Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 246 'Silver Tears' Ashimi
Bai Shi stayed with the ancient king for a long time and asked him all kinds of questions.

In the end, Bai Shi got a lot of information about that place from the ancient king.

For example, the ancient forging ruins that Bai Shi was very interested in.

Forging was once a technology of the giants and also a ritual of worshiping gods. It was eventually passed down by the giants' descendants, the mountain goblins.

During the Giant Wars, the trolls helped forge many weapons, including a type of golem.

For example, the golems holding longbows or giant halberds that are now scattered all over the border area came from there.

Including little demons and guard dogs, they are also their creations.

In addition, there is the hometown of flying dragons - Spike Mountain, and the mysterious fingerprint pit - Finger Ruins...

After listening to Gu Wang's story, Bai Shi was amazed and felt that he had played 200 yuan less worth of game content.
-
Bai Shi had already left his throne at this time.

After listening to so many explosive news from King Gu, he now needs some time to absorb it.

So Bai Shi decided to go find Schiff and play with him for a while.

When Bai Shi led the Dragonblood Knights to Gallid, he did not bring Sif with him.

Bai Shi directly asked the logistics personnel to bring the Dragon Blood Knights' belongings back to Stonewell, and also brought Siff back with them.

And Celine Shanks had already flown back from Gaileed in advance, and she was basically the one taking care of Shiv.

Now Celine Sanx lives with Shiv in a building near the square in front of the throne.

However, when Bai Shi walked into the room, what he saw made him stunned.

I saw Celine Shanks sitting on a chair nearby, cutting meat from the leg of some wild animal for Schiff to feed it.

And Shiv, who had grown several sizes, pressed a 'toy' under his body and rolled it with his paws.

From time to time, Schiff would run to the side, lie down and pounce on it again.

The 'toy' that was being teased was a round silver teardrop.

But no matter how Schiff tossed it, the silver teardrop didn't react at all.

Bai Shi looked at Celine Shanks and asked:

"Um……?"

"Where did this thing come from?"

Celine Shanks tapped her chin with her finger, thought for a moment, and said:

"Shiv picked this up himself."

Bai Shi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"You found it?"

Celine Sanx nodded and continued:

"Yes, I found it."

“I also found it incredible when I heard it.”

"I heard from the logistics personnel who brought Schiff back that Schiff suddenly rushed out when he passed through the fog forest."

“When those people caught up and found Schiff, they discovered that it had already picked up the silver teardrop.”

"But this teardrop doesn't seem to have any vitality. It hasn't moved since Schiff brought it back."

"I thought it might be a defective product or it was no longer in good condition, so I just left it alone and let Schiff play with it."

Bai Shi pondered silently.

Silver tears found in the mist forest...

That place is quite close to the crater leading to Noxlong.

Could it be the imitation teardrop that ran away?
Bai Shi felt more and more that it was possible.

So he walked forward, pulled Shiv aside, and squatted in front of the Silver Teardrop.

Bai Shi poked the lifeless silver teardrop on the ground twice, but it still did not respond.

Bai Shi touched his chin, thinking about its current state and how to wake it up.

After thinking for a while, Bai Shi took out the silver holy grail that he had obtained in the secret room of Noklon from the space disc.

As the holy grail was taken out, the rich, mysterious liquid in it immediately spread a mysterious aura in the surroundings.

Bai Shi only realized now that after leaving the underground filled with the "mysterious" atmosphere, the "mystery" in the holy grail was actually so rich.

When the 'mystery' filled the whole room, the pool of silver tears on the ground began to tremble slightly, and Schiff, who was already very active, became even more energetic, and was just about to tear down the house.

Bai Shi took the silver holy grail in his hand and waved it in front of Silver Teardrop.

In just a few seconds, the silver teardrop began to move, as if it had come alive, surging forward towards the silver holy grail.

Celine Sanks stood up, walked to Bai Shi and squatted down together.

Looking at the sudden surge of silver tears, Celine Shanks was a little surprised.

"It actually reacted. It seems to have woken up."

Bai Shi pulled the Holy Grail back, leaving the tears in vain.

"You awake? What are you?"

The silver teardrop seemed to have just noticed that there was someone in front of it, and began to move slowly.

It lay on the ground and said to Bai Shi:

"Woo, I'm so thirsty..."

"I want the Holy Grail so badly...can you give it to me?"

Bai Shi shook the silver holy grail in his hand.

"If you want, you have to answer my question first."

"what do you?"

Although the Silver Teardrop has no limbs or facial features, Bai Shi can feel that it has been "staring" at the silver holy grail in its hand.

"My name is Ashmi, which means Silver Teardrop."

"I can transform into various creatures and imitate their every move."

"But unlike my other companions, I gained wisdom the moment I was born. I have my own consciousness, can speak, think... and have desires."

"So, could you please give me the Holy Grail? I would be very grateful..."

Bai Shi silently took the silver holy grail back and moved away from Ashimi who was climbing on him without any sense of boundaries.

Good news, this is indeed 'Fake Teardrop' Ashimi.

A teardrop that was deleted from the game and has its own awareness.

Teardrops with self-awareness are much more powerful in combat than other replicant teardrops.

"You want it? What can you bring me?"

Ashimi thought about it, trying to understand Bai Shi's words.

Oh, now that I think about it, it seems like I have heard of it before when I was in the Eternal City.

It seems that if you want something outside, you need to exchange it for something of equal value.

But she was just a silver teardrop, so what could she have that could be used for exchange?
Bai Shi looked at Ashimi who was completely stuck in the ground and asked:
"what happened?"

Ashimi slowly drew back.

"Ashimi, there is nothing to exchange..."

"The Holy Grail...cannot be obtained..."

Bai Shi was a little confused, but he would not miss the opportunity to capture Ashimi.

"It's okay. If you don't have anything to exchange, you can do something for me."

“As long as you create value for me, I can use that value in exchange.”

Ashmi suddenly realized that this was actually possible and it was the right decision to come outside.

After thinking for a while, Ashimi said to Bai Shi:
"Well, then may I ask...can you allow me to parasitize in your body?" "If I parasitize in your body, I can help you fight."

"In this case, the Holy Grail will also transform into your power in disguise. How do you feel about that?"

For Ashimi, this was equivalent to a contract to sell her body.

The attraction of the Silver Holy Grail is so tempting, no, it's so tear-inducing.

However, Ashmi did not understand the meaning of freedom, so he sold himself very easily.

Bai Shi nodded and it was done.

"Okay, I agree."

Ashimi came close to Baishi again and said:

"I am different from my other companions. It takes a special process to transform into another person's appearance."

"Then please come closer to me and suck me into your body with your mouth, and then I will become one with you."

After saying that, Ashimi separated his body, revealing the true core within him.

Unlike other teardrop cores, Ashmi's core is a very strange thing.

This core is light green in color and looks like gas, somewhere between illusion and reality.

Ashmi explained:

"I've heard it from people who have taken care of me."

"My core is a very rare illusory life that was generated from a spirit tomb."

"So I can only become that way by combining with others, and I have never really changed until now."

Celine Shanks on the side widened her eyes and looked at Bai Shi.

"No, Master?"

"Do you really want to absorb this unknown substance into your body?"

"And it's parasitism, parasitism! It said so itself!"

Bai Shi is actually a little hesitant now.

After all, games are games and reality is reality.

To be honest, it is a bit strange to let Bai Zhi absorb this stuff into the body in the real world.

I don’t know what that would feel like.

But after thinking about it, Bai Shi made a decision.

"fine."

"Anyway, if there is an accident, I can just use the power of the sun to dry it out from inside my body."

The White Consciousness approaches Ashmi's core and sucks it into its mouth.

"Wow, host, your body is so warm."

After entering the mouth, the ethereal core began to spread within Bai Shi's body and soon covered his entire body.

Ashimi is also able to communicate directly with the White Consciousness in a spirit-like state.

'Host, it has been successful.'

'Now I can switch between the physical and the virtual.'

"When you need me, just call me out."

"Please take good care of me from now on, my host."

Bai Shi looked at his body and felt it, but found nothing unusual.

"Ashimi, come out and take a look."

Ashimi agreed, and then condensed a physical entity in the open space next to Bai Shi.

During this process, Bai Shi could feel that the Ashimi in his body was constantly decreasing, but in the end, there was a core left in his body.

A 'person' whose clothes and appearance were exactly the same as Bai Shi's soon appeared nearby.

Ashimi's concentration consumed some of Baishi's vitality, magic power, and physical strength.

But it's just the extent that you can recover quickly.

Ashimi looked at his imitating body and was very shocked.

"Wow, host, I can't even imitate your power completely."

Bai Shi nodded. It was not surprising that his current values were very high.

However, if Ashimi can be strengthened with the Silver Holy Grail, he should be able to unleash his full strength soon.

Celine Sanx had seen Ashmi turn into a white consciousness, and she was not surprised. She had seen many replicant tears in the "Eternal City" in the past.

But Schiff was startled when he saw the second white consciousness suddenly appear.

Schiff ran back and forth between the two white consciousnesses, staring back and forth for a long time, but still didn't understand what was going on.

Bai Shi looked at Ashimi, who looked exactly like him, and suddenly felt a little strange.

After all, a creature exactly like himself suddenly appeared in front of him.

So Bai Shi asked Ashimi:
"Can you change the way you are now?"

Ashmi shook his head, somewhat confused.

"Host, what's wrong? Am I not imitating well?"

Bai Shi shook his head slightly.

"No... it's because the imitation is too similar..."

Ashmi was very surprised.

"But I can't imitate others. And if I become someone else, I won't have your power."

Ashimi began to think with her best efforts about how to satisfy the host's request.

It seems that the host wants to change only the appearance, not the power...

I see. Then let’s change into a female appearance. As it happens, she also thinks she is a female.

So Bai Shi watched as his appearance suddenly changed.

His hair began to grow longer, his Adam's apple and face changed slightly, and the chest of his magician's robe slowly grew larger.

After a while, a woman who looked 70% similar to Bai Shi appeared in front of him.

Ashmi now has beautiful long black hair falling down and a handsome face.

"How is it? Master, what do you think now?"

Ashimi turned around, and even her voice changed completely to a female one.

Now Shiv could distinguish Bai Shi and Ashimi. He looked at Ashimi for a long time and memorized his appearance.

But Celine Shanks suddenly couldn't hold it back anymore and looked like she wanted to laugh.

She looked at Ashimi twice again and finally laughed.

It must be said that Ashimi does retain many of Baishi's physical features.

If you look at her alone, she is just a beautiful woman.

But when they stand next to Bai Shi, they look very similar, which even brothers and sisters may not be so similar.

Bai Shi looked at the feminine version of himself in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Well, it seems like I asked for it...

Although it's a bit difficult to hold, it looks good now, so let's just leave it like this.

It's better than being exactly like yourself.

　Miss!
