Frillian in the Elden Ring

After a while.

"As I said, this is what Black Knife Night looks like from my perspective."

After revealing the truth, she actually felt a sense of relief. It didn't matter even if she would become an enemy of the righteous Faded Ones. After all, in the eyes of everyone in the border area, the Moon Princess was definitely one of the people who instigated the chaos.

Unexpectedly, Fulilian did not show any disgust. Instead, she listened with great interest throughout the whole process, as if she was experiencing the pleasure of uncovering the truth.

The Soul Fire King had a heart to save the world, but he wasn't a hater of evil. He was more of a spectator of the swirling conspiracies, not holding any notions of good or evil, merely witnessing them.

"Don't you hate it?"

"I don't understand the struggles for power among the nobles and royal families, nor do I distinguish between good and evil. Furthermore, I still don't know the full story. But there is one thing I am certain of..."

"what?"

"That was a significant and glorious moment in your life. You used a brilliant strategy to shake up the entire Golden Dynasty."

"No, in fact, many people are taking advantage of this situation to fight for power and profit."

"But it was you who directly ignited the conflagration. The subsequent disaster was nothing more than the accumulation of long-standing conflicts. The demigods each caused their own destruction. This account cannot be settled, and I am not one to settle accounts. I simply think that the planning of the Night of the Black Blade is very brilliant."

Fulilian actually overlooks the events from the player's perspective. There are not so many twists and turns. The most intuitive feeling is that the various forces are competing one after another.

The border is a big stage, come if you are lucky enough.

As one of the initiators of the event, Lani certainly plays a crucial role. In short, she's made the right choice and the trip is worthwhile. As for the common people, hasn't she already taken action? Soul magic is becoming more widespread, so there's no need to dwell on the past.

"...You are indeed very special. In that case, we should be able to cooperate further."

The silver-haired girl's free and easy behavior was beyond her expectations, and even the usually calm Lani was surprised. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that both parties had the same views and positions on many issues.

Whatever.

"Your goal here is to strike down the Academy, right? Aside from harming the Full Moon Queen, nothing else matters. On the contrary, I can use my influence to help you integrate the Lake Lienia region. After all, the Blessing King's army is eyeing us, and I don't want him to sabotage us."

"So what do I need to do?"

"You team up with Blaze to find the secret treasure of the Eternal City. In order to open that path, you must defeat Latarn."

"It's finally here. I knew someone would say this to me sooner or later."

One of the reasons why Galid's journey was delayed was that Fulilian guessed that Latarn was related to some important branch lines and did not want to interrupt it directly, so she followed the clues everywhere.

Now at least we can confirm that it is closely related to the Lani branch.

The fate of the Kalia royal family is tied to the stars. So that's what's going on. I'm afraid that more than one key plan has been locked up by General Starshatter.

105

Chapter 105: The one who masters the laws of the stars.

The order of exploration should be correct.

Dealing with Gaileed needs to be postponed a bit, but the resources of Lake Lienia must be kept in hand, both in terms of the order of the side quests and the strategic perspective.

In an instant, Fulilian thought of the general route:

Focusing on the city goal of the Magic Academy is just like taking over the city of Stonewell first. The surrounding caves must be explored slowly, leaving them alone for now, and then rushing to the Gaileyd area.

Just as Melina usually suggested, some maze explorations had to be left to the army. She had more important things to do and generally couldn't get away easily.

"Don't worry, I also want to defeat Latarn and get the magic ring fragment."

"That's an expected answer. After all, the Great Rune that Mother possesses is an extra piece given by Father."

"But I am interested in the secrets of life's birth."

"why?"

"I have a friend who is in spirit form, and I wish she could have a physical body."

Feeling the witch beside her turn away, Fulilian changed the subject: "And it complements soul magic, doesn't it? Maybe it can curb the zombie transformation and even reverse it."

"Yes, if the cooperation goes well and you take over the academy, I will definitely help."

Lani took a deep look at the air beside the silver-haired girl. As a master of this kind of magic, how could she not see a spirit?

There's just no need to point it out.

She believed this acting witch was diligent and conscientious, having followed the Faded One since their time at the Chapel of the Kings. This showed their mutual understanding and bond. Furthermore, the other party was very mysterious, especially the sealed eye that posed a threat.

What’s even more shocking is that there is actually a hint of blood resonance?

To be honest, Lani found this very terrifying and her mind was in a mess, so she had to put this thought aside for the time being.

The good news is that Fulilian finally expressed her core demands. Those interests concerning the Great Rune, collecting magic and other considerations are all external things, but she must be a person who values friendship and loyalty, and she must be serious about witches.

If the Faded One kept talking about big and broad things, she would be alert instead. Now that he said directly that he wanted to find a physical body for his friend in soul form, it was much more realistic.

"As long as you don't mind me researching the secrets of life's birth, then we'll be happy to cooperate."

Lani nodded.

"Go downstairs and say hello to everyone. You'll probably be spending a lot of time with them. Besides Blaze, there's also military advisor Iggy and magic professor Selvis. They're all very unique and can be utilized when necessary. I don't ask you to be polite to them, just treat them like a king."

"I'll come back later then."

As she watched the silver-haired girl leave, she relayed a message to her subordinates, asking them to check in with Fulilian. They had noticed her brazen intrusion earlier, so they should be able to get along well.

Lani stayed where she was and stretched her body. After all, she was sitting on elevated books, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Has fate finally begun to turn? Brother Latan, even if you haven't been liberated yet, I can sense that the stars are about to break free..."

The Fire King who arrived from outside the border is the best proof.

In any case, the situation cannot be stopped.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have easily agreed to the request for cooperation, after all, she didn't know enough about the Faded Ones. But the development of the situation exceeded everyone's expectations. The storm stirred up by Fulilian was too fast. Perhaps she really should get on board.

downstairs.

The first person he met was Iggy's projection. The tall mountain goblin seemed cramped in the narrow room, but he still bowed solemnly to the silver-haired girl.

The two had communicated before, so there was no need to elaborate. A few words of greeting were enough.

Fulilian hadn't expected the other party to comment, "You have a destiny to be with Lady Rani." What did that mean? However, the two of them did intend to cooperate, so in their eyes, their interests must be aligned.

It just so happened that she was not good at magic such as astrology and prophecy. Perhaps the royal family of Kalia believed in fate.

On the next floor down is Blaze's projection.

"Long time no see, Lady Fulilian. Welcome to become Lady Rani's partner. By the way, I'm currently in the Nimgerfu area, as this is where the entrance to the Eternal City is located."

"Do you mean the well in the mist forest?"

"Yes, but surprisingly, most of them are sealed. It should be caused by gravity magic. It is difficult to promote exploration at the moment."

"Someone once told me that the seal of Latarn would also be found underground. You can continue searching. At worst, you can head to Galid."

"See you at the festival."

As soon as he finished speaking, Blaze nodded and disappeared.

He believed that he understood the Soul Fire King's style and would not let General Shattering Star, who was known as the strongest demigod, perish in such a state. He would definitely participate in the battle festival and offer a grand farewell ceremony, which would just be enough to collect the minimum required two Great Runes.

In fact, Freellian did keep in touch with the troops supporting Gallid and conveyed a lot of information. With experts constantly heading to that wasteland, it should be quite lively.

Continuing down the stairs, I saw a projection clone wearing a big hat.

Before Selvis could speak, she asked doubtfully:

"Even in projection, I can see the stiffness. Your body is really special. You must be good at making puppets, right? I've seen many similar ones."

"good eyesight."

The magic professor, who was about to say something rude, felt his heart tighten and responded subconsciously, "He is indeed a demigod who is good at magic."

"It's my honor to work with you. If you have any magical requirements, we can discuss it together."

He felt a little uneasy about Fulilian's scrutiny, so he had to change the subject: "Do you want to learn magic?"

"You're the only mage here, Lani. I know you have something good. Let's exchange."

She had always disliked things that made puppets, but for the sake of her master, she could only be rude. Perhaps it was the unconscious hostility that softened Selvis's attitude.

He demonstrated 4 types of magic:

【Kalia Circle】

【Kaliah Return】

【Pyroxene Ice Cubes】

Ice Fog

Furthermore, each one looked formidable, and they all belonged to the same line of magic known as Kalia, greatly benefiting her own research. Given this, Fulilian naturally chose to purchase them all, as she had no shortage of runes anyway. As expected, the Kalia faction was incredibly wealthy, worthy of its ancient heritage.

Seeing the silver-haired girl nod in satisfaction, Servais breathed a sigh of relief, hoping to satisfy this difficult demigod.

However, his scalp suddenly tightened because the other party's eyes suddenly became sharp and flashed with cold light.

Because Fulilian checked the third advice as usual.

As for Iggy, Blaze had already checked it and repeated verification meant that there was no problem. As for Lani, she had not found a chance to check it carefully. After all, it was a bit rude to suddenly lose focus during communication, not to mention that the other party was definitely very perceptive.

But the one in front of me is different.

As we all know, players may have different opinions on a certain character due to different preferences, and it is normal for anyone's deeds to be controversial.

But if you are hated without any controversy, it is your fault.

Right, Selvis?

The advice that caught Fulilian's eyes included "The people ahead are annoying", "If you're a brother, come and chop me up", "See how you jump around and then I'll kill you". In short, there were no good comments, and most of them were negative.

A considerable part of the reason is his sarcastic and provocative language style.

In fact, the elves are open-minded and don't bother to care. A little bit of verbal disgust is not enough to make them hostile.

But Jian Yan mentioned that Selvis's "potion plan" was definitely not a good thing. Lani should know about this kind of stuff, but there was no need to pay attention to it for the time being.

What's important is the reward items.

Fulilian guessed that the magic professor would not easily hand over magic to do business, but he gave in because of her pressure, which was equivalent to advancing the process, so as long as the degree of freedom was sufficient, it could be changed.

Can't I just kill you and take the magic power of the Scorpion Amulet?

[The mage missed it, but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of ways to increase damage, too many to count]

I only hesitate when I encounter a quest to obtain the amulet, deciding whether to kill a good character or not. I will punish anyone who speaks rudely immediately.

[I am the King of Elden, I can kill anyone I want]

【Explode Gold Coins】

[Ignore her. Just push the Lani quest normally, and she'll clear the way later.]

Being able to be hated to this extent is quite a feat; he's clearly a disgusting character. With that thought, Fulilian withdrew her gaze from the advice, believing there was no need to provoke further discussion.

Even if Selvis died in the future, she could still gain something by searching again. Besides, she had already obtained four new magics, so for their sake, she didn't care about anything else.

The silver-haired girl turned around and went upstairs leisurely.

After the figure left, the dignified magic professor's heart was beating wildly. His eyes were definitely not looking at himself, but at the hidden magic workshop, which was in the basement not far from Lani's Magician Tower. What a terrifying perception range!

Especially when she showed her hostility, she looked nonchalant, as if she was about to annihilate the enemy with a fatal blow and forget about it tomorrow.

Stay mentally healthy and don't remember disgusting enemies.

"...What a terrifying demigod. He'll be troublesome as an enemy."

Servis had to admit that Lani was generally easygoing, chatting and laughing with her subordinates, and not advocating for any kind of authority or pomp. Actually, Fulilian was similar, but with a different self-perception:

I'm a killer, and my specialty is going somewhere, killing someone, and then looting some stuff along the way.

If I dare to make any small move, the other party will definitely be happy to attack. Fortunately, I used magic in time to eliminate the disaster. It seems that I have to keep my distance from now on.

Top floor.

After straightening her posture in the chair, Lani asked, "What do you think of them?"

"A group of people who are close yet distant."

Freelian was actually evaluating the entire team. Iggy and Blaze, who seemed to be loyal backbones, could not share the lord's troubles, and they also knew that they could not provide support. At some point, everyone would be separated one by one, and everyone in the team was mentally prepared.

"Yes, this is my own path. I don't even know if I can make it to the end, let alone find someone who can accompany me..."
