Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 140 The Great Storm King Leads His Loyal Ceria

Bai Shi thought about it for a while and finally agreed to the girl's request for reconciliation.

"Okay, if that's the case, then it's not unacceptable."

Hearing Bai Shi agree, the Ye Ren girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart had just been beating at a speed that was not supposed to be possible for her race.

It was difficult to make peace when faced with someone who could easily kill them.

Besides, they had attacked him before.

If the negotiations failed, she would definitely die at such a close distance.

Fortunately, it seems that the secrets of Selia and the magicians of Selia are still attractive enough.

The person in front of him finally agreed.

But the future is still dark.

I don't know what will happen to their town of Selia under this man's leadership.

Can the town of Selia survive?
He is the enemy of the academy. Can he really survive the academy's attack?

Even if he could face the academy, the academy would be helpless against him.

But Selia doesn't have such strength.

If he turned a blind eye to the academy's revenge on Ceria, Ceria would still perish.

After all, the conditions they proposed were not meant to exchange for asylum, but were only conditions for reconciliation.

It's just because I realized that I had offended someone I shouldn't have offended.

This man was not someone they could defeat.

If they continued like this, no matter how hard they struggled, he would only be able to massacre everyone in the town of Selia by himself.

By that time, it will be completely over.

That's why they had to seek reconciliation by becoming a vassal, so as to avoid the destruction of Selia now.

After all, which is better, immediate death or slow death?

Anyway, she felt that if everyone was going to die, it would be better to die slowly.

At least it gives them room to struggle.

However, she still didn't know what kind of person Bai Shi was.

So naturally, I don’t know that these concerns are unnecessary.

When she thinks back on it in the future, she will definitely be thankful that she delivered the town of Selia to Bai Shi today.

As for Bai Shi.

Although I was attacked inexplicably, it didn't hurt at all.

It's like being bitten by a giant dragonfly while walking on the road. It doesn't hurt much, but it's a bit insulting.

However, since they had received a group of powerful magicians in return, Bai Shi had no objection.

Among Stonewell's current troops, there is indeed a lack of long-range combat capabilities like magicians.

Bai Shi plans to divide the magicians of Selia into various teams as an additional means of output and surprise attack.

I believe that magicians who are proficient in assassination will bring unexpected surprises to the enemy.

Even if they were not allowed to go out to assassinate, it would be completely fine to just let them be teachers in Stonewell and train magicians who knew themselves.

There aren't many powerful magicians in Stonewell, or even none at all.

Lancelet is quite capable, but he usually has to help Bai Shi manage Stonewell.

I'm already extremely busy, and any private time I have is spent on picking up girls.

It would be inhumane to allow Bai Shi to take up his rare private time and ask him to teach.

The vast majority of the remaining magicians are low-level magicians with no strength, and they don’t even have the Brilliant Stone Set.

Mr. Topps can teach, but it is better to let him study the Topps force field.

The research on Tops force field is much more important than training dozens of magicians.

With so many excellent magicians in Selia, the speed of training magicians will be greatly improved in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is what the girl said, the real secret of Selia Town.

The town of Selia has an alias - 'Descendants of Eternity'.

Beneath their feet was the 'Eternal City' Noklongen, which also inherited some of the technology of the underground civilization Nox Dynasty.

The Knox Dynasty is all good stuff.

The Magic Academy and the Kalia Royal Family had already acquired some of the technologies of the 'Eternal City' that Ceria inherited.

This also includes the Knox people's various studies on spirits, mysteries and biology.

The most famous is the birth of a creature called the Son of Platinum.

The platinum blood that flows in them seems to have little to do with Knox from the name.

But their origin is actually the imitation teardrop.

The blood flowing in his body is the same as Ye Ren's, the same cold silver blood.

Knox has made a lot of progress in artificial life.

For example, the dragon soldiers, lightning balls and replicant tears of the Knox Dynasty.

Most of these should have been inherited by the Kalia royal family.

But even so, the Kalia royal family has not fully explored all the secrets of the town of Selia.

The real secret of Selia Town that the girl mentioned could not have been obtained by the Kalia royal family, otherwise she would not have used it as a bargaining chip.

Bai Shi also began to look forward to it.

As the 'descendants of eternity', what special items or technologies did they inherit?

Bai Shi had never thought about whether it was a combat skill or magic.

After all, if there were useful combat skills and magic, Ceria should have used them to fight back.

Bai Shi thought that it might be some particularly important items, but they were useless in changing the situation in Selia Town.

It is similar to the hunting finger knife that Lani is looking for.

It is said that it is a key item that can harm the Supreme Will and the two fingers of His messenger.

And in the game, Lani also proved with her actions that the legend was true.

Although I don't know whether this weapon is as good as the legend says, it can even harm the Supreme Will.

But the fact that they could kill Two Fingers was enough to show the value of the Knox people's technology.

Is the hunting finger knife powerful? Of course it is.

But similar items have no fate and cannot even be used.

If it was such an item, there was naturally no way to change Ceria's situation.

But for Bai Shi, such items might be very useful.

"Since you have become my vassal, I will not treat you unfairly."

"The premise is that you have no second thoughts."

The girl lowered her head.

"As long as you don't abandon us..."

Bai Shi nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Stella."

Bai Shi looked at her with some surprise.

"The Stella from 'Eternal City' Nox Stella?"

"Yes, it is Stella who represents the stars. You know a lot about the Knox Dynasty."

Bai Shi looked at her twice more.

Although he didn't know the naming conventions at the border, this shouldn't be a random name.

But it doesn't matter. Having a status is not a bad thing, especially when it's under your own command.

Stella raised her head and asked Bai Shi cautiously:

"Sir, what should I call you?"

"Bai Shi, my name."

After thinking for a while, Bai Shi added:
"Storm King of Stonewell, Shard King of Nimgefu, these are my titles."

As a leader, it is important to let your newly joined subordinates know that they have a bright future.

Although the girl in front of him still looked confused and powerful.

Anyway, now the great Storm King has taken command of his loyal town of Ceria.

congratulations.
-
Now that Bai Shi has taken Selia Town under his control, there is no need to run around and do puzzles anymore.

Soon, Stella called the other magicians over.

All the items of the academy kept by the town of Selia were handed over to Bai Shi.

Including two great treasures: the Magic Stone Sword Key, and Luther's Pyroxene Staff.

Bai Shi first picked up the magic stone sword key.

Unlike ordinary stone sword keys, the magic stone sword key emits star-like light. The magic stone sword key is the prop to open the teleportation array on the fourth bell tower.

From the four bell towers, you can be teleported to three places: Houwang Cliff, the eternal night sky, and the ruined earth.

That is, the Chapel of the Kings, the Eternal City of Noklong, and the gradually collapsing Fam Azra.

However, due to their own reasons, these places are now unable to connect to the larger areas where they are located.

But if there is any way to fly over there, then it would be completely fine, after all, this is the real world.

And now Bai Shi has reconnected the connection between the Houwang Chapel and Stonewell, and there is no need to teleport anymore.

And these two places, Noklongen and Fam Azra, just happen to need two magic stone sword keys.

Now I have one in my hand, and I can pick up another one at the Fourth Bell Tower.

In this way, Bai Shi can already travel to these two areas.

But Bai Shi can't fly yet, so there's no point in going. I'll make plans later.

Bai Shi picked up Master Lusert's pyroxene staff again.

The staff was crudely made, like a piece of blue pyroxene growing abruptly on a rough stone pillar.

This staff has a good weight, heavier than some straight swords.

But Bai Shi has no way to use it now.

Bai Shi held the staff, but felt that magic power could not flow through it at all.

It was just like holding an ordinary stone stick.

This is because Bai Shi's intelligence is not enough to comprehend the amazing wisdom contained in this staff.

I can't even get close to Master Lusert.

Bai Shi couldn't help but sigh at the huge gap between himself and the real magic masters.

Is this the staff of the sorcerer who is said to have come into contact with the 'wisdom in stone'?

Anyone who has not seen this wisdom cannot use it as a magic wand.

After reading these things, Stella brought Bai Shi to the side and rear of Ceria, outside a huge building.

"This is the Temple of the Chair, built by the ancient Knox ancestors who came to the surface."

"The secret of the ancient kingdom that Selia Town inherited lies within this."

Entering the huge temple gate, Bai Shi saw the huge stone throne at first sight.

The size of this chair is so huge that it is far beyond the reach of normal creatures.

Even if Bai Shi used the Great Rune to enlarge his body to its largest size, he would probably still be like a baby sitting on an adult's chair if he sat on it.

There are two people guarding under this chair.

These two are a Night Witch and a Nox Swordsman.

Seeing Stella bringing people in, they seemed to already know what had happened, so they knelt on one knee to greet them respectfully.

Bai Shi followed Stella into the interior of the chair temple.

There are two stone boxes in the chair temple.

Bai Shi was also a little excited as he was about to reveal the real secret hidden by Ceria.

Originally, the Lutherite Staff was placed in this place in the game.

But now that the Lutherite Staff has been handed into his hands, what exactly is placed in this chair temple?

Could it be some other weapon? Or some lost forbidden technology?
The answer is revealed.

In one of the large stone boxes was a long sword.

And in another small box, there was a scroll.

Bai Shi picked up the sword, which was a strange sword.

Bai Shi had never seen this sword before.

But the patterns on the sword looked somewhat similar to the hunting finger knife.

Like a human corpse.

A line of small words appeared in front of me for the first time in a long time:
'Shadow of the Stars (Seal)'

Stella explained:

"This is the shadow of the stars."

"And this is the Ancient Darkness."

"There is no real night sky in the Eternal City."

"The origin of magic is the stars in the sky, and the origin of the stars is darkness."

"That's why the Nox people imitated the moon, the starry sky, and darkness in order to explore magic."

"The spell of Eternal Darkness was thus found, allowing the spell to continue to extend."

"As for this sword, it was forged by imitating the shadow of the stars."

Eternal Darkness is, needless to say, extremely useful.

As for the sword...

Bai Shi looked at it carefully for a while and found that it was indeed a top-notch weapon.

Just when Bai Shi thought it was over.

Stella, however, walked to the back wall of the chair temple with Bai Shi.

A secret door opened.

This is the mountain behind the town of Selia.

Walking down the passage, Bai Shi came to a wide cave.

But it is not dark here. Above our heads is a fake starry sky emitting a soft glow.

On the mountain of this cave, there is a small hole at a certain distance, arranged regularly like a honeycomb.

There were strange creatures sleeping in the small cave.

They have dragon-like heads, but there are no dragon scales on their bodies, only smooth silver skin.

Although they don't look like life at all, Baizhi can feel that they are indeed alive.

"what is this?"

Stella looked at these strange creatures and began to explain.

"This is a creature left over from the Knox dynasty."

"It is said that the dragon is an iron wall that protects the king."

"The Nox Dynasty once tried to create dragons to serve as guards for the Night King they were looking forward to."

"They failed and didn't create a real dragon, but they did research various creatures. These are one of them."

Stella whistled and one of them came running out of the residence.

Bai Shi thus saw its full picture.

It was more like a giant lizard than a dragon.

The wings on its back are just skeletons, and its body and tail are slender.

Its claws were firmly embedded in the stone as it climbed down the wall.

This creature is larger than an ordinary horse, its limbs are not short, and its head does look like a dragon.

"They are creatures that obey orders completely. There is no need to worry about them being like wild beasts that cannot be tamed or will not obey orders."

"Although its individual strength is not very strong, just like other beasts of the same size, it is quite excellent as a mount."

"If their fighting power could really change the situation, we in Ceria would have ridden them to counterattack the Magic Academy long ago."

Bai Shi nodded. It was conceivable that these creatures were not very powerful.

"As for mounts, what are their speed, endurance, and weight-carrying capacity?"

Stella motioned for the strange creature to lie down at Bai Shi's feet, allowing him to ride on it and experience it for himself.

Bai Shi sat on it, but the creature's back was not comfortable to sit on.

But as it climbed up, its speed was surprisingly fast.

Although it is slower than Torret, it is still much faster than ordinary war horses, and can even walk on walls as if it were flat ground.

"In terms of endurance, it doesn't seem to be very outstanding."

"But the speed in a short period of time is very fast, and secondly, the load-bearing capacity is not weak."

Bai Shi summarized the characteristics of this creature, which is quite good, and its versatility far exceeds that of ordinary war horses.

And they also have the fighting power of wild beasts. At this size, probably only bears can defeat them.

“We actually have the process for making them.”

"It's just that it has no effect on our current situation in Selia, so it's not used."

Bai Shi nodded, having roughly understood the physical condition of this creature.

The Dragon Blood Knights, whom Bai Shi had high hopes for, should finally have a mount.

"In that case, keep them for now. I will send someone to take them away later."

　DLC!! I can’t wait! Just watching the actual gameplay demos I have now is already exciting!
