Chapter 189 Fire Keeper
Chapter 189 Fire Keeper
"Um, um? Hello." Lin Hun hesitated outside the door for a moment and then took the initiative to step forward and greeted him.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous when he met the fire keeper Lin Hun for the first time, but he was a straightforward person and being shy was too unpleasant.
The fire keeper in the prison didn't even raise her head, and her body didn't even tremble at all. She maintained this posture like a stone.
However, Lin Hun still had an impression of this fire keeper girl, so he didn't expect any response.
Unlike several other fireproof girls who have obvious backgrounds.
The fire keeper at the Firelink Shrine was provided by the White Church.
Yes, “provide”.
In the past, she was a saint of the White Church. However, when she was chosen as the fire keeper, her fate took a huge downturn.
Countless times of brainwashing turned these women, who had little self-awareness and knowledge and believed in the White Religion, into staunch supporters of the Fire Transmission School and began to promote the Fire Transmission School wholeheartedly.
I would even be willing to become the firewood that keeps the bonfire burning.
In Lin Hun's opinion, the role of this White Church Saint turned Fire Keeper is actually no different from that of a tool.
Perhaps in the eyes of the White Church's top leaders, they are just necessities to keep the flames in the bonfire burning.
As for the so-called free human nature, it is completely meaningless and unnecessary.
Lin Hun could understand this. After all, the flame was about to go out and the world was about to be destroyed. How could anyone be so careless as to talk about human rights and freedom? It was good enough that they were not arrested and thrown into the furnace to be burned.
What really made Lin Hun feel incomprehensible was the attitude of the church’s top leaders and the undead towards the Fire Keeper.
While they made full use of the "fire-keepers," they carried them to a vital place;
When she was alive, this fire keeper had her legs broken to prevent her from escaping, her mouth and tongue dug out to prevent her from talking nonsense, and her eyes gouged out to prevent her from looking around.
Even after their death, these fire keeper girls were fully utilized. Their souls were molded into green elemental bottles to hold the elemental liquid condensed in the bonfire. As for those who already had elemental bottles, there was no need to worry about having no place to use the souls obtained from killing the fire keeper girls. Adding a fire keeper girl's soul to the elemental bottle would increase the capacity and extraction efficiency by one level.
And almost everyone will have one of the undead treasures, the Elemental Bottle. Wow.
The Fire Keeper's body is full of treasures inside and out. From birth to death, everything has been developed and arranged clearly.
However, the church looked down on the existence of the Fire Keepers, treating them as the simplest consumables without any cherishment or protection.
Even the emotionally indifferent undead could not harbor such malice and contempt for these women.
Because they have to rely on the fire keepers to maintain the bonfire, the undead will even take the initiative to protect the women in their world to keep them alive and well, to prevent them from committing suicide one day and causing the bonfire to go out.
Lin Hun could see that this woman didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was almost used to it. Wasn't it the same with Brother Discouraged at the beginning?
Lin Hun believed that relying on his thick skin and his experience of making friends with Grayheart, he could easily close the distance between himself and the Fire Keeper. "Woman, you have successfully attracted my attention."
Lin Hun started to run two threads at this time. While thinking in his mind, he searched his wallet at the same time. He opened the wall of his heart and immersed himself in his own world, completely ignoring the fire keeper in the prison.
"Where did I lose the amulet I bought? Oh, right! There's also the miracle. Alas, I've been in the dream for too long and I'm about to forget it all."
Lin Hun could only use the clumsy method to open the waist bags one by one to look at the contents. Although his behavior of taking out a waist bag from behind his butt from time to time, opening it, observing it for a moment and then putting it back was very strange, the fire keeper had stayed in the Firelink Shrine long enough and had seen a lot of strange people and things, so she just tilted her head slightly to take a look.
"What is that adult outside doing? He looks weird."
Then the Fire Keeper shook her head silently to throw away her curiosity.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter, just do whatever you want, sir. After all, I'm just a weak fireproof girl, and I don't have any means to stop him."
Clearing her mind of distractions, the Fire Girl continued to lower her head and empty her mind.
This is a skill that all fire keepers must learn in order to endure the lonely environment. Only by giving up all emotions can they endure this long loneliness and maintain the bonfire until the fire is passed on and the next prosperous era arrives.
The Fire Keeper's emotions didn't fluctuate strongly, but Lin Hun still noticed it.
Even a ripple on the calm water surface was so conspicuous, but when he looked up, the ripple had disappeared and the water surface returned to silence again.
"There is a lot of humanity in this Fire Keeper. Logically, she should still have all her emotions and memories. How can she be so calm and have such little emotional fluctuation?"
Thinking about this little thing for a while made Lin Hun realize that his thinking was wrong.
"That's right. These fire keeper girls are all selected from the saints. How could they be the kind of people who can be killed with just two swords like in the game? There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers here."
While thinking about Lin Hun, his hands kept moving. Suddenly, he spread his legs apart, put one hand on his waist, and held high the two objects he found in his waist bag.
At this moment, Lin Hun still looked calm on the surface, but he was already shouting in his heart:
""Recovery" and the amulet, get it!!!""
Due to their physical constitution, the emotions of the undead are quite weak, except for Lin Hun, who is still very emotional. He suddenly made such an exaggerated behavior. It was the first time that the Fire Keeper had seen such a situation, and she couldn't help but be attracted and cast a curious look.
"What is this master doing? Have I stayed in Lordran for too long? Is there any new ritual in the church? I need to write it down quickly."
Although the Fire Keeper didn't know why Lin Hun made such a move, nor why it didn't trigger a miracle, she still secretly glanced at him and memorized everything in her mind, even the position of his hands on his waist and the angle of his legs, all of which were recorded meticulously and completely.
If her body could still move, the action that even Lin Hun could not reproduce exactly would be easy for the Fire Keeper.
Her sensitivity to rituals and her experience of learning miracles are what enabled her to do this.
The Fire Keeper suffered the loss of not understanding Lin Hun’s nature when she first met him.
If Brother Dixin saw Lin Hun's actions nearby, he would only think that he was crazy again, and would turn his head away and ignore him after just a glance.
No.
It should be said that Brother Huixin has already done so, and even more exaggeratedly, he has already closed his eyes and rubbed his temples on both sides helplessly to soothe his aching head.
