Frilian at Elden Ring

Really?

Frillie's first reaction was suspicion, but she could still tell whether she was welcome or not.

If they were to lose contact, that would indeed make sense in many ways, such as the chaos of the Shattered War. Of course, for a creator god, all the turmoil is simply part of the evolution of time, and worrying about it is pointless.

"What does it mean to choose a divine being with two fingers?"

“We are merely following the rules established by the original supreme will, and we even serve our own masters without sharing information with each other.”

"So the rule you've chosen to follow is to guide the Faded Ones in the Round Table Hall, and when necessary, even the King of Elden, who will emerge from our ranks, will become an advisor?"

"Absolutely correct, and we will tell you everything we know without reservation. In addition, two fingers can help you convert the memories of the strong."

A bit disappointed.

It seems that at least the two fingers of the round table hall don't know much.

Frillie had originally thought she could get all the behind-the-scenes plans for the Night of the Black Knife in one go, such as why the magic ring shattered and what exactly Marika's plan was... These questions were destined to remain unanswered, because there were definitely many more people who were curious before her.

Expecting an omniscient messenger is an exaggeration; it's just unexpected that he was also kept in the dark.

Seeing the silver-haired girl's disappointed expression, Enya murmured, "Who isn't curious about the truth? But everything is always shrouded in mystery and unclear. Although I don't know who's pulling the strings behind the scenes, I know a direction."

"That is to travel all over the borderlands and collect all the fragments of the magic ring. You must step on every inch of land and your eyes must see all things."

"These are things that neither I nor Master Two Fingers could do, so we are further away from the truth and can only wait for those who come after us."

She looked at the newly faded one with complete confidence.

The other party's achievements so far are remarkable and need no further elaboration; perhaps this can dispel the fog of mystery.

Frillie still said with unease, "Double Fingers clearly said that gathering all the fragments would be enough, so why did they have to travel all over the borderlands searching for traces of a conspiracy?"

"Because this is my suggestion. I feel that Lord Finger has also been deceived to some extent, but everything leaves a trace. It is not safe to become king without knowing the whole picture. Let's just be cautious like an old man."

"you are right."

"It seems we have a lot in common. Your Majesty may appear young, but you are actually a seasoned veteran with a wealth of experience, aren't you?"

"I am considered young among the elves."

Although it is unclear what strange races exist outside the border, the new king is impeccable in both mental state and physical function, at the peak of his power.

Just as Gavriel conquered all directions in his prime, a descendant has now displayed that powerful and unparalleled spirit, and has swiftly occupied Nymgford.

Moreover, Frilian's actions were not merely about conquest, but also about repair and salvation, and she tirelessly worked for the sake of many lives, which is truly commendable.

Enya hadn't admired a young person like this in a long time, and she couldn't help but start talking:

"Logically speaking, the problem might lie in the communication with Lord Two Fingers, because there seems to be a voice that doesn't quite fit with the Supreme Will... In any case, He issued a command, vague yet irresistible, but it must exist somewhere in the borderlands. Perhaps we should find Him."

"Correct."

"We've gotten so far off without realizing it. Now, bring out your memories and let Lord Two Fingers manifest their power for you."

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired girl stepped forward.

Since it has a certain reward redemption function, it will at least not easily become an enemy. As long as it can do that, the trust level can be raised to another level.

The item [Memories of Limbs] can be activated. If used directly, it will generate 20000 Runes.

If you choose to exchange for either the weapon [Greek's King Axe] or the weapon [Leg-Breaking Wyvern], you can use a save file to hold both simultaneously, and their size will change according to the player's size.

Despite this, Frillie still looked troubled, for a simple reason: she didn't really like any of them. First of all, the axe was only so-so; there were plenty of weapons stronger than it. As for the limb-splitting dragon, it was even less worth mentioning.

It's more like a collectible.

Then, when you exit the world save, you can take it all at once.

There was nothing else she needed, so she chose not to use it for the time being, and Enya nodded as if she had expected this.

"Rest assured, most memories possess unique functions. Moreover, you may not necessarily have to kill to obtain them; generating memories is also possible if that powerful individual is willing to teach you the techniques. Frilian, you have many options with your abilities."

"Thank you. Let's leave the question of the truth here for now, and we'll discuss the rest later. By the way, how much do you know about curing Gailid's Crimson Corruption?"

"That's the blooming of the goddess of corruption..."

Enya explained some of the information she knew, since Shuangzhi had some understanding of the gods.

The Valkyrie Malenia is favored by the power of corruption and has a large following, but she rejects this power, a complex mix of conflict and strength.

The reason why the two sides suffered heavy losses is unknown, but the only certainty is that the Crimson Corruption will continue to rage.

Unfortunately, the Finger Unraveler didn't know much about the power of this deity and couldn't offer any specific advice, but she did mention something that interested Frilian: Sir Hundred Wisdom possessed the Scarlet Corruption lineage of prayer.

The leader of the Round Table Hall lived up to his name, possessing a vast array of magic and unfathomable power.

Find the right person.

As long as she possessed the relevant magic, she was confident she could decipher it. At worst, she could consult the knowledgeable and long-lived elven mages in the real world, and she should gain other insights.

"Understood, I have learned the basic information about Galid."

"If you want Marlenia's Great Rune, I advise you not to take the risk. Putting aside her superb swordsmanship, her side as a goddess of corruption is also troublesome. The next time she blooms, it will probably not benefit anyone. The enemy will be even more miserable than Rataen."

"I'm going to find Sir Hundred-Mindedness now."

We know absolutely nothing about the exact location of the Sacred Tree, and defeating the Valkyrie is still a long way off, but we won't miss anything in the spirit of collecting everything.

As for two fingers, they probably don't have much value anymore.

He had already lost his connection with the Supreme Will, and was more like a mascot symbol in the Round Table.

Seeing Frilian's enthusiastic expression, Enya didn't know what to say. After all, the strong have their own pride, and they have always won in this way. It's wrong to underestimate them.

"One last piece of advice: Sir Hundred Wisdoms knows far more than people realize, so be careful of him."

"See you."

"I'm sorry, it's a pity I can't give you more information."

"It's ok."

The silver-haired girl said frankly, "I'm also happy to find the answers."

"Let me emphasize again, don't think that simply collecting fragments of the magic ring is a way to save everything. If you don't uncover the truth, you'll just be a king surrounded by conspiracies. There must be some answers left at the border."

"Thank you."

I've heard a lot of similar cryptic talk, but I can still deduce some of it based on experience.

Simply restoring the ring might lead to a normal ending, or an ending shrouded in mystery with the truth remaining unknown, such as Marika seemingly dealing with something related to the ring-smashing incident? There's much to explore.

Granny Enya sighed as she watched Frilian leave the audience hall. She stared intently at the two fingers in front of her, which looked more listless than before.

Even though it is one of the highest-ranking divine beings, it cannot escape the traces of time, or rather, no one has made it rejuvenate its magic. But after sensing the Great Rune, it finally became more proactive.

There is hope for the future.

Although the two had been discussing the possibility of a mastermind behind the scenes, she actually only had scattered thoughts:

It is said that before Marika became a god, there was another continent at the border, but it was separated and hidden for some special reason... Even if it is true or not, she always felt that she had to figure out the past in order to know the future.

Don't speak too clearly; the fading one's understanding will notice. Don't influence Frilian with ambiguous information.

Upon entering the next room, I saw an old acquaintance standing at the door.

Neferi greeted her with a smile and patted Frilian on the shoulder.

"You've obtained the Great Rune, yet you still look so thin. You can use the rune to strengthen your physique. You could even become as strong as General Rataen of Shattered Stars. You're all battle mages."

"Then forget it."

She had seen the portraits of the demigods before. Rataen was majestic, but the sight of his massive body riding a skinny horse was indeed incongruous and somewhat inconvenient.

"By the way, I'm here to report to my godfather, so I'll take this opportunity to introduce you."

"What kind of person is Lord Ophniel?"

"He united the various factions and maintained the Round Table Hall until now when it was facing a shortage of talent. He also knows many secrets of the borderlands and has a very high level of magical skill. By the way, don't mind his indifferent and unfinished conversations when you talk to him later. He's always busy processing intelligence, and he's like that with everyone. However, if you have something of high value, you can definitely gain his appreciation..."

Halfway through the conversation, Neferpitou began to introduce Sir Hundred's various great achievements with great admiration, also mixing in a lot of personal subjectivity, believing that this elder of the Round Table was very kind.

Although Frilian felt that she was judging others by her own standards, she did gain more information and had a simple expectation, since there weren't many people who had actually seen Ophniel.

"Let's go in."

After chatting for a while, Neferi boldly pushed open the door and entered, revealing a person in full armor working at a desk.

The long, vertical opening on the helmet revealed a sharp gaze, which swept past the goddaughter and carefully examined the other person.

As fellow magicians, they immediately understood that the opponent's magical reaction was extraordinary. What's even more astonishing is that he still managed to conceal his aura at this point. Who are you trying to fool? In a real fight, Kong would probably be more experienced than anyone else, so Grek's defeat was not unjustified.

"I've heard so much about you. Congratulations on burying the Demon Sword Frilian and obtaining the Great Rune. This is an achievement that no one in the Hall of the Round Table has accomplished in thousands of years."

"In my opinion, you are strong enough to obtain two large runes."

“I’m old now and not as good as I used to be, while you’ve been active for a long time.”

The two exchanged a smile, ignoring each other's concealment. Since you're willing to hold back your strength for some reason, then keep it; the truth will eventually come out.

Neferi, who was standing next to her, didn't notice the change in atmosphere at all and began to introduce the others very decisively.

Yeah.

It's better to have a friendly person act as a go-between than for them to be scheming and plotting against each other. It's good to have more interaction when they meet for the first time. Otherwise, are we going to make the magicians play guessing games?

Frilian also shared details of the battle.

Even if one listener participates personally and another listener knows the details of the process, it does not affect their concentration.

The experiences of the individuals involved are certainly different. As Frilian said, that kind of corrosive abyss only requires a strong will, but others would have become prisoners long ago. It is hard to imagine what kind of trials she went through.

It seems that defeating Grek was a piece of cake and not challenging at all.

Admittedly, many rumors suggest he is among the weakest demigods, but he is not someone you can easily mess with; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to occupy the fragments of the magic ring for so many years—it has real value.

The new king is very strong.

"...To be honest, I've seen the Abyss Trials before. I suspect there are other external anomalies in the border area. Be careful."

After listening, Sir Hundred Wisdom nodded: "I noticed that too, just keep an eye out. On the contrary, it must have been quite difficult for you to get rid of Grek in that state, you are a genuine first-generation demigod."

"That's not the point. What I want now is information about Galid."

"Can I take that as you want Rataen's Great Rune? You're quick on your feet, as a newcomer."

"Sooner or later, I'll collect all the Great Runes."
