Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 127 Invitation Letter from Volcano Mansion
"Ah, thank you."

La Ya bowed her head gratefully.

"I... I am very glad to have met you."

"……You're welcome."

Is it necessary to say this level?

"That gangster may be resting in the empty room in front. Please, please help me get the necklace back."

Li Lin nodded, turned and left.

Following the direction that La Ya pointed, Li Lin indeed saw a broken house.

A man is outside the hut... cooking shrimp? !
To be honest, the lobster he was cooking looked delicious.

Li Lin likes seafood very much, but has not eaten it for a year.

It should be said that after he came to this world, he never had a decent meal.

"Who are you?"

Boiled Shrimp watched the strange fader stand by his pot and stopped.

"Are you okay? Look..."

The man's tone gradually softened as he looked at the strange faded person's expression.

What a gangster...

It was a man in cloth clothes and a strange metal helmet.

It looks more like a torture instrument than a helmet.

"Did you steal the girl's necklace?" Li Lin asked calmly.

Smelling a dangerous smell, Brother Boiled Shrimp said in a panic: "What's stealing? She ate my shrimp and wasn't prepared to pay. I just took my due reward!"

"..."

So this is ah.

Forget it, that girl looked quite pleasing to the eye.

"How many runes?" Li Lin asked bluntly.

Today, he has quite a lot of runes stored on him.

With his current physical fitness, if he wanted Melina to strengthen his body, he would need an astronomical amount of runes.

In the real world, if ordinary people want to rely on the runes they get to strengthen their bodies all the time, even if they spend their whole life in poverty, they will not be the opponent of a demigod.

—Except for Greg.

Using runes to strengthen the body is a technique that every finger witch possesses. If it is really that easy to become stronger, the former Faders have already recast the magic ring and reproduced the era of the golden law.

"One thousand!" Brother Boiled Shrimp said without hesitation.

"Eight...eight hundred." Seeing that Li Lin didn't speak, he continued.

"Five...five hundred is not bad..."

Li Lin handed him a thousand runes.

"I'm not a robber."

Although his style is similar to that of a locust, the things piled up in the storage bag in the infinite space can already pile up a hill.

"Here you are." Boiled Shrimp handed him the necklace.

"It's just a useless thing. You came to get it yourself. It's none of my business."

Li Lin nodded, and turned his gaze to the iron pot where he cooked the shrimp.

"Ah? What else do you want to do?"

Brother Boiled Shrimp followed the eyes of the strange faded person.

"Oh, you want to eat shrimp."

Li Lin looked away.

Brother Boiled Shrimp laughed.

"Yes, the prawns are freshly cooked, so they are very fragrant."

After giving some runes to the shrimp cook, Li Lin took all the shrimps.

Seeing the strange fader take away all the shrimps and give back a lot of runes, Brother Boiled Shrimp couldn't help talking.

"Hey, do you know that girl?"

"Just met, how?"

"Oh... let's not talk about it, no matter what, it's the fault of the deceived person."

What kind of hooligan remarks is this...

But the prawns are really delicious.

"It's just that that woman is really weird."

"Don't let me say that to you after I got the necklace back."

(Master, that girl, does have oddities)
Ashmi finally couldn't help but speak out.

Well, he actually felt it too.

It’s just that Li Rin is not used to calling a cute girl weird.

"Sigh... well, at least she didn't die on the roadside."

The man wearing the helmet that looked like a torture instrument said finally.

Li Lin took a surprised look at the man who cooked the shrimp.

The faded ones are indeed good people who want more.

"Is this your necklace?"

Back at Xiaoting, he stretched out his hand and showed Laya the necklace he got from Brother Boiled Shrimp.

"Yes, this is indeed the necklace that was stolen from me."

"Thank you, you are my benefactor."

Laya lowered her head and said respectfully.

The feeling of this girl's words is indeed exaggerated.

"...I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?"

"I am Laya, serving the master of the volcano mansion, Lord Tanis."

The moment he heard about Huoshan's official residence, Li Lin's expression changed slightly, but in just a moment, he controlled his expression again.

The girl with keen perception raised her head curiously. Seeing that the faded man's expression did not change, she continued.

"It is my duty as a recruiter to invite faded people with heroic qualifications to the official residence."

Hahaha.

Li Lin laughed inwardly.

"You are strong, and that doesn't just mean you are good at fighting."

"You also have a strong heart and the courage to confront your companions with swords."

Laya's height is no more than 1.5 meters, and when she bows down, the top of her head only reaches under Li Lin's chest.

From an angle she couldn't see, Li Lin showed a cold look.

"It is these qualities that my master desires."

Great, in this life, it seems that he has a chance to avenge Tragos.

Although the current Tragus did not die because of the assassins in the Volcano Mansion.

But this does not prevent him from transferring his anger at Tragos' death before his eyes, as well as his pain and hatred of his own powerlessness, to the Volcanic Mansion, which preyed on the kind faded one.

"Please accept this item."

La Ya handed him an invitation letter.

"Fade ones with heroic aptitude, please head towards the sub-altan plateau in the golden tree land."

"I was blessed and guided, but I could only wander on the edge of the border, looking at the golden tree in the distance..."

"You are definitely not such an ordinary person."

Hearing Laya's compliment, Li Lin couldn't help thinking.

Does this cute girl know the truth about the behavior of the volcano mansion?

(She must know!)
Ashmi suddenly jumped out of his mind and said.

(After drinking the Holy Grail Dettol, can you even see my thoughts?)

Li Lin thought.

(...)
As if something had been exposed, Asumi shrank.

(I...I can only see very superficial thoughts. As long as you try not to say what you are thinking out loud in your mind, I won't hear it.)
"As long as your strength is proven, the Volcanic Mansion will definitely formally invite you to become a hero who fights side by side, that is, to become a member of our tribe."

"I will."

Li Lin accepted the letter and said to the girl with a happy smile.

The knight's smile was sunny, but Laya felt an unexplained chill for no reason.

Is the weather around here really that cold?
After receiving the letter, the girl Laya also informed him of a shortcut to the royal city.

——Because the Deidas elevator has not been in operation for a long time, and the road has long been in disrepair.

　Although I suspect that Laya doesn't understand the truth about Huoshan's mansion, in fact, even Li Lin herself doesn't know what is hidden behind it...
