Before Chapter 298?
Imrik was relieved to see this familiar environment. Although he didn't see the humanoid white soul sitting on the chair, this should be the place of guidance.
After checking carefully for a while, he found that there was nothing unusual. He walked to a tombstone and sat down. Then he leaned on it and took off his plate and chain armor, intending to check the injury.
There was a serious black bruise on the right side of the abdomen, and two ribs were broken. The most troublesome thing was the left hand, which had some bone fractures, so I couldn't use much strength. I sighed helplessly because I might have suffered more from this trick. If he had committed some crimes and had taken the first kill for the limb-repairing noble, he would have seen wood, cattle and horses by now.
But this is not a difficult thing to solve. Even at the worst estimate, this kind of injury can only be healed in two days, although it is not as good as the dwarves who are half dead today and drinking beer tomorrow. Physical fitness, but for my current self, it is already pretty good.
After thinking about it, I had better put on my plate and chain armor again. Otherwise, if some unscrupulous people came to attack me secretly, I still had to pay attention to safety.
Leaning on the tombstone, he started chatting with Minas Nir. When he got excited, he looked at the surrounding environment that looked like a mass grave and the decaying smell that entered his nose at that moment. He couldn't help but think of his previous conversation with Alarielle. Hiding in the caves of Avalon.
There was a big beauty beside me at that time. Although nothing practical happened, at least I could enjoy the sight. Why now, I still have to enjoy the attack of Lao Mi’s foul mouth. I finally understood Elarielle’s attitude at that time. I feel like I have to "apologize" properly after I go back.
Alas, it would be great if Lao Mi were a female dragon.
"Kid, I seem to sense something is wrong in your thoughts." Lao Mi's voice was as low as ever.
"How is it possible? I swear on the honor of the dragon lord that there is absolutely nothing wrong."
Just as the two were arguing, Lao Mi, whose perception was still as sharp as before because of his soul state, interrupted the conversation and showed that someone coming.
"Someone is here, but it feels very strange to me. It should be in the state of the soul. Maybe it's the wood you mentioned. I'll hide the aura first and see what's going on." Imrik, who knew it was the wood, immediately put
his Get into a standard sitting position, straighten your left leg, place your right hand on the arched leg, droop your head, and start to breathe steadily.
The slow sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer. Although the person leaning on the tombstone seemed to have fallen into a coma, as long as there was any abnormal movement, the long sword would be swung out without hesitation.
Just less than half a meter away from Imrik, the sound of horse hooves gradually stopped, and a clear and cold voice came from the horse's back, "Don't worry
, Thoret, there is still help."
"Finally found it. ."
The girl's voice gradually moved, accompanied by the sound of her feet hitting the water. She looked at the unconscious man leaning on the tombstone in front of her and continued,
"This man will definitely pursue the Elden Ring."
"Even if doing so would violate the Golden Law."
Melina observed the faded person in front of her for a moment, and found that the breastplate was seriously damaged, and most of the gauntlet on the left had fallen off. Coupled with the coma, it was obvious that he had been affected by Not a small amount of damage.
So he took out two Holy Grail bottles from his arms and placed them next to the tombstone. After staring at them for a moment, he took a few steps back and planned to leave with Torrett.
Just when Torrett had turned around, a strange and cold voice came from behind, causing Melina to stop in her tracks. "Sure enough, the knight should wait for the arrival of the princess. How should I call you, kind lady." Imrik, who was
still leaning on the tombstone and pretending to be unconscious, opened his eyes and looked at the man who was mostly covered by a hooded cloak. silhouette of a girl.
After hearing this, the girl turned the horse around and slowly fell off the horse. The side saddle riding posture made her movements very graceful and graceful. The slight splash of water also showed that the weight of this soul may only be A little bit.
She slowly walked up to the person who had woken up, stretched out her slender palms burned by the flames, and took off the hat that covered her face, revealing her fluffy chestnut hair. Under her slender eyebrows, only her right eye was open. There were three black and blue fingerprints on the closed left eye. His thin lips moved slightly, and a cold voice said,
"You who came through the fog, my name is Melina."
"I want to make a deal with you. Deal."
As she spoke, the girl had already put aside her cloak with both hands, put it behind her, and squatted down to look at the "Faded One" in front of her.
"You know..."
Before Melina could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Imrik,
"Let's not talk about this for now. Tell me about your situation. Before negotiating terms, you must at least know who you are cooperating with. Who is it? I think this should be a basic rule, right?"
Thinking that Imric had just woken up and didn't hear her name clearly, Melina repeated it again,
"I am Melina."
But this did not make anyone happy. Imrik was satisfied. This is the real world now, and it is impossible to follow the old thief's routine step by step.
"Of course, you are called Melina, but maybe you can also be called another name, just like I am called Imrik." , this is just a symbolic noun. What is really important is what is hidden behind this name."
Melina understood the meaning of Imrik's words and could only helplessly shake her head,
"Unfortunately, I don't either. I know the hidden meaning of the name Melina, so I need you to help me find my mission and take me to where you are going." Imrik, who knew the
general plot, looked at the man in front of him with a pleading tone in his voice . Melina, if she wants to gain the power of Elden's Ring, then this woman must be used as fuel to burn the thorns surrounding the golden tree.
Mission? It’s a very interesting word.
The cold Dragon Prince will not have unnecessary sympathy for a person who only has a vague understanding. This is just something that a leader must give up.
"Your explanation doesn't have anything substantial, but it's enough."
Melina, who was half-crouching, didn't understand the thoughts of the faded person in front of her. Judging from the exchange just now, it was obvious that he wanted to know everything People who have things in their hands, but this vague explanation makes them put down this idea.
"I'm glad that we have reached an agreement. Can we talk about cooperation?" "
Please tell me."
"Finger witches, they are people who serve the Two Fingers and help and guide the faded ones, but now there is no one around you. Without the company of witches."
"But I can take their place. I can turn runes into your power. I believe this power can help you obtain the Ring of Elden, and what I want is You can take me to the foot of the golden tree."
