Chapter 917 899. The lightless world
‘We are not allowed to wear military armor today when the school grounds are paid’?
Lan En thought silently in his heart and sighed.
An old-fashioned plan, but it is really effective.
After all, the Knights of Lothric are completely loyal to Lothric, and one of the two princes of the coup, the eldest prince Lorian, even personally led the knights to fight.
The knights respected this noble and brave prince of the gods.
But because of this kind of loyalty and respect, when the prince personally ordered them to gather in the chapel, who could be wary?
Lan En pinched his temples quietly while looking like he had just woken up and was still a little unconscious.
But in fact he was relieving the pain in his head that was like being bitten by predatory bugs.
The erosion of darkness is becoming more and more obvious as the First Fire weakens.
"Do you mind if I take a look at the dragon knights coming down from the inner city?"
"That's why I'm looking for you." Lorenzo nodded nonchalantly and watched Lan En stand up from the ground. "I need a lot of advice now, any advice."
The Lothric knights who had just replaced their patrol posts were also resting against the wall in the church hall. Some priests were using restorative skills unskilledly. 's [Miracle] heals the damage they took while patrolling.
When Lan En and Lorenzo pushed open the heavy church door, the demon hunter's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
It’s too dark.
The sun in this world had turned into a 'bleeding eclipse' some time ago, and the light intensity was like the tail of dusk on a normal day.
And now.
The knights of Lothric, as well as the commoners who were lucky enough to come to the church alive and seek refuge on the high wall, have torn down the timber and The furniture was made into simple fire piles and torches.
Now there is some light in the poor visibility.
The light in the sky is now only equivalent to a dark night when the moon is not bad.
But now according to Mentos' biological clock, it should be daytime!
No wonder, the darkness in the body is stirring.
Because the world is one step closer to extinction.
"Are you okay?"
Lorenzo asked beside Lan.
"You've been feeling a little uncomfortable since you woke up just now."
"No, it's nothing." Lan En calmly skipped the topic.
Then walk towards the flying dragon corpse outside the church.
On the body of this flying dragon, there are many traces of being ravaged by thunder.
That is the dragon-hunting equipment of the Lothrik knights.
Thunderbolts, and thunder pots similar to flame pots.
Although the Knights of Lothric now live with dragons, their skills in hunting dragons are still the foundation of the combat system.
Originally, the steps in front of the church were very wide, enough for ten people to walk parallel to each other.
But when a flying dragon fell here, the dragon's wing claws and wing membranes were too large and had to hang diagonally on the wall beside the stairs.
The body of a dragon knight was pressed against his legs by the flying dragon's head, and then his chest was nailed to the ground by a knight's spear.
It seems that this is the dragoon that came down to chase.
When Lan En walked over, the knights stepped aside to get out of the way. He discovered that Emma, the officiant, was also present.
A few people first nodded and greeted each other, and then Lan En squatted next to the corpse of the prince's dragon knight and began to look at it.
Nothing complicated, just an ordinary dragoon wearing a full set of ordinary Lothric knight armor. However, Lan En still deliberately turned over the small lantern on his waist that had been broken during the fall.
“How did it become like this?”
Emma, the priest, was muttering to himself a little lost.
It’s just that what she kept looking at was the darkness beyond the surrounding firelight, not the dragon knight in front of her.
Obviously the environmental changes caused by the First Fire are what she is describing in this sentence.
“The bell has sounded. There should be three of the four remaining salary kings, even excluding Eldridge who escaped!”
“The French Undead Team and the Capital of Crime How could something happen to the Giant King—Yum, the Exile of Courland—Ludos and the others?”
"Until today, no one has arrived at the Fire Sacrifice and sat on the Throne of Desire to maintain the First Fire!?"
[The Throne of Desire] is dedicated to the four salary kings who maintain the world during the transition period. Prepared fire transmission device.
The status of this thing is noble and sacred. After all, it is a part of the fire ceremony that keeps the world running.
So Lan En also saw a few words in the library of the Netherworld Church.
This technology is a technology that was absorbed into Lothric along with the refugees after Dolan Guleg was destroyed by Casas.
The normal way for the King of Xin to pass on the fire is to go to a place called the 'Initial Furnace', get in contact with the first fire, and burn one's own soul as firewood.
As for the special salary kings who support the operation of the world during the transition period of the Fire Passing Ceremony, they have their own exclusive thrones at the Fire Passing Sacrifice.
Up there, they don’t have to go to the initial furnace and come into contact with the initial fire to avoid being burned out in one go.
And you can remotely transmit your power to the First Fire through the throne, and barely keep the First Fire from extinguishing in a weak and continuous state. This allows Lothric to take advantage of this short period of stability to complete the Fire Passing Ceremony and restore stability to the world.
In the tens of thousands of years that Lothric has been in charge of the fire ceremony, even this situation can be said to be very rare.
But the current situation. There is no salary king even on the throne of desire?
There is no doubt that even for Lothrik, this is a severe situation that has never been seen before.
"It is precisely because the situation has become extremely serious that we must take action!"
Lorenzo said with a determined tone.
He put his iron-gloved palms on the side of the flying dragon's corpse, then clenched his fist into a fist and hammered it.
“Bang.”
“No matter what, we must go to see King Oceroes! Now is not the time to follow the king’s orders! Emma is the priest!”< br>
Lorenzo turned to look at the old priesthood leader, his tone almost accusatory.
“The reason why Lothrik founded the country is to spread the fire! Even His Majesty himself said that he only saved himself because he wanted to preside over the overall situation. If it reaches the point of no return, then he will be the one who is now The oldest and most powerful clan of gods should also join the First Fire to last the Age of Fire.”
"The courtyard where His Majesty locked himself is just above the church, not far from the road into the inner city."
"I don't understand, it has come to this! It seems that the first fire is going out. What's there to hesitate about? Why don't you even ask His Majesty for an idea?"
The surrounding Lothric knights couldn't help but burst into commotion.
They are all fire sects, and only then will they surround Lorenzo.
In this already divided country, they have decided that 'spreading fire' is more important than 'the royal family'.
Lorenzo's words were their tendency at the moment.
After bowing his head in silence for a long time, Priest Emma looked up at the lightless sky and finally sighed.
"Yes. Nothing is more important than inheriting the flame."
"Let's go, pick up a few powerful players, and I will show you the way to His Majesty's courtyard. "
It wasn't until Priest Emma sighed and said this that Lorenzo's expression softened, and the surrounding Lothric knights also seemed to have a slightly higher morale.
Wearing helmets, they nodded to each other as a celebration of hearing good news in this increasingly bad world.
But at this time, Lan En put forward a different point of view.
“I suggest it’s better not to let too many people go, everyone.”
Suddenly, everyone around them looked at the demon hunter.
As if the demon hunter couldn't feel these gazes, he fiddled with the small lantern on the waist of the dragon knight's body with the toe of his boot.
"This lantern is just hanging on his waist, but there is no sign of being lit, everyone."
The witcher raised his head and glanced around with his cat eyes.
“I don’t underestimate your fighting will, but... can you maintain your fighting power in the dark?”
The darkness in this world is not a simple phenomenon of light and shadow, but a kind of Something that actually has impact.
So the Lothric knights present now either have small lighted glass lanterns on their waists, or they have torches in their hands for lighting.
"But this guy will do."
Lan kicked the little lantern again that had not been lit until it broke.
“They serve the prince and have never changed their loyalty even at this stage. Therefore, it doesn’t matter even if they fight in the darkness.”
“Darkness is prospering now. If they take advantage of it now, Whose advantage is there? Is there any ability to deal with the elite knights?”
Even the most aggressive Lorenzo could only shut up under Lan En’s calm question. He gritted his teeth and bulged his apple muscles, but couldn't say a word to refute.
This is indeed a real problem.
To spread the fire, they should take action. But in this city, it is estimated that this is the only Fire Sect stronghold that still retains its organizational structure.
If this place is breached, then the Holy City of Fire Transferring Lothric will be equivalent to a complete fall.
“So what do you think?”
Priest Emma didn’t hesitate after making the decision, and directly asked the questioning Lan En if he had a plan.
"The plan does allow me to go alone."
Lan En said with a nonchalant expression.
"I am not a member of the Knights, and I have no cooperation in fighting with you. My leaving will not have much impact on the combat effectiveness here."
"And said It’s true that your mobility is really poor. It’s much more convenient for me to do it alone.”
Lorenzo’s expression froze.
Others may have doubts about this statement, but he had personally seen Lan En jump onto a roof several meters high with just a slight turn!
Although I don’t know why this guy can move so elegantly, there is no doubt that what he said is true.
"It seems that everyone has no objections?"
Priest Emma looked at Lorenzo's expression and nodded.
"Okay, it's settled. Come here, Lan En. I'll show you the way."
