Frilian at Elden Ring

Don't forget that the deep roots lead to the royal city; it's quite a sight to behold, the giant tree roots are incredibly visually striking. Explore further and you'll find many treasures, including the most powerful staff.

[The current meta is Death Prince's Staff. While there are some other options for specific builds, I'm too lazy to even consider deck building for it.]

There's a kind of beauty in numbers; if you find it, you've graduated as a mage.

Frilian couldn't ignore this information, so she quickly and silently memorized it, knowing that a treasure existed deep within her.

good news.

Unexpectedly, a pleasant surprise appeared. Combining this with the player reviews I had heard before, I basically figured out an upgrade path: Queen's Staff, Meteor Staff, Lu Bu's Staff, and then the so-called strongest Death Prince Staff. It was very clear.

It seems she has another reason to go deep into the grassroots, and it can't be too late, otherwise getting the staff will be meaningless, since the end is almost here.

The underground river is also related to Lani's side quest; they've all ended up together, making it quite lively.

[It's a pity that most of the female characters' side quests don't end well. But you can look at it from another angle: Fia got together with her lover, didn't she? Didn't she create the Rune Repairing Rift with the Dead Prince? Congratulations!]

【Ah this】

To be honest, I'm not entirely satisfied with any of the repair methods for the Ring of Destruction. Each has its own hidden problems, and I always feel that my faction will be left with something incomplete.

Since I can't please everyone, I'll make everyone unhappy. It's decided, let's go crazy!

[In terms of resolving the issue of the unborn, Fia should have succeeded. I think the key to this side story is that it connects with the Death Prince; otherwise, she would have remained a background character forever.]

With more people involved, the key is whether you can win the revival round.

[If we're talking about the side quest most closely related to the underground river, it has to be Lani's. I practically completed it all and explored every inch of it. It even includes a powerful artifact like the bionic teardrop. No wonder it's the most comprehensive and valuable side quest.]

[Reaching straight to the end of the river, as expected, the area around the golden tree has the most key points; their location basically tells you their importance.]

...There was more information than I had imagined.

However, Florian is certain that Fia's side story is crucial.

Every key element leading to the ending is crucial and cannot be overlooked. Based on past experience, if you cannot force the "unconventional ending" to a satisfactory conclusion in the game using various mods, you will have to choose one of the various bad endings.

At least as a safety net, even if she's not satisfied, there's always hope in this world.

Of course, this is only a last resort; in reality, Frilian will definitely do everything in her power to achieve an extraordinary ending.

It can also maximize the exploitation of the world's resources; otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort if everything were destroyed?

At least two things are now certain: Fia and Lani are each involved in an important subplot. Judging from the nested nodes, the Moon Princess, who has demigod-like qualities, is probably involved in even more. We'll have to meet her then.

Leave the corridor.

Upon returning to the central hall around the round table, everyone gradually regained consciousness.

Although it was a rare celebration banquet, it was important to keep it in moderation. Soon everyone gradually regained their spirits, after all, they were all enhanced and different from ordinary people.

"Frilian, are you leaving?"

To everyone's surprise, it was Sir Hundred Wisdom who arrived. For someone who exuded an aura of never leaving his room, this was an unprecedented farewell, leaving some of his colleagues astonished.

This person, who rarely leaves his home and usually relies on various informants to relay messages, is surprisingly enthusiastic today.

"It's time for me to leave."

"Where's your next plan? Have you thought about it? Sorry, if you can't tell me, just pretend I didn't ask."

“There are still many unresolved caves in Ningmgefu, not to mention the monster hordes roaming in the wild can’t be left unattended. Let’s just clear them out.”

To be honest, Frilian prefers to explore the map little by little.

The nobles' eagerness to declare themselves kings actually shortened the exploration period, which is a pity. But they can always go back and re-explore the caves, since the key caves have been guarded and monitored by troops.

After saving and exiting this game, I'll go back to reality to deal with the demon invaders and research magic. I can come back later when I've made some progress.

Sir Hundred Wisdoms pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion. Why don't we entrust those wild monsters to the Faded Ones as commissions? They can cooperate like a guild. Don't worry, I'll handle the relevant operations and regulations."

"Sure, but why are you suddenly so interested?"

"Perhaps I am reflecting on my past passive behavior. Maybe by accepting those who have faded from the scene and giving them some opportunities to practice, we can produce more skilled people."

“I agree, or rather, I intended to push for this from the very beginning.”

"I am very pleased with your generosity. I wish you a pleasant cooperation."

Actually, many players have offered suggestions regarding the Jade Emperor, but I haven't looked at them in detail, and the truly crucial suggestions may be saved for later.

Therefore, while remaining vigilant, Frillian did not rule out establishing a mutually beneficial relationship with the leaders of the Round Table Hall. After all, the normal population had increased, and the rule of Stoneville City needed to replenish its forces, so the two sides could cooperate.

She then waved goodbye and departed via the Great Blessing amidst the farewells of many who had faded.

……

Around the blessing point in front of the Ningmgefu checkpoint.

Southern Army soldiers stationed here are busy repairing fortifications and restoring broken bricks and tiles.

"That's really bad."

Anyone who comes here will be amazed by the massive destruction caused by the siege. The ground is full of potholes, and there are several huge rocks that are too difficult to move and have to be transported by mountain demons, making it difficult to operate the main road.

In addition, there are remnants of Frilian's magic that occasionally create a dazzling gust of wind.

During the previous coronation ceremony, everyone worked overtime to clean up part of the area, making it barely passable for carriages. Now, a thorough cleaning is necessary.

According to the plans of Stoneville City, Kenneth proposed to reinforce and widen the main road, restoring and even surpassing the road system of the Storm King era, and to carry out renovations.

It is essential to ensure the rapid mobilization of internal resources in Ningmugefu.

Therefore, the soldiers also served as workers, carrying and replenishing the stone in an orderly manner. Fortunately, with the assistance of a large number of undead and alien races, the construction was actually going smoothly and relatively easily, and should be able to be completed ahead of schedule...

hum!

Suddenly, a golden light swirled around a figure that slowly emerged. The soldiers stationed around immediately became alert and took up battle formation.

The next moment, a twin-tailed girl wearing a crown and silver armor appeared. Her signature silver hair and long pointed ears were unmistakable, and no one in the entire border region would be unfamiliar with her now.

"Your Majesty, welcome back to inspect the front of the checkpoint."

They all bowed, showing not only awe but also admiration for Frilian. Little did they know that their superior had already taken immediate action and had no intention of staying within the city.

Unlike Greck, who always stays at home, this is more like a true fragmented monarch.

"Don't worry, I'm not here for a surprise inspection or anything. I'm just here to resupply before heading out."

"Is Your Majesty going to launch a cleanup operation?"

"Correct."

She has already given a notice about this matter. In any case, she will leave the scene for a while, partly to save her game and partly because exploring the cave will definitely take a lot of time.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers admired him even more. Even though they had reached the very top of the border area, he still devoted himself to the entire jurisdiction.

Although the caster may not recognize them, they have all benefited from the soul healing magic, so they are already absolute fans of the Soul King.

She represents a new blessing born in a chaotic world.

"Your Majesty, a new batch of supplies has just arrived. All kinds of basic medicines and tools are in good condition. We've reserved the more active caves for you, just waiting for Your Majesty to come and completely conquer these monsters."

The commander ordered his men to bring in supplies, allowing Frilian to choose what she needed.

There were quite a few Roja Fruits among them, so I simply fed them all to Torette. Torette had done a great job along the way and would most likely travel the world with the education of the Faded Ones.

"Everything is ready."

Actually, her special appearance was a way of giving everyone an explanation, indicating that she would be leaving for a while.

As Frilian made a gesture to take her leave, the surrounding soldiers immediately saluted and cheered. They longed for the day when the South would return to peace, and that peace would come to Nymgford and the Sobbing Peninsula. For this, they had fought for many years, and finally, a glimmer of hope was about to appear.

Amidst everyone's attention, the silver-haired girl mounted her horse, waved goodbye, and then whipped it away, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

The morning sun shines brightly on the avenue, and the road ahead is wide open.

In a sense, now that Frilian has begun her formal operation, it can be basically concluded that Stoneville City will have real control over the entire territory, integrating regional resources with an unprecedented level of organization, and its power will be immeasurable.

They longed to one day participate in the Siege of Rodell, for the third time, and for the first time to succeed.

the other side.

After nightfall, Frilian chose to spend the night at the Church of Elle.

I encountered Lani here and obtained the Summoning Bell, which can be considered one of the starting points of our story. It's also a good place to save and log off, completing the loop perfectly. However, I need to check the map first.

"The area around the Mengliu Caves needs to be thoroughly cleared. There are also some scattered caves to the west. These two areas are currently the only active caves left..."

Mark it in advance to avoid being confused about what to do when you return to the game.

In reality, Nymgefur no longer needs her to care so much; it operates as a self-contained system and can handle things for the time being. However, she prefers to collect everything.

The nobles in the city were probably both happy and worried.

The good news is that sweeping through the entire area with the power of a fragmented king is nothing to worry about; he can take care of all the monsters in no time.

The worry is that Frilian might get too carried away with her fun outside and refuse to come back. After all, His Majesty's aversion to official duties is obvious, and he has never hidden his desire to completely relinquish his responsibilities. Clearly, he doesn't like the job of a city lord.

"Melina, help me distribute all the runes I exchanged for the Memory Recollection."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl in the travel dress appeared, took off her hood, and reached out to touch her. The next moment, Rune was guided and transformed into power.

Intelligence is the first priority.

Secondly, allocate points to Faith to utilize various prayers. In addition, allocate one point to other attributes, except for Health, and distribute them evenly, always aiming to enhance the overall build towards a well-rounded character.

A moment later, Frilian felt a surge of energy flowing into her body, enough to bring about changes to her physical form.

In reality, the default form is the original body, which is best able to withstand the combined benefits of different accounts. That's why the Stargazer character needs to be upgraded again, so that there will be another trump card in case of any fierce battle.

"Alright, thank you. I'll save up some runes and then strengthen it."

"I also suggest you level up. Neighboring us, whether it's Lake Lienia or Crimson Corruption Galid, there are stronger and more dangerous monsters."

"Of course."

"Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on the suggestions made by those people in the Round Table Hall?"

Despite Melina's quiet demeanor throughout the Great Blessing Journey, she witnessed the entire event and gained some understanding. The information gathered by everyone corroborated each other, leading to a deeper understanding of the border region—better than remaining completely ignorant.

“Sir Hundred Wisdoms has concealed too much, Fia doesn’t pay attention to things outside of the mission, and the others know too little…”

"I think Enya's suggestion is more practical."

Frillie spoke frankly, revealing a personal desire to travel throughout the border region, and Melina nodded in agreement; they were of one mind. They both felt that witnessing it firsthand was the best course of action, and that the investigation couldn't be neglected.

"I have a feeling you're going to sleep for a long time, so I won't disturb you any longer. See you later."
