Xia Yu stood silently in the sky, closing his eyes and perceiving the endless stream of souls that had submerged into his body.

These souls include the knights of Lothric, the priests of Lothric, the scholars of the Great Library, and of course, the souls of the living corpses.

The blow he had just charged wiped out all of Lothric and its surroundings from the map, and thus brought him countless souls.

"It's coming!"

Xia Yu, who closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, and then took out a cloud of gold and gray fiery soul from his body.

This is the soul of the twin princes, the two princes who refused to become the salary kings fled from everything, silently waiting for the end of the fire in the royal city.

Because of the curse, the souls of the two princes merged and it was difficult to separate.

Looking at this group of souls that did not distinguish between each other, Xia Yu sighed faintly, if it wasn't for the sake of getting the salary king's firewood, he actually didn't want to kill the two princes.

Lothric is a gathering place for generations of salaried lords, as well as a central presence that supports the spread of fire.

The eldest prince, Lorian, was trained as a knight in the hope of becoming the next king, while the second prince, Lothric, was trained as a salary king, waiting for the next first flame to be extinguished.

However, the second prince of Lothric, who is a candidate for the salary king, spread the fire from the bottom of his heart.

Because of the curse of spreading fire, Lothric has been particularly weak since birth, so he has to wear a prayer hood all the time.

In order to make his brother less painful, Lorian voluntarily shared the curse, which also caused Lorian to lose his strength and lose his voice and legs.

Therefore, the two brothers are weak and crippled, and because of the curse, they can't choose to end themselves, so they can only wait for the end of the first fire.

This is the tragic life of the twin prince, as a royal family, but he can't even choose his own fate.

Retracting his thoughts, Xia Yu looked at the twin prince soul in his hand, sighed lightly and put it into his body.

"That's it, I'll keep your souls, and when you get to the new world, as compensation, I will give you a new life."

Xia Yu stayed in place for a long time, and waited until no soul entered his body before he took out a return bone piece.

As the bone fragments shattered, bits of sparks ignited on the surface of Xia Yu's body, and then he turned into a puff of fly ash and disappeared here.

Fire Sacrifice Ground.

It seemed that next to the big bonfire, which seemed to be unchanged for eternity, it suddenly flickered, and then a figure slowly condensed and appeared.

Seeing this, the fireproof woman who was sitting on the side hurriedly got up and stepped forward, and then bent down and saluted.

"Welcome back, Lord Xia Yu."

Xia Yu nodded silently, didn't say anything, seeing that Xia Yu didn't seem to be in a good mood, the fire girl pursed her lips, and seemed to have guessed something.

"Is it the last payroll king who has already brought it back? Lord Xia Yu. ”

Xia Yu didn't speak, but just told the answer with action.

Above the fire sacrifice ground, there are five huge thrones carved from red stone, which is the only place where Xia Yu has not been transformed, because it is the throne of the Salary King, and it is also the incinerator of the Salary King.

Above that throne, there were only two empty seats, and the remaining three thrones were occupied by sparkling heads.

Those heads are the salaries of the king.

They are the firewood of the Immortal Squad, the firewood of the Shadow Sage, and the firewood of the Giant King, and now, the waiting throne will usher in the last firewood.

The firewood of the two princes!

Xia Yu silently walked to the top throne and glanced at the back of the throne, which was carved with a line of words.

End of Bloodline - The Holy King of Lothric.

This throne is the largest of all thrones, and at the same time the highest, representing the next fire-spreading king, but the two princes are reluctant to pass the fire, so the throne has not yet had its own master.

After a moment of emotion, Xia Yu finally took out the last firewood, the head of Prince Loslick.

This is the mission of being an ash, so he will not be disgusted to refuse, he will inherit the flames of these paymasters, and then swing his sword against the ancient gods who inherited the initial fire.

He will not go to the path of spreading fire, he will open up a new path by himself.

With Prince Lothric's return to the throne, only the last of the five thrones remains, and his journey is nearing its end.

However, Xia Yu was a little unbearable, and the salary king of the last throne never left.

"Ah, if you did, I knew you could, after all, you're the king-hunter I'm optimistic about."

The old man's voice suddenly sounded on the side, and Rudaosi, who was in a wheelchair, came to Xia Yu's side, looking at the salary king Chai Xin above the throne, he was a little emotional.

"It seems that you have found all the kings, and there are five kings on the five thrones...... In other words, am I the last to be at the bottom? ”

"The title of 'The Last King' is a prize for me as a dwarf."

Rudos said very open-mindedly, without the unwillingness to face death at all.

Seeing that Xia Yu was unmoved, Ludaos urged again: "Go, go to that fireproof girl, she is waiting for you, your mission is about to end, what is there to hesitate." ”

“……”

"What? Did you hesitate at this last moment? ”

"Yes, after all, you are also the salary king I am most familiar with." This time, Xia Yu did not respond silently, he nodded and sat down next to Ludaos, his tone was a little sad.

"Although I know other salary kings and know their stories, for me, it is you, the salary king I don't know about the past, who are my real acquaintances."

He admires the Fran Immortals, spits on the Shadow Sage, and respects the Giant King Yum and apologizes to the Twin Princes.

Because he knows the stories of these Salary Kings, and he has learned about the past and choices of these Salary Kings from the game.

However, Rudos the Vault Dweller, one of the five pay-kings, claims to be Rudos of Courland, the only pay-king who voluntarily passes the fire.

Until the end, Rudolph remains the most mysterious character, and his true identity, origins, and purpose are all a mystery.

Compared to those salary kings who had just met and had to fight, Rudos not only stayed here, but also taught him the smelting of the soul.

Therefore, Xia Yu is naturally a little sad, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, even if he doesn't know Rudaos at all, but after all, they have lived together for so long.

Looking at Xia Yu's sad look, Ludaosi shook his head and sighed: "Oh, you kid, I became the salary king according to my own wishes, and I am deeply proud of it." ”

"Well, since you're still hesitant, why don't I, the lowly salaried king, tell you a story at the end."

Rudaos sighed, his expression was a little nostalgic: "My hometown is Courland, before becoming the Salary King, I was a person who studied refining, the so-called refining, is refining the soul, this technology can solidify the characteristics of the soul and get the corresponding power." ”

"Hehe, you should have guessed it, refining is actually the predecessor of soul smelting, but in Courland, this technology is a taboo." (End of chapter)
