When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

At the junction, the golden tree represents something very significant.

It represents orthodoxy, it represents the law, it represents the eternal crown that hangs in the sky and brings light to the earth.

The golden tree is also the carrier of the Elden Circle and the foundation of the borderland.

Any act that desecrates or damages the golden tree is an unforgivable felony.

Of course, after leaving the junction, the meaning of the golden tree may not be so rich, and it may be just an ordinary symbol.

Unless, the one who built that golden tree was the power of runes belonging to the Elden Ring.

Unless, the one who built that golden tree was the host of the fragments of Elden's Ring.

......

Li Shanren felt the rune power in his body being continuously absorbed, and frowned slightly.

But he didn't dare to stop at will, because it might make his more than three hours of drawing unfinished.

Therefore, he could only wait for the emblem of the golden tree to absorb enough power.

At this time, Eivor and Amicia, who were watching, also noticed something was wrong.

They couldn't see Lu En, but they could notice that Li Shanren suddenly stopped there, with his open palm facing Hugo's back, as if he was transmitting something.

"Lithern?"

Eivor stepped forward slightly, wanting to check the situation, but was stopped by Li Shanren with a wave of his hand.

"No need to come over, just wait for a while."

Li Shanren felt the remaining rune power in his body, and it was almost reaching the bottom in an instant.

He could only close the black book and hand it to Amicia beside him, "Help me take it."

After freeing his hand, Li Shanren immediately took out two six-level rune fragments and crushed them.

A string of golden runes floated from his hand and merged into his body, and 4000 runes were instantly replenished in his body.

These rune fragments do not come from the fragments on the Eldon Ring, but the rune fragments left over due to the blessings contained in the residents of the border area.

It is often found in cemeteries, corpses, and coffins in border areas. Sometimes you will even encounter glowing skulls that contain weak blessings. After crushing them, you can pick up first-level rune fragments.

Under normal circumstances, the higher the level of the rune fragments picked up, either because the deceased was deeply blessed and powerful during his lifetime, or because a large number of small pieces of rune fragments gathered together and gradually formed large pieces. Rune crumbs.

After the supplement, the golden tree emblem on Hugo's back continued to absorb in an orderly manner, as if it could never be satisfied.

Li Shanren paid attention to the consumption of runes, and when he was about to run out, he pinched another sixth-level rune fragment to prepare for the shortage.

Finally, when the total amount absorbed reached 10,000 runes, the golden tree emblem finally stopped absorbing, flashing a golden light and exuding a simple and heavy atmosphere.

Li Shanren withdrew his hand and watched the changes quietly.

He could feel that this change would be harmless to Hugo.

"How's the situation?" Amicia couldn't help asking with concern, holding the book in her hand.

In her eyes, Li Shanren seemed to have taken out something and crushed it, but she could only hear a clear crisp sound, but could not see what the crushed object was.

"Maybe we need to wait a little longer." Li Shanren said without deliberately explaining.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, the aura of the golden tree emblem gradually converged and turned into an ordinary golden tattoo.

The little boy lying on the fur mattress suddenly let out a weak groan, and then slowly woke up.

"Well......"

"Hugo!"

Amicia moved forward and squatted down excitedly.

"Amicia..." Hugo saw this sister who depended on him as soon as he opened his eyes, "I seem to have had a long dream."

"Is it the same dream as usual?" Amicia asked, stroking Hugo's face.

The black lines that were originally like dry branches disappeared without knowing when, leaving only a clean and tender little face.

"Yes, it's very dark there, I can't see anything, I'm the only one..."

"There are many, many rats. They surround me. I can't escape..."

"Suddenly a golden light came in from behind, and I woke up..."

Hugo said intermittently.

"That must be Brother Lithen's power. He and Brother Eivor worked together to find a way to cure you." Amicia said.

"It's not over yet, Amicia." Li Shanren looked at the mice outside the firelight, which were still rushing over. "He can't be said to be cured yet."

"Hugo, can you feel the power of the spirit bond in your body?" Eivor stepped forward and asked seriously, "You need to use the curse on your body and the bond spirit of the rats to truly transform them. Strengthen yourself so that you won’t be bothered by them again.”

Hugo couldn't understand Eivor's words very well, and asked confusedly: "Does the Qingling mean...become friends with them?"

Eivor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's what it means."

Then, he squatted down and looked at Hugo and said, "What's more important is that after you become friends with them, you can take them into your unique spirit space. Without your permission, they cannot leave there. You don’t have to worry about them hurting others anymore.”

During the time spent with Hugo, Eivor gradually understood the child's thoughts.

He clearly understood that Hugo was more afraid of innocent people dying, towns being destroyed, and bones scattered everywhere because of his power, rather than dying of being corroded by the curse.

As a pharmacist, during his contact with the rats, he could vaguely feel that using extremely large numbers to devour other lives was not the real power of the rats.

Among the rats, whose bodies were festering and whose blood was stinking, disease also resided.

However, it is not the time for an outbreak yet, because this area has a small population and the disease is not easy to spread.

If an epidemic breaks out, it will be a real natural disaster. Wherever the epidemic reaches, there will be corpses everywhere.

And those corpses that died of illness will most likely be eaten by the rats, allowing them to grow and multiply.

If left unchecked, the rat swarm will grow bigger and bigger like a festering wound. Unless there is a high-level transcendent who is good at curing diseases and detoxifying and can eliminate the rat swarm, death will surely occur everywhere.

The rats currently only stay in the border area between the United States of Say and the Kingdom of Jonia, which is also a gray area.

Those in power have not noticed the appearance of the rats, and by the time they really turn their attention, countless people are estimated to have died.

Even now, the rats have destroyed no less than three human gathering places.

Just because the area is relatively sparsely populated, they can't cause much damage.

If the rats cannot be eliminated, they must be sealed and controlled.

"If that's the case, I'm willing to give it a try." Hugo said softly.

After that, he sat up with Amicia's help, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the power coming from his body.

Compared to Eivor who couldn't figure out his abilities for a long time, Hugo seemed to know what he should do very quickly, as if there was some force guiding him.

"O grumpy and hungry creature, please listen to my call and make this spiritual covenant with me!"

A low voice came from Hugo's mouth. This chant was not entirely out of his subjective consciousness, but more like an instinct.

As the call came out, the surrounding rats suddenly calmed down and collectively focused their attention on Hugo.

As if waiting for their "king" to issue an order.

As the only highly intelligent individual among the rats, they may really think that the child in front of them is their "king".

So when the power of the bonded spirit escaped and fell on every mouse like raindrops, they accepted it without any resistance.

Slowly, in Hugo's mind, the complex and huge consciousness of the rat pack stopped being frantic, and seemed to be calmed down, gradually calming down.

After feeling that the consciousness of the rats was truly connected to him, Hugo sat cross-legged on the fur mat, raised his hand slightly, and the emblem of the golden tree lit up on his palm.

The next second, a golden vortex appeared among the rats, as if leading to another space.

"Go in and rest, where you won't have to endure hunger, pain and confusion."

Upon hearing the deed owner's call, the rats immediately set off and swarmed toward the golden vortex.

Li Shanren looked at the whirlpool, his eyes slightly lost in thought.

He actually felt Rune's aura from it.

If you look closely, you will see that it is also made up of countless rune light spots.

Could it be that the golden tree emblem absorbed him 10,000 runes on its own just to open up this space?
