Chapter 934 916. Spiral Sword Smelting Furnace

?“Ah, child. Did you hear everything just now?”

Lann stroked the rough surface of the Throne of Desire.

??And on the throne, Ludos was not even as high as Lan En's chest.

?The salary king, who had just adapted from the pain, put his elbows on his body as if nothing had happened, and formed a bridge with his two hands to support his chin.

?He turned to Lan En and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, but when I am about to die, I have become weak. Did I lose my mind just now? But don't worry, I will definitely do what I have to do, even if it is extremely painful."

“This is the so-called ‘mission’, right? I am King Xin, and this is my throne.”

"There are five salary kings on the five thrones - all for spreading the fire. Now the fire is finally extinguished: for passing on the fleeting fire, for continuing the world again, for reviving the oldest spreading fire. Therefore, I became the salary king."

"Now, I, the dwarf, am bathing in the glory of being a king. Hehehehe"

“This is the duty of the fire girl.” The fire girl clasped her hands in front of her belly and bowed slightly to Lan En. "I will be responsible for ringing the second bell and awakening the ashes from ancient times to the present."

?Lan En walked out of the gate of the Fire Sacrifice and looked up at the sky.

“I don’t know where the smelting furnace is, but I know there is a Crystal Lizard nearby. Can its shell be used?”

?“Just bring it here, kid. Just bring it here.”

“But it is indeed a technology that can give people rare powers.”

??He said, and smiled and shook his legs that were falling down and burned to white ash.

“Unlike other salary kings, I have somewhere to go and a home to return to. I will only be here, so this foot is actually of little use.”

Ludos thought so in his heart as he looked at Lan En's delicate side face as he listened carefully.

"Let me tell you something. Before I became the King of Salmon, I was a person who studied 'refining'. It is to solidify the characteristics of the soul and then take it out. This is a taboo in history that damages the name of Kurland. "

?“You said you were going to sit here all the time?”

“I have already informed you of the situation.” The witcher nodded to the fire-proof woman, “According to the opinion of Emma’s chief priest, it is now necessary to ring the bell again to wake up the Ashes heroes.”

?Ludos felt that he was speaking much more briskly to Lan En, instead of the carefree and relaxed manner he had just shown when he was suppressing pain.

?After that, he walked down to the second floor where the throne was, returned to the central ground floor of the circular sacrificial arena, and stood next to the fire-prevention woman.

?Although it was still dark, it was not as dark as a bottomless abyss like before.

?Lan En agreed simply.

"You are neither immortal nor ashes. Good knight"

?This means Lan En doesn’t have to worry about the rest.

"Ah, good knight, good boy. You are really the first person to help me think of this."

?“I can do it, it won’t take long.”

??Ludos has not felt this kind of care for a long, long time.

?Lan En looked at the throne in front of him.

?I want to give that power to you, good boy.

?His body was suffering, so at least emotionally, Lan hoped that he could relax a little.

??He went out and wanted to hook up with the expert to see if he had found the good knife he was longing for, so that the two of them could kill the crystal lizard together.

?“Smelting furnace?”

?Ludos said slowly, with a smile on his lips.

On the contrary, there are even signs of getting brighter now.

“After you have done what you have to do, just find a place to live well. Don’t worry, as long as I am still here, the world will still be bright after all.”

"If you can find a smelting furnace, a product made of crystallized lizard shells that are opened and closed to shape, I can help you refine your soul. This can be considered a way to relieve my boredom."

?Lan pursed his lips and struck up a conversation with Ludos. He tried to make his tone more relaxed, just like Ludos himself did when he spoke.

??It is more of a torture instrument than a symbol of that kind of power.

?All this is because Ludos began to transmit power to the Initial Fire on the Throne of Desire.

?“This sounds boring. Have you prepared anything to pass the time?”

? Lan En doesn’t even know where Courland is, let alone this unique technology.

?But when Lan En saw the expert again, the witcher only saw this skinny man standing at the bottom of a tower sealed with an iron gate.

?Those who take the initiative to sit on it will have the awareness to transcend the ordinary and endure pain.

Rather than caring first about how long my disabled body will last, or how long it will take for the darkness outside to get better, why not first care about me, the salary king?

?Wang Xin, the most noble and noble title in the world.

??But he had other news.

?“To pass the time.” The skinny and short old man turned his head to look at Lan En standing next to his throne in surprise, and suddenly smiled again.

?“Good boy, I’m really bored right now.”

?The brightness of the entire world depends on one creature and one fire. No matter how many times he confirms it, Lan En feels like his world view has been refreshed.

?The expert's hands were on the iron railings, and his eyes were looking straight inside.

?At his feet, there was an obviously unusual knife.

?There are strange markings on the knife, and there is also a strange and uncomfortable magic power that can be felt even without turning on [Spirit Vision].

??If there is any weapon in this fire-passing sacrificial site that fits the description of experts as 'a good knife', it should be this knife. But look at what experts are like now.

??He does not look like a calm and precise swordsman, nor does he look like a madman who sneaked into the mountains behind Lothric in a world on the verge of an apocalypse for a good sword.

?At least, he doesn’t look like someone who is crazy about knives.

?The knife is lying at the expert's feet, and further away is the cliff of the Lothric Mountains.

?But the expert didn't even look at the knife. Instead, he just looked into the iron gate with a dull expression.

Lan En walked up the steps suspiciously, came to the expert's side, and followed his gaze.

?Inside the iron gate was a pile of corpses.

?Female, a corpse wearing the same clothes as the fireproof girl!

?Some of the corpses had dried up and turned into skeletons, while others still had a layer of skin attached to the bones. The messy and dirty hair is tangled into locks, covering their faces that may have been quite delicate.

?Those faces also wear silver masks that symbolize blind girls.

?This place is full of corpses of fire-prevention girls.

?The expert's eyes were fixed on one of the corpses.

?“You’re not actually here for the knife, are you?”

?Lan En did not turn to look at the expert, he just spoke in a low voice.

?The expert did not respond or take any action. Lan En didn't ask any more questions and just left silently.

?In this world, in order to inherit the flame, sacrifice and death have become a normal norm.

?But let’s talk about getting used to it. How do you get used to the fact that the person you care about has died in front of you?

Even if he is an expert, this powerful swordsman who can defeat the hero Guda even if Lan En does not come, he can defeat the hero Guda after observing and thinking for a while, he seems to be unable to get used to it at all.

?Lan En walked back alone along the way he came, and the Fire Guard Girl stopped him at the door of the Fire Sacrifice.

?“Please insert this spiral sword into the body of the hero Guda.”

?In the hands of the fire-prevention woman, she held the spiral sword that had just been inserted into the brazier in the center of the sacrificial site.

??Only now that he was out of the brazier, Lan En discovered that the tip of the sword had been broken.

??The witcher picked up the hilt of the sword with one hand and lifted most of the entire spiral sword. The other hand held the broken tip of the sword.

“The Spiral Sword needs power to restore itself, and to do this, it needs to absorb the soul of the hero Guda.”

"Guda's soul" Lan En said calmly, taking out the spark from the alchemy leather bag on his waist. "But his soul has become like this."

The fireproof girl shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter. Just insert the main body of the spiral sword into it and return the soul to Guda's body, and the spiral sword will absorb it on its own."

“Understood.” Lan En nodded, put the broken sword tip back into the alchemy leather bag, and planned to leave with the main body of the spiral sword in his hand.

??But when the tip of the spiral sword was thrown into the alchemy leather bag, Lan En vaguely heard a "bang" collision sound, as if it hit the [turbid current·annihilation].

?However, neither the sword tip nor the giant sword is fragile, so Lan En didn't care.

"Farewell, Lord Lane. May the flames guide you."

??The fire prevention girl stood at the door of the Fire Sacrifice, leaning towards Lan En's back and blessing her.

?Guda's corpse is easy to dispose of, and the body that has lost its soul power can easily break through the defense.

?Lann stabbed the spiral sword into Guda's chest, and also placed the flaming soul on it.

??Although Guda's soul is his trophy, since the Spiral Sword is related to the fire transmission ceremony of this world, Lan En also believes that he is not qualified to possess this hero's soul.

?The sky is getting brighter at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye, which is indeed developing in a good direction.

?And Lan En saw the flakes of ashes floating down from the sky.

?This was probably dispersed from the courtyard of Osroais to the back mountain.

?Although the flames have been temporarily rekindled because Ludos sat on the throne, the consequences of the White Dragon Demon King's experiment are still spreading.

I don’t know what kind of monsters this so-called ‘dragon transformation experiment’ will create.

?Lan En sighed subconsciously.

??Then following the directions given by the tombkeeper who met again, the witcher found the fork in the road without much effort, and there was a crystal lizard in it.

??This kind of giant lizard that can grow crystal clusters on its body can basically grow to a body length of about six or seven meters.

?But for Lan En, both its attack method and its size seemed a bit too 'smooth'.

?So without any twists and turns, Lan En killed the crystal lizard and found a piece of [Dragon Scale Keystone] in its body. It was rumored that this was the crystallization in the body after the crystal lizard swallowed its soul.

?Compared to hunting, peeling off the shell of a crystal lizard is a lot of work.

?Since Ludos didn’t mention the specifications of the shell, Lan En could only pursue the completeness as much as possible.

?So in the end, the demon hunter almost dragged the entire crystallized lizard skin into the Fire Sacrifice.

?This exaggerated size attracted the attention of the old woman sitting in the corner and the blacksmith who was silently working on the side.

“Aha! You really took off the whole shell of this big guy, good boy?”

?Ludos smiled on the throne of longing.

?Lan En always feels like he seems a little happier?

?Although he is not sure, Lan En tentatively thinks this is a good thing.

?“Come, leave it to me. I’ll show you Courland’s craftsmanship!”

?Wang Xin, who was sitting on the throne and suffering pain, his body being burned away little by little, spoke with great energy.
