Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 134 The Rise and Fall of the Red Lion
The Crucible Knight and the Lion Hybrid looked at Jerryen and put away their weapons.

However, they were somewhat puzzled by what Jie Lian said, saying that they could not test Bai Shi's strength.

From their own perspective, although Baizhi was powerful and had skilled fighting skills, he was not injured under the siege.

But they also suppressed him so that he did not fight back.

It would be too shocking to say that this did not bring out his full strength.

In fact, if they were watching the game just now, they would have come to the same conclusion.

The fact that they can handle the situation with ease against a team that is strong and has good coordination says a lot.

But their minds were all focused on the fierce battle.

Naturally, his observation skills are not as good as Jie Lian who is watching from the sidelines.

As if seeing their confusion, Jie Lian began to explain to them:

"Although your fight was very brief, I happened to see it."

"The wind wall that was released at will is not something that ordinary people can do. If that storm is used to attack, it may not be as simple as blocking the flames."

"He didn't attack with the storm, and he didn't use his own weapons."

"In this situation, we can still handle it with ease and have some spare energy."

Jie Lian walked down the stairs step by step and stood in front of Bai Shi.

"Whether it is this extraordinary equipment or the powerful ability to control the storm, it is not something that ordinary people can master."

"So I guess you are the master of Stonewell, the new Storm King."

“I don’t know if I guessed wrong.”

Following Jie Lian's explanation, the Crucible Knight and the Lion Hybrid also knew Bai Shi's identity and suddenly realized it.

If it really is the Storm King, then it should be true.

After all, that day, the storm that pierced the sky and earth was something they could clearly see even in Galid.

Of course, they couldn't test the depth of someone with that kind of strength.

Bai Shi saw the three of them looking at him with questioning eyes, nodded and acknowledged it.

"Yes, it's me."

After getting Bai Shi's answer, the Lion Hybrid and the Furnace Knight looked at each other.

Although the battle was interrupted, they were not unhappy, but even happier.

If it was the Storm King who could use such a blow...

Then it will surely give General Latan an honorable and honourable end.

General Ratan had been lost for too long, and they were deeply saddened by it.

After confirming Bai Shi's identity, Jie Lian continued:

"Haha, it's true. It seems that even though I'm old, my eyesight hasn't declined."

"Since Lord Storm King has come to see me, he must have something to say."

Bai Shi nodded.

"Indeed."

"In that case, please follow me. This is not the place to chat."

Jie Lian said, then turned around and led the way.

The Lion Hybrid and the Furnace Knight retreated to the left and right, making way for Bai Shi.

Bai Shi followed Jie Lian's footsteps and walked up the stairs.

Going up the steps, there is a wide platform and a church.

The place where Jie Lian brought Bai Shi was inside that church.

Jie Lian brought a sturdier chair that would at least not fall apart and placed it in front of a small table.

Then he sat on the shabby chair behind the small table.

"I'm sorry, you should have seen the situation of Gaileed. There haven't been any customers for a long time."

"Without visitors, even repairing tables and chairs is almost unnecessary."

Bai Shi was not a pretentious person. After confirming that the chair would not fall apart, he sat on it.

"It's okay. I'm not the kind of person who would bother with trivial matters."

Although it was a bit crude to discuss things in such an environment, considering the current situation of Red Lion City, Bai Shi would not ask for anything.

After all, the most important thing in discussing things is whether they can be reached. The environment and status are not that important.

It's not like he had never done something like talking about cooperation with Lani while wearing a piece of cloth.

"So, what did the Storm King come here to do?"

Jie Lian took the initiative to ask Bai Shi.

He is a very straightforward person, or rather, most of the soldiers on the border are like that.

White knowledge is not to be hidden.

"I'm naturally here to challenge Star-Breaking General Latarn, but also for his Great Rune."

Jie Lian chuckled twice.

"Of course, the battle festival is held for this purpose."

"But why did you come to see me now?"

"If you are impatient and want to challenge Ratan now, I will try to stop you no matter what."

"In order to give Latan an honorable end, the battle memorial will never begin prematurely."

Seeing that Jie Lian misunderstood what he meant, Bai Shi shook his head.

"Of course not. I am a person who values order, and I would never go to someone else's territory and break the rules."

"I came to you to discuss something."

Jie Lian also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Since the battle festival is very important to our Red Lion Legion, I can't help but be a little sensitive."

"Then tell me what you came to see me about."

Bai Shi spoke again and put forward his request.

"I brought a perfumer with me, and he is also in Red Lion City now."

"Because I plan to explore Gaileed next. I won't stay in Red Lion City waiting for the battle festival."

"So I hope you can help protect her while I'm away."

Jie Lian was a little puzzled. If it was just this kind of thing, was it really necessary to come here specially?

However, he still agreed to what Bai Shi said.

"Don't worry, it's safe in Red Lion City."

But Bai Shi shook his head.

"Not enough. She needs someone stronger to protect her, like the Crucible Knight and the Lion Hybrid just now."

"Because she is very important, especially to you."

Jie Lian was a little confused and immediately took over the conversation without waiting for Bai Shi to introduce Hilbert.

"Why do you say that? What does she have to do with us..."

"No, wait, could it be related to the Scarlet Corruption?"

An incredible idea popped up in Jie Lian's mind.

Bai Shi's introduction confirmed his idea.

"Yes, she is a perfumer and has been active on Gaileed."

"Not long ago, she created an incense that can cleanse an area of scarlet corruption."

Jie Lian's breathing became a little rapid.

This is indeed something that is vital to their Red Lion Legion.

Scarlet corruption is not invincible. They in Red Lion City have been conducting research and experimenting in this regard.

Whether it's fire or something else, there is always a way to curb the scarlet corruption.

Scarlet corruption cannot spread unconditionally. Even on Gaileed there are some caves that are not infected by the scarlet corruption.

The same is true for some plants, which survive in places where scarlet corruption grows and spreads.

It’s just that the Red Lions have never figured out why, let alone how to use it.

After all, the Red Lion City is full of warriors, so we can only try simple methods.

Although some methods other than fire have been tried.

However, in terms of difficulty and efficiency of acquisition, it is not even as good as fire.

So in the end, Red Lion City could only use the most primitive and simplest method.

It is to fight the scarlet corruption with fire.

To this end, they also contacted the fire practitioners who came down from the snowy mountains.

Traded the Flame Chariot from them, as well as some items of Giant Flame.

If there is now another method that can be used to fight Scarlet Corruption, it will undoubtedly increase the success rate of cleaning up Scarlet Corruption.

Even if the probability is only one in ten thousand, he will try his best.

The possibility of curing scarlet corruption is right in front of him, and Jie Lian will never let go of any possibility.

So Jie Lian nodded solemnly.

"In that case, we will definitely protect her safety. I promise you with my life."

Since Jie Lian agreed, Bai Shi doesn't have to worry about anything.

Besides, Hilbert's safety problem is not that big.

Not many people knew that she had developed a neutralizing incense.

Scarlet Corruption also has no unified consciousness, so it is impossible for it to mobilize the corrupt relatives to strangle her.

In fact, Bai Shi had no idea that anyone would come to hurt Hilbert, he just wanted to be on the safe side.

"Okay, then it's settled."

"There's nothing else, but I'm very interested in you and General Latan."

"You seem to have a close relationship with General Ratan, and you are also the acting city lord. I wonder if you can satisfy my curiosity."

Jerry leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest.

The iron old man's mask concealed all his expressions.

But from his body language, you can feel that he is reminiscing and missing someone.

"Since you are interested, I will tell you so that I don't have to take these stories to my grave."

"Where should I start from... I might as well start from when I met Latarn."

"In the first half of my life, I was like a drifting duckweed. I loved wandering and was never bound by any constraints."

"I used to make a living as a guest general, and I would settle down for a while wherever I wandered."

"I was also a guest general in the Kalia royal family. Because of this, I met Ratan. Now I think I was really lucky."

"At that time, Latan had not yet completed the feat of shattering the stars. He was still quite young and immature, full of ambition. Because he admired the first king Gefulei, he hoped that one day he could build his own powerful army."

"At that time, although my status and position as a member of the group were very different, we were like brothers, trusting and relying on each other."

"Later, Latan continued to grow and his body became larger and larger. His pony gradually could not bear his weight. In order to live and die with the pony, he went to the magic town of Selia accompanied by Oga to find a magic teacher. In order to learn the magic of controlling gravity that the royal family of Kalia did not have."

"There he found the White King from the starry sky, and became his disciple. He learned magic from him and gained the power to challenge the stars."

"In the end, Latan faced the stars alone and sealed the starry sky of the borderland, thus earning him the title of Starbreaker. It was at that time that the twin swords he wielded were engraved with the mark of gravity."

"Since then, Latan began to build his own army. Because of Shatterstar's feat, countless people came to join, and the Red Lions took root in Galid. The pattern on the Red Lions Legion, the lion holding a great sword, was drawn in his image."

Jerry sighed, and what followed was not as pleasant a memory as before.

"After that, I left the Kalia royal family and officially joined Ratan's army, also serving as a guest general."

"But the ensuing Shattering War..."

"The Broken War is not a first come, first served game. It will only end when the demigods decide the winner."

"There must be an Elden King at the Junction."

"Latan also wants to become the King of Elden, and to become the King of Elden, he must first enter the Royal City."

"But we failed. Our attack was blocked by the strong walls of the royal city, twice."

"We failed and retreated back to Galid, but after that, the twins, Marenia, suddenly came with an army."

"She seemed to be in a hurry. She only brought the noble knights of her personal guard and almost no logistics, and rushed all the way to Galid."

"We tried to communicate, but she was unwilling to answer any of our questions and was determined to fight Latarn."

"General Ratan was not afraid to engage her in battle, but at the end of the battle, Marenia used unexpected means, blooming the scarlet flower, causing scarlet corruption to spread throughout Gaileid."

"Oga died in this war, and Latan was driven mad by the scarlet corruption afterwards."

"Although I consider myself a free man without any constraints, for the sake of Latan and Oga... I have reasons to stay in Gaileid now."

Jie Lian finished telling all this calmly.

The time was too long and revenge was too far away.

All he could do was guard this city, year after year, day after day.

Fortunately, he is not alone.

There are no cowards in the Red Lion Army.

At the moment of defeat, all the soldiers of the Red Lion Legion burned their emblems with determination.

This is a symbol of leaving the distant homeland forever and staying in Gaileed to suppress the scarlet corruption.

The scarlet corruption expands every day, so they have to clean it up every day.

If the Crimson Corruption cannot be eradicated, then it must be suppressed within the land of Galeed.

Bai Shi sighed silently.

"There are no cowards in the Red Lion Army. You are true heroes."

Jie Lian waved his hand.

Heroes and the like, maybe a long, long time ago, he would care about it and even fight for it.

But now he no longer cares.

"As I get older, I become more talkative. I wanted to tell you briefly, but I ended up saying so much."

"I'm sorry for taking up some of your time."

"You said earlier that you wanted to go explore Gallid. Do you need me to ask someone to lead the way?"

Bai Shi refused and just asked for a more detailed map. The place he was going to next was not one that anyone could accompany him at will.

He was heading to the edge of the Ionian Swamp to look for the veteran O'Neill.

Although it is on the edge of the swamp rather than the center, it is still difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Golden needles are the top priority of Gailey's trip.

Soon, Jie Lian asked someone to bring a map.

The map's depiction of the area is not very detailed, but it clearly marks the locations of various corrupt creatures' settlements.

The above is often modified, eliminated, migrated, and then eliminated again, which is also reflected in the process.

This map shows that the Red Lion Legion never relaxes for a single day.

After watching Bai Shi leave, Jie Lian took out a mechanical bird.

This was a communication tool given to him by his friend Iggie when he was in the Kalia royal family, but he had never used it.

"As I was recalling, I suddenly remembered it."

"The fate of the Kalia royal family is also related to the starry sky. Although he, as a military advisor, should not ignore this, I still remind him."
