Lucian felt terrified as he crossed the swaying suspension bridge.
As Torrent walked, the bridge not only rocked but also let out intermittent creaks.
Lucian kept feeling that, as he walked, some enormous white serpent would emerge from the gorge beside the bridge and snap it in two.
Wrong game. This was the Lands Between, not Ashina.
Lucian looked down beneath the bridge. It was high, but not so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
A vast cluster of Miranda Flowers, large and small, filled the bottom, constantly spewing poisonous pollen until the toxic fumes shrouded the gorge like a dense fog.
No longer looking at those Miranda Flowers, Lucian raised his head and looked ahead.
The church that was his destination stood at the end of the road beyond the bridge. He only needed to follow the uphill path to reach it.
Yet something even more eye-catching than the church entered Lucian's view at the same time.
It was an immensely thick, towering tree. Its trunk rose straight upward, branching only near the crown, where it was covered in golden leaves.
A Minor Erdtree.
An Erdtree Avatar usually guarded a Minor Erdtree. Slaying the avatar could yield Tears with all kinds of special effects.
Lucian carefully tried to remember which Tear this avatar dropped, but after thinking for a long while, he still could not recall it.

After all, he could not judge Godrick by the game's numbers. Even if Godrick was weaker than the other demigods, he was still a genuine demigod.
Still, he would finish the
