Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 314 Admit it, no one loves you

Hearing Bai Shi's words, Servais was stunned.

...demigod?
He wants to turn a demigod into a puppet! ?

"you……"

You are simply a talented artist!
Servis was so shocked by Bai Shi's sudden words that he felt a little uneasy.

He was surprised and delighted.

What makes him happy is that there are people who can have the same lofty goals as him.

What was shocking was that Bai Shi told him directly.

This was the first time they met, and she was just telling him this outrageous idea?

It's abnormal, a little too weird.

At this moment, Servais became extremely alert.

Logically speaking, Bai Shi shouldn't know him.

But when it comes to such a powerful person, you can't use common sense to judge him.

Could it be that Lani sent him to test her?
Servis wanted to talk to Bai Shi enthusiastically, but suddenly changed his mind:

"Are you serious?"

"That's a heinous crime!"

"You should think carefully about the consequences of saying such things to someone like me who loyally follows a wise demigod."

After saying this, Servais himself couldn't hold it in anymore.

However, since we are facing a possible inspection, no exaggeration is too much.

After hearing what Servais said, Bai Shi couldn't hold it anymore.

When it comes to loyalty, Servais is unique in the border area.

If it wasn't for the purpose of getting close to Servais through the topic of puppets, Bai Shi would not have talked to him about making a demigod into a puppet.

Bai Shi tried hard to suppress his uneasy smile, but there was always a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, it turns out he's just a mediocre person."

"Without enlightenment, your life will be like this, and you can only admire ordinary puppets."

Hearing Bai Shi calling him a mediocre person, Servais's eyes twitched.

How could he, who thinks so highly of himself, tolerate such words?
But after looking at Bai Shi, he decided to just endure it.

But since Bai Shi said so, could it be that he really wants to turn the demigod into a puppet?
Servis asked Bai Shi again:

"…Which demigod do you want to attack?"

"Let me make it clear first. I am not trying to get involved in your plan. I am just making sure that the one I serve will not be affected."

"Well, that's it."

Looking at Servis who was trying to cover up his crime, Bai Shi thought for a moment and said:

"I don't want to tell you the identity of that demigod."

"After all, if you don't have the ability to make potions, you are not qualified to participate."

"In short, he is a demigod of noble descent, and his father is Radagon, the second Elden King of the Golden Tree."

"He has dark secrets and plans hidden under a harmless appearance. He once hid behind the scenes of the Broken War and guided the development of the war."

"The most important thing is that he should trust me very much, so the chances of success are very high."

After listening to Bai Shi's description, Selvis suddenly became excited.

He fell into unprecedented excitement and ecstasy.

Based on Bai Shi's description, Servais could only think of one person.

Who else could be a demigod that Bai Shi could make into a puppet to taste?
Only Lani!
So... you also play with puppets!

Bai Shi actually has such a high aesthetic sense! Could it be that someone finally understands him?
Servais smiled with an uncontrollable smile and said:

"Hmm, it seems that this is not the one I serve."

"If that's the case, I don't have any burden."

“Hehehe…hahahaha!”

In Servais's opinion, Bai Shi didn't seem to understand the puppet production process very well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question as "Is it possible to turn a demigod into a puppet?"

It is a consensus among puppet makers that no one can make a demigod puppet.

but!

He, Selvis, is different.

He is a professor of magic, and he has a great deal of love for his puppets.

Love made him find a way.

If it is the starlight that controls destiny, then the amber starlight represents the fate of the gods.

As long as you find the 'destiny' of the demigods - amber starlight, the potion will emit a soft luster.

I'm sure even demigods would be intoxicated by that potion.

It's a pity that this is just an idea and he doesn't have the power to realize it.

But now it’s different. The appearance of Bai Shi has given Servais hope.

At this moment, Selvis couldn't suppress his smile at all.

This feeling is more than just finding the possibility of achieving the ultimate goal.

It was also because he saw the secret beneath Bai Shi's sanctimonious appearance.

I thought Bai Shi was a mediocre person with no taste, but I didn't expect that he could actually understand the beauty of puppets.

And originally, Servais was thinking about the cooperation between Bai Shi and Lani...

That’s right, it’s just cooperation after all.

In the border area, betrayal is a normal and unacceptable behavior.

Perhaps this unexpected betrayal will make the final fruit even sweeter.

Besides, he has no qualifications to speak plainly.

After all, as Lani's servant, he had thought countless times about making Lani into a puppet and carefully savoring her beauty.

Ah! Lani's puppet...

Now is fantasy time...

Seeing Servais with his head down in deep thought, occasionally making disgusting low noises, Bai Shi knew he had been tricked.

What he was actually talking about just now was Michaela.

It was just that Bai Shi deliberately misled Servais and made him think about Lani.

This way, Servais would let down his guard and help him make the amber potion.

Servais thought Bai Shi was on the first level and he was on the second level.

It’s a pity that Bai Shi is not in the same dimension as him.

Bai Shi is the most terrifying "player" outside the border area. Unless Servais can break the dimensional wall, don't even mention which level he is at.

Servais' underwear was clearly visible, how could he fight against Bai Shi?
Bai Shi coughed twice, interrupting Servais's fantasy time.

This Servais is really a little confused and can't tell the difference between the big king and the small king.

At first glance, the diagnosis was: the person had played with low-quality puppets too much and had damaged his brain.

I already disliked him in the game, and now it's even more difficult to hold back after meeting him.

Do you really want to turn Lani into a puppet?

Once you get the potion, ask Lani to kill you.

Bai Shi opened his mouth and asked Servais:

"So, do you have this ability?"

"If you don't have the ability, then don't pretend to be so great. You're just wasting my time."

Servais came to his senses and realized his gaffe.

Now that he was sure that Bai Shi needed his help, Servais regained his usual arrogant attitude.

Servis opened his mouth and said to Bai Shi in a deliberately arrogant tone:
"Then let me tell you, you've found the right person."

"If there is anyone in the borderland who can make a potion that will intoxicate the demigods, it's me."

"You seem to be of a high status, but if you want to ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help."

"I won't make things difficult for you. I'm just asking you, can you really understand the beauty of puppets?"

Bai Shi smiled.

Although he doesn't know much about puppets, he knows a lot about figures and the like.

This is the confidence that the second dimension brings him.

"Of course, in my hometown, all kinds of puppets are the most popular prizes."

"It's just that the name is a little different from that in the border area. The most popular ones in our area are the exquisite puppets that are scaled down and can be held in the hands for appreciation. They are commonly known as figurines."

"And without having to go to great lengths to find the materials, you can create more exquisite and flawless works of art."

"I can only say that the puppets from the border area are nothing in my hometown."

…………

Listening to Bai Shi's eloquent narration, Selvis was also shocked.

He called himself an elegant puppet appraiser, but he had only appraised ordinary puppets made of artificial materials. Judging the quality of a puppet was entirely based on the quality of the material of the puppet itself.

The 'figures' that Bai Shi was talking about now were of many types, many of which he had never heard of.

There are even things called "models" among them, which seem to have nothing to do with humans and are like golems.

In addition to feeling strange, Servais also felt an immense yearning.

If you think about it, it would be really exciting if there were so many types of puppets, instead of just relying on the quality of the 'material' itself.

Moreover, in Bai Shi's hometown, collecting and appreciating puppets is actually something that many people can accept.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

At this moment, Servais had been fooled by Bai Shi.

"Can... can I see your collection of puppets? No, can I see the things called figures?"

Bai Shi shook his head and rejected him.

Just kidding, he didn’t travel through time with the action figures.

"I kept them in the safest place."

"Even if the border areas are completely destroyed, they will not be affected."

“So don’t even think about figurines.”

Servis thought to himself that it was a pity, and asked Bai Shi again:

"Then...if my puppets could appear in your hometown, what kind of evaluation would they receive?"

Servais swallowed and no longer maintained his arrogant attitude.

Bai Shi glanced at Servais.

"You..."

"Excuse me, although your puppet-making skills are pretty good, your taste is really average."

When people in the real world see things like the puppets at the border, they would probably experience the uncanny valley effect.

Servis was incredulous when he heard this, and he immediately refuted Bai Shi in a somewhat awkward manner:
"impossible!"

"The puppets I made are all perfect children!"

"Tell me, what's wrong with my taste!?"

After saying this, Servais suddenly felt a little regretful.

Are you really going to give up your life by talking like this to someone who is far stronger than you?
If this body was destroyed and he lost his identity as a magic professor, he would not be able to continue collecting high-quality puppet materials.

But Servais really wanted to know why Bai Shi said he had bad taste.

Bai Shi pointed at the various puppets in the basement and said:

“You can tell at a glance.”

"There is no love for puppets here."

Servis stared at Bai Shi, his tone becoming increasingly impatient.

"like?"

"What do you know, it's a joke?"

"There are so many puppets, and each soul has its own unique qualities. I love every child here!"

“I’ve showered them with love!”

Bai Shi smiled faintly in response to Servais's rebuttal.

He was anxious, he was anxious.

It is really unbearable. He is obviously doing a lowly and dirty job, but he calls himself a connoisseur.

"It's very simple. It's not your love for puppets."

"But none of the puppets here love you."

"Whether it's this one..."

"Or... that one."

Bai Shi pointed at the pot man who was almost favored by Servis, and then pointed his finger at a collection deep in his basement.

In the deepest part of the basement, a specially treasured puppet was lying on its back on the bed.

The puppet was dressed in a hunting suit, neat and simple, with a fur hat placed beside the bed.

Her short hair fell naturally, revealing her cold and lifeless handsome face.

She has a pleasant appearance and dresses in a rather neutral style, so both men and women are attracted to her.

She is Dolores, the 'Arrow of Deep Sleep'.

Servais's breath hitched.

He wanted to retort, but couldn't.

Because everything Bai Shi said was true.

The sad truth was blatantly revealed, and inferiority overwhelmed him. He no longer dared to refute it.

Bai Shi shook his head and continued:
"It's really sad."

"They don't have any love for you."

"If they could, they would kill you with their own hands, right?"

"Admit it, no one loves you."

Servais lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said to himself:

"How about that?"

"How could anyone volunteer to be a puppet?"

"Isn't it natural that I can't get the love of the puppets..."

After hearing what Servais said, Bai Shi laughed.

When dealing with these bad guys, you have to watch them break down.

"Of course there are people who voluntarily become puppets."

"It's just that... you may not have the chance to see it."

"If you're not dead when we meet next time, I'll let you see what I can do."

"I think, after seeing this, you will never be able to accept these loveless puppets again."

Servais took a deep breath.

"Okay... I'll be looking forward to it then."

Bai Shi nodded and deliberately asked Servais:

"Well, let's talk about that demigod thing."

"Do you need anything to make a potion?"

"Or have you already made it?"

Servais raised his head somewhat weakly and sighed.

“I haven’t made one yet.”

"But I have found a way to make the potion. Now I only need the last key ingredient."

"Those are the fragments of starlight that passed by in an instant, illusory fragments that emit amber light."

"Amber Starlight, as long as I have it, I can make a potion."

Bai Shi nodded, turned and walked out of the basement.

"I will bring back Amber Starlight."

"Just prepare to make the potion and look forward to that day."
-
After Bai Shi left, Servais looked at Dolores, who was lifeless and extremely cold.

No matter how many times he looked at her, Servais was impressed by her.

He tried every possible means and finally got her.

But today, Bai Shi's words once again tore open the wound in his heart.

All the unpleasant memories of the past came to Servais' mind.

In the distant past, Servais once stayed in the Round Table Hall for a while.

There, he met Dolores.

Her elegance and independence were amazing, and she seemed to treat him completely differently from everyone else.

Servais then experienced one of life’s greatest illusions: She liked herself.

Just when he thought he had met the most special person in his life, his contact with Dolores and Baizhi made him face the reality.

In the end, Servais managed to get Dolores, but she would never belong to him.

Servis punched the pyroxene crystals scattered throughout the basement, and the fragile crystals instantly shattered to the ground.

“Ahhhhh——!”

"why why?"

"Do you hate me so much? You can't love me!"

Servais walked step by step to Dolores' bed and touched her face with his hand.

"After a while, I will put you in Kalia Castle..."

"I will definitely continue to love you well and deeply."
