It is unimaginable that the short blacksmith in front of him, covered with tumors and weird horns, actually fought against the first King of Elden, Godfrey!

Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance.

After Xiugu took over the ancient dragon rock forging stone, he started working.

Marika seemed to dislike the temperature of the forging furnace and the smell of rust that filled the air, so she turned and returned to the hall.

Luye asked how long it would take to forge the so-called god-killing weapon, and Xiugu's answer was somewhat unexpected.

The essence of forging god-killing weapons does not lie in the exquisite craftsmanship, but in the destined death itself.

Only with this kind of power can one be qualified to kill gods.

So to be precise, repairing the ancients is not about forging weapons, but about integrating the destiny of death into the Immortal Sword and Tears of Worship, just like how Queen Xiaose integrated the destiny of death into the great sword of the hunting god.

While Xiu Gu was working, Ah Di chatted with Roderica, the little red riding hood, and strengthened the ashes with the collected Graveyard Spirit Suzuran.

Roderica obviously cares about Marika.

Is the legendary Eternal Queen really still alive?

The shock this brought to her was no different than cutting off her own head and going to Stonewell City to have her limbs reattached...

Ah Tui waved his hand and said that strictly speaking Marika is not alive, but can freely control her soul. She is currently reappearing with the help of the ashes of bionic teardrops. In layman's terms, it is "resurrection through corpse".

Lu Yexin promised to resurrect the soul through a corpse, but...this statement is really okay!

While A'Die and Roderica were chatting, Lu Ye also came to the hall.

At this time Marika was standing in front of the hall, looking at the mottled ancient oil paintings on the left and right sides of the wall.

The oil painting on the left shows a strong man with white hair and a crown, but his face cannot be seen clearly.

In the oil painting on the right, there is a blond woman with a graceful and graceful figure.

There is no doubt that this is the first King Godfrey and Queen Marika.

For Lu Ye, once the army in the royal city is contained, the only people standing in his way will be the King of Omens, Menggert, and the King of the First, who doesn't know when he will arrive.

Lu Ye had some idea of ​​the strength of these two people.

During the Shattered War, Menggot came out of the dungeon and led the army in the royal city to resist the demigod coalition and protect the royal city.

Not to mention Godfrey. As the first king, he was undoubtedly the most powerful in the border area at that time. He led the army to exterminate the giants and conquered all directions, laying an absolute foundation for the Golden Law to rule the border area.

Of course, there is inevitably a blessing in this.

Now that the golden tree is declining and its blessings are extremely weak, we wonder how powerful this first king is still.

Lu Ye wants to get information about Mengt and Godfrey from Marika.

Such as their weaknesses and so on...

If there is anyone in the world who knows this, it must be Marika.

Lu Ye expressed his thoughts.

As Godfrey's partner and King Omen's mother, Malika should be the one who knows them best.

However, Marika could only disappoint Lu Ye. She looked at the mural and remained silent for a long time.

"No way?" Lu Ye said.

"It's not impossible, it's just that there is no way." Marika said softly, "When you love someone, you will set your sights on him, just like the way the faded man looked at you... But I am not, from a certain

In a way, I am just as unfamiliar with the First King and Menggot as you are."

Lu Ye was silent for a moment.

He remembered what Mallika had said earlier.

Originally, she was originally interested in the golden tree and golden law that could bring prosperity to the border area, so she willingly became the queen...or the container that carries the ring.

She may be friendly to her children and in harmony with the first king.

But there is no love in her heart.

Everything is just for this land, nothing more.

My partner chose Godfrey with two fingers because he was powerful enough to expand and maintain the Golden Law. Marika did not refuse.

The purpose of raising offspring was to maintain the rule of the Golden Clan's bloodline, and Marika did not refuse.

Offspring and partners are just tools to maintain the rule of the Golden Law.

For a moment, Lu Ye wondered if there was something wrong with this woman's head.

Is it really worth it for the so-called abundance?

But it is undeniable that the Golden Law did have a glorious era.

——Until Marika discovered the truth about the Golden Tree.

I remember when I left the Moonlight Altar and said goodbye to Di Xi and her daughter, Aletto, who was supported by his daughter, asked Luye if he had seen Marika.

After receiving a positive reply, Arleto said with a wry smile: "What a silly woman."

Looking back now, Arleto was referring to Marika.

She resolutely gave up her status as a rare person for the sake of the border, abandoned her faith and became the eternal queen.

She resolutely abandoned her identity as queen for the sake of the border, and smashed the Elden Ring.

In short, Lu Ye feels that this battle must be won realistically.

But in that case, we must first find a way to cut off the connection between the golden tree and the supreme will. What should we do?

Icarus can participate in the battle, but the huge meteorites in the sky can intercept her strongest firepower-Apollo at any time.

Moreover, if Apollo falls directly into the Royal City without taking any protective measures, the Royal City of Rodel will instantly turn into ruins.

Outside the city will also be affected, it can be said that it is an indiscriminate attack...

Even if you want to recruit more people for a group fight, it still depends on whether the army in the royal city will agree.

Back then, the demigods' joint attack on the royal city failed. Now that a few demigods are dead, the delaying effect is already very good.

"However... although I don't know about the First King, I can tell you some things." Marika said, "Back then, I exiled the Faded Ones and made them fight, live, and die outside the border area.

, this is not my decision alone, there is also the participation of King Chu, in other words, he is the one who knows about the 'exile' and promotes its development without any hindrance."

"Wait, what are you talking about? Ge Fulei...why did you agree to be exiled?" Lu Ye was confused.

"I also asked about this reason." Marika said, "At that time, I was still looking for a reason and opportunity to banish him, but he took the initiative to agree, which made me very puzzled. And the answer of the first king

, that is, taking off the crown from your head.”

"I immediately understood his intention. Before becoming the king, the First King was a wild warrior, and he developed a lot of strength through years of fighting. After I became the container of Elden's Ring

Soon, Two Fingers found him and became the King of Elden, that is, my partner." Marika stared at Godfrey's oil painting and said, "Just like Two Fingers didn't trust me, it made my identity unknown.

Like Da Gang, King Chu was also under surveillance."

"Surveillance...Does he also have a beast?"

Lu Ye thought of the usual two-finger technique.

Because the number of the two fingers itself was limited, and it was difficult for the Supreme Will to directly affect the junction at that time, surveillance was used to control everything.

"Exactly." Marika nodded, "'Prime Minister' Selosiu, a huge lion beast, two fingers placed it next to the first king in the name of assistant, suppressing the first king's wildness and fighting spirit, allowing him to

He became rational and protected the Golden Law. However, his long-term depression prevented him from being released. Originally, he agreed to become the King of Elden just so that the Golden Law could rule the border area in the future and bring countless people to come.

War. When the day comes, he doesn’t want to do it anymore.”

"So that's the case, so the exile just fulfills his wish," Luye said. "This way, he can continue fighting outside the border area."

"That's right. I made an agreement with him at that time. When he returns from hard work and fighting, I will replace the law. Without the constraints of the Supreme Will and the Golden Law, the border will return to freedom again... Yes, the bargaining chip I pressed down at the beginning

, not all the faded ones, but the most powerful king among them."

"So... Ah Tui is just a backup?" Lu Ye asked suspiciously.

"No, it's a replacement." Malika did not hide it, "In the Golden Tree, at the beginning of my soul being liberated, I discovered that the Faded One had already returned to the junction, and things were running reasonably according to my ideas.

It wasn't until some time later that I found no trace of King Chu."

Yes...now that the faded ones have returned.

So why did Godfrey, the former King of Elden, not come back?

"I understood at that time that the First King did not return, but chose to hide." Marika's tone was still calm, "He will still come to see Elden's Ring, but before that, he needs someone to come

Help him collect big runes and remove the thorns of the golden tree to protect itself, and more importantly, only those who can do all this can be called his opponents."

"It's not that I didn't foresee this. When the king proposed this condition, I understood that no matter what he looked like, whether he was a king or not, he was always a wild warrior in his heart, so I gave the soul-calling bell to him.

Lani entrusted Torette to Melina, and luckily...she found it."

Luye understood.

In fact, this is basically a game of chicken.

Whoever has the bigger fist will repair the magic ring and become the king.
To be continued...
