Elden Ring, my witch is a talkative beautiful girl

Once you anger him, he will tear any living thing, whether it's a flying dragon or a giant beast, to pieces with his bare hands.

Gulanger's fearless fighting attitude, unafraid of pain and death, is just like his title "Beast Priest". He is a well-deserved fighting beast in this land.

Fortunately, beasts all have their own territory and sense of territory. For many years, Grunger had never left his house, living alone in the Beast Temple. After learning his lesson, the other beasts around him would not be so idle as to come to him and beat him up, which might result in human or dragon deaths.

Glanger glanced at A'tai and Melina, who had slowed to a stop, and said, "Leave here. This temple is not a place for you to set foot in."

It seems that he doesn't like communicating with outsiders.

"Hey, don't go!" Melina dismounted and greeted the other person as she saw him leave. "D recommended us here. He's been under a lot of work pressure lately and is at risk of constipation, baldness, and high blood pressure, so he asked us to take over his work."

"Amei..." Ah Tui held his forehead in his hand, speechless, "You didn't have to say that exaggerated part in the middle."

The witch's words sounded weird, as if Gulanger was a black-hearted capitalist who exploited his employees, and D was a 996 employee who was about to die from overwork. I wonder if he would vomit blood after hearing this.

"D..." Grang paused, thinking for a moment that there really was such a person. He hadn't been here for so long that he almost forgot about him. "Come in and tell them not to damage anything inside the palace."

He hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and his speech was a little sluggish.

The two followed the priest into the temple. When they stepped over the threshold, Ah Dai inadvertently felt that he was being stared at by the stone statues on both sides, as if they were living beings with intelligence.

"Illusion?" A'diduo glanced at the hideous ghost statues. They were still standing there, serving as the facade of the temple, with no signs of movement.

He shook his head, laughed at his overly sensitive nerves, quickened his pace to catch up with the beast priest, but did not see the stone statue's eyes behind him turn and then reset.

Two rows of lights lit up one after another, and the soft light illuminated the empty temple with just the right amount of light. The image of the god depicted on the altar could not be seen clearly due to its age, and one could only vaguely see that it seemed to be a woman.

"Wow, the whole temple is full of broken...antiques." Melina almost blurted out that the temple was all broken. "Will it all break if you touch it a few more times?"

Ah Tu held her curious little hand and said, "We are not here to cause trouble. Remember what Gulange said, don't touch those broken... I mean antiques."

He was almost led astray by the witch.

"I know." Melina stuck out her tongue. "I was just saying it casually. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for it if it breaks."

The atmosphere in the hall was eerie and silent. Only the sound of three people's footsteps of varying weights could be heard. But for some reason, when Melina looked at the broad back of the Beast Priest, she felt a sense of nostalgia.

"A bit like him, but that guy isn't that short and doesn't have a hunchback."

"Amei, did you say anything?"

"Nothing, just talking to myself."

Gulanger ignored the conversation between the two and walked to the front of the altar before turning around and asking, "Did you bring the token?"

"A token?" A-Tu thought for a moment and took out the container containing the dead roots from the bag. "Are you talking about this?"

Apart from the dead roots left by the Summoning Ship, D didn't give him anything else.

A dark and ominous smell flowed from the vessel. The breath of death that ordinary people could not perceive smelled like a firefly lit in the darkness to Gulang.

The Beast Priest's calm and detached demeanor vanished, and his bandaged hands trembled. "I smell it! It's the scent of death... Quick! Let me swallow it!"

Thanks to D who had been slacking off in the Round Table Hall, he had not swallowed death for a long time. Now when he smelled the scent, the hunger and thirst that had been suppressed for many days suddenly burst out exponentially.

"Swallowing it is probably just a way of describing it, right?" Melina, who held onto normal thoughts, witnessed a scene that shattered her worldview the next second. "They actually... actually ate the dead root?!"

The pure combination of "death", the root containing the essence of death was swallowed by Gulange in one gulp, as if it was a rare delicacy in the world.

Ah Tui agreed: "This way of handling it is much more exciting than I thought."

"Not enough, not enough!" Grang roared, craving for more death roots. "Give me more... more death!"

"Priest, please calm down. You're drooling all over my shield." Ah Tui used his shield to protect himself and his partner from the spitting storm. "I don't have any more dead roots at the moment, but if you want more, I can find them. It'll just take some luck, after all, you can't just run into the Calling Ship whenever you want."

"And..." Melina added, "Don't forget to pay us. You don't want us to resign like D, right? Then there'll be no one to find food for you."

Hearing that he couldn't get any more dead roots for the time being, Gulanger calmed down again. He took out a red eyeball-shaped object and a claw-shaped amulet in his left and right hands respectively. "This and this are what I used to use. Take them."

The instructions for using the props are all included, and the elegant handwriting is obviously not something that can be written by a beast priest.

The Beast Eyes are specifically used to detect the holder of the Dead Root, that is, the location of the Calling Ship, while the Claw Mark Holy Mark can increase the power of the Beast-type prayer.

Grunge continued, "Faded Ones, bring me more 'death', and I will give you...more rewards."

Ah Tui had no objection to this, but Melina took a quick look and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, we're at a huge disadvantage. This beast eye is essential for helping you work, and look at this amulet. We can't even perform a beast prayer, so what's the difference between it and waste taking up space?"

......

"No, no, I've taught you not to chew a pen like a bone. It's really a headache. You're such a slow learner. Your handwriting will definitely be terrible in the future."

......

The familiar tone was exactly the same as that of the person Grunger had trusted most in the past. He looked at Melina deeply and said, "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" Melina had originally just wanted to get a little more reward, but she hadn't expected the other party to actually give her the initiative to make requests. "That depends on what you have."

After some Melina-style bargaining, the reward obtained by exchanging a dead root and advance payment increased significantly in value.

Seeing the beast priest taking out things one after another, A'ti was a little confused. He looked like an uncle seeing his niece, and wanted to give all the good things to the younger generation.

In the end, the two successfully obtained a beast battle ash, four beast prayers, and the beast eyes and claw mark holy seal that were originally intended for them, almost emptying out everything that Gulang could give.

The Holy Seal of Claw Marks was first kept by the witch. Ah Dai's faith was too low and he could not learn to pray for the time being, so it would be useless even if he took it.

Before leaving, Melina looked back at the gray gate of the Beast Temple and waved goodbye enthusiastically.

In the shadows, the hunched beast priest could still be seen in the distance.

After some contact, a vague guess emerged in the witch's mind: "Similar yet different, could it be him? Mother's beastly shadow..."

The assassin who killed countless ministers of the Queen of Night Eyes and seized the Rune of Death, the assassin who hid in the darkness of the Golden Dynasty and was unknown to outsiders, and the shadow of Marika who disappeared since the night of conspiracy.

If the true face under the beast priest's veil is really him, then it is natural that he can devour the roots of death and collect "death".

Because before the Death Rune was stolen on the night of the conspiracy, it was under his care.

Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 77: Lani's Dark Path

On a cloudless night with stars shining, a stealthy figure quietly passed through the various mechanisms arranged in the tower, and went straight to the residence of the Dark Moon Princess on the top floor as if he were in an empty place.

On certain days of each month, in order to adapt to this substitute puppet body and regain her concentration, Lani would inevitably fall into a deep sleep and lose all sense of the outside world.

At this time of year, all the mechanisms in the Mage Tower would be activated to defend against possible enemies. However, tonight, the intruder who came to visit was a mole with ulterior motives.

"Simple, so easy, ahahaha!" Servais easily broke through the last line of defense and successfully sneaked into Lani's room as planned. "Finally... my most perfect work will be born tonight!"

Suddenly, the lights came on, and the door of the room closed instantly. Princess Dark Moon, who was sitting on the jade throne, opened her eyelids, with a hint of coldness on the corner of her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Selvis took a half step back, his eyes filled with horror, and he cried out, "How is this possible? You should be..."

"What should I do?" Lani asked coldly, "Do you think that this is the time when I'm in the deepest sleep, and you can sneak into the Mage Tower and do whatever you want with this body of mine?"

Servis retreated step by step: "Impossible, my calculations are perfect, there is no way there could be any mistakes."

The Dark Moon Princess revealed his plan in one sentence, and cold sweat soaked Selvis's back.

He couldn't figure out what went wrong with the perfect plan he had painstakingly formulated.

"What makes you think the information you've gathered is necessarily true?" Lani sneered. "Is it possible that what you saw was merely the appearance I intended for you to see? And your so-called calculations are bullshit!"

She folded her four palms across her chest and explained the reason: "The Three Sisters Magician Towers are actually divided into primary and secondary. The primary tower is the Lani Magician Tower where I am. With your knowledge, you should understand what this means, right?"

"The distinction between primary and secondary... The main mage tower has absolute control over the secondary mage tower. You deliberately concealed this fact!"

As if waking from a dream, Selvis realized that all the plot had been exposed from the beginning. "You gave me the Magician Tower as a gift, and it was all to plot against me from the beginning. I actually...actually didn't see through it!"

"If you just wanted the legendary magic, or had your eye on a lost weapon from the Kalia Treasury, your efforts would have been well worth the reward. Unfortunately..."

A cold glint flashed in Lani's beautiful eyes. The heavy pressure made Selvis unable to move. His hand, hidden in his sleeve, could no longer make the next move. "You chose a dead end with your own hands. Your disgusting hobby is truly disgusting."

Lani has always been very generous as a boss. Although she is not forgiving in her words, as long as her subordinates' requests are not too excessive, she will satisfy them and even provide additional benefits to special employees.

But Selvis should never have set his sights on her.

A fool who claims to be smart, but his greedy desires have blinded his eyes.

Since she has evil intentions and wants to make the Dark Moon Princess a puppet, don't blame her for being cruel. The Lord of Kalia who slaughtered the Azalea Knight back then was never a naive person who allowed himself to be bullied.

Now that the good show of luring people into a trap has begun, the next step is of course to close the door and beat the dog.

"I...I was wrong, Lady Lani."

Faced with the overwhelming disparity in power, Servis completely abandoned all thoughts of resistance. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "In consideration of my past contributions, please give me another chance to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions. This time... this time I will be truly loyal to you and will not dare to have any more evil thoughts."

"One more chance?" Lani gathered an icy storm between her hands. "It's too late. Just breathing the same air as a scum like you makes me sick."

"No, you definitely need me!" Selvis screamed desperately, "I'm the youngest professor in the history of the Magic Academy. I have a brighter future ahead of me. You definitely... definitely need my brain and knowledge!"

Admiring Servis's brilliant and uncontrollable exaggerated expression, Lani delivered the final blow: "Don't worry, I've sent Adura to burn down your basement. Your collection will also go with you. I won't let you get lonely on your journey back to the soul."

"My collection? No? No... No!!!"

In his last moments, Selvis finally realized how foolish he had been.

He thought he had seen the whole face of Lani and could easily turn her into his most perfect collection, but he didn't know that what he saw was just the faint light of the dark moon shining through the clouds.

Somewhere outside the Mage Tower, a sweeping servant was hacked to pieces by the heroic soldiers who had received orders. The heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the Kalia Castle, foreshadowing the fate of the traitor.

From the beginning to the end, this pathetic magician was played around by the Dark Moon Princess, like a clown puppet dancer dancing on silk strings.

After dealing with the traitors in the organization, Lani breathed a sigh of relief and felt refreshed.

Melina had called her secretly not long ago, asking for her opinion on whether she could take action, but when it comes to cleaning out traitors in the organization, it would of course be best for her to do it herself.

At the same time, he was listed on the must-kill list by the two female evil stars in the border area. The puppet-control professor's ability to attract hatred was also maxed out, so it was difficult for him to survive.

Afterward, Lani contacted her military advisor, and a massive projection of the giant blacksmith appeared in the room. "I've finished my side. Grandpa Iggy, how's your situation?"

Iggy saluted respectfully. "Blazer has been lured to the sealed prison built when Darryl was hiding. I have reinforced the outside with multiple layers of seals. He won't be able to break through the prison seal in a short time."

"Given Blaze's personality, he won't stay in there peacefully, but this is enough time to buy him some time." Lani sighed softly. "Although I feel sorry for him, he can't be involved in these last two steps to prevent any potential problems. I'll apologize to him after everything is over."

Blaze was a shadow beast created by Two Fingers and given to Rani. Even after their falling out, he remained by her side of his own accord, becoming her sworn brother and serving her as a vassal. However, there were some things he couldn't decide.

Lani didn't want to have to fight him one day, and she didn't want to see Blaze lose his will, so she took the initiative to remove him from the chessboard, hoping that he could understand her painstaking efforts.

"Also..." Iggy continued to report on the current situation, "Atai and Melina just passed by me. They should arrive at the back mountain soon. I hope you can be prepared to welcome them."

"Don't worry, I know what we're going to do next." Lani looked at the giant blacksmith, biting her lower lip. "After we leave, you should also leave here as soon as possible and find shelter. Once I get that thing, 'Two Fingers' and his assassins will definitely not sit idly by. This castle will become a battlefield swarming with death."

This was not an order issued by Lani as a princess, but an advice given to Iggy as a junior.

When she leaves Kalia Castle, this magical city will lose the spellcaster at its core, the magic circle defending against foreign enemies will automatically close due to loss of power supply, and the Heroic Knights will fall into slumber due to the loss of the last royal bloodline.

At that time, those enemies who are lurking in the dark will certainly have no scruples and will launch a large-scale attack on the fortress. Those who stay near the city will almost certainly die.

In her heart, Iggy is not only a blacksmith serving the royal family of Kalia and a military advisor who gives her advice, but also an elder who has watched her and taken care of her as she grew up. She does not want Iggy to have such a cruel fate.

Lani is already very satisfied to have someone accompany her to this moment.

But this time, Iggy didn't agree to her request.

"Lady Lani, thank you for your concern for me." The giant blacksmith shook his head slowly but firmly. "I am grateful to you and Lady Lenara for not abandoning me and appointing me as a Knight of Kalia. I have served the royal family of Kalia all my life, without interruption for many years."

He put the book down and stood up, gripping the hammer tightly. "This has been a long but fulfilling journey. Please allow me to see it through to the end and serve you until the very end. Please also hold on to your beliefs and follow your heart. I believe in Ah Ti. He will definitely become your hero."

Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 78: The Journey of Three

"I'm so tired, so exhausted..." Melina climbed the stairs again and pushed open the door of Lani's bedroom. She was panting with exhaustion again. "Blue-skinned woman, have you never thought of installing an elevator in this tower that can go up from the ground floor?"

Endurance really isn't the witch's strong point.

"Amei, actually I think it's okay. Climbing stairs can also exercise the body...Okay, I won't say anything more. Don't look at me like that. It's scary." Meeting Melina's resentful gaze, Adie decisively stopped his straight man speech.

"Nagging girl, if you want to complain, go somewhere else. Don't keep nagging me here." Lani yawned. "You haven't forgotten why you came to me, have you?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten." Melina glared at her fiercely. "Hurry up and finish what needs to be done. We are not like a certain young lady who spends her days eating and sleeping. She is so idle that she is almost as fat as a pig."

Lani chuckled and retorted, "Oh, I think you're jealous of this perfect body. After all, my figure is nothing but a piece of shit, not much more convex than a steel plate. How can anyone like it?"

"Who would care about those two piles of fake fat on you?!" Melina frowned. "This beautiful girl has the most perfect figure in the land, and it's absolutely the real deal!"

"The more you refute, the more you prove you're guilty." Lani rested her chin on her hand. "You're like a poor kitten whose tail has been stepped on. Just admit your incompetence."

"I don't!"

"You have!"

"I don't!"

"You have!"

The conversation between the two girls quickly turned into a meaningless repetitive quarrel. In order to drown out the other's shouting, both sides raised their voices again and again, and seemed to be rolling up their sleeves and preparing for a big fight.

"You two, stop it!"
