At the junction, at the site of the fall in the middle of Lake Lienya.

Li Shanren patted his sleeves, stood up in front of the blessing point, then blew the whistle to summon Torrett. After checking the direction on the map, he headed west without hesitation.

After negotiating with the other two founders of the Assassin Brotherhood until midnight, he returned to the trolley and slept directly in it.

Before this, Li Shanren had told Tifa and the others that he might have to sleep very late the next day, so there was no need to set up a tent for him. They could drive away directly after daybreak.

The carriage that he was originally responsible for carrying miscellaneous items was temporarily handed over to Eivor.

After the evening meeting, Altaïr and Ezio decided to temporarily accompany Lee Sun-in to Byerkinworth, a place of knowledge known as the Kingdom's City of Learning.

I heard that the city is the most open-minded place in the entire kingdom, full of academic atmosphere. It not only has a magician's academy, but also a knight's academy that is very popular among melee professionals, a hunter's academy that specializes in training agile professionals, a local demi-human academy dedicated to exploring blood power, and so on.

Even the Order of Sloth opened a slave academy there to train highly qualified slaves.

The slave trader Charles has several slave schools in the city of Olin, and the best of them may be sent to the slave academy in Belkinworth for further study.

However, this slave academy is not welcomed by other academies. It is located in a very remote area, does not participate in any social activities between academies, and prohibits outsiders from entering. It can be said to be closed and low-key.

As a former noble of the kingdom, if his family had not fallen into poverty, Ezio would have planned to go to Byrgenworth for further studies.

However, before that, he also collected a lot of information about the city of academy and learned a lot of information that ordinary civilians could not access.

Altaïr and Ezio also had their own considerations in their choices, not just to follow Li Shanren.

According to them, Byrgenworth may be one of the places in the kingdom where the Order of Sloth is weakest, there is almost no slave trade, and it is easy to get in touch with young people in the kingdom who have ideals and ambitions, which is conducive to the development and growth of the Assassin Brotherhood.

After the events of Olin, the two agreed that the Assassin Brotherhood could no longer be selected from slaves, unless they were recognized by the Golden Apple, accepted the inheritance of the Invisible Ones, and broke free of the shackles of the Slave Mark.

Otherwise, it is better to choose people who do not have slave marks naturally, so as to avoid the tragic situation of mutual slaughter from happening again.

Li Shanren expressed respect and approval for their decision, and then returned the golden apple to them.

After all, if one wants to recruit new people, the approval of the Golden Apple is a necessary test, and it is of no use for Li Shanren to have this thing in his hand for the time being.

If you need it, just borrow it from them.

As an assassin mentor, he still has this right.

......

After Li Shanren walked westward for about ten minutes, a small island slowly appeared in the vast shallow lake, with an open-air church built on the island.

The church was as dilapidated as other churches in the border area, but the difference was that the stone floor of the church was filled with red liquid like blood, and there were many disgusting-looking blood-red flesh balls growing on it.

Those lumps of flesh clung to the stone pillars and walls of the church, as if they were eroding the church, yet also seemed like they were part of it.

This church is called "Rose Church" and is a rare church in the border area where you can't see the statues of Queen Malika or the second King of Elden, Radagon.

However, judging from the growth and climbing directions of those fleshy balls, the so-called statues may have been "swallowed" by them.

At the door of the church, a figure wearing a white battlefield doctor's uniform and a white mask stood there. His clothes looked a little dirty because of the old bloodstains.

"Oh... Isn't this the faded one without the witch? I didn't expect you to defeat Greg and seize the first Great Rune. Congratulations..."

Seeing Li Shanren approaching on horseback, the man in the white mask deliberately stretched out his voice and spoke with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

When Li Shanren first arrived in Ningmu Gefu, White Mask greeted him, but because Li Shanren was in a hurry at that time, he ignored him. (See the beginning of Chapter 27)

This also left a bad impression on White Mask to someone.

"I want to talk to you about something." Li Shanren coughed dryly, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in the white mask.

After all, he needs help from others now, so it's not good for him to put on a sour face.

"Hehe...is there anything else we can talk about? Aren't you a Faded One who doesn't need any guidance? I see you're doing pretty well, maybe you really have a chance to become the King of Elden. Please keep moving forward and ignore me, a nagging person." The White Mask sneered.

"I met Two Fingers in the Hall of the Round Table." (See Chapter 194)

Hearing this, White Mask suddenly fell silent.

It's just because he was wearing a mask that people couldn't see the expression on his face.

"I think... there's something wrong with those two fingers." Li Shanren continued meaningfully.

The two fingers are messengers sent by the Supreme Will to the border area, responsible for conveying the Supreme Will's instructions.

However, since the shattering of the Elden Ring, most of the Double Fingers have died.

At present, Li Shanren has only met a living Double Fingers in a mysterious room in the Round Table Hall.

However, the only remaining two fingers were also broken and decayed, giving people a feeling of being dying.

Li Shanren's words seemed to turn on a switch. The white mask raised his head slightly and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"You...are the spokesperson of blood, right? I have witnessed the power of that lord in a fortress in Nimgefu."

Li Shanren smiled mysteriously and took out a bright red rose.

"Only where the power of blood reaches will blood roses be born. Hmm... I picked this rose nearby. Your stay in a place like this must be related to that adult."

Listening to Li Shanren's words that seemed to be pressing him step by step, the gaze from inside the white mask suddenly became much deeper.

After a while, he smiled nonchalantly and said, "Haha... I didn't expect you to know this. So tell me, what do you think of the two-finger guidance?"

"Two fingers are deceiving us."

The first words Li Shanren said were earth-shattering.

If these words were heard by other people in the round table hall, especially by the servant who untied the two fingers, she would be accused of disrespect.

After all, questioning the two fingers is to question the supreme will and the golden law, which is an unforgivable crime.

Upon hearing this, the White Mask made a "tsk" sound, half smiling, but did not express any opinion.

Li Shanren could only continue to say: "It is impossible for the Faded One to become the king. I defeated Greg by luck, and he is only the weakest demigod. There are so many powerful enemies on the road to becoming the king, and it is impossible for a mere Faded One to defeat them. Summoning the Faded One back with two fingers is just a bunch of empty words to send us to our deaths."

"And...I doubt that..."

Li Shanren's tone suddenly became low.

"When the magic ring was broken, the guidance of the two fingers might have been destroyed as well. What the two fingers convey now might just be his mumbling."

"During my contact with Two Fingers, I didn't feel Two Fingers' trust in the Faded Ones. They were just using us."

After hearing Li Shanren's series of outrageous words, the man in the white mask did not show any obvious movements, but he was already extremely shocked in his heart.

Because the thoughts of the faded person in front of him were surprisingly consistent with his inner thoughts.

This also made him let go of his previous grudges a little.

"Okay, very good. You can say this. It seems that we are the same kind of people." The white mask said with satisfaction, "In this case, I will not care about your previous rude behavior. You came to me to follow that adult."

After saying that, he took out a blood-stained dark cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Li Shanren.

"I can give you a chance. The things in this can help you get rid of the guidance of the Two Fingers. Make good use of it. As you said, the Two Fingers and the Blessing had abandoned the Faded Ones. Now when they are facing despair, they shamelessly summon the Faded Ones back. Facing such an existence, there is no need to talk about friendship."

"Once you feel the beauty of this gift, come back to me."

White Mask said, then let out a meaningful laugh.

"I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Li Shanren took the bloodstained cloth bag, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

Half a minute later, he rode Torret slowly on the water, heading towards the nearest blessing point, with a faint smile on his face.

Li Shanren was not surprised that White Mask would accept him again.

After all, his words completely touched White Mask's heart.

Because this is what White Mask would say to "Faded One" in the game. Li Shanren just changed it slightly and said it again to White Mask.

If they hadn't had a bad experience before, White Mask might have accepted him as a close friend on the spot.

It’s just a pity that White Mask has gone too far down the wrong path, and there is no destined to be any good outcome between them.

After moving a little further away from the white mask, Li Shanren opened the blood-stained cloth bag. Inside lay five dark fingers filled with dark blood clots. The knuckles were rotten and smelly, and the broken parts showed signs of being cut off at random.

[Item Name]: Festering Blood Finger

[Instructions]: The finger cut from the Nameless One can be used by the Faded One after special treatment. After the target's blood is absorbed into the fingertips, write the target's name and you can invade as a blood finger. If you write an invasion symbol on the ground, you can randomly select nearby targets to invade. Try to become a knight of blood, the great blood dynasty is calling you.

After reading the item description that was completely inconsistent with the one in the game, Li Shanren took a deep breath, put away the five festering blood fingers, and quickly rushed to the nearest blessing point.
