11. Goodbye White Mask
Ash and Roger returned with a full load, and Roger didn't bother to greet Colin, and hurriedly ran back to the bedroom to study the [Black Knife Brand]. Ash paused for a moment to exchange views with Colin.
"Looks like this time is going well."
"It's a good adventure, but the trap is too underworld, and Roger almost broke in it."
"It's just that you don't use faith prayer, and by the way, you don't have offensive faith prayer here."
"Let me look for it, hey, there really is a copy, but it is a fire prayer, this power is very dangerous, I hope you don't be reckless when you practice."
Is there a fire type skill, luck is really good, Ash is very happy. For flames, who else is more professional than him, the hotbed of chaos has been contacted. Having written about Colin, holding the Flame Prayer Notes, Ash prepares to go to Fia to see Rodrica.
As a result, when they came to Fiya's room, Rodrica was not there, and Ash asked.
"Lady Fia, Roger said he handed over Rodrica to you, what about her."
Fiya sent the strange fader away and turned to answer.
"That lovely girl is very popular, and even the unsmiling Mr. Blacksmith is happy to communicate with her."
"Now, it should be at the blacksmith, they seem to have become very good friends."
The blacksmith at the gathering point of the round table, Ash is aware of it, has passed by many times, but has not communicated. For the blacksmith was a subman, and he had chains around his feet. Ash is not judged by appearance, the main thing is that he does not understand the situation and does not dare to talk to him without permission, so as not to cause trouble.
Now that Rodrica is at the blacksmith, Ash must go and say hello.
Walking out of Fiya's room, I turned a corner to the staircase, and the sound of tinkling iron reached my ears.
Sure enough, Rodrica stood in front of the blacksmith, and the two were talking and laughing, very harmonious.
When Ash approached, Rodrica also saw Ash and hurriedly ran over.
"Mr. Ash, you're back, did the mission go well, did you get hurt?"
In Rodrika's concerned greeting, Ash spun in a circle, indicating that he was intact.
"It's great that Mr. Ash is back safely."
After Rodrica finished speaking, she pulled the ashes to the blacksmith and began to introduce.
Mr. Blacksmith, this is the Mr. Ash I mentioned earlier, and he is also my savior.
The blacksmith stopped his hammer and nodded his head at the ashes in recognition.
Ash also tucked his chin in response.
Then, before the ashes could speak, Rodrica began to chirp again.
"Mr. Ash, Mr. Blacksmith said I have a talent for tuning and can be a good tuner."
"I'm going to learn from Mr. Blacksmith so I can help Mr. Ash."
"Oh, Soul Tuner?" In the face of unfamiliar terms, Ash never spoke too much, and he didn't know how to pretend to understand.
At this time, the blacksmith also spoke.
"Well, this kid does have the talent to become a Soul Mixer."
"It's just that, as an ugly subhuman and a slave, I'm afraid of having a bad influence on this child."
It turned out to be this kind of worry, and it seems that he is also a good-hearted guy, according to the experience of his hometown, the uglier the face, the more gentle the heart. Thinking of this, Ash also showed his attitude.
"Rodrica has no relatives anymore, and her companions have been hunted and become chrysalis with their hands and feet cut off."
"Since we can talk to Mr. Blacksmith, as long as Rodrica herself is willing, then I will ask Mr. Blacksmith to take care of her."
After Ash finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
Seeing the faded man in front of him, the blacksmith clearly felt a difference. In fact, when Ash first arrived at the gathering point of the round table, the blacksmith had already noticed Ash.
Wary of strangers, but polite and not lacking in strength.
Now that Rodrica has been rescued, you can see the kindness of Ash.
For such people, blacksmiths are happy to make friends. So, the blacksmith put down his hammer and performed an unknown ritual on the ashes. "Rest assured, I will definitely pass on the knowledge of Rodrica to the mind without reservation."
At this time, Rodrica suddenly spoke: "Why is the atmosphere so serious, it's weird." ”
Hearing Rodrika's complaint, Ash and the blacksmith looked at each other and laughed.
Telling Rodrica to learn from the blacksmith, Ash went to Roger's bedroom.
Seeing that Roger was immersed in research, he couldn't be disturbed, so he could only go to the hall to take a stroll and replenish the arrows consumed in the cemetery by the way.
As soon as Ash approached the hall and was about to turn towards the old woman's shop, a figure greeted him.
"You've come back, have you seen my maid?"
It turned out to be the man who asked them to pay attention to the news of the missing maid when Ash was leaving, Diaros.
"I'm sorry, but this time we passed through Storm Hills from the west of Stoneville City, and finally arrived south of Kalia's study."
"Along the way, I haven't encountered any clues about your maid's disappearance, if you are ready to continue the search, you can change directions."
Ash's words made Diaros a little disappointed, but as a nobleman, the necessary etiquette must be maintained.
Diaros bowed to the ashes in thanks, then used teleportation, apparently preparing to continue his search for the maid.
After this episode, Ash came to the old woman's shop, and after replenishing the arrows, he was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a small stone dagger on the old woman's stall. This aroused Ash's curiosity, and he asked.
The old woman told Ash that there were many ruins in the Elden Continent, and these ruins could only be opened with this [Stone Sword Key]. At the same time, these ruins are also easy to identify, and there is a small demon statue at the entrance that is the entrance. Ash suddenly remembered that after he woke up, there happened to be a little demon statue in the dilapidated church, was there a ruin?
So, Ash bought this [Stone Sword Key], anyway, Roger didn't know when he would be able to research the results, and he could take advantage of this time to explore the ruins.
There was nothing to prepare, but since there was no Roger with him, torches became a necessity. The spell of the Flame Prayer has also been learned, so this time you can test the power. Ash didn't leave to alarm anyone, just greeted Fiya and asked her to tell Roger.
Because, Ash has only been to Stonewell City, Storm Hills and the Black Knife Graveyard south of Kalia's Study. Only these few points can be selected for teleportation, and the nearest Stoneville City is the best choice.
Coming to the checkpoint outpost of Stonewell City, the entire camp was still the same, and the ashes quietly advanced towards their own awakening church. When he came to the high ground of the dilapidated church, Ash saw a familiar figure, the White Mask. White Mask also spotted Ash, still in the same familiar appearance, and stepped forward to greet Ash.
"What a coincidence, the Fader who lost the guidance of the witch, how did you come back?"
Ash didn't want to talk to him, but he wondered what White Mask was for
So, he lied and said, "Stonewell City is too dangerous, and I am not ready." ”
When Bai Mask heard this, his eyes seemed to light up, and he hurriedly said, "I have a way to become stronger here, do you want to give it a try." ”
"What kind of way to get stronger?"
"I can't tell you just yet, it's a deal, and if you want to gain power, you have to complete the mission."
"I have a trial mission here, and if you can complete it, then I will grant you the power to become stronger."
With that, White Mask handed Ash an envelope and left.
Looking at the back of the white mask, Ash chuckled, that's it? Much worse than the abyss lobbyist.
I opened the envelope, and there was only one line of words, and I came to the Rose Chapel alive to find me.
It seems that this is the so-called trial, let's talk about it when we have time, and now let's explore the ruins first.
Leaving the bewitchment of the white mask behind, Ash walked into the church, and down the steps, there was indeed a statue of a little devil.
The statue is slightly rough, and the little devil has a small hole in his head, just enough to put the stone sword key in.
Checking his weaponry, Ash inserted the stone sword key into it.
A roar followed, and the wall on the right slowly descended, revealing a passage that continued underground.
Ash took out his torch and raised it above his head, and began to walk slowly.
It was smooth to reach the bottom of the steps, but a green water blocked the path of the ashes.
As soon as he saw this color, Ash immediately judged that it was definitely a poisonous swamp and could not be forced to break through.
First, I looked up at the ceiling and walls, just in case there were monsters hiding here in advance.
After looking around, it was safe.
Ash lightly stepped out of one foot, immediately felt surrounded by poisonous gas, and immediately blessed himself with his right hand a [emergency recovery], this is the first time to use faith and prayer to practice, the effect is not bad, and the poisonous gas is immediately expelled.
After experiments, [Emergency Recovery] can expel poison gas, so the ashes are relieved. Directly continued the output of [Emergency Recovery], and then waded through this poisonous bog.
Then there was another downhill, and without saying a word, Ash threw a Fire Prayer skill in front of him.
With the large fireball in a parabola, Ash also sees the entire details of the downhill as well. There were some skeleton soldiers lurking on both sides of the passage, and they were all drawn out because of the crackling sound of the Fire Prayer skill. began to slowly approach the ashes, and the ashes also held their shields, waiting for the battle. The unexpected happened again, and a huge machine car slammed up from the bottom of the slope. The skeleton on the route was directly crushed, and the machine car rushed to the ashes, and began to turn back, and it turned out that its track happened to be here.
It's this kind of yin design again, is it possible that the underground ruins are all rolled up like this, one is more than the other.
Fortunately, the skeleton was drawn out in advance, and the skeleton triggered the machine car.
Otherwise, even if it is ashes, it will only end up being knocked away, although it will not be fatal, but it is disgusting enough.
