"The target remains unchanged; it's still the Little Londo Ruins."
Dal pondered for a mont and then said.
The words spoken by World Serpent Furaamte indeed outlined an exciting prospect in just a few sentences. Becoming Gwyn's successor was sothing people hadn't even dared to imagine before.
However, they were at least calm and rational adults. A bit of thought would show that their best course of action was to stick with the Little Londo Ruins.
Why not go to Yanor Londo? In the Sain Dungeon, it's rare to learn the next destination from a residual shadow's mouth, and every instance is a big deal.
That's because...
The Fran Guard can't go there now.
During the days Dal and his team arrived at Scaroon, they've been busy dealing with the Demon Clan, and they haven't even visited the Sain Dungeon much, only symbolically rang the Awakening Bell in the Undead Town Outside the City. They haven't even had a chance to glance at the bell in the Sick Village, let alone fight through Sain Ancient City to get to Yanor Londo.
Yanor Kingdom's Yanor Londo, "Painting World" Yanor Londo, and Scaroon's Yanor Londo are completely independent entities.
When adventurers reach the third, it connects with the second one, and individuals like Brass Woman Solar inherit the mories they had previously encountered. However, this inheritance only occurs within the residual shadows; in reality, as adventurers delve into the third map, they find many unexplored areas previously unseen.
The reason Luluwo and her team could find their way back in Yanor Londo so smoothly was that Gong Qiying deliberately designed it that way, aiming to guide adventurers to discover this path ho.
If they explore a little deeper, they can find places inconsistent with mories.
Perhaps this is getting a bit far, but in short, if Dal and his team want to go to Yanor Londo, they need to fulfill many prerequisites, which would take much more ti.
In that case, they might as well head to the Little Londo Ruins today.
Moreover, Fingerley and his team have already gone to Yanor Londo. They can share Furaamte's information when they return and then explore further.
"People have their own responsibilities; let's not interfere," soone among the Fran Guard said.
Tusi nodded in agreent without saying much. He hadn't even cleared Sain Ancient City yet, so he couldn't go to the Royal City either.
"I wonder if asking other questions would get an answer."
He turned his gaze back to Furaamte, then looked away, realizing he couldn't bear to look directly at it.
If there were a scholar studying the history of Sain Dungeon, they'd likely have many questions for this "friend of Gwyn," but Tusi wasn't a scholar, and at this point, he didn't know what to ask.
"What is the Royal Artifact?" In the end, he managed to ask just this one question.
Furaamte opened its eyes, opened and closed its mouth, and said:
"That is a vessel only obtainable by the Undead who are chosen to beco King Gwyn's successor. It holds souls, and only by obtaining it will the path to the final door open. So hurry to Yanor Londo; I hope you are the successor I've waited for over many years."
Once again, the words were brief but filled with allure. Tusi thought if he were a few years younger, he might have rushed straight to Yanor Londo, full of enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, he no longer had the potential of a hot-blooded comic protagonist. Now he just wanted to find a way to deal with the Four Kings of Little Londo quickly.
"It seems it'll only respond to what I say," he looked towards Dal and his team and asked, "Do you have any questions? I can relay them."
Dal rubbed his chin, finding nothing in particular he wanted to know. He said, "Ask about the Dark Great Snake."
After Tusi relayed the question, Furaamte, with a previously calm expression, suddenly beca enraged.
"That creature is a follower of darkness. Most of the evil acts happening in the world are related to it. It tempts Undead with the potential of kings like you to fall into darkness, to seize the fla or extinguish the World's Fla. That's its ideal. Beware of that creature; it leads people down a path of destruction..."
Seize the fla or extinguish the fla?
How evil!
"I knew it was no good," Tusi showed a disgusted expression. From the mont he saw such a creature in the Soul-sucking Ghost-thed Painting World, he developed a strong aversion to Kas, both physically and ntally.
"Sounds like a mber of the Abyss Force," Dal nodded. "If I could et him, I'd want to cut him down."
The Fran Guards behind him nodded in agreent.
"Gotta believe in Gwyn and the fla," Tusi said offhandedly before a sudden idea hit him. He asked, seemingly to himself:
"For those faithful believers, wouldn't becoming Gwyn's successor seem too presumptuous?"
"As far as I know, no believer has thought about becoming a deity or inheriting a god's position. That would be too disrespectful to the gods."
The idea of becoming a god's successor was almost universally seen as a sacrilegious concept by the faithful in Scaroon and throughout the continent.
