Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 159 Golden Rule Fundamentalism (First Update)
The turtle is also a symbol of wisdom, age and experience in the border area.

In some magic towers, they are worshipped as wise beasts.

As for Milière, it was even more extraordinary.

He studied magic and prayer together, and achieved considerable success in both.

It can be said that he was confident that no matter what kind of prayer Bai Shi wanted to learn, he would be able to teach him.

Even if he doesn't know the prayer, he can use the prayer book to help him learn it.

Prayer books often record the teachings of that faith faction.

The doctrines are often obscure and difficult to understand, and a knowledgeable teacher like him can explain them to students.

However, when Millie saw the divine leather prayer book that Bai Shi took out, he felt a little troubled for a moment.

This divine skin prayer book has a cover made of smooth human skin and looks a bit strange.

"I want to learn the prayers in this prayer book, is that okay?"

"Uh-huh."

It’s not that I have any prejudice against the prayers in this book.

There is no high or low level of knowledge, and he does not believe in the so-called heresy.

It’s just that the workmanship and material of the prayer book in front of him made it a little difficult for him to swallow.

Miliye opened his mouth slightly, and finally agreed:
"Of course, there is no heresy in this world. Everything can be combined and integrated."

Miliye raised his big head and looked at Bai Shi.

"Sir Bai Shi, are you sure you want to learn from me?"

Bai Shi nodded, Miliye was the best candidate for the prayer teacher.

Magic doesn't need Miliye to teach it.

Lani had previously given Kalia some of her shining sword magic, and the academy's magic could be learned from Teacher Seren.

Although I believe that Millie has some skills, he is definitely not as good as Teacher Serlian in magic.

But prayer is different.

There are not many prayer teachers that can be found in the game. One is Colin in the Round Table Hall, and the other is Miriam here.

But this guy Colin likes to run around everywhere, he is not very reliable, and Bai Shi is not familiar with him.

What's more, in the game, Colin will eventually kill his teacher, the Master of the Golden Mask, because of the collapse of his faith.

Bai Shi has only exchanged a few words of greeting with him at Da Ci Fu so far. It is impossible for him to go to him to learn, and he does not plan to have more contact with him.

Bai Shi didn't have the confidence to convince a fanatical follower of the Golden Rule to accept the theory of the Golden Mask, but the Master of the Golden Mask couldn't die.

Therefore, not contacting him and not telling him the location of the Master of the Golden Mask is Bai Shi’s current strategy towards Colin.

As for D, he does teach prayer, but only in the extended law school of the Golden Rule fundamentalism.

If you give him a prayer book of another faith, I'm afraid he won't be able to teach.

Miliye saw that Bai Shi had made up his mind, so he said:

"Then, Lord Baishi, place your prayer-book before me."

"I will teach you once I have studied all the contents of this prayer book. It won't take long."

"So you can first deal with the item with the smell of death on you."

Bai Shi placed the prayer book in front of Miliye and was stunned for a moment when he heard the second half of the sentence.

The item with the smell of death, is it referring to the dead root I got yesterday?

Bai Shi took out the dead roots from his small bag, only to find that the layers of cloth wrapped around the dead roots had grown black thorns, with the spikes protruding from the cloth.

"You're right, I really should deal with this now."

"Then I'll trouble you with the prayer, Mr. Millie."

The Dead Root's current state looked like it couldn't be carried around any longer.

Bai Shi said goodbye in a hurry and prepared to go to Da Ci Fu first to see if D was there and give the dead root to him for sealing.

Seeing Bai Shi leave, Miliye breathed a sigh of relief.

Miliye first released a small magic of his own creation, then opened the prayer book wrapped in human skin and pretended to flip through two pages.

After making sure that Bai Shi was completely gone, Miliye sighed.

"Oh, come on. If I had known that something like this would happen, I wouldn't have agreed to it."

"But since I've already promised, I have no choice but to do it."

Milière swallowed the local prayer book in one gulp.

Miliye swallowed the prayer book without chewing it, filling his stomach completely.

Feeling the disgusting feeling of the slippery human skin on the prayer book sliding down his esophagus, Millie almost retched.

Although the turtle's body is long-lived, it certainly has many inconveniences.

For example, reading and writing were quite difficult for Millie, and he knew this a long time ago.

So he invented some small magic, such as writing with magic and turning pages of books with magic.

But this was too troublesome and inefficient, so Millier studied another way of reading.

That is to eat it, use magic to digest the book in your stomach, and break it down to learn various magical prayers.

From then on, he was able to avoid the impact of his huge body on his studies and read widely.

This previously lazy method now came in handy for him as his limbs were almost paralyzed.

Millie was analyzing the prayer book bit by bit in his stomach, and he was amazed by its contents.

This prayer book actually records the black flame that was once used by Queen Xiao Se Yan and her subordinate Divine Skin Nobles and Divine Skin Apostles.

This is the powerful black flame that was once used to hunt gods.

However, after the destined death was sealed, the black flame became incomplete.

Although the prayers in this book are not used by the Divine Skin nobles and Divine Skin apostles, they are only the prayers of believers and followers.

But it should not be underestimated either, as it is not a secret method that can be found easily.

Milière had completely put aside his prejudice against the material of the book and began to study it carefully.
-
Bai Shi was teleported from the blessing at the entrance of the Church of Marriage to the Round Table Hall.

He first walked around, trying to find D.

However, before he finished walking around, D actually ran up to him.

Bai Shi saw D and quickly called him over.

"D, I'm just looking for you."

D nodded and said:
"I just sensed the breath of death, so I came here to look for it."

"I was wondering who brought the dead roots to the Round Table Hall. It turned out to be you."

Bai Shi took out the dead root from his small bag.

Now there are more and more death thorns on it, and it is almost turning into a thorn ball.

D's eyes twitched as he watched Bai Shi wrapping the dead roots with cloth.

D quickly took the dead root from Bai Shi, and then began to seal it with the Holy Law.

While sealing, D also reminded Bai Shi:
"Master Bai Shi, although I know that you are very powerful, this is about dead roots, so please be more careful."

"The breath of death is extremely terrifying to the living. Even you may not be immune to it."

"Next time if this happens again, you don't have to carry it with you, just leave the dead roots there."

"It will still take a long time for the dead roots to produce new dead beings. We can still clean them up later, but if it affects the body, it will be bad." Bai Shi nodded quickly.

Speaking of Dead Roots, now that I have chosen Faith, it would be a good idea to ask D to learn the Holy Law.

"Oh, D, I want to learn the Holy Law, so that I can deal with those dead borns more easily in the future."

"I don't know if you'd be willing to teach me."

D had just used the Holy Law to seal the dead root. When he heard Bai Shi's words, he immediately looked up at him.

Although he was wrapped tightly in a helmet, Bai Shi could still sense his surprise.

D quickly calmed down and agreed to Bai Shi:

"If you want to learn, then of course you can."

"Spreading the Golden Rule is one of my responsibilities."

If there is a strong person like Bai Shi who is willing to help eliminate the Deathborn, then this is undoubtedly a good thing.

He had witnessed Bai Shi's strength with his own eyes.

The previous Tibia's calling ship was an opponent that he had to fight a life-and-death battle with and go through a hard fight to defeat.

But Bai Shi's move was completely casual, just like he was exercising his body, and he easily took care of the Summoning Ship.

Now another Tibia's calling ship has been destroyed.

D took Bai Shi to his room.

D often collects information about the locations of the Dead Born in the Great Blessing, and also has a room as a base.

The two sat down opposite each other in the room, and D immediately began to explain the fundamental principles of the Golden Rule to Bai Shi.

This is what you must know to study the Holy Law.

"The Holy Law is an offshoot of the Golden Rule's fundamentalism, specifically designed to destroy the Deadborn."

"Golden Rule Fundamentalism, as the name suggests, is the underlying logic of the Golden Rule. Therefore, it requires not only faith but also sufficient wisdom."

“The core of Golden Rule fundamentalism lies in two principles—the principle of regression and the principle of causality.”

"These two principles are very difficult to explain and are very obscure. Even though I have been studying them for a long time, I still haven't mastered them completely."

D paused, then continued:
"But fortunately, as a hunter of the Dead Born, I don't need to master such advanced theoretical knowledge."

"You just need to learn the extended method of use, which is the Holy Law."

"The existence of the Deathborn has tarnished the Golden Law. The Holy Law is the wrath of the Golden Law and is necessary to hunt the Deathborn."

"Because I cannot show you the prayer of the Holy Law of Death in the Hall of the Round Table, but I can teach you the Holy Law Sword first."

"As long as you can perform this prayer, the light of the Holy Law will be attached to the sword, causing great damage to the Dead Born."

Bai Shi also started looking forward to it. Adding buffs to weapons not only helps in combat, but most importantly, it looks cool.

D picked up an ordinary sword that was lying in the room.

The tightly twinned swords he used were special weapons that could not be given attributes by any other means, not even the same holy law.

You must use magic to activate the power of the holy sword.

This is also a manifestation of the regressive principle in the fundamentalism of the Golden Rule, that is, everything converges towards "unchanging".

D holds the Holy Seal in his left hand and raises his weapons with both hands.

As the holy mark flashed, an emblem with three rings framed by an inverted triangle appeared on the sword.

Then, a golden glow appeared on the sword.

After demonstrating once, D began to teach step by step.

At the very beginning, the basic doctrines must be explained clearly.

If there is a misunderstanding of the doctrine, the consequences are not as simple as not being able to pray.

In that case, simply failing to pray could even be considered a good thing.

Golden Rule fundamentalist prayer requires not only faith but also intelligence.

However, D had seen Bai Shi using magic near Shuihuan Village before, and it didn’t look like low-level magic.

I believe this point will definitely meet the requirements. The only thing I don’t know is whether Bai Shi’s belief in the fundamentalism of the Golden Rule is firm enough.

After all, faith is something that the Faded Ones cannot improve through runes, and they can only rely on themselves to constantly strengthen their faith.

It is the consensus of the Faded Ones that Rune can only strengthen the various qualities of the body and increase the storage of magical power.
-
After sending Bai Shi out, D sat back on his bed, feeling uneasy for a long time.

Under his guidance, Bai Shi was able to use the Holy Law Blade very smoothly.

This surprised him greatly.

Although this basic prayer does not require sincere or fanatical faith, as long as you begin to truly believe, you will be liberated.

However, the Holy Law sword wielded by Bai Shi shone brightly, which was simply not something a beginner could unleash.

Judging from the brightness of the light, Bai Shi’s belief in fundamentalism is not low and he has already reached the level of a true believer.

I don't know him. Is this really his first exposure to Golden Rule fundamentalism?

D shook his head. He knew that this was indeed his first time to come into contact with fundamentalism.

If Bai Shi was originally a believer in the Golden Rule, then this could be explained.

Because Golden Rule fundamentalism is the foundation of the Golden Rule, belief in the Golden Rule can basically be synchronized with fundamentalism.

After all, the two are the same existence, and most parts are compatible.

Just like the belief in the golden tree and the belief in the ancient golden tree, there is no contradiction at all in believing in both at the same time.

It would be truly impossible if two contradictory beliefs were used.

Because they are completely opposite in doctrine and power, it is impossible for anyone to pray like that.

Since Bai Shi is a believer in the Golden Rule, D is relieved.

It is a blessing to have such a person to help.

After Bai Shi had been introduced by him and connected with the 'beast priest' Gulange, he had time to deal with other things.

Next, he planned to go to the village mentioned in the message.

According to the information he had received before, he might be able to follow the clues from there and find the centipede ring.

If we can find some clues from it, then maybe we can find out the reason why the dead were born.

In this way, there will be a chance to completely eradicate the Deadborn from the border area, so that the Golden Law will no longer be tarnished...

"咚咚-"

A soft knock on the door interrupted D's thoughts.

D thought it was Bai Shi who had returned, so he stood up and opened the door without hesitation.

When he opened the door, an unexpected figure appeared before him.

The visitor was wearing a large pointed wizard hat and an aristocratic outfit embellished with delicate decorations.

A face with a relaxed smile was facing D, and the two looked at each other.

The man at the door was D's former best friend, Roger.

Roger waved, a little awkwardly.

After all, he was reconnecting with a friend with whom he had already parted ways, so he was not as calm as he looked.

Roger spoke hesitantly and greeted D:
"Hey...D, wanna talk sometime?"
