Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 30 Shadow Beast
The words of the two fingers echoed in the air, time seemed to freeze at this moment, and there was a deathly silence in the hall.

It didn't speak again, but just stood there quietly, as if waiting for everyone to slowly digest the news.

God Man - a very special title in this land.

They were chosen by the supreme will from among the demigods, served by different fingers, in order to become the gods in charge of the laws of the next era.

Before the golden tree became the law, Queen Malika and Queen Nighteyes were gods of the previous era, and the war between the two gods jointly wrote the prologue of the golden age.

And now, among the three gods and men, one will step into the abyss of conspiracy, throw a stone flake with his own hands on that dark and treacherous night, and stir up a frenzy that overturns the entire era in one fell swoop.

A general with a unparalleled sharp blade turned into a bewitching and blooming scarlet flower on the extremely tragic battlefield, dragging the richest fertile soil in the borderland to hell.

The last one has printed his footprints in countless myths and legends. He is not only the foundation of becoming a king that conspirators grab at all costs, but also a saint worshiped by countless mortal beings, but in the end he sleeps forever in that cocoon of sleep.
What is intriguing is that the two more powerful beings in today's golden royal family-singing the fundamentalism of the golden law, Radhagang who is perfect like a god, and being supported by both the old and the new parties, are most likely to end the dual rule of the god-king, and at the same time Godwin, who has become a god and king, is not a god-man.

Lucia's heart was beating violently. In his eyes, the so-called god-man was by no means a supreme honor, but instead meant the monitoring and control of two fingers, the plotting and peeping of careerists, and even exuded the power from inside to outside. The supreme will raises Gu-like malice.

No, maybe it's not appropriate to say "maliciousness". If you think about it carefully, it's probably just a kind of condescending ruthlessness and indifference.

If being born with the identity of a demigod means that he has stepped into the center of the vortex of the times, then becoming a god-man means that he has crossed to the most powerful wave of the storm in one step.

Just because he knew what Lani, Michaela, and Marenia would encounter in the future, he knew that he had no way out.Behind him was the abyss that crushed the entire glorious golden age like fate.

Finally, he stood up and bowed deeply, saying: "I will obey the oracle."

In just a few breaths just now, he forcibly dispelled the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and forced himself to calm down—at least for now, his identity as a time traveler is still safe, and the supreme will has not attacked him Meaning, on the other hand, the choice of him to become a god-man is clearly an established decision of Supreme Will, which cannot be questioned and changed by anyone.

Shuang pointed back to him and said: "From now on, I will stay in the capital and serve by His Highness's side. You can call me 'Epsilon'."

"ε (Epsilon)"?Lucia was slightly taken aback. Could it be that the two fingers serving the gods are numbered according to the Greek alphabet?But I am the fourth God-man of the Golden Age, not the fifth.
Suddenly, he noticed Queen Malika on the side. Before she became the eternal queen, there was also a two-finger serving by her side.As the "α (Alpha)" in the Greek alphabet representing the original and the core, perhaps only the pair of fingers that assisted the gods to create a new era can bear this title.

"What exciting news, Lucia."

Queen Malika regained that calmness like water. She got up and came to him, with a gratified look on her face, she said, "Even if we are gods and demigods, we are just ordinary members of the mortal beings, and we can be favored by the supreme will." , becoming the defender of the law in the next era is undoubtedly our greatest honor."

Lucia smiled lightly, thanked the Queen for her congratulations, and at the same time secretly glanced at the expressions of the people for a week—Lance Shanks' initial shock had been gradually replaced by joy; Feeling joy; Marenia seemed the happiest, maybe it was because the statement that "Mr. Two Fingers are good people" has been confirmed.
Only Radagon, as the most loyal defender of the golden law, the astonishment and bewilderment on his face at this moment gradually faded away, replaced by a frosty gloom.

"Envoy of God, I may have to remind you that the ancient dragons believe in the original Elden ring in ancient times, and they are not subject to the current golden law." He said suddenly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their eyes to Radagon. Lucia noticed that the corners of the queen's mouth twitched indistinctly. There was a flash of joke in her eyes when she looked at Radagon.

Epsilon bowed slightly, and still said gently: "Your Majesty Radagon, I have indeed received your advice, but I also need to remind you that it is not you and me who have the right to make decisions on this matter."

"What's more, this matter is not without precedent—His Royal Highness Lani served by Beta grew up under the light of the full moon since she was a child. Strictly speaking, she is also not subject to the current golden law."

Hearing this, Radagon clenched his fists violently and stared at the two fingers in front of him, but the latter just stood there calmly and did not make any supplements.

After a long time, he slowly let go of his palm, his eyes showing a bit of numbness, he let out a long sigh of relief and nodded, "I understand."

"An envoy," Malika said suddenly, "according to past practice, every pure and flawless god will sign a soul contract with a shadow beast. Can Lucia also have a shadow beast attendant?"

Lucia's heart suddenly trembled, shadow beast attendant?

Could it be the kind of shadow beast that usually secretly monitors its master, and once it turns its eyes against its two fingers, it will immediately jump up and go crazy and devour the master?

For a moment, he really wanted to sing "Listen to me, thank you" to the queen. This kind of thing is not something he can handle at this age, can he not!
However, before he could express his opinion, Epsilon responded: "Exactly. Although the two recent gods, His Royal Highness Mikaela and His Royal Highness Malenia cannot sign a contract because of their own curses, but just as His Majesty owns Mary Likas, Her Highness Lani has Blaze, and Her Highness Lucia should also have her own Shadow Beast attendant."

It looked at Lucia, "Prepare the Shadow Beast Summoning Ceremony for Your Highness now, I will open a fog door, you only need to determine your needs for Shadow Beast servants in your heart, and the creatures that best suit you at the junction will be In response to your call, descend from beyond the fog gate."

As the voice fell, streams of golden light streamed from Epsilon's body, extending like vines in midair, weaving into a golden arch, and the center of the arch was a fog of nothingness.

Lucia's mind was in turmoil, and she still asked me to determine the demand for shadow beast attendants?
Feeling the complicated and subtle gazes from all around him, he scratched his head anxiously in his heart, not knowing how this kind of forced buying and selling business could be spread on his own head. Isn't this obviously forcing him to plant a spy with supreme will beside him? running dog?

If he really had to say it himself, he didn't want a monster on the same level as "Black Sword" Marikas, otherwise he would have to be chained to death with two fingers for the rest of his life—don't you see that the loyal brother like wolf was eventually killed by that monster? The two fingers named "Beta" are driven crazy, if I really choose Marikas No. [-], in the future, I will be cut off by anyone who thinks anything wrong.

If you have to choose, it's better to have a guy who is good for nothing except being cute. He only knows how to eat and wait to die every day. At least he can avoid the risk of being stabbed in the back. It became a little brighter.

In the next second, the fog door suddenly burst into light!
Countless rays of brilliant light broke through the fog, and a group of bright light cocoons floated out of it, slowly floating in front of Lucia.

He stared blankly at the light cocoon, his cold hands and feet went numb for a while, when did he miss the match, and when did he lock his hands to confirm? !

The light cocoon hovered at the level of his line of sight, and suddenly a crack appeared on the light cocoon, and then the cracks became more and more, until there was a bang, and the light cocoon shattered into countless scattered light spots.

I saw a creature not much bigger than a fist emerge from the streamer, and when the brilliance faded away, everyone looked intently, and it turned out to be a little snow-white fox!

The hair on her whole body was as pure as frost and snow, except for a vine-like light golden pattern at the corners of her eyes. At this moment, she was curled up in a ball with her eyes slightly closed, and only her fluffy tail, which took up most of her body length, was swinging leisurely in mid-air.

Lucia tentatively stretched out two fingers, and gently stroked her little head. She rubbed it comfortably subconsciously, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she opened a pair of ice-blue eyes, facing Lucia blankly. See.

Just at this moment, the light surrounding her disappeared, she blinked for no reason, then suddenly screamed and fell to the ground!

Fortunately, Lucia had quick eyesight and quick hands, and picked her up. The little fox climbed up Lucia's arm and onto his shoulder with a whoosh, and grabbed his clothes tightly, not daring to act rashly again.

"So. This is his shadow beast attendant?" Queen Malika froze for a long time, and whispered softly.

The two-fingered Epsilon, who has been as calm as a mountain since its appearance, also fell silent at this moment, and said after a long time: "The choice of Wumen is the projection of the image of the god's heart. His Highness Lucia is worthy of being the god-man chosen by the supreme will. His actions are really extraordinary. .”

Ladagon sat there silently, his face as handsome as an ancient Greek statue could not see any fluctuations.

Mikaela gently leaned on her chin with her knuckles, looking thoughtful.

After the initial astonishment, Lance Shanks had understood the current situation, and couldn't help covering his lips and chuckling.

Among the people in the hall, only Marenia stared at the little fox on Lucia's shoulder, and exclaimed, "Wow, it's really cute."

　ps.1. There is no evidence that Godwin is expected to end the dual system of God-King and become God and King at the same time. It is only the second setting of this article. It was also based on this setting that the Golden Prince did not have to marry a God-man. Wife, hope everyone knows; 2. Michaela and Marlenia cannot sign a contract with Shadow Beast because of the curse, which is also a second design. Although I said before that there will be about 80.00% of the second design in this article, but these are more important and meaningful The content of the controversy will still be mentioned to everyone, the dog's head saves his life.
