Chapter 1 Summer is here, and it’s the season of spreading fire again

[The fire has gradually extinguished, but the king is nowhere to be seen, and the ashes of the fire will come one after another]

North of Loen Kingdom, Winter County.

Another full moon.

A gothic black church with a steeple towered above the snow-capped peaks. The blood-red moonlight slantedly illuminated the cold sarcophagi in the cemetery behind the church.

The sarcophagus was not sealed with earth and was just exposed to the air.

In the center of the cemetery is a bonfire made of corpses.

The blood-red full moon unbridledly illuminated everything on the earth, and also illuminated a half-covered sarcophagus in the cemetery.

Suddenly, the lid of the sarcophagus was slightly moved.

"Snapped!"

A hand wearing a gauntlet broke out of the coffin.

The gauntlet has been damaged and deformed by the long-term burning of the first fire, and red sparks are faintly flowing from it.

The undead embers that spent long years in the darkness finally awakened again in their sleeping sarcophagi.

He looked around blankly, with deep tiredness and confusion in his eyes.

"Is it the season of spreading fire again?"

"but……"

He looked up at the sky. The blood moon emitting scarlet light above his head made him feel inexplicably strange. He murmured in a low voice, "Why the red moon? New story background? Dark Souls 4? Or Yharnan?"

"Forget it, these are not important."

He shook his head and his eyes slowly fell on the bonfire made of corpses in front of him.

Anyway, let’s start the bonfire first.

"Snapped!"

The embers left the sarcophagus where he had been sleeping for thousands of years, leaving distinct footprints on the snow-covered ground.

Finally, he arrived in front of the bonfire successfully.

There are no gravekeepers, no hungry hounds, and no crystal lizards.

Everything went so smoothly, so smoothly that Yi Yan was somewhat doubtful about life, and his eyes were full of confusion.

But no matter what, he still took out his spiral sword——

It was a spiral sword with obvious traces of sparks cast on the blade, and it was not cooled by ice or snow at all.

Later.

He stuck it on the bonfire.

"Wow!"

A weak flame rose from the bones, making a small crackling sound.

"Lighted up?"

Ember muttered to himself, "So it's really a campfire, and this is a turkey farm? Right in the cemetery? Where's my fire girl?"

Ember thought, preparing to look around for traces of the fire prevention girl.

He raised his head and found that a figure had appeared in front of him.

The figure was wearing a simple linen robe with patchwork marks, and a belt that looked like twisted bark was tied around his waist.

Her long black hair was hanging down wantonly, and her feet were not wearing shoes and socks, and were covered with dust and scars.

There is no doubt that this is a lady.

"Are you my fireproof girl?"

Yan Yan stepped forward and asked calmly.

He was waiting for the fire prevention girl to give him guidance and for her to explain her background.

Only then can he know where to look for firewood.

"no."

The lady seemed to have expected his question and whispered, "My name is Arianna, Servant of the Secret."

"So, where is my fire girl?"

Yi Yan frowned and looked at the NPC in front of him and asked.

The other party was not a fire-proof woman, but she did not express any doubt about the term fire-proof woman, indicating that she should know the clue.

She is probably this generation’s discouraged brother… discouraged sister?

"have no idea."

Arianna shook her head slightly and said neither too fast nor too slowly, "I am only responsible for giving you certain guidance, Lord Ember."

"Know about the embers, but don't know where the fire girl is?"

Yi Yan is a little confused, what is this?

Dark Souls 4’s new setting?

"What guidance?"

Yan Yan quickly adjusted his mentality and asked.

"Backlund."

Arianna tapped her chest four times clockwise and whispered reverently, "The first Salary King you are looking for is there."

"understood."

Yi Yan nodded clearly, since he knew where King Xin was, everything would be easier to do.

"So, where is Backlund?"

"The capital of the Loen Kingdom."

"The Kingdom of Loen?"

Ember murmured the name of this unfamiliar country in confusion, and hesitated, "This is Rodran? Where is Anor Londo?"

"I've never heard of this place."

Arianna thought for a moment and shook her head slightly.

"never heard of that?"

Yi Yan frowned and asked, "Then where is this place?"

"Northern Loen Kingdom, Winter County."

Arianna lowered her eyebrows slightly.

"Then how should I get to Backlund?"

Ember nodded, then asked again.

He had just asked the question when he saw the lady in front of him extending her hand.

"Bang!"

Yu Yan subconsciously stretched out his left hand to flick away the lady's outstretched hand, and an ice-blue Ilusil straight sword appeared in his right hand.

But seeing that the opponent didn't seem to be frozen, he didn't make the next move, but was preparing to wait for the opponent to attack before rebounding again——

Until further weakening caused her to become completely stiff.

"I have no ill intentions."

Arianna, whose palm was thrown away, did not take any further action. She just tapped her chest four times clockwise again and whispered, "This is just a method of transmission."

"Teleport?"

There was a trace of understanding in Yi Yan's blank eyes.

The campfire contains the power of the first fire, and although the 'wildfire' is a poor imitation of the campfire, it is also tainted with a hint of the first fire.

Therefore, he can use the power of the First Fire to move quickly between campfires——

The premise is that the bonfire has been lit by the power of the first fire.

But right now, with only one initial campfire, he obviously cannot teleport.

If it can be teleported to Backlund quickly, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time.

Since the discouraged lady in front of me can talk and shows no signs of turning into a living corpse, she should be trustworthy... right?

"Feel sorry."

Yi Yan sincerely apologized to Sister Fengxin, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal her to continue.
To be continued...
