Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 209: Let me see the Mongwen Dynasty! (6k)

Bai Shi was riding on Celine Shanks's back, holding the wolf eggs he had picked up.

Although the contract was signed, there was actually no special progress in the relationship between the two people. After all, it was still too fast.

In fact, Bai Shi didn't know why Celine Shanks seemed so proactive.

As for Celine Shanks, she naturally has her own ideas.

Signing a contract with Bai Shi is not a pure act of giving away money.

Of course, Celine Shanks was indeed very grateful to Bai Shi for rescuing her. He was truly a lifesaver.

Being trapped in the ice forever, the mind would be erased by time before the body. This is too terrifying.

However, the decision to sign the contract was not because of this favor, or not entirely because of this favor.

In this border area, you can't get by just relying on emotions.

The border is a cruel and realistic place, and Celine Shanks understands it well.

As an ancient dragon who has lived in the border area for countless years, she has enough experience.

It was because of these experiences that she finally recognized Bai Shi.

She was a person who had witnessed the bright and powerful faith of the sun.

That country that believed in the sun once spread its influence to all parts of the border area.

They have a fervent faith in the sun and use prayers that are explored from the sun's light, which are extremely powerful.

Although later due to various reasons, including:

The sun is physically far away from borders, changes of dynasties, wars...

Due to many reasons, the powerful country eventually became distant history.

But such a force is enough to make Celine Shanks remember them.

The sunlight that Bai Shi had used in the basement before was brighter and more terrifying than those of the believers.

The power exerted by Bai Shi was undoubtedly the power of the sun.

Completely different from those prayers that were born out of faith, this was the real power that came directly from the sun.

As for Storm, he has a close relationship with the ancient dragons, so he is closer to them.

Moreover, Bai Shi seemed to have two large runes on his body.

The Great Rune is a fragment of the Elden Ring, a world law separated from the original Elden Ring.

Anyone who wishes to become the King of Elden and rule the borderlands must establish his own laws in the Great Rune.

With the knowledge of two great runes, he is a strong contender for the title of King of Elden no matter in which era.

Simply put, Celine Shanks has no bad intentions, she just wants to curry favor with someone.

Gu Long is the king's iron wall, this statement is not made out of thin air.

She is just an ordinary ancient dragon.

Although it seemed that ordinary ancient dragons were already very powerful at the border, she knew the gap between herself and the truly powerful ones.

Many times, you have to hug someone's thigh to get what you want.

Most of those truly powerful people are not something she can meet, let alone curry favor with them.

As for going back to hang out with the ancient dragons...

To be honest, there is no point in getting along with them. The ancient dragons are used to being alone.

It would be better to find a place to stay and continue to spread the faith of ancient dragons according to your job.

Enjoy the worship of humans every day and eat and drink at the same time.

It's better than starting over in this completely unfamiliar border area.

Celine Shanks only regretted that it was too late to meet Bai Shi now. It would have been even better if she could have met him earlier, before he became rich.

At that time, she could fight alongside him and cultivate their feelings.

Adding icing on the cake is always not as good as helping someone in need.

But now she is very satisfied, at least she has found a strong supporter.
-
Melina stood quietly behind Bai Shi, and was quite calm at the moment.

How to put it, in Melina's opinion, Bai Shi is undoubtedly an extremely outstanding person, impeccable in almost every aspect.

As your power grows, you will have more and more followers.

Among them, there are many people who admire him.

Melina was prepared for this situation.

It was quite normal to have three wives and four concubines in the border area, and she didn't want to monopolize Bai Shi... Of course, it would be best if possible.

But when it really happened just now, I still had some emotional fluctuations.

Especially at the beginning, Bai Shi took the initiative to speak, and actually said... said something that could cause misunderstanding...

I have never said such words to her!
That's why Melina was a little angry at that time.

It should be said that what made her gnashing her teeth was whether Bai Shi took the initiative to express his love to people other than her.

Now that the subsequent misunderstanding has been resolved and Bai Shi has also obtained an ancient dragon, everything is fine.

Unfortunately, Melina doesn't know yet that soon a witch lady will become her biggest competitor.
-
Blaze waited anxiously on the edge of the cliff in the Ancestral Forest.

He paced back and forth on the edge of the cliff, waiting for Bai Shi's return.

A group of wild wolves were running wildly in the field on the edge, roaring and howling while playing, which made Blaze even more anxious.

In his heart, he was constantly thinking about what might happen in the Dark Night Realm.

"I wonder how Master Baishi is doing now. Has he successfully obtained the hunting finger knife?"

"Or did Master Bai Shi also run into some trouble in there?"

"But that's unlikely, Master Baishi is so strong."

'No, that's not right. '

A possibility suddenly occurred to Blaze.

"Could it be that there are many teardrops that can imitate people in the Dark Night Realm?"

If Lord Bai Shi encounters the same kind of teardrops that can imitate humans as before, then it might be really troublesome.

No one knows how many replica tears there are in the Dark Night Realm.

If Lord Bai Shi encounters many replicant tears that can copy his physical fitness and abilities at the same time, it would be equivalent to being besieged by several of himself.

If that really happened, I'm afraid no one would survive.

But Blaze could only wait here, after all, he couldn't fly.

After realizing that no matter how much he thought about it, it would not help, Blaze began to think about his future again.

After Lani successfully obtains the hunting finger knife, he should be completely liberated.

Break away from the identity of a shadow beast and serve Lani as a truly independent individual.

However, there was always a sense of bad crisis lingering in his heart.

Although he made an eternal vow to serve Lani wholeheartedly.

But the identity of Shadow Beast was something that made him feel strange after all.

Does Two Fingers really have no control over the shadow beast given by Him?

As Lani's biggest enemy, Blaze felt the need to be as careful as possible with everything related to the two fingers, including himself.

He was very afraid that the two fingers might leave some tricks on him...

But no matter what, he would never betray Lani.

Absolutely, absolutely not!
Suddenly, a loud sound of breaking air came from the bottom of the cliff.

Blaise looked down the cliff.

I saw a huge monster flying from the direction of the Dark Night Realm, shaking off the purple night fog and soaring upwards.

Before Blaze could see clearly, the huge creature had already flown along the cliff and instantly passed over Blaze's head. Only then did he realize what was happening was a strong gust of wind.

The four strong wings flapped freely, stretching out the body that had been imprisoned for thousands of years, and brought up a hurricane again, and all the grass and trees around Blaze were pressed to the ground.

The heavy rock scales are synonymous with eternity. There is no need for bright colors, because all colors are pale in front of this eternity.

The golden vertical pupils have already stared at Blaze, looking down proudly from high in the sky.

What followed was a suffocating feeling of oppression.

Blaze's heart sank as he looked at the huge figure in front of him that blocked out the night sky.

It turned out to be an ancient dragon?! How could it be!
The ancient dragons are a very powerful race. They can be said to be the pinnacle of creatures in the borderland and the first race to rule the borderland.

Almost every adult ancient dragon is extremely powerful.

Their scales are the hardest rocks on the border, and are difficult to destroy by human power.

Heroes are just the threshold that can stand before them.

Only the top level heroes can fight against ordinary ancient dragons.

Among them, the famous ancient dragons are extremely powerful.

As one of the most famous ancient dragons in the border area, Folshanks was even able to fight one-on-one with the once most powerful prince of the Golden Dynasty, 'Gold' Godwin, and they understood each other and turned enemies into friends.

This is enough to show the terrifying power of the ancient dragons.

Blaze didn't know which ancient dragon this was, but no matter what, if a fight really started, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Blaze silently drew out the royal giant sword behind him and looked warily at the ancient dragon that suddenly appeared above his head.

He felt that he should run now.

However, a familiar voice came from the ancient dragon's back:

"Blaze, I'm back."

Bai Shi waved to Blaze and jumped off Celine Shanks' back.

Bai Shi fell in front of Blaze, and the ancient dragon also fell silently from the sky.

Then the ancient dragon folded its wings and wrapped its body. Not long after, a beautiful woman appeared in front of Blaze.

When Blaze saw that it was Bai Shi who came back, he put away the royal sword.

He looked at the human form of the ancient dragon twice more, and the sense of oppression was reduced a lot in such a look.

This is natural. Celine Sanx, who once spread the faith of ancient dragons everywhere, already has experience in this.

The ancient dragon's form must maintain majesty, while the human form can avoid panic.

Blaze looked at Bai Shi who was holding a giant blue-green egg and asked:
"Master Baishi, how is the progress?"

Bai Shi smiled and nodded at Blaze.

"It went quite smoothly. I have successfully obtained the Hunting Finger Knife."

“Besides that, there were quite a few unexpected gains.”

Bai Shi held up the huge wolf egg with one hand and took out the hunting finger knife with the other hand and handed it to Blaze for him to see.

Blaze didn't care about Bai Shi's other gains.

After all, the most conspicuous ancient dragon and a strange egg were already displayed in front of him.

He was still most concerned about hunting the finger knife.

Seeing that Bai Shi had already obtained the hunting finger knife, Blaze breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really great."

"So, Master Baishi, what are you going to do next?"

Bai Shi thought about it for a moment.

Now that he could fly on Celine Sanx, he wanted to take a look at the Mongwen Dynasty.

Celine Shanks was not willing to let another creature ride on her back, and certainly not with Blaze.

Even if he came back from the follow-up trip, Blaze wouldn't be able to follow him.

It's not like they were flying in the sky, watching Blaze running on the ground...

In this case, why not let Blaze go back first? Bai Shi can teleport to Lani anyway, which is very convenient.

"There are some places I care about later that I need to explore."

"Blazer, you should go back first."

"Leave the Hunting Finger Knife with me first. I'll give it to Lani after a while." "I can use the blessing to teleport, so it's definitely faster than you running back, and it's safer to leave it with me."

Blaze nodded.

Lord Baishi has made a vow with Lani under the moon.

He is undoubtedly one of us, there is no need to worry.

Blaze said goodbye to the two and left on his own.
-
Bai Shi brought Celine Shanks to the edge of the huge broken bridge.

There, there was a white spirit kneeling in the direction of the Mongwen Dynasty.

He kept repeating his own words:
"...Oh, the great blood king."

"Please be merciful and allow me to take the throne at the end of the dynasty."

"May the Mongwen dynasty last forever."

"May the Mongwen dynasty live forever!"

Bai Shi ignored the ghost and pointed to the distant Mongwen Dynasty.

"Celin Shanks, can you fly over there without alerting the creatures over there?"

"I have some concerns about that building."

Celine Sanks put her hand over her mouth and smiled softly.

"Master, you actually asked such a question. You are underestimating us ancient dragons."

"Of course that's no problem."

However, Celine Shanks was not in a hurry to transform back into dragon form.

There were still some things she cared about and wanted to ask Bai Shi about them.

"Master, what is this... over here?"

Celine Sanks pointed to the ghost beside her.

Bai Shi feels a little strange.

“This is the soul.”

"After death, there is no way for a soul to return to the Golden Tree. Because of unknown special reasons or obsessions, it stays at the border."

"They have lost their minds and wills, and are unable to maintain their appearance, constantly wearing away their souls."

"I'm afraid it will take a long time for it to disappear on its own."

Bai Shi thought about it and explained the Return to Tree System to Celine Shanks.

The Return to the Tree System only came into being after the Golden Tree became the law, so she definitely didn't know about it.

"You probably don't know what the Return to the Golden Tree is. Let me explain it to you briefly."

“The Golden Rule is the law stripped of the destiny of death.”

"From then on, the soul and body of a dead creature will return to the golden tree, waiting to be born again."

“But a series of things happened in later generations.”

Bai Shi paused, thinking about how to summarize Godwin's affairs in the most concise words.

"On a cold night, the prince of the Golden Dynasty was murdered in the royal city of Rodel. The murderers used a black knife that carried a destined death."

"His soul was completely killed, but his body survived."

"Perhaps the Golden Tree thought he could still be saved. In any case, his body was healed and turned into a soulless corpse of a strange shape."

“The Golden Tree has continued this process and has not stopped until now.”

"Because of him, the Golden Tree's return to the tree process has been completely occupied, and other creatures cannot reincarnate through the return to the tree."

"Souls that cannot return to the tree can only fend for themselves at the border."

"Some souls are lucky enough to find a place to stay and become lily of the valley or ashes."

"As for the other souls, they can only slowly wait to be erased."

After listening to Bai Shi's brief description, Celine Shanks looked at the ghost carefully.

"So that's what it looks like..."

“Although I still don’t know what the Guishu tree is, it’s still a little hard for me to get used to it.”

"The time gap between me and this era is indeed too long."

Bai Shi was a little curious.

"Why? In your time, there were no souls like this staying at the border?"

Celine Shanks shook her head.

"In the most ancient times, when the borderland was ruled by us ancient dragons, there was almost no other life."

"The ancient dragons were nearly eternal beings. At that time, we didn't even have the concept of death."

"Later, various kinds of life appeared on the border, and they also brought the concept of death."

"Although I don't know how the process of returning to the tree you mentioned is accomplished."

"In the past, the dead at the border needed a messenger to take them away."

"At that time, the birds of death will take away the souls and bones of the dead."

"The priests of death come with the bird of death, blessing the deceased for his death and praying for his rebirth."

"When the body is thrown into the spiritual furnace and burned, the soul will be completely liberated and sent to the spiritual world."

"Logically speaking, the spirit world is where people's souls should go after death."

The spirit world… ?
Bai Shi silently pondered this somewhat uncommon noun.

There must have been a spiritual world at the border.

Bai Shi remembered that in the game, there was a greatsword whose shape he liked very much - the Hefen Spire Sword.

The text of that sword contains the following passage:

"In the spirit world, there is a tree that glows faintly and serves as a signpost for the dead.

'A great sword made in the image of the Black Spire of Hulfen.'

"It is said that the light is similar in nature to the Blessing, and only the Heroic Spirits can see it."

Speaking of which, now the Bird of Death and the gods behind death seem to be returning to the border area.

I don’t know if they are the ones who have returned from the spirit world.

Bai Shi looked at Celine Shanks.

It must be said that although Celine Shanks has been frozen until now, it is somewhat disconnected from the current border.

But we can really learn a lot about some things in ancient times through her.

And Celine Shanks seemed willing to tell him that.

Come to think of it, the ancient king should also know a lot about such things.

It's just that after Bai Shi got his feet on the ground, he never went to it to find out about these things.

When I have time later, I will go and ask it.

Moreover, the time period in which the ancient king lived was just after Celine Shanks, so the time was a little different, so perhaps we could piece together a fairly complete history of the border area.

Bai Shi asked Celine Shanks:

"Celin Shanks, do you know anything else about the spirit world?"

Celine Shanks supported her head, thought for a while, and shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but I don't really know what the spirit world is like."

Bai Shi nodded.

"Is that so? Then I'll look for relevant information from other places later."

"Let's go ahead and go to that building in the distance."

Celine Sanx nodded to Bai Shi, and then transformed into the ancient dragon again.

Bai Shi once again rode on Celine Shanks' back.

'Blood Dynasty, I trample Malena!'

'Let me see!'

Celine Shanks was very fast, and she could quickly cross such a huge distance.

The buildings of the Mongwen Dynasty gradually became clearer, and Bai Shi could already see each of them.

But when they were about to arrive near the Mongwen Dynasty, Bai Shi took the initiative to stop Celine Shanks.

"Stop!"

Celine Shanks didn't know what Bai Shi meant, but she still stopped flying immediately.

She flapped her wings violently and came to an emergency stop.

Bai Shi looked ahead.

Not far in front of him and Celine Shanks, there was a wall made of blurry shadows.

The true form of that blurry shadow was countless wriggling tentacles of flesh and blood.

However, these tentacles were almost completely transparent, and Bai Shi almost failed to notice them.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Celine Sanx hovered in the air and turned to look at Bai Shi.

Bai Shi frowned slightly.

"There's something ahead, can't you see it?"

Celine Shanks was startled when she heard this, and turned her head to observe carefully.

But she saw nothing. There was only the hill and the buildings on it in front of her.

"No...I really didn't see anything."

Bai Shi frowned slightly.

This is definitely the method of the Invisible Mother.

It seems that only if the sensing point is high enough can one see the methods of these gods.

"It's okay, let's stop here anyway."

"Ah."

In times of pain and despair, the Invisible Mother responds to the calls of believers.

Only then will the Invisible Mother take form in their eyes, revealing Her true appearance as a bloody star.

Bai Shi has never experienced despair and is living a happy life now, so naturally he cannot see the appearance of the Invisible Mother.

In the eyes of believers, this is probably a blood-colored eye-catching wall.

Bai Shi can see this special wall entirely because of his extremely high sensing points.

Such a high level of sensitivity is enough to clearly see the tricks of the gods.

Bai Shi carefully observed this invisible wall of flesh and blood for a while, and it seemed that there was no gap at all.

Although I don’t know what the exact function of this wall is, it is obvious that I will be discovered if I touch it.

Perhaps this is the special defensive wall that the Invisible Mother helped Mung to set up.

It was really thoughtful of them to set up such an air defense measure for Monger.

It must be said that the Invisible Mother treated Monger quite well indeed.

But it was much better than how Marika treated Monget and Monger.

Bai Shi thought for a moment and realized that it seemed impossible to explore the Mongwen Dynasty today.

"It seems that we can't get there today."

"Come on, Celine Shanks, let's go back."

Although Celine Sanx was a little confused, she still obeyed her master's orders and flew back in the original direction.

Today, Bai Shi's first attempt on the Mongwen Dynasty failed.

But at this distance, Bai Shi also observed some of the layout of the Mongwen Dynasty, so it was not a complete failure.
