The royal city of Rodland is the legendary abode of the gods, Arnoor Lund.

At this moment, because Nan Xiao and they had an accident near the city gate, Wang Cheng was also on strict alert.

Bands of soldiers poured out of the royal city, scattered to the intersections, and began to scrutinize the pedestrians in the streets.

In such a situation, it is quite troublesome for ordinary people to reach the Rodeland Cathedral, which is close to the royal city.

After receiving the summons from the fire woman, the celebrant of the Rodland Cathedral was very worried. He is more aware of the recent situation in Rodland. On the surface, it looks like nothing, but in fact, the high-level is very nervous, and they send troops to arrest people at every turn.

At that moment, he saw a young man walk in with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking around.

What a system! He thought angrily: this is the Rodland Cathedral, and it's not for you to sightsee!

"If you are not a believer who has come to pray, please withdraw. It is a sacred place, bathed in the majesty of the great gods of Arnorlund, and there is no room for desecration. ”

The priest spoke as calmly as he could, but anger erupted in his eyes.

An acquaintance of his suddenly walked in. "Priest Javier!" She was embarrassed and said, "I beg your pardon, he doesn't understand the customs of Rodland......"

"Anastasia?" The main priest looked at the fireproof woman in front of him, a little surprised, "You're not looking for ......"

"Found it."

"So he is?"

"That's right."

These two people talk like playing dumb riddles, and if they don't understand the inside story, they must be able to hear the clouds. But Nan Xiao still quickly understood, it was about looking for the Fire Warrior.

Sure enough, the next moment the attitude of the priest of Havel changed, and he was very respectful. "O brave man from the Otherworld," he looked at Nan Xiao sincerely, and said, "Thank you for coming to Rodland. Maybe you don't know much about this place, but may I explain it to you a little bit? ”

If you bow to others, you must ask for something, Nan Xiao already knows very well what the priest of Javier wants to say.

Sure enough, he then said, "In fact, we are sitting on a volcano that will erupt at any moment." As you walk along the way, you see a peaceful, beautiful and tidy city. But in reality, the city is pregnant with risks. ”

"The plague of the undead?" Nan Xiao asked.

"That's right. Tens of thousands of years have passed since His Majesty the God King Gwen defeated the ancient dragon. The first fire faded, and the plague of the undead gradually spread. In Rodran, in Astra, in Lothric, there are many, many kingdoms where the undead have appeared. How to deal with the plague of the undead? There are generally two views. One view is that we should imprison them, and the other is that the brave man who will save the world will eventually be born in their midst. So we have to put them through a series of trials. ”

"Sounds like an internal affair in your world." Nan Xiao commented.

"At first, we thought so. But then we discovered that the Dark Mark had spread to other planes, and infections continued to occur. This would lead to similar tragedies in other planes. That's why we sent firefighters like Anastasia. They travel the worlds in search of those who bear the mark of darkness, summoning them to Rodland, asking them to be put to trial and become the Brave. We have discovered that the Dark Mark can give you the ability to travel through all planes. This has allowed you to grow up quickly and have the power to save the world. ”

Priest Javier bowed his head: "O undead brave man from another world, I, Javier, I sincerely ask you to save the world of Rodland." Give the people who live in this world a chance to live. ”

"Why do I have to do this?" Nan Xiao looked at Javier with interest, "Actually, the reason why I came to Rodland is to hear what the reason is in this. ”

Javier nodded: "Can I ask you a question?" ”

"Of course."

"Do you have someone you like? Some beautiful girl? ”

"Yes," Nan Xiao said, "but I doubted I would ever leave Rodland alive, so I separated from her." ”

Such a straightforward answer made Javier a little embarrassed, he rubbed his forehead, and continued: "Okay, the girl you love so much must be living in a peaceful and happy world at this time. As you walk from the gates of Rodland to the cathedral, you will see girls who may not be as beautiful as her, but who share her aspirations. Fall in love with someone and live your life happily and peacefully. But if we allow the plague of the undead to continue to spread. Soon they will have to face their demise with their eyes open. The first flames are extinguished, the world is plunged into darkness, monsters emerge from the darkness, and the dead get up again, leaving only dark flames in their parched eye sockets...... A desperate future looms ahead. Unless, there are people like you who are willing to lend a hand. ”

Nan Xiao thought for a moment: "Since defeating the ancient dragon, Rodlan has existed for ten thousand years? ”

"Maybe longer. It's been a long time since some ancient books have been lost, and a lot of history has been obliterated. ”

"Don't you think that the glorious era of Rodland is over? Just as a fire will eventually go out, a city, a kingdom, and a continent will eventually come to an end. I have deep sympathy for Rodland, but heaven and earth have their own laws, and I should not interfere with its development. ”

The expression of loss and regret on Javier's face was clear, but it seemed that he wanted to try to persuade him a little more: "However, you can't be alone in this plague of the undead. There is no solution to the fact that the Circle of Darkness leads to the loss of humanity. If we don't stop this plague, then every immortal will eventually become a living corpse without humanity. There has been a large number of people who have proven this. ”

Nan Xiao thought for a moment: "Maybe you're mistaken, I'm not an immortal. He generously flexed his muscles, "Look, there's no Ring of Darkness that you said. ”

Javier looked at Anastasia in surprise: "This...... What's going on? ”

Anastasia said helplessly: "This brave man...... He's too powerful. His power has even transcended life and death, thus freeing him from the mark of darkness—"

"Impossible!" Javier excitedly interrupted the fire woman, "No one has ever been able to escape the curse of the Ring of Darkness, never!" ”

"But he did really get rid of it," the firefighter looked deeply helpless, "and the coercive force dissipated from him. He gained the power of the Dark Ring, but escaped the curse of the Dark Ring. ”

The expression on Javier's face at that moment was wonderful. This may be the first time he has been on a mission for so many years. The wrinkles on his face are densely layered, and the whole expression reflects emotions such as compassion, sorrow, regret, helplessness, worry, and persistence. If it was an ordinary person, he would be 100% moved, but Nan Xiao felt that there was a problem. He took a closer look, and saw the words in the folds of the old man's face, and there were two words written on them - cannibalism!
