Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 157: Reincarnation

Bai Shi said nothing in response to Diaros's repeated thanks.

Leaving Diaros and Lenya behind, he continued to move forward along the planned route.

He didn't do these things to be thanked.

He just didn't want Diaros to go down the blasphemous path that even he hated.

Diaros always makes people feel disappointed in him in the game.

But it cannot be said that this is all his own problem.

Putting aside family reasons, the border area is not the set of some hot-blooded anime. As long as you have a wish, your goal can be achieved.

Even after embarking on the profane journey to the Volcano Residence, Diaros did not become the hero he wished to be.

However, it was precisely when he accepted his mediocrity and went to Hu Village that he discovered his true heart.

He considered himself incompetent, but when he saw that such a pair of hands could take care of the pot, he finally understood why his hands existed.

Only when he was with the pot did he feel that he was truly alive.

It is for this reason that at the end of his story, when Tsubomi Village was attacked by poachers, Diaros also abandoned his former cowardice.

For the sake of those pots, he fought desperately with poachers.

He failed to protect Hu Village and died as a result.

But at the last moment, what he was thinking about before his death was not the heroes he always talked about, but the pots.

That's when he truly became a hero.

Maybe what he really wants is not to become a hero, but to catch up with his brother.

He himself has not yet awakened and has not found what he is really looking for, so he is confused and lost.

This time, Bai Shi gave him a chance.

Let him see if he really wants to be a hero.

If he truly wanted to be a hero, he would have been transformed in Stonevale.

If he had realized that in the military, he couldn't be a hero.

This can be regarded as helping him to understand himself, allowing him to cherish the people around him and survive in this cruel yet beautiful land of the border in his own way.

Bai Shi will do his best to help any character he can to prevent them from dying.

Although from their perspective, white consciousness is strange.

But Bai Shi had already become friends with them in the game and witnessed their lives full of regrets.

Hoping to save them, this was Bai Shi’s initial thought.
-
Following the path that had once been trodden by people, Bai Shi and Torret walked through the dense woods.

This path is a dirt road that was once walked by many people. The land is compacted and grass has difficulty growing.

But because it had been abandoned for a long time, green grass began to grow again tenaciously on this road.

The creatures around Lienia were all sane creatures and would not attack crazily like the group that Gaileed had.

The wild wolves avoided Bai Shi from afar because of the flying dragon aura on Bai Shi.

…Except for a giant crab that had no such awareness.

A giant crab was blocking the path that Bai Shi was about to take.

There was a depression on the road that was filled with rainwater, forming a small pool.

In that small pond, a big crab was leisurely leading a few small crabs to feed.

The crab claws kept digging up food from the mud beneath its feet and stuffed whatever it found into its mouth.

Sometimes, when the crab doesn't catch anything, it will put its empty claws to its mouth, looking a little dazed.

However, after seeing Bai Shi and Torrett, the huge crab immediately rushed towards them, as if wanting to eat something fresh.

The dragon's breath has no effect on crabs because crabs have no sense of smell.

Seeing the big crab rushing towards him, Bai Shi just waved his hand and the wind blade split the crab in half.

As the big crab was cut in half, yellow juice burst out of its body.

Bai Shi was initially wondering why this crab had so much juice.

When I got closer, I found that it was not its body fluid, but the large number of crab eggs in its abdomen, which burst after being cut by the wind blade, and the juice splashed everywhere.

Torrett walked up and sniffed it, then started eating.

Bai Shi was curious when he saw Torret eating with gusto, so he picked up a crab egg and observed it in his hand.

The eggs of this big crab are also quite large, each one is slightly smaller than an egg, and is covered with slippery mucus.

After smelling it, there was no special fishy smell, so Bai Shi threw the crab eggs into his mouth and chewed them.

The crab eggs burst in your mouth, and the sweet taste stimulates your taste buds and makes you feel happy.

The crab roe tastes delicious, much better than crab meat. Then Bai Shi's whole body began to warm up from the inside out.

In the border area, large crab roe is considered a rare delicacy that can only be eaten by people of status and position.

After all, crabs, like shrimps, are very difficult for ordinary people to fight.

Bai Shi ate one to taste it and then stopped eating. He waited until Torrett had eaten enough to not want to eat anymore before continuing on his way.

Walking out of the woods, the view suddenly opens up and a huge building suddenly appears in sight.

Bai Shi looked at the huge building. It was two tall towers connected by a bridge.

That is Lienia's study and Lani's divine tower.

The terrain where Bai Shi was now was very high, parallel to the middle section of Lienya's study, as if he could jump directly onto it by standing on the edge of a cliff.

Bai Shi looked up at Kalia's study, deep in thought.

In the game, the design of this study is quite clever.

After obtaining the Inverted Image from Rani, it can be mounted on the planetarium base in Kalia's Study.

Then the interior of Kalia's study would be turned upside down.

But the amazing thing is that even if it is turned upside down, the water will still flow in the original direction, that is, it will flow towards the sky.

I wonder how this will play out in the real world?
But speaking of Kalia's Study, there are also a lot of disgusting things in it.

For example, the finger monster and a certain magic professor.

Bai Shi had suffered a lot from this before.

Coming to the edge of the cliff, Bai Shi looked at the distance between here and Kalia's study. It was still quite far.

I glanced down and soon found the location of Hu Village.

This Hu Village is Alexander's hometown. It was from here that he started his journey to become stronger.

The Hu Village here is much larger than in the game, and there are more live Hus.

In order to avoid attacks by poachers, the living pots often build their villages in quite hidden places.

For example, under this cliff, ordinary people would never come here, nor would they look down.

In addition, the live pots have another way to make a living.

That is to join other forces as a warrior to gain protection.

The warrior Pots will take some small Pots with them to join other forces, the main purpose of which is to provide a place for the small Pots to live.

The Warrior Pots were quite powerful, and many factions in the border areas would accept their allegiance. For example, in Stonewell, several large Warrior Pots lived with their smaller counterparts.

They all had previously surrendered to Greg, using their allegiance in exchange for his protection.

As of now, they are all white people, living together with other races.

Bai Shi has no plans to jump off the cliff and go to Hu Village for the time being.

Now that you know the location, there is no need to rush.

The living pots have long been afraid of poachers, and if they go there as strangers, they may not be as welcome as in the game.

When the time is right, Bai Shi will go find them and ask them if they want to move to Stoneville.

We had experienced a lot of things along the way, and it was already dark now.

Bai Shi wanted to find a place to rest.

However, when he didn't want to encounter the enemy, he was entangled by the enemy.

When passing a small lake, ripples began to appear in the calm water.

With the red light, Tibia's calling boat appeared in the middle of the lake.

And beside it, dead creatures transformed from the corpses of bandits and militiamen kept emerging from the red light.

They hold ill will towards the living and lock onto Bai Zhi from a distance.

When they were fully awake, they pounced on Bai Shi without any hesitation.

Bai Shi sighed helplessly.

He had originally intended to bypass this group of deadborns and the call ship.

Because he currently has no means to seal the dead roots, it would be inconvenient to carry them with him.

But since the other side has taken action first, how could Bai Shi possibly escape?

Bai Shi raised his sword and spear and took the initiative to approach these ungrateful guys.

The storm easily blew the Deathborn apart, while the swords and spears continued to make holes in the Screaming Ship.

Although Tibia's Calling Ship can teleport, it cannot escape from Bai Shi's hands.

The Summoning Ship, which failed to recognize the difference in strength, was hacked away at, and by the time it realized it should escape, it was already too late.

In no time, Bai Shi easily tore the Tibia's summoning ship into pieces.

The calling ship gradually drifted away and disappeared from the world, leaving only a dead root on the ground.

After Tibia's Summoning Ship was dealt with by Bai Shi, the other Dead Borns stopped moving and collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of seemingly ordinary dry bones, never to be resurrected again.

Bai Shi picked up the dead root, wrapped it tightly with cloth, and then put it in the small bag hanging at his side.

This small bag is made together with the equipment, so it will not have a different style from the equipment.

Although he hasn't used this small bag for a long time, he still carries it with him.

The items inside are basically props that may be used in battle.

If I put the dead roots directly on Torret, I don't know if it will have any effect on it.

In this case, I'll keep it by myself for now, and wait until tomorrow to get the great blessing and go find D.

Just as Bai Shi was about to leave, a bright light made him look again.

When I walked over and took a look, I found that it was a crystal clear skull buried in the ground.

It feels like ashes, and its translucent texture is also the same as ashes.

Obviously, although the form of the carrier is different, this is also ashes.

Bai Shi touched his chin, trying hard to recall whose ashes these were.

It has been a long time since he arrived at the border, and he can hardly remember the details.

In that case, let’s just summon it out and take a look.

As the soul-calling bell rang, a skeleton holding two scimitars appeared in front of Bai Shi.

Bai Shi suddenly realized that it was the ashes of the Skeleton Bandit.

But Bai Shi has never really understood why the Dead Born have ashes?

It is quite strange that the deceased has ashes.

Ashes are formed when the soul resides in the remains of the body.

The dead born is itself in a state of death, yet it can be resurrected repeatedly. So why does such a thing have ashes?
If it died, it should be resurrected right on the spot.

Bai Shi tried to communicate with the bandit skeleton, but the noise coming from the other side was completely incomprehensible and meaningless.

Because he couldn't understand what it was saying, Bai Shi tried again and rang the Soul-Calling Bell to take it back.

The dead are truly magical. Come to think of it, there are quite a few dead at Bai Shi’s destination.

Throwing the skull into the bag that Torrett was carrying, Bai Shi and Torrett headed towards a small shabby house on the cliff at the end of their sight.

On the way, Bai Shi looked around for a long time, trying to find the Knight Rodel who would hang around here in the game.

But I searched everywhere but found nothing.

It seems that Knight Rodel who holds the prayer book of dragon faith does not exist here at all.

After all, it was quite strange that Knight Rodel would appear here alone.

There weren't any touchable corpses nearby, so it seemed impossible to learn to pray here.

Bai Shi had no choice but to find the painter's shabby house first.

After lighting the blessing, Bai Shi walked into the room.

The room was quite simple, and it was not enough to describe it as bare-bones, because the room was supported by only two walls.

The originally small room was filled with painting tools.

There is no free space except for the place to draw.

This type of dilapidated house can be found everywhere in the border area. It is quite simple to build and often serves as a temporary residence.

Someone with production experience can make it in a day or two.

In this simple house, there is a very delicate and beautiful painting, which makes people feel a little unreal.

The painting is shrouded in a layer of magic that prevents time from eroding it in the slightest.

Small words appeared in front of Bai Shi's eyes, telling him the name of the painting: "Rebirth".

The wandering painter puts everything into painting, and this is one of his works.

This is a painting that condenses the essence of the wandering painter's life and takes rebirth as its theme.

It is said that the wandering artist would paint the disappeared characters and the scenes they saw at the last moment.

If you go to the place where this painting was created, you can find the items he left behind.

Even without considering these bonus items, it is still a very valuable work from the perspective of painting alone.

It's so clear, it looks like a photo.

Every detail is exquisite and perfect, completely imprinting the scene at that time on the painting.

Bai Shi decided to take it back to Stonewell as a collection.

　Ah, although I reminded myself that I should write some words, but the DLC is so fun that I couldn't help but play for a while longer, just for a while (lying down
