Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 103 Goodbye Two Fingers (Two in One)

After the coronation, Bai Shi dismissed all the soldiers and asked them to return to their posts.

For now, I will continue to work in my previous position and will be reassigned after the affairs in the city are completely settled.

As the soldiers left, the space under the throne suddenly became empty.

Only lords, great and small, remained before the throne.

Bai Shi naturally knew why they were there, so he stood up and walked towards them.

The lords seemed to have communicated with each other long ago and had arranged themselves in advance according to the size of their territory, status, etc.

The first one on the list was none other than our old acquaintance Edgar.

In Nimgfu, the city of Morn is considered the largest city under Stonewell.

Although his military strength has declined due to the rebellion, Edgar is still the highest-ranking lord.

Bai Shi placed the ceremonial straight sword that shone with golden light on Edgar's shoulder, patted him lightly twice, and then replaced him with another person.

There was nothing fancy and the ceremony ended quickly.

Although the ceremony was brief, the lords had no objections.

They all came to offer their loyalty to Bai Shi, and all that was needed was for Bai Shi to accept it.

Bai Shi sat back on the throne and looked at the lords below.

Except for the city of Moren, most of the rest are small castles such as fortresses.

There are also many that are like gathering places, so it would be more appropriate to call them village chiefs rather than lords.

There were not many lords, only about twelve or thirteen in total.

These people will be the executors of the White Consciousness' will in Nimgfu in the future.

However, Bai Shi did not see Hyde among them.

Probably, just like in the game, he was driven out of the fortress by Knight Greg, so he had no idea about Bai Shi's ascension to the throne.

Never mind, I'll take a quick look later.

There are important items in his fortress.

Bai Shi waved his hand and asked the lords to retreat, leaving only Edgar.

Now, only Nefeli, Hakan, Lancelet, and Edgar were left in front of the throne.

Looking at the people in front of him, Bai Shi slowly spoke:
"I want to make Stonewell and Morn City into gathering places open to all species."

"They can trade here, rest, or join the army."

“I hope you can help manage it.”

"Do you have any ideas or suggestions?"

The four people below were all shocked.

Bai Shi explained his plan in detail.

Basically, I hope to build a harmonious place under his protection.

Not just the faded ones, and the original inhabitants.

Other races can also have a good life here.

Perhaps discrimination and conflicts will still exist, and this is destined to be an imperfect place.

After all, he didn't have the ability like Michaela to create a secluded paradise.

But life should be much better, at least everyone should have enough food to eat.

As long as we get started, things will get better and better.

After some discussion, Bai Shi's plan was officially implemented.

Lancelet was appointed as deputy consul by Bai Shi because he was the only educated person here.

Bai Shi can't stay in the city all the time, and he doesn't want to deal with government affairs every day.

The border area cannot be conquered by Stonewell alone. Bai Shi is destined to travel around to improve himself.

In this world where great power belongs to individuals, strength is the reason for being king.

So it is important to have someone who can handle affairs.

After Bai Shi's observation over the past few days, Lancelet is indeed a good candidate.

Not only does he have a natural advantage over others in terms of status, he also has certain strength and is a pretty nice person.

It was he who called on the Storm Knights to support Bai Shi.

So Bai Shi distributed the power with great confidence.

As for whether this is a bit casual and whether there will be hidden dangers in the future?
As mentioned before, this is a world where great power belongs to individuals.

Anyone with a brain would not have the thought of betrayal after seeing Bai Shi's sword.

Nepheli has always been a good person who is willing to protect the weak.

When he heard that Bai Shi was going to build a gathering place so that the Faded Ones who could not see the blessing and could not even enter the Round Table Hall could have a place to stay, he immediately agreed.

Bai Shi asked her to temporarily lead the soldiers to manage the Faded People, and those who violated the law must be punished.

In fact, considering Nepheli's ability, it is a bit of a waste of talent to let her take up this position.

But Nepheli herself said that she was only taking over the position temporarily and would leave once new staff were recruited.

She is a warrior after all, and this is not where she belongs.

Edgar sent people to spread the news on the Weeping Peninsula and rescue the Faded Ones who had landed.

The geographical location means that many faders will land there.

Morn City will also serve as a gathering place and will be piloted simultaneously with Stonewell.

As for Hakan, he refused the important position that Bai Shi offered him.

This kind of care, which was almost like charity, was not what he wanted.

So Bai Shi gave him another task.
-
"Hey, have you heard? It seems that a Faded One has defeated Greg and seized the Great Rune."

"Yes, and it seems that after he became the king of Stonewell, Stonewell was opened to all faders. Shall we go and take a look in the next two days?"

"Are you going too? Take me with you."

"Then add me in too."

……

In the round table hall, the faded ones continued to discuss.

Bai Shi's defeat of Greg and seizing the Great Rune is the hottest topic these days.

Baizhi was still sitting at the table, but this time he was not studying.

There were no books in front of him, but several parchment scrolls containing information.

Baizhi repeatedly read the reports from Eun-ha and other subordinates.

He has been studying these reports these past two days and has no mood to read books.

After repeating it over and over again, I can now memorize these reports word for word.

He had previously taught his subordinates the magic of recording, but the few people who dared to step forward to record this time all died in inexplicable ways.

Baizhi was a little annoyed.

But they don't have the most crucial information. These guys are really unreliable.

In the end, there were only recorded reports and a live record of witnessing the collapse of the gas column from a distance, and it was not even clear what the enemy was.

The report submitted was also unclear:
Greg fell into the ground, and then crawled out from the ground. His body had turned into a huge monster, far larger than a troll.

The monster's body was as huge as a mountain, pitch black and covered with pus.

It was skinny as a stick, but its face was huge and upside down, looking like an octopus.

Is there really such a thing on the border?
In the end, it seems that Bai Shi used a powerful move to completely destroy Greg, and the subsequent personnel couldn't even find the monster's residue...

If there weren't several reports confirming each other, Baizhi would have suspected whether this was written by someone who had eaten poisonous mushrooms.

However, the only clear and intuitive on-site record forced him to take this incident extremely seriously.

Because the column of air that penetrated the sky and the earth was too shocking.

It even made Baizhi doubt whether it was a move that could be used by humans.

And that monster.

Whether it is the strange appearance or the ability to easily kill people, this is worth noting. Baizhi has a very long history and is very active in intelligence.

But he had never heard of such moves and such monsters.

Baizhi studied it over and over again, but still couldn't find the answer.

This is related to his judgment of Bai Shi's strength, and also determines his attitude towards Bai Shi in the future.

If Bai Shi really...

Just then, there was a loud cheer from the round table hall.

Baizhi could hear it clearly in the soundproofed study room, so you can imagine how noisy it was outside.

Baizhi frowned, what a bunch of useless faded people.

It's outrageous that they can get so restless over a tiny little thing.

Soon, Baizhi's spies at the round table reported what happened outside.

The protagonist of the topic among the Faded Ones, Bai Shi, has now arrived at the Round Table Hall.

And he was summoned by Two Fingers again.
-
Bai Shishen was still wearing the same gorgeous clothes he wore when he ascended the throne.

He wore golden ornaments that symbolized royal power.

I have to say, this outfit is really handsome and I like it very much.

Bai Shi came here this time to find Shuangzhi to fulfill his promise.

He did indeed defeat Greg and obtain the Great Rune.

Then we have to use two fingers to express it again.

Behind him, several young Faded Ones helped him hold the Lost Knight's armor and the slightly damaged swords.

Roderica was also brought over by Bai Shi, and she held the scepter with both hands for Bai Shi.

She herself wanted to stay in Stoneville and was not very willing to go out.

But Bai Shi wanted to bring her to see the blacksmith Xiu Gu.

It just so happens that my armor and weapons need major repairs.

If I could obtain the inheritance of the spirit trainer like in the game, it would be of great help to Bai Shi.

However, Bai Shi was also prepared to be different from the game plot and not to obtain the inheritance.

After all, the plot gap is too big, and none of Roderica's companions died.

Just like the Butterfly Effect, it’s hard to say whether it’s still possible to make a plot according to the game.

If Roderica had not obtained the inheritance, Bai Shi would have arranged a safe and easy job for her so that she could live a good life.

After Bai Shi brought everyone to the Round Table Hall, the Faded People around him quickly recognized Bai Shi.

As they shouted, more and more Faded Ones gathered around, wanting to see what kind of person had defeated Greg.

After seeing Bai Shi, all the Faded Ones were very surprised.

Because Bai Shi looks really young.

Generally speaking, these young faders are mostly rookies who are just starting out.

Except for a few extremely talented people, such as Nepheli and Roger, they have recognized strength at a young age.

The backbone of the Round Table Hall are mostly older and experienced faders.

However, Bai's youth did not make him look down upon.

The fierce aura emanating from Bai Shi made every soldier feel a chill on their backs, as if they were being stared at by a wild beast.

The noble attire demonstrates the king's majesty, and his battle record is unprecedented.

Bai Shi did not drive away the faded people who came to watch.

He came here dressed like this just to make his name known in the Round Table Hall.

With a reputation among the Faded, it would be easier for him to attract them to Stonewell and Moren City.

Soon, the secret envoy pushed through the crowd and came in front of Bai Shi.

The emissary cleared his throat and read out the will of the two fingers to everyone in a loud voice:
"Faded White Knowledge, it is not easy to follow the guidance and complete the task of seizing the Great Rune."

"The door of the finger will be open for you, come and see me."

When these words came out, the faded people around were shocked.

The door of the two fingers is closed and has never been opened.

They didn't know that Baizhi and the emissary could enter Shuangzhi's room through the secret passage.

In other words, in their eyes, Bai Shi was the first Faded One to truly meet the Two Fingers.

The two-finger door opened with a harsh creaking sound, but the faders were very excited and relieved.

Everyone's eyes turned to the room with two fingers. Through the crack of the open door, they could vaguely see the blurry two fingers.

The Faded Ones remembered the figure clearly, and then made way for the White Consciousness to pass through.

As Bai Shi entered the room, the door of Shuang Zhi's room closed again.

Roderica and others were not qualified to enter together, so they stood outside waiting.

Bai Shi had informed Nefeli in advance that she would be in charge of repairing the equipment.

Soon, Nefeli arrived and took Roderica and the others to find Xugu.
-
Bai Shi came to Shuangzhi's dim room again, feeling a little emotional.

It hasn’t been long since I last came here, but the way I came here was completely different.

At that time, he followed the secret envoy through a secret passage, but now he entered through the main gate openly.

Shuangzhi also specially sent someone to read it in front of everyone, so that everyone would know that He had summoned Bai Shi.

By the way, Bai Shi also showed off his skills.

Recalling the admiring and shocked looks of the group of Faded Ones just now, Bai Shi finally understood why so many people like to show off.

Granny Enya waved to Bai Shi to come over.

Bai Shi walked up to Granny Enya and Shuangzhi.

Granny Enya smiled and said to Bai Shi:
"Master Two-Fingers is very pleased with you."

"It's not just about conquering Greg and taking over the Great Rune."

"Your idea of establishing a gathering place for the Faded in Stonevale is also a good one."

"Today, Lord Shuangzhi specially arranged for someone to announce your summons in the Round Table Hall."

Two-finger wiggle also moves two fingers together.

Bai Shi nodded and pointed his finger at him as expected.

Enya was present when this matter was discussed, so Double Finger would naturally know.

Two Fingers hopes the Faders will take action.

It would naturally be better if there were faded ones who could be mobilized outside the round table hall.

"Fulfilling the mission."

"I am able to achieve my current achievements thanks to the previous support from Master Shuangzhi."

"Of course, the most important thing is the guidance of Master Two-Fingers."

Shuangzhi was very satisfied with Bai Shi's attitude and shook his fingers slightly.

Granny Enya turned to Bai Shi and began to translate:

"Master Finger said:"

“We will not be stingy with our contributions.”

"Since you have completed your mission and become the Faded One who captured the first Great Rune, we have prepared a generous reward."

Bai Shi licked his lips. The last donation made him a lot of money.

I wonder what the reward will be this time.

Soon, the emissary presented the tray.

There was a holy grail, a holy grail bottle, and runes of different sizes.

But the most eye-catching thing is the rune arcs, of which there are many.
