Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 341 Hu Village
Bai Shi looked at the crooked braids and almost laughed out of anger at his own way of doing it.

Why does it seem to be worse than the last time?
Indeed, one cannot expect someone who is only tying his braids for the second time to do it.

Bai Shi remained silent and had to quietly untie the horrible ponytail and tie it again.

Although the binding was average this time, it was finally presentable.

Bai Shi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he had tied his hair into a ponytail that was barely presentable.

Almost no other girls wear braids.

Irena, the only one besides Millicent who could braid her hair, could do it herself, so Bai Shi had no chance to practice at all.

"All right."

"This should be about the same as before."

Millicent reached out and touched her tied-up hair, smiling slightly with her back to Bai Shi.

It was a clumsy trick...but she was very happy.

Bai Shi saw that Millicent didn't look back and kept fiddling with her hair, so he thought she was dissatisfied with the result.

Now it was Bai Shi's turn not to dare to continue the topic of hair and quickly looked at Alexander again.

"Alexander, I'm here to complete what we agreed to do last time."

"I want to go to your hometown, Hu Village, and ask them if they are willing to go to Stonewell."

"As long as you are willing to go, I guarantee that no poacher will be able to harm the pots again."

"Racial relations in Stoneville are harmonious, and there is no need to worry about the Pots being bullied there."

There are many residents of races other than humans in Stonewell.

Be it mountain goblins, hybrids, or subhumans, they all coexist peacefully with each other, so having one more living pot doesn't matter at all.

It would be great if the Hu villages could be connected.

Of course Alexander agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Haha, thank you so much."

He has been wandering outside all the time, and there is no warrior Hu in Hu Village who can protect other compatriots.

In other words, the location of their Hu Village is hidden, otherwise Alexander would not have been so reassured before setting off.

Bai Shi nodded and continued to say to Alexander:

"Okay, let's set off now."

However, Bai Shi saw that Alexander was hesitant and did not move or respond for a long time.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Alexander raised his arm awkwardly and touched the lid on his head.

Before he could speak, Millicent answered for him:

"Because... Alexander forgot the way back to his hometown."

"We were planning to go to his hometown to take a look just now."

“I ended up getting lost here.”

After saying that, Millicent couldn't help but glance at Alexander.

After hearing what Millicent said, Bai Shi's mouth twitched.

Although I knew that Alexander’s problem of being lost was quite serious, I didn’t expect that he couldn’t even find the location of Hu Village.

In the game, I finally found the cliff next to Hu Village, but I got stuck again...

When you think about it this way, being stuck repeatedly is pretty abstract.

Which one is weirder, getting lost repeatedly or getting stuck multiple times?

Bai Shi shook his head and said:
"It's okay, I'll take you there."

"I've found the location there before anyway."

After saying that, Bai Shi directly used the storm to lift up the two of them.

Floating in the air, Alexander looked very panicked.

He waved his hands and feet constantly, trying to regain his balance.

Unfortunately, his reckless waving caused him to roll back and forth, and he was unable to keep his body steady.

If the lid wasn't secure enough, the contents would probably leak out.

As a warrior pot - no, no matter what kind of pot it is, I have no experience of flying.

It's a little too dangerous for the Pots to be in the air.

Their bodies are completely unable to withstand the damage of falling from a height.

If the height is lower, it is barely acceptable, but if the height is higher, it is no different from suicide.

Millicent was much calmer and more composed at this moment.

Her nimble and flexible body allowed her to find the trick quickly, and she was able to control her body steadily, enjoying this special experience with curiosity.

Bai Shi helped Alexander find a suitable posture, and then took the two of them and rushed towards Hu Village at a rapid speed.
-
Alexander lay down on the grass, feeling his contents still churning.

"Ugh, now it's my turn to be dizzy."

"Millicent, I can kind of feel what you just felt."

After flying at high speed, they soon arrived at the edge of the cliff where the Hu Village was hidden.

Millicent and Bai Shi stood beside Alexander and smiled at each other.

Ignoring Alexander who was resting, the two stood on the edge of the cliff and cast their eyes towards Hu Village below.

On a platform protruding from the edge of the cliff, a small village stands quietly.

Various flowers and plants that can be used as props are growing vigorously under the care of the pots, making this place look like a sea of flowers.

However, most of the pots are not outside, only a few are outside the house looking into the distance.

Looking at Hucun, Millicent couldn't help but sigh:
"This doesn't look like a place that would appear on the border."

In order to prevent the invasion of poachers, the villages are often built in extremely hidden places.

Among the many teapot villages, the one in Alexander’s hometown can be said to be extremely hidden.

As such, the Pots living here are much more comfortable than those in other places, and they can even plant flowers and plants in their spare time.

After a while, Alexander stood up and regained his energy.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Alexander looked down at his hometown which he had been away from for a long time and sighed deeply.

“Oh—my hometown.”

"I haven't been back for a long time, but I have never forgotten it. However..."

"I didn't expect that after returning here, I suddenly felt a little scared."

Alexander looked at the peaceful and tranquil Kettle Village below and felt a little emotional.

In a sense, he also abandoned his duty to protect the village and pursued his own dreams.

Even though none of his compatriots blamed him for this and encouraged him to pursue his dreams, he still felt uneasy at times.

Alexander had thought before about how terrible it would be if poachers came along while he was away.

Without Warrior Pot, the defense of Hu Village would be completely useless.

But fortunately, I don’t have to worry about my hometown being invaded anymore.

After calculating the distance, Alexander was the first to jump off the cliff.

Although Hu Village is still quite high from the cliff, the distance is not short.

But for Alexander, this height is still within an acceptable range and will not cause him to get hurt.

"boom--"

Alexander's body smashed into the ground, creating a deep pit in the soft earth.

"Hahaha, I'm back!"

The heavy sound of the falling body startled all the pots in the village. They came out of their rooms and looked at Alexander who had landed in the middle of the village.

After seeing who was coming, the living pots immediately let out a cry of surprise.

"It's Alexander!"

"It turns out that Alexander is back!"

"Haha, he actually came back like this, this is really his style."

Among them, a little pot was the first to spread out its short legs and run towards Alexander.

"Uncle Alexander!"

While shouting Alexander's name, Xiaohu hit him with a "bang".

Alexander laughed, pulled himself out of the pit, and reached out to touch the lid of the small pot.

"Antigonus, you have grown up a lot."

The little pot named Antigonus took Alexander's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Well, I've been exercising!"

"Uncle Alexander, you're back. Does that mean you've become a hero?!"

Antigonus looked at Alexander with great excitement.

When he left the village, Uncle Alexander said he would not come back.

He said that hometown is a place to be missed, a very distant place, while heroes are all alone and will never come back here.

Ordinary warriors often serve as bodyguards and guards.

But among the many warrior pots, there is an outlier:
He has a high morale, is eager to fight, and is eager to become a hero as a pot.

Carrying the wishes of the warriors in his body, he threw himself into various battles and embarked on the road of becoming a hero.

This strange pot is Alexander.

And he is also the idol that Antigonus has always been.

A long time ago, he secretly vowed to embark on the same heroic path as his uncle Alexander.

He wanted to be a hero and change the way people viewed pots.

Alexander listened to Antigonus's questions in silence.

Did he become a hero?
Maybe, but maybe not.

If he had to say it himself, Alexander doesn't think he is a hero yet.

Now Alexander is still not satisfied and thinks he is not good enough to be this child's idol.

Although it was a bit sad to shatter the child's beautiful imagination and admit to him that he was not a hero yet.

But cheating for vanity's sake is not what a hero does.

But before he opened his mouth, Bai Shi's voice suddenly came:
"Yes, your Uncle Alexander is a true hero."

"In the battle with the authentic mythical hero: General Latan, Alexander fought bravely, and the glory of the battle festival also belonged to him."

Bai Shi pulled Millicent and slowly floated down from the cliff.

The other pots became panicked when they saw the foreign humans.

This is a place that absolutely cannot be known by humans. Once the news gets out, poachers will come knocking.

However, after realizing that these two people were Alexander's friends, the living pots calmed down a little, but they were still talking about it.

Antigonus listened to Bai Shi's words, completely unaware of what the appearance of humans represented.

He just held Alexander's hand in adoration.

Although he didn't know who Bai Shi was, he also didn't know what the words he said meant.

But he could understand that this was all about Uncle Alexander's bravery and strength.

Alexander's body shook and he couldn't help feeling a warmth in his heart.

He was just a useless pot, and it was cracked like that during the battle festival...

Since Bai Shi has already said so, let's leave a heroic impression on the child.

If there is still a little Hu who wants to be the next Alexander, then he will definitely try his best to do his best and become a role model.

Alexander stood up proudly and touched Antigonus's small lid.

"The hero's road has no end."

"I still have to continue on this path, so I will have to leave after a while."

"Well, I have some things to do this time."

"When I'm done, I'll tell you about my wonderful experience along the way."

Antigonus was very disappointed to hear that his uncle Alexander would leave.

However, after listening to the heroic stories, his mood was not so bad anymore, and he was rather looking forward to it.

"Ok!"

"I will work hard to catch up with my uncle!"
-
Although they still have distrust towards humans, with Alexander as a guarantor, the Pots in the Pot Village have accepted them.

Alexander's friends must not be bad people.

If they were bad guys, Alexander would have knocked them down first.

Alexander walked towards one of the houses, greeting his compatriots whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

There is no ruler in Hu Village, but there needs to be a Hu who can make decisions.

Therefore, matters concerning the entire village are handled by experienced old potters.

Alexander took Bai Shi and Millicent to find the most respected Old Hu in Hu Village.

It was a huge old pot, several times bigger than Alexander.
But compared with Alexander, the warrior pot, his pot body looks much thinner and fragile.

Bai Shi didn't waste any time in being polite and quickly told him his purpose.

After hearing Bai Shi's words, Lao Hu was skeptical and kept thinking.

Although Bai Shi said it was beautiful, it didn't seem to have any harm to them...

But it seems that this is the strange thing.

Obviously they had no way to repay him.

Sitting in the village, suddenly you have a backer? That's an exaggeration.

Old pots that have witnessed poachers killing people know that their pots themselves are valuable commodities to humans.

This also made him wonder if Alexander was deceived by Bai Shi?

Lao Hu thought for a while, and without caring about being rude, he pulled Alexander aside.

"Alexander, have you been deceived?"

"I don't mean to slander your friend, but... these conditions are a little unbelievable for us."

"You should know it later if you think about it carefully."

Alexander folded his arms over his chest before he suddenly realized what was going on.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this matter does not seem to have any benefit for Bai Shi.

But Alexander knew that Bai Shi was not that kind of person.

He has lofty ideals, far beyond any hero.

After figuring out what Lao Hu was worried about, Alexander patted Lao Hu's body in a disrespectful manner.

"Haha, I was wondering why you didn't agree to such a good offer right away. It turns out you were worried about this."

"It's okay. I, Alexander, guarantee that Bai Shi is an absolutely trustworthy person."

"On the border, there are always people fighting for a better tomorrow."

　After finishing the coding, I started to prepare for the review. I will take a final exam tomorrow~
