Chapter 762
Elf Queen Kellybel now understood that Sylvanas was only a fictional character in the mystical realm in World of Warcraft .
As the queen of a kingdom that valued freedom, Kellybel didn’t think that she needed to mind the business in a virtual world .
However, as a good leader, Kellybel needed to obtain a deeper understanding of the needs of the citizens in the Elf Kingdom under her leadership .
Meanwhile, she felt guilty that she only found out the key to the victory of the alliance army after the war at the Lianshan Principality .
Therefore, she decided to go and experience it in person .
– Meanwhile, in the Elder Hall where First Elder Hyru lived –
First Elder Hyru straightened his robe and was about to set off .
“First Elder . ” Elf Queen Kellybel walked over and asked, “Can you do me a favor?”
“…” First Elder Hyru froze for a second . Remembering the previous incident, he felt guilty and said immediately, “I’ll do my best . ”
“Wonderful!” Kellybel took out a big pile of parchment from her storage space and placed them on First Elder Hyru’s desk . “I have more important business to attend to . Thank you very much . ”
Then, she left in a hurry .
First Elder Hyru who was ready to set off stared at the desk in a daze and then at the direction that the Elf Queen had taken .
He slumped onto his chair and murmured, “I…”
Having stayed in the Elf Royal Palace for a long time, Kellybel thought that her knowledge about the world was outdated .
After all, some things couldn’t be understood by merely reading intelligence reports .
Therefore, she felt it was necessary to know the world better, which was more important than dealing with the tedious documents and was an urgent business for her right now .
“Um… three days are enough . ” Before she set off, she had made a good plan for her journey .
“But I can’t let them know about it…” Kellybel changed into exquisite body-fitting leather armor, took off her crown, and pulled her hair up in a neat ponytail . After holstering a long bow and a long sword, she changed her looks slightly with some spells and turned into a heroic-looking elf rogue .
Although saint-level masters were rare, this continent was vast with a large population, which meant that the number of saint-level masters was not as little as one might imagine .

After pushing open the door and entering the shop, Kellybel looked around and spotted a few saint-level masters . “Isn’t that St . Wilson…? The Nation-Protecting Sword Saint?”
“Isn’t that St . Leidon from Lianshan Principality…?”
The stout middle-aged man looked elated while he made a list . “Sir, I want these ten games including all of the Dark Souls series . ”
“Please activate Dark Souls 3 for me . ”
Mr . Fang was busy selling membership cards and activating the new game when a tall and slim female elf walked up . “My name’s Kelly, an elf rogue . Please activate Dark Souls 3 for me too . ”
This elf… I didn’t ask your name . How come you sound as if you are afraid that I would mistake you for someone else?
“A new elf?” Mr . Fang took her money and activated the game for her with a puzzled expression .
Kellybel came just in time . It was early morning, and many players of the Jiuhua City Shop, Half City Shop, and Yuanyang City Shop had just begun to try this game .
Accompanied by a hymn-like song, the dark scene before the players looked extremely mysterious and weird . The deep bell toll added an explicable heaviness to the scene .
“Yes, indeed . It is called Lothric . ”

“Where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge . ”
“In venturing north, the pilgrims discover the truth of the old words: ‘The fire fades and the lords go without thrones . ’ When the link of the fire is threatened, the bell tolls, unearthing the old Lords of Cinders from their graves . ”
Even though they didn’t know what the old words were about, the players sensed that this was the beginning of a desolate and weird world where all lifeforms were being born from the simple introduction in the opening cinematics . They could tell that it was totally different from any world they had known about .
One after another, the ancient Lords of Cinder crawled out from their coffins, and big puddles of black wet mud oozed from its decrepit coffin .
“Aldrich, Saint of the Deep . ”
In a ruined tomb covered by mist, tall and thin knights wearing unique helmets with sharp horns slowly stood up while leaning on their huge swords .
“Farron’s Undead Legion, the Abyss Watchers . ”
The ground quaked violently as a mountain-like figure sat up from an extremely huge stone coffin . Under the hooded chain mail that the giant wore on his head, there was a deep black hole on his face, and a hoarse roar came out from the black hole with a destructive storm .
“And the reclusive lord of the Profaned Capital, Yhorm the Giant . ”
“What’s this…?!” This scene had gone beyond every player’s understanding of the world as they saw nothing but destruction and ruins . Even the kings and saints in this world were nightmarish existences .

Elf Queen Kellybel and the other saint-level masters shivered uncontrollably at this scene, wondering, What kind of world is this?
The elves, knights, and some saint-level masters who were watching the opening cinematics put down their virtual reality headsets subconsciously . Looking around, they saw the same grimness and horror on each other’s faces .
“Only, in truth… the Lords will abandon their thrones…” the ancient voice on the screen continued .
“And the Unkindled will rise . Nameless, accursed Undead, unfit even to be cinder . And so it is, that ash seeketh embers . ”
After choosing one’s class, the bell tolled . The players controlled their own characters and climbed out of the unnamed ancient stone coffins in a bleak graveyard .
The stone coffins and tablets that were randomly scattered on the ground and the grey lifeless valley filled with grey mist made the world look like a nightmare .
If it was a myth and a legend, then it only existed in a world of nightmares .
It looked even wierder and creepier than a nightmare .
It was the opposite of the beautiful and prosperous land that the players knew about . It was full of darkness and despair, waiting for destruction .
“Undead…?” No, they were not undead since the deep sleep after death was a luxury for them .
They were the nameless, accursed unkindled that were unfit to be Lords of Cinder . After they died, they couldn’t obtain a peaceful deep sleep . Instead, they were resurrected near the fire and continued to die again and again in this nightmarish world until their spirit collapsed and they became hollow corpses without consciousness .
“How come there is such a strange world…” At this moment, Su Tianji had turned on her livestream . With a horrified expression, she controlled her character to walk out cautiously . “This looks scary… I’ll try playing it for a while…”
