Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 433 - 42: You’Er Xia

Hmm.

Just as Su Ziyu and Sister Fried were retracing their steps back to the initial cathedral, Sister Fried, who was a half-step behind, suddenly let out a muffled groan. Her whole body wavered, as if she could hardly stand.

"What's wrong with you?"

Su Ziyu quickly reached out to support Sister Fried, looking into her slightly dazed eyes, he said: "Are you okay?!"

"Hmm." Sister Fried panted slightly.

She slowly closed her eyes as if sensing something, then opened them and said: "I'm fine."

"It's just…"

Su Ziyu looked at Sister Fried beside him, who seemed on the verge of speaking. He gently asked: "Just what?"

Her aura suddenly became much weaker.

It was too sudden.

There was no sign at all, and they hadn't been attacked in any way.

"The new King of Wandering Souls of Londor has been born…" Sister Fried steadied herself slightly, placing her fingers on her temple, she softly said: "He's nearby!"

"Just finished a wedding ceremony."

Wedding ceremony?

Su Ziyu was a bit baffled, but by this time Sister Fried had already recovered. Her expression had a slight trace of gravity, and she slowly said: "He's over there!"

"Come with me, I'll explain on the way."

With that, she immediately headed towards the back of the cathedral.

As if sensing something, Sister Fried hastened her steps slightly, saying as she walked: "He went to Yanorlund, most likely also targeting the Eldritch, the Devourer of Gods!"

Is he trying to steal my boss?

Su Ziyu quickly caught up, saying in a serious tone: "What exactly is the King of Wandering Souls of Londor?"

"Explain it to me in detail."

Sister Fried hesitated slightly upon hearing this, then slowly began to tell some hidden secrets of the past.

Londor is actually a human faction.

For a long, long period in the past, the world was ruled by the Divine Race.

Whether it was the descendants of the former royal Sun King - Gwyn's line or the later royal House of Lothric, they were all of the Divine Race. Most of the kings who appeared in history had the blood of the Divine Race. However, Londor is a purely human faction, at least on the surface. The King of Wandering Souls of Londor is essentially the King of Humanity, but they believe that humans who turn into zombified souls are the true heirs of the Dark Soul.

The first to receive the Dark King Soul from the First Flame, besides the Sun King - Gwyn, the Tomb King Nite, and the Chaos Witch, was an unknown monarch who obtained the Dark Soul.

It is said that this is the origin of humanity.

To become the King of Wandering Souls of Londor, one must possess the marks of eight Dark Rings.

Ordinary Undead do not have this many.

Only some extremely special existences are qualified to be king, and only they can devour the First Flame into their body.

The core belief of Londor is that the Age of Fire is the age of the gods, and now that the gods are nowhere to be found, it is our turn, the wandering souls, to inherit the throne. Their purpose is to seize the First Flame and seal it into an Undead with eight Dark Rings, and this Undead would be the King of Wandering Souls of Londor, the strongest king holding the power of the First Flame.

Seizing the flame.

This is Londor's ultimate goal, and as for how long it would take for the First Flame to completely extinguish after seizing it, that is a question for the future.

After all, Londor is full of zombified Undead; getting hold of the First Flame first is the right course.

"In this world, it's very difficult for an Undead with eight Dark Rings to exist."

"So Londor must use a secret technique to forge Soul Mates between two Undead; only then can the chosen monarch possess eight Dark Rings."

Sister Fried slowly continued: "With enough Dark Rings, they can seize the power of the First Flame."

"Otherwise."

"The power of the First Flame will still be controlled by the Incarnation of Lords."

Su Ziyu somewhat understood, he asked: "Has someone just conducted the Soul Mates ritual? Is that why you sensed it?"

"Yes." Sister Fried softly said.

She herself is an Undead with five Dark Rings. According to Londor's original plan, she was supposed to seize the First Flame, but Sister Fried was unwilling to do that, so Londor must have chosen a new candidate.

"Over here."

"This leads to the Spirit Temple." Sister Fried's figure rose into the air, with Su Ziyu following closely behind.

Ahead were some knight corpses clad in silver armor.

"Recently killed." Su Ziyu glanced over and said: "They must have just left!"

To become the King of Wandering Souls of Londor, one must undergo a special wedding ceremony.

Su Ziyu followed Sister Fried forward, after about half an hour, they arrived at a rather special hall. Here, many Silver Knights were slain, with signs of explosions surrounding them. The two continued through a dark passageway, soon spotting a figure with what appeared to be a heavy turtle shell on its back in their line of sight.

Outside the castle of Lorric, Su Ziyu had seen such people; they seemed to be Pilgrims of Londor.

"Dead." Su Ziyu walked over and glanced down.

Sister Fried's expression was solemn as she slowly entered the hall ahead. In the middle of this vast hall lay an extremely special altar, with steps ascending layer by layer, and at the center lay an immobile figure.
