Chapter 918 900. King's Courtyard
It is not difficult to point to the road to King Osroais' Courtyard, because in terms of distance, the courtyard is not far away from the church.
And Lan En looked at the expression of Emma's officiant.
"You don't look like you just want to show me the way."
"You That’s right.”
Emma, the priest, whispered to Lan En without leaving any trace.
"Compared to Lorenzo, who took office at the last moment, I actually know a little more. After all, the church is one of the main planners of the fire ceremony."
"And I want to tell you "It's an unexpected situation that is not suitable for making a loud statement."
The priest Emma turned her head to Lan En, she still lowered her head, and the priest's hood cast a heavy shadow on the upper half of her face. shadow.
“Is the situation of King Othroais bad?”
Lan En guessed that after all, the world has collapsed to this point, and the person known as the 'Holy King' has locked himself up. This is wrong no matter how you think about it.
“There is no doubt that something is wrong with His Majesty.”
The opening of Emma’s mouth was explosive news, but her tone was very calm. This contrast actually made Lan En feel Somewhat absurd.
“I’m worried about more serious problems.”
“For example?”
"For example, there is a problem at the Fire Sacrifice. Logically speaking, even if the salary kings who supported the world during the transition period have not arrived, the captured hero should have arrived. But as you can see, the world has now changed It’s like this.”
Lan En narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The things here sound very complicated. Tell me what I can do?"
"Being straightforward is a good quality in this critical moment." Emma, the priest, first praised it. Lan En was quick and then moved closer to him, lowering his voice.
“Deep in the courtyard of King Osroais, there is actually a secret passage.”
"The passage leads to the other side of this mountain range, to the back of Lothric City. And there is the Fire Sacrifice."
"I hope you will not only look at His Majesty, but also explain to him what is going on now. For external problems, we need to go to the Chuanhuo Sacrifice through there to see the situation at the sacrificial site."
"If it is true that no salary king has arrived, neither has the hero who was captured by us. "
"Then I need you to ring the big bell on the bell tower of the Fire Sacrifice Site again."
"Ring the bell for the second time?"
Lan En pondered.
“Can you tell me what this means?”
The first time I rang the bell, although the bell was not loud, it seemed to spread throughout the whole world.
At that time, the sound of the bell awakened the salary kings who should support the world during the transition period.
And this second time.
"The sound of the bell will wake up the ashes who have burned with the kings from ancient times to the present, but could not become kings."
Priest Emma paused and spoke in a low and deep tone. . Even the candlelight in the church swayed along with it, and the light and shadow trembled.
“That is the final method of Lothric’s fire-passing process. To awaken those Ash heroes who cannot become kings but are extremely eager for fire.”
“If the Fire Kings are not willing If you are not willing to support the world by spreading fire, then these ashes chasing the flame will make them 'willing'."
When the Fire Kings are spreading fire, they will be followed by a large number of Lothric knights and other warriors. .
This is not only support, but also surveillance and escort at the last moment to prevent the salary kings from doing anything wrong in the initial furnace.
And these warriors who burned with King Xin but were not called King Xin were ‘ashes’.
"I understand."
Lan nodded.
“If things really get that bad, I’ll ring the bell.”
After waiting for the officiant's seat at the deepest part of the church, officiant Emma signaled Lan En to move the chair. Then she took out a basin-like ritual instrument and placed it in front of the statue behind the original seat.
The statue is what is commonly seen in Lothric: a knight kneeling with a sword, rubbing his neck against the blade of the sword.
Symbolizes the dedication of the Knights of Lothric.
After the water basin was put down, the stone statue seemed to be alive. It really pressed the sword blade against its neck amidst the sound of 'Gululu' stones rubbing together.
The blood flowed from the neck under the helmet, along the sword blade, and was filled in the ritual basin.
Then, as if it met the conditions, an escalator descended from the upper level of the church.
Priest Emma and Lan En looked at each other, and the priest pointed to the escalator.
——
Lan climbed up the escalator with a strange look on his face, and then put the ladder away again.
From this height, he could even see the face of Priest Emma below.
You're not saying it's just this high, why bother? Can I just climb up?
Lan En complained, it seems that there are really few warriors in this world whose main style is elegance.
Most of them are playing slowly, then cheating, seizing the opportunity, and using [combat skills]. It seems quite difficult to achieve such a small height.
Lan En complained while compiling his mood, making himself nervous, and headed to the King's Courtyard.
“Go left after getting on the escalator”
Lan En muttered the path pointed out by Priest Emma and started to set off.
Mentos also marked messages on his retinas.
After walking not far, I walked out from under the dome of the church and was outside the building.
Although the location is high, there are still some tall trees that can extend the canopy to the side of the road.
It’s just that because of the lack of light during this period, the leaves on the crown of the tree show a decaying yellow color.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lan En began to rub the ring on his hand.
After a while, a sneaky sound of horse hooves came from below. The witcher stretched his head and looked down from the edge of the railing. Qilin was carrying a flannel ball below and looking up at the same time.
"Ha, I knew you were smart enough."
The witcher and Elcat gave each other a thumbs up.
The flannel ball was holding a torch in his hand, and it looked like he had made it himself.
The three-flowered kitten inserted the torch into the gap in the armor of Qilin's harness, then climbed up by holding on to the gap in the wall, and pounced on Lan En's chest.
"That's great, boss meow! You're okay too!"
"Fortunately you let us act normal at that time, meow. It was so scary when the knights in the city fought with each other. ! Fortunately, they saw that Qilin was just an ordinary horse and didn’t come here to kill us.”
Lan En rubbed his head and meowed about his experience with Qilin.
The knights of the coup wanted to kill people, but they didn't need to kill horses.
So under Lan En’s instructions, the Kirin behaved obediently, and there was the flannel ball under its wide rune cloth. During the most dangerous period at the beginning of the coup, no one bothered them at all, or even paid attention to them.
Easily dodged.
Later, in this increasingly dangerous city, the two of them did not dare to act rashly. It was just a matter of dismantling the stables, lighting a bright fire with wood, and dispelling the darkness.
Now I can confirm Lan En’s position through the connection with the magic horse harness, and he will be here immediately.
Lift the flannel ball off your chest and place it next to you. Lan En leaned down again and released the variant [Yaxi Seal].
‘Qilin, stand by below. '
"Xilulu! (Why! It's so scary here! I don't want no one to accompany me!)"
'Don't worry, the place I'm going to will probably be darker than outside. Still scary. ’
The Holy King of Lothric locked himself up and has not come forward until now.
Lan En didn't believe that there was nothing wrong, but something that could cause problems for a protoss known as the 'oldest and most powerful' today
Tsk, just thinking about it makes people's scalp numb.
Sure enough, when Lan En said this, Qilin, who had no spirit of challenge in the face of difficulties, immediately lowered his head. He was still serious, pretending to be walking nearby, and didn't look up again.
This makes Lan En feel a little guilty. This guy is so cowardly, he won't be able to call him out if something really happens soon, right?
However, after Lan En pointed downwards twice, Qilin reluctantly snorted to indicate that he was on standby.
Seeing that his 'Speed Mobile Device' was operating normally, Lan Encai led the flannel ball and continued to follow the route towards the King's Courtyard.
“Take these.”
As he walked, Lan En took out a stack of red frosted paper-like things from the alchemical leather bag on his waist and handed it to the flannel ball next to him. .
“Meow?”
The little paws of Velvet Ball took it over, not knowing why.
"This is a prop that can add flames to the weapons in your hands. It is a gift I got during my previous adventure. It is called [Fire Paper]."
Lan En was gesturing with his hands how to use it. While explaining.
He himself has the [Igni Seal], and with the technology of [Air Blade], he can easily make the blade engulfed in fire. Therefore, he has never had the chance to use this hunting prop produced in Yanan.
Now is a good time for a flannel ball.
“Just rub it on the strike end of the weapon. Now a special kind of monster has appeared in the city of Lothric, and its whole body is like a big ball of asphalt. They are like mad dogs, powerful, No rules, but extremely afraid of fire.”
"I got it, meow!"
El Cat's optimistic nature can make Lan En feel relaxed even in this cruel world.
He was a little lucky that he signed a contract with Flannel Ball in the New World.
Witnessing the process of a world slowly moving towards death and decline. This has a huge psychological impact.
At the end of this road is an elevator, which is still the kind of technology that Lan En can't understand the principle of.
The complex height differences of the mountain city's terrain mean that buildings in Lothric must often use steep stairs, escalators, and even such elevators to connect them.
On the elevator, Lan En’s hand pressed the scabbard on his waist.
Already secretly on guard.
After all, it has been easy and smooth so far.
It would be surprising if this was how a king sealed himself off.
The Prince Faction and the Fire Faction were fighting like this, but no one bothered the king. No matter what he said, it was wrong.
However, even though Lan En is mentally prepared to face some strange and even dangerous situations.
After the elevator stopped, the scene in front of him still made him open his eyes unconsciously.
“This is.”
A hesitant voice came from Lan En’s thin lips.
In the courtyard, you can vaguely see the exquisite vegetation plan and Gothic architectural style of this courtyard.
Similar to the open-air environment outside, the air here is also filled with flaky ash.
It’s just that the size of the flakes of ash is larger than the outside. The density also needs to be greater.
In fact, these flakes of ashes have accumulated in this courtyard.
The originally fertile ground with flowers and plants was completely covered in gray-white!
The large number and density made Lan En feel suspicious.
Those things that are scattered in Lothric City and turn the residents into plants. Could it be that they all spread out from here?
