Frilian at Elden Ring

"It's an environment that allows people to calm down."

The silver-haired girl returned to the lion hybrid ruins on the coastline to continue deducing magic.

The general direction of soul research is correct, after all, the worlds I've experienced before are closely related to the soul, interconnected in every way. While in that environment, one wouldn't notice it, but upon arriving at the boundary, inspiration strikes.

The elves have an unusually long reaction time? Anyway, she's found a possibility: repairing the soul is feasible. Now she's summoned several undead to test it on them and restored some of their souls.

very smooth.

"Unfortunately, it only works on a single target at present, which is too inefficient. Even if I were to develop large-scale magic, it wouldn't be enough for me alone."

"Therefore, the prayer-based approach proposed by Professor Seren is worth trying; everyone can use it for healing..."

Frillie wasn't in a hurry. After all, the path of magical research was extremely long, and she had a premonition that soul magic was incredibly profound. It might evolve into an unsolvable level of magic like the Seven Sages of the Demon Clan, possessing a certain degree of rule-based complexity.

Having more options increases the chances of survival in reality.

For the border region, death is nothing more than returning to the tree. What many people truly fear is an unnatural death, and now she may be able to change that.

If you include the zombies, there are still quite a few people remaining in the border area.

If, in time, the research on soul magic is successful, wouldn't it revitalize this population and bring them to life? They will be reborn, turning the ineffective population into the effective population, thus driving the world's development from the most fundamental level.

And there's another crucial point:

"Melina, I will find a way to give you a physical body. Since you have studied the soul, you should unite your soul and body."

"You don't have to think so much about me, but thank you."

"Has anyone in the border region studied this in depth? Or rather, who is the most powerful mage?"

"A mage? General Rataen of Shattered Stars should be considered one, but he's not known for his research, and his style tends to be a fusion of warrior and mage... like you. Besides him, there's the Queen of the Full Moon, whose Great Rune is said to be able to create creatures."

“I’ve got it. Perfect timing. Stoneville City guards the route to Lake Lienia, so there must be a lot of rare and valuable information in that magic academy…”

So far, the various magical elements in the border region have not disappointed Frilian; there is probably a great deal of new knowledge that she hasn't had time to discover.

She continued to delve into the soul.

The city of Moen continued its recuperation day by day, becoming increasingly lively.

The forces gradually gathered here in the eastern part of the Sobbing Peninsula and connected with Hyde Fortress through the Sacrifice Bridge, thus effectively completing their convergence.

Chapter 49 New Version: The Miracle of Sunshine Healing

Moen City Conference Room.

Kenneth arrived weary from his journey and, with Frilian as his witness, greeted Edgar with a smile; the two seemed to get along fairly well.

"Lord of the city, I sent troops here immediately upon hearing of the rebellion. Fortunately, with the help of the Faded Ones, the Sobbing Peninsula is finally seeing the dawn of peace."

"Thank you for thinking of us. I heard that the reconstruction of Water Village can begin..."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and settled the aristocratic formalities.

They then discussed specific defenses, since exploring several cave instances would require the support of Nymgford, and overwhelming the enemy with superior numbers would be the safest option.

Edgar was actually very conflicted. He hadn't decided to pledge allegiance yet, so why was he being more and more tied to the war machine?

I can't live without it.

The subordinates had many things to consider, while the boss only needed to read the magic book. At this moment, the silver-haired girl sat in the main seat, holding a thick stack of scrolls and flipping through them one by one, including a royal scroll.

It is said that Kenneth found it in Lake Yaquil and came to present it as a treasure.

This person may seem a bit flamboyant and showy, but he is actually reliable and can remember tasks. Thanks to this scroll, he can learn more magic from Seren. What is so exciting?

"Lord Frilian."

Her thoughts were interrupted by a cautious request for permission, and she looked up at Kenneth with a questioning gaze.

"To be honest, in order to replenish our fighting strength, I have gathered a group of Dragon Feast Warriors. They are following the method of the Storm King's forces back then, consuming the flesh and blood of dragons to become stronger. The side effect is that they will turn into dragons over time. Could you cure those with mild symptoms?"

Edgar nodded: "I have it here too. It's a sign that even the soul is transforming into a dragon. If it can be suppressed, it will become a powerful force."

"I am very interested in topics related to the soul."

Led by the two, Frilian arrived at the training grounds of Moen City, where she was greeted by several flying dragons. A glint of humanity flashed in their eyes, but it quickly faded.

The most severe Dragon Feast ritual can cause a person's race to be converted, and many dragons are born this way. Fortunately, some dragons will still be usable by humans, which is why the Nymgford region has this unique unit.

They are ideal and highly beneficial as aerial units or transport fleets.

If more dragons can be tamed, the army will become much stronger, which will be very useful for building high city walls.

However, the immediate priority is to treat and suppress mild cases.

“What you call a mild case is anything but mild.” Frilian looked at the group whose dragon-like features were distorted. “Power always comes at a price, and so does healing. It will be extremely painful.”

"We're ready."

The dragon-transformers' voices were extremely hoarse, and they had almost lost their minds, so they really had no other choice but to take a gamble.

Miracle Spell: Sunlight Healing, an improved version for the soul. The light shone upon the target, and the soldiers immediately clutched their heads, howling in agony. Thankfully, the dragonification traits did indeed diminish somewhat.

The soul research technology of the two worlds blossomed here, and even the side effects of the Dragon Feast were suppressed.

The sunlight from Frilian gives people a warm feeling, a sense of peace that comes from the soul, and many Dragon Eaters can't help but kneel down to pay their respects.

"Long live!"

With this power, at least the pain can be relieved and worries reduced.

The dragon meat still needs to be consumed, for survival, for fighting, and for protection. The borderlands offer equal opportunities to become stronger, but don't expect it to be easy; avoiding torture is already a blessing.

They seemed to feel a resonance of souls, and a blazing fire radiated light to protect them; this was the Lord of Cinder.

Frillie then made a new discovery:

Dragonification does indeed affect the soul, and healing reverses the process. Based on the principle of reversibility in magic, doesn't that mean it's possible to transform a person into a dragon and then back? Could this ultimately lead to the development of dragon transformation magic?

No, actually the flying dragon is incomplete; too many flaws can easily lead to a deviation in research. The ancient dragon, which represents the top level of life in the border region, is more valuable for reference.

Just as she was pondering, the surrounding soldiers shouted:

"It's soul magic that has never appeared in the borderlands before, a completely new research field."

"Your greatness is like that of the magicians who pave the way."

"The merciful Soul King!"

Such praise made Frillie's lips curl into a smile. Being recognized was what mattered; she needed to continue to delve deeper into her knowledge.

A moment later, she dissipated the healing energy, and the dragon-transformer, who had been on the verge of death and looked like a ghost, lost many of his mutated features and became lively and energetic, enough to fight several high-intensity battles.

They were naturally extremely grateful, since without this life-saving opportunity, they would have had no choice but to join the ranks of the dragons.

Kenneth suggested, "Then why not implement the Dragon Offering Ceremony a little? Also, I suggest that after you take control of Nymgford, you visit the Dragon Offering Church; you might make some unexpected discoveries."

"what?"

"It's a ritual that was spread by the ancient dragons and widely implemented under the Storm King's rule. Rebuilding that place might attract the attention of the ancient dragons."

“I’ll remember that. We’ll talk about it after we’ve dealt with Stoneville.”

"Although there are only a few ancient dragons left, it is still worthwhile to deal with them."

Melina’s voice came from Frilian’s ear: “To the average person, the number of ancient dragons is not many, but it’s not that serious. There are still some ancient dragons that have been living with ancient civilizations for a long time without ever showing themselves. There is also a group of active people living in Sky City.”

"The border region is indeed vast. I will go to the place where the ancient dragon lived sooner or later. Who wouldn't want to take a look at such a magnificent life?"

This was both a response to the witch and a demonstration to the soldiers that Lord Cinder had lofty ambitions.

That means burning trees.

For Melina, the arrival of the Faded One in Sky City symbolizes a final farewell, and she will likely never see it again. But her spirit is so strong that it could even conquer an ancient dragon. Let the blessing remain deep in her heart.

"That concludes the meeting. We should gather and depart now."

Edgar gave the order to send troops. As previously planned, he and Kenneth would protect Moen City, while the Farron Undead and the Black Knife Assassins would each accompany a squad of Peninsula soldiers to break through the cave maze.

They took the route through the central and southern regions, their main task being to clear out the areas where monsters spawned, so as to prevent them from constantly harassing the roads and causing widespread suffering.

The recordings in the central and northern regions were handled by the strongest individuals, as they were responsible for breaking through the ruins of the demi-human forest and sealing the prison, which required extremely high strength.

Frillie went there all by herself.

After all, the demi-human leader and the ancient hero Samir were not easy opponents, and having her suppress them would be both fast and effective.

After a round of troop deployments, the army set off from Moen City, even including special units such as wyverns and dragon riders. Moreover, the Weeping Peninsula and East Ningmugefu were actually undergoing deep mobilization.

The nobles also possess resources such as mountain trolls, wolf packs, and undead soldiers, but mobilizing troops takes time and inevitably causes trouble, even attracting the attention of the Blessed King.

Race against the clock.

Preparations must be completed before Greck discovers the situation and takes any major action.

The first shot will be fired at the southernmost point of the border area.
