Chapter 652 "City of Ashes" Rodel
Rodel, the "City of Ashes".
The city is still the same city, but now, the whole of Rodel has been covered by the heavy ashes left by the burning golden tree, and the original lower city area can no longer be found.
At this time, there are still burning sparks falling in the sky, and after burning out, they merge with the ashes on the ground.
When they set foot here again, everyone except Li You couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"That city has become like this... but the golden tree looks basically unchanged." V couldn't help but look at the burning golden tree, "It's just a layer of bark that was burned off, and the ashes that fell are about to bury Rodel?"
"After all, it's the golden tree." Kara continued, "It's the cornerstone that supports Rodel's existence."
Li You stood at the front of the team and looked up, but he was looking at the palace built on the golden tree. Because the palace complex is much higher than the ground, it has not been buried yet, and it is still high above, exuding a majestic and solemn atmosphere.
After looking for a while, he turned his head and said to his companions: "Let's go. If I'm not mistaken, there will probably be another tough battle before we reach the throne of Elden."
Everyone was shocked. If Li You could say it was a tough battle, then the other party must be difficult to deal with.
So they began to adjust their status and then moved forward together. There are basically no enemies in the royal city now. After all, most of it has been buried in ashes. Even if there are remaining guards, they will not pose a threat.
The road in the city has also become very simple. A group of people stepped on the piled up ashes and went straight to the Golden Tree Temple.
This temple was originally a hub connecting the upper palace and the lower city. If they had come here before, the golden phantom of "King of the Beginning" Ge Fulei should have stood in front of the group.
But now that the golden tree has been ignited, perhaps the phantom left by Ge Fulei has long lost the power to maintain its existence, so it did not appear. Instead, a familiar figure stood in front of the Great Temple, waiting for Li You and his party.
"Sir Baizhi" Gideon Ofnir.
"...You are really not that smart, 'Baizhi'."
Looking at Gideon who was waiting in the temple, Li You spoke from a distance.
"...It is you. Are you going to meet the Elden Ring and become the King of Elden, or will you put the person you choose on the throne?" Gideon also looked at the group, "...I am so sad. I agree with your will, but it is another matter to let you get what you want."
"Because what Queen Marica wants us to do is to maintain the status quo and keep struggling."
The expressions of the companions were a little strange, and they all looked at Li You: The tough battle you are talking about, you don't mean this guy with a bad brain, right?
Li You responded with his eyes: Of course not!
In the eyes of everyone, Gideon is indeed suspected of not having a good brain. It's okay to not see the strong and the weak, and what he said is even more incomprehensible.
Queen Marica wants them to maintain the status quo and keep struggling? This is completely different from what everyone has seen along the way, Queen Marica's idea.
Apart from anything else, can you understand Marika better than her own daughter who was entrusted with the mission of choosing the king?
Li You actually didn't understand what Gideon was thinking. He had reminded him in the round table hall before, just to let Gideon think it over. And now it seems that this guy has thought about it and still came.
"Since you still decide to block here after I reminded you, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li You then drew out the spiral sword, "I was originally thinking, if you can be more sober, should I leave you a place in the new era."
Li You didn't like Sir Baizhi's style of doing things. The reason why he clashed with his adopted daughter, Nefeli Lu, was because Nefeli, as a pure warrior, discovered the crimes that Sir Baizhi had committed behind his back.
But Li You also knew that if Millicent wanted to govern the border after the war, it would not be possible to rely solely on moral saints and idealists. That would lead to chaos and even destruction. Characters like Baizhi were also indispensable.
In this regard, veteran Anpahe can become an important role in the new dynasty, but even he has shortcomings compared to Sir Baizhi, that is, his execution ability without scruples.
So what Li You said, that he had thought of leaving an important position for Sir Baizhi, was indeed serious.
And Sir Baizhi has already picked up the staff: "I don't expect you to understand my thoughts, so let's use the most primitive method to resolve the differences at this time... Let's do it."
The light on Sir Baizhi's staff lit up, and even Li You was very familiar with the magic circuit, and the broom star was about to roar out!
Then, Sir Baizhi saw that the roaring fire dragon had arrived in front of him.
Baizhi: "......!!"
"Roar--!!"
Eight fire dragons swept past like a frenzy, and when they retreated, Sir Baizhi was already lying on the ground half-dead, his body charred and motionless.
Everyone: "..."
Li You didn't take Baizhi's fighting power to heart at all. Even though he was one of the founders of the Round Table Hall and one of the oldest faders, his fighting power was not even a stumbling block in front of Li You.
Let alone Li You, even if it was a fader in the game, it would be impossible for Bai Zhi to stop him after killing his way here.
And Bai Zhi was still muttering his last words: "...I know everything. A fader cannot become a king, and neither can you."
"...Humans cannot kill gods."
Li You subconsciously touched the black knife on the other side of his waist, ignored him at all, and walked from him with everyone.
"Don't you make a knife?" Kara asked.
"Look at his life." Li You replied, "I basically didn't keep my hand just now. If he could survive, even if he had a hard life, he left him a position in the new era."
Li Lian looked at Milson and nodded: "Although I was not very interested in these in the past, Mikala had carefully learned how to control the country ... I understand."
"It seems that we don't need to worry." Li You smiled. After all, even if something else is, he really doesn't understand this piece. At most, he has some plausible knowledge obtained by watching historical novels in the past. Since Milson himself has it, he doesn't need to draw his hands.
As a result, the group passed through the Golden Tree Temple, up the road, and passed through the queen's boudoir, and arrived at Elden's throne.
Here is the throne of the King of Alden. It is a platform built on the exit of the golden tree, that is, the place where the "blessing king" monk was scolded by the ministers.
Of course, because Li You did not come to Wangcheng before, they also met with Meng Geter theory for the first time. However, when I saw the mysterious king who returned the coalition forces and defended Wang Cheng in the broken war, the group was stunned again.
"Son of Evil?"
"Markit?"
Carla and V made different doubts and surprises, but they were surprised by the identity of the comer.
Yes, at this time, standing in front of Alden Baoda is exactly what everyone met in front of the earliest Shi Dongweier City. Human Markit.
V is more surprised by the identity of Markit's identity of the blessing king, but Kara, who has a deeper understanding of the junior field, is unsolved. The "blessing king" will be evil. Son of Zhao!
The son of evil signs was regarded as a taboo. Can he become the master of Rhodel?
Li You is not surprising. Looking at the "old friend" who slowly turned around in front of Alden's throne, he said, "You are still here."
Malkit also looked at him: "... I didn't expect, and finally burned the golden trees and committed a felony. From the beginning, I knew that you were dangerous, but I did not expect to underestimate it. you."
He swept his eyes, crossed Li You and others one by one, and stayed on Milson for a while. Finally, he took a step forward with a cane and stomped hard: "The hero who is ambitious, the fader who is not blessed And the half god who abandoned the past ... you are all the hills! "
He lifted his cane in front of him and clenched it hard.
Meng Ge waved his knife, the magic broke out, and looked at Li You and others: "A group of traitors who do not know obey, hostile to the golden tree, the predators who played for the fire of ambitions ... In your ignorance epitaph On the inscription, engraved with the name of Meng Gut, the last king of me! "
Meng Gut was aggressive, but Li You stood upright, turned a blind eye about his murderousness, and even just raised his hand and gently, and cut the magic flood that came from the face!
This made Meng Ge's momentum immediately stagnant, and Li You looked at him and said lightly: "You are not enough, let that one come out. Or ... you stay here to stop the later. Strive for him? "
Meng Get's face changed slightly, raised his own mantra sword, and said, "The nonsense of the thief ..."
But at this moment, the other is still a little old, but still thick and low sound, from the direction of the golden tree.
"... Okay, Meng Gut."
Hearing this sound, Mengget's face changed again and looked back.
The dull footsteps sounded, and on the steps to the inside of the golden tree, a burly man gradually came out of the shadow of the flame.
He has been in some age, his hair is all white, wearing a simple crown, wearing a rough but decorative armor, a double -edged ax in his hand has lost nearly half of the ax face in the endless battle, but even more With the breath of killing.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
A lion spirit wearing armor was lying on his back, and he kept roaring in his mouth, staring at Li You and others.
The man was carrying a big ax, stepped down step by step, and came to Al's throne, opposite everyone. Others did not respond too much, but at the moment the man appeared, Milson couldn't help but shock.
With his appearance, Meng Gut also subconsciously retreated to the side, and then asked with anxiety and puzzlement: "Why ..."
And this man looked at him and shook his head slightly: "Meng Gut, you don't understand the mission of the faded person. Heroes, fades, and half gods. The reason why they come here is because Mary The promotion of the card ... This is all to choose the real king, to let the new era open on the junction. "
"That being the case, I can't leave these latecomers and go to see Alden French Ring alone. This battle will also decide who will become the king of the new world."
Mengget still has something to say: "But ..."
"Don't say more." The man interrupted it again, "You have done enough. When I waited, it was you defending Wangcheng. Now you don't need to pay for sacrifice ... and give it to me."
Monggot was silent for a long time before he finally lowered his head: "I understand... King."
"'King'?" The man seemed to have a bitter smile on his face, but it disappeared immediately. Monggot stood aside, leaving the man alone with Li You and his group.
The man took a step forward, exhaled and spoke, and a bell-like voice sounded: "... It's really not easy to fight until now! The great Elden Ring is indeed in sight, and only the last step is left to complete the king's career."
"However, I have returned here!" The man's tone was a little higher, "What I want is to see it again."
He swung the battle axe in his hand, changing from one hand to two hands, and then took a heavy step forward, saying in a deep voice: "My name is Ge Fulei - the original Elden King!"
As the thunderous declaration fell, the spirit lion lying on his back also roared suddenly, turning into a storm, sweeping towards everyone!
This time the impact was far from comparable to that of Monget, and Li You raised his hand to block it in front of him to resolve the impact. Looking at Ge Fulei, who was as imposing as a towering mountain, Li You's expression became particularly serious.
As he expected, this enemy would be worthy of the experience along the way, and the next battle would be a test of absolute strength!
All the companions were ready. Even when they didn't know the man's identity, they could feel the strong sense of oppression on him. After knowing his identity, no one dared to be careless - that was Ge Fulei, who fought with Queen Marica and finally established the battlefield king of the Golden Dynasty!
However, what no one expected was that Li You stepped forward at this time and said, "The King of the Beginning, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"
"As you said, this battle will determine who will open a new era for the border area. If it is a mess, it will be bad. So..."
Li You raised his sword and pointed it at Ge Fulei: "How about you and me, a one-on-one duel?"
Everyone was shocked when he said this!
Not to mention the surprise of Ge Fulei and Monget, Li You's companions were anxious.
V was the first to speak: "Wait, are you kidding? Just based on that guy's aura... He is definitely stronger than the Black Sword! It's hard to say even compared to the complete Ratan!"
Aiji also said: "The spirit lion on his back also has powerful magic power. I'm afraid it can materialize at any time, which is not good for you."
But compared to them, people in this world can understand Li You better.
Millicent said, "...That's the 'King of the Beginning' Ge Fulei. If you hadn't appeared, he would have a great chance of becoming the King of Elden again. You want to fight him... The risk is very high."
Melina's figure appeared beside her. She threw away her cloak and held a dagger in her hand. It seemed that she wanted to join the battle. At this time, she said, "Only by gathering everyone's strength can we have a greater chance of defeating those two. If you go alone, I'm afraid the outcome will be unpredictable."
Kara also developed the thinking habit of this world. At this time, she just asked, "...Master, are you sure you want to do this?"
Li You nodded to her and everyone else, "I want to do this, leave it to me."
Since he said so, everyone could naturally see that he had made a decision, so they didn't say anything more.
"Then win!"
"...Be careful."
"I believe in you, Master."
Li You showed his signature smile to his companions, and then turned to Ge Fulei: "Sorry for the wait, come on."
Ge Fulei looked at him with a strange expression: "You are indeed a powerful warrior, and you are fully capable of fighting me."
"But if I am not mistaken, you are not going to become the king, why not let the king you choose fight? You must know that strength is the reason for being the king. If she does not have enough strength, even if she is sent to the throne by you, she will not be able to govern this border."
Li You said: "In the border area, it is indeed necessary to have strength to sit firmly on the throne, but the king I chose is not only powerful, but also has the qualifications to become a king... Let's not talk about this."
"She has enough strength, no doubt. And this battle will be the honor I have won!"
Ge Fulei was also stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha! Good!"
"In that case, then come!"
Li You raised his sword: "Please!"
