Departure

Lin Luo eventually put away the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea. After all, Irena was also by his side, so he gave his father some face.

"Old man, what are you doing here!"

Lin Luo snorted coldly, his tone not good.

"Ah... I was just worried about you, my lord..."

Edgar knew his appearance was ill-timed and smiled sheepishly.

However, it seemed that ever since Castle Morne was liberated and he found his daughter Irena, Edgar had started to let loose. This was completely unlike your cool, aloof uncle image!

"You worry about yourself first!"

Lin Luo shot Edgar a fierce look and walked away.

"Oh, right, next time, I hope Castle Morne can be restored to its original appearance!"

Lin Luo paused, but did not look back as he said.

"Are you... leaving now?"

Irena spoke, her tone carrying a hint of reluctance.

"Irena..."

Edgar glanced at his daughter but ultimately said nothing.

"I won't be staying in this small place..."

Lin Luo chuckled, resting his hands behind his head.

"My goal... is the vast ocean of stars!"

Thump...

Irena suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, Lord Lin Luo!"

Edgar also half-knelt on the ground. Lin Luo's kindness to them was undoubtedly like a second life.

"No matter what, Castle Morne will always open its doors to you. Even if the Erdtree abandons you, you will always be our most honored guest!"

Edgar placed one hand over his chest, which was undoubtedly the highest salute among Godrick's soldiers.

"Heh heh..."

Lin Luo laughed, "That's not necessary. My becoming the Elden Lord is inevitable!"

Lin Luo left with his words, carrying immense confidence and arrogance. This confidence directly infected Edgar.

His figure gradually faded into the distance in the eyes of Irena and Edgar...

"Daughter, let's go..."

Edgar gently patted Irena's head. He could tell that his daughter's heart had already followed Lin Luo...

It was a pity that Irena was born humble and ultimately did not express the love in her heart. Perhaps, she would carry this love to her grave...

"..." Seeing Irena's abnormal state, Edgar did not continue the conversation. He simply hugged Irena gently and patted her back.

"Sob sob..." Irena also began to sob. She understood that Lin Luo's heart already belonged to his witch...

"That girl seems to like you..."

Outside Castle Morne, Melina's figure reappeared, though the blush on her face had yet to fade...

"It's nothing!..."

Lin Luo immediately denied it. He absolutely refused to be a scumbag. His heart only held Melina... and Ranni.

Chuckle...

Seeing Lin Luo like this, Melina couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just felt like this might not be good for her..."

"Accepting it would be worse for her..."

Lin Luo glanced at Melina, then looked back at Castle Morne behind them, and casually put his arm around Melina.

"..."

Lin Luo said nothing, but Melina understood his meaning.

Whistle! (Couldn't find a good onomatopoeia for whistling, so this will have to do.)

He blew the Spirit Calling Bell, and Torrent appeared out of thin air. However, this time, Torrent was surprisingly humanized, looking at Lin Luo with surprise.

[Hey! How did this guy manage to charm Melina! Good heavens, as expected of the master I chose, he's got skills!]

Lin Luo was naturally unaware of Torrent's rich inner monologue. He just felt deeply insulted by the horse's strange gaze.

Smack!

"What are you looking at! Let's go!"

Lin Luo clicked his tongue, gripped the reins with his right hand, pulled hard, and casually pulled Melina onto Torrent's back as well.

If you enjoyed this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

"Hmph!"

Torrent snorted in displeasure. But a horse had to bow its head under a roof; all it could do was grunt.

"Oh, you still have some fight left in you..."

Lin Luo chuckled and took out a piece of fruit from his satchel.

"Here, look at you getting all worked up."

Torrent's eyes lit up, and he quickly swallowed the fruit whole.

[Hmph, you damn Tarnished, I'll let this slide for now! ╯^╰]

"How could Torrent be bought off so easily..."

Melina giggled and patted Torrent's little horn.

Hearing Melina's words, Torrent became a little anxious.

[Damn it, it's only been two days, and haven't you been bought off too!]

[Melina's retort: Didn't you just get bought off the moment you saw Lin Luo!]

"Hahaha!"

Lin Luo burst out laughing.

"I know his character inside and out. If he stamps his hooves, I know exactly what he's going to say!"

"Torrent is a spirit steed... he doesn't stamp his hooves..."

Melina looked at Lin Luo and said earnestly...

Lin Luo found Melina's serious expression rather cute...

"Mwah~"

With lightning speed, Lin Luo planted a kiss right on Melina's cheek.

"You..."

Melina shot Lin Luo an embarrassed glare. She tried to dismount, but Lin Luo grabbed her and pulled on the reins.

"Let's go! Torrent!"

"Hya!"

Torrent neighed excitedly, his hooves digging into the ground. With a patter, the two and the horse gradually disappeared into the Weeping Peninsula...

After an unknown amount of time, Torrent stopped in Limgrave.

The place looked familiar, but they hadn't reached Stormhill yet.

"Where is this...?"

Melina asked, looking at the ruins nearby.

"Let's get off here for now..."

Lin Luo dismounted and helped Melina down at the same time.

"The ruins of the Stranded Graveyard, huh..."

Lin Luo said, "That's right, this is our destination!"

"Here?"

Lin Luo smiled. "My teacher is here..."

"Your... teacher?"

Lin Luo said seriously, "She might not recognize me now, but I must remember the magic she taught me and how good she was to me!"

"Is that so..."

Melina rested her chin on her hand and nodded gently.

Lin Luo took out the famous sword Moonveil from his satchel. If he remembered correctly, there was a hidden door here, but it was guarded by many poisonous flowers...

"Moonlight Slash!"

Lin Luo flashed forward in a iaijutsu stance, and a blue-white sword energy instantly slashed out.

The sword energy cut through the poisonous flowers like tofu, severing the roots of several of them. Before they could even release their poisonous gas, they dissipated into specks of light...

With the largest ones dealt with, the smaller ones were naturally no trouble. In a flash, Lin Luo cleared away the surrounding small poisonous flowers.

"It should be here..."

Lin Luo sheathed his famous sword and tapped the ground lightly with the scabbard.

"Crack..."

With a forceful poke, a crisp shattering sound echoed, and a two-person-wide hole appeared in the previously smooth ground.

"You seem very familiar with this place..."

"Of course..."

Lin Luo smiled and led Melina inside.

If you can't find the book by its name, try searching for the author; perhaps the title has changed!
