Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 129 The Princess and the Knight

After leaving the Magician's Tower, Li Lin felt a sense of loss after a long absence.

Is this the last time she and Lani saw each other?

Forget it.

He can't stop here.

Laya, a cute girl with platinum blonde hair, told him the shortcut to the royal city, let's go there.

After leaving Kalia Fortress, Li Lin met Yiji standing in the middle of the road, as if waiting for him.

Iggy bowed his head at him.

"Thanks to your help."

"You're being polite." Li Lin quickly returned the greeting.

Iggy shook his head.

"As Lady Lani's military adviser... Allow me to express my deepest gratitude to the old attendant who has taken care of her since childhood."

"You are Master Lani, a true hero."

hero...

Lani is the princess of Caria, and he is a knight who aspires to be the hero of Caria and is also a Carian.

Can such an ending be considered a happy one?
"My duties are coming to an end. Iggy has served Lord Lani for many years without interruption."

"It's been a long but fulfilling journey."

What do you mean, are you telling him your last words?
Li Lin was about to interrupt, but Yiji didn't give him a chance to speak and continued.

"Lady Lani, I'll leave it to you."

"She went to the tower called 'Rena' and followed the dark path of the God-Man."

Iggy lowered his head, his eyes behind the mirrored helmet looked kindly at the knight who was only as tall as his knees.

"Please be sure to serve him until the last moment."

From Mr. Yiji's mouth, Li Lin sensed the same firm determination as Lani.

He got it.

Li Lin said no more.

"I promise you."

After getting the knight's affirmative response, Iggy showed a relieved smile on his face under the helmet.

Li Lin also showed a smile that was no longer confused.

This story has not yet come to an end.

The knights of Kalia made up their minds at this moment.

He wants to protect his princess until the last moment.

----------

Li Lin returned to the grassland where the Three Sisters Tower was located.

He has already been to the three magician towers, except for the magician tower named Reina.

Coming here this time, the seal in front of the gate of Lena's Magician Tower has indeed been lifted.

There was no one in the tower, and the layout on the first floor was similar to that of the Lani Magician Tower, so Li Lin went directly to the second floor.

Here, he found a set of witch costumes identical to those worn by Lani.

(This outfit should also look very good on you.)
"shut up."

Asumi obeyed and became quiet, but at the same time, she silently carved this set of clothes into her memory.

……

Although it didn't feel right, Li Lin still put this set of clothes into the storage bag.

On the third floor of Lena Magician Tower, Li Lin saw a portal of magical creations.

There is darkness inside the portal, leading to the unknown side.

The hallucination appeared again.

Li Lin saw the scarlet waterfall fall and drown him.

Bloody flowers bloomed on him, and the dark coffin sealed him.

The knight closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep in the coffin.

When he woke up again, he had already stepped into the portal.

This is a long, shallow underground river.

The river in front of me is clear, and there are a lot of Yeluhepa grass and vegetation growing on the bottom of the river, and there are many dry small trees growing on both sides of the river bank.

On the surface of the river, a large number of silver fireflies flickered in the air.

Despite all the sparkling life that dances in the air, the atmosphere of this subterranean river is equally depressing.

Not far in front of Li Lin, there was an opened sarcophagus.

"Wow wow..."

He stepped into the lake and stepped forward.

Inside the sarcophagus, there was actually a petite Lani doll.

Li Lin reached out and picked up the doll.

The doll is only about the size of a palm, but when you hold it in your hand, you can feel a human-like touch.

...is too cute.

The appearance of the little doll is almost exactly the same as that of Lani, the subtle parts are exquisitely made, and it is more delicate, and the proportion of four heads and body is cute and pleasing.

It was obviously a unresponsive doll, but it made him feel a little cold.

Through the doll, Li Lin saw Lani's real body.

The hallucinations must have come too frequently.

Li Lin couldn't help showing a self-deprecating smile.

"Are you Lani?"

he asked.

The puppet was motionless and unresponsive.

(It's just a puppet...)
Asumi couldn't help but remind her.

"I know."

Li Lin hesitated, out of some unrealistic fantasy, he didn't put the petite Lani doll into the storage bag.

He took out a thin string and hung the Lani doll around his waist.

With his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to protect this puppet in battle.

Go find Lani quickly.

Along the main stem of this river, he walked forward.

Walking out of the narrow underground river passage, the area in front of you is a relic of a dynasty.

(This is the relic of the Ulu Dynasty)

Miss Teardrop said inside him.

"What is that..."

Before Li Lin finished speaking, he suddenly dodged to the left.

A large pile of rubble carrying purple light came from the sky, shattered the wall of the ruins in front of him, and then hit the place where Li Lin had just stood.

Through the broken ruins, Li Lin saw an Esti hanging upside down.

Was he teleported to the underground world where the Eternal City is located?

Compared to the giant worm that covered the sky and the sun in General Broken Star's memory, this Esther, who was less than ten meters long, was like a tiny baby.

Moreover, the tail of Esti seemed to be bound by something, and it was hung upside down above the river, unable to move.

The General has died a glorious death.

Nor does he have the power to seal the fate of the stars.

But Esti is only ten meters long...

[Wuxinliu·Iai].

The slash that hit the sonic boom appeared again.

Before Ashmi could appear beside her host, she saw that this little Esti had been cut in two.

If the Eternal City had such a hero...

Continuing forward along the main trunk of the river, Li Lin saw a large area of ​​damaged ruins, as well as mummified soldiers and clay figurines holding spears.

"What exactly is the Ulu dynasty you're talking about?"

After killing the last clay figure in front of him, Li Lin wiped the stained bloody blade with the vegetation by the river with some disgust, and at the same time asked Ashmi inside him.

(I don’t know much about this place. I only know that this is an ancient dynasty that is much older than the Eternal City. The Uru Dynasty already existed before the Eternal City of Nokron and Nokstra appeared. )

"Is that so... Since Estee also exists, and the damage to the buildings here is worse than that of the Eternal City, it must be a civilization destroyed by the Supreme Will."

Astra, a variant of Astra (Latin: star).

(I think so. It is said that the Uru Dynasty believed in the original gods and the scarlet god of corruption, but now, they seem to have disappeared)
"..."

Li Lin knew nothing about the so-called Primordial God.

But the Scarlet God of Corruption has not completely disappeared.

The knight lowered his head and looked at the red spot on his left hand.

It seems to be a little bigger.

Is it his delusion?
