Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 339 Millicent is such a strong girl

After being retrieved by Slude, these black knife assassins have rested well in Stonewell.

The Black Blade Assassins had been hiding in various cemeteries and dungeons for many years and had no time to maintain their armor, so a lot of it was damaged.

For the sake of secrecy, it is naturally impossible to let an ordinary blacksmith repair it.

And those blacksmiths don't have this ability.

Fortunately, Mr. Iggy, who knew the whole truth and was absolutely loyal to Lani, was also among Stonewell.

Because of this, the Black Blade Assassins' equipment can be handed over to him for repair without any worries.

Now the Black Blade Assassins are in their prime and full of energy.

So four big old ladies wearing lots of cloth got ready and appeared in front of Bai Shi, waiting for orders.

Looking at their tall figures and determined eyes, one can already tell that they are the best among the black knife assassins.

Bai Shi looked at the black knife assassins in front of him and issued the first order:
"Slude will continue to stay in Stonewell, and as for the rest of you, I have a mission to assign to you."

"I hope you can help me investigate a person and the forces under him."

"Sir Hundred Wisdom' Gideon O'Fnir."

"Don't carry out assassinations, just collect intelligence and protect yourself."

The four new black knife assassins lowered their heads together and made note of the target in their minds.

Then their figures disappeared again and they had already set off.

As for Slude, the strongest of the Black Knife Assassins, Bai Shi continued to let her stay in Stonewell as a safety measure.

Now there is no particular need for the black knife assassins in Stonewell, and Slude's black knife is enough.

So Bai Shi planned to let them get some information.

Bai Shi no longer cares about Bai Zhi's potential threat.

In the past, when he was still underdeveloped, he was quite afraid of this old bastard who was always hiding in the dark, not knowing what he was thinking.

But now... let his parents come.

Even if Baizhi used all his strength, it was hard to say whether he could withstand a single attack from Baishi.

When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

However, Bai Shi had no intention of getting rid of him.

Bai Shi was curious about what Bai Zhi was all about.

What kind of guidance did he receive, and what was his purpose?

If you can understand this, you will know his real interests and his position.

Even if their interests coincide, Bai Shi could reconcile with him.

After all, there was no deep hatred between the two.

But Baizhi's wisdom is genuine.

This is also the reason why Bai Shi only allowed the Black Knife Assassins to collect intelligence.
-
Bai Shi stood up and put his consciousness into the storm above Stonewell.

As he moved, everything about Stonewell gradually appeared in his mind.

All traces of the Monget brothers' previous riot in the city had completely disappeared, and the city had returned to its former tranquility.

Bai Shi could see many people who looked like doctors gathering together, and all kinds of supplies were being drawn from various warehouses.

The people preparing to go to the Shadow Land are not ready yet.

After all, the task was just issued this morning, and it will take some time to mobilize manpower and materials.

These times are unavoidable and there is no way to rush them.

But it doesn’t take much time, it only takes one or two days to prepare.

Anyway, there is no need for Bai Shi to come and dispatch it personally, so it doesn’t matter if you wait a little while.

After thinking about it, Bai Shi decided not to waste this time.

Let's go to Galide first and bring Hilbert back.

Using the blessing, Bai Shi was teleported directly to the Red Lion City.

When I opened my eyes, a strange Red Lion City appeared before my eyes.

The inside of Red Lion City has completely changed.

Under the effect of the neutralizing incense specifically designed for scarlet corruption, the corruption that had taken root in Red Lion City was completely eliminated.

Bai Shi arrived at the wall of Red Lion City and looked at Gaileyd outside.

On the isolated island where the Red Lion City is located, all the Scarlet Corruption has been expelled.

At the other end of the Unbreakable Bridge, there was an even tighter wall of fire.

In the part within the fire wall, green spots have gradually appeared on the land, and some normal plants have begun to grow again.

Although the progress seems insignificant compared to the vast Gaileyd, it is still a significant improvement.

Seeing the results, the Red Lions regained their fighting spirit and joined the fight against corruption more actively.

Bai Shi looked at the expanding wall of fire and nodded.

Although it is now known that sunlight can restore corruption to abundance, Bai Shi has no intention of using it yet.

In a place as big as Gaileed, even if we squeeze all the white consciousness out of it, it won’t be able to solve the problem.

Until a sufficiently adequate solution is found, let's just leave it this way.

Because he hadn't thoroughly understood corruption, Bai Shi had no intention of interfering with their actions.

Even if it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution, it is fine to let them treat the symptoms.

Anyway, the resources for making incense and medicine are not worth mentioning at all. It's worth it to give these warriors hope.

Bai Shi found Hilbert in the same laboratory.

At this moment she was holding some plants for research.

The material in Hilbert's hand was exactly the first batch of new plants that grew on the land after it was purified outside.

As a plant that starts growing again immediately, perhaps there is something unique about it.

Seeing Bai Shi, Hilbert looked up in surprise and put down the experimental materials in his hand.

"Oh, you actually have time to come here, it's rare."

"Is it for the test that was not completed last time?"

What Hilbert was talking about was, of course, the effect of sunlight on the scarlet corrupted creatures.

Bai Shi shook his head.

"I have seen the situation of combating corruption outside, and you have made an indelible contribution."

"But I'm not here for Galide's business this time."

"There are some injured people who need to be taken care of now, and I need you to come with me."

Hilbert nodded.

"There has been no significant progress here in Gaileed for the time being, and everything can proceed as planned without my presence."

"But before going to the place you mentioned, I plan to collect some materials."

"We have been in Gaileed for too long, and the common materials have been almost used up."

Although Stonewell always sends a lot of raw materials for blending neutralizing fragrance, there are very few other materials that are not on the list.

Since this time you are going for treatment, you need to prepare materials that are as general as possible.

As Red Lion City continued to consume resources, many common materials had run out.

Hilbert suddenly remembered that she was now relying on Stonewell's support, and changed his words:

"Or prepare some from Stonewell?"

"They are all relatively common materials. There should be quite a few in Stonewell."

Bai Shi listened to Hilbert listing a series of names and nodded without hesitation.

"of course."

"They are all materials of flowers and plants. Stonewell has piled up a lot of them."

Suddenly, Bai Shi thought of Hu Village.

Speaking of the place to collect flower and plant materials in previous games, it must be Hu Village.

Although there is no need to go there to fleece the sheep now, we still have to take the Hu people from Hu Village away.

He had agreed with Alexander before, asking him to communicate with the pots and move to Stoneville to become residents. In Stoneville, the living pots would not have to worry about poachers.

Bai Shi looked at Hilbert and asked:
"Speaking of which, where's Alexander?"

Hilbert thought for a moment and replied:
"Alexander has passed away, not long after he recovered from his injury."

"It seems he went to Stonevale, but maybe you didn't meet him."

Bai Shi shrugged.

There was no way around it. He spent most of his time running around the border area and spent very little time in the city.

But if Alexander had gone to Stonewell to look for him, no one should have told him.

From this point of view, it is also possible that Alexander was lost.

Judging from the time, Alexander should have reached Lienia by now.

Forget it, at worst he can go to Hu Village to communicate himself.

Although the Pots are wary of outsiders, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking of Alexander, Bai Shi couldn't help but laugh.

I wonder if Alexander will be trapped in Lienia again?
-
On the terrace east of Lienia.

'Iron Fist' Alexander, who was walking on the road, suddenly stopped and scratched the lid.

"Uh-huh?"

The red-haired girl walking in front of him noticed something was wrong with her companion, turned around and asked:

"Alexander, why did you stop so suddenly?"

If Bai Shi was here, he would be very surprised.

Because the girl who was traveling with Alexander now was none other than Millicent, who was setting out on her own on the road to the Sacred Tree.

After traveling all the way from Galeed, she traveled through Nimgfu and stopped for a while in Stonewell.

After leaving Stoneville, Millicent set out on her journey again and came to Lienia.

At that time, Millicent encountered a group of ghosts in the ruins.

She had lost her dominant hand and it was difficult for her to fight back. She tried her best but couldn't win.

Alexander happened to be lost and wandered nearby. He heard the sound of fighting and rushed over to rescue Millicent.

The crisis was resolved, and Alexander got to know Millicent.

No one would dislike a warm and friendly warrior like Alexander.

Especially after they found out that they both knew Bai Shi and had received his favor, they became more familiar with each other.

As their destinations were very far away, the two decided to travel together and find a way to climb the Yatan Plateau.

Alexander came to his senses when he heard Millicent's doubt.

"Oh, I'm fine."

"It's just...why do I feel like someone is thinking about me behind my back?"

Millicent looked up at the road ahead.

"Ah, are we almost at the hometown you mentioned?"

"Perhaps your fellow countrymen remembered you."

Alexander leaned forward and began to think about the possibility of this matter.

"Haha, now that you mention it, it is indeed possible."

Following his imagination, Alexander couldn't help but think of the hometown he had never returned to.

At this moment, even the appearance of my hometown is very blurry, only the figures of my compatriots are still vivid in my mind.

My hometown...

My hometown is so beautiful and peaceful, which is incompatible with the border area filled with blood and fire.

When I think of my hometown in such a cruel land like the border, I can't help but immerse myself in the warmth.

One day, he will be affected by those gentle memories and stop in his tracks.

A warrior needs to move forward courageously and have firm beliefs.

But...

“…Since we’re here, let’s take a look at our hometown.”

"Ahem, on the way, on the way..."

Looking at Alexander who reached out to touch the lid, Millicent smiled slightly.

"If it were a human, it would probably sneeze when it was missed."

Alexander laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, it seems that humans do behave like this sometimes."

"Oh, the kettle can obviously talk, but why can't it sneeze? That's weird."

"I can obviously feel cold and hot, um, forget it, I won't think about things I can't think of the answer to."

Alexander stretched out his arms and crossed them across his chest, and suddenly remembered something.

"Well, speaking of my hometown..."

"Bai Shi seemed to have told me before that he wanted to bring the Hus to live in Stonewell."

"Oh my, I was thinking about visiting him in Stonevale."

"Unfortunately, when I came to my senses, I had already bypassed Stonewell and didn't even see the main entrance."

“I don’t know if I can meet him again in the future.”

When Millicent heard Alexander mention Bai Shi, she showed a nostalgic expression.

"Mr. Bai Shi, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"I also want to see Mr. Bai Shi again."

"I have yet to repay his kindness."

"It's just... I can't do anything about it now..."

Millicent reached out and squeezed her shoulder hard.

The traces of corruption on the broken arm still hurt slightly.

The golden needle only suppressed the scarlet corruption, but she could still clearly feel that those things were still lingering in her body.

What use is a swordsman with a broken arm?

Now, no matter what kind of enemy she encounters, it is very difficult for her.

Alexander sighed slightly in his heart when he saw Millicent like this.

For a warrior, losing the means to fight is something difficult to accept.

If he lost his fists, which he was so proud of, he would probably be devastated and his career as a fighter would end completely.

He had almost been completely shattered during the battle festival before.

It was with the help of Bai Shi and Hilbert that he managed to retain his identity as a warrior.

After using adhesive, his body was finally repaired.

But even so, a decline in strength is inevitable, and he needs more time to reach a higher level.

So Alexander could totally understand Millicent's pain.

Millicent, what a strong girl.

Fortunately, he can protect her along the way.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, Alexander quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, if we have to wade next time, Millicent, you can sit on my head."

"Here in Lienia, it's even colder if your clothes get wet."

Millicent then noticed that her emotions just now seemed to make Alexander a little embarrassed, and nodded apologetically.

"Well, thanks."

Alexander's body shook as if he was nodding.

"It's okay. We are all the same. We should help each other."
