Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 251 Cuckoo
Since the doll of the kidnapped girl has been destroyed and the teleportation array cannot be used, just ignore it.

Bai Shi returned to the outskirts of the Magic Academy and found the wandering ethnic merchant and hound knight.

Bai Shi told them that he had recaptured the magic academy.

All they have to do now is wait for the elevator to be rebuilt, and then they can all go back.

After informing the Hound Knight that Reinara was safe, he also calmed down.

As for the merchant from the nomadic tribe, he has decided to leave the magic academy.

He had been locked up here for too long and no longer planned to stay here.

However, he still planned to wait until the elevator was completed and take a look at the inside of the magic academy before leaving.

After all, I've been here for so many years, it would be a shame not to take a look.

Bai Shi was about to leave after informing them, but was stopped by a merchant from the wandering tribe.

The merchant from the nomadic tribe gave Bai Shi something.

It was a rolled-up letter with a feather of an unknown bird tucked inside.

This type of letter is information sold by wandering merchants and can often be seen at border crossings.

They would add colorful feathers to the documents as a mark.

However, unlike the colorful feathers that marked intelligence, this letter was marked with special black feathers.

This feather is unique, significantly different from ordinary bird feathers, and has a unique color.

According to the wandering trader, this is the feather of an extinct bird called the 'burial crow'.

The wandering merchant said to Bai Shi:
"This is an invitation letter my people sent me a long time ago, inviting me to go to the royal city of Rodel to join the caravan."

"The letter said that the Golden Dynasty is very rich. Although they look down on us, a wandering people who are not blessed, it is a good place to make money."

"So the leader of the caravan invited tribesmen from all over to the royal city of Rodel, hoping that we would bring the goods and join the caravan."

"You know, we, the wandering people, don't mind this slight at all."

"As long as they can earn runes, they can be as arrogant as they want."

"I wanted to go at the time, but as you know, I was trapped in the magic academy."

"Now I have changed my mind and don't want to go there anymore. I plan to wander around the border area."

"If you want to go, or if anyone wants to go, take this."

"It's an invitation after all. There should be someone to pick it up."

Bai Shi looked at the letter in his hand, hesitating whether to tell him that the border had changed.

This wandering ethnic merchant's knowledge of the outside world was still at the time when the academy was blocked. He had no idea how decadent the Golden Dynasty outside had become.

Bai Shi shook his head, but still told him about the devastating war that later took place on the border.

If you rush into the dangerous border area without knowing it, the result will definitely be bad.

After listening to Bai Shi's story, the merchant from the nomadic tribe stood there in a daze.

After a while, he also shook his head and looked at the letter with a very complicated expression.

"Alas, I thought this thing could be of some use to you..."

"I guess those compatriots from the caravan have also evacuated from the royal city."

"Now it seems like a piece of waste paper. Sorry."

Bai Shi waved his hand and accepted the letter.

"It's okay. I have a friend who is also from your wandering nation."

"He is very interested in finding the big caravan and has been following its trail."

"This letter will definitely help him."

The wandering trader smiled.

"I hope he can succeed."

Bai Shi asked them to wait outside for a while until the elevator was repaired, and then left with the letter.

When he returned to Stonewell's throne, Bai Shi took out the letter again.

This letter is encrypted using the nomadic people's ciphertext, so it is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

But because it was too boring in the magic academy, the wandering merchant had already translated the secret code and wrote it on it.

Bai Shi read it once and found that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the letter.

The leader of the caravan expressed his true feelings and called on his compatriots to work together to make a fortune.

In Bai Shi's opinion, the caravan should not have encountered any assassination during this period.

Marika's massacre was aimed at the large caravans of nomadic tribes in the royal city, while the nomadic tribes outside the royal city were not deliberately persecuted at all.

Therefore, there should be no need for fishing enforcement.

Bai Shi placed the letter on the armrest and leaned back.

Queen Malika, the Great Caravan, the Madness...

After all, there was a real madness, and then there was Marika's trap.

Or was it Marika's murder that caused the wandering people to go crazy in despair?

Bai Shi thought of Kale who was looking for the big caravan.

Before, Kale said that he wanted to look for the footprints of the big caravan. Another wandering ethnic merchant he met before also said that he met him, but he didn’t know where he was now.

Bai Shi felt that letting him face this cruel truth was not a good choice.

But he has the right to know.
-
In the next few days, Bai Shi ran back and forth between Stonewell and the Magic Academy as planned.

During this period, Bai Shi successfully mastered gravity magic and many moves in the Ancient Dragon Prayer.

Bai Shi can now control ordinary lightning with ease, but he is still some distance away from being as proficient as Feng Bao.

As for the red lightning that was exclusive to the ancient dragon, Bai Shi now needed to release it in a specific form of prayer. Because of his constant mastery of these lightnings, Bai Shi was the first to master gravity lightning in the advanced gravity magic.

With continuous efforts, Bai Shi has also partially mastered the most difficult force of gravity.

Then Bai Shi naturally mastered the part of the repulsive force that is the opposite pole of gravity.
-
On this day, Bai Shi did not study with Odiz and Celine Shanks.

Bai Shi came to a classroom accompanied by Teacher Se Lian and Hetis.

This classroom is the one where the leaders of each classroom in the magic academy once supervised the magic academy.

Today, Bai Shi plans to use pyroxene to contact the cuckoos.

Bai Shi and Teacher Se Lian stood in front of the table, while Hetis stepped forward and activated the magic circle on the pyroxene block, making it work.

After a while, the image of Dujuan appeared in front of Bai Shi and others.

A middle-aged man appeared in front of Bai Shi and others.

He has black, slightly curly hair that falls around his face.

What he wears is not the iconic Cuckoo Knight, but a unique piece of equipment that distinguishes him from other Cuckoos.

After the call was connected, the other party bowed and saluted.

“Greetings.”

"My name is Merrill."

Bai Shi nodded at him in response.

"You should know something about what's going on in the magic academy."

"Can you speak for all of you?"

The other party nodded.

"I am the leader of the Cuckoo Army."

"Those guys from the former magic academy wouldn't open the seal."

"Then it's self-evident what happened in the academy."

Bai Shi looked at the Dujuan leader in front of him and explained his purpose directly:

"In that case, I will just say it clearly."

"I am Bai Shi, the Storm King of Stonewell. The School of Magic is now under my rule."

"From now on, the magic academy will be led by my teacher, Seren."

"You can still choose to continue your cooperation with the School of Magic and station in Lienia."

"But all your actions need to be under my supervision."

"Will you pledge your loyalty to me, or face destruction?"

Merrill broke out in a cold sweat.

He hesitated for an inexplicable moment, his eyes involuntarily glancing to the side, and after a while he gave an answer:

"I have heard of your reputation and admire you very much."

“It is our honor to be able to work with you to create great achievements.”

Bai Shi nodded and finalized the matter.

It's over now.

But the cuckoo still needs to be kept a closer eye on.
-
After Bai Shi hung up the phone, the Cuckoo leader named Merrill breathed a sigh of relief and looked to his side.

There was a very gorgeous container, with a pool of silver tears inside.

Just now he was talking to Bai Shi under the instruction of Teardrop.

"My Lord, what do you think?"

The pool of silver tears slowly moved, creating ripples on the surface.

Then a figure that looked exactly like Merrill stood up and slowly spoke.

It's just that what it said sounded like it was talking to itself.

"He has touched the Holy Grail..."

Merrill was stunned.

"……what?"

However, the imitation teardrop had no intention of paying attention to him and was thinking on its own.

The teardrops are very sensitive about their origins.

So even if it was a projection brought about by magic, it could clearly sense that there were special traces left by the Teardrop Holy Grail on Bai Shi's body.

Seeing that his boss was talking to himself, Merrill quickly shut his mouth and dared not speak again easily.

After a while, the bionic teardrop said to him:
"Let's continue playing with them for a while."

"Send more men down into the underground well, regardless of the losses."

"Then call those fire martial arts practitioners to come along, we need to speed up the progress."
-
Today, Bai Shi was not in a hurry to go to training.

I have almost mastered gravity magic and ancient dragon prayer, and can use them easily except for a few individual moves.

Those individual moves cannot be learned in just one or two days.

Moreover, Bai Shi also needs to go through actual combat to further master these newly learned moves.

There are still a few days until Melina comes out.

Why not take this opportunity to take a look at the "Southern Death Rituals" mentioned by the old woman?

The previous explanation refers to the old woman only referring to the south, but this range is quite vague and needs to be considered carefully.
