"she……"

"Isn't it really a fading person?"

Hearing his general say this, the deputy general couldn't help but exclaim.

"have no idea."

"What do you think?"

The Big Tree Guard did not comment, nor did he say yes or no, but just asked a question.

"Well..."

"I don't think it's a bit like it!"

The deputy general shook his head and then continued:

"We have seen many faded people over the years."

"Although they do have blessings on them and can absorb Luen to become stronger, their anger is still too heavy and their minds may not be normal. They are not much better than those guys in the city at all!"

"If people like them become the new king, I don't know what the world will become."

As he spoke, the deputy general sighed, and his eyes could not help but be covered with a layer of haze.

Their world has become worse and worse since the Elden Ring of Far and the Eternal Queen Marika disappeared. It is not just that they lose their blessings and the emergence of dead men on the earth, but also all kinds of changes. Even the pawns fighting outside have already felt it.

But there is no way...

Gu Qian

They can't change anything, nor do they have enough strength to change!

After all, the blessings of these people have been taken away by the supreme will. In a sense, they have been "exiled" and are now just surviving. On the contrary, the fading people struggling on the edge of the world have received the power to change the status quo. It is ridiculous and sad, but it is helpless.

“…”

Hearing his deputy general's words, the big tree guard didn't say anything, but his head wearing a golden helmet hanged slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"cough!"

"General, how great would it be if there were gods or descendants of nobles who were as pure as the little guy just now, who were not polluted and cursed, who could be king?"

"I haven't seen that pure smile in many years."

“How long has it been since the destruction of the Elden Ring of Far, the world and everyone has been cursed?”

"Um……"

"I saw things that others didn't have on her, whether they were gods or demigods, or those faded..."

“That was a very strange feeling…”

As he spoke, the deputy general suddenly felt emotion, and accidentally told him some real idea that he had been expecting for many years.

"Things aren't there?"

“What is it?”

The big tree guard paused, then raised his head, turned his head to look at his subordinate, and asked with the look hidden behind the helmet.

"Hope for the future..."

“Abundant vitality…”

"besides……"

"The temperament that a true 'king' should have?"

By the way, the deputy general told him the conclusion he had thought of all night.

Especially hope and vitality, in his opinion, this is what he has pursued for the lack of over the years. Now, whether it is the gods, nobles, or faded people, more of them are always just tyranny and ambitions, they are always just for themselves, and no one wants to truly consider this world and countless creatures.

“??”

"Do you know what the temperament of the 'king' is?"

"Oh!"

"Have you ever seen the 'king'?"

The guard of the big tree was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise.

Unlike the deputy general who was talking in front of him, the guard of the big tree said that he was the only knight in this camp who had seen the King of Eldon. Although it was a distant thing that countless years ago, he had indeed seen it, and it was still at the root of the sacred tree?

He still remembers that scene deeply!

It's a pity...

Since when their king has betrayed them, betrayed the world, betrayed all living beings, and is pushing the world into an abyss that will never be restored.

"Of course I haven't seen it!"

"but……"

"General, do you know?"

"When she saw me and called me uncle, that feeling was so good..."

"I just feel that since the problem with the sacred tree appeared, the dark cloud suppressed in my heart disappeared in an instant."

“That’s like…”

"It seems like I've been blessed again..."

As he spoke, the deputy general's eyes became blurred and he murmured in a low voice that he didn't know what it meant.

"Yeah?"

"You don't miss your daughter again, right?"

“Speaking of it…”

"We haven't been back in many years?"

The guard of the big tree did not comment on his deputy general's reaction, but only pondered for a while before suddenly asking in a deep voice.

"daughter?"

"Of course I want to!"

"only……"

He had just spoken, but he thought of the changes in Stoneville City, the suffering and curse suffered by the people in the city, and the changes in the world after the shattering of the Ring of Eldon, finally stopped that conversation and became silent.

He didn't dare to think about it because he hadn't received the message from his home for a long time, and over the years, they had been living in a daze. This cursed world almost almost completely destroyed his humanity.

Therefore, he dared not imagine what Stoneville City would look like now, nor did he dare to imagine. After all, they did not have any ability to change, they were just forgotten little people.

"Anyway!"

"If she was a descendant of a god or a nobleman and was willing to be king, I think I would definitely support her, right?"

"At least……"

"A king like that is worth our life to protect it?"

After a long time, the deputy general continued to speak and sighed with a tragic smile.

“As for those fading…”

"What else would they do besides colluding with those rebels, fighting, killing, and destroying them everywhere, trying to collect Luen to satisfy their selfish desires?"

After sighing, the Blackbearded Deputy General couldn't help but gritted his teeth and started to sarcasm again.

This is an era of bad luck. Compared with fading people, the gods and nobles are indeed bad enough. However, even if the fading people are not as bad as those gods, that is not the reason why these soldiers choose to support the fading people!

If there is no better choice, perhaps they would rather continue to support the bad nobles and gods, and then continue to barely maintain this damn, cursed world until it can no longer hold on to the day when it completely collapses?

“…”

The guard of the big tree didn't say anything anymore, and didn't know what he was thinking

"ha!"

"General, don't take it seriously. She is still so young. Although she seems to have some magical power, she is still too small."

“What a pity…”

Then, the deputy general shook his head and began to comfort him, and he no longer made such sentimental statements.

“How many people are there in our camp?”

“I mean…”

"No cursed tortured by madness."

At this time, the guard of the big tree suddenly asked.

“Um…”

"I'm afraid it's less than three hundred..."

"Maybe there are two hundred, seventy or eighty like this?"
