Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 173 My family, we’ve finally hooked up with a rich woman!

Bai Shi rubbed his chin with his fingers, and understood the Big Rune in Lani's eyes.

As an indigenous person, even as a demigod, he cannot avoid the disadvantage in information.

There are some things that only people like Bai Shi who have traveled through time know.

For example, the initial meteor that once fused with the furnace, and the original magic ring.

In fact, the term "Great Rune" only came into being after the original Elden Ring was broken.

All subsequent laws and circles were pieced together using fragments of previous laws.

Bai Shi raised the next question:
"Any information about the current users of the Great Rune?"

Ranie listed the Great Rune holders she knew:

"My mother, my two brothers, you, the twin sacred trees, the Blessed King, and the Black Sword all hold large runes."

"...No, there is one more."

"The 'evil omen demon' that appeared on the battlefield."

"The 'evil omen demon' is the one you defeated at the gate of Stonewell City earlier, but it was just one of his clones."

"According to Brother Latan who fought him, although he is the son of evil omen, he also seems to possess the Great Rune."

Bai Shi nodded.

Lani and the others didn't know that the 'King of Blessing' was the 'evil omen demon'.

No wonder they are considered two different people.

However, the two brothers Monget and Monger have a lot of plots in the game.

Therefore, it doesn't matter even if the information provided by Lani is not accurate. Based on the center of gravity of the Great Rune, Bai Shi can also guess some of its abilities.

What Bai Shi wanted to know more was the Great Rune from the Holy Tree Twins.

Marlenya's Great Rune can be guessed based on the game.

But in the previous life game, Michaela, who was only mentioned in the text, was still quite mysterious.

Bai Shi knew almost nothing about him.

Unfortunately, when Bai Shi asked about Michaela, Lani shook her head.

"Although I have had contact with both of them, I am not confident enough to exchange the secrets of the Great Rune with them."

"But Michaela is definitely worth watching out for. You need to pay more attention."

"During the Shattering War, I felt that he was prepared to conceal and betray us. His attitude towards Brother Latan was also very strange."

"But he mysteriously disappeared during the Shattered War. No one knows where he is hiding or what he is planning."

Bai Shi knew that he was abducted by Monger and taken to the Blood Dynasty.

Anyway, if he is in the Blood Dynasty, maybe there is no need to worry too much...

Having said that, Bai Shi still couldn't shake off his wariness towards Michaela.

Bai Shi thought about it over and over again, but he still couldn't figure out the reason for this strange feeling that came out of nowhere.

Lani thought about it and continued speaking.

She decided to tell Bai Shi about the power of Lakad and Latan Darun.

Lacard sought the power of the serpent, but was swallowed by the serpent instead, and has now become a man-eating monster.

As for Latan, he was infected with the Scarlet Corruption, which was incurable. He became insane and collapsed.

There was probably no chance of rescuing their two brothers.

Since you have already decided to kill your brother, you might as well tell Bai Shi all the information in advance.

Although she felt sorry for her two brothers, Lani was not the kind of person who would be unable to move forward because of this.

If telling Bai Shi the intelligence would help him defeat Brother Latan, then he should be told. This would be the decision that would best serve his current interests.

"As for the Great Runes of my two brothers, I will also tell you the effects here."

"The Great Rune of the two of them is also the source of almost all my knowledge of the Great Rune."

"The complete Golden Rule controls the cycle of life and death."

"From what I know, some of the Faded Ones received powerful blessings outside the border area and were resurrected because of this."

"Brother Latan and Brother Lakad's Great Runes contain the two parts of the Golden Law governing life and the law of returning to the tree and reincarnation."

"Brother Latan's Great Rune gave him extremely strong vitality, almost endless physical strength and magic power, and also gave him a very large body."

"As for the effect after the Great Rune is unsealed... it is very simple and direct."

"As long as he has the will to live, the Great Rune will heal his injuries."

"How far he can go depends on how determined he is."

Lani sighed.

"Unfortunately, my brother has a very strong will."

"When he was ambushed by the 'Evil Omen Demon' and had his chest pierced, he immediately recovered from his injuries and returned to the battle."

"Unfortunately, the opponent was difficult to deal with, and in the end, there was no clear winner between the two."

"But even if the body is intact, the scarlet corruption that corrodes the spirit and mind is something that the Great Rune cannot heal."

“But now, we have been struggling under the scarlet corruption for so long, thanks to the power of the Great Rune.”

Bai Shi frowned.

"With this effect, how can we kill him?"

"If he wanted to die, he would have given up long ago, but now he is still wandering around the battlefield. It must be because he doesn't want to die."

Lani shook her head.

"The Great Rune only brings an effect, it is not free of cost."

"Just like your blessing requires runes, even if my brother is still unwilling to die, his big rune can no longer support it."

"'When the sky is full of stars, the battle festival will begin'. This is the proof that his Great Rune is beginning to lose its effectiveness."

Bai Shi breathed a sigh of relief. That was all right.

"And what about your other brother, Lacade?"

Lani also told Bai Shi the truth:

"The Great Rune that Brother Lacard possesses increases the total amount of magic power, and also increases strength and the power of magic released."

"As for the effect after the Great Rune is unsealed, it is related to the reincarnation of the Return Tree. It is very complicated, but it is not very helpful in combat."

"But he also used the power of the Great Rune to perform a forbidden ritual and created a group of special creatures - snakemen, to supplement the army of the Volcano Mansion."

"He originally wanted to use the power of the Great Rune, and after consuming the power of the Great Snake, he would reincarnate himself through the ritual of 'shedding skin'."

"That way he can master the complete power of the God-killing Serpent by his own will."

"But he failed and was completely devoured by the snake. He probably lost the battle of wills."

"The effect of the Great Rune may have become completely different because it has been infected with the power of the Great Snake."

Bai Shi carefully wrote down all the information that Lani said.

These are contents that are not in the game and require special attention.

Moreover, Lani is almost the only way for Bai Shi to access this kind of information.

The attribute improvement brought by the Great Rune seems to be not only related to the location of the magic ring.

It seems to be related to the personality and ability of the person holding the Great Rune, so it may be distributed in this way.

As a general, Ratan is also the most powerful gravity mage, practicing both physics and magic. It is indeed most appropriate to have health points, blue bars, and green bars, which also matches the game.

Although Lacard's own fighting power is a little weak, judging from his use of the Sword of Profanation and the replication of spells into magic, he seems to be practicing both physical and magical skills.

Maybe it’s because his basic values are too low, so his strength and intelligence are increased.

After being swallowed by the giant snake, the rules changed to killing the enemy and taking away vitality.

Bai Shi remembered that Mongt's Great Rune had the most HP, probably because he was the Son of Evil Omen blessed by the Forge of Life.

From what we have seen so far, the power of the Great Rune is indeed beyond Bai Shi’s imagination.

Especially the additional effects after being unblocked, none of them are weak.

Although Greg's gravity ring adds bonus to all attributes, their single attribute bonus may be higher in value.

But how high?
Bai Shi didn't know either, after all, the basic stats of a demigod were different from those of a faded one.

After Lani told Bai Shi everything she knew about the Great Rune, she handed him a strange object.

It was a stone disc engraved with various secret patterns.

The more Bai Shi looked at it, the more familiar the shape of the disc seemed to him.

But I can't remember where I have seen this pattern and shape.

"I'll give this to you as well. If you want to take anything, just put it all here."

"Everything in this warehouse is yours."

"If you need anything, feel free to take it."

She can't use them anymore anyway, so she might as well use them all to arm Bai Shi's army.

After listening to what Lani said, Bai Shi finally realized that it was okay to put things in.

Well, isn’t this the large round stone plate on the ground outside the sealed prison?

But I don't know what means Lani used to shrink it into a very convenient size.

Lani instructed Bai Shi:
"You can store things in it, but there's not a lot of space inside, and it also loses the ability to carry living things."

"I have something to do. I need to go back to the Magic Tower first."

Although there are disadvantages, the storage space is not large, and it is impossible to stuff siege vehicles or the like.

But no matter what, this was Bai Shi's first time coming into contact with something like a space ring at the border.

Before this, Bai Shi had tried to find something with similar functions.

After all, space rings are very convenient, otherwise they would not appear in various works.

But no matter how much he inquired and searched, Bai Shi had never heard even a little information from anyone.

Should we say that a demigod is worthy of being a demigod?

Whether it is resources, power or strength, they are all levels that are difficult for other lives in the border area to reach.

Then Lani left first and returned to her magic tower.

On the one hand, she had to go back and reorganize the current intelligence and then plan the next step.

Bai Shi's joining gave her a great boost, and she could move towards her goal more aggressively.

On the other hand, she wanted to sleep.

The body of this doll cannot bear her soul, so she must sleep frequently, otherwise it will be a burden to her soul.
-
Bai Shi was left alone in the cave, and looking at the large amount of supplies, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Unexpectedly, I actually experienced the feeling of being kept by a rich woman.

Thank you for your generous sponsorship.

Bai Shi looked around.

The most abundant and precious thing in the cave is the large number of forging stones.

在这里存放了很多锻造石，从1到8都有，但是1到3少，最多的是4到6。

The number of 7 and 8 is quite small, and I am afraid it is not enough to strengthen a weapon.

Originally, when Kalia was mining pyroxene crystals, fractured crystals and the like, he would dig out some forging stones.

They also have tunnels specifically for mining forging stones, and the amount of forging stones is even greater.

During wartime, the lowest-level soldiers have high reinforcement requirements and a high loss rate, so they need to be constantly forged and strengthened.

Stronger warriors are more likely to survive the war and use less forging stones.

Therefore, the remaining forging stones are mostly the more precious 4 to 6.

And as Latan and Lakkad conquered cities and occupied land on the Yatan Plateau, their armies were sometimes able to capture local mines or confiscate forging stones from warehouses.

Many of the forging stones prepared by Lani were not used, and now they have all been lost to Bai Shi.

It just so happened that there was a warehouse full of items 1 to 4 in the Stoneville of Baishi, but it was almost impossible to find items above that.

These 5 to 6 forging stones are enough to strengthen many weapons for the army.

As for the discoloured forging stone, its quantity is quite rare compared to the ordinary forging stone.

In the mine, it takes a very long time before there is a chance to mine one.

But Lani has several sets of 1 to 6 faded forging stones.

Enough knowledge to upgrade several tarnished weapons to level 6.

In addition to this, there are two level 7 faded forging stones.

Anyway, Bai Shi only has a few weapons that he is familiar with, so these are completely enough.

These forging stones were originally difficult to move as there was no blessing nearby.

But using the disc that Lani gave me, I was able to easily store the forging stone.

After storing the forging stone, Bai Shi then began to look for other useful materials.

However, the others were not worthy of Bai Shi’s attention, as they were all things that Stonewell could make.

But the various magic scrolls and prayer books still surprised Bai Shi.

Magic from various schools is collected here, even pyroxene ice blocks and ice weapons.

In addition, the remaining magical knowledge of the Kalia royal family was also found.

Including Kaliah return, Kaliah circle and so on.

As for the prayers, it looked like they were picked up from corpses of other forces, and many of the prayer books were stained with blood.

Bai Shi also got the dragon prayer book of faith that he had been longing for, and can now formally learn various lightning prayers.

In addition, there are some prayers for the Golden Tree, including the classic buff prayer Golden Tree Oath.

All in all, Bai Shi gained a lot from this wave.

Both personal strength and the strength of his subordinates have been greatly improved.

But I'm afraid it can only improve this wave.

The two or three people under her could not use up all these supplies, so there was naturally no need to accumulate new supplies.

I'm afraid Lani doesn't have any other caves to store resources. The things here should be all the supplies she has left.

Bai Shi packed up all the supplies he wanted to take away and walked towards Lani's magic tower.

Melina's voice suddenly sounded beside my ear:

"Bai Shi, can I go and bless you later?"
