After that, Duanmu Huai returned to the Divine Grant Tower again. This tall tower was sealed by a thick stone door. Of course, it was no difficulty for Duanmu Huai to push open the stone door, and when he went up the stairs,

When I came to the top of the tower again, a different scene appeared in front of me.

The two fingers were still buried in the central ring at the top of the tower, but this time, between the two fingers, Duanmu Huai saw a shining mark that was the same as the mark on the back of his hand.

He walked forward and stretched out his hand to touch the mark. Soon, he saw that the mark suddenly shattered and turned into a golden light that merged into the back of Duanmu Huai's hand.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai felt that his body was filled with a warm flow of heat, and then a line of system prompts appeared in front of his eyes again.

[Grek's Big Rune (Activated)]

[This big rune is called the Center of Gravity Ring, located in the center of the Elden Ring. The King of Elden, Godfrey, and his descendants, the Golden Clan, were the first demigods to appear (all attributes +5

)]

not bad.

Looking at the introduction of the system in front of him, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows. An artifact with +5 attributes is difficult to encounter even in the later games. I didn't expect that I would get such one directly? Having said that, such a powerful artifact

, the holder is actually such a weakling.

But...Greik...Godfrey...Godwin...

All the members of this family's family have the surname Ge.

I wonder if there is Ge You?

Thinking about indifferent questions in his mind, Duanmu Huai opened his property interface and took a look.

Other attributes don't matter, the only thing he cares about is...

[Charm: 1 (locked)] [Communication-3] [Fear Aura LV1]

Well, as expected, it still can’t be changed.

Except for [Charisma], which Duanmu Huai could not change, all other attributes have received bonuses. [Strength] has been increased from 21 points to 26 points, [Agility] has been increased from 4 to 9, and [Physique] has been increased from 18 points.

At 23. [Intelligence] has been increased from 18 to 23, and [Perception] has been increased from 8 to 13.

According to the attack and defense calculation formula of the soul card, Duanmu Huai's current attack is equal to 26 points of strength + 23 points of intelligence = 49 = 4 points of attack, 23 points of constitution + 9 points of agility = 32 = 3 points of defense...

Well, it would be perfect if it could be more attractive, but as it is now it's not bad.

However... For Duanmu Huai, the unexpected bonus also has unexpected benefits... Well...

Duanmu Huai stared at one of the attributes and was silent for a moment.

It's a pity that the monsters in World Fragments do not require experience and cannot be upgraded. Otherwise, you can try that trick... Let's wait until we get out.

However, just when Duanmuhuai was about to leave, something unexpected happened—the two fingers that were there like a dead man suddenly twitched, and then Duanmuhuai heard a sound like

There was a scream like a wail, and the next moment, the two fingers returned to the soil and disappeared.

"……………How is this going?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned. For some reason, he always had a bad premonition...

After that, Duanmu Huai left Stonewell City and returned to the dilapidated hut. Little Red Riding Hood was still sitting quietly where she was. Duanmu Huai originally thought that she would waste a lot of time, but she didn't expect that when Little Red Riding Hood took the hand from Duanmu Huai

After seeing the strange black ball, he seemed to understand something and suddenly burst into tears.

Then, Little Red Riding Hood seemed to think of something. She raised her head and looked at Duanmuhuai.

"I...want to change, and everyone believes in me. Even if I can't do anything now, I think I can still do something in the future."

Having said this, Little Red Riding Hood stood up and lowered her head to Duanmuhuai.

"Thank you, Iron Warrior, I will find the path I should take."

After saying this, Little Red Riding Hood turned and left. Looking at her retreating back, Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the other person sitting next to Little Red Riding Hood instead of Little Red Riding Hood - that was the magic.

Roger, who noticed his gaze, smiled and said hello to him.

"Ah, you're back. Judging from your appearance, you should have successfully defeated Grek and obtained the big rune?"

"A weakling is not worth mentioning."

Duanmuhuai shook his head and walked to Roger.

"What about you? Did you find what you were looking for?"

"Already found."

Roger smiled bitterly, then shook his head.

"It's just that I paid a certain price...but for me, it's worth it."

Having said this, Roger hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Duanmuhuai again.

"I have something to ask of you, brave Iron Warrior."

"What's up?"

"Remember the night of the assassination I told you before? In fact, just now, I investigated a clue. In the library of Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy, there is a clue about the cemetery of the Black Knife Assassin.

, if possible, could you please help me go to the library and investigate? Maybe, we can use this to find the Death Rune."

"No problem at all."

Hearing Roger's request, Duanmuhuai nodded immediately. In fact, when he listened to Roger's story before, Duanmuhuai had already set his sights on the Death Rune. But it was a pity that Roger did not make further progress at that time.

Duanmu Huai originally planned to investigate the clues after this. Now that Roger has the clues, of course he will not refuse.

So, after determining the direction from Roger, Duanmuhuai passed through Stonewell City again and continued to move forward.

This area called Lienia is completely different from before. Most of the entire area is soaked in water and looks like a large swamp.

But for Duanmu Huai, the most disgusting thing here is...

“Whoosh!!!”

A water arrow whizzed out and hit Duanmu Huai straightly. Its powerful impact even made Duanmu Huai tilt his body. Then he roared, and the jetpack behind him exploded again, leading Duanmu Huai to jump.

He rose up and flew forward through the jungle, and then the war hammer in Duanmu Huai's hand whizzed down and hit the back of a huge lobster that looked even bigger than a crocodile and was four to five meters long!

"Crack!!"

The thick carapace was completely shattered at the moment of impact. Before the lobster could make any further moves, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, grabbed the shrimp line from its back and pulled hard, directly pulling out the lobster that was full of filth.

The shrimp thread was pulled out, and at the same time, the lobster collapsed heavily to the ground and became motionless.

"Boom!!"

However, before Duanmu Huai could breathe a sigh of relief, the ground behind him suddenly rolled, and then a lobster quickly emerged from it, clamped Duanmu Huai's body with a pair of pincers, and tried to cut it off at the waist. However, Duanmu Huai was not easy to mess with.

Yes, he roared angrily, and threw the hammer forward, instantly smashing the lobster's head to pieces. The lobster trembled for a moment, and then turned into a corpse.

"I never expected that lobsters could be so disgusting."

Looking at the lobster carcass in front of him fiercely, Duanmuhuai also looked depressed. The thing that disgusted him the most in this area was that these large ones looked like giant lobsters that had been mutated by nuclear radiation. They usually looked like giant lobsters that had been mutated by nuclear radiation.

It hides in the soil and cannot be seen at all. Once it finds prey, it will directly emerge from the ground to attack. Even if it is far away from it, this thing will spray a lethal water gun from its claws to attack.

If Duanmu Huai's power armor hadn't been hard enough, it would have been penetrated by these damn lobsters long ago.

If Greg had the claws on this thing, it might be a little harder to hit!

And this lobster can’t be eaten...it’s not like you can cook it in such a big pot!

Just when Duanmuhuai shook his head and was about to move on, suddenly, a timid voice came.

"That one over there...that one over there..."

"Um?"

Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a figure waving towards him on the pavilion not far away.

"Can you please come to me?"

"???"

Duanmu Huai turned around and came to the pavilion. In the stone pavilion, there was a woman wearing a green robe and blond hair. She seemed to be a little hunched, and she just stood there uneasily, looking at Duanmu Huai pitifully.

"You have something to do with me?"

"Hello, first time meeting..."

The woman bowed to Duanmuhuai very respectfully and carefully, and then spoke.

"It's like this, warrior, I was traveling on my master's orders...but I was attacked by a gangster...Can I ask you a favor? In fact, that gangster took away my important things.

Necklace, I want to ask you to help me get it back...Ah, of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it..."

"Where is he?"

"Not far ahead, there is a hut, and he is there."

"Oh well."

Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and nodded.

Anyway, it’s just on the way, just walk over and take a look.

Following the direction pointed by the woman, Duanmu Huai strode forward again. Soon, he saw a dilapidated stone house in the middle of the swamp not far away. Not only that...
To be continued...
