Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 213 The Lost Earth (6k)

After realizing that the border had changed drastically, Celine Sanks continued to fly upwards in silence.

It was not until a long time later that she stopped in the clouds.

Now in Celine Shanks's field of vision, she could almost overlook most of the border area.

From here, you can already see the scene across Lake Lienya.

The Yatan Plateau opposite the inland sea is blurry, but some outlines can be vaguely seen.

But the steep cliff does not look like it was formed naturally, but rather like it was dug out by someone.

Celine Shanks looked at the drastic changes in the border area and remained speechless for a long time.

What was this for her?

Is this still the border area?
Bai Shi also realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Celin Shanks? What's wrong?"

"What did you see?"

Celine Shanks stared blankly at the vast inland sea below.

"Didn't I see something..."

"I can't see anything."

She stretched out her front paws, pointed to the sea inside the border area, and drew a circle around the inland sea.

"That place should be a whole continent."

"Although there are inland sea areas, they cannot be so large."

"The vast majority of the sea that exists today was originally land!"

"But now, it's all gone..."

Celine Sanx looked down at Gaileed.

"That used to be the Spiked Mountain, where the dragons lived."

Then she looked toward the north of Nimgefu.

"That must have been the Blue Coast."

Then she looked towards the center of the inner sea of the border area, which was also the center of all the divine towers.

It was originally the center of the border area, and there should have been a pacifying stone pillar there.

Celine Sanx still remembers the words written on the stone tablet:
"The center of the border—"

"The place where all death comes together."

"Where all death is appeased."

But now, that too has disappeared.

The center of the entire border area seemed to have been cut off by someone.

Bai Shi frowned deeply.

What's going on?

The center of the border was originally the continent? He had never known such a thing before.

As for the places that Celine Shanks mentioned just now, Bai Shi had never heard of them before, and there was no information about them in the game at all.

And why would such a large area disappear?

Even if it's about crustal movement, continental drift is too ridiculous.

But, if that is not the case, then this area was directly dug out from the middle?

If you think about it this way, it seems even more terrifying.

Bai Shi didn't think there was any force on the border that could do this.

When did this continent disappear?

In the era in which Celine Sanx lived, quite ancient Knox civilization still existed.

However, Bai Shi is now living in a much later era.

At this time, it has been so long ago that no one would take the initiative to mention what happened in the inland sea.

This must have happened sometime in the middle.

It's another period of history, which is really a headache.

It seems that after returning to Stonewell, I must ask my men if they know anything.

Although his subordinates were not very good, but in terms of age, except for Lancelet and Hakan who were of the same generation as him, the others were really older than the last.

Elsa probably didn't know much.

Although she lived for a long time, she used to stay in the snowy mountains and was sealed up again after defeating the giant.

Compared to the others, I know much less.

Gu Wang and Slude might know something.

However, if you want to know the most complete situation, you should ask the Crucible Knights.

They are active for the longest period and are always in contact with the outside world, almost never losing contact.

Bai Shi shook his head.

What kind of power is needed to remove such a huge piece of land on the border?

Although I am surprised now, I can't find any conclusion.

Bai Shi thought about it and decided to ask Celine Shanks to go to Selia Town first.

"Celin Shanks, descend first."

"The history of the border area is too severe. Let's wait until later to explore what happened."

Celine Shanks obeyed and dived all the way back to Gallid's low altitude.

Bai Shi quickly found the huge checkpoint of Selia Town from the air.

After he pointed out the direction to Selina Shanks, Selina Shanks immediately flew to the town of Selia at a rapid speed.

Riding on Celine Shanks's body, Bai Shi couldn't help but sigh at the innate advantages of the ancient dragon.

It has to be said that the ancient dragon race is really too powerful.

I won’t mention the combat aspects, now that I’ve experienced it myself, the flying speed is a bit outrageous.

Before, when she was underground, Celine Sanx was still a little restrained, but now she is flying in the air at full speed.

In the air, Bai Shi and Celine Shanks also saw some flying dragons active here.

When these flying dragons saw the ancient dragon body of Selina Shanks, they were immediately frightened and fled in panic, running away far away.

After all, the beatings that the elders had received over the years had already warned them not to continue to be enemies with the ancient dragons.

From afar in the sky, Celine Sanx saw the huge body crawling in the dragon tomb.

The pale flying dragon was nesting on a plain in the Dragon Tomb, and its huge body was like a real mountain.

"'Grandmother Dragon' Guior, after all these years, it seems that she hasn't changed much."

Bai Shi suddenly thought of a question.

"By the way, didn't you say that Beile and Gui'or were a couple?"

"Logically speaking, shouldn't Guiol also be an important target for cleanup?"

"But it seems like nothing has happened to her in all these years."

Celine Shanks nodded.

"That's right, but it seems quite complicated."

"Because actually Guiol did not openly participate in supporting Beile at that time."

"She brought a group of descendants with her and always maintained a neutral attitude."

“Although I don’t know if it’s a strategy to preserve life, or if I really don’t have any idea.”

"In short, her relationship with the ancient dragons didn't become extremely bad after the incident."

"Guiaoer also knew about the Dragon Feast Ceremony and accepted it."

"After that, Guior was still allowed to continue to operate in the border area as the leader of the flying dragons."

Celine Shanks thought about it and told Bai Shi another reason for keeping Guior.

"Although the social habits of the flying dragon race are somewhat similar to those of the ancient dragons, they basically live their own lives and are scattered throughout the border areas."

"But no matter what, with Guior as the elder who manages the race, at least it will be much easier to communicate."

"If you, Master, have anything you want to ask the flying dragon race, then you can go to Guior."

"But if you want to see her, you'd better take me with you."

"With Gu Long by my side, there will be no problem at all for the meeting. There won't be any conflict before the meeting."

Bai Shi hadn't figured out how to treat Feilong yet, so he didn't continue the topic.

In the short time of communication, Celine Sanx crossed part of the Dragon Tomb and the northeast corner of Gaileed.

They have arrived above the town of Selia.

However, there was no sign of human habitation in the town of Selia at the moment, and not a single person was to be seen.

Bai Shi had no idea what was going on, so he had to let Celine Shanks land to see what was going on.

Could it be that something major happened during this period of time?

But just as she got close, several spells attacked Celine Shanks.

Bai Shi used a storm to block the magic outside, allowing Celine Shanks to prepare to land.

Some of the magic penetrated the storm and continued to hit Celine Shanks in a twisted manner.

Celine Shanks was not panicked at all, and did not even take a defensive stance.

The magic shattered as it hit her hard rock scales, leaving almost no damage.

The ancient dragon's rock scales are enough to withstand attacks from weak creatures on the border.

If the power is not strong enough, it won't even be able to cause any injuries.

You are not qualified, you are not qualified.

Bai Shi estimated that the people of Selia town below mistakenly thought that Celine Shanks was coming to invade, so they launched such an attack.

Bai Shi shouted down to stop.

The magicians heard Bai Shi's voice and soon found Bai Shi's figure on Celine Shanks's back.

They also quickly stopped the various magic they were performing.

Bai Shi jumped off Celine Shanks' back.

The night girl Stella ran out of the town of Selia.

She held the staff which was a little too big for her and quickly ran to Bai Shi to admit her mistake.

"Master Bai Shi, I'm sorry, we didn't realize it was you before..."

Bai Shi waved his hand.

They mistakenly thought that the ancient dragon was planning to invade the town of Selia, which was also an unexpected situation.

After all, Bai Shi had only told them to wait for him to come back and take away all of them, the magicians and their hidden mounts, but he did not say how he would come back.

Who would have thought that Bai Shi would come back riding an ancient dragon this time.

Anyway, Celine Shanks wasn't hurt at all.

"So what happened just now?"

"When I first looked from the sky, there was no one in Selia Town."

Stella spoke somewhat awkwardly:

"We spotted the ancient dragon from a long distance away."

"After all, it was an ancient dragon, so we all hid."

"When you came over just now, we thought Gu Long was just passing by..."

"But later we found that the ancient dragon had been staying in the sky and was even descending towards the town."

"We thought they were trying to destroy the town of Selia, so we fought back."

Bai Shi nodded. "It's okay. I understand."

"How is the situation in Selia Town recently?"

"If there is nothing left to do, then we will be ready to go."

Stella nodded.

"Everyone in Selia Town is ready and can set off at any time."

However, Stella frowned again and told Bai Shi about the recent abnormalities around Selia:

"For some unknown reason, the various creatures on Galid that have been affected by the scarlet corruption have become abnormally violent recently."

"Although there were corrupted creatures that came to harass Selia Town in the past, they have become more frequent recently."

"Especially the various creatures that crawl out of the Ionian swamps."

"Because the town of Selia is right next to Lake Ionia, these creatures have caused a lot of trouble recently."

"In addition to those corrupt creatures, the corrupt followers who previously occupied the Selia Crystal Tunnel have recently started to cause trouble for us again."

"Relying on the defense power of Selia Town, we successfully blocked them, but I'm afraid they will attack again."

White consciousness thinks a little.

I almost forgot before that the Selia Crystal Tunnel has not been recovered yet.

The town of Selia is Bai Shi's territory, and the crystal tunnel must be taken back.

Forging stones can be produced in the Selia Crystal Tunnel, and the quality seems to be quite good.

As an important strategic resource, Bai Shi would never let go of the forging stone here.

It just so happens that the Dragonblood Knights can also use the corrupt followers to practice and get used to the new mounts.

Bai Shi made a decision and looked at Stella:
"Okay, then let's wait until we have recovered all the territory here before we prepare to leave."

"Let's first wake up those creatures left behind by the Knox Dynasty. My army is already near Galid."

Stella nodded in agreement, then whistled.

After the whistle sounded, a large number of silver lizards quickly emerged from the windows of the houses in Seria.

These big silver lizards gathered in front of Bai Shi.

These artificial creatures created by the Knox Dynasty are by-products of the creation of dragon soldiers.

They also have heads shaped like ancient dragons, and their limbs and tails are very slender.

But there was only a pair of skeletal wings on its back without any flesh and blood, and there were no scales on its body, only smooth silver skin.

Rather than looking like a dragon, it looks more like a lizard.

Ever since seeing the crystal lizards in the cold storage of Noklongen, Bai Shi felt more and more that this group of big lizards were imitating the shapes of those crystal lizards.

It is somewhat similar to the various strange-shaped dragon beasts in the DND world view.

Bai Shi decided to call them dragon beasts from now on.

Stella explained to Bai Shi:
"Because there were previous invasions by corrupt followers and corrupt creatures. They are not very strong, but there are many of them."

"So we awakened a large number of these artificial creatures for defense."

These dragon beasts are very large, smaller than the crystal lizards seen before.

Now at the border, there are not many beasts larger than them.

This body size also gives them an advantage in strength, making them relatively powerful among wild beasts.

The most widespread and strongest beast in the border area is basically the Rune Bear.

As for these dragon beasts, they can probably be considered on the same level as giant dogs and giant crows.

It is good for defending against corrupt followers and corrupt creatures.

Bai Shi is very satisfied with these artificial creatures.

Although its endurance is slightly lower, its short-term burst of speed is unmatched by ordinary war horses.

What Bai Shi valued the most was their strong climbing ability, which allowed them to climb on rocks.

This can effectively improve vertical mobility, which is a huge improvement from scratch.

Celine Shanks had already transformed into a human form and was standing aside, watching these creatures, and couldn't help but click her tongue.

She had clearly helped out in the Knox Dynasty in the beginning, but why were the finished products they produced so hard to describe?

Especially when other aspects are not so good, the faucet is somewhat similar.

The more Celine Shanks looked at them, the weirder they seemed.

Bai Shi looked at Stella and asked:

"How many dragon beasts are there here?"

Dragon beast?

Stella then realized that these were the names Bai Shi had given to these creatures.

In fact, Stella felt that it would be more accurate to call it a dragon lizard rather than a dragon beast.

But since Bai Shi had spoken, she had nothing to say. It was just a name after all.

Stella thought about it.

"I think we have awakened more than 800 of them in total."

"After the battle a while ago, there are probably about 600 left."

"There are still about one or two hundred of them sleeping underground in Selia Town."

"If necessary, we can make another batch."

Bai Shi nodded, those that had been awakened were enough.

"Okay, that's all for now."

"Tell them to follow us and get ready to go and fetch my soldiers."

Bai Shi was the first to ride on a dragon beast, then looked at Celine Shanks.

"Celin Shanks, what about you?"

"Do you want to ride one, or fly over there yourself?"

Celine Sanx was not very interested in these strange-looking dragon beasts, so she shook her head.

"No, that's not necessary. I'll just fly in the sky. I can also help you lead the way."

That's right, after all, the view from flying in the sky is much better than theirs.

It would be more convenient to have Celine Shanks in the sky lead the way.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

After Stella instructed the other magicians in Selia Town to prepare to resist the corrupted creatures, she also boarded a dragon beast.

After Celineshanks took off, Stella blew the whistle again, urging the dragon beasts to move forward collectively.

Celineshanks was flying in the air at a very slow speed, waiting for the dragon beasts below to move.

The ancient dragon's speed was so fast that the speed of the small creatures below was simply unbearable to watch.

Bai Shi was walking side by side with Stella.

Bai Shi asked Stella:
"Speaking of which, how do we control these creatures?"

Stella was thinking about how to explain it simply to Bai Shi.

"This creature cannot understand human language and does not possess intelligence."

"Rather than being creatures, they are more like tools."

"If you want to command them, you need to rely on some special instructions."

“These instructions can be given by voice.”

"By combining different lengths, different command orders can be issued."

Stella paused and looked at Bai Shi.

Bai Shi understood it roughly. It was almost like Morse code, a combination of long and short sounds to form instructions.

So Bai Shi nodded and motioned Stella to continue.

Stella continued:

"For example, when I commanded all the dragon beasts to come out together just now, I used a two-part command."

"The first part is choosing the scope of the command."

"You can select all of them, or a certain group, or just a few."

"What we just did was to select all the targets."

"And the second paragraph is the specific instructions."

"It can be specific to some uncomplicated actions, including the direction of running and climbing, attacking and so on."

Bai Shi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that it would be quite convenient to command these dragon beasts.

That's right, after all, this is an artificial creature created for a certain purpose.

Using instructions to give commands is undoubtedly the simplest, quickest and least error-prone method.

This also greatly reduces the running-in time between these mounts and their users.

Just write down the instructions and there will basically be no mistakes.

Stella looked at Bai Shi.

"I'll teach you all the instructions later."

Bai Shi hurriedly shook his head.

He can ride Torret on land and Celineshanks in the air, so there is no need to ride Draco.

"When the time comes, you can go and teach my legion commander directly."

Stella nodded.

"Okay, then after I meet your legion commander, I will give him all the control instructions."

"Then you can arrange for the other soldiers to learn how to command the dragon beasts under them."

After that, they rode the dragon beast all the way over mountains and across rivers.

From time to time, fierce red dragon thunder would fall in front of them.

This is because Celine Shanks saw the corrupt creatures blocking their way in the air and helped clear them away in advance.

In this way, Bai Shi and Stella led a huge group of dragon beasts all the way back from the town of Seria to the exit well of the Shivla River.

The distance between them is quite far.

The ride there on the Celine Shanks was pretty fast, but the return trip took almost half a day.

But it will be fine as long as we can bring these dragon beasts here smoothly.

Next, Bai Shi started the elevator and took the first batch of hundreds of dragon beasts onto the elevator.

Not long after, all the dragon beasts on the ground were brought to this underground world.

Stella looked up at the brilliant night sky, which she had never seen before but which her elders had passed down through words, and was lost in thought for a long time.

Is this where they originated?
The night sky is so beautiful.

Even though the night sky is fake, it is enough to soothe the soul, as this is their already distant hometown.

Stella quickly came to her senses and drove the dragon beasts to follow Celine Sanx's guidance and move towards the base of the Dragon Blood Knights.

This section of the journey was quite short and didn't take long.

Following Stella's instructions, these dragon beasts stopped outside the camp in a fairly orderly manner.

Such a big commotion also attracted the attention of the Dragon Blood Knights.

Many Dragon Blood Knights have come out to watch.

They had also heard before that a batch of mounts would arrive in their legion soon.

These may be their mounts.

But I didn't expect that these mounts looked so strange, they didn't look like creatures on the border at all.
