Lothric has three pillars, the knight, the priest, and the sage of the Great Library, the knight represents the power of the outward conquest, the priest maintains the church to preside over the ceremonies, and the sage, who studies magic.

In addition, the king's black hands representing the royal family are purely loyal to the royal family, just like their name, they clear the way for the royal family behind their backs, and when it is necessary to assassinate the enemy, the king will tell them to do it, although they are powerful but few in number, there are only three black hands in each generation.

And the one who came to the church through the secret passage of the royal palace was Goethe Hilter, one of the three black hands.

"Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince needs time, and the eldest prince is with him now."

"When will His Royal Highness wait until the work of spreading the fire is ready, but he is reluctant to come forward, the world cannot be plunged into darkness because of his willfulness." As the nurse of the prince, the priest remembered that he had taught His Royal Highness the Second Prince the responsibilities that he should take since he was a child, but since the second prince had studied with the Initial Sage for a while, his mentality had changed.

"I have no right to interfere with the decision of His Royal Highness," Goethehilt's voice was flat, he was only a blade in the hands of the royal family, "At this point, you just have to wait." ”

After saying that, the figure of the black hand disappeared into the secret passage again.

"We can't wait any longer, there are more and more immortals in the city, even the black pus has appeared, and the flames can't last long." The priest coughed heavily, and the old man bowed down, holding the handle of the chair and sat down, "Something must be done......

At the top of Lothric, in the large library of the royal city, a young man in a black robe was leaning against a large bench, his arms exposed under the robe were as slender as sticks, and his long gray hair was scattered around his ears, he was like a delicate woman, and every movement seemed to take a lot of effort.

"Brother, how long are you going to hide here?"

A soft voice sounded beside him, and a tall knight in golden armor with a crown of thorns covering half of his face came to sit down next to the young man, he had the same long gray hair, even if he could not see the whole picture, he was the hero of the country, the strongest knight and future king, Prince Lorian, his height compared to the second prince on the bench, Lothric, his height set off the weakness of his younger brother.

"It's just a deception, a curse, brother, I was born because of this curse." The second prince's voice was very pale and weak in the empty hall, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, he was more like a tool than his brother, no need for love, no affection, let alone a friend.

Seeing his brother's eyes, the eldest prince stretched out his hand, wanting to comfort the other party, but he hesitated, and finally changed his appearance when the words came to his mouth, "I can replace you, I am stronger than you." ”

Hearing the eldest prince's words, the younger brother became even more excited, "Don't you understand, this is a curse that keeps going, why should we let it continue?" ”

"Yes...... But we can't let the world be destroyed by the flames extinguished, we are the princes of Los Ric, and we have an obligation to protect this country. The eldest prince paused, his education since childhood made him still unable to be persuaded by his younger brother, "Moreover, my father ......"

"You still mention him!?" The second prince became even more angry, "He is not worthy of being our father at all, he is already crazy!" You must have not seen him in a long time, right? He's been locking himself up in that courtyard since his mother left, and you know what he's done? ”

Obviously, the eldest prince, who had been fighting for a long time, didn't know what his younger brother had experienced before he was about to spread the fire, "Father, what's wrong with him?" ”

"Because my body is too weak to take on the role of transmitting fire, he thinks that there is a problem with the continuation of the bloodline, and he is now studying the power of the forbidden white dragon, and he wants to incarnate as a dragon." The second prince's voice began to grow louder, only to be replaced by a painful cough.

The secret revealed by the second prince obviously shocked the eldest prince, and it was difficult to organize his words for a while, "I'm going to find him, I'm going to stop him!" ”

"You don't have to go, he's completely insane, he can't wait to do the next experiment after he did it on me." The second prince stopped his brother who wanted to get up and leave, and stretched out his slender fingers with only skin and bones, which no longer seemed like what ordinary people should have, "Does he think that people can turn into dragons so easily?" I can't even stand up now, and that's because of Him! ”

"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't know so much happened!" The eldest prince Lorian shook his brother's hand, his eyes showing sympathy and love, "Let me be your legs, swear by my sword, I will always protect you!" ”

"Thank you, brother, but the curse has made me unable to hold on any longer, I can't hold on for long, hehe, even if I can still pass the fire, how long can I continue to serve this world? With my ruined body. ”

The two brothers who did not need to fight for royal power from the beginning, even because of the physical gap, as the elder brother, still loved his younger brother, and the younger brother admired the elder brother, the two are like two sides of fate, one is destined to sacrifice, and the other is destined to protect.

At this moment, the eldest prince made a decision, he would take on all this with his younger brother.

It was in this room of the Great Library that the souls of the two brothers were entwined, and the vow to share the curse and bear the curse together was made in the absence of other witnesses.

Between the majestic gates and the church of the city of Lothric, several undead people were escorted out by two knights.

These undead seem to be in a bad state, they have been hiding in the city for a long time, until when they are discovered, they are not far from being turned into living corpses, they must be sent to the undead settlement as soon as possible, this danger cannot be left in the royal city, they will attack anyone who is still alive like beasts hungry for blood.

Before he could get out of the city gate, one of the immortals began to fall to the side as if he could not hold it, and a knight stretched out his spear to hold him, but saw a white flake like a snowflake float from nowhere and fall on the undead's body.

"Hurry up!"

The fallen undead did not respond, and the knight was about to pull him up from the ground, when he saw that the other man's thin body suddenly swelled up like an inflatable, and the upper body of the undead cracked inch by inch in the expansion, and a layer of black silt-like stuff continued to flow underneath.

Seeing this scene, the two knights quickly retreated as if they were facing a great enemy, and distanced themselves from this undead man who had undergone a mutation, and the spears in their hands quickly took a combat posture, and seeing this situation, those ordinary people who passed by quickly ran away to the periphery, leaving a large open space here.

"Oh, that's not good." Zhang Lin, who came to the city gate, happened to see this scene.
