Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 202 'Eternal City'

Unfortunately, the subsequent experimental results were still unsatisfactory, and the giant dogs fell one after another.

After the later ones died, Bai Shi stopped releasing sunlight on their corpses.

Once the giant dog fell down, Hilbert was asked to perform an autopsy to study the cause of death.

Bai Shi looked at the giant dog's internal organs that had completely turned into plants and shook his head.

Although these giant dogs were already seriously injured and in poor condition, it would be difficult for them to survive the experiment.

But it is enough to show that the success rate is too low.

It is quite difficult for a life combined with corruption to survive in this state.

It is not yet certain that there is absolutely no way to succeed.

In short, if you want to use sunlight for cleaning, people must be evacuated in advance.

In the Red Lion Legion, it is not uncommon for people to be infected with corruption as a result of fighting against the Scarlet Corruption.

However, although there are no successful cases, Bai Shi has not gained nothing.

If the intensity of sunlight is high, the Crimson Corruption seems to directly sense the conditions sufficient to achieve 'fertility'.

At that time, they will not expand, but will start transforming directly.

If this can be used properly, perhaps some results can be achieved.

Unfortunately, when we discovered this, there was only one giant dog left, so we could only wait until the next batch of experimental materials to try again.
-
At night, Bai Shi looks up at the flowing starry sky and thinks about the scarlet corruption.

After two more days of research, progress on the plants transformed by scarlet corruption stalled.

There has been little experimentation with living decaying organisms.

Scarlet Corruption is, after all, the power of the gods. Although we knew it would be difficult to resolve, we didn't expect it to be so difficult.

However, with the power of the sun in hand, at least there is a way to break the deadlock.

At worst, we can just burn it all and let the flames cleanse everything.

Bai Shi thought about it and decided to leave Red Lion City tomorrow.

Since there is no progress in the short term, let's go to the 'Eternal City' Noklongen first.

When tomorrow morning comes, use the blessing to teleport to the edge of the fog forest of Nimgefu, and then go to Noklongn from there.

Get the hunting finger knife in your hand, so that you can feel more at ease in the future.

The Hunting Finger Knife can now be said to be a real artifact, with special attacks against fingers, and it is definitely not weak.

Once Lani has shaved the finger that chose her, you can take the hunting finger knife into your own hands for future use.

Well, we can start planning how to rescue Grandpa Iggy and Blaze.

Old man Iggy was killed by a black knife, and Blaze would be controlled by two fingers and go crazy.

It is certain that the two-fingered men have black knife assassins who can be ordered around.

If Grandpa Iggy stayed in Stoneville, there wouldn't be any big problems.

The ancient king has been sitting in Stonewell. Surrounded by a storm, even if it is a spirit, its detection ability is not comparable to that of ordinary consciousness.

With the ancient king's investigation, the black knife assassin basically can't get in.

The black knife assassins themselves are not that strong.

The only thing you have to be careful about is the destiny of death on the black knife, which is a powerful weapon.

Considering his destined death, Bai Shi felt that he would have to deal with it personally when Black Knife appeared.

As for Blaze, his problem is actually quite easy to solve.

The mirrored helmet on Iggy's head can repel all interference, including the 'Supreme Will' and its messenger fingers.

If there is a second mirror helmet, then giving it to Blaze will solve the problem.

However, this was probably not created by Iggy, but was found among the relics of the Knox Dynasty.

Since there is only one, then naturally only one person can wear it.

But Bai Shi knew there was a place where he could find another mirror helmet.

That mirror helmet is called the Knox Mirror Helmet, and its shape is different from Iggy's mirror helmet.

Bai Shi remembered that the mirror helmet was probably located in the underground cemetery of Lienia, so he could just look for it later.

but……

Bai Shi thought about the shape of the mirrored helmet and couldn't help wondering if Blaze's wolf face could wear it.

A slight modification to the shape shouldn't affect the functionality...

"Bai Shi, what are you thinking about?"

Melina's voice rang out, bringing Bai Shi's wandering thoughts back to his senses.

Bai Shi lowered his head and looked at Melina beside him.

"I wonder if there is any way to cure the scarlet corruption on Galeed."

"You've seen in previous experiments that the sun's power is not omnipotent."

"There are all kinds of things to consider, but fortunately, it's not completely clueless."

Melina nodded.

"But remember not to push yourself too hard..."
-
On the next day, Bai Shi was teleported to the edge of the misty forest through blessing.

This was where he first fought against the Night Riders.

This is also the place where I later met Blaze and Lani, and reached a preliminary cooperation with Lani.

However, Bai Shi never explored this place again, but left it to his Faded Ones.

After all, to explore the underground world under the foggy forest, more people are needed for convenience.

Bai Shi also asked them to liberate Hyde Fortress.

In addition, the red crystal dew drops and the green crystal dew drops nearby were also collected.

Following the avenue, Bai Shi crossed the natural arch bridge formed by the remains of giant ruins and arrived at the Third Church of Malika.

Bai Shi remembered that there seemed to be a motto left by Marika here.

But I can no longer remember the specific content of the proverb.

And Melina was very interested in these maxims, so Bai Shi felt that he needed to bring her over to have a look.

Soon, the two arrived at the Malika Third Church.

The Malika Third Church is an unprecedented and huge church. Although it is in ruins, one can still see its former glory from its area.

This church is much larger than the Pilgrimage Church, Malika Fourth Church and Karl Baptist Church that I have seen before.

There is also a huge statue of Malika here, and there is a large stone basin on the ground next to it.

This is a container that can hold dew drops. The Golden Tree Priests once used this stone basin to bestow dew drops on everyone.

Bai Shi had asked someone to bring the holy grail and the elixir bottle in the church, so the church was empty.

As soon as she entered the church, Melina felt that this place also had mottos.

Melina has always been interested in the mottos left by the missing Queen Malika.

Because maybe we can find out what happened in the border area in the past, and it would be even better if we can know Queen Marika's purpose.

"Bai Shi, there seems to be a motto left by Queen Marika here."

Bai Shi smiled. As expected, Melina was attracted by the proverb.

"Is that so? What does the Book of Proverbs say?"

Bai Shi saw Melina's blurry figure standing in front of Marika's statue, then she put her hands together on her chest, as if she was listening to something.

After a while, Melina turned around and trotted over to Bai Shi. Melina sometimes couldn't react to Bai Shi's sight and occasionally made some very cute gestures.

Of course, he looks pretty cute after he realizes what’s going on.

Bai Shi couldn't help but give thumbs up to those two great gods.

Thanks to their surge in sensitivity, they now have the ability to see spirits.

After that day, Bai Shi also confirmed that his sensing attributes had improved significantly.

The 65 points of sensitivity instantly became his highest normal attribute.

In addition, induction seems to be a property similar to clairvoyance, which can enhance perception and interaction with other beings.

The power of some prayers will also be enhanced as a result.

Melina stood in front of Bai Shi and spoke:
"Then let me repeat the words of Proverbs."

“My king…”

Melina looked up at Bai Shi, and through Marika's advice, she secretly expressed her feelings.

"I will take away your blessing, you warriors of the king."

"When your eyes grow dim and fade, I will banish you from the border."

"Fight, live, and die outside the border."

Melina propped her head up with her hands, pondering the words over and over again.

"There is no useful information in this maxim..."

"This seems to be the first sentence of the motto we found last time."

"But...it's really strange."

"From the proverbs, we can see that Queen Marica had already planned to fade and exile King Gefulei's army, but we don't know why she did this."

Bai Shi also imitated Melina's actions and began to think.

"Yeah, what's going on?"

Melina blinked her right eye at Bai Shi.

"You're the Fader, don't you know any news?"

"I'm not an old fellow who was exiled before, what can I know..."

"That's right... So, are you copying my moves?"

"No way, it's obviously you who are imitating me."
-
After coming out of the ruined Marika Third Church, Bai Shi did not rush to the meteorite crater, but came to the back of the church.

There is also a portal leading to the Beast Temple behind the church, but Bai Shi is not going there this time.

Bai Shi stood at the foot of the cliff and looked upwards.

There is a protruding rock on the cliff, and the arm of a dead body can be vaguely seen.

Bai Shi found the right spot and, with the help of the power of the storm, jumped lightly on the rock wall.

Stepping on the protruding rocks, Bai Shi jumped onto the rock.

A golden-red sword was stuck in the body of the corpse.

Bai Shi pulled it out of the corpse, and with a storm, it cleaned it up.

This weapon is called the Sword of Ohr.

It is a precious sword that was passed down from the small country of Oher, and it is said that it will never decay.

Bai Shi intends to take it away and study the combat skills on it - Ouhe Sword Dance.

The Ouhe Sword Dance is a move that uses "Qi" to drive and dance the sword. Bai Shi is very interested in this kind of power.

After jumping off the cliff, Bai Shi rode on Torret and moved forward along the road in the misty forest.

The area around this avenue has now been cleared.

Because of his previous collaboration with Lani, Stonewell was responsible for exploring the Shifra River basin underground in this area.

This requires a large number of manpower, and material logistics also need to be maintained.

Therefore, we must have trolls pulling the carts to travel back and forth, and we can’t let the rune bears cause trouble nearby.

Now the mountain monsters no longer have to be pierced by iron sticks while pulling carts, and they can unleash their fighting power when they encounter danger.

But Rune Bears are also quite difficult beasts to deal with. Even the trolls pulling carts may be attacked by Rune Bears, and they are not afraid at all.

Not to mention the countless Rune Bears in the fog forest.

So at that time, Bai Shi sent quite a lot of Faded Ones and also brought some Storm Knights.

Wild animals such as rune bears have been cleared or driven away by group hunting.

By the way, they also cleaned and repaired the roads in the fog forest area.

Now Bai Shi was moving very smoothly and came all the way to the mist forest ruins, to the huge crater created by the meteorite.

The meteorite was extremely terrifying. Not only did it smash through the ground, it also destroyed many surrounding areas.

Things like the Fog Forest ruins and the large forest nearby have now been completely wiped out.

The people in the nearby Hyde Fortress must have been terrified at the time.

Now some soldiers from Hyde Fortress have come out to stand guard near the meteorite crater, and they all saluted when they saw Bai Shi.

Bai Shi stopped in front of the area where the huge meteorite hit.

This deep pit is filled with extremely terrifying gravitational energy.

This terrifying force even directly destroyed the original gravity of this area.

Here, there is even an abnormal phenomenon of countless huge rocks floating in the air.

Bai Shi stood on the edge of the crater and looked down, but he couldn't see how deep it was.

So Bai Shi jumped towards one of the boulders.

When reaching the air filled with gravity, Bai Shi's body instantly floated up as if he was weightless.

Bai Shi was slightly surprised that this power made him float like an astronaut.

After experiencing the feeling of flying, Bai Shi began to use the wind to propel himself towards the boulder in the air.

However, Bai Shi was also very cautious and kept huge rocks under him at all times to prevent the gravity field from returning to normal and causing him to fall into the bottomless abyss.

As he went deeper into this vast area of weightlessness, Bai Shi also saw the buildings of the Eternal City.

A huge hole appeared at the edge of the deep pit created by the meteorite.

Many underground 'Eternal City' buildings collapsed, revealing a fake night sky behind them.

The buildings of the "Eternal City" had already been toppled over by Esti's destructive meteorite, and now they were completely crushed by the extremely huge meteorite.

Bai Shi didn't find the small entrance to the Eternal City like in the game, but now there are places everywhere that can lead to the Eternal City.

Bai Shi randomly found a direction that he liked and entered the ruins of the 'Eternal City' Noklongn from the ruins of the building.

As the body entered the building ruins, gravity began to return to normal.

My feet stepped on the ground again, and I felt grounded.

Bai Shi looked out the window on the other side of the building.

Below my feet was a large area of buildings from the 'Eternal City', the outlines of which stretched into the distant darkness.

Under the cover of darkness, the ruins of the building complex appeared particularly majestic, and the broken outlines were vaguely discernible under the reflection of the false night sky.

There is no one here anymore, only the magnificent ruins silently tell of the once extremely powerful dynasty.
