Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 171: Lani: I have something important to give you...

The discussion between Bai Shi and Lani went very smoothly.

His strength and influence are both very much needed by Lani, who cannot appear in public.

The two swore an oath under the moonlight, relying on each other and walking side by side for a while.

"Oh, right."

As if she had thought of something, Lani suddenly spoke to Bai Shi:
"Speaking of which, I have something important to give you."

Bai Shi was stunned. What was this for?
Lani continued:

"The royal family of Kalia has inherited a rare sword. Are you interested in taking a look?"

"I think it would be very suitable for you to wield it."

If he wants to defeat his brother Latan and release the sealed stars, he must be strong enough.

Although Blaze was very loyal and volunteered.

But Lani also knew how big the gap was between Blaze's level and that of his brother Latan.

The level of strength at the border is not very clear, there is no division into stages or levels.

The weakest are the civilian residents, followed by minions, soldiers, and knights.

Among the knights there are high-level knights, such as the Storm Knight, who have combat capabilities beyond those of ordinary knights.

Magicians are also divided into low-level and high-level. Those who can wear the pyroxene stone mask are called high-level magicians.

Going further up, you will reach the level of heroes.

As for the hero level, the gap between the upper and lower levels is quite large.

The weakest heroes are just the best among the knights and can only gain a little fame in the army.

And powerful heroes have powers that rival those of demigods.

Of course, they are demigods who do not possess the Great Rune.

There used to be quite a few demigods in the border areas, especially the numerous descendants of the golden royal family.

They inherited powerful powers and had a starting point far beyond that of other lives.

But they are not absolutely powerful, and those powerful heroes can also compete with them or even defeat them.

Elissa, ordinary Crucible Knights, and Kalia Knights belong to this level.

As for the top heroes, I'm afraid there are only a few chief ones among the Crucible Knights and Kalia Knights.

However, there is a huge difference between the first generation of demigods and the creatures in the border area.

That is a complete difference in the level of power.

Including 'Golden' Godwin, the three siblings of the La family, and the Holy Tree Twins.

Their bloodline and strength are unquestionable, and even the top heroes pale in comparison to them.

Especially after some of them mastered the power of the Great Rune, they were able to be called an army of one person.

Not only did they improve their respective attributes based on the Great Rune, but they also mastered some of the power of the laws carried by the Great Rune.

Even though Latan had been corrupted by the Scarlet Corruption and fallen into madness, his strength had been greatly reduced.

It is absolutely impossible to defeat it with just Blaze and the other warriors participating in the battle festival.

At the border, the person most likely to defeat Latan now is Bai Shi.

Lani knew this very well.

For this purpose, armed white consciousness is quite necessary.

The sword inherited by the royal family of Kalia is powerful enough. Bai Shi can definitely further enhance his strength by holding it.

Although the sword and spear in Bai Shi's hand were not bad, they were just so-so in the eyes of the knowledgeable Lani.

It just so happened that in Lani's opinion, Bai Shi's cooperation conditions were a bit simple, and it could be regarded as compensating him with the sword.

After all, Bai Shi knew the location of the academy's magic key, so breaking into the academy was not a problem, and transferring souls was even easier.

When Bai Shi heard that there was a weapon that he could get for free, he naturally would not refuse.

The weapon that Lani offered to give him was probably the Sword of Night and Fire.

That weapon is also known as the Sword of Li and Pu in the game, so you can imagine how powerful it is.

And judging from the previous sword skeleton greatsword, the sword of night and fire here might be even stronger.

"Well, of course I'm interested."

"Collecting all kinds of weapons is one of the pleasures of life."

Lani chuckled twice.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Lani turned around and walked out of the room first, not forgetting to turn back and wave to Bai Shi.

It seemed that she was in a good mood today and was ready to lead Bai Shi personally.

But being in too good a mood is not necessarily a good thing.

As soon as Lani left, the four books on the chair were exposed.

Bai Shi glanced at the four thick books on Lani's chair, said nothing, and quickly followed.

If Lani's little trick was exposed, she would probably be angry and ignore Bai Shi.

Bai Shi followed him, and the two of them took the elevator down the magic tower together.

The black knife assassin had been leaning against the door, and when he saw Lani and Bai Shi coming out, he immediately stood at attention.

Lani glanced at the disheveled Black Knife Assassin, and then glanced at Bai Shi beside her.

"Slude has suffered a lot under your control."

It seems that Slude is the name of this black knife assassin.

Bai Shi shrugged and said helplessly:

"After I found her, I just wanted to borrow the black knife to take a look."

"But because she wouldn't stop no matter what, I had to be a little rough with it."

"But I didn't expect to find your information from the black knife."

Lani sighed.

"Really? What can I say? Fate plays tricks on me..."

Lani looked at the tattered black sword armor on Slud.

The Black Blade Armor was almost completely damaged, and Slude even had to hold it up with his own hands.

If he moves a few more times, the whole suit of armor will probably fall off.

"This suit of armor seems to be almost damaged. You should go change into new clothes later."

"It's fate that he happened to meet you even though you hid so deeply."

"After you change your clothes, you will follow this Storm King Baishi, obey his orders, and serve him as your master."

The expression on Slude's face was very interesting, but he still nodded in agreement.

"As ordered..."

Bai Shi was surprised to hear Slude's hoarse voice. She actually spoke.

Lani released a light blue mist, guiding the black knife assassin named Slude in another direction.

After watching Slude walk away for a distance, Bai Shi looked at Lani.

Bai Shi questioned Lani's decision to let the Black Blade Assassin follow her:
"Why should I let her follow me?"

Lani shook her head slightly.

"Why? Don't you like having her follow you?"

"She is quite powerful. You should have experienced it yourself."

Bai Shi shook his head.

"It's not that I don't like it. I'm naturally happy to be able to expand the power under my command."

"But isn't she one of your men?" "You just said that you don't have many people you can use. Why don't you let her continue to work for you?"

Lani nodded.

"That's true, but I don't have anything for them to do."

"Compared to strength or manpower, what is more important to me is not to reveal my identity and not to leak information."

"The identities of the Black Blade Assassins are too special, even if they are not wearing the Black Blade Assassin's equipment."

"Even if I change into unrelated equipment, it's easy for someone to spy on me because of my rare appearance."

"If they were found somewhere else, then Two Fingers could find me, which would be the worst for me."

"But it's different within Stoneville."

Lani paused.

"Even if the secret of one of your men is exposed and the news leaks out, it doesn't matter."

"Because no one will connect you to the night of the Black Knife conspiracy."

"For someone with a bright identity like you, who would dare to talk about your involvement with the Black Knife Assassins?"

"Who dares to verify their identities and origins in Stonewell?"

"You are an important partner. Expanding your influence and enabling them to take action will maximize your interests."

Bai Shi nodded, what Lani said did make sense.

If Black Knife was discovered, her existence would be exposed, so they were asked to hide before.

As for Stonewell, what does it matter if a few people walk on the streets normally?
Originally, white people advocated racial coexistence.

If anyone wants to search them for black knives, the Silver Knight will let them know what a hedgehog looks like.

Lani took out a map from the wide sleeves of her robe and handed it to Bai Shi.

"If you want, I can have the remaining few Black Blade Assassins who are recovering from injuries or hiding disguise themselves and follow and serve you."

"It's also quite good to let them hide in the dark and help you deal with some troubles."

"It's not impossible to let them be your maids."

Bai Shi certainly has no objection.

How could I refuse a few black knife assassins for free?

"Then when the time comes, I'll think about how to arrange them, and it will definitely not involve you."

Bai Shi took the map from Lani, which had five circled areas on it.

In addition to the two cemeteries with black knives in the game, there are three cemeteries or ruins that have not appeared in the game.

I'll receive it later. For now, let's go with Lani to see the sword.

Putting away the map, Bai Shi followed Lani out of the magic tower.

Lani slowly floated in the air and looked back at Bai Shi.

"Okay, call Torret out. This way it will be faster."

Bai Shi was a little surprised to see Lani flying.

"Are you using some kind of magic to fly like this?"

It would be much more convenient if I could learn the magic of flying.

You can even go directly to the Blood Dynasty or Sky City.

Lani turned around in the sky as if to show off to Bai Shi.

"Magic, of course. Do you want to learn?"

"Just find a moon."

Well, it looks like there’s no hope…at least not now.

Bai Shi decided to find some time to use the Great Rune to analyze the Crucible Bloodline of the Crucible Knights, and then learn their Crucible Wings.

After Torrett came out, he walked up to Lani and rubbed her hand affectionately.

Lani touched Torret's head and horns.

"Toret, you really chose a good master."
-
Bai Shi followed behind Lani on his Toret.

Lani did not take Bai Shi to the place in his memory where the Sword of Night and Fire was stored in Kalia Castle.

Instead, they headed towards the huge cliff behind the Kalia Castle.

When they arrived at the place, Lani clapped her hands.

The invisible wall disappeared, and a hole suddenly appeared on the cliff in front.

Lani and Bai Shi entered the hidden cave together.

Here, countless huge, brilliant pyroxene crystals are scattered throughout the cave.

In this cave, various items are placed on shelves.

There are a large number of military weapons and various props.

However, most of the shelves here are empty, and there are only a few shelves with things on them.

Lani walked in front to lead the way, while introducing the function of this cave to Bai Shi.

"After the night of the Black Knife conspiracy, I abandoned my own body and used this puppet body to hide behind the scenes."

"Here are some of the supplies I prepared for my brothers during the Shattered War."

"Even during the Shattering War, it wasn't completely consumed, and it has never been used since the end of the Shattering War."

"There are still a lot of things left here. If you want anything, just take it."

"The things I sent you during our previous cooperation were also taken out from here."

Bai Shi scanned the shelves and found not only weapons and props of Kalia's style, but also many props from other regions.

In addition, there are many scrolls, which probably record a lot of prayers and magic.

But without exception, almost all of them were used in war.

Lani felt helpless as she looked at the pile of supplies that had no place to be used.

"But there's nothing good left..."

"If there is anything truly valuable left, it's this side."

Lani clapped her hands to draw Bai Shi's attention away from the various strange props.

"Did you see it? In the stone box over there."

"I think it would be more pleasant for you to open it yourself."

Bai Shi looked at a huge stone box placed over there.

The stone box was quite heavy, and had gone through so much vicissitudes of life that even the carvings on it had almost been worn away.

"Then I'm welcome."

Bai Shi walked forward and opened the box.

In an instant, a long-dormant ancient aura emanated from the box.

I saw an extremely gorgeous sword lying in the stone box.

This is a straight sword, not very long, with a hollow blade and blades on both sides.

And on one half of the sword blade, there is a row of emerald green pyroxene crystals embedded. Looking at them, it is as if you are seeing the distant and ancient night sky.

The hilt is made of several red gems that are polished and glued together, and is inlaid with gold wire for connection.

At the end of the hilt, there is a golden decoration that looks like the top of a scepter, making it look more gorgeous.

It perfectly blends the two forces of the night sky and flames, making people feel a unique and mysterious power and charm.

This sword is not only a beautiful ornament, it is also an object that can evoke people's inner awe of the ancient times.

This is none other than the Sword of Night and Fire, one of the legendary weapons.

Bai Shi was instantly attracted by the sword of night and fire.

　There will only be one update for the next ten days or so. Because a relative in Northeast China is getting married, and it's far away from us, it's impossible for him to come back immediately after one or two days. My parents decided to go and play for a while, about ten days. It must be very inconvenient to write during that time. After all, I have to eat and go out during the day, so it probably won't be very good to write. I can only write at night at best. So I have to save some drafts before I leave, and I can only update once a day, so that I won't be unable to post an update when I'm there. I will update more after I come back around mid-July. By the way, the name of the Black Blade Assassin is after the Valkyrie sisters in fgo, which was suggested by the group members. It was really a great help∠(」∠)_
