Frillian in the Elden Ring

"Once you have cleared a large area, I will go and clean it up. I will also give Ionia some time to recover. The rest of the time, I will mainly be in the lab."

She announced her long-term itinerary without hesitation.

Let the underground world be explored by Lani's team first. It won't be completed in a short time, so we have to take it slowly. Don't worry about key progress being preempted, because you will eventually encounter difficult problems that you can't overcome, so you can put it aside for now. Then there is one key point left:

Galide.

In order to prevent the Goddess of Corruption from making secret moves, it is best to clean up the potential pawns, such as completely eradicating the corrupt creatures.

Melina also expressed her consideration:

"Let the Southern Army and the Red Lions work together to test their effectiveness. Can they fight together in the future? Are they tired after losing Latarn? Have they maintained their level or become stronger? This requires combat to test."

Of course, Fleury, who was quick to accept advice, chose the more serious cleaning plan.

Fortunately, she doesn't need to do it herself, just check occasionally, after all, the focus will be on reality later.

"As ordered."

"You can discuss the details."

After giving the instructions, the silver-haired girl carefully checked every experimental record, material and instrument, catching up on all the information she had missed during this period, almost reading ten lines at a glance.

The subordinates efficiently discussed and worked out a basic plan. The local boss Jerlian provided the basic information, while Edgar and Mugram both planned to participate. It was obvious that His Majesty's intention was to let the army run in. Everyone needed to use corrupted creatures to train the large army to cooperate.

Although the three southern regions are in high spirits, they have not actually fought together yet. It will be too late to train them on the real battlefield.

Problems cannot be exposed unless they fight together, and the three commanders are well aware of this.

At the same time, Hyde excitedly announced the new progress: "With the support of the resources of the Great Dragon Feast Church, the Dragon Feast Legion can provide more combat power."

"During this period, I have recalled more Kalia Knights..."

"Mugram, they haven't fought in a long time."

"Wrong. The Knights of Kalia are always as sharp as a knife. Thanks to your Majesty's open battle with Her Highness Lani in the Battle of the Four Gods, these powerful warriors are happy to join us."

Edgar patted Hyde's shoulder, who was still trying to argue, and said there was no need to rush for kills in advance, and to let strength speak for itself.

Jie Lian, who was standing next to him, listened to the whole thing without making any unnecessary arrangements. Compared to the previous two, the Red Lion Army was much smaller in size now, but their activeness made people feel at ease.

It's better to compete.

There should be appropriate competition within an army to maintain morale.

He was pleased by the energy of his colleagues. The areas that were blessed by the Soul Fire King first were very lucky and prosperous.

Looking forward to future collaborations.

The three battle-hardened commanders quickly devised a general plan and shared it with Fulilian, who then returned from her research. His Majesty did not welcome written reports unless they came from a magic book, so simply giving them a verbal report was more effective.

"I approve. The Southern Army will lead the expedition to Gallid to clean up the corruption. But remember to take turns to rest. After all, we just finished the Battle of Dune."

Edgar replied: "Don't worry, we will mobilize some of the second-line troops to supplement them."

"It's good to let them exercise, that's all."

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry about the elevator blockage."

Mugram took the initiative to apologize, "You have collected two talismans, but you can't go to Yatan Plateau. It's all my fault."

"There's no need to punish a victorious general. You did the right thing. It's far from the time to go to war with the King of Blessing."

"why?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier? I don't know enough about the Borderlands. For example, the intelligence sharing you heard in the letter, the news about the Shadowlands. I won't take the position of King of Elden until I have thoroughly investigated it."

Fulilian has seen many similar experiences of being cheated, such as when she inexplicably became fuel.

Although I don't mind continuing the world, I always feel cheated.

Moreover, the constant hunting and becoming of ancient gods in Yharnam is also frightening, and none of them had a good ending.

So she became increasingly wary.

Fulilian spoke frankly to her confidants: "Not being able to reach the Yatan Plateau for the time being has been a great help to me. Otherwise, if I had attacked too early, wouldn't I have been coerced into the throne and become a confused king? Would I have been exiled like Gefulei? Or disappeared like Radagon?"

From the beginning to the end, she was more interested in the Ring than the throne.

175

Chapter 175 is ready to return.

Since Fulilian made no secret of her vigilance against the conspiracy in the royal city, the plan to go to Yatan Plateau should indeed be postponed.

Everyone looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement. They became even more vigilant after learning about the existence of the underground world and the Shadow Land. Therefore, His Majesty was right to be cautious.

Don't make the same mistake again.

The one who sits on the throne should be able to exercise power, rather than exile, disappearance or other such consequences.

Everyone supports the Soulfire Queen in the hope of future rewards, but that presupposes she maintains complete control of the situation. Otherwise, wouldn't they easily end up like Ge Fulei's subordinates, stripped of their blessings?

Therefore, the top leaders of the southern faction fully agreed.

"That's the military deal. So, according to your estimates, how long will it take for Gallide to resume production?"

Jie Lian replied: "We can actually produce equipment now, but we need to open up the links and streamline the processes. It will take at least three years to complete mass production."

"I understand. Let's arrange it according to the three-year plan."

"As ordered."

"If we assume the worst, I'm afraid the Underworld and the Shadow Land will need large-scale armies in the future. The numbers we have now are definitely insufficient, so Edgar, Mugram, you should pay attention. Do you have enough resources to continue expanding?"

The two immediately said that there was no problem. In fact, the potential of Nimgefu and Lienya has not yet been tapped.

The current situation is that not only have we freed ourselves from the shackles of zombiehood, but we have also welcomed blessings again. The production potential is no less than that of the golden dynasty at its peak, and everyone is confident in rebuilding a new system.

Their army will be stronger.

Furthermore, the shadow beasts' attack on Kalia Castle has been weakened, which means that some of the resources can be fed back to the Lienia army. With Lani's ability, it is not difficult to raise the Lake Land army to a higher level.

The city of Stonewell has absorbed the technology of the Great Dragon Feast Church and is constantly being strengthened under the leadership of Hyde, and powerful troops will also appear.

What's more, Frillian has collected a large number of different ashes and is being adjusted by Roderica.

If you think about it carefully, what you lack is not military strength but development time...

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you. Just develop the army step by step. I want to spend more energy on magic."

"clear."

It's already good enough to be able to control His Majesty for such a long time in the laboratory to discuss government affairs.

She really doesn't need to do the rest herself. With the current control over the three places after integration, a few random people cannot affect the strategic layout, so Edgar, Mugram and Jielian can summarize the plan with peace of mind.

After being freed from it, Fulilian hurriedly continued to check the progress of the experiment. She had only taken a rough look just now, but now she could finally check it carefully.

"Professor, how's the force field research going?"

Tops replied confidently, "We've already deployed a portion of them. We've tested them on the Royal City Army and they're working. Now all we need to do is produce the war ash."

"Why not try it again? How about a rebound curse?"

"what?"

"Don't worry. Magic is not just about technique, it's also about imagination. You have to have faith in it. Coincidentally, I brought a sample with me."

The silver-haired girl took out a piece of ice, which contained a drop of cursed blood. Although it was frozen by layers of ice, it was still active. She was afraid that it would break through the ice and cause pollution at the next moment.

There are enough dangerous substances in the laboratory, there is even scarlet corruption here, so it’s best not to cause trouble.

When this thing came out, even Serlian, who was not a professional in the field, was interested in it.

"Disciple, this is the result of your battle with the Blood King, right? It's cursed blood, mingled with a hint of the aura of an external deity."

“So I collected it.”

"Isn't it a bit exaggerated to use this thing as a research subject? And the curse is difficult to deal with."

Topps still has concerns.

Then, Fulilian recounted the details of the Four Gods' Battle, including how she avoided bleeding to death after encountering Monger's blood mark, which meant that curses can be reversed and even fought, and there have been successful cases.

Upon hearing this, the two professors fell into deep thought, their eyes lighting up.

"It should work."

Tops said cautiously, "Anyway, I'll give it a try. Of course, its performance won't be as good as your Soul Boundary Protection, so most people won't be able to learn it."

"I don't insist on being able to rebound the curse, as long as there's a research direction."

"Ok."

In the past, he would have probably refused, but as Professor Topps gradually built up his confidence, he became more and more courageous in trying things, and decided to give it a try even when faced with such a challenging task.

The investment must be worthwhile, after all, the major laboratories of the magic academy concentrate most of the resources.

I can't let Fulilian down.

Moreover, he was happy to continue his research with a large amount of resources. Even if his force field improvement was unsuccessful, there would be other research results on the curse. In the final analysis, it was not a loss. It would be great if it could help in the front-line battles. It was simply perfect.

Topps called in a group of magicians to carefully preserve the samples, and immediately put them into experiments, starting his new work as if no one else was around.

Now that there are fewer people playing tricks on people, the magic academy has become much purer and more scholarly, and they very much welcome these strange tests.

"It seems that the Four Gods' Battle was very dangerous. You worked hard."

Se Lian sighed.

Even though she was far away in the lake area, she could still feel the terrifying aftermath of that incident.

"It doesn't matter. I gained more. Without Monger's challenge, I wouldn't even be able to verify whether soul magic can fight the curse."

Fulilian said with lingering fear: "But it was indeed thrilling."

If you were cursed in reality and failed to separate your soul, you would be in danger of death. Although there are contingency plans, if the whole thing explodes, no one will be able to escape unscathed.

"There has been new progress in the secret art of life."

"what?"

"Remember? There's a saying about Crimson Corruption called the cycle of rottenness. So we tried to combine the controllable corruption you purified with magic, and finally achieved new results—"

Se Lian led Fulilian to the classroom next door, only to see the children created by the Full Moon Queen struggling to walk with the help of crutches.

Although their behavior was clumsy, they had become more human, no longer as disabled and weird as before.

It is indeed the trace of scarlet corruption combined with healing.

Of course, there is another factor: everyone has been blessed by Fulilian's soul.

Otherwise, the general target would have been corroded along with the soul. In short, a new balance was achieved in the new organism. Not only that, there was also a trace of the technology created by the Son of Platinum, which can be called a hodgepodge experiment.

“It feels very patchwork, doesn’t it?”

"No, magic research should be integrated. This means that the academy's technology has reached another level. We can cure them."

"Indeed, thanks to the information you brought about the Platinum Sons and the research on the Scarlet Corruption, no one before you had the courage and control. Progress always belongs to those who take the lead. You have done an excellent job."

"So these technologies combined with teardrops can create a body?"

"It's hard."

After hearing Seren's decisive answer, Fulilian smiled, because the answer was not impossible. Verifying the feasibility of the technology was the most important, even the most critical.

She continued: "Same old story, the teardrop quality is too poor to support too many technological integrations."

"Are the tears on the surface a weakened version?"

"You're right. I also believe that there are more complete materials in the Eternal Dynasty, and perhaps there are mimicking creatures."

"No problem, we'll have to explore Noklongen sooner or later."

The silver-haired girl smiled faintly. "At least it proves that the Great Rune, who was never born, is familiar with reincarnation. Soul magic and tears can be organically combined. Understanding this is enough."

Isn’t it wonderful that the accumulation so far has finally reached a new height?

That's right.

Fulilian enjoyed the feeling of combining various technologies to produce new results. Her eyes swept over each vessel, which contained the crystallization of wisdom.

She gave Melina a confident look, even if it meant creating a body to accommodate a demigod.

The witch was slightly startled and nodded.
