Time travel at the same time: Is the golden finger actually me?

It’s another night at the junction.

After explaining the joke about Niuzi to the half-wolf Blaze, the dark warrior set off on the road with Rock and others.

Several people want to go to the south of Lake Yakir together, because the Hound Knight is there.

Blaze wants to kill the Hound Knight, and Rock and others also want to get the Hound Knight's weapon - the Hound Tusk.

Everyone hit it off and hit the road together.

It just so happened that Rock's current main weapon was worn out, and he started to use the ordinary King's Army straight sword again, which was much smaller than his previous big sword. It was time to change the weapon.

A bonfire burned in the middle at night, and several people chatted quietly around the bonfire.

"Blaze, why are you hunting the Hound Knight?" Kirito wanted to find out about the relationship between the NPCs in the game.

This is the first time he has come into contact with the branch line. In the past, he only knew how to kill and kill, and then explode the equipment.

And Kirito could only learn the tip of the iceberg of the history of the border area through the introduction of equipment or weapons.

For example, his "Straight Sword of the King's Army" reads: "A straight sword held by regular soldiers of the King's Army. A high-quality weapon with meticulous design."

"However, after long-term use, the quality has deteriorated and the surface has turned black. It seems to have traces of maintenance - but it stands to reason that the soldier has long lost his mind."

It almost clearly says that the soldiers at the junction have lost their minds.

As crazy as Junction is, it's still chilling to know that most people are losing their minds.

Kirito couldn't believe how lonely he would feel if he were a solo player.

Even Klein and Kirito felt that the other had a self-destructive mentality after his friend's death.

Who would not resist when a monster pounces on them, but throw their best weapon to their teammates...

"Why do you want to kill Dariwell? Because that guy is a traitor..." Blaze's body is quite tall, and coupled with his magnetic deep voice, it always makes people feel reliable in spite of themselves.

But the werewolf's head will also make people subconsciously respect him more.

Blaze spoke slowly, with a chilly voice, as if he was suppressing the warmth of a campfire: "And what I hate most is betrayal and irrational madness."

His words were concise and concise, and he seemed unwilling to reveal more.

"But speaking of sanity... you have great potential, and you can actually rely on each other to fight here." Blaze looked at Klein and Rock.

In a place like the Junction, which is full of lunatics, you can still see some warriors supporting each other, which makes Blaze feel a little emotional.

"And the fighting method is also very unique." Blaze looked at Rock, "Especially Yin."

"I'm still very weak..." Rock shook his head.

He has a clear understanding of his own strength.

The half-wolf Blaze is also one of the best players in the game background. According to the pyramid logic, the higher he gets, the stronger he gets. Blaze's current strength is estimated to be terrifying.

The opponent was able to freeze two huge Xiong Xinwang at a glance, without even pulling out the giant sword behind his back...

"No, I'm not joking..." Blaze looked very serious: "Your combat skills are very well integrated, and faders of your level are rare."

"If I give you a little time, maybe you can quickly make a name for yourself in the border area."

"It's like everyone calls me half-wolf."

"Name? Every NPC... uh, I mean, strong people like you, will leave their own names?" Kirito asked cautiously.

"Most of them will..." Blaze fell into memories: "Before the Shattered War begins, the warriors from the junction will go to three arenas to show their strength."

"These three arenas are located in Nimgofu, Galid and the royal city of Rodel."

"It's just...after the Shattered War, very few people went to the arena."

"Why?" Kirito was a little curious.

Blaze glanced at Kirito and didn't know how to answer.

We also have to ask why?

Of course, it's because it's easier to build a reputation in war than in the arena, not to mention that the people in the border area are so crazy that they died because of the Broken War. How can there be so many people running to the arena...

Seeing that Blaze didn't answer, Kirito immediately asked for information: "Then why did the Shattered War start?"

Blaze was silent again.

If we were to trace the origins of the Shattered War, it would start with the Night of the Black Knife.

In the Night of the Black Knife, the Golden Prince Godwin, the powerful and handsome first-in-line successor to King Elden, died.

I heard that Godwin's charisma even conquered the dragon clan.

But it's all meaningless because he's dead.

After his death, Malika, the goddess of the Junction, shattered the Circle of Eldon, and the Shattered War began.

But Blazer also knew that someone else died during the Night of the Black Knives.

That is the master he serves, the witch Lani.

The Golden Prince died spiritually, and his body became a breeding ground for the dead.

Lani, on the other hand, died physically and placed her spirit on the doll.

It was difficult for Blaze to answer this question when it came to the secret of his master Lani.

"Go to sleep first, I talked a little too much today..." Blaze stood up and left the bonfire.

It seems like you didn’t say anything else except a few words of praise for Roark, right?

Kirito sighed helplessly, his plan to detect intelligence seemed to have come to nothing.

…

With Blaze opening the way, Rock and others' progress was much faster. They followed the fog forest south and crossed the mountains to the west, and they could see the south of Yakir Lake.

Rock and others made a complete circle and returned to Yakil Lake from another direction.

Walking further north along Lake Yakir, you will reach the Beginning of Guidance and Airey Church.

Under the hound prison on the south side of Lake Yakir, Rock even saw some players wandering around here.

There are even many players gathering at the blessing point "South of Lake Yakir".

And on the hillside behind the blessing point is the prison of the Hound Knight.

Obviously, this is a group of closed beta players who all want to get excellent weapons that are suitable for the early stage as soon as possible.

"It turns out he is really in a prison... No wonder I haven't been able to find him..." Blaze stood on the hillside and looked at the prison in the distance with emotion.

"I really need your help this time. If I go alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Dariwell to show up." Blaze said cautiously: "You go in first and lure Dariwell out. Once you get inside, , and then use the golden words of advice to summon me to appear."

"No problem." Rock nodded.

He was very familiar with this process. After entering, he let Blaze do it and it was done.

Blaze can defeat the hound knight Darriwell by himself, and he can enjoy the pure novice benefits by taking the branch route honestly.

After discussing with Blaze, Blaze decided to stand here and wait for Rock's call.

Rock and Kirito first went to light the blessing on the south side of Lake Aquil.

At this time, a girl with chestnut hair wearing a robe and a green beard like a mouse on her face suddenly greeted Kirito: "Kirito, here! Here!"

Argo, a girl who is severely addicted to the Internet, sells information in major games to maintain her home life. When she was in the closed beta of Elden's Circle, she didn't know how to get in touch with various closed beta masters. .

He has been serving as an information dealer among players.

"Are you also going to challenge the Hound Knight Dariwell?" Argo was a little troubled.

"Can't we fight?" Klein asked curiously. "Or is this place booked by a certain guild?"

Klein used to be a guild leader, and he often encountered this kind of thing. Some powerful guilds occupied territory to prevent others from fighting monsters.

Because the resources on the map are limited, the more you take, the more you get.

Klein almost assumed this preconceived idea.

"Of course not, of course not." Argo waved his hand hurriedly, "Although this place is indeed blocked, it is not for the reason you think..."

"The largest player guild currently organized voluntarily by the player group is the [Army], which has the largest number of people. In addition, it is the [Strategy Group] with the goal of becoming a king..."

"Both these two guilds have blocked all the prisons discovered so far. Do you know why?" Argo whispered.

"Exclusive resources?" Asuna guessed as maliciously as possible.

"Not."

Argo shook his head: "Actually, it's to stop powerful solo players."

"Isn't it to get solo players to join their guild?" Kirito was a little surprised.

"It's not..." Argo shook his head again and whispered: "Kirito, you should know...that's it, there is more than one server in the Elden Ring..."

"Well... I know, and to be honest, we have already verified this in our hearts." Kirito felt a little heavy in his heart.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it..." Argo sighed: "Not long ago, the two major guilds made major discoveries."

"One of them discovered a building located in the north of Nimgofu, north of the ruined house of the warriors. That building is the Nimgofu Arena, and its function is-"

"Let players from different servers fight against players...right?" Rock frowned.

Argo nodded.

It's like raising gu, allowing the hundreds of thousands of players who entered the game on the first day to spread out, develop individually, and then let each other duel.

It's not unusual for players to explore the arena, but Rock.

While Rock and the others are exploring the fog forest to the east, there will definitely be other players exploring to the north.

Maybe there will be a few unlucky players who are accidentally teleported by Nimgofu's trap treasure chest to Galid, which is full of scarlet corruption.

This is also something that can be imagined.

"So, the two major unions want to retain players with good personal abilities, in case they really have to fight against other players in the future... We don't have anyone here who can fight, right?" Rock asked.

Argo nodded again: "The prison is currently quite special. Only one player is allowed to enter at a time, and the BOSS in the prison is really terrifying. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, the guild leaves people here to advise lone players. .”

"Now a total of two prisons have been discovered, one of which is the Crucible Knight, and this one is the Hound Knight... To be honest, neither of them are capable of being handled by current players-"

"Alas!" Before Argo could finish his words, he discovered that Rock and his party were already walking towards the prison of the Hound Knight on the hill.

…

On the only way outside the Hound Knight prison.

Kibaou and his friends were sitting here peacefully.

He joined the army some time ago and was assigned to work here.

‘It’s good here, there are no monsters, it’s one of the rare safe places in Ningmu Gefu. ’ Kibaou is very satisfied with his work.

There is no need to conflict with others, just try to persuade others not to go in. If the other party really wants to go in, Kibaou will not bother to stop others and die.

While he was distracted, four more people came to him.

"Wait, don't pass—" Kibaou's friend dutifully stopped Rock.

The shadow of four people covered Kibaou, causing him to look up subconsciously.

Then he saw Rock and Klein.

‘Isn’t this the internal beta brother and the knife-strengthening brother? ’ Kibaou smiled and wanted to stand up and use his greatest power to create obstacles for the other party.

But then he thought about it, he couldn't beat the opponent with such good equipment.

So he sat down again.

He said to his friend: "Ahem...this is an acquaintance of mine. He is so strong that I can't say anything. Have you seen that knife-fighter? Strengthen plus three!"

Kibaou didn't know whether Rock was strong or not, but he knew that a lot of people had died in the prison.

That Hound Knight is really fierce.

"This..." His friend hesitated.

He has never seen anyone who went to prison come back alive, so it's not a good idea to persuade others to die.

He glanced at Klein's knife, and then at Asuna...and Rock among the four, he was very hesitant.

"Why are you so ignorant!" Kibaou stepped over him.

He immediately walked up to Rock and said, "Brother, you may not remember me, but it doesn't matter. I, King Ya, will repay my kindness!"

"You gave me a corner back then, and I'll give you a prison now! Go ahead with confidence! No one here will stop you. I wish you good luck in martial arts!" Kibaou said solemnly.

"You're quite nice..." Klein scratched his head and looked at him.

"However, you may not be aware! Only one person can enter the prison..." Kibaou pretended to hesitate.

"It's okay, I'm enough."

Rock nodded and stepped into the hound prison. A purple light instantly enveloped him.

Hiss...you are so decisive.

Kibaou saw that Rock didn't even hesitate. He turned to look at Rock's teammates. They were actually not in a hurry either.

Kibaou smiled when he saw how many of them looked like newborn calves not afraid of tigers.

What he said, the better your equipment, the more you dare to fight monsters, and the more dare you fight monsters, the easier it is to die.

Now these people can no longer distinguish between the big and small kings.

The blood on the ground was already a decoration in their eyes.

"Don't stare so hard, he's dead and can't come back!"

Kibaou pretended to be regretful and shook his head, "It's a pity that another master of internal testing fell in front of me——"

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple light flashed out of the prison.

Rock came out of the prison carrying the hound Longtusk.

"Let's go, we got it." Rock said calmly to the three Kiritos.

Kibaou on the side looked at the strange-looking weapon in front of him, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

How can it be?

Actually... came back again?
