Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 301 The Secret Treasure of the Tower
Seeing that the old woman with horns really recognized him as a brave man, Bai Shi felt a little weird.

Now he kept his face tense, afraid that he would laugh in the next second.

I have to say, this experience is quite amazing.

Bai Shi summoned a breeze around him to prove his identity to the old horned woman.

The wind moved extremely slowly, but contained an extremely heavy force.

When the old horned woman felt the pure power of the storm, she became more certain of the identity of the brave man who came.

Bai Shi coughed lightly and spoke:

"...Yes, I'm back."

"I have eliminated those villains who harassed us."

After hearing Bai Shi's words, the old woman from the Horned Man was extremely excited, as if she had received great encouragement.

“Ahh… That’s great!”

"Mother-in-law, I am willing to sing for your dance."

The old Horned woman was very excited and hummed an unknown Horned tune.

After a while, she came back to her senses from her self-indulgent joy.

Bai Shi looked at the old woman with horns in front of him and did not interrupt her.

This old horned woman seemed to have spent too much time alone, and her mental state was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

After singing once, the old woman stretched out her hand to the white consciousness in front of her and said excitedly:

"Hero! Please empathize with our anger and dance beautifully."

"Those sons of Marika who betrayed us and set fire to us—"

"Messermo... and his minions..."

"Please, punish them!"

Bai Shi continued to play the role of a brave man, holding the old woman's skinny hands with both hands, and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, I will drive them all out."

"Don't leave any one behind. Drive them all out."

The old horned woman's lips trembled, as if she had made some kind of decision.

Finally, she spoke to Bai Shi:
"...Hero, the divine beast."

"Please take my son with you."

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment and had no idea what the old woman was talking about.
Her...son?
Then, a pale yellow gaseous soul ball with a skull on it floated out beside the old woman.

The old horned woman controlled the skull made of souls and let it slowly float to the side of Bai Shi.

Bai Shi blinked as he looked at the soul ball floating over from the palm of the old horned woman.

Is this the son that the old horned woman mentioned just now?
But... this thing is even worse than those white spirits muttering outside. There is no thought in it.

What was the point of handing her son over to him?

Bai Shi called out to Ashmi in his heart.

"Ashimi, if that soul shows any abnormal behavior later, you must destroy it."

"Do you understand?"

Ashimi in Baishi's body quickly gave a reply.

"I understand. Don't worry, host."

"This kind of guy can be dealt with in a snap."

Bai Shi nodded silently.

Then he stretched out his hand and let the soul float to his hand.

As a special life form, Ashimi can fight with souls in places like the spiritual world, so this little soul is no problem.

The ball of soul energy moved along Bai Shi's body and floated above his head.

The old woman explained:
"My brave man, my son has already died in the massacre..."

"But his soul was sublimated when he rose up in resistance and turned into a guardian spirit."

"I'm proud of him and hope he can stay by your side and protect you."

Baizhi could not sense any thoughts or emotions from the soul, and did not know what a guardian spirit was.

After thinking about it, Bai Shi took the initiative to use his soul to touch, trying to obtain more information.

And the guardian spirit did not respond to Bai Shi's temptation.

With a deeper understanding, Bai Shi finally understood what kind of existence the guardian spirit was.

Although it is indeed a soul, it has no relationship with its predecessor.

Now this thing is just a turret that automatically locks onto enemies and summons resentful spirits to assist in attacks.

Bai Shi thought for a while and decided to refine it with the power of the Great Rune after he left.

After all, this thing is not a part of his soul, and he cannot leave any hidden dangers.

Even if it's harmless, it's still annoying.

And this part of the ability is exactly what Bai Shi needs.

Now we have a method to carry out soul attacks.

The next time I go to the spirit world, I will have the means to deal with soul-like enemies.

Letting the guardian spirit float above him, Bai Shi continued to look at the old horned woman.

If the old horned woman had nothing else to say, he would be ready to leave.

As expected by Bai Shi, the old horned woman took out a carved stone amulet from her robe.

She wiped the surface of the amulet with the corner of her clothes, and then handed it to Bai Shi.

"Please keep this amulet with you as well."

"I think this will bring you good luck, old lady."

The shape of this skin care product is a mythical beast, a lion dancing furiously with a huge bloody mouth.

Bai Shi took the amulet in his hand and immediately felt the power it carried.

The power of this amulet is the same as that of the head of a mythical beast, and it can enhance the power of the storm.

Bai Shi was pleasantly surprised, and began to plan to make room in the amulet leather bag for the amulet.

If Bai Shi had only brought the head of a dancing lion, a mythical beast, to increase the power of the storm, he would have hesitated.

Now with this amulet, there is no need to hesitate any more.

Any hesitation would be a sign of disrespect for numbers.

Although appearance is also important, attributes cannot be ignored.

With this thing, it would not be impossible for him to have a lion's head every day.

Bai Shi immediately accepted it with joy.

Unlike that guardian spirit whose meaning is unclear and useless, this amulet is very useful to Baishi.

At this moment, Bai Shi felt much more favorable towards the old woman, and he could forget the past incident in which she scolded him.

Then the old woman seemed to remember something and continued:
"Yongren, now... do you have any weapons that are convenient for you?"

"Without the cooperation of your companions, it would be difficult to dance freely, right?"

When Bai Shi heard this, he immediately became alert.

This sentence is just like the elders in the family asking: "Is there enough money to spend?"

Usually at this time, the next plot is to start giving out red envelopes.

It looks like there are some good stuff, and it looks like some kind of weapon.

Although he had almost no knowledge of brave men and divine beasts, at least he had just torn one apart with his bare hands.

After the battle, Bai Shi understood a little bit.

The mythical beast lion dance, or the warriors' fighting style is very unique.

They cooperated with each other, and the two of them danced the mythical beast lion dance together. Only by coordinating closely with each other and becoming one, could the lion dance be divined.

Now Bai Shi is naturally only playing the role of one person, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot perform the complete lion dance moves.

So Bai Shi answered the old woman:
"That's right. The current lion dance is incomplete, and the power of the sacred beast cannot be completely brought down."

"And in this case, it's hard to perform with bare hands."

The old horned woman raised a finger and pointed at the guardian spirit floating above the white consciousness.

Then the guardian spirit began to move in a certain direction.

After doing all this, the old woman with horns said to Bai Shi:

"Hero, when the tower town was attacked and destroyed, the secret treasure of the tower was still preserved."

"They used the shadows of the trees to block off the upper levels of the Tower Town—the great Einil Elim."

"However, the real location of the secret treasure is in a secret place in the Tower Town that they have never been to."

"Hero! Go take the secret treasure, wield it, and avenge us!"

"If you use that weapon, even if you're alone, you can still perform a beautiful dance!"

Bai Shi feels a little embarrassed now.

First it was a guardian spirit, then a talisman, and now she had to point him in the direction of the secret treasure of the Tower.

When the old woman saw the brave man in disguise, she really took out all her belongings.

So Bai Shi nodded and said to the old woman:
"Then I will go get the weapon."

"Just wait for my good news."

After saying that, Bai Shi left and went out.

The old woman of the horned people silently felt the white consciousness gradually leaving, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was difficult to suppress.

Finally, finally she saw the hope of revenge!

She had been waiting for this day, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting.

Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, so I spend more time daydreaming.

Sometimes I can’t tell whether it’s reality or a dream.

I was not in a good mood and fell into a deep sleep from time to time. I didn't know when I would never wake up.

"Oh, right."

"Let's make scorpion soup while we're still energetic."

"It must have been a long time since Yuto tasted this soup, the one he used to drink during family reunions."

The old horned woman jumped down from the table and began to grope around in the warehouse looking for materials.

It would be perfect to use this scorpion soup as a gift to welcome the return of the brave man and the divine beast.
-
Bai Shi walked in the Tower Town, feeling very safe all the way.

After he wore the head of the mythical beast, the shadow people on the road were all respectful to him and no longer made any attacking moves.

It seems that Yongren's status in Tower Town is even more exaggerated than he imagined.

Bai Shi looked up at the guardian spirit floating above his head, constantly guiding him in the right direction.

Now this guardian spirit was like a navigator, tilting slightly and pointing the direction for Bai Shi.

While following the guardian spirit, Bai Shi began to think about the horned man.

He originally wanted to ask the old horned woman about past wars.

But...it seems that these things are known to all the people in the corners.

As a brave man, it would be too strange if he didn't even know this.

If I ask this, my image will probably be ruined.

Although there is no loss to Bai Shi if he is exposed.

However, by then, that old woman will surely be devastated...

When Bai Shi thought of the old woman's collapse, he began to regret playing the role of a brave man.

The old horned woman has suffered enough. If she knew that the brave men in front of her who were hoping for revenge were all disguised as the people of the Golden Tree, she would definitely go crazy.

It is too cruel to crush other people's hopes with one's own hands, and Bai Shi just can't do it.

Because of this, Bai Shi ultimately did not ask questions that would ruin his character.

Fortunately, there is still a way to continue obtaining information.

Ampah had studied in Tower Town for some time before, so he probably knew something.

And now all the enemies in Zhenzhi Town have been cleared out, so there is no danger anymore.

Later, you can try to ask him to help investigate.

Bai Shi walked forward in the direction indicated by the guardian spirit, and suddenly his expression changed.

There was no road ahead, but the guardian spirit was still moving forward.

Bai Shi had a bad premonition in his heart and looked forward.

As expected, what appeared before them was a vast poisonous swamp.

It was the same poisonous swamp that he and Freya had found in the sewer before.

Bai Shi's mouth twitched and he covered his face.

He should have thought of it earlier. Since the old thief Miyazaki placed a pit of manure here, there must be something in it.

It’s no wonder that after Messermo’s army had searched through Tower Town, there were no secret treasures left.

It turns out that it is hidden in a place like this. It is really... unexpected.

But it does make sense, after all, it is the world of Miyazaki the old thief.

Bai Shi sighed and floated in the air.

At the same time, Baizhi summoned a storm to dispel the smell of corruption around him.

Following the instructions of the guardian spirit, Bai Shi headed towards the depths of the poisonous swamp.

While flying in this poisonous swamp, Bai Shi discovered that the poisonous swamp was filled with human-shaped flies.

Those blurry flying figures I saw before were all human-shaped flies.

These humanoid flies are all different, but almost all of them are kneeling and praying.

Seeing the number of these human-shaped flies, Bai Shi felt his scalp tingling.

There are so many of these humanoid flies that it is estimated that there are more than the number of shadow horned people in Tower Town.

Some human-shaped flies were located relatively close to the sky, and when they saw Bai Shi, they actually flew after him.

However, Bai Shi was very fast, so they gave up after chasing him for a while.

Soon, Bai Shi arrived at the location pointed by the guardian spirit.

The place where the secret treasure of the tower is placed is a tall spiral tower. In front of the tower there is a horned warrior guarding it in the poisonous swamp.

Unlike the blind old horned woman, the horned warrior will not be fooled by Bai Shi's crude disguise.

He immediately picked up the Horned Warrior's curved sword and swung it towards Bai Shi.

Bai Shi stretched out his arm and swung it fiercely into the air.

Following Bai Shi's movement, a tornado of unprecedented scale formed instantly, howling and enveloping the horned warrior.

After the tornado dissipated, the figure of the Horned Warrior had disappeared from the spot, leaving only the fragments of the broken weapon.

Bai Shi felt the storm, which was now doubly boosted, and was very satisfied.

After this wave of improvement, Storm has clearly reached a higher level.

After getting rid of the horn warrior, Bai Shi flew into the tower.

What appeared before Bai Shi was a strange double-headed sword.

　It is said that if you use the guardian spirit to attack the old horned woman, the guardian spirit will attack the player in return. I don't know if it's true or not. I saw it on the Internet. If you are interested, you can try it.
