I've Never Found Invasions Fun

The method Leon mentioned for entering Irithyll of the Boreal Valley refers to obtaining a specific item.

That is, the "Small Doll" that the forces of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley gave to the people dressed as church members in the video that appeared after defeating Overlord Wolnir.

As for how they found out about this...

On the Irithyll Zane Dungeon.

Those who do not possess Doll are not permitted to enter Irithyll.

"Captain, why didn't we notice this message when we first arrived?"

Bei Er Tuo, from the Skyrim Strategy Team, stared at the brightly lit admonition on the ground and asked.

"Yes, why didn't we see it?"

Lu Lu Wo rubbed her eyes. The advice, meant to be a clue, was lying openly on the bridge. Why didn't they notice it when they first came here?

For a moment, she even doubted whether her eyeballs were real.

"I guess I've just been really exhausted lately."

Yes, the method to enter Irithyll was written as advice on the bridge from the very beginning.

Because the advice in the Zane Dungeon adopts the form of the Elden Ring, it doesn't look as conspicuous as other Soul Wanderers.

However, this advice wasn't deliberately hidden; the fact that it could be ignored suggests that Lu Lu Wo and the others were truly exhausted that day.

Several things have happened recently that have been very discouraging to them.

One reason is that he failed to take down the first clear of Overlord Wolnir, and the identity of the first clearer was also discovered. It's more accurate to say that Leon never intended to hide anything.

Leon directly wrote down the first-clear reward in his own strategy guide, which was tantamount to self-destruction.

In addition to the usual Tear Drop Larva as a first-clear reward, there is also an item called [Overlord Finger Bone]. Its effect is that humanoid monsters belonging to Carthus, such as Skeleton Warrior and Carthus Warrior in the Catacombs of Carthus of Carthus, will not attack the wearer on their own initiative, and will even bow to the wearer.

In addition, it can increase the chance of obtaining rare items after killing monsters, which is the most important point. Leon has already had the experience of killing Skeleton Warrior after wearing the Overlord Finger Bone and obtaining a rare Somber Smithing Stone.

This brings us to the second reason for targeting Lu Lu Wo: Leon and his group released their strategy guide before they could, and...

Their sales are even higher than theirs!

Lu Lu Wo read Leon's strategy guide over and over again, and finally understood why she had suffered such a crushing defeat this time.

In addition to the fact that this guide is of a higher quality than the Skyrim Strategy Team in every aspect, Leon's summary of the Overlord Wolnir strategy is also more universal.

His fighting style is very similar to Lu Lu Wo's, which is to destroy the bracelet.

The threshold for using Lu Lu Wo is too high. Not to mention that Poké Ball are actually rare items, catching enough Rust Monster also takes a lot of effort. If you use all the Rust Monster in one battle and fail, the sunk cost will be too high, and most people can't afford it.

So how did Leon manage to do it?

This is actually due to the blessing of luck.

They were invaded by the Dark Spirit Patch in the Catacombs of Carthus.

Generally, Patch will run away from the adventurer's world before being seriously injured, but if you can defeat it before it runs away, you can obtain an item.

[Broken Pot Crafting Manual]

This is the tool that Patch used to Iliphis's equipment. When the broken pot is smashed, it releases yellow gas, and equipment that comes into contact with the gas will quickly decay and age.

The materials used to make this pot are not rare, and the speed at which a broken pot can be made is incredibly fast compared to collecting Poké Ball to catch Rust Monster.

Although the effect of a broken pot is not as good as that of Rust Monster, it is easier to make and more suitable for the general public.

Leon even dedicated a separate page to the standard throwing motion of the pot, the best time to use it, and so on, which shows how profound his understanding of pot-type props is.

After he made the broken pots public, some businessmen started making and selling them, which indirectly contributed to the increase in the number of people challenging Wolnir.

This time, Lu Lu Wo was completely defeated!

However, to this day, people have not found out where to obtain the [Small Doll].

Perhaps the Catacombs of Carthus haven't been fully developed yet? But the adventurers felt they had already cleared out this not-so-large area.

The third thing that hit Lu Lu Wo was...

"Captain, are you really going to sell the Wolnir Holy Sword?"

"Ah, we absolutely have to sell it," Lu Lu Wo face ashen. "I've never won a single invasion with it, what's the point of using it anymore?"

After obtaining the Wolnir Holy Sword, Lu Lu Wo found a suitable headgear and happily began her invasion.

The first time she encountered Leon and his companions, the outcome was predictable.

Even though she used all five or six of her soul arts, Leon and his companions always seemed to have a way to counter it. And when they discovered that Lu Lu Wo was deliberately running to cliffs and steep slopes in an attempt to use Wrath of the Gods to make them fall off, Leon also drew the Wolnir Holy Sword, and together they poured magic into it to unleash a massive Wrath of the Gods.

Then, Lu Lu Wo, in a state of shock, was beaten and fell off a cliff to her death.

After her resurrection, she reflected deeply on her mistakes and, after a period of rest, began her second invasion.

This time, she encountered her nightmare— the Mysterious Hooded Man, the original Mysterious Hooded Man!

As a result, Lu Lu Wo couldn't overcome her psychological pressure and chose to run away.

Why does the location of the Mysterious Hooded Man seem a bit strange, and why does his build look like one of my acquaintances?

During her third invasion, she encountered a being that made her scream – the Sword Saint Gapar!

Didn't you leave Bede City to lay low for a while, you old codger? How come you're back in Saien?

"I was just passing through the Leyndell and came in for a quick look. I never expected it to be invaded."

Jia Paer revealed a benevolent expression and chuckled as he beheaded Lu Lu Wo with a single blow.

Having suffered three consecutive crushing defeats, if his Dao heart is not shattered, he can continue to fight the invasion. (Thumbs up)

It was only after this that Lu Lu Wo realized that her strength seemed to be above average, neither the best nor the worst, which is why she was matched with monsters and demons during invasions.

"I will never hack again. I've never had any fun hacking."

And so, a young knight who had almost fallen into evil ways saw the error of his ways and returned home.

Lu Lu Wo's breach of the Great Defense indirectly affected the operation of the Skyrim Strategy Team. In the end, Bei Er Tuo took on the heavy responsibility. Recently, he discovered that Ta Mi has some talent in assisting with the management of the Strategy Team's operations and plans to train him properly.

While the Skyrim Strategy Team was wavering, the veteran Strategy Team was thriving.

The Zane Dungeon, Farron Keep.

It took Leon a lot of effort to remove the armor that had been melted by the high temperature and was almost unrecognizable. His underwear was also burned to ashes by the flames. Malu, who was next to him, quickly handed him some clothes.

The four people present, including Leon, Malu, Delu, and Te Er, were all covered in soot. Although they had recovered somewhat after being revived by the campfire, their damaged equipment was beyond repair.

"Fortunately, I changed into an old set of armor before challenging the Sunlight King Farron Undead Legion."

Leon fiddled with his golden hair, his expression somewhat melancholy, and muttered to himself:

"I originally wanted to try using Overlord Wolnir's weapon to challenge the Undead Legion to see if it would have any miraculous effect, but it just angered them instead."

After obtaining the Wolnir Holy Sword, he thought of the Farron Undead Legion. After Overlord Wolnir and the Farron Undead Legion were old rivals. The Holy Sword was also wrapped with a substance that resembled the Abyss but could not affect adventurers. The Undead Legion had gone mad because they were corrupted by the Abyss, so he wanted to test whether the Holy Sword would have any special attack effects against the Undead Legion.

And what was the result?

The special attack wasn't seen, perhaps because his strength was too low to be very effective, but another obvious consequence was...

When the Wolnir Holy Sword appeared, the Farron Undead Legion went berserk.

To put it simply, the raging flames in their berserk state were enough to make them breathless, let alone fight.

They didn't even last a few seconds before they died instantly.

So much so that when Leon now looks up at the Undead Legion on the throne, his eyes are filled with a mixture of respect and fear.

"Now that I think about it, using Overlord Wolnir's weapons to fight the Undead Legion was like jumping right into their faces to mock them," Malu said quietly.

Leon gave an awkward laugh; he hadn't considered things carefully.

"Let's go back then, I'm tired today."

Although it was still morning, he felt completely exhausted after fighting the Undead Legion.

Although there were bonfires below Farron Keep, they could not be teleported to any of them except for a few specific ones. They could only walk back to the Firelink Shrine step by step.

On the way back, Leon looked around at his surroundings and felt that everything was very familiar. He knew every trap, monster, and item in every corner better than he knew his own home. If there were any changes in Farron Keep, he would definitely be able to detect them immediately.

"Um?"

He suddenly turned his head, pointed to a spot, and asked, "Was there originally this road there?"

Road?

Everyone looked over and saw a path close to the mountain wall appearing, hidden among the nearly dead trees of the Farron Keep.

"Boss, I don't remember, meow." Malu scratched her head in confusion.

"No, that was supposed to be a place where a crazed werewolf was bound up." Delu flipped open a self-made map, an internal version that hadn't been shared.

The vanished werewolves, the newly appeared paths—all of this means...

"A small-scale anomaly!?"

Leon showed a surprised expression, exchanged glances with everyone, and they all nodded.

When a new path appears before us, why not explore it?

Cut down the dead trees blocking the way, squeeze through the narrow rock face, and climb up the rough path.

The stench of the Swamp waters of the Farron Keep gradually faded away, the air became fresher, and slowly, vibrant flowers and plants appeared on the road.

When Leon and his companions finally climbed up and saw the open road in front of them, several large characters appeared before their eyes.

The Road of Sacrifices
