Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 126 Savior? There is a liar ahead!

Bai Shi looked in the direction the wooden sign pointed.

There seemed to be some strange noises coming from the ruins in the night.

The torches also began to shake, as if the people holding the torches were fighting with something.

Bai Shi gestured to Torrett to move over there so that he could see what was going on.

At this place, if nothing unexpected happens, that should be the location of Shuihuan Village.

In Shuihuan Village, there is Tibia's calling ship, which can summon the spirit dead born, and there are also physical dead born nearby.

If a fader or anyone else comes across it, it will be very dangerous.

Bai Shi approached and saw the situation clearly:
Several Faded Ones, holding torches in one hand and weapons in the other, were fighting against the endless stream of Dead Borns.

Although the dead born here are quite fragile, they are just the most common militia and bandit skeletons. Those faded ones fell to the ground and fell apart with just two swings of the sword.

But even so, because these Faded Ones have no way to completely kill the Dead Born, the number of Dead Born will inevitably increase.

Just as the Deathborn in front was beaten to pieces, the Deathborn behind surrounded it again, and the Deathborn on the ground that was beaten to pieces were gradually recovering.

This group of Faded Ones have been surrounded by the Dead Borns and separated from each other.

"What's wrong with these guys? Why can't they be killed no matter what?!"

There were cries of fear among the ranks of the Faded.

A more experienced fader organized the others:
"Calm down, we have to find a time to break out!"

"Everyone move to the middle, gather together, and break out together!"

It's just a pity that the other Faders were too young and immature to carry out his instructions perfectly.

In the end, their formation still failed to assemble.

Bai Shi had already asked Torrett to move over there and prepare to rescue people.

However, the sudden change made Bai Shi tighten Torret's reins and stop.

Because a group of people came out from nowhere in the dark, all dressed in the same uniform as soldiers.

Following a loud laugh, a bald man emerged from the crowd.

"Hahahahahaha, sir, the savior Patch is here!"

That’s right, the person who appeared was Patch.

After Patch and his men rushed out, they kept throwing the pots in their hands.

The momentum was as if they didn't care about money, they just threw it out desperately.

These pots smashed into pieces among the dead born, and the glowing liquid inside splashed and splashed on the dead born.

It was the holy water jug, they used the holy water jug!
With the use of the holy water bottle, these dead borns fell apart one after another, and there was no sign of them being resurrected.

The other dead borns were instinctively afraid when they saw the holy water and retreated step by step.

Soon, the fragments of the holy water bottle were piled on the ground.

"Ah, I'm saved, I'm saved!"

The Faded Ones witnessed the Deathborn's encirclement crumbling, and immediately rushed out and joined Patch and the others.

"It's really awesome!"

"grateful!"

Patch gave a weird smile.

"Hmm hum hum hum ~"

"Of course, I am the savior."

"Oh, by the way, I was afraid you didn't know."

"I am a good brother to the King of Stonewell, the Storm King Baishi."

The rest of the Faded Ones were stunned.

Although the title of "Savior" had never been heard before, the titles of King of Stonewell and King of Storms were quite famous.

They were the Faded Ones who wanted to seek refuge in Stonewell, but they saw a few signs nearby saying there were treasures ahead, all pointing to this ruin.

Since this person is a good brother of King Stonewell, the value of the information instantly increases.

Moreover, this gentleman had used so many prop pots when he was rescuing them just now.

Although I don’t know how much effort and materials were spent on making it, it must be a very important prop to be able to repel those strange monsters so easily.

This Mr. Pachi is really nice.

Several of the Faders have come to trust Patch completely.

After all, he suddenly appeared, helped them who were in crisis, and even used expensive props. It was hard not to trust him.

And he said he was the savior.

However, they didn't know what kind of person Patch was.

Nor did they notice the strange smile on Patch's face as he had his back to them.

"Okay, let's retreat today and not fight them to the death. We'll settle the score with them later."

"If it weren't for protecting the other faded ones today, I would definitely not let you bastard dead borns go!"

"I, the savior Patch, will expel all of you deadborns from the border area, leaving no one behind!"

Patch shouted at the Deadborns loudly, then led them to escape.

Bai Shi looked at this weird scene and had a strong desire to complain, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Although Bai Shi had already expected that the wooden boards nearby should have been placed by Patch.

But I didn't expect Patch to do this.

Does he want to sit back and wait for something to happen, or try to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?

Patch has done a lot of cheating and fraud in the past.

Most of them tell people: There is a good thing there, wait for someone to get close and then kick it down.

These places are often Jedi, or places with powerful monsters.

Wait for people to be killed by other monsters, and then pick up equipment and things.

However, Bai Shi guessed the beginning but not the ending.

At first, Bai Shi thought that this was Patch's usual trick, luring people to a place where there were monsters, and then waiting for them to be killed by the monsters before picking up the bodies.

The result was that he directed and acted the role himself, and then appeared on stage to save people.

I just don't know what Pachi is up to.

Bai Shi was too tired to complain, so he shook his head and asked Torrett to run in the direction where Patch and the others had left.

Damn Patch, he even boasted about him. Bai Shi doesn't even remember that he and he were brothers.
-
Patch and his wandering soldiers took the rescued Faded Ones away from Shuihuan Village.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir."

"I really don't know how to repay you."

"I wonder what kind of reward you want?"

The group of faded ones were still thanking Patch.

"Hey, you don't have to thank me or pay me."

"After all, I am the savior Patch!"

The faded ones are still moved, what a good person!
Then Patch stretched out his hand towards them with a nasty smile.

The group of Faders were confused and had no idea what Patch meant now.

Are you asking for compensation?

But didn’t he just say no?
The Faded Ones looked at each other.

"Um, I don't know what you mean, sir?"

The experienced fader who had previously organized the group stepped forward.

"what do you mean?"

"Of course it's because I used our precious holy water bottle to save you just now!"

"That's the tool we're waiting to use in our fight with the Deadborn tomorrow. You don't think it's something that can be made casually, do you?"

"We were ordered by the Two Fingers to eliminate these Deadborns from the border area, but we didn't expect that saving you would delay things and even use the important holy water bottle."

"It's true that we don't want the reward for saving you, but we can't be asked to pay for the holy water bottle ourselves!"

"Saving you at my own expense is a small matter, but if it delays our great cause, then that will be a serious problem! Do you understand?"

Patch was talking nonsense, and of course he was making it up.

Patch spoke all of his words in a series, and the huge amount of information impacted the brains of the Faded Ones.

Although they always felt that something was wrong, what Patch said seemed to be correct.

Saving them is indeed free, but using precious props to save them may even affect their important mission.

And Patch did use a lot of holy water bottles.

In that case, they should indeed compensate Patch for the holy water bottles he used to save them.

Although they were unable to make holy water bottles, they could at least make up for it with runes of equal value, so that Lord Patch and the others could purchase them through other channels.

Otherwise, if their important mission is delayed, wouldn’t they become sinners? That is the mission bestowed by two fingers!

"Then, sir, please tell me, how many runes do these holy water bottles cost?"

Seeing that these idiots had believed it, Patch knew that he had succeeded again.

Patch touched his forehead deeply, trying hard to resist the urge to laugh, but his constantly twitching mouth corners revealed that he was in a state between trying to hold back and not being able to do so.

Patch seriously raised his thumb and index finger to them, making a number eight.

One of the faders breathed a sigh of relief.

"80 Runes each? Okay, we'll get to it right away..."

"No, no, no, eight hundred runes each."

Patch couldn't hold it in any longer, so he put on a cunning smile and shook his hand.

"Eight, eight hundred!?"

The Faded Ones swallowed their saliva upon hearing this.

Surviving in the border area, everyone would have some savings. If it was only 800, it could still be taken out. But the number of holy water bottles used just now was not small, and everyone had to pay several holy water bottles of runes.

"Well... May I ask how many holy water bottles did you use just now? If we pool our money together, we should be able to make up for your loss..."

The experienced fader became less and less confident as he spoke.

Patch pretended to count, but in fact he just made up a number.

"It took about twenty, but I'm kind-hearted, so you can just use twenty to make up for it."

The Faded Ones were disheartened. These runes combined might be worth more than all their lives.

"Hey, why did you use so many important holy water bottles just now?"

There are seven people here, and each of them has to pay at least two thousand.

Patch looked unhappy.

"Huh? What do you think? It's all for the purpose of saving you!"

"The Deadborn are a tough bunch, as you just experienced firsthand."

"If I hadn't used so many holy water bottles, I wouldn't have been able to save your lives!"

The faded ones were also shocked when they heard this.

Indeed, those undead were obviously quite difficult to deal with, and with their skills they would definitely not be able to escape.

Even if there is a way to escape, there will probably be heavy casualties.

Now Lord Patch and his men have offered to use the precious holy water bottle to save them, but they are ignorantly bargaining with him here.

Thinking of this, many faded ones lowered their heads in shame.

After seeing this, Patch probably realized that he had completely fooled these Faded Ones.

"Oh my, you are truly worthy of being my master."

'I wonder how much I can earn this time?'

Just as Patch was thinking about it, suddenly a cold voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"A bunch of nonsense."

Everyone looked over and saw a guy wearing strange armor.

This set of armor is made of melted gold and silver, just like two different people are closely fused together, inseparable.

The torso parts are glued together, and the relief carving creates the appearance of the gold and silver figures embracing each other.

A silver helmet extended from the breastplate, and there was a golden hand stroking the head.

The person who came was Death Hunting D.

In other words, it is D's elder brother, Darien.

He felt the tremor in the beast's eyes and knew there were dead roots nearby, so he came to remove them.

But I didn't expect to witness this group of guys cheating and deceiving people.

D is not a kind person who would lend a helping hand to others regardless of the consequences.

Generally, he would only give a verbal reminder. If the person doesn't listen to the advice, then his death has nothing to do with him.

Originally, he wouldn't care about this matter.

Although cheating and deceiving people are also despised in border areas, at least they do not harm people's lives.

But Patch calls himself the savior, and says that he was ordered by Two Fingers to destroy the Deadborn... That's nonsense.

D felt that if he didn't stand up and expose him.

Then the reputation of those who truly serve the Golden Rule and eliminate the Deadborn will be ruined by this guy sooner or later.

The Golden Rule does not allow for death.

Therefore, they, the executors, must constantly eliminate the dead born from death.

This is already a hard job, and now I have to be smeared by counterfeits. I can’t stand it.

But what he said just now sounded quite handsome.

'Expel all the Deadborn from the borderland, leaving no one behind.'

Maybe it can be used as a slogan in the future.

Patch wasn't at all bothered by the strange dress; he just felt very unhappy that his good thing was interrupted.

Patch spat and asked D who suddenly appeared with a stern face:

"Oh my, where did you come from?"

"Didn't your mother teach you not to interrupt?"

D is not someone who would back down just because of a few words from Patch, not to mention that he is stronger than Patch and the people behind him combined.

D then spoke:
"The materials used to make the holy water bottle are not complicated at all. If we only count the materials and not the labor cost, one hundred runes is enough to make one."

"Even if you take labor into account, it's only a little more expensive."

"He's not some savior. There has never been such a person."

"He simply wants to defraud you and take advantage of you."

When everyone heard this, their eyes towards Patch immediately changed.

Unexpectedly, the 'savior' suddenly turned into a liar.

Patch was enraged and pointed his shield and spear at D, with his mouth tilted and a ferocious expression.

"Haha, you ruined Mr. Patch's good deeds."

"Then you are going to suffer today!"

D was not afraid of Patch either, and pulled out a greatsword that was also made of a cross of gold and silver.

"It seems I have to teach you a lesson today, so that we, the representatives of the Golden Rule, will not be stigmatized."

"You just slipped away with your tail between your legs, and you still have a little dignity left."

"I hope you won't lie on the ground and cry later."

D didn't know that it was actually Patch who lured the Faded Ones to these Deadborns.

Otherwise, it might not be as simple as just teaching Patch a lesson.

The stray soldiers around Patch also drew their weapons, and the Faded Ones did the same upon seeing this.

The two groups confronted each other.

The Faded Ones are actually not ready to engage in a swordfight with Patch and his men.

After all, no matter what, Patch did save them.

If a fight really breaks out later, they will help Patch save his life.

However, it seems that there won’t be a fight today.

Because a strange sound was heard.

The sound was low and mournful, like funeral music played for the dead.

Then, the surrounding lake area suddenly began to emit a strange red light, and countless dead creatures crawled out of the red light and surrounded them.

A lavender, translucent hull appeared in the center of the lake.

Sitting on the boat was a skeleton in a red robe, holding a huge brass trombone in his hand, and the strange music was produced by it.

Looking at the dead borns surrounding him, Patch cursed:
"It's all your fault. We are now surrounded!"

Seeing that Patch continued to confuse right and wrong, D was not to be outdone and retorted:
"If you weren't greedy and doing shady business, you wouldn't have been targeted by them."

"I won't be able to take care of you guys if the fight starts later, so just hide aside and run away."

After saying that, D rushed forward.

The gold and silver twin swords in his hands are the holy swords for hunting the dead.

Possessing divine power, the dead borns injured by him will not be resurrected.

As he swung left and right, he quickly cut a path through the encirclement of the Dead Born.

Patch spat on the ground and rushed forward with a large shield in hand.

Don't get me wrong, Patch certainly didn't want to go up and help.

Now that others have fought their way out, it would be foolish not to follow them.

The stray soldiers around Patch followed him and threw the remaining holy water bottles.

The rest of the Faded Ones followed, not wanting to be left alone and surrounded.

D rushed to the front of the calling boat and slashed at the skeletons on the boat.

But the calling ship suddenly disappeared from its original location and then appeared in another place.

The Summoning Ship blew the trombone in his hand, awakening several spirit skeletons, which surrounded D and chopped him down with their swords.

D dodged hastily and was not injured.

If the attack fails, these spiritual skeletons will turn into smoke and dissipate.

D looked closely and saw that the Summoning Ship had been protected by other Dead Borns.

More and more dead borns appeared, ready to attack, staring at the living and constantly approaching the crowd.

D thought that today was destined to be another tough battle, and he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

Suddenly, a yellow light flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening thunder.

"Boom"

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, briefly illuminating the night.

With the help of the light, everyone saw that the lightning fell on a huge sword.

The lightning on the sword and spear illuminated Bai Shi's figure.

“It was a really good show.”

"Then it's time for me to take part in the performance."

Stonewell's true savior has appeared.

When Patch saw the equipment, his heart skipped a beat.

　Today I rolled an old man ring for my classmate (Bai Shi). Our Bai Shi is finally not a casual player anymore. I was moved to tears. Sometimes he will live broadcast on B station. You can go and watch, but don't pressure him, he is really a newbie. (But today, after the guard dog died more than ten times in Guishu, he actually passed the bad omen in one go. Is there really a genius?)
