Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 188 Battle Festival Begins!
Bai Shi took a deep breath and decided to get in touch with those people more often in the future.

There is no doubt that a lot of information and intelligence can be obtained from them.

This piece of information about Michaela is crucial.

After receiving warnings about Michaela from Lani and Iggy, the more he knew about Michaela, the safer he would be.

The original game's plot was so incomplete.

Although most of the plots of the demigods and regions can be pieced together, some deeper aspects are not shown at all.

For example, why did Marika smash the ring, who is Michaela, who is the Queen of the Night Eyes...

The game itself lacks too much plot.

Normally, such a popular game would definitely have a DLC to supplement the plot (and make money).

But the players in Baishi's world have been waiting for many years, but there has been no movement.

Bloodborne is now available on PC, the mecha core has been released to level 16, and even the trailer for GTA7 has been released.

There is no news about the DLC and sequel of Old Man Huan.

Every time I ask the old thief, he says he is doing it.

The game will still be playable and fun, but the discussion will disappear.

Without DLC and new games to maintain popularity, the discussion about a game is ultimately limited.

Environmentalists had become extinct in 2043, when Bai Shi died.

After all, there is no point in waiting for something that you know will not come out.

It’s better to play a new game and do plot analysis while it’s still hot.

That is to say, Bai Shi, this weirdo, will never get tired of playing with the old man's ring.

I also look through the garbage in the ancient forums and read environmental reasoning.

Bai Shi thought about it and decided that a completely unknown situation was not actually a bad thing.

He has always wanted to explore the hidden truths in the border area.

There is no starting point for deeper exploration based on the known plot, but it is different with Michaela.

Being completely unknown means that you will gain something no matter what.

Through Michaela, we can at least know the relevant plots of Malenia, Mung, Godwin, and Latan.

Malenia and Monger have the most scenes with Michaela in the game.

The text on the golden tombstone and Bai Ling can show that Michaela and Godwin are connected.

And Latan...

Since Michaela appeared after the Ionian War, it is likely that he instructed Malenia.

Therefore, it was actually Michaela who wanted Malenia to fight Latarn.

There must be a relationship between the two of them.

I just don’t know if it’s an enemy or what.

While Bai Shi was thinking, Jie Lian was also thinking.

Michaela and Malenia are twins.

And Malenia absolutely obeys Michaela, and this is known to everyone in the border area.

After all, Marlennia is proud of the name "Michaela's Blade".

Mikaela appeared in Gaileed, and it was after the Ionian War.

In other words, was Malenia actually sent by Michaela to fight General Latan?
But what for?

Or was Malenia out of control? She didn't say a word at the time.

Regardless, Jie Lian was ready to find out.

Now there are suddenly a lot of things to do after the battle festival.

At first, Jerry planned to leave Red Lion City and leave Gailed after the battle festival.

At that time, Jerry felt that there was no hope for this land.

So he was going to punish Kalia's enemy, the greatest disaster in the history of the magic academy, the 'Cube Witch' Selian.

Then after completing the final responsibility of this life, find a place to die peacefully.

But the perfumer Hilbert brought by Bai Shi undoubtedly made him see the possibility of curing the scarlet corruption.

Therefore, we must once again put the governance of scarlet corruption first.

After all, this is the long-cherished wish of the Red Lions.

However, today, after Freya came back, he had even more things to investigate.

That is, what role did Michaela play in that war?
Although things were getting more and more complicated, Jie Lian was very happy.

This is a good thing!
It is better to have a goal than to have no idea about anything and wander in painful struggle.

Even if it is difficult, as long as he knows what he should do, he will stick to it without hesitation.

In any case, thanks to Freya, Bai Shi and Jie Lian both learned a lot of information that they had never known before.

Jie Lian suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, Lord Baishi, I mentioned this to you before."

"A legendary weapon is preserved in the Red Lion City: the Relic Great Sword."

"The battle festival is about to begin, why not go get it?"

Bai Shi nodded. He agreed the last time Jie Lian said he would give him the Relic Greatsword.

After all, he still needs to collect legendary weapons and complete achievements to unlock the number of Feng Ling Yue Ying.

But as we were still far away from the battle festival, I did not bring it with me.

Jie Lian asked someone to take Bai Shi to the warehouse where the relic sword was stored.

As the extremely huge and heavy stone box opened, a heavy and huge sword appeared in front of Bai Shi.

A line of small words appeared in front of my eyes: Ruin Greatsword +7.

This oversized sword has almost no workmanship and is extremely crude.

This is because this weapon was originally made from unbroken stones among the ruins that fell from the sky.

As a weapon, it is far too heavy.

With Bai Shi's current strength, waving it with one hand would be difficult.

It must be held with both hands or a large rune must be used to enlarge the size.

However, the huge weight also brings unparalleled lethality.

However, the above-mentioned Honkai Wave combat skills are a bit useless for Bai Shi.

After all, the Comet Torrent of the Sword of Night and Fire is too powerful.

Bai Shi still plans to use the Relic Greatsword as a blank melee weapon.

And although it is an extra-large sword, its actual length cannot be compared with the enlarged dragon hunting sword and spear.

It might not be useful in this battle, so Bai Shi did not study it in detail.

We have to find Hilbert.

Hilbert had previously been communicating with several very old red lions.

These Red Lions are both healers and warriors, and have tried many methods to cleanse the Scarlet Corruption before.

Although due to various reasons such as cost, effect, difficulty of production, and difficulty in obtaining materials, the actual efficiency is actually not as good as burning it with fire.

But now with Hilbert as a professional, they can also hand over all the ideas that had failed in the past to Hilbert.

If it could bring her some inspiration or help, that would be great.

Hilbert took off the heavy cloak of the fallen perfumer and wore simple light clothes to work.

She was processing a raw material and her hands were covered with unknown green slime.

Hilbert was so engrossed that he didn't even notice Bai Shi approaching her.

It was not until a long time later that she turned her head and reacted.

"Huh?!——It turned out to be you. You scared me."

Hilbert's hands kept moving. "Really? If you have anything to say, just call me directly. Why are you waiting here?"

"Isn't this because I'm afraid of disturbing you and causing any accidents?"

Hilbert shook his head.

"It's just processing materials, what's the problem?"

"In that case, wait for me for a moment."

"It's almost done. Let's talk about it after we finish it."

Bai Shi began to watch from the side.

Even though I can't understand anything.

This raw material has been processed into pieces, and it is impossible to tell what it was before.

After Hilbert had processed the ingredients and put them into the pot, Bai Shi spoke again:
"I brought the Crystal Cavern Moss from Stonevale."

Hilbert was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Bai Shi had said before that he wanted to grow moss in Nimgefu as the raw material for neutralizing incense.

"Is it growing so fast? I remember that crystal moss takes quite a long time to grow."

"Or is it that the output is not that large?"

Bai Shi said nothing, but poured all the crystalline moss out of the space disc, almost drowning Hilbert.

Hilbert crawled out of the moss and looked at the huge amount of moss in surprise.

“So many, that’s great!”
-
On the eve of the battle festival, Red Lion City held a grand dinner as scheduled.

On the table were bread, fruits and vegetables, as well as some low-quality wine that was hard to come by in the border area.

Apart from the wine, these are all very ordinary foods.

But Red Lion City hasn’t paid much attention to food for a long time, so this was considered a very thoughtful meal.

Most of the warriors in Red Lion City gathered in the square to attend this grand dinner.

Tomorrow, the battle festival will begin.

They all came to challenge General Ratan, and naturally they knew how terrifying Ratan's strength was.

In other words, the soldiers here are mentally prepared to die.

Therefore, on the eve of the festival, they sang and danced to their heart's content.

Everyone enjoyed the pre-festival carnival.

Prepare to die tomorrow with the highest spirits.

The knights of Oher stood on the ring and performed a sword dance by controlling the sword with air.

The warriors of the wilderness formed a circle and started wrestling with their new friends.

Soldiers from the highlands sang the war songs of their homeland as they stamped their feet; sailors from the seashore sang the sea ballads loudly...

Gaileed dared to cross the vast land just to participate in this great battle festival.

There is no doubt that regardless of their strength, they are true warriors.

Jie Lian appeared on the second floor of the square.

He raised high the unique flame-shaped sword in his hand.

During the long battle, this greatsword became the symbol of the Red Lion City.

A blazing flame burst out from the sword, turning it into a striking symbol on this starry night.

Everyone in the square could easily see him.

The various sounds gradually faded away, and everyone looked at Jie Lian.

Jairen stuck the burning sword into the ground.

The heat twisted the air around him, illuminating his iron old man mask.

At some point, his face beneath the mask had become as old as the old man on the mask.

But fortunately, the long wait will soon be over.

"My fellow warriors, since you have gathered here, you should all know what you are about to face!"

"The invincible warrior, the Star-Breaking General who sealed the stars, the strongest demigod in the Shattered War!"

Jie Lian changed the subject:
"But, sadly, General Ratan has been in a state of confusion."

"Marlennia's scarlet corruption not only corrodes the general's body from the inside out, but also drives the general's mind into madness."

"He gathered the corpses together and ate them without distinguishing between friend and foe..."

"Just like a wild dog, it has forgotten all its past glory..."

Jie Lian used a loud voice that could even be described as a roar to announce to the warriors gathered in Red Lion City:

"So, we will help the general regain the glory he had forgotten!"

“Warriors coming from all over the world!”

"The night sky is already filled with stars!"

"As planned, the battle festival will begin tomorrow!"

"Show your courage, your perseverance, your strength!"

"Give General Ratan an honorable death!"

The soldiers in the square drew their weapons, pointed them high into the sky, and let out a roar that echoed through the night sky.
-
After a night of revelry, everyone gathered in the square again.

But unlike before, everyone quietly packed up their equipment, striving to be in the best condition for the next battle.

Jie Lian was on the second floor of the square, making the final mobilization:

"The sky is full of stars, it's time for the festival!"

"General Ratan, the most powerful demigod in the Shattered War, is waiting for you."

"Warriors, fight! Defeat the general with honor and claim the Great Rune!"

"The battle festival has begun! The Ratan Festival has begun!!"

Without any further instructions, the warriors, led by the soldiers, took the elevator to the lowest coast of Red Lion City.

There, the Red Lions had already built a pontoon bridge for the warriors to reach the Weeping Dunes.

Warriors riding a variety of mounts were the first to set foot on the Weeping Dunes.

After reaching the Weeping Dunes, they couldn't find General Shattering Star for a while because the area was so vast.

Only after running on the endless sand dunes for a while did they see General Latan lying on the ground in the center of the dunes.

At this time, General Latan was supporting himself with his hands on the ground, with his back to the crowd.

There were dozens of spears of the corrupt knights stuck on its huge back, and it was biting a dried corpse in its mouth.

As they got closer, several riders on horseback raised their bows and arrows and shot at General Latan from a distance.

A few more tiny arrows were added to General Latan's back.

General Latan finally realized that he was approaching the enemy.

So he stood up from the ground, looked up at the sky and roared.

Latan took out the Lion Bow that had not been used for a long time from his back, and pulled out several bloody Knight Spears from his back and mounted them on the bow.

As the giant bow was slowly pulled to its full length, everyone felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.

So the cavalry's formation immediately dispersed.

But this doesn't help.

As the spears fell from the sky, several cavalrymen were hit accurately.

Whoever the Zunfu Knight's spear hits will be torn into pieces.

Just as the surrounding soldiers were rejoicing that they had escaped the first wave of attacks, gravity spread out over a dozen meters around the point where the arrows landed.

The surrounding warriors and mounts were all pinned to the ground by gravity.

Soon, blood gushed out of their mouths and noses, their eyeballs bulged out, and they stopped breathing.

The warriors dyed the sand dunes red with their blood for the first time in a long time, becoming the first victims of the battle ceremony.

But countless warriors stepped over their corpses, inherited their wills, roared, and rushed towards Latan one after another.
