Chapter 7 The Salary Kings Who Refuse to Pass the Fire!

Smack.

The figure of Suziyu fell directly from the sky.

Sister Frid, who had just been resurrected, seemed to have a slightly dazed expression, and there was a moment of confusion when her eyes fell on Su Ziyu's body, but then she completely regained consciousness, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the pair of strange scythes appeared directly in the palm of her hand, and then the nun still stood up very politely, leaned over slightly towards Su Ziyu, and said with a calm expression: "Unknown king." ”

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

The other party's state looked a little weak, and under the spiritual perception, Su Ziyu could vaguely feel that this nun's soul seemed to be a hollow, as if something had passed in it.

It's human nature.

Although the undead can be resurrected, they lose some of their humanity and memories every time they die, and in the end, they will directly become crazy geists.

Human nature is a complex thing.

It contains various emotions in the human sense, that is, the part of the seven emotions and six desires, and also contains various physical perceptions, such as appetite, touch and material desire, etc., and the two immortals Su Ziyu has encountered so far almost do not feel much pain.

"Do you want to fight?"

Su Ziyu's expression was slightly helpless, and he sighed: "Can't you just sit down and chat casually?" ”

Killing these undead has no source power.

In other words, they are not contaminants at all, but just a group of tools used to perpetuate the age of fire, these people died and came back to life, resurrected and died, and had to be dug out of the grave to continue to use when the fire was transmitted.

To be honest, Su Ziyu thinks they are quite pitiful.

The so-called mission of continuing the Age of Fire and saving the world is completely imposed on these immortals.

Even if it succeeds?

They should continue to enter the tomb or enter the tomb, and it will be a pile of embers from the first fire that will be burned to ashes, and at most the next time they need to pass the fire, they will become tool men again to be resurrected, and pick up the sword that has been sealed in the dust for an unknown amount of time.

"Aren't you going to kill me completely?"

Sister Frid's expression was slightly strange, as if she longed for death but was afraid of death, she looked at the Su Ziyu in front of her, and said softly, "You are the salary king." ”

"I am the embers without fire."

"If you kill me outright now, you'll have one less enemy later."

I won't be in this world for long.

Why fight with you immortals?

Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "Why do you have to do this? ”

"You attacked me because you are the embers without fire, and performing the ritual of spreading fire is a mission that has been imposed on you."

"I resisted because I didn't want to, and I didn't care what mission it was."

"The title of Salary King was just imposed on me by a ghost hiding in the corner."

"I'll find it sooner or later."

Su Ziyu has long discovered a problem, that is, the two undead who attacked him have a strange sense of resistance to passing fire, Hawkwood was only slightly suppressed and lost his fighting spirit, and Sister Fried obviously had other ways to fight, but she chose to face Su Ziyu with hard steel, and there was a faint illusion that she seemed to be here to die.

Hearing Su Ziyu's words, Sister Fried's expression was slightly puzzled, as if she was thinking, and the two scythes in her hands also fell down gently.

And at this time, Su Ziyu also asked the most critical sentence, and he said in a deep voice: "Actually, you don't want to spread the fire." ”

"Right?"

Sister Fred couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, she raised her head and looked at Su Ziyu in front of her without speaking, but her teeth bit the corner of her lip slightly, obviously in a struggle inside.

"The ritual of passing the fire continues."

Su Ziyu's thoughts became clearer and clearer, he looked at Sister Fred in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "But this world is still constantly corrupting and degenerating. ”

"There are more and more undead geistes."

"There are almost no lives left, so what if this fire transfer is successful?"

"It's all just a matter of survival."

"It's going to rot completely."

Su Ziyu has been in this world for more than a day, except for the two undead who spread fire, there is only one monster contaminated by human pus that can communicate a little, and he has not met any normal people again.

The world is almost hopeless.

If the fire can really save the world, these immortals should not lose their fighting spirit so easily, Su Ziyu just made Sister Frid in front of her lose the desire to fight, and at the same time, her expression was slightly dazed.

"What do you want from me?"

Sister Fride sat down softly, sitting by the campfire, and a pair of strange scythes were casually placed at her side, as if she didn't care if Su Ziyu would suddenly attack at this time.

She placed a white palm on top of the bonfire, and the flames touched the back of her hand without leaving any scars, but it did not melt into it, and Sister Fred turned her back to Su Ziyu and silently watched the bonfire, and said softly, "I am nothing but an ember without fire." ”

"It doesn't help you much."

The desire of the other side to fight is completely gone.

The perception brought by the spirit told Su Ziyu that Sister Fride was in a very strange state in front of her, as if there was a black ring in her body, and she was drawing a faint breath from the flames.

"Let's talk about it then?"

Su Ziyu also sat by the campfire, facing Sister Fried in front of her, and if something was wrong, she could react at any time.

Syllable.

He casually took out the demon gourd, poured a cup of immortal wine, and then handed it to Sister Fride in front of him, and said slowly, "Do you want a cup?" ”

"No need." Sister Fried shook her head lightly and said, "Nuns are not allowed to drink alcohol. ”

"Besides, I've long since lost my sense of taste for food."

It's pathetic.

Don't even need to eat?

Su Ziyu drank it all by himself, shook his head, and asked curiously, "Do you rely on roasting fire to replenish energy?" Don't need any food at all? ”

"The undead don't need food." Sister Fried said softly.

No wonder.

Su Ziyu found that it was difficult to find normal food in this world, and if the immortal didn't need food, it would be difficult for him to find some clean food by himself, so the stored food resources would have to be saved a little.

Probably attracted by the smell of fairy brew, Sister Fried's calm face changed slightly, she took out a slightly glowing bottle, and also poured a sip into the campfire, and soon a flash of sparks appeared on the surface of her body, and a warm breath of fire rushed through her body.

This is the only drink that the undead have a sense of.

- "Elemental Bottle (Curious): Unknown. ”

The contents were really like a magma-like liquid, and Suziyu could feel a trace of scorching breath through the campfire.

"Really, don't you try?"

"It's hard to come across a better wine in this world." Su Ziyu smiled.

Sister Fried in front of her is too calm, sometimes she seems to be a wooden person, this should be the state after the loss of human nature, Su Ziyu is curious whether she still has a desire for material things.

Sister Frede hesitated slightly, then reached out and took the wine poured by Suziyu, and she took the glass and drank it down.

Ahem.

In the next second, a flush appeared on Sister Fried's face, as if she was drinking for the first time, her eyes lit up slightly, and she muttered, "This is impossible." I can actually taste it. ”

"That's not right."

"It's not wine. It's a very pure energy. ”

"It's like an elemental bottle."

"Can you pour me another glass?"

Su Ziyu looked at Sister Fred, who was looking longing in front of her, and almost knew a little bit of the state of immortality, they were not completely insensitive, but passively lost all this.

"Please." Su Ziyu smiled and filled her up.

Souls in this world are very common, and he is not short of raw materials for brewing, and the souls that have fallen from Sister Fred's own body are enough to refine a lot.

"It's an amazing wine." Sister Fred drank another drink and didn't ask for it again.

She fell into deep thought.

These undead are really weird, Hawkwood will mumble to himself, Sister Fried likes to be in a daze, she seems to have been in a daze by the campfire since she was resurrected, if it were a normal person, she would just leave the neighborhood.

Almost.

Su Ziyu looked at Sister Friede, who seemed to be in a daze in front of her, and asked softly, "Has anything happened in this world recently?" ”

"Can you tell me about it?"

Sister Fride glanced up at Su Ziyu, her attention was still on the bonfire in front of her, and she said slowly: "According to the ancient agreement, the salary king who passed the fire this time was the second prince of Lothric, but the eldest prince of Lorien sheltered the second prince. ”

"They refuse to spread the fire."

"The ancient bells rang, and the people of the Fire Rite Arena awakened us, the immortal embers, to perform the fire rites necessary for the continuation of the world."

Refuse to pass the fire?

It looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be some kind of bullshit paycheck?

There are also people among the indigenous people of this world who refuse to spread fire.

Su Ziyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Tell me about these two princes." ”

Sister Fride looked up at the Suziyu in front of her, she thought for a while, and said slowly: "Because of the loss of humanity, I have forgotten some of the past. ”

"So all I can tell you is what I know."

Su Ziyu nodded silently, with a slight trace of sympathy for the nun in front of him.

It is said that the immortal embers will eventually forget even their own names.

Sister Fried is a little better, at least remember her past, those who have forgotten their names are the most pitiful, but these nameless embers are also the most terrible, they have taken the head of the Salary King in history.

A group of poor undead.

They are just a group of tool people who perform the ritual of passing fire.

Soon, from Sister Fridde's mouth, Su Ziyu obtained some of the most crucial information in this world.

The fire transmission ceremony in this world is held regularly, except for the soul of the first generation of the Sun King, Gwen, who burned for a long, long time, the other salary kings will not last long.

How long can burning the souls of some strong people sustain the vitality of a world?

Obviously not enough to burn.

As a result, the time interval of the fire transmission ceremony became shorter and shorter, and in the end, he even had to start cultivating the salary king in advance, because there were not many strong people who were qualified to be the salary king.

The second prince of Lothric is a poor man who was regarded as a salary king at birth.

However, the second prince seems to be under a curse and is frail and sickly, and his elder brother, Prince Lorian, is willing to bear the curse with his younger brother in order to protect him, which makes their souls entangled, so usually people refer to Prince Lothric as two people. I don't know when, Prince Lothric began to resist the transmission of fire, and even directly opposed the continuation of the fire, preparing for the arrival of the dark age after the flame was extinguished.

If the Salary King refuses to spread the fire, then it will naturally be the turn of the undead to appear.

But the Grand Prince of Lorian is too awesome.

This eldest prince is a fierce man who led the army to the demon's lair, and he single-handedly killed the demon prince born in the hotbed of chaos, even if he shared the curse of his younger brother, it was not a strong man that ordinary people could deal with.

No way.

The proponents of the fire can only ring the ancient bell to awaken the embers of the Burn Kings who once spread the fire.

That is, a stronger group of undead embers was awakened.

But even so, the supporters of the fire still felt that it was not enough to be safe, and they simply woke up with the salary king, who had burned once before but did not die.

These include Eldritch, the Sage of the Nether, Yum, the Undead of Farran, the Overseer of the Abyss, and Rudoth, the Alchemist.

The result?

Except for the alchemist Rudos, who went to the fire sacrifice ground, all the other salary kings refused.

The Sage Eldredge is now known as the 'Eldritch who devours the gods', and Sister Fred is not very clear, except that Eldredge has eaten a god, the Sun King Gwyndrin's son, the Shadow Sun.

Aldredge took a deity and hid, presumably somewhere to wait until it was completely digested.

The Giant King, Yum, remains on his throne in the City of Karma, and it is said that he may have been corrupted by the abyss, ignoring the call to spread fire, and anyone who comes near him will be mercilessly killed.

Fran's fortress has been sealed, and the Abyss Overseer-Fran's undead squad hasn't been seen for a long time.

In other words, except for one alchemist Rudos, the other four salary kings all refused to pass the fire, and some of the salary kings who had been burned once but did not die even did a lot of great things, and the Nether Sage-Eldredge ate the last true god descendant after being awakened.

"It's all like this?"

"Are you undead still obsessed with spreading fire?" Su Ziyu said secretly in his heart.

The fire transmission faction and the fire extinguishing faction directly tore their faces.

The kingdom of Lothric was reduced to ruins during the battle, and it is said that many of the dragons' massive corpses are still left in the royal city.

After so long of the fire-passing ceremony, many people are already feeling hopeless. They are reluctant to continue spreading the flames, preferring to face the dark ages after the flames are extinguished, hoping that one day the world will usher in a new life.

This was the case until the advent of the squid.

An existence that didn't know what it was knew about the arrival of Su Ziyu, and it found that Su Ziyu had divine power in his body, so the sixth salary king who could burn for a while longer was born.

That's him.

Su Ziyu, who has divine powers, is a fresh salary king that has not yet been burned.

………………

Fire Sacrifice Ground.

After sending away the annoying Sister Fried, Hawkwood fell into an inexplicable depression again.

But he didn't get depressed for long, as a heavy footstep drew closer.

He couldn't help but raise his head, as if he saw a dazzling light in front of him, it was a knight wearing heavy armor, exuding an oppressive momentum, his face was completely hidden under the helmet, only a pair of eyes that glowed with fire could be seen, a little trace of fire appeared on his body, faint sparks flew and sprinkled, this burly knight looked down at Hawkwood in front of him, and suddenly spoke.

- "Praise the Sun!! ”
