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

After returning from the border, Li Shanren was no longer sleepy, so he simply took out a lighting stone and placed it on the ground, then took out Greg's research notes and started reading them carefully.

It was still daybreak and most people in the convoy were still asleep, so no one came to disturb him.

After these days of slow research, he finally saw some of Greg's research results from the lines interspersed with various complex inner monologues.

The Great Rune Fragment in Greg's hand is the piece located in the center of the Elden Ring before it was broken, and it perfectly connects with other Great Rune Fragments with different powers.

It can be said that it possesses the power of connection and fusion. It was precisely because he discovered that the Great Rune had such power that Greg came up with the idea of ​​reattaching his own limbs.

Limb grafting is essentially about taking the power of others and integrating it into one's own body to become stronger.

According to Greg's research diary, as a descendant of a demigod with a thin bloodline, his strength was probably no different from that of an ordinary person before his limb transplant.

It was through limb transplantation that he gradually became stronger.

But no matter what, limb reattachment is only a superficial application of the power of the central rune, and it may even be too rough.

Moreover, Li Shanren seriously suspected that the "limb transplant" also caused Greg's mental disorder.

The further he flipped through the research diary, the less content he found about the Great Rune research. Instead, the entire diary was filled with Greg's ambitions and fantasies that had expanded after he gained power.

For example, words like, sooner or later he will return to the Golden City and ascend the throne, and that people like Marennia and Latan will eventually be trampled under his feet and become his subjects.

In addition, the appearance of the "descendants of limb-replacement nobles" at the border seems to indirectly indicate that limb replacement has the defect of causing intellectual degeneration.

The "Descendants of Limb-Replacing Nobles" are the product of Greg's limb-replacing experiments.

He used a noble as a carrier and spliced ​​a large number of limbs onto its body, making it look like a spider with multiple arms, but most of the arms were only used as tools for crawling. Only the frontmost arm, which was suspected to be the original arm of the host, held weapons and shields for fighting.

However, the descendants of limb-transplanted nobles that Li Shanren met many times had basically lost their human sanity and were almost no different from wild beasts.

Regardless, Greg's path was wrong.

It is impossible for Li Shanren to strengthen himself through such a cruel and disgusting method as limb transplantation.

Although the second half of Greg's research diary was basically just his fantasies and ramblings, his research at least made it clear to Li Shanren the essence of the power of the Great Rune in his hand.

That is integration.

After that, we need to study how to mobilize and apply this power.

.......

Li Shanren kept reading his research diary in the underground dragon carriage until dawn.

The others were a little surprised to see that Lord Lithen, who had claimed that he was going to have a "good night's sleep", had woken up so early.

In response, Li Shanren just smiled awkwardly and did not explain anything.

The rest of the day was mostly just a boring journey with nothing much to talk about.

After several days of traveling, they gradually came from the southern part of the Kingdom of Jonia to the central area of ​​the kingdom.

However, as a country with a very vast area, the central region is also extremely vast and the terrain is quite complex.

There are not only crisscrossing mountains, vast forests, and mighty rivers, but also undulating hills and endless plateaus.

They are still in the Great Jonia Forest which covers the central and southern parts of the kingdom. Previously, the forests around the city of Olin and even the forests near the city of Fam were only a small part of this forest.

This is also the largest forest in the entire kingdom, so it is named after the kingdom.

Li Shanren and his convoy are expected to take another seven days to get out of the forest.

Then we have to pass the edge of the Sunset Mountains, cross a major river that flows from west to east through the entire kingdom, and finally walk up the Bollia Plateau, which is more than a thousand meters above sea level, to arrive at the city of academy "Bailkinworth".

Even if they had horse-drawn carriages and trolleys, it would still take more than two months to travel the entire distance.

If you walk, it may take three or four months.

So for the team, the journey has just begun.

Of course, Li Shanren himself doesn't mind the long journey.

Ever since he knew that the Skeleton King near the city of Olin posed a great threat to him, he wanted to stay as far away from him as possible, and it would be best if he never met him again in his life.

If he hadn't been worried that the other people in the convoy wouldn't be able to endure the endless trek, he might have gone even further.

However, it would take more than two months just to get to Byerkinworth, and at this normal speed, it was unknown how long it would take to continue crossing the northern border of the kingdom and head to the Caesar Republic.

I'm afraid I'll have to spend more than a year on the road.

However, if you really want to go to Caesar's Republic, you don't have to travel so hard.

After all, this world has a space teleportation array. Although it costs a lot, Li Shanren is not short of money now, so he can just teleport there when the time comes.

In fact, there is a teleportation array in Olin City that goes directly to Byerkinworth.

However, the teleportation array in this world has certain limitations. Not only is the teleportation price expensive, but children under the age of sixteen are not allowed to teleport without wearing protective gear.

Because children who are too young cannot withstand the pressure of the space force during teleportation, their internal organs may rupture during the teleportation process, causing serious injuries or even death.

If you want to teleport, you must buy special space protection equipment, but this equipment is not only a disposable item, it will break and become ineffective after the transmission is completed, and the price is outrageously expensive.

Before looting the treasury of the Order of Sloth, if Li Shanren purchased a set of this protective equipment for every child in need in the convoy, coupled with the already expensive transportation costs, it would be enough to bankrupt him.

After being teleported to Byerkinworth, I basically didn't have much money on me, and I was afraid I would have to beg for food.

Of course, he can afford the money now.

However, if one wanted to find the next city with a teleportation array, one would have to deviate from the current route and head to another distant city, which was only three or four days shorter than reaching Byerkinworth.

If you calculate it this way, it’s not very cost-effective. You only save three or four days, but you still have to spend a lot of money. It’s better to go directly to the destination.

As for the option of returning to Olin City to take the teleportation array, Li Shanren chose to give up after careful consideration.

Not to mention that he just wanted to get away from the Skeleton King nearby as soon as possible, but just because he had just killed the Archbishop of Sloth in Olin City, he couldn't just go back.

After all, several days had passed, and the Order of Sloth might have already sent people to Olin City to investigate.

Even though Wei Luo had used a magic-blocking gold bomb to erase their presence before leaving, who knows whether the people of the Cult of Sloth would be able to track them down through some extraordinary means.

If Li Shanren took anyone back again, he might fall into the trap.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Li Shanren had no choice but to hold his nose and travel slowly.

......

As evening approached, Tifa and her friends found a relatively flat open space to set up camp.

At the rate they were going, it would take another two days to reach the next town.

Of course, that town was not yet qualified to build a teleportation array. Only the prosperous big cities guarded by the marquises known as the "Seventy-two Pillars of the Nation" were qualified to build expensive teleportation arrays.

After sitting in the car for a whole day, Li Shanren stepped on the snow, stretched lazily, and stretched his tired body.

At this time, Ezio and his servant Arahan passed by Li Shanren. The two were talking, seemingly discussing something.

"When you get to the next town, buy some supplies there, then ride back to Olin City and meet up with the uncle at the inn. Tell them the current situation and ask him to bring people to Belkinworth..."

"Understood, Master!"

"By the way, take this money. If the uncle doesn't gather many people, just use the teleportation array in Olin City. Maybe you can get there in advance and help us prepare a temporary residence."

Ezio said as he handed Arahan a bulging purse.

"Master, if you give me all the money, what will you do?" Arahan asked with wide eyes, grabbing the bulging purse.

He could naturally recognize that what was inside was the gold Russo that he had taken from the treasury of the Order of Sloth.

"Well... I don't have much need to spend money in the caravan. Lord Lisern won't ask me to pay for meals and travel expenses..." Ezio looked back at Lord Lisern behind him and pondered.

"These are all minor issues. In short, the Brotherhood is in urgent need of expansion. Therefore, the group of uncontrolled assassins who rebelled against the Brotherhood gathered by the uncle in the inn are very important to us. So, we must bring them here." Ezio said righteously.

"I will definitely not let you down, young master!" Arahan promised seriously.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Ezio smiled with relief.

Just as the two were preparing to go together to help set up camp, suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"Ezio, I have something to ask you."

Hearing the voice, Ezio was slightly startled, then turned around and saw Lord Lithen looking at him with a half-smile.

This made Ezio a little nervous.

Lord Lisern, you didn't hear what I just said, and you really want to charge me for my travel expenses...

"Ahem, that's it, Arahan. I'll go over first."

Ezio gave his final instructions, coughed dryly, put aside the ridiculous speculation in his mind, and then turned and walked towards Li Shanren.

"Lord Lisern, what can I do for you? Do you want me to ask Altaïr to come with you?" He said after standing still.

"No need, I'll come to you." Li Shanren touched his chin and smiled mysteriously.

But that smile seemed inexplicably dangerous in Ezio's eyes.

"Please tell me."

"I've known you for so long, but I still don't know how to write your name. Why don't we exchange ways of writing our names?" Li Shanren smiled faintly.

"Is that all?" Ezio was slightly stunned at this unexpected request.

"Yes, that's the case for now."

"Oh well."

Ezio squatted down, picked up a branch from the ground, and wrote a string of square characters on the snow -

【Ezio Auditore da Firenze】

After writing, he handed the branch to Li Shanren and said, "This is my name."

"I see."

Li Shanren glanced at the characters on the ground, memorized them deeply, and then left his own made-up homophonic name on the snow.

"Um... is there anything else you need?" Ezio asked after exchanging the spelling of their names.

"Of course, there is one more thing." Li Shanren took out a small jar and a dagger, "I want to borrow a drop of your blood."
