Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 187 Abnormal Plot

The knight who nodded to Bai Shi was named Leida.

She is the knight of the god-man Michaela, the only knight.

He is also Freya's companion on the journey of following Michaela, and can even be said to be a friend.

Freya heard about the battle festival and was coming back to see the general off for the last time.

After finding out, Leida called Dan and went to Red Lion City together.

But Leida's purpose does not stop there.

As the most loyal follower of Master Michaela, she knew a lot about Master Michaela's plans.

She also knew what Lady Michaela wanted her to do.

I came here just to fulfill the promise between Master Latan and Master Michaela.

This trip wasn't just about bringing the Promised King to Michaela.

Furthermore, it would be best to select strong warriors who are willing to follow Master Michaela.

Next, there is room for the Warriors to show their prowess.

This is the only way to successfully implement Lady Michaela's plan in the Shadow Land...
-
Seeing him nod at him, Bai Shi also nodded to the knight.

Then everyone was attracted by the noise made by Freya and Jerry.

Jeremiah reached out and knocked on Freya's helmet, making it clang loudly.

"You girl, you're obviously fine, why did you come back only now?"

"I thought you died in Ionia."

Although his hands were ruthless, his concern was evident in his words.

Freya smiled twice, somewhat embarrassedly, and felt a little sorry for leaving without saying goodbye.

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

"There were reasons for what happened. I was seriously injured and almost died."

Freya sighed as she recalled the scene of her near death.

Jeremiah looked at Freya, who was now intact.

"What happened then? What happened?"

"Tell me about it."

Freya touched her helmet.

"As for this, it's a long story."

Freya originally wanted to say it directly, but suddenly remembered what Leida had reminded her before.

So Freya pulled Jeria aside.

Freya put her head close to Jeremiah's helmet and whispered something to him.

The sound was so loud that the people around could not hear it.

Leida felt helpless when she saw this.

I originally thought of letting Freya lead the way and make some contact with the people of Red Lion City.

As a result, this local started chatting with the city lord.

It was somewhat awkward to leave two outsiders standing here.

It's okay as for Freya, knowing that she is very straightforward and somewhat innocent.

But no one expected that City Lord Jie Lian would have such a straightforward personality and suddenly put the guest on hold.

Can we say it is passed down from generation to generation?

Although Freya was asked not to spread the news, it was not something that had to be kept secret from others.

If they really wanted to hide their tracks, they wouldn't be here.

She seemed to have a good relationship with Jie Lian, so it didn't matter.

He also knows how to avoid other people, which is an improvement compared to before.

At most, it would let Lord Jeria know that Lady Michaela had been active in Ionia.

But they don't know any other information.

Leida is extremely confident in Lady Michaela's plan.

Except for the people involved, no one can find out the truth from the clues on the border.

This is also the reason why she can appear in Red Lion City with confidence.

Seeing that she couldn't make contact with Jerry for the time being, Leida shifted her gaze and looked at Bai Shi and Iggy.

Leida didn't expect that when Freya brought them to Red Lion City, they would make unexpected discoveries.

I actually met some interesting people here.

Iggy was a retainer of Kalia whom Leida had met before.

But the other person...

Although I don't know where he came from, I can tell just by looking at him that he is incredibly strong.

Leida also saw several particularly powerful warriors in the city and took them as subjects of observation.

If there is an opportunity in the future, I can test their willingness to serve Master Michaela together.

But those warriors were already eclipsed by Bai Shi.

Such a strong person can undoubtedly help Lady Michaela achieve her goals.
-
Bai Shi couldn't hear what the grandfather and grandson were saying, so he refocused his attention on the two companions brought by Freya.

Unexpectedly, I met the eyes of that gorgeous knight again.

The other party seemed to be observing him as well.

When I saw this group of newcomers, each of them had very distinctive equipment, and I knew at a glance that these people must be extraordinary.

These people all look very powerful, especially the one wearing a white cloak and golden armor.

Although the equipment is gorgeous and elegant, it does not look like combat equipment at all, but rather like a work of art for viewing.

But there was a calm determination about him.

In addition, Bai Shi could also smell the indelible smell of blood on him.

There is no doubt that for a warrior, this is a symbol of killing countless enemies and strength.

His intuition as a player told him that if these guys were in the game, they must be characters with a plot.

The knight leaned toward Iggy and bowed slightly.

"Master Iggy, it's been a long time."

"I am Leida, and I met you once because I accompanied Master Mikaela."

Bai Shi was a little surprised that this guy was actually a female knight.

And from the sound of his voice he seems very honest and reliable.

She was wearing too thick clothes, with a tube-shaped garment over the armor, so it was impossible to tell her gender at first glance.

When Iggy saw Leida, he was particularly moved:
"It's the 'Golden Needle Knight' Leida, what a rare visitor."

"I have an impression of you."

Iggy had only met Michaela once or twice, so he naturally had an impression of the Golden Needle Knight who had always been by his side.

Although I certainly don't remember her name being Leida.

Sure enough, people tend to forget things when they get old.

"The Knight of the Golden Needle?"

Bai Shi pondered over the name.

In Bai Shi's memory, there are only two things related to golden needles:
Pure golden needles and Michaela's golden needles.

Is that Mikaela's Golden Needle Knight? A character that's not in the game.

Bai Shi carefully observed the Golden Needle Knight named Leida.

The snow-white cloak was embroidered with lush branches and leaves, and the armor also had fine golden interlaced tree patterns.

Moreover, the armor she was wearing was made of a unique gold, which had a distinct color difference from the gold worn by Freya next to her. It was probably Michaela's pure gold.

Especially the overlapping golden grids on the hilt, which are somewhat similar in shape to the pure golden needle.

I just don't know how powerful the Golden Needle Knights who have never appeared before are.

Iggy thought about the past scene and then spoke:
"It has indeed been a long time. How has Miss Michaela been doing lately?"

"It seems that I have never heard of him since the Shattering War."

Leida on the other side chuckled twice.

"Ms. Michaela is still moving towards her ideal."

"However, given the current situation at the border, Lady Michaela no longer needs to go out, so there is probably little news from the outside world."

White-sense judgment: This is a lie.

Michaela is still in the Blood Dynasty, staying in the cocoon, so of course there is no news about her.

However, Bai Zhi could also understand Leida's lies.

After all, Michaela was kidnapped from the sacred tree, and this kind of thing cannot be told to outsiders casually.

Of course this kind of thing had to be kept secret, otherwise Malenia wouldn't have run to Gallid in the first place.

But as a Golden Needle Knight, why is she not thinking about how to find Michaela? Now she is participating in the battle festival with Freya?

However, the communication between Leida and Iggy did not allow Bai Shi to obtain any more information.

Because the conversation between Jerry and Freya ended.

After seeing the two men finish their conversation, Leida said goodbye to Bai Shi and Iggie and went to find Jie Lian as planned.

This time, none of the communication between the three of them and Jie Lian could be heard.

Only Bai Shi and Iggy were left here.

Bai Shi looked up at Iggy next to him.

"Master Iggy, the Knight of the Golden Needle is Michaela's knight, right?"

Iggy nodded.

"Yes, the Golden Needle Knights are Michaela's personal guard knights."

"In terms of strength, they are about the same as our Kalia Knights, but they are less in number."

"The Leida just now is the strongest among them. She has always been with Lady Mikaela."

Bai Shi nodded. The chief of the Golden Needle Knights, or the leader of Michaela's support group?

Iggy thought for a moment and spoke again:
"Master Baishi, just think of me as being nosy."

"Ms. Michaela is a gentle, loving person..."

"But love that is too pure, love without restraint, is doomed to be abnormal love."

"So I always felt that Lady Michaela was actually a very dangerous person."

"If you come into contact with Lady Michaela in the future, you must be careful."

Bai Shi nodded, not quite understanding.

However, Bai Shi also thinks that this is advice worth keeping in mind.

If it is true as old man Iggy said, that Michaela's love is unrestrained love, then it is a bit scary.

Because such a person will not think that his love is wrong, which may be very troublesome to others.

When Lani talked about Michaela earlier, Bai Shi had always felt wary.

Since Lani and Iggy, two people who have had contact with Michaela, said so, Bai Shi would also listen to this advice.

Moreover, Bai Shi had seen the power of the enchanting branches before, and it was indeed quite terrifying.

In addition, the text of Marennia's equipment also has this description:
Possessing the wisdom and seductive power of a god, Michaela is the most terrifying god-man.

Bai Shi's assessment of Michaela's danger rose two notches in his mind.
-
Not long after, Leida, Freya and the other two said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Leida looked at Bai Shi deeply again.

As for the man in the big hat next to them, Bai Shi had no idea why he followed them.

It seems like he really didn't say a word?
After these people left, Bai Shi asked Jie Lian about Freya.

And what did they say to Jie Lian just now, and why did they suddenly come to the door.

There was really nothing wrong with Leida coming to see Jie Lian.

Just as a representative of Michaela's forces, he expressed his disapproval of General Ratan's current situation and said he would contribute to the battle festival.

Basically just some polite words.

And Jerry also knew that Malenia completely obeyed Michaela's commands.

When Malenia and the general fought, it might have been Michaela's plan.

However, now it is more important for Red Lion City to hold a battle ceremony to commemorate the general than to hold the Holy Tree responsible and then fight to the death.

After the battle festival is over, Jie Lian will follow the clues to find out the truth.

Therefore, Jie Lian simply said a few words and passed the matter over.

However, seeing that Bai Shi was curious about Freya, Jie Lian introduced her to him:
"Freya used to be a sword fighter. General Latan valued her bravery and recruited her as a royal guard knight."

"She was still very young at the time and we all took good care of her and had a good relationship with her."

"As for later, she disappeared during the Ionian War."

"I thought she was dead like Oga, but she's still alive."

Recalling Freya's words just now, Jerry organized his words.

"According to her, she was struck by a violent crimson corruption after the Ionian War."

"There was no one else around, her wounds were festering, and she was waiting to die."

"But then she met Lady Michaela, who used her mouth to suck out the poison for her."

"Then she decided to follow Master Michaela in order to repay him for saving her life."

Bai Shi nodded.

Carrying the Scarlet Corruption, with no comrades around him, he met Michaela when he was desperately waiting to die.

Michaela was a god, and he personally helped her suck out the poison.

Although the story is old-fashioned, it is still touching.

Especially when it happened to her.

Uh-huh?

Bai Shi thought about it for a while and felt that something was not right.

Suddenly, Bai Shi found a strange sense of incongruity in this story.

After the Ionian War, he was infected with the Scarlet Corruption and then met Mikaela?

What the hell, at this time?
Wasn’t Michaela kidnapped from the Holy Tree by Monger a long time ago?
Didn't Marennia go south and fight to Gaileed just to find Michaela?

Ah?

Why did Mikaela appear on the battlefield after the Ionian War and help Freya absorb the poison?
Bai Shi suddenly felt a little confused.

Is it really Michaela? And they say it's Michaela's half, Torina?

But does Torina have this ability?
It seems that only Mikaela, who controls pure gold, has this ability.

Could it be that the one lying in the cocoon is actually Torina, so Michaela can move around outside?
That's not right. It's impossible that Monger got the gender wrong.

However, it doesn't make sense to say that Michaela deceived Monger by using a clone or something like that.

Strange, so strange, what is going on?

For the first time, Bai Shi felt that the plot of this world was greatly different from what he knew.

Even if this world is real, all the major events that have happened in the game have happened without exception.

If that’s the case, why was Michaela able to escape from Monger?

Michaela, who has no information at all, makes the familiar plot become confusing.
