Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 181 The Light-Seeking Behavior of the Fading

Bai Shi has no plans to visit the sacred tree now.

The purpose this time is to open a blessing point.

After opening the blessing point, you can use the blessing to teleport away. There is no need to stay for long.

Because it is too cold here in Huasheng Snowfield.

There is no equipment to keep warm and no props to deal with it now.

Although you won’t freeze to death, it will still be uncomfortable.

Bai Shi decided that the next time he came to the Holy Snow Plain, he would increase his cold resistance to the maximum.

Anyway, after opening the blessing point, you can decide when to come.

Bai Shi gazed at the sacred tree in the distance, clasped his hands across his chest, and silently summarized the gains from this trip.

No matter what, it is definitely a big profit to come to Huasheng Snow Plain through the portal this time.

At this border in reality, the snow-capped mountains and the sacred trees are definitely not only accessible through the royal city of Rodel like in the game.

There must be other ways to get to these two places.

If they really had to pass through the royal city, the army of the Holy Tree would not be able to go to Gelide unimpeded.

To put it simply, there was no way that Finlay could have crossed the royal city and brought Marennia back to the sacred tree.

And this is indeed the case. Bai Shi has now found one of the paths.

If you want to come here by other means, you need to complete a lot of prerequisites.

For example, conquering Rodel and obtaining the conditions for using the Lord Elevator.

Then go to Platinum Village to get half of the secret symbol, and then go to the Snow Mountain Thor City to get the other half of the secret symbol.

These all take a lot of time and can even be quite difficult to complete.

Even if you take other paths, it will still take a lot of time.

Now this situation makes Bai Shi quite satisfied.

This saves a considerable amount of time.

You can find the ceremonial town and enter the sacred tree.

You can retreat and touch the portal to reach the Blood Dynasty directly.

And no one could have imagined that Bai Shi could actually reach the source of Huashengxue.

If Bai Shi raided these two places, they would be completely unprepared.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Bai Shi can find the locations of these two places.

Bai Shi didn't find the map this time, so he couldn't go directly to these two places.

This is the only regret.

After taking a final look at the sacred tree in the distance, Bai Shi entered the blessed space.

Under the warm glow of blessing, the previous coldness and fatigue were instantly washed away.

The coldness on the armor was not removed, but that was not a problem.

Melina appeared beside him and touched the still cold armor on Bai Shi.

"It's really cold outside."

"Next time I come, I'll have to bring some gear that can protect me from the cold."

Bai Shi nodded.

"Well, let's ask Burke to prepare it after we return to Stonewell."

"It just so happens that I want to give him the golden tailoring tools I got from the Church of Destiny."

"With better tools, Burke's skills will surely be able to reach a higher level."

Bai Shi looked at Melina and blinked.

"Want to come over here for a moment?"

Melina's face suddenly flushed again.

Just now, because Bai Consciousness couldn't see her when she was in spirit form, she dared to be a little bolder.

"No, you're too cold."

Melina made up a random excuse and disappeared immediately after that.

Bai Shi was a little confused.

Is his armor that cold?

Or, are you shy again?
But we hugged each other for so long on the road just now, why should we be shy now?

Bai Shi sat in the blessing for a while before being teleported to the blessing in the fourth bell tower.
-
When he came out of the blessing, the light that had not been obscured by the wind and snow made Bai Shi unable to adapt at first.

The wind and snow were so strong in the Huasheng Snowfield that only a little light could penetrate.

Bai Shi looked around and soon found Slude.

Now Slude was sitting with his back against the top bell tower, waiting for Baizhi to come.

Bai Shi felt the temperature of Lienia.

I originally thought that the temperature in Lienia was a little low, but now it seems to be the most suitable temperature.

It turned out to be the right decision to let Slude leave first.

Otherwise, with Slude's thin dance skirt, she would definitely be frozen.

When Slude saw Bai Shi appear, he stood up and walked over, following him silently.

Bai Shi walked to the edge of the mountain top where the four bell towers were located, and used the terrain to observe the situation in the distance.

Now let's take advantage of the day to look at the distribution of the cuckoos and plan the route back to Stonewell.

The Cuckoo Camp that we visited before was quite large, and it should be a base camp of some kind.

Looking in the direction of Stonewell, you can see that there are many cuckoo camps scattered along the shore of Lienia, and you can also see several large-scale settlements.

Bai Shi suddenly discovered a building, which immediately attracted his attention.

At the end of the sight, a magic tower stood alone on the shore.

Thinking back, this magic tower seems to be a conversion tower.

That is to give up the exploration of magic, and instead believe in the Golden Law, and build a magic tower to enshrine the statue of Marika.

I remember that it seems that the decryption of this conversion tower can be skipped directly.

If normal decryption requires an action, it seems to be 'deeply intelligent'.

Although I remember the name, I am not sure how to perform the action.

Anyway, basically you just jump up from the side in multiple rounds.

Bai Shi thought about it and decided to go in that direction to take away the things in the magic tower.

Besides the memory stone, there must be magic in the magic tower, right?
If you convert to the Golden Tree, you must also pray, right?
Bai Shi just wanted to help the things in the magic tower shine again.
-
After leaving the Four Bell Towers, the two headed straight for the Conversion Tower.

As usual, Bai Shi cast the spell of becoming invisible on himself and Slud, and then passed through the roads between the cuckoo settlements.

The gathering places are not close to each other, with only one every few kilometers, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.

When passing by one of the gathering places, Bai Shi discovered a sealed prison on the ground.

There are many cuckoo soldiers guarding the sealed prison.

It should be the sealed prison of the Kalia Goblin Knight.

If he is rescued, he can go to help in the Kalia Castle in Lani. The combat power of a Kalia Mountain Knight is still quite strong.

Not only is he physically strong, he also knows magic.

There are no disadvantages except that it is too conspicuous when in action.

Bai Shi was not in a hurry to go in and release him.

Now that he has been rescued, Bai Shi must take him with him into the operation.

Otherwise, if he gets stuck in the cuckoos' territory, he will just be captured again.

So let's release him later.

Bai Shi noted the location of the sealed prison and continued to move towards the Conversion Tower.

Gradually, the two of them left the cuckoos' sphere of influence, and there were no more cuckoos active near the magic tower.

Inside the Conversion Tower, the cuckoos left traces of their activities, turning over everything they could, and the scene was a mess.

But the cuckoos did not find a way to get up, and the seal of the Conversion Tower was still there.

Bai Shi stood in front of Marika's statue and recalled how Shen Juzhi had done this action.

Bai Shi first raised his hands horizontally, then pointed his forearms diagonally upwards to form a triangle shape, and looked up at the Marika statue.

However, nothing happened.

Bai Shi tried again, but it still didn't work.

There was a soft laugh from the side.

Obviously it wasn't Slud who stayed outside the Conversion Tower, it could only be Melina.

Bai Shi supported his chin with his right hand and began to think.

It seems that opening the seal of the magic tower requires more than just one action, and may require some magical power operation or something like that.

After all, it is related to magic, so it may not be recognized by simply posing.

It doesn't matter, Bai Shi will jump out of the window.

Bai Shi left from the first floor of the Conversion Tower.

I went out and looked around, and my eyes were fixed on the half-broken wall next to the Conversion Tower.

There is a considerable distance between the wall of the Conversion Tower and the tower itself. Even if an ordinary person climbs up the wall, he or she will not be able to jump over it.

But if it was just this distance, it would be a piece of cake for Torrett.

So Bai Shi mounted Torret and used a double jump to climb up the narrow wall.

On top of this wall, Bai Shi found the location opposite the second floor of the Conversion Tower and asked Torrett to jump over there.

At the door of the Conversion Tower, Slud witnessed the entire process of Bai Shi and Torret breaking into the Conversion Tower.

She couldn't help but complain about Bai Shi's current behavior in her heart.

He is a king, but he managed to break into the magic tower in this way...

Maybe I was not wrong to think that Bai Shi was a tomb robber when I first met him.

Is this some special hobby?

Bai Shi didn't know what was in Slude's mind, otherwise he would just tell her with a smile that faded people are attracted to light, and stealing is a traditional virtue.

Bai Shi and Torret entered the Conversion Tower, where various manuscripts and books were scattered all over the floor. Having lost the management of their previous owners, they had become a mess over the long years.

Bai Shi got off Torrett, picked up several manuscripts on the ground and took a look at them.

Although the content above is somewhat blurred by weathering, it can still be vaguely seen from the emblem that this is a research manuscript on the Golden Rule prayer, which reflects the tower owner's understanding.

This one is badly weathered and seems to have no value anymore.

The things scattered on the ground nearby were probably also relatively basic, so they were not well preserved. Bai Shi had no expectations for these things.

However, there should be a lot of really good stuff in the top of the tower further up.

Following the spiral staircase outside the Conversion Tower, Bai Shi arrived at the small room at the top of the tower.

In the small room, various books are neatly placed on the bookshelf.

The former owner of this magic tower is now lying on the table in this small room.

He wore a Lazli stone mask on his head and lay on the table. The wizard's robe on his body was tattered and could not cover the dry bones underneath.

The magician Razli viewed the stars and the moon equally, and now the tower master had directly converted to the Golden Rule.

There is an exquisite necklace on the table.

Bai Shi walked over and picked up the necklace, but this triggered a magic trap and a broom star shot down from the ceiling of the magic tower.

Bai Shi reacted in time and dodged by jumping sideways. The broom star went straight through the floor and penetrated downwards.

If Bai Shi was attacked by the broom star in the trap, he would also be injured. Can we say that he is worthy of being the master of the magic tower? His killing power is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary magicians.

After dodging the attack, Bai Shi held the necklace in his hand and looked at it.

This is the prop for expanding the memory grid in the game - the memory stone.

The memory stone necklace has a pendant with a matte black gemstone embedded in it.

That is the magicians' secret treasure, said to come from the Black Moon of the Eternal City.

Bai Shi compared the seal key he had obtained earlier and confirmed that the black gem on the seal key was also part of the Black Moon.

Speaking of which, what effect will the memory stone have in this world?

For the sake of gameplay, the game limits the number of magic and prayers that can be carried in the game, and requires enough memory grids to store them.

But now there is no such restriction. The only restriction is whether you can learn and master it.

Bai Shi put the memory stone necklace around his neck, and immediately felt that his thinking became clearer and the flow of magic power became smoother.

After trying it a little towards the sky outside the magic tower, I found that the casting speed of various magics increased a little, and the power seemed to be slightly improved as well.

It is more obvious when using night magic.

It seems that adding two points of intelligence can increase the casting speed, plus an additional bonus of night magic.

The effect is quite good, no wonder it is regarded as a treasure by magicians.

However, it seems that this effect cannot be stacked by wearing more memory stones.

But even if it cannot be stacked, it is not bad, because this kind of accessory does not need to occupy the space of the amulet leather bag.

Maybe I should collect more rings and necklaces and become the Lord of the Rings.

After stuffing the memory stone necklace into the innermost layer of the armor and placing it close to his body, Bai Shi continued to look at the bookshelf next to him.

I took out a few books and looked through them. They were basically all intact, with no problems with the recorded contents and the handwriting was clearly visible.

In addition to various magic books, there are also several Golden Rule prayer books.

These Golden Rule prayer books take up a considerable portion of the bookshelf, and even the Golden Rule fundamentalist Principle of Causality is included.

But for a magician who can use a broom, the prayers here are a bit too low-level.

However, judging from the number of prayer books he had, this magician had a strong desire to convert.

I don’t know why he changed the path of exploration that he had spent half his life on.

Bai Shi looked at the magician's dry right hand resting on the table. On the back of the hand there was an illusory golden holy mark of the law.

The Holy Seal of Dragon Feast that Bai Shi had been using before was given to him by the Spirit Storm Knight, so Bai Shi didn't know how to transfer the holy seal.

Maybe... I can chop off my hands like transplanting Command Seals?
Forget it, let’s not mess around. The Holy Seal of Dragon Feast is enough.

Bai Shi collected all the books, confirmed that there was nothing else worth collecting, and then jumped down from the outer wall of the Conversion Tower.

　I will fly home on the 13th. The update should be restored on the 14th. I can finally go to Galide to fight.
