"You lost, brother. You are weaker than I expected." The goddess around the city stared at her blood relatives, her gaze was as complicated as her complexion.

"You've grown up, Felianoel." God of War stood up, looking at his little sister who gradually descended from the sky to the ground.There was both relief and exclamation in his eyes. "The winner has the right to dispose of everything, Felianoer, if you want to take anything from me, just do it."

On one side, the dark purple storm dragon whined.But it was firmly suppressed by the goddess' pet, the last ancient dragon, Midier, and couldn't move.

And the goddess just quietly looked at her brother.The complex complexion finally settled into sadness and anger.

"You..." There was a faint sadness in her voice. "... passed the fire, didn't it?"

"..." She was silent for a few seconds.Because in her eyes, the scarf used to cover the face of the God of War disappeared along with the divine power of the cover.Then, the face that already showed signs of turning into a living corpse was revealed.

The initial furnace will burn most of the soul and power of the firewood.Even if there are still a few residues, its remaining carrier can no longer be classified as a living thing.

There may be exceptions in this world.

But there is only one exception, the incredible man who brought miracles and surpassed them.

And apart from her, except for the foreign visitor named Shier Teer, even the most powerful god, the Sun King Gwen who first inherited the first fire before the first salary king.After being burned by the first fire, there will be only living corpses driven by obsession.

Sun God of War, is dead.

What exists here now is nothing more than the remains of the old God of War's intelligence, memory, and part of his power.And even this small remnant will soon dissipate in the wind with the dispersal of obsession and the passage of time.

"This is the duty of a god." The secret was revealed, but the wreckage of the God of War revealed a relaxed expression. "This world is no longer the world of the gods but the world of human beings. Human beings govern this land and shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the first fire and maintaining the operation of the world. However, human beings will always make mistakes, and the transmission of fire will always fail. , and at that time, it is time for us Protoss to do our duty."

"...I see." Felianoer rolled his eyes. "So, you can't leave the mountain?"

"Father God expelled me from the court of gods, and I have fulfilled my duty to the gods at that time. After entering the primordial furnace, I have fulfilled my duty to the world. And the last thing I have not finished is my past and The covenant made by the dragon." God of War raised his hand, and the Storm Dragon, which had been freed from Midil's claws, meekly stretched out its head for him to caress.

In the initial period of the Fire Age, the gods defeated the ancient dragon and gained the dominion of the earth.

In the early days of the Flame Age, the Sun God of War, who sympathized with the dragon's misfortune, became friends with the dragon, and was expelled from the group of gods by the Sun King Gewen.

"This mountain is called the Ancient Dragon Peak, and it is the last place where all the blood of the ancient dragons except your Midier remain. And the obsession that allows me to survive as a living body is to protect the Ancient Dragon Peak ——I can no longer leave here. I am destined to stay here until the end of the age of fire, or the bloodline of this ancient dragon is completely extinct."

Feliannuoer turned her gaze away—she didn’t ask the stupid question of ‘Lothric also has dragons, can you go to Lothric with me’—the undead are the undead, even if they were transformed by the gods For the undead, the only pillar of rationality is their obsession.

Obsession does not tolerate self-deception or making use of it.

She was silent for several seconds.

"I need an army—my husband has awakened, and she will decide the ultimate fate of this world. I will be the sharpener for her on the path of trials. I also have a hunch that she needs a strong army to serve She fights."

She got an answer.

"Weinstein can help you, he will lead my bodyguard to fight for you."

On the other side of the mountain range, a knight in lion helmet and gold armor with a dragon spear bowed to her.

So she nodded and rode on Midier's back.

"I will..." The goddess around the city considered her words. "...Say hello to Gwyndolin for you. It seems to have encountered some trouble. Perhaps the group of humans he sheltered have turned their backs on it."

After finishing speaking, the black ancient dragon raised its huge wings.

"Philianoel." Her brother suddenly stopped her. "If your husband, that Miss Steele, finally made the same decision as she did last time, what are you going to do?"

The goddess did not hesitate.

"I will enter the primordial furnace with her. In this way, my affections and my duties, whether as a god or as a wife, will be fulfilled to the end."

The next moment, the dragon's wings fluttered.Just like when she came, she disappeared without a trace in a series of sonic booms.

The remains of the God of War watched her go away.Watching her chasing towards the evening sun like a tiny bird.

"Thus, the Gwen line has declined." The nameless king muttered to himself. "The era of the gods is completely over."

....................................

"That's right, the fire of crime can really burn firewood—in this way, my research has gone a step further."

In the ruins of the deep church, the core of life belonging to Eldridge, called the firewood of the king, burned out in the red and black fire of sin—it formed part of the fire of sin, Let the flames grow to a corresponding degree without any wear and tear.

The energy conversion rate is unbelievably high.

And the nature of the fire of sinful karma has not changed because of this.

Miss Steele exhaled softly.

——The fire of criminal karma can be fueled by seclusion.

——Then, the next thing to verify is whether the material that is more advanced than the abyss...the abyss...can also burn in the flames of this alien species.

——If I could... Tsk, if only I could direct the Abyss into the Primordial Furnace.Unfortunately, the abyss itself is an accompanying phenomenon when the flame decays.If you can't get close to Chuhuo at all, it will be corrected by the order around Chuhuo.And if the fire of crime karma can become the carrier medium between the two...

Miss Shirtle gritted her teeth lightly.

——It is irrational to have high expectations for something before all the dust has settled.Too much hope only invites disappointment.And too much disappointment can cloud my thinking.

—What a pity, if it had been Persephone who had come with me this time, perhaps I would not have to use my own brains.

This concludes the operation of thought and the operation of experiment.Counting from when Kelsey came back with the gift, it took about three hours in total.

Three hours is not long.The hostages housed in the ablution chapel did not even show signs of awakening.

She looked at her companions——

One thing was beyond her expectations, that is, since Kelsey rejoined the team, it was extremely rare that there was not even one unreasonable trouble - no unreasonable accusations, no sudden hysteria and sarcasm.From beginning to end, she looked very well-behaved.

No, maybe the word well-behaved is a bit inaccurate - it should be calm and focused.When she was called upon to act, she did her job well.When her opinion was called for, she delivered it succinctly—no qualifiers, no display of emotion.All in all, very good.

—and she did play a part.

Ms. Stelter, I feel that my perception of Kelsey has changed a bit - from 'It's better not to see each other anyway' to 'This guy can still help you in normal times' some busy'.She wondered if the lynx's behavior was just a blip.But she felt that she might be able to have some expectations for Kelsey.

After all, this is not spreading fire, and the whole world is responsible for it, so no mistakes can be tolerated.

——If she can keep going, then, when I get back to Terra, maybe my life will be easier.

Miss Steele thought, and looked at one—well, couldn't see it, because she'd just been looking at them subconsciously, and they weren't here.

Because the sky has grown dark.The time was pointing towards dusk, and my journey this time was not so urgent that I even had to skip dinner and sleep—the fire girl left while she was concentrating on her research, and went to prepare for the campsite.And Kelsey volunteered to follow, perhaps wanting to provide some help while understanding the humanities of this world.

—I hope they can get along well.

——At least it should be like Yelena's last visit... The Fireproof Girl should let Kelsey go.After all, no matter how you look at it, my sister is gentler than that lynx.

Her feet touched the ground, she turned her head, and at the end of her field of vision, the civilians in the cleansing chapel were gradually waking up, and they made various sounds of panic or expectation.

——I'm not interested in being a guide.

The girl's whereabouts were hidden in the optical distortion, but before she disappeared, she still stirred a gust of wind to open the door of the chapel to both sides - the villagers screamed for this.But after the scream, it was the joy of regaining freedom.

They poured out in disorder, without order except relatives and acquaintances.A few guys with limited legs and feet were left far behind, while the rest ran to the woods scrambling and scrambling.

a mess.

The guide signs and torches used at night that Ms. Shirter had prepared for them were randomly pushed to the ground and turned into discarded garbage—clearly, someone overestimated the organizational capabilities of these medieval refugees and average quality.And some strong people among them even pushed the old and weak people they didn't know to the ground, as if this could delay the non-existent pursuers and beasts, thereby increasing the chance of survival.

--mob.

—that is always the case with mortals.

Miss Steele was not interested in guiding them—anyway, the nearby wild animals had been killed or scared away by her, and the road leading to the outside of the woodland was not rough.If a few of them could die from internal fighting, it can only be said that they deserve it—she can understand the fear of these weak people, but she has always been too lazy to accommodate these things.

—No mortal has ever failed me in disappointing me.

——Forget it, anyway, they didn't plead with me and make entrustment requests.

She lifted off unseen, drifting in another direction—but she flicked her fingers a little as she departed to magically activate the courage of these mortals.She didn't count on it, and she didn't care how it turned out.

She is just thinking.

——The greatest advantage of mortals lies in their changeability.Moody, good and evil uncertain.Unlike the gods, if the gods firmly believe in a truth, they will not violate it for hundreds of thousands of years.If a god makes a promise, it will be fulfilled even after thousands of years.The creatures that the gods fell in love with 1 years ago will not change their minds 1 years later... And this may be the reason why the Fireproof Girl and the others are still willing to fulfill the old covenant after 4000 years.After all, she can be regarded as a mutant of God.

——It’s not the case with people. Breaking promises and breaking contracts is commonplace.Loyalty only needs one reason to betray... People have always been like this, and short-lived species have always been like this.However, this is also the greatest advantage of human beings.They can easily accept new things, new things, and the truth that was regarded as treasure 5 minutes ago can be regarded as waste paper 5 minutes later.And this also means that the speed of development of mortals is much faster than that of gods, and this is indeed the case.

Breathing lightly, she recalled her many experiences in the dream world—indeed, in many worlds, the age of mortals can always replace the age of gods.Just because the gods follow the old ways and almost prevail in all worlds-do not break their oaths, do not give up old knowledge and ideas, what happened 1000 years ago and what will happen after 1000 years unless they are forced to change by external forces.This is a common problem of long-lived species, and it is also the reason why long-lived species always lose to short-lived species.

And so is this world.

She didn't go through the soul [-] period of this dream world, but she can still be sure that this world has crossed the stages of 'gods', 'heroes', 'kings' and so on.And finally arrived here now.

but--

——Even if the gods and heroes are gradually dispersed.But is there really a difference between Rodland and Lothric?

In the era ruled by gods, mortals farmed and protected themselves with swords.The most profound lore is the art of crystallization magic and the secrets of dragons.

In the age of kings, mortals still plowed, still wielded knives and swords, and the most exquisite learning was still crystallized magic and dragon's secret.

There is no difference between the civilizations of the two eras, there is no difference in order, and there is no difference in technology-humanity has spent 4000 years proving that they have not made any progress compared to the gods.And the underlying rules governing this world are Chuhuo, not the laws of physics commonly used in other worlds.

- The rules of physics and the order of time and space will be distorted near the edge of the world and when the first fire is dimmed.In this world, Newton would really become an undead and rise from the coffin.What constitutes the essence of life is also the soul, and it is the flame rather than the structure of flesh and blood.And this means that the changeability of mortals may not have any advantage in this world compared to the invariability of gods.

——After all, no matter how to build factories, develop industries, and develop technologies.When the first fire is about to be extinguished, it is still up to the heroes to spread the fire as the salary kings.Because it is impossible for a person to forsake the flame, it is impossible for him to forsake his own soul... and neither the nuclear reactor nor the spaceship can keep the first fire alive.

——Perhaps the age of darkness is the age of mankind?Land of Darkness, Land of Wandering Souls?

——Can the undead really be considered human?They only live on their obsessions, and when their wishes are fulfilled or shattered, they will turn into living corpses on the spot... and more importantly, undead have no way to reproduce.To die one less false longevity species that will explode at any time?I don't think that's human civilization.

She sighed softly, and her mind gradually became biased.

——The era of the first fire cannot be changed... I have no evidence to prove that letting the fire go out will change the era from Dark Soul to Bloodborne.Therefore, even if I succeed in the end, it is nothing more than creating a new era that does not need to spread fire, but still relies on the order of the first fire.And in that new era, perhaps some old rules should not be changed lightly.

——If I can't find a way to continue the era that can surpass the initial fire.Then maybe I need someone, a group of guardians to keep the order that maintains the primordial fire for me.Mortals are too changeable, and gods are a better choice.Maybe one day the guardians I choose will decline like the Protoss today, but at least until that time point arrives, the world will not be destroyed under the order I made.

—Phew, maybe I'll be called again then?

She clenched her fists and chuckled—what was she thinking, the vegetables were still in the field, so she was thinking about adding more sugar or more salt?It's meaningless, compared to that, maybe another thing is more worthy of her consideration now.

——Yelena, I promised her last time that I would bring her to the world of Dark Souls again.

——How can I fulfill my promise?

Miss Steele, troubled.

..........................................

I can’t write anymore, I’m going to be a beast today_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 190: Girls are laning...

A question was shelved, but replaced by another more difficult doubt—even though the former involved tens of thousands of living beings, the latter only targeted Yelena.But Miss Shirter has already optimized the former to the level of choosing between two, but she has no clue about Yelena's agreement now.

—I'm going to leave after all.

——I always have to deal with all the difficulties and perplexities on this land.

——However, if I really solve everything here.Maybe it will take a long time for me to come back again.Maybe it won't be long in Terra, but in this land, it will last for thousands of years.

——Thousands of years... At that time, if I bring Yelena over again.Then, can this be regarded as fulfilling the covenant I made with her?

thought Miss Steele, then shook her head resignedly.

An agreement is an agreement, and what I use to ensure the smooth implementation of the agreement is my own ideas and heart.You can never fool yourself if you deceive yourself.The promise of breaking away is destined to turn into a mark of shame in one's heart.

——Is it only possible to sincerely apologize to her after going back?

——It can only be used as the last option... Ah, really, it would be great if Yelena came with me this time instead of Kelsey.

A thought that was not very friendly to someone came to mind, but this thought was quickly snuffed out by her lightly.In any case, venting anger on others is not a manifestation of education after all.And she, Miss Steele, was always very particular.

"Forget it, don't think about it. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain... If there is no way, I will go to the mountain."

Shirtel let out a soft breath—she looked at the sky, and there was still no trace of the fire girl and Kelsey returning.

—They may have teleported elsewhere.

——It’s strange, it’s just preparing some ingredients.It takes such a lot of trouble... Hmm, maybe the Fireproof Lady took Kelsey to a nearby city to do some shopping?

——There is this possibility, after all, even if I want to eat with my body of ashes, I can't taste much.However, although Kelsey exists in the form of a spirit-like body, the perception of taste will not be eliminated.It would be nice to take care of her tastes, take her to see the local customs and provide menu options.After all, this is something my fire prevention girl can do.

——However, Fireproof Girl... Ah, the reason she told me should be true.She was literally there waiting for me.So, if one day -- it won't be long -- when the dust settles, will I be like so many times in the past.Leave forever, and part with her?

The old worries have not gone, and the new worries have come again.

Worrying things, one after another.

The Fireproof Girl is not Athena, nor is it Erica, or Liliana—Miss Stelter can abandon them at will because she knows that those goddesses and female knights are only attracted to her because of her own strength .Maybe there may be a little real feeling in it, but that emotion is very light, and it can be forgotten soon.

Athena made it clear from the very beginning that it was only for profit.And the pair of twin knights... They are human beings, not elves or angels who are so infatuated that their hearts can be broken by love.Ordinary people are always changeable and good at forgetting. Maybe in a month or two, maybe in three to five years, they who hold the power to govern the world will forget this experience like an ordinary lovelorn.

In other words, those guys left behind by Ms. Shirter are all characters who can live well without her, and even live better and more comfortably without even suffering from mental illness.She was able to have no scruples because of this, and she didn't care.However, in addition to this, the fireproof woman is another type.

——The fireproof girl is a protoss.She has the aura of Gewen's lineage on her body, obviously inheriting the bloodline of Princess Sun.
