Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 47
"...Is anyone there?"

Very familiar conversation.

The blind girl Haida seemed to have greeted me in this way at first.

The yellow-haired girl turned her head, her eyes were covered by a black cloth.

blind?

"Yeah. A passing fader."

"Please, please listen to me." The girl, wearing a pink and white dress with many stains, said to Li Lin.

"My name is Irena. I escaped from Moen City in the south. The servants in the city rebelled. I was born with poor eyesight, so I couldn't fully understand what happened, but I heard a terrible roar. Coming from all directions.”

"Father let me escape...but he still stayed in that city, thinking that it was the duty of those in power."

He is a responsible person in power.

But it seems that he is not a qualified father.

Looking at the weak figure of the blind girl sitting alone by the street lamp, Li Lin thought.

"I was worried about my father. The servants were very angry and hated us all. Those who escaped with them were attacked by them...all disappeared."

Was he the only one who survived because he was desperately protected?

"Will the same situation happen in Moen City..." the girl continued to say worriedly.

"I would like to ask you, can you give this letter to my father who is staying in the city?"

"Even if I bear the reputation of being a coward who abandoned the city, I still hope that my father will leave that city."

The girl paused, and said in a begging tone, "I hope father survives."

Is a good daughter.

While telling her request, the dusty yellow-haired girl took out a letter from her waist.

"I'm about to go to Moen City, and I can agree to your request." Li Lin replied.

The yellow-haired girl immediately looked happy and reached out to hand the letter to Li Lin.

"Thank you. Please accept it..."

"how about you?"

Did not receive the letter, Li Lin asked.

"what?"

The yellow-haired girl was a little at a loss.

"Your father let you escape. He should have found someone to escort you."

The yellow-haired girl was silent for a moment and said: "They were attacked by servants, and some died. The few who survived also disappeared after bringing me to this place."

Li Lin originally wanted to accuse these people who abandoned girls, but when he thought about this troubled world where life was like nothing, he just sighed in the end.

"So? What are you going to do?"

This girl is not a fader and has no way to go to the Round Table Hall.

"A blind man like you will die quickly and silently if you stay alone in a place like this."

Li Lin said directly.

Whether it's a soldier who lost his mind, a monster or a giant passing by, or even a faded person with evil intentions...

This girl probably will not have a better end than death.

Irena's right hand holding the letter couldn't help but froze in mid-air, and fell silent without a word.

"Is your father prepared to let you escape somewhere?"

The girl shook her head silently, and then said: "There are, but I don't know."

That's enough.

He probably gave it to a trusted subordinate, but that subordinate was either killed or ran away.

"Send Buddha to the west... Do you know of any safe place near here? I can send you there first."

With such kindness, the lord of Moen City should give him the information about Jianke Great Sword no matter what.

If he knew.

Although there is no such reason, he would not leave the girl here alone, but Li Lin still couldn't help thinking so.

Surprisingly, the yellow-haired girl looked shy and shook her head again.

let's go.

It was just a little troublesome for me, but for the girl, it might be the difference between life and death.

Li Lin reached out to take the letter, but did not take back the hand that picked it up.

"I can take you to your father if you wish."

said the knight.

"Maybe you can give me directions or something."

These words were just to comfort the girl, and Li Lin didn't expect a blind man to help him guide him.

The girl's outstretched right hand froze in mid-air. A few seconds later, with a slightly trembling hand, she put on the gauntlet of Li Lin's right hand.

Follow the direction of blessing.

In fact, there is no need for the guidance of blessings. Crossing the Sacrifice Bridge is a road that leads directly to Moen City.

On this road, Li Lin and Irena met a wandering businessman.

Speaking of which, I don't know if the wandering businessman dressed like Santa Claus that I first met in the church is still there.

The saddle he gave me as a gift was very useful and of good quality, and it is still as good as new.

Li Lin bought a red amber pendant and information about the Asian group from the businessman he met on the road with Irena.

[Red amber pendant:

Can increase the upper limit of blood volume]

The light armor of the homeless knight Li Lin wore was not too heavy for him now, so he removed the martial talisman given by Nefeili from the talisman leather bag, and replaced it with a red amber pendant to increase his health.

After completing the transaction with the businessman, Li Lin continued to return to Moen City with Irena.

"Information about the demihuman group..."

Although hybrids and demi-humans are not the same race, their appearance is somewhat similar, and they also live together on the Weeping Peninsula, so you may see useful information.

Since Irena is blind, Li Lin quickly read the paper document alone.

Unfortunately, this document only states that "defeating the leader of the demi-human group will demoralize the other demi-humans and reduce their combat effectiveness."

After relaying this information to the girl, she lowered her head regretfully.

After meeting the businessman, Li Lin didn't go far with Irena when he saw a convoy that was completely wiped out.

The corpses next to the motorcade were all dressed in the style of Greg's soldiers, and the corpses looked extremely miserable. Judging from Li Lin's experience, these corpses were beaten after death to form such disgusting scenes of bloody flesh.
In addition to the corpses of these human soldiers, Li Lin also saw the corpse of a hybrid.

The corpse of the hybrid was intact, with a scaly body, a medium-length tail, and degenerated wings, making it ugly.

In the hand of the hybrid corpse, there was a blood-stained hatchet.

Walking to the corpse, Li Lin could actually feel the strong hatred on the hatchet.

He bent down and picked up the hatchet held by the hybrid corpse.

The material of this hatchet is ordinary, and its blade is on the verge of breaking due to excessive use.

But such a weapon of ordinary material is actually filled with some kind of astonishing hatred and resentment like vengeance.

Lowering his head and carefully observing the hybrid's body, Li Lin discovered that his body was covered with traces of abuse.

……

There was probably something wrong with his guess.

This rebellion, at least, would not be entirely due to some kind of conspiracy.
