Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 185 Famous Sword Yueying
The Red Lion City is now filled with warriors from all over the border area.

The number is not actually enough to refill the Red Lion City.

But compared to the Red Lion City, which was once only left with soldiers, it can now be said to have regained its vitality.

Bai Shi left the blessing and headed towards his room following the direction of his memory.

The room has always been reserved for Bai Shi, and no outsiders have entered.

But Bai Shi didn't go in, now is not the time to rest.

Bai Shi came to the next room and knocked on the door.

This is Hilbert's room. Bai Shi intends to give the crystal cave moss in his hand to her.

So much time has passed, and the ingredients for the neutralizing incense she has here should be almost used up.

But after knocking on the door, there was no response.

Bai Shi knocked twice more, but still no response. It seemed that Hilbert was not in the room.

After thinking about it, Bai Shi suddenly found that he seemed to have nothing to do.

But it would be too early to rest in the room now, as it is not even dark yet.

In that case, let’s go for a walk in front of the square.

You can meet Jie Lian and learn about the current situation in Red Lion City.
-
On the way to the square, Bai Shi met two acquaintances.

From their distinctive backs, Bai Shi recognized the identities of both of them.

'Half Wolf' Blaze and 'Iron Fist' Alexander.

Blaze and Alexander seemed to be heading to the square as well, and they talked about their views on the battle as they walked.

The two men walked side by side on the road, one on the left and one on the right, and their huge bodies almost blocked half of the road.

Alexander was originally quite large among the warriors, and because of the shape of the pot, his body was very wide.

Although Blaze was not as broad as Alexander, he was very tall and wore a thick and large fur cloak to keep warm, which also took up a lot of space.

Fortunately, the Red Lion City was not yet crowded, otherwise the two of them would have paralyzed the traffic on this road.

Bai Shi was a little curious about how the two of them knew each other, so he quickened his pace and walked behind them.

Hearing footsteps behind them, Blaze and Alexander both turned around to look.

Alexander raised his hand enthusiastically upon seeing Bai Shi and was the first to greet him:

"Oh oh! Isn't this just nonsense!"

"As expected, you found the way too. I told you that I would definitely meet you at the battle festival."

Alexander turned to look at Blaze:
"Blazer, this is the soldier I mentioned to you earlier who rescued me."

Blaze was a little surprised that Bai Shi appeared here.

He was called over after old man Iggy learned about the battle festival.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Bai Shi here as well.

That's right, Bai Shi wants to collect the Great Runes to become the King of Elden.

And as a warrior, he would definitely not miss the battle festival.

Blaze bowed slightly toward Bai Shi.

"Master Bai Shi, you are here too."

Alexander turned to look at Blaze, then at Bai Shi, somewhat surprised.

"Oh? So you two know each other too, haha, that's great."

Seeing that Alexander didn't seem to know Bai Shi's identity, Blaze took the initiative to introduce him:
"Alexander, this is Lord Baishi, the Storm King."

"It was he who defeated 'Limb-Graco' and recovered the Stonewell and Nimgefor regions."

Alexander hammered his right fist on his left palm and suddenly realized.

"Ohh, 'Storm King', I've heard of that name."

"I was wondering why the name Bai Shi sounded familiar to me when I heard it before."

"Oh, it seems I was a bit rude before."

Bai Shi smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't worry about it. I prefer to be treated as a warrior rather than a king."

"Speaking of which, how did you two meet?"

Alexander laughed out loud twice.

"This is a long story."

"If I had to sum it up, it's because Blaze is lost."

Blaze raised an eyebrow, annoyed that Alexander had called him lost.

"What? It's obviously you who got lost."

"I couldn't find my way inside the cave, and ended up getting stuck in front of an invisible wall."

"If I hadn't opened the invisible wall for you from another direction, you would have been trapped in that tunnel for the rest of your life."

Alexander immediately retorted:

"Huh? I just happened to be tired from walking, so I took a break in front of that wall."

"I was already planning to leave and find another way out. How could I be trapped there?"

"Also, why don't you tell me why you came from the opposite direction? That direction clearly came from Gallid."

"And it was me who brought you out of the tunnel later."

Blaze sneered.

"Then at least I found the way."

"It's much better than being stuck in front of a wall and just sitting there not knowing what to do."

The two people argued over who was lost.

It can be seen that they have a good relationship along the way, perhaps they can be considered good friends.

Based on their conversation, Bai Shi also roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Just like in the game, Alexander entered the Gaelic Tunnel from the trail in the Nimgefu area, wanting to go to the Red Lion City from there.

If it was a normal wooden wall or door in the game, Alexander would have simply dismantled the door and entered.

But this time, facing the invisible wall, Alexander was also trapped in the same place.

Although Alexander said he was ready to find another path.

But Bai Shi felt that it was definitely not such a coincidence. As soon as he got in front of the wall, Blaze broke through the invisible wall.

So Alexander must have spent a long time in front of the invisible wall.

Blaze also wanted to go to Red Lion City, but for some unknown reason, he entered the tunnel from the entrance on the Gaileyd side.

Then they found Alexander and connected both sides of the tunnel.

Should we say that two negatives equal a positive?

Two people with poor directions met each other because they were lost, and then found the right path.

But it seems that the two of them became friends because of this, which is a good thing.

Bai Shi stopped the two of them from bickering endlessly.

"Well, in that case, since we've already arrived at Red Lion City, it doesn't matter."

The two stopped arguing and quickly ended the topic.

Maybe they themselves know that they are directionally challenged, so they are reluctant to admit it.

"Oh, right."

Alexander opened the lid of his pot with one hand and reached in with the other to feel around.

Soon he took out a sword and handed it to Bai Shi.

"After exiting the tunnel, we happened to encounter the Red Lion soldiers."

"They said that inside that tunnel, a lava earth dragon occupied the deepest part of the tunnel."

"We helped them recapture the tunnel, and then they enthusiastically led us to Red Lion City."

"This sword was found where the lava earth dragon stayed."

"It just so happens that I feel that the thank-you gift I gave you last time was too meager, so please accept this weapon."

Bai Shi shook his head and didn't take it.

"The last time I helped you, it was just a small favor. There's no need to do this."

Alexander patted Bai Shi's shoulder and laughed. "Haha, if that's the case, just think of it as a gift from me as a friend."

"Weapons are useless to me. My fists are enough."

"Without a doubt, among all the warriors I know, you are the most suitable to use it."

Bai Shi looked at Blaze again.

The two of them defeated the lava earth dragon together, so naturally they had to ask his opinion.

In fact, what could Blazer have an opinion on?

Blaze shook his head.

He has his own royal greatsword.

Although it was cold carrying it on his back, it was proof of his oath to serve Lani and the only weapon he would use for the rest of his life.

And if we were to find a master for this sword, Bai Shi would definitely be the best candidate.

"In that case, I won't say much."

"If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."

Bai Shi took the famous sword Yueying.

I didn't expect that this weapon would appear in my hands in this form.

The famous sword Yueying is one of Bai Shi's favorite weapons and he has used it quite a lot in the past.

That’s perfect. Now I don’t have to run around everywhere in the future.

Blaze looked at Bai Shi and asked about the purpose of his visit.

"Master Baishi, are you also going to the Red Lion Square?"

Bai Shi glanced at the square which was not far away.

"Yes, I have been to Red Lion City last time."

"It's just that something happened later, so I left for a while and didn't come back until today."

"Because my companion who came here with me is not in the room, I want to go to the square to see if she will be there."

"If he's not here, then I plan to look for City Lord Jie Lian."

Blaze nodded, understanding the situation.

"So that's it."

"Then let's go together. We are also going to the square."

"There's a fighting arena in the square now. We're planning to go over there and try our hand."

"I don't know if your companion is here, but Master Jeremiah and Old Master Iggy are both over there in the square."

Bai Shi was a little curious, so he asked:
"Is Mr. Iggy here too?"

Blaze explained to Bai Shi:

"Yes, Lord Jelian was once a guest general of the Kalia royal family."

"Master Iggy and he have been friends for many years."

"This time, after hearing the news, Mr. Iggy and I both came here."

"It's just that Mr. Iggy went ahead and arrived a while earlier than me."

Bai Shi nodded. So that's it.

No wonder we only saw Igi’s forging platform in front of Kalia Castle, but not him.

It turned out that he had come to Galide.

That's perfect.

I got a lot of ordinary forging stones from Lani before, but I haven't used them to strengthen the dragon hunting sword and spear yet.

Although the Sword of Night and Fire is very powerful, it cannot be enlarged.

If Bai Shi has no intention of doing so, he will use the Sword of Night and Fire to release a comet torrent in the distance.

If it was an enemy like Latan, Bai Shi would rather have a bloody battle with him.

Using the Great Rune to enlarge the body to engage in battle is a sure thing, and the Dragon Hunting Sword and Spear are the most suitable weapons.

However, the +12 Dragon Hunter Sword and Lance will not last long when it encounters Latan's Star Crusher Greatsword.

I'll go find Grandpa Iggy to strengthen it later.

So the three of them went to Red Lion Square together.

Along the way, Bai Shi also met all kinds of warriors.

The square was extremely lively, as most of the Red Lion City's soldiers were here.

Everyone gathered around an enclosed arena where two people were sparring.

Both were faders, had decent skills, and were of similar strength.

The sound of fierce weapons colliding made many of the audience below excited and waited for the next one to go on stage to fight.

However, in Bai Shi's eyes, they are not yet strong enough to be heroes, and are just weaklings fighting each other.

So Bai Shi looked around the square to see who was there.

In the square, Bai Shi saw many familiar faces.

These included the very distinctive Faded Ones such as 'Big Horn' Tragos and 'Fearless' Lionel, who would have appeared in the battle festival.

In addition, the 'Ancient Knight' Yitsubang is also here.

Bai Shi even saw Bernal wearing a full set of beast armor in the corner of the square.

There were also a large number of other faded people of various kinds, dressed in various styles.

Including several faded people gathered together, all wearing the costumes of Savage Warriors.

Some were bare-handed, with bandages wrapped around their hands and feet, like warrior monks.

Some even came from Stonewell, and they bowed respectfully when they saw Bai Shi.

Besides these there are many who are not faders.

For example, there was the Storm Knight Moraka who had once met Bai Shi and performed a dragon feast.

A knight who uses chi and came from the destroyed small country of Oh.

Two shirtless gladiators holding axes.

The flame martial arts monks sat together, silently reciting the teachings...

There are all kinds of characters, all of them are warriors who come here to participate in the battle festival.

In order to challenge General Latarn.

For the warriors, it is an honor to be able to fight against General Latan.

However, Bai Shi felt that if they relied on themselves alone, they might not be able to defeat General Ratan.

There are only about twenty people whose strength is worthy of mention, and the remaining one hundred or so people are not that strong.

The Night Cavalry could trample them to death in one go.

While thinking about something, Bai Shi suddenly smelled a bloody smell.

It is very fresh blood, just flowing out of the body.

Although the two people in the ring fought fiercely, not much blood was shed.

Where did it come from?

Those present were all experienced warriors, and they all noticed something was wrong.

In the square, something dangerous appeared.

Even the two people on the ring stopped attacking and defending, looking vigilantly at the source of the bloody smell.

A space was quickly cleared among the crowd, revealing the crime scene.

There were three men on the ground there.

It was as if time had been stopped, and everyone remained in motion.

There are two people with their backs to Bai Shi, and only their backs can be seen.

But opposite them sat a man who was facing the white consciousness.

Therefore, Bai Zhi could see the blood-stained wooden old man mask on his face.

This man is the great swordsman of the Land of Reeds, the nameless Shura - 'Old Man'.
