Chapter 188 Prison Companion
"When the time comes, whether you kill them or they kill you, it will be useless. We are all immortal and will be resurrected sooner or later. It will be difficult for anyone to completely kill the other party. It will only lead to an endless battle in the future."
. . . . . .
As an old veteran of Lordran, Brother Grayheart has seen many different kinds of undead, but most of them disappeared, perhaps in the next farewell, or perhaps in a simple exploration. Only he stayed in the sacrificial site.
In order to save Lin Hun's life, Brother Huixin broke up his experience and stuffed it into Lin Hun's brain bit by bit.
Lin Hun accepted all these words of experience, but as an adult he also had his own ideas. However, on the surface, Lin Hun just nodded obediently.
"My eldest brother's way of doing things is his own, and I have my own way of dealing with things."
"How long has it been since I talked to someone so much?" After saying so much, Brother Dixin felt a little dry in the mouth. "Huh, it feels good. This kid is so obedient that I can't help but talk a little more. After saying so much, it should be enough."
Brother Huixin nodded with satisfaction and stopped transferring experience. He waved to Lin Hun:
"Okay, that's all for this time. You should go and do your own thing."
Brother Huixin turned around and walked back to the steps to sit down. Looking at Lin Hun by the campfire, he couldn't help but remind him again:
"Kid, you must be alert when you go out. Be careful!"
"Okay, I understand," Lin Hun nodded seriously.
Then Lin Hun squatted down and picked up the fallen hair from the ground. As for the hair that fell into the mud and could not be picked up, Lin Hun took out the sword blade, scraped it lightly, and threw it into the campfire in front of him along with the mud.
Lin Hun only knew about three categories of the mysterious power of Lothric: spells, magic and miracles. However, the world is so big that who knows what kind of mysterious skill there is that can cast a curse like the legendary voodoo as long as it obtains a certain part of the body. To be on the safe side, it still needs to be properly handled.
Then Lin Hun continued to raise the sword and cut the hair on both sides. These two places were much easier to cut than the top of the head.
However, seeing how clumsy Lin Hun was, Brother Huixin came forward to help Lin Hun fix it. Of course, this time Lin Hun did not hand him the Black Knight Sword, but casually took out a handful of trophies from his waist bag.
It might be as light as a feather in Lin Hun's own hand, but it feels just right in Brother Huixin's hand.

After finishing his hair and putting on his armor, Lin Hun called out to Brother Huixin:
"Okay, thank you, big brother. I want to go visit the fire keeper who maintains the flame. I forgot about it when I left in such a hurry the last few times."
Brother Huixin doesn't bother to care what Lin Hun does. His legs are on his own body and he can go wherever he wants. He is not his father, so he is too lazy to care and doesn't want to care.
Seeing Lin Hun slowly disappearing down the stairs, Brother Huixin told him what he knew:
"Boy, you'd better be prepared to see the Fire Keeper. Before I came here, when the bonfire was lit, maybe the woman already existed. Of course, I went to see her, but unfortunately, the woman was like a piece of wood. No matter how I talked to her, she didn't respond."
"But looking at her clothes, she looks a bit like the Saint of the White Church," Brother Grayheart glanced at the side with disdain. "Although I have never seen any White Church guys visit the Fire Keeper, maybe I am mistaken."
"If you go to see the Fire Keeper, you'd better prepare for failure." Having said that, Brother Desperate stopped talking and lowered his head silently after telling the information he knew. He stared at the bonfire in front of him as usual, as if he wanted to see a flower from the flames rising from it.
Lin Hun just waved his hand to show that he understood, and continued down the stairs without looking back.
The buildings of the Fire Transmission Shrine had become dilapidated due to lack of maintenance, with uneven stone steps and broken fences. Lin Hun stuck his head out to take a look. He had good eyesight and could see clearly that below the Fire Transmission Shrine was a bottomless canyon with two protrusions on the cliffs on both sides, and traces of human intervention were clearly felt.
"It seems that the Sun King Gwyn really used his power to connect the world from top to bottom. Above is the kingdom of God, Anor Londo, and below is the underground kingdom, Izareth. The location of the Firelink Shrine should be in the upper middle part." Looking down at the world naturally ignited Lin Hun's own ambitions in his heart. "What a magnificent world, there are so many secrets waiting for me to explore."
Lin Hun is full of hope for the future:
"No! Not only now, the time in Lordran is chaotic. Maybe one day I can take a good look at the past, present and future and give it a try."
"It feels so good to have power—" Lin Hun clenched his fists and felt the power in them, "Only with power as a guarantee can we see more and go further."
Although he already knew the Fire Keeper's situation when he walked down the stairs, Lin Hun still felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart when he saw it with his own eyes.
In front of Lin Hun was a crude prison that was carved directly out of the rocks of the mountain. A few thick iron bars were all that was arranged in this prison.
The location of this prison is right below the Firelink Shrine Square, with the bonfire above pressing down heavily on the prison. Lin Hun feels that the spiral sword in the bonfire above is not only stuck in the pile of undead remains but also directly into the body of the Fire Keeper below.
The prison was built to imprison only one person, the fire keeper from the Fire Shrine. Lin Hun did not see any basic equipment in the dark room, and there was only this woman kneeling on the ground, all alone.
"If I had come to the Dark Soul world and been locked up in a prison like this, I would probably never have been able to get out on my own," Lin Hun, who had also been in prison and had just been released after reform, immediately thought of himself and took the initiative to compare his own situation with that of the Fire Keeper in front of him.
Only a small number of the undead who came to Lordran had been in prison like Lin Hun. Most of them actively found the way to Lordran and arrived there because of their special identities, powerful strength and inexplicable missions.
But it’s different for immortals like Lin Hun. All those who have been in jail were captured artificially. They were imprisoned in corners far away from civilization like pests.
Unless these guys have extraordinary opportunities like Lin Hun, they will probably be locked in there and won't be able to get out until the world is destroyed.
Therefore, even if the discouraged brothers saw the miserable state of the Fire Keeper being imprisoned, they would only feel sympathy and pity and would not do anything else, because in their eyes, the Fire Keeper was just fulfilling her mission, and no one wanted to care about or understand her personal wishes.
