Chapter 41: Salivan, You've Done All the Bad Things
[Dark Souls III] @[Elden Circle]: Do you think it is possible to turn Bordo into soul ash?
[Elden Ring]: It works in theory, but not in practice, because I don’t know how soul ashes are made.
[Dark Souls III]: …
[Dark Souls III]: (swear words)
[Elden Circle]: I will ask Teacher Serlian when I meet her. Soul ashes should be a kind of soul magic. Although she is a block witch, she should be able to figure it out by analogy.
[Dark Souls III]: Then go quickly, I'm still waiting to become a Pokémon Master!
[Elden Ring]: ...It's easy for you to say that. I'm still learning Bernal's fighting skills. As for you, after you deal with Bordo, go to the Undead Settlement to find a spell teacher.
[Dark Souls III]: I’ll definitely do that next time.
Xia Yu of Ashes sounded like a freeloader, and after communicating with Xia Yu of Faded, he put Bordo's body into the red envelope.
Bordo's deformed soul was preserved in his body. As long as this soul was not crushed into pure soul energy, Bordo's soul would not disappear.
"It's just that this weapon is a bit difficult to deal with."
Looking at the Bordo hammer that was at least five meters high on the ground, Xia Yu had a headache. In the game, this weapon could only be made with Bordo's soul. It was not needed in reality, but he couldn't use it!
Bordeaux's hammer is a very useful weapon in the early stage. It can be obtained early, has a high basic attack power, and a corrected strength of A. Because the combat skill is endurance, you only need to activate the combat skill later to stand and take down everything!
It is really the best choice for the brainless and reckless man in the early stage.
Xia Yu tried to pick up the giant hammer with both hands. With his current strength, although he couldn't wield the hammer as easily as with his own arm, he could still swing it.
That's right, this weapon is really too big. The hammer head is bigger than his current body. Although it's not unusable, who would just hold on to a pillar and swing it in a fight?
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yu still couldn't bear to give up the useful Ice Dog Hammer. Even though he couldn't use it now, as long as his thinking did not slip, there were always more solutions than problems!
Go back and find Andre the blacksmith directly to see if he can recast the weapon to normal human size.
While thinking about it, Xia Yu also put away the huge ice dog hammer in front of him.
Then he set out on the road to the High Priest Hall of Lothric, which was at the end of the City Gate Avenue. Only through the High Priest Hall could one enter the city of Lothric.
However, now is not the time to enter the city , but if you want to go to the Undead Settlement, you need to go to the main priest hall to obtain an item.
The zombies wandering around the avenue have not been resurrected yet. Even for the zombies that have been cursed with undeadness, it takes time to resurrect.
The Avenue of the Royal City is neither big nor small. There are surrounding stairs on all four sides, leading to the high walls of the Royal City. With Xia Yu's strength, it took him almost ten minutes to reach his destination.
The door of the main priest hall was only ajar and not locked. Xia Yu did not hesitate too much. He pushed open the door that looked like a giant's residence and stepped in.
The scene in the hall is similar to that in a Western church, with a royal flag with a red background and a dragon pattern hanging on it. Lothric has been on good terms with dragons since ancient times, and the powerful knights would even fight against dragons and become dragon knights.
But that was only the glorious past. Today, the main hall is dilapidated and smells of decay. The sunlight from the window shines in through the stained glass, leaving behind spots of color.
An old woman wearing a loose priest's dress sat quietly on a chair at the end of the hall, looking at Xia Yu who came in. After Xia Yu approached, she spoke slowly.
"I have waited for a long time, fireless ashes. My name is Emma, and I am the chief priest of this city - Lothric."
In the civilization of Lothric, in addition to the most powerful royal family, there are three superficial forces: knights, representing the military foundation; rituals , representing the ritual and music foundation; and sages, representing the knowledge foundation.
As the flames died down, the world collapsed, and civil unrest ensued in Lothric City, the royal family retreated into the palace and no longer showed up. No one knew what the royal family was doing.
For the sake of glory, faith, and to awaken the royal family, the knights chose to commit suicide at the city gate. To protect themselves, the sages hid in the great library and sealed the door of the great library, making it impossible for anyone to enter.
In such a background, even the high priests, one of the three pillars, were powerless to reverse the situation and could only let themselves go with the flow. High priest Emma was one of them, and she was imprisoned here by Salivan to prevent any accidents.
As for why it was imprisonment, Xia Yu looked up at the top of the hall. Although he didn't see anything, he knew that the seemingly deserted place actually hid the dancer who was one of the five great knights of Saliman.
Sullivan arranged the dancers to guard here to prevent High Priest Emma from ruining his plans. He firmly believed that destruction precedes reconstruction, and that only when the decadent Age of Fire came to an end could the next new era come.
In the world of Soul III, most of the story developments are related to Salivan. He is a hero of this era who has both strength and strategy. He has never made any mistakes, but he missed one thing, which is the last insurance of the gods, the fireless ashes.
In the game, Salivan was killed by Ashes who came to look for the Lord of Cinder. His plots and all his calculations were defeated by Ashes' small round shield.
…
"Is there a problem? Just ashes without fire." High Priest Emma asked, looking at the ashes in deep thought in front of her.
"Nothing." Xia Yu shook his head. He couldn't beat the dancer right now, so he stopped thinking about it for now.
The dancer was ordered to guard the officiant Emma, and she would not show up as long as nothing happened to officiant Emma.
In the game, as long as the player kills the high priest Emma, the dancer will appear and become the second BOSS. This is why many players say that the dancer is the second BOSS.
High Priest Emma suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck, as if someone was looking at her head. She looked around warily, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only sense Ashes in front of her who was smiling kindly.
Perhaps it was because he had been imprisoned for too long that he had this illusion.
High Priest Emma shook her head and suppressed the sudden feeling. She casually took out a small flag and a piece of parchment with a pledge pattern from her arms, handed them to Xia Yu and spoke.
"The Lords of Fire have left this city, and they have all set out for their former homeland. You should go to the bottom of the high wall and find the Lord of Fire. This small ring of flags will lead you through the great city gate."
"I give you this as a farewell gift. This is the pattern of the ancient oath. If you are worried about the intruders, that is, the dark spirits who rob the remaining fire, then you must remember that you must use the ancient oath to summon the guardian of Qing to hunt the dark spirits."
Although High Priest Emma's words were a bit flowery, Xia Yu still understood them. It was about the flag for fighting ghosts and the oath for summoning helpers. But speaking of dark spirits, he seemed to have never encountered one yet.
After taking the small ring flag and the oath parchment, Xia Yu glanced at the ladder behind High Priest Emma, but still resisted the urge to commit suicide.
After saying goodbye to High Priest Emma, Xia Yu left the high priest hall and walked towards the cliff at the city gate.
The situation of Lothric Royal City at this time can be said to be completely isolated and helpless, surrounded by cliffs on all sides. Yes, it was done by Salivan.
Salivan, you have done so many bad things. When Bordo turns into soul ashes, he will definitely beat you up.
