Chapter 1 The unknown businessman at the beginning of guidance

The junction, the beginning of guidance, above the cemetery of border heroes.

Fan Lei, wearing a white mask, stood beside the stone and stared at the strange man opposite.

The man wears full body armor and cannot see clearly what he looks like inside.

The only thing that is certain is that there is no golden light of blessing visible through the peephole of the armor.

There was no light in his eyes, and Fan Lei judged that this was a faded person.

There are no witches around the faded ones, and Fan Lei believes that this is the faded person that is suitable for their blood dynasty.

As the ace salesman of the Blood Dynasty, Fan Lei occupies the place where the Faded People have the most resources, luring those faded people who have not yet experienced the world to kill witches and join the Blood Dynasty to become Blood Fingers.

Fan Lei knew that it was most unreliable to let the faded people kill their own witches. Among the ten faded people, there would not be a single one that was that stupid, but they often had no burden to kill other people's witches.

And he needs such a bloody finger - someone who can cause hatred and stir up disputes.

It is naturally difficult to empathize with a faded person without a witch. A faded person with a witch is more likely to turn into a cold blood finger.

The disadvantage is that it is difficult for a fading person to become stronger without a witch, but as a trigger to stir up disputes, it does not need to be very strong.

Fan Lei judged that this was a talented person, but he did not take the initiative to step forward.

As a doctor who is familiar with people's hearts, Fan Lei knows that only by being passive can you show your style, and actively recruiting people will only reduce your value.

Fan Lei stood upright, looking at the Faded One with playful eyes and a mysterious mask.

He believed that for such a mysterious person like him, the other party would definitely come and talk to him.

Then Fan Lei watched helplessly as the Faded One prepared four roasted lamb legs, dozens of mutton skewers, a shield of braised pork, four roasted pig's trotters, four-fingered eagle legs...

I don’t know where the faded person got the perfume bottle. He sprinkled the spices on the meat for free. The aroma filled the guidance area and continued to bombard Fan Lei’s nasal cavity.

When the Faded One dragged a three-meter-high squid from the seaside, inserted the squid into a nearby half-moon cross, cut off one of the sprouts and made grilled squid legs, Fan Lei finally couldn't help it anymore.

He walked up to the faded person and pointed at the faded person:

"you……"

"Is something wrong?" The Faded One looked at Fan Lei.

His voice sounded a little muffled through the armor.

Fan Lei suddenly became discouraged and said:

“How much does the mutton kebab cost?”

"One hundred runes in a string," the Faded One replied.

Even if you can't see it through the helmet, you can still hear the man's unconcealed smile.

As an elite member of the Mongwen dynasty, Fan Lei has no shortage of runes and readily pays for them.

Pop it into your mouth along the slits of the mask. The perfect combination of juicy texture and meaty aroma fills your mouth. It's so delicious that Fan Lei almost forgets his business.

Through the relationship between the guests, Fan Lei chatted with the chef:

"Are you a fader?"

"What is a fader?" the armored man asked.

"Those who are not gifted are those who have faded." Fan Lei said.

"Oh, then I should be considered a fader." The armored man said.

"You don't seem to have a witch."

"What's a witch?"

"Those who help and guide the faded ones." Fan Lei said, "They can turn runes into your power to help you move forward."

"Oh, I'm familiar with this, I've had a witch before." The man in armor said.

"Before? That means not now?" Fan Lei chuckled, "Have you been killed?"

"We have different ideas and we parted ways." The armored man shrugged.

"It's hard not having a witch." Fan Lei said, "But you are lucky, you met me. My name is Fan Lei, I can give you guidance."

"You want to be my witch?" the armored man asked.

Fan Lei was a little suffocated by the faded person's brain circuit, and he was stunned for a while and said:

"Just giving you some advice."

"Oh, thank you." The man muttered.

Fan Lei felt inexplicably angry when he saw the man's lack of interest.

Fan Lei asked: "What's your name?"

"Forgot."

"What?"

"My name has long been forgotten." The man said, "You can call me Wuming."

"It really suits your status, unknown person." Fan Lei's words were thorny, "You won't even forget the goal of the faded one, right?"

"Target?"

"Rune, blessing, guidance, Elden's Ring." Fan Lei covered his white mask, "Those golden things."

The nameless faded person suddenly realized: "I told you earlier, I really long for golden things."

Fan Lei looked at Wu Ming.

It seems that it is not completely hopeless, and there is still some use value.

Fan Lei said: "You can still see those golden lights, which are the so-called blessing guidance. If you follow the guidance, you are walking on the right path."

The nameless little chicken nodded like a peck of rice: "It's clear."

Fan Lei nodded with satisfaction:

"Then let's go to Stonewell. If I want to bless you, just point there."

Fan Lei’s guidance contains evil intentions.

He has seen countless faded people believe in guidance and then be killed by powerful enemies.

Fan Lei knew that the guidance of blessing was indeed the right direction, but not necessarily the right time.

The blessing guided the faded ones to the territory of the demigod Grek, but did not give the faded ones a chance to grow and adapt.

Novices often cannot adapt to the cruelty of the border area and are caught off guard by sudden and powerful enemies.

The Faded One didn't even take his shield, he rushed down to the beginning of the guide with his long sword in hand, leaving behind a steaming barbecue on the ground.

"Haha, don't blame me, just let that old guy try your quality and see if you are qualified to serve the Mongwen Dynasty."

Fan Lei looked at the fading man's retreating back and chuckled softly.

Soon he turned his attention to the barbecue.

The faded man's fighting ability is unclear, but his cooking ability is indeed good.

"It's an advantage for me." Fan Lei picked up a roast leg of lamb and ate it.

"Good appetite, brother, a roasted lamb leg costs five thousand runes. Thank you for your patronage." A voice came from behind Fan Lei.

Then he saw Wuming coming back, holding a bunch of cracked pots in his hand.

Fan Lei felt like he saw a ghost:

"Didn't you go to Stonewell?"

"I'm going to the church down there." The ring finger pointed to a church not far away, "I went to a merchant to buy some pots. I have no place to put the meat."

“Shouldn’t we pursue blessings?”

"I'm seeking blessings." Wuming stretched out his hand towards Fan Lei, "Thank you for five thousand runes."

Fan Lei was already thinking about where to find a crack in Wuming's full-body armor.

With Bloodflies, get in through the peephole and turn his armor into a beehive.

Just as Fan Lei was about to take action, the creaking of the door opened interrupted his movements.

At the beginning of the guide, there is only one door here, which is the entrance to the Border Heroes Cemetery.

This is the magical place where faded ones grow out one after another.

Fan Lei quickly returned to where he was, showing off his mystery, waiting for the next fader who might have a bright future.

With hope in his eyes and expectation in his heart, Fan Lei looked towards the open door.

The unruly hairstyle, cold eyes, and muscular shirtless body show the true qualities of a macho man.
