Chapter 3403 Ask for Help

The wandering businessman was very good at coming, and told Fang Zheng the whole story like a storyteller, and according to Ka Lie's narration, Fang Zheng also figured out the background of this world.

To put it simply, this world was originally ruled by the Golden Law and the Elden Ring, but later the Elden Ring was broken, and its fragments were seized by the demigods. In order to recast the Ring, they obtained this They began to fight for the dominance of the area called the borderland, and they performed a battle for hegemony.

As for the inhuman and ghost things that Fangzheng saw, it was also due to the impact of the broken Elden ring. According to the golden law, the souls of those blessed by the golden tree will return to the golden tree after death, and then return to the golden tree. Born from the golden tree. However, due to the broken law ring and the chaos of the law, those who were blessed were caught in the middle—to put it bluntly, their state was very similar to what Fang Zheng encountered in the city of the dead at the third coordinate point Undead, neither born nor dead, neither alive nor dead. So people gradually started to go crazy, except for a few people who still managed to maintain their sanity, most of them became hospitable lunatics—basically when they saw you, they wanted to rush up and give you a loving hug.

But to be honest, Fangzheng is not interested in this, let alone the rune or dharma ring, there is only one thing he wants to know.

"Flame, I want to know, is there any legend about Flame or... seals in this place?"

"........."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Ka Lie was silent for a while.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Well, maybe we'll discuss this again later."

Seeing that Ka Lie didn't want to answer, Fangzheng didn't say much. He found that people in this world seemed to be quite cautious about their questions about flames. The white mask was the same, and so was Ka Lie. Maybe it's because of that huge golden tree that fire is kind of taboo in this world?

After all, trees are most afraid of fire.

But Fangzheng is not completely helpless about this, after all, he is still a prophecy mage, even if these people don't tell him the situation, he can still feel it in the dark. It's just a waste of time if you do your own research.

After bidding farewell to the wandering merchants, Fangzheng continued to move forward along the small road. He also encountered many soldiers along the way. Although Fangzheng wanted to show his friendship with them at first, it was a pity that these people were just like Ka Lie said. Seeing Fangzheng, he immediately raised his weapon and slashed at him. His level of hospitality was comparable to that of the villagers of Yanan and the knights of Lothric... So what else could Fangzheng do? I had to draw my sword and cut people down.

But the only good thing is that compared to Black Soul and Yanan, the scenery of this place is really good. It is pleasing to watch, and there are cute little animals running around all over the ground. If you are happy, you can hug one up and have a good time.

It's as if Fangzheng is sitting next to a campfire right now, stroking the little fluffy animal in his hand. The little guy came past him just now, and Fang Zheng grabbed his tail and hugged him in his arms and licked it up. It didn't seem to know what to do at all, it just looked at Fangzheng pitifully with wide eyes—it didn't dare to move anyway.

However, just when Fangzheng was addicted to the furry feeling, a figure quietly emerged from the darkness and came to his side. Fangzheng raised his head, and saw a woman in a cloak standing there,

"Hello, the one who came through the fog...my name is Melina..."

As she spoke, the woman walked up to Fang Zheng and sat down, then put down her hood, revealing her face inside. I saw that her left eye was closed tightly, and there was a tattoo-like pattern next to it. And her right eye was staring at Fangzheng with a bit of caution.

"I want to make a deal with you."

"condition?"

Fangzheng touched the soft belly in his hand, and looked at the woman who called herself Melina.

"What conditions?"

"Do you know the Finger Witch?"

The woman continued to speak.

"They are the ones who serve the two fingers, help, and guide the faded...but now you, there is no witch by your side...I can take their place..."

However, before Melina could finish her sentence, she saw a fire-proof woman in a black robe and a white crown covering her eyes quietly appearing behind Fang Zheng, staring at her quietly.

Oh, she's in a hurry, she's in a hurry.

“…………………”

Seeing the fire-proof girl who suddenly appeared, Melina was obviously a little confused, not sure what the situation was. And Fangzheng chuckled, and touched the furry in his hand again.

"As you can see, Miss Melina, I don't have a finger witch, but I have a fire girl, so it's not too bad, isn't it?"

"Sister Huo......???"

Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Melina seemed a little surprised, but she mustered up her courage, looked at Fangzheng again and said.

"I hope you can help and take me to the foot of the golden book tree. In return, I can guide you on the way forward. As long as you are eager for Elden's ring, then this will definitely help you."

"Honestly, I don't care about that magic ring."

“……………………”

Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, Melina didn't know what to say for a moment, while Fang Zheng stared at her.

"However, it is not impossible for me to help you, but in turn, you have to help me... I am looking for a kind of flame."

"……………flame?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Melina's face changed slightly.

"That's right, the flame that can devour and burn everything, do you know where this thing is?"

"...That is not something you can control."

Melina stood up and distanced herself from Fangzheng. This time, she looked at Fangzheng with a little more vigilance.

"I'm very sorry, maybe I shouldn't bother you."

After saying this, Melina's figure just disappeared in the air, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at the fireproof woman beside him.

"Well, it seems that we don't expect to get any clues... This world is really full of malice..."

Not only has he sealed his own flame, but even this flame is still a secret in this world... Well, it's really troublesome.

Forget it, find it yourself.

As for where to find it...Fangzheng also has his own way.

The erected branch shook, and then fell to the ground with a "click".

"Okay, this way."

Fangzheng looked at the direction that the fallen branch on the ground was pointing at, muttered something in a low voice, then turned over and rode on the golden war horse, and galloped along the road ahead.

The direction that the branch pointed was not the royal city that White Mask had mentioned before, but the road in the opposite direction. Although he didn't know what was there, but for Fangzheng, as long as he got there, he would naturally know.

Along the way, he met those warm and hospitable soldiers who greeted him, but he was obviously not interested in wasting time with these idiots on his horse. Fangzheng swung the sword in his hand, and the heads of those soldiers flew up one after another. Turned into a corpse lying on the side of the road. As for whether they will be resurrected again... that's not what Fang Zheng needs to care about.

However, just as Fangzheng was speeding past on the road, he suddenly saw a young girl sitting on the side of the road not far away. So Fang Zheng hurriedly slowed down, stopped beside the woman, and looked at her curiously. It was a blond girl, she was wearing a pink robe, tied a ponytail, and covered her eyes with a cloth... Hmm, it seems that there is something wrong with her eyes?

Seemingly hearing the sound of horseshoes, the woman turned her head and looked at Fangzheng.

"...is anyone there?"

"That's right, Miss, what are you doing by the roadside alone?"

"Very good."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the blond woman breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Please, please listen to me. My name is Irena, and I escaped from Moen City in the south. The servants in the city rebelled, and I was born with poor eyesight, so I couldn't fully understand what happened. But I heard terrifying screams coming from all directions, and my father let me escape...but he is still in that city, thinking that it is the duty of those in power."

Having said that, the blond woman sighed.

"...I am very worried about my father. The servants are very angry. They hate everyone. Those who escaped together were attacked by them and all disappeared. Will Moen City be in the same situation...so I think Please, can you give this letter to my father who is staying in the city?"

As she spoke, the blond woman took out a handkerchief.

"Even if he will bear the reputation of being a coward who abandoned the city, I still hope that my father will leave that city...I hope he survives."

"That's all right...but what do you do?"

Fangzheng looked around. To be honest, the journey was not smooth. In fact, when he was crossing the bridge just now, the other party directly bombarded him, which shocked Fangzheng. I have to say that the neighborhood seems to be full of lunatics, such a young girl is here, and she doesn't seem to have much fighting power, leaving her here alone... Well, I don't think it's a good idea.

"Have you no guards?"

"They all... disappeared."

"Uh……………"

Hearing the blonde girl's answer, Fangzheng scratched his head.

"Then how about this, Miss Irena, it's not safe for you to stay here alone. I have a solution. Why don't I take you back to the city, and you can talk to your father yourself?"

"………Hey?"

It has to be said that Fang Zheng's proposal was beyond the expectation of the blond girl, and she couldn't help being stunned.

"this……………"

"Don't worry, with my strength, I can definitely protect you. I am mainly afraid that if I leave, there will be no one around you. If a wolf comes to snatch you away and eat you, it will be a waste of effort... ……”

Fangzheng has seen this kind of thing too much in RPGs. Basically, the child begged the player to save his father, and then the player worked hard to rescue his father. When they came back together, the child disappeared, either because he was taken away or Just die... Then the player has to save the child or avenge the child. In the next plot, the kind one will set the child to be rescued, and then the father joins the protagonist's team. If it was black and deep, then either the father died while saving the child, or he died with the boss to avenge the child.

In a word, riding a horse is a routine.

Of course, there is another situation where Fangzheng ran over with all the hardships, but the father was about to die, and finally left a last message for Fangzheng to convey, and Fangzheng came back to find that his daughter was also dead... This possibility Not without it.

Because there are too many situations like this in the game, Fang Zheng’s first reaction when encountering this kind of thing in reality is... I won’t help you pass on the word, I will take you there directly, and when the time comes, should I persuade you or listen to your last words? Do it yourself? I just want to be a bodyguard with no emotions, isn't that enough?

I'm not your megaphone, I'm not tired from running back and forth!

This kind of shit is the most common in online games. A entrusts the player to go to B to send a message. After finding B, B says that he has work to do and cannot go back to meet A for the time being. Then he asks the player to help B complete the task, and then B will say that he has work to do. I will be responsible for the part, asking the player to go back and tell A that I will go back later, and then the player has to run back again... MMP, I feel annoying when I think about it!

“…………………”

Hearing Fang Zheng's suggestion, the blind girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded, stood up, and stretched out her hand to Fang Zheng.

"Then... I will trouble you."
