Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 342: The Sun King's Favor Will Never Be Repaid

When Lao Hu and Alexander came back again, he quickly gave his answer:
"Dear Lord Baishi, on behalf of all the pots in the village, I accept your assistance."

"Thank you for reaching out to those of us who are facing hardship."

"This kindness cannot be repaid. Anything suitable for us to do can be given to us."

"All of us pots must keep this kindness in mind."

Bai Shi nodded and laughed.

"Don't worry, we'll give it to you when there's a suitable job."

"If every race can unite and play to their respective strengths and specialties, then the border area will become better and better."

“Our future is bright.”

Another matter was settled, and Bai Shi felt very happy.

He came to the border area to make it a better place.

Therefore, Bai Shi will try his best to prevent the tragedies in the game from happening again, to prevent the good guys from dying tragically, and to ensure that the bad guys are punished.

Because he didn't like this ending.

Even if he became the King of Elden, what would be the point of facing a devastated borderland alone?

The people who accompany him on the road to becoming a king are the most precious.

There are already quite a few characters whose fate of death has been changed by White Consciousness, and the situation of these races has also improved.

The tragedy of the bloodbath in Baijin Village and the massacre in Hu Village have been changed.

Other races also live in harmony, and everything is on the right track.

As long as he gets rid of all the enemies, whether open or covert, the border area will be completely peaceful.

Bai Shi looked at Lao Hu and continued:
"Next, you guys just pack up your things."

"I will have the army come over to escort you in case there are any accidents on the road."

Lao Hu was even more surprised.

I didn't expect that pick-up and drop-off were included. This treatment is a bit too good.

If Alexander had not guaranteed them, he would probably have thought that they were being taken away directly by the army.

Bai Shi thought of another question and asked:

"Do you have any other locations or connections with other Hu villages?"

"You guys are still doing pretty well here. The pots in other places are probably having a worse time."

The old pot quickly replied:
"Hu usually doesn't remember the villages of other compatriots, and usually doesn't communicate with them."

"Because if there are obvious records and connections, once one of the villages is attacked by poachers, the other villages will also suffer."

"However, there will still be one or two Pots in each village who remember the locations of other Pot villages in their minds."

"This is also to prevent the surviving pots from being left with nowhere to return to after the village is discovered."

"I will lead the way from now on and communicate with other villages as a representative."

"only……"

Lao Hu paused and continued:

"It's hard to say how many of the villages I remember are left."

"Although I don't want to think about it, it is very likely, and it really makes me sad."

Bai Shi also nodded helplessly.

The Living Pots are very peculiar creatures that gain life from rituals.

But they have special uses, which makes many people with ulterior motives target them.

Once the settlements of Hu were discovered, they were often destroyed.

Bai Shi grasped Lao Hu's huge hand.

"Then please."

"Someone will be responsible for contacting you when the time comes."

"everything will get better."

This can be considered as completely solving the problem of the pots.

The matter was settled, and the few people had no reason to stay any longer.

Lao Hu went to arrange for the other Hus to pack up their things. After saying goodbye to Lao Hu, Bai Shi and the others were now temporarily free.

Alexander went there in accordance with the agreement between him and Antigonus the Younger to share with him the heroic stories along the way.

This would naturally take some time, but Bai Shi didn't care.

Since he didn't intend to interfere with their creation of memories, Bai Shi and Millicent casually wandered around Hu Village.

Millicent squatted down among the flowers and reached out to touch the proudly blooming flowers.

This is a scene that cannot be seen in Gaileed.

flower……

Millicent originally hated flowers.

There are no normal flowers in Gaileed, only scarlet flowers that bloom in corruption.

Besides those flowers, there were the flowers that Millicent sometimes dreamed of herself as.

The flowers blooming from her body are gorgeous and fascinating.

But Millicent didn't like it at all. On the contrary, she hated it.

Every time she dreamed of the flower she had transformed into, Millicent had an uneasy feeling.

But the flowers here don't give her that feeling.

These are just ordinary flowers, beautiful and pretty, nothing more.

Initially, Millicent embarked on the journey to find Marenia and find out her own origins.

But what she saw and heard during the journey also made her heart feel the existence of beauty.

"What are your plans next?"

Bai Shi took the initiative to ask.

Millicent turned around, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"I want to go to the Holy Tree and meet Marenia, you know."

"To do this, I must first go to the Yatan Plateau."

"But in my current condition, I probably wouldn't be able to move even if I went to the Yatan Plateau."

Millicent looked a little lonely.

In a place like the border, if people without fighting ability set out on a journey, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

But Millicent is not completely helpless.

Recalling what she saw in her memory, Millicent told her the plan she had already conceived:
"In my memory, I have seen the golden prosthetic limb that Michaela made for Marlennia."

"Those prosthetic limbs made of pure gold will not grow as Marlennia grows, and must be replaced constantly."

"I think if we can find those prosthetic limbs, we should be able to find a prosthetic hand of the right size."

"Pure gold prosthetic limbs also have the effect of inhibiting corruption, which makes them even more suitable for me."

"Since Marenia and I have an inexplicable relationship, I should be able to use it."

"By that time, I should be able to hold the sword again."

"So along the way, I want to first look for places where prosthetic hands may exist."

"It's a pity that apart from the sacred tree, I have no idea where the prosthetic hand might be."

Bai Shi nodded.

"I see. I'll keep an eye out for you, too."

"I look forward to the day when you can wield the sword again."

Regarding the matter of prosthetic arms, Bai Shi had previously asked Iji and Xiu Gu, two old men with superb forging skills.

Although they can make it with their craftsmanship, it still has some major flaws.

That kind of prosthetic hand is not dexterous enough.

It might be okay to give it to someone else who was missing a limb, but not to Millicent.

Because her prosthetic hand wasn't dexterous enough, she couldn't perform the Flowing Water Sword Technique at all.

Such a prosthetic hand is of limited help to Millicent, or even almost of no help.

The prosthetic hand that Michaela made for Malenia was indeed special, both in terms of material and craftsmanship. This also determined that the prosthetic hand was irreplaceable.

So Bai Shi finally gave up the plan of making an ordinary prosthetic hand and prepared to help Millicent get a prosthetic hand in Sunshade City.

Millicent deserves credit for coming up with a solution on her own now.

It was just that she probably had trouble finding the location herself due to lack of information.

However, although it would be difficult for Millicent to find it by herself, Bai Shi can help her.

Anyway, there are a lot of prosthetic limbs that Marlennia replaced in Sunshade City, so you can always find one of the right size.

After receiving Bai Shi's affirmation, Millicent smiled and nodded.

"Well, I am also looking forward to the day when I can hold the sword again."

Millicent thought silently in her heart.

'When that time comes, it will become your sharp blade and repay your kindness.'

Thinking of their destination, Bai Shi continued:

"By the way, you are heading to Yatan Plateau, right?"

"Regardless of whether there is a talisman or not, the road over there by the big elevator is no longer passable."

"The Dujuan people went up to the Yatan Plateau and joined Rodel. Now there must be soldiers on high alert."

Millicent nodded. She had heard these things before when she was in Stoneville.

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. It seems there is another way."

"It is said that there is a mysterious merchant in Lienia who will take people to the Yatan Plateau via a special road as long as they are paid a sum of runes."

Bai Shi touched his chin, feeling a little curious.

That road must be referring to the ancient ruins cliff.

The ancient ruins are located at the bottom of the valley next to the Great Elevator. It is an ancient tunnel connecting the Yatan Plateau and Lienia.

However, not many people know this news, and those who know it probably won't come back again after going up, so who would charge to take people up there...

A bald head suddenly appeared in Bai Shi's mind.

Thinking back to that guy Patch, Bai Shi's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he does meet the requirements perfectly.

At that time, he and Bai Shi got the news about this road from Laya.

He knew this path, and it seemed like something he would do.

But Bai Shi didn’t quite understand, how did Patch get rid of the lava earth dragon?

Otherwise, how could he lead people from there to the Yatan Plateau?

It's impossible that he took advantage of the earth dragon's sleep to get close to it?

Shaking his head, Bai Shi stopped thinking about this matter and continued to think about Millicent's matter.

Millicent's journey is still somewhat dangerous now.

If nothing unexpected happened, when Millicent left Gallid, the 'Sage' Gwei would let the other four sisters set off together.

Because of Gwei's plan, the four sisters will embark on a pilgrimage with Millicent, and eventually become corrupt Valkyries who support the 'Goddess of Corruption'.

The other four sisters who embarked on the pilgrimage with Millicent were no pushovers either.

They also come from Marennia and are all very powerful.

'Veteran' O'Neill was also a top hero in his heyday. Although he is no longer in his heyday due to corruption, he was still beaten by the four sisters even with so many spirit soldiers.

Alexander and Millicent probably wouldn't be able to fight back if they met on the street.

It seems that we should get a prosthetic hand for Millicent as soon as possible.

If possible, Bai Shi will try his best to help and improve her strength.

In addition, it is unknown what will happen to Millicent in the end, so more attention needs to be paid.

In the game, Millicent has no direct contact with Marlenya, and her pilgrimage ends at the Holy Tree.

This time, Bai Shi will definitely not let Millicent die.

So it is inevitable that Millicent and Marenia will come into contact.

The completely unknown consequences after this contact are what Bai Shi is worried about.

But there is no other way, we can only take it one step at a time and try our best to protect Millicent's safety.

Alexander came over and stood next to the two of them.

Millicent also stood up and looked towards Bai Shi, waiting for the order to set off.

Bai Shi looked at Alexander, who was obviously in a complicated mood, and asked:
"Are you ready?"

"It can be seen that the little guy admires you very much."

"There's still plenty of time. I can chat with him for a while longer."

Alexander sighed and said to the two of them:

"Well, it's okay, let's get ready to go."

"You can't become a hero just by dreaming and listening to stories."

"It will then be up to him to create his own heroic deeds."

"And if I stay any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and stay."

"I feel the warriors in my body are urging me on, hahahaha."

Although he was smiling, Alexander was in a low mood.

"...We are all together, but it is a bit selfish for me to be the only one to return to my hometown."

“I always feel a little sorry for them.”

Bai Shi patted Alexander's body and comforted him:

"Keep working hard, take their share, and continue to be a hero in the borderland."

"Hometown is a place to be missed, a very far away place."

"From the moment they set foot out of their hometown, they were already prepared."

"So they won't care about these things. They will just be happy that you still have a hometown to return to."
-
After everyone left, the pots in the village began to pack up and prepare to leave.

Only Antigonus the Younger was still sitting there motionlessly, looking reluctantly at the direction where Alexander and the others had left.

The old pot walked up to Antigonus and touched his lid, saying nothing and just staying there quietly.

After a while, Antigonus raised his head and asked:

"Grandpa, do we really have to go?"

"Although I know that if I want to become a warrior I have to leave my hometown, but I still can't bear to leave..."

"With this kind of thinking, am I not making any progress at all?"

Antigonus looked at everything in the village.

When we first found this place, there was nothing here, just a wasteland.

The houses here were built bit by bit from scratch by everyone.

The flowers and plants here are so beautiful because he has been taking good care of them.

Lao Hu knew that Antigonus was still too young and had too little experience.

He personally witnessed his compatriots drifting in the turbulent border area, being captured and killed at will as commodities.

Such a heaven-sent opportunity is what many creatures that have suffered from the destruction of war desire but cannot obtain.

As long as my compatriots can survive, there is nothing to care about except some material things.

What good is a good village without the pot?

Old Pot lifted Antigonus' body with both hands and placed him on top of his head.

"Antigonus, we all know that you have a heart that wants to be a warrior pot."

"This is an opportunity."

"Alexander told me that Stoneville is full of heroes from all over the world."

"There are probably more heroes there than you've ever seen in a pot."

"We will never be able to repay the kindness of the Sun King."

"If you can become a warrior pot, you will be the most likely one among us to repay the favor."

　Loyalty! (I want to watch mujica now!
