There is an empty cavern under Tesla City, and the only way to get underground is through the underground space of the Portal, along the underground construction site where the Portal was built.

The extinguished energy tower has been devoid of life, the doors to the control room have been opened, and the corpses of the city have been disposed of by the outpost and buried in a nearby snow pit.

The tyrant used a snow pit to bury the corpse, and if it weren't for the various diseases brought back by the decomposing corpse, Li Jianghao thought that Tesla might not even have lit the snow pit.

There was no warmth inside the energy tower in front of him, and the pipes that had been gushing steam were dead silent. Open the passage into the energy tower along the control room, walk on the maintenance stand, and soon reach the bottom of the furnace core.

To enter the underground, the personal authority of the consul is required. A string of maintenance mechanical passwords, which are also included in Tesla's efforts to survive.

Li Jianghao moved and pulled those switches in order, and then manually held the switch of the bottom door and pulled it open. When the tower has no energy supply, even if the restriction is lifted, it will take manpower to pull it open.

A staircase slowly descends, and to the surprise of it, the city's stored electricity is still working, and the passage to the underground is lit up every short distance.

In the silent space, only the sound of his own footsteps sounded, and Li Jianghao didn't know how many turns he made all the way down, only to see a cave not far away that was not dug with artificial traces.

The entrance to the cave was hastily blocked by a pile of debris, and Li Jianghao waved his holy sword to open up a path and walked in.

It wasn't until after walking about two kilometers that the road ahead suddenly opened up, bypassing the last obstacle and revealing a wide underground space.

The flat soil floor is stony and hard, and there is no damp and gloomy smell underground, but it is very dry.

All the moisture seemed to be evaporated, and Li Jianghao could feel his throat dry and his lips began to chapp.

The cave seemed to be large enough to accommodate an ancient dragon species to rest, and the ancient dragon named Bing Ma didn't know why he came to this world, and then left directly after a short stay.

Fortunately, the system has already made a guarantee, and the Scourge Incarnate will not continue to appear. Li Jianghao is not worried about a thrilling monster hunter (verb) man battle here.

As Tesla said, that scale was the only proof that the Ice Dragon had remained in this world. Even all the ice, snow and even liquids caused by his activities disappeared with the departure of the Ice Dragon. This is also the reason why this underground environment is so dry.

Continuing to move towards the depths of the cave, Li Jianghao found nothing, until he was about to leave, but the dark ring in his body began to heat up, or rather, the human soul wrapped in the dark ring was heating up.

The heat frantically pounded the restraints of the Dark Ring, wanting to spread all over the body, and even swelling out of the original body, to turn into a monster who didn't know what it looked like.

Li Jianghao began to feel dizzy, and fell to his knees with the holy sword, tearing at his skin with one hand.

"It's nameless, unpaid ashes..."

The lamenting female voice fluttered by, and the red light reappeared on Li Jianghao's body, like a flickering spark when coal burns, once the limit is broken, everything will be burned.

"That's why the ashes crave the warmth of the flames."

Reason was completely suppressed in his soul, and Li Jianghao could only watch his body stand up blindly, like a living corpse.

However, after the soul was stripped of the body, it would not suffer from the painful feeling, and Li Jianghao was able to calm down.

"System, what's going on!"

"Here are the ashes left behind by the soul of the Salary King, who has the blood of the Sun King Gwen, who can suppress your dark ring and force the dwarves to fulfill their ancient vows and become immortal when the first fire is about to be extinguished, and embark on a mission to find the king's soul to rekindle the first fire."

"But isn't Lao Tzu already immortal!" Li Jianghao scolded in his heart, "Or is it that the reward you gave the Dark Ring is rubbish, this is not the world of Dark Souls, and it can be suppressed by the traces left by the Salary King." ”

The system was silent for a while before saying:

"Your soul is not the owner of this body, to be precise, Richard Noz became an immortal, and then because he did not share the dark soul of the dwarf king, the inner humanity was annihilated and directly turned into a living corpse. Once the people of this world are contaminated with the curse of the Dark Ring, they will not have a period of confusion after losing the will to survive, and it is also for this reason that they will directly become living corpses. ”

Li Jianghao sighed, "looking" at his gradually familiar body shaking unconsciously like a nerd, and he felt crazy.

"Then hurry up and give me a solution, here are the traces left in the Salary King, maybe the dark ring that appeared in this world has something to do with this Salary King. He is of the blood of the Protoss, a descendant of King Gwen. That guy is a Protoss, alas. ”

When the system heard the Protoss, Li Jianghao seemed to feel a subtle emotional change:

"Savior, there are no gods in this world. Even if it exists, it is a false god that occupies power, and it will eventually be destroyed, and the era of human autonomy will continue. ”

"Alright, alright, I haven't completed the newbie mission yet, and I'm officially joining you saviors. Since you don't have God in your eyes, think of a way to get me back into this body. ”

Li Jianghao's soul tried to run towards the living corpse, but the dark mark locked the living corpse's heart and prevented him from regaining control of the body.

"I will free your soul, you need to destroy the traces of the Salary King that remain here. Once you have eliminated those traces in your soul state, the oppression will be lifted, and you will be able to return to this body. ”

The system explained lightly that Li Jianghao's soul's vision began to widen, and he was able to observe the world from the perspective of his soul.

There seemed to be traces of flames surging in the surrounding environment, all concentrated in the center of the entire underground cavern.

As Li Jianghao observed more and more carefully, the things composed of those central traces became clearer and clearer.

Finally, under Li Jianghao's gaze, a tall figure slowly stood up.

The great sword in his hand condensed and formed, and it was called Sinkarma.

"Prince of Lothric, Lorian."

The system slowly pronounced out the name, and Li Jianghao silently added a note: the knee is intact version.

"Mortals, heed the call of the flames and go to Lothric, the home of the Salary King, and fulfill your mission."

Lorian looked down at the dwarf human soul in front of him, and there was no emotion on his grim countenance.
