Chapter 43 The cruel truth

Chuanhuo Sacrifice Site.

In the blacksmith shop where sparks were flying everywhere, blacksmith Andre looked at the huge and cold weapon in front of him in astonishment.

"Well...it's up to you. I hope this weapon can be smaller and can be used according to my body shape. If possible, it is best to preserve the combat skills on the weapon."

Xia Yu looked at Andre's stunned look and said with some embarrassment. He knew that he was a bit pushy, but... sometimes there are always challenges.

How could he improve his forging skills by forging some ordinary weapons there all day long? He made this request to make Andre improve. Yes, he did it for the sake of the blacksmith!

After thinking about it, Xia Yu believed it himself, and the embarrassment in his heart disappeared instantly, and he even straightened his back.

"What? Is it a bit too difficult? Well, it turns out that I am forcing myself to do something difficult. It seems that your forging skills can't help me for the time being."

"No!"

Andre suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Xia Yu from taking back the weapon, his voice was slightly trembling.

"Since I am a blacksmith, as long as you ask, I will forge, so don't forget, you are fighting for fire and people... and I am the same, although I have a forging mission that is no different from the curse.

, but that’s how there is hope, right?”

Andre grinned with a smile that reassured him, then raised his forging hammer and tentatively tapped the huge ice dog hammer.

After the confirmation was completed, Andre put down the hammer and nodded towards Xia Yu.

"You're welcome, just leave it to me. The weapon is your comrade. If you forge it properly, it will never betray you."

After finishing speaking, Andre sat aside and began to think about how to reduce the size of the weapon while retaining its characteristics.

Seeing this, Xia Yu did not disturb the other party. After leaving a large number of souls, he turned and left the blacksmith shop.

The soul is the currency of the soul world. When the world is weakening, the gold and silver coins that were once worthless are no longer valuable. Only the soul, which is owned by everyone, has become hard currency.

Although the world is now full of living corpses, there will always be a small number of normal people who still exist, and the currency circulating among them is ownerless souls.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Xia Yu followed the left side of the stairs to the lower level of the sacrificial ground. He wanted to replenish some consumed props.

Next to the stairs at the lower level of the sacrificial site, a small figure wearing a pointed hood greeted Xia Yu happily.

"Hey... you're fine. That's great. Now it's my turn to fulfill my obligations. If there's anything you want, just tell me. You're welcome."

"Hmm...but don't ask about the source of the things."

Xia Yu also smiled and walked over. The other party was a rare friendly NPC in the Soul World. His name was Grerit. He was a thief. Of course, he could take whatever the other party stole.

Because this was an agreement between him and Grerit, he would do something for the other person, and the other person would use the stolen things to help him.

"I'm just here to add some props, I don't need much."

As Xia Yu spoke, he squatted down in front of Grerit's stolen goods stall. After taking a few flame pots and throwing knives, he also put down some souls.

"You don't have to give me your soul." Looking at Xia Yu's soul, Grerit hurriedly declined, "This is the help I'm giving you, you don't have to do this."

"It's okay, this little soul is not much to me, just accept it."

While Xia Yu put away the props, he smiled and rejected Grerett's refusal. Seeing this, Grerett paused, did not speak again, and just nodded silently.

Just when Xia Yu was about to get up and leave, Grerit suddenly said: "Don't forget what you agreed to do. Remember to transfer the ring to a person named Luo Lei in the small town below the high wall.

The old woman from the tower."

"This is indeed a very bad request. Well, it's just that I can't sleep well..."

Xia Yu stood up for a moment and responded softly: "I understand, then I'm leaving."

"Well, goodbye. Hope you're safe."

After bidding farewell to Grerit, Xia Yu turned around and sighed softly. He hesitated, wondering whether he should tell Grerit the truth.

He hasn't reached the Undead Town yet, but he has played the game and knows that the old woman named Loretta has died long ago.

Grerit's expectations could only be disappointed, and even despaired. In the late game, Grerit even had the idea of ​​​​seeking death, and he put it into practice, and finally died in the Royal City of Lothric.

But if he doesn't tell Grerit, he will definitely not give up. He might go to the undead settlement to find Loretta by himself, and then learn the truth.

"Oh, so melancholy."

Xia Yu stroked the blue tear stone ring on his finger. This was the ring that Grerett wanted him to give to Loretta, a large precious gemstone ring named after the tear stone.

"What's wrong? Master Ashes."

The fire-prevention woman's question brought Xia Yu out of his melancholy, and he had unknowingly returned to the center of the sacrificial site.

Looking at the fire prevention girl in front of him who cared about him, Xia Yu suddenly took her hand and said, "Come out for a walk with me."

After that, Xia Yu pulled the fire prevention girl towards the top of the stairs. Although the fire prevention girl was a little surprised, she did not resist and followed Xia Yu obediently to leave the sacrificial site.

The outside of the sacrificial site still looked dilapidated, with resurrected zombies wandering around and occasionally making unexplained roars.

After kicking all the living corpses near the cliff off the cliff, Xia Yu found a relatively open position and sat on the edge of the cliff.

Although there was a cliff at his feet, he was not very afraid. After all, he was an immortal ashes and could be resurrected from the bonfire even after being shattered to pieces.

Looking at the boundless sky and feeling the fire-proof woman standing behind him, Xia Yu suddenly spoke.

"If someone important to your friend dies, should you tell your friend this cruel thing?"

"Is the friend Lord Ashes mentioned Gray Rat?"

"Huh?" Xia Yu turned his head in surprise, looked at the fire prevention girl's peaceful face and asked in confusion: "How do you know?"

"Oh, Lord Ashes is really slow." The fire-proof girl shook her head slightly, "Someone I didn't know suddenly came to the sacrificial site, so I went to inquire about it, and then Grerit told me the agreement between him and Lord Ashes.

Already."

"Ah this..."

"So, the lady named Loretta has..."

"Yes." Xia Yu suddenly leaned back and lay on the ground. "That woman has met with something unexpected, but Grerit doesn't know. Do you think I should tell him?"

The fireproof girl knelt down next to Xia Yu and said, "The separation between life and death is the normal state of this world. As long as Master Ashes obeys his own heart, everything will be fine."

"Your answer..." Xia Yu laughed and closed his eyes, "It's like you didn't say anything."

"Sorry, Lord Ashes."

"It's okay. I didn't blame you. I was just being hypocritical. Who am I to conceal the truth, even the cruel truth?"

"Lord Ashes, no matter what you think, I will support you. After all, I am your fireproof girl."

"Um."

After the calm conversation, the surroundings became quiet again, with only the faint sound of wind remaining.
