The Tooth King couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The man is back!

I can actually come back after going out at night......

And...... Isn't this guy a "useless person"? Why did you become a "wandering knight" as soon as you came back?

There is a set of wandering knight armor directly on the body.

There are no fewer of these four people when they go out?

Could it be his own equipment?

If you had said it was a knight, the Tooth King would never have dared to make trouble last night.

Knights in full armor are very dominant at this stage when players are rookies fighting each other.

He quietly shifted his position and began to observe Roque and his party.

"Roque, then I'll strengthen my weapon first." A guy who looked like a down-and-out samurai waved his hand to Roque and walked to the forge table.

The Tooth King knew about him, and after Roque went out, the warrior followed.

At that time, the Tooth King was still mocking him in his heart, and another fool was about to die.

But what does that mean now?

You also farmed the forging stone overnight? What a damn one!

The tooth king gritted his back molars.

"Bell, bell!" Klein began wielding a hammer.

There is no blacksmith on the forge table, so the player can only get started by himself, but with the assistance of the system, there is no big problem.

Enhance the ...... once

The Tooth King withdrew his gaze and prepared to go back to rest for a while, and by noon he would also go to brush up on the Greck soldiers.

"Bell, bell!" The hammer strikes again!

Twice? The Tooth King suddenly turned back!

"Bell, bell!"

Three times... This is already the limit of the strengthening of the forging table of the Alley Church, and the Tooth King cannot accept it.

He wanted to get up and question these dog beta players!

Why?

Why don't you give me a forging stone?!

Do you know what it means to help each other!

The more you understand or not, the more you can -

"Dude? Do you have something? ”

Klein's voice interrupted the Tooth King's thoughts.

The opponent held a freshly strengthened knife +3 in his hand, which shone in the light of the golden tree.

The Tooth King knew that there were only three things to look up to at the Junction.

The Golden Tree, the Dark Moon, and the weapons in the hands of the people.

At this time, the dark moon disappeared during the day, and the golden tree was far away, and only the light of the blade was horizontal in front of the Tooth King.

When he looked at it, it turned out that he had unconsciously stood up and blocked the other party's way.

"Brother, it's over, it's me who didn't pay attention to the road."

After the weapons in the magic ring were strengthened, the difference in strength was obvious, and looking at the edge of the blade, the Tooth King swallowed his saliva and was angry in anger.

Lost, he returned to his corner.

Squatting there, I began to say in my heart: It's useless, in this rotten world, the better your equipment, the more you dare to fight monsters, and the more you dare to fight monsters, the easier it is to die.

Wait to die, you're done! The better the equipment, the sooner you will die.

The Tooth King closed his eyes contentedly and lay down peacefully in the corner.

……

Roque and Klein waved their hands, and the other ran off to forge their weapons in high spirits.

He came to the wandering merchant Kellie with Kirito and Asuna.

"Big regular, you're here again, what do you want to buy?" The calette sat on the ground with the fire in front of him.

He glanced at Roque, who seemed to be familiar with him.

"When Galle first met, he would recommend that each player buy a tool pouch." Kirito reminded Asuna.

Tool belts are very useful, as they allow players to craft things, food, or other items.

"And when you buy the tool belt, he'll remember you."

Asuna nodded, though she didn't quite understand why Roque was a "big regular", which was clearly beyond the realm of memorization.

"Regular, I'm also curious, where did you get so many runes before?" Kirito asked in a whisper.

Roque looked at Kirito and smiled, shaking the armor on his body, and motioning to Kirito not to forget the rune he had obtained from the invaders.

None of the runes were upgraded, and the Merchant had purchased items several times - torches, binoculars, tool belts, and Wandering Warrior Notes[2].

The Wandering Warrior's Note [2] describes how to make the 'Illumination Stone', 'Sturdy Jerky', and 'Sturdy White Jerky'.

Food and lighting are still important at the border.

"Sell me the rest of the Wandering Warrior Notes [1] and Missionary Notes [1] ......"

Roque counted the runes, and he had to set aside some runes for other things.

Galle took Rune, handed the note to Roque, and then said, "Our surviving clansmen should also be begging for a living on this land, if you meet them and are interested, buy something with them." ”

He paused, then continued, "Hmm...... This warning may not make sense to you...... But remember, never attack our people. ”

"There is a rule of the homeless people: it is good to be lonely - even if you are despised and abandoned, you don't have to think about what you want."

"But only those who hurt us must not be let go easily."

"If you have to say, this is our law."

"Does this people sound persistent and annoying?" Galle looked at Roque's eyes with a deep look.

Roque narrowed his eyes, in the background of the story, the wandering people are said to have a deleted branch, which is related to [Mad Fire].

The wandering people were accused of believing in the three fingers and believing in madness, so a large number of wandering merchants were buried alive in the sewers of the royal city of Rodel, and were driven into madness during the long imprisonment.

And as Galle said, they are a persistent people, and they will never let go easily if they hurt them.

The homeless people chose to embrace this crime, and when they had no way to justify it, they simply made a mistake and chose to believe in madness.

Mad Fire, as the name suggests, is basically crazy after contact, and if he could, Roque didn't really want to touch this thing.

And Roque's real purpose in coming to Callie has nothing to do with the mad fire, but the wolf howl of the fog forest.

In the game, the player needs to hear the wolf howl in the fog forest first, and then come to ask Galle about it, and he will give some hints about the wolf howl.

This is important and can only be triggered when the wolf howl is heard.

Roque hadn't heard the wolf howl yet, but he wanted to see if it worked.

"Galle, do you know the wolf howl of the Fog Forest?"

“……”

After a moment of silence, Galle raised his head, looked directly at Roque, and a voice came out under the mask: "...... There is a wolf howling in the fog forest......"

"Well, it's him...... By the way, it should be introduced to you. ”

His tone seemed like he was recalling something, but his eyes kept looking at Roque.

Obviously, this game is very real, and the NPCs look like living people, but for some reason, at this moment, Roque feels that Galle is more real.

"Then you hear the wolf howl, and make a secret signal directly below that voice."

[Get the special move 'Flick Fingers']

A hint appeared in front of Roque.

"Thank you."

“…… It's okay, it's nothing, I just think you guys should get along. ”

Galle lowered his head, and Roque felt as if everything had become a game again.

He looked at Kalie, then silently withdrew his eyes, turned to Kirito, and said, "Let's go, then we should go to the good Samaritan to send us to the fog forest." ”

"Huh? I thought ......" Kirito pointed to Kalie, who he thought was a good Samaritan.

To be honest, the merchant was already shocked by his relationship with the wolf howl in the fog forest, and there were other NPCs, is this a branch that a serious player can think of?

"Don't think about it, get ready, we're going to Mengliu Cave next, we may have to travel for a while."

"Mengliu Cave? Does Nimgefo have this place? ”

Roque drew a simple map on the ground with his sword and pointed out the location of the Mengliu Cave.

"We have two paths, one is through the forest, go to the front of the level, take down the map, and light up two blessings by the way: "In front of the level" and "Lake Yaquil Lake". The second way is to go east across Lake Yakir—"

"Number one!" Kirito hurriedly replied.

He looked at the two of them and explained: "The name of Lake Yakir comes from the Wyvern Yakir, we are not the opponent of the Wyvern, let's go from the level." ”

He'd rather grind with the Greck soldiers for a few days.

"It's okay, just let Klein and them practice more." Roque nodded, and then suddenly thought: "Kirito, are there any Kaidan mercenaries on horseback in the north of Aquir Lake?" ”

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

"Can their horses let us ride?"

This Kirito didn't think about grabbing horses with the enemy? During the closed test, there was a spirit horse Torret, and Kirito didn't need to be a strong monster horse.

But now......

Maybe you can give it a try!

With a horse a lot of things can be done, even if the horse may not be as good as the Torrett calf.

After Klein had forged the sword, the four of them quickly left the blessing point.

They have to move quickly through the forest to become the fastest to develop the Blessing Point.

……

Five days later.

The front of the level.

The four of Roque broke through the forest and arrived at the level, about to reach the Blessing Point.

"Roque, there are fewer admonitions around." Kirito said, looking at the admonition on the ground.

There is a warning next to the mushroom nearby: [Sure enough, it's a mushroom]

Admonitions are messages left by each player, and there are fixed sentence structures for players to choose from, so some admonitions will be a little abstract.

Roque: "Do you think the advice that appears in our field of vision was left by players in this world, or by players in other worlds?" ”

That's what the advice is, the message you leave in the same place can be seen by the rest of the world.

With crossing the forest in the past few days, Kirito can be sure that the current progress of the four of them is absolutely fast and exaggerated, and it is difficult for there to be players in this world who can catch up with their progress, of course, this is only an estimate.

He and Roque are already masters, and Klein has a strong plus three knife in his hand, plus Klein's talent is also very good, and he has quickly become proficient and strong in the past few days.

As for Asuna, it can only be said that even if she doesn't have her excellent talent, the law of the Elden Ring is the law of the master, a noble profession.

What restricts her is the lack of Grail Restoration Mana.

"It should have been left by players in other worlds in the same place, and then the message was seen by us." Kirito was in a heavy mood, and he felt that this matter had been settled.

"Players in other worlds may not be aware of the fact that there are multiple worlds." Roque reassured.

"Let's go, let's open the blessing point first."

The four Roque quietly bypassed the soldiers at the front of the level.

Came to the blessing point in the front of the level, and here is the blessing of meeting Melina's entrusting spirit horse.

Kiriren and Roque were a little nervous, they both knew that there had once been a young girl here, guiding the faded ones forward, the two looked at each other and stepped forward silently, their fingers lightly touched the light of blessing, and at this moment the gold suddenly appeared-

[Even if the guidance has long been broken, please become the king of Elden.] 】
