Thanks to the saints, there is also a wrong reward.

Getting the dragon is the same as getting the lighter for Amber.

But the plot doesn't end there.

Wu Chen rushed to the ground and found that the entire castle had been captured by the Terrans. The moment he appeared, the cheers resounded through the land of fire. The old king, surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, stepped out of the battle formation.

"Master Traveler, the goddess who trampled on the dragon just now is ......"

"Madame Butterfly." could have made up a more stylish identity, but Wu Chen told the truth by mistake.

"Madame Butterfly......" The old king silently recited the syllables when Wu Chen spoke, silently remembering them. When he opened his eyes, Wu Chen clearly saw the light.

"Warriors, we've won—"

"Hooray!"

By the time Wu Chen and Sailor Moon accompanied the old king back to the garrison, the warriors had begun to take over the city defenses, treat the wounded, clean up the remnants of the enemy, and loot the dragon's wealth.

None of this has anything to do with Wu Chen.

"Your Majesty, is there only blood and fire in the Lennox Continent?" Wu Chen raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and found that all he could see was flowing magma and black-red mountains.

"And endless ashes."

Wu Chen's heart moved: "The half-orcs don't flow like blood, is it also pitch-black ashes?" "He felt it when he was fighting.

"That's right." The old king nodded, "Life is born from ashes. Legend has it that in ancient times, the world was gray, with only dense fog, limestone, giant trees and immortal ancient dragons. And then there was fire in the world, and the appearance of fire made a qiē differentiated. Around the fire, a 'king' was born, and the king used his power to defeat the ancient dragon, ushering in the age of fire. ”

"Wait!" Wu Chen quickly digested the old king's words, and said in a deep voice of the narrator: "After the appearance of fire, the world was divided into light and darkness, and the living corpse was born from the darkness, attracted by the fire, and found the king's soul near the fire. Thus evolving into flesh-and-blood giants and dwarves (i.e., humans in our concept). What you are doing now is to kill the kings (giants) to obtain the king's soul, to create a fifth king, and to maintain the age of fire. Because if this is not done, the fire will be extinguished, and the consequences will lead the human (dwarf) to degenerate into a living corpse! ”

The old king's face was full of surprise: "How did Master Traveling know about it?" ”

"I'll go!" How can tech nerds not know!

This is clearly the world view of the super difficult dark position masterpiece - "Dark Souls"!

Who the hell grafted the worldview of Dark Souls into the fantasies of beautiful girls!

"You hunt dragons to collect souls." According to Wu Chen's understanding of the plot of Dark Souls, the value of 'flames' in this world is constant. A large number of soul fires were gathered on powerful ancient creatures, such as dragons. Only by killing them can these souls be evenly distributed among other living beings, including humans, of course.

As the human population continues to expand, so does the need for soul fire. When there is a deficit in the soul fire, the souls of powerful creatures must be ignited as firewood to fill them, otherwise humans will degenerate and return to their ancestors into living corpses. When the alien race is killed, the human powerhouses who have gathered a large number of soul fires will naturally become the target of hunting. Therefore, the bosses in Dark Souls are more abusive than the other. In a sense, almost all of them are former heroes, kings, and even the masters of the world, and they have all been born by Zeng Ze, benefiting future generations and being admired by all people. However, in order to perpetuate human civilization, the protagonist must start the next fire age and become enemies of it. So, in fact, there is only one real villain in this game!

"That's right, Your Excellency." The old king's face showed a hint of sadness, "In fact, the warriors who died at the hands of the dragon and his fire slaves are also making room for the next generation. ”

"Who is guarding the Primordial Fire?"

"Me." The old king spoke calmly.

Wu Chen looked up and down, he didn't look like a perverted powerhouse like Ge Wen, the king of Wuxing.

"Use your royal soul as firewood to continue this fire?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

At the end of the day, it's still resources.

Some kind of scarce resources necessary to continue life are insufficient, and there are too many monks to make up for the shortfall.

Could it be that the plot of Dark Souls was grafted here because of a lack of resources?

Wu Chen seemed to have caught something.

"Your Majesty, how many powerhouses are left in the world?"

"The most powerful evil dragon Zhibao has been wiped out by Your Excellency, and looking at the entire continent, only the four Great Ash Extinguishers remain."

"The Ash Extinguisher?" A term that Wu Chen had never heard of. Isn't it the new Big Four?

"They were born from the ashes of chaos, the thick fog burned by the Primordial Fire, the remnants of limestone, giant trees, and ancient dragons. They are dying, but they possess unparalleled power. Just as the outward extinguished coal stone contains a fiery red heart of coal: reckless scratching will burn your hands; And as long as there is a breath of fresh wind, it will be resurrected. The old king said in a deep voice.

Damn, this boss setting is much taller than Dark Souls 2!

"In other words, as long as you get rid of the four Ash Extinguishers, you can get enough soul fire?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. Human beings are born in an eternal cycle of old age, sickness and death, and there will always be a point of equilibrium at some point. All we have to do now is to continue civilization until that time. ”

"The birth rate is equal to the death rate, and the population is no longer increasing." Wu Chen understood.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Wu Chen, who was self-proclaimed as a traveling mage, laughed at himself: "I think, I have found the meaning of saving zài." ”

The old king stood up abruptly and bowed solemnly.

The knights who had gathered around him fell to his knees after the old king.

No one spoke, not even able to hear breathing, but a kneeling full of inexplicable power was enough to shock people's hearts. Even Wu Chen lost his mind for a moment.

The fantasy that should have ended when the female dragon was killed was greatly delayed due to Wu Chen's deep involvement. Although Sailor Moon insisted on going together, Wu Chen politely refused them for the sake of safety. He also told them to keep the two dragon crystals properly, because they were the only key to return to the second-layer world.

Lennox was born from the ashes of Chaos, the last remnants of the four, hidden in four of the most dangerous places on the continent: the clouds of the lead curtain, the furnace of dust, the molten chamber of fire, and the ocean of mist.

"Master, why do you want to help these human beings who don't exist zài." On the way to the Rockfire Meltdown, Ophelia couldn't help but ask.

"Follow the original plot, we will never find the flaws of the enemy. It has been proven that Butterfly Dance and we entered the same copy at different times. In terms of timeline alone, she arrived earlier than we did. That's what I can't figure out the most. It stands to reason that the same story world in the shelter has one and only one timeline. Under normal circumstances, if Butterfly Dance completes the dragon slaying mission in Act 3, it means that the mission is completely over. No matter who comes in later, it's impossible to take on the same task. Because that's history. But it turns out that not only us, but even Butterfly Dance and many people in front of it, are repeating the third act, staging the feat of slaying the dragon, how did this happen? ”
