Chapter 43 The cruel truth

Fire shrine.

In the blacksmith's shop where sparks were flying everywhere, Andre the blacksmith looked at the huge and cold weapon in front of him in astonishment.

"Well... I'm counting on you, I hope this weapon can be smaller, and it can be used in accordance with my body shape. If possible, it is best to preserve the combat skills on the weapon."

Xia Yu looked at Andre's stunned appearance, and said a little embarrassedly, he knew that he was a bit difficult, but...sometimes there must be some challenges.

Forging some ordinary weapons there all day long, how could he improve his forging technology? He made this request only to make Andre improve. Yes, he did it for the sake of the blacksmith!
After thinking about it, Xia Yu himself believed it, and the embarrassment in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he even stood up.

"What? Is it a bit too difficult? Well then, I'm still making things difficult for others. It seems that your forging technology can't help me for the time being."

"No!"

Andre suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Xia Yu from withdrawing his weapon, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Since I am a blacksmith, as long as you ask, I will forge, so don't forget, you are fighting for fire and people...and I am the same, although I have a forging mission that is no different from a curse , but that’s the only way to have hope, right?”

Andre grinned and gave him a reassuring smile, then raised his forging hammer and knocked on the huge ice dog hammer tentatively.

After confirming, Andre put down the hammer and nodded to Xia Yu.

"You're welcome, just leave it to me. A weapon is a comrade in arms. If you forge it well, it will never betray you."

After speaking, Andre sat aside and began to think about how to reduce the size of the weapon while retaining its characteristics.

Seeing this, Xia Yu didn't bother the other party. After leaving a lot of souls behind, he turned and left the blacksmith shop.

The soul is the currency of the soul world. When the world is weakened, the gold and silver coins that used to be worthless, only the soul that everyone has has become a hard currency.

Although the world is full of living corpses, there will always be a small number of normal people, and the currency that circulates among them is souls without owners.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Xia Yu walked to the lower level of the sacrificial field along the left side of the stairs. He wanted to replenish some consumed props.

Next to the stairs on the lower floor of the sacrificial field, a small figure with a pointed hood greeted Xia Yu happily after seeing him.

"Hey...you are all right, that's great, then it's my turn to do my duty, if you have something you want, just say it, you're welcome."

"Well...but don't ask about the source of things."

Xia Yu also walked over with a smile. The other party was a rare friendly NPC in the third world of souls. His name was Greerett, and he was a thief. Of course, he could take whatever the other party stole as he wanted.

Because this is an agreement between him and Greerette, he will do one thing for the other party, and the other party will help him with the stolen things.

"I'm just here to add some props, I don't need too many things."

While talking, Xia Yu squatted down in front of Greerett's booty stall, took a few flame pots and throwing knives, and then put down some souls.

"You don't need to give me your soul." Seeing Xia Yu's soul put down, Greeter hastily declined, "This is the help I gave you, you don't have to do this."

"It's okay, this soul is not much for me, just accept it."

While putting away the props, Xia Yu smiled and rejected Greerett's refusal. Seeing this, Greerett paused, did not speak again, but nodded silently.

Just when Xia Yu was about to get up and leave, Greeter suddenly said, "Don't forget the promise, remember to hand over the ring to a girl named Luo Lei in the town below the high wall. Old woman of the Tower."

"This request is really not very good, um, it's just that I can't sleep well..."

Xia Yu paused when he got up, and replied softly: "I see, then I'm leaving."

"Well, goodbye, please be safe."

After saying goodbye to Greerett, Xia Yu sighed softly while turning around. He was a little hesitant, wondering if he should tell Greerett the truth.

He hasn't reached Undead Town yet, but he's played the game and knows that the old woman named Loretta is long dead.

Greerett's expectations could only be in vain, or even despair. At the end of the game, Greerett even had the idea of ​​seeking death, and he put it into practice, and finally died in the city of Lothric.

But if he didn't tell Gretel, he would definitely not give up. Maybe he would go to the undead settlement to find Loretta by himself, and then learn the truth.

"Oh, melancholy."

Xia Yu caressed the blue tearstone ring on his finger. This was the ring that Greerett wanted him to give to Loretta, a precious and large gemstone ring named after the tearstone.

"What's wrong? Lord Ashes."

The questioning voice of the fire-proof girl brought Xia Yu back from his melancholy, and he had unknowingly returned to the center of the sacrificial field.

Looking at the fire-proof girl who cared about her in front of her, Xia Yu suddenly took her hand: "Come out for a walk with me."

After all, Xia Yu pulled the fireproof girl up the stairs. Although the fireproof girl was a little surprised, she didn't resist, and followed Xia Yu obediently to leave the sacrificial ground.

The outside of the sacrificial site still looked dilapidated, and the resurrected living corpses wandered around, occasionally letting out an unknown roar.

After kicking all the living corpses near the cliff off the cliff, Xia Yu found a relatively open place and sat on the edge of the cliff.

Although there was a cliff beneath his feet, he wasn't very afraid. Anyway, he was an immortal ashes, even after being smashed to pieces, he could be resurrected from the bonfire.

Looking at the boundless sky and feeling the fireproof woman standing behind him, Xia Yu suddenly said.

"If someone important to your friend dies, should you tell your friend about this cruel thing?"

"Is the friend Mr. Ashes mentioned Greeter?"

"Huh?" Xia Yu turned his head in surprise, looked at the quiet face of the fire prevention woman and asked in confusion: "How do you know?"

"Oh, Lord Ashes is really slow." The fire-proof woman shook her head lightly, "An unknown person suddenly came to the sacrificial ground, so I went to ask about it, and then Greret told me about his agreement with Lord Ashes gone."

"Ah this..."

"So, the lady named Loretta has..."

"That's right." Xia Yu suddenly fell back and lay on the ground, "That woman has already met an accident, but Greeter doesn't know it. Do you think I should tell him?"

The fire-proof girl knelt beside Xia Yu, and said, "Parting between life and death is the norm in this world, Master Ashes just needs to obey his own heart."

"Your answer..." Xia Yu smiled and closed his eyes, "It's as if you didn't say anything."

"Sorry, Lord Ashes."

"It's okay, I don't blame you, I'm hypocritical, what right do I have to hide the truth, even if it's the cruel truth."

"Master Ashes, no matter what you think, I will support you, after all, I am your Fireproof Lady."

"Ah."

After the peaceful conversation, the surroundings became quiet again, only the faint sound of the wind remained.
