Chapter 372 Heroes and the Sun
The sound of a burning campfire is natural white noise, which makes the listener relax unintentionally.
However, Elsa couldn't relax at all now, her mind was in a highly tense state.
“.”
The bonfire seemed to become a clear dividing line, separating her from Solar.
Solar sat there and looked with interest at this small sculpture that was obviously made in his own image, and from time to time he praised the exquisite workmanship of it.
Of course it is exquisite. This small sculpture named "Sun Warrior Praising the Sun" is a limited edition, with only 300 in existence. Each one is hand-made by an excellent craftsman and is very expensive.
You ask why a handmade label can be sold at a high price? Count Charon doesn't know, he thinks that sculptures made in large quantities by earth magic are more durable, but sculptures made in large quantities by earth magic are mainly for children, while sculptures made by hand are for adults.
But Solar still looked a little confused.
Why is the body of this small sculpture so small but its head so big? It was his first time to come into contact with this form of "art" and he felt that it was not powerful enough, but rather cute.
Another confusion is why does Elsa have a statue of herself on her body?
Elsa looked up and glanced at the other person from time to time. She really wished she had X-ray vision so that she could see what kind of expression Solar had under the iron helmet.
She fidgeted, her fingers repeatedly rubbing her trouser legs, thinking:
It's strange, why is he staring at the sculpture? Ordinary afterimages should be unable to see such things, right?
Someone once tried to send a small sculpture to the blacksmith Andre, but he showed no reaction at all, as if he couldn't see it. The same was true for the other afterimages.
Why did he come to Solar? Not only did he see the small sculptures, but he also praised the workmanship!
If she had the photo stone, she really wanted to take a picture of this scene and give it to Luluwo, so that she could analyze it carefully.
However, Luluwo would never understand.
"Well, that, I can argue, no, I can explain!"
Elsa couldn't help biting her tongue, looking a little embarrassed. It would be bad if Solar thought she was a stalker or something.
"Don't be nervous. I can see that you are not a malicious person." Solar's voice was still gentle, and it had not yet risen to its usual cheerful tone. Perhaps he was afraid of scaring the already nervous child.
There should be no concept of "valuing women" in the world of Dark Souls, so he couldn't think of stalkers or anything like that, he just thought the sculpture was very interesting.
Although she said so, it was obvious that Elsa could not be calmed down by just a few words. She didn't even know why she was so nervous.
Was it because she realized that the other party's strength was greater than hers? No, she was not the kind of person who admired the strong.
If I tell them everything about the dungeon, what will the other party do? Elsa moved her mouth, but in the end she didn't choose to die, but chose to tell the "truth".
"This is a sculpture made by those who... worship you."
"Worship me?"
These words made Solar even more confused.
"That's right. Haven't you helped a lot of people along the way?" Elsa felt that today was the day she talked the most. "Those people made this sculpture to commemorate you, and it just happened to fall into my hands. In fact, I admire you very much."
Her voice became lower and lower as she spoke, because she noticed that Solar had fallen silent.
What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? But I'm not lying, it's true that many people worship Solaire because he was taken care of in Urasil, and the Bede family made the small sculpture for this reason.
Moreover, the fact that "Solaire has helped many people" should be true. Many adventurers asked Urasil indirectly about this. Knowing that Solar had been to places such as Undead Town, Ancient City of Sen, etc., with his personality, he would definitely help those in distress if he saw them on the road, right?
"This is really..." Solar stared at the small sculpture in his hand and said with emotion: "What I did is not worthy of being commemorated like this. Sculptures and the like are things that only heroes or gods are qualified to have."
When hearing this, Elsa suddenly remembered the "Adventure Recordings" sold by adventurers that Luluwo had shown her. Among them was a Solar collection, which was about Solar helping adventurers to block swords in various ways. No matter how the adventurers tried to commit suicide, the Sun Warrior could solve more than 90% of the troubles, even if the adventurers plunged headfirst into a group of monsters in the abyss.
At the beginning, the adventurers who took the video were just joking around, but after being rescued many times, they looked at Solar with stars in their eyes.
Unless one's moral bottom line is particularly low, no one should dislike the cheerful and helpful Sun Warrior.
Looking at Solar who was still muttering to himself, "I am just an ordinary person chasing the sun. It is better to commemorate the heroes than to be remembered by people," Elsa's emotional intelligence exploded and she suddenly said:
"Is it possible that you have already been a hero in other people's hearts?"
These words made Solar tremble, and he suddenly looked up at Elsa.
This made Elsa, who was just sighing at how good she was at speaking, break out in a cold sweat again. She laughed and said:
"Look, didn't you say that you were pursuing the light of King Gwyn and wanted to become the sun?" She raised her arms and drew a big circle. "King Gwyn destroyed the ancient dragons and devoted himself to passing on the fire to protect the world, so he is the biggest sun."
Solar nodded in agreement and said, "As long as you praise King Gwyn, we will be good friends."
"You have experienced so many adventures and helped so many people on your way to chasing the sun. Although you may not realize it, the light radiating from you has indeed affected many people, so."
Elsa drew a small circle next to the big sun and said:
"So you are already the sun in some people's hearts, or the little sun?" she added quickly, fearing that Solar would think that her act of calling him the sun was disrespectful to Gwyn, so she specifically added the word "little".
“.”
Solar suddenly stood up.
Elsa shuddered. What happened? Did she say the wrong thing? So Solar wants to destroy me on behalf of the sun?
Unexpectedly, Solar simply picked up his ordinary shield and ordinary weapon, stretched out his hand to her, and said with mixed emotions in his tone:
"Let's go. The journey to pursue the sun continues. Let's go together."
Did I succeed in impressing him? Elsa was surprised. She could see that Solar was trying to change the subject.
But since she had already received the other party's promise of help, why didn't she ask any more questions? So she stood up swiftly, showing full enthusiasm.
"I give this back to you."
Solar returned the small sculpture to her. "Thank you for your compliment, but my practice is not yet qualified. The word sun is not suitable for me."
"How could that be?" She was about to retort.
"So, I will continue to work hard to be worthy of people's respect, hahahaha!"
In the blink of an eye, he burst into his signature hearty laugh, and everyone who heard it felt better.
If it were a game, a prompt would probably pop up at this time.
[The Sun Warrior "Solaar" has joined the team! (temporary)]
With Solar's help, Elsa is like a tiger with wings. No, it should be like a tiger with wings. Solar is the big tiger.
Judging from the fact that he had blocked her knife attack with one hand, Solar must be very strong, perhaps even stronger than herself, and he was also a seasoned warrior. Elsa felt that she should be no match for him.
But when the spiral staircase went up to the middle level again, he saw the Sun Warrior throw out two lightning gun shots and then add two more slashes to chop off the gargoyle that had caused him to engage in a fierce battle, just like chopping off the head of a chicken.
Elsa opened her mouth wide enough to swallow a whole Happy Egg.
It was not until then that she remembered that she still had Jack's wine, so she offered it to him with both hands, with a very respectful expression.
"What's this?"
"It's my respect for you."
After a quick drink, the two of them walked together towards the other side of the road where the gargoyle handle was.
That is the castle that the Brass Woman mentioned, where King Gwyn actually lived, the center of the entire Anor Londo.
As expected of the center, the two encountered four giant guards as soon as they walked over, but with Solar there, they were nothing to be afraid of.
The main gate made the classic "the door didn't move at all", and the small door on the left also had the classic "cannot be opened from this side". Only the small door on the right was open with its arms wide open, waiting for people to come in.
When they really went deeper into the castle where the gods lived, Elsa couldn't help but become nervous and didn't dare to speak loudly.
There are silver knights everywhere. The silver knights that are rare monsters outside appear in groups here.
Although Solar is a caring person, Erza is still faced with a tough battle when facing groups of Silver Knights.
On one side was the magnificent interior of the royal city, and on the other side was the murderous silver knight. She was fighting the enemy while admiring the scenery.
The royal city is so beautiful under the sunset that people can't help but fall into it.
"The only way to see this kind of scenery is to come to the dangerous painting world?"
Elsa sighed softly.
"It would be great if we could also see Anor Londo in the usual Thane dungeon."
After entering the royal city, the monsters' strength increased significantly. Although she had Solar by her side, Elsa still felt very tired.
The only difference from before is that my sense of security has been greatly enhanced with teammates.
As mentioned before, Gong Qiying arranged the rhythm of Anor Londo very tightly.
When the adventurer found Solar, there was only one experience point left in this painting world—
Boss battle.
Not long after, when she saw the white fog gate appearing in front of her, Elsa muttered to herself:
"Something's wrong. How come we can see the fog gate so soon?"
They hadn't found the mechanism to open the main gate, nor had they pushed open the side door on the left. It felt like there were still many places in the huge castle that hadn't been explored.
As a result, as I was walking, I saw the iconic white fog gate used in the boss battle?
"Let's go and challenge the legendary hero."
Solar was the first to touch the fog gate.
