Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 116: Witch's Funeral (Two in One)

Bai Shi left behind the materials for forging the dragon hunting sword and spear, and returned to Stonewell with the other materials.

Also brought back were three great swords that had been repaired and strengthened, as well as the Lost Knight armor infused with dragon scales.

After returning to the city, Bai Shi immediately wrote a letter and asked Storm Eagle to take it to Blaze who was hiding in the jungle.

The letter briefly introduced the whole story, expressed his own hope, and asked if Lani had any blacksmith who could be used.

Of course, Bai Shi did not reveal the fact that he knew the blacksmith Iggy.

After sending the letter, Bai Shi sat on the throne, tapping the armrests with his fingers from time to time.

He has been out of town these two days, so I don't know whether the things he arranged have been done.

Furnace Knight Andre was summoned by Bai Shi and immediately came to report various matters.

"My Lord, the man you had the soldiers focus on earlier has entered Stonewell."

"Also, the bridge leading to the Chapel of the King has been repaired."

Stoneville is now open to all races, and you only need to register to enter.

The registration process is relatively relaxed. Basically, only your name, age and identity card are required. Once the registration is completed, you can enter Stonewell.

The one who attracts most attention is naturally the magic teacher Tops.

Bai Shi didn't send anyone to look for him directly. After all, Tops was not very famous among magicians and was even kicked out of the magic academy.

Bai Shi didn't know him before, so it would be a bit strange for him to go looking for him directly, so he just sat back and waited.

As expected, Mr. Tops, who was temporarily staying at Iris Church behind Stonewell, came when he learned that Stonewell was open.

Bai Shi thought about it and decided that since Teacher Tops had been found, Nimgefu had almost done what he was supposed to do.

The city lord Edgar and his daughter Irena have been rescued and are living a peaceful life in Moren City.

Even Roderica's companions are not dead, and they are also learning to tune spirits just like the plot.

Burke has recovered his mother's belongings and is now practicing his tailoring skills in Stonewell.

Kale was doing business in the city these days. He told Bai Shi that he wanted to save some money for the journey to find the large caravan of wandering merchants.

I have also made an appointment with the magic teacher Se Lian to become his disciple and learn magic.

Patch and Yura have also seen it.

As for Blaze's request to find the Hound Knight, since it involves the secrets that Bai Shi is interested in, he has no plans to find him soon.

There is also the white-masked Fan Lei. Bai Shi sent people to look for him, but that guy didn't know if he had received any message and never showed up again.

The combat teacher Bernal was not in his shabby house either.

This is the real world after all.

People who are supposed to be there may not necessarily appear, but people who are not supposed to be in Nimgfu may also appear.

Bai Shi is powerless to do anything about this kind of thing, he only has an understanding of the game plot, he is not omniscient and omnipotent.

It’s better to say that Bai Shi is already surprised that there are still so many side plots that are the same as the original plot.

As to why the bridge to the Chapel of the Kings was built.

Because he was going to bring back the body of the Finger Witch and bury her properly in the cemetery.

It's not good to let her stay there alone all the time.

Bai Shi has not yet gone to look for teacher Tops at his residence.

It is more important to bring back the witch's body first.

After all, we don’t know if the body will rot if too much time has passed.

Go and have a look.

Bai Shi stood up from the throne, walked through Stonewell, and came to the newly built bridge.

Bai Shi didn't call many people, he only brought Elissa and Red.

Stonewell was originally connected to the Chapel of the Kings by a bridge, but the bridge was destroyed for unknown reasons.

Given that Stonewell was in such a state of disrepair, Bai Shi did not ask anyone to completely rebuild a stone bridge, but only built a simple suspension bridge.

He would not go to the Chapel of the Kings often in the future, so it was enough for him to go there whenever he could.

Flying Furnace Knights played a big role in this project.

Long before the construction began, the storm between the two places had subsided under Bai Shi's control, and now the suspension bridge is safely built between the two places.

Bai Shi walked across the suspension bridge and arrived at the familiar Chapel of the Kings.

It is still lonely and desolate here, without a trace of life.

When Bai Shi revisited the old place, he felt very emotional.

Every time I pass by a place, I can recall the memories of being here.

I remembered the excitement when I first came to this world, and also the helplessness I felt after realizing that this was the real world.

He remembered his fear when facing the descendant of the nobles who had undergone limb-grafting, and also remembered his ecstasy when he obtained the Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow.

Bai Shi did not rush into the chapel where the witch's body was placed, but went to the second floor where he had taken the ashes of the ancient king and Tinnie.

There, Bai Shi saw the remains of the descendant of the limb-replacement nobles, which were still a pool of minced meat.

The descendant of the limb-reattached noble is the only enemy so far who has forced Bai Shi to use Wind Spirit Moon Shadow twice.

The enemy that once seemed invincible is now just a small minion that can be easily killed in Bai Shi's eyes.

After standing there in contemplation for a while, Bai Shi turned around, went downstairs and walked into the Royal Chapel.

Elissa and Red stood at the door of the chapel consciously and did not enter together.

The Chapel of the Kings was in a mess.

After the descendant of the noble who had received limb graft was knocked down from the second floor by Bai Shi, he kept struggling and resisting, smashing all the chairs and bookshelves beside him and scattering them, turning them into crushed debris on the ground.

But fortunately, the body of the Finger Witch escaped in the corner.

Bai Shi stood quietly in front of the witch's body.

Looking at the corpse that had hardly changed, Bai Shi was stunned.

Before she died, she had always hoped to become the King of Elden, and she did not even leave any information about the murderer. Seeking revenge.

Even after death, she used her hat to tell Bai Shi that this was not just a game world.

But I don't know her at all.

If we could get to the border earlier, maybe we could have saved her.

Bai Shi sighed
"I'm here to pick you up."

Bai Shi held up the witch's body with both hands and lifted her up.

Bai Shi wanted to take her body to Stonewell and then find a suitable cemetery to bury her.

Elissa and Red, who were standing outside the door waiting, were both shocked when they saw Bai Shi coming out with a corpse in his arms.

They had no idea what Bai Shi was going to do in the King's Chapel.

I just thought he wanted to reconnect it with Stonewell so that he could hold worship services here in the future.

But unexpectedly, Bai Shi actually carried out a corpse from inside.

They recognized the corpse's clothing as that of the Faded Finger Witch.

Bai Shi is a Fader, and a powerful one at that. He has never concealed his identity.

It is a consensus among everyone that a powerful Fader must possess a witch.

However, as close ministers, they had never seen a witch with white consciousness.

They had previously speculated why white-sense witches never appeared in public.

But no one had ever thought about it, and no one had ever dared to think about it, that the white-skinned witch had actually died in the Chapel of the King.

Now, the king came to take his witch.

The two did not ask any questions beyond the line, and Bai Shi had no intention of explaining to them.

Everyone walked onto the suspension bridge to Stonewell in silence.

When everyone left, the storm that never stopped over the Chapel of the Kings returned, making the suspension bridge creak, and no longer welcomed anyone. And the storm in Stonewell was completely silent for a day today.

After Bai Shi and others returned to Stonewell, they were stopped by Roderica on the road.

Roderica had studied spirit tuning for some time, so she could detect a trace of the soul's echo on the corpse from a long distance away.

"Master Bai Shi, there is still a trace of soul echoing in her body!"

Bai Shi was stunned when he heard this. He knew that a spirit trainer could communicate with souls.

But he had never heard of what the echo of the soul was.

"What is the echo of the soul?"

Roderica quickly explained to Bai Shi:

"There is often an undispersed soul left in a corpse, but if the corpse fails to transform into ashes for the soul, the soul will dissipate over time."

"And the echoes of the soul are the little bits of residue left after the soul has completely dissipated. We cannot communicate with it, so we can only try to interpret its content."

"Most of them are last wishes, and because the emotions are so strong, they can still leave traces."

Roderica offered to help Bai Shi communicate, hoping it would be helpful.

Bai Shi readily agreed.

It would be great if I could know the witch's last wish. Maybe I could find the murderer who killed her and avenge her.

At the very least, maybe I can get to know her a little better.

Roderica kept trying to communicate, but unfortunately, the echo of the soul on the witch's body was already very weak.

The trace of the soul that somehow still remained in the world did not respond to Roderica.

Perhaps the content of the echo will only be revealed when a certain opportunity arises or when one comes into contact with something.

Bai Shi gave up, after all, it was just the remnant of the soul.

pity.

Bai Shi and others walked out of the city, and Roderica followed them.

Outside the city of Stonewell, Bai Shi had already arranged a convoy.

The witch's body was placed in a mobile coffin, which contained a stone coffin specially built for her.

Bai Shi, Roderica and others were sitting in another carriage.

They were making their way to the Border Heroes Cemetery.

Bai Shi wanted to bury the witch there.

Logically, as a finger witch, she should not be qualified to be buried there.

But she was the first witch to be known.

She is the witch of the King of Stonewell.

She is the witch who will be the future King of Elden.

Bai Shi wanted to bury her there, and no one could object. No one could object.

The convoy continued to move forward in silence.

Suddenly, Roderica looked up and out of the carriage.

Something there triggered an echo in the witch's soul.

Without any time to explain, Roderica jumped off the carriage and ran there.

Bai Shi called the parking team and followed them.

Roderica picked up two pairs of flowers from the ground and handed them to Bai Shi.

They were two slightly withered dark yellow flowers.

"She wanted to give it to you."

She gave Bai Shi two fallen leaves

This was her favorite flower when she was alive.

It is everywhere at the border, and the flowers that grow from the fallen leaves of the golden tree are just like the ones that faded away.

Blessed to return to the border.

Finally, it withered here like a fallen leaf.

At this point, the resonance in her soul completely dissipated.

From beginning to end, she did not leave any information about herself.

Bai Shi doesn't even know what her name is.

Bai Shi looked at the two fallen leaves in his hand, kept one, and placed the other in the witch's coffin to accompany her.

I have a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

It's like reaching out to grab the wind, but the wind slips through your fingertips without leaving a trace.

I only now realize that blessing someone for a bright future can also be a farewell.

When she wrote that message, she might have already known her own ending, so she said goodbye calmly.
-
The convoy continued to move forward and arrived at the Border Heroes Cemetery, which was where Bai Shi first arrived at the border.

Bai Shi dragged the sarcophagus out of the car and carried it into the cemetery under the gaze of the huge statue.

Standing on the lift platform, everyone slowly descended.

At a doorway shrouded in fog, Bai Shi inserted the stone sword key into the little devil statue. The light in the statue's mouth went out and the fog was dispelled.

What appeared before my eyes was a pool of poison.

Elissa went down first and froze the thin layer of venom firmly.

Bai Shi carried the coffin and landed safely.

As we walked further in, we heard a rumbling sound coming from the cemetery.

Soon, a huge bronze mechanical statue chariot appeared in front of everyone. The chariot was shaped like a statue of a Rodel knight holding two war horses.

This is the nameless tomb statue chariot.

No one knows what this thing is called.

It is said that the statue was built to protect the cemetery and that forbidden techniques were used.

The statue chariot will move back and forth on the main road of the cemetery, blocking all invaders who try to break into the cemetery.

The huge size of the chariot filled the aisle of the cemetery. A huge iron stick extended from each side, and several wheels with spikes were installed symmetrically on both sides. I'm afraid no one could withstand being crushed by this thing.

This is the thing that persecuted countless newbies in previous games, and was given the nickname "dump truck" by the majority of players.

Elissa attacked again, leaping onto the statue chariot and freezing its interior.

In just a few seconds, the statue chariot stopped moving.

This statue chariot cannot be destroyed casually, as it will be used to guard the border hero cemetery in the future.

Ignore the statue chariot and pass by it.

Many spiritual soldiers appeared along the way, but after seeing Bai Shi, they stopped and stood to the sides.

Soon, Bai Shi and others arrived at the bottom of the cemetery, the room where the roots of the golden tree were located.

This was the place where the tree-returning ceremony was performed during the Golden Tree Era, but it is no longer used now.

A rotten tree spirit was awakened from its slumber and rushed towards the crowd with a roar.

Bai Shi put the coffin down. He was not in the mood to fight now, so he decided to deal with it as quickly as possible.

Bai Shi took action, and with the assistance of Elissa and Red, even the tree spirit with strong vitality was quickly killed.

Bai Shi placed the witch's coffin in the center of the room, took one last look at her, and memorized her face firmly.

It wasn't a grand funeral, just a burial.

The coffin was closed and she rested there forever.

　The witch was brought back and buried. Although she can't return to the tree, it's better than staying in the Chapel of the King Waiting for Death and rotting. It can be considered an ending for her T^T. By the way, the picture of the nameless suit in the previous chapter has been completed. Because I can't post pictures every day, sometimes it will be a little late. Sorry ('')
