Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 112 Coastal Cave
Bai Shi agreed to Blaze's request.

He was also very interested in the Hound Knight.

Hound Knights are knights who have undergone special hound training methods and are famous for their relentless pursuit and fighting style.

It is said that any hound knight who chooses his master will never betray him.

But what exactly is going on?

If the Hound Knights really won't betray, then what exactly is the matter with Darriwell that Blaze is pursuing?

If he really hadn't betrayed her, then Lani should have stopped Blaze's behavior.

It would be extremely foolish to weaken one's strength due to inexplicable internal strife, and Lani would not sit idly by and watch this happen.

But if Darriwell really betrayed Lani, then why was he imprisoned in the Sealed Prison and avoided Blaze's pursuit?

Bai Shi has now been to two sealed prisons, and it can be said that he has a certain say in the sealed prisons.

Based on Bai Shi's understanding of the Sealed Prison, it is basically impossible to lock oneself in.

In the game plot, there is an NPC who was imprisoned in the sealed prison by others, and that is the "half-wolf" Blaze.

In the later stage of the Lani branch, Blaze was imprisoned in a sealed prison by the blacksmith Iggy, in order to prevent him from hurting Lani as he was about to be driven crazy by the two fingers.

And what a coincidence is that the sealed prison where Blaze was imprisoned was the same prison where Darryl was once imprisoned.

If you say there is no connection at all, I won't believe it.

Bai Shi guessed that it was Iggy who put them both into the Sealed Prison one after another.

But exactly why Iggy did this remains unclear.

It’s not even clear if Iggy did it, it’s just a guess.

Bai Shi wanted to check on Darriwell's situation first before deciding whether to tell Blaze his location.

It would be great if we could learn something from him.

Bai Shi and Blaze walked out of the forest one after another, but saw an unexpected guy outside the forest.

He was wearing a bright red coat with a white scarf, orange pants, and a bright red plush hat with a few strange feathers on it. He was riding on a skinny donkey and looked like Santa Claus from his previous life.

It was Curry whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.

"Curry!"

Bai Shi called out to Ka Lie who seemed to be looking for something.

Kale looked back and was surprised to see Blaze and Baishi emerging from the dense forest.

"Bai Shi?"

Kale came over on his donkey and looked Bai Shi up and down.

"I heard that you became the king of Stonewell. That's surprising."

"And, uh, your clothes are pretty peculiar..."

Bai Shi smiled and said:

"Haha, I just stretched my body and didn't have time to change clothes."

Kale nodded and looked at Blaze again:

"Blazer, where did you go just now? Are you lost again?"

Blaze silently turned his head and looked at the huge moon hanging in the sky.

Bai Shi looked at Blaze with interest:

“Do you often get lost?”

"Of course not possible."

Blaze retorted immediately.

However, Kale ruthlessly exposed Blaze.

"This guy often gets lost, but he's really reliable in other aspects. We've known each other for a long time."

"Blazer wanted to come find you. He heard that I knew you, so he wanted me to come and introduce you to him. But he suddenly ran away halfway through the journey."

"And I heard that you opened Stonewell to all races, so I thought I'd stop by to see if I could do some business."

"Since you have already met, it seems that there is no need for me to lead the way and introduce you."

After hearing what Kale said, Bai understood.

It seems that with her own publicity, many people are still attracted to Stonewell.

"Well, there was a reason why I left earlier, but anyway, I have found Mr. Bai Shi and achieved the purpose of this trip."

"Then you guys chat, I'll take my leave first."

Blaze seemed to have discovered his weakness and felt a little embarrassed, so he turned and walked into the woods.

I have to say, there is some cute contrast.
-
Bai Shi chatted with Kale briefly and asked Kale to report his name to the city.

Someone will receive him then.

During the previous battle with the Night Cavalry, Bai Shi had asked the Ancient King to send the Storm Eagle back to the city to deliver the message.

Storm Eagle and Storm Knight are ancient allies, and they have a way of communicating with each other using the wind.

Just like how Edgar interpreted the ancient king's information before.

Stonewell's men were quickly transferred from the city.

Perfumer Evan, accompanied by two Storm Knights and a team of Storm Soldiers, came to the place where the Night Riders had previously killed people.

Stonewell has some ordinary doctors, but their level is really not satisfactory.

So Bai Shi pulled the perfumer Evan over from Moren City early.

He and the lion hybrid Singh were used, which led to the tragedy in Morn City.

Although he has been trying his best to atone for his sins, he is definitely not welcome in the city of Moren.

There was basically no more fighting in the city of Moren, so there was no use for him.

Bai Shi asked him to come to Stonewell to train those doctors, improve their professional quality, and see if he could cultivate a group of perfumers.

There are relatively few people who can be seen blessed among the Faded Ones. If there is no blessing for them to recover, treatment methods will be necessary.

Not to mention that there are many more types of soldiers in Stonewell that are not Faded.

As the healing incense was sprinkled one after another, the Faded Ones and Kaidan mercenaries who were seriously injured but not yet dead were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Those with particularly serious injuries needed to stay and be treated on the spot, while those with missing limbs were carried to Stonewell by the newly arrived Kaidan mercenaries.

As for those who can still move on their own, they will follow the mercenaries back to Stonewell, where someone will arrange for them.

The remaining bodies will have to be buried or burned tomorrow.

The storm troopers held torches high to illuminate the area, making rescue easier.

Hakan was still in charge of the on-site command, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

Bai Shi sat on the side of the road, feeling helpless.

Such a large group of Faded Ones were actually targeted by the Night Cavalry on the road.

A part of the Kaidan mercenaries who had just been recruited were also involved.

Distressed.

Should we say this is worthy of being the real world? Following his movements, Mungert also took corresponding actions.

The number of Night Riders is definitely not so large that there can be ten of them in every place.

It must be because Nimgefu has the most Faded Ones that most of the Night Riders were sent here.

Now that I think about it, there might be a large number of troops stationed next to the big elevator on the Yatan Plateau, waiting for Bai Shi to get up.

Maybe I should take the other path and go to the Yatan Plateau first to see the situation.

Hakan gave the on-site orders and sat down next to Bai Shi in a decadent manner.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry..."

Bai Shi patted his shoulder.

"It's not your fault. Fortunately you guys arrived in time, otherwise there wouldn't be a single survivor now."

There was no other way. It was really too difficult for them to fight against the Night Riders. Hakan and his men even killed a Night Rider, which was already impressive.

But Hakan doesn't think so.

"Because I'm not strong enough, so many people died..."

"If I were strong enough, they wouldn't have died."

"I want to become stronger, Bai Shi."

Bai Shi didn't know what to say for a moment.

He regarded Hakan as a friend rather than a subordinate, and letting him lead the Kaidan mercenaries was to give him something to do.

Bai Shi doesn't need them to fight on the battlefield at all. Compared to being strong or not, staying alive is more important.

Apart from the Faded Ones who can use runes to strengthen themselves, how much stronger can these indigenous people who are not demigods become through practice?
The Tree Guards and Night Riders are almost their limit.

But if Hakan wants to become stronger, there is no reason to stop him.

Hakan was a warrior after all.

It would be too selfish to stop him from moving forward just because of your own ideas.

But becoming stronger is very difficult, and Bai Shi doesn't know how to make him stronger.

If you are blinded by power, you will easily find unorthodox ways to become stronger like Greg.

Is there any way for the indigenous people to increase their strength and exceed their upper limit?

Limb Reattachment, Dragon Feast, Crazy Fire, God Devouring Serpent...

But the final outcome is self-destruction.

Hakan looked at Bai Shi with pleading eyes.

The first companions and newly recruited subordinates.

Twice, his compatriots kept dying in front of him, but he was lucky enough to survive every time.

"Bai Shi, how did you become so strong?"

Bai Shi was silent.

Melina, Lani, and other people he met after coming to the border, faces flashed by.

"I have people I want to protect, and I have reasons to fight."

"Maybe it's these things that keep pushing me and making me unable to stop that support me to become stronger."

Hakan thought about it and found that there was nothing behind him that could protect him.

"Ugh."
-
Bai Shi and the others returned to the camp, took a short rest, and changed into the clothes brought by the Storm Knights.

When it got light, Bai Shi took Burke to the cave.

Burke sat in front of Bai Shi and described to him the area near the cave in his memory.

"I remember the cave was on a beach, and there were some big octopuses next to it."

"There are many small octopuses next to those big octopuses. They seem to be their children."

"There doesn't seem to be anything else around."

Although Burke's description was very abstract and contained no useful information, Bai Shi knew the location of the cave, so he found it easily.

"Yes, that's right!"

"Amazing! How did you do that?"

Bai Shi pretended to be profound and said:
"intuition."

Outside the cave, several demihumans were digging in the sand on the beach, occasionally grabbing some small creatures and putting them in their mouths to chew.

Seeing Burke and Bai Shi, the demihumans stood up from the ground, grabbed their weapons, and started shouting and waving their weapons.

Burke stepped forward and began to communicate in their subhuman language.

Bai Shi didn't understand, so he just stood aside and watched silently.

When the demihumans heard what Burke said, they looked at each other and burst into laughter.

But when they saw Bai Shi behind Burke, they stopped laughing.

They gathered in a circle and discussed for a while, then finally walked into the cave, turning back and waving to Bai Shi and Burke to follow.

Bai Shi vaguely heard two deliberately suppressed laughs.

Burke returned to Bai Shi and said to him happily:
"That's great! They said they were willing to give my things back to me and let us go in with them."

Bai Shi felt that these demihumans would not hand over the things so easily.

But she still nodded. With him following her, nothing would happen.

The two followed the demihumans and entered the cave.

It was very dark inside the cave, so Bai Shi took out the torch he had brought with him and lit it to illuminate the cave.

Large patches of moss grow on the stone walls, emitting a faint fluorescence.

These mosses are the raw materials for making various antidotes. If we can tame the demihumans and continue to produce them in the future, they will be considered good resources.

Bai Shi intended to subdue these demi-humans as well.

Although he didn't know what they were for, Bai Shi believed that he would be able to find suitable jobs for them in the future.

Moreover, this cave can lead to a small island with the Dragon Feast Church, so it must be under its jurisdiction.

The dragon feast is a very tempting and dangerous ritual.

The cave is very deep and interconnected with many branches, and no one knows where it leads to.

Looking back, there is a new fork in the road. If you turn around here a few times, you will definitely not reach
Except for the fact that no women were captured, it really was just like the Goblin Cave in various novels.

Bai Shi and Burke turned a corner when suddenly a large net came over them.

"oops!"

Burke's frightened cry came.

Hearing Burke's shout, the demihumans thought they had succeeded and poked their heads out from behind the corner laughing.

But after seeing the web shattered into pieces and the calm white consciousness, the smiles froze on their faces.

They let out a strange cry and immediately ran away.

"I was shocked. These guys really like to bully people as always."

Burke covered his lower back. He was startled and bumped into the stone wall behind him.

"You must have been bullied by them before."

"Yes, that's right. They are about my age. Because my mother and I don't get along well, they always tease me."

"So, do you hate them? If you hate them, I can help you get rid of them."

Burke waved his hands.

“No, no, please don’t do that. Although they did bully me, from the perspective of subhumans, I am actually the outlier…”

"Please don't kill them. They are my compatriots after all."

Bai Shi sighed as he looked at Burke, who was pleading for mercy for the demihumans who had just played a trick on him.

Burke is such a kind kid.

Forget it, I’ll just punish those sub-humans later and not kill them.

Soon, new noises were heard from the depths of the cave.

Two huge demi-human leaders followed the other demi-humans and ran over.

The demi-humans pointed at Bai Shi and Burke and started chattering.

Burke's face changed and he looked a little nervous.

"Mr. Bai Shi, they said we were invading the cave. Should we run away?"

Bai Shi walked forward, grabbed a demihuman leader by the neck with one hand, lifted them up and threw them to the ground.

All the subhumans were stunned.
