Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 129 Gaileed

After listening to the witch's words, Bai Shi quickly recalled the plot related to her in his mind.

This is the witch of Bernal, who volunteered to throw herself into the fire, but was not qualified to become the source of the fire.

In the end, you can only keep looking for ways to burn yourself here.

He did not give up until his skin was torn apart, waiting for the day when he could sacrifice himself for Bernal.

Bernal was the first combat skills teacher that Bai Shi wanted to find after coming to this world.

Although he is a rebel, he maintains the code of chivalry and the dignity of a hero.

He will also patiently teach the Faded who want to learn combat skills, instead of killing them like ordinary rebels.

It’s a pity that Bai Shi hasn’t seen him until now.

Bai Shi likes the two quasi-kings, Bernal and Vic, very much.

It is a different feeling from that towards other characters, so respect would be more appropriate.

There aren't many stories about these two people in the game, but just from this short storyline you can learn about their eventful lives.

The two people who were closest to the king both embarked on an unacceptable path because of their witches.

Vic was gifted with insane fire and tried to burn the golden tree with his own body.

And Bernal raised the banner of rebellion against the Golden Tree.

Without judging whether their actions were right or wrong, the determination of these two people is undoubtedly moving.

This is not a heroic story, but it will eventually make a hero.

However, Bai Shi didn't know much about this witch who only existed in abandoned cases.

Now Bai Shi has indeed never seen Bernal.

But Bai Shi knew where to find Bernal.

Anyway, as long as we go to the Volcano Residence, we will definitely find him.

But Bai Shi hesitated whether to tell her.

"No, sorry, I haven't seen any other Faders around here."

In the end, Bai Shi told her the truth without telling her Bernal's location.

If possible in the future, Bai Shi will definitely help Bernal and his witch.

But now is not the time.

The witch lowered her head in disappointment.

"I see. It seems that Lord Bernard still doesn't want to see me."

"That's true. After all, I'm a useless person. Not only can I not help him in battle, I can't even become a fire..."

"I am not worthy of such a noble man, so it is normal for him to leave me..."

Bai Shi listened to the witch complaining to herself and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After all, he has no relationship with her, and this is a matter between the two of them.

Otherwise, ask about her safety.

"Are you going to leave here? This area is not very safe. It's best not to stay here all the time."

The witch of Bernal shook her head firmly.

"No, I haven't become a spark yet. If I haven't become a spark..."

"I, I will not leave here. This way, Master Bernard will be able to find me when he returns."

It looked like she would never leave here.

Bai Shi looked at the strips of cloth wrapped around the witch.

There were traces of burnt blood and some solidified black blood stains on it.

On his hands, there was still hot red blood that had not yet solidified.

"Are the injuries on your body all right?"

Bai Shi just wanted to continue the topic.

But after he said it, he suddenly regretted it.

The witch of Bernal was trying to light the cauldron by burning herself with the lion's fire.

It would be bad if the witch of Bernal opened up the topic and talked about the matter.

Melina is still around, she has not yet returned to the Royal City to find her mission.

If she knew about the flame now, would she immediately remember this mission?

After all, Melina was the girl created for this purpose.

Fortunately, Bernal's witch only briefly talked about the wound and was unwilling to say more.

"…Thank you for your concern."

"This is a scar from the flames, caused by the continuous burning of the flames."

"Just use healing prayers to heal the wounds, but I can't let the flames go out."

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you why I did this..."

The only one the witches of Bernal wanted to be the King of Elden was Bernal.

So when she realized that if she continued talking the news would be leaked, she stopped talking.

The person in front of him is also a fader. It is hard to say what he will think after knowing the function of the fire.

Bai Shi also breathed a sigh of relief.

The witch of Bernal had not given any useful information.

He didn't want Melina to know about this so early.

He wasn't ready yet.

Bai Shi thought about it and decided to say goodbye to the witch.

"In that case, I should leave too."

Originally, Bai Shi wanted to stay in this smoky church for one night.

How should I put it? I always feel that the atmosphere is a bit too heavy, and it feels weird to stay here.

In the end, Bai Shi took Torrett by the hand and left the Smokehouse Church together.

Bai Shi returned to a position slightly in front of the burning fire wall and sat down on the spot.

Don't rush across the wall of fire to Gallid, as there is scarlet corruption everywhere.

Since we have to rest anyway, we might as well rest here on the Nimgfu side.

Because he had rested at the Blessing Place before leaving Shuihuan Village, Baishi's current state is actually very good.

But Bai Shi has always maintained the habit of resting whenever he can.

Only at this time can he relax.

Torrett lay on the ground, exposing his soft belly.

Horses are animals that will sleep standing up if they are alert.

But Torrett is Torrett. If he wants to sleep, he will definitely lie down and relax.

Maybe it trusts Bai Shizhi, anyway, it never seems to worry about its safety.

Bai Shi didn't hesitate and leaned directly on Torret's belly, using it as a backrest.

Soon, Bai Shi felt Melina also sit down and lean against him.

I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling Melina’s presence more and more lately.

It may be related to the enhanced sensitivity.

Originally, Bai Shi's perception was only seven points, but Da Rune directly added another seven points.

It is equivalent to doubling the sensing attribute of white consciousness.

As for the attribute of perception, Bai Shi actually has never really understood its role in this world.

It is impossible to increase the drop rate and the efficiency of applying abnormal status like in the game.

There is no need to talk about the drops, this is the real world, just strip the body and that's it.

As for abnormal states, you need to observe the opponent's movements and attack their weaknesses.

However, as long as one is clever enough and has some common sense about physiology, there is no need to sense this inexplicable property.

According to Bai Shi's personal experience, these have much more to do with dexterity than with sensitivity.

Maybe induction is something like clairvoyance or sanity?

"Bai Shi, can you give me your hand?"

Bai Shi took off his gauntlet and extended his right hand.

A warmth emerges from the soul.

Seeing the witch of Bernal, Melina seemed to have some feelings.

"The burns on her body..."

"I have burns on my body as well."

"And when I saw her, I had an inexplicable feeling... like a foreshadowing of something."

Merlin's spirit also had burn marks on her hands.

Bai Shi knew this a long time ago.

Bai Shi became a little nervous. Could it be that Melina had already thought of something?
Melina is very smart. If she really connects this with her own situation and thinks of something, she might be able to deduce it quickly.

Melina continued:

"If what she said is true, she can't tell us the reason why she set herself on fire, but it is related to her fader..."

"Then maybe she set herself on fire, which was a great help to her faded ones, but she failed."

"I just don't know why I want to light myself on fire, and I don't know what the purpose of lighting myself on fire is."

"But the weird thing is, I'm not surprised by what she said about lighting herself on fire."

"On the contrary, I inexplicably feel that it is as it should be, as if..."

Bai Shi interrupted Melina. "No such thing will happen."

"They must have taken the wrong path for some reason, which is why this happened."

"There is absolutely no way that you can accomplish something by burning others."

"Absolutely not."

Melina squeezed Bai Shi's hand tightly.

"...Well, I believe you."
-
The light of the golden tree shone again, shining on the border area.

Torrett climbed high over the wall of burning fire and officially arrived at Gaileyd, a land polluted by scarlet corruption.

The air in Gayleed smells pretty bad.

It was a very strange taste.

The faint scent of decay from scarlet corruption, the stench of a rotting corpse, the smell of something burning from flames.

All the smells mixed together to create a very unpleasant smell, just like the chaotic and miserable state of Gallid now.

Everywhere Bai Shi's eyes reached was covered in scarlet corruption.

Looking forward, there is a terrace made of wood and a few small houses next to it, which are quite simple.

Looking further ahead, there is a small golden tree.

Just like the one on the Weeping Peninsula, although it is called the Little Golden Tree, it is extremely tall.

Especially in a place like Gaileed where there is almost no grass, this little golden tree looks even taller.

But against the backdrop of the red sky, this little golden tree looks very lonely.

According to Bai Shiji, there seems to be a small golden tree underground tomb there.

But there's nothing good in there, so there's no need to go out of your way to get there.

Bai Shi and Torrett walked along the avenue.

They didn't have Gallid's map at the moment, so it would be most accurate to follow the avenue.

Although Hilbert has been studying in Galide for a long time, she has always been a person who does things as she goes along.

So she didn't draw a map at all, nor did she have the intention to draw a map.

While telling Bai Shi where she lived, she also told Bai Shi how to get there along the avenue.

It's a little troublesome because I can't take a shortcut.

But if you are not familiar with the place, you should just follow the main path.

Although there are no creatures here that can threaten Bai Shi, it would be bad if we waste time because of getting lost.

As we passed by the small houses next to the terraces, an even stronger smell of corpses wafted out.

Bai Shi took a quick look.

There were a few lumps of muddy flesh in the broken house, wriggling and crawling.

In the meat paste, there were also things like bones churning around.

On the side, there were several wild dogs with red eyes constantly gnawing at them.

These pieces of meat are the immortals.

Or it should be said that they were once immortals wandering in the intersection.

What was once the gift of immortality has now become a curse.

The collapse of the tree-returning system at the border meant that they could no longer find their rightful destination.

Whether it's being destroyed by wild beasts or crushed into meat paste.

Or if they are eaten and then excreted, they still remain immortal.

Even though their bodies have become like this, they have merged with each other and turned into another kind of life, continuing to wander on the border.

How sad.

They don't want to become like this either.

But their immortality forces them to survive no matter what form they take.

Continuing to move forward, Bai Shi soon encountered a large group of rotten immortals on the road.

There were so many of them and their bodies were already in a state of advanced decay.

All the clothes he wore before had turned to ashes over time. Now he was completely naked, with even his bones exposed.

His body was even covered with scarlet corruption.

The scarlet corruption clung tightly to their bodies, and all kinds of pus and plants grew on them.

But even so, it couldn't stop them from wandering around.

They seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but were loosely following the leading immortal in front.

The immortal was wearing something that should have been a piece of gold jewelry.

In their hands they held a rotten wooden stick, no, or rather, that used to be their flag.

The immortal who was leading the group probably no longer knew where to go.

They appear to have just emerged from the Ionian swamps after a failed attempt to kill themselves with Crimson Corruption.

Now they were moving towards Gaileed's wall of burning fire, trying to find the next possibility of killing them.

It was only the first time I entered Gaileed, and such tragic situations had already occurred one after another.

Bai Shi frowned, but could do nothing about it.

If you want them to rest in peace, you must bring back the correct death at the border.

This is not something he can do now.

He now had no choice but to move on.

But the road is not without danger.

When Torret was speeding on the road, a "big mouth" suddenly appeared under his feet and bit towards him.

Torrett jumped over lightly.

At the same time, a huge dog-like creature rushed out from the side.

It has short front legs, a huge head, and always runs on its two hind legs. It looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex from the past.

Therefore, this creature is known as the Overlord Dog.

It aimed at Torrett and pounced on him while he was in the air.

If it were an ordinary horse, it would surely die miserably, but this was Torrett.

Torrett easily jumped onto the top of the bully dog with a double jump.

The Baizhi sword spear thrust downwards, piercing its forehead accurately.

The bully dog collapsed on the ground. Although it was dead, its body was still struggling.

"Joint hunting?"

White consciousness made Torrett stop and see clearly the thing that attacked them.

That's a flower.

It looks somewhat similar to the Miranda flower seen in the outside world.

But the difference is that the whole plant becomes very flat, as if only the flower part on top is retained.

I don’t know if it’s because the roots are planted underground or if it really grows like this.

After failing to hit its target in its first attack, the carnivorous plant slowly flattened its petals and continued to spread them on the ground, waiting for its next ambush.

Soon, the flower spread out all its petals on the ground.

Then, in a hazy mist, the petals gradually took on the appearance of a stone road.

From the appearance, it is difficult to find any difference from other stones without careful observation.

“Is it actually mimicry?”

"Before and after it attacked, it didn't even have the slightest killing intent. Can you say it's worthy of being a plant?"

It's not just the Immortals who have been infected by the Scarlet Corruption and have become strange in appearance.

The ecological environment here has undergone even greater changes.

Bai Shi took out a bottle of incense from the bag hanging on Torrett's body.

It was the withering incense that Hilbert had given him before.

Now that you have seen the plants, you can't miss them.

Just try it a little, it smells withered.

After scattering some withered incense in the air, Bai Shi summoned the wind and used it to blow all the incense to the ground near the flower.

As drops of scented medicine fell onto the ground next to the flower, they soon took effect.

In just a dozen seconds, the carnivorous plant suddenly stopped its mimicry.

All the branches and leaves began to twitch, slowly turned black and became dry.

Soon the flower that once attacked passers-by on the road had completely withered.

It turned into a withered, yellow and burnt flower and dried up.

"Oh? I didn't expect the effect to be so good."

It seems that this method can be used in the future when clearing out plant debris.

Although the plants are not strong, if there are too many of them, it will be very troublesome and a waste of energy to clean them up one by one.

Putting away the incense, Bai Shi continued to move towards the Ionian Crimson Swamp.

Hilbert lived in a ruin next to the Ionian Crimson Swamp.

The ruins are quite close to the Ionian Swamps, and you can descend into the scarlet corruption by just walking a few steps out of the door.

In Hilbert's words, living here is very convenient for experiments.

No one knows how she managed to live there.
