Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 141 Millicent's Whereabouts
Bai Shi spent a night in the town of Selia and did not travel overnight.

After arriving at the town of Selia, he first fought with the magicians.

After the reconciliation, they took the treasures of the town of Selia.

This consumes a lot of time.

There was no time to sleep and it was almost dawn.

So Bai Shi sat in the blessing space next to the golden tree phantom and rested for a while in the blessed space.

Although Bai Shi has always maintained a good sleeping habit, it is completely fine to go without sleep for a day or two.

Anyway, blessing can restore the body to full condition.

Bai Shi carefully observed the Star Shadow Katana in his hand.

This knife looks very strange.

Not only does it look like it, it also feels like bone when touched.

It's hard not to associate it with the Hunting Finger Knife and the Divine Body Sword.

However, there is no need for destiny to use it, and Bai Shi can use it now.

I tried it a bit and it feels pretty good to wield.

Bai Shi couldn't help but sigh:
"This weapon was definitely forged by a master craftsman, and the raw materials are also very extraordinary."

“I didn’t expect that among the Knox Dynasty technology and items passed down in Selia Town, there would be something like this.”

However, Bai Shi has not used its combat skills yet, and has no way to use them for the time being.

Because there is a (封) after its name.

At the moment, it seems like the fighting skills have been sealed. Perhaps they will not change until we reach the 'Eternal City'.

Bai Shi doesn't plan to use this weapon anytime soon.

Without any special fighting skills, this is just a magical sword.

Maybe I can wait until I get the famous sword Tsukikage and use it to practice dual swords.

Melina was now beside Bai Shi, bending over to draw a map of Gallid.

Bai Shi specially asked Stella to find a small table so that Melina would not have to kneel on the ground to draw like before.

Comparing the map of Galide that she had obtained from Jerryan earlier, Melina drew the pattern on it bit by bit on her and Bai Shi's maps.

Melina always does this every time she gets a map.

On the one hand, it is to mark the location of the blessing, and on the other hand, it is also her habit.

With a map you draw yourself, the feeling of exploring and traveling on the border will be more obvious.

Melina, who was bending over to draw a map, stopped what she was doing when she heard Bai Shi's words, looked up and glanced at him with a smile.

"The lost 'eternal cities' of Noxstella and Noxlong, and the Nox Dynasty..."

"The brilliant underground civilization is also very attractive."

"I wonder what the fake moon and fake starry sky that Stella mentioned actually look like."

Bai Shi recalled the mysterious and hazy fake night sky in the game. It was indeed quite beautiful.

The underground can be reached from the well in the Nimugforest.

Although it is impossible to enter the "Eternal City" Noklongen from there, the scenery you see when descending is definitely a magnificent view.

Every time he went down that well, Bai Shi would be shocked by the scenery.

Bai Shi had handed over the development of the underground that he had previously discussed with Lani to his subordinate, the Faded One, and he himself had not even gone down there.

After all, he knew that he couldn't get to the 'Eternal City' Noklongen from there, and it would be a waste of time.

By the way, when we return to Nimgefu, I can take Melina to have a look.

She would definitely be very happy if she saw such a beautiful scenery.

“I think it would be beautiful.”

"But we will see it later. Whether it is underground or in the sky, we will get there."

"Our journey will definitely become a legendary story in the border area."

Although Melina was a little confused about what Bai Shi said about the sky, she agreed.

"Ah."

As if she remembered something, Melina looked up at Bai Shi again.

"Regarding the origin magician Master Luther, what do you plan to do with him? Are you going to release him from the seal?"

When Stella took out the Lusert pyroxene staff earlier, she also told Bai Shi that Master Lusert was sealed in a hidden cave behind Selia.

Not only is it sealed inside, but it is also guarded by people from the academy.

Melina thought that if such a person could be rescued, it would definitely be of great help to Bai Shi.

Of course, Melina had no idea that Master Luther was now crystallized.

His body transformed into inorganic pyroxene, and he was unable to move or even speak.

"No rush. We already know he's here. We can talk about it later."

Bai Shi has no plans to look for Master Lusert for the time being.

Although the master is indeed a master and can cast very powerful magic, the problem is that he does not have the key now.

And it’s best not to let Teacher Seren know the whereabouts of Master Lusert.

Now Bai Shi has no means to help Teacher Se Lian study the origin.

If the teacher knew the location of Master Lusert in advance, she might have used the 'traditional' and 'effective' method of making the magician's ball.

"Compared to this, I am more concerned about the Selia Crystal Tunnel."

"It's now occupied by corrupt followers. We need to take some time to clean them up."

That crystal tunnel is the place that can be reached through the Dragon Breath Ruins teleportation trap.

In the game, there are many times when you can reach Gaileed ahead of time through this hidden road.

Then you can go to the Corrupted Lake and pick up the Meteorite Staff and Rock Ball, two mage artifacts for pioneering the land.

Now that the town of Selia belongs to him, he naturally knows what is inside the mine.

Bai Shi naturally couldn't allow this group of insects to occupy his resources.

Just as Bai Shi was wondering when he could find time to clean them up, Melina made a suggestion:
"Wouldn't it be OK if you let the knights you trained deal with them after a while?"

"The general strength of corrupt followers is not strong, and you also said that you want to use those artificial creatures as mounts for the Knights."

"In that case, wouldn't it be nice to just let them ride over and fight in the cave, and train themselves at the same time?"

Bai Shi thought about it and realized that what he said was right.

The training of the Knights has been going on for some time, and it is time to see the results.

Although the strength of the corrupt dependents is not strong, it is definitely not weak, and their strength is close to that of regular soldiers.

They are also highly social creatures that collaborate well with each other.

It is also possible to use them to train the Knights.

As for casualties.

The Knights are bound to fight, and this is the purpose of raising them.

Moreover, those who join the Knights Templar are not cowards who value their lives, but serious warriors.

Not to mention that a very important part of their becoming stronger is to kill enemies to obtain runes and to fight to support themselves.

The witches in Stonewell will strengthen them, and they will only become stronger.

After Melina finished drawing the map, the two leaned together and chatted for a while.

Then Bai Shi left Ci Fu and set out into the morning light.
-
After passing through the checkpoint behind the town of Selia, Bai Shi rode Torret along the hillside.

Suddenly Bai Shi slapped his head.

"Oops, I forgot..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Came Melina's puzzled voice.

"Stella said earlier that the academy had contacted them. The closed academy definitely couldn't have sent anyone over. It could only be a remote communication method."

"We should ask them what method they used. If we can master this method, communication will be much more convenient."

Bai Shi had forgotten about this matter before, but suddenly remembered it just now.

The communication method does need to be improved. In the territory of Nimgefu, Storm Eagles roamed around and patrolled.

Therefore, information can be transmitted very quickly through them, much faster than ordinary communication birds.

But there is no way out outside the jurisdiction of Baishi.

For example, in the current situation of Gallid, it would be easy for a Storm Eagle to be infected with the Crimson Corruption.

Besides the Storm Eagle, the only means of communication between the Faded Ones is the finger-hooking between the Faded Ones.

But since it cannot transmit information, to be honest, it can only be used in emergencies.

For example, the golden mark he left in Stonewell could remind Bai Shi to go back in case of emergency.

Nowadays, there is no stable way for white people to communicate.

Even if he wanted to find veteran O'Neal later, he had to go to the place he had agreed to meet with him, which was too troublesome.

For ordinary faders, there is actually no problem.

After all, living in a border area where you could lose your life at any time, it's already amazing if you can survive, not to mention keeping in touch with others frequently.

It is normal to meet friends after a long time, sigh together about how lucky each other is, and then continue on your own dangerous journey.

This is the case for ordinary faded ones, who just need to work hard to stay alive, but for the White Consciousness who wants to become the King of Elden in the future, there are many things to consider.

Things that need to be considered include when to contact subordinates in different locations and when to mobilize troops.

If we can master the communication method of magic and let the magician serve as the hub and node of communication, then the efficiency of Bai Shi’s future communication will be greatly improved.

"Well, indeed."

"If they have contact with the School of Magic, they must have similar technology..."

"Let's ask after we get back."

Bai Shi nodded, stopped thinking about it, and continued walking up the hillside.

The hillside here is a zigzag mountain road, which is very troublesome with the turns left and right.

"Bai Shi, look over there! Above your head!"

Hearing Melina's exclamation, Bai Shi also looked up.

I saw a very huge skull embedded in the mountain.

It was covered with corrupt fungi, and deep, thick roots grew out of the skull's eye sockets.

"At first I thought it was just an ordinary rock and I thought the shape was a bit strange. Now I can see clearly that it is a skull."

"So, the skull we saw on the road earlier was the same one..."

"It's unbelievable that there is such a huge skeleton."

“I wonder if this is the legendary giant.”

Bai Shi was very happy to hear Melina's shocked voice.

Melina seemed to be getting more and more active, she was really enjoying this journey.

Bai Shi could feel that she was becoming more and more like a living person.

She no longer cautiously inquired about Bai Shi's attitude, nor would she keep everything in her heart.

"Well, it's a really huge skull."

"I wonder if all giants are this size. If so, it would be too exaggerated."

"What kind of scene would a war between the Golden Tree Dynasty and the giants be like? Just thinking about it is spectacular."

There were no outsiders around, so Bai Shi and Melina chatted casually.

Until it was interrupted by a loud "boom".

It seemed like the sound of something rolling down, and it was getting closer to them.

Soon, a huge iron ball rolled down from the front.

The smooth iron ball rolled down with extraordinary momentum, as if it could crush everything into dust.

Bai Shi used his sword and spear to knock it aside, smashing it into the rock, and then continued forward.

The rest of the way was littered with tombstones.

Many skeleton dead creatures also crawled out and tried to attack Bai Shi.

But under Torret's rapid speed, these slow-moving dead creatures had no way to stop him and were left far behind.

Soon, another iron ball appeared in front, and this time Bai Shi saw clearly how the iron ball was formed.

On the ground, a white summoning circle lit up, and an iron ball emerged from it.

This is the academy's technology. You can find the same magic circle for summoning iron balls in the academy.

At that time, Bai Shi was hit hard.

This kind of summoning academy has always liked to use it.

In the place where Teacher Se Lian was guarding, the magician's ball also appeared after such a summoning circle emerged.

As for this iron ball, it should be modeled after the black moon-like iron ball that turned from a teardrop.

At least in appearance they are quite similar.

It seems that these are the traps set by the academy on the road to guard Master Lusert.

Moving forward, Bai Shi soon arrived outside the corrupt church on the mountain.

But there are no corrupt followers here now.

Similarly, after Bai Shi entered the church, he only saw the huge statue of Marika, but did not see Millicent.

It seems that Millicent should still be in the Ionian swamps.

In this case, I'm afraid we can only wait for O'Neill to find Millicent in the swamp.

Bai Shi picked up the Holy Grail in the Church of Corruption, lit up the Blessing, and placed the Holy Grail in the Blessing.

Compared with other holy grails, this holy grail in the Church of Corruption has not changed at all.

It was just left there on the ground covered with corruption, without even a bit of fungus to cling to it.

I don’t know what kind of power this carries.

After leaving the Church of Corruption, Bai Shi first took a look at the entrance of the cave where Master Luther was sealed.

After confirming the location of the cave, Bai Shi turned and walked towards the cliff farther away.

There is a stream of soul air there, from which you can jump directly onto the cliff and reach the Dragon Tomb.

Above the soul airflow, there is a Faros Fortress, which contains the props needed by Bai Shi.

This route also saves Bai Shi from having to run through the map again from the blessing of the Qiliem Ruins.

There are cemeteries all along the way, as well as a large number of skeletons.

As usual, Bai Shi ignored them and ran straight to the end of the road, where there was a huge stream of soul air.

When he arrived at the soul airflow, Torrett did not slow down at all and rushed straight towards the soul airflow.

When he entered the range of the soul airflow, Torrett kicked his feet and leaped upwards with white consciousness.

In an instant, he jumped to a height of nearly 100 meters and easily jumped from here to the cliff where the Pharos Fortress was located.

The effect of the soul airflow continued until Torrett landed.

Only after Torrett was protected and landed safely did the effect of the soul airflow completely dissipate.

However, as soon as they came up, Bai Shi and Torret were discovered by two young flying dragons.

These two flying dragons are very small and are still in their infancy as far as flying dragons are concerned.

It was even smaller than the little flying dragon that was next to Yakir when he killed him earlier.

Not only the body shape, but even the color has not fully developed, and the scales have not turned shiny black.

When the two little flying dragons saw Bai Shi, they immediately felt the dragon aura emanating from his equipment.

It was immediately clear that the man in front of him was a very powerful dragon slayer, and even his extremely powerful compatriots had become his equipment.

So the two little flying dragons quickly turned around and ran away.

Bai Shi ignored them and walked towards the burning wall of fire in the distance.

After passing the wall of smoke and fire there is the Fortress of Pharos.

　I feel like not many people know about this route. I really like to go from the Dragon Tomb to the Church of Corruption. I don’t have to do the decryption of Ceria, and then I can jump from the statue behind Ceria to the branch inside Ceria, which is just right to light up the blessing.
