Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 117 Border Hero Cemetery (Two in One)

After burying the witch, Bai Shi took a walk around the cemetery.

The first is the room they are in, which is located in the deepest part of the cemetery.

After killing the rotten tree spirit, its body gradually turned into powder and dissipated.

In the powder, Bai Shi picked up a golden tree seed.

The number of Holy Grail bottles can be increased by one, which is cause for celebration.

In the same room, Bai Shi found several ashes containing souls near the roots of the golden tree.

Roderica stepped forward and communicated with the soul on the ashes.

Bai Shi was listening quietly at the side.

Although he has the ability to communicate with souls after having the Soul Calling Bell, his communication effect is not as good as that of Roderica, who is a spirit trainer.

If the white consciousness directly communicates with these ashes that have not been tuned, it will be like a poor signal, and only unclear consciousness can be received.

Except for those who were extremely powerful during their lifetime like the Ancient King, they could communicate with the white consciousness without any obstacles through the medium of the Soul Calling Bell.

As for those who want to communicate more smoothly, they have to go through the spiritual adjustment by a spiritualist to make their souls full and able to sense each other.

It's not just about communication. The ashes are constantly reconciling with their owners in the process and can gradually develop strength close to what they had when they were alive.

Of course, if the ashes and their owner have a good compatibility, then they can directly exert powerful strength without any spiritual adjustment.

Roderica has a natural ability to communicate with spirits and has also learned the skills of a spirit trainer.

She can even communicate with spirits like a normal person.

Rodlika told Bai Shi that these were the ashes of the Storm Knights.

The most powerful of these is the ashes that still retain their name.

These ashes are exactly the ashes of Storm Knight Oleg.

Oleg was known in the past as one of the Storm King's wings and was a very brave general.

After the war between the Storm King's forces and the Golden Tree's forces ended, the Storm Knights, as the losers, continued to fight, which eventually angered the Golden Tree and they were almost all executed.

Veteran general Neo pleaded for mercy for these knights and spared their lives at the cost of his own foot.

Eventually, some knights chose to follow the veteran Neo, joined the army of "Golden" Godwin, and stationed in the city of Thor on a distant snowy mountain.

The remaining knights who were unwilling to follow were all exiled to the border.

Wings of the Storm King : Oleg and Ingwill are the ones who chose to come to the border.

After countless years of garrisoning on the border, the Shattering War broke out.

The 'King of Blessing' was impressed by the strength of the Storm Knights and invited them to the border.

Ingwill rejected the invitation of the 'Blessed King' and guarded the kingless city.

Oleg accepted the invitation of the Blessed King and served him from then on.

Eventually, Oleg became the sword in Monget's hand, hunting down countless traitors, and was rewarded for his crime and was able to return to the tree as a hero.

It’s a pity that the operation of the border area’s tree-returning system has collapsed with Godwin’s death, and no one can return to the tree anymore.

Oleg and the Storm Knights who chose to follow him could not return to the trees after death, and could only turn into ashes in this cemetery.

Just like in Bai Shi's memory, Oleg's ashes are in this cemetery in the game.

However, there are a few extra unnamed storm knights here, which is different from the game.

Oleg expressed great gratitude to Baishi for retaking Stonewell, and was willing to serve him with his soul body.

Bai Shi agreed. Although there would not be many opportunities to use him in the future, he might still be of great use.

In this world, you can summon more than just one soul from the ashes.

As long as the medium and magic power allow, many can be summoned at the same time.

The Soul Calling Bell can generally only summon 1~2 souls from ashes.

A more powerful medium can summon a group of soldiers like a veteran in the game.

If Bai Shi finds a more powerful medium in the future, then being a summoner would be great.

After all, the ashes don't need to eat or drink, nor do they need to worry about battle damage. They only need Bai Shi to provide some magic power, and they are the best soldiers.

Bai Shi asked Roderica to choose the ashes of a Storm Knight and carry them with her to protect her safety.

Although soul-calling bells are rare in the border area, they are not so rare that there are only a few of them.

One or two items can be seen from time to time in the trading area of the round table. Roderica has previously bought a soul-calling bell.

The group then walked around the cemetery, picking up lilies of the valley along the way.

There are quite a few lilies of the valley growing in this cemetery, mostly in the decorative doorways on both sides.

Maybe it’s because the ones growing in the middle of the road have already been crushed by dump trucks.

The number of these cemetery lilies of the valley is relatively small, but the quality is still good, and most of them are Lingyi cemetery lilies of the valley.

What the cemetery lily of the valley needs to grow is the breath of the soul, and the lily of the valley that has a relatively complete soul nestled in it will become the soul-dependent cemetery lily of the valley.

This is the cemetery of border heroes. Not many people are qualified to be buried here. Naturally, their strength and status during their lifetime are higher than those in other ordinary cemeteries.

Therefore, the soul left behind after death is more complete, so many lily of the valley in the cemetery were born.

These lilies of the valley in Lingyi Cemetery basically have a large number of flower buds. According to the level of the game, they are probably between level 3 and level 6.

But correspondingly, because the number of souls is small, the number of lilies of the valley is not large either.

If it is an ordinary cemetery that functions like a cemetery, it may even grow a sea of lily of the valley flowers.

Following the road to the cemetery, everyone walked up.

At the end of the cemetery road, there is a spirit of a Dragon Feast Storm Knight.

When the spiritual Storm Knight saw Bai Shi, he sensed that he was the master he should serve, and immediately reached his hand into his body.

He took out a scarlet mark and handed it to Bai Shi.

Bai Shi reached out and took it, and the mark floated into and sank into his body.

Bai Shi looked at his hand and saw that the mark was imprinted on the back of his hand, turning into a mark.

This mark appeared on the back of his hand, and it was somewhat similar to the Command Seal from an anime IP that had been around for who knows how many years in his previous life.

Of course, the true identity of this mark cannot be a Command Seal; it is the Dragon Feast Mark.

It is generated in the body of those who perform the Dragon Feast, and can enhance the power of the Dragon Feast prayer.

It just so happened that Bai Shi had already used the Great Rune to analyze the dragon heart of Yakir, so he could now use all the dragon-feast prayers he knew.

But Bai Shi suddenly thought of a question:
This mark is illusory and has no substance, so if you want to strengthen it in the future, how can you do it?
You have to know that forging stones are physical. It is impossible to use them to strengthen this illusory mark.
-
At this point, almost everything that could be searched on the main road of this underground cemetery had been searched.

But Bai Shi knew that there were other things hidden here.

He asked the others to return along the original route with the things collected here, while he found the road leading to the hidden place on one of the roads.

Bai Shi jumped down to a staggered level on the road. As soon as he landed, several stone demons pounced on him.

These little demons cannot sense that Bai Shi is their master like the storm troopers can.

The only things in their minds were the programs and commands left behind, which were to kill anyone who invaded the cemetery.

Bai Zhi summoned a storm, blowing the little demons half to death, and they collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

The underground cemetery is not maintained by anyone, so the little demons have weak self-healing abilities when they are first created.

This is to avoid serious damage to the underground cemetery due to the passage of time during long-term protection.

Ignoring these little demons, Bai Shi walked towards a passage leading downwards.

When Bai Shi approached the passage, a stone pillar with a statue of a little devil carved on it on the opposite side of the passage spewed out raging flames.

Bai Shi concentrated his magic power at his fingertips and shot out a small wind bullet.

The wind bomb hit the stone pillar, and the impact force triggered the mechanism of the stone pillar, causing it to quickly stop burning and sink into the ground.

There was another little devil in the aisle, and Bai Shi used the same trick again to paralyze it.

Walking through the passage and going forward, there is a small path in front of you that can only accommodate two or three people. On both sides of the path are abysses that you can't see the bottom of.

Opposite is a small platform.

There is a huge statue on the platform, and at the feet of the statue lies a sarcophagus covered with a red carpet.

There are many wooden benches and candlesticks on both sides of the platform. I wonder what this platform was used for in the past.

As Bai Shi walked to the middle of the path, two descendants of the limb-replacement nobles landed one after another and surrounded Bai Shi.

Facing the limb-jointed nobles who surrounded him from the front and back, Bai Shi drew out a big sword with one hand.

After being repaired by Xiugu, these two greatswords have returned to their original sharpness. No, they are even sharper than before.

Now these two weapons have been strengthened to +12 respectively.

It’s not that Bai Shi didn’t want them to continue strengthening. There are quite a lot of forging stones piled up in Stonewell’s warehouse.

It’s a pity that the highest forging stone in the warehouse is only level 4.

The more advanced forging stones can only be mined on the Yatan Plateau and the snow-capped mountains, which is part of the reason why the army there is more powerful.

The last time, the limb-replanted noble in Stonewell was handed over to Elissa to deal with. Now it is finally time for her to take revenge with her own hands.

The two limb-jointed nobles screamed and stabbed at Bai Shi with four straight swords one after another.

Bai Shi dodged sideways, and at the same time, his whole body spun like a top, and the sword in his hand extended a wind blade.

The storm of blades tore through the bodies of the descendants of the limb-grafted nobles.

The exposed limbs holding the straight sword were chopped to pieces by the storm and the sword blade, and only the body behind the big shield was protected to a certain extent.

The limb-reattaching noble stopped his attack, held the large shield in front of him, and retreated out of Bai Shi's attack range.

Bai Shi stopped the Blade Storm.

"What's wrong? If you don't come over, then I will."

Bai Shi rushed towards one of the limb-jointed nobles, tapped the ground with the two greatswords in his hands, lifted his whole body up high, and rolled in the air.

The limb-grafted noble raised his shield and tried to block the attack.

However, the Lion Slash that fell from the sky split the heavy shield of the limb-grafted noble into three pieces from top to bottom.

After landing, Bai Shi's two swords slashed out in an alternating manner, and each sword was sure to take away several limbs of the limb-reattaching noble.

It was the Lightning Tornado that had not been used for a long time.

The descendants of the limb-replacement nobles had a lot of arms and legs. By the time Bai Shi had finished chopping off a set, the ground was already filled with all kinds of limbs.

Only the stick-like body of the grafted noble was left lying on the ground.

Bai Shi pulled his sword back to block the two swords attacking from behind.

While Bai Shi was dismembering his companion, another limb-removing nobleman quietly sneaked up behind him and tried to attack him.

It was a pity that Bai Shi had a sharp reaction and spotted him instantly.

This limb-reattached noble is weaker than the other one and lacks combat experience.

The sneak attack failed, and Bai Shi found an opening and slashed with his sword, chopping the head in half.

The Whites took up their ceremonial swords and great golden shields.

These things are of no use to him now, but there might be people in Stonewell City who want to use them or are able to use them.

Bai Shi walked to the coffin under the statue, where there was a corpse lying on the ground.

After searching around for a while, he soon found a talisman on his body. This talisman was called the Grace of the Golden Tree.

In the distant heyday of the Golden Tree, it was said to be a talisman bestowed by Queen Marika herself.

This amulet can enhance the owner's physical strength, including vitality, endurance and weight-bearing capacity.

Bai Shi put it into the amulet leather bag, and soon he felt a sense of relaxation in his body.

Bai Shi now has a total of three amulet leather bags on him. The previous two amulet leather bags contained the mark of Radagang and the Holy Dragon's Amulet respectively.

There happened to be an empty amulet leather bag, so I filled it up now, so it wasn't a waste.

Bai Shi has not forgotten the ambitious goals he set before.

That is to sew a vest full of amulet leather bags and stuff all the defensive amulets into it.

It can be called the border version of a bulletproof vest.

Bai Shi walked to the sarcophagus under the statue.

This sarcophagus is very special. It must contain a remarkable person buried inside it, which is why it is placed in this special location.

Bai Shi had no intention of opening the coffin, even though he was very curious.

Although he cleaned up the materials in the cemetery, it was different if he took the initiative to open someone else's coffin.

Without the enemy, the entire cemetery was unobstructed, and Bai Shi soon plundered the cemetery clean.

I took the elevator to the top of the main road, jumped down, and returned to the main road.

We continued along the main road and met up with everyone at the poison pool at the entrance of the cemetery.

Seeing Bai Shi coming out, Elissa unfroze the statue chariot and let it patrol back and forth in the cemetery again to block possible invaders.

Bai Shi and others came out of the cemetery, took a last look at the huge statue above the Border Heroes Cemetery, and finally the entire convoy slowly returned to Stonewell.

The main purpose of this trip was to bury the witch, but by the way, we also obtained some rare items and materials in the cemetery, so it was a successful trip.

Then, Bai Shi will return to Stonewell to visit the magic teacher Tops.

　I have a lot of classes today, so I'm a little late. Sorry ('')
