Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 203 Silver Tears
Bai Shi looked at this huge building city and couldn't help but feel a headache.

Noklong is very large, so there are no obvious road signs like in the game, and the buildings will not collapse or tilt on the road to become moving stepping stones.

There are no obvious roads in this huge building complex, which means you have to explore it on your own.

It would probably be quite difficult to find the right direction by yourself in such a huge place.

Not to mention that most of the buildings have been shattered in the previous destruction, and some places have turned into ruins with nowhere to stand.

The buildings that are still preserved today are embedded with many huge meteorites.

These are the meteorites that once destroyed the 'Eternal City' Noklongen, summoned by Esti from the void space.

The scale of the 'Eternal City' is quite large. This area probably functions as a residence and may have once been home to more than 100,000 people, or even more.

The Dark Realm where Bai Shi was going, where the Hunting Finger Knife was stored, should functionally be an important area of the Knox Dynasty and was physically isolated from this side.

Bai Shi stood in front of the window, looking around.

Finally, I found a faint orange light in the distance in one direction, which was very conspicuous in the purple night fog.

Since there is no other landmark to serve as a direction, we can only move towards the light in the distance.

However, Bai Shi did not rush there, but first walked down the stairs of the building under his feet, trying to reach the ground.

Because he was a little curious about what was at the bottom of the abyss of Noklongen.

But after going down a few floors, Bai Shi discovered that the lower half of the building was severely damaged and shrouded in night fog, making it impossible to see the situation clearly.

Bai Shi simply jumped out of the window and went to a building next door.

The building is relatively well preserved and there are signs of life inside.

Various living furniture were randomly thrown to the ground, and the debris was all over the floor.

Among them were some clay tablets with inscriptions on them that were incomprehensible to the naked eye.

Bai Shi picked up one of them, but found that all the items here seemed to be frozen in time. Except for the physical damage they had suffered, they had not been corroded over the long years.

Bai Shi looked at other objects and found that they were all like this, with a layer of silver on the surface.

I thought it was a material problem just now, but it seems that is not the case.

With so many different kinds of supplies, it is impossible for them all to be made of the same material.

Bai Shi recalled a material in the game - Night Dew Hepa.

The text of Night Dew Hephaestus seems to have mentioned that the dew on it has a 'mysterious' feel.

The "mystery" in the game is even a qualitative change attribute, which must be powerful.

Combined with the fact that the silver plants in the Eternal City do not float in the wind, perhaps it is the 'mystery' that permeates the false night sky that makes everything become like this.

In addition to this, the building that Bai Shi was in just now was also somewhat different from the building he is in now.

Although the architectural style is exactly the same, the internal space difference is quite large.

The space inside the previous building is just about suitable for humans of normal height.

This building is extremely large in terms of both interior space and the size of its doors and windows.

It looked like it was at least intended for creatures three or four meters tall.

However, although there are many things in these ruins, the only thing missing is the thing that should be here.

There is not even a single corpse here.

Bai Shi continued to move down the stairs with doubts.

The staircase in this building is still well preserved.

Although some places were destroyed by meteorites, you can still move downwards by jumping.

Along the way, Bai Shi also explored some other rooms, but there were no corpses there either.

However, some rooms contain many devices that reflect the lifestyle of the Knox people at that time, and people can be invited to conduct archaeological research in the future.

Soon, Bai Shi encountered the first living being he had seen so far.

It was a wriggling mass of silver tears that wandered around the room.

As soon as it discovered Bai Zhi, the silver teardrop immediately changed its shape.

The liquid body of the silver teardrop protruded upward and condensed into a sharp thorn that pierced the white consciousness.

Bai Shi easily dodged the incoming spike by leaning sideways and grabbed the thorn with his hand.

It feels very hard, just like real steel, but you can feel liquid flowing underneath the outer shell.

Bai Shi increased the strength of his hands and immediately broke the spike in the middle, and silver liquid splashed everywhere.

Bai Shi shook his hands and easily shook off the almost non-viscous liquid.

The silver teardrop squirmed and retracted the remaining half of the spike into its body.

Bai Shi also wanted to observe this special life form, so he did not chase after it immediately.

The silver teardrop seemed to have no sense of pain at all, and it immediately extended a second spike and stabbed at Bai Zhi again.

Bai Shi slashed his right hand, and a wind blade split the body of the Silver Teardrop into two.

However, such damage had no effect on this liquid metal-like creature. Under the wriggling of the silver tears, its body, which was split into two halves, pieced itself back together.

Silver Teardrops seem to have resistance to slashing damage.

So Bai Shi tried a new method this time and stuck his hand into the wriggling silver teardrop body.

Silver Teardrop reacted and immediately used hardening on its entire body.

But it is obvious that it can no longer prevent attacks from the inside out.

A storm burst out from the palm, blowing the silver teardrops into pieces and blasting them all around. The pool of silver teardrops was blown into countless pieces, and then there was no movement at all.

Bai Shi tried to search the corpse but did not find the core.

This type of teardrop is the most numerous, common, and lowest level teardrop life in the 'Eternal City'.

They only have a very weak ability to transform, and can change the shape of part of their body for attack or defense, but they have no other abilities.

If it is a more advanced teardrop, then you can release lightning on this basis.

Going further up, there are the most advanced imitative teardrops.

The bionic teardrops are quite powerful and are completely on a different level from these silver teardrops.

The mimetic teardrop can imitate the forms of other life forms and even completely replicate their powers.

And for Bai Shi, the most important thing is that he can take out the teardrop larvae from the bodies of the mimic teardrops.

The teardrop larva is the core of the bionic teardrops, and can be used to perform the secret art of "rebirth".

The children born by the Full Moon Queen using 'Rebirth' were all fragile and short-lived.

The reason is the incompleteness of the "rebirth". The key to solving the incompleteness problem lies in the amber egg held in the hand of the Full Moon Queen.

The amber egg contained the Great Rune of the Unborn that Radagon gave to Lenara.

With the help of the power of the Great Rune, the secret art of "rebirth" can be completed.

However, the Great Rune needs to be unsealed in the Tower of Divine Granting and the power of the Great Rune can be regained before it can be used.

However, the Great Rune of the Unborn One did not have the divine tower from which it could gain power.

This is when teardrop larvae are needed.

The teardrop larvae are the material that can be used in the amber egg to drive the power of the Great Rune that has no chance of being born.

After finding some teardrop larvae here, we can prepare to go to the academy to mold out Melina's body.

Bai Shi stepped over the pool of silver teardrop corpses on the ground and continued to move forward.

After going down a few more floors, Bai Shi could no longer go down.

Because the floors below were completely flooded.

Bai Shi looked out of the window on this floor and saw that there was a vast ocean outside.

The 'Eternal City' was flooded.

The water was as calm as a giant mirror, reflecting the brilliant fake night sky.

This once prosperous city is now dead silent.

Underwater, countless corpses lay there quietly, as if time had frozen at this moment, and everything was frozen at the moment the disaster occurred. These corpses would sleep forever in the silent abyss.

In despair and destruction, they became history along with the 'Eternal City'.

The corpses were piled up in a staggered manner, and I had no idea how many were piled up underneath.

Bai Shi took a quick look at the corpses.

Some were smashed to pieces by the rubble, while others were cut in half.

If it was caused by a meteorite falling, the body would definitely not look like this.

There is no doubt that all of this is the work of the young Esti.

It seems that there were not only adults of Esti who came to destroy the 'Eternal City', but also many young ones.

The way Esti and others destroyed the "Eternal City" was not to directly destroy the entire huge city area with meteorites.

Their meteorites caused great damage to the 'Eternal City', but it was not enough to completely wipe out the 'Eternal City' from the world.

They destroyed the 'Eternal City' by killing most of the lives that lived in it.

Among these corpses, many were very large, including some human-shaped skeletons that were five or six meters tall.

These corpses are definitely not those of races like the Xi people and the Ye people.

Considering the huge dry bones on the throne, it is possible that they are the descendants of that kind of giant.

It seems that although the Knox Dynasty was once powerful, it did not have the top power.

Otherwise, why would they have to create replicant tears to find their own King of the Night?

If they really possessed powerful top-notch strength, they would not have been destroyed by the attack of Esti and others.

In other words, they once had strong people, but later they disappeared or died for unknown reasons, so they needed tears to become the king of the night.

Combined with the hunting finger knife, could it be that the strong men of their Knox people were taken away by the men of Two Fingers at that time?
But no matter what, the black technology of Knox Dynasty is still quite good.

Brother Fake Teardrop has saved Bai Shi countless times in the game.
-
Since there is no way to walk all the way from the ground of the 'Eternal City' to the light we found earlier, it seems that we still have to jump through the buildings to get there.

Bai Shi aimed at a building opposite and jumped over.

Then he jumped from the door and window at the other end of the building to another building behind it.

Before he jumped out of the distance of several buildings, the back of a pale skull appeared in the window in front of Bai Shi.

The skull was upside down with its back facing him, and with its very eye-catching huge jaws, it was obvious that this was an upside-down Esti.

This Esti seemed to be sleeping and did not notice that there was an outsider visiting the building behind it.

Bai Shi licked his lips. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

Is there still Esti left here?
Bai Shi saw that it didn't notice him, so he quietly approached it.

When he stood behind Esti's head, Bai Shi took out the Star-Breaking Sword from the space disc and chopped at the head hanging upside down in front of him from the left and right.

The Star-Breaking Greatsword struck Esti's gravel spine and instantly sank deeply into it.

That Esti finally woke up from her deep sleep, let out a painful hiss, and struggled violently.

It instinctively used the magic of gravity, trying to use gravity to expel the greatsword embedded in its body.

Bai Shi increased his strength and activated the Star-Calling Greatsword's combat skill, the Star-Smashing Greatsword. Gravity burst out on the sword to counteract Esti's magic.

The gravity magic failed, and Esti was no longer able to resist, and the huge head was cut off from her body.

The head was quickly grabbed by Bai Shi and pulled back into the house, while the huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, causing huge splashes on the calm water surface.

Bai Shi placed the huge head in front of himself and began to decompose it.

The white bone skull was useless, so Bai Shi just smashed it.

I took out the dark blue hard eyeball inside, planning to go back and study it later.

The two mandibles were also taken away by Bai Shi.

The jaws of these Esti carry the power of gravity lightning, and can be used to make powerful weapons such as the Star Beast Half Jaw.

Setting out again, Bai Shi encountered two more Esti larvae and several pools of silver tears hidden in the room on the road. He dealt with them all and collected a wave of materials.

However, it was not so easy to deal with Esti once she was awake, and it would take two or three minutes.

All in all, we successfully reached the bright spot that we had previously considered a landmark.

When they got nearby, Bai Shi realized that it was actually the light on the wall of the underground well.

If Bai Shi remembers correctly, the road to the Dark Realm in the game is near the underground well.

Bai Shi looked towards the magnificent underground well that penetrated the upper and lower rock layers, and finally saw the golden light of blessing and guidance in a huge building embedded in the stone wall.

Bai Shi jumped into the remains of a nearby building and found the Blessing there.

But there was someone who had arrived here before him.

In this building, Bai Shi saw Blaze, who was soaking wet.

　Go out of the blessing point of Noklong in the Eternal City, turn right to the courtyard, and you can see the underground well and the water that flooded the buildings of Noklong. I didn't realize at first that the glowing pillar was the pipe wall of the underground well. I went out for dinner today, and there is only one chapter.
