4. Round table gathering point
Before the ashes could react, there was no monster in front of him. Without waiting for Ash to ask, Roger gasped and muttered in a huff.
"I didn't expect it to be so dangerous this time, although I have heard of the existence of corrosive dryads, it is the first time I have encountered it." "Fortunately, I memorized a teleportation spell, otherwise I would definitely have casualties if I faced it head-on."
"Fortunately, although this monster looks menacing, its huge body must be bulky, and it is not too difficult to deal with."
"It's just that the small space underground, flickering and moving, will inevitably be affected, and if you kill him desperately, you will inevitably hang a lottery." Ash said as he calmed Roger's emotions.
Roger looked a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Have you encountered a corrosive dryad before?" Ash shook his head, "No, it's just that I've killed this type of monster." "And judging by observation, he is also a weak guy."
Ash secretly thought, the human pus is much more difficult than this monster, and the appearance of the tree spirit also made a lot of noise in advance, and the concealment of the human pus, there is no comparison, and the biggest threat of human pus is corruption, a little contaminated, without the miracle of sunlight treatment, it is basically declared dead.
However, the huge face left by the so-called eldest prince made Ash vigilant, and the rich death curse could not be confronted head-on, and I don't know if there is a spell similar to the miracle of the sun on this continent?
Thinking of this, Ash asked Roger directly, who had already settled down.
"Roger, you're a mage, have you ever heard of the Sunshine Miracle?"
"Sunshine Miracle?" "Is that something, a miracle?" Hearing Roger's answer, Ash explained in detail.
"Sunshine Miracle, is a spell similar to a spell, it can also be called a sunshine spell, it is mainly used for healing, it is full of divine aura, and it can also be used as a means of attack, especially for the undead, it will cause huge damage!"
Roger thought for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Is it possible that this spell you are talking about is a faith prayer that I understand?" β
"Faith and prayer?" Ash scratched his head, another term he hadn't heard of.
"Yes, faith prayer, similar to spells, can mainly do things that spells can't, including healing, and there is also a divine aura!"
Just as Roger and Ash were about to continue their discussion, a contemptuous mockery reached their ears.
"Let's take a look, isn't this Archmage Roger, he just used the teleportation technique, and his hat is crooked, is this coming back from running for his life?"
"Tsk, relying on how many spells you can break, you act recklessly, is the golden law also something you can question?"
"I advise you to hide obediently in the round table hall, too much contact with the dead, sooner or later there will be no bones left, and the soul will not be able to return to the Golden Tree!"
"There are also newcomers over there, hurry up and stay away from Roger, don't do your best, otherwise you will only end up like Rogil!"
This outrageous man, dressed in a suit of gold and silver armor, was very powerful, and his face was covered by a full metal helmet, and he could not see his expression. Roger's face changed slightly, pretending not to hear, and directly pulled the ashes to the corner of the balcony on the second floor. After observing it, the man didn't follow, Roger smiled bitterly, and laughed at himself: "Do you feel that I am useless, and I dare not refute it when I am slapped in the face on the spot." β
Without waiting for Ash to make a statement, Roger continued: "Actually, he doesn't have a bad heart, oh, he's D, we all call him D." β
"D is a very righteous person, just too pedantic, and we used to be very good friends."
Speaking of this, Roger's expression was a little lonely. "In the beginning, we went on adventures together, knowing that a mage and a warrior are very good partners." "We went through a lot, we talked about everything, even about his brother, he told me."
"Until, we met [the ship]."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, I forgot you're a foreigner, and you don't know the name of this place."
"[The ship] is the summoner of the dead."
"I didn't tell you before, I was investigating something about [Conspiracy Night], the eldest prince Godwin was killed, becoming the first to die." "But, he's not the only one who died!"
"After the eldest prince turned into a monster, he was sealed in Stoneville City at first, but as a result, his power leaked, and he had to move to the depths of the roots of the Golden Tree and use the Golden Law of the Golden Tree to suppress it."
"However, the power of death is too strong, and the seal is not without loopholes, and some of the escaping power is transmitted to the surface along the roots of the tree, forming the [Dead Root]."
"These, [dead roots] sprout on the surface, and as a result, more dead people are born."
"These things are intolerable to D, who is a devout believer in the Golden Law."
"It is comparable to a fanatic, who only has the golden law in his eyes and acts strictly according to the golden law."
"And the dead are not tolerated by the Golden Law. As a result, D began to hunt down the Nativity and eliminate the Dead Roots. β
"Of course, there is no shortage of traitors and evildoers among these dead people, and with the power of death, cholera is everywhere."
"But there are also many innocent people who have unexpectedly become dead and can only struggle between life and death."
"In the face of these people, D still has no mercy in his hands, and even became the executioner of the Golden Law to eliminate the dead."
"I think that the bell must be tied to the bell, and by killing, it is impossible to prevent the appearance of the dead, and the only way to investigate the truth of the [Conspiracy Night] and then completely eliminate the appearance of [Dead Root] is the right way."
Roger's words made Ash understand that the reason why the former friends parted ways was mainly because of disagreements. Roger is more compassionate, while D, just blindly reverence the Golden Law, regardless of the cause or right or wrong.
"So, as soon as I go back to the round table and be seen by D, he will always taunt me a few words, get used to it, and don't bother to argue." "I understand D's thoughts, which is to keep me away from the dead and not to be corrupted by death." After Roger finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject.
"By the way, I haven't introduced you to this place yet!"
"This is the legendary Round Table Room, also known as the Faded Gathering Place, and this place does not exist anywhere in reality."
"Only the Fading One can enter, so some people call it the Round Table Gathering Point or the Fading Alliance."
"Of course, the so-called alliance was only a long time ago, and now the faders are basically fighting on their own, and everyone wants to be the king of Elden."
"A lot of faders think of this as [home] because it's forbidden to hurt each other, it's arguably the safest place and everyone can sleep well."
Ash secretly complained, the ghost just wanted to be the king of Elden, and it could be seen from the dead that there was a problem with the Golden Law, and the goddess's life style was also very strange, who knew what kind of danger it would be to get involved. However, this round table gathering point is indeed a good place for salted fish, which cannot hurt each other, does not exist in reality, what a good paradise.
Just when the ashes have already thought about it, find a room at the round table gathering point, live comfortably, and live a better life with salted fish lying flat every day. Roger grabbed his arm and walked down the hall. Ash was caught by D's taunt just now, and didn't look closely, but this time when he returned to the hall, he also noticed the other faders.
One of them, dressed in a yellow robe and wearing a wooden shackle around his neck, was very peculiar. At the same time, he is also the target that Roger is pulling the ashes to. When he came to this person, Roger first gave a mage salute, and then gave a return salute to the other side.
Roger pointed to the ashes and said, "This is the newcomer I met, a very strong fader, but he should be a foreigner, and he is not very familiar with this place. "He wanted information about faith and prayer, so I pulled him over, and you're an expert in that."
"Hello, newcomer, my name is Colin, and I am a priest, and I do have some knowledge in faith and prayer."
"If there's anything you want to know, just ask me."
Looking at the kind priest in front of him, Ash explained the effect of the spell again. However, this time it did not disappoint him, Colin said: "Although faith prayer and mantra are a little different, they are basically similar. He even suggested that as long as Ash has this talent, he can try to learn faith and prayer, and feel it himself, and he will have a more intuitive understanding.
After listening to Colin's words, Ash secretly rejoiced, this is the time to meet [good brother] again. Immediately agreed with Colin's suggestion and asked Colin to test whether he was talented.
Colin stretched out his hands, and a soft yellow light immediately enveloped the ashes. Ash felt at this time that the power of the embers, which had been dormant for a long time, was showing signs of revival. Just as the ashes were still carefully feeling whether the embers in his body had been revived, Colin in front of him let out an exclamation.
"Oh, the Golden Tree is on it, what a warm and pure power, have you regained the blessing of the Golden Tree?"
Colin's question dispelled Ash's musings.
"Blessing? ,No,The power you are talking about,It should be my original strength,Since I snuffed out the first fire,,This power has fallen silent,I didn't expect that now there are signs of recoveryγ β
After listening to Ash's explanation, Colin was a little dazed.
"What is the first fire? , but the power in your body is a bit like fire, but it doesn't burst, and it feels like you can control it well. β
"Well, how do you explain it?" Ash scratched his head.
"First Fire", "It's equivalent to, the Golden Tree!" β
As soon as this sentence came out, even Roger on the side was stunned.
"The god is equivalent to the golden tree, the golden tree belongs to Elden's supreme existence, and the goddess Marika can only live under the golden tree." "This level of existence, is it something that you say will be extinguished?"
Fortunately, it seems that neither Roger nor Colin thought that Ash was joking, and that it was a foreigner's joke.
Everyone had a tacit understanding, looked at each other and smiled, and started the next topic.
Ash spoke first, "So Mr. Colin, do I have this talent?" β
"Judging from the test just now, if you don't have talent, then the Golden Mask Teacher can only be an apprentice."
"Depending on your qualifications, you can learn to pray more deeply in faith, but you have to take it step by step. My beginner prayer here, you can pick it first and find a suitable study. β
Looking at the prayer book of faith that Colin took out, the ashes opened directly, and what caught his eye was [Emergency Recovery], which was annotated below, "Fight to the end for the mission, even if you are injured, you will not fall."
