Chapter 374 Giant Blacksmith: Friends, Free
"I see. You are confused about the future and don't know how to make a decision regarding your friends."
In front of the campfire, under the gaze of Gwyn's statue, Solar, who had turned into a golden spirit, said this after listening to Elsa talk about her troubles.
Elsa admitted that she was excited and asked for advice, but when asked why she wanted power, she told Onion Knight about her troubles.
I didn't feel anything when I said it, but now I feel a little ashamed.
As for the reason, it was probably because Solar was too gentle and approachable, and was seriously helping her analyze the problem and find a solution.
Listening to others seriously analyzing her problem that she felt was not presentable, she felt really embarrassed.
"Your problem is that you feel that the current team and leader have changed a lot compared to the past, so you don't want to stay there anymore, but you can't abandon the familiar people," Solar said, "and you don't have an accurate goal for the future."
Elsa nodded repeatedly and was almost about to ask "What do you think?"
“Sometimes it’s not that the person has changed, but that you have come to your senses and realized that the other person was that kind of person to begin with.”
Solar stood up and said, "Among all these questions, the most important one is to think about what you want to do in the future. Once you find a goal worth striving for, other troubles will be solved."
Elsa nodded and asked, "So how do we find the target?"
Unfortunately, Solar cannot help her make a decision on this issue at the moment. After all, she has to solve the major issues in life by herself.
Elsa felt a little regretful, but she also understood that her problem could not be solved by just a few words. The reason seemed to be that her personality was too fussy.
If I could be more decisive and take more action, I wouldn't encounter such a thing.
Although emotional problems cannot be solved, Solar can still guide people in practicing martial arts.
And he is also happy to help others.
Anor Londo has many advantages, but I will not mention anything else except one: the monsters here are very powerful, and the souls that can be provided to adventurers are naturally sufficient.
The number of souls that a giant guard here can provide is comparable to killing seven in and seven out of the Gollum group in the Fran Fortress. Of course, this is also because Gong Qiying deliberately lowered the number of souls that appeared in the previous area.
As a brave hero, Elsa can be called a small-number monster when facing most ordinary people, but in the painting world where everyone has strong numbers, she is not good enough and can only sit at the same table with the gargoyles.
She herself had no intention of upgrading her level before, and thought her current strength was enough, but now it seems she is still far from it.
Set a short-term goal and increase your strength by five levels first. As for vitality, it is not important. It is just the difference between one kill and two kills. Ornstein will definitely be able to kill the adventurer with one shot without a doubt.
But upgrading is something Elsa has to consider herself, and what Solar has to do is to give her technical guidance.
Elsa is now a pure giant swordsman, so is it possible to let her learn something different?
She has pledged to be a sun warrior, so how can she not use her iconic lightning spear?
The lightning spear, which has a parabolic trajectory and is thrown entirely by the strength of the arm, may be more suitable for her super strength than magic such as pyroxene magic gravel.
So, Solar had already come up with a special training plan for her.
The 100 throwing postures of the thunder spear, the 66 techniques of rolling, the power and
Every kind of special training must be carried out through practice. The Giant Guards of Anor Londo are the best sparring partners. I don't know what kind of magic is cast on their huge shields, and weapons can't even leave a scratch when they are hit, as if there is no damage at all. However, the Giant Guards will react to the force of the attack, which makes them the ultimate sandbags.
Before starting the training, Solar took Elsa to the castle again, and explored the roads that the two had never explored before fighting Ornstein and Smough, and trained in practice.
Then, they saw another friendly "person".
"Ding ding ding"
He is a giant, or rather a giant blacksmith.
His huge body was sitting on a stool that looked a bit small. In his big hands he was holding a hammer that was probably the size of his finger, and he was working hard at forging weapons.
The scene looked a little funny, but if Erza judged from her own perspective, she thought the giant blacksmith was very cute.
It just so happened that I just defeated the Giant Guard and dropped some Faded Forging Stone or something, so I might as well use it to strengthen the Sword Skeleton Greatsword here.
Before she could speak, the giant blacksmith suddenly turned his head and looked at her, stretched out his hand to her, and said in a dull tone:
"Weapons, give them to me, forge them."
"Ah? Oh." Elsa handed over the sword skeleton and was about to take out the dull forging stone from her pocket, but the giant blacksmith started forging iron on his own.
Hey, don’t adventurers have to provide the forging stones themselves here?
The giant blacksmith said as he hammered:
"It's been a long time, meeting people, forging, free once, making friends."
The giant race doesn't seem to be very good at speaking, but at least people can understand what they mean.
"Okay, we are friends now, hahaha!" Solar responded cheerfully before Elsa could react.
The giant blacksmith looked at Elsa, and she quickly nodded, "Friends, friends, we are friends now."
So the blacksmith hammered the weapon faster. It took blacksmith Andre most of the day to strengthen the weapon, but the giant only hammered it a few times and returned it to Elsa, and took Solar's weapon and started forging it.
The Sword Skeleton Greatsword seemed to become sharper and stronger. This was her first feeling after getting the weapon. She couldn't help but thank the blacksmith with joy.
The Giant Blacksmith was the third person who had shown her care since she entered Anor Londo, the first two being the Brass Woman and Solar. This made her feel that all the fatigue from the adventure was disappearing.
Although the monsters here are very strong and troublesome, everyone you meet here is a good person. Solar is a good person, the brass lady may look cold but will give her serious suggestions, and the giant blacksmith will give a free enhancement as soon as he comes up.
One can't help but sigh that the people in the past were really simple and honest, but now the morals have fallen and the world is going downhill. How did guys like Patch survive?
"Forging, must, come again."
"Yeah, I will definitely come back!" Elsa took note of this and waved goodbye. To use a classic sentence from a student's composition to describe it, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
It turns out that helping others and being helped are both such happy things, and she began to like this feeling.
The giant blacksmith gave it a free enhancement, and taking into account all the forging stones, the Sword Skeleton Greatsword was enhanced twice this time. It left very obvious scars when it was cut on the gargoyle's hard skin, and its power was much stronger than before the enhancement.
With the enhanced weapons, as well as the guidance and protection from Solar, she dared to fight three Giant Guards at the same time.
When she defeated three giant guards at the same time for the first time, and gained a lot of sweat and Solar's praise, confidence and a dazzling smile appeared on her face.
"I've decided." Elsa muttered in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Solar didn't hear clearly.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's go find the next enemy!"
She waved her hand and added in her heart:
Elsa won't leave until the royal city explodes!
She wants to become stronger here silently, and become the Sword God of Shilipo after going out!
With Solar as a teacher, these will definitely not be a problem.
In this way, Elsa will be "lost" in the world of painting for a while.
In the meantime, are there any other people entering the world of painting?
Yes, friends, yes.
Gong Qiying spent his mental energy to modify the permission "A world you can't leave without victory". He did not change the effect of the permission, but instead copied dozens or hundreds of copies of the painting world created with the permission and placed them at the bonfires of Irithyll, except for the bonfire at the bridge at the beginning.
Although adventurers can still only enter the painting world to explore alone, fortunately it is not the case that only one person can explore. The whole world is waiting outside the painting. As long as the adventurer separates from the adventurers who enter the painting, he can enter a dungeon "world" where no one has entered the painting world yet.
And now, an ordinary adventurer came in just like that.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?
He had just finished today's invasion and hunting of sinners with Fingri, and had just collected enough ears of the Proof of Oath, so he wanted to go to the Darkmoon Altar to exchange them for rewards.
Ten ears can be exchanged for a Darkmoon Ring, and twenty ears can be exchanged for a Miracle Darkmoon Lightsaber. As the Darkmoon Sword, he has been coveting that thing for a long time, but to be honest, twenty ears are not so easy to collect.
Especially now, the adventurers who often participate in invasion activities have learned a lot and have mastered the common invasion tactics to perfection. Their hide-and-seek skills are also very advanced, so he may not be able to catch a single ear in the whole day. It's so exaggerated.
They are all disciples who were taught in the same dungeon, and they simply can't break each other's moves.
After finally collecting enough ears today, he happily offered them to the altar, but what he got was not the Dark Moon Light Sword, but something unexpected:
【Darkmoon Priest Ring】
[A ring given to the priests of Gwyndolin, the god of the Shadow Sun and Dark Moon. The wearer can enhance their understanding of magic.]
[Gwyndolin, the Shadow Sun, is one of the ancient gods who stayed in Anor Londo. His followers are very few.]
No, he majored in melee combat, so why did he get a ring related to magic?
Frustrated, he looked toward the wall behind him, but failed to notice that the wall had turned into a painting.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already arrived in Anor Londo.
Before he could be shocked by the magnificent scenery that he had rarely seen in his life, he was caught in a terrifying situation of being chased by giant guards.
Fortunately, he is a Hound Step player and an assassin-turned-warrior. He also knows combat skills like the one used by Malu that allows him to sneak into the shadows.
In terms of parkour ability, he is actually better than Elsa overall, but he didn't even have time to sit by the bonfire with the Brass Girl as he was being chased everywhere by the Giant Guards.
Not only did he not sit by the campfire, but when he saw the brass girl, he mistook her for a monster and chopped her down with a few slashes.
As a result, the bonfire was unusable, and the Brass Woman was still chasing him and fighting him. Seeing the Darkmoon Light Sword she was using, the adventurer realized that the other party was also a Darkmoon Sword.
And now, in a panic, he turned the spiral staircase mechanism and came to the bottom level of Anor Londo, where he finally found a campfire that he could use.
However, Solar, who appeared later, was hostile to him.
As for the reason, it was the same reason why he killed the Bronze Lady just now. He also killed Solar when he was in Urasil.
"I apologize to you, please stop chasing me!"
In panic, the adventurer's hand wearing the Darkmoon Priest's ring touched the statue of King Gwyn.
The next second, the statue disappeared and a staircase leading downwards appeared.
And at the end of the road is a white foggy gate.
