Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 49

"Have you heard of the 'Forge Force'?" Lance Shanks asked.

Lucia immediately thought of those furnace knights with unique skills. They used golden-red prayers that were different from golden prayers, just like the color of their armor.

No one knows what kind of powerful creatures are hidden under the pair of golden and red heavy armors. Although the furnace knights have a human body shape, they can easily transform into projections of ancient furnaces and cast all kinds of powerful creatures that exceed the limit of the human body. Great skill.

Seeing that it aroused Lucia's thinking, Lance Shanks did not keep it secret, but continued to tell the ancient secrets he knew.

"That is the blessing from the melting pot of life in ancient times—that is, the original golden tree. According to the high priest of Gulan, the blessing contained in our bodies before the taboo war that destroyed all civilizations thousands of years ago is also the kind of blessing The golden and red staggered appearance. Later, the ring of primordial collapsed during the war, and the primordial golden tree was also overturned for a while. During the war of the gods, the creatures in the entire junction experienced hundreds of years of losing their blessings."

"When Queen Malika became the final victor in the battle of the gods, and the Elden ring stripped of the 'Destined Death' was promoted to the new law of the junction, the pupils of all creatures lit up again. Blessing. It is the golden color that symbolizes life, even if we and the Kalia people, who still maintain other beliefs, are no different from the people of gold in terms of the essence of blessing."

Hearing this, Lucia immediately dispelled a doubt that had been lingering in her chest since the crossing, that is why the ancient dragon clearly belonged to the ancient dragon belief and the ring of origin, but the blessing in the pupil was pure golden color.

Unexpectedly, the Age of Faders after the Shattered War was not the first "Era of Fading" in history. As early as hundreds of years ago, the Eternal Queen Marika and the Warlord Geoffrey had already passed the stage that the future generations of the Faders would embark on. the way.

The great cause of setting things right from scratch and re-establishing the law on the wasteland where rites and music have been ruined is a tragic and epic epic for later generations, but it is just a fresh death under the brilliance of the law for the ancestors. Well-known footnotes.

"Back to the power of the furnace itself," Lance Shanks said after a moment of silence, "according to common sense, at the moment when the law has been changed and the blessing of gold spreads to every corner of the junction, except those born before the golden calendar The ancient furnace knights, hybrids, demi-humans and a few outcasts who are not allowed under the golden law should not have any new creatures with the blessings of the furnace born, not a single one—do you understand what I mean?"

"But in reality, it's clear—" Lucia was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a chill all over her body.

Yes, now that the Golden Law is in full swing, there is still a kind of creature who is born with the blessing of the furnace. They are covered with furnace tumors and hard horns all over their bodies, and they are born with physique and strength far beyond ordinary humans.

"Son of Omen." He said in a daze.

Lance Shanks sighed softly, frowned slightly and said: "In the past hundred years since the establishment of the Golden Law, more and more children of evil omens have appeared in various places every year, especially in the area of ​​the royal capital. The probability of being born in the normal birth process is close to [-]%. Scholars of the royal family have spent dozens of years, but they can't find any theory that can explain the reason for their birth."

"Imagine a couple who grew up under the golden tree and devoutly believed in the golden law. They gave birth to a baby with twisted description and horns without any external interference. How could they not be regarded as monsters? ?”

Lucia naturally understood the meaning. To give an inappropriate example, the impact of this kind of encounter on the common people is similar to that of a Europa couple in the previous life who gave birth to a Negro heir without warning, and even More than anything.

Thinking about it carefully, the transformation of the sacred blessings of ancient times into a symbol of curse and defilement would not have been an overnight change. The fundamental factor that contributed to this trend of thought must be that the people of gold encountered some completely unknown situation, and If the unknown is not answered reasonably, it will turn into fear, and the fear that cannot be relieved will eventually condense into the deep-rooted hatred.

"This kind of panic among the whole people reached its peak after Queen Malika gave birth to the twin brothers Menggot and Meng. The army returned to the capital. The people of gold had originally prepared a grand celebration for the triumph of the god and the king, but when they saw the two children and the Eternal Queen could not escape the curse, everyone collapsed." Lance Shanks said.

"They thought that they saw the omen of disaster from the experience of the royal family, so they began to call those children 'children of evil omens', and called their bloodlines and inherent blessings 'cursed blood' and' Mantra', then rushed to the street shouting, using kitchen knives and hammers to kill the descendants of the omen that he had personally born, and even mobs formed a team to attack the Golden Temple, demanding that the queen put the newly born twins to death for public display. "

"Is there such a thing?" Lucia couldn't help being stunned by the madness of the citizens of Rodel, but thinking of what he saw and heard in the arena a few hours ago, he seemed to suddenly get the answer.

"How did this work out?" he asked.

As a faded person in the past, he certainly knew that neither Mengget nor Mengge was dead. The latter relied on his ingenuity to avoid the storm of the shattered war and quietly established a large-scale blood dynasty underground. The former swears to defend the Golden Kingdom from the beginning to the end, even though it has never had the warmth of home for him, but it is more like a cage full of swords and thorns.

"The King of War has made a move," Lance Shanks replied.

Even though she is an ancient dragon priest who is powerful in the world, and what she is talking about is old things that have been buried in the depths of history, but when she mentions that man, she still shows a kind of awe from the bottom of her heart.

"Holding that huge king axe in his hand, he guarded the gate of the Golden Temple day and night, even though the mob went from pleading to questioning to hysterical yelling and shoving, he just used his body to bear their attacks hard, and then used his whole body The divine power, like the abyss like the sea, condensed into a barrier to block their progress. After three days and three nights, the queen walked out of the golden temple and announced how to deal with the child of ominous omen."

"Since then, the Son of Omen was cut off by people and abandoned deep in the ground. Although the two princes, Menggot and Mengge, did not have to suffer this kind of punishment, they still could not avoid the fate of being exiled. The Rodels also Specially bred lobsters, crabs, frogs, and other creatures will be put into the well. Stimulated by the magic power of the children of ominous omens, they will grow into alien species that are far superior to the same kind for the abandoned children to hunt and eat Of course, it is also common for hunters and prey to switch positions."

"Over the past 16 years, the Rodel Sewer has swelled into an extremely complex ecosystem. I have sent ancient dragon knights to explore some of these areas, but due to limited manpower, I have not obtained much valuable information. There are unconfirmed rumors that the Ortapis knight has become the teacher of Mengerte and Menger, and under his secret teaching, the twin princes have grown into the leaders of the children of ominous omens."

"They called the older Montgomert—the King of Omens."
