Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 475 Hero Gargoyle

Bai Shi looked at the bewildered and thoughtful 'Meeting with Death' D in front of him and began to recall things about him.

On the border, there is a pair of very special twin brothers, namely the D brothers whom Bai Shi encountered one after another.

The inseparable twins, D, number two, serve the Golden Law together.
The elder brother died while hunting, and the younger brother died while paying homage to the emperor.

Two bodies, two consciousnesses, but only one soul.

They were never awake at the same time, and they never spoke to each other.

Such special beings were despised as outcasts on the borderlands—until the advent of the Golden Law.

Perhaps because they secretly aligned with the concept of demigods among the gods, their unique existence was considered a sacred symbol in the Golden Dynasty.

The two brothers were treated in a way that was completely different from the first half of their lives, and as a result, they chose to dedicate everything to the Golden Law.

Because of the limitation that neither can be awake at the same time, Davin's awakening at this moment inevitably means that Darion will fall silent.

Bai Shi had seen Roger by Fia's side before, but hadn't had time to learn about Darian's situation.

Roger previously stated that he did not target Dali and that Dali was absolutely safe.

Bai Shi could tell that Roger was not lying to him.

It wasn't because Bai Shi thought the other party had always been a good person; it was impossible to believe him based on that alone.

After all, even good people can turn bad, and Bai Shi only looks at the facts.

With Bai Shi's strength, he's practically a human lie detector when facing the weak.

If he wanted to, he could even glimpse into the other person's heart, and naturally he could tell that Roger was telling the truth.

Therefore, Darian was definitely not assassinated as in the original plot, and was still alive, so Bai Shi was not in a hurry.

However, judging from Davin's awakening now, even if Darian did not die as before, he is probably in a coma.

Davin held his head in his hands, squatting casually on the cold ground, burying his head deep in his chest as if trying to press it down.

He seemed to be wandering and confused.

At this moment, he should be fighting for revenge, but he is completely powerless...

Bai Shi gestured for Toret to approach gently, but the splashing of water from Toret's four hooves was the first thing to rouse Davin's thoughts.

Davin, his skin pale, looked up and realized that others had visited this deep underground place.

Upon seeing Bai Shi's face, Da Wen was immediately startled.

He wrapped the coarse cloth on the ground around himself, stood up respectfully, and bowed to Bai Shi.

Lowering his head, Davin, whose throat had been hoarse from not speaking for a long time, managed to squeeze out two sentences:
"Nice to meet you, Lord Bai Shi..."

Melina was immediately surprised to hear this person she had never met call out Bai Shi's name.

She embarked on her journey with Bai Shi, but it seemed she had never met this person before.

However, if it refers to people Bai Shi encountered on his own later, then the phrase "first meeting" would not be used.

Melina carefully observed Davin and finally felt a sense of familiarity.

If she had to say, among all the people she had met, it seemed that only that D had a similar aura to him...

Bai Shijian was also somewhat surprised to see Da Wen, whom he had never seen before, call out his name.

"You actually know me?"

Although he guessed that the two brothers must have some kind of communication method, he didn't really know the specific extent or method.

Since the other party could recognize him from his appearance, it was clearly more than just a normal connection.

Davin's voice gradually returned to normal from its hoarseness, and his speech became more and more coherent. He then began to speak:

Please allow me to send my greetings to you on behalf of my elder brother.

"Please forgive me for only now introducing us in detail. The D you met earlier is my elder brother."

“My brother’s name is Darian, and I am Davin.”

"Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can just call us D."

Although Bai Shi knew about these things, since the other party had not mentioned them before, he pretended to be surprised as if he was learning about them for the first time.

Bai Shi nodded, signaling Da Wen to continue explaining what he truly cared about: the connection between the brothers.

Davin lowered his head and slowly said:
"Our existence is special, we share the same soul, that's natural."

"No matter how far apart we are, even if we can't truly be by each other's side, we will always be inseparable twins."

“Although we brothers cannot act at the same time and each have our own consciousness, what we see through our souls will not change.”

"I know everything about him, just as he knows everything about me."

"Therefore, I came to know you through his experiences."

"In Darion's heart, you are an absolutely trustworthy, great and benevolent king."

Bai Shi nodded, realizing that the two of them could be said to have shared experiences, which made it easier to understand.

Perhaps it is because the mortal body cannot nourish the half-body like a true god, and their existence is not entirely the same.

Having learned about this situation, Bai Shi continued to ask:

"If that's the case, then you must know what happened to Darian, right?"

"What happened after that that caused Darian to disappear without a trace, and for Fia and the others to obtain the other half of the curse mark?"

"But more important than all that is whether Darian is safe and sound."

Davin gritted his teeth, his knuckles turning white with anger:
"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you."

"It's all Roger... that magician whose heart was seduced by the Deathborn."

"He colluded with that filthy Fia behind the scenes, and chose to betray my dear brother at the last moment in his search for the Death Curse."

"He took out my short sword, the one corrupted by death..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shi frowned and immediately pressed for an answer:
"Did he use the deathly aura emanating from that sword to harm Darion?"

As a twin weapon, the holy sword of the golden tree, the 'Close Twin Swords,' also has a matching short sword.

That sword was Davin's weapon, but after he met the dead prince, it was corrupted by death and eventually fell into Fia's hands for some unknown reason.

In the normal game storyline, Darian met a tragic end because he accepted this weapon.

Fia will use this as a medium to unleash a death smoke, killing him directly within the Great Blessing that forbids fighting.

The appearance of this thing again suggests that Daryan's fate remains unchanged.
To everyone's surprise, when faced with Bai Shi's question, Da Wen shook his head and continued;

“No, Roger confessed directly to his brother that the weapon had a trap on it.”

"But just when his brother completely let his guard down, Roger took out the hypnotic flask."

"Taking advantage of his brother's momentary lapse in concentration, they finally managed to drug him until he was unconscious..."

"That's why Roger, who knew where the curse mark was, took half of it first and imprisoned his brother as well."

After listening to the whole story, Bai Shi's expression immediately became very strange.

I never expected Roger, who seems like such an upright person, to resort to such petty tricks. But it must be because of past friendship; he genuinely had no intention of killing Darian, nor did he use the corroded dagger.

Since Darian is unharmed, the nature of the situation hasn't completely changed.

However, Davin didn't think so.

He could not bear the betrayal of his brother and the theft of the Death Curse Mark.

"That wretched Fia... that filthy and vile witch!"

"Not only did they scheme against my brother, but they also dared to desecrate that pathetic, dead prince, and to instill in him a rebellious law..."

"I will take my revenge on that witch!"

"But... without that blessed armor, I can't even get close to that corpse corrupted by death."

Da Vinci raised his head and spoke earnestly to Bai Shi:
"I implore you, for the sake of my brother, to help me."

"I do not ask you to do the revenge for me, I only hope to hold the power of revenge in my own hands."

In the past, merely having an audience with the dead prince caused a weapon of holy sword erosion.

The intense aura of death surrounding the dead prince's corpse was completely inaccessible to the naked body; only by wearing the Twin Armor could one approach it.

However, his brother was controlled along with his armor, and he had no chance to hand over the armor.

Going to their door like this is no different from walking into a trap.

But once he had the power to resist death, Davin believed he still had a chance to take revenge.

Bai Shi sized up Da Wen and began to consider whether he should take him along.

In terms of strength, Davin is indeed not weak.

In the past, being able to successfully see the physical body of the dead prince and escape unscathed was already a considerable achievement.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that these two brothers are quite strong among the Faded Ones in the border region.

The fact that the two brothers were able to gain a considerable position in the Golden Tree Dynasty was not only due to their special status, but also because they earned it through their strength and dedication.

Inseparable twins serve the Golden Law together, for only the Golden Law will not regard them as a curse.

They also have done quite a good job of studying the fundamentalism of the Golden Law.

Without the Death Knight, Davin would indeed be a formidable opponent against Fia's heroes.

However, against opponents like Falsanx and the Death Knight, it's really not enough.

After a brief moment of thought, Bai Shi ultimately decided to bring Da Wen along, intending to let him carry out his revenge.

As long as it is revenge, it is justified; this is the truth of the borderlands.

Although they are close twin brothers, Davin and his brother Darrian have very different personalities.

Darian was quite composed and experienced in handling matters. If Roger hadn't pulled this stunt, he probably wouldn't have been so easily fooled.

Davin, on the other hand, is more impulsive and more radical in his pursuit of revenge.

Perhaps for this reason, it is usually Darian who acts under the name 'D' when he is out in the world.

Bai Shi helped Da Wen up, then reached out and gently wiped the simple cloth draped over him.

As light emanated from his hands, the cloth seemed to come alive, wrapping itself around Davin's body.

Ultimately, the cloth, which could now be called a sacred object, was transformed into a Greek-style dress, light and easy to move in.

Davin looked at his clothes and was immediately flattered.

He clearly sensed a very warm blessing emanating from these seemingly thin garments.

While their defensive capabilities may not be outstanding, the divine power within them is even more astonishing than their twin armor when resisting the intrusion of abnormal energy.

Bai Shi then retrieved a pair of ceremonial straight swords from the void and handed them to Davin.

“Your brother is a very good person, and I have a very good impression of him.”

"So, go and get revenge, and rescue him."

Davin immediately knelt down heavily, expressing his gratitude to Bai Shi.

"Lord Bai Shi... I will never forget your kindness and your help."

"Once I have completed my revenge, I will follow you to the death to repay your kindness!"

Bai Shi smiled but didn't say anything. He simply turned his head to look at the end of the water-guiding bridge.

The group set off again, and Melina suddenly realized that the presence of one person who had been beside her had completely disappeared, without saying a word.

Melina turned to look at Lani, only to see her awkwardly look away, unwilling to meet her gaze.

Ultimately, it seems that Lani is the real culprit...
-
Not far behind Davin was the road leading to the Deeproots.

There, too, are two powerful enemies who stand in his way on the path of revenge.

Standing at the end of the water-guiding bridge, Davin's eyes immediately locked onto the heroic gargoyles on the cliff, his expression serious as he prepared for battle.

During its long history of warfare, the Golden Tree Dynasty naturally developed many advanced technologies.

For example, the two gargoyles in front are unique war units of the Golden Dynasty.

Gargoyles are not heroes, but they are called heroes because they are made up of the corpses of many heroes.

Using the remains of heroes as a base, perfumes and the resin of the golden tree as raw materials, and filling with adipocere, these 'hero gargoyles' that can be described as monsters were ultimately created.

They possessed enormous size and the strength of heroes, and were Rodel's loyal guardians.

It can even spray perfumes from its mouth, making it a true weapon of war.

The best among them can even become servants of the Black Sword, serving death and receiving the faint power of the runes of death.

The two enormous gargoyles spotted the group and flapped their wings, crashing to the ground from the cliff edge with a deafening roar, sending water splashing high into the air.

Daven gripped his ceremonial straight sword tightly, staring intently at the enemies ahead, ready to show off his skills in front of Bai Shi.

With weapons and armor, the two gargoyles, though troublesome, are no match for him individually, as long as he's careful...

However, Davin had only taken one step when he was suddenly jolted by a violent tremor.

Schiff's heavy figure sped off, sweeping past Davin, its gait so powerful it nearly knocked him off his feet.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the body of a heroic gargoyle was shattered.

The lightning spread across the water, instantly freezing the other hero, the gargoyle, in place.

Under the intense heat of lightning, the bronze double-headed sword melted into molten iron, and the amber on its body boiled and dissolved along with it, leaving the mangled body helplessly awaiting its slaughter.

Davin's pale face was tinged with a ghastly blue by the lightning, and he could clearly feel the difference in power.

If even a giant wolf under Lord Bai Shi's command possesses such power... then just how powerful is this Lord Bai Shi?

His desire to repay Bai Shi with his own strength was so insignificant.
-
Regardless of what Daven was thinking, Bai Shi nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the achievement that had popped up again before him.

Adding another achievement to your collection is always something to be happy about.
