of her. As the bonfire made of bones ignited wisps of flames, Sister Friede stared at the spiral sword in front of her and fell into deep thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Ziyu asked cautiously.
Sister Friede paused for a moment, then raised her head, stared at Su Ziyu in front of her, and said softly, "A lot of things."
"Something I have forgotten."
Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "In fact, there is no need to delve too deeply into some things of the past."
"If this world no longer has any meaning to exist."
"Then let it end."
Su Ziyu was really afraid that Sister Friede would overthink and trigger some unknown restriction. After all, she looked like she was about to be completely burned by the flames. He was really afraid that Sister Friede would completely combust. It was a pity to lose a powerful helper who had finally found her and learned a lot about her.
This was the first time he clearly expressed his idea of 'putting out the fire'.
"The end?" Sister Friede pondered for a moment and murmured, "Yes... there is no need for all this to continue..."
"It's better to let it end..."
Sister Friede said there are two Firelink shrines.
In other words, some major changes occurred during the continuous process of the Fire Transmission Ceremony.
In the past, there were no embers without fire, and the Cinder King would not be taken out and burned repeatedly. All these changes were related to the emergence of the second Fire Sacrifice Site, which is the Fire Sacrifice Site currently in use. Su Ziyu speculated that there may have been a time when the Fire Sacrifice Ceremony was close to failure, and the continuation of the original fire was almost impossible, and then some people in this world made some changes in order to continue the Fire Age.
This change has resulted in some consequences.
These changes are all good for the inheritance of the First Fire.
First of all, the fireless embers can be used to deal with the fire kings who are unwilling to pass on the fire. They are all very powerful, and it is not difficult to forcibly take away the heads of the fire kings who are unwilling to pass on the fire. Just like the Sun Knight we met before, with his strength against the Fran Undead Team, he should have a 50% to 60% chance of winning, and the fireless embers can still be resurrected.
Secondly, the Fire King that has been burned once can be reused.
In case the world's top powerhouses are missing and there is no Fire King to burn, or the Fire King is unwilling to pass on the fire, they can still pull out the Fire King that has been burned once but not completely dead and burn it again.
The power that the First Fire craves should remain unchanged.
However, the demand for the fire-transmission ceremony is likely to have been reduced, and even some kind of life-saving fire-transmission method has been adopted to rescue the half-burned Fire King and keep it for use next time when it fails.
It's like a bonfire that's about to go out.
Every time it was about to go out, throw a piece of firewood
In this process, embers without fire may be born. Because sometimes what is taken out may not be charcoal, but may be completely burned embers (such as the Sun Knight, Sister Friede, etc.).
The fire was preserved and not extinguished.
But the dim flames could not provide much energy, so the world became what Su Ziyu saw now. There were almost no normal living people, and unconscious zombies were everywhere. Because the energy burned out by the Firelink Shrine was not enough, not only could it not save this dying world, it couldn't even protect the survivors here.
This is also the reason why the world could continue normally for so long after the Sun King Gwyn passed on the fire, but now the fire is passed on every once in a while, but the number of undead people is increasing and there are almost no normal people.
Be reasonable.
The souls of a few powerful people alone cannot stop the historical process of the end of an era.
If there weren't so many powerful people in this world, the original fire would have been extinguished long ago.
As for the incarnation of the King of Fire.
Su Ziyu felt that it was most likely a source of pollution, or even the original fire that was unwilling to go out. With so many strong men's bodies and souls burned in it as firewood, he would not be surprised at all what kind of weird thing would be born in the end.
“But the question now is what should I do?”
"The incarnation of the Lord of Fire."
"How much strength did he retain? How strong is the body left behind by the Sun King Gwyn?"
“He said he saw me!”
“Do I have a good chance of winning against Him?”
Su Ziyu had many questions in his mind, but he had no answers. The end of the Fire Passing Ceremony was to defeat the incarnation of the Cinder King, but the incarnation of the Cinder King that the Embers had fought against in history was not strong, and this was more like a final ceremony. But if he were to fight against the incarnation of the Cinder King, he would most likely face the remains of the real Sun King - Gwyn, as well as the remaining power of countless Cinder Kings who had passed on the Fire.
It's a bit scary just thinking about it, but without defeating the incarnation of the Lord of Fire, it is impossible to get close to the Original Fire.
This main mission is a bit difficult!
Can it still be done?
Su Ziyu pondered for a moment and said to himself, "I don't know what the incarnation of the Fire King is like."
"But over at the Firelink Shrine."
"We must not let them take the Soul of the Cinder King. If the Soul of the Cinder King is burned, the possibility of putting out the fire ourselves will be even lower."
The incarnation of the Lord of Fire is definitely conscious.
Su Ziyu couldn't let Him grow stronger any further. Even if he couldn't put out the fire, he had to snatch the Fire King's soul and absolutely couldn't let the fireless embers get it.
Time passes by every second.
Just as Su Ziyu fell into deep thought, the magic gourd in his arms suddenly vibrated.
